Shaokang and Xia Xie glanced at each other, guessing that this imperial edict was also a slap in the face to a sweet date. [ ] But this time, the sweet date was given first. Wang Tianlai paused and said: "China has been at war with Yi and Di for a long time, and the treasury is empty. I heard
Shaokang led the southern Xinjiang and governed it well. Therefore, he specially urged 10 million dan of tax and grain and 1 million livestock for one year."
The group of people below suddenly burst into an uproar. Ten million stones of grain and grass, and one million livestock are no different from life-threatening. However, Shaokang signaled everyone to be quiet. Then Wang Tianlai continued to read: "Xia Xie, the son of the guilty minister, has made outstanding military achievements. China now lacks good ministers and strong generals.
I have given General Xia Xie Pingnan to follow the envoy to the north today. The princess of Nanzhao is gentle, virtuous and virtuous, and is a model for Chinese women. She has been specially appointed to go north with the envoy. I appreciate this!"
Shaokang hurriedly shouted: "Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live, long live, long live." The group of ministers below were dumbfounded. They had seen bullies before, but this was the first time they saw such a bully. This was clearly to make Xia Xie follow him.
Mo Shaoqing forced him to go to Anyi to be a hostage. He straddled his neck to defecate, and wiped off the stool, which made the stool loose. Many people had endured it, and at this moment Xia Xie coughed to signal them to be quiet.
Wang Tianlai saw all this and said with a smile: "The envoy will leave tomorrow. Shaokang, ask Xia Xie and Princess Nanzhao to prepare to leave with us. In one month, you must send the first tax to Kun
I. Do you have any opinions?"
Shaokang hurriedly smiled and said: "No objection, no objection. The king is able to reuse Xia Xie, and you are his blessing. As for my sister being able to go to Anyi, it is also her good fortune. Guys, please come with me. I will prepare for you.
Where to stay." Then he went out with a few envoys. As soon as they left, the heavy duty people behind them surrounded them with a roar, and they said something filled with indignation.
Xia Xie waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please be quiet. A little impatience will mess up big plans. Southern Xinjiang has just been pacified, and we really can't afford to experience any storms. We are gritting our teeth at the moment and trying to get through this."
Everyone was holding back a sense of evil in their hearts. China had gone too far. After a while, Shaokang came back. When he saw Xia Xie, he had mixed feelings. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak. Xia Xie patted him on the shoulder.
He smiled and said, "What's the trouble? I just want to go to Anyi and stay for a few years. It's not a big deal."
Shaokang gritted his teeth and said: "It's too dangerous. You're going to be in trouble. If something happens, I can find a good brother like you there. I've already decided to go against him. Isn't that right?
If we fight again, I won't believe that China can eat me."
Xia Xie said calmly: "Calm down, once the war with China breaks out, all your and my dreams will be in vain. We have made it this far with great difficulty, so we must not have any more accidents. Wait for us in a few years.
Southern Xinjiang becomes stronger
, He Huaxia has to think carefully even if he makes a challenge. Besides, the stronger we are, the safer I will be. This matter has been decided. As for Mo Shaoqing, I will do everything possible to protect her. After all, she is the father.
Ordered for my wife.”
Shaokang said nothing. He clenched his fists tightly and his whole body was shaking. After a long time, Shaokang waved his hands and said: "You all go down. I will talk to Xia Xie." Then many ministers retreated one after another.
Shaokang and Xia Xie walked out of the hall, and they sat on the steps, each holding a wine jar and drinking at each other. But they were silent to each other. After drinking a jar, Shaokang smiled and said: "Remember the first time we met?
?”
Xia Xie said with a smile: "Of course I remember. You would have been in a lot of embarrassment at that time. If it weren't for me, you would have been killed by someone else. Haha."
Shaokang sighed and said, "Yes, time flies. Six or seven years have passed in a flash. Who would have expected that the two of us would be so promising? I thought I was going to die in southern Xinjiang. We have been together for so many years.
, we have been together through thick and thin, with swords and guns. I never thought that you would risk your life for my dream."
Xia Xie laughed and said: "You crow's mouth. What is your dream? Is it good for the two of us? They appointed me because they were afraid that the two of us would be together. They thought that if we were separated, the world would be ruined."
It's peaceful. They ignored that I, Xia Xie, am just a thug, and you are the one who controls all this. It's better than
It would be much better to let you go. I have already guessed their conditions. Fortunately, fortunately. I leave, you stay and work hard, then your revenge will be displayed. Let them open their eyes and let them see King Yu's
Descendants are not child's play." Shaokang nodded and said, "Don't worry. Nothing can hinder our progress."
Xia Xie sighed and said: "After I leave, it is best to hand over the power of the army to Mr. Fangfeng. He is the person I have ever seen who is truly devoted to Southern Xinjiang. Apart from him, my subordinates Shen Tu Lei, Han Songxue, and Sun Tianyu are all loyal
Reliable people.
I can help you later." While he was talking, Fangfeng Muyun came over from a distance carrying a few wine jars. When he saw them, he laughed loudly and said, "I knew you two were here too. Boy Xia, you have to leave tomorrow.
Come. Let me have a few drinks with you."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "Thank you for the promotion, old man. Just now I was thinking of letting you serve as the chief commander of the army."
Fangfeng Muyun waved his hands and said: "I am old, and I am no longer qualified to hold such an important position. It is best to let Shaokang hold the power of the army. The only thing I can do is run errands for Shaokang.
, just a fight. Just
You went to China, but you were walking on thin ice, and there were many dangers. You have to live for me." Xia Xie said with a smile: "The person who can kill me has not been born yet. But I have something to trouble you, old man, run away for me.
Legs."
Fangfeng Muyun smiled and said: "You are quite honest, kid. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xia Xie took out a seal from his pocket for a long time and handed it to Fangfeng Muyun, who was the number one warrior in Southern Xinjiang. "I originally promised Yao Ruoxin to marry her in September. But now it's too late. This is it."
This is a token I gave her. Please tell her that I will marry her when I come back."
Fangfeng Muyun installed the seal and said, "Don't worry, my old arms and legs can still do this for you."
Xia Xie smiled and said: "That's good, come and have a drink. I'm not going to die. Let me go to Anyi. I have to stir up trouble for them. It's no big deal."
Shaokang laughed and said: "Well, I hope you mess with him and turn him upside down." After the three of them drank for a while, Xia Xie said goodbye to them and returned home.
As soon as he walked to the gate, he saw Tang Caixin and Princess Taiping waiting for him anxiously. Tang Caixin was crying like a tearful person, while Princess Taiping was holding a long sword in her hand, as if fighting for her life. When she saw Xia Xie coming back, Tang Caixin
He threw himself into Xia Xie's arms and whimpered, "Are you really going?"
