God rewarded Yuan Xi's face for a long time. It was still sunny in the morning, but he still turned against him later.
Lu Lingqi, who was inside the sedan, was almost doused by the rain from all over the world. The top of the sedan first became wet, and then began to drip and drip with water. Sun Li quickly directed everyone to carry the sedan into the hall, and then everyone rushed to save the pile.
Tall dowry box.
Lu Lingqi heard the noise and shouting outside, and she began to sway uncomfortably inside the sedan chair. The entire sedan chair was teetering on the edge, frightening the maids next to her.
Yuan Xi saw him at the side, suppressing his laughter and whispered: "Be patient for now, it will be fine after a while."
Lu Lingqi said dullly: "It's really boring."
Yuan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He discovered that Lu Lingqi actually didn't have much desire for marriage, and her relationship with him was that of a partner fighting side by side.
But this seems pretty good?
Guests came one after another. This time Yuan Xi was not marrying his first wife, so the etiquette was a little lower. Noble family members came to give gifts, which was not as ostentatious as last time. However, considering that Lu Bu was the general of the Han Dynasty, almost all of them
The whole family sent people over.
After much tossing, the two of them paid their respects and the guests dispersed. Yuan Xi led Lu Lingqi into the bridal chamber at the top of the small building.
Under Yuan Xi's familiar guidance, the two drank a glass of wine, cut their hair and tied it together, which was considered a formal ceremony.
Yuan Xi saw Lu Lingqi lying on the window sill, looking into the distance with a depressed look, and said with a smile: "Why, you are so wronged?"
Lu Lingqi groaned and said: "Come to Tiankui. Ever since I came to Yecheng, everything has not gone well."
Yuan Xi laughed, hugged Lu Lingqi in his arms, and the two looked side by side at the lights below Ye City, "The days ahead are long."
"Besides, it will be a long time since we leave Yecheng this time. We won't come back. Let's take a look at the night view together tonight."
Lu Lingqi felt that Yuan Xi's hands were beginning to be dishonest, her face became hot, and she said angrily: "I want to teach you a lesson tonight so that you can escape."
Yuan Xi is happy, who teaches whom?
He said: "We will set off back to Youzhou tomorrow."
"Do you want to go back to Jicheng first or Beixin City?"
Lu Lingqi hesitated for a moment, "According to protocol, I should go to see the doctor first, but I haven't adapted to it yet. How about I go back to Beixin City to pay homage to Master's mausoleum first?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Lu Lingqi whispered: "You don't have to be like this. I heard that Mrs. Zhen is pregnant. Why don't you go back and take a look first?"
Yuan Xi sighed: "It's impossible to say that I don't want to, but even if I go back, I won't be able to help."
"What's more, the Heishan Passage has been opened thickly. Beixin City's position in Zhuo County has become more and more important. The defense needs to be adjusted accordingly. I will go over and take a look before I feel relieved."
"Let's pay homage to Dezhou together and then return to Jicheng."
Lu Lingqi said softly: "Am I very willful?"
"Actually, I'm quite unwilling to be your concubine."
Yuan Xi sighed: "I know who would be willing to distinguish between high and low."
"Cai Zhaoji, who was following me before, has never mentioned the matter of status. I know that she is also a proud and arrogant person, so I just don't want any status."
Lu Lingqi blinked and said, "Cai Zhonglang's daughter?"
"My husband is really awesome. How did these women get deceived?"
"You dare to attack Gongsun Zan's widow. Even I admire your courage."
Yuan Xi sweated profusely, thinking that he couldn't clear up the matter concerning Mrs. Hou. The key was that he had done nothing.
But Sun Jian's widow did exist, and Yuan Xi felt a chill down his back at the thought of stepping on this landmine that could explode at any time.
Lu Lingqi sighed: "There is no woman in the world who doesn't value status. I'm afraid she just doesn't want to embarrass her husband."
Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "I know, so in the future I will be granted the title of Duke and King, and I will naturally be able to win you the title of wife."
Lu Lingqi said in surprise: "Become the king?"
"There are not many Han kings with different surnames since Emperor Gaozu, right?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "If you dare to think, in this world, if you have reached my level, you can no longer retreat."
"Even if I want to retreat, others will not let me go, so I can only move forward."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi smiled and said, "That sounds very interesting."
Yuan Xiqi asked: "Aren't you afraid?"
"If this fails, we will all die."
Lu Lingqi muttered: "I have been on the battlefield and have seen life and death."
"I am the daughter of Marquis Wen!"
She suddenly lowered her voice, "I'm afraid that if something big happens to my father, it will be very dangerous, right?"
"Is this why Father entrusted me to you?"
Yuan Xi was silent, Lu Lingqi was very smart and had already figured out that General Lu Bu was so easy to do. How many generals in the past had died well?
He said in a deep voice: "Things may not be that bad. I have prepared a retreat. As long as Marquis Wen does what he said, even if something happens, his life will be safe."
Lu Lingqi leaned into Yuan Xi's arms, "I'm curious, did you trick other women like this?"
Yuan Xi thought to himself that the other women around him all had dead fathers.
He thought for a while and said aloud: "That would be a long story."
"When I was besieged in Beixin City, Zilong was still my enemy. At the same time, the Southern Huns took advantage of the Black Mountains to move northward."
The two of them whispered, and before they knew it, the moon reached the zenith and drew an arc in the night sky, raising the sun. With the rooster crowing several times, the early morning light once again filled Yecheng and shone into the small town.
Building red window.
Yuan Xi opened his eyes and found Lu Lingqi still lying in his arms. The two of them talked until midnight and fell asleep cuddling together in front of the window without knowing it.
He looked at Lu Lingqi's rosy cheeks, stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of her straight nose, and smiled casually.
A new day begins and a new journey begins.
Although he is busy and running around, he has become a trendsetter in the general trend of the world. No matter what the final result is, he believes that the world will become better and better.
Tian Yu and Gao Shun looked at the mountain road in front of them and saw the endless camps spread out, thinking that they were done.
One south and one north of Heishan were divided between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. The two sides opened up several passages to Bingzhou and built city gates on the dangerous passes as quickly as possible.
In this way, Montenegro is a system of its own and has become a relatively closed barrier. It is difficult for nomads from outside to enter, but people inside can attack at any time.
This move put great pressure on the Southern Huns in Bingzhou. They could no longer rely on cavalry to plunder through Montenegro, but they could station cavalry inside Montenegro to harass the Southern Huns' base camp at any time.
In this way, the Southern Xiongnu had to consider the consequences of becoming enemies with Jizhou, and they would probably send envoys to negotiate in the near future.
This was a strategy that Yuan Xi and Guo Jiajushu had previously made. After capturing Heishan, Youzhou mobilized civilians to build fortifications and smooth roads day and night inside Heishan, with the goal of building Heishan into a huge military fortress.
The only fly in the ointment is that Yuan Shangtian shamelessly copied Yuan Xi's approach and built fortifications and camps in the southern part of Heishan near Wei County.
In this way, if Yuan Xi sends troops south to Huai City in Hanoi in the future, he must carefully consider it. After all, the soldiers and horses are passing through Yuan Shang's territory. Who knows what will happen, what if they are blocked inside?
However, in Yuan Shang's view, the same is true for Yuan Xi. He does not dare to easily walk into Yuan Xi's territory. Now the two of them are disgusted with each other, but there is nothing they can do against each other.
But this is what Yuan Xi wants to see. In addition to Bingzhou, Yuan Shang can only go to Sili to look for opportunities. There will inevitably be a conflict with Cao Cao. Although Yuan Xi suspects collusion between the two, from the perspective of later generations, Yuan Shang's position is at least
Still on the Yuan family's side.
The fundamental interests of Yuan Shang and Cao Cao are in conflict, and they are destined to be unable to cooperate forever. Sooner or later, they will fall out. Yuan Xi took this opportunity to make arrangements in advance to eliminate some hidden dangers.
At the same time, he sent a letter to Tianyu Gaoshun to build the city wall and appease the local area, then returned to Beixin City to train troops. At the same time, he completely pacified Daijun in the north of Zhuojun, and then waited for an opportunity to expand his territory from Yanmen in Bingzhou, and then planned to plot the Hetao Plain.
Gao Shun and Tian Yu are now following Zheng Yuan Xi's instructions, while letting people set up a stronghold, and at the same time letting officials sent from Youzhou lead the local people to cultivate and produce, so as to recover as quickly as possible.
After the battle in Montenegro, Yuan Xi gained a population of hundreds of thousands, but most of them were old people, young women, and children, and there were only tens of thousands of young and strong laborers.
What surprised the local people in Heishan was that Youzhou did not recruit these young men into the army, but instead let them engage in production on the spot.
Yuan Xi knew very well that if he continued to recruit young and strong laborers and neglected farming, the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled would starve to death, so he mobilized grain from Beixin City and let the people of Montenegro rely on themselves first and recover.
This method may pay off a lot in the future, but now it is putting a lot of pressure on Youzhou, and the stored grain is stretched thin, which has made Xu You, who is responsible for the allocation in Beixin City, a headache.
He once wondered if Yuan Xi was deliberately looking for excuses to punish him. Thinking of the other party's behavior, Xu You was trembling all day long, for fear of being pulled out of bed and chopped with a knife in the middle of the night.
In these days of fear, Xu You has become a frightened bird, and is in constant panic. However, today he received a letter from Yuan Shang, and when he opened it, he burst into tears.
Yuan Shang summoned him back to Yecheng and rearranged his official position.
He no longer has to stay in Youzhou!
With tears in his eyes, Xu You quickly took out the sealing ribbon, took it and went to find Chen Gui, the temporary city guard. He put the sealing ribbon in front of Chen Gui, laughed and jumped away, and went straight out of the city, leaving a look on his face.
Confused Chen Gui.
The next day, when Chen Gui learned the whole story, he couldn't help but sigh that the young master is really amazing, look what he has forced others to do!
He picked up the letter from Yuan Xi and had it delivered to Yuan Xi's residence. He was counting the days, fearing that Yuan Xi would return to Beixin City in more than half a month.
Before that, he had to find someone to take up the responsibility that Xu You had left behind, but that was fine. Keeping Xu You in Beixin City was always a hidden danger. Now that the other party had taken the initiative to leave, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Cao Xian lay pitifully in front of the window of the small house behind the door, receiving the people who came to complain about their difficulties, and wrote down their opinions one by one on bamboo slips.
After finally waiting until lunch time, people dispersed. When Cao Xian saw Mrs. Du bringing food from a distance, he stood up and said with a smile: "Sorry to trouble you, Madam."
Madam Du said hurriedly: "Madam, you have worked so hard. There is such a shortage of people in this mansion, why don't you ask the young master for some people?"
Cao Xian sighed: "Don't mention it."
When the two were talking, Chen Gui's letter arrived. Cao Xian opened it and looked at it, and said happily: "Young master is coming back!"
Mrs. Du was shocked. The fierce tiger who was rumored to be very lecherous was coming back?
