Chapter 41 Opposite
Meeting by accident, the smell of vinegar wafts through the air.
"Second brother can't drink well? It's okay, then I'll treat you to dinner."
The two walked to the front of the unknown house, Xu Shuangtan handed back the vegetable basket to Xu Muzhou, and didn't stay for long, and walked towards Xu's house with her maid.
Xu Muzhou met Xu Shuangtan on the way to the newly joined chain store to collect bills.
The most beloved son in the family is gone, so the younger sister can only take care of the business left behind by the older brother.
It is said that it is a business, but it is actually a mess, especially Xu Xuanyang's reputation has been ruined. He cut off contacts when he was good before, and worse when he was not good.
Because of his son, Xu Huan is afraid to go out now, for fear of being stabbed in the back.
Xu Shuangtan was brought up in the hands of his parents. When Xu Huan taught her, he put in as much effort as he did for Xu Xuanyang.
Therefore, the little girl has learned several skills in doing business.Today I went to the old shop to collect rent, but those merchants pretended to dislike Xu Xuanyang and refused to pay the money.
Xu Shuangtan tried to make sense of it, but was forcefully interrupted by those bastards, and was almost kicked out of the house.Fortunately, I met Xu Muzhou across the street.
Xu Muzhou rescued the person, only to find out that this was actually his half-sister.The family used to call her "Shuang'er", and Xu Muzhou used to call her that.
Sister Shuangtan was also a person who sincerely treated Xu Muzhou well when she was a child.But because of Xu Xuanyang's relationship, Xu Muzhou was more or less wary of Xu Shuangtan.
However, this younger sister's temperament is not much different from his impression.
After a few words, talking with the younger sister, Xu Muzhou didn't feel the faint discomfort of reuniting with Xu Xuanyang after a long absence.
..Does this mean that even if they are born from the same mother's womb, the younger sister and the older brother are not necessarily the same kind of people..?
However, Xu Muzhou didn't have the extravagant time to think about this, and Jin Qiansui arranged another thing for him, five days later, he was going to go to Fushan Mountain in the northwest.
The distance is not far, starting from the capital, it takes only two days to travel by horse-drawn carriage.I just heard that bandits are infested in that place now, and I don't know exactly what Jin Yuxian wants him to do.
In fact, since the last time I met Jin Qiansui, Xu Muzhou was filled with a tense sense of crisis, as if... he was caught in a chess trap carefully set up by someone.
And it got deeper and deeper.
Now, he can only obediently cling to Jin Qiansui, and he will do what others ask him to do seriously.Those who know the current affairs are heroes, so at least they can save their lives for a short time.
It's just that Xu Muzhou sees that Jin Yuxian is dangerous, his little life can be saved for a while, but maybe not for the rest of his life.
Thinking about it carefully, this year he might be guilty of Tai Sui, not to mention being dumped by his "wife" who is about to get married, and dragged into the difficult life and death field in the capital city where the weak prey on the strong.
You can only take one step at a time.Xu Muzhou was thinking desperately.
This time he went to Fushan Mountain in the northwest, he planned to also accompany Pei Yunchu.Ah Yuan thought that someone had to look after the house, so she said that the young master and Mr. Pei were on the road together, and she stayed at home by herself.
Xu Muzhou knocked him on the head: "You idiots, both of you will come with me."
Both Ah Yuan and Pei Yunchu were a bit confused by Xu Muzhou's decision, because usually, Pei Yunchu would be the one who stayed at home rather than going out.
Xu Muzhou suddenly asked both of them to go with him, which is really abnormal.But when I asked him, he didn't say anything clearly, and he didn't know what he was hiding.
After five days in a flash, Xu Muzhou took two people around him, followed Dongchang Hou Yuran's convoy, and marched step by step to the territory of Fushan Mountain.
Xu Muzhou never thought that he would meet Shen Yi here!
Inside is the territory occupied by bandits. People from outside dare not enter easily, and only camp in the surrounding mountains.Who knew, just opposite the Dongshan where Xu Muzhou and the others settled down, was the Xishan where the regent led his people to set up camp.
There is only a mountain stream between the two mountains, and you can cross to the opposite side with a light stride.
So it is very clear.Xu Muzhou clearly saw Shen Yi standing on the flat ground on the opposite hill, and his stomach was already drooping obviously.
The soldiers around Shen Yi probably also thought about his hard pregnancy, and temporarily built a wooden chair for him to rest.
"You see, the other side is comfortable. There are only two mountain tops in the east and west where you can temporarily settle down around Fushan Mountain." Hou Yuran found Xu Muzhou looking at him from the corner of his eyes, so he started a conversation with him:
"The regent arrived one step ahead of us, so the west end was taken by them."
Jin Qiansui asked Xu Muzhou to come to Fushan, he didn't say what he was going to do, but sent Hou Changgong to go with him.It is said to be an escort, but in fact it is nothing more than surveillance.
Xu Muzhou looked away, didn't accept Hou Yuran's words, just turned around and went to the mountain stream to fetch water with Pei Yunchu.When he turned his back, he recalled the scene just now.
——Shen Yi has such a big belly, what is he doing here?Although the hills on the two sides are not high, considering Shen Yi's current body, it is not difficult.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood, even though Xu Muzhou laughed in his heart that he was meddling in his own business, he couldn't help but worry.
It's just that his extra "suspension" is worthless in the eyes of the regent.However, the two hills are far away from each other, and he glanced at it just now, and his heart is a little confused.
But what about others?I'm afraid it will only be an eyesore.
But this time Xu Muzhou was wrong. Shen Yi even saw Xu Muzhou before he glanced at him.
The Shen family army came early, this time they were ordered to deal with the banditry in Fushan.To be precise, it is not "following orders", the decree issued by the little emperor, which means that whoever can successfully control the banditry is a great achievement.
The area in the northwest, headed by Mt. Fu, can be regarded as the most special area in Fengguo.It borders Beiyan in the north and Xiliang in the west.
However, due to the rugged and steep terrain and the miasma, since the founding of Fengguo, no troops have been stationed or managed.
Over time, it became a deserted frontier.
However, I don't know when, bandits and rogues all favored this land by coincidence. They gathered here, divided the land and ruled it, and it turned out to be a happy place free from the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Bandits and bandits gathered more and more, burning, killing and looting became more and more unscrupulous. At this time, the imperial court reacted and wanted to take care of it, but it was a bit late.
Shen Yi is here to solve this problem.
But Shen Jiajun had just settled down, and Shen Yi hadn't made any arrangements yet, but he saw Xu Muzhou on the opposite side first, and a turbulent wave immediately set off in his heart.
But he is the leader of the army, the backbone of the Shen family army, and he cannot let anyone see the turmoil in his heart.
So Shen Yi turned his head and stopped looking at the opposite side.
"Why are people from Dongchang here?" Si Heng recognized Hou Changgong at a glance, "It's bad luck. Isn't Jin Qiansui the one who mentioned the banditry in Fushan to His Majesty?"
"Using the civil and military pressure of the Manchu Dynasty, you forced Zhuang Bai to come here to rectify it yourself. Well, you brought the Shen family army here, and why did he send the people from Dongchang over?"
"Aren't they pure disgusting people!" Si Heng really hated Jin Qiansui and his eunuchs.
This time, Shen Yi, who was eight months pregnant, would never have been able to take care of it.
But Jin Qiansui is capable of motivating the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the banditry in the northwest has become so chaotic that it cannot be cured.
He also said that the heavy troops in General Hu's hands should be used for national defense and should not be lightly adjusted.
Is it not clear that the implication is that Shen Yi should take care of it?After all, only Shen Yi and General Hu are in charge of the army in Fengguo.
But Shen Yiren has already arrived, and Jin Yuxian brought people from Dongchang here again, what is his intention?You can't be afraid that the regent will be lazy and come here to supervise, right?
"This time the banditry in Fushan was rectified under the name of "struggling to be the first".His Majesty did not order anyone to do it. " Shen Yi is also well aware of the old man's thoughts:
"This is where Jin Yuxian is brilliant. He forced me to bring troops here first, but he didn't intend to give me the credit for the "governance". "
"If his people figured out a way to deal with the bandits before me, wouldn't he be taking advantage of it, not only gaining merit, but also giving the courtiers more reason to say that my Shen family army is not good at doing things."
Shen Jinghe wrote and drew on the side. Since Shen Yi took over the order from the young emperor, he has also read a lot of bibliographies and picture volumes about the Northwest, as well as strategies for ordering troops.
Try to think of a good way to rectify it, and relieve my cousin's worries.
So upon hearing this, Jing He raised his head unhappily and said, "Cousin, don't worry, how could their people come up with a solution before us?"
"Even if there is a way, what the eunuch thinks may not be better than us."
Shen Yi gave a short smile and nodded.
He agrees with Jing He's words, can those eunuchs from Dongchang be used as a hammer?But on the other side of the mountain, there are not only "eunuchs".
Thinking of this, Shen Yi inadvertently looked for Xu Muzhou's figure, but he didn't see anyone on the opposite mountain, his eyes turned around, and finally saw Xu Muzhou in the mountain stream between the two mountains.
He and Pei Yunchu went to the mountain stream to fetch water, and they had reached the deepest point, but the stone surface soaked in water all year round was wet and slippery, with moss growing on it.
Pei Yunchu didn't step on it firmly and almost fell into the ravine.Fortunately Xu Muzhou pulled him in time, Pei Yunchu fell backwards and leaned into Xu Muzhou's arms.
But it was only for a moment, Pei Yunchu immediately bounced away, turned around and straightened his clothes which were soaked in a lot, his face was flushed.He didn't dare to let Xu Muzhou see it, so he asked people to leave him alone and fetch water first.
Xu Muzhou raised his head to look at today's weather, and thought that he didn't bring a change of clothes, so he gently instructed: "Dry your clothes, don't catch a cold."
Although it was ordinary care, in Shen Yi's eyes, it made his heart full of sourness.Shen Yi clenched his hands unconsciously.
When he was in Xu Zhai, he knew that Mr. Pei's affection for Xu Muzhou was extraordinary.It's really strange, it's clearly just a hug, but compared to the girl I saw that day, Shen Yi was even more shocked.
