Chapter 210 Jumping Down

Jiang Xuening was really puzzled for a while, and as she watched Lv Xian leave with a strange expression, she couldn't help but ponder. She turned her head to look at Xiang Youfang Yin and suddenly asked, "What happened on the way?"

You Fang moaned and shook her head.

Jiang Xuening looked at her and said, "How did you all come the same way?"

You Fangyin glanced at her, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he lowered his gaze slightly and said, "When we first entered the territory of Shanxi, everything was in chaos. The people were still catching some 'soul calling' demons and monks, and even if they had silver in their hands, it was very difficult to raise food and grass, which was much slower than expected. Lv Laoban was supposed to go ahead first, but he turned back halfway to help coordinate. I heard that he was once a jinshi and had entered the Hanlin Academy. Now, some officials in Shanxi Province are his old acquaintances, and with his face, he can also help. That's why we came together."

That's quite true.

Lv Zhaoyin's contribution is not significant, and his usefulness is not extensive. Xie Ju'an cannot look up to him, and it is impossible for him to directly sit in the position of Minister of Revenue after completing his previous life.

There are many people outside the city with mixed eyes, making it inconvenient to speak.

Jiang Xuening didn't delve any further. Seeing that You Fangyin had safely arrived, she felt much relieved.

The preparations for the war are becoming increasingly intense.

She asked herself that she didn't have much strategic ability. It was just that she had accumulated a lot of capital in the past two years, but before coming to Xinzhou, almost all of it had been handed over to Xie Wei. Nowadays, there are a lot of smart people in this city, and she felt that she couldn't help too much. It would be best not to cause trouble.

So after watching them busy for a while, I went back.

Xie Wei stayed outside the city for a longer time, waiting until Yan Lin came from the garrison and arranged for the follow-up of a supply of food and supplies, as well as for Lv Xian's personnel to take over the accounts of the army, before returning to the General's Mansion.

In the evening, a simple dusting banquet was held.

During the banquet, Lv Xian coldly scrutinized the situation at the border, drank several glasses, and after finishing, he walked out of the hall with Xie Wei. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "For smart people, there really is no useless idle pen. Even a bad move can be turned into a vicious plan by you. It's me, Lv, who has shallow eyelids. I thought you were really foolish and couldn't be saved. Unexpectedly, you went crazy and sick, and you didn't miss the big picture."

Xie Wei said, "What are you talking nonsense about again?"

Lv Xian snorted without explaining.

He spoke vaguely, but he didn't believe Xie Wei couldn't understand.

Shen Zhiyi, the Princess of Leyang who came from a thousand miles to this border to save some laborer, was originally a bad move and could hardly find any benefits.

Lv Xian has no doubt——

If there were no such person as Jiang Xuening in the world, Xie Wei would not have made such a foolish decision.

However, there is one.

Just choosing this path does not mean he has given up his original plan.

Who said you can't have both fish and bear's paw?

From Jinling to Xinzhou, Xie Ju'an did three things: first, spreading the news that Shen Zhiyi, who was originally a top secret, was trapped in the Tatars, causing criticism from the people, and even the soldiers in the army knew it clearly; Secondly, the imperial edict sent Yan Lin to the border, and a fake imperial edict allowed Yan Lin to seize military power; Thirdly, he resorted to his own tactics and obtained a true imperial decree due to Yan Lin's departure from the exiled Huangzhou. He came to the border to oversee the army, not only supporting Yan Lin, but also stabilizing his military morale and accelerating the plan to attack the Tatars.

If the final outcome is achieved, once Xie Ju'an gains the hearts of the people, it will lead the court into a land of injustice; The second general firmly held the military power in his hands, and Yan Lin issued an edict to launch an attack on the Tatars. Whether he knew it or not, it was a major crime of deceiving the emperor and plotting rebellion in name. When he stretched out his head and shrunk his head, everyone was bound to a ship, and it was highly likely that he would go all out to follow them in rebellion; If there is a war at the Three Frontiers, the Central Plains Heavenly Sect will surely take advantage of this opportunity to rise up. At that time, the imperial court will face internal and external troubles, and it will be difficult not to collapse!

"Snipes and clams compete. You, the fisherman, sit firmly at the border and make a good name and profit. When they are exhausted, you can use your troops to attack the Central Plains and break through the capital, and the overall situation will be settled. However..."

Lv Xian couldn't help but look at him.

"There's nothing wrong with such a big plan, but it doesn't please the girl's family."

Xie Wei listened but remained silent.

L ü Xian realized that he hadn't figured it out yet. It's possible that Xie Ju'an knew better than he did. His words may not have been shameful and embarrassing, so he closed his mouth and said goodbye when he got to the fork in the courtyard.

The General's Mansion occupies a considerable area.

He lived in the west, so he followed the corridor all the way.

However, when we reached the front of the courtyard, we could hear faint conversations.

"The border is not peaceful either. I think you shouldn't stay here for too long. No matter how the war unfolds, you won't be able to go to Jiangnan. Just listen to me. After this journey, go back to Jiangnan or Sichuan. There will always be Lv Zhaoyin involved in the situation here. He is Xie Wei's person, and it's his responsibility to work hard and work hard. Don't get involved."

"What about the girl?"

"Me? When Your Highness is rescued from the Tatars, I will naturally leave my feet oily and lazy to get involved in their mess."

This is the voice of Jiang Xuening and You Fangyin.

L ü Xian listened and even mentioned himself, feeling uneasy in his heart. He should have been in the dark, waiting for these two people to finish speaking before walking out, so as not to embarrass everyone. An inexplicable surge of anger surged up, but he refused.

So I took two steps forward.

Jiang Xuening turned her back to him, while You Fangyin was facing him directly and saw it at a glance.

Lv Xian said, "Miss Ning Er is absolutely right. It's time for me to work hard and sell my life."

Jiang Xuening only saw him now.

But when I thought about what I said, there was nothing shameful about it. On the contrary, seeing Lv Xian reminded her of some things during the day, I didn't pay any attention to him for now. Instead, I said to You Fangyin, "You go back to the house first. I have something to talk to Mr. Lv."

You Fangyin looked at Lv Xian with one eye, seeming to hesitate for a moment, but still listened to Jiang Xuening's words, nodded, and turned to leave.

Only Jiang Xuening remained in place to scrutinize Lv Xian.

L ü Xian's gaze withdrew from the back of You Fangyin's departure, but he smiled at Jiang Xuening and said, "What advice do you have, Miss Er?"

"I dare not take my advice seriously."

Jiang Xuening also smiled and walked around him with interest for two and a half circles, shaking her head while looking at him, with a hint of schadenfreude and ridicule.

"Since ancient times, unscrupulous merchants have always had a good plan. Why does Mr. Lv look like he lost his army without earning his wife?"

L ü Xian's face changed.

Jiang Xuening, however, walked with her hands behind her back. The more she pondered about Lv Xian's reaction, the more interesting it became. After a while, she stopped and approached him. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you interested in our family's fangyin?"

Lv Xian sneered coldly and said, "Are you joking?"

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows.

L ü Xian coldly added, "A married woman! L ü has not yet done that."

As soon as he said these words, Jiang Xuening's originally relaxed expression disappeared. The calm and transparent light hidden under his eyes only said, "You know, it wasn't easy for Fang Yin and Young Master Ren to come all the way. Seeing them getting along well, I think a shrewd person like Mr. Lv can naturally weigh the weight, so don't step in."

Lv Xian sneered, "Do fake couples also count?"

Now it's Jiang Xuening's turn to be surprised, he actually knows?

Lv Xian was too lazy to explain anything.

He brushes his sleeves and wants to leave.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xuening stared at him, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration and laughed, "Hey, is it because Fangyin cares more about me and you're jealous?"

She saw Lv Xian's footsteps stop, and her whole body seemed to be tense with this sentence from her.

However, whether he could bear it or not, he did not turn around.

He seemed to be trying to prove that he didn't care, without even looking back, and went straight to the hospital.

Jiang Xuening was behind, patting her palms and laughing, almost bending over with a smile.

In the previous life, I was jealous of her a lot, but she didn't care.

After all, those are all women.

But in this life, even men are jealous of her, it's so fun!

However, Fang Yin had a sincere mind and recognized that people are one track. Although she didn't know where she and Ren Weizhi had gone, if someone as malicious as Lv Xian were to cause trouble in secret, good things could turn into bad things.

We need to guard against him from now on.

It's not that Fang Yin has to be determined. It's all about her happiness, but Jiang Xuening just doesn't want her to be unhappy.

At that moment, she even wanted to go to Xie Wei's place and give Lv Xian some eye drops.

But this idea was only given up in a flash.

Xie Ju'an is someone who wants to achieve great things, but she only wants some simple little days. Now, listening humbly, not bothering him, and following his heart, it's ultimately for Shen Zhiyi's sake, not wanting to tear his face. But now it's almost the limit of the line. If she doesn't know how to move forward or backward, pushing down this line herself is like getting stuck in it. It's current affairs, and I'm afraid I can't even escape from Xie Wei's hands.

Anyway, being jealous by a man makes Jiang Xuening quite happy.

I just lay down at night and had a nightmare.

This nightmare lasted for several nights.

She dreamed that she was standing on a high cliff, which was steep and almost straight, and even withered pine trees could not take any roots on the rock wall.

The abyss lies ahead.

Just looking ahead, there was a dark expanse of ink with no visible fingers.

There is a strong wind below the abyss, as if coming from a ghost, howling incessantly.

She wanted to look inside, but couldn't stand steadily. A few pieces of gravel fell off the cliff from her feet and fell into the abyss for a long time without hearing any echo.

So a fear grabbed her.

As if afraid that some monster would emerge from the abyss and devour people, she lifted a step and was about to retreat behind, wanting to stay far away from the abyss.

However, one hand extended from behind and pressed onto her shoulder, while the other hand rested on her waist.

The person's breath poured out in her ear, pressing against her cheek.

Xie Wei cut off her retreat and whispered in her ear, "It's so deep. How do you know if you're alive or dead if you don't jump down?"

No——

That force was transmitted from his hands and suddenly pushed her into the abyss ahead!

She screamed in an instant.

The abyss rushed towards her, enveloped in a sense of weightlessness, and all her fears were amplified to the limit, causing her to burst out in a cold sweat and wake up from this repeated dream once again.

What echoed in my ears was not the words from my dream, but a mocking sentence from Xie Wei not long ago: "If you could understand why you and he couldn't be together, then you wouldn't be called Jiang Xuening, and you wouldn't be sitting here today."

Jiang Xuening was as if she had been pulled out of the water.

She covered her face with some detachment.

After a while, the deep-seated fear was slowly driven away.

Darkness is like threads, soaking into the room with a slight chill.

The corner of the gauze curtain by the bed was blown open by the wind.

A small amount of light penetrated through the window paper, vaguely reflecting the figure sitting by her bed.

His serene voice seemed to merge with the darkness, ethereal as mist: "Did you dream of me?"

Jiang Xuening was taken aback!

She listened to the familiar voice, put down her palm, and carefully discerned the figure from the darkness. For a moment, she felt that even her heart was being grabbed, so scared that she couldn't speak.

Xie Wei didn't know when he came and only stared at her, still asking, "Did you dream of me?"

The nightmare just now still left a trace of lingering palpitations.

Jiang Xuening couldn't believe that this person was sitting by his bed in the middle of the night and said, "Xie Ju'an, why are you..."

Xie Wei's palm lightly caressed her cheek and rested it on the tip of her eyebrows, saying, "Ning Er, Shen Zhiyi is a member of the royal family who dies. What does it have to do with me? I regret it a bit."

That finger has a hint of coolness.

Jiang Xuening suddenly shuddered.

But he didn't say anything more. After a long time, he slowly withdrew his hand, got up, and walked out.

The wind blew in and the gauze tent swayed gently.

The cold moon outside is like silver frost.

A deep and majestic horn came from afar, spreading throughout the fields, adding a touch of solemn roar to this quiet cold night!

Jiang Xuening hugged the brocade quilt, only then did she remember——

Tonight, war broke out.
