Chapter 47:

-Xuede Seventeen Years King Capital Xiangcheng Xuefu-
Xue Ziqin returned to Xiangcheng. The remaining four hundred people under his hand were stationed outside Xiangcheng. Only Zhou Xiao lived with him in Xuefu. The two returned to the house without seeing Xue Changfeng. First, they fell asleep and fell asleep for three days.
On the third day, Xue Changfeng had Zhang Guanjia wake up the two early and took him to the lobby to kneel.
Xue Ziqin was so confused that he hadn't gotten out of bed except for the convenience of going for three days. Suddenly, Zhang Guanjia was taken to the lobby. The old man was sitting in the upper place drinking tea. When he saw him, he knelt coldly.
He has followed Xue Changfeng for so many years, and has developed a habit of absolute obedience to Xue Changfeng's words. Hearing the word "kneel down", he fell to his knees and hit his knees. He knelt down for a while, and Zhou Xiao was also confused. Zhou Xiao understood Xue Changfeng's temper even more. He only saw Xue Ziqin kneeling on the ground, and waited for Xue Changfeng to speak. He knelt down beside Xue Changfeng and bowed his head. Waiting for delivery.
Kneeling for a long time, Xue Changfeng just tasted the tea slowly, sipped in a small bite, until the tea reached the bottom, he put on the table fiercely, made a crunch, and finally opened the mouth: "I thought you two now Is it true that the bird is flying, do you know to come back? "
Zhou Xiao didn't dare to speak, but Xue Ziqin retorted: "Father, I can't blame me for this matter, obviously the old dog in Wei Yuanting is doing things ..." "Shut up." Xue Changfeng waited for him to finish, a tea cup fell Xue Ziqin's leg was smashed.
He stood up from his chair and walked in front of Xue Ziqin, angrily asked: "Who made you bring someone to Qinguan without permission?"
"..." Xue Ziqin didn't dare to speak this time, just lowered his head.
Xue Changfeng turned to Zhou Xiao and said, "You are the same now, you don't have a brain to do things? Are you going to mess with him with elite soldiers, is this lieutenant also tired?"
Zhou Xiao was a rule, and immediately knelt down and knelt his head: "The end will be guilty, please ask the general to punish the crime."
Zhou Xiao said that it was Xue Changfeng's lieutenant under his hands, but he followed Xue Changfeng from childhood, more like his adopted son, and Xue Ziqin were like brothers and brothers. But his character is far from the Xue family's father and son. He is steady and strict with himself. Because of this, Xue Changfeng takes him very seriously.
Xue Changfeng heard Zhou Xiao's confession, snorted, and spoke towards Zhang Guanjia: "Take a stick."
Zhang Guanjia glanced at Xue Ziqin, a little unbearable, but he knew the general's temper, and he could only turn around to get the stick.
Xue Changfeng paced back and forth in the lobby without speaking. Knowing that he was going to be beaten in a while, Xue Ziqin said in disappointment: "Your father knows that the old thief is doing things. How can I blame me for bringing my own soldiers to support it? The father-in-law must be fully responsible. This time, it ’s impossible for Qinguan ’s lost pot to blame me. I do n’t carry this pot, and I do n’t say anything about it. Anyway, I do n’t understand. The army came to support Qin Guan. Isn't this a plan to win Wei Yuanting? "
Xue Changfeng heard Xue Ziqin's words filled with indignation, and even wanted to laugh: "I really didn't expect to train you for so many years, you can't understand this little thing."
Butler Zhang has come over with a stick.
Originally Xue Changfeng planned to let Zhang Guanjia do it, which was considered to be a side of the two subnets, but now Xue Ziqin has argued a bit, and it is fueling the fire. He took the stick in Zhang Guanjia's hand and walked to Xue Ziqin's side. On Xue Ziqin's back.
Xue Ziqin was originally an extremely stubborn person. He thought he was right, but he didn't hum, and he gritted his teeth to resist the stick.
Xue Changfeng hit the Zi Ziqin with three sticks in a row.
Xue Ziqin was still dissatisfied, and continued: "Regarding the Battle of Hanzhou, I asked my uncle for the meaning. Didn't the uncle tell me to come casually?"
This was really annoying to Xue Changfeng. As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Changfeng went down again and reprimanded: "Hanzhou, I thought you were bound to get it. The result? If someone is counted dead, do n’t think I do n’t. You know, you ca n’t even get into Hanzhou City. Are you still talking? "
Zhou Xiao was really nervous on the side. He heard Xue Ziqin talking and knew that this person was obviously looking for a fight. At this moment, he was afraid that Xue Changfeng would still kneel here, otherwise he would definitely be beaten to death.
But the more you do n’t want anything, the more you will happen. Xue Changfeng glanced aside and called out: "Zhou Xiao, you come and tell this stupid thing what he did wrong."
Zhou Xiao tremblingly raised his head-he was ignorant before, and he was not beaten under Xue Changfeng's hands very much. Xue Changfeng's hand was really unambiguous, completely inappropriate as his own, and he would not stay a little affectionate. After thinking for a while, he calmed down and said: "I am afraid that the Sui Kingdom has already received intelligence. Our country intends to attack Hanzhou. We have already installed the details for a long time and calculated the plan. Simply let Ziqin take the initiative to attack them, and then use this as a name. Attacking Qinguan, he was able to win Qinguan's abacus without losing Hanzhou, as can be seen from Ziqin's spy, but they certainly did not expect Ziqin to really occupy the city. In fact, Ziqin won Qinguan this time, and he won the game anyway. "
After Zhou Xiao finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head and waited for the departure.
Xue Changfeng walked slowly to Zhou Xiao, as expected, and as Zhou Xiao expected, a stick hit the backbone of his spine. The pain caused him to sweat all of a sudden, but he said loudly, "It will be guilty at the end!"
Hearing the risk of being beaten, Zhou Xiao also had to help himself to speak. Xue Ziqin couldn't help but praise the good brother, and then felt that Xue Changfeng's stick fell on himself again.
Xue Changfeng beat the two hard, and then tossed the stick on the ground, then sat back to the upper position. The housekeeper Zhang served a cup of hot tea at the right time, Xue Changfeng took a sip, and the warm tea was accompanied by the fragrance of tea, which really made Xue Changfeng's anger go down a bit. Under the hall, the two big men were beaten upright, and they dared not to lie down on the ground, lest they would be beaten again. The forehead was full of bean-sized sweat beads, and they kept falling.
"Zhou Xiao, I think you either have to resign from the Northern Army and follow this bullshit." Xue Changfeng said, "I haven't listened to my words now, you really are capable."
Zhou Xiao didn't dare to talk more, just because he was more wrong.
"There are also you, bastards. If you didn't save Qinguan this time, and the Hanzhou City was taken back, do you know how much responsibility you have to bear? Knowing that Wei Yuanting is calculating me, are you still rushing forward, right? Really want the emperor to cut your head? "
Having said that, Xue Changfeng took a sip of tea and slowed down. This fight also hit, the lesson learned, he began to talk about the right thing.
"The day before yesterday, Sui Guoyi's peace envoy came. Do you know what the conditions were for taking the captive soldiers under your hand? Hmm? Let the court compensate Baiyin for two hundred and twenty!"
"This ... this is not a sky-high asking price!" Xue Ziqin couldn't say what he said, "This is not acceptable, absolutely not."
Xue Changfeng immediately screamed: "You also know that it will not work, then you dare to take someone to Qinguan without permission, leaving Hanzhou into such a mess!"
This angry anger scared Xue Ziqin's head down again.
Xue Changfeng went on to say, "The emperor's face turned blue when he heard these words yesterday. How did he refuse?"
"..." Xue Ziqin knew that this was indeed his responsibility, even if he didn't raise his head or open his mouth.
He cares about this group of people stationed in Hanzhou. That's all his people. When he was a captive, he naturally wanted to save him. Then there was his lieutenant general. But two hundred and twenty silver exchanged for 600 soldiers, of which there is no general, and this kind of trading is impossible. The situation in Qinguan that day, not to mention that they were all exhausted, that is, Wei Yuanting's faction took over Qinguan and brought him back directly to Wangdu, and he could not act without authorization.
The emperor was even more helpless about this kind of thing. The other party clearly stated that there were captives in hand and demanded real money to redeem the people. Such abductions, but it was because he declared that the country had carried out the aggression first, making people unable to refute. If you do n’t give the silver, you do n’t care about the lives of these soldiers. If you pass it, it will be a loss of popular sentiment. The other party is also unpredictable. The emperor Xuanguo could n’t refuse. Silver redeems people.
"Fortunately, you still have a bit of brains, and the people under you are also well trained." Xue Changfeng's remarks turned slightly, and there was a little compliment between the words, only to hear him go on, "Just in Chaotang, in the presence of Sui In the face of the envoy, Yanzhou came to report that all the prisoners in Hanzhou had fled and arrived in Yanzhou. In front of Wei Yuanting, you know that you ca n’t go, call your men to go, this is okay, it ’s a general, otherwise you see See what you do! "
Xue Ziqin heard the words and looked up in amazement.
He turned to look at Zhou Xiao, who was also at a loss.
What the old man said ... That Jiang really rescued people alone? This is too bizarre. Not to mention that he has been traveling alone for such a long time, and he has the ability to save people. The fact that the Hanzhou City is definitely guarded by heavy soldiers can still escape. The twists and turns can be imagined.
But now, it is clear that the old man thought he had sent him. Of course, Xue Ziqin would not say that this was not what he meant. If he could please him in front of the old man, he would definitely not refuse.
Thinking about it this way, Xue Ziqin looked up and said, "So ... is it worth the credit?"
"Humph."
Xue Changfeng didn't answer him, instead he picked up the teacup and took another sip. After drinking this sip of tea, he began to count Zhou Xiao up: "Zhou Xiao, I think you have a good relationship with this bastard, and you are allowed to visit Hanzhou. You and he took people to Qinguan without permission, ignoring my orders It ’s not a death sentence, do n’t you know?

Zhou Xiao knew that there was no possibility of excuse for this matter. Anyway, things were done, and he could only apologize for admitting mistakes: "Last will know the mistakes ... hope that the generals will open up ..."
Xue Ziqin looked at the situation and thought that he would be beaten as well. The old man would never be able to hang both and kill him? So he dared and said, "I forced him, hey, hit me ..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ziqin regretted it. He doesn't know the temper of the old man, why should he owe more words? Sure enough, Xue Changfeng heard this, his face was even uglier, and he said: "Zhang Guanjia, kill this bastard."
"General, it's not good to fight again." Zhang Guanjia bowed his waist, discouraging carefully.
Xue Changfeng beat the table fiercely: "I tell you to call me!"
But helplessly, Housekeeper Zhang could only pick up the stick on the ground and start playing Xue Ziqin again.
The regret in Xue Ziqin's heart, he wished to sew his mouth. Zhang Guanjia also watched Xue Ziqin grow up. He couldn't get rid of his fierce hands and quietly drained the water, but Xue Ziqin was beaten so heavily by Xue Changfeng on his back. Don't say it was a light hit at this moment, it was terribly painful to touch.
He also understood that he had done something wrong. At this time, Xue Ziqin had nothing to refute, and finally served softly: "Oh, don't fight, don't fight, my father, I'm wrong! Don't fight!"
Xue Changfeng heard him admit his mistake, and finally felt a little better in his heart. He waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Guanjia to stop.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Guanjia hurriedly stopped and took a stick and walked away. I was afraid that Xue Changfeng would see the stick again and wanted to fight again. Xue Ziqin was estimated to be disabled.
"The Emperor summoned you tomorrow, and you will follow me to the palace tomorrow." Xue Changfeng said, "Zhou Xiao, your lieutenant, don't take the post first, demote and become the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Northern Army."
"General Xie." Zhou Xiao felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't tell. He could only obey the head and thank Xue Changfeng for not killing him.
After talking, Xue Changfeng got up, flicked his sleeve, and left.
Xue Ziqin quietly watched the old man go to nowhere before slowly standing up.
"I'm vomiting blood, the old man is really ruthless." He said, both legs numb, the whole back hurt fiercely. If it was n’t Zhang butler ’s hands but the old man, the sticks would have to be interrupted.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Guanjia hurried up to support Xue Ziqin: "Why do you provoke the general?"
"I ... alas." Xue Ziqin wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, and finally shook his head with a sigh and asked about other things: "The old man said just now, all the captives are in Yanzhou?"
"Yeah, I heard the news yesterday too." Zhang Guanjia said, and went to help Zhou Xiao again.
Xue Ziqin thought about it and said, "Then trouble you to help me go to the suburbs, let Guo Linchong go to Yanzhou to pick them up."
"It's easy to say, I'll go in a while, you two are lying in the first-floor room, and I will go to the doctor immediately."
Xue Ziqin nodded and walked into the room with Zhou Xiao: "Sorry, brother ..."
