At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Xie Yuheng shook his head slightly and said, "I was dreaming just now."

Looking at the fat red seal like his in the second brother's hand. "Is the second brother giving it to me? Yu Heng has thanked the second brother first."

Xie Mingcheng touched his nose embarrassedly and handed the red envelope to Xiao Yuheng. Inside was his entire net worth, which was only two hundred cents. I heard from my eldest brother that the red envelope meant good luck.

He wants to give all his good luck to brother Yu Heng. With good luck, brother Yu Heng will not look sick!

After Xie Mingcheng left, Xie Yuheng held the heavy red envelope and suddenly understood why his ancestor never regretted it.

.....

In the fourth year of Jingyuan, it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

King Huai personally led an army of 500,000 people and marched from Xun County to Jingzhou.

After capturing Nanyang County, the troops divided into two groups. Along the way, General Ji Qinglin continued to attack Jiangxia County eastward, while Huai Wang Chu Heng sent his army south to attack Nanjun.

In April of the same year, Emperor Chu Tianchen of the Liang Dynasty, who was far away in Jizhou, ordered 300,000 Jingzhou troops to retreat to Wusheng Pass at the junction of Jingzhou and Yuzhou.

Ninety percent of the soldiers were natives of Jingzhou, and the Dog Emperor wanted them to abandon their homeland and retreat to the gates of Yuzhou. To prevent King Huai from attacking Yuzhou later.

For a time, the people in the army were panicked, and many people fled halfway. Emperor Liang was about to abandon Jingzhou anyway. The emperor is unkind, so don't blame the ministers for being unjust.

King Huai's army seemed to be in an uninhabited territory, and it was as strong as a broken bamboo.

May, Gangneung. The green mountains are far away, and the water near the water contains smoke.

King Huai's army was stationed ten miles outside Jiangling City.

Chen Qiu stood behind Chu Heng and informed his prince of the news just handed over by the people below. "This Jiangling County Magistrate Liu Yong is interesting. He clearly doesn't want to fight, but he still pretends to live and die with Jiangling."

Chu Heng looked at the closed gates of Jiangling City in the distance and said in a deep voice: "The youngest son of Wai Lang, a member of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, if he wants to surrender, he has to see whether my ninth uncle can spare the lives of his parents."

Chen Qiu lowered his head and looked at the tips of his shoes. Whether Liu Yong surrenders or not will not change the fate of his wife, who has been a member of the fifth rank since she was a child. The news of the destruction of Jiangling City was delivered to Jizhou, just when Liu Yong's parents were dead.

Chu Heng obviously thought of it and pinched his eyebrows. I have been dealing with government affairs all night recently, and I feel a little tired.

As a considerate attendant, Chen Qiu suggested going to the nearby Qinghe Village to relax.

Harmony said: "I heard that the child prodigy of the Xie family in Qinghe, Jiangling, was born with a jade in his hand. He could speak fluently at the age of one, and now he can read and write when he is only half a year old."

Chu Heng's eyes lit up. Jiaozhou's literary style was withering, and there were not many good colleges. As a result, there were not many civil servants available to him, and many positions were filled in Yizhou.

Who knows, he felt like he was going to grow old with worry.

"Go get the horse."

.....

Qinghe Village, village head. King Huai and his attendants dismounted here, and a group of people rode into the village, frightening the villagers.

Chen Qiu saw a young old man in front of him and shouted from behind: "Old man, do you know where the prodigy of the Xie family lives?"

Unexpectedly, the man continued to walk forward as if he had not heard her. Chen Qiu looked at the private clothes he was wearing and did not carry a sword. He was about to step forward and pat the old man on the shoulder, but was stopped by Chu Heng.

Chu Heng looked at the old man's gray hair and said, "As the old man gets older, his ears don't work very well. Let's ask someone else."

Patriarch Xie kept walking as he listened to the voices behind him. His ears are not very clear, but he is not deaf!

As soon as he arrived, he asked about the Xie family's treasure, and he was definitely not a good person. He had to go to the Xie family first to report the news.

Chen Qiu looked at the old man's obviously faster pace and looked at his prince with a dumbfounded look.

Chu Heng had a gentle smile on his face. He thought that the old man knew the child prodigy, maybe he was an elder in the family, so his love and care for him was quite touching.

In contrast, Uncle Ninth is also an elder. Tsk tsk tsk, there is really a sky and an underground. Of course Chu Tianchen is underground.

Here, as soon as Wang Ermazi was about to go out, he saw two unknown people standing in front of his door. There was also a group of guards with swords not far away. At first glance, they were no ordinary people.

Wang Ermazi didn't want to take a step back and was about to close the door.

After all, Chen Qiu was from the military. He quickly blocked the door with half his body, put on what he thought was an amiable smile, and said to Wang Ermazi: "Brother, I want to ask something."

Wang Ermazi had never seen anyone more shameless than him. He was about to close his shop and made it clear that he didn't want to interact with them. Why did he still act like this?

Chen Qiu handed over a few taels of silver, which looked quite large, probably around five or six taels.

Wang Ermazi's eyes lit up, he happily took it and opened the door a little more. He said enthusiastically: "Then you have found the right person. To be honest, there is nothing in this country that I, Wang Er Mazi, don't know."

Chen Qiu smiled, but didn't take his words seriously. Asked: "Brother, do you know, what about the Xie family's son..."

Wang Erpazi's heart skipped a beat, and he had the intuition that this person was looking for Xiao Yuheng. Pretending to be calm and calm, he interrupted, "There are more than two hundred households named Xie in Qinghe Village. I don't know which one you are looking for."

Chen Qiu heard what Wang Ermazi said and knew that he couldn't ask anything.

Sure enough, Wang Ermazi put the money back into his hand, then quickly walked into the back room and closed the door. If you want to be in the yard, you can just stay there.

He was not annoyed at all. The prince always taught them to put the people at ease, and then the people would put them at ease. Look, Emperor Liang is a very good negative teaching material.

It's just that two rejections in a row made him doubt his life. Could it be that his appearance was too fierce, or that the bloody aura in his body scared the people.

Thinking like this, Chen Qiu returned to Chu Heng dejectedly and said in frustration: "This subordinate is incompetent."

Chu Heng waved his hand. He knew Chen Qiu's ability. The people in Qinghe Village are so united that the Xie family is either a highly respected person or a heinous person.

He prefers the former. The Xie family's prodigy is only one year old and is too young. It would be good to pick up a few from other Xie family members who can be used. This would prevent the old man Si Yuandao from complaining to him every day about the lack of manpower.

Chu Heng took a group of others for a stroll in the village. Although the village had dirt roads, they were very clean. There were no debris, animal excrement or the like on both sides of the road, and the villagers were still working normally.

Walking to the village, he suddenly heard the sound of children reading neatly. Chu Heng stopped and listened carefully. He never expected that there was a school in the village.

When Chen Qiu saw that his prince was not leaving, he hurriedly made a stop sign.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, the stars and constellations are arranged, the cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvests and the winter hides..."

As he was about to finish reciting a thousand-character poem, Chu Heng raised his feet and walked towards the bamboo forest following the sound.

......

In Xie's Academy, Chu Heng looked at the plaque on the bamboo house and wondered if the Xie family prodigy was here.

He raised his hand to signal Chen Qiu to follow him while the others waited outside. The two walked along the bamboo house and stood by a window.

Chen Qiu was shocked when he saw that there were both male and female students in the hall. He carefully looked up at the expression on his prince's face that remained calm. As expected of the prince's knowledge, he quickly put away his expression. As the prince's personal attendant, he couldn't act like a country bumpkin.

In the school, Xie Tingjiang was wearing a simple blue shirt and holding a thousand-character inscription. He smiled and asked the children why they wanted to study.

Xie Hu grinned, stood up, and said: "My father said that I was admitted to be a scholar, so he called me father, so I have to study hard."
