please come back

For a period of time that followed, Xia Heyu's army stayed comfortably in Yizhou City, and watched with cold eyes the heroes of the world everywhere, plundering each other's power, and watching the imperial court's army marching here and there, scattered and suppressed.

Occasionally, there will be some small rebel troops who are overwhelmed by their own capabilities and attack Yizhou City, which is rich in fish and rice, but they are all beaten back by Xia Heyu.

Because the four states in the southeast are occupied by Xia Heyu, the taxes of the people here are directly handed over to Xia Heyu. The taxes in these places are only [-]% of that of the imperial court, so the people live more comfortably. In this increasingly chaotic world, Southeast The four states are like a paradise.

It was already summer, and just after dawn, there was a loud humming of cicadas outside the window, which made Jiang Linyuan reluctantly open his eyes, turned over and saw the little wolf sitting in front of him, and saw that he was waking up. He stuck out his somewhat rough tongue and licked himself.

The little wolf already has the appearance that a male wolf should have.Although it has a lonely wolf nature, but because it has lived with people since childhood, it is not afraid of people. It wanders around the city all day long, and loses its temper at Xia Heyu from time to time.

Jiang Linyuan thinks that this little wolf is good everywhere, the only shortcoming is that this guy will shed his hair in summer, and he needs to rub his hands if he touches it, so Jiang Linyuan usually pushes this guy out to sleep.

But yesterday, it rained lightly in the evening, and it was cool, so Jiang Linyuan didn't close the door, and let the little wolf hide from the rain inside.

Jiang Linyuan curled up his fingers and nodded the little wolf's forehead, put on his clothes and sat up, and asked it softly, "Are you hungry?"

There was no answer from the little wolf, but Xia Heyu was woken up by the sound of cicadas. Xia Heyu turned around and hugged Jiang Linyuan who was sitting on the edge of the couch. His head was tilted on the couch beside him, and his eyes were still a little sleepy. .

Seeing that Xia Heyu had woken up, the little wolf bared his teeth at him and made a "grunt" sound in his throat, but Jiang Linyuan could tell that the wolf didn't have the slightest hostility in his eyes.

Xia Heyu didn't bother to talk to the little wolf, but Jiang Linyuan tugged at the little wolf's ear, and said with a smile, "Are you going to get angry with him in the morning?"

The little wolf raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Linyuan, then continued to bark his teeth at Xia Heyu.

Jiang Linyuan had no choice but to pat the little wolf on the head again, and said, "Okay, if you're hungry, go to the kitchen, there should be a newly caught rabbit."

The little wolf looked at Jiang Linyuan and licked his upper lip and nose, then turned and ran out.Xia Heyu buried his face and said, "Sooner or later, I will skin this beast."

"You've said this no less than ten times, and I don't believe you can do it." Jiang Linyuan yawned.

"That's not because you protect it." Xia Heyu murmured, his voice gradually getting quieter, as if he was about to fall asleep again.

After the light rain last night, the air this morning is also sweet. From the sycamore tree in the yard, there are a few melodious birdsong. Occasionally, water drops will drip from the eaves, hitting the ground with a "drip dong" "the sound of.

Xia Heyu's breathing became steady again, and Jiang Linyuan couldn't stand up because he was hooped by him, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he just sat quietly like this, imagining that it would be fine if the life continued like this without any disturbance.

However, the world is getting more and more chaotic, and there are probably not many such ordinary and warm days left, because it was also on this day that Xia Heyu got the news: Li Su had been killed in Beijing.

The person who killed Li Su was called Shi Jinyu, who was born in a local gangster.It's ridiculous to say that Shi Jinyu only used a kitchen knife to kill Li Su.

If we talk about Shi Jinyu's uprising, it was all because he was hungry and crazy, and a hungry and crazy person would inevitably do some unbelievable actions.It was in such a state that Shi Jinyu left the barren land of his hometown with a small group of people, carried axes and kitchen knives, and went all the way to the capital.

In the capital city, Shi Jinyu blocked Li Su's guard of honor on the street, and led a group of people under him to attack without any explanation.

Although Li Su brought his guards, he couldn't resist the large number of people, and Shi Jinyu, who was already red-eyed, died tragically under Shi Jinyu's sharpened kitchen knife.

It's a pity that the eunuch who was in charge of the situation for a while ended up tragically dying on the street in the end.

After Li Su's death, chaos began in the capital, and all the ministers went to the prison to bring back their family members, and then left.The people in the capital should also hide and run away.

And Shi Jinyu was at a loss after killing Li Su, until he broke into the palace and found that it was resplendent and magnificent, with countless treasures hidden here. Where did a commoner see this before, so he took his brothers and stayed here until Someone reminded him that this is the imperial palace, and the person who lives here should be the emperor.

Only then did Shi Jinyu wake up, greed grew wildly in his heart like weeds, at that moment, he thought of Wanmin kneeling in front of him, and thought of a deafening "Long live", Shi Jinyu hooked the corners of his mouth, he began to want the world .

Xia Heyu had some impressions of Shi Jinyu, because that day he had repelled a group of people who were holding farm goods and threatening to occupy Yizhou.

The leader was a bearded, wheat-husk-like complexion, deep-set eyes, and a relatively strong figure.This person is Shi Jinyu.

But at that time, the team was scared away by Xia Heyu's rockets. Xia Heyu never thought that it was such a person who killed Li Su.

Xia Heyu poked the corner of the table with his fingers and frowned in thought. After a long time, he looked up at Jiang Linyuan and asked, "What should we do?"

Jiang Linyuan looked straight into Xia Heyu's eyes, and asked, "Why don't you tell me first, what do you want?"

Xia Heyu was stunned. All he wanted to do in the past was to go north to get rid of Li Su. As for the throne and power, he thought it was a matter of course after killing Li Su.

Now that Li Su has been removed, although Xia Heyu didn't do it himself, Li Su has already got his due ending. If you ask Xia Heyu what he wants now, he really can't answer it, because the imperial power, the world, these things are really a little bit different. It's too ethereal.

"If you can't answer, just wait a little longer, wait until you think it over, wait until the situation of the world is clear, and then think about this matter." Jiang Linyuan said, he has always been calm, and he has always been sober. He knows that this matter will be serious. A turning point, all of this is in Xia Heyu's thought, so don't be careless.

Xia Heyu nodded, got up and walked out the door.

At a certain moment, Jiang Linyuan wanted to stop him, and wanted to say to him: Xia Heyu, let's go to a clean place.

But in the dark, Jiang Linyuan didn't do this. He knew that whether he wanted to or not, Xia Heyu would eventually embark on an uneasy road, and he needed to be with him on this road, even if it was hard, he had to go on.

Xia Heyu went out of the yard and went to the barracks, and saw Yuan Wendong practicing cavalry in the racetrack.

The mares released by Yuan Wendong a few days ago, and a few strong stallions came back, plus the horses collected in Yizhou City during these days, now Yuan Wendong has more than 200 horses. Jingqi, and this team is also growing with the increase in the number of donated horses.

Xia Heyu pushed the fence and walked in, leaning aside to watch Yuan Wendong train the soldiers.Yuan Wendong's body was straight on horseback, and his black robe bulged with the wind, showing the demeanor of a general.

Yuan Wendong saw Xia Heyu, got off his horse and walked towards him with a little smile on his face, even the scar on his left cheek was not so scary anymore.

"General Xia." Yuan Wendong said after approaching, cupping his hands.

"Wendong, I've said it many times, there is no need to be so polite between you and me." Xia Heyu crossed his arms and said.

"Yes." Yuan Wendong nodded and smiled.

"Have you heard about Li Su?" Xia Heyu asked.

"I heard." Yuan Wendong said, "That person deserves to die." Yuan Wendong paused and said, "General, when will we attack the capital?"

Xia Heyu was taken aback again, and asked, "Why do you want to attack the capital?"

Yuan Wendong raised his head, without any hesitation in his eyes, as if his next words were agreed in advance, he said: "Because in the whole world, only you, the general, are suitable to be emperor."

Xia Heyu was startled suddenly. This was the first time he heard someone say such words to him. These words made his heart heavy, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but there was something tickling in his chest.

Under Yuan Wendong's surprised eyes, Xia Heyu pushed aside the fence of the racetrack and walked back, quickly walking back to the yard where he had just left.

Jiang Linyuan was still in the room, sipping a cup of tea, but Xia Heyu hurried in, slammed the table, and said, "Let's continue going north, I want to take the capital."

The teacup in Jiang Linyuan's hand almost fell over, he swallowed a mouthful of tea, and said, "Have you thought about it?"

Xia Heyu nodded.

"Then let's go to Fengcheng." Jiang Linyuan put down the teacup and said slowly.

"Fengcheng?" Xia Heyu muttered the name of the city.

"Fengcheng is not big, and there is not even a decent wall around the city, but it is a transportation station between the north and the south, and a turnover point for material exchanges. Mastering Fengcheng is like holding a person's throat. As long as you If he is firmly embedded, this person will definitely die." Jiang Linyuan explained.

"Okay." Xia Heyu said, "Let's go to Fengcheng."

Jiang Linyuan smiled and lowered his head slightly, cleverly concealing the trace of reluctance in his eyes, reluctance to let go of this quiet day.

After the two discussed it, they decided to leave in a month.Jiang Linyuan had never met Shi Jinyu, but after listening to Xia Heyu's description, Jiang Linyuan felt that he was just a reckless man, so Jiang Linyuan didn't care too much. I can't stay in the palace for long.

But this time, Jiang Linyuan was wrong. This was the only time in his life that he underestimated the enemy.

Although Shi Jinyu hadn't read many books, he was a formidable character, with the talent of an emperor.

Jiang Linyuan didn't know at this time that he and Xia Heyu were going to fight this person for a while, and he didn't expect a series of grievances and resentments arising from this decision.
