Chapter 124
Xie Rongjin didn't realize how much shock he had said to Xie Yuejin. He just lowered his head, and carefully traced the outline in his memory on the white paper with a pen.
After tracing for a while, Xie Rongjin frowned and spoke in a very embarrassed way.
"Sister, tell me, does my nose look like my father's?"
If the nose is also similar, then he will print out a copy of the nose, and then cut out the model, put it together and outline it.
This method is simply extremely clever.
Xie Rongjin was proud of his wit, but he found that his sister didn't respond for a while. When he looked up, he found that Xie Yuejin was shocked, and his eyes didn't know where to go.
"Sister?" Xie Rongjin walked up to Xie Yuejin with two dark circles under his eyes as if he had been beaten, and raised his hand to shake in front of Xie Yuejin's eyes.
"Sister, what are you thinking?"
Xie Yuejin came back to her senses, looked at Xie Rongjin's funny face but couldn't smile, "Brother, you said father is back?"
"Yes." Xie Rongjin nodded, and said heartlessly: "It's a pity, father came and left so fast, I forgot to let someone call you."
Xie Yuejin's face darkened, "Brother, can you forget this kind of thing?"
"Then you can't blame me." Xie Rongjin was very innocent, first he was shocked by his father's appearance for a long time, and when the shock was over, he was locked up and returned to draw pictures when he saw it again, and he didn't remember anything else at all.
Xie Yuejin was pissed off by her unreliable elder brother. Although she knew that Xie Rongjin would be a bit off-kilter occasionally, she never thought that he would forget about such things.
Just when Xie Rongjin reacted and wanted to explain, the guard's voice came from the door again.
Xie Rongjin frowned, "Oh no, the clan uncle is here, sister, you should hide quickly."
Xie Yuejin: "What are you hiding? I came here to visit my brother openly, and it's not like I'm doing something shady."
"That's right." Xie Rongjin was taken aback, but he was often used to being scolded by Xie Xuan, so he subconsciously felt guilty when he got Xie Xuan's name.
While the two were talking, Xie Xuan walked in from the door, Xie Rongjin and Xie Yuejin both saluted.
"Uncle clan."
The moment Xie Xuan stepped into the door, the moment he saw Xie Rongjin clearly, his eyes suddenly went dark.
"Xie Rongjin! What are you doing again?"
Xie Rongjin realized that Xie Xuan was referring to the ink on his face, and suddenly felt a little guilty, "I don't need to draw—"
No matter how stupid the elder brother is, he still can't ignore it. Xie Yuejin put away the disappointment in her heart and looked at Xie Xuan.
"I don't know what's the matter with the clan uncle coming over?"
Xie Xuan couldn't care less about getting angry when Xie Yuejin asked him this question, and turned to face Xie Yuejin, "Your father said hello to me before, and you will decide your marriage from now on, and no one in the Xie family can stop it."
Xie Yuejin's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "It turns out..."
It turned out that her father still remembered her.
Xie Xuan seemed to want to say this sentence, after he finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed at Xie Rongjin for a while, then left directly.
After Xie Xuan left, Xie Rongjin had new worries.
"Sister, don't you really want to marry that boy Meng Yanxiao?"
"Brother!" No matter how mature and prudent Xie Yuejin is, she is a daughter's family after all, so it is inevitable to be embarrassed when talking about marriage.
"Why do you always have problems with Mr. Meng? Although his family is not very good, Mr. Meng is Mr. Meng, and he is different from his family."
Xie Rongjin was worried, "Sister, you said you have always been smart, why can't you see through that kid Meng Yanxiao? Could it be that the so-called love can really blind people?"
"Brother!" Xie Yuejin, who was accused of being blind, was not happy.
"Didn't you have a very speculative chat with Mr. Meng before?"
Xie Rongjin gritted his teeth, "That's because I was blind before. I didn't realize that he came for you. I regarded him as a friend, but he wanted to be my brother-in-law?"
Xie Yuejin was speechless, and under Xie Rongjin's repeated requests, he promised to think carefully about his lifelong affairs.
In the golden autumn of October, the Zhao family took control of the court for the third month. In just three months, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes came down, and the people suffered unspeakably.
A non-governmental army called the Wushuang Army revolted, and fought from Yunhu Mountain to Liyang, and then pressed forward step by step towards Shangjing.
This matter spread to the Zhao family's ears. The moment the head of the Zhao family, Zhao De, saw the information, his nose turned crooked.
"Is the Liyang Yan family all trash? Even a small rebel army can't suppress it. Forget it, but it looks like they have surrendered. They will lose the face of the dignified family!"
"Patriarch calm down, Patriarch might as well enter the palace as soon as possible, and negotiate a solution with the empress dowager." The subordinate said.
Just one and a half months ago, under Zhao De's secret manipulation, all the courtiers respected Zhao's daughter as Empress Dowager Anci.
"No need, what does she know as a woman." Zhao De's face was dark, "General Yan is not very powerful at ordinary times, but now he is in danger, and it is time for him to contribute to the Yan family army."
"This—" the subordinate hesitated slightly, "I'm afraid General Yan will not obey the Patriarch's arrangement."
"If you don't obey, then General Yan's mansion will be a sinner of the Yong Dynasty from now on, a thief who has wronged the country." Zhao De showed malice on his face, "I want to see how General Yan will be chosen!"
Zhao De regarded this small uprising as a tool that could be used to design the Yan family, and the General Yan's House also did not take this tool seriously, even if it did—
There has been no war in the Yong Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and the Yan family has been immersed in scheming and scheming for many years, and they have already lost the talents of generals.
Therefore, the Peerless Army arrived in Shangjing almost effortlessly.
In the past, the bustling city of Shangjing was full of people coming and going, but now the city gates are closed, and the luxurious scenery of the past is nowhere to be seen.
On the city wall, Zhao De walked back and forth, and looked into the distance from time to time, as if he could still see the smoke from the fire of the rebel thieves.
"My lord, we can't go on like this. Sooner or later we will be trapped in this city."
Zhao De sneered, "No, these thieves and those thugs are not saying that they are an army of benevolence and righteousness. If thousands of people in this city are trapped alive, I will see how they will be benevolent and righteous."
"Have the support troops from the Wang family and Xie family arrived yet?"
"The Langya Wang family arrived the day before yesterday, and the Xie family is still on the way."
Zhao De's face became more and more gloomy, "This Xie family, sincerity is against me, there is no need for a family that has lost its orthodox heir."
The name of acting Patriarch is a joke in the aristocratic family, and he was chosen by a side branch. I don't know how the Xie family endured it.
On the fifth day of the siege of the army, the sun was shining brightly, and it was a good day for a change of dynasty.
The huge army gathered outside the gate of Shangjing, and the soldiers on the city wall observing the enemy's situation were so frightened that their legs went limp.
"Hurry up, hurry up and inform your lord and the Patriarchs that the enemy army is going to attack the city."
The news spread to several people in the conference hall one after another, Zhao De's face changed drastically, the Patriarch of the Wang family and Xie Xuan looked at each other, and then each lowered their heads.
The two of them thought of a word in unison.
After today, the Zhao family is like a grasshopper after autumn, it won't be long to be proud.
"Master Zhao is resourceful and resourceful. My Yan family dare not intervene in such a big matter."
Zhao De stood up, shook his sleeves bitterly, "Lead me to see."
Xie Xuan and the head of the Wang family also got up and walked behind Zhao De, General Yan sneered, and walked side by side with him.
Several people went up to the city wall, even Xie Xuan and the Patriarch of the Wang family who had been prepared for a long time were startled by this battle.
With such a huge army, even without the help of his royal family, it would definitely be able to take down Shangjing with ease.
But the other party didn't do that, and handed over the handy Conglong Zhigong to their Wang family.
There are no benefits in the world for nothing, and the head of the Wang family figured it out almost instantly. This is because the other party saw that their Wang family had taken care of the Xie family over the years, and reciprocated.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao came out?" Wu Xizhi, who was wearing armor, squinted his eyes and turned to look at Wu Pingan. "Why do I think he is different from the portrait? He looks much older than the portrait."
"Think about how hard it is for you to enjoy the feeling of being more than ten thousand people for a few days, and you will be beaten back to your original shape immediately. You say you are not worried." Wu Pingan said slowly, "This worry, people will have to grow old. "
"I'm not worried." Wu Xizhi patted his head, "If I can't be a general, at worst I'll go back and be a bandit."
Wu Ping'an: "..."
Seeing that Wu Ping'an ignored him, Wu Xizhi turned around and said something provocative to the top of the city wall.
"Prepare arrows!" Zhao De gritted his teeth, "Give them a thousand arrows to pierce their hearts."
Dozens of archers ran to the front of the city wall with their bows and arrows, and the bowstrings were fully drawn, waiting for an order.
"Set up the formation!" Wu Xizhi waved his hand, and the soldiers holding heavy iron shields set up a protective shield wall in the front row to block all attacks.
With a protective shield wall blocking the front, the army pressed forward step by step towards the city wall.
"Master Zhao." The time is almost here, and the head of the Wang family suddenly said, "The Yong Dynasty is exhausted, and the last Emperor Yong did not even leave any heirs. Master Zhao is obsessed with obsession, but my Wang family cannot be like Master Zhao. "
Zhao De noticed that Patriarch Wang's attitude was different, and immediately asked: "Patriarch Wang, what do you mean?"
Patriarch Wang flicked his sleeves and bowed his hands, "Naturally—the way is different, so we don't conspire with each other."
Xie Xuan also said, "My Xie family is also like this."
"Why, both of your Wang family and Xie family are going to be the traitors who conspired against you? Become the sinners of the Yong Dynasty?" Zhao De's eyes were red with anger, and he drew out the saber from his entourage, pointing at the two of them.
"No, you are wrong." Xie Xuan smiled proudly, "I am Xie Jia, just following in the footsteps of the young master."
"Coincidentally, many years ago, I was impressed by the demeanor of the young master of the Xie family, and the Wang and Xie families are related by marriage." The head of the Wang family smiled and said, "So, it should be normal for me to follow my own brother-in-law."
"You, you—" Zhao Deqi's face was ashen, but he quickly realized a problem, the young master these two people were talking about was by no means the yellow-mouthed kid from the Xie family.
And the "Young Master" who can make these two people treat with this attitude is only that person——
Zhao De was shocked, his teeth chattered.
"Is it him? Is he not dead yet?"
"So you haven't forgotten me yet." A cold and ethereal voice sounded behind them, and the surrounding archers turned around instantly, pointing their bows and arrows at the man in black who suddenly appeared on the city wall.
