Conquest

Charya looked at all the beauty's actions, but she seemed to be careless on the surface.

This hunting activity was not very interesting. After all, for Xia Ya, he was not a noble born, so he would not treat such activities as entertainment after tea and meals. For him, hunting is basically a kind of Work, a skill to make a living.

Although there are not many prey in this forest, several traps and traps made by Xia still successfully catch a few rabbits, and good luck seems to have fallen on Xia again, one of them In the beast trap, he actually caught a plump fox.

This is a fox with red fur all over the body. The fox fur is obviously of fine texture, and the fox tail is fluffy and soft. When caught by Xia, the beast was still struggling to bite the rope sleeve on its feet, and it had already bitten open for a little while.

Xia Ya smiled and caught the fox. With his eyes, he could see at a glance that this was a female fox, and that the fat body was not because of obesity, but because it was carrying a cub. Just as Xia hesitated, a gentle word came from behind the Governor's wife. "Let it go ..." The woman's voice seemed to be slightly tender and sad at this moment.

With a movement in his heart, Xia Ya thought of something, smiled, untied the fox's feet, and handed it to the governor's wife.

The governor's wife took it over, and there was a slight tenderness in her eyes. She held the foxwood in her arms and stroked it gently. The fox was irritable and nervous, but after a few strokes by the governor's wife Suddenly it seemed a lot more docile.

The woman finally sighed quietly, bent over and laid the fox next to the grass. The beast looked up, looked at the Governor's wife, and then turned around and disappeared into the grass.

Xia Ya squinted her eyes and kept looking at the woman. When she turned around, Xia Ya quickly turned her eyes away. "Do you think this is ridiculous?" The Governor's wife looked at Charlie. "... Uh, after all, it's a life," Charlie said indifferently.

The governor's wife shook her head: "You must not think so ... you, have you heard of me, right?" Xia = ".........

"Well, I haven't been able to give birth to a child, so I just saw this fox with a cub, and I was so soft-hearted that I couldn't bear to kill it. You must have thought so, right? Don't deny it. deny. Xia Ya felt her own nose. "I just can't think of it. The famous legendary lady has such a soft heart. "

The governor's wife seemed to smile, and her tone was a bit confusing: "Everyone will have the softest place in his heart, but you just happened to show my weakness today. Marshal Xia ... what about you? Are you The reputation that Bo kills on the battlefield, with a general like you, is naturally a tough temper, so who is the soft place in your heart left? "

As soon as this said, Xia Ya couldn't help but gave birth to a picture: in the red wilderness of the wild wildfire, she had an axe and a shield, and a long-legged pretty girl sat on her shoulder ...

Looking at Xia ’s face also showing a gentle look, the governor's wife smiled: "You must be thinking of your fiancee, right?"

"That's right." Charlie nodded, not secretly.

Talking about this topic made the original apathy atmosphere suddenly become much milder, and both of them smiled easily.

But at this time, there was a rushing horseshoe sound outside the forest, and then there was a sound of guards screaming and drinking.

The Governor's wife heard this voice and frowned. Then a security guard strode in, whispered to the governor's wife = "Mrs. one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one" and looked at Xia Ya again.

The governor's wife smiled: "There is nothing to hide, Lord Xia is my friend. If there is anything, you can tell it directly."

The guard froze, straightened his body, and said loudly, "Here is Lord Lear ... he is just outside the forest, saying yes ..."

Hearing the name "Lear", the Governor's frown frowned a bit more, and when she was about to say something, she heard a laugh coming from outside the forest. With this laughter, a figure strode Came in, followed by several guards trying to stop.

"Ha ha ha ha ... what's wrong? I just came to see my dear sister-in-law, isn't it okay?" The person who walked in was tall and straight, and in a hunting suit, he outlined his strong body with extravagant martial arts. Come in, and the laughter is very heart-warming: "Dear Donna, why did you not call me such a fun thing about hunting? You should know that when I was young, I liked to go hunting with my uncle. what."

The man strode into the woods, stood in front of Xia and the governor's wife, first saluted to the governor's wife, and then nodded to Xia, with a smile on his face: "This must be His Excellency Xia Leiming Now, I heard that the honorable Marshal came to Hask City, but I have n’t seen you yet. It really makes you laugh. I can see the characters who have defeated Hastings on the battlefield, but what I have always dreamed of, Nana, I'm going to complain to you. Why did you not tell me such a hero, Mr. Xia, came to us? "Xia narrowed his eyes and looked at the guy in front of him.

This man looks like he is in his twenties. He is tall and erect, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist. The brown head was obviously well groomed. His chin is a bit too sharp for a man, but the long horns on both sides conceal this shortcoming well. The facial features are very straightforward and even somewhat handsome, but the eyebrows of a pair of eyebrows are raised upwards, showing a bit of heroic flavor. His eyes were bright, he walked like a meteor, and his voice was full of energy, showing a spirited look.

From the respectful and alert appearance of the guards of the Governor's wife behind him, this man's identity was obviously a bit special ...

When the man walked in front of him, the Governor's wife's brow immediately flew off, and the original frowning appearance instantly changed into a smile of humorous expression. She raised her hand to cover her face and laughed: "Li You are still so unruly ... I did n’t have time to inform you last night when you went out to visit the city, but I did n’t expect that your news seemed to be very well informed, Lord Xia is our distinguished guest, but this time he visited It was kept secret. I didn't expect you to get the news until you came back.

Speaking, she looked at Xia and smiled: "Mr. Xia, this is my husband's path, General Lear 7 Yuri, another outstanding young talent of the Yuri family, now in Besta The military region serves as the defense leader of Hask City. "

The nephew of Governor Yuri?

Xia Ya's eyes lighted up immediately. After thinking of something, her face immediately showed a warm smile. She walked up and watched this guy's hand extended to himself, but did not reach out to shake hands with the other party, but After holding each other, after a warm hug ceremony, Xia Ya let go of each other and smiled: "I am a hero, but I have some luck on the battlefield. General Yuri is not so polite." Please call me Lear Enough.

The general or something really makes you laugh. I am really ashamed in front of a mainland famous man like you. "This Lear laughed:" Master Xia Ya really is the hearty character of the soldiers, and tonight you must conspire with you! Ha ha, my dear, I have borrowed your guests for one night, presumably you must disagree? "

The governor's wife smiled broadly: "Of course not, you guys drink, how can I stop it? I'm worried, my woman's family can't entertain Xia Ya properly."

"Then it's settled!" Li Er grabbed Xia's shoulder, deliberately with a kind of "Everyone is a man" look, lowered his voice and laughed: "Although Hask City is a military feed, However, there are some places in the city where you can find fun, ha ha, Master Xia, I ca n’t welcome you in these places. Let me take you tonight to enjoy the colorful night shows of Hask City, ha Haha ... "

This guy looked both hearty and full of affinity. He turned to look at the guard next to him, watching the prey such as rabbits held in the guard's hands, and frowning deliberately: "It seems I'm coming It ’s over, you ’ve all got so many prey, huh ... huh, huh, next time there is such an interesting hunting activity, remember to tell me, I also want to ask Marshal Xia Ya, who is famous all over the world, to shoot Here. "Murder!

In the seemingly amicable laughter, Xia apparently felt a murderous spirit and hostility hidden in it.

Although the governor's wife and this Lear both smiled as bright as the sun, when the eyes of the two contacted, Xia Ya clearly felt a series of Mars! It seems ... Beslow Military District is not a monolith. Charlie secretly turned her thoughts, this is a very valuable phenomenon.

With the addition of Lear, the following hunting became very interesting. Xia Yahan smiled and watched this Lear and the governor's wife sing one and the other. Both were excellent eloquence. When talking, they talked eloquently and talked. The atmosphere looked very warm.

Until the sun was about to go down, always, the husband and wife yawned deliberately, looked at the sky, and laughed: "It's so fast to be able to live with time, Lear, do you have the task of patrolling the city at night? "

Lear hesitated, and then smiled: "Yes, military affairs can't be delayed, let alone in the presence of Master Xia, I can't be too embarrassed." Then, he narrowed his eyes to Xia intentionally: "Just That's it. I'll go to the city tour first. Before dinner, I'll pick you up at your place ... Hehe, then we can have a good all-night drink tonight! "

The three had already walked outside the forest, and the guards could not hold the three's horses at once. This lear took the lead in turning over the horse, his movements were free and easy, and he showed good riding skills. Sitting on the horse, his waist was straight. Javelin-like, with a raised chest smile: "Well, Master Xia, I'm out of the way ... see you tonight!"

He turned his horse, slashed his horse, and led his guards all the way to Hask City.

When the rising dust gradually fell, the smile on the governor's wife gradually disappeared, turning around, and looking at the guards around him coldly, his tone became cold instantly: "How did the news reach him? Is it? "The guard next to him suddenly stood close to the enemy, and all stood upright and bowed his head.

"Huh, it seems that the news spreads quickly." The Governor's wife deliberately played with her slender fingers, and said lightly: "It's only a day when the Seal of Throne is known, and Lear will know? He was still a distance last night. It's a hundred miles away here! Hmm ... It's also hard. He hurried back a hundred miles and ran back. There was still time for the Seal of the Seal of God to go back and change into a hunting suit before he came to see me! "

Watching all the guards bow their heads and said nothing, the Governor's wife took a deep breath, and then said lightly, "Well, let's go back to the city." After Xia and the Governor's wife got on the horse, they faced Ha with the cavalry. Skander slowly walked away.

The horse team didn't walk fast, and went straight a long way. The governor's wife was silent when she changed. She changed her look and laughed. She did not speak, and Xia, who rode with her, naturally kept Shen. on.

Until the walls of Haskell had become clear in front of him, the governor's talent suddenly sneered, and then held the horse's reins, and as she stopped, the surrounding guards naturally stopped advancing. "Master Xia." Madam Zong looked at Xia from behind. Xia stopped Malay, turned her head, and looked at the woman with a smile. "You saw it just now. I think you must be waiting for me to say something to you?

Xia Ya smiled calmly: "Yes, I was still thinking, when will you talk to me about this matter, I did not expect you to make a showdown with me so soon."

"You and I are smart people. Talking to smart people, I never like to go round the corner." The woman's eyes looked very simple: "Master Xia Ya, this Lear just now is my husband's nephew, and, I have to say that he is also the only male among the younger generation of the Yuri family so far! I mean what you say, you must be very clear? "

Charya nodded.

The Governor's wife's eyes glanced around, and the cavalry guards around him immediately noticed, and immediately rushed away, widened the alert, and stood far away waiting.

The governor's wife was sitting on horseback, not far from the walls of Hask City, and said lightly: "Hask City is an important military town. Here you can directly maintain the deterrent to the north. Since we got this place, The troops of the two regiments are stationed here ... and the general who leads the two regiments is Li Er, my husband's only nephew. "

Charlie smiled deliberately, then looked at the Governor's wife with naked eyes, and smiled unabashedly: "Is this a compromise?"

The governor's wife froze, and it seemed that Xia was not so clear about her words, but then the woman laughed: "Yes, this is indeed a compromise. Many old court officials still support Lear, at least From the current situation, he ... is the only option in some people's minds. You should understand what I mean. "

"These problems, as Governor Yuri gets older, have become more and more acute, haven't they?" Xia Ya smiled lightly: "The question of the heirs has always been a top priority in any family. I can fully understand your present difficulties. "The governor's wife stared at Xia Ya, her eyes were bright, and Fu Ya did not hesitate to look at her.

After a while, the woman suddenly said coldly: "I am a selfish person ... or, I also have some selfish thoughts."

"Everyone has it." Charlie nodded: "I never believed that there are saints in this world who know nothing about dedication and never think about themselves, even if that kind of person really exists Dear Governor, you do n’t look like that person, huh. "I wasn't. "The woman acknowledged it without hesitation. Immediately, her words-became low.

"I'm only 26 years old this year. I married my husband at the age of 16. After two years of our wedding, his health started to get worse. When I was doing business, I started to help him. . This situation has been enough for two years, the throne of the Seal of God. It can be said that after other women get married, enjoy the food, ride horses, learn floral arts, tea ceremony, or have afternoon tea with their close friends, I did n’t enjoy the leisure time in the sun, but I was sitting in the study, looking at the mountain of official documents and various official military documents, when other women hesitated to choose which kind of spice to decorate themselves, I But the smell of ink and parchment baking paint. When other women are thinking about how to cook delicious food to please their husbands, I was thinking about how the army troop and supplies of a certain army should be delivered, and the year when the food was not harvested, how Dismantle the east wall and make up the west wall. While other women are chatting with friends about secret stories, I am wrestling with those allies and enemies around me. Other women can sleep every day When the sun shines on the balcony, but I get up every day before the sun comes out ... I have contributed almost everything to this military region, this family! Not because I am selfless, nor because I am a saint. So, After I put in so much effort and energy ... you may not know that I have had whiteheads since I was 24 years old! I am not a selfless person, let alone a saint. After I have given so much, I do not I will freely give away what I paid for so much, and give it to someone! Even if this person is my husband's nephew! Even if this person is the 'heir,' as identified by those stubborn old courtiers! I can It is not humble to say that the Bestar Military Region can have today. I built it into what it is today, and I will not let others take it away from me! "

Xia Yashen was there for a while, and smiled bitterly: "You can consider having a child, and then wait for your child to grow up in the future, and then inherit your career ...

"I thought about this, too." The Governor's wife's tone became darkened: "I have imagined countless times this scenario: to give my husband a child who inherited our bloodline! Then I will continue for Besta Dedicated my energy to the cause of the military region. After two or three decades, wait for my child to grow up, wait for me to grow old, wait for my vision to begin to decline, wait for my thinking to be unclear, and wait for my ears to begin to change. When I am deaf, I will give my efforts to my child and let him continue to raise it ... but all this, I will not give it to an outsider! Even this person, also a member of the Yuri family, Even this person is the only man in the Yuri family now! "

I have to say that this woman's words seemed a bit selfish. At least she put her position above the family. But this selfishness made Charya have to admit that she was at least frank. Probably, for many old courtiers of the Besta family, they don't care how much this woman has paid for this cause. The only thing they care about is that this cause must be passed on to a male named "Yuri". In the eyes of these people, no matter how good the Governor's wife is, he is just a "temporary custodian".

Charlie smiled. He looked at the governor's wife and whispered, "I think that General Lear has become the object of choice for those stubborn old guys. It shouldn't take long for the seal of the throne. Oh, Forgive me, I think, it must have been in the past two years that you and Governor Yuri have not been able to raise offspring, and this General Lear has become the object of choice for some people. Then I believe that with you Having been operating in the Besta Military Region for so many years, it should not be difficult to deal with such a newly emerged guy ...

The governor's wife changed color, and she looked at Charlie coldly: "You mean ... remove a potential threat?" Charlie said lightly: "I believe you are not the kind-hearted person."

"Of course I am not." The governor's wife smiled suddenly, but with this smile, her eyes were sharp! Then she slowly said: "Lear was able to become the leader of this city of Haskell. Controlling the forces of the two flag regiments was a little capital that the old guys tried to win for him.

Huh ... but without my nod, he would never be able to stand in his current position. Make no secret ... I can indeed make this threat 'disappear' completely disappear and kill it. But in this way, it will also have an impact on me. After all, in those minds are 'orthodox, In the mind of the old guy, no matter how hard this woman works hard, it's just a woman. In their heart, a man with the last name 'Yuri' is more important than everything, even if this person is a mediocre person, they will Willingly take him to the governor's seat instead of choosing a woman! "

Charlie smiled, and continued with the words of the Governor's wife, "... So, you also have concerns. After all, at this stage, you must maintain unity within the Besta Military District, at least this superficial unity, a coup or Cleaning, I am afraid that the time has not yet come, you will continue to tolerate, and even make some concessions to appease the hearts of some old guys. "This is the end of the conversation.

Although Xia did not make any promise to the Governor's wife, such as "I promise to stand in your camp" or "My army will only recognize that the Besta Military District you lead is our only ally."

But at the end of the conversation, Charlie just smiled at each other with the Governor's wife and ended the conversation.

After returning to the city, Xia returned to his residence, took a bath and changed clothes, and then quietly waited for an appointment with General Lear in the evening.

After opening the servant, Charya lived-resting in the room, Dora's voice came to her mind: "You choose to ally with this woman?" "I choose to ally with the Besta military area." Charlie smiled. Laugh: "And this woman is the leader of the Besta Military District, so your words are literally correct." "I think this woman is a bit scary ... then that Lear may be easier to prosecute." Dora's voice was a little confusing.

Xia Ya smiled: "Dora, can you test me again? If I say something stupid, then you can take the opportunity to mock me and sneer at me? I said, we always play this kind of game, I'm tired of it . "

Dora laughed, and the mother dragon's tone was a little bit bad: "It seems that you will be rare this time to be smart."

"I wasn't a fool at all, okay!" Charlie touched her chin. "This woman still has what she said today. Obviously, although this Lear is her threat, she hasn't removed it. It's not just the reasons she said: to appease those old courtiers ... a joke! She has been running the Besta Military District for seven or eight years! With the wisdom and means of this woman I have felt, she has been **** for seven or eight years. The Indian throne came into operation, and the foundations laid were enough to overwhelm some of the old courtiers inside. I think that with a powerful figure like her, she kept such a lear that threatened her rule openly. Www.wuxiaspot. com ~ there must be other reasons. I wouldn't be silly to ally with that Lear. "" Oh? What is your poetry ...

"It's very simple!" Charya's eyes flickered at this moment, like a sly fox: "If I were a leader, I was worried that someone in my group might have two minds, and some people were dissatisfied with me, Or is someone with a rebellious mind ... In such a situation, how can I clear the interior? Send someone a secret investigation? Put a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate the interior? Let ’s not say how much energy this action will take, but the effect may not be good, Moreover, this internal investigation often causes resentment, especially for those who were originally loyal to themselves. When they encounter such an investigation, they will become resentful. If I am loyal to a person, but the other party is Shows that you don't trust me. If you change yourself, you will also feel dissatisfied! So ...

Speaking of which, Charlie paused deliberately, and continued to sneer, touching his chin: "So" investigating is the most stupid person to do. Those fish hidden under the water, in order to catch them, a It ’s too much trouble to go fishing! It ’s better to ... erect a target for yourself! Erect an opposite! There is such an opponent standing openly on its opposite side, and ... at least on the surface, this guy seems to have quite a few Dividing the winning face also occupies some advantages ... then, those big fish that were originally hidden against me will take the initiative to emerge one by one and gather beside this target to oppose me! Hehe ... This approach, Sure enough smart! "
