Chapter 208 Some people counted, some people didn't want to count
The middle-aged man sat behind the table, looking at the notice on the table with deep eyes.
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
This is the notice issued by Yuan Che declaring that Xie Jiajun is innocent and has been wrongly accused.
Can a few casual words wipe out the 180,000 lives of Xie Jiajun's army?
Can't smooth it out!
Even if the emperor of Daqing said a lot of things, he could not erase the lives of the 180,000 soldiers who were killed in Lucheng.
He would never forget the scene where his subordinate deputy general tried his best to protect him as he left.
The blood stained his clothes red.
All he saw and heard were dead bodies, rivers of blood, and sounds of grief.
Even though almost two years had passed, he would still wake up in his dreams at midnight and see those bloody scenes.
Not to mention that his two sons and grandson all died at the hands of Emperor Daqing...
The hatred for the murder of his children, the murder of the women and children in his family, and the hatred for the soldiers weighed on his head like a mountain.
This is definitely not something that can be smoothed over by a simple imperial decree.
The revenge of the Xie family army must be paid with blood!
Yes, this person is Xie Zhennan.
He is also the current King of Zhennan in Northern Xinjiang.
"king……"
A voice was heard outside the study.
Xie Zhennan raised his head and looked at the person coming in from the door.
He suppressed his sadness, his voice a little hoarse, and asked in a normal tone.
"What's the matter."
"The Concubine asked me to ask you, are you going to the West Courtyard or the East Courtyard tonight?"
Xie Zhennan, who has changed his appearance and become the Prince of Zhennan, now has two concubines.
They are all daughters of tribal leaders on the grassland.
After the tribe married their daughter to Xie Zhennan, they surrendered with their troops.
When Xie Zhennan was outside the Great Wall, he also used troops from outside the Great Wall.
But after he entered Lucheng and successfully captured it, he let the soldiers from the grassland tribe go back.
Apart from the two concubines who gave birth to his children, there were no foreigners standing by his side.
After he came to Lucheng, he recruited a lot of people from Daqing in a short period of time and took them to Lucheng.
When Xie Zhennan heard the question from the backyard housekeeper, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Go tell the backyard that I'm very busy lately and will rest in the front yard. Let them rest early."
"Yes."
The butler answered respectfully and then retreated.
After returning to the backyard, he conveyed Xie Zhennan's words to the two concubines.
Let them rest early. The prince is busy tonight and will not come to the backyard.
When Concubine Luo heard the news, she was definitely disappointed.
But fortunately, the prince did not go to the next door, which made her feel a little more balanced.
Now she has given birth to a son for the prince, and the baby next door is about to be born. If it is a daughter, it will be fine, but if it is a son, will he compete with his son for the throne in the future?
The girl who was originally simple-minded on the grassland has begun to plan for the future of herself and her children after becoming a wife and a mother.
She was very worried that the girl next door would give birth to a son.
Then the prince will have two sons.
The only thing that made her feel relieved was that her son was the prince's eldest son, and no matter what, the prince would take better care of him.
Xie Zhennan in the front yard didn't think about what the people in the backyard were thinking. He was only thinking about one thing.
Lead the troops to Chang'an and ask the emperor sitting on the throne to come to Lucheng in person to apologize to the 180,000 dead souls.
This account cannot be settled just like that. It definitely won't be settled just because of his light order.
…………
In the mountains.
Brothers Xie Chang and Xie Yuan, along with Xie Wenjun, hunted a deer, a wild boar and several wild goats in the mountains.
The three wild goats were not killed but were slightly injured and captured alive.
Xie Wenjun led them back home.
The deer and wild boar were dead.
The whole family is busy preparing a whole deer feast tonight.
The remaining wild boars were also cleaned up, half of the bones were chopped, and a little meat was added to make soup and cook the pig-killing dish.
As for the deer, it is used to roast the whole deer.
Xia Chan took over this job.
A whole deer is coated with seasonings and roasted in a charcoal-fired oven.
Wei Hua and Xie Yunying caught more than ten fish. She looked at Xia Chan eagerly, wanting to eat grilled fish.
Xia Chan's mouth twitched.
Looking at Wei Hua's pitiful appearance and thinking about the food she had eaten in southern Xinjiang since she was a child, she finally gave in and helped her make grilled fish.
But you have to let her clean the fish herself.
Mrs. Xie, who happened to come out of the kitchen, saw this and hurried forward to help.
In her words, there were so many people at home and it didn't make sense to let the guests take action.
But Xia Chan doesn't need her sister-in-law's help.
"Sister-in-law, let her do it by herself. She is already fifteen years old, but she doesn't know how to do many things. This won't work."
When she refused her sister-in-law's help, Wei Hua nodded.
"I can do it myself."
She used to catch small fish to eat, and she knew how to string the fish together with firewood.
So, in order to make Xia Chan and her sister-in-law believe it, she immediately picked up the iron skewer beside her, grabbed a fish and pierced it through.
Then he held it up and showed it to Xia Chan and the others.
"Look, I'm done sis, help me bake it."
Can't wait to drool.
Xia Chan's mouth twitched. The sister-in-law beside him couldn't help laughing.
“That’s not how it’s done.”
She was about to reach out her hand again, but Xia Chan reached out in time and held Wei Hua's hand, preventing her sister-in-law from touching Wei Hua.
The sister-in-law, who didn't understand the situation, felt embarrassed for a moment.
Fortunately, Xia Chan saw it and explained it quickly.
"Sister-in-law, she has a poisonous insect on her body. No one in the family should come into contact with her, whether it's her clothes or her."
"Gu insect?"
The eldest sister-in-law was also born into a military family. She practiced martial arts since she was a child. Although her talent in martial arts was not as high as that of the brothers of the Xie family, she had heard what she should have heard.
She had heard of the poisonous insect.
But generally speaking, legends about Gu are about very remote and mysterious places.
And it seems that those who usually cast the curse are elderly women.
She didn't expect that this pretty little girl in front of her would have a poisonous insect in her body.
Seeing the elder sister-in-law's confusion, Xia Chan explained further, "Well, those poisonous insects will automatically attack strange auras within a certain range, so sometimes they will attack even without the owner knowing."
Xia Chan was not speaking for Wei Hua.
It is a realistic explanation.
Because when she was young, she was bitten by many poisonous insects.
She didn't know it at that time.
When her master came back from outside, he took off his clothes and handed them to her, asking her to help hang them up.
She took it without any preparation, and ended up getting bitten by the poisonous insects on both her arms and losing consciousness.
Of course, this doesn't mean that her master didn't do it on purpose.
On the contrary, her master did it on purpose.
He deliberately let her go to get clothes and deliberately let her be bitten by the poisonous insect.
It was also at this time that Xia Chan understood that no part of the body of a person who raises Gu, even the clothes they take off, can be touched by ordinary people.
