After all, she is also a woman, now she is pregnant and about to give birth, and she is also his own sister. Xing Lie doesn't want to say too much to irritate her.
The brother and sister sat in silence. Xing Feiyan understood that this trip was a thankless task for her, as her brother did not appreciate her kindness at all.
"If you don't want to see me so much, then I will..." Xing Feiyan put her hands on the armrest of the chair and wanted to get up and leave.
Xing Lie spoke at this time: "Sister, if I say that my assassination attempt at Yishu Pass this time is related to my brother-in-law, would you believe it?"
Xing Feiyan looked at him sideways in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xing Lie chose to keep silent. Between her husband and her brother, she obviously favored her husband more, so she would not listen to what she said.
So I changed the subject: "How long will it take for my little nephew to meet me?"
Speaking of the baby, Xing Feiyan caressed her round belly with a motherly look on her face: "It's almost time, the little monkey will be born in about half a month!"
"Being good?" he asked.
Xing Feiyan shook her head: "Not well behaved at all, just like when you were in my mother's belly, punching and kicking all day long, never a peaceful moment."
Thinking of those long-lost warm memories, Xing Lie smiled: "Can I touch him?"
Xing Feiyan, however, had no doubt that her brother might attack her. She walked over to his wheelchair and said, "Touch it and try."
As soon as Xing Lie's hand touched Xing Feiyan's belly, the baby in her belly began to greet him, its uncle, kicking and kicking her belly non-stop, forming small bulges one after another.
"He's so energetic, he must be a brat!" The smile on Xing Lie's face became more real.
Xing Feiyan caressed the little one in her belly lovingly: "Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all my children, and I love them all!"
"Take good care of your injuries. I'll come see you later." Xing Feiyan was relieved to see that Xing Lie was not seriously injured.
Xing Lie nodded: "I'll have someone escort you back."
Xing Feiyan nodded and did not refuse. As a person with a double body, she had to be careful in everything.
After Xing Feiyan left, Han Wenjing and others returned to the tent.
"Major General, the attack on Yishu Pass this time is inextricably linked to Fang Pingshan. Previously, we only knew that he and the Flying Tiger Battalion were constantly fighting over every last cent. Now, he's so audacious that he's trying to ally with foreign enemies to seize Huangmo Pass. If he continues to gain power, Huangmo Pass will be in danger!"
Xu Shaoxuan's voice was filled with indignation: "If it weren't for his instigation, Lord Lin wouldn't have..."
Chen Zhidong and Lin Pingyu also nodded, and both advised the major general not to tolerate foreign enemies any longer, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xing Lie had a plan in mind at this time. He was not the kind of person who was indecisive. How could he allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed? This time, the other party raised the butcher knife without mercy. This incident with Lin Rui made him remember it for the rest of his life.
"In another half month, after my eldest sister has given birth safely, I will discuss with the old general the ownership of the East and West Camps, so that he will have no time to cooperate with Yishu Pass. He values power so much that he absolutely cannot bear to see it taken away."
Han Wenjing also had his doubts: "But the current situation is that the Major General was not captured at Yishu Pass. This failure must have already reached Fang Pingshan's ears. He should have been on guard long ago."
Xing Lie glanced at Han Wenjing and nodded in agreement. "So you think he'd kept the correspondence with Yi Shuguan and waited for me to catch him red-handed?"
That would definitely not happen. He would burn the evidence as soon as possible or after each communication. Fang Pingshan was so cautious and scheming that he would never reveal his true identity in such a small matter.
What Xing Lie was thinking was exactly what Fang Pingshan was thinking. He thought that without evidence, Xing Lie was just talking nonsense. But perhaps Fang Pingshan had been the commander of the East Camp for too long and forgot that the Xing Family Army was originally a one-man show of Xing Changyuan and Xing Lie, father and son.
Normally, the father and son would turn a blind eye to Fang Pingshan's actions for the sake of Xing Feiyan. But now that this man is so bold as to shake the foundation of the Xing family army, he must not be allowed to stay.
After hearing what Xing Lie said, Xing Feiyan remained calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She knew her brother's temper best, and it was definitely not aimless.
"lady!"
"lady!"
When she arrived at Fang's house, the servants all greeted her.
She walked over with a gloomy face, even ignoring Old Madam Fang's attempt to meet her and walked past.
Madam Fang looked at her trusted maidservant and asked, "What happened?"
The maid shook her head, as if remembering something, and replied, "Today I asked the gatekeeper at the mansion, and he said he went to the military camp to visit the young general. Perhaps the siblings had another argument, causing the young lady to be uneasy."
Madam Fang secretly glared at Xing Feiyan: "Look at her ability, if it weren't for Xing..."
The trusted maidservant immediately stopped her: "Old Madam, trouble comes from the mouth!"
Old Madam Fang reluctantly swallowed the rest of her words. She was about to go out for a walk when she saw her son coming back exhausted. She hurried to greet him, "Pingshan, why are you back now?"
On weekdays, Fang Pingshan spends most of his time in the East Camp. After all, he is the commander of the East Camp. His hurried return this time also made Old Lady Fang feel puzzled.
Fang Pingshan said, "Mother, Feiyan sent someone to deliver an urgent letter to me. I thought something happened in the mansion."
Madam Fang: "She is so powerful now. She doesn't even give me a good face. How can she be half as capable as Shuxue..."
"Mother!" Fang Pingshan's face darkened. "I told you not to mention this name in the mansion!"
Old Madam Fang was interrupted twice while complaining today and left angrily.
Fang Pingshan strode into his yard. Xing Feiyan, with her pregnant belly, was sitting at the stone table, and the maid who usually served her was not there.
"Fei Yan, why are you so eager to call me back home this time? Is there something urgent?"
Xing Feiyan and Xing Lie looked at Fang Pingshan with the same sharp eyes: "Were you involved in Xing Lie's ambush at Yishu Pass this time?"
Fang Pingshan's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he had been exposed.
But he always pretended to be so pretentious, acting like he was talking nonsense. "Fei Yan, how can you say such nonsense? I participated in the ambush of Xing Lie at Yishu Pass. I was at the East Camp at Huangmo Pass. How is that related to Yishu Pass?"
"Fei Yan, Huangmo Pass is the territory guarded by your father. Even if I am no longer a worthless person, I will never let a wolf into my house. Can't you even trust your husband, the father of your child, with this little bit of faith?"
"What good will this do me? In terms of power, my father-in-law has already given it to me at Huangmo Pass. In terms of wealth, which of the three passes can be more prosperous and powerful than Huangmo Pass? Why do such a conscienceless thing? Even if Xing Lie and I are at odds, he is still your brother and our child's uncle!"
