"Master, you are right. Jiangnan is extremely stable." Xichen looked into Xu Tianze's eyes, his eyes full of admiration.
"As for those besieged from Zhoushan City, they are all King Jing's men. I took the fan my master gave me and went to Guangping Prefecture to insinuate my plan."
"The defending generals were only following orders. They had no idea what King Jing's orders meant and were simply following them."
Xu Tian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He had vaguely sensed that something was wrong since Zhoushan City was surrounded.
Whether it was Xu An's coincidental siege of the city, the troops left behind in Zhoushan City, or the successful suppression of troublemakers everywhere, no matter which one it was, it was too natural.
But thinking that he had already sent Xichen out, if he was just overthinking it, he would be able to call for reinforcements and Zhoushan City would be able to be defended.
But Long Musi appeared with his men right when Xu An was captured. This was absolutely impossible.
You know, he has been instructing Long Er to send people to guard more than 30 miles outside the city, so that whenever Long Musi's people appear, they can send back news in time.
However, he did not receive any news until Long Muse led his troops to the outside of the city. Such an incredible thing did not involve any supernatural power, which could only mean that Long Muse was nearby in advance.
Now he is waiting for Jiang Ti to come back. If Jiang Ti comes back, his guess will be confirmed.
"Master..." Xichen was about to say something when he was interrupted by Xu Tianze.
"You've been traveling all the way and it must be tiring. Have a good rest." Xu Tianze patted Xichen's shoulder.
Xichen glanced at a corner of the window, nodded, and retreated.
Xu Tianze glanced out the window with a hint of coldness on his lips, then he stood up and called Yin Liu in.
"Sir, Ah Sheng was rewarded by the teacher today." Xue Sheng ran in excitedly, holding the big characters he had written.
"Really? Let me take a look." Xu Tianze saw Xue Sheng coming in with a friendly smile on his face.
When Xu Tianze brought the big words over, he looked at Yin Liu with some difficulty. When he saw Yin Liu's helpless look, Xu Tianze almost couldn't help laughing.
This dog-crawling handwriting is exactly the same as his mother's. He is worthy of being his biological son. I can't see any other similarities, but this dog-crawling handwriting is ten times the same.
He was originally thinking that Xue Sheng was very similar to Xue Wei in both appearance and temperament, so why couldn't he find any similarities between her and Yin Liu? It turned out that the similarities were in this area.
"Sir, isn't Ah Sheng very good?" Xue Sheng raised his head, looking as if asking for praise.
"Great, this is much better than what your mother wrote originally, haha~" Xu Tianze tried hard to hold back his laughter, but after he finished speaking, he still couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Master." Yin Liu was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She wondered why her master looked at her inexplicably just now. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.
Before being sold, she was just a maid of the lowest rank, so naturally there was no need for her to practice calligraphy. Later, when she came to her own master's house, she had the opportunity to learn calligraphy.
But she was already quite old at that time, so naturally she made a lot of jokes because of her calligraphy practice, but her own son was the one who laughed the happiest.
I didn't expect that it would be my son's turn. Now I am being ridiculed by my own young master again because of the old things he mentioned.
"Really?" Xue Sheng blinked her big eyes and looked at her mother in confusion.
Silver Willow: ······
Xu Tianze: Hahahahahahahaha~
Just when Yin Liu didn't know how to answer, Xue Wei walked in. He had an anxious look on his face, but when he saw the scene in the house, he was stunned for a moment.
"Xue Wei, come and take a look at your son's calligraphy. It has been praised by the teacher." Xu Tianze almost laughed to death. When he saw Xue Wei coming in, he quickly raised the calligraphy in his hand and winked.
Seeing this, Xue Wei also laughed and walked forward. Since he followed his own prince to meet the master, only at the beginning, the master laughed so happily, and he had never done so since then.
For a moment, Xue Wei suppressed his anxiety, thinking that no matter how big the matter was, it was not as important as his master's happiness at the moment. After all, King Jing still needed his master, and it was not time to get rid of him.
When Xue Wei saw the big words in his master's hand, the smile on his face froze. He looked at his little brat suspiciously, then looked at his master who was still laughing. At that moment, Xue Wei understood what was going on.
This is not a reward or praise, it is clearly embarrassing.
But when he saw the twinkle in his little boy's eyes, Xue Wei could only nod and give a few stiff compliments.
"Okay, Ah Sheng, keep up the good work. The young master is in a good mood today, so you can have one more piece of cake." Xu Tianze smiled, then touched Xue Sheng's little head, with kindness in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
"Wow~ Thank you, sir. Ah Sheng will definitely be filial to you in the future." Xue Sheng's little face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and her eyes were shining.
Xu Tianze nodded, but did not refute. After all, children are all like this, so he just needs to listen.
Xu An once said that he would buy him a big house in the future, but now he hates him to the core. Who can predict what will happen in the future?
"Now is the time to inspect Die Zhai. Yinliu, take Asheng and Liu Jue with you and set off from Zhoushan City. I will then assign you a few secret guards to accompany you." Xu Tianze looked at Yinliu and talked about the purpose of calling Yinliu in.
Yin Liu's face changed when she heard this, but when she saw the seriousness in her master's eyes, she immediately retracted her expression and cautiously probed: "A Sheng is still young, why not let him stay and accompany you."
"A Sheng is at the age where he loves to play. It's a good thing for him to go out and see the world. Just arrange the homework in advance." Xu Tianze shook his head, his tone unquestionable.
Yin Liu had originally held out hope, but upon hearing this, her face instantly turned pale. She secretly pinched her little finger and forced a smile, "Sir, you're right. I wonder when I should set off?"
"Let's go in the afternoon."
Yin Liu opened her mouth and nodded. Seeing what her husband was about to say, she tugged at his sleeve and shook her head. Then she saluted Xu Tianze and left with Xue Sheng.
After Yin Liu and Xue Sheng left, he slowly walked towards the window. Seeing the corner of the clothes disappear outside the window, Xu Tianze's mouth corners hung with a sneer again. When he walked to the window completely, the disdain on Xu Tianze's mouth corners disappeared at some point.
Xu Tianze just leaned on the window sill, looking outside leisurely, without even glancing at Xue Wei.
"You and Long Musi went out of the city to suppress the bandits, but now you are so late. What delayed you?"
