Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Chapter 270

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer, Li Xie gave all members of the Wolf Warriors team a half-month holiday, allowing them to go home to have a good New Year and spend time with their families. After the new year, there will be no such leisurely days.

It was already New Year's Eve when Li Xie returned to Sibeile Mansion, Yunyao had just returned from the palace to attend the family banquet of the New Year's Eve, since it was a family banquet, there were only Kangxi and the concubines, the elder brother and his wives, concubines, and children.Everyone else is a lively family, Yunyao is alone, the scene is so bleak, she doesn't care, but she still feels a little bit suffocated if she can't stand those eyes.But Concubine De finally didn't show her face anymore, she was gentle and gentle, not like before and couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes.

The internal affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the treatment of Wu Ya's family were exactly as Li Xie said, except for the eldest son of Concubine De, who was sentenced to death for being involved in a life lawsuit caused by the robbery of a civilian girl, everyone else kept it. killed.Concubine De had heard about this nephew before, he was overly doted on by her sister-in-law, and he was very arrogant, and now he was kicking the iron plate, he had already gone to see the King of Hades in November.

On New Year's Eve, there is a palace banquet in the palace, courtiers of four ranks and above, ministers and their families must enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet.Li Xie's appearance did not attract too much attention. Seeing his unchanging expression, the ministers thought that this Sibei Le might just go to the army to play house, so they just glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it. Now they are busy wooing Prince Zhi, Wu Baylor, Seven Baylor, and Babeile.

On the tenth day of the new year, Li Xie bid farewell to Yunyao, and went to the camp in the southern suburbs with his two attendants, Hou Yong and You Hua. All five members of the Wolf Warriors returned to the camp on time.Li Xie led them to continue exercising for five days. After the Lantern Festival, all the Wolf Warriors left with their packs on the second day.Li Xie's goal this time is to train with bandits from all over the Qing Dynasty who are always non-stop, as well as those organizations that are against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. He also plans to go in and make a foray.

As a married woman, Yunyao can't go anywhere, she has to say that she is a little bit aggrieved, every day she can only have some fun in the house fights in the backyard of the Babeile Mansion next door.

The four women in Yinhu are all pregnant. Bafujin will give birth in March, and Cifujin Yiergenjue Luoshi is about four months later than her, and that will also be in July. The other two Gege One month later, Fujin was born, and she gave birth in August.This Yinhu's ability to conceive is so strong, the bride who married into the Babeile Mansion in November, it is not long before the good news of pregnancy comes out.

Sure enough, at the beginning of February, another exciting news came from the Babeile Mansion, that the two concubines were pregnant for more than a month.

Mo Xiang and Mo Yu listened to the butler's weak announcement of the good news with drooping heads, Yun Yao was extremely happy, and after hearing the butler's words, she still smiled and said, "Butler Li, this is Babeile's happy event, prepare two congratulatory gifts , Hurry up and send it to Babeile's residence."

Li Chongzhou nodded sternly, he came to Fujin to report the news, and the reward in the palace arrived at Babeile's mansion. He opened the Yimen door and looked at Babeile's mansion who was smiling like a Mira Buddha Shi An, the housekeeper, secretly cast aside in his heart, this will be happy, the child has not been born yet, who knows if it is Elder Brother or Gege?

In the palace, Kangxi and Concubine Ning were really happy. Among his many sons, the oldest, second, fifth, and seventh were not very well-off. Although the third had two sons, Shu Fujin was pregnant again, but the third's The two sons are both sick and crooked. Looking at them makes people worry about whether they can support them.And Lao Ba has only been married for less than a year, and all the women in the backyard are pregnant. Lao Ba's seeds are of good quality.

Thinking of the fourth brother again, Kangxi's expression became dull. Originally, he planned to give the fourth son a few women this year, but he didn't want the fourth brother to run away with his army, and even went out to suppress the bandits under the pretense of up.With such a short time in the capital, how could he have time to make a grandson.The fourth daughter-in-law is also a disappointment. It seems that she won't be able to give birth to a grandson, so she might as well wait for next year's draft to give the fourth daughter a few more women. Don't count on the concubine De, he will give the fourth daughter whoever is lucky.

Kangxi shook his head, shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and continued to review the memorial. Li Dequan came in with another stack of memorials, which were presented by the magistrate.

Li Dequan was a little puzzled when he thought of the somewhat dry smile of the General Manager just now.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial submitted by the magistrate of Tongzhou and its county magistrates." Li Dequan put the memorial on the hanging platform next to the wall on the left, and put it neatly according to the area labels.

Kangxi just waved his hand, Li Dequan pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the general minister who just delivered the memorial, Mr. Bu, has a strange look on his face. This servant is thinking that there should be something special in these memorials."

Kangxi suddenly became a little curious, he raised his head, and asked Li Dequan to carry the stack of memorials over. He first inspected it to see what was so strange about it.

Kangxi quickly flipped through several memorials, but there was nothing special about them until the fifth memorial, which was the appeal of the magistrate of Anshan County under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou.

What the county magistrate of Anshan County mentioned in the memorial was that he greatly praised an army from the capital, the War Wolf Army, which helped him wipe out the bandits in all the mountains around Anshan County, and also uncovered many bandits who were related to the bandits. The wealthy businessmen who colluded with each other gave the people of Anshan County a bright future. He wanted to show his merits for the Wolf Warriors, especially the general Si Baylor.

Kangxi was very surprised, but after being surprised, he was full of relief. As a father, he naturally hoped that his son would achieve something.

Tongzhou is two hundred miles away from the capital, and Anshan County is the most westward county seat. There are many mountains under its jurisdiction, so there are many bandits hovering around. The army suppressed bandits.Li Xie and the others slept in the open for more than ten days. Originally, with Li Xie's ability, he could single-handedly take on these gangsters' cottages, but he did it to train the members of the Wolf Warriors, so the action to suppress the bandits was entirely the responsibility of the Wolf Warriors. It took a long time for the team members to complete the plan because they were novices.

After leaving Anshan County, Lixie and his group of more than 200 people continued to walk west and stopped at Lingzhou Fucheng, fifty miles away.This time, Li Xie planned to stay in Lingzhou Prefecture for about a month. This time, he planned to teach the members of the Wolf Warriors how to observe others.This must be done in a place with a lot of people, and it won't work in a place with few people, so everyone changed into casual clothes and entered the Lingzhou prefecture.Li Xie pretended to be the son of a rich family, You Hua and others pretended to be guards, and some people broke up and entered Lingzhou Fucheng.

Yunyao received Li Xie's letter in mid-February. It was written by Li Xie when he was temporarily staying in Lingzhou Prefecture. It was a thick pile of letters, explaining what he had done during this month. Hearing that he wanted to stay in Lingzhou Fucheng, Yunyao immediately replied to the letter, and when they settled in an unstable place in the future, she would not be able to send him a letter.

After the letter was sent out, Yunyao asked Li Chongzhou to find out if Li Xie's actions in Anshan County had aroused the attention of court officials. Notice it is.Li Chongzhou inquired about the news, and indeed the courtiers knew everything they should know, and some people slandered the emperor, saying that Sibeile's actions were a waste of military discipline and were not advisable. The emperor should summon Sibeile back to Beijing immediately and take back the war. Wolves' rights.Babeile's subordinates also went forward to slander Babeile. After all, it is not advisable for an elder brother to hold military power in his hands. A big problem for Baylor in the future.

Yun Yao had no way of knowing Kangxi's reaction, but he did not accept the courtier's opinion.What Babeile meant, Yunyao found out about it. Yinhu is now very beautiful, but facing the fourth brother, he is still cowardly. He is a little afraid of the reborn Yongzheng, and he dare not face him. 'Yongzheng' retaliated, so he did not adopt the minister's opinion, unless there is a way to kill with one blow, otherwise he will not act rashly.

After inquiring about the court's movements, Yunyao didn't plan to do anything, but she felt that she needed to continue dormant to develop contacts. The Sibeile Mansion was severely lacking in contacts. Li Chongzhou spent a lot of time inquiring about things every time, which was really not easy.

Mo Xiang and Mo Yu ran back from the outside with a smile on their face. They just went to the gate to peek at the happy event at the Babeile mansion next door. It has been more than 20 days since the two new concubines in Babeile were diagnosed with pregnancy , there is a lack of women to serve in the backyard of Babeile, so Concubine Ning summoned many wives from the court, and chose two beautiful girls from the unmarried ones in the last draft to give to her son to be Gege. When Ge Ge, Ge Ge's father's official position is not very high, but the family is considered a powerful family in the Manchu and Han Eight Banners.

Now everyone in the Mansion of Sibeile is having fun in the backyard of the neighboring Babeile Mansion. Today I heard that this one wants to eat bird’s nest from the Northwest, tomorrow I hear that that one wants to eat apples from Hainan, and so on.Full of drama, so lively.In addition, Yunyao also knew that Yinhu had to visit Guo Luoluo Mingzhu at least twice a month, so this guy was really busy, and Superman was no more than that.

On the last day of February, someone came from the Yonghe Palace, and there was an order from Concubine De to let Yunyao enter the palace on the second day.

Originally, as a daughter-in-law, even if she lived outside the palace, she had to be filial to her elders, but since Yunyao came, it was not a big day, she did not enter the palace, nor did she enter the palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Since the evil is not in the capital, she has even more reason not to enter the palace.Since Concubine De sent someone to communicate first, Yunyao naturally wanted to save face, so why did Concubine De seek her?

The next day, Yunyao entered the palace and ran into Da Fujin and the others at the gate of the palace. Da Fujin and the others felt dazzled because they entered the palace twice a month to pay their respects, and they had never seen this sister-in-law before. Is the sun coming out from the west?How could she enter the palace to pay her respects?

Yun Yao smiled and greeted all the sisters-in-law, but she didn't see Fujin, and she thought that Fujin was about to give birth, so she didn't enter the palace this time.

After entering the Yonghe Palace, the Fifth Princess and the Seventh Princess were there, although Yun Yao was a little surprised, but she was not rude, and after greeting Concubine De as usual, Concubine De smiled and nodded.After a while, Concubine De said with an uncomfortable expression: "Rui Ling, I don't know where the fourth child is now?"

As a mother, I don't know where my son is. Although this can reflect the son's unfilial piety, it can also reflect the failure of being a mother.

Yun Yao took a look at Concubine De before saying: "It should be in Lingzhou, but in a few days, Lord and the others will leave and won't stay in Lingzhou for long. As for where to go, we will have to wait for the letter from Lord to arrive." .”

Yun Yao felt that she might have misunderstood, why did Concubine De have a lonely expression on her face?

However, she had to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, so Concubine De did not reveal her purpose so quickly, and Concubine De did not explain the reason until she returned from the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

It turned out that the fifth princess wanted to discuss marriage. After Kangxi revealed this meaning, and because the fifth princess was raised by the queen mother, the queen mother liked this granddaughter very much, and Kangxi might also like this gentle daughter, so he planned to keep the fifth princess in Beijing. Choose the forehead among the Manchu Eight Banners.And it seems that Kangxi gave several candidates, including the Tong family, who is also the grandson of Tong Guowei, Tong Jiashun Anyan, and Kangxi seems to be particularly interested in Shun Anyan.

It is undeniable that Concubine De was very moved. After all, the Tong family was at the top of the imperial court. She was not dissatisfied with her daughter's marriage to the Tong family.But this involved Fourth Master and Empress Xiao Yiren. Fourth Master had never had close contact with the Tong family, and even the Tong family did not recognize him as a nephew. This position was really embarrassing.

No matter what, Concubine De wanted to know if the elder son had any objections to his younger sister marrying into the Tong family?

"Emiang, I'm sorry, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what the master will think, anyway, the fifth sister is still young, whether she will point to marriage for a while, if you want to know the master's opinion, it is better to ask him in person after the master returns to Beijing .”

The fifth princess lowered her head, and a blush flew across her cheeks. Looking at her face, Yun Yao seemed to be a bit lucky. As far as she knew, the fifth princess died of heat stroke at the age of 20.

Seventh princess is young and it's not her marriage, so she is calm and still has the mood to tease her sister.

Yun Yao remembered that neither the fifth princess nor the seventh princess was a long-lived person. The fifth princess still remembered when she died, but the seventh princess didn't remember when she died at all, only that she didn't grow up at all.

Looking at the face of the Seventh Princess, Yun Yao couldn't help but feel a little surprised, it seems that the death of the Seventh Princess is over, and her life will be smooth from now on.

Concubine De hesitated for a moment and nodded, then hesitated again, named a few people and asked Yunyao to check for her, if there is anything wrong with these people.

In addition to Shun Anyan, among the few names, there is another name that Yunyao is particularly familiar with, and that is Xilinjueluo Ertai.

Yun Yao raised her eyebrows, nodded her head in agreement, anyway, with one mouth on the top, the legs on the bottom are broken.

Yun Yao didn't stay in the palace for long, so she took her leave immediately and left.Concubine De felt a little aggrieved, that feeling was indescribable, and she couldn't say it in front of her daughter, but the fifth princess and seventh princess didn't embarrass fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law as much as before when they saw Eniang. Take a breath.

Concubine De showed her favor to Yunyao and Lixie, but it was because she had no one to help her now, and her future reliance was still young at Fourteen, knowing that the courtiers and Kangxi would give the eldest son some face, and Wu Ya's family suffered a lot. After being seriously injured, she had no choice but to bow her head temporarily.For a concubine who has been up and down in the harem for many years, it is nothing to temporarily bow her head, as long as she wins the final victory, everything is worth it.

Later, when Kangxi came to the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De politely proposed the marriage of the fifth princess, and she wanted to wait until the fourth son returned to Beijing before making a decision.After all, the fifth princess is the younger sister of the fourth child, and the one who can't be the elder brother is the last to know about the younger sister's marriage, right?Kangxi glanced at Concubine De and nodded in agreement.

Concubine De didn't mention it, Kangxi really forgot about it.

In the middle of March, Ba Fujin gave birth to Babeile's eldest daughter. On the day of Xisan, Yun Yao naturally also attended the Xisan banquet.Ba Fujin was disappointed with the naked eye, but Yinhu was very happy, and appeared in front of the guests with her daughter in his arms, which reassured Ba Fujin and Suozhuoluo's family.The baby opened her eyes, and her eyebrows and eyes resembled Concubine Ning very much, which was enough to predict how beautiful she would be when she grew up.

Back from Babeile Mansion, Li Xie's letter arrived again.

This time, after Lixie and the others left from the capital of Lingzhou, they wandered around Lingzhou. They spent five days picking out the bandit villages around them, and continued to walk southwest again. Those organizations are the famous Red Flower Society organization, and Lixie and the others accidentally discovered a member.However, the members of the Red Flower Society are much smarter than the gangsters, so they need to be cautious, and Li Xie and his wolf team have gained some fame all the way south. It is not so easy to break into the Red Flower Society.

After that, Yunyao didn't receive a letter from Lixie for a month, so she didn't know how his fight with the Red Flower Society was going.On the capital side, all the departments of the imperial court are operating well. With the cooperation of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, all the streets in the capital have been replaced with cement roads, and a new small department has been established in the Ministry of Industry to manage transportation. However, because it has just been established, its functions and powers have not been clarified, so it is still just a grassroots team.

Letters from Lu Fei and Fu Ming also arrived, and the 1000 people they recruited in Guangzhou have already completed half of the training tasks assigned by their masters.

Yun Yao answered the questions of Lu Fei and Fu Ming one by one, and told Lu Fei and them that their master would go to Guangzhou in August/September at the latest, and he would look for them at that time.

After sending out the letter, another three days later, the little eunuch who delivered the order suddenly came to Sibeile Mansion, and Kangxi sent her into the palace.

Yunyao's mind was spinning fast, why did Kangxi pass her on?It can only be related to Lixie. He hasn't sent a letter back to Beijing for a month. Could it be that Kangxi also lost his whereabouts?

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, as expected, Kangxi told her without any nonsense that Lixie had disappeared in Nanfeng County. Of course, one of his entourage, You Hua, and five team leaders were also missing at the same time.

Kangxi looked very serious, Lixie disappeared with You Hua and the others last night, he received the news this morning, it can be seen that Kangxi has quick communication tools, flying pigeons, eagles and other things?It is impossible for people. Nanfeng County is close to the border between Yunnan and Sichuan. In this era of inconvenient transportation, it will take at least a day or two to expedite even a [-]-mile journey.

"Did the fourth family letter mention something related last time?" Kangxi was a little depressed. It was as if the son had completely lost him when he was released. Apart from sending the family letter to the fourth daughter-in-law unshakably, he never thought of sending a letter to his father. letter.

Yun Yao lowered her head and said, "Master mentioned the Red Flower Society."

Kangxi said calmly: "I know this. Those people he contacted have all been detained and tortured. They are just peripheral members of the Red Flower Society."

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know." That must be the headquarters of the Red Flower Society!

Naturally, Yunyao was not worried about Li Xie's safety, but she still asked Li Chongzhou to continue to pay attention to the movements in the capital.Kangxi blocked the news, and no courtiers discussed the disappearance of Sibeile.

At this time, Li Xie, who was in the base camp of the Red Flower Society, waited until night, and quickly shuttled through the beautiful buildings with his waist bent.The base camp of the Red Flower Club is naturally not in Nanfeng County, but in Songtu Mountain in Songtu County, which is a hundred miles away from Nanfeng County. Nanfeng County does not belong to Yunnan, but Songtu County belongs to the border of Yunnan. It is just entering Yunnan. border counties.

The old nest of the Red Flower Society was built in the depths of Songtu Mountain, deep in the mountains and wild forests, and there are many poisonous insects, poisonous tongues and poisonous fog, it is indeed impossible for ordinary people to go deep.But Li Xie looked at the carved beams and painted buildings, the rockery and flowing water, and a sneering smile flashed across his face. If it was the beginning, the Red Flower Society really wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore the Han people's rivers and mountains.But now the Honghua Society is afraid that they don't have the same spirit, it seems that the life is more comfortable than him.Li Xie sneaked into the bedroom of the chief rudder of the Red Flower Society, and easily restrained Cheng Zhixing, the chief rudder of the Red Flower Society, who was having a good time with his concubine.

Three days later, Kangxi once again sent Yunyao into the palace to inform Lixie of the news that he had indeed broken into the old nest of the Red Flower Society and arrested all the main members of the Red Flower Society.

Naturally, Kangxi will not let Cheng Zhixing, the chief rudder, and some famous members of the Red Flower Society, according to his idea, want to implicate all members of the Red Flower Society, but he will not accept the order of the foreign emperor, he once again When receiving the specific news, Li Xie had already released most of the innocent members of the Red Flower Society back to their hometowns, letting them go home and live in peace.

However, by pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, from the line of the Red Flower Society, officials from all over the country who colluded with the Red Flower Society were found. The follow-up matter is Kangxi's business.

The Red Flower Society, an anti-Qing and Ming-ming organization, was destroyed, and Kangxi wondered when it would be Tiandihui's turn?However, it seems that after the Tiandihui learned the news that the safflower would be destroyed, the members of the Tiandihui hid themselves, fearing that they would not come out to make trouble in a short time.

Another five days later, the courtiers finally found out about the wolf team's destruction of the Red Flower Society. The reaction was huge, and they could say anything. They didn't want such an army to be in the hands of Li Xie.

Yun Yao sneered, slandering her behind her back, they are all villains, if she has the ability to wait for Li Xie to come back, ask him in front of his face if he wants to fight Wolves!

As the exploits of the Wolf Warriors in suppressing bandits continued to spread back to the capital, the courtiers were numb, but they all hid themselves, as if holding back their big moves. After all, now that Li Xie is outside, it is useless to say anything, only to wait for him Only after returning to Beijing can we plan one or two.

In the blink of an eye, it was December again, and Li Xie led the Wolf Warriors team all over the southwest and southeast regions, and finally returned to Beijing at the beginning of December.The members of the Wolf Warriors at this time are quite different from those when they left Beijing. Everyone has a majestic aura. They are the strongest army of the Qing Dynasty, and they are proud of it!

Compared with Lixie, Yinhu has also gained a lot this year, not mentioning his achievements in politics, but only mentioning his children.But Yunyao wanted to smile, of course, she was a woman herself, she didn't discriminate against women, it was because what happened to Yinhu was so funny.Bafujin gave birth to Yinhu's eldest daughter in March, and side Fujin Yiergenjueluo family gave birth to a concubine's second daughter in July, and the other two concubines brought up by the house gave birth to their concubine's third and fourth daughters in August. The two concubines who married into the Babeile Mansion in November last year also gave birth to their fifth and sixth daughters at the end of October and early November, so now there are six golden flowers in the Babeile Mansion, and the whole capital is staring at them. The two princesses who married into Babeile Mansion in March are also pregnant, one is four months pregnant and the other is three months pregnant.

Yinhu himself was a little embarrassed. It's not that he doesn't like daughters, but this year all his women gave birth to daughters. It seems that one daughter is precious, and six daughters will be discounted.If the child born to the two Princesses is still a daughter in June and July next year, it will be a bit f*ckingly depressing.

His situation is more tempting to laugh than King Zhijun. King Zhijun is Dafujin who has given birth to five golden flowers for many years in a row. He has harvested six golden flowers in one year. Who in the capital doesn't talk about it?Kangxi and Concubine Ning didn't know how to react. It's not that sons cannot be born, but if they all have daughters, it will affect Yinhu's future. What can they do?

Li Xie hurried back to the capital, it was already late December, and everyone in the Wolf Warriors team had gone home for a holiday, this time for about 20 days, after the Lantern Festival in the next year, waiting for his notice.

While Li Xie was washing up, Yun Yao narrated what happened in the capital recently, naturally the six little nieces next door were indispensable.

Li Xie couldn't help laughing, and said: "Tomorrow I will ask Lao Ba, if he doesn't want to raise a daughter, then give it to me!"

Yun Yao rolled his eyes at him, and said with a sneer: "Lao Ba will fight you desperately!" This kind of situation, even if Lao Ba doesn't like it, he still has to say he likes it.What's more, the eighth child came through time travel, and he still understands basic biology, and he can't complain about the mother's body when he has children.
