Chapter 626: Husband and Wife Divorce

After the meeting, Fan Yang and others left one after another.

"Master, it's getting late." The steward came to remind him that during the meeting, the mistress's courtyard had sent people over several times.

Xie Zhan thought about it and went to the Qingfeng Courtyard in the backyard.

As soon as Xie Zhan arrived at Qingfeng Courtyard, Zhao Yutan came out to greet him, "Are you done? The old duck soup in the kitchen is just right--"

Xie Zhan ignored her and walked straight to the hall, completely ignoring his wife's attentive greeting.

The smile on Zhao Yutan's face disappeared.

After Xie Zhan sat down in the main seat in the hall, he said to the left and right, "You all go down."

After Xie Zhan spoke, the maids serving in the room all retreated at once.

Zhao Yutan had already felt that the storm was coming, and she stood aside with her hands hanging down.

Xie Zhan said directly, "Don't you explain Zhao Song's matter?"

He knew? Zhao Yutan glanced at him quickly, "I have nothing to say."

Xie Zhan asked her, "Do you know that you are slapping me in the face by doing this?"

He saw the problem of Zhao's shortage of silver, and he also knew that his wife did this for her son. But can they be patient? Don't be so impatient!

Zhao Yutan didn't say anything.

Xie Zhan understood that it seemed that she knew, but didn't care. Or in other words, the interests of her and the Zhao family were more important than her husband.

"The last question, you still have the Zhao family. Have you ever thought about the consequences of losing this gamble? Five hundred thousand taels of silver were wiped out."

Xie Zhan stood up and walked out with a cold face after speaking, and didn't need her answer at all.

Looking at his tall back, Zhao Yutan smiled at this time, his eyes misty, and the four words "husband and wife are separated" came to his mind.

He was not angry from beginning to end, probably because he didn't love her? Or he didn't expect her.

Zhao Yutan's guess was correct. Xie Zhan had low expectations of her, so he would not be disappointed if she did such a thing.

After leaving the main courtyard, Xie Zhan went straight back to the study in the front yard and went to sleep.

On the way, Xie Nan asked him, "Master, do you want to dismiss Zhao Minglou?"

"No need." Xie Zhan had already made a decision. It depends on whether Zhao Minglou can keep Zhuozhou. If not, he will settle the accounts with them.

It's good if Zhuozhou is saved. If not, someone must be held responsible for it. Originally, this didn't happen. As the governor of Zhuozhou, Zhao Minglou worked hard to defend Zhuozhou. Even if he didn't make any contributions, he still worked hard. Even if Zhuozhou was lost, he could still save him. Now, haha.

Pingzhou

After the peace talks in Juyang ended, Dali's blockade of Pingzhou was lifted, and Pingzhou merchants could freely go to Dali to do business. The Cao Gang could go deep into Dali's inland rivers as a shipping method, and Yang Wei's escort agency was also active there...

Qin Heng realized that this was a good time to go deep into Dali and map Dali's terrain.

This idea coincided with Lu Songli's.

Qin Heng thought that they could select a group of smart soldiers from the army and send them there to serve as sailors and escorts...

Lu Songli agreed to this plan.

This plan is confidential, and of course it cannot be said to the outside world.

Also, as mentioned before, Pingzhou now has a population of four or five million, and it is inevitable that there are spies and spies during this period. Some have been discovered, and there must be more that have not been discovered.

So they found an excuse that Pingzhou wanted to form a navy and wanted to draw some soldiers from various military regions. These soldiers first went to Jintai Village for selection.

In fact, this is not just an excuse. Pingzhou's navy is still too small and it really needs to be recruited and expanded.

Pingzhou now has seven military districts. The four brothers of the Qin family, as well as Sun Ming, Yue Shu, and Le Guicai each led an army and stationed in Pingzhou's border coastal defense and other places.

After the order was issued to the other six major military districts, each military district began to act.

The generals of the six major military districts all made it clear that they would draw the most elite soldiers to Jintai Village.

In fact, the soldiers were not very enthusiastic about switching to the navy.

Obviously, there will definitely be more battles on land than on the sea in the future. In other words, there are more opportunities to make meritorious deeds on land than on the sea, and some people are seasick, so the soldiers are not very competitive for the quota.

The same is true for the Sun family army.

After the Sun family army switched to Pingzhou, Lu Songli arranged them to rest in Songzhou, Youbeiping County.

Knowing that the soldiers they drew would go to Jintai Village first, there were five or six young generals in the Sun family army, and only Sun Congyi actively fought for it.

Sun Ming looked at his youngest son, who was so happy because he had won the quota, with a subtle expression. Only the generals of the seven military regions knew about the secret mission of forming a navy. He didn't even tell his own son, but he didn't expect that his youngest son would win it by accident.

Sun Congyi would never tell his father that he thought it was fun to go on an expedition with Qin Liuye.

Then Sun Congyi strode with his head held high and set off with the selected two thousand soldiers.

Xie Yangui was more perceptive. He vaguely noticed some differences, but he was cautious and only thought about it in his mind, without trying to find out anything rashly.

As soon as Sun Congyi set off, he also said goodbye with a smile.

Sun Ming looked at his back with deep meaning in his eyes.

Jintaizhuang Military Region

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. These elite teams gathered together, and naturally no one would submit to anyone.

Qin Sheng's approach was also very simple. He directly held a real-combat exercise, with seven teams fighting in a melee to see which team would be eliminated first and which team would win.

Before starting, Qin Sheng and the young players in charge revealed the secret mission that had summoned them here.

Hearing this, the young generals were all very excited. After hearing that the order of their appearance was determined by the ranking of the exercise, they looked at each other with fighting spirit.

During the exercise, Qin Sheng did not leave the field, but let his young generals lead the team to participate.

During lunch, Qin Sheng wanted to be quiet, so he took the food and went back to his room to eat, and Qin Zhao followed him.

Qin Sheng was speechless, he just wanted to have a quiet meal.

After the two brothers sat down, Qin Zhao unceremoniously snatched a donkey meat hot pot from Qin Sheng, "Xiao Liu, do you miss your wife? Unfortunately, I heard that Liu Di's wife is very busy recently, so it's useless for you to think about it."

"Third brother, San's sister-in-law is also very busy recently, and she has to take care of Yu'er and others. She can't spare any time for you, right?" Qin Sheng smiled, come on, hurt each other.

Third brother, Li Li's time except for work is mine. San's sister-in-law is not only busy with work, but also has to worry about the children. You can't spare much time at all. You are much more pitiful than me.

Qin Zhao understood the meaning of the words, and then he didn't want to pay attention to him.

But Qin Zhao's words just now aroused Qin Sheng's damn desire to win.

Qin Zhao ignored him, but Qin Sheng came over, "Third brother, is the donkey meat hot pot delicious?"

Qin Zhao chewed and chewed, expressionless, "It's just so-so."

"You ate three of them in one breath? Is it so hard to admit that it tastes good?"

Qin Zhao chewed and chewed.

"I think you are jealous of me. You still have to rely on me to eat donkey meat hot pot from time to time."

Qin Zhao couldn't bear to see his smug look, and swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "This is just an excuse, you won't take it seriously, right?"

Qin Sheng paused.

Then, Qin Zhao said maliciously, "When Zhuozhou closes the net, if the sixth brother's wife uses the excuse of falling in love with someone else to close the net, how will you deal with it?"

Qin Sheng was in a bad mood. He couldn't stand the four words "falling in love with someone else".

Qin Zhao saw the smile on Qin Sheng's face gradually disappear, and thought, he wouldn't cry because of bullying, right?

"What's wrong?" A smiling female voice sounded.

Qin Sheng's eyes widened when he heard the voice: !!!

Qin Sheng slowly turned his head and found that the person coming was really his wife!

Qin Zhao saw Qin Sheng's eyebrows, which had just been drooping, suddenly flew up.

"Lili, why are you here?" Qin Sheng jumped to Lu Songli's side.

Qin Zhao: I can't bear to watch.

"Come to see you."

"Really."

"It's the truth." She was here.

Lu Songli took the time to greet Qin Zhao, "Third brother."

"Sixth sister-in-law."

Qin Sheng pulled her and asked, "Lili, have you had lunch?"

"I have, don't be busy, sit down." Lu Songli pulled him to sit down, "I have something to tell you."

Qin Sheng sat down next to her, "What's the matter?" This matter should be very urgent.

Qin Zhao also realized this.

Lu Songli did not keep her in suspense and said directly, "I plan to go to Qingzhou by water."

Qin Zhao heard that she was going to another place, "Go to Qingzhou, why, do I have to go?"

Lu Songli told her that she planned to go to invite Zhang Zhongxian in person.

Qin Zhao heard that Pingzhou was going to legislate, then this matter was quite important.

Recently, his elder brother planned to revise the military regulations and disciplines. He was also conscripted by his elder brother. The new military regulations and disciplines were innovative, but after careful consideration, they were indeed more advanced.

After knowing that she had to go to Qingzhou, Qin Zhao said seriously, "Sixth brother's wife, take Xiaoliu with you and let him protect you to Qingzhou."

Qin Sheng also said solemnly, "Lili, I will go to check the soldiers." He went in person, and he must bring good hands.

"Okay, husband, our safety is up to you."
