The three brothers were excitedly opening the gift box, and Princess Xuexi was also infected, and they were also excited to open it together.

After dismantling the county master, they saw nothing unusual. They were all jewelry ornaments that women liked. They didn't dare to be interested, so they went to demolish their own home.

Seeing that they were excited, Pei Xiu asked Ginkgo to bring the registration book over, and by the way, let them help with registration. She would just check it against the gift list later.

They sighed as they turned over and memorized that the Shen family was indeed rich. In such a comparison, Princess Xuexi was completely incidental, and they were balanced.

The Shen family did not deliberately give gifts to her because of their status as the county master. The gifts they gave to her were just right, they just expressed politeness. It made them feel a little better.

"Mother, remember it all, check it out, there shouldn't be any omissions." The second child showed Pei Xiu the register he had recorded.

Zhou Shan was not there, and his words were the most neatly written among the three brothers.

She took the register and glanced at it, the writing was not bad, "Well, let me check it later, aren't you going to eat roast duck, but also to the Huainan Palace? Come on, or it will be too late. ,Hotter."

"Then let's go."

The four of them pushed and shoved and went out. There were still two carriages. The county owner couldn't help but regret that he was not a man. It was more convenient to go out and play, and there was no need to split the two carriages.

They went directly to the roast duck shop and packed three roast ducks, ready to take them to Huainan Wangfu to eat with Zhou Shan, and then give one to the Huainan King and Princess to taste.

Reciprocity, I gave them a basket of grapes last time, and they also gave a roast duck in return.

They went to the Huainan Palace several times, and they were very familiar with the princes and princesses.

Seeing them come to the door with the food boxes, the princess smiled and said, "Xuexi is here too? Are you bringing something delicious to Bin'er?"

"Yeah, princess, we think the roast duck in this restaurant is delicious. Zhou Shan hasn't tried it yet, so I brought him one to try. We also brought one for you, so you can try it."

The princess said with a smile: "That's good, let me take a look at my son, and ask the housekeeper to take you to his yard. I'm busy at the moment, and I'll be there later."

Zhou Shan was also waiting for them, and he didn't come over on the last day off. He thought that they should come today.

Hearing the voices getting closer and closer in the yard, he sat up and looked at the door, and said with a smile, "I knew you would come over today, what are you carrying in your hands, and what food did you bring me?"

"You can get up now," the boss held up the food box to show him, "Guess what this is?"

He walked to the table and shrugged at the food box, "It's so fragrant, it should be roast duck, right?"

"That's right, a new roast duck restaurant has opened near our house. It's delicious. Today, I specially packed two to share with you. Can you eat it now?"

"Of course, it was delivered at the right time. During this time, I was drinking medicine every day, and my mouth was bitter. This just aroused my sense of taste."

After he approached, they saw that the gauze on his forehead had been removed, revealing a scabbed wound, the boss touched it and said, "Does it still hurt? Will it be completely healed when the scab is gone? Fortunately, you are a man, and it is not a problem to have a scar on your forehead. If it is a woman, it will be miserable.

Zhou Shan knocked off his hand, "It hurts, I have to lie down and rest more and use my brain less, but at least I'm allowed to get out of bed and walk around, otherwise my leg muscles will wilt."

"It is,

It's been a month since you were injured. "

While they were talking, the second and the third opened the food box, took out the roast duck, and tore off a duck leg first. It just happened that Princess Xuexi was tired of eating, and only two duck heads were enough, and they didn't have to fight.

"It's fragrant, um, delicious." Zhou Shan ate happily.

"God is pitiful, it's been a long time since I've eaten meat." The boss frowned and stroked Zhou Shan's face with a heartbroken expression, causing Zhou Shan to almost swallow.

Several others laughed.

The third child laughed the loudest, "Brother, how did you learn it, our mother is not like this."

The boss winked and whispered, "Princess!"

Zhou Shan rolled his eyes, "You can't stop your mouth when you eat! Where did you guys go on the 10th? Why didn't you come to see me?"

The third hurriedly said, "Let's go to Daming Lake to see lotus flowers. The eldest brother and the second brother also rescued a young boy who fell into the water."

The second child: "We were going to come early today, but we were stumped by them. They specially chose the rest day to come to thank us."

"All right."

Boss: "How long will it take you to go out?"

"It will be almost the same for another ten days and a half months."

They chatted while eating, and Zhou Shan could get out of bed anyway, so he wasn't afraid of being disturbed. They don't plan to run around today. It's too hot outside. There is an ice basin in the corner of his house. It's very cool.

They talked about the good news again, but they didn't know anything other than the notice posted on the city gate, maybe not as much as Zhou Shan knew from the King of Huainan.

"My father said that after the army of General Yun Hui took back the fief of King Ruyang, he went to help the captain to besiege the fief of King Jinyang. It will take ten days for the good news to be sent to the capital quickly, and it will take twenty days before and after. Uncle Zhou and the others should have arrived at the fief of King Jinyang, right?"

The fact is not as simple as they thought, they are still on the march.

At that time, they adopted the method of cooperating with the inside and the outside, letting the spies sneak into the city through the underground river, and instigating the militia inside to open the city gate at night, which caught King Ruyang by surprise.

None of the newly recruited soldiers was willing to fight, and no one was willing to fight, and they all surrendered after hearing that they would not be killed.

Before dawn, they took Ruyang City, captured Ruyang Wangfu, and controlled all the people in the Wangfu including Ruyang Wang.

After cleaning up the battlefield, they sent a team of soldiers to escort the people from the Ruyang Palace into Beijing. In addition, they will also recruit the government soldiers in the hands of King Ruyang, and disband the newly recruited militia in the past six months.

These all take time to arrange, and they will temporarily hand over Ruyang City to the local prefect for management and go to the next fief.

It was not until the end of June that they reunited with the Grand Captain.

The captain was overjoyed when he saw General Yun Hui leading his troops, which also showed that Ruyang City had been conquered, which was unexpectedly quick.

He has only recovered some surrounding counties for so long, but Jinyang City has been unable to capture it for a long time.

The King of Jinyang had long been prepared, and there was sufficient food and grass in the city, so he was not afraid of consumption. In order to persuade other vassal kings, he took the initiative to report that he had an army of 60,000. In fact, he had been recruiting for so many years, and he had already broken through the army of 100,000!

In addition, after escaping back to the fief, he continued to force conscription, and his army had already expanded to 150,000.

He has the most soldiers and horses among all the vassal kings, and he has been training more troops for many years, which makes the Taiwei feel a little tricky.
