Chapter 823 - Unofficial decision
The bright moon leaves the branches to startle magpies, and the breeze sings cicadas in the middle of the night.
When the dark blue color began to appear on the side of the day, the soldiers of King Mo’s army had already stood up to reorganize the army.
Lou Hongfang set off at dawn and returned to Yucheng. Xia Chu changed into men’s clothes and went to the city with Xiao Mubai, preparing to go to Mo’s house to pick up General Zhao out of the city.
Generally speaking, the damage to the closed dock is not serious. At first, Li Fei wanted to use it as a stronghold and expand the territory along the way.
Therefore, the people of Fengwu did not know that they were in danger until they were detained on the city tower yesterday.
But this situation was resolved in just one day. When Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai entered the city, the morning market was already full of people.
It was as if everything that happened yesterday had never happened.
When Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai went to Mo’s house, General Zhao was about to leave the house, and Mo Jia persuaded him to have breakfast before leaving.
“Then there will be Lao Mo Zhifu, and two more sets of tableware will be added.” Xia Chu Yingying smiled and walked into the front yard.
Mo Jia saw Xiao Mubai who was behind him and then entered the room, and hurriedly bowed in response, and before General Zhao did not refute, he hurriedly went down and ordered.
“So many steps away, where do I need you to pick me up?”
General Zhao looked at Xia Chu, who had changed into a men’s clothing, and couldn’t bear to reject his words.
Although he felt that Mo Jia was disturbed, he still followed Xia Chu’s mind.
Originally thought he was a grandson, he already felt pity for him to run around at such a young age. Now that he knew that he was still a granddaughter of cardamom age, General Zhao felt even more distressed.
He looked at Xiao Mubai, who came forward to greet him. He originally thought that the prince who was Wen Tao and martial arts was out of the ordinary.
“You kid, did you know it when he borrowed soldiers last year?”
Xiao Mubai was taken aback by his sudden change of attitude, and asked: “Last year, I sent troops to help, not for the sake of my children’s personal love.”
General Zhao stared at him with burning eyes and continued to ask, “What about this year?”
Xia Chu took Old General Zhao’s arm and coughed lightly: “I assigned the cavalry this year…”
The meaning in Old General Zhao’s eyes became deeper and deeper: “My lord and Yun Yi have a very personal relationship, and even the golden seal is willing to give each other.”
Xiao Mubai glanced at Xia Chu and said solemnly to him: “Yes, please let General Zhao rest assured and take care of me.”
“She just arrived…” Before the old general Zhao finished speaking, Xia Chu saw Mo Jia approaching with sharp eyes, took the opportunity to interrupt, and pushed him away while saying: “Mo Zhifu is ready, let’s go quickly Let’s eat.”
Mo Jia did greet him, and General Zhao had to swallow his words, bowed to him, and went to the flower hall.
Xiao Mubai followed Xia Chu with two steps, and asked in a low voice beside him: “Yesterday you and General Zhao stayed in the room for so long, didn’t you talk about us?”
Xia Chu’s forehead hurt: “I don’t have time to say this, he scolded my father for more than an hour, the bastard, and patronized and persuaded him.”
Xiao Mubai couldn’t help pinching his brows after hearing this. This breakfast at Mo’s house was probably the most terrifying meal he had ever eaten.
Not long after General Zhao learned that Xia Chu was a daughter, he saw a boy who came to goong his cabbage the next day.
This attitude, of course, is not much better.
Even Mo Jia noticed the inexplicable and eerie atmosphere, and when he learned that General Zhao was going to lead his army to the new city, he picked up a topic and asked, “General Zhao, are you not going back to Beijing?”
Since these days, Zhao Xingwen’s body has been sent all the way back to Chang’an.
Previously, due to the unrest in the war, General Zhao was also incapable of doing things in isolation. Now that the battle has ceased, if the Zhao family waited by a letter, it would be time to mourn.
“No, it won’t be long before the Shi family’s army must be re-integrated, and someone in the new city will also be stationed. Although the war has settled, there are still many affairs in the army.”
Xia Chu got up and gave Old General Zhao a bowl of lean meat porridge: “The new city has been recovered, and the army has been stationed again. Many things have to be restarted. Grandpa has to take care of himself. Take your time and don’t be too hasty.”
He knew that the real reason Old General Zhao was reluctant to return to Beijing was that he couldn’t stand the white-haired man sending the black-haired man again.
In the past 15 years, General Zhao has returned to Beijing three times in total. The first time was to go to Zhao Lansheng’s funeral, the second time to propose marriage to Zhao Xingwen, and the third time to return to Beijing to pacify the chaos.
For him, the capital should be a sad place.
Mo Jia’s remarks are not malicious, he just thinks that General Zhao is getting old and the frontier is peaceful now, and he should return to Beijing to enjoy the happiness.
Although the news of Zhao Xingwen’s death was well known in the capital, it was not widely publicized in the military.
Therefore, Mojia still doesn’t know anything about this matter.
He didn’t know why he just picked up a topic, originally thought it was a good thing, but after asking, the previous weird atmosphere was much better, but then there was a sad atmosphere, so he didn’t dare to continue any more. Word.
In the meal time that followed, only General Zhao and Xia Chu were left with a deep love and warm words.
After breakfast, although Old General Zhao asked Mo Jia to stop, he respectfully followed behind and sent a group of three people out of the city before leaving.
The Zhao family’s army was already ready to go. They were waiting outside the city. Before leaving, General Zhao led Xiao Mubai and said a few words. Xia Chu was sent away, so he had to go to the army to meet Yan Jianghong and Deng Qizhong. , Shan Xiangpeng said goodbye.
After Zhao Jiajun left, Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai got on their horses, followed by Han Sa, Raven, Su Qianan and Wuma Huacai.
As for Bian Ding, he naturally retreated to the dark place. Fortunately, Jiang Yan and others accompanied him to follow him secretly, so it was not lonely.
“What did grandpa say to you alone?” Xia Chu asked curiously at Xiao Mubai. She and Xiao Mubai’s horses were slightly faster, and the other four were behind.
“For the entrustment of the grandson-in-law.” Xiao Mubai replied quite naturally, but Xia Chu didn’t believe it at all.
“If you ask me, will you deliberately let me go?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m afraid you’re shy.” Xiao Mubai laughed.
General Zhao and General Qiao were also outside a leaky tea shed on the official road between Qidan and Yucheng, and the cold wind blew through the afternoon together.
Naturally, he was well aware of the plans of the two emperors.
Before this incident, it had nothing to do with Xia Chu, but now that General Zhao learned that Xia Chu was originally a daughter, he inevitably remembered a golden sentence from the emperor back then.
The matter of bullying the king can be turned into a small matter and a trivial matter.
But the emperor had personally promised that if Zhao Lan gave birth to a girl, the prince he chose in the future would be the crown princess.
In fact, it was already decided that if Xia Chu was a female baby, she would be Xiao Mubai’s appointed crown princess, so that they would grow up with childhood sweethearts without any guesses.
