Reverse Junhou

Seeing the face under the bamboo hat, Zhai Mo coughed so loudly that he snatched the tea from the table and drank it, and it took him a long time to recover.

"...Master Wen, do you still remember the last general?" Zhai Mo patted his chest vigorously, and asked after a while.

Wen Xue raised her eyebrows lightly: "Lord Zhai."

"Why is Sir Wen in Lingfu?" Zhai Mo heaved a sigh of relief, and glanced at the jade bracelet on Wen Xuechao's hand.

Didn't you send someone to find me?

Wen Xuechao was so startled when he saw Zhai Mo, he almost blurted out.

Zhai Mo looked at the calm Wen Xuechao and thought to himself, I really saw a ghost.

Three days ago, the Army Department of Lingfu City, Qingxi County sent a secret report to Yunzhou, claiming that on the day Hu people sneaked into Lingfu City, they had belittled a woman at the market in the east of the city.The woman claimed to be from the Western Suburbs, but was discovered by the captain of Lingfu City that she was wearing the ancestral betrothal item of Zhenbei Mansion.The captain of the guard army felt that something was wrong, so he reported it overnight.

The Marshal stayed up all night after receiving the secret report, and called him to the mansion for discussion the next day.This school lieutenant used to be Zhaoyi's personal bodyguard, so he insisted on the origin of this jade bracelet, so he should not admit his mistake.

"Old Zhai," General Jingyang sighed, "It seems that Ci'er has been so against the matter of welcoming the concubine these past few years, there is indeed a reason for it."

"The commander-in-chief means..." Zhai Mo's brows couldn't stop jumping.When His Majesty was in Zhenbei, he said that he already had someone he liked, but he never got married for so many years.Looking at it now, I am afraid that the absurd rumors that His Majesty loves his brother and sister-in-law spread among the people may not be true.The person His Majesty likes... has already come to this northern border.

The marshal then sent himself to Lingfu City to find out the truth, and by the way, find out about the Hu people sneaking into the pass.

The Marshal said that His Majesty gave this girl the bracelet of his first wife, the meaning could not be more obvious.If she is really His Majesty's beloved, then let me take this girl back to Zhenbei Mansion and take care of her as a mistress.

Zhai Mo came to Lingfu City with a heavy heart. The generals stationed in Lingfu City saw that the deputy commander came to the military office in person, and hurriedly sent troops to the camp in the western suburbs to look for him.Not long after, a soldier sent news that the man had been found.

Hearing the approaching footsteps outside the hall, Zhai Mo couldn't help swallowing.

He wanted to see, what was the background of this woman whom His Majesty insisted on marrying.

The servants put aside the bamboo hats used to cover their faces, and looked at Zhai Mo in blank dismay.

Zhai Mo immediately choked on his own saliva and almost lost his breath.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the main hall of the military office, Zhai Mo drank a few more cups of tea, and finally calmed down.

He tentatively said: "This jade pendant in Mr. Wen's hand..."

Wen Xue looked down at the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said indifferently: "Zhao Fengci gave it away."

Zhai Mo coughed twice again: "Did Your Majesty mention to Your Excellency why you gave this jade bracelet to Your Excellency?"

Wen Xuechao gave him a look that I didn't know.

The Prince's faction lost the fight for power two years ago, and the Wen family was sentenced to be beheaded. Zhai Mo led the Yanbei Camp to experience the palace change, so he is naturally aware of this matter.However, he led the army back to the northern border shortly after His Majesty supervised the country, and he had no idea what happened in the capital and how the remnants of the Prince's faction were dealt with.

Heard that the whole family of the Wen family asked to be killed in autumn, and he even had a drink with the general in the mansion for a night.Wen Shizhen, an old cunning man, has committed all kinds of bad things all his life, and now he has finally received his karma.It's just that the Wen family's children, wives and relatives are pitiful, and they want to go to Huangquan with him.

The marshal toasted that night with emotion, but it's a pity that the son of the Wen family was born at an untimely time.If he was born during the reign of Emperor Tai, he might be able to achieve great things.

And who would have imagined that Mr. Wen is not only sitting in the hall in a good manner, but also holding the ancestral token of Zhenbei Mansion?

Zhai Mo stared at the calm Wen Xuechao in front of him, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

No, it is very wrong.

Ever since the Marshal heard that His Majesty had a sweetheart in Beijing, before he led the Yanbei Camp into Beijing, he deliberately confessed that he wanted to take a good look at the appearance of the grandson-in-law for him.

After staying in Guangyang for so long, Zhai Mo has never seen any girl beside His Majesty.On the contrary, Mr. Wen often appears in the palace without a trace.

One day, Zhai Mo came to report to His Majesty about the military situation, but before entering the main courtyard, he was stopped by His Majesty's personal servant, Ashen.

Ah Shen said that the master has something important to do and it is inconvenient to see guests now.His Highness Ninth Prince jumped out of his head at that time and said to himself that Fifth Brother and Fairy were fighting.

He remembered that he was quite curious at the time, and asked His Highness the Ninth Prince who was the fairy.

His Royal Highness said, Brother Wen.

Before leaving, he also heard some strange noises coming from the courtyard, so he didn't think much about it at that time.

Thinking about it now--

Wen Xuechao saw Zhai Mo's ears turn red suddenly, and was a little puzzled for a moment: "Deputy Commander Zhai?"

Zhai Mo felt that today was too exciting.

"Master Wen, can you follow me back to Zhenbei Mansion?" His tongue was tied, "Lingfu is close to Saibei, and there are often winds and sands on weekdays. If you are not used to living in Daying in the western suburbs, it is not impossible to move to Yunzhou for a long time .”

Wen Xuechao gave a low laugh, and shook his head: "Wen Mou is supposed to be a criminal, and he is not allowed to leave the labor camp for nothing. I appreciate the general's kindness."

Zhai Mo felt that Wen Xuechao was a little abnormal today, and he couldn't say where the abnormality was.

After a while, he heard Wen Xuechao ask, "How is Zhao Fengci?"

In the whole world, I am afraid that only this person in front of me dares to call the holy name directly.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health, and the government and people are harmonious, which is a sign of great rule." Zhai Mo paused, "However, Your Majesty has not yet married a concubine, and there is no heir in the palace."

Wen Xuechao nodded, with no expression on her face.

Zhai Mo didn't know how to respond, so he asked about the situation when the Hu people made trouble in the market.Wen Xuechao told Zhai Mo one by one what he saw and heard that day, but when he mentioned Yuchi Jing, he lost his mind for a moment and didn't say these three words.

When Zhai Mo heard that Xue Chao was about to reveal the name of the mastermind, but stopped halfway, he felt a little puzzled.Seeing Wen Xuechao staring straight ahead in a daze, he got up and walked up to Wen Xuechao, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes: "Master Wen?"

Wen Xuechao ignored him, but slowly lowered her head and covered her forehead.

Those deep blue eyes gazed at him tenderly, Yu Chijing put down the longbow in his hand, and stroked his side cheeks gently.

"Didn't you say you should wait for me obediently?" Yu Chijing sighed, "Be obedient."

"Get out." Wen Xuechao gritted his teeth, "Get out of my mind!"

Zhai Mo didn't know why Lord Wen was suddenly furious, so he could only take a step back.

Wen Xue's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and she exuded an aura that no one should get close to.Zhai Mo hesitated for a while, and was about to go out to call the doctor, but heard Wen Xuechao's hoarse voice: "General Zhai, I'm not sorry for you."

Although Wen Xuechao was not feeling well, he insisted on going back to the big tent in the western suburbs first.It was not easy for Zhai Mo to stop him, so he could only send him back to the quarry before he left, and specifically asked the Lingfu Military Department to take care of him more.

Zhai Mo settled down the military affairs of Lingfu City, and then inspected the border defense of Pingcheng Pass.It took half a month in Qingxi County to return to Yunzhou.

As soon as he returned to Zhenbei Mansion, he saw figures and bright lights in the mansion.

The door of the Marshal's study room was wide open, and several generals of the Zhenbei Army stood in the study room. Seeing Zhai Mo walk into the room, they turned around and looked at him together.

"What's the matter?" Zhai Mo wondered.

Jing Yanglin rubbed the center of his brows, seeming to have a headache.He pointed to the table and signaled Zhai Mo to come forward and have a look.

There was a notebook on the case, and Zhai Mo recognized it at a glance. This is the letter written by the marshal himself, and he wrote to His Majesty the whole story of the Chen Shuyu bracelet.

The booklet is covered with eight treasure ink pads, and a line of small Zhu Zhu characters are impressively listed at the end.

"Ask someone to get ready, and I will leave the city at the end of the day to welcome the holy driver." Jing Yanglin said to Zhai Mo.

Zhai Mo: "...Yes."

*****

Zhao Fengci said that he would go north in person, but Yang Shuyue thought he was going to conquer personally, and brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses with him to destroy the Yanqu tribe.

Until the eve of his departure, Bai Wan came to look for him outside the palace, and threw him some brocade robes with wrought patterns, saying that he had to prepare them first, as they would be needed on the road.

"Aren't we going north with the army?" Yang Shuyue asked Bai Wan.

"Who told you about the army?" Bai Wan laughed, "This trip is to rescue people, not to fight. If you don't count the elite Habayashi guards who secretly escorted you, the emperor, you, me, the three of us, There's no one else."

Bai Wan also asked why the emperor didn't send troops to attack directly.

The emperor said that the Yanqu Department did not take action this time, if the imperial court sent troops without authorization, it might force Yuchi and his son to take risks and do irreversible things.When he was young, he sneaked into the barbarian camp several times, and he knew a lot about the interior of the Yanqu tribe than ordinary people.

"Besides, if he really led the army to press over, Wen Yu would have already run away." Zhao Fengci shook his head and smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid I'll scare him."

Yang Shuyue has always trusted Zhao Fengci, knowing that he has his own considerations and arrangements.He didn't worry too much, he just clamored to go to Kaiyuan Temple overnight, pray to God and Buddha for Zhao Yancheng, and bless the trip to be as satisfactory as he wanted.

In the early morning of the next day, a northbound caravan came out from the north city gate, and dozens of carriages carrying goods drove up the official road.There was the sound of branches rubbing against each other in the woods, and several black figures flitted across the branches, followed the direction of the carriage, and disappeared into the depths of the woods.

Yandang Pass was on guard across the board, and the generals of Zhenbei Mansion greeted the holy driver nervously for a few days in Yunzhou, but only welcomed a caravan heading north.In the caravan was only Bai Wan, the governor of the Habayashi Guard, with a handsome but worried little doctor, who said that he was following the order of the Holy Lord, and came to discuss with the Zhenbei Army a plan to rescue the King of the East China Sea.

As for the emperor himself, he had already disappeared with the leading white horse in the caravan.

Zhao Fengci had estimated the itinerary.If you drive fast day and night from Yunzhou, you can arrive at the area under the jurisdiction of Qingxi County within two days.Lingfu City is located in the northwest of Qingxi County. It takes half a day to walk around the official road from the county mansion to enter the city.

The Bingtao under him was also very spiritual, running wildly in the direction of Qingxi County.

The moon in the north is clear and cold, and the brilliance sprinkles the vast grassland.

Lingfu City was close at hand, and Zhao Fengci could see the low and old city walls and dilapidated stone yards outside the city from a distance.Bing Tao slowed down and stopped in front of the camp in the western suburbs.

He had thought that he would be ecstatic, hysterical, and unable to control the chaotic and out-of-control emotions.

But he didn't expect that the majestic king of a country would one day stop because of timidity.

The guards at the stone field saw a handsome young man on a white horse wandering back and forth in front of the gate, and thought it was a soldier from the military administration who came to inspect the camp again.

The guard rubbed his astringent eyes: "Master, do you have something important to do with the battalion commander?"

Zhao Fengci reined in the horse's head, and took out the token of Zhenbei Mansion from his arms: "Please introduce me."

The guard took the token, identified it correctly and handed it back to Zhao Fengci, put on his outer shirt and went into the big tent to search for the person.

In the dead of night in the western suburbs, Zhao Fengci heard his own heart beating like a drum.Again and again, hitting the entire chest cavity.

Back then, when the lonely prince who had just entered the study room was waiting for the eldest young master of the Wen family to look back, he also had such a heartbeat.

From nowhere, there was a burst of juvenile laughter, and someone lifted the curtain and walked out from a small tent in the corner.

Zhao Fengci stared at the person who came out of the curtain, his pupils constricted.He knew this person, this was Wen Xuechao's personal servant.

Wen Lan turned sideways with a smile, glanced casually outside, and landed on the white horse not far away.

Before he put down the curtain in his hand, his hand stopped in mid-air.

Wen Lan's gaze flicked over the white horse, and slowly moved to the figure sitting on the horse's back.

Zhao Fengci looked at the young man in front of him and remained silent.

"Brother Lan, what are you doing standing there at the door?" Another crisp young voice came from inside the tent.A little fat man with a round face poked his head out from the tent door.

Yu Ming saw that Brother Lan's hands were shaking violently, and his face suddenly showed fear, thinking that another bad person was coming to trouble his wife.He followed Brother Lan's line of sight to the distance, and saw a handsome military man riding a snow-white horse at the door of the big tent, looking in their direction.

Bingtao noticed that the old master was nearby, shook his head and snorted.

Yu Ming heard the master's footsteps behind him. The master, wearing his usual white-washed robe, passed him and Wen Lan, and opened the long curtain in front of the tent.

Before he could react, Brother Lan dragged him into the tent.Brother Lan stuffed him next to the wooden table, and blinked for him to keep quiet.

Yu Ming opened his mouth, but closed it unwillingly.

He still wanted to tell Brother Lan.He clearly saw just now that Master's eyes were red.
