CHAPTER XXXVI
Lei Yao got up from his chair and prepared to go back to pack up. Soon, he will go to the camp in the suburbs of Gyeonggi to practice for a while.
"Lei Yao, you have to worry more in the future. Lei Xiao said, stood up from behind the dragon case, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder, "This army will be led by you in the future, you must strengthen training, maybe it will come in handy soon." ”
"Yes, the minister must do his best to live up to the holy hope. Lei Yao solemnly promised. "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Lei Xiao suddenly summoned him into the palace, and Lei Yao was very surprised. What he didn't expect was that Brother Wang actually handed over one of Anguo's elite troops to him for training and leadership. The opportunity he had been waiting for with all his patience suddenly came when he was unprepared. The long-standing knot in my chest was instantly swept away.
"You and I are brothers, and now there are no outsiders present, so there is no need to be formal. Lei Xiao faced the shoulders that held Lei Yao, looked into his eyes, and his eyes were full of ambition, "Our brothers work together, and Anguo will definitely dominate the world." ”
Lei Yao also nodded firmly. The estrangement between the two has become so insignificant in the grand plan for the future of Anguo, yes, Lei Xiao wants to expand his territory step by step, and finally take the world for himself.
"The minister retired first. Lei Yao clenched his fists and resigned.
"By the way, there's one more thing. Lei Xiao suddenly thought of another thing.
"Speak, my lord. ”
"Recently, the concubine is going to the palace to recuperate, and your camp is near the annex, so the patrol of the palace is also in charge of you. ”
"Isn't there a guard captain stationed in the palace?" asked Lei Yao.
"You don't know those people yet, and they don't work. Lei Xiao said, "It's just decoration." I am ready to transfer them out and hand them over to other generals for retraining and selection. Change it once every three years in the future. So, this time, I'll leave it to you for the time being. It's important to be safe. ”
"Yes, I obey. So he stepped back and went back to prepare.
In the early morning, Lei Xiao made an exception to wake up Xiyan early, and said goodbye to her before he went to court.
"Hmm......" Xiyan was sleepy-eyed and refused to get up.
Lei Xiao looked at her appearance, and he was reluctant to shake her to wake up. After changing clothes, he sat on the edge of the bed and rolled her up in his arms with the others, "Lazy guy." "One of the most endearing moments for her was when she was half-asleep, delicate, tender, curled up in the quilt like a child.
"When you arrive at the other palace, you must also be obedient and pay attention to safety. He put it in her ear, and she felt itchy, so she shrank down, and clung to his arms, and he dug her out, and then said, "Remember to work your homework, and I will check when you come back, and if you dare to be lazy, see how I punish you." ”
Seeing that she was still not awake, he carefully put her back on the bed, straightened her hair hanging on her face, and then kissed her on the lips heavily, and then got up, walked to the door, and looked back before going out.
Xiyan looked at the books on the small table sadly, didn't you go to recuperate, why do you still have to endorse the books? When she got up early in the morning, Yuexiang reminded her several times that she must bring it, saying that it was settled by the king.
"Whew, that's a huge task. She said to herself.
Hearing the noise of people outside, she felt that she had arrived outside the palace. Xiyan lifted the curtain on the side of the sedan chair and looked greedily at the crowd in the city. The seller of fat powder, the merchant who carries the burden, the bronze man in front of the teahouse, the stall that makes the clay figure, the trick, the bustle in the city, she took a deep breath, and the smell of fireworks from ordinary people immediately pulled out her memory, and in an instant, she seemed to return to the time when she was a child, free and easy. But this city, which she is very familiar with, is gradually changing, some shops are closed, some small vendors no longer appear, some people come in, some people leave, and slowly say goodbye to two years ago, carrying all the memories she left here. She felt an indescribable loneliness.
The sedan chair deliberately bypassed the gate of the Gu family, and Xiyan saw that her father and mother had already stood side by side, looking at her sedan chair from a distance, but she couldn't go down, even if she lifted the sedan curtain, it was not okay to call her father and mother. The king specially arranged all this for her, which was already a great grace, and she couldn't and didn't dare to get an inch. Her tears blurred, and she kept looking hard, watching, until the last wall tile of the Gu family disappeared from her eyes.
The place where the palace is located occupies the good scenery here. From the outside, the palace is like an ordinary people's building, red tiles and green bricks, nothing special, go inside, after passing through the three gates, there is a cave.
The courtyards, courtyards and pavilions, grass and trees, are all very exquisite, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, mixed but not strong. Xiyan looked at everything in the courtyard with fascination.
"Wonderland is nothing more than that. She sighed. Yuexiang beside her also opened her mouth wide and looked at the garden in surprise.
