After returning to Zhongfu, Zhong Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"Childe." At this moment, a doctor happened to pass by him with a medicine box on his back, and bent down to give a salute.

"Dr. Liu." Zhong Bai returned the salute and asked, "How is my father's health?" ”

"Ugh." Doctor Liu shook his head: "Master Zhong has been ill for a long time, and he still needs to recuperate for a long time." ”

"I'm tired."

The ancients were cumbersome, the two met again, the doctor said goodbye, and Zhong Bai found his father.

Father Zhong has been in poor health, and after arriving at the room, Zhong Bai, as usual, knelt on the edge of the bed and shouted with concern: "Father." ”

"Huh? I'm fine, I'm sick, don't worry. Father Zhong raised his hand, half-leaned on the bed and said, "By the way, I heard Liang Yuan say that His Majesty urgently summoned you to the palace today, what's the matter?" ”

"This ......" Zhong Bai hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty ordered me to send troops to attack Chen. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Father Zhong also frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Then King Chen has always been loyal to His Majesty, there is no reason for this." ”

"I don't know, it's just that Your Majesty said that King Chen was rebellious and openly resisted the order, so I was ordered to send troops immediately, and as a courtier, I can't refuse." Zhong Bai sighed lightly.

"Hey!" Father Zhong also sighed, but the words changed: "You should really learn from your brother-in-law and stay away from right and wrong." ”

Zhong Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head, but when he mentioned Xiao Yuan, he seemed to remember something, and said, "But father, if the son goes on the expedition, what will the little sister do?" I'm a little worried. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Lu Qi has always been hiding evil intentions, the last time he proposed marriage, my little sister was unwilling, and he was even more resentful, when I was in the capital, the Lu family didn't dare to mess around, and there would be some scruples, but if I was gone, it was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen."

Zhong Bai said: "That girl from Duo'er is naïve and willful, if she sneaks out of the house and is discovered by Lu Qi......"

"Well, this matter is worrying." Father Zhong interrupted him: "You are such a sister, in my opinion, it is better to send her to Qinzhou, and she should be played, please ask your brother-in-law to help take care of it, wasn't it good to be in Qinzhou last time." ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Zhong Bai smiled slightly.

After leaving his father's place, he also immediately found Zhong Duoduo.

"Brother......" Seeing Zhong Bai, Zhong Duoduo shouted in a low voice, it was because she happened to sneak out to play again.

Zhong Bai couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily: "A girl's house, like this all day long!" It just doesn't make sense! ”

"Humph!" Zhong Duoduo stomped his foot aggrievedly.

Zhong Bai changed his words again: "In a few days, my brother will go on the expedition." ”

"Huh? No way? Zhong Duoduo opened her mouth in surprise.

"What not, this is Your Majesty's holy decree." Zhong Bai said angrily: "The expedition is definitely inevitable, but after I leave, who can control you?" Therefore, I mean, you go to Qinzhou for a while. ”

Going to Qinzhou? Let that guy be in charge again?

Zhong Duoduo immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "I don't want it!" ”

But under the shouting, her pretty face was slightly red for no reason.

"How can it be you!" Zhong Bai was glaring.

On his side, he was afraid that after he went on the expedition, no one would deter the Lu family, and Lu Qi would do something to his sister because of his grudge, so he had to send him to Qinzhou.

And he said that he would do it, and at the same time as sending a letter to Xiao Yuan, he also ordered Liang Yuan to escort Zhong Duoduo to start his journey.

A few days later, Qinzhou.

In the study, Xiao Yuanzheng and Shangguan Wenruo were discussing things.

Now the Qin army, due to the fact that the recruitment has not been stopped, the total strength is close to 100,000, Xiao Yuan's original intention is to continue to expand the armament.

However, Shangguan Wenruo said: "According to the existing system of the empire, the number of troops under the jurisdiction of Qin Taishou shall not exceed 100,000, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be investigated by the imperial court." ”

This will be a charge of privately recruiting troops and horses, Xiao Yuan also groaned when he heard this, and said after a while: "In this way, we will garrison Qingshan with 30,000 troops, the Qinzhou camp, and temporarily stop recruiting after 100,000 troops, but Qinguan must be repaired." ”

"It's okay, if you don't repair the garrison of Qinguan, the people of the recovered twelve cities still don't dare to go home." Shangguan Wenruo said.

"That's exactly what I thought about." Xiao Yuan glanced at him and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for the selection of people to repair the customs?" ”

"En......" Shangguan Wenruo pondered for a moment: "Liu Changqing, this person is upright, let him personally check it, there will be no corruption." ”

"Okay, just Liu Changqing." Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement.

At this time, Chu Ning's voice came from outside the study: "My lord." ”

"Come in."

Only then did Chu Ning dare to enter, and handed over a letter and said: "From the capital, General Zhong's letter." ”

Xiao Yuan took it and waved his hand slightly.

"No." The latter responded crisply and retreated.

This is Zhong Bai's handwritten letter, the content is simple and clear, after Xiao Yuan read it, he shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help muttering: "Trouble." ”

"What's wrong, sir?" Shangguan Wenruo asked curiously.

"Oh, nothing, private."

At the same time, Jiangzhou.

"Miss, Miss, Xiao Gongzi has a letter again." The maid hurried over.

Since their separation, Xiao Yuan and Gu Xue have been in correspondence, and the reason why they have not met until now is because the previous Xirong Rebellion has not been settled.

When Gu Xue heard this, she hurriedly took the letter, and couldn't wait to unfold it and read it carefully.

She was full of anticipation, read it very seriously, and didn't seem to want to leave a word behind the letters of her beloved man.

After she finished reading, the maid couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what did Xiao Gongzi say in the letter?" ”

"He asked me to go to Qinzhou." Gu Xue's face was red, and she was full of warm happiness.

"Huh? That's great! The maid said excitedly.

Gu Xue was even more happy: "I'll tell my father ......"

Since the Gu family moved to Jiangzhou, many people have come to mention marriage, and now there is someone talking to Gu Tong.

However, the latter simply refused:

"The little girl has promised to be married."

"Huh? This, well, excuse me Master Gu. The visitor shook his head, looking sorry.

"Where, please."

"Please."

At that time, people paid attention to etiquette, and after sending the guests away, Gu Xue also rushed over, she was full of joy, and told her father about it straight to the point.

After listening to this, Gu Tong didn't react, and couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What are you doing in Qinzhou?" ”

"Oops, Daddy! It's Brother Xiao...... "Gu Xue was anxious, and her pretty face turned red.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Gu Tong was helpless, and while secretly shaking his head, he also said, "Okay, okay, go, go." ”

They originally lived in Jiangzhou temporarily, so it was easy to clean up, but Zhong Duoduo's side arrived first.
