Chapter 114: Chengdu County Palace

Sending away Wang Yuyan's three daughters, who had only stayed at the inn for one night, looked at Mu Wanqing's worry that could not be concealed. Zhao Xiaoxi really had no choice but to whisper in her ear, and when she heard these whispers, Mu Wanqing was a little relieved.

The three girls walked the rivers and lakes together, among which Ah Zhu and Ah Bi had some kung fu. In addition to knowing the world, Wang Yuyan has all kinds of martial arts and moves, and she can be said to be powerless. Such a combination walks the rivers and lakes, and it is definitely impossible to say that you are not worried.

It's just that people are hard-hearted after eating the scales, and they insist on chasing the so-called son-in-law and cousin, and Zhao Xiaoxi can't tie them up and go home. But for the safety of the third daughter, he still sent a guard team to protect him. As long as they meet with Murong Fu, they will quickly return to the local military department, and change from guards to surveillance.

It was precisely when he heard Zhao Xiaoxi's revenge with virtue and was not angry at Wang Yuyan's words yesterday, he still carefully sent a military guard to protect him. Mu Wanqing's heart was only slightly relieved.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who knew that his trip to Jiangnan was over, returned to the inn to have breakfast with the two daughters, and then said: "Qing'er, Ling'er, we have been out for a while. Come back to Chengdu with me this time!

I have some military affairs to take care of, and you need to go back and meet your mother. Otherwise, they will think that I have abducted you. It's just that in this way, I will be glad for you again on the way. ”

Hearing that they were going to leave Jiangnan and return to the southwest, the two daughters didn't care. Anyway, if they can be with Zhao Xiaoxi, they don't feel bitter when they get there. Soon the two women packed up and sat down to prepare for the departure.

Compared with the previous one, when there were only three people and two horses to ride, this time Zhao Xiaoxi also brought a small Wuwei cavalry to escort them out of Jiangnan along the way. As for these armed cavalry, they will also be incorporated into the cavalry unit as a junior officer.

The cavalry units that are currently undergoing intense training are more of the children of some officials and honorable families in the imperial court. In order to avoid this force, it is possible to end up getting out of their control. Replenish a part of the guards loyal to him. It is also very necessary.

It was another long journey, although everyone was feeling a little tired. But with Zhao Xiaoxi, this super 'travel friend' who has traveled south and north in his past life and this life is here, and everyone does not feel lonely.

Occasionally go into the city to rest, and even when the road conditions are good, Zhao Xiaoxi will ask people to prepare a carriage. Let the two women go forward in a carriage. Saving them from the rough seas of horseback riding. This considerate care also touched the two daughters very much.

As for camping in the wild, Zhao Xiaoxi prepared a rich game feast for the two daughters. It will also teach these guards who are about to enter the cavalry unit some combat survival experience about camping in the wilderness.

In this way, when Zhao Xiaoxi and his entourage arrived at Chengdu Mansion, looking at the prince's mansion with the king of Bashu County, Zhao Xiaoxi also smiled and invited the two girls to enter the mansion to rest.

It's just that compared with other palaces, they are more built in the palace and the like, but Zhao Xiaoxi's palace is a bit different. It was placed outside the city, and if you didn't walk to the door, you wouldn't know that this was the younger brother of a county prince.

looked at Zhao Da and the others who were waiting for news at the gate of the palace. Cho Hyo-seok also seemed very happy. These scattered houses around are more housed by these royal cronies. As long as a stranger enters this place, it is impossible not to be discovered.

Listening to Zhao Da and the others start calling themselves princesses, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling both felt a little shy. After all, they haven't passed through the door yet, and it's a bit of a disrespect.

Fortunately, Mu Wanqing and Zhao Xiaoxi already have the reality of husband and wife, and they don't feel anything wrong when they hear this title. As for Zhong Ling, he made up his mind that Zhao Xiaoxi would not marry in this life. So. These subordinates will call her princess, and in her opinion, it is also something that will be called sooner or later.

Considering that at that time, when he accepted the actual power of the Chengdu Road Jie Du envoy. Now the Zhizhou of Chengdu Road is also a close confidant of Zhao Xiaoxi. It's just that in the eyes of the court, this Zhizhou is more like a royalist, and he can form a counterbalance to Zhao Xiaoxi.

But what they didn't know was that this county prince planned this matter when he was a child, and he used to be a small Beijing official. Step by step, through secret means, let him be released here to serve as the governor. Now he's coming. Undoubtedly, Chengdu Road has almost become his solid root base. I'm afraid this is something that many court officials don't know.

After asking the maid in the house to take the two girls to wash and rest, Zhao Xiaoxi immediately asked Zhao Da if there was any new intention from the imperial court. And Zhao Da soon handed over a volume of holy decrees to Zhao Xiaoxi, which gave him another military power. It seems that the cousin Zhao Xu. I really trust him.

In fact, it's no wonder that Zhao Xu would believe Zhao Xiaoxi, because from the current situation that Zhao Xu has mastered, Zhao Xiaoxi is more keen on games. The matter of forming a cavalry is more entrusted to the children of Wu Xun. And the Wuxun family is undoubtedly a loyal royalist, which also means that the army is trained, and it is Zhao Xu's in the end.

In addition, every time Zhao Xu is in need, Zhao Xiaoxi can always do what he has to do. Coupled with the investigation and punishment of corruption in Jiangnan, even the candidates for Zhizhou are all appointed by him.

The prefects of the rest of the states were personally approved by him, and Zhao Xiaoxi only did things without asking for anything in return. The massive amount of stolen silver seized was also sent to Beijing one after another to enrich the treasury. Let Zhao Xu, who has always had a headache with the emptiness of the treasury, finally has the money to do some practical things.

This kind of brother who is not greedy for power and money, it is difficult for Zhao Xu to distrust it. In addition, it is rare for Zhao Xiaoxi to remember his duties as a festival envoy, and he proposed to compete with the Western Xia people. Why wouldn't Zhao Xu agree?

At present, although the number of cavalry training on Chengdu Road is only about 5,000, each cavalry can be described as the elite of the army. In addition, the war horses they rode were all smuggled at a high price.

If you don't pull out a battle, it will be too wasteful for the imperial court to invest a lot of military salaries, grain and grass this year in order to form this cavalry unit. Taken together, Zhao Xu's invitation to Zhao Xiaoxi can be said to be universal.

I have seen this holy decree that will make the border generals and officials fearful. Zhao Xiaoxi knew that it was his turn to grasp the timing of the way, and with this holy decree, he had already arrived. This way of slowly infiltrating is the safest way for Zhao Xiaoxi.

Looking at Zhao Da's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Okay, this king knows that when you see this holy decree, you probably guess that the army has action." This time, you are allowed to go with me, but you can handle it yourself, Mrs. Sister-in-law. ”

As soon as he heard this, the veteran of the battlefield after entering the palace to follow Zhao Xiaoxi grinned and said: "The prince still understands my careful thoughts, don't worry, my family is too late to be happy when they hear that I can go to the battlefield with the prince!" And what about the other brothers? Do you want to inform them, they also want to go out with the prince? ”

In the face of these cronies and guards who are eager to fight on the battlefield, Zhao Xiaoxi said helplessly: "Let you go, don't let them go, don't talk about the partiality of this king." Go if you want!

There should be no big battles this time, and there must be a lot of small battles. When you join the retinue and stay with the king, it will not be much risk. It's just that any accident can happen on the battlefield, and you must also be mentally prepared. Do you understand? ”

'Understand, understand, I'll tell them to go.' But, my lord, you bring these two women back. Do you want to inform the old prince and the princess? Listening to the brothers of the Jingshi Palace, the princess is already looking for a good match for the prince! ’

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew about the situation, covered his head and said: "There is no need to notify this matter for the time being, anyway, there is no official summons, and this king cannot return to Beijing casually." Let's drag it out like this!

In addition, I told everyone in the palace to keep their mouths tight, and whoever wants to spread their affairs is to be careful that this king will punish him for the crime of talking too much. Have you memorized them all? ”

'Remember, whoever dares to talk nonsense, I will clean him up without the prince's hands. ’

knows the meaning of these words, which shows that this little prince cares about these two women who brought them back to the house. And from what I learned, these two women have the identity of Dali princesses. It is said that there is nothing wrong with giving it to Zhao Hyo-seok.

It's just that in these years, the royal children can't have the final say when they get married. And this little prince is deeply favored by the two palaces, and I am afraid that this lifelong event is not even more important for him to be in charge.

However, Zhao Da knew that this kind of thing was not something that their guards could interfere in. Since this prince has a plan in his heart, then he just does what he is told. Wouldn't it be better to let this prince handle other things by himself.

After understanding the specific situation of this site that is not on Chengdu Road during this time. Zhao Xiaoxi quickly walked out of the room and saw two Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, who were followed by several maids.

knows that this kind of personal care is not what the two girls like. Zhao Xiaoxi, who appeared here, quickly let these girls retreat. Suddenly the two girls felt a lot more relaxed!

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was still dressed as a samurai, said with a smile: "Qing'er, Ling'er, how is it?" Do you think that my county palace is too shabby? ”

Faced with this inquiry, before Mu Wanqing could speak, Zhong Ling said: "Brother Yun, I have always thought that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty should live in the same house as the Dali Palace. Now it seems that your house is not big! ”

Regarding Zhong Ling's character of what to say, Zhao Xiaoxi also smiled and said, "It's not big!" The house is big enough for me. If you have to follow the etiquette system, I think one house with three rooms is enough.

The house was huge, and if no one lived in it, it would look empty. To tell you the truth, I rarely live in this county king's mansion in normal times. If I was on Chengdu Road, most of them would have been living in barracks. This house is all lived in by these people! ”

This is not Zhao Xiaoxi's coquettishness, but the truth. For him, no matter how good the house is, if he feels homeless, he will rarely live in it.

I'd rather stay in the barracks, and going into that kind of barracks is more in line with his casual character. But today, because of the arrival of the two daughters, he finally felt that he had a little taste of home. (To be continued......)
