The 130th Episode
It's about to be winter in a blink of an eye, because of Zhao Zongtong's matter, Jiang Mo couldn't go back this year, so he thought about going to the New Year, opening the spring, asking for leave from Gongxue, and then going back to accompany his father and mother.
On this day, as soon as the letter back to his father and mother was sent, Zhao Chaoxuan ran in in a hurry, and even the lightning was frightened by him, and he barked urgently.
"Lightning!" Jiang Mo stopped the somewhat restless lightning and looked out helplessly.
"Jiang Er! Jiang Er! Jiang Er! Zhao Chaoxuan was looking for Jiang Mo all over the house.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, calling your soul! I'm not here, I'm in such a hurry, what's wrong? Are you in trouble again? Jiang Mo came out of the back room and gave Zhao Chaoxuan a roll of his eyes.
"No, no, what's the trouble! Listen to me, I just heard from my mother that my little uncle is going on an expedition! Can I not be in a hurry? Zhao Chaoxuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"What? What did you say? Jiang Mo's face changed instantly.
"The little uncle is going to go on the expedition, and he will set off the day after tomorrow, I just heard it from my mother! Why don't you come to Zhao soon? Zhao Chaoxuan said excitedly.
"This, how can it be so sudden, where to go on the expedition? Why? Jiang Mo also panicked.
"Go to the northwest and fight the Huns!" The Zhao Dynasty's manifesto was concise and to the point.
"Fight, fight the Huns, wait a minute, in early summer, when your imperial grandfather was born, the Huns, as a vassal country with diplomatic relations, didn't they send envoys to come to pay tribute to congratulate their birthdays, wouldn't it be very good, and they also showed some loyalty, why did they suddenly have to fight again?" Jiang Mo was very puzzled.
"I also think it's sudden, but I heard that the recent Xiongnu civil strife, the Xiongnu king who originally bowed down to us was assassinated, and now the Xiongnu are also all parties in dispute, and the people are not happy.
The new king is a murderous beard, he is not convinced of us to be big, and now he is usurping power and seizing power, and the new king is in office, and the spearhead is directly aimed at our Daxia border, and even takes the initiative to provoke trouble, listen to the mother's wishes, and the situation in the northwest cannot be delayed.
Seeing that winter is in the winter and the New Year is approaching, they obviously don't want us to have a good New Year, such a naked provocation, they have to show off their power at the doorstep, if they don't fight, they can't do it! Zhao Chaoxuan said angrily.
"Then there's no need to let the little uncle go, King Zonglu, King Zongli, aren't they all leading troops, let them go! Uncle Xiao has only been back for more than a year, and this time, it will take another year and a half, but the year is over! Jiang Mo said anxiously.
"Oh, the New Year must not pass, the imperial grandfather has already given an order, the little uncle is a general, the northwest army was originally brought out by him, and now the Huns are provoking the northwest, the little uncle will definitely not be able to sit still, and he will not let go."
Besides, this has already set the time of departure, even the morning after tomorrow, and I can't change anything now. Zhao Chaoxuan said urgently.
"But, I'm too anxious." Jiang Mo felt very sudden.
"The military situation is urgent, the little uncle has to do it, I know that you are reluctant to give up the little uncle, and I am the same, so as soon as I heard the news, I came to you.
Let's go, hurry up, go to the General's Mansion to find the little uncle, otherwise, the day after tomorrow, he will leave, you don't know when you will be able to see him, go quickly. "Zhao Chaoxuan is thinking about Jiang Mo.
"Okay, you wait!" When Jiang Mo heard this, he hurriedly grabbed a cloak, and before he had time to tie it, he hurriedly followed Zhao Chaoxuan out.
Liufu also received the news that Zhao Zongtong was about to go to the northwest battlefield again.
When Liu Changxi heard this, she was so shocked that the brush in her hand was stunned, and a good landscape painting was ruined.
The maid waiting on the side of "...... hiss" was a little nervous.
"Hey......" Liu Changxi has been unsettled since she quarreled with Zhao Zongtong, and she hasn't seen him for almost three months.
I dropped the painting and threw it away.
"Girl......" The maid was a little frightened.
"All out, all out!" During this time, Liu Changxi had a very bad temper, and the maids were all very scared, since she spoke, no one dared to hesitate, and immediately retreated.
Only the restless Liu Changxi was left in the study.
It's been almost three months, although it is true that she has lost some of her temper in that incident, but it is her father, do you really want her to die and not save her? Liu Changxi couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Zong Tong should understand her, just like every time she quarreled before, Zong Tong would let her and coax her, never let her do this.
The reason why she lost her temper with him that day was also because in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, seeing her father's bruises all over his body after being tortured, as well as her father's heart-rending words of pleading, she was sad and sad, so she was a little uncontrollable.
She just wants to save her father, what's wrong with being a daughter, could it be that Cheng Zongtong is really still angry with her?
But she really didn't have a heart, Zong Tong should understand, but why did he ignore her for so long.
Although he sent someone over during the period, but in the end it was not him who came, Liu Changxi was angry and refused to bow his head and come forward.
In fact, every time she lost her temper before, no matter whether it was right or wrong, Zhao Zongtong would tolerate and compromise, she was also used to Zhao Zongtong's spoiling, never like that day, she ran out crying, he was indifferent and didn't chase him out.
To be honest, I was in a hurry when I quarreled, but after I came out, I didn't see him chasing after him, so I was really angry.
But everyone was angry at that time, and Liu Changxi didn't think much about it, thinking that he would tolerate her like every time before, but she never expected that this time Zhao Zongtong didn't bow his head.
Although her father was finally released by extrajudicial grace, she also knew that it was Zong Tong mediating in the middle.
Since he is willing to compromise like this, why can't he go any lower, as long as he is willing to come, she will definitely forgive him.
But three months have passed, but Zhao Zongtong is also like an iron heart, which makes Liu Changxi very tormented and entangled, and her mood is not smooth, and her temper will naturally not be good.
For the first time, Liu Changxi didn't know if it was right or wrong for her to persist like this.
Zhao Zongtong has always been fond of her, but this snubbing, whether intentional or unintentional, is enough for Liu Changxi to be flustered.
She really wanted to go to him, but she had been holding out for so long, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go now, what would Zong Tong think of her, and how should she speak...... Let her bow her head...... It's really hard...... Liu Changxi still can't let go of her arrogance and self-esteem.
In the study of "Master ......", Liu Changxi was in turmoil, and at the door of the study, her father Liu Ji came.
"Where's the girl?" Liu Ji's voice came in inquiringly.
"In the study." The maid replied.
Immediately after, the study was pushed open, and Liu Ji came in in a fox robe.
"Daughter, ......" Liu Ji was dismissed from his official position and saved his life, and now he has more time to take care of Liu Changxi.
For example, it was also his idea to delay letting her go to see Zhao Zongtong.
"Dad, why are you here?" Liu Changxi got up to greet him.
"What about painting? Gee...... It's a pity......" Liu Ji smiled kindly, bent down and picked up the paper ball that Liu Changxi had just thrown at the door.
"Daddy...... Zong Tong is going to go on the expedition again. Liu Changxi did not hide his emotions.
"I know, I set off early the day after tomorrow, and Nanchuan Gongzi has already told me." Liu Ji said lightly.
"Dad, I, I want to meet him." Liu Changxi hesitated again and again.
"Can't hold on?" Liu Ji's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see his emotions.
"Dad, every time he goes on an expedition, his daughter will send him out of the city." Liu Changxi did not answer Liu Ji's question.
"Huh...... Dad knows, but there are so many people who send him, and if you are alone, he can come back safely, don't worry. Liu Ji seemed to disagree with her going.
"Daddy...... You, how do you say that? You never ...... before," Liu Changxi frowned.
"Hmph, he's done that all, what else can I say, Dad? Hot face to stick to his cold ass, plain and white for people to practice, look at jokes? Liu Ji really still holds a grudge against Zhao Zongtong for the previous incident.
Although it was simply his own arbitrary blame, if it weren't for Zhao Zongtong's face, he might have died in prison, but it's a pity that a selfish villain like him who tends to be inflammatory, doesn't know what gratitude is at all.
"Dad, in the end you are careless, Zong Tong has his difficulties, we treat each other with such a cold face and avoid it, it is really unreasonable." Liu Changxi was conflicted.
"It's a shame that I treat him so well, and I hope that after you get married, he will take care of me a little.
But what about him? You've pleaded like that, he's still holding his limit, stubborn, and I'm almost dying in the Punishment Division! Liu Ji was not only ungrateful to Zhao Zongtong, but was full of disdainful hatred.
"Dad, why are you talking like that, have you broken the law, if it weren't for Zong Tong's help, you would have been able to get out of the Criminal Division so quickly?" Liu Changxi frowned.
"He is a general, the emperor's favorite celebrity, if he really wants to help, he can bail me out directly with a casual word, instead of transferring me from the Criminal Division to Jingzhao Mansion, and I will suffer from half a month in prison!" Liu Ji took it for granted to complain, which made Liu Changxi feel terrible.
"Dad, Zong Tong is a general, a high authority, but you are about to reach the top of the sky, the adults who were arrested with you, the head of the head of the head, the exile of the exile, the prison of the prison, but after a few more days of hardship, didn't you still come out in the end, you talk like this, your daughter is not worth it for Zong Tong!" Liu Changxi never expected his father to think like this.
"Humph! I'm just embezzling a little bit of silver, and I'm so caught and won't let go, in the final analysis, it's him Zhao Zongtong who doesn't take you and me seriously in his heart! Liu Ji got an inch.
"Daddy! You, you have to rely on your conscience when you say this, don't you know how Zong Tong has treated us all these years? Liu Changxi was really angry with her father's crooked reasoning.
"My talented and good-looking daughter is about to become his person, shouldn't he be nice to us?" Liu Jili's arrogant appearance makes people feel shameless.
"Daddy! What do you say? Who are you as a Zongtong, and who are you as a daughter? Liu Ji's remarks made Liu Changxi very uncomfortable.
