Chapter 9: The Divine Decree

"Yes, my subordinates know their mistakes. The young lady was angry, and her subordinates went to receive the punishment. ”

Ning Zi saw that her master's face was getting darker and darker, and she hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She walked out, held the lotus water tank high above her head, and knelt in the courtyard.

The candles in the house flickered, and the white candles dripped tears. Xiao Yunmi stood in front of the bed in a white undershirt, she looked at the mess on the ground, her heart was complicated, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

The dawn sun shone brightly, and after a night of precipitation, everything came back to life, and the shouts of the vendors came from the streets, and everything meant that a new day had begun.

The vermilion doors of the imperial city made a dull noise and were opened by the early rising soldiers. Two horses roared out of the imperial city, and the two guards on the horses both held the golden holy decree in their right hands, and ran to different places.

Bang bang, the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion was woken up by an eager knock on the door. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he yawned and slowly walked to open the door.

As the housekeeper walked, he complained: "Come on, come on, what's going on early in the morning, it's noisy." ”

As soon as the door opened, the Imperial City guards walked in with their hands in their hands holding the holy decree.

"Xiao Shilang takes the order!"

......

When the housekeeper went to inform Xiao Yunya to accept the order, Xiao Yunya had already washed up. The man's sword eyebrows were starry, and the black brocade on his body was glowing with gold. Xiao Yunya had a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.

There are a few orchids planted in the courtyard, and a few flower bones emerge from the dark green leaves. It is containing fragrance, beautiful posture, and is budding to be released.

Xiao Yunya was watering the flowers with a kettle, and the housekeeper ran in with a red face.

The housekeeper couldn't catch his breath, and panted and said, "Young, young master, there is a holy decree in the palace!"

Xiao Yunya's dark pupils shrank, and he put down the pot in his hand. He took the handkerchief handed by the maidservant and wiped his hands, and hurried to the main hall.

Xiao Yunya came to the main hall and saw the guards of the forbidden army inside. There was a click in my heart, as if I had noticed something. With a cautious look on his handsome face, he lowered his head. Kneeling down on one knee and saying, "The minister will take the order." ”

The guards unfurled the decree with solemn faces. In a calm voice, he slowly read out the contents of the holy decree: "...... Beiyan repeatedly marched to harass the border, and the people were struggling to make a living. Feng Minyi was the commander-in-chief, gave him the title of General Pingyan, and led 60,000 troops to quell the border riots. Feng Xiaoyunya is a partial general, and he will go on the expedition three days later. Chin!"

After the guard finished announcing the decree, he saw that the decree was rolled. He handed it to Xiao Yunya with both hands, and made the meaning of Marquis Min clear: "Marquis Min said that Xiao Shilang is an arrow that pierces the clouds, but he has been placed in the quiver for a long time and does not see the light of day. Whether Xiao Shilang can fly into the sky with one arrow and pass through the clouds depends on this opportunity. And Hou Ye is also not worried about Min Shizi, let you take care of Shizi in the army, Xiao Shilang can not disappoint Hou Ye's intentions. ”

Xiao Yunya took it, only to feel that the holy decree in his hand was extremely calm, he smiled lightly, and the mist dispersed into a clear sky.

Most men are unwilling to admit defeat in their bones, if it weren't for the fact that the Xiao family has been suppressing him for so many years, how could he have been unable to rise in the position of this waiter.

He already has a heart to fight on the battlefield, and he wants to make contributions to his mother and sister to live a better life!

Xiao Yunya was so excited that even his palms were sweating. The seeds in my heart are ready to move, as if green shoots have broken out of their shells.

He held up the holy decree and bowed down loudly and said, "Your lord's decree, thank you." ”

Xiao Yunya got up, tore off a fine jade pendant from his waist, and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

With a smile on his face, Qingjun said to the guards who announced the decree: "I will never forget the kindness of Marquis Min." The brothers came all the way to announce the decree, but it was hard work, and this jade pendant should be regarded as wine money for the brothers. ”

The guard quietly hid the jade pendant in his sleeve, thinking that this Xiao Shilang would be able to do things. The guard's bearded face smiled brightly, and he bowed his head and saluted: "Okay, my subordinates will go back to the marquis." ”

Behind the courtyard where Xiao Yunya lives, there is a bamboo forest in the middle. As early as when the housekeeper went to report, Xiaoyunmi heard the news. She had been standing in the hallway since the decree was pronounced, listening intently.

After the guards left, she waved her soft yellow sleeves. Xiu frowned lightly and walked in.

I saw that Xiao Yunmi's eyes were clear and his smile was free. The whole person is radiant, which is different from the usual image of a humble son. She couldn't help but stare at her, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the holy decree came from the palace early in the morning, and I saw that my brother was in good spirits, but what was the joy?"

Xiao Yunya unfolded the holy decree in his hand and put it in front of Xiao Yunmi.

"The saint appointed me as a partial general, and sent troops to Beiyan with Min Shizi. Yunmi, the court Shangxiao family has been suppressing me everywhere, so that I have no future. Since I was a child, I wanted to fight like my father, and this opportunity not only allowed me to show my ambitions, but also fulfilled my long-standing aspirations. My heart rejoices. ”

Xiao Yunmi stood in front of his brother, smiled, and congratulated him sincerely: "Congratulations to my brother for finally getting his wish." ”

pacified Beiyan, but only brought 60,000 soldiers. It seems that the emperor only wanted to teach Beiyan a lesson, and did not really want to start a war. Xiao Yunya studied hard since he was a child and was familiar with the art of war. It's a pity that he hasn't been on the battlefield and lacks experience, so it's no problem for him and Min Yi to go together to pacify the chaos on the border.

Xiao Yunya smiled, and the boy was in high spirits.

Xiao Yunmi was puzzled, and pretended to ask casually, "What does my brother think of Master Hou's treatment of you?"

"Master Hou helped me when I was in trouble. Not to mention accepting me as a protΓ©gΓ©, now he still recommends me to the Holy Lord, which is regarded as attaching importance to me. ”

Since it is important, the Lord will be Min Yi. Why don't you even give the position of deputy general to your brother? You must know that although a partial general is also a general, he cannot hold his head up in front of those generals, and the generals can only observe the deliberations of the generals.

Xiaoyun's eyes flowed, and he thought about it.

Minhou Mansion

A sturdy figure practiced boxing in the courtyard, and the guard knelt on one knee and reported: "After Xiao Yunya received the order, his face was full of joy. I am very grateful to Master Hou, and there is nothing abnormal. ”

Master Min is middle-aged, but his body is very tough. Because of years of martial arts training, he has grown a body of tendons and meat, and his facial features are rough. After practicing a set of boxing techniques, he picked up a jar of wine on the table and raised his head to take a sip.

In a comfortable mood, he smiled heartily and said: "My protΓ©gΓ© is not arrogant or impatient, and he is calm. It's also a good character, if only it were my son!"

Min Yi was walking this way and heard this. The foot stumbled, handsome and black.

"Since my father likes Brother Yunya so much, why didn't he ask for a deputy general, but he just gave him a small general?"

Min Yi stood beside the Marquis Min, and there were some similarities between the eyebrows of the father and son. But the others are completely different, Min Yi's complexion is pale, and her appearance is more like her mother. With a bookish air in his gestures, he is more like a reader.

Marquis Min wiped the wine from his mouth with a handkerchief, sighed and said, "It's a bit condescending, I recommended him to the emperor at that time." The emperor heard that this person was very interested in him, and originally wanted to give him the post of deputy general. But Xiao Shangshu mentioned Xiao Yunya's father, and the emperor was haunted by the past, so things could only be like this. ”

Something to do with Xiao Yunya's father? Min Yi raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask again, but was blocked by a look from Marquis Min.

"Don't ask about the past, and don't look into it. Collect those thoughts in your kid's heart for me, do you hear it!"

Min Yi was silent for a while, and his heart was turbulent. smiled leisurely and promised, "Okay, my son obeys." ”

Suddenly, Marquis Min threw the handkerchief into the air, and his right hand struck Min Yi's face. Min Yi was shocked, dodged sideways, stretched out his foot and kicked at the bottom plate of Min Houye, and Min Hou Ye reached out and grabbed Min Yi's foot.

Picking him up, Min Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Despicable! What is a sneak attack, you have the ability to come back with dignity!"

Marquis Min put his hand down and rubbed his palm: "Okay, let your kid do it once." ”

Min Yi turned over, and after standing up, he reached out and struck at the face of Marquis Min. This move is a false move, Marquis Min reached out to block it, and Min Yi raised his foot and stepped heavily on the toes of Marquis Min.

Marquis Min said angrily: "Stinky boy, it's against you, dare to sneak attack your father!"

Min Yi tiptoed a little, and quickly ran ten meters away with light power. laughed loudly: "You taught this!

Xiao Yunmi returned to the courtyard, and Ning Kai was still kneeling in the courtyard. The water tank has been useless in the yard, and Xiaoyunmi has transplanted a few lotus plants to plant in the water tank not long ago.

The June sun rises early, and a fiery red sun hangs in the sky. The dew on the lotus leaves in the tank was dried, and several lotus flowers were blooming one after another.

Ning Yan's hand holding the water tank trembled slightly, and she knelt for a while, her body extremely tired. Sweat kept dripping from her forehead, and she still bit her lip and persisted.

A pair of white embroidered shoes embroidered with moire patterns stopped in front of her, Xiao Yunmi's expression was unbearable, and her face was cold. He asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what is wrong?"

Ning Hao nodded, his face pale. He replied with difficulty: "Belong, subordinate, know your mistakes." ”

"Do you know what's wrong with you?" asked Xiao Yunmi.

"There is only one young lady under the master, and everything should be done first according to the master's wishes. You shouldn't make your own decisions and let Min Shizi in. ”

Xiao Yunmi lowered her eyes and pursed her red lips slightly. "If you know that you are wrong, then get up. ”

Ning Kai slowly put down the water tank and stood up unsteadily.

Xiao Yunmi took out a box of plasters from his arms and placed the plasters in Ning Hao's hand.

"Go back to the house and get some medicine, and let you rest for two days." ”

Ning Kai held the medicine in his hand, and his eyes turned red: "Thank you, Miss." After saying that, he was about to kneel down and salute, and Xiao Yunmi's eyes quickly helped her.

"No need to be polite. ”

Ning Kai turned around and held his legs and walked towards his room.

Xiaoyun caressed the big tree in the courtyard and plucked a green leaf among the lush branches. Ruyu's hand pinched the leaves and sighed, "Ning Yan, will you complain about me?"

Ning Kai turned around and knelt on the ground with a panicked expression: "No, my subordinates will never complain about Miss." ”

"Go back to the house. ”
