Wishful Things

With his grandfather gone, Xu Mingyi must be the one with the most emptiness in his heart. If he eats something he wants to eat at this time, he might feel better.

The ice powder of Zhuangyuan Building can only be eaten every summer, and he has been keeping an eye on her. This year, it has only just started selling these few days, and she hasn't eaten it yet.

Sensing his younger brother's intentions, Xu Mingyi nodded with a smile.

"Okay, buy a bowl and come back."

Tianmu, who had been silently following behind, let out a cry.

Looking back at the big bird who wanted to taste everything, Xu Mingshi said seriously: "You can't eat ice powder, I'll have someone cook sliced ​​meat for you later."

As soon as he heard that there was meat, the big bird didn't think about what the ice powder was, and immediately flapped its wings happily.

Xu Yun narrowed his eyes in disgust, and swiped his sleeves to block the flying dust brought up by the big bird.

Cai Jin on the side sighed lightly.

I always feel that my husband's every move reveals his jealousy towards Big Bird.

However, it is strange and cute that Mr. Wang is like this.

The longer they get along, the more she can discover that this Mr. Xu, who is famous for his talent, always retains a very pure heart.

Just like his paintings, most of them seem to be quiet, but they are actually full of wild and natural aura. It can be seen that he is definitely not a person who hates the beauty of life.

And those who stay by his side, unknowingly, their hearts will be much more peaceful and peaceful, as if life should be so simple in the first place—sleeping, playing chess, drawing, and being in a daze.

However, why does a person with such a temperament look like he is now?

Is there something unbearable in my heart?

Or, who are you pretending to be...

Cai Jinjiao moved his fingers slightly in front of him.

There are only six days left to the Empress Dowager's birthday...

She shouldn't be staying by his side for long.

It seems that there is no chance to know this curious answer.

...

Zhen Guogong led a group of dozens of soldiers and horses, and was walking slowly across the long street.

This time the battle came suddenly, those people who were waiting outside Qingyunfang to send them off were only a very small number, and more people had not even heard the exact news.

"Look, it's General Xu and Xu Jiajun..."

"Is this going to war again?!"

"No wonder I just came back from outside the city and saw many soldiers and horses, as well as the flag of the Xu family army..."

"Where is there another war?"

"Why are you fighting again...why have you been so uneasy in recent years? Hey, the queen mother is about to celebrate her birthday now."

"Can't there be another riot by the disaster victims?"

"How can General Xu be used for the mere disaster riots? I heard that it was the Li people who killed our Daqing people, so the emperor sent General Xu to fight against them..."

"These aliens really don't remember to eat, but they have become more and more rampant in the past few years!"

But then again, why do these alien races dare to be so rampant?

Are those rumors true? ——Daqing is now facing internal and external troubles. His majesty seems to be benevolent, but he doesn't care about the life and death of the people. He only wants to stabilize the imperial power and suppress public opinion... The country that has just been settled will soon be chaotic again?

More people are worried: "General Xu is gone, what should we do..."

"Yes, without the Xu family army, in case foreign enemies invade the capital..."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense!"

Sitting on the horse, Lord Zhen Guo listened to the noise from all around, his eyes swept over the crowd inch by inch.

What he saw were dazed and uneasy faces, and what he sensed was the tense atmosphere spreading among the crowd.

In the past, when he went to war, the people mostly cheered and cheered to see him off, with a sense of security and superiority as a citizen of Daqing on his face.

But now...

Duke Zhen's mood gradually became serious.

Once the people's hearts start to panic, many disadvantages will inevitably appear soon.

And this is often a sign of troubled times.

After passing through the crowded long street, a group of people and horses passed smoothly, and soon rode out of the city, waiting for the army outside the city to join up and set off immediately.

The army marched twenty miles away from the city. Qin Wu heard something said by the soldiers who opened the way in front of him. After looking ahead, he drove his horse to Duke Zhen Guo.

"Someone is waiting for the general ahead—"

Lord Zhen raised his eyes and looked.

Not far ahead, in a gazebo next to the straight official road, there is a tall and tall figure at this moment.

Although some can't see the other party's appearance clearly, it is not difficult to identify the identity just by the figure and temperament.

Zhen Guogong raised his hand to signal the army to slow down temporarily, and drove his horse to the pavilion alone.

Seeing the old man jumping off his horse, the young man in the pavilion, wearing a fine silk crow green robe and a white jade crown, raised his hand and saluted: "Duke."

"Why is Wu Shisun here?" Lord Zhen Guo asked as he stepped into the pavilion.

"The Duke led an expedition to the Li Clan, and the younger generation should come and see them off."

As for why it was chosen here instead of in the city, it was naturally because I didn't want to attract unnecessary attention and trouble at this time.

There are some words that don’t need to be said clearly, Lord Zhen can understand, looking at the young man in front of him, he nodded with a smile and said: "Wu Shisun has a heart."

"This trip is difficult and dangerous, the Duke must take care of himself, and the juniors look forward to the early return of the Duke."

Duke Zhen nodded his head and said: "Wu Shisun should also know that the old man's trip is not just to conquer the Li clan—"

"Yes, this junior understands that the Duke has something he wants to keep."

And among these important things, there is something he wants to keep.

Or because of this connection, at this time, there is also a kind of tacit understanding and understanding between him and the old man in front of him.

Looking into the young man's frank and serious eyes, Duke Zhen said slowly, "The return date of this trip has not yet been decided. The granddaughter of the old man's family and Mr. Wu Shisun need to take care of her."

Wu Chao raised his hand and saluted solemnly: "Don't dare to slacken your duties. The junior and the Duke promise that as long as I am safe, I will not make the slightest difference to Miss Xu."

Lord Zhen nodded with satisfaction in his eyes.

For such a good boy, it's hard to justify not being his grandson-in-law.

"After the old man returns to Beijing, let's have a good drink." After the old man finished speaking, he did not forget to add with a smile: "The old man is talking about tea."

There was also a hint of a smile in Wu Chao's eyes, and he answered "Yes".

At this moment, he took out something from his sleeve and presented it to Lord Zhen Guo: "The younger generation's family has had hidden stakes in Dongyuan City for many years, and the news from various sources can be regarded as well-informed. If the Duke wants to find out something, let someone take this jade card to the gold shop of the Ming family in the city, and you can ask for dispatch."

After Zheng Guogong was stunned, he flatly refused: "This old man accepts my heart, but I can't take anything from your Wu family."

He used the Wu family's hidden stake to do things, and if it was spread out how others saw him, wouldn't it make people feel that there was ambiguity between him and Wu Jun?

And if that old guy Wu Jun finds out, he still doesn't know how to ridicule him, where will he save his face then?

Wu Chao, who had expected that the old man would not accept it easily, was not in a hurry to take back the things——

At this moment, a soldier who had opened the way turned back and reported to Qin Wu: "Fifth Brother, there is a group of people driving from a long distance ahead. Looking at the badges of the vehicles, they seem to be from the Yan Palace."

Thank you Qinghan and Hexing for your rewards, and thank you for every monthly ticket.

good night~
