Xiao Yunyue arrived in Youzhou two days after Yuan Lingheng's wedding ceremony. The incident happened suddenly, and it was an emergency military situation. Xiao Yunyue and Nanguan rushed to Youzhou as fast as they could, passing through inns along the way without stopping.
When he arrived in Youzhou, Xiao Yunyue met Fan Yangjiedushi. After roughly understanding the current situation in Youzhou and Jizhou, and resting for a night, he rushed to Jinyun City.
In fact, there was also a Pingyang Marquis Mansion built in Jinyun City. However, after entering the city, Xiao Yunyue did not go back to his residence, but went straight to the Duwei Mansion by a familiar route.
After dismounting, he asked Nanguan to help take the horse to the stable, and he hurriedly walked to the main courtyard. Nanguan was obviously very familiar with this captain's mansion, so he took the two horses to the stable without the help of his attendants.
Xiao Yunyue felt like he was in a deserted place in the Duwei Mansion, and no one stopped him all the way. On the contrary, when the guards he brought with him from time to time saw him on the road, they would shout in surprise: "Little Marquis."
As the captain of Shangzhe Chong Prefecture, Fan Wuzhao was stationed in Jinyun City all year round. When Xiao Yunyue was in the capital, he was also responsible for commanding the Sixteenth Cavalry of Youyun, which shows that he was deeply trusted by the emperor and Xiao Yunyue.
Fan Wuzhao has been following Xiao Yinghuai since he joined the army. From a small soldier to a personal soldier beside Xiao Yinghuai. Later, he made many military exploits, all the way to his current position as the captain of Zhechong Mansion.
Regardless of his official position, Fan Wuzhao, like many of the old subordinates of the Xiao family in Jinyun City, is an uncle who watched Xiao Yunyue grow up.
He knew that Xiao Yunyue would be back in the near future, and had people clean the Pingyang Hou Mansion. However, Fan Wuzhao did not expect that Xiao Yunyue would come back so soon.
So when the waiters outside came to report the arrival of the young marquis, Fan Wuzhao was still a little surprised. But soon, before Xiao Yunyue arrived in the main hall, a voice came in: "Uncle Fan!"
Fan Wuzhao stood up and strode towards the door. After watching Xiao Yunyue quickly walk into the main hall, he said: "Lintai? It has only been a few days since Beijing received the news, how come you arrived in Youzhou so quickly?"
Xiao Yunyue felt at ease ever since he entered Youzhou, and even more so after entering Jinyun City. He spent a large part of his childhood here.
After he walked in unceremoniously and sat down, he took a big sip of tea before "complaining": "After Your Majesty received the news, he ordered me to come back as soon as possible. I didn't even attend Tzuyu's wedding ceremony. Fortunately, my Your riding skills are good, otherwise it will take a few days to arrive.”
When Fan Wuzhao saw that Xiao Yunyue was covered in dust and the green stubble on his chin appeared, he knew that his journey had indeed been hard.
"Have you eaten yet?" Fan Wuzhao was ruthless when training his soldiers and his own son. But when he looked at Xiao Yunyue, he felt a kindness that was rare even for his own son.
Xiao Yunyue shook his head: "Not yet, I just came from Uncle Gong yesterday."
Gong Xushan was the military envoy of Fan Yang who controlled the entire border army in Youzhou. He once served in the Xiao family's army.
Fan Wuzhao patted Xiao Yunyue's shoulder and said, "Eat first. I'll send someone to inform Meng Shu and the others. If anything happens, we can wait until after eating. The sky won't fall for the time being."
In fact, when Xiao Yunyue entered the city, he saw that although the atmosphere in Jinyun City was a bit tense, most of the people were still living their lives normally, so he knew that it was not urgent enough to start a war immediately.
In addition, after running for a whole day and night, he was indeed a little hungry at this time, so he touched the back of his head and followed Fan Wuzhao to the side hall.
Nanguan happened to have tied up his horse and came back at this time, so Fan Wuzhao asked the kitchen to prepare more food. The food in Jinyun City is naturally not as exquisite as that in Shengjing, but it is the flavor that Xiao Yunyue is most familiar with. Roasting large pieces of mutton can best relieve hunger.
When Fan Wuzhao saw Xiao Yunyue and Nanguan both eating their meals in silence, he knew they were very hungry, so he ordered the kitchen to bring more food.
After they finished eating, Nanguan returned to the Hou Mansion first. As Xiao Yunyue's personal bodyguard, he had to return to the mansion in advance to pack his luggage and check on the guards in the mansion.
Looking at Nanguan's leaving figure, Fan Wuzhao said like every elder who worries about marriage when their children reach age: "Nanguan is younger than you, so I won't say anything for the time being. Lintai, you Seeing that Jiguan is already half a year old. Look, all the brothers you have a good relationship with are getting married, so you should be interested in getting married. "
Although Fan Wuzhao is in Jinyun City, he is not unaware of everything going on in Shengjing. The eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo who was close to Xiao Yunyue was about to become a father, and the other eldest son of Rongan Hou got married in the past few days.
The ages of these people were not much different. Seeing that they were all blossoming and bearing fruit, except Xiao Yunyue who seemed to be still hanging in mid-air, Fan Wuzhao couldn't help but say a few words.
Think again about how many girls in Shengjing and Youzhou have been in love with Xiao Yunyue since he was a child, but Xiao Yunyue doesn't show any pretense to these little ladies, and he doesn't take anyone with him except Nanguan.
Thinking of this, Fan Wuzhao felt a little restless. He looked at Xiao Yunyue with a suspicious look, but the soldiers were more neat, so he asked directly when he thought of something: "Lintai, don't you like Nanguan?"
Xiao Yunyue was drinking tea. After hearing Fan Wuzhao's words, he took a sip of tea and drank it directly into his trachea. He couldn't catch his breath and almost choked to death.
When Fan Wuzhao saw this, he quickly patted Xiao Yunyue on the back. Only after Xiao Yunyue felt that there were slap marks on his back, did he calm down.
After Xiao Yunyue came over, he couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Uncle Fan, where did you think you were?" He brought Nanguan here because Nanguan didn't talk much, and Xiao Yunyue was impatient with those chattering little ladies.
Secondly, Xiao Yunyue is a soldier after all, so what does it look like with a woman by his side?
In the past, Xiao Yunyue always tried to fool around with this topic every time, but this time he said with a shy smile: "I already have someone I like, I'm just waiting for this battle to be won. So I asked Your Majesty to grant me a marriage."
Fan Wuzhao didn't expect to hear such an unexpected surprise today. Looking at Xiao Yunyue's serious look, he said hello three times and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time it must be a big victory, so that you can win it." Take action and return to the capital to request orders from His Majesty."
While the two were talking, the guards outside came to report Master Meng's arrival. When it came to business, Fan Wuzhao and Xiao Yunyue both suppressed their smiles and became serious.
Although Xiao Yunyue always said that he would use his military exploits in defeating the Tata'er tribe as capital to marry his beloved, whenever he faced an enemy, no matter how powerful or not, Xiao Yunyue would first put away his contempt.
Troops are already waiting outside the pass, and Youzhou and Jizhou inside the pass have also begun to mobilize their troops. Both sides are waiting for the moment when the smoke of war is ignited.
