The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 165 Talking About Conditions (1)
When Xu Si'an walked back to the city from outside the city, it was already dark.

Chang Geng came to him in a carriage and told him that the Prince Regent’s Mansion had sent someone to look for him, and that the 5 people the Prince had mobilized had already set up camp in the outskirts of Beijing, and would soon go to the south of the Yangtze River for a personal conquest. Dire news.

Xu Si'an got into the carriage and went straight to the palace, this was the first time, he was a little absent-minded after receiving the order.God knows how he felt when he saw Zhao Jing getting into Wei Mingzhen's carriage. He followed along the way calmly, and finally watched her get off the carriage, and she stood alone in the distance waiting for him.He felt as if his life had ushered in a rainbow, and from that moment it would be a new beginning.

However... Zhao Jing rejected him.

Maybe he really doesn't understand the mind of a woman. He thinks that if he likes someone, he should try his best to treat her well, make her heart full, and willingly bear children for himself. He even thinks that he has done a good job. I don't understand why I, who is always in danger, is so cautious in front of Zhao Jing.

The Prince Regent's Mansion arrived soon, and the generals surrounded him. Xu Si'an listened solemnly to everyone's analysis of the situation in Jiangnan.The rebels had already crossed the Yangtze River, and half of Dayong's country was in jeopardy, but at this moment he was still thinking about those personal relationships with his sons and daughters.His knuckles creaked, and everyone talked and recommended him to be the Marshal of Zhengnan, but he didn't listen to a word.

The night was so dark that it was hard to breathe, the curtain at the entrance of Yutang Pavilion flashed, and the regent walked in from the door.

Xu Si'an raised his head and looked at this man who was ten years older than him, with deep eyebrows, chiseled face, and serious expression.When he appeared in front of everyone, everyone's hot discussion stopped and they bowed their hands to salute him.

Xu Si'an also followed the crowd and cupped his fists towards Zhou Yi, and patted his shoulder with a big palm: "Marquis Wu'an, I'm inconvenient to leave the capital because of my family affairs. This time, you will still lead the army to Jiangnan to quell the chaos. You go back to rest for a while, and leave in two days."

Xu Si'an's eyebrows twitched slightly, a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "The minister will not disgrace the mission, please rest assured, my lord." As everyone expected, the soldiers had just won a battle, and they were very concerned about the war in the south of the Yangtze River. is optimistic.

Candles as thick as arms were lit in Yutang Pavilion, illuminating the whole hall like a palace of bright light.Zhou Yi had arranged everything properly, and when he raised his head, he saw Xu Si'an still sitting in the hall.

From the age of 16, he followed him to fight in the north and south, and killed countless Tartar rebels in blood. The immature boy has become the iron-blooded Rakshasa in front of him, which made him feel for a moment that he was already old.

"Marquis Wu'an, is there anything else you want to say?" Zhou Yi sat down with his robe lifted, picked up the teacup in hand, and drank the tea with his eyebrows lowered, but his eyes fell on the side of Xu Si'an's cold face.

"My lord, do you still remember what happened on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" Xu Si'an raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi. He had to make this matter clear no matter what. He would definitely go to Jiangnan, but that person...he didn't want to During the period when he was not in the capital, she had no accidents.

"On that day, the prince invited the officials from the Ministry of War to have a small gathering at the palace. The general had just rushed back from the border and had not yet returned to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. The general took a person away from the prince's mansion that day. Did the prince never ask about this matter? ?”

He stared at Zhou Yi like a falcon, with a bit of curiosity in his words, and continued: "Mr. Zhao is a female class, if the prince has a crush on her, why use such a sinister trick, I will never understand. "

Zhou Yi froze his wrist while holding the teacup, and raised his eyebrows to look at Xu Si'an with a bit of playfulness in his eyes. Few people would dislike a woman like Zhao Jing, right?Could it be that Marquis Wu'an, who has always been ruthless and ruthless, is also moved by this kind of love?
"This king has never wanted to touch Mr. Zhao. Marquis Wu An is probably over-concerned. As for what happened that day, it was just an accident."

He put down the teacup and replied in a low voice, but the man suddenly stood up, knelt down in front of him on one knee, with a bit of arrogance in his curved back.

"An accident that the prince said almost ruined her reputation and life. It's better to have fewer accidents like this." Xu Si'an suddenly paused as he spoke. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi with a serious look in his eyes. "My father once said that the biggest mistake in his life was to believe others that the prince would rebel. It was he who made me surrender to the prince regardless of the previous suspicions. The character of the prince will be respected very much in the end. If the prince really has no intentions of Mr. Zhao Can you agree to the general's request, so that she will be safe and sound in Beijing, so that the general can work for the prince at the front line with peace of mind."

"Are you negotiating terms with this king?" Zhou Yi suddenly stood up, looking down at Xu Si'an, he was so brave, dared to negotiate terms with himself for Zhao Jing?

He wanted to control Zhao Jing's fate countless times in his life, but he didn't know where to start. Where did he get the courage to make such a request to himself?
