At the banquet, a group of people listened to Xiao Chu telling about what he and the Chongming Guards had during the rebellion of the Three Sent Cults, and surrounded Xiao Chu tightly in the center.
Xiao Chu also became more and more excited as he spoke, and he was really speaking with his spits flying.
When talking about the momentum, Xiao Chu and Xiao Chu even mixed in the plot of the novel from time to time, which made everyone stunned.
Xiao Chu smiled at everyone, and said to himself: I'll tell a story, you'll drink and you'll finish it!
Xiao Tai looked at Xiao Chu and others, but he ignored them. He only cared about drinking with other soldiers. For a moment, the celebration banquet was extremely lively.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone dispersed.
Xiao Chu returned to the room, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.
The rebellion of the Three Gods Cult that had been shrouded for nearly a year was finally over, and Xiao Chu sighed long.
"What a pity that Lord Chen is so honest!"
Xiao Chu said in his mouth.
Sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Xiao Chu thought to himself in his heart, it seems that he still needs to plan well in the future.
He believed that one day, they would come into the capital, and eventually, the mother and son would recognize each other...
After the celebration banquet, Xiao Chu originally wanted to rush back to Dingyuan County, but was left by Xiao Tai. He said bluntly that Xiang Shengshang had asked for a reward for him, and that Xiao Chu must wait until the imperial edict was delivered before leaving.
Xiao Chu could not resist Xiao Tai, and with the help of Jiang Hongyi and others, Xiao Chu stayed there, just to send a letter to the family to tell them everything was fine.
However, Xiao Chu had some purpose in staying. It would be impossible to open his restaurant in Dingyuan County. He took this opportunity to open the branch to Huaiyuan Province. At that time, will he still make money every day?
During this period, Jiang Hongyi was able to chat with Xiao Chu more and more. He felt that every time he chatted with Xiao Chu, he could gain something. Although this little guy was not very old, he could grasp it every time.
The rhythm of chat brings the topic into his thinking.
This is a kind of ability!
However, this also reflects this little guy's superb social skills.
After a period of exchange, Jiang Hongyi had a deeper understanding of Xiao Chu and was even more amazed by Xiao Chu. He really could not have imagined that a child could do such a thing. Xiao Chu really deserved the word "child prodigy".
After a while, Jiang Hongyi and Xiao Chu tend to become "hometown friends".
However, although Jiang Hongyi and Xiao Chu's relationship is getting better and better, when facing Xiao Tai, Jiang Hongyi still has a dissatisfied expression. He has no respect for Xiao Tai, and even his attitude is not as good as his own.
The subordinates are kind.
This made Xiao Chu unable to understand. After all, Xiao Tai was also a dignified Duke of Anguo. Where did the general who fought on the battlefield offend Jiang Hongyi?
Moreover, judging from the contact between Xiao Chu and Jiang Hongyi over the past few days, Jiang Hongyi is definitely a open-minded person, not a petty person. So why is he unhappy when he sees Xiao Tai?
Xiao Chu couldn't figure it out.
But Xiao Chu didn't know how to ask Jiang Hongyi directly about this kind of thing. Although their relationship is not ordinary now, Xiao Chu is not a gossiper, and he is not so interested in things he shouldn't know.
ask.
January passed quietly.
The imperial edict that had been waiting for a long time arrived as scheduled.
Today, the priest was surprised to hear what Xiao Chu did during the rebellion of the Three Gods. He immediately issued an order to bring Xiao Tai back to the capital and see the prodigy in person.
The rest of the people were rewarded.
At this time, everyone was not only admiring her, but also feeling a little envious.
You know, how glorious it would be to be summoned by the current saint?
If the emperor is happy and rewarded, he will be able to attain enlightenment alone and ascend to heaven!
At this time, everyone felt that Xiao Chu was definitely a potential stock. It seems that he would find an opportunity to get along with this little guy in the future, and he thought he could make a good relationship in the future.
However, the only one missing in this imperial edict is the way of dealing with Yue Wu and others.
As we all know, Yue Wu and others were originally from a grassroots background, but they also made a lot of efforts during the rebellion of the Three Gods Sects. Xiao Tai also explained it in the memorial, but everyone did not know why Yue Wu and others were not mentioned in the imperial edict.
people.
There is neither reward nor mention, for some reason.
At this moment, Xiao Chu was also very surprised. You must know that he promised Yue Wu that there would be a reward, but he didn't know why this situation happened.
Xiao Tai was also a little confused about why. After all, he was still very satisfied with the performance of Yue Wu and others in the war, so Xiao Tai also intends to bring Yue Wu under his command.
However, this time, Xiao Tai didn't understand what the emperor meant.
...
night.
Xiao Chu was about to rest, but he heard a knock on the door outside.
"Brother Xiao, have you rested?"
After hearing the voice, Xiao Chu knew that the person was Yue Wu, so he said, "Brother Yue, please come in."
squeak……
Yue Wu pushed the door open and entered.
"Brother Xiao, I'm really sorry to find you so late. But I have something to ask for!" Yue Wu said to Xiao Chu sincerely.
Xiao Chu nodded, and before Yue Wu could continue speaking, he already knew what Yue Wu was doing.
"Brother Yue, I am a little surprised about this matter. According to common sense, if we make such great contributions, the emperor will definitely reward us. Moreover, the Duke of the State has also told me about this matter. He has already made a special decision in the memorial.
I mentioned these things, but I don’t know why this kind of thing happened.” Xiao Chu said slowly.
After hearing this, Yue Wu sighed and said, "Brother Xiao, I always feel that something is strange about this, but I can't explain clearly what's wrong. Brother Xiao, you are resourceful, think of a way, or my brother and I
We left here immediately and returned to Ziyun Village, just pretending that these things had not happened."
After speaking, Yue Wudun looked determined, as if he had made a decision.
Seeing this, Xiao Chu understood Yue Wu's thoughts and quickly said, "Brother Yue, I know you are anxious, but don't worry, I promised you what I promised you, and you can do it even if you are broken."
Yue Wu nodded. He still trusted Xiao Chu very much. After getting along this month, he already knew Xiao Chu's temperament very well. He knew that this brother Xiao values friendship and would definitely not go back on his word, but this matter
The key to success or failure is still Xiao Tai.
This is also the purpose of Yue Wu coming to Xiao Chu this time.
"Brother Xiao, I, Yue Wu, didn't say anything to you. I know that you are righteous and absolutely loyal enough. But I just don't know if there will be any problems with Lord An Guogong?" Yue Wu asked Xiao Chu tentatively.
Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "I have told you all these things to Duke An Guo, and he also promised me to help Brother Yue. I concluded that the problem is definitely not here."
After hearing Xiao Chu's words, Yue Wu was confused.
Since there will be no problem with Xiao Tai, why is there no news yet?
Yue Wu looked confused and puzzled.
Xiao Chu naturally knew Yue Wu's thoughts, so he said, "Brother Yue, you wait for me here, I'll go and ask the Duke."
Yue Wu heard this, but felt a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Xiao, it's too late, so let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xiao Chu shook his head, turned his head and walked out, leaving a sentence before leaving, "Brother Yue, you can wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
The sound passed by, and Xiao Chu's figure disappeared.
...
Xiao Tai's room.
"Little guy, it's so late, what's the matter with me?" Xiao Tai said, looking at Xiao Chu with a pity expression on his face.
"Grandpa, I have some things to ask you," Xiao Chu said sincerely.
After hearing this, Xiao Tai looked like I knew it.
"Little guy, you want to ask about something related to Yue Wu, right?" Xiao Tai said.
When Xiao Chu heard this, he was surprised and nodded, without saying much, just looking at Xiao Tai.
"Haha, little guy, I guessed it." Xiao Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Xiao Tai.
"Grandpa, I'm here this time, just want to ask you, what do you want to deal with the brothers in Ziyun Village?" Xiao Chu stared at Xiao Tai with his eyes tightly and asked.
Xiao Tai sighed and then said, "Little guy, don't worry about Ziyunzhai's affairs in the future."
Um?
After hearing this, Xiao Chu looked a little confused, and he really couldn't figure out what Xiao Tai meant.
"What does this mean?" Xiao Chu asked.
Xiao Tai shook his head, "Yue Wu and others are from the grassroots, so the emperor has not yet taken any action against them."
Xiao Chu couldn't understand it. Why did such a simple thing make it so complicated?
Xiao Tai shook his head and said, "Little guy, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you in the treatment of Ziyunzhai. How about it?"
Xiao Chu shook his head, "It's not to make me satisfied. It's the brothers named Ziyunzhai."
Xiao Tai nodded and said, "Don't worry, little guy, I will never break my promise if I promise you."
After hearing this, Xiao Chucai nodded. With Xiao Tai's repeated assurances, Xiao Chucai felt relieved.
"Actually, it's not that trouble. The brothers in Ziyun Village don't need any rewards. They just hope that the emperor can pardon them and let them live as ordinary people." Xiao Chu's tone was calm, and then he added:
Over the past period of time, many brothers from Ziyun Village have joined the Dingyuan Guards. They have had dinner, drank and fought together with the brothers from Dingyuan County, and have long formed a deep friendship. I don’t know that the emperor is considering it.
What."
Xiao Tai frowned and said, "Little guy, the priest naturally has priests to consider. We just need to wait for the news. As for the others, it is not something you and I can control. After all, the power of heaven is hard to measure!"
Looking at Xiao Tai with emotion, Xiao Chu nodded.
With his experience in watching TV series for many years in his previous life, loyal ministers like Xiao Tai must have done their jobs completely according to the emperor's will. After all, this is a radical idea in his mind, and he can't change it even if he wants to.
Xiao Chu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back first."
After the words came, Xiao Chu turned around and wanted to leave.
However, Xiao Tai stopped him and said, "Little guy, wait."
"Grandpa, is there anything else?" Xiao Chu was puzzled.
When Xiao Tai saw Xiao Chu turn around, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Little guy, don't worry, what I promised you will definitely do."
After hearing this, Xiao Chu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, thank you grandpa over there."
After this statement, Xiao Chu left the room without looking back, leaving only Xiao Tai.
Looking at Xiao Chu's back as he was leaving, Xiao Tai sighed long, his eyes were complicated.
Xiao Tai was in trouble for many years and served two generations of kings. He could still guess some of the thoughts of the emperor.
I think this time, only Yue Wu and others were not rewarded, so they must be considering the identity of Yue Wu bandits.
If this matter is spread, it will be a shame for the Great Xia Kingdom. You must know that the formal army has wiped out the Three Gods Sects and made a group of bandits make great contributions. Wouldn't this make the world laugh?
Therefore, this matter must not be spread. As for the rewards from Yue Wu and others, there is no way to talk about them.
Xiao Tai's eyes were slightly condensed.
This time, even Jiang Hongyi, who was dispatching troops without authorization, was commended. Not only did he not hold him accountable for the dispatch troops without authorization, but he also praised him greatly.
Xiao Tai sighed again, it seemed that this matter could only be determined by how it will develop in the future.
...
Let’s talk about Xiao Chu returning to the room, and Yue Wu was waiting there.
Seeing Xiao Chu walking back to the house, he quickly stood up and asked Xiao Chu, "Brother Xiao, how are things going now?"
Xiao Chu nodded and said, "Brother Yue, don't worry. Lord Duke has promised me that you will do your best!"
After hearing this, Yue Wu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll thank you brother Xiao."
Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "Brother Yue, I want to thank you. During this period, it was you and your brothers who helped me to successfully regain Dingyuan County and save my family. I should be thanking you.
”
"Brother Xiao, if we were not you, we would not be the opponents of the Three Gods Cults." Yue Wu said.
Xiao Chu laughed, "Brother Yue, don't be polite to each other. Retake Dingyuan County. Even if I have my plan, it depends entirely on your and your brothers' efforts. Otherwise, I am afraid I will not be able to succeed.
.”
Seeing Yue Wu turn around, Xiao Chu said again: "So, Brother Yue, there are half of yours and half of mine in the military medal."
After hearing Xiao Chu's words, Yue Wu was confused. He stared at Xiao Chu in a daze and asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Xiao, what is a military medal? What half and half?"
Xiao Chu looked at Yue Wu's somewhat confused look and felt cold sweat. It seemed that he accidentally said a word that was ahead of time, so he quickly explained: "Oh, it means honor, I mean these honors.
It was all for my brothers to exchange for their lives, so I can’t let me enjoy it alone. I must share it together.”
After hearing this, Yue Wu seemed to understand a little and nodded hesitantly, "Since that's the case, I'll thank you brother Xiao."
