A few days later, Li Xiao of the Jiaodong Army came to the door in person and gave him a generous gift.
In the battle of Beihai County last year, Li Ji was tragically killed by Zhou Sui's sword. Thirty percent of the Jiaodong Army's soldiers were killed and hundreds of others were seriously injured. After that, the Jiaodong Army's vitality was severely damaged.
The imperial court issued a favor, and Li Xiao was promoted to the third level overnight and became the commander-in-chief of the Jiaodong Army. For more than half a year, Li Xiao was recuperating in the military camp while reorganizing his team and recruiting new soldiers.
Today, Li Xiao has lost all his youthfulness, and his handsome face is now more determined and steady.
King Beihai came out in person and said cheerfully: "General Li came in person to send congratulatory gifts. He is really thoughtful."
Li Xiao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The Beihai Palace has a pair of dragons and phoenixes. It's such a great joy. I only regret that I found out too late."
Li Xiao was able to successfully take over the Jiaodong Army, and Xu Jing in the capital had contributed a lot. Li Xiao knew it well and was particularly close to the Beihai Palace.
The King of Beihai specially left Li Xiao for lunch, and also asked his future son-in-law Zheng Xuanqing to come over and accompany him.
Zheng Xuanqing and Li Xiao had a life-and-death relationship. They were similar in age and had similar temperaments. After lunch, Zheng Xuanqing winked at Li Xiao and said, "Since General Li has come to Beihai County, why not stay for a few days?"
, I will accompany General Li around."
Li Xiao entered Wang Wei's boudoir and hugged her tightly.
Li Xiao laughed: "Don't you brag about working diligently every day? Does General Zheng have any dissatisfaction?"
Li Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red and he fell silent.
Seeing his appearance, Zheng Xuanqing knew that he was thinking of his brother who died tragically, and felt pity in his heart. He comforted him in a low voice: "Zhou Sui was cut to pieces by a thousand knives, and he will have to go to eighteen levels of hell after his death. Brother Li should also feel at ease in heaven."
Yes. Maybe Brother Li has been reincarnated as a human being again."
Zheng Xuanqing grinned: "I can't be satisfied with my son. My father has always disliked me since he was a child. He always scolds me when we meet."
A familiar pretty face appeared in front of him and smiled brightly at him.
Dozens of soldiers watched eagerly inside and outside the alley, each with a fierce look on his face, which made ordinary people tremble with fear.
Li Xiao subconsciously took over the conversation: "My eldest brother is the same."
The maid Ding Xiang hurriedly went to close the door, and then took two brothers Wang Dalang and Wang Erlang to the house.
Zheng Xuanqing changed the subject very cooperatively: "The Crown Prince and I have been exchanging letters. Two days ago, the Crown Prince sent me a letter, showing off that he has a child and is a father."
Ah sneeze!
Li Xiao's father died early, and his widowed mother and young sister still live in the old house. When Li Ji was alive, he controlled Li Xiao and did not allow him to associate with Wang Wei. Now that Li Ji is gone, Li Xiao has become a general and married a wife.
Such a life-long event cannot be bypassed by one's own mother. As a result, as soon as I wrote back the letter, I was scolded like hell.
Zheng Xuanqing sneezed, rubbed his nose and muttered: "My father must be scolding me behind my back again."
General Zheng: "..."
Zheng Xuanqing's face was full of sympathy and he patted Li Xiao on the shoulder: "Good things come hard. Think about it, it took me two years to win the heart of a beautiful woman. Don't be discouraged. With your heart, your mother will nod in agreement sooner or later."
"
But Li Xiao smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's not that easy. I wrote a letter and told my mother. My mother was furious and sent someone to the military camp to scold me."
Li Xiao said yes and turned his head to the side. After a moment, he turned around and said, "The Crown Prince is leading the troops to quell the bandits in Qinghe County. Do you have any news about the Crown Prince recently?"
Li Xiao also blinked and responded with a smile.
As soon as the word "big brother" came out of my mouth, my heart suddenly felt empty.
Zheng Xuanqing happily accepted the important task of "accompanying General Li" and went to the military camp to take a five-day leave openly.
Li Xiao was numb and had goosebumps all over his body. He waved goodbye to Zheng Xuanqing and went to see his sweetheart.
Four sons-in-law, two scholars, and two general disciples. It doesn't matter if Zheng Xuanqing doesn't fall in love with Jin, as long as he treats his daughter well.
Zheng Xuanqing touched Li Xiao with her elbow and laughed softly: "In a few months, I will also get married. How are you? When do you plan to marry Wang Wei?"
General Zheng was very angry: "Don't I, as an old man, know the virtues of my son? Every time General Li comes to Beihai County, he always goes to Tonghua Lane. Where can I ask for him to accompany him? He is obviously a fight
I used this excuse to be lazy, not wanting to go on errands, and running around to the palace's inner palace all day long."
Li Xiao cheered up and smiled: "I'm going to Tonghua Lane, will you go?"
Mrs. Zheng favored her son from the first word: "Erlang works diligently every day, and occasionally takes a leave of absence. It is to accompany General Li for a few days on the order of the prince. How could he be so lazy?"
When Zheng Xuanqing heard the word "ask for leave", he beamed with joy and immediately opened his mouth to say yes.
As soon as Li Xiao appeared in Tonghua Lane, several households in the alley closed their doors.
Li Xiao couldn't restrain his excitement and stepped forward to knock on the door.
His brother Li Ji had already died in the battle. Now no matter how reckless and impulsive he is, no one will scold him.
"No!" Zheng Xuanqing refused flatly: "I'm going to the palace to see my sister Wan."
The door opened quickly.
Forget it, I don’t have the same experience as my old wife.
When General Zheng found out, he had a headache and sighed to Mrs. Zheng: "I'm afraid Erlang's lazy temper cannot be changed."
…
The North Sea King laughed it off.
Li Xiao was also a little envious: "The prince is so lucky to have married Miss Zhao Liu as his concubine."
Wang Wei pressed her face tightly against Li Xiao's chest.
King Quan of Beihai pretended not to notice the exchange of glances between the two men, and told Zheng Xuanqing: "Over at the military camp, you can take a few days off, and spend these few days with General Li."
That day, Li Xiao was shocked to hear the bad news about his brother. Full of grief and anger, he led his troops to pursue Zhou Sui's group. As a result, he was carried back with wounds all over his body.
Li Xiao's heart felt hot, and he strode forward, reaching out and hugging Wang Wei.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and gave her husband a look: "It took Erlang two years to wait for the county prince to nod to get married. She felt happy, so it would be good to go to the prince's palace more often to show her courtesy. In the future, when we get married, we will live in harmony, wouldn't it be good for the young couple to live in harmony and love?
Even the prince has tacitly approved of it, and I don’t know what you are nagging about all day long.”
She took care of Li Xiao by the bed for more than half a month, taking care of him, drinking medicine, scrubbing and changing clothes. They were no more than a husband and wife. In her heart, Li Xiao had long been her husband-in-law.
Later, Li Xiao's injury gradually improved and he was able to stay and move around. He received the imperial order and returned to the military camp to become a general. In the past six months, Li Xiao secretly visited her twice. Li Xiao was observing his filial piety for his brother, otherwise, the two of them were afraid that
I couldn’t hold it any longer...
"I haven't been here for some time." With the beautiful woman in his arms, all the emptiness in his heart was filled. Li Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled softly: "Did you miss me?"
Wang Wei was not shy and nodded heavily: "I think about it, I think about it every day."
