Xiao Yanjun saw General Zhao coming far away, and felt relieved.
According to the dignity, he should be the first to greet them.
But the entrance of Shili Pavilion was only so big, and the other three people stood up and walked towards the entrance of the pavilion at the same time. They blocked the entrance so tightly that Xiao Yanjun couldn't squeeze out at all.
It wasn't until the three of them got out of the pavilion first that Xiao Yanjun took two steps to go around and went forward to greet General Zhao: "Thank you for your hard work, General Zhao. My father specially sent me to greet you here." welcome."
At this time, General Zhao didn't know about the quarrel between him and Xia Chu. What he knew about Xiao Yanjun and Xia Chu was news reported by Beijing.
One is that Xia Chu lost face when he entered the palace for the first time, and the other is that Xia Chuwen from Yuanxiao Lantern Market got the better of him and even made him lose face.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that his grandson bullied him.
Therefore, General Zhao's attitude towards him was quite gentle: "His Royal Highness King Yu has grown so big in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, you don't look like the emperor. You only have the appearance of your mother and concubine to be so outstanding."
Xiao Yanjun originally thought that General Zhao might not have a good face towards him because of his relationship with Lord Xiahou.
I never thought that he would be so kind and cheerful.
Compared with the cold looks he had received this morning, it was like a breath of fresh air. Xiao Yanjun couldn't help but laugh sincerely and said to General Zhao, "You are the only one who dares to say that, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yanjun was naturally handsome, and this smile that came from the heart looked even more sincere and magnificent.
Old General Zhao glanced at Lord Xiahou and sneered with a solemn expression: "That old fox must be brave too."
Xia Houye had to put on a smile even after being scolded. He respectfully stepped forward and saluted, saying, "My father-in-law, you are joking."
When Admiral Huo saw Mr. Xiahou salute, he naturally followed him and saluted him, saying, "Old General Zhao."
Old General Zhao didn't want to see him anymore. Ever since he heard that Huo Tianxiu actually looked down on his direct grandson, he felt that Huo Tianxiu might need to tighten his skin.
At this time, Huo Tianxiu heard General Zhao snort coldly, and ignored him, his scalp felt numb, and he looked at Mr. Xiahou for help.
It's a pity that Mr. Xiahou is also unable to protect himself. He pretends not to see it and just looks at his nose and his heart.
Huo Tianxiu cursed angrily in his heart, "He is indeed an old fox." '
Fortunately, Mr. Ju stepped forward in time to pay respects, and this solved Huo Tianxiu's encirclement and made him less embarrassed.
"General Zhao, thank you for your hard work. You have been driving all the way. Let's go into the city early." Mr. Ju greeted General Zhao with a smile.
Old General Zhao did not refute his favor, and then nodded and gave instructions to the accompanying officers before getting on his horse again.
When Xia Houye saw that although General Zhao had brought 30,000 soldiers back to the capital, he did not see Zhao Shuangquan and asked, "Why didn't Shuangquan or Xingwu bring any of them back?"
"I'm still worried about Han Yang leaving only one person." Old General Zhao replied calmly.
"Then it would be a lot more lively if the marriage was arranged." Mr. Xiahou sighed with emotion.
General Zhao glanced at Huo Tianxiu and said, "Now, whether I can marry Admiral Huo is still a question."
Hearing this, Huo Tianxiu hurried forward: "Old General Zhao, where are you? I grew up watching Xingwen. Everything is excellent."
"Excellent, you still don't agree to this marriage?" General Zhao sneered.
"This..." Huo Tianxiu said this for a long time, but couldn't hold back any other words. He froze there for a moment, and cursed at Mr. Xiahou again in his heart, why did he bring up the topic here.
He really can't do anything to the two of them.
The accompanying 30,000 soldiers were stationed outside the north city gate, but even so, their group entered the city in a mighty manner.
I thought that the battle outside the city was already very spectacular, but when the people in the city saw such a grand scene early in the morning, and learned that General Zhao was returning to Beijing today, they spontaneously lined up to welcome him.
The momentum was huge, reaching far outside the city.
The importance of the people's hearts is astonishing.
After all, General Zhao is the mainstay of Xiao State, and the folk legend about him is like a myth.
With him around, the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Therefore, I worship him with double respect.
Xiao Yanjun was filled with envy, and the other three were filled with emotion.
Everyone supported General Zhao and returned to the General's Mansion. Master Ju and His Highness King Yu took their leave first.
Admiral Huo and Lord Xia were waiting in the front hall. They had been ordered to lead General Zhao into the palace after he returned to the house to repair. The emperor was still waiting for him to have lunch with him.
The dinner was naturally a banquet for the ministers to welcome General Zhao.
But at noon, we must have a small gathering first to reminisce about the old days when the four of them went to the battlefield.
Now in Xiao country, the only one who can make the two of them wait respectfully in the front hall is General Zhao.
I'm afraid even the Emperor and the Marquis have never been too respectful.
"If I were you, I would quickly pick an auspicious day and submit it myself, so as not to cause trouble to Old General Zhao." Even though Mr. Xiahou has passed these years, it can be seen that Old General Zhao is still worried in his heart.
One is because he was panicked to begin with, and the other is because he didn't take good care of Lan Sheng, and he always felt that he was indebted.
At this time, in order to relieve the embarrassment in his heart, he could only use Huo Tianxiu to adjust his mood.
"Fuck your mother, you're not marrying your daughter, so of course I don't feel bad about it." Huo Tianxiu couldn't help but cursed, and immediately looked nervously towards the main room to see if there was any movement.
Mr. Xiahou's expression froze, and after a moment he replied with a distressed tone: "My family is a legitimate son, so naturally I don't feel sorry for him."
Huo Tianxiu was teased by him, and his expression was sullen: "I don't know whose cabbage I will steal from anyone in the future."
In fact, in order to deal with General Zhao and prevent Huo Wenshu from marrying Zhao Xingwen, Huo Tianxiu really thought about promising Huo Wenshu to Xia Chu.
In terms of family background, he is a good match, and it is said that his literary talent is also good. Although he has never met Xia Chu in person, he certainly has the appearance of Xia Weimou and Zhao Lansheng.
What made him give up the idea later was that he would be angry to death sooner or later because he was related to Xia Weimou.
The second and most important point is that Xia Chu has been sick since childhood. The reason why he did not let Wen Shu marry Zhao Xingwen was because he was afraid that she would stay alone in the empty boudoir.
The legitimate son of the Marquis Mansion has not recovered even after being raised in the mountains for many years. If he passes away after marriage, I am afraid that he will not only have to stay alone in the empty boudoir, but also become a widow.
Therefore, in the end he gave up the idea completely.
At this time, although Huo Tianxiu had just scolded Mr. Xia Hou, he was still thinking about the auspicious day in his heart.
Anyway, Old General Zhao was back, and Huo Tianxiu couldn't be tough in front of him.
Above all, his sad discovery.
This marriage.
Except for him who is not satisfied, everyone seems to be quite satisfied...
