After Huo Tianxiu put this matter aside, General Zhao became friendly towards him and even asked Huo Tianxiu to pick up Huo Wenshu and go to the palace to have lunch with him.
Huo Tianxiu quickly refused: "The emperor just wanted to get the four of us together for a chat. It's a bit disappointing to bring her as a girl. If General Zhao wants to see her, I will bring her to your house tomorrow to see her."
General Zhao finally gave up, and everyone was happy to have a meal in the palace.
The emperor personally granted the marriage, and the news was already known to the whole court at the dust-washing banquet in the evening.
All civil and military officials congratulated him one after another, but the only one who was unhappy was probably Prime Minister Du.
Du Kun's marriage was originally a private marriage between Du Fu and Shi Fu. It could not compare with the dignity of a marriage granted by the emperor himself. Although the wedding date of Zhao Xingwen and Huo Wenshu has not yet been decided and is waiting for discussion by the Ministry of Etiquette.
But obviously, this is already the only wedding of His Royal Highness King Yu.
In addition to this thing causing him trouble, there was another thing that made him panic all day long.
That is, the people sent to Guwan have not replied yet. This is so abnormal that he has to make some preparations.
The reason why the person he sent to Guwan didn't reply was because that person was captured by Luo Ying, the hidden guard who Xiao Zimu had ordered to stay with Xue Xiuguo early in the morning.
Therefore, the people he sent were captured without even seeing Xue Xiuguo.
At this time, Luo Ying had already compiled a letter and sent it to Xiao Zimu.
After Xiao Zimu read the letter, his brows also showed a little joy. The person who could be sent to Guwan by Du Hanfei must be a close confidant, but he didn't know if he could pry out anything useful from his mouth.
He wrote back to Luo Ying and asked him to give it a good trial, but he just must not kill anyone.
Not long after Xiao Zimu's letter was sent, Zhao Xingwen received a congratulatory letter from Bingwen, telling him that the emperor's marriage had been granted.
Zhao Xingwen was overjoyed after reading it, and his grin almost reached behind his ears.
"What makes General Zhao so happy?" Xiao Zimu asked curiously when he saw this.
"The Emperor has granted me a marriage." Zhao Xingwen shouted to the sky, startling the accompanying Jiedushi to jump.
After taking Bingwen's letter and reading it, Su Qian'an obviously knew the reason and congratulated Zhao Xingwen.
"I wonder whose girl my father pointed out made General Zhao so happy." Xiao Zimu was slightly surprised.
Zhao Xingwen also didn't expect that his grandfather would come back to Beijing in person to propose marriage for him. At this time, he was still immersed in great joy and could not speak. He just wanted to tell the world that he, Zhao Xingwen, could marry Huo Wenshu.
Seeing him like this, Su Qian'an knew that he would not be able to calm down for a while, so she walked to Xiao Zimu's side and told him the twists and turns of this marriage.
Zhao Xingwen was eager to fly back to Beijing. Although there were only four days left before they returned to Beijing and they would arrive on the 20th, he still couldn't wait.
At the same time, those who were as anxious as Du Hanfei and could not receive the letter were the group of people sent by Xiahou Mansion and Prince Mo Mansion to intercept the letter outside the South Gate City.
Little did they know that Luo Ying had already arrested everyone, and there was no reply at all.
Therefore, they could not receive a reply every day.
He even wondered if someone had slipped through the net and someone had disguised himself to get in.
The people from Xiahou Mansion and the people from Prince Mo Mansion actually started talking and exchanging the information they got from each other every day.
Finally, they were reported to Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai.
Originally, according to the normal journey, Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai should arrive in the capital in about four days, but Xia Chu squeezed time and wanted to return to the capital one day later.
Therefore, he would stop and rest from time to time to delay.
Whenever this happens, Xiao Mubai always smiles fondly and refuses to comment.
Xia Chu saw him looking calm and confident, and he couldn't think of how he could win this bet.
Until June 18th, not long after Xia Chu left, he asked for a rest as usual.
"Zi Mu and the others will arrive in the capital about the day after tomorrow." Xia Chu winked at Xiao Mubai with a smile on his face.
From Xia Chu's point of view, even if they work hard at this time, they will not be able to return to Beijing until the 21st. Xiao Mubai will definitely lose this time.
Xiao Mubai, on the other hand, smiled and said nothing, and took Zanghong to the side of the official road while strolling leisurely.
Xia Chu clicked his tongue twice, walked to his side and sighed deliberately: "Hey, we are about to win before our eyes. We should let our Highness, King Mo, get some benefits, so as not to humiliate your status."
Seeing his triumphant look, Xiao Mubai couldn't help laughing out loud, and lightly flicked his forehead: "I think you should stop worrying about useless things and think about how to deal with Xia Houye Explain that you are going to my palace to stay temporarily."
Xia Chu sighed, glanced at him disdainfully, and said arrogantly to him: "I think you can still be arrogant for a few days. I'll spend these two days thinking about how to kill you." .”
Xiao Mubai casually fed Zanghong water: "I heard that someone ambushed Xiao Zimu on the outskirts of Nanmen City."
Xia Chu originally looked determined to win. He stretched lazily. After listening to these words, he tapped his toes and flew out. The only words left in the wind were: "I will go back to Beijing first."
The raven naturally followed closely, abandoned its horse and followed him, performing Qing Kung Fu. Han Sa was left dumbfounded as he looked at Blazing Wings, which had lost its owner, and then furtively glanced at Xiao Mubai.
Xiao Mubai's face was not as ugly as Han Sa had imagined, but he still had a cold face.
At this moment, Xiao Mubai didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
He originally just made up a random excuse to trick Xia Chu into returning to Beijing quickly, so that he could be tricked into living in the palace.
The purpose was indeed achieved.
It's just that I feel an indescribable feeling of heartache...
Han Sa looked at Xiao Mubai's uncertain expression and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, should we rest or go on our way?"
Xiao Mubai snorted and got on his horse. Han Sa naturally understood the meaning and followed him.
Fortunately, Blazing Wings was smart enough to know how to follow the Tibetan Hong without pulling him, which saved Han Sa some trouble.
At this moment, the one who was even more dumbfounded than Han Sa was Bian Ding, who was hiding in the dark.
He had been following behind, and suddenly he saw the young master rising from the ground like an arrow from the string, and then the raven jumped up and chased after him.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared.
Gan!
What does this make him do
Seeing that he has successfully retired and returned to Beijing, he is about to return home. The young master has disappeared. How can he be scolded by the Marquis
Really, let him find someone to reason with.
Bian Ding cursed and abandoned Xiao Mubai and Han Sa, and rushed towards Xiahou Mansion alone.
