Chapter 1222 Masked Man
Mrs. Rong Si made such a fuss that she was shameless, and was severely scolded by her husband in front of Rong San. She was really too shameless to stay any longer, so she hurriedly turned around and left angrily.
As soon as Mrs. Rong Si and her husband left, Rong San said to the old housekeeper, "Go down and tell me that I want to rest and not receive any guests, including people from the clan."
He looked extremely disappointed with the Rong family.
……
Ever since Chu Jingqi went to Northwest China, Xia Zihan has not had a peaceful day. She always thinks about Chu Jingqi in her heart. She can't eat well and can't sleep. Even when chatting with her son, she is always absent-minded and distracted.
"Ayu, don't worry, Aqi will be blessed and everything will be fine." Seeing that Xia Zihan had no vegetables in her bowl and was just eating rice, Mrs. Zhuo worriedly picked up a few chopsticks of her favorite dishes and asked her to In her bowl.
Xia Zihan simply stopped eating, put down his chopsticks and said, "The Zhao family has been preparing for a rainy day for more than forty years, and no one knows how many dead soldiers they have trained. What's more, the Zhao family's forces are in the dark and cannot be guarded against. Aqi If you fight them in the open, you will always suffer a lot.”
What's more, Aqi has suffered a loss at the hands of the Zhao family. This is the first time Aqi has suffered a loss in more than 20 years, and it is also the first time he has been injured so seriously. Why isn't she worried?
Seeing that she didn't want to eat, Mrs. Zhuo persuaded her, "Didn't the emperor also give an imperial edict to the young prince? He asked him to lead troops from the south of the Yangtze River to the northwest, and go south and north with Aqi to besiege the Zhao family. There are two of them. Now, can’t we still deal with the Zhao family?”
Having said that, I was still worried.
Xia Zihan said, "Mom, you eat with the children, I can't eat."
"I'll ask the kitchen to make some tonic soup for you. How can you do this without eating or drinking? When Aqi comes back and sees that his wife has lost weight, I will be heartbroken."
Mrs. Zhuo also put down her bowls and chopsticks, and told Yue Jin to have the kitchen stew a pot of red ginseng and chicken soup for Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan wanted to say no, but when she saw Zhuo's worried expression on her face, she swallowed her refusal.
Xuan'er pushed away the small bowl, climbed off the chair, ran to Xia Zihan, grabbed a piece of her sleeve, her little face was full of worry, "Mom, daddy is very powerful, he will beat away the bad guys, you Don’t worry, eat more so you don’t get sick.”
This was Xia Zihan's usual excuse to coax their brothers to eat, but Xuan'er was eager to learn and sell it.
The third child took a big bowl of rice, wiped his greasy mouth, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will ask the people on the top floor of the world to check the details of the Zhao family. No matter how powerful the Zhao family is, eldest brother You should have some idea in mind.”
"Yes, you also have the No. 1 in the world, the No. 1 intelligence station in the world, I actually forgot about it." The chief on the first floor.
"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. The people on the top floor of the world were sent by eldest brother to investigate another matter last time. Now if we want to investigate the Zhao family's affairs, we have to recall some people." The third child said again without any worry. He asked the maid to serve him a bowl of soup.
After finishing the soup, he went to the room with a speed that made Xia Zihan want to kick him, wrote a letter, and sent it to the first floor in the world.
However, their speed was still a bit slow. Before Chu Jingqi led his troops into the northwest, he heard that someone in the northwest was raising a flag to rebel. With their large number of people, they captured five cities in a row.
The northwest has a small population and a vast land, with only a dozen cities in total. Now, in just a few days, half of it was taken away by the Zhao family. Both Chu Jingqi and the emperor were shocked when they heard the news.
The emperor angrily ordered Chu Xuanyu, "Send additional troops and horses to the northwest. Tell Aqi that I must have the head of the Zhao family boss to see you."
Chu Jingqi did not bring many troops to the Northwest this time. There were only two thousand people inside and outside, including himself. However, the Zhao family has now captured five cities, and the number of people is more than ten times the number of people brought by Chu Jingqi. Let alone two thousand people, even 20,000 troops and horses may not be able to match the Zhao family.
Although the Chu family's army is powerful, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot be as powerful as the dead soldiers specially trained by the Zhao family.
Ten soldiers cannot defeat one dead soldier. It is conceivable what a powerful force the Zhao family has in their hands.
"Master, if you go one city over, it will be robbed by the Zhao family." Before reaching the Zhao family's territory, Gan Song stopped and reminded.
"Go ahead and set up camp in the next city." Chu Jingqi reined in the horse's rope and ordered a soldier beside him.
I thought that after conquering the Tatars, defeating the Japanese pirates, and defeating the Lu family, there would be no more wars in Dasheng Kingdom.
He never expected that a Zhao family member who had been away from the court for more than forty years would suddenly come out to rebel against the court, which caught him and his father off guard.
A large number of soldiers and horses finally arrived in Xinyang County before the sun went down.
Xinyang County is a small county. Because it is located in a remote place, with no mountains and rivers, and poverty, this is not noticed by the Zhao family, but it is convenient for Chu Jingqi and his team.
Chu Jingqi ordered the soldiers to set up camp on the outskirts of the city. As soon as they came, he handed the horse rope to the waiter and entered the largest inn in Xinyang County. Gan Song followed him and shouted, "The shopkeeper Yes, bring me a bowl of water and order some food.”
"Okay, here we come..."
The waiter's voice came from the kitchen immediately. In just a moment, the waiter came over with a long-spout pot and poured water for Chu Jingqi and several generals who were sitting with him.
One of the young generals named Qian happily pulled the waiter and asked him about the waiter
. "I heard that not long ago, a group of people passed by the county, all wearing black clothes, right?"
"Of course it's true." The waiter glanced at General Qian proudly, "The team was resting in our store at that time. The young general who led it was still a young waiter."
< br>
After a pause, the waiter looked around and saw that the shopkeeper was counting coins behind the counter. He had no time to pay attention to him, so he walked up to him and said, "But, strange to say, that man actually has a mask on his face." , as if he was ashamed of himself. When I was waiting on him, he was still jumping up and down. "
"Mask?" Chu Jingqi frowned, "Then have you ever seen his face?"
"This..." The waiter looked embarrassed and seemed to be scared, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Gan Song cleverly took out five taels of silver from his pocket and put it into the waiter's hand. The waiter looked down and was shocked.
You know, his monthly salary as a waiter is only two taels of silver, but with a few words, he can get five taels of silver. This transaction is really worth it.
