Chapter 161 Adoptive Son

That was the first time my father went down to the underground palace to see Yaoyu.It's not a holiday, and there's nothing to celebrate.Because of this, Yao Yu was surprised and delighted by his father's sudden arrival.She even had a moment of anticipation, thinking that she could finally go out.

She tried desperately not to cry, but her eyes kept weeping.She hadn't seen her father for many years, and the images in her mind became blurred.It wasn't until seeing Tan Daoji again that Yao Yu suddenly remembered, yes, that's what his father looked like.Just a lot older.The humble general who was high-spirited in the past is now an important official in the court.

Tan Daoji didn't stay any longer, he just stepped forward and touched Yao Yu's head.Gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and told her, "Take care of yourself. Wait for Dad to pick you up."

After saying this, he called Zimo away and went to the ground.

Yao Yu was puzzled, she really didn't understand.How can a father who hasn't seen him for so many years leave with just one word?And why did you call Zimo away?Zhao Yu followed without hesitation, the secret door of the underground palace was not closed, and his father and Zimo were standing at the entrance of the underground palace talking.Yao Yu dodged instinctively, hid in the dark, and listened with bated breath.

Thinking about it now, Uncle Tian was also there at the time, but he didn't stop Yao Yu from eavesdropping. It must have been ordered by his father to let her know.

Yao Yu remembers that his father cut straight to the point, "I intend to accept you as my adopted son, what do you think?"

Yaoyu hides in a remote location, the two of them can't see her, and she can't see them either.So she couldn't see Zimo's expression, and only remembered waiting for a long time before hearing Zimo say, "I dare not climb up to the general."

Tan Daoji was silent for a while, and then said, "There is a custom in Jiankang that recruiting a son-in-law is to cut off the family's incense, which is detrimental to Yin's morality. Therefore, before recruiting a son-in-law, he often adopts his son-in-law as his adopted son, adopts his own family name, and then enters the house as a son-in-law. Do you understand what I said?"

Zimo was silent.

"Even so, you don't want to be my adopted son?"

After another moment of silence, Zimo said, "I only want to serve the girl for the rest of my life. I have nothing else to ask for."

Zhao Yu can still clearly recall that she heard her father's long voice of regret in the dark.At that time, she didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but she understood one thing, Zimo didn't want to join the Tan family.

Later, she learned from Jiao Niang that being a married woman is not a very honorable thing for a man.I also understood why Zimo refused in the first place.

Perhaps at that time, Yao Yu vaguely knew that one day Zimo would marry a wife and have children and leave him.It was only when she saw the prostitute next to Zimo that this idea really clearly appeared in her mind, and she had to look directly and think about what to do.

Zimo had just told her that he would be with her all his life.Yao Yu thought Zimo had changed his mind, but Zimo still refused.

Yao Yu stared blankly at the small incense burner on the desk.She thought she had figured out many things, but when she turned around, she found that her mind was still confused.

Zimo obviously didn't want Yao Yu to think about it any further, so he interrupted Yao Yu's thoughts and said, "The reason why I have gotten closer to the leaders of other battalions in the past few days is actually because I want to get news from my master earlier than Tuoba Tao ...I'm not sure if Tuoba Tao is the hero of the world that the master is looking for. If he is, and the master asked you to marry him and become his helper, what do you want?"

Yao Yu raised her head in a daze and looked at Zimo. Before her mind could figure out the previous question, Zimo threw her another hot potato.What is she going to do?
Zimo sighed softly, "In short, since you have no intention of marrying Tuoba Tao, we can't take the risk of letting our master and Tuoba Tao meet. When the Ding Zhongjun arrives, we will follow Tuoba Tao to move there. Intercept the latest battle report and prevent the master from contacting Tuoba Tao."

"Ah? Oh. Good." Yao Yu nodded dully.

"Okay, you rest. I'll go first." Zimo almost escaped from the tent.He knew in his heart that he had acted despicably and shamelessly today, almost like a villain.He asked Yao Yu to dispel the idea of ​​getting married, but at the same time made Yao Yu believe that he would not leave, so that Yao Yu would not consider accepting other men's care.

Zimo's heart is full of hatred for himself!He never thought that he would take advantage of Yao Yu's dependence on him.Why does a person like him marry Yao Yu?
——Boundary——

Just when the Dingzhong Army, which has attracted much attention, finally arrived at the barracks, Tan Yaoyu fell ill.

Immortal Fairy, who was the spiritual pillar of the entire barracks, unexpectedly fell ill at the beginning of the war.Such an unlucky thing must never be leaked.Fortunately, Yao Yu usually doesn't like to go in and out, and even the morning boxing is earlier than the school's morning training time, so after she fell ill, except for the few people closest to her, no outsiders knew about it.

Tuoba Tao specially brought his imperial physician to see.The imperial doctor knew that he was going to see Xian Ji and started to worry about it. Even after the last battle with Rouran, he had never been so nervous when healed Tuoba Tao.

This imperial doctor was brought out by Tuoba Tao from the palace, he can be regarded as Tuoba Tao's confidant.He has been following Tuoba Tao and waiting for orders in the Zhenxi Army, so he knows Tan Yaoyu's position in the hearts of the Zhenxi Army soldiers.If he can't heal Tan Yaoyu well, then his own life is probably in jeopardy.

It can be considered that the imperial doctor's life is good, after seeing Yao Yu, he was really relieved.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Xian Ji seems to have suffered from a cold, and her heart is stagnant, causing a low-grade fever. I will prescribe some antipyretic medicine to expel the cold for Xian Ji."

Tuoba Tao frowned, "Will it delay the departure of the army?"

The imperial doctor hesitated, "This...if the fever subsides, it should be all right."

"Then what if the fever persists?" Tuoba Tao asked.

"It's...it's hard for me to make a judgment." The imperial doctor swallowed and said, "There are still a few days before the army is dispatched, and I will definitely do my best to treat Immortal Fairy."

Tuoba Tao knew that he was in a hurry, he waved his hands to the imperial doctor, "You go to make the medicine first. You must watch it yourself, and you must not leak it to outsiders."

Tangxi was anxious and worried, yesterday she made the decision to stop her younger sister and let Mr. Zimo go in to talk to Immortal Fairy.The original intention is that the two can resolve the misunderstanding.Unexpectedly, the matter became more serious. Xian Ji was just depressed at first, but now she fell ill directly.

Mo Yao looked at Zhao Yu with his eyes down, and then looked at the entrance of the tent.Even my elder sister rushed over from Mr. He, Mr. Zimo should also know that Immortal Fairy is ill, why hasn't she come yet?

Tuoba Tao seemed to have noticed this too, usually Zimo protected Tan Yaoyu tightly, wishing he could take a cover to cover Tan Yaoyu.At this time, Yaoyu was ill, but he was missing, which was really strange.

Tuoba Tao asked Tangxi, "Where are the two guards of your fairy princess?"

Tangxi hesitated before realizing that Tuoba Tao was talking about Zimo and Zhu Rong.Before she could think of an excuse to prevaricate, Yingfeng pushed the door open and walked into the tent.

"Junior brother and Zhu Rong went to find medicine for me." Yingfeng said casually.He didn't wait to be greeted, and went straight to Yao Yu's bed and sat down to feel her pulse.

　The second update today.Let's have a foreshadowing event during the double shift!

　　Where is the foreshadowing of Tan Daoji accepting Zimo as his adoptive son?Oh, there are two places!Rewards for finding any of them!
