Chapter 365
"Come on, mistake, try Jiangnan Snow Lotus Root."

Zhao Cuo sat around the dining table with his family for dinner early the next morning.

The eldest sister was sitting beside him, moving her chopsticks with restraint and gentleness, while his mother picked up vegetables for them from time to time.

Zheng Guogong sat in the main seat, eating breakfast in a leisurely manner. He was not in the habit of serving food for others, but he would say things like asking their siblings to eat more, and he was very calm.

"Why don't you see An Le?"

Mrs. Duchess asked.

"She."

The little father-in-law swallowed the pastry in his mouth.

"That child is sleepy, even if I tell her she won't get up, let her sleep."

Su Jinnian's eyes lit up when he heard his words, he even stopped his chopsticks, looking expectant.

"Women also suffer from lethargy after pregnancy. Is this possible? Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look?"

"It's not necessary, if there is, she will be aware of it herself."

Zhao thief said with shame.

"Do you want to know too?"

She said to Zhao Cuo earnestly.

"Remember what you promised me? After the south is settled, your marriage should be arranged."

The mother's words didn't make Grandpa Zhao react, but the eyes of Xin Xin beside him flickered, but he didn't make a sound.

"I know, but at this time when the country is in crisis, we still don't talk about it."

Zhao thief tried to change the subject.

"Why can't we talk?"

The Duke's wife glared at the siblings.

"You are not young anymore, it's better to be wrong, you are a lustful person, what about you? Your marriage has not been settled yet."

Now it was Zhao Cuo who lowered his head to eat. He couldn't directly speak out against his mother on this matter, and he had to wait for his elder sister to object before he chimed in.

"Mother, my daughter doesn't have this idea yet, let's talk about it in a few years."

Zhao Shangxin spoke softly.

"Wait?"

Su Jinnian frowned.

"You're going to be 22."

It's not that she's in a hurry to marry someone off, it's just that a girl at this age is still in her boudoir?She didn't even know where to find Gongqing's son who was the same age and hadn't married yet.

"It's okay, I also want to stay by your and father's side to serve you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other after we get married."

Miss Zhao still responded softly.

When she spoke, she glanced at Mr. Zhao.

With this glance, she happened to see Zhao thief who seemed to be relieved because of her words, and immediately Xiafei's cheeks flew up.

"Eldest sister is right. With your beauty and talent, it's never too late to get married. Don't worry."

Zhao Cuo said in a timely manner.

"You are missing."

Delightful and beautiful eyes gouged him out smartly.

"How can I say it as well as you? You really won't be able to get married in a few years, and you'll just wait to be under my control for the rest of your life."

"You have to keep your word, but I shouldn't let you worry about it in the future, at least until now, the house is safe."

Zhao Xiaogong is not worried that there will be a Gongdou drama in his mansion in the future.

"It's hard to say~"

Zhao Shangxin also knows his women well.

"Are you two singing here? Why don't you just get together, and I'll save my worries."

Mother snorted and said, her words seemed to be teasing, but they were actually intentional.

"You don't want to say such things."

Miss Zhao whispered.

"Inappropriate."

She said what she really thought in her heart.

"I have been siblings with Cuo'er for many years, and we have been getting along in this capacity, how can we change it?"

The eldest sister can't get over the hurdle in her heart, and Zhao Cuo actually knows what she thinks, so that's why she can't accept the kiss that day.

"I'm joking, but the important matter of your marriage can no longer be left to its own devices. It will be put on the agenda when the south is pacified at the latest."

Madam Guo frowned and said.

"cough."

Zhao thief knew that he could not continue this topic.

"We still have to focus on state affairs now. Father, Wu Chongxing and other generals of the Southern Army have already arrived in Yuhang City, right?"

Zhao Cuo looked at Zheng Guogong who had been moving his chopsticks silently. He was actually asking knowingly, and all news in the south would reach his ears before everyone else.

"They entered the city overnight last night. When will you summon him? The military situation is urgent."

Zhao Gan looked at him and asked.

The war in the south is indeed not optimistic.

Emperor Yongzhao has regrouped, and the Xisha Kingdom and the Dragon Clan have also joined in, but their goal is to end everything before the summer.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in Jiangnan in three days. I will go to the Huainan front line with him at that time. As for how to fight this battle, I am still thinking about it."

As he spoke, he glanced at the elder sister who was eating breakfast quietly and calmly. He wanted to take down the South China Sea first.

However, Emperor Yongzhao, who is obviously stronger, is on the other side.

More information is needed before a decision can be made.

"That's fine too."

He nodded unhurriedly.

"Your mother is going to give birth in summer. We can't let Ning'er be born in the midst of chaos. We should do our best for our country and our family."

'And my two children!'

Mr. Zhao said in his heart.

A breakfast ended in an atmosphere of neither plague nor fire.

He didn't waste any time, and immediately received the generals of the Southern Army at the Governor's Mansion, including his confidant Wu Chongxing.

"The last general pays his respects to General Zhao."

"Don't be too polite."

Zhao thief made a gesture of support to him.

Of course he wouldn't directly meet these brave warriors.

The most unacceptable thing for a superior is that the subordinates are all of one mind, so can he still count on what he says?
"My subordinates, congratulations to the great general for being named Duke. If you can conquer the south in one fell swoop in this battle! Then you will definitely be crowned king."

General Wu said respectfully, and there was also excitement in his eyes, looking forward to the military exploits that might make him a duke.

Zhao Cuo didn't change his face, he heard the radical meaning in Wu Chongxing's words, which is normal.

Marquis Wu was conferred the title of third-class Marquis of Sincerity and Bravery in Dayu's hereditary replacement just a few years ago.

"Riding on a donkey and mule, thinking about a fine horse... worshiping the general and making him a prince."

Mr. Zhao seemed to read a poem casually.

Wu Chongxing's face turned pale immediately.

Is this dissatisfaction with him?
"It's because the subordinates are impatient."

He quickly bowed his head to express his obedience to discipline.

"I'm not saying you're bad, but the situation at this time is more complicated than it was a year ago. You must settle down and handle things."

General Zhao said earnestly that he always knew that Wu Chongxing was someone who would take risks for his merits, but what he wants now is to play steadily.

"The last general will always remember the teachings of the great general."

"it is good."

Zhao Cuo nodded.

"Now tell me about the changes in the situation in the south."

In fact, he had already received all kinds of information, but he still wanted to compare it with Wu Chongxing to make sure that his hearing was not deceived.

"Report to General Zhao, the abandoned emperor has reunited one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the land of the Six Kingdoms, hoarding them at Yunqi Pass in the Qi Kingdom..."

Wu Chongxing carefully stated the information he had in every sentence.

"Soldiers of the dragon tribe joined forces with the remnants of the southern Xinjiang, and have entered the territory of Dayu. The army of the Xisha Kingdom was trapped by us in the Ningxi Mansion."

He succinctly explained the current situation, and in one month it will be the spring when all things will recover, but it is a pity that the flames of war will also be ignited at the same time.

"Have you discussed with Zhao Zongbing how to fight this battle?"

Mr. Zhao said calmly.

"There have been several discussions."

General Wu Shen nodded.

"We think that the six countries should be conquered in one fell swoop."

General Zhao didn't change his face when he heard what he said, but he didn't quite agree with it in his heart, so he continued.

"Why? When we capture the South China Sea, we can use the power of the two rivers' navy to attack cities and villages when we enter, and transport food and people when we retreat. Isn't it beautiful?"

"The final general thinks it's wrong. If we attack the Dragon Clan with all our strength, Emperor Yongzhao will definitely take Ningxi Mansion and unite with the Gu Clan. We must not come here!"

Wu Chongxing shook his head resolutely.

"If they win the Ningxi Mansion, their morale will definitely be high with this big victory. The subordinates think that they should cut the mess before they make their achievements!"

Zhao Cuo nodded his head lightly, Wu Chongxing's style of play has always been to win quickly, every trick is thinking of surprise, attacking the unprepared, and is well versed in the tricks of soldiers.

"If I say that the dragon clan is planning something that is not good for the war, and the situation is extremely urgent, it must be taken down first, and the plan will be released?"

He asked again calmly, there were only two roads before him, and he didn't dare to go his own way.

"This……"

Wu Chongxing suddenly showed embarrassment.

"The general just listened to your words. It seems that as long as Ningxi Mansion can be kept, it doesn't matter if we attack the Dragon Clan first?"

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Mr. Zhao asked again.

"That's right."

General Wu Shen said hesitantly.

"However, Ningxi Mansion's military strength is only [-], and this is the Ning Kingdom among the previous Seven Kingdoms. The people may not sincerely join Dayu, so..."

What he meant was that under the current conditions, the abolished emperor could not be allowed to attack Ningxi Mansion.

"What if General Wu goes to Ningxi Mansion in person?"

Zhao thief went a step further.

"Subordinate..."

Wu Chongxing was at a loss for words for a moment.

How can he be sure to do this?

No one dares to boast about this matter!

"Don't be in a hurry at this time, you go back and discuss with Zhao Zongbing and come up with a plan that balances both ends."

Zhao wrongly patted him on the shoulder. If he didn't have a strategy to minimize the risk, he might choose to deal with the dragons first.

"The general understands. I will definitely convey your thoughts to General Zhao. I won't let you down."

He said firmly.

The little father-in-law had a friendly conversation with him before releasing him.

Then he met with several generals of the southern army, the corporal Lixian asked their health, and asked some important questions at the same time.

"There will be a fight in half a month. Mr. Gu's last letter told me that the Dragon Clan is somehow awakening the memory of Eldest Sister..."

Thief Zhao walked out of the study of the governor's mansion, and walked towards his bedroom. It will be almost noon and it should be called An Le.

However, he didn't know that the person in his room was no longer a little beauty~
But...

"I'll clean it up here."

Appreciate invited the maids who came in to go out.

She seemed to be casually closing the door of Zhao Cuo's bedroom.

The little witch just got up, and was taken to have breakfast by the Duke's wife, so she is the only one in the room now.

"Speaking of which, it may be a long time since I cleaned up the wrong room. When my parents were first transferred from the capital, I was the one who kept an eye on the cleaning of his room."

Zhao Shangxin said to himself calmly, it seemed to be to convince himself that he didn't even know what he was doing now.

"It's really a mess...it's outrageous."

She had already walked to the bed at this time.

The bed quilt that came into view was a mess.

Rao Miss Zhao couldn't help but blush when she saw this.

"This one still needs to be cleaned every day. Let the maid come to make the bed again later, huh?"

She hugged the bed in her arms, and the subtle smell stunned her for a while, and it was at this time that she ignored the perception of the surrounding breath.

"The wrong smell..."

Pleasant murmur.

"Ok?"

Her face suddenly changed.

The outdoor scene entered her divine thoughts at this moment.

Zhao Cuo walked over quickly, met the maid who was chased away by her, and asked questions...

"Returning to the young master, the eldest lady is in your room and said that she wants to clean it up for you herself."

When Zhao Shangxin heard this sentence from a distance, his eyes almost went dark. It would be useless for her to leave now, right?

"Eldest sister? I see, you go and do your work."

Zhao thief walked towards the yard in front of him in surprise.

It took him a few steps to realize that he didn't ask about Queen Chen.

The child should be awake, are they both in the room?He unconsciously quickened his pace.

"I'm in."

"squeak~"

After Zhao Cuo knocked on the door, he pushed it away.

A plump woman in a moon-white Confucian shirt stood in his room.

She had a decent and generous smile on her shiny and fat oval face, and she was holding his bed in her arms, which was no different.

"Did you go to see those generals by mistake? I came to clean up your room, and An Le was called by my mother."

Xinxin said in a soft voice, her performance was not unusual, she was as gentle as jade.

"You don't have to do this yourself."

Grandpa Zhao blinked.

"I am willing."

Zhao Shangxin rolled her charming eyes at him.

"I bullied you like that last night, and you will clean my room now. My elder sister is really the best."

Thief Zhao seemed to be moved. While speaking, he couldn't help walking forward, and he wanted to embrace the charming elder sister with his arms.

"Come on, I'll get someone to wash the quilt for you. You can go to the dining hall to have lunch after you get ready."

"I want to go with you."

Zhao wrongly hugged her up from behind.

"What are you talking about that doesn't make sense?"

Miss Zhao scolded, she didn't lose her composure now because she was still holding the quilt in her arms, and Mr. Zhao's hand hadn't really wrapped around her.

But the bad thing is that she gradually felt the temperature from her back, which made her breathing uncontrollably disordered.

The villain's hand suddenly passed under the quilt she was holding.

'The lower abdomen was touched...'

Xin Xin is also slightly angry at his unscrupulous frivolity.

"Zhao is wrong! How far do you want to bully me before you are willing? Let go~"

She didn't notice that her last sentence was a bit coquettish.

"I've got my hands on you."

General Zhao understands at the top level.

"you!"

Zhao Shangxin almost laughed angrily.

"Do you have to be reconciled to me to reprimand you?"

"How come, you won't be really angry with me, well..."

Zhao thief has the same ambition as her body, and he also took actions to make the ambitions of the two meet.

"I haven't checked the scales on your body for a long time. This place is very close to the South China Sea. Let me take a closer look, please?"
