Chapter 37

When Xiao Chengzhi received the letter from Fei Ge, he had already put one foot on the horse.

The success or failure of the battle with Xi Zhao was at a critical juncture, but the main general was injured, and several lieutenants were also seriously injured.The imperial court chose to choose and didn't know who else could be on the list, so he recommended himself.

Since he came back from Qingzhou City, Xiao Chengzhi devoted himself to studying Xizhao's so-called Gu poison technique whenever he had free time. He didn't dare to take on the porcelain work if he was not sure.

Before he could reply to Shuangshuang's letter, he put the letter in his arms and set off.

Xie Tingxuan's memorial was presented layer by layer, and it was two months before it reached the emperor's hands.

The emperor has his own considerations. If Xizhao is destroyed all at once, it is hard to guarantee that some radicals will not appear to obstruct it, so it is better to leave some room for them.

Therefore, the condition of the peace talks is that Xizhao will pay tribute to them every year and send people to learn the art of Gu poison.

This battle annihilated five elders of the enemy and countless sorcerers, seriously wounding the foundation of Xizhao's country, and occupied eight cities of Xizhao, equivalent to half of Xizhao's land. The emperor was very happy.

Originally Xiao Chengzhi wanted to pursue the victory, but the emperor ordered him to go back immediately, Xiao Chengzhi would not disobey his order.

As soon as he entered the palace, the emperor told him about the disappearance of a young girl in Hengzhou. In order to avoid serious matters, someone needed to go to Hengzhou to investigate.As soon as Xiao Chengzhi heard about Hengzhou, he thought of Xu Shuangshuang's letter, and he immediately asked for orders, telling him to go. "You just came back and have to go out again! No, stay in the imperial city to spend more time with the widows." The emperor dotes on this nephew very much, for no other reason. The letter is a sharp sword in his hand. Wherever he points, the letter He pointed there without hesitation.

"Uncle Emperor, why do you need someone to accompany you in all your daily affairs? Besides, you have so many concubines to accompany you in the harem, so I am alone!" Xiao Chengzhi would occasionally show his childishness in front of the Uncle Emperor. "Yes yes yes, look at my widow's memory, you will be 24 this year, it's time to get married and get married." The emperor suddenly realized that his nephew was still alone so far, and he was quite clean. "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you, and I will give you a marriage if it is done well." The emperor said with a smile.However, Xiao Chengzhi thought that if he could succeed, he would let the emperor's uncle give them a marriage when he came back, so that both of them would never be able to run away again.Although Xie Tingxuan is a small magistrate, even though he moved away from Xie's family, Xie's family has only such an only son. Everyone knows that he is the future heir of Xie's family, and no one wants to offend a powerful official who may accompany the emperor in the future.Therefore, his memorials are generally presented directly.But this is an unwritten rule, and the princes will not pay special attention to him.It was too late to find out.On the way to Hengzhou with the emperor's oral order, Xiao Chengzhi was still thinking about how to surprise both of them.

But this is an unwritten rule, and the princes will not pay special attention to him.It was too late to find out.On the way to Hengzhou with the emperor's oral order, Xiao Chengzhi was still thinking about how to surprise both of them.They passed by Anjia Temple, Xiao Chengzhi went to the temple to offer incense, and Liu Qing followed.

He has learned how to behave now, and since they went back, he heard the black raccoon say how special the master is to Miss Shuangshuang, and he guessed why he was suddenly not seen by the master.

The master was jealous, thinking that he was getting too close to Miss Shuangshuang.

So when the master said that he would come to Anjia Temple, his first thought was: I heard that there is a century-old wishing tree in Anjia Temple, which is very effective.Liu Qing guessed right, he watched his master standing in front of the wishing tree from a distance, and when he was about to throw away the written wish slip, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. "Uncle Xu! Miss Shuangshuang! What a coincidence! You are here too!"

Hearing Liu Qing's words, Xiao Chengzhi took back the wishing belt subconsciously, and took a closer look, it was really Shuangshuang, Xu Bo was also there, but how could there be a white-haired boy beside Shuangshuang?The blood in Xiao Chengzhi's body seemed to condense and rush to the top of his head in an instant. The angrier he was, the calmer he appeared on the surface.

Xiao Chengzhi crumpled the wish slip in his hand tightly and walked towards them.

Xiao Chengzhi's appearance here was completely unexpected to everyone, including Xie Tingxuan, who was also very surprised: "Zizhi, why are you here?" Xiao Chengzhi froze, yes, how could he explain why he appeared here ?But in front of Xu Shuangshuang, his momentum could not be lowered: "Come to Hengzhou for business."

After finishing speaking, out of politeness, Xiao Chengzhi nodded to Xu Yanqi: "Uncle Xu, long time no see."

Xu Shuangshuang just stared at Xiao Chengzhi since he appeared, she wanted to ask him why he didn't reply?But when Xiao Chengzhi made a bow, she sharply saw the redness in the palm of his hand, and looked at the red ribbon hanging on the wishing tree, she was very interested in the content of his red ribbon in an instant.

So much so that Xiao Chengzhi, who originally wanted to be arrogant, waited for Xiao Chengzhi to take the initiative to say hello, but now she couldn't care less. She took a step forward, raised her chin, and said with a cramped smile on her face: "What is that?"

Xiao Chengzhi didn't have time to show her face, and saw her smiling brightly, ignoring the white-haired boy behind her who came to talk to him, and his mood immediately improved.It seems that the white-haired boy is not that important!
Xu Shuangshuang reached out to take it, but Xiao Chengzhi suddenly remembered the contents of the wishing belt, his face changed, and he withdrew his hand behind his back. Before he could speak, the wishing belt was snatched from his hand.

It turned out to be the white-haired boy!

Xiao Chengzhi was amazed at the speed of the white-haired boy, who was able to snatch the wishing belt from his hand so easily.

With such skills, if he can enter the Black Clothes Guard, he will definitely be a first-class master.

Xiaobai handed the snatched red silk to Xu Shuangshuang, his long and narrow eyes were full of possessiveness.

This is the person he wants to protect. He can help her get whatever she wants, but it's nothing but a rag.

This series of changes happened only in an instant.

Xu Yanqi was also curious about what Xiao Chengzhi wanted to make, so he went to watch it together.

"May I never be separated from my sweetheart with a white head."

Just look at it, and read it out!

Xu Shuangshuang came back to his senses and glared at the foster father who spoke freely, feeling a little embarrassed, and returned the red silk belt to Xiao Chengzhi.

Xiao Chengzhi will not be annoyed anymore.

Anyway, his wish is nothing to be ashamed of.

Xiao Chengzhi expected to see a shy and happy reaction from Shuangshuang's face, but Xu Shuangshuang just returned the wish to him without asking or saying anything.

Xu Yanqi saw that the atmosphere between them was a bit cold, so he hurriedly asked: "Master Xiao, are you both the sweethearts above?"

In fact, Xu Yanqi already had the answer in her heart.Because Xiao Chengzhi just stared straight at his daughter, and he was not blind.

A blush could flash across Xiao Chengzhi's handsome face, he didn't expect Uncle Xu to ask so directly.

But what needs to be clarified right now is the identity of the white-haired boy: "Who is he?"

Xu Yanqi glanced at Xiaobai, thinking he was a bit of an eyesore: "This is the adopted son I came to Hengzhou to recognize."

Oh, it turned out to be the adopted son!

Xiao Chengzhi was in a good mood, and generously admitted: "My sweetheart is indeed Shuang Shuang."

Xu Shuangshuang blushed like an apple now, so many eyes were staring at her!My lord is really too, won't you be a little more tactful?It made everyone look at her, and she felt like an archery target, with thousands of arrows piercing her heart!
