From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 744 The Emperor's Intention

"I knew you wanted noodle soup, and there was still mutton soup sitting on the stove. Sanniang, don't go, you don't know how to cook, I'll cook noodles." Yuan Muqiu, who didn't see Mei Zhannan, looked out Seeing that he came back alone, he immediately said: "Where is the general, did you go back to the house to rest?"

Impossible, such a big incident happened in Liangzhou, and I might not be able to fall asleep based on my understanding of him, not to mention that he has been in the habit of seeing the children first when he returns home for many years, and he hasn't come to see Mei Xin yet.

Mentioning his father, Mei Jinze smiled, and while going to get some snacks, he replied: "No, someone stopped me at the gate, and I guess it will take a while to talk. My father didn't eat dumplings in the palace yesterday, Come cook two bowls of mutton dumplings, I'm just hungry."

People who practice martial arts have a bigger appetite than ordinary people, plus he can always eat, a bowl of noodles and a bowl of dumplings are not a problem at all.

"Stop it, who is it?" Seeing his smiling face, there should be no danger, Mei Xin couldn't help being curious for a moment.I thought to myself, who would go out this night when it was snowing heavily, and besides, it was so strange to talk outside without coming in when I arrived at the door.

With a bright smile on his brows, Mei Jinze replied in a mysterious manner: "How would I know, I'm sitting in a sedan chair. Godmother, I'm hungry, and I'll bring some other delicious food ready-made in the kitchen."

He is the child that Yuan Muqiu watched grow up. He is very aware of his appetite, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, okay, the dumplings have already been wrapped and kept outside to freeze. I will cut some beef for a bowl of noodles and two bowls of dumplings." When I left yesterday, didn’t I keep shouting that I wanted to eat foie gras?

Ever since she was pregnant, she had the habit of eating before going to bed, plus she didn't eat much for dinner because she had something to worry about, so Mei Xin immediately said, "Okay, let's eat dumplings, I like dumplings in sour soup."

All mothers in the world are of the same mind, hoping that their children will eat more.Therefore, Yuan Muqiu was very happy, so he hurried to the kitchen to make dumplings and cook noodles.

Wanting to know what the emperor meant and what his plan was, Mei Xin waited for Yuan Muqiu to leave and asked impatiently: "Uncle Wei sent a letter back saying that he summoned the officials of the Ministry of War. What's the situation in the palace right now?"

It's a must to fight if you want to kill your son, but how to fight is another matter.

Knowing that she was anxious, Mei Jinze didn't beat around the bush, and replied directly: "The emperor was furious and ordered my father to leave for Liangzhou tomorrow, and the military department was reprimanded for the lack of food and supplies..."

Raising her hand to interrupt him, Mei Xin was shocked and said: "Wait, what did you just say? I ordered my father to leave for Liangzhou tomorrow, won't you go back together?"

A bad premonition welled up in her heart, and Mei Xin became a little anxious.

I don't know what's wrong with her, Mei Jinze lost her smile and said in a dazed way: "Originally, we were going to leave together, but didn't the food and grass have not been prepared, the emperor asked me to wait two days for the food and grass to be ready before leaving. Heartbroken Son, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong?"

He is not stupid, and he thought it was wrong at first, but food and grass are really important for fighting.So, after thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong, and it's only two days late.

Mei Xin frowned deeply and did not say a word. Seeing her solemn expression, Mei Jinze hurriedly said, "Are you worried about father's safety? Don't worry, although I can't go with you, the emperor sent Commander Xiao to go, and also sent The Royal Forest Army will accompany you to protect it."

Xiao Qichen's kung fu has been taught by him before, although it is not as good as his father's, it is not bad, and he will never make mistakes along the way, not to mention that he is still a good friend of his father's.

Before Zongzheng Mingzhen left, Mei Xin had heard from him that the emperor was going to send Xiao Qichen to Liangzhou, and he would take over the imperial army.I thought that the matter of his going to Yongzhou was over, but he didn't think that the emperor didn't give up at all, and he wanted to put people in the Mei family's army wholeheartedly, so he was really afraid of something.

With a cold heart and a frosty face, Mei Xin raised her hand and touched her stomach and said, "The imperial guards are the emperor's personal guards who have always been in the palace to protect the emperor's safety. How could he send Xiao Qichen with him? The Tartars gathered 50 troops. There are only 30, did the emperor say that he would send additional troops?"

That is to say, the Mei family army has been stationed in Liangzhou for many years, fighting against the tiger and wolf-like Tartars every year, otherwise it would never be their opponent.

Mei Jinze shook his head and said: "That's not true, but an order was given to Dad and Commander Xiao, saying that if necessary, they can borrow troops nearby. As for the Imperial Forest Army, they didn't send many, only 100 people were sent to accompany them."

Mei Xin was about to laugh, she felt that she could no longer hide the matter of her rebirth from her brother, if she continued to hide it, she might repeat the same mistakes.

After making up her mind to ask Sanniang to go out and guard the door, Mei Xin said solemnly: "Brother, I have something very important to tell you, it sounds unbelievable but it is absolutely true, after you listen Don't panic and don't be afraid in the future. If you have anything to ask, wait until I finish speaking, okay?"

The sudden seriousness made Mei Jinze's heart skip a beat, and he put down the pastry in his hand with inexplicable nervousness and said, "It's fine, but can you stop being so serious, it makes my heart beat faster."

Not in the mood to joke with him, Mei Xin started talking directly, and not long after she said it, Mei Jinze was also stunned.

At the same time, in an alley to the left of the gate of Prince Liang's Mansion, Mei Zhannan was standing beside a sedan chair and talking.

I don't know who is sitting in the sedan chair, Wei Dayong and the entourage brought by the chair owner also stood three feet away.

The night-like scarlet sedan chair looks a little abrupt in the long alley, and it also looks lonely and desolate in the white snow.

Without riding a horse, Mei Zhannan just stood upright, tall and majestic like a towering mountain.Seeing that a corner of the sedan chair window was lifted to reveal a bright red tassel, he frowned involuntarily.Since the death of his wife's original partner, Lu Shi, no one has given him this one again, so he can't help but feel a little lost when he sees it at first, remembering that she also likes big red.

"I've always wanted to give you something to wear next to your body, but I didn't know what to give. I heard from my elder brother that you are fond of knives, so I made this. I didn't know what color you like, so I chose red. It is to ward off evil spirits and to celebrate. I hope you will definitely accept it." The whole hand was handed out to Bai Yuwuxia, and the voice was soft and weak, and it sounded like a woman.

I just don’t know why Mei Zhannan didn’t reach out to pick it up, but unconsciously took a step back and said very politely: “I appreciate your kindness, but I’m holding a murderous knife. It's too much trouble, I'm sorry."
