During dinner that evening, Chunning discovered that Qin Xiaozhu was worried.

"What? Could it be that Xiao Zhu failed to pass the review?"

"Ah? Oh, no, of course I passed..."

Chunning had some questions in his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Qin Xiaozhu shook his head and asked, "Will Wang Xiao come back in two days?"

"Yeah." Ying'er nodded vigorously and replied: "The young master will come back the day after tomorrow. When Sister Zhu passes the military exercise, he will take everyone to Jinan..."

Qin Xiaozhu bulged his cheeks and said, "If he doesn't need to pick him up, we can go to Jinan by ourselves."

"But Deputy General Qin still has to guard Dezhou, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also needs someone to protect him." Ying'er was a little confused and said, "Don't Miss Zhu want the young master to come back?"

"I just feel that he's going back and forth...he's too tired."

Chunning chuckled softly, as if he was laughing at Qin Xiaozhu who could still care about people...

Two days later, Wang Xiao led two thousand cavalry slowly into Texas.

After Emperor Yanguang moved into Jinan, Wang Xiaodian drew troops in Linqing, Pingyuan and recruited new troops. After confirming that Jinan's city defense was foolproof, he set out back to Dezhou.

Although the Rui army has retreated, it has placed troops in Jizhou, Shenzhou and Jingzhou. Dezhou is still the front line against the Rui army. Therefore, Wang Xiao did not intend to transfer Qin Shanhai to Jinan.

When he came back this time, he needed to reorganize the defenses in Dezhou, and then he brought the Jinyiwei to escort the King of Qi... No, the prince returned to Xingdu.

From the beginning of entering the city, the people cheered along the way, praising the Marquis of Huaiyuan to repel the rebels.

They may not be sincere, nor may they be secretly depressed because they cannot live under the rule of Ruichao.

But Wang Xiao didn't care about this. Everyone was scolded by being treated as a rat crossing the street. Then it was just a matter of one year. Maybe by next year, these people would cry again...

Wang Xiao first met Zhou Yan and a group of officials from Dezhou City, and then discussed the defense issues after Dezhou City with Qin Shanhai, Dong Jihe and others.

"I plan to expand Dezhou into Zuojun Town and build another city wall on the periphery... From now on, this will be our first important town against the rebels and Jiannu..."

"I know there is no danger to defend in Dezhou, but the Central Plains are smooth and there is no danger to defend in the first place..."

"I also ordered Shigong to move the people to Jinan and Laizhou as soon as possible, including the people in Linqing..."

"I want to transfer a batch of grain to Jinan this time, and I will stay in Texas more. I need more troops here..."

"Expanding the army, training the army, and training the elite army, these are the keys to the next level. We don't have much time left for us..."

“…”

It was already midnight when Wang Xiao returned to the house.

"The Prince Consort." Gan Tang called out in the courtyard.

Wang Xiao nodded?

Push the door open?

A candlelight in the room was like a bean, and Chunning was already asleep on the table.

"Husband..."

Hearing a sound outside the door?

Chunning rubbed his eyes and raised his head.

Because I just woke up?

She lacked the usual respectful appearance, like a ignorant little girl.

"Why don't you go to bed first?

What should I do if I catch a cold?"

"I'm not waiting for my husband, I'll just stop practicing calligraphy." Chunning said: "By the way?

Have you told Ying'er and the others?

My husband will be busy until very late tonight so that they don’t have to wait, they should have already fallen asleep at this time…”

The couple got along quite naturally, so they lay down after a little washing up.

Although Chunning is still lying upright as usual?

But there is something to say.

"Well... my husband saved his father again this time?

I am very grateful to have saved the country of Da Chu…”

"Then let's make a table of dishes for me to eat."

"Um?"

"Just kidding." Wang smiled and said, "I am my father's son-in-law, I should do it."

"Well... I don't know how to cook, but maybe I can try it, so did I cook it?

Will your husband eat it all?"

"this……"

"I'm joking too." Chunning thought for a while, and then said, "Xiao Zhu started yesterday...it seems a little unhappy?

I think she is nervous about tomorrow's military exercise, which doesn't seem like..."

"I saw her in the evening?

Hiding as if he had done something bad. Then I'll ask her tomorrow."

"Well...husband...when will we set out to go to Xingdu?"

Wang Xiao became slightly confused.

Chunning rarely says this continuously, and it is not an important matter. It is already very late at this time?

I'm sleepy too?

There are still a lot of things tomorrow...

Then he turned his head?

Then he was stunned.

The moonlight slightly penetrated into the paper window, and he could see Chunning lying on his back, with soft lines on his face, his skin as jade as he was, and a slight blush.

She was closing her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Thinking back to what she said before leaving this time, Wang Xiao suddenly understood...

Not yet fulfilled.

After staying for a long time, he thought of Tang Qianqian and Qin Xiaozhu...

It's time to grab Qianqian back...

So what if Qianqian can't accept herself and Chunning?

If it were Xiao Zhu, I would definitely find a way to let her accept it, because I was very sure that I like Qin Xiao Zhu when I went to Liaodong.

What about Chunning?

Do you like her?

Speaking of which, the simplest criterion for doing or not doing this is actually... Do you like each other?

After hesitating for a while, Wang Xiao spoke slowly and asked: "Chunning, you are with me just because we became a relative, or..."

Um?

Chunning's speech was already low and Wang Xiao looked at her and saw her lying there, her chest undulating, obviously asleep...

"I actually fell asleep."

Wang Xiao looked at her undulating chest with his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed...

After a while, he finally got up, held his clothes, and walked towards Ying'er and Duoduo's house with intimidation.

Why did you go to find Ying'er?

Maybe he is still not familiar with Chunning... He thought so in his heart.

It was very cold in the courtyard. Before Wang Xiao could walk to Ying'er's house, he suddenly heard someone ask behind him, "Where are you going?"

Looking back, it was Qin Xiaozhu.

Wang Xiao couldn't help but glance at her first, and said intently that he looked very good.

Then his eyes fell on Qin Xiaozhu's face and found that she had red eyes and tears on her face, and she actually cried again. He felt quite distressed immediately.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"You are leaving, right? You want me to leave me and Chunning..."

Wang Xiao was quite confused and comforted: "There is no such thing."

"I don't believe it, you just want to leave."
