Chapter 691

In the courtyard, the people knelt down. Duke Zhang opened the imperial edict and read out, "to honor heaven, the emperor announced that there is an invasion of our country in the northwest. After receiving the edict, the king of war Fengche immediately went to Beijing to discuss the issue of sending troops

After reading the edict, Duke Zhang folded it up and said, "Lord Zhan, take the edict."

"I will take orders."

Mr. Zhang handed the edict to him and said in a shrill voice, "Lord Zhan, clean up and let's go."

The emperor got the news of the invasion of Fanguo a few days ago. He didn't ask him to come here until the day before yesterday to make a proclamation, in order to make Fengche feel blocked on New Year's Eve.

"Mr. Zhang."

The housekeeper came up to him and bent over to father-in-law Zhang. "You've come all the way. It's hard. I'll take you to have a rest."

"No, when he came here, the emperor specially ordered him to enter Beijing immediately after he received the order. The invasion was a major event. The emperor could not sleep when he received the urgent report."

"Then..."

Housekeeper also tried to make him wait, Xia Xi called him, "housekeeper."

The housekeeper rushed over and put Mr. Zhang aside. "Little lady."

"You go to help Fengche clean up and see what you have to take. Take all of them."

The housekeeper immediately understood her meaning and said, "yes, young lady, I'll do it now."

"Feng an, Feng Zhong."

Both of them should.

"You two go and clean up, too."

They answered.

"Mr. Zhang."

Xia Xi can't see any emotion on her face. Father-in-law Zhang is alert and slightly bends his waist, "fight the princess."

"Just a moment. This edict comes suddenly. We have to clean it up."

Zhang Gonggong said in a hurry, "Princess Zhan, please."

Xia Xi accompanied Feng Che back to the house, poured two glasses of water, one for him, one for himself, "do you already know?"

"Well."

As early as in the wheat harvest, Xia Xi came back and said that Menglin had talked more about taxes, so he noticed something was wrong. He asked Marquis Qin to inquire. He knew that the state of fan had invaded several times.

Xia Xi nodded and didn't ask again. After drinking the water in the cup, she looked outside. "It's still early now. How can we leave after two hours?"

The imperial edict says to return to Beijing immediately to discuss the issue of sending troops, but it doesn't mean to send troops immediately. That is to say, the imperial edict can come two days later to let them live a happy new year. The Emperor just let Mr. Zhang catch up with the new year's Eve. Frankly speaking, it was intentional. In that case, they don't have to face too much.

Xia Xi stood up, "in this way, I'll ask the children if they want to go to the capital and have a sleep by the way. As for you, you should also cultivate your spirit so as not to doze off on the way."

The breeze Che suppresses to smile, "go."

Xia Xi quickly walked in the house several times, took out the handkerchief, wiped the "sweat" on her forehead, opened the door and hurried out.

Mr. Zhang has a look.

Without waiting for him to speak, Xia Xi said apologetically, "father-in-law Zhang, I'm really sorry. You have to wait a little longer. I'll help the children to pack up and come right away."

Mr. Zhang stepped aside and said, "you are busy, you are busy."

Xia Xi went to the dining room, a group of servants stopped chopsticks, quietly waiting for the news.

"Let's continue to eat. Today is a reunion dinner. We are all full."

No one moved the chopsticks. They all looked at her.

"It's the call for the Lord to come back to Beijing to discuss things. Don't worry. Let's eat."

We just started eating again, but we didn't have the mood just now. One by one, with their heads down, no one said a word, and the huge shed was silent again.

Xia Xi waved to Qi'er and Hu Zi, and they ran to her. Xia Xi led them back to their yard and squatted down, "I'm going to the capital. Do you want to go?"

"Yes

The tiger answered happily. His sister-in-law had said long ago that she would take them to the capital. He had been looking forward to it.

Qi Er's small face was dignified. "Can we go?"

Xia Xi touched his head, "of course."

He also said, "if you two want to go, just pack up your things and get some sleep. We may not be able to rest on the way."

"Good."

Two people happily should, ran to rest things, Xia Xi went to the outer bed to lie down, closed his eyes, thought to wait for two people to clean up and go to bed, he got up again, to see how they clean up.

Did not expect to sleep in the past, and so suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, has been over an hour.

He got up from the bed and went into the inner room. He called out Qi'er and Hu Zi, who were sleeping soundly. He told them to wake up and take a nap, and then he took them to the main courtyard.

Mr. Zhang and his party are shivering in the yard. Now he knows that Fengche is deliberately hanging them. He wants the housekeeper to find a room for them to have a rest, but he can't pull down his face.

See Xia Xi into the yard, as if to see the Savior, stiff legs came forward, wooden voice way, "war, war princess."

"Sorry, sorry!"

Xia Xi a face of shame, "these two children pack things too slowly, pack up more than an hour."

Zhang Gonggong's eyes fell on Qi'er and Hu Zi's little burden, and he drew from the corner of his mouth,

"They are..."

"My son and my brother."

Zhang Gonggong half silk vision didn't give to Qi'er and tiger son, bitter face, "war princess, we should start, don't start, it's dark."

"I know. Just a moment, Mr. Zhang. I'll go to urge Fengche."

Xia Xi three people entered the room, wind Che this just lazily opened eyes.

"Oh..."

Xia Xi deliberately said, "we are going to the capital, not to other places. Why do you pack up so many things? Put it back, put it back! "

Mr. Zhang

Fengche put the "packed things" back and tossed about for another quarter of an hour. When father-in-law Zhang couldn't bear it and was about to faint, he finally opened the door and came out, followed by Xia Xi, Qi'er and Hu Zi.

"Let's go."

Zhang Gonggong took a hard breath, and his mouth was full of coolness. He motioned two eunuchs to help him and followed several people with stiff legs.

After leaving the villa and getting into the carriage, the housekeeper watched the carriage go away, sighed heavily, and told the guard, "close the door, from today on, no one is allowed to go in and out."

……

The carriage was not far away from Pingyang County, and it was dark. Father-in-law Zhang and his party were cold and hungry. They wanted to find a place to rest, but Fengche sent Fengan to send a message, "there is too much delay today. Our Lord said that we should not rest in the evening, and we should hurry to Beijing as soon as possible."

Mr. Zhang

With the curtain of the car and the smile on his face, he didn't look like a tall man. "Guard of the wind, go and tell the Lord that we can sleep without eating. Two children can't. They are still young. They can't stand without eating."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. When they came, the housekeeper prepared snacks for them. It's no problem to eat them for two days."

Mr. Zhang
