Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

Chapter 177: Triumphant Suppression of Bandits

Mi Yao was very happy to hear that Prince Gong cared about her so much.

"Dad, I just teach them what to do. I don't get involved, so there is no danger. Don't worry." Mi Yao explained.

"Is that so? Then you should take care of your health and don't overwork yourself," said Prince Gong.

"I understand, Dad." Mi Yao sat down and tried the fruits of his day's labor one by one.

Three days later, a teahouse called Rap World opened.

In the early days of opening, Ren Xiaoyao had already done publicity according to the plan given by Mi Yao. On the opening day, quite a few people came to visit.

Today, the storyteller was talking about A Chinese Odyssey. The unique story style and alternative plot immediately attracted many people. Many people were also attracted by the dazzling array of snacks. Whether it was for listening to the story or for snacks, or for tasting various kinds of good tea, the Storytelling World was packed with people.

Prince Gong also invited a few old friends to come together, and they were immediately attracted by the stories told by the storyteller.

Rap of China became an instant hit in Beijing.

Mi Yao had a wonderful and rich life in the capital, but Zhan Xiao had a difficult time. The bandits on this hill were very difficult to deal with and had high martial arts skills. There were as many as seven or eight hundred of them, and the hill they occupied had a superior geographical location. After more than ten days of investigation, Zhan Xiao actually found the weakness of the bandit's nest, and then he entered the mountain stronghold alone and poisoned the water source of the stronghold.

That night, he led his troops to attack in one fell swoop, and the poisoned bandits were wiped out along the way. Only a few bandits with good martial arts skills were still resisting stubbornly. The chief of the village even kidnapped the fourth prince Xuanyuan Xun with his martial arts skills.

Xuanyuan Hou and Zhan Xiao rushed to rescue him regardless of everything and finally saved Xuanyuan Xun, but Xuanyuan Hou was injured.

The bandit's nest was wiped out, and the spoils amounted to more than a hundred carriages. The soldiers returned in triumph in a mighty manner.

On the day of returning to the city, Mi Yao did not go to greet her because her belly was too big and the due date was less than a month away, so Prince Gong did not dare to let Mi Yao go out.

In the evening, the emperor held a grand banquet to celebrate these meritorious people. He also rewarded several generals. Zhan Xiao was promoted to the rank of third-rank general, and Cheng Ran, Xu Bo and others who were accompanying him were also promoted.

In particular, the Fifth Prince, Marquis Xuanyuan, risked his own life to save the Fourth Prince, which moved the Emperor so much that he praised him generously at the banquet.

Everyone, young and old, in the Yongxin Marquis's Mansion was naturally happy, but the people of the Second Prince's lineage were not happy. The Queen had always been forcing herself to smile. She had been with the Emperor for more than twenty years, but he was not as good as a concubine who had been dead for more than ten years. She had disciplined the Second Prince strictly, and he had been trained by so many great scholars, but he was not as good as a peasant who grew up in the countryside. This made her feel very upset.

How could she be willing to see her son's path being blocked by someone?

Zhan Xiao no longer had any thoughts about eating or drinking, his heart had already flown back to Prince Gong's Mansion.

"General Zhan is young and promising. I admire him." The queen's father, Prime Minister Wang, walked over with a wine glass.

Zhan Xiao stood up and said: "I am just a military man, and I don't deserve such praise from the Prime Minister." Zhan Xiao also took the wine glass, clinked it with Prime Minister Wang, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Prime Minister Wang also drank the wine in the glass, and looked at Zhan Xiao with a pair of fox eyes. "General Zhan is a hero at a young age. How can a hero like you not have a beautiful woman by your side? My granddaughter is sixteen years old, with a stunning appearance, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, knitting and needlework. A man like General Zhan should have such a woman by his side to be happy in life." Prime Minister Wang looked like you got a great deal by marrying my granddaughter to you.

"Lord Wang is worthy of his surname." Zhan Xiao smiled, but it was a fake smile with a hint of sarcasm at the corners of his mouth.

"What does General Zhan mean?" Prime Minister Wang didn't understand. He had given him such a big chance, shouldn't General Zhan be grateful to him?

"I'm married, I love my wife very much, and there will only be one woman in my life, my wife." Zhan Xiao made his love declaration at the right time.

"Of course I have heard of this. She is just a country girl. Her appearance, character, knowledge, vision and background cannot be compared with those of the noble ladies in the capital." Prime Minister Wang was unhappy.

"No matter how good others are, they are still others. I only love my wife. I would like to advise Prime Minister Wang not to judge people by their appearance and not to generalize all country people. Otherwise, one day, reality will slap you in the face." After saying this, Zhan Xiao sat down and ignored Prime Minister Wang.

The prime minister looked very unhappy and left with a huff. Before leaving, he said with a dark face: "General Zhan is stubborn and will regret it one day."

"I definitely won't do that." Zhan Xiao said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't be so confident." Prime Minister Wang waved his sleeves.

"Then let's wait and see." Zhan Xiao now wished he could strangle this old man to death, his words were so irritating.

A banquet is always filled with women showing off their talents. Anyway, most of those who come out to perform want to find their ideal husband at the banquet. Although Dongqi values literature over military affairs, many concubines' daughters cannot become the main wives of wealthy families. Even if they marry into the family, they are only concubines. Many people are unwilling to accept this, so some far-sighted concubines became bolder and thought it would be good to marry a military general as his wife.

Some single generals also looked at the stage from time to time. Every hero has the dream of having a beautiful woman by his side.

Cheng Ran drank a few glasses of wine and then stopped drinking. He occasionally ate some food and enjoyed the dance. However, his thoughts drifted away. At this moment, a girl's face kept appearing in his mind. Cheng Ran looked at Zhan Xiao beside him. It seemed that he had to mention it to his brother when he had time.

The banquet ended in the middle of the night. After leaving the palace, Zhan Xiao wished he could grow wings and fly back to Prince Gong's Mansion.

Mi Yao waited for a while, and fell asleep because she was too sleepy. In the middle of the night, Zhan Xiao came back, and Mi Yao noticed it at the first moment. Seeing her hero coming back, Mi Yao twisted her body clumsily to get up.

"Little one, you are not feeling well right now, don't move." Zhan Xiao took a few quick steps and hugged his wife. "Are the children obedient?" Zhan Xiao's big hand touched Mi Xiao's big belly.

It’s children, yes, this time Mi Mo is giving birth to twins.

"Be obedient. Did the bandit suppression go smoothly this time?" Mi Yao leaned on Zhan Xiao's shoulder.

"Fortunately..." Zhan Xiao briefly talked about the bandit suppression. "Marquis Xuanyuan was slightly injured while saving Xuanyuan Xun, but it's not serious." Zhan Xiao hinted at something.

"Marquis Xuanyuan is a smart man. I hope his intelligence can be used in the right place." Mi Yao said.

"Well, if he's a good guy, we'll help him, and we can go back to Liujia Village earlier." Zhan Xiao said.

"You must be tired. Go to bed early. We can talk tomorrow." Mi Yao saw the dark shadow under Zhan Xiao's eyes.

"Okay." Zhan Xiao covered Mi Yao with a quilt, went to the ear room to wash up, and then fell asleep with his wife in his arms. He slept very deeply, as if only Mi Yao was the warmest and safest place for him.
