Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1806

The two chatted for a while, and then Uncle Wan said goodbye.

Another group of people were already waiting in the main hall to ask to see the princess.

When Shi Anxia arrived at the main hall, Wu Qicheng and others stood up together.

Wu Qi and Cheng Gang were appointed as the commander-in-chief of Tiema City, Zhao Zhui as the commander of the border army, and Qiu Zhiyan as the military supervisor.

After listening to the reports from these people, Shi Anxia knew that it must be the intention of the emperor. This meant that all the acquaintances were sent to her to take away.

She asked, "Is the position of deputy commander vacant?"

Wu Qicheng replied, "There are currently two vacancies."

When he said this, Shi Anxia understood. The two vacancies were originally held by Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang.

But because the two of them submitted their resignations, the position of deputy general became vacant.

Shi Anxia said, "That will be hard for General Wu."

When the princess called out the words "General Wu", Wu Qicheng felt dazed. It felt like not long ago, he was still studying military tactics and practicing archery with his teacher in Yunqi Academy.

Thinking of "Mr.", Wu Qicheng and others' eyes suddenly turned red.

Wu Qicheng and Zhao Zhui performed well in the process of recovering lost territory, acting calmly and strictly in discipline. One was General Jinglu and the other General Dinglu, both of whom were from the sixth rank.

Although the two men had been newly conferred the rank of generals, there was no arrogance in their expressions, but rather a solemnity.

"I have received the order from the Ministry of War," Wu Qicheng said as he clasped his fists, the bronze tiger talisman on his waist jingling softly, "We will leave for Tiema City the day after tomorrow to take up our post. I have come to ask for your instructions, Princess."

Shi Anxia agreed, his eyes moving slightly, "With two generals accompanying us, this trip will be safe."

"I am willing to protect the princess." The two left.

Only Qiu Zhiyan was left.

Shi Anxia asked Nan Yan to refill the hot tea. The celadon cup was filled with mist. "The new emperor has ascended the throne. My cousin has made great achievements in the capital. Why did he have to go to Iron Horse City for me?"

Qiu Zhiyan frowned, his tea reflecting his faint worry, "My cousin has traveled thousands of miles to find her husband, so she should have a relative by her side. I happened to be free, so I asked the court for a vacancy and went with my cousin."

Shi Anxia felt a little wet in her heart.

Qiu Zhiyan suddenly smiled, "Besides, I am the master of my own future. No one is qualified to tell me what to do."

The two of them recalled the ridiculous things that happened in the past and sighed.

Shi Anxia suddenly asked, "Does my cousin regret it?"

Qiu Zhiyan paused with his fingertips, and the celadon teacup turned half a circle in his palm.

He was silent for a moment, "A little, but not much." He curled his lips, "If she were still here, I might have become a monk a long time ago."

The swaying shadows of the bamboos outside the window made the dark line between his brows particularly distinct.

It's funny that after his mother died, he gained his freedom.

People always say that mothers are loving and their children are filial, but every time he thinks of the sound of that nail-painted hand lifting the curtain, his back still stiffens.

The two talked about Song Ruishi's execution. Qiu Zhiyan said, "The new emperor issued a general amnesty upon his ascension to the throne, and he just happened to be not included in the amnesty. Otherwise, if he were released, he would be a disaster."

Shi Anxia deeply agreed. She had someone investigate and found that Song Ruishi was not only guilty of selling his sister and arson.

There were also robberies and murders, all of which were confessed to by his companions.

Qiu Zhiyan came here today for another very important matter. "I want to arrange a marriage for my sister Hongyan before I leave. Cousin, do you think Huo Siwu is a reliable man? Can you entrust your life to him?"
