Chapter 121
On the north side of Qingshi Street, Zhengnan General's Mansion, a young man with vegetables came to the door.

Seeing him continue to move forward, the guards on the side stopped in front of the gate and asked sharply, "What are you doing?"

"You two military lords, I'm here to deliver food to the family. I agreed with the butler yesterday. Please, military lord, let me in. Otherwise, the food won't be fresh if there is a delay."

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them went to the mansion.After a while, the butler personally led him into the mansion.

"This dish looks good and fresh."

"It came from the house, so it's naturally very fresh."

Outsiders couldn't hear this conversation, but the two of them knew it well. When they came to the kitchen, the housekeeper sent the others away and said seriously, "But there is some news."

The young man who carried the vegetables put down his pole, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over.After the butler took it, he put it into his arms immediately, and then deliberately loudly said: "Oh, your dish is really good. The more I look at it, the more I am satisfied. If the masters think it is good, I will ask you to give it to me."

"Thank you, butler, for your attention. I'll take my leave now, little one."

After leaving the kitchen, the butler purposely walked around the other yards before going to the study.

In the study, Li Cheng was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning.

"Master, Lord Hao sent someone to deliver a letter to you."

"Bring it quickly."

After opening the letter, there was only one sentence written on it. "Defeated and wounded, return home as soon as possible."

Li Cheng understood, but still couldn't be happy.Sighing, he threw the letter into the brazier, watched the letter paper turn into ashes, and then said, "Forget it, the sky is about to change, and manpower is too difficult."

The butler at the side has been with Li Cheng for many years, seeing him like this naturally knows that the current situation is not optimistic.So he asked with a worried face: "Does the master want to write back to Mr. Hao?"

"No, the emperor has already closely monitored us. Brother Hao's doing so today is already very risky. This letter is absolutely unacceptable and cannot be answered."

"Order, the general is about to go out. In the near future, the general's mansion will avoid visitors, and the people in the mansion will not be allowed to move around with the outside world."

"Yes, the old slave understands, so let's do it now." Saying that, he exited the study.

At the Zhengxi General's Mansion on the south side of Qingshi Street, even before Jiang Wei got off the carriage, he ordered the housekeeper to close the door and thank the guests, while he went to the study alone.

Jiang Wei's study room is an independent courtyard, and people inside and outside are not allowed to approach it on weekdays, but they are cleaned regularly.The people here are not only the maids and servants in the mansion, but also his wife.

Jiang Wei entered the study and glanced at the direction of the bookshelf beside him.He said coldly: "Since you're here, why bother to hide."

"The general is really good at hearing." Saying that, the man came out from behind the bookshelf.

Jiang Wei looked gloomy, "Didn't I tell you not to come to me if you have nothing to do?"

The man didn't care about his face, went straight to the front of the couch and sat down, took a bite of the apple on the table. "The south is better than the frontiers. I can't eat this fruit except for the royal family."

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Wei asked through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, the general will eat one too? Forget it, you probably won't be able to eat it either."

Jiang Wei stopped talking, and returned to his seat with a dark face, staring at the man in front of him.There is also infinite remorse in my heart, but in the officialdom, if I make a wrong step, there is never a way back.

The man finally finished eating the apple in his hand slowly, and took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his hands.He smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, this king is here to help the general. Presumably, your old emperor has received a secret report and is ready to attack Yue and Li."

"What the hell do you know!"

 The new year has begun, Xuezai wishes everyone a happy new year and wishes come true.
