Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

After packing Xu Minghuai's personal belongings with cloth, Zhou Shu looked up at Xu Minghuai and began to say some specious words.

"I like the general so much, so I should make sure that the general can leave Wu'an County and return to Wu'an County."

The tacit truth between the two was that after Xie Yan and Xie Chongan called Xu Minghuai back to the capital, they would not easily let Xu Minghuai return to the border.

When the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.

Zong Xu Minghuai had arranged for his cronies to arrange all opportunities to return to the border, but with Zheng Xingye present, Zhou Shu had to be on guard.

Xu Minghuai put his luggage on his back and stared at Zhou Shu for a long time.

"Xiao Shu, it seems that you have become different since you came back from the capital."

In the past, the young general would just turn away when faced with teasing, but now he dared to look her in the eye.

Zhou Shu felt that Xu Minghuai had made great progress.

Faced with such a straightforward and naked gaze, Zhou Shu did not retreat but advanced: "What's different? Is it different that allows the general to change from carrying his subordinates on his shoulders to hugging them by the waist?"

Xu Minghuai had always been unable to handle Zhou Shu like this. His heart was beating like a drum. Xu Minghuai wanted to retreat, but he couldn't move his feet.

The bugle call for the soldiers returning to the capital was heard outside the mansion. Zhou Shu stepped on the low stool at his feet and placed his hands on Xu Minghuai's shoulders.

Seeing with his own eyes the veins on Xu Minghuai's neck bulging and the blush surging, Zhou Shu smiled and kissed Xu Minghuai between his eyebrows.

"Xu Minghuai, I'm waiting for your safe return in Wu'an County."

His seemingly calm behavior revealed his emotions due to the trembling of his fingertips.

The last layer of fig leaf was torn off by Zhou Shu. At this moment, what was before Xu Minghuai's eyes was whether he wanted it or not? To marry or not to marry?

Holding Zhou Shu's waist with one hand, he lifted him off the low stool. : "Don't stand too high, you may fall down easily."

The corners of Zhou Shu's lips were slightly curved. How could she fall off the stool: "Okay, I will be more careful in the future. I will definitely fall and make the general feel distressed."

Walking towards the outside of the house with the silver gun in hand, Xu Minghuai smiled freely and wantonly: "Next time, Xu can bend down and lower his head to Miss Zhou."

Standing at the door, looking at the red-tasseled gun fluttering in the northwest wind, Zhou Shu raised his hand to cover his burning ears.

Being teased into such a state by Xu Minghuai's words, Zhou Shu felt that his previous life was really in vain.

Disappointing.

Speeding up the horse, Xu Minghuai entered from the east gate of the capital with three hundred clanging iron cavalry. The people of the capital, who had not welcomed a returning victorious general in more than ten years, showed unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Mars!"

"Mars!"

Fruits and melons were thrown all the way, and cheers were welcomed all the way.

The young faces of the soldiers following Xu Minghuai, carved by the wind and sand, were full of sincere joy.

They risked their lives to protect the land under their feet, and the people who were protected gave them the warmest joy.

However, Xu Minghuai, who is now twenty years old and has been promoted to the second rank of Hussars General, has a solemn look on his face, with no trace of a smile.

"Why doesn't General Xu look happy?"

"Have you forgotten that the coffin that was carried back to the capital half a month ago was his elder brother?"

"Alas, it must be a pity that General Xu didn't even have time to attend his brother's funeral in order to defend the territory."

"General Xiao Xu was guarding the border with his life, but the emperor directly killed his brother in order to cover up the death of the late emperor and empress. If this happens to me, I might have to kill him back to the capital."

"I heard from people in the Criminal Department that Mr. Xu has been investigating the case for so long, but in the end he left no evidence or conclusion at all. No one can avenge the wise king for him anymore."

"Yes, if it hadn't happened suddenly, King Xian would have married Princess Mingyue and returned home."

"There are frequent changes in the capital right now. I don't know if Princess Mingyue and Prince Xian will survive after the three-year filial piety period."

"Oh, what a good group of people, why did they end up like this?"

"We should worry more about ourselves. Even people with a background like Zhen Guogong's mansion can't survive. Our future life will be even more difficult."

……

The date of return to Beijing was one day earlier than scheduled, and Xu Minghuai could not enter the palace hastily without being welcomed by the royal family.

It's not that Xu Minghuai can't return to the capital as time goes by, but that he is really worried about his family and wants to go home first.

After sending his personal guards to the palace to report the news, Xu Minghuai led his cavalry directly towards the Zhenguo Palace.

He stood up and dismounted in front of the mansion gate. The coldness was filled with the desolation of things just passing away, which made Xu Minghuai suddenly feel a sense of desolation.

And under the desolation, the warmth of happiness slowly climbed up.

If they hadn't been prepared, if they hadn't planned it for ten years, who could guarantee that when Xu Minghuai returned today, it wasn't a real funeral?

People in this world may have thought that it was Xu Mingyue's divine will that dragged the Zhenguo Palace into such a hot and humiliating situation, but the Xu family never thought that way.

Before meeting the Mingjun, he was still in the forest, and the suspicion that Zhenguo's government encountered was ultimately due to his strength, which was enough to make the king jealous.

And the woman Xu Mingyue is just a pawn in the chess game of power.

And they were able to find a way out in such a desperate situation. It was six-year-old Yaoyao who saved the whole family of Zhenguo Gongfu.

It was the fourteen-year-old Yaoyao who, through the mediation of power, put the filthiness of the Tian family in front of the people of the world, so that the future government of the country would obey the heaven and the people whether they would rebel or not.

The personal guards of the mansion surrounded the study. Xu Minghuai was led into the study by the unhappy butler. He looked at the silent family members sitting in the room, his brows furrowed into vertical and horizontal peaks.

Although the people in the study are not in a state of disrepair or dying, their faces are pale and gray, which is really too ugly to look at.

Especially Xu Mingyue, on this day when summer was about to begin, she was lying sickly on a recliner covered with a blanket.

No matter how realistic the acting is, it shouldn't be so taxing.

Kneeling on one knee in front of Xu Mingyue and exploring Xu Mingyue's forehead, Xu Minghuai felt that it was really hot.

His hands turned into folding fans to fan Xu Mingyue. Xu Minghuai was still confused about which song was being sung in front of him.

"Dad, aunt, second brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Mingyue took the handkerchief and rubbed her eyes, and the tears really fell down: "Brother, I won't blame you for coming back too late."

Xu Minghuai was so distressed that she took out her handkerchief to wipe Xu Mingyue's tears, but she began to feel guilty in her heart.

It was all his fault for not telling his family the truth in advance.

But his brother warned that it is easy to make mistakes if informed in advance. Under such an opportunity, any mistake will lead to the whole game being lost.

Although his father was indeed not very good at times, it was impossible for the other three people in the family not to notice something fishy?

Xu Minghuai asked: "Didn't you check the body?"
