Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Wuying walked into the west wing with a happy look on his face, "Master, good news."

Chu Xuanchi raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, "You are so excited, but has my plan come true?"

He had said before that within seven days, the issue of the Iron Cavalry would have a result, and today was the sixth day.

"Yes, His Majesty has decided to hand over the Iron Cavalry's military command to you again." Only such a big thing could make Wuying excited.

Mo Zhaohua immediately put down the work in his hands, looked up and smiled at Chu Xuanchi, "Congratulations, husband, you finally got what you wanted."

Chu Xuanchi was calm, "Three thousand cavalrymen are not worth Zhao Zhao's happiness. It is great to be able to regain control of the military power."

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers he previously commanded in southern Xinjiang, the three thousand cavalrymen were indeed not worth mentioning. That was the real military power.

Mo Zhaohua shook his head, "No, it's worth it. Under the current circumstances, it's impossible for His Majesty to return all military power, and this is a good start."

"Princess, you are right. Master, don't be anxious. Take it step by step. I believe that sooner or later you will get back everything that belongs to you."

Wuying has great confidence in Chu Xuanchi. He would rather be a guard than stay in the army, just to be able to follow closely.

Otherwise, with his own abilities, coupled with Chu Xuanchi's prestige and connections in the Southern Xinjiang Army, he would have no worries about not having a chance to succeed.

Mo Zhaohua also agreed, "I also believe in my husband. Good things have happened one after another recently, which shows that my husband's situation is getting better."

Wuying gloated, "This is all thanks to Nan Zhao's assassination. When they find out that their master has gained military power, they will probably regret it, right?"

Chu Xuanchi then pursed his lips and smiled, "It doesn't matter whether they regret it or not. Father will definitely be unhappy. After all, they were forced to give in."

Mo Zhaohua was also happy when he thought of Emperor Wenzong's anger. "It is true that fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and misfortune and fortune are interdependent. The ancients were not deceiving me."

Wuying went out quickly. He had to contact the leader of the Iron Cavalry. They were old acquaintances.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua also continued to be busy. They sat opposite each other and could see the person they loved just by looking up.

Soon after, Shuying came in again and reported, "Master, someone has come from the palace."

Chu Xuanchi already knew that he was here to deliver the tiger talisman. "You came pretty quickly. Has Zhaozhao ever seen the tiger talisman?"

Mo Zhaohua stood up and prepared to go out with him. "How can a girl like me see such an important thing?"

The tiger talisman can be used to dispatch corresponding military forces. It has always been kept secret, so how could it be displayed like a toy?

Chu Xuanchi just asked casually, "I thought that grandpa and uncle might quietly open Zhaozhao's eyes."

Mo Zhaohua explained, "Grandfather and uncle did not have military power after returning to Beijing. My uncle does have it now, but he is not in Shengjing."

Although Duke Fuguo and Rong Hai did not retire from the army, they both recuperated after returning and had no real power after leaving the battlefield.

It was only after Mo Zhaohua granted Rong Hai the marriage this year that Emperor Wenzong transferred him from a nominal position to a better position as compensation.

Rong Xiao held an important position in the Western Frontier Army and had the power to mobilize troops and generals. However, due to the constant war in the Western Frontier, he had no chance to return to Shengjing.

Chu Xuanchi chuckled, "It doesn't matter, Zhao Zhao will be able to see him soon."

Normally, people would convey imperial edicts in the front yard, but the people in the palace sympathized with Chu Xuanchi's inconvenience and went to the back yard on purpose.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua only need to go out of the west wing to receive the order, and then go back after finishing the task. Someone will take care of the people in the palace.

"Here...it's for you to play with." As soon as Chu Xuanchi entered the west wing, he handed the tiger talisman he had just obtained to Mo Zhaohua.

Mo Zhaohua took it and held it carefully, "My husband, this is a tiger talisman. It can be used to deploy troops. Why are you so casual?"

Chu Xuanchi asked indifferently, "Will Zhao Zhao use it to dispatch the three thousand cavalry?"

Mo Zhaohua carefully examined the tiger talisman, "Unless there is a need."

She thought the tiger talisman was a token, but it turned out to be half a piece of bronze in the shape of a tiger with an inscription engraved on it.

The tiger talisman is divided into two halves, with letter openings that can be put together. The left talisman is in the hands of the general, and others use the right talisman to mobilize troops.

For example, if someone wanted to mobilize the 3,000 cavalry, they would need to present a token for verification, and only then would the cavalry commanders obey orders.

Chu Xuanchi didn't need to do so, but he wouldn't do it, otherwise he would easily be framed as a private soldier and implicate the Iron Cavalry.

Privately raising troops has been a taboo since ancient times. He is not a stupid man and has never thought of usurping the throne, so there is no need for him to take risky actions.

Chu Xuanchi raised his eyebrows and asked Mo Zhaohua, "I wonder what is needed for Zhao Zhao?"

Mo Zhaohua answered without thinking, "If my husband is in danger and your majesty doesn't care, I will use this talisman to dispatch the Iron Cavalry to rescue my husband."

Chu Xuanchi's thin lips were stretched into a line of satisfaction. "In that case, Zhao Zhao, do you know why I could just throw the tiger talisman to you casually?"

Mo Zhaohua returned the tiger talisman to him and said, "I know. It shows my husband's trust in me."

"Ahem..." Shuying had seen them being so affectionate, and her face was a little embarrassed. "I'll take my leave first."

Mo Zhaohua didn't notice that he was still there. After all, this was the west wing, not the study door, so he thought he had left.

Chu Xuanchi deliberately said, "Next time when you send me in, be more considerate and avoid being boring."

Shuying paused and looked back at him, "Yes, next time I will turn around and run, and I promise not to stay a moment longer."

Mo Zhaohua looked at his fleeing back and suddenly had an idea, "Husband, how old are Wuying and Shuying?"

Chu Xuanchi immediately thought of her recent concerns, "Could it be that Zhao Zhao wants to marry Pearl and Amber to them?"

Mo Zhaohua has been selecting a suitable man for Zhenzhu for such a long time, but has not found one yet. He always feels that marrying her to anyone would be an injustice to her.

Especially when thinking of her tragic death in her previous life, Mo Zhaohua wanted to find a good man for her even more, and he mentioned it to Chu Xuanchi a few times in the past few days.

Mo Zhaohua didn't expect him to react so quickly. "I haven't said anything yet, how did my husband know what I was thinking?"

Chu Xuanchi did not answer, but refused, "Zhao Zhao, forget it. No guard will do. You should find a good match for Zhenzhu in the mansion."

Mo Zhaohua was puzzled and frowned slightly, "Why is this? Are guards not allowed to get married and have children?"

Chu Xuanchi explained, "They can't give Zhenzhu a stable life. If she really wants to marry, Yueying and Huaying are better."

Mo Zhaohua suddenly realized, "That's right, I didn't think it through enough, I will think about Zhenzhu's marriage carefully."

She knew without asking that Fengying was still young and not in a hurry to get married, so Yueying and Huaying were a perfect match for Wuying and Shuying.

Chu Xuanchi noticed that she was suddenly staring at him strangely, and asked suspiciously, "Why is Zhao Zhao looking at me like this?"

"Nothing." Mo Zhaohua guessed that he had already made plans for the guard's marriage, but since he never mentioned it, she didn't ask.
