After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her
Chapter 179 Gentleman’s Appointment
The carriage gradually moved away, and Ming Zhan said through the curtain: "Miss Cheng, I was reckless just now, please forgive me."
Cheng Songan understood what he meant. He was a foreign man, and it seemed rude no matter how he looked at it, for him to go to the villa of a woman who had just divorced and lived alone to have tea.
She lifted the corner of the curtain and said, "General Ming, you are venting your anger for me. I understand."
Ming Zhan smiled slightly: "Miss Cheng, please call me Xiu Rong in the future. If you need me to vent your anger, I will be happy to serve you."
Young people's love is always simple, direct, and superficial.
"Rongdi has not made any movement for a long time. I guess they are gathering their strength." Cheng Songan didn't want to continue that topic and abruptly turned to the northwest. Since Ming Zhan had helped her this time, she had to repay him.
Speaking of the war, Ming Zhan immediately lost his shyness and nodded, "Rongdi has never given up the idea of counterattack, but they suffered heavy losses in the last battle, and I am afraid they will not be able to fight back for a while."
Cheng Songan asked a few more questions, none of which involved any secrets. Ming Zhan was very happy to talk to her, and even told her a lot about the local customs and culture there. He himself didn't know that he had such a talkative side.
When the time was right, Cheng Songan asked casually, "The Rongdi tribe has existed for a hundred years, and I'm afraid their fate is not over yet. If they want to counterattack, they must have a trick up their sleeve."
Ming Zhan was young and energetic, and he grew up in a military camp. He knew much more about the Rongdi than he did about the affairs of the court in the capital. He did not agree with what he heard. In addition, the Rongdi had been fighting for power internally in recent years and were on the verge of fragmentation. It would be better to take this opportunity to attack their lair and wipe them out completely.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Cheng Songan vaguely guessed that he was ambushed and killed because he underestimated his enemies in his previous life. But if he advised him frankly at this time, he would definitely think that he was looking down on him, which would be counterproductive.
"The current king of Rongdi is already sixty-three years old. I'm afraid he won't be able to sit on this throne for many more years." Cheng Songan reminded, "I heard that people on the grasslands have a shorter lifespan than people in the Central Plains. Maybe this will happen in the past two years."
She remembered that the king of Rongdi in her previous life would die after this summer. When he died, Rongdi was in chaos for a while, but the situation was soon controlled by the ruthless third son. This new king was more ambitious and not only wanted to annex the northwest, but also attempted to invade the Central Plains from the south.
The reason was that there were droughts in the north and floods in the south, and the national strength was not enough to support the war. Therefore, the northwest could hold out for two years, all thanks to the old general Ming who guarded the border and cultivated land. A few years later, Duan Zhuyu was sent to marry again, which won two years of peace for Daqian. Only then could Lu Qingshan regroup and take back the five towns in the northern border after recuperation.
Sure enough, when Ming Zhan heard this, he suddenly remembered that the old king of Rongdi was indeed in decline, and his sons were fighting fiercely, so it would be better to use a strategy of sowing discord.
He once again looked towards the carriage with the curtains lowered, and said softly, "Miss Cheng, everything in the capital is good, except that the fruits in the northwest are not as sweet. If you get bored, why don't you go to the northwest one day?"
As they were talking, the carriage stopped and we arrived at Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa.
Cheng Songan leaned out of the car and smiled at him: "Xiu Rong, your name has a good meaning. Before you charge into battle, think about the people in the capital who care about you. Don't rush in."
"Maybe one day I will get tired and dress up as a man to go and see the smoke in the desert. Don't let me die in Rongdi."
Ming Zhan's heart moved, and he took out a small token from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Miss Cheng, if one day you go to the northwest, please look for me in the army. I will take you to shoot a Gyrfalcon."
Ning Zhao once boasted to him that his master's wife had given him a spring water pattern, called a falcon pecking a goose, which was a Saker Falcon chasing a swan. He thought at the time that this girl must be ambitious, and if he had the chance, he would definitely shoot a Saker Falcon for her.
Cheng Songan's eyes lit up. Yes, the world is so big. There are the mountains and rivers of Yizhou and the desert of the northwest. She can go anywhere. Her life is still long, so it's time for her to go out and see the world.
There was the sound of carriages not far away. It was quiet here, and there were few carriages coming with such momentum. Cheng Songan turned around and saw that the person looked familiar. Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Zhongwen had already leaned out and shouted, "Cheng Songan!"
Oh no! Cheng Songan wanted to let Ming Zhan go first, but it was too late. His father came to call him to task.
The reason why the Cheng family did not make any move after the imperial edict was issued for several days was that every year after the second day of the first lunar month, the Cheng family would return to Yizhou to worship their ancestors, especially Cheng Songan's grandfather, whose death anniversary was on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month. The emperor also graciously allowed him to return to court after the first lunar month. That was why Cheng Songan dared to act first and report later, and obtained the imperial edict for a peaceful divorce.
Cheng Zhongwen was very angry. He called her by her name while still outside. As soon as the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the car. It seemed that he had not returned to the Cheng Mansion yet. Feng and Lin also stuck their heads out.
"You are so bold that you even divorced your husband!" Cheng Zhongwen raised his beard to one side and almost came over to pull her ear.
Cheng Songan wanted to laugh. After pretending to be a lady from a noble family for so many years, she almost forgot how her father beat her when she got into trouble in the past.
"Master Cheng, wait a minute!" Ming Zhan stood in front of Cheng Songan, "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Cheng. It's Master Cui's fault."
Cheng Zhongwen calmed down when he saw Ming Zhan was there. Feng and Lin also got off the carriage and kept asking questions.
Ming Zhan briefly pushed the blame onto Cui Yuanqing and just brushed Cheng Wanxin off.
Feng's eyes widened with anger, and she was about to scold him. Fortunately, Lin stopped her in time, and Feng stopped talking. She looked Ming Zhan up and down, and suddenly smiled and said, "Your father and I grew up together in the northwest. I didn't expect that our children would grow up this big."
Then he pinched Cheng Zhongwen and said, "Master, let's go back home first and let Yun Dai go back tomorrow. It won't be too late to scold her then."
After hearing Ming Zhan's words, Cheng Zhongwen felt that he had wronged his eldest daughter. He was still holding his breath and said with a dark face, "Okay, Yun Dai, come back in a few days. I will go to Guishan Villa with your mother."
Oh, no wonder Cui Yuanqing wanted to bring Cheng Wanxin into the mansion in advance. It turned out that he got the news of his father's return early in the morning, and knew that they would definitely go to Guishan Villa to hold them accountable, so he took her away in advance.
Cheng Songan curled her lips and did not remind them. After her father and mother returned, the servants would report to them. There was no need for her to say anything as if she was complaining.
After seeing his father and mother off, Cheng Songan said to Ming Zhan with embarrassment, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Please forgive me."
Ming Zhan didn't laugh. He felt that Feng's words were a reminder to him, so he mustered up his courage and said, "Miss Cheng, can you make a gentleman's agreement about your trip to the northwest?"
"You are not a gentleman. Why should I make a gentleman's agreement with you?" The voice was as sharp as a knife, merciless.
Cui Yuanqing walked over like a ghost.
