The general went out again at night + extra episode

Except for Zhao Xuexin who will suffer some jail time, everyone in the Zhao Mansion can celebrate the new year happily.

The two of the Zhou family were immersed in the joy of self-conception, and left first with a farewell. Xia Qingshu and Hong Hewang walked slowly outside the hall side by side.

On the square in front of Fengxian Hall, the sun is just right and the sky is vast and blue. It is no different than in this golden hall, where intrigues make people feel cold all over.

Stepping down the stone steps, the two walked into the warm sun.

"I know you have something to ask me, ask me." After walking a certain distance, the two of them reached a remote palace road, Hong Hewang suddenly spoke out with a kind smile on his face.

Xia Qingshu stopped, turned sideways, and asked with a frown: "This whole plan is clearly my idea. Master Hong knows it. The emperor wants to punish me, and I should be punished. Why didn't Master Hong tell the emperor?" Tell me, but you want to take the blame for me instead?"

Hong Hewang's sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, then returned to Xia Qingshu's face, and smiled: "Let's go, talk while walking."

"Okay." Xia Qingshu followed him.

Hong Hewang stroked his long beard, and said slowly: "Fortunately, I know this strategy. Fortunately, only I know."

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Qingshu asked puzzled.

"The previous sentence said that I knew the whole plan before I could say today's matter was my idea. The meaning of the latter sentence is that fortunately, I was the one who relayed the whole plan when I told Mr. Zhou, and he also thought the whole plan Made by me."

After a while, Hong Hewang said again: "It's all in one place. Fortunately, I can take the blame for you. Do you know what will happen to a person who can lead troops to win battles and plan to eliminate traitors?"

"The emperor's fear." Suddenly, Xia Qingshu fully understood.

Hong Hewang's smile deepened: "You are very smart, you know everything. You are a military commander with great military exploits, but you must not show off your intelligence and wisdom in government and opposition politics, otherwise it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion and fear." .Your Majesty will be in danger once you turn your mind to that end..."

Xia Qingshu understood the meaning of Hong Hewang's words, stopped quickly, bowed to Hong Hewang and saluted: "Thank you, Uncle Hong, for saving Qingshu from a catastrophe today, Qingshu is very grateful !"

"Get up." Hong Hewang helped Xia Qingshu up, and said earnestly: "I am also thinking about Dayan, and Dayan's frontier cannot live without you. In the future, you will concentrate on leading troops to fight and defend Dayan's frontier. If you can not interfere, then do not interfere."

"Qingshu knows, Xie Hongshu for pointing it out."

Chapter 25

Outside Chengtianmen, Liuyan has been waiting for a long time.Behind her were several servants from Fuyuan General's Mansion, and a group of people stood around the carriage.The official sedan chair of the Hong Mansion stopped beside them, and the person who looked like the head housekeeper kept looking into the open palace gate.

"Here we come!" At about the end of the day, the servant of the Hong Mansion yelled, and the group of people cast their gazes over.

Hong Hewang walked in the front, Xia Qingshu walked a little behind, the two talked and laughed, and got along very well.

"We are not on the way, so we bid farewell." Walking outside the palace gate, Hong Hewang smiled sideways.

"Okay, Lord Hong go slowly." Xia Qingshu clasped his fists and said.

Watching Hong He Wang get into the sedan chair, Xia Qingshu came back to his senses and looked at the servants of the General's Mansion.

"General, shall we also go back to the residence?" Liu Yan asked.

"Go to the Governor's Mansion." Xia Qingshu frowned, with a little sadness in his eyes.

Liu Yan was keenly aware of something, kept silent, and whispered to the coachman to drive faster.

There were two carriages that Xia Qingshu ordered Liu Yan to prepare before leaving the house. Xia Qingshu sat in the front one by himself, while the rear one was empty.

After a little thought, Liu Yan knew what she was going to do when she went to the Dudu Mansion, and they were going to pick up Qu Yong.

Qu Yong's body was kept in the cold cellar of the Dudu Mansion for five days, and the body did not rot.It's just that now that the injustice has been rehabilitated, it's time to go to the grave as soon as possible.

Along the way, Xia Qingshu remained expressionless, her eyes always downcast, her hands crossed in front of her, and she never spoke a word.Sitting beside her, Liu Yan didn't dare to say much, she could feel the pain in the general's heart, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

The coffin was loaded into the carriage, and the group drove towards the gate of the capital city.Half an hour later, they arrived at a hillside on the west side of Quzhuang, where Qu Yong's wife, daughter and mother were already waiting.

Xia Qingshu originally planned to hold a beautiful funeral for Qu Yong after the truth came out, but Qu Yong's mother hoped that everything would be kept simple and that he could be buried sooner.Xia Qingshu followed her wishes and didn't argue too much, because she was the one who owed them.

If she had thought more about it and sent one more person to protect Qu Yong, Qu Yong might not have died.

Qu's mother found a few folks, and everyone worked together to move the coffin down.The lid of the coffin was lifted, and the young and old of the Qu family said their final farewell.

Rao had learned the news five days ago, and kept preparing himself mentally, but when that lifeless face appeared in front of him, tears still rolled down his face.

Qu Yong's daughter is still young and doesn't know the pain of parting from life and death. She just bites her fingers and makes a sound of "Yi Ya Yi Ya", not knowing what she is talking about, and looks at everything around her with big eyes timidly.

Xia Qingshu turned her face away, not daring to look at him, nor did she dare to see this scene where there were no wailing, only tears.She felt unspeakable pain in her heart, as if something was stuck in her chest, stuffy and breathless.
