The heavy snow that has troubled everyone for a long time finally stopped after a month of continuous snowfall. The sun came out and the sky cleared up.
The next day after the sky cleared, Bai Meng led his brothers and escorted ten carriages and set off back to Beijing.
The two female shadows sent by Song Jinyu and Song Jue still pretended to be Bai Meng's bodyguards, no different from when they came. Originally, Shen Cha was thinking of arranging a few more people for her, but Song Jinyu said that it would be easier to attract others' attention, so it was better to maintain the status quo.
Even so, Shen Cha still asked Ying Four and Ying Thirteen to sneak into the accompanying soldiers with a few people. In addition to protecting the safety of the princess, more importantly, they were guarding the batch of gold.
"Once you find someone acting suspiciously, don't hesitate, just take the person down. If you resist, shoot without mercy!"
Before the large army set off, Shen Cha specially called for Ying Si and Ying Thirteen, gave them some instructions, and gave the secret message to Song Jue to Ying Thirteen, asking him to go to Xijing and deliver it to His Majesty.
Watching Bai Meng's team leave, the few people standing on the tower finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Without any danger, we finally sent these two giant Buddhas back. No major problems occurred. I'm really thankful to God." Xue Ruitian stretched out after returning to Nuange of the Duke's Mansion. He took off his outer cloak and sat directly in front of the brazier. He warmed himself by the fire and said, "However, with this boy Bai Meng gone, the military camp will become deserted. Without this boy pestering the soldiers to compete all day long, there would probably be many People don’t get used to it in a short period of time.”
"Don't worry, I believe it won't take long for the commander-in-chief to come back. I guess..." Jin Jing sat next to Xue Ruitian and handed him a bowl of ginger soup, "It will only take five years at most, so, There is no need to feel regretful or empty, because when the time comes, he will come back and be even more annoying."
"Five years?"
"Eh?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, who had been immersed in official duties after returning to Nuange and designing the order and schedule of the entire competition, raised their heads and looked at Xue Ruitian when they heard Xue Ruitian's words. Shen Cha picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Brother Xiaotian...don't you know?"
"What do you know?" Xue Ruitian shook his head in confusion, "What should I...know?"
"The Commander-in-Chief and Sister Xiaoyu did express their feelings to each other. The two of them decided to think about it for a while. If at this time next year, or during the Chinese New Year, their feelings for each other are still the same as they are now. The Commander-in-Chief will ask His Majesty to grant the marriage." Shen Cha put aside part of the schedule that he had already written, "Didn't Commander-in-Chief or Sister Xiaoyu tell Brother Xiaotian?"
"You actually didn't tell me about such a big thing, but you all knew about it. Am I not the person closest to them and the one who should know the most?" Ask these two bastards.”
"If they don't tell you, they must have their concerns and don't want you to worry about them." Jin Jing comforted, "Didn't we agree that we will still be together for another year? If there are any changes, I will tell you in advance. Yes, it also makes you worry about them. They probably think this is not good, so they don’t want to tell you."
"I think so too." Shen Cha added, "Not only do you not know, but the two county princes also don't know."
"They are still children. Don't get involved in adults' affairs. If you don't know, just don't know!" Although he said this, the depression on Xue Ruitian's face was obviously much less than before. "Also, I don't quite understand. Now that we have made clear our feelings for each other, we can ask Song Jue to marry us now. They are both very young, so why should we delay it until next year?" He took Jin Jing's hand. He took a bite of the frozen pear that was handed over and said, "Wait until next year, if the two people's minds change, this marriage...can't happen again?"
"The emperor is not worried and the eunuch is not worried. Neither of them is worried that such a situation will happen. Why are you worrying so blindly?" Jin Jing rolled her eyes at Xue Ruitian. "They are willing to do this because they must be doing good to themselves and each other." If you have confidence, you won’t have to be so anxious!”
"But..." Xue Ruitian still frowned, "Half a year is enough, why does it have to be one year?"
"Brother Xiaotian, since it is for one year, it makes sense."
"What's the truth?" Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow, "What's the truth?"
"You eat pears, listen to me tell you slowly." Jin Jing patted Xue Ruitian's arm and stuffed a large plate of frozen pears into his arms, "First of all, the engagement between Xiao Yu and Zhao Yinhe, although It was a set-up, but if Zhao Yinhe's extra-chamber incident hadn't happened, Xiao Yu would have married to Prince Yihe's mansion now, right? I talked with Xiao Yu, and although I knew it was a set-up, when talking to Zhao Yin During the contact with Zhao Yinhe, she couldn't help but be attracted by Zhao Yinhe, she gave her sincerity, and she had the slightest expectation for her future life in Prince Yihe's Mansion."
"Is this what she told you?" , really attentive.”
"Girls, after all, are different from us." Jin Jing glanced at Shen Cha secretly and found that she didn't care about her words, and continued, "But the reality was not what she expected. Zhao Yinhe... He slapped her in the mouth. Therefore, she needs a certain amount of time to relieve her emotions. This cannot be completed in one or two months. Bai Meng understands her mood very well, so she is willing to wait for her. Also , what does the commander-in-chief mean? The engagement between Xiao Yu and Zhao Yinhe has just been terminated, and Zhao Yinhe has ended up like that again. Yu Xiaoyu's reputation has been damaged. If he asks your majesty to grant a marriage now, those people may not necessarily make it up. What are you talking about, Xiaoyu, so why don’t you mention the matter of marriage until the limelight is over?"
"Is this what Bai Meng said?"
"Yes!" Jin Jing nodded affirmatively, "Don't say it, the commander-in-chief is quite thoughtful."
"This guy has good intentions. I really saw him right." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Among the young masters in Xijing, he is the only one who is worthy of Xiao Yu."
"You are really difficult to take care of." Jin Jing snatched a frozen pear from Xue Ruitian's plate, "If Bai Meng really becomes your brother-in-law, you may not be able to control others!"
"Shouldn't it be right?" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin, who had always been obsessed with official duties, and raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy never participated in such topics, and was never very interested in such things. It was as if he was not eating. Just like fireworks in the world. He and Jin Jing exchanged a look, and the two of them shook their heads helplessly, "Forget it, since they have their own plans, I won't ask any more questions."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. They are not children anymore. They can solve their own affairs by themselves."
At this time, Ying Wu pushed open the door of Nuan Pavilion and walked in from the outside, saluting several people.
"Why are you here?" Shen Cha put down the pen in his hand, "What happened?"
"Duan Xinglong asked to see the Duke and the boss, saying that he had something very important to tell you."
