Chapter 48 The Destined One

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Amused by Meng Fang's anxious look, the old general laughed heartily.

"Meng Fang, this is the first time I know that you are a person with such heavy thoughts."

Seeing the general making fun of him, he let go of his deflated ball, and the anxious look slowly dissipated from his face.

"Do you still remember that Master Mingshan came to look for me when I left Beijing?"

Meng Fang naturally knew this.

Master Mingshan met the old general at night. The two talked alone in the study for a long time, but the old general did not tell anyone the content of the conversation.

Could it be...

Is it related to Xiaojiu?

"Yes." Seeing that Meng Fang guessed it, General Xiao nodded, "It's exactly what you thought."

Master Mingshan is as famous as the National Master. Although he himself does not like the complicated things in the world, he often discusses Buddhism with His Majesty and has won His Majesty's trust.

If the mage really told the old general about Xiao Jiu, then the general should have made complete plans to bring the boy back now.

Thinking of this, Meng Fang's hanging heart finally settled down.

"When Master Mingshan came to look for me, he directly stated that Xiaojiu, a child, would have a very difficult future. People around him must not care too much about him, otherwise it would lead to an even crueler fate for him."

"So after I brought him to Fengcheng, I put him in Zhuangzi and ignored him, just to make his life easier."

These words of General Xiao also revealed another question for Meng Fang.

No wonder, at first, he was forced to live in exile because General Xiao Jiulao could bear a bad reputation, but then he became indifferent to him after he settled down.

It seems that this is all to follow the way of heaven.

"General, please bring Xiao Jiu back now. Did Master Mingshan tell you the age at which you can get close to him?"

"no."

The old general shook his head and said slowly, "Master Mingshan only told me that there is only one person in this world who can completely change his dilapidated destiny."

Meng Fang was stunned by these words, and then he thought of the reason why Xiaojiu entered the house.

"Is it the little lady?!"

"I'm not sure about this." Mr. Xiao looked out the window in the direction of Su Qingtian's yard, "Master Mingshan didn't say who the other party was."

"He just warned me to wait patiently and let nature take its course, and the destined person will appear and rescue Xiaojiu."

"Today Xiao Qingtian didn't like anyone. She chose Xiao Jiu at a glance. In my opinion, this is fate's arrangement."

"Since Xiaojiu can return home safely, we just need to wait and see what happens."

Meng Fang has seen the misfortune that Xiao Jiu experienced before, and he has always remembered those people who got too close to him and died innocently and tragically.

"How are your arrangements going?"

"When are you going to set off to buy military rations?"

General Xiao didn't want to get entangled with Meng Fang about Xiao Jiu, so he directly changed the topic to a more important one.

Meng Fang naturally understood what General Xiao meant.

He cupped his fists and reported: "My subordinates have taken care of military matters, and the manpower for purchasing military rations has also been arranged."

"I have asked Meng Kang to prepare the carriage and horses. It is estimated that the round trip will take five days."

"Okay, you ask your nephew to keep an eye on it secretly and make sure nothing goes wrong in the military camp."

Mr. Xiao knows that the boy Meng Kang does things properly.

He nodded with satisfaction, "It's just that the time is a little short. If we add another five days, you can visit a few more counties."

"Is ten days too long?"

Meng Fang was a little worried.

"If my absence for too long causes unnecessary suspicion, I'm afraid some people will cause trouble secretly."

"This is Fengcheng guarded by the Xiao family army. If I can't hold it down for ten days, why should I be a general?" Mr. Xiao snorted coldly, "I might as well resign and go home to plant sweet potatoes!"

Seeing General Xiao's confident look, Meng Fang said nothing more and could only sigh secretly.

It's not that the general is not as capable as he is, but there are some subtle issues that the general rarely deals with. Once someone with intentions infiltrates through the cracks, it will become a big trouble in the future.

Hope everything goes well.

In another small courtyard, a maid in green clothes was busy tidying up the house.

Hehua was informed by the old housekeeper early in the morning that the young lady had brought a guard back today and was going to live in the young lady's own small courtyard. She brought a thick bedding and was making a bed for the unseen guard.

"Sister Lotus~~"

Su Qingtian pulled Xiaojiu into the courtyard and walked around the house without seeing any lotus flowers. She raised her voice and called out.

Hearing the little master's voice, Hehua quickly put down her work and went out.

"Little Miss, I am cleaning the house for the guard Xiao Jiu." Seeing the emaciated Xiao Jiu, He Hua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "There are freshly made pastries in the house. Little Miss, if you are hungry, use some first.

"

Xiao Gongsun's guard Lu is strong and strong, so why did his young lady choose such a weak young man?

He Hua kept her face concealed, but in her heart she didn't quite agree with Xiao Jiu's ability to take on the role of a guard.

Su Qingtian looked at the room He Hua came out of. It was really far away from her main house.

She blinked her eyes and thought for a moment, then said immediately.

"Sister Hehua, go and clear out the wing of my house. Brother Xiaojiu will live there from now on."

"this……"

Hehua looked shocked.

The wing room is usually a place where the personal maid can live to serve the master. It is separated from the main house by a door.

There is no rule in any house that servants or guards live in the young lady's side room.

She was about to open her mouth to persuade, but suddenly she remembered the old housekeeper's previous instructions, and she endured it and nodded in agreement.

Hehua turned around and moved the newly laid bedding into the penthouse.

"Little Master."

Su Qingtian's arrangement made Xiao Jiuer's face turn red.

He whispered, "No one other than a personal maid can stay in the lady's penthouse at will, especially men."

"Why?"

The little girl tilted her head and looked at Xiaojiu from bottom to top with a puzzled face. Xiaojiujiu shook his head without knowing why, as if he was also asking, "Why?"

The whole body is cute and tight.

Xiao Jiu looked down at his little master's clear eyes, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Sanhua, the only one in Zhuangzi who dared to get close to him. He subconsciously rubbed his fingertips.

"Men cannot approach women when no one is around."

"If the young one lives here, it will hinder the young master's future marriage."

"What is a marriage proposal?"

"..."

Su Qingtian is like a curious baby, asking questions one after another.

Xiaojiu was a little overwhelmed by the question and didn't know how to explain or answer.

He sighed secretly, feeling somewhat helpless against his little master.

It seems that the old general also dotes on the young lady, even if it is unreasonable and willful.

Why.

Fortunately, the little master is still young now, so he can live there.

When she gets older, she can take the initiative to move out of the penthouse.

At this time, a golden light of merit flew in the sky, it was Fang Dawei.

Presumably, he has found Dabao's body and will not only clear his name but also apprehend the real murderer.

Su Qingtian was a little disgusted, and with a flick of her middle finger, the golden light of merit entered Xiao Jiu's body.
