Xiao Xiruo and Feng Wuyan had no intention of hiding this from Xiao Jing, so halfway through the meal, this important decision was pushed to their old father.
As the person who single-handedly established the Beiliang defense line and made the Beiyi cavalry flee several times, Xiao Jing can naturally glean a lot from the current situation in the Beiyi Royal Court.
Especially after the Beiyi Khan King fell ill, the question of who would take power in the new Beiyi Royal Court.
A direct prince and a prince of the Owl clan, the two should be completely different in terms of reputation and strategy, but Xiao Jing's years of experience and intuition told him that the latter must be more dangerous than the former.
Because only the tip of the iceberg is exposed, truly smart people also like to pretend to be harmless.
To be honest, he used to think that his son-in-law was just a flower vase, good-looking and useless. Even if he relied on conspiracy and tricks to suppress the foxes in the capital, he didn't necessarily have much foresight.
After all, those old foxes were so proud and complacent that they underestimated their enemies for more than a day or two. The little emperor more or less took advantage of their weakness.
Until today.
When Feng Wuyan firmly told him that they should let Sang Qing take over and treat Garuda as the secret agent, Xiao Jing knew that his son-in-law had really understood the situation.
Kill with admiration.
Or in other words, it forces some people to come out to the public and stop being those little mice who let loose in the gutter.
Rats that leave the gutter will always feel a lot of discomfort.
He agreed with the other party's plan, but he did not agree with his daughter and son-in-law becoming the implementers of this plan.
"One of you is the emperor, and the other is a noble concubine. No matter who causes problems on the territory of Beiyi, what will we, the veterans, do? Beiyi is no better than Dayan, and none of us are familiar with it..."
Before Xiao Jing finished speaking, Xiao Xiruo coughed weakly, then pointed at Feng Wuyan beside him and said:
"Dad, he's familiar."
Xiao Jing: "?"
However, a certain emperor actually nodded in cooperation, which made the old father's forehead twitch with anger.
"Familiar, okay, you are familiar with each other, right? What should you do if you are in danger? What should you do if your identity is revealed? What if there is a disease or pain on the road?"
When the old father asked his daughter what to answer, Xiao Xiruo immediately said:
"Dad, we are not fools. We will not run away when we are in danger. As for our identity, who would have thought that I, who should be recuperating in Beiliang, would suddenly run to Beiyi? Ayan is even more impossible, he
Aren’t you still attending court in the capital?”
"What about the disease? What should I do about your disease?"
The old father was obviously very angry, but Xiao Xiruo still said calmly:
"Dad, I have medicine, lots and lots of medicine!"
Seeing his father, who often kicked him, shivering in front of his sister, Xiao Yi's troubled mood in the past two days instantly dissipated, and he almost laughed out loud several times.
Of course, it's not that he can't laugh out loud, but he just doesn't dare...
"So you have to go? As a father, it's useless for me to say anything?"
While Xiao Jing was giving himself some relief, he raised his eyes and glared at Xiao Xiruo. It was obvious that he had a lot to say in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it.
However, this time Xiao Xiruo didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.
The girl's complexion is still a little pale, because she has been ill for many years, her whole body is also delicate and frail, and she looks particularly good when she is not talking.
How to say?
It's a bit pitiful to be well-behaved.
After all, it was his own cub, and Xiao Jing hated to see his daughter like this, so all the words he had just thought of were stuck in his throat, and he could not say a single word.
In the end, he could only sigh heavily, then looked at Feng Wuyan and said:
"Your Majesty, how sure are you about this matter? What do you need me to do for you?"
However, before Feng Wuyan could answer, Xiao Jing hurriedly said:
"You definitely can't bring too many people with you on this trip. It's best to go with a few people, and they have to be very skilled. How about this, Ayi will go with you, and Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao must also want to go, right?
"
Seeing the elder looking at her, Chu Jiaojiao immediately put down her chopsticks and nodded somewhat cautiously.
However, with the grain of rice on her lips, her modesty became cute.
"Four, four is almost enough, any more targets will be too big..."
Xiao Jing was thinking to himself until Feng Wuyan answered:
"Don't worry, Dad, I still have some manpower in Beiyi, we just need to go over to a few people to take charge."
According to Feng Wuyan's original plan, he actually only planned to act alone.
But if he wants to bring a sick person with him, he has to consider who will take care of her when he goes out.
Although he knew that the little sick man had all kinds of abilities, he still worried about things that should be worried about.
Now that he is fine, with Xiao Yi and Chu Jiaojiao here, he can feel free to let go.
"Well, okay, you have to bring dry food and water, right? Dad knows that you are not short of these, but horses are always needed, right? Our Beiyi war horses are good things. Dad will take you to pick them up later!"
Seeing his old man's enthusiasm, Xiao Yizhen was a little embarrassed to tell others that the emperor's horse had two bloodlines and was a real thousand-mile horse.
He had asked for technology before, but he went to the river before he started working on it.
Fortunately, Feng Wuyan didn't dislike it at all and nodded. So the five of them dropped their chopsticks and drove to the racecourse in Beiliang.
Not only are they looking for a new horse, but Xiao Yi, who already has a horse, is also doing the same.
Because his war horse Xiao Youcai is also well-known in Beiyi and will definitely be recognized.
Not only did they have to pick new horses, but they also had to pick the Beiyi horses captured on the battlefield. After going back and forth, by the time they finished picking the horses and returned home, Wen Susu had packed everything for them.
However, when Xiao Jing entered his daughter's yard and took a look, he was stunned by the large amount of gold and silver, as well as food, drink, and useful items.
It’s okay to bring food, after all, it’s useful for packing, but why is there only a small amount of dry food, and there are so many lettuce, raw meat, pastries, fruits and so on next to it?
That's all. The tent, quilt, jewelry, rouge, gouache, etc. Are you sure this is a mission, not going out for fun?
The old father asked the question very seriously and rigorously, but was rejected by his daughter in a second.
My daughter only said three words: "I do."
Okay, you are willing, but what about the others?
Feng Wuyan, who was being targeted by his father-in-law, had no consciousness and immediately expressed his loyalty: "It doesn't matter, just Xiruo is happy."
So the old father looked at Chu Jiaojiao and found that the little girl was squatting in front of a pile of pastries, fruits, meat and vegetables, with stars in her eyes.
No need to ask, she definitely agrees with this.
So the question finally came to his son, Xiao Yi, who looked at Chu Jiaojiao with a pleased and gentle expression.
"Bring it, you must bring it, especially delicious food! This way we won't look like a craftsman at all, don't you think so, dad?"
