Xie Yao frowned, took a closer look, and found a woman next to Ding Yifei.
The woman is not Liang Zhixian, but the concubine that Ding Yifei originally wanted to take.
The two behaved intimately, walking slowly, talking and laughing, as if the concubine was Ding Yifei's married wife.
The voices of two people talking came to my ears.
"Can you stay with me a little longer today? Not only do I miss you, the child in my belly also misses you."
"Okay, okay, I don't have anything to do today. I just want to spend more time with you and our son."
"Very good."
Xie Yao glanced coldly at the concubine's slightly swollen belly, and then lowered the curtain.
This scene did not surprise her, but it happened in a shorter time than she expected.
How many days has it been since Ding Yifei took Liang Zhixian back today?
And judging from the expressions of the two of them, it seems that they didn't just get back together today.
Was it Ding Yifei who deceived Liang Zhixian?
She was thinking in her mind, and before she knew it, the General's Mansion had arrived.
Xie Yao got off the carriage and looked at Wu Feng, "There's no need to wait outside. Come in and rest."
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I need to keep an eye on them outside because of my humble position. With so many people, it would be easy for trouble to happen if no one is watching." Wu Feng found a reason and declined politely.
Xie Yao didn't force it, nodded, turned around and entered the house.
The soldiers in Prince Han's Mansion are all well-trained and have strict rules. Even if Wu Feng is not around, it will be difficult for him to cause trouble.
After Xie Yao entered the general's mansion, she went straight to her grandfather's yard.
"The princess is back. The old general has been talking about you since the day before yesterday. It's better this time. There is no need to talk about you anymore." Li Mo Li smiled happily when he saw Xie Yao coming back.
"Uncle Li, go and rest for a while, I'll be fine here." Xie Yao said with a smile.
Once my grandfather is in a bad mood, it is Uncle Li who suffers. This has been the habit and tacit understanding between master and servant for many years.
"Thank you, Princess." Mo Li bowed and then retreated.
Xie Yao stepped directly into the room and then carefully closed the door.
"I haven't been back for a long time. Will the thieves come when I come back?" came the old general's voice from inside, still so unforgiving.
Xie Yao curled up her lips slightly, turned around and walked inside, "Be careful with the Wannian Ship. This is what my grandfather taught me."
The old general glared and said, "Stop trying to prevaricate me with my words. If you have anything important to do, tell me quickly. When you're done, grill me some chicken and fish."
"No problem. But you need to check your pulse first. If your grandfather's health is fine, you can eat it." Xie Yao said, putting her hand on her grandfather's wrist.
There was only one person in charge of the general's mansion, her grandfather, and since all three generations had been poisoned by the same poison, she had not been back for a long time, so the first thing she did was to test the poison first.
"Grandpa is in good health. My granddaughter will roast chicken and fish for you in a moment." Xie Yao felt relieved and had nothing to do.
"You don't have to worry about me. As long as I want to, no one in the general's mansion can do anything to me." The old general also had a bit of pride on his face, "But you, I have clearly told you to be on guard against Shangguan Yue and
Chu Mu, how can you still fall into the trap? Can't you just turn your head more and more?"
"My granddaughter was in a hurry to return to the general's mansion and didn't pay attention to them. Besides, my granddaughter escaped unscathed." Xie Yao was not afraid of anyone in the Wanqi Kingdom, except when facing her grandfather.
She often quarrels with him and has no temper. She knows that her grandfather is doing it for her own good, so she can't quarrel back.
"You are lucky." The old general rolled his eyes, "I heard that Chu Mu was not injured. You didn't stab him with a soft hedgehog armor?"
"He didn't get close. If he got close, my granddaughter would naturally activate her soft hedgehog armor and stab him." Xie Yao then gave an overview of the situation at that time.
After hearing this, the old general raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, "Not bad, there is progress."
Xie Yao smiled, thought of a question, and looked gloomy, "Grandpa, I always feel that the relationship between Shangguan Yue and King Mu is not as simple as collusion. If King Mu only wanted to help Shangguan Yue, such a sacrifice would be unavoidable.
It's too big. Grandpa, if he has the chance, he'd better keep checking."
The old general also straightened his face, "Don't worry, I have not withdrawn the people I sent out, and there will be news soon. But you, you must pay attention to Chu Mu during this period, I will have people protect you in secret
you."
"He hates people saying he is infertile the most, and you exposed it in public. Now he wants to skin you and beat your muscles."
Xie Yao nodded and smiled lightly, "Grandpa, don't worry, if he dares to come, I will stab him with my soft hedgehog armor."
The old general said angrily: "If you were smarter, he wouldn't dare to touch you even if you didn't have soft hedgehog armor."
Xie Yao was speechless.
In the eyes of her grandfather, she seemed to have always been stupid.
"I heard from the servant who delivered the letter before that my father and the others have not sent any letters back for a few days. Are there any new letters coming back now?" She decided to change the topic.
The old general's expression darkened and he shook his head slowly.
Xie Yao frowned, "Is everything going well on the front line?"
My father has always written letters regularly, and letters will come back every few days. This time, there has been a break in letters for at least seven or eight days.
"The current situation of the war is not very clear. Because of the successive victories, your father and the others have crossed the original border and entered the territory of Dongao Country. At this moment, they should be fighting fiercely at the foot of a mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Behind the mountain is
The capital of Dong Ao Kingdom."
"The emperor has decreed that if we capture this mountain, your father and your brother will be the first to succeed! If they fail, they will be punished as a military defeat. Therefore, even if your father and the others want to come back, they cannot resist the decree.
"The old general said in a deep voice, and his old eyes narrowed slightly.
Xie Yao's expression changed and she felt a little worried.
She doesn't understand military matters, but she also knows that if she takes that mountain and faces the capital of Dong'ao, Dong'ao will fight to the death to protect it.
In addition, the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even though my father and the others were invincible before, they may still be struggling now.
If you win, everything will be smooth sailing, but if you lose, there will be many crises.
"Grandpa thinks, what are the chances of father and the others winning?"
The old general shook his head, "If you want to win, you must have the right time, right place, and the right people."
Xie Yao frowned.
It is not easy to get the right time, place and people together, but failure is much easier.
The situation is not optimistic.
The old general pondered for a moment, "Believe in the strength of your father and your brother. One of them is enough to withstand the attack of Dong Ao Kingdom. If they go into battle at the same time, they may not be incapable of capturing Dong Ao Kingdom."
Xie Yao nodded silently, feeling a little inexplicably heavy.
Seeing Xie Yao's expression, the old general taught him a lesson: "Pick up some energy. Aren't you treating King Pingxi? If you don't have energy, how can you treat him?"
Xie Yao raised her eyes and looked at her grandfather's somewhat cloudy, yet weathered eyes, and suddenly remembered the question that King Pingxi had asked her before, "Does grandfather think it is right or wrong for my granddaughter to treat King Pingxi?"
"There is no right or wrong. As long as you do what you want to do, it is right, and you don't have to worry about other things." The old general spoke with a hint of arrogance.
