Chapter 110 Mi Jianshu sends someone to take Xun to Beijing
Sending rice and vegetables was an excuse for Mi Yao to show up in the military camp. Otherwise, if someone reported General Han and Ye Xiao, it would be a waste of time. He wanted to enter the military camp with a reputation and use food to shut up those people.
The soldiers happily carried food and vegetables back to the barracks, followed by a group of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. The scene was very lively.
The military camp became lively, with pigs and sheep being slaughtered. Everyone had a smile on their face, and they all praised General Ye for having a virtuous wife. Cheng Ran, He Zhuang, and Xu Bo quietly found Ye Xiao, with silly smiles on their faces.
"Brother, does my sister-in-law have a younger sister?" Cheng Ran laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"What?" Night Owl was wiping his saber, which was made of fine steel and was very sharp. Ordinary swords would break if they touched it.
"My sister-in-law is so beautiful, gentle, virtuous, brave, resourceful and open-minded. I'm sure her sister must be good too. It would be great if our relationship could get closer!" Cheng Ran said with a grin, completely ignoring the contemptuous looks of He Zhuang and Xu Bo.
"I have two younger sisters-in-law, but one is married, and the other is only fourteen. You are a little old, don't think about marrying young girls." Ye Xiao attacked Cheng Ran without any pressure. He was almost twenty years old, but he was still bullying his sister-in-law. He was really thinking too much.
"Haha..." He Zhuang and Xu Bo laughed.
"You are not better than me. Aren't you all single? It's the same for us." Cheng Ran was rejected, but he was not disappointed. He just treated it as a joke.
At night, the aroma of meat wafted over the military camp. The soldiers gathered around the fire, eating and drinking. Some energetic soldiers even danced their hometown dances.
General Han's arm felt much better. Although he didn't dare to drink alcohol, he took a big gulp of the meat soup. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time. He looked at Mi Yao beside Ye Xiao. The more he looked at this girl, the more he liked her.
Mi Yao seemed to sense something, looked at General Han, smiled, and raised his glass.
General Han also picked up the medicine, and the two of them clinked their glasses in the air. Mi Yao took a sip of the juice.
Ye Xiao naturally also noticed the interaction between his wife and General Han.
"Yao, I feel that General Han is very special to you." Ye Xiao would never admit that he was a little jealous, although he knew that there would be absolutely nothing between Mi Yao and General Han.
"I feel it too. I have a sense of familiarity with General Han, an inexplicable admiration for him, an indescribable feeling, I just want to be close to him." Mi Yao expressed her feelings.
Night Owl's expression looked unnatural for a moment.
"What nonsense are you thinking about!" Mi Yao rolled her eyes at the Night Owl beside her.
Ye Xiao blushed, "I'm sorry, I know nothing will happen to you, but I just feel bad." Ye Xiao told the truth.
"Look stupid." Mi Yao watched the soldiers singing and dancing happily.
"Axiao, did you capture hundreds of prisoners from Xirong?" Mi Yao asked.
"Yeah, what are you going to do?" Night Owl was stunned but continued, "Do you want them to go there and farm?"
"Well, I brought tens of thousands of horses into the back mountain. If they are not managed properly, the back mountain will be a mess. If they stay in the military camp, I will have to provide them with food. It is better for them to work for me." Mi Yao took a bite of mutton.
"Oh, I don't think it's appropriate. If you want people, you can buy them, or use other methods. The number of captives has been registered and sent to the capital. It's not right for you to keep them. Besides, they are Western Rong soldiers. Keeping them will be a time bomb. Once that person becomes suspicious, it will be disadvantageous to us." Night Owl said in a low voice.
"I didn't think enough, thanks to you." Mi Yao thought about it. Since the open way didn't work, she would try the secret way. As for the candidate, she had already thought of it, and that was Xiaoyao Pavilion. They were looking for someone to kill her, so she could use the rest of her life to atone for her sins.
"What weird ideas are you up to now?" Ye Xiao saw Mi Yao's eyes rolling around.
"Master, son-in-law, Hou Yuanxuan has sent a letter." Lu Han came over at this time with a letter in his hand.
Mi Yao's heart was in turmoil, wondering if something had happened to her mother and sisters.
"Master, after you left, there were two more assassins in our house. We have wiped them all out. One of them was from Xiaoyao Pavilion, and the other didn't have a token, but each of them had a wolf head on their shoulder."
"Yesterday, someone came from the capital. He was the steward of the residence of Mr. Shizhong from the Ministry of Rites. This Mr. Shizhong from the Ministry of Rites is your biological father, Mi Jianshu. He is now an official in the capital and came to pick you up. I have sent someone to investigate everything about Mi Jianshu and there will be results soon. Now the old lady, the two young ladies and the second uncle have already followed Mr. Shizhong's steward to the capital, and they are also accompanied by people from the old house of the Mi family."
"I have arranged for Guo Lei and two of his men, as well as the maid at home, to stay behind. The rest of the people are secretly protecting the old lady and others as they go to Beijing." Hou Yuanxuan wrote this in great detail in the letter.
Mi Yao looked unhappy after reading the letter.
"Yao, what's wrong?" When Ye Xiao saw that Mi Yao looked unhappy, he knew something happened at home.
Mi Yao gave the letter to Ye Xiao, who read it quickly.
"A scholar from the Ministry of Rites?" Ye Xiao thought about this person carefully, and finally, he remembered.
"I know Mi Jianshu. When I left the capital, he seemed to be just a small clerk. I didn't expect that he had climbed to the position of a scholar in just five or six years."
"I heard that he went to Beijing alone to take the imperial examination. On the way, he encountered bandits and was seriously injured. He was rescued by a noble family in Beijing who passed by. Later, Mi Jianshu had an affair with the eldest daughter of this family. Their family helped Mi Jianshu to get the 26th place in the top three in the imperial examination. He worked as a minor official in the Ministry of Rites. After 17 years of work, he was promoted to the position of a scholar. He and that lady also have a child. Moreover, that eldest daughter is the widow of a young general and it seems that she has two children." Because the husbands of that eldest daughter were all in the army, Ye Xiao had heard of her.
"After fourteen years, he finally remembered my mother!" Mi Yao sneered.
"Yao, what do you want to do?" When Ye Xiao saw Mi Yao's expression, he mourned for Mi Jianshu for three seconds in his heart.
"It depends on my mother. If my mother wants to stay in the mansion of that scholar-official and is willing to serve my scumbag father together with that noble lady, I can only protect my mother from getting hurt. As for grievances or other things, she has chosen the path herself, and I have no way to stop her."
"If my mother doesn't want two women to serve one man, I will help her out of her suffering. That man is unreliable. Anyway, we have been living on our own these years and that man has never cared about us. He is unnecessary to me. Moreover, this time Jin Jianshu suddenly came back to pick up my mother and the others. I don't think things are as simple as they seem." Mi Yao took back the letter.
"I think so too. He didn't lose his memory in these fourteen years. Why didn't he come back to pick up his mother-in-law? Not only did he not take care of you and your mother, but he also didn't take care of the Mi family. What does this mean? She can't wait to get away from this remote place and break off all ties with you. Now she comes to you. There must be some unknown secret here." Ye Xiao analyzed.
