The Wife is First - 60 Chapter 60 Princess
“General Hao,” Mu Hanzhang stood up and saw that his expression was wrong, so he asked, “But what’s the matter?”
“Military advisor, I, Hao Dadao, am a rough man with short knowledge, but there are some things that I just can’t see. Hao Dadao looked at him menacingly, and his burly figure, which was a head taller than Mu Hanzhang, was quite oppressive.
Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, stepped back half a step and gave him a flat and clean stone to sit on, and said warmly: “If the general encounters any difficulties, just say it’s okay. You are not talented, and you will never refuse if you can help the general.”
“…” Facing the gentle and courteous military advisor, Hao Dashao punched the cotton. His anger was suppressed, and he felt uncomfortable all over. He had to sit down on the stone angrily.
“Wow!” Xiao Huang jumped on the stone and curiously grabbed the bag around Hao Dadao’s waist and scratched it.
Mu Hanzhang looked at him like this and raised his lips quietly: “What happened to the general?”
Hao Dadao sighed: “Commander, I can’t control what is going on between you and the prince, but I heard that the prince has a wife in Beijing, and she is a male wife, and she is of noble birth.”
Mu Hanzhang frowned: “What does the general mean by this?”
“The laws of Dachen state that only male wives are allowed to be married and no male concubines are allowed. It is very disrespectful to the princess to have such an unclear relationship between the military advisor and the prince.” Hao Dadao became excited again as he spoke. He had never been used to seeing those things. It is not easy for those who have a wife and are still fooling around outside. It is not easy for a man to take good care of his family.
“General Hao…” Mu Hanzhang blinked.
“With the talent of a military advisor, it is more than enough to get the top prize in the examination. Why bother to follow another man who is not clear about it?” These words were really hurtful. Hao Dadao did not dare to look up and look at Mu Hanzhang’s expression. The military advisor always He treats him well, and he admires what he has done these days, and really doesn’t want to see him abuse himself like this.
Mu Hanzhang looked at Hao Dadao like this, and his pursed lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Xiao Huang had bitten the cloth bag at his waist, took out the dried meat inside with a claw hook, and ate it properly. Huan, finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Seeing Hao Dadao looking up, he quickly suppressed the smile on his face: “General Hao is really a kind and righteous man, Jun Qing admires him. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the examination again in this life.”
“Why is this?” Hao Dadao asked doubtfully.
“Because he has married King Cheng as his wife.” Jing Shao just stopped a few steps away after being signaled by his princess’s eyes, and now he couldn’t help but interject.
“Ah?” Hao Dadao didn’t know what he was talking about, so he stood up and the dried meat in the bag fell to the ground. Xiao Huang jumped on it with a groan, and he was so panicked that he didn’t know which one to eat first.
Jing Shao strode forward and hugged his princess into his arms. It’s really hateful that these guys didn’t plan their tactics and came to embarrass Jun Qing.
Mu Hanzhang broke away from his arms around his waist, his handsome face was slightly blushing, he coughed slightly and said to Hao Dadao apologetically: “It was absolutely necessary, and this matter has never been spoken out. It is really true that the family members left Beijing. It’s against the rules, and besides, I hope the soldiers in the army can truly accept me, instead of treating me as a princess with meaningless respect, which the general misunderstood…”
Hao Dadao’s eyes widened, and his resolute face gradually turned from black to red, then from red to green, and finally turned livid!
Jing Shao came up and hugged his princess’s waist, put his chin on his right shoulder, and watched Hao Dadao’s face change with interest. In his last life, when he was visiting a brothel in Jiangnan, he was scolded by Hao Dadao, but he didn’t listen at all at that time. He didn’t go in and laughed at Hao Dadao for being henpecked. Now that he thought about it, Hao Dadao did the right thing. Now that he has a wife, he should respect him and protect him.
“Hehe, in that case, it’s Hao who is meddling in his own business.” Hao Dadao laughed twice and turned to leave.
“General,” Mu Hanzhang hurriedly called him, “it’s best not to make any noise about this matter.”
Hao Dadao pondered for a moment, frowned and said: “At least Zhao Meng and the others should know, otherwise the prestige of the military advisor will be hindered. Thinking of your personal snickering, I’m afraid it won’t be good if it continues like this. Besides, he is the only one. How can one be embarrassed!
“It makes sense,” Jing Shao hurriedly agreed, “Go and tell a few of them, but don’t say anything about the others.”
After Hao Dadao left, Mu Hanzhang suppressed the smile on his face and turned to look at the proud Jing Shao: “The goal has been achieved, are you satisfied?”
Jing Shao blinked innocently and tried to muddle through.
“Aren’t you doing what you are doing these days just to let everyone know my identity?” Mu Hanzhang said angrily, “Why are you doing this?”
“Hmph, I hug my own princess in secret every day. How can there be such truth in the world!” Jing Shao was a little guilty at first and gave random reasons, but the more he talked, the more he felt justified, and he gradually raised his head.
Mu Hanzhang sighed, turned around and put away the scattered dried meat to prevent the tiger cub from overeating, and whispered: “Although my father has acquiesced in this matter, other people in the capital are not aware of it. Now that he has said that he will go out, I’m just afraid it will cause trouble.”
Jing Shao knelt down next to him, hugged him into his arms, and kissed his smooth forehead: “As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to you.”
Hao Dadao clasped his fists and rushed directly into the right guard’s tent. Sure enough, Zhao Meng was still there, and the left guard also came. He pulled off the torn cloth bag from his waist, took another one, and put the dried meat on the table into it.
“Hey, this is my dried meat, where’s your own?” You Hujun rushed up to protect his pile.
“Been eaten by a tiger cub.” Hao Dadao snorted.
“Did you really go to find the military advisor?” Zhao Meng’s eyes widened. This man was really bold. They just talked in private. It would be better for him to go directly to question him. Such a wise and courageous military advisor must be committed to the prince. He had no choice but to think about this, and immediately jumped up, “Why are you so confused? If you say it like this, how do you want the military advisor to behave in the army in the future?”
“Yes, you are too ridiculous!” You Hujun scolded Hao Dadao while packing up his own dried meat.
The left guard was drinking a cup of hot tea silently. Seeing that the right guard couldn’t fit it in, he also handed him his cloth bag.
“What do you know?” Hao Dadao waved his hand and said angrily, “This is Princess Cheng who is being married by the matchmaker!”
The lively military tent fell silent for an instant. Zhao Meng, who was about to rush out to comfort the military advisor, stumbled. The dried meat in the hands of the right guard fell to the ground. Only the left guard continued to drink tea silently.
“Ah!” The patrolling guard heard a scream from the right guard’s tent and hurried over to ask. However, he was kicked out and continued patrolling in confusion.
“It’s over, it’s over…” Zhao Meng squatted on the ground and rubbed his beard vigorously, recalling what he had done since Mu Hanzhang entered the camp, it was enough for the prince to chop him into pieces.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Didn’t you just hold the princess in your arms and drink? The prince has a lot of money and won’t argue with you.” The right guard patted Zhao Meng’s shoulder without sympathy.
Because of such shocking news, several generals did not dare to talk to the military advisor for several days.
Not to mention the chaos in the military camp every night, the siege during the day never stopped for a moment.
Forced by the terrain of Yuncheng, it was not easy to attack the city. They called for formation in front of the gate every day. At first, some people came to challenge. Later, Hao Dadao beheaded the general who challenged him in a rage. No one dared to come out anymore. He only came out every day. Use bows and arrows to block their approach.
This stalemate lasted for half a month, and the arrows in Cloud City were exhausted. Because people in the southwest are accustomed to building houses with bamboo, all the stone houses that can be demolished in the city have been demolished, and there are not many stones that can be used for throwing.
Jing Shao ordered a forcible siege of the city. The giant siege trees attacked from both sides. The people in the city were trapped on the island for half a month without any help. They were already discouraged. In the end, they were no longer able to defeat a hundred thousand strong soldiers. They took advantage of the flaw in the back gate and breached the city gate in one fell swoop. . The army rushed in. Jing Shao ordered the army to guard the outside. He only brought five thousand personal guards into the city and was strictly ordered not to disturb the people.
They rushed straight into the palace of the Southwest Prince. No trace of the Southwest Prince could be found anywhere in the mansion. Only a handful of concubines and a few unloved concubines were left, gathering in the atrium and crying.
“Grandpa left with some uncles a few days ago.” Jing Shao asked these people, but no one could answer him. Only a little kid about six or seven years old said solemnly.
Mu Hanzhang knelt down and asked him warmly, only to find out that this was the direct grandson of the Southwest King. The Southwest King should have left a secret passage in the palace, and he did not take this grandson with him when he fled in a hurry.
“My lord, what should I do?” Hao Dadao stood on the ground with a clang of the Hunyuan knife in his hand.
“Search the secret passage and escort the child and those concubines back to the capital. All the concubines will be sent away. The army will stay outside the city to rest. The troops will be repairing in the Southwest Palace. We will make a decision after I ask my father for instructions.” Jing Jing Shao arranged it in an orderly manner, and Hao Dadao took the order and left.
Mu Hanzhang stood in the atrium and observed the southwest palace. The front yard was similar to the pavilions and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, but the backyard was filled with bamboo buildings unique to the southwest. They were lined up one after another, which was very interesting.
“Let’s go and see if there are any good things in this mansion.” Jing Shao saw that he was interested and wanted to reach out for him, but it was inconvenient for him to wear armor, so he took a shiny hand and pulled him toward him. Walk to the main courtyard of the Southwest King.
The main courtyard of the Southwest King has the common red pillars and glazed tiles, which should have been built at the founding of the People’s Republic of China. There is also an inscription written by Taizu himself on the main hall, which contains two strong and powerful characters: “loyalty and justice”.
The decorations in the room were all in disarray. They must have been messed up by the concubines who later came to search for valuable things.
“I’m afraid all the valuable things have been taken away.” Mu Hanzhang looked at a rosewood base on the table. There should have been some jade carvings on it.
“That’s wrong,” Jing Shao smiled mysteriously, “Most of the truly valuable things cannot be taken away.” In his previous life, he had done many things to plunder the palaces of several vassal princes. Naturally, he knew the secrets and dragged his own princess to court. Go to the study of Southwest King.
