In the morning court, Emperor Wen of Tang issued a series of orders to transfer Hubei general Zhang Hua to the governor of Yunnan, Yunyang Bo Li Gan as the chief general, and Zhao Chen as the deputy general. The next day, he led 20,000 elite troops to Yunnan to take over the 80,000 soldiers from General Zhennan. He Ruming and Rufang's brothers were demoted to the generals, and ordered them to make meritorious contributions. The army was supervised by King Rui to boost morale.

King Rui was in the limelight for a while.

The decree was already planned last night. Zhao Chen and Yunyang Bo Li Gan discussed the military matter overnight. They had only time to hand over the letter to their homes. Today, they were so busy that they couldn't get rid of themselves during the day. They were as eager as they returned home, and they were ambitious to pay their respects to the southwest.

In Wangzhuxuan, Aju is also very busy, so busy that she has no time to think about it.

It was about to enter summer, and the southwest was already damp and hot, and Zhao Chen would not know when he would come back. Aji and Ning ordered people to prepare what Zhao Chen might need, and various medicinal materials and prescriptions for winter clothes and summer clothes. Aji could not have imagined that Ning thought of it, and Aji, who was negligent in the future, quickly added. When the busyness was in trouble, Mrs. Guo came to visit again, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to entertain her.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, it became dark.

Zhao Chen still hadn't returned. Cuiyu ran back and forth several times, and just stood in front. As soon as Zhao Chen came back, she immediately sent a message.

"Grandma, I don't know when my aunt will come back. You should eat something first? Health is important." Madam Jiang picked up the curtain and persuaded her in kindly.

Aji had no appetite, but when she looked at her daughter who was playing with her feet on the kang, she nodded.

I also have to feed my daughter, and I have to eat it if I don’t want to.

Luyun moved the low table to the kang. Aji first picked up his daughter and grabbed her fingers. When the supper was ready, she sat over with her daughter, wrapped her small jacket with her, and took a few bites herself. Cancan looked at her mother without blinking. Whenever Aji picked up the spoon, she would open her mouth, look up at her mother and drink it, and pursed her little mouth gently.

"Cancan opens his mouth." Aji tasted the rice soup and felt it was no longer hot. He slowly handed it to his daughter.

Cancan grabbed the corner of the low table with one hand, opened his mouth wide, swallowed it in one mouthful, and it flowed out a little. Aji quickly put down the spoon and wiped his daughter's mouth, and his eyes turned red. She had dinner a few days ago, and she fed her daughter, and Zhao Chen helped her to wipe the corner of her mouth. He didn't come back last night, so why don't he not go back tonight? Could it be that before he set off, both of them could not meet? She still had a lot to say to him and wanted to tell him...

"Well..." My mother didn't move, Cancan talked to her curiously, and her mother's appearance was reflected in her black eyes.

"Cancan, my father will be back in a while." Aji turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes. After calming down, he kissed his daughter's face and continued to eat.

She ate very slowly, hoping that Zhao Chen would come back halfway through the meal, and the family of three had a good meal. But until the dinner table was removed and it was completely dark outside, Zhao Chen still did not come back.

"Let Cuiyu come back. He will definitely come over immediately when he comes back. If Cuiyu doesn't come, it will be a waste of time to wait there." After washing his feet, the first update of the chuck was knocked. Aji looked at the dark night outside the window and ordered Lu Yun to ask Madam Jiang to go back to her house to rest, so that no one should be left to serve her in the house.

"Don't worry, my son-in-law has always been safe in his actions. If he couldn't come back, he would have asked someone to pass the message. If he didn't pass the message, he would definitely come back. Because there was no time, he didn't send someone to say it, so that you wouldn't be disappointed." Before leaving the door, Madam Jiang comforted her softly.

Aji nodded, she thought so too. Zhao Chen liked them so much, and he would definitely go home to say goodbye to such a big thing.

It was still a bit cold at the end of March. Aji held her daughter's armpit and stopped and walked around the kang. After a while, she coaxed her daughter to turn over a few times, then took off her clothes and dripped into bed. The lights in the room were on. Aji looked down at her daughter eating and breasts, and couldn't help talking to her: "Dad is leaving, is Cancan reluctant to part with her?"

Cancan still eats in his mouth, only looking up at his mother, while holding his other little hand while playing.

Aji lit up his daughter's forehead: "You are so unscrupulous. Your father likes you so much. You don't miss him if you didn't go home last night. He will come back later. Do you know if you have to be intimate with your father? If your father can't bear to leave you, he will come back soon."

She said hers, Cancan ate her own food, and after eating, she was babbling in her mother's warm arms for a while, she slowly fell asleep, her eyebrows and eyes stretched out, her mouth slightly raised, and she was carefree.

Aji gently touched her daughter's eyebrows that looked like her father's father, and her thoughts floated outside the Hou's Mansion. On the street, she listened to any movement outside, hoping that her man would come back soon.

After waiting for it, I waited for the second update to ring.

Aji turned over again, afraid of waking up her daughter, so she covered the quilt for her daughter and moved it to Zhao Chen's quilt next to her.

Her quilt was filled with the aura of her and her daughter, and Zhao Chen had a familiar manly smell. Aji hugged his quilt tightly and buried it in the pillow and cried silently.

I don't know how long it took, a slight movement came from the gate of the courtyard. Aji immediately sat up and confirmed that it was Zhao Chen who had come back. She hurriedly put on her coat and went out regardless of her hair dissipation. Finally, when she walked to the door of the outer room, she saw the man she was still in Xinnian. He was not wearing the official uniform of the Jinwu Guard, but in military uniforms and armor, strange and familiar.

"Have you eaten?" Aji asked in a trembling voice, his tears blurred, and he couldn't see his cold face clearly.

"I've eaten it, I've eaten in the military camp." Zhao Chen signaled Lu Yun Jinshu to prepare hot water. He led his wife into the outside room, stared at her red eyes and asked, "Cancan is asleep? Have you looked for me these two nights?"

"No, how old is she." Aju told the truth, helping him with his own clothes, and the thick armor touched him. The hands slowly untied, and his eyes looked at his face greedily, and he became more reluctant to leave as he looked at him. "Do you leave tomorrow morning?"

Zhao Chen nodded, touched her face, and answered all the questions she asked and didn't ask. "I will set off tomorrow morning. If it goes well, I will be able to come back at this time next year. If it doesn't go well, it may take two or three years. Don't cry, Aji don't cry." She burst into tears after she said halfway. Zhao Chen carried the person into his arms with heartache and promised quietly and firmly: "No matter how long I will come back, I will take good care of myself and not let myself be hurt. Aji, don't worry, as long as you take good care of you and Cancan, I will be relieved."

Aji didn't know what to say, and she didn't want to say anything. When she thought that it might take two or three years to come back, she couldn't bear to leave.

Zhao Chen rubbed her head with his chin and sighed helplessly: "Don't do this, I can't leave if you do this..."

Aji really wanted to say that if she couldn't leave, she didn't leave, but she knew that this was just a useless thing. She didn't leave much time for them tonight. Even if both of them didn't sleep, she felt that there was not enough time. How could she waste time on such things?

Turning his back and wiped his eyes, Aji quickly took off the heavy armor for Zhao Chen and put it on the table. The maids just took the mixed water in. Aji asked them to go back and rest. She personally served Zhao Chen to wash. When washing her feet, she wanted to help Zhao Chen wash it once. Zhao Chen was useless and placed two chairs facing each other. He placed the bucket in the middle, first helped Aji sit down, he took off her shoes and socks for her and put her feet into the wooden bucket, and then took off her own.

The room smelled a little, and Zhao Chen deliberately stepped on his wife's feet to tease her: "Do you think it smells bad?" He ran outside for a day, his whole body was sweating all over, so it would be strange if he didn't smell bad.

Aji shook her head, she wouldn't bother her no matter how bad she was.

Zhao Chen smiled, reluctant to bend down to wash his feet, so he soaked in the water, looking at Aji and said, "You use your feet to help me wash it, let's talk."

Aji stepped on his feet, rubbed gently, and his eyes moved from the surging water waves in the barrel to the man's face. He tilted his head and asked him: "Have you visited my mother? During the day, my mother and I have packed up everything you want to bring, and I miss you very much."

Zhao Chen had a little guilty look in his eyes: "I haven't been there for too long, so I haven't gone. You can apologize for me and my mother tomorrow morning."

Aji agreed and told him all the things prepared by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Finally, she asked: "Do you want to bring two maids to serve you?" Even in Dengzhou, Zhao Chen lived a life of luxury. He must not be used to going to such a difficult place, right?

Zhao Chen looked at her and smiled: "You think I'm going to travel around the mountains and rivers? It's enough to let Chen Ping follow me. Besides, you're really relieved to take care of the maid?"

Aji bit his lip and looked at his eyes and said, "Yunnan is not without good-looking girls. If I really don't worry about you, even if you don't take care of the maid, I will think more."

"Then are you relieved?" Zhao Chen raised his wife's foot and asked with a smile while holding her feet.

He focused his eyes and carefully wiped every toe finger of her. How could Aji not feel at ease with such a man who was dedicated to wiping her feet? In fact, she was really worried and said to the handsome face near her: "I don't feel at ease with your body, so you have to do what you say, come back early and come back unscathed."

Zhao Chen paused and looked up at her, "Yes, what's going on now, what's going on when he comes back." He has a mother to support, a wife to live together, and a daughter to take care of him for a lifetime. All of these are the most important things in his life. How could he not come back before he was finished?

After rubbing his feet, he picked up his wife and entered the inner room.

Their daughter was sleeping with a flushed face, and her long eyelashes cast a fan-like shadow on her face. Zhao Chen put his wife into his bed. He leaned over and lying on his daughter's little face. He wanted to wake her up, look at her black eyes and smile, listen to her whispering to herself and listen to her cheerful laughter, but she couldn't bear to wake her up. My daughter can sleep peacefully all night now, and suddenly wake up. With her domineering little temper, she will definitely cry.

Even if he has only been away for a year, his daughter can walk and talk when she comes back, right?

At that time, she must not recognize him. Who made his father miss her year of growth?

Zhao Chen's eyes were a little sore.

He couldn't bear to part with his wife, and even more so with his daughter.

I couldn't see enough for many years, but my daughter fell asleep and my wife was still awake. Zhao Chen gently kissed his daughter on the cheek, took another look, and quickly turned around to turn off the lights.

"Aji, when Cancan can speak, remember to teach her to call me. Tell her to me every day, don't let her forget me." He hugged his wife, Zhao Chen whispered on top of her head.

Aji hugged him tightly, wishing to fit into the man's broad chest.

Zhao Chen was not at ease with his wife, touched her back with his big hand, and thought of something and said something: "There is Madam Xu watching over Qin, she can't make a big fuss. Grandma, we have broken off relations with her long ago. You don't have to go over to pay her respects, and she can't enter Wangzhuxuan. In addition, if your father decides for you, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Instead, when you go out to be a guest, be careful not to be bullied, especially the Princess An. If she really dares to bully you, you don't have to swallow your anger, and she doesn't dare to do anything to you."

Aji covered his mouth and choked and said, "Just just take good care of yourself, don't worry about me."

Zhao Chen grabbed her hand and placed it on her chest, his lips fell on her forehead, and he kissed her slowly, "You are the flesh in my heart, I can't let you go the most, Aju, you have to wait for me to come back..."

Aju burst into tears.

Before he left, she had already started thinking about him.

~

When Aji was waiting for Zhao Chen to return home, Guo Baozhu was also waiting for Ji Zhao nervously.

During the Lantern Festival, Ji Zhao secretly asked someone to send a letter to Guo Baozhu because of Guo Baoyan. After learning that Guo Baozhu really liked him a little, Ji Zhao often gave him some small things to Guo Baozhu. Guo Baozhu did not dissuade him, and even occasionally slipped out to meet Ji Zhao. Of course, he just took a look from a distance and never let Ji Zhao get close to her, leaving someone with a message.

This is the first time Ji Zhao has come here at night.

Guo Baozhu was a little nervous. Ji Zhao said that there was something big to tell her. Today, she happened to learn that her uncle was going to lead troops to Yunnan. She immediately thought about whether Ji Zhao would follow him. Ji Zhao was on duty in Jinwu Guard and was still an irrelevant job. During peacetime, these imperial guards had no chance to make meritorious contributions. Ji Zhao wanted to marry her and had to find another way.

Will Ji Zhao really follow the army?

Guo Baozhu instinctively doubted.

Ji Zhao is the only seed of the Ji family. With his tender skin, how could Mrs. Ji let her grandson suffer in the military camp? She didn't want Ji Zhao to go. She was afraid that something would happen to Ji Zhao. She had no eyes. No one dared to say that she would come back if he joined the army and fought. If Ji Zhao went to fight again because of her words, she would have been uneasy in her life.

Therefore, even though he knew that it was not suitable for private matters in the middle of the night, after nightfall, Guo Baozhu sneaked under the wall of the backyard and hid in the flowers and plants to wait for Ji Zhao.

Three light hits suddenly came from behind the wall.

Guo Baozhu's heartbeat accelerated, and she replied three times. Then she heard the man jumping off the ground, skillfully climbing up the wall, and then fell in front of her in a blink of an eye. Guo Baozhu had a dagger hidden in her sleeve, but when Ji Zhao called her Baozhu, there was a joy that could not be concealed in his tone. Guo Baozhu relaxed and squatted in the flowers and plants and asked him quietly: "What the hell is it? Tell me quickly, leave quickly after you finish speaking!"

"Do you know about Brother Shi's dispatch of troops to Yunnan?" Ji Zhao squatted down next to Guo Baozhu and said to her face: "I'll go too, follow Brother Shi to do things for him. Baozhu, keep your word. If I make contributions, you will marry me when I come back, okay?" He reached out and touched Guo Baozhu's knee. Guo Baozhu pushed him. Ji Zhao grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

It was so dark that no one could see who was clearly, but Guo Baozhu felt a little uncomfortable, "You can't take your shoulders and your hands can't lift them. What are you doing with the past? Don't ruin my aunt's business!" She hoped that he would have a future and that his brother would not be so disgusted with him, but she never thought of letting him take risks on the battlefield.

Ji Zhao was also happy when he was scolded, holding her hand and smiling: "Don't underestimate me. When I come back from me, you can just wait to be a bride. Okay, we will set out early tomorrow. I can't delay too long. Come here and tell you, learn to embroider wedding dress when you are idle, and I will marry you right away when I come back." He pinched her hand hard and stood up slowly.

Guo Baozhu stood up and said nothing.

The two were silent in the darkness. Finally, Ji Zhao whispered to his lover to take good care of himself and take two steps back and overtake the wall.

Guo Baozhu grabbed his arm when he rushed to the corner of the wall. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Zhao suddenly pulled the person into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Baozhu, I, I want to kiss you, just a moment, okay? I have wanted to kiss you for a long time, but now I don't kiss you, I'm afraid of me..." She didn't keep him, he didn't dare to mention it, and if she keeps her, he couldn't help it.

"Shut up!" Guo Baozhu scolded in a depressed manner.

Ji Zhao shut up obediently.

Guo Baozhu leaned against his not-so-wide arms, held his arms with both hands, and slowly put them on his shoulders. Then she raised her head and tiptoed to kiss the lips of the boy who had touched her face.

It was too dark, and it was the first time the two of them did this. She didn't kiss the same place, but only kissed his chin and heard the sound of his throat rolling.

She was a little annoyed and nervously wanted to escape, but Ji Zhao pinched her waist and pushed her to the wall when she was about to leave, and kissed her hard. He didn't know how to have relatives. When he came over, he flipped through several books and learned it. When he encountered it, he forgot those mixed thoughts, and just leaned against his heart, he almost jumped out.

His good wife, tonight he finally kissed her lips that she likes to say fierce words and is particularly beautiful.

He pressed her stupidly, Guo Baozhu's face was so hot that she turned her head to avoid his lips and urged him: "Go away quickly, come back, I will kiss you when I come back."

Even if he has not made any contribution, she will marry him.
Chapter completed!
