Otherwise, if Zhuge Shu had the intention to break off the engagement, why would Xie Xian tell Xie Wan directly and let her decide for herself?
He thought that Zhuge Shu was a good person. His character and talent were all top-notch.
However, Xie Wan had to be the one to live. If he made the decision and delayed the girl’s life, or if the siblings got into a conflict because of their marriage, he did not want to see that.
He would rather she make her own choice.
It could be said that at least when it came to Xie Wan’s marriage, he, as her brother, was worried to death. No matter what, he was afraid that the girl would be found unreliable and not good for the girl. He didn’t dare to do too much and go against the girl’s heart, letting her blame him in the future.
Xiao Baoxin was speechless. Even his own brother said so, what else could she say?
Although they were sisters-in-law, they were more like friends and shouldn’t interfere too much.
“Then, I’ll listen to you.”
Actually, Xiao Baoxin also knew that Xie Wan had her own opinions. The people around her were just trying to persuade her. It was not her turn to make the decision. Doing too much was annoying.
Children and grandchildren had their own blessings. The elders even said not to care too much, let alone his aunt.
Little Aunt has her own blessings.
After talking about Xie Wan, Xiao Baoxin naturally asked about Xiao Baoshu.
Xie Xian did not hide anything from her. Even if he did not want to say it, as long as she asked, he would tell her everything.
Although there had been a lot of battles recently, there had been a lot of good news.
As for Sikong Xiao, it was obvious that he was an expert. He directly attacked Jiang Prefecture, conquered two cities, and occupied Zhe Qi.
However, it was different from what they had expected. The surrounding counties continued to submit to the rebel army. Some of them were originally transferred to support Sikong Xiao, but halfway through, they received the imperial edict of the rebel king being conferred a title. They immediately rebelled and gathered their troops to fight with the central army.
On the surface, Sikong Xiao was fighting the rebel king one-on-one, but in fact, he was fighting against many people. No one knew when he would have to deal with the reinforcements from other routes.
Fortunately, Sikong Xiao’s reputation as the ever-victorious general was not undeserved. Even when surrounded by strong enemies, he still fought bravely and fought with the rebel army.
The entire Jing State was united. Although they had been beaten to pieces, they had at least persisted. Although they had won fewer victories and lost more, their loyalty to the court was still moving.
It was at this moment that Xiao Baoshu jumped out.
He relied on the people Sikong Xiao had left with him and the men of sacrifice Xie Xian had sent to protect him. All of them were elites among elites. He struck here and there with a hammer, killing the rebel soldiers until they were confused. They didn’t know when he had appeared out of nowhere, and he was overcautious and flustered.
Xiao Baoshu had never been to the battlefield, and the people he brought did not have any combat armor and weapons. Even the ones he wore later were taken from the rebel soldiers. As a result, the rebel soldiers could not distinguish between friend and foe for a long time and killed many people. Because Xiao Baoshu did not play by the rules, the rebel army suffered a lot. They scolded Xiao Baoshu behind his back, but they did not understand where he came from.
Even though they were called the Revolutionary Army, they weren’t the ones who were being righteous.
It wasn’t until the imperial court’s imperial edict reached Jingzhou that they found out that this troublemaker was Sikong Xiao’s good-for-nothing youngest son. In the past, they had always been known as ‘sh * t stirrers,’ but now, they were known as the Wei-Building General!
A fourth-grade military officer, only fourteen years old!
Whether it was the Imperial Court or the rebel army, they were all in an uproar. In fact, Xiao Baoshu was not the only one. Due to the chaos of war, the imperial court on both sides of the enemy and the enemy were not stingy in promoting soldiers with military merits. All kinds of official titles were flying everywhere.
Xiao Baoshu was only one of them. It was just that he was young and was Sikong Xiao’s son, so he was revealed.
He was not invincible. With the official certification of the imperial court, he could also have soldiers in his hands. It was somewhat difficult to mobilize soldiers from the imperial court. Not only was it a long journey, but the risk of rebellion in the middle was also high. Xiao Baoxin simply established some prestige in Jingzhou and transferred more than a thousand soldiers from Jingzhou to his command.
Unexpectedly, when these regular imperial court troops fell into Xiao Baoshu’s hands, they also started to fight as guerillas.
Today, they came from the east. Tomorrow, they would come from the west. They would set fire to the ground and steal some supplies. If they couldn’t kill you, they would kill you. The entire army had a repulsive style. They followed the example of their superiors and subordinates. Those people in his hands had let themselves go.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Baoshu’s matter was too interesting that it had spread throughout Jiankang.
The people of Jiankang were very friendly.
He was from the same city. He was originally a silkpants of the second generation of officials. Who would have thought that war would break out and help him? It was said that a tiger father would not have a dog son. When it was time to see the truth, it would be revealed.
He couldn’t help but bring out Xiao Baoxin. Back then, he was an assassin with a young master from an aristocratic family. The moment he attacked, he would kill everyone. This was the style of the family! Fierce.
Madam Xie’s heart, which had been in her throat, was now back in her stomach. She was always walking with the wind wherever she went. Her son had done her proud!
Xiao Baoxin, on the other hand, knew more details from Xie Xian. Other than the memorials sent back to the Imperial Court, there was also news from the Xie Clan’s men of sacrifice.
“How has Baoshu been recently?” The last time he heard Xie Xian mention it was more than ten days ago.
Because it was the end of the month, there were stars in the sky but no moon. The lanterns in the courtyard lit up the entire Rong An Hall.
Xie Xian’s physical fitness had obviously improved recently. Normally, he would have to wear a thin cloak at this time, but now he was wearing a single layer of clothing.
“Nothing new.” Xie Xian was silent for a long while before suddenly mentioning Princess Xuancheng.
“The marriage between Baoshu and Princess Xuancheng has basically been decided.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded. This was all in their hearts. It was just that they had a tacit understanding. Why did he suddenly mention it now?
“Today, the emperor even mentioned Baoshu and talked about the marriage that the late emperor had intended to facilitate.”
“He wants to complete the will of the late emperor?” Xiao Baoxin joked in a low voice. Who didn’t know what the Emperor meant?
“Just starting a conversation.” Xie Xian said with a smile.
Emperor Yong Ping didn’t hold it in and didn’t play the tacit understanding. He directly set the marriage between Xiao Baoshu and Princess Xuancheng. After this year, when the war eased, he would put the marriage of Princess Xuancheng on the agenda.
He was originally the son-in-law of the Song family. If not for the Wang family’s mischief, Xiao Baoshu might have already become their son-in-law. The fertile water should not flow into other people’s fields. It could not benefit the daughter of another family!
Although Xiao Baoshu had never personally asked Xiao Baoshu, he had obviously heard his thoughts and understood his intentions. He was quite satisfied with Princess Xuancheng. Princess Xuancheng had always wanted to marry into the Xiao family. If the two of them could really get married, it could be considered a happy marriage.
Seeing Princess Xuancheng was a matter of the previous month. At that time, news of Xiao Baoshu had spread, and Xuancheng had followed up to inquire about it.
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t understand how his little brother had entered Princess Xuancheng’s eyes and heart.
The two emperors, regardless of whether it was their father or brother, had their own schemes. They were also thinking about political marriage.. Only Princess Xuancheng really liked Xiao Baoshu…
