Each world be

Chapter 150 The Loyal Guardian of Bai Yueguang Jin 25

"Li Yi, do you admit your guilt?"

Inside the tent, Zhao Kan had a frown on his face, and several important generals and military advisors sitting on both sides also had solemn expressions.

Li Yi was forced to kneel on the ground, looking unconvinced, "I am not guilty!"

Zhao Kan was so angry that he stood up. "You are still trying to make excuses after all this! As a deputy general, you actually caused more than 20 of our soldiers to be buried alive under the snow for your own sake. Do you dare to say that you are not wrong?"

Li Yi squinted his eyes at Xue Zhao who was sitting next to him and sneered: "You can convict me based on his one-sided statement? It's a joke!"

Xue Zhao looked at him expressionlessly, his dark eyes covered with a thick layer of frost.

This time, it was Li Yi who deliberately ordered people to shoot crossbows at the snowy mountain, causing an avalanche. In the end, only Xue Zhao and two or three soldiers survived, while the rest were buried under the snow and suffocated to death.

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Zhao Kan shouted coldly outside the account: "Bring a witness!"

Li Yi bent his head and saw the two soldiers from that day. He was so scared that his face turned pale.

The two men were intimidated by Zhao Kan's momentum and explained Li Yi's actions word by word.

Everyone present was terrified when they heard this, especially those who were one level higher than Li Yi. If Li Yi wanted to kill Xue Zhao out of jealousy this time, he could harm them next time.

Therefore, those generals tried their best to severely punish Li Yi in order to give an explanation to the dead soldiers.

In the end, Li Yi was stripped of all his military positions and was taken away and locked up.

Zhao Kan looked at Xue Zhao who had survived the disaster, and felt guilty. "Fortunately, you are blessed with a long life."

Otherwise, Dachen would have lost another general.

Xue Zhao still had one hand bandaged around his neck. He nodded and said, "Now the truth has been revealed. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Hey, don't leave in such a hurry." Zhao Kan stopped him. "In the past few months, the Hu people have been scared by us. I'm afraid they won't dare to attack us this year."

Xue Zhao listened quietly, and Zhao Kan continued:

"I didn't have time to tell you about your accident. Tomorrow I have to go back to the capital to report on my work. You have made great military achievements, so it's a good opportunity for you to go back with me. Then the emperor can personally reward you. How do you think?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhao's eyes gradually widened, his dark pupils sparkling. It took him a long time to find his voice, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Seeing that he was so happy and shocked, Zhao Kan raised his hand to pat his shoulder, but suddenly remembered his injured arm and froze in mid-air.

He pretended to be calm, clenched his fist against his lips, and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "Go back and prepare well today, we will return to the capital tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." Xue Zhao's eyebrows were full of excitement, "I'll go back and pack up now!"

After saying that, he turned and ran out.

Another general had a strange expression on his face. "Usually Xue Zhao always has a dark face, as if someone owes him money. It's rare to see him smiling like a fool."

Zhao Kan had a general understanding of the situation. He stroked his beard, smiled and said nothing.

Xue Zhao was so excited that he couldn't sleep and tossed and turned.

Xiaojiu, who was beside him, couldn't sleep because of his noise. He muttered and complained: "It's just going back to the capital, why are you so excited?"

When Xue Zhao thought of the person he was about to meet, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and even his voice was filled with joy, "I originally thought I would have to stay here for a year or two before I could go back, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Xiaojiu covered his head with the quilt, "You don't have a wife waiting for you at home, why are you so anxious?"

"It will be there soon." Xue Zhao's voice was sweet, and he had already gone over all the reactions of their meeting in his mind.

Where will they be on the day of the meeting?

Maybe she was on the streets of the capital, giving porridge to the people; maybe she was in Jishitang, busy preparing medicine; or maybe he went to the prime minister's mansion to propose marriage, and she just happened to walk in from outside...

The capital city should be very cold too. The clothes she wore might be her favorite light blue, and she might even put on a fluffy cloak on the outside.

How would she react when she met him for the first time?

Surprise or calm?

However, it will take more than ten days to reach the capital.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhao became anxious again. At this moment, he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to the capital to see her day and night.

Before dawn, he finally closed his eyes. In his dream, he seemed to have really turned into a wild goose in the northwest, flapping his wings across thousands of mountains and rivers, and standing in front of the girl's window after going through many hardships.

As soon as Shen entered the room, she heard the chirping of birds by the window and smiled, "The magpie heralds the coming of spring, which is a good omen."

She walked into the house and looked at Shi Qing, who was dressed as a bride and sitting on her left. Her eyes were kind and she said, "Qingqing, today is a good day for you to get married."

Although Shi Qing was wearing makeup, she couldn't hide her sick face. She raised her eyelids tiredly, "Mother, I don't want to get married."

Her voice was still hoarse and weak from long-term illness, which made Qiuyue, who was supporting her, feel her nose sore.

After vomiting blood, the doctor said that it was due to the great stimulation that triggered the old illness. Shi Qing also had a fever for quite some time.

Seeing that she was unconscious, the prime minister was worried about the approaching wedding date.

Coincidentally, Shi Qing woke up yesterday and his fever subsided. Apart from looking a little weak and tired, there was no other problem with him.

Early this morning, she hurriedly dressed up and prepared to get married.

Shen's eyes were full of pity. She gently stroked Shi Qing's face and said, "Dad and Mom won't hurt you."

Shi Qing pursed her lips tightly, and couldn't help turning her head away, tears as big as beans fell down.

Chunmei, the head maid standing in front, reminded, "Madam, it's time."

Shen turned her head, covered her face and wiped away her tears, adjusting her expression, "Qingqing, mother will take you out."

She took the red veil handed to her by Chunmei, put it on Shi Qing's head, and together with Qiuyue, helped Shi Qing walk out the door.

Outside the door, Shen Zhinan was wearing new clothes. When he saw the door was opened, he took a few steps forward and squatted in front of Shi Qing.

Shen led Shi Qing to lie on his back, and Shen Zhinan calmly and powerfully carried her out of the yard, the corridor, the main gate of the Shen Mansion, and into the bridal sedan.

Su Lanqing was sitting on a fine horse in a dazzling wedding dress. After speaking to the three members of the Shen family in an energetic manner, she took her bride to the Su family.

The whole street was filled with the lively sound of suona, and both sides were crowded with pedestrians, with old and young women, children and girls all leaning forward to sigh.

For a moment, my ears were filled with noisy and harsh sounds.

Shi Qing felt so weak that she couldn't even lift her fingertips. She leaned against the sedan chair, swaying like a rootless duckweed. She felt more and more dizzy and her heart ached.

She shed tears silently amid the congratulations.

She didn't know how she got off the bridal sedan, nor how she got married. Everything was blurry and unreal.

"Go down."

When she woke up again, it seemed like someone was lifting her veil.

She looked over as if she had noticed something, and saw Su Lanqing with an expressionless face.

He was dressed in an exquisite red robe, with a handsome face and cold eyes. He looked down at her, "Tsk, how did you get yourself into such a mess?"
