Chapter 379 Very happy
However, before Lord Sikong could finish speaking, Sikong Mo had already disappeared without a trace, leaving Lord Sikong alone in the study.
She stood up dejectedly, shrugged, and couldn't help but mutter, "Calling him brother-in-law so soon, I wonder if Di Beizun has been using every trick in the book to deceive Xiao Mo all this time. That cunning old fox!"
As he spoke, he walked outside, assuming that Mei Ruhua and Meng Benbo would arrive with their troops around this time!
Sikong Jin was naturally well aware of the situation in the army. After several heavy snowfalls, the weather had become increasingly cold, and it seemed that this winter was much colder than in previous years, so many soldiers were finding it hard to bear.
We need to take a short break before we can make any further plans.
At that moment, Sikong Mo rushed out of the corridor outside the study and saw Di Beizun standing with his hands behind his back.
"His Majesty……"
Sikong Mo stared blankly at Di Beizun's deep expression and called out softly.
"I hope you can keep your sister's matter a secret for now, otherwise it will cause some unnecessary trouble. After I pacify Nanzhou, I will resolve your mother's matter satisfactorily."
His voice was deep and calm, which made Sikong Mo nod almost without hesitation or doubt, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Xiao Mo will not allow anyone to harm my elder brother."
Although Sikong Mo found it difficult to accept the fact that Sikong Jin was a woman, he would always protect her, so he was well aware of these words.
Emperor Beizun nodded, thought for a moment, and then continued, "It's good that you know what's going on. Since she's come here in person, just follow her closely. I'll take care of the rest."
"Your Majesty, what you have done to my elder brother..."
Sikong Mo wanted to say something more, but Di Beizun's handsome and upright figure had already walked forward, followed by Sikong Jin's cursing voice, "Why are you running so fast? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where are you going? Tonight, I'm going to drink with my subordinates and Xiao Mo under the bright moon. Hurry up and tell the kitchen to prepare some dishes for us! We need golden roast suckling pig and honey-glazed jade chicken... Did you hear me? Why are you walking so fast? You're such a bastard!"
"Big brother!"
Sikong Mo then turned around, looked at Sikong Jin who was hurrying towards him, and called out softly.
Sikong Jin nodded and grabbed Sikong Mo's arm. "Xiao Mo, go tell the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner... Big Brother went to the city gate to meet them. They should be arriving soon. They are all Big Brother's subordinates, and they are all loyal to him."
Before Sikong Mo could answer, Sikong Jin practically lifted him up, chasing after the figure of Emperor Beizun who was about to turn the corner. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wait! You have to tell your people to let my men into the city..."
……
Meanwhile, outside Hanyang City, Meng Benbo, Mei Ruhua, and a few other unlucky fellows were braving the wind and snow, leading a large force toward Hanyang City.
Frustrated, Meng Benbo brushed away the snowflakes swirling in his face and said, "Deputy General Mei, do you think we'll see His Majesty the Northern Emperor later? Tell me, how could someone as wise and powerful as His Majesty the Northern Emperor possibly fall for a scumbag like you, sir? If he were to fall for someone, it would be a dashing, handsome man with abs like me. You all think I look like a boiled chicken."
"Absolutely! I really don't know what kind of luck this corrupt official had. He has His Majesty the Northern Emperor as a man, and the Ninth Princess as a woman. Both of them are great beauties. Not everyone can have such good luck! We followed him without regard for the court's orders, which is almost equivalent to disobeying the imperial decree and rebelling. This bastard won't even let me see the letter Xiaoxue wrote to me, saying that I can only see it after the war is over."
Zhu Si also expressed his strong dissatisfaction.
"Alright, all you and Lord Fang ever say are those same old lines: 'Is my husband alright? Husband, please take care of yourself. I miss you so much… Husband, I dreamt of you last night… Xiaoxue, my darling, my precious, I promise I'll love you dearly when I get home…' Ugh… It's so cheesy! We don't even know if we'll be able to go back! If the court really convicts us because of this, your Xiaoxue will probably be in big trouble too…"
Mei Ruhua's cold voice came over.
Zhu Si then put on a mournful face and said, "It's all because of that corrupt official Sikong Jin. I thought about it all night. Should we go back? Xiaoxue is about to give birth. If something goes wrong now, won't she become a widow? My child will be fatherless! I don't want that!"
“Deputy General Mei, I also think Lord Zhu’s suggestion is very good. If we abandon the darkness and turn to the light now and withdraw immediately, the court may not hold us responsible. We can put all the blame on that corrupt official, Sikong Jin, who forced us to do this!”
"Even if you wanted to betray us again, you probably wouldn't have the chance!"
Mei Ruhua's helpless voice came, and she looked ahead and saw Sikong Jin riding towards them, followed by several soldiers in the uniforms of the Great Zhou army.
"Ahua, Benbo, Fatty!"
Lord Sikong rode up at breakneck speed, his face beaming with joy. The group quickly crossed the falling rain and snow and soon arrived before them.
Mei Ruhua raised her hand high, signaling the men and horses behind her to stop advancing.
The group quickly dismounted and walked towards Sikong Jin.
"grown ups!"
Upon arriving before Sikong Jin, the group clasped their hands in greeting.
Lord Sikong nodded and smiled, “My beloved generals, you have all worked so hard! I have already asked His Majesty to prepare a sumptuous dinner in the city to reward you! His Majesty is very pleased to know that we have come and has decided to personally entertain you all tonight!”
Upon hearing that they would be personally entertained by His Majesty the Northern Emperor, the group was overjoyed. The idea of betraying him was long forgotten. Meeting their idol was an absolutely wonderful feeling, and they couldn't help but start fantasizing.
"Fatty Zhu, how's my outfit?"
"Deputy General Meng, do you think my hairstyle is alright?"
"My lord, do you think I've become fairer and more handsome lately? I've heard that there are still several princesses and noblewomen of the Great Zhou who are not yet married. Could His Majesty arrange a marriage for me?"
