Chapter 202: Your Excellency

When Su Shengsheng got closer and took a look, she was scared out of her wits.

I saw Brother Heng riding on a pony alone, his small body looking shaky.

Su Shengsheng was terrified, but she didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring Brother Heng, which would be even more dangerous.

She could only quickly approach and said to Xie Xuan, who was riding his horse coldly behind Brother Heng, with a trembling voice: "...It's time to eat."

He is so brave!

To actually let a child who was barely five years old ride a horse alone...

Xie Xuan looked over, seemed to see the fear on her face, and sighed softly.

The horse carrying Brother Heng slowly stopped.

Brother Heng's pale little face finally calmed down a little.

Su Shengsheng walked into the stables and waited until Xie Xuan came back with Heng Ge. She stepped forward and helped Heng Ge, who was trembling, off the horse.

Without saying anything, he slapped him hard on the butt and said, "Because you've been naughty, you can't ride a horse until you turn sixteen."

Want to fly before you even learn to walk?

"Wow." The tears that Brother Heng had just been holding back suddenly burst out.

Xie Xuan threw the reins to the groom beside him and walked over. "Madam, are you blaming me for taking Brother Heng for a ride?"

Su Shengsheng did not refute, "The general is very skilled and brave, it's my younger brother who is too young."

Although we know that horses are a means of transportation here, men who have the conditions should learn to ride them.

But it was too inhumane for him to let a child who had just started learning to ride by himself.

Mu Ze, who was watching from the side, saw the general pursing his lips and hurried forward to smooth things over.

"Madam, you misunderstood. Our general was already riding a horse and bow at the age of three, so he is much younger than the young master."

Three years old?

Su Shengsheng just hesitated for a moment.

Although I know that this is a place where people fight for their country on horseback, the sons of military generals are all brave.

But she still found it difficult to control her dissatisfaction.

Who told him to let a little kid race alone on the first day without taking any safety measures?

Brother Heng seemed to hear them arguing and quickly sniffed his nose. "It was Brother Heng who wanted to learn horseback riding from my brother-in-law. Brother Heng wanted to protect my sister, as well as my grandparents and mother."

Su Shengsheng's face froze.

I don’t know if it was because Brother Heng called Xie Xuan brother-in-law, or because Brother Heng learned to ride a horse to protect them.

Putting Brother Heng on the ground, Su Shengsheng squatted down and said, "Everyone has their strengths. If you always try to match others' weaknesses, not only will you be putting the cart before the horse, but even your own strengths will be buried."

Brother Heng seemed to understand, "But I want to be like my brother-in-law, who will not be afraid no matter what danger he faces."

After hearing this, Su Shengsheng glanced at Xie Xuan's face as he approached, and wiped Heng Ge's tears and snot with a handkerchief.

"It's normal to be afraid. But if you're afraid of being seen, then that's not fear itself."

He rubbed Heng's head and said, "You're still young, don't worry so much. Just cry if you want to. When you grow up, you won't have the chance to cry anymore."

Brother Heng stared at her blankly, "But the teacher said that men don't shed tears easily."

Su Shengsheng snorted, "Which teacher said that? Did you know that Teacher Guo wet the bed when he was six? Teacher Lu couldn't even recite a poem at the age of eight, and when he was spanked, he burst into tears..."

Brother Heng blinked his eyes and his tears stopped.

The big and the small walked back while chatting about gossip.

Mu Ze walked over to Xie Xuan, bewildered. "Isn't it said that Master Guo from Taoli Academy is a child prodigy who could compose poems at the age of three and write couplets at the age of five? How come he still wets the bed?"

Xie Xuan withdrew his gaze from the two of them, raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Ze who was listening with great interest, "Have all the people been sent out?"

When it came to business, Mu Ze immediately became serious.

"I have already dispatched three groups of people according to the general's orders."

Now the Baishang Kingdom is busy with internal struggles within the royal family and is unable to send troops to India.

But once this wired telegraph comes out, Baishangguo will definitely react.

They will not be able to gain any benefits from the general's impregnable city, so they will definitely point their spearheads at Tianzhu.

Beirong and Nanling are negotiating peace, the regime of Baishang Kingdom is changing, and the general is already thinking about the next war.

Faced with the astronomical figure of 1 million gold ingots.

Even if the Su family cheered up, they couldn't help feeling depressed.

So Ruilin and So Jingshan were originally worried that their father would be unable to get over it, so after discussing it with everyone last night, they had a full talk with their father all night.

Therefore, I got up a little late this morning.

Fortunately, however, they felt a little relieved.

I didn’t know before that the Second Saint caused the deaths of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in order to secure his throne, and that the injustice would never be redressed.

Now that we know, even though it is an imperial decree, we have to bring the two saints back.

But the son did not correct his father's mistakes. Once the emperor passed away in Beirong, this bloody case would never be exposed to the world.

For the upright Old Master Su, this is more important than his own honor and disgrace, and the lives of his family.

If the emperor makes a mistake, it is my duty as the emperor's teacher to correct it.

No matter what, this matter must be exposed to the sun.

Give an explanation to the Qilin Army who died unjustly and the people of Tianqian Pass.

Although it is not worth using one million gold ingots to rescue the two saints, they don't have to really rescue them.

As long as you go on a diplomatic mission to Beirong, you will be able to see the two saints.

They should also be allowed to atone for their sins...

By then, bringing back the Second Saint's written confession would be worth it, even if I had to serve the Su family for life.

Of course, they won't do nothing.

Sheng Yatou’s winter farming is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

and……

Now the emperor has given up resistance, abandoned half of his territory, and allowed the Northern Rong to plunder endlessly.

Only when they become strong themselves can they not be afraid of the powerful countries.

This is what Sheng said, and they deeply agreed with it.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Since everything is set in stone and worries cannot be changed, we might as well have a good drink.

Therefore, the men of the Su family, who had been doing hard labor for a long time, got up a little late after just one day of work.

Jiao and Zhong took the newly harvested barley and boiled a pot of malt sugar.

You can smell the refreshing and sweet fragrance from a long distance away.

Brother Heng's two red rabbit eyes lit up, he stopped sniffing, and ran over happily.

"Slow down..." Su Shengsheng didn't chase him, but watched Brother Heng shuttle among the maids and servants to the kitchen.

In previous years, the general never returned to the palace and always lived in the barracks, which seemed even more deserted during the New Year.

There has never been such a lively scene in the palace.

The housekeeper couldn't stop laughing.

Unfortunately, the princess was so overwhelmed with guilt that she was unwilling to enter the palace...

However, once the general and the Su family bring the two saints back, there will surely be a day when the truth will be revealed to the world.

When the princess gives birth to a little prince, the princess will be able to see things more clearly...

The freshly cooked malt sugar is so sweet.

No need to add anything, the fragrance is the purest.

Jiao smiled and distributed the snacks to everyone. Xie Xuan stood in the corridor and handed one to Su Shengsheng, who was eating happily. "Here!"

Su Shengsheng followed her aunt's instruction and saw Xie Xuan who had been watching them quietly.

She turned the tables and just misunderstood him...

Su Shengsheng also suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she took another handful and then walked towards Xie Xuan.

"It's very sweet, try it."

Xie Xuan's eyes swept across her delicate face with a slightly playful smile, and looked at the crystal malt sugar in her hand.

"Ma'am, are you apologizing to me?"

Su Shengsheng looked at him speechlessly, "General, you are very generous."

Xie Xuan smiled broadly, took it from her hand, and melted in his mouth.

In her expectant gaze, his long eyebrows curved slightly, "Not very sweet." Not as sweet as her.

Su Shengsheng raised her eyebrows after hearing this: So picky?
