He certainly didn't miss the glint in her eyes, but he didn't point it out. He just wanted to coax her, because he was full anyway.
Then he hugged her from behind: "Then sleep."
The next day, Xie Xianyu got up at daybreak, washed up, and after getting dressed, he quietly went into the inner room.
She was still sleeping, curled up in the quilt. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead before getting up and leaving.
After leaving Xie's house, he instructed Fu Xian: "You stay and follow the young lady."
"yes."
Xie Xianyu jumped on his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.
Su Yan and others were already waiting for him at the city gate. After meeting up, they set off directly to Jinyang.
"Why didn't Lord Su say a word along the way? How come Tu is more stable than Lord Xie?" a deputy general asked with a smile while riding his horse.
Su Yan pulled the corner of his lips: "Something happened at home."
"Oh, it can't be a woman, right? Lord Su has always been popular with women, how could he be worried about a woman?"
Su Yan didn't answer and fell into silence.
Xie Xianyu glanced at his gloomy face and said, "Is it really that serious? He's already in the mansion, so why worry?"
Su Yan shook his head: "I don't know either. I always feel uneasy."
Xie Xianyu was too lazy to care. He could help with other things, but he would never ask anyone for help when it came to matters of the heart.
After arriving in Jinyang, he began to patrol.
At this time, the army was on high alert. Xie Xianyu was patrolling on behalf of the emperor, so he did not dare to be careless.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, a deputy general hurriedly arranged for people to prepare for the evening banquet.
"The banquet was held outside. Lord Xie, what delicacies have you not tasted in the capital? We don't have much else to eat here, just a lot of game, roasted whole lamb, roasted rabbit, fried quail, etc., and there's also the jar of Tusu wine that our great general has treasured. Bring it over too."
"yes."
"Brother Lin."
Lieutenant General Lin raised his head in surprise: "Zhu Jia? Why are you here?"
Zhu Jia smiled and said, "I came to see my brothers."
Deputy General Lin asked with some concern, "I heard you were dismissed?"
"You know that Yiyi has always wanted me to get married, but now he has to give up his power." Zhu Jia was a little sad.
Deputy General Lin patted her shoulder and said, "Marquis Ding'an must have done this for you."
Although Zhu Jia was dismissed from his post, the 20,000 soldiers stationed at Prince Jin's camp were all from the Meng family army. Many of them knew Zhu Jia, and she still had the token to enter and exit the barracks, so it was convenient for her to come and go as she pleased.
"Are you coming today? A dignitary has arrived in the capital and they need to patrol the troops. The entire army has to be on high alert. I'm afraid I don't have time to greet you."
Zhu Jia smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not busy. I'll help you."
"How can that be? How can I let you do such menial work?"
Zhu Jia was also a general in the past.
"Brothers in the army are one family. There's nothing we can't do. I'm not willing to stay home and wait for marriage. Even if I have to be a small soldier in the army, I'm willing to do that."
There was a hint of admiration in Lieutenant General Lin's eyes: "You never admit defeat."
As dusk fell, today's military exercises came to an end. After Xie Xianyu and the commander finished their discussion in the big tent, General Cai invited him to a dinner.
The dinner was held in an open space outside. Although it was summer now, the nights were still cool. Xie Xianyu sat in the main seat, General Cai sat on the right, and the rest of the generals sat on the left and right sides.
"Thank you, sir, how do you look today?"
"After all, they are the Meng family army, so they are impeccable."
General Cai laughed heartily. "Thank you, Lord, for what you said. I'm relieved! Come on, let's drink! Bring us some wine!"
A group of soldiers were about to come in with wine jugs. The leading soldier almost tripped and fell, so Zhu Jia hurriedly helped him up.
"Thank you, General Zhu!" the soldier hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Zhu Jia even helped him steady the wine jug: "Be careful."
After the soldiers had gone far away, Zhu Jia took out a pot of wine that he had just exchanged in the chaos from behind his back.
The soldiers came in holding wine jugs. The leading soldier had placed the wine on the table for Xie Xianyu himself. Each of them had a jug of wine, which he poured specially.
General Cai picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, sir, please!"
Xie Xianyu also picked up his wine glass: "General Cai, you're too polite."
General Cai drank the entire glass in one gulp, and Xie Xianyu also raised the glass to his own lips.
