Seeing Wei Jinzhong take out a bright yellow imperial edict, Xiao Yunze stood up, lifted up his clothes and knelt down.
Wei Jinzhong unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it, "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims:
Since the founding of Daqing, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the nation has flourished. Now, Wei State is experiencing repeated unrest, its treacherous intentions evident. If ignored, the people will suffer. Considering that the Ninth Prince, Xiao Yunze, is in the southwest, closer to Wei State, I have appointed you to quell the rebellion. Depart immediately, without delay! Your Majesty!
After saying this, Wei Jinzhong folded the imperial edict and handed it over, "Your Highness, please accept it."
Xiao Yunze stood up after receiving the order, but had no intention of setting off to the west immediately.
He originally thought that his father would summon him back to the capital, but he never expected that he would be directly assigned to the battlefield.
Now the political parties in the court are clearly divided and the situation is becoming more and more obvious. More and more people see that he is now in a state of decline and have chosen to side with the third brother.
This Wei Jinzhong is a doctor in the Ministry of War. Although he used to be on his side, half a year has passed. The third brother is constantly trying to win over court officials. There is no guarantee that he will not defect to the third brother.
Now his people are restricted in their actions in the court, and it is difficult to confirm which lineage Wei Jinzhong belongs to.
Seeing Xiao Yunze remained silent for a long time, Wei Jinzhong smiled flatteringly and said, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, the Emperor has ordered me to accompany you. Would you like to pack your things first?"
Xiao Yunze glanced at him and said calmly, "There's only minor skirmishes on the border with Wei State right now, and there are cavalry generals guarding the border, so there won't be any problems in the near future. Feng County still has some unfinished business, so you can rest here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning."
Wei Jinzhong, a small fifth-rank official, did not dare to say much about the Ninth Prince's decision and quickly bowed in agreement.
After Xiao Yunze ordered the yamen runners to take Wei Jinzhong to resettle him, he summoned Li Sheng over.
Some time ago, an imperial edict from the palace was sent here, ordering him to appoint officials from Feng County on his own. Xiao Yunze chose the yamen runner Li Sheng.
This person is kind-hearted and sharp-minded, but he also hates the powerful who exploit the people. He hates evil and is not indecisive. He is a good material for being an official.
After explaining some things to Li Sheng, Xiao Yunze asked the kitchen to prepare some dishes that Miss Song liked, and went to "Hao Cai Ji" to pick out some cakes to take with her.
Before leaving, I always have to say goodbye to Miss Song and tell her that I will be away for a while.
At this time, Song Tingwan was watching an anti-Japanese war drama in the store.
A patriotic movie was released a few days ago and it received quite good reviews.
She was too busy at that time and had no time to go to the cinema. It just so happened that she could watch it on the APP, so she subscribed to a membership, closed the store and started watching it attentively.
Just as I was watching the climax and tears were welling up in my eyes, Xiao Yunze walked in with a lunch box.
Song Tingwan was facing the door sideways, completely immersed in the plot, and did not notice the appearance of Xiao Yunze.
It wasn't until the two food boxes were placed on the table that Song Tingwan reacted. She quickly paused the movie, took a few tissues, and wiped away her tears with her back to Xiao Yunze.
"Why did you come so early today?"
Seeing Song Tingwan's eyes and nose flushed red, Xiao Yunze's heart suddenly tightened. "Miss Song, what happened? Did that guy come to bother you again last time?"
Song Tingwan covered her face with a tissue, her brows slightly curved. "No, I just saw a touching part in the movie and couldn't help herself."
Xiao Yunze roughly understood, "Movies, but are they similar to TV dramas?"
Song Tingwan gave him a big thumbs up and said, "Very smart."
Xiao Yunze stared at the paused screen and thought for a moment, "In that case, why don't I watch it with you?"
"Okay." Song Tingwan nodded and raised her eyebrows to look at Xiao Yunze, "But you may not understand it. This movie is set in our world, and there are many things in it that you have never seen before."
Xiao Yunze chuckled, "No problem."
Having said that, Xiao Yunze sat down and started watching with Song Tingwan.
Song Tingwan cried several times in this movie that was less than two hours long excluding the opening and ending credits.
After watching it, Song Tingwan couldn't help but sigh: "It really deserves to be this year's box office champion candidate. The plot is so dense that I dare not even blink. If I had known earlier, I would have made time to go to the cinema to watch it."
Song Tingwan talked a lot about the plot and sighed constantly.
Xiao Yunze didn't quite understand what anti-aircraft guns, tanks, and Gatling guns were, so he didn't say anything and just listened to her quietly.
But there was one thing he understood.
In the war in the movie, countless people were killed and injured, and a person that Miss Song particularly liked also died heroically.
Xiao Yunze couldn't help but think of himself.
Tomorrow, he will also go to the battlefield.
Although the Wei Kingdom is only creating some disturbances now and has not launched any attacks.
But he knew that the Wei Kingdom was ambitious and would not be satisfied with just small-scale conflicts. This war was inevitable no matter what.
On the battlefield, swords have no eyes.
He is not a god, so there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.
If one day, he really died unfortunately...
Will Miss Song still remember him in the future?
Xiao Yunze looked carefully at Song Tingwan, who was indignant about the people who died in the movie, and his heart was slightly moved.
There is no doubt that he likes Miss Song.
He never thought that one day he would fall in love with someone from another time and space.
Miss Song was bright and generous, and had a heart of righteousness. She even did many things for the people of Feng County whom she had never met before, and saved thousands of people from suffering.
It was hard for him to take his eyes off such a dazzling woman.
Xiao Yunze's hands on his knees clenched into fists.
If he doesn't express his feelings today, he may never have the chance to speak again in the future.
