The Wife Is First

60 Chapter 60 Princess

"General Hao," Mu Hanzhang stood up and saw that his expression was wrong, so he asked, "But what's the matter?"

"Military advisor, I, Hao Dadao, am a rough man with short knowledge, but there are some things that I just can't see. Hao Dadao looked at him menacingly, and his burly figure, which was a head taller than Mu Hanzhang, was quite oppressive.

Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, stepped back half a step and gave him a flat and clean stone to sit on, and said warmly: "If the general encounters any difficulties, just say it's okay. You are not talented, and you will never refuse if you can help the general."

"..." Facing the gentle and courteous military advisor, Hao Dadao punched the cotton. His anger was suppressed, and he felt uncomfortable all over. He had to sit on the stone angrily.

"Wow!" Xiao Huang jumped on the stone and curiously grabbed the bag around Hao Dadao's waist and scratched it.

Mu Hanzhang looked at him like this and raised his lips quietly: "What happened to the general?"

Hao Dadao sighed: "Commander, I can't control what is going on between you and the prince, but I heard that the prince has a wife in Beijing, and she is a male wife, and she is of noble birth."

Mu Hanzhang frowned: "What does the general mean by this?"

"Dachen's laws stipulate that only male wives are allowed to be married and no male concubines are allowed. It is very disrespectful to the princess to have such an unclear relationship between the military advisor and the prince." Hao Dadao became excited again as he spoke. He had never been used to seeing those things. It is not easy for those who have a wife and are still fooling around outside. It is not easy for a man to take good care of his family.

"General Hao..." Mu Hanzhang blinked.

"With his talents as a military advisor, it is more than enough to get the top prize in the examination. Why bother following another man who is not clear about it?" These words were really hurtful. Hao Dadao did not dare to look up and look at Mu Hanzhang's expression. The military advisor always He treats him well, and he admires what he has done these days, and really doesn't want to see him abuse himself like this.

Mu Hanzhang looked at Hao Dadao like this, and his pursed lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Xiao Huang had bitten the cloth bag at his waist, took out the dried meat inside with a claw hook, and ate it properly. Huan, finally couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing Hao Dadao looking up, he quickly suppressed the smile on his face: "General Hao is really a kind and righteous man, Jun Qing admires him. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the examination again in this life."

"Why is this?" Hao Dadao asked doubtfully.

"Because he has married King Cheng as his wife." Jing Shao just stopped a few steps away after being signaled by his princess's eyes, and now he couldn't help but interject.

"Ah?" Hao Dadao didn't know what he was talking about, so he stood up and the dried meat in the bag fell to the ground. Xiao Huang jumped on it with a groan, and he was so panicked that he didn't know which one to eat first.

Jing Shao strode forward and hugged his princess into his arms. It's really hateful that these guys didn't think about their tactics and came to embarrass Jun Qing.

Mu Hanzhang broke away from his arms around his waist, his handsome face was slightly blushing, he coughed slightly and said to Hao Dadao apologetically: "It was necessary, and this matter has never been spoken out. It is really true that the family members left Beijing. It’s against the rules, and besides, I hope the soldiers in the army can truly accept me, instead of treating me as a princess with meaningless respect, which the general misunderstood..."

Hao Dadao's eyes widened, and his resolute face gradually turned from black to red, then from red to green, and finally turned livid!

Jing Shao came up and hugged his princess's waist, put his chin on his right shoulder, and watched Hao Dadao's face change with interest. In his last life, when he was visiting a brothel in Jiangnan, he was scolded by Hao Dadao, but he didn't listen at all at that time. He didn't go in and laughed at Hao Dadao for being henpecked. Now that he thought about it, Hao Dadao did the right thing. Now that he has a wife, he should respect him and protect him.

"Hehe, in that case, it's Hao who is meddling in his own business." Hao Dadao laughed twice and turned to leave.

"General," Mu Hanzhang hurriedly called him, "it's best not to make any noise about this matter."

Hao Dadao pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "At least Zhao Meng and the others should know, otherwise the prestige of the military advisor will be hindered. Thinking of your personal snickering, I'm afraid it won't be good if it continues like this. Besides, he is the only one. How can one be embarrassed!

"It makes sense," Jing Shao hurriedly agreed, "Go and tell a few of them, but don't say anything about the others."

After Hao Dadao left, Mu Hanzhang suppressed the smile on his face and turned to look at the proud Jing Shao: "The goal has been achieved, are you satisfied?"

Jing Shao blinked innocently and tried to muddle through.

"Aren't you doing what you are doing these days just to let everyone know my identity?" Mu Hanzhang said angrily, "Why are you doing this?"

"Hmph, I hug my own princess in secret every day. How can there be such truth in the world!" Jing Shao was a little guilty at first and gave random reasons, but the more he talked, the more he felt justified, and he gradually raised his head.

Mu Hanzhang sighed, turned around and put away the scattered dried meat to prevent the tiger cub from overeating, and whispered: "Although my father has acquiesced in this matter, other people in the capital are not aware of it. Now that he has said that he will go out, I’m just afraid it will cause trouble.”

Jing Shao knelt down next to him, hugged him into his arms, and kissed his smooth forehead: "As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Hao Dadao clasped his fists and rushed directly into the right guard's tent. Sure enough, Zhao Meng was still there, and the left guard also came. He pulled off the torn cloth bag from his waist, took another one, and put the dried meat on the table into it.

"Hey, this is my dried meat, where's your own?" You Hujun rushed up to protect his pile.

"Been eaten by a tiger cub." Hao Dadao snorted.

"You really went to see the military advisor?" Zhao Meng's eyes widened. This man was really bold. They were just talking about it in private, but he went to question him directly. Such a wise and brave military advisor must have had his own reasons for committing to the prince. Thinking of this, he jumped up immediately, "How can you be so confused? If you tell others like this, how can you let the military advisor deal with himself in the army in the future?"

"That's right, you are too reckless!" The right guard packed his jerky while scolding Hao Dadao.

The left guard took a cup of hot tea and drank it silently. Seeing that the right guard could not fit it, he handed his cloth bag to him.

"What do you know?" Hao Dadao waved his hand and said angrily, "She was married to the princess of Cheng in a formal matchmaker!"

The lively military tent was silent in an instant. Zhao Meng, who was about to rush out to comfort the military advisor, stumbled, and the jerky in the right guard's hand fell to the ground. Only the left guard continued to drink tea silently.

"Ah!" The patrolling guard heard a scream from the right guard's tent and rushed over to ask, but was kicked out and continued patrolling in confusion.

"It's over, it's over..." Zhao Meng squatted on the ground and rubbed his beard vigorously, thinking back to what he had done since Mu Hanzhang entered the military camp, which was enough for the prince to chop him into meat paste.

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you just drink with the princess? The prince is generous and won't bother with you." The right guard patted Zhao Meng's shoulder without sympathy.

Because of such an astonishing news, several generals did not dare to talk to the military advisor for several days.

Not to mention the chaos in the military camp every night, the siege in the daytime never stopped.

Yuncheng was forced by the terrain and it was not easy to attack the city. Every day, they challenged in front of the gate. At first, some people came to fight. Later, Hao Dadao cut off the head of the general who challenged him in anger, and no one dared to come out again. They only relied on bows and arrows and stones to prevent them from approaching every day.

After half a month of stalemate, the arrows in Yuncheng were exhausted. Because the people in the southwest are used to building houses with bamboo, the stone houses that can be demolished in the city have been demolished, and there are not many stones that can be used for throwing.

Jing Shao ordered a forced attack on the city. The siege trees attacked from the front and back. The people in the city were trapped on the isolated island for half a month without any help. They had long been discouraged. In the end, they could not defeat the 100,000 strong soldiers. Taking advantage of the defect at the back door, they broke through the city gate in one fell swoop. The army rushed in, and Jing Shao ordered the army to guard the periphery, only bringing 5,000 guards into the city, and strictly ordered not to disturb the people.

They rushed directly into the Southwest King's mansion. The whole mansion could not find the trace of the Southwest King. Only a group of concubines and a few unpopular bastards were left, gathering in the courtyard and crying.

"Grandpa left with several uncles a few days ago." Jing Shao asked these people, but no one could answer. Only a little kid about six or seven years old said timidly.

Mu Hanzhang squatted down and asked him gently, only then did he know that this was the grandson of the King of Southwest. The King of Southwest must have left a secret passage in the mansion, and did not take this grandson with him when he fled in a hurry.

"Prince, what should we do?" Hao Dadao slammed the Hunyuan knife in his hand to the ground.

"Search for the secret passage, escort this child and those illegitimate sons back to the capital, dismiss all the concubines, leave the army outside the city to rest, and the personal army will repair in the Southwest King's Mansion. I will ask my father for instructions before making a decision." Jing Shao made the arrangements in an orderly manner, and Hao Dadao took the order and left.

Mu Hanzhang stood in the courtyard to observe the Southwest King's Mansion. The front yard was similar to the pavilions and towers in the south of the Yangtze River, but the backyard was the bamboo buildings unique to the southwest, which were lined up one after another, very interesting.

"Let's go, let's go see what good things there are in this mansion." Seeing that he was interested, Jing Shao wanted to reach out for it, but it was inconvenient for him to wear armor, so he held a sleek hand and pulled him towards the main courtyard of the King of Southwest.

The main courtyard of the King of Southwest is a common red column with glazed tiles, which should have been built when the country was founded. There is also an inscription written by Taizu in the main hall, with two strong and powerful characters "loyalty and righteousness" written on it.

The decorations in the room are all tilted, which should be messed up by the concubines who came to search for valuable things later.

"I'm afraid all the valuable things have been taken away." Mu Hanzhang looked at a rosewood base on the table, which should have been placed with some jade carvings.

"That's wrong," Jing Shao smiled mysteriously, "Really valuable things can't be taken away." In his previous life, he did a lot of things to plunder several princes' mansions, so he naturally knew the mystery, and pulled his own princess towards the study of the King of Southwest.
