Chapter 825: Bring Xue Sanfu Along!
Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xue Shi was already four months old, and he was already slowly turning over on his own.
Xue Yan was doing a horse stance under the brick bed at the side while Jiang Yue sat cross-legged on the brick bed. She paid attention to the burning incense behind Xue Yan while she expressionlessly watched Xue Shi. This child turned over and over again on the warm brick bed with difficulty.
Ever since the little brat learned how to turn over, he had been able to play around more. Every time he successfully turned over, he would excitedly babble to Jiang Yue. When the child flipped over again and laid himself on the brick bed, he raised his head and saw Xue Yan doing a horse stance under the brick bed.
He was too young to understand why Xue Yan was putting himself through that. His wide eyes only looked at Xue Yan with curiosity.
Xue Yan was very embarrassed by the attention.
When Jiang Yue saw this, she turned the child over and distracted him with something else to play with.
Xue Yan let out a small breath. However, before he could let his guard down, Xue Shi actually flipped over and laid on his belly. He then looked at Xue Yan with his eyes wide open. Xue Yan awkwardly coughed from the stares.
At the same time, in the southern military camp…
“General, there is a secret decree!” Shiye suddenly rushed in with someone following behind him.
This person was sent by Emperor Hao to find Shao Shuting.
Shao Shuting was in his tent. He had just put on his armor and red helmet and was about to go out for a walk. When he heard this, he quickly cupped his fists and knelt down. He lowered his voice and said, “Long live my Emperor.”
“The Emperor has ordered that the general of the southern region…” This person also lowered his voice and even whispered into Shao Shutings ear, relaying Emperor Hao’s order.
Shao Shutings eyes widened at the news. Then, he was overjoyed.
That was great!
He had said before that according to his understanding of the Emperor, the Emperor would not make matters worse. It turned out that the Emperor had only wanted to uproot the Ji family and resolve the Ji family matters without affecting the people!
Things were getting more urgent now. Shao Shuting hurriedly mobilized a portion of his troops and made his move.
It was a secret edict. Now, Shao Shuting couldn’t tell his father what he was going to do. He only said to his father, “I’ll leave the camp to you. I’ll try to return within ten days.”
Duke Shao had been through three emperors, had been on the battlefield, and had held the position of commander. Even if his son did not say what he was going to do, he could tell that there was a secret edict based on the cryptid message he passed on.
As an official, he would not ask too much. He only said, “Bring Xue Heng along. He’s been in the military camp for almost five months.”
Xue Heng was Xue Sanfu.
Shao Shuting thought that although Xue Sanfu had been in the military camp for less than half a year, he had made rapid progress. There were already many people in the military camp who were no match for Xue Sanfu. Moreover, due to the strict discipline in the military camp, Xue Sanfu’s temper had been restrained a lot. After all, he still had zero actual combat experience. He had to bring him along to give that man some real experience.
With this thought in mind, Shao Shuting naturally agreed, “Alright!’
In the blink of an eye, it was December 21st.
That afternoon, Shao Zhongxi arrived at Xinyuan County at the place where the Wei family used to live. He only needed to ask around and he could quickly conclude that Wei Zizhan was definitely not his nephew.
Everyone told him that Wei Zizhan had a specific birthmark under his feet, they even called him a grim reaper.
This kid had a birthmark under his feet, but he had never told them about it…
