Quick Transmigration: The Endangered Cub Rescue Plan

Chapter 764 Postscript: Xiao Ling's World (Part )

"Madam, Madam, the general has entered the city!"

Following the servant's announcement, Song Xia stood up in surprise: "Open the gate quickly to welcome you, Xi Que, how is my makeup?"

"All right, everything is fine. Madam, you look radiant today. The general will be relieved when he sees you."

"He has been away fighting for many years, so we must not let him worry. When he comes back and sees that we are living well in the mansion, he will feel more at ease when he is away from home in the future."

"General, you have been on the expedition for two years and just returned. You finally returned victorious, but you have to leave Beijing again?" The servants all looked reluctant. The general's family has dwindled, and only the general is left. To put it bluntly, if the general is outside... Sigh...

Song Xia's face was filled with worry. "The situation at the border is tense right now. There is nothing we can do about it. Apart from Shao'er, the only one capable of resisting foreign enemies is Wang Xun, the king of a different surname."

The servants stopped answering, because everyone in the capital knew that the emperor was now afraid of Prince Xun's military achievements and was unlikely to allow Prince Xun to continue to go to war. Otherwise, it would be unclear whether the world would be ruled by the Min or Si clan in the future.

From this title, we can tell how much territory the Prince of Xun recovered for the imperial court. It is said that the Prince of Xun was born in poverty and was only fifteen years old when he made his first outstanding military achievement.

At that time, the power struggles among several factions in the imperial court led to repeated intensification of the war. In order to hold his breath, the emperor, against all odds, appointed the emerging prince Si Hengnian as major general. Si Hengnian did not disappoint the emperor and fought for more than ten years without ever being defeated.

In order to check and balance the other forces, Si Hengnian's official title and military power increased again and again, until he could no longer be promoted and was enthroned as the only king of a different surname in this dynasty.

In the past, His Majesty thought that Si Hengnian was born in the lower class and was easy to control, no matter how high his official title was. It was not until Prince Xun was now twenty-five and still repeatedly and firmly refused His Majesty's marriage that His Majesty finally felt threatened. So, in the name of not wanting to let him go to war again, His Majesty ordered him to live out his days in the capital.

Although he no longer went to war, the military power in Si Hengnian's hands did not disappear, and now the 200,000 troops at the border were still Si Hengnian's supporters, until Song Xia's son Feng Shao began to show his talent in combat.

And because the first three generations of the Feng family died guarding the border, the military officers at the border all had some connections with the Feng family. Therefore, only Feng Shao would not be seriously excluded if he went to lead the war.

Feng Shao went to the battlefield at the age of eighteen, and this year is the year of his coming of age. He has also not been defeated in the past two years, so people all over the world say that he is the successor of Si Hengnian. He was able to win because of the guidance of Xun Wang Si Hengnian.

The General's Mansion was extremely unhappy with these rumors, because only they themselves knew that Feng Shao not only did not get the support of Si Hengnian when he went to the war, but instead encountered many obstacles. If it were not for the three generations of loyalty and bravery in their General's Mansion, he might not have been able to fight even the first battle. How could he have returned to the capital in such glory today?

However, because of Prince Xun Si Heng's military exploits in the past, their General's Mansion could not make an excuse. After all, Prince Xun had a very high reputation among the people. Once their General's Mansion angered public opinion, even the Emperor would find it difficult to save himself.

What's more, His Majesty does not entirely value the General's Mansion, he only promotes it in order to check and balance Si Hengnian. If their General's Mansion does not live up to expectations, His Majesty may impose sanctions on it at the first opportunity in exchange for the prince's calmness and the support of public opinion.

Song Xia waited at the mansion gate for a long time but didn't see anyone. Later she learned that her son Feng Shaoxian had gone to the palace to report.

She thought to herself that this was a good thing, so as to avoid making the emperor more fearful.

By the time Feng Shao returned home after reporting on his work, the moon was already high in the sky, but the general's mansion was still brightly lit.

Seeing her son so exhausted and dusty, Song Xia couldn't help but feel distressed. Her eyes were red. "It's good that you come back safely. It's good that you come back safely."

"Mother, I am an unfilial son." Feng Shao knelt down directly, "I am sorry to have made you worried." "Hurry up, what are you doing?" Song Xia helped him up while choking with sobs, "Seeing that you are safe and sound, mother is relieved."

"Mom, don't cry. As long as you are in the capital, your son will crawl back home no matter what."

"Don't say such unlucky things. Come into the house and wash yourself up first. Mother has made something delicious for you."

"Yes." Feng Shao nodded heavily, then pulled a person over, "Mom, this is my good brother Zhou Qing, now he is my military advisor. Because of his strategy, the last two victories were particularly easy."

Song Xia's gaze shifted to a young man with a face as white as jade. She saw that the man had an extraordinary demeanor, a warm smile on his face, and a look of excitement in his eyes. In fact, she had just noticed a burning look in his eyes, but she had not had time to say hello. When they met, she always felt that he seemed a little familiar.

This feeling made Song Xia slightly stunned. She had traveled through so many worlds and her judgment of people was always correct, but the Zhou Qing in front of her gave her a complex feeling that came from the bottom of her heart.

Why is that?
She was almost certain that this person did not appear in her memory of her previous life. Where did this sense of familiarity come from?

This kind of unexpected change happened for the first time.

"Mrs. Song." Zhou Qing respectfully bowed as a junior, "I have no parents, and I am sorry for bothering you during this period of time."

Song Xia said politely, "No way, you are Shao'er's military advisor, so you are one of our family members. You can stay as long as you want."

"Really?" Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with joy. "On ordinary days, I call General Feng my brother, and you treat me as your own family, so can I call you foster mother?"

Not only Song Xia, but Feng Shao was also stunned. He didn't know that his sworn brother would become so familiar with him one day!
Although it was awkward, seeing his eager, pleading and pitiful expression, Song Xia still sighed softly: "Since you want to recognize your stepmother, you can't be so hasty. When the three ceremonies are ready tomorrow, we will officially recognize each other."

"Hey!" Zhou Qing answered crisply, his bright eyes full of joy.

Song Xia also smiled. Although she had mixed feelings when she first saw the child, she could not be wrong about people. This was a good child!

Feng Shao, on the other hand, felt unhappy. He always felt that Zhou Qing came back with him to steal his mother.

Then he shook his head randomly. How could this be possible? Zhou Qing didn't know his mother before. Maybe he had no family since he was a child. And he treated him like a brother, so he felt a sense of belonging when he saw his mother!

Because Song Xia didn't know about Zhou Qing's existence before, she didn't prepare a wing room. However, she was going to adopt her son tomorrow, so preparing a wing room alone was not enough, and she had to prepare a separate courtyard.

There are very few people in their general's mansion. Now that they have an adopted son, it will become more lively in the future. Even the servants are very happy.

"Military Advisor Zhou is a man of great talent and appearance. I, the servant, congratulate the old lady."

Song Xia smiled and said, "This is indeed a rare good thing for our general's mansion. Then we will give each servant an extra two months' salary, and we can all be happy together."

As a result, the servants became happier and kept saying auspicious and lucky words.
