Chapter 4293 Ruthless Rejection

I promoted him with good intentions and gave him a chance, but he didn’t want it!

Behind his back, the emperor couldn't help but curse when he was talking to the empress: "This Xiaozhuang is just an adou who can't be helped. Fortunately, the empress valued him so much and told me to take care of him before leaving. I have failed my mother's wishes." .”

The Queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. As the saying goes, everyone has his own ambitions. Since Mr. Zhuang is not willing to be a general, why do you have to force yourself? We in the Zhou Dynasty have no shortage of people who can fight. Forget it, don't punish him. .”

"If I don't punish him, where is my majesty? In the future, I will treat my imperial edict as bullshit. I can listen to it if I want to, but just listen if I don't want to."

"... Your Majesty can punish you if you want, but isn't it too dangerous to go to Shaanxi and Gansu to suppress bandits?" the queen said softly, "After all, Mr. Zhuang is highly valued by the queen."

The emperor hummed: "I am willing to send my mother's own son and daughter to the front line, so why can't I leave him? In front of the country and the country, I can sacrifice anything! What's more, as the commander of my Jinyi Guards, if he can't even get rid of him? If you can’t deal with this even if you are a rat, then you should step aside as soon as possible and make way for someone better, and go home!”

All in all, Xiaozhuang must go on the mission of suppressing bandits.

Shaanxi and Gansu are to the east of Kyoto, not too far apart, but in today's world where people can only ride back and forth on horseback, this round trip plus the time to suppress bandits will take three or four months anyway.

If things go well, I might be able to come back in time for the New Year.

Xiaozhuang didn't care. He didn't have any relatives. He had always lived and ate with Jinyiwei's brothers. This time, it was the same when he went to suppress bandits.

Qian'er knew that he had to go this time, and since her martial arts skills were getting better and better, she felt a little melancholy that she would be delayed for several months.

So she went to the emperor's brother and asked for someone to replace him to suppress the bandits.

However, he was ruthlessly rejected by the imperial brother.

The royal brother suggested that she change her master.

However, with Commander Zhuang in front of him, who else would dare to become her master without opening his eyes?

Isn't this an obvious competition with Commander Zhuang?

Even if Commander Zhuang personally went to help the princess to invite a master, they would either ignore it or pretend to be sick and refuse.

In short, just don’t do it.

Qian'er became more and more melancholy.

After several attempts, Xiaozhuang expressed that he was powerless and could only teach her as many moves as possible in the two days before departure so that she could practice them repeatedly on her own.

Qian'er had no choice but to do this.

Xiaozhuang led five thousand soldiers and got ready to set off. Before leaving, Qian'er gave Xiaozhuang a fox fur cloak and a pair of kneepads as a thank you for teaching her martial arts during this time.

By the time Xiaozhuang arrived in Shaanxi and Gansu, it was already winter, and this warm item was a necessity.

Although he had money to buy it himself, it was not as valuable as the gold gift from Qian'er.

After Xiaozhuang left, Qian'er could only exercise on her own. Without the supervision of this taciturn but stern master, Qian'er often became lazy, spending three days fishing and two days drying nets.

Even so, because she strictly abides by the diet prescribed by her mother, her weight is still visible to the naked eye and she continues to lose weight.

By early winter, she had basically returned to her slender figure as a girl, and her swollen face, double chin, and fat on her waist had all disappeared.

Her big eyes, beautiful nose, and clear and delicate lines on her face and chin transformed her into a beautiful and elegant eldest princess.

The difference from before is that due to continuous training and martial arts practice, her originally too weak temperament has become a little more free and bright.
