Chapter 4321 I Don’t Want to Be in a Humble Position

When he saw the emperor again, he glanced at him and said with a smile: "Rejected?"

Xiaozhuang replied: "Your Majesty is wise."

"You don't seem sad either. This makes me begin to doubt your intention of marrying Qian'er. Do you really want to marry her because you like her?" The emperor looked at him.

Xiaozhuang said: "Your Majesty, I am not used to being happy or angry in my humble position. Besides, it is not something worth feeling sad if the princess refuses to marry me."

"Well, it's hard for you to think about it."

Xiaozhuang smiled and did not explain anything.

The emperor said: "What do you think we should do?"

"The humble position doesn't understand."

"Since Qian'er doesn't want to, then you can marry someone else. As long as you win this battle for me and escort Prince Lian back safely, I will grant you a marriage. This noble lady in Kyoto is your choice."

Xiaozhuang shook his head: "I don't want to get married because of my humble position."

"Then you still want to marry the princess."

"The reason is that she is Princess Rouzhen. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't be able to do it."

"Okay, it's up to you." The emperor didn't like to worry about this. "You can have any other reward as long as you can win. As for Qian'er, she is my biological sister. If she doesn't want to, even if you take credit No matter how big it is, it won’t work.”

Xiaozhuang thought to himself, if you are not willing to force your own sister, how can other people's daughters be willing to be forced?

"Why don't you speak?" the emperor asked.

"Besides the princess, I will not marry anyone."

"You must be a princess? If the princess wants to marry someone else, how are you going to do it?"

"Beizi once said that he could never marry or have children for the rest of his life. He was only willing to do so because he was a princess. If the princess was unwilling, Beizi would accept it without any dissatisfaction or complaint. Please don't worry, Your Majesty. I will win this battle for His Majesty.”

"Fine."

The conversation between the monarch and his ministers ended here.

Xiaozhuang is about to lead his troops and set off.

Before leaving, he sent someone to deliver a brochure to the princess' mansion.

Qian'er took a look and saw that it was the "Boxing Sutra".

"What does this mean?" Qian'er asked the visitor.

The visitor said: "General Zhuang said that this book was given to the princess. Please memorize it before he comes back."

"Do you know it by heart?" Qian'er flipped through the densely packed words in the booklet.

"Yes, the general also said that he will check it when he comes back. Princess, please practice diligently and don't slack off."

"...You go back and tell your general, just say I know."

Qian'er thought for a while and asked Su Tan to bring a huge burden and hand it to the visitor, "As a return gift, I will bring this to your general. I hope he will return home soon."

The subordinate handed the baggage to Xiaozhuang, who was already on the horse.

With thousands of soldiers in front of him, he naturally couldn't open it in public.

He handed the baggage to his entourage for safekeeping and ordered the army to set off.

The new year has just passed and spring is still early.

There is snow and frozen soil everywhere.

The road is slippery and difficult to navigate.

The forward speed of the entire army was also greatly affected.

Fortunately, the further south you go, the warmer the climate becomes.

The forward speed is much faster.

More than two months later, the army finally arrived in southern Xinjiang, preparing to join Prince Lian's team.

Although Xiaozhuang has excellent water quality, he has been living in the north and suddenly came to the humid and hot south, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Even if he is so physically strong, let alone the soldiers he brought with him.

As soon as many people arrived here, they suffered from vomiting and diarrhea because they were not acclimatized to the climate and were unable to fight.

He immediately summoned the military doctor and asked about countermeasures.
