Chapter 769: Stop Outside the Military Camp

Xie Jin rushed to the Qinzheng Palace as quickly as possible, but he still kept his pace as steady as possible and could not act too impatient...

"Thank you, sir." A man wearing a fourth-grade official uniform came over and greeted Xie Jin proactively. He also bowed and said, "Where are you going, sir?"

Xie Jin glanced at the other person. It was Master Mo, the Minister of Industry, and Mo Lingan's father.

Xie Jin stopped and said, "I'm going to the Qinzheng Hall."

Master Mo said: "Going to see the regent?"

Xie Jin nodded.

"The regent is not in Qinzheng Hall."

Xie Jin frowned: "How could that happen?"

"Xiaguan just came from Qinzheng Palace. The regent needed to make an idea for the renovation of Prince Wei's mansion. Xianguan couldn't make the decision, so he went to ask the regent for instructions." Master Mo said, "After discussing the business, the regent took Yao The prince left the palace and said he was going to the military camp in the western suburbs to review the training results. "

Xie Jin frowned slightly, so he was separated from the regent and Yaoyao?

Just go to the Dazheng Palace to ask for peace, and the Lord actually left the palace? The Lord should already know the news of his return.

Well, if going to the military camp was part of the plan, obviously the Lord would not delay the plan just for him to come back.

Xie Jin pondered for a moment and decided to go back home to take a shower and change clothes, and then go out of the city to visit the military camp.

Yaoyao probably doesn't know about his return yet, so he can give him a surprise.

Xie Jin made up his mind and walked towards the palace gate with Master Mo: "Master Mo just said that Prince Wei's palace is under renovation? Is this an order from the regent?"

"Yes." Mr. Mo nodded, "I guess I am going to give the royal palace to a minister."

Xie Jin glanced sideways and asked with a smile: "Who does Lord Mo think it should be given to?"

"It's hard to say." Mr. Mo shook his head, "The size of the palace is not affordable for ordinary people to live in. After the renovation, they must be the king's favorites... For example, Mr. Xie, or Prince Yao can live in it. I guess the highest possibility is Prince Yao."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: "Why Prince Yao?"

"Because Prince Yao often lives in the military camp and does not have his own mansion."

Xie Jin said: "The King of Huainan used to have his own palace. Prince Yao can live there if he wants. He is just not used to living in the palace."

There is no difference between the Prince of Wei's Mansion and the Prince of Huainan's Mansion to Xuanyuan Yao. Both can be moved in with a little repair and maintenance. But Xuanyuan Yao is used to eating and living in the same military camp with the soldiers. Even if he is with Xie Jin, it is just Occasionally I go to Jinyuan to stay for a few days, and I have no intention of staying in the palace.

"Aren't you used to living in a prince's palace?" Upon hearing this, Lord Mo seemed to think that what Xie Jin said was reasonable, and nodded slowly, "That's right, then it should not be given to Prince Yao."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Mo Lingan isn't at home?"

"Not here." Mr. Mo frowned slightly, "It seems that the regent sent him an errand. I didn't ask the official about the details, and he didn't tell me. He was just confused. He didn't have an official position. Why does the regent send him errands so often?"

Xie Jin was silent for a moment: "Isn't Mo Lingan good at martial arts?"

Master Mo said: "You can't make a living if you know martial arts."

"But it's easier to go out and do things if you know martial arts."

Is it convenient to do things?

Master Mo didn't know what he thought of, and he was slightly frightened: "You're not going out to kill people, are you?"

Xie Jin's expression paused, then he laughed: "Why would Mr. Mo think so?"

"I always feel that what Ling'an did is something shameful." Master Mo frowned, calmly approached Xie Jin and asked in a low voice, "Master Xie, will Ling'an be at risk of being silenced in the future? I only have a son like this. If you can speak in front of the regent, you must ask the regent to leave a message for Ling'an to continue the family line..."

The corner of Xie Jin's mouth twitched, and Master Mo's imagination was immediately captivated.

But after thinking about it, he obviously understands Master Mo's thoughts. Mo Lingan has been away from home all year round, so he must give his father an explanation. Telling a lie usually requires countless lies to cover it up, so the only option is Tell the truth.

As an official in the court, Mr. Mo knew that some things were secrets of the court. As long as his son said that he needed to keep it secret, as an official of the court, Mr. Mo would naturally not ask further questions.

But it is human nature for a father to worry about his son. Over time, he will inevitably become worried. Moreover, since Mo Lingan does not have an official position, it is impossible for him to tell the details of Jiuxiao Pavilion frankly. Lord Mo will naturally make speculations.

Xie Jin pondered for a moment: "It will definitely not be silenced. Master Mo does not need to worry about this. As for carrying on the family line..."

After a slight pause in his tone, he said, "No, Master Mo has chosen a wife for Ling An?"

"That's not true." Mr. Mo shook his head, "He is often away from home, so what's the use of me choosing a wife for him? It's just wasting his girl."

"Master Mo, there is no need to be too anxious. Ling'an is still young now. I will go and talk to him someday when I have time. It would be great if he has a girl he likes. If not, let's see if Her Majesty the Queen can choose a virtuous girl for him. ’s wife.”

Master Mo was startled: "Let Her Majesty the Queen grant a marriage?"

"Yes." Xie Jin nodded, "Her Majesty the Queen likes to give people marriage the most."

"Absolutely not." Mr. Mo quickly stopped him, "I am just a minister of the Ministry of Industry, how dare I let Her Majesty the Queen worry about Ling'an's marriage? Mr. Xie, please don't mention this matter again, lest it will cause trouble for Ling'an. The crime of being arrogant."

Xie Jin was quiet for a moment and nodded slowly: "Well, I still have something to do, so I won't chat with Master Mo for the time being. Let's go ahead."

Lord Mo hurriedly said, "Lord Xie, please do as you please."

Xie Jin nodded, left the palace, and rode back to the Xie family.

The servants of Jinyuan were busy again. Mrs. Xie was delighted that her son had returned home, and quickly ordered people to prepare a large table of delicious food. However, before she could talk to her son, Xie Jin had already changed into a light black short-sleeved outfit after taking a bath, and looked like he was ready to go out.

"Jin'er." Mrs. Xie just walked to Jin Garden and saw her son coming out. "Where are you going now?"

"Military camp."

Mrs. Xie's expression was hard to describe: "Even if you can't wait to see Yaoyao, you should wait until you have dinner. Are you so impatient?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Jin laughed. "I went to the military camp not just to see Yaoyao, but because the regent also went to the military camp."

Mrs. Xie was stunned: "The regent also went to the military camp?"

Xie Jin nodded: "Mom, go and do your work first, don't worry about me."

He is so old, and he didn't need his mother to take care of him many years ago. I don't know why his mother suddenly had the urge to prepare a sumptuous meal to reward him today?

Xie Jin quickly left the house and rode towards the city gate.

Mrs. Xie muttered, "Even if the Regent is in the military camp, it has nothing to do with you, right? Civil officials don't have to go to the military camp to pay respects... and you say it's not for Yaoyao? Who believes it?"

Xie Jin rushed to the military camp so hurriedly because Rong Yu went to the military camp. He didn't forget what Lord Mo said, that the Regent was to review the training results of the Black Obsidian Army. Counting the days, the two years given to Yaoyao by the Lord seemed to have expired, and it should be expected to review the army at this time.

However, Xie Jin didn't know whether the action this afternoon was decided on the spur of the moment or planned in advance. If it was planned in advance, the Black Obsidian Army would have to conduct a large-scale exercise, but half a day was not enough.

So Xie Jin guessed that the exercise plan had not yet been finalized, and the Lord was very likely to just go to the military camp to inspect it and discuss with the Black Obsidian Army generals when the exercise plan would be set.

As expected, when Xie Jin arrived at the military camp, the eighteen guards around Xuanyuan Yao who were on routine patrol first spotted him and reminded him: "The Regent is now in the commander's tent discussing military affairs with the generals. It might not be appropriate for Mr. Xie to go there at this time."

It was indeed inappropriate.

Xie Jin pulled the reins and stopped outside the military camp.

Even though his relationship with Yao Yao had been approved by the Lord, the close contacts between the powerful officials and the generals in the court had always been feared by the monarch. Even if the Regent allowed their relationship, it did not mean that Xie Jin's behavior of entering and leaving the military camp at any time was right.

Xie Jin was silent for a moment and said lightly: "The Regent was in the big tent, just discussing military affairs?"

The leader of the eighteen guards nodded.

"Nothing else?"

The leader of the eighteen guards said: "It should be against the rules to inquire about the whereabouts of the Regent without authorization."
