In the afternoon, Xiao Wu had no intention of cultivating.

On the one hand, he suddenly rose to the eighth layer of qi refining, and he still hasn't gotten used to it. On the other hand, I have been away from home for a few days, so I may be able to take a leave of absence and go back to have a look.

Xiao Wu sat quietly for a while, calming down his mind and straightening out his qi sea whirlpool. Although the effect of the medicine was domineering and poisonous, it seemed that the side effects were not big now, and the whirlpool of his qi sea was still spinning smoothly. The only problem is that Xiao Wu doesn't dare to invoke his true qi at will now, and he doesn't control his power well.

Seeing noon, it is estimated that Dad should be almost busy. Xiao Wu took leave with the crown prince and walked towards the cabinet. Seeing their father, both of them were overjoyed.

"Father, the child has taken a leave of absence and wants to go home to visit his mother. ”

Xiao Zicheng thought for a while and said, "You go back, I'll go back to look for you after I'm done with official business in the evening." ”

Xiao Wugang wanted to agree, but shook his head, "Father, the child needs to return to the palace at night." ”

Xiao Zicheng didn't ask in detail, but said hello to his subordinate officials, took Xiao Wu's hand and walked out, "Let's go, let's have a drink at noon today." ”

Xiao Wu's heart warmed, and Xiao Zicheng was also changing during this time. Leaving official duties and going home was something that would not have been possible in the past.

The father and son chatted in the carriage, mostly asking about the situation of meeting the emperor and what lessons he had taught the prince. Hearing Xiao Wu's punishment for copying the multiplication table this morning, Xiao Zicheng laughed, "In the past, most of the punishments were received by companions, but they were just beating the ruler. Your copying is also chic. ”

Xiao Wu was stunned, "Don't other teachers punish copying homework?"

Xiao Zicheng shook his head and said, "Punishment, but no one has punished a thousand times." Hahaha!" said the two of them, laughing together.

Xiao Zicheng laughed at his son's boldness, since he knew that his son had entered the cultivation, he had completely changed his mentality towards the court, and it didn't matter if he felt that his son was bold at this time, after all, he was not ordinary.

Xiao Wu thought of his punishment copying, which was different from when he was in his hometown, where people used brushes...... Copying with a brush a thousand times, but unlike a pencil pen. Well, you can punish them for copying more in the future.

When the two returned home, a family member had already informed Zhang Lanying. Seeing each other at this time, Xiao Wu only shouted, "Mom, I'm back." ”

Zhang Lanying took Xiao Wu's hand and looked left and right, "Son, you have lost weight." ”

It's only been a few days? How can I lose weight?! But think about it, I have been eating less and less recently, and I have spent more time relying on cultivation, and my appetite is not so strong.

The family eats, but a large table is filled. Xiao Wu couldn't help but sigh, it's better to be at home.

Xiao Wu didn't have a strong appetite, but he couldn't stop when he moved his chopsticks. It's not because the food at home is delicious, but because the "good mouth" of the Heavenly Demon Devouring Heavenly Gong is directly activated, as if it hasn't been fed for a long time.

The couple was originally going to care about their son at the dinner table, but who would have thought that the son would open his mouth directly to eat, and he couldn't stop at all.

Zhang Lanying sighed softly, "Son!

Xiao Zicheng looked helpless, what can this kid suffer? Besides, it is in the palace, can he still suffer him? But his own son is indeed like a starving ghost reincarnated, is he not used to eating food in the palace?

The meal became a meal and the two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and stared at each other with big eyes.

After Xiao Wu had swept all the food, Zhang Lanying stroked Xiao Wu's head and said, "Wu'er is full?"

Xiao Zicheng didn't have a good breath and said, "It's just a cow, it's time to be full!" After saying that, he put down his rice bowl, and the couple didn't eat much.

The family of three talked about some family life, and Xiao Wu told him about his class in the palace again, which made Zhang Lanying laugh.

chatted for a while, but it was Zhang Lanying who said first, "Husband, tell Wu'er about the situation in the southwest." "Zhang Lanying has never been a housewife.

Xiao Zicheng nodded, "Wu'er came back this time, but I heard the wind. ”

Xiao Wu nodded solemnly, although he seemed to be calm at the prince's place, that is, he knew that no matter how well-informed the East Palace was, it was not as detailed as his father. After all, the army in the southwest is in the hands of Dad.

Xiao Zicheng continued, "Since the first emperor and your grandfather worked hard, my Great Song Army has become the head of the Three Kingdoms of Song, Chu and Qi. There has been no war for more than a decade. However, if you don't fight for a long time, you will be slack, not to mention that Chu is located in the southwest, which is far less rich than my Great Song Dynasty. Once there is the strength of a fight, it will not let go. Now, more than ten years later, I must have thought that I have the hope of victory. My son is the generalissimo of the Shang army and the general of Pingnan, and he is in charge of the three sides, and if there is a war with the state of Chu, he will definitely go. ”

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "The child cares, but the child can't fight." ”

Xiao Zicheng smiled, "It's not difficult. My Xiao family gave up military power, but they transferred all their original henchmen to the southwest. If he has a holy decree one day, he will write another letter for your father, and you can entrust the war to your three uncles. These three are childhood friends of their father, and they are friends who are irreversible. What's more, the generals of my Xiao family are all in the southwest, so it can be said that the southwest border is impregnable. With them, it's hard to lose if you want to. ”

Xiao Wu Yile, "Then I'll just go and get some credit?"

But seeing Xiao Zicheng's face suddenly solemn, "It's not the war that I'm worried about for my father." ”

Xiao Wu wondered, "What is my father worried about?"

But he heard Zhang Lanying say quietly, "I'm afraid that I'm just afraid that the Chu State will ask the monks to make a move, and they want to do wrong." ”

Xiao Wu frowned, waiting for his parents' next words.

Xiao Zicheng nodded and said, "No one knows the identity of my son's monk now, if it is known to the world, he will definitely be able to sit in command and not go to the front line to participate in the war, which is a good thing." There was an agreement between the three kingdoms that monks were not allowed to participate in the war, and at most they could give advice. ”

Xiao Wu said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Xiao Zicheng shook his head, "An agreement is just an agreement, if you take it seriously, then you will not be far from death." ”

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, if this rule is really obeyed, then this battle is child's play.

Xiao Zicheng said, "In all the major wars, there were monks who took action. It's just that instead of entering the battlefield openly, the two countries asked Sanxiu to assassinate the enemy's commander-in-chief. ”

Xiao Wu asked, "Don't you care about the worship hall?"

Xiao Zicheng sighed and said, "The worship hall occasionally sends offerings to guard, but it has always been the death of assassins, and I don't know how many. In particular, the monk's action is beyond the imagination of us ordinary people. ”

Xiao Wu nodded slowly, he remembered the man in black named Li Qingshan, what he said about poison and spiders, this is not something that mortals can prevent.

Xiao Wudao, "There are guards in the worship hall, and although the child's cultivation time is short, he can be regarded as a monk, so he should not be afraid." ”

But seeing that Xiao Zicheng's face was a little dark, he had never been solemn, his eyes were staring at Xiao Wu deadly, the brilliance in his eyes seemed to be projected, he said slowly word by word, "I'm afraid that my son will go on an expedition, and the Son of Heaven may not send an offering hall!"

"!!" Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment.

He remembered his father's renunciation of military power, and the so-called "unprecedented achievements" that his father had prepared for himself. Xiao Wu also understood at once why his father could still leave the military power in the southwest. This is not left by the Son of Heaven to Xiao Zicheng, it is a reason left by the Son of Heaven, a reason why the generalissimo of the Shang army must go to the battlefield.

Zhang Lanying sighed faintly.

Xiao Zi became enlightened, "For my father, I will try to extend the cultivation for Wu'er! Moreover, this military power in the southwest after the war, because my father does not believe in it, I can't exchange it for an enshrined guard." ”

Xiao Wu is not so optimistic, he is the only seedling of the Xiao family, and if he is gone, there will be nothing left of this behemoth of the Xiao family. And it wasn't killed by the emperor, how can my father really rebel?

Moreover, the current Xiao family has been exchanged for his own cultivation resources by his father. I can't retreat anymore, and if I retreat again, even my father's protection is gone.

Xiao Wu stood up, bowed deeply to his father, and said solemnly, "Father, rest assured, the child is no worse than those worshippers in the worship hall." The father's military power can no longer be handed over, the heavenly family is ruthless, and the father still needs to stand on the court, without soldiers and generals, for fear that the rabbit will die and the dog will cook. ”

Xiao Wu is not bragging, although he didn't fight much with those worshippers, but he also fought a few face-to-faces. Although you may not be able to fight, you will definitely be able to run.

Xiao Zicheng looked like a much more mature son, with deep eyes.
