Su Yuan carried the heavy little fellows into the house.

If one eat too much, one won’t even be able to cross the threshold. The three little ones called him Granduncle in a childish voice.

“What about me?” the Old Marquis asked.

The three little ones: “Granduncle!”

“Call me great-grandpa!”

“Great-grandpa!”

“Good children!”

After eating too much, they really wanted to lie down. The three little ones climbed onto the bed and spread out their arms and legs to dry their stomachs.

“How much did you eat?”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know that Zhuge Qing had fed them for the time being and thought that Xing’er had brought them out for dinner.

The three little fellows played by themselves and continued with their business.

The Old Marquis and Su Yuan went to visit the Black Armored Army of the Western Jin. In just a few days, they had gained a lot.

The Black Armored Army had only been established for two and a half years, but their powerful military attainments were even more terrifying than those many old armies.

Generally speaking, the three armies emphasized overall combat. Their individual martial arts were actually not outstanding. The Black Armored Army was different. They were all experts.

“So powerful.” After hearing Su Yuan’s description, Su Xiaoxiao had a clearer understanding of the Black Armored Army. It seemed that Shen Sanjin was not bragging that day. She was suddenly a little curious about the expert behind the eldest prince of the Western Jin, Zhuge Qing.

Thinking of something, she asked again, “I’ve always had a question. Is there an air force in the ancient… Western Jin? There shouldn’t be an air force. What are the three armies?”

Everyone was confused at the beginning, but they understood what she wanted to ask.

Su Yuan smiled and said, “The three armies refer to the front army, the middle army, and the rear army. The front army is the vanguard army, and archers and surprise forces are usually in this group. The middle army is the main force where the commander is. Most of the time, the two armies fight because of the strength of the army. The rear army mainly serves as a cover and guard. Sometimes, it can also be a flank army.”

Su Xiaoxiao had a serious expression. “Forget about this!”

The few of them held back their laughter for a while before continuing to talk about serious matters.

“They also have an archery camp. It’s not inferior to the Wei family’s Divine Bow Camp back then.”

The Wei family’s Divine Bow Camp was famous for their bravery. All of them were sharpshooters, but they had been nurtured after many years of hard work by Lord Wu An and Wei Xu. In just two years, the Western Jin had a bow and arrow battalion that could compete with the Wei family’s Divine Bow Camp. Just thinking about it made one’s hair stand on end.

“Is it also done by Zhuge Qing?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

She was even more curious about this person.

Su Yuan said, “The saying of the Western Jin puts Yuwen Huai as the person in charge. In fact, it’s that Mr. Zhuge.”

It was strange. After coming to the Western Jin, they had asked many people about the power of the prince and officials of the Western Jin. In the end, the most shocking person was actually Zhuge Qing the strategist.

Su Yuan sighed. “I wonder who he is. His background is very mysterious.”

The Old Marquis said schemingly, “It’s fine if the Western Jin is really on good terms with the Great Zhou. If they secretly have the intention to send troops to the Great Zhou, you have to kill Zhuge Qing before you leave!”

The few of them did not refute.

To win a war at the lowest price, one had to shake the other party’s morale to the greatest extent. Zhuge Qing’s influence was not only in the army, but also in the royal family.

Killing him was like severing an arm of the royal family.

Of course, this was the worst-case scenario. For the time being, they had not discovered that the Western Jin had any ambitions for the Great Zhou.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I thought you would return to the West Capital a few days later. ”

The Old Marquis said, “We planned to stay in the military camp for a few more days. Isn’t it His Majesty’s birthday? Tomorrow, your uncle and I will rush back.”

Su Yuan also said, “When we first came to the West Capital, they said that there was a birthday banquet, but it was canceled later. It was precisely because we had time that we suggested going to see the Black Armored Army, but this morning, they said that the birthday banquet was as usual.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized that it was most likely related to the young prince’s condition.

After the young prince fell ill, even if everyone thought that it was a cold at first, it almost took his life. Therefore, the Western Jin emperor canceled the birthday banquet. However, in the past two days, the young prince’s condition had stabilized. The Western Jin emperor was happy and held the birthday banquet again.

The Old Marquis looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting. “Since you’re here, come with us to the banquet.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought that since she had already been exposed by the Western Jin emperor, he would find out about her sooner or later. In that case, it was better to take the initiative to appear.

“You think?” she asked Wei Ting.

“Sure.” Wei Ting had also been exposed at the opera house. He could not go to the opera house for the time being. He would let Fu Su wait.

The Old Marquis asked Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting to move to the West Capital Courier Station with the children. However, the West Capital Courier Station was too far from the Princess’s Residence. Su Xiaoxiao still had to treat the young prince, so she said that she would move there in a few days.

In the courtyard, Zhuge Qing received an invitation from Yuwen Huai.

“What is it?” Mei Ji asked curiously.

Zhuge Qing handed her the invitation.

Mei Ji opened it and took a look. “A palace banquet? Is the old emperor celebrating his birthday again? Sir, are you going?”

“I’m not going.”

Zhuge Qing said.

“Why not?” Mei Ji wanted to go.

Zhuge Qing said calmly, “I just returned from the palace today and have already sent a birthday gift to the Western Jin Emperor.”

Mei Ji squatted down beside his wheelchair and looked at him with her chin in her hands. “All the more reason to go. You’ve already given the gift. Wouldn’t it be a pity not to go for a meal? I heard that there are two chefs from Northern Yan in the palace. Sir is from Northern Yan. You can try some hometown dishes!”

“Northern Yan…” Zhuge Qing said calmly.

Mei Ji felt that Sir seemed to be suddenly unhappy.

Did something bad happen to Sir in Northern Yan? Every time she mentioned it, she would make him unhappy.

Mei Ji immediately said, “Sir, we’re not going. I’ll accompany you to the lake tomorrow! ”

Zhuge Qing glanced at her. “You don’t have to do anything anymore?”

Mei Ji sighed. “Sigh, that guy was tricked by me today. He won’t let it go. In the next few days, he will block me at the opera house. I’d better hide from the limelight unless you lend me an a.s.sa.s.sin and let me kill that guy.”

Zhuge Qing closed the book in his hand. “Which one do you want to borrow?

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao went to make a house call to the young royal prince as usual. The young royal prince’s smallpox had entered its final state. The rashes on his body turned into blisters and pustules. When they fell off and scabbed over, it meant that the path of smallpox was over.

This process was relatively difficult because the patient was already awake and could not help but scratch the itchy blisters.

“You’re not allowed to scratch. You’ll become pockmarked, understand?” Su Xiaoxiao said sternly.

The young prince nodded innocently.

No one in the Western Jin could recognize the three little ones. There was no need for them to hide anything. Su Xiaoxiao openly brought them to the banquet.

The three little fellows were overjoyed. They jumped and walked!

The family got into the carriage and went to the Western Jin Imperial Palace.

Zhuge Qing and Mei Ji were about to leave when Yuwen Huai personally came.

“Sir.”

Yuwen Huai strode over.

Zhuge Qing greeted him politely. “Your Highness, why did you suddenly visit?” Yuwen Huai said, “I want to invite you to the palace banquet tonight. I know that you have never liked such occasions. Don’t worry, you don’t have to socialize. You just have to sit beside me. No one will disturb you.” Mei Ji glared at Yuwen Huai angrily.

What was wrong with this person? Sir had already rejected him but he personally came to invite Sir!

Zhuge Qing paused and smiled. “I’ll oblige.”

About an hour later, Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the Western Jin Imperial Palace.

There were many people at the banquet, and there were also many carriages.

The three little ones looked at the crowd and shouted excitedly..
