Chapter 374: Three Prefectures
Matchmaker Liu and the others chatted with Aunt Xiao and asked when they would leave.
When she knew they were leaving, Matchmaker Liu was still a little reluctant: "I don't know when we will see each other again after you leave."
Aunt Xiao smiled and said, "We'll see each other again."
Xia Wanniang invited Liu the matchmaker and her family to have dinner before letting Chai Song drive the carriage to take them back.
Aunt Xiao looked at Xia Wanniang and said, "It seems your aunt Liu's son is doing well in school."
Xia Wanniang: "I heard that next year we are going to prepare for the Spring Examination!"
"Well, we're leaving now, so ask Jiao Jiao to prepare a gift." Aunt Xiao was still very grateful to Liu the matchmaker. If it hadn't been for her, her family wouldn't have been able to marry such a good daughter-in-law.
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to her later."
Xiao Chiye had already arrived in Maocheng. When he saw Ke Zheng, he was a little stunned: "Brother Ke, why are you here?"
Ke Zheng saw the dusty Xiao Chiye and patted him on the shoulder: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back first."
Xiao Chiye led Shan Guang and followed Ke Zheng to a large house. He looked at the house with five entrances and said, "You are rich now."
Ke Zheng glanced at him and said, "This is not mine. Come in first. Many people want to see you."
As soon as Xiao Chiye walked into the house, he saw the people standing inside. These were all generals of the Xiao family army, but their conditions were not very good.
When they saw him, their eyes were red: "Third Young General."
Xiao Chiye saluted them and said, "Generals, it's been a long time since we last met."
"That's great, the young general is really still alive." A group of strong men already had tears in their eyes.
Xiao Chiye looked at these familiar faces, as if they were a lifetime ago. He thought he would never see them again in this lifetime, but he never expected that there would be a day when he would see them again.
Ke Zheng looked at them sadly and said, "Don't just stand there, let's go in first."
Everyone then walked into the main room and took their seats one by one.
Xiao Chiye was pushed to the main seat: "I'm sorry to have implicated you."
A man waved his hand and said, "Major General, what are you talking about? We already know the whole story. We must catch that bastard Pu Xingyu and avenge General Xiao and the Xiao family."
Xiao Chiye was calm: "I think you should be aware of the current situation in the northwest. We can't go in together, so we can only disguise ourselves."
Ke Zheng nodded: "We will wait for you here. The others have entered the northwest first and are just waiting for you to arrive to carry out the next plan."
Xiao Chiye began to discuss with a few people in secret: "We must use the lowest cost to replace the military power."
Ke Zheng frowned, "It won't be easy if we don't want to alarm them."
"Oh! I thought I was late." Qiu He walked in from outside.
Xiao Chiye looked at Qiu He, whose face was beaming with ruddy light: "Master Qiu seems to have been living a very comfortable life during this period."
Qiu He laughed loudly: "Thanks to you and Madam Xiao, I am living a good life."
Ke Zheng: "This house belongs to Mr. Qiu."
Xiao Chiye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Master Qiu is quite quick."
Qiu He: "I have no choice. I have to take action first, otherwise I won't be able to help when the time comes. I can't go to the northwest. My presence will easily arouse suspicion."
Xiao Chiye: "You also placed people in the northwest?"
"The three brothers of the Xiong family are just right. One of them entered a city and opened a tavern. The business is pretty good!" Qiu He said with a smile while sitting on a stool.
Xiao Chiye gave him a thumbs up: "Master Qiu is Master Qiu."
Qiu He laughed. He grew up in a mixed crowd in West City and was as slippery as a loach. The three idiots from the Xiong family were thrown to him. He must have become a master now. It was not in vain that Xia Wanniang sent these three to him.
Xiao Chiye got back to business: "Master Qiu, what's the situation in the northwest?"
Qiu He put away the smile on his face: "They are very vigilant, it is difficult to get useful information. They are also very careful in doing things, it is difficult for people to catch them."
He paused and said, “The three governors are not lustful, not greedy for money, not greedy for wine, and they work diligently to petition for the people.”
