Chapter 94: The eldest brother is worried about his sister's marriage
Pei Zisu smiled, nodded immediately and praised.

"Your Highness is a man of foresight, and Director Han cares about the people. This matter will be handled properly!"

His words were not compliments, but he meant that this Chief Han was indeed very capable. Therefore, with him in the picture, Pei Zisu felt relieved. He then reported all other matters concerning the army to the King of Han.

He had read all the military reports yesterday, so he didn't miss anything.

The King of Han listened carefully and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he could have a son like this, Hanzhou and even the ambitions in his heart would have someone to be entrusted with. There was a lot of relief in his eyes, but after hearing about his arrangements for the spies hidden by the King of Yi in Xijing City, he had some other ideas.

"Prince Yi has been at odds with me since he was a prince. For so many years, we have to fight against the Southern Army while worrying about him stabbing us in the back. Humph, it's good to remove his spies in Xijing. It can also be regarded as a warning to him."

"Your Highness is right. I mean the same thing. So, Third Brother, please stay in Xijing City to handle this matter. I will come back first."

Hearing what he said, the King of Han put away his serious expression, and asked with a kind smile.

"Engaged?"

"She is engaged to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the eldest granddaughter of the Wenyuan Marquis's mansion. She is also my cousin."

The King of Han had already had someone investigate the background of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She had been weak and sickly since childhood and rarely appeared in public. People only heard that she had a stunning appearance, but not much was known about her other virtues.

However, the news in Xijing City is that Miss Jiang is very much loved by Qinghuan. His niece is a very arrogant person. She doesn't even take the uncles like them seriously. The woman who can be favored by her must be a powerful person.

"Okay, just settle it. Get married and have children sooner, and it will give the Pei family army some hope for the future. Otherwise, you will be at the forefront every day. I am really afraid of you, afraid of Old Pei..."

The words "the old is sending off the young" were not spoken out loud, but everyone present understood them. However, they were all people who had fought in the army for many years before the war, so they were already accustomed to such words.

Pei Zisu smiled indifferently, then replied solemnly.

"The marriage will be held on October 8th. It won't be long before the date is up. I will go north to formally marry my cousin then."

"Okay, then I will give you two the house in the east of the city as a wedding gift. There is Huaiyu Hot Spring water there, which is good for weak people to soak in."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Han was the first to disagree.

He had been coveting that house for a long time but his father had never agreed to give it to him. Now it was given to Pei Zisu as a gift. Of course he was dissatisfied and spoke out immediately.

"Father, think twice. That is the palace of the royal family. How can you give it to General Pei?"

"I don't need to tell you who I want to give my house to."

What the King of Han disliked most was the idea that the Crown Prince was as stupid as a pig. He was not capable of anything himself, and instead of trying to win people's hearts, he made relationships increasingly strained because of his jealousy of others. If he was not the only descendant, the King of Han really wanted to slap him to death.

The prince was scolded in person, and although he shrank back, his dissatisfaction was clearly emanating from his body. Pei Zisu could see that although the house was nice, the hot springs were of no use to his cousin's illness, so he refused right away.

"My cousin Anian is suffering from a fever, and she is most afraid of hot things. Huaiyu Hot Spring should be of no use to her. Your Majesty, please give me something else, such as the shops by the water in the east of the city. How about that?"

Pei Zisu was probably the only one who dared to bargain with the King of Han, so as soon as he opened his mouth, the King of Han laughed uncontrollably.

"You little brat, you must have known that those shops are making a lot of money, so you're rushing over there. What's the matter? Did you give too much as a betrothal gift, and you have no money left?"

"Your Highness is right. I am indeed short of money! I just bought a house for my cousin in Xijing City, so my pockets are empty now!"

The King of Han had already investigated this matter a long time ago. Since the house belonged to Qing Huan, it was estimated that the girl would be merciless when she killed him. Thinking of this, he smiled and nodded and agreed to this matter.

Just a few shops, not a big deal for the King of Han.

Pei Zisu not only gained benefits, but also told the King of Han everything about his house purchase. This openness was the most important thing to the King of Han. Therefore, the two of them gave each other a lot of trust during their chat.

This trip is the real purpose of the King of Han's visit.

"Okay, it's getting late. I have things to do in my palace. You should train well here. You can go north only after the new soldiers are sent to Fancheng. Otherwise, I will be worried!"

"Yes, Zi Su understands!"

Getting married is a family affair, and transporting new soldiers to Fancheng is a state affair. Pei Zisu was able to make a clear distinction between the two. So he stood up to see the King of Han out, and he asked a question as they walked.

"Where's Ziyao?"

"She went to Mu'ao Ridge to train the cavalry. Your Majesty knows her character. She loves horses like her life and nothing can stop her."

The King of Han looked at Pei Zisu thoughtfully, then patted him on the shoulder, mounted his horse, and left with the prince and his entourage. After their horses disappeared, the smile on Pei Zisu's face slowly faded.

It seems that Ziyao’s marriage cannot be delayed.

Now that he is engaged, there is no possibility for him to be with the daughter of King Han, Princess Hongrong. King Han has only one son and one daughter. If a daughter is not possible, then the son will naturally be the next. Moreover, the Crown Prince of Han has not yet had a wife, so Ziyao is the most ideal candidate.

But he did not agree with this marriage at all. Everyone knew what kind of person the Prince of Han was.

Asking his sister to get married, what’s the difference between that and her marrying King Yi in her previous life!
So this matter had to be done as soon as possible, but he had never heard that his sister had a lover. If she was really forcing a match just to avoid the marriage with the Prince of Han, it didn't seem very appropriate. Therefore, the matter was on his mind, but he had no solution.

"Old Ge, send someone to tell Ziyao that he is not allowed to return after three months of training without my order!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Are you coming back to be used as meat for others to watch?"

Ge Huzi was smart and immediately understood what Pei Zisu meant. He nodded immediately and then made the assurance.

"I will go and tell the eldest girl myself that there are jackals in the house and she is not allowed to come back!"

Pei Zisu and he both knew exactly who he was referring to when he called him jackal. They smiled at each other, and then saw Ge Huzi walking quickly towards the stable, and soon he disappeared in the military camp.

Looking up at the scorching sun, Pei Zisu still had some things to do, so he turned around and walked towards the military tent. However, just as he was about to enter, he saw Yue Sheng looking at him with a difficult expression.

"what happened?"

Yue Sheng pointed inside the tent and then said something in a low voice.

"Uncle Nie is here, saying that the old marshal asked him to invite the young general back for dinner."

Hearing this, Pei Zisu sneered. His father really knew how to pick on the weak!
