The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1991

Chapter 1991: Chapter 984: Jingkong and Prime Minister Liu (Jingkong Side Story)

Xuanyuan Xi was temporarily unaware of his conferral as Champion Marquis; the internal strife in the southwest had been quelled, and he was preparing to return.

Before leaving, he went to Simapo, riding on Little Shiyi’s horse, standing atop the high hill and gazing at the distant vast whiteness.

Guo Mang rode his horse alongside him.

Seeing him silent for a long time, Guo Mang couldn’t quite grasp what he was thinking.

Through these days of interaction, Guo Mang had developed a new respect for this young boy who was even younger than his son. He possessed the passionate fervor of youth without the impulsive immaturity; he was brave and intelligent, with a calm and stable disposition.

Guo Mang often marveled that this young man seemed born for the battlefield.

The cold wind howled, and Guo Mang felt a bit of chill. He looked at the side where the boy stood, his lips cracked, his eyes resolute, and finally, he asked, "Sir, what are you looking at?"

Xuanyuan Xi replied, "Looking at the mountains and rivers of Yan Country."

Guo Mang thought for a moment and asked, "And... what do you see?"

Xuanyuan Xi said lightly, "Liang Country, they deserve a beating."

How did the topic suddenly shift to Liang Country? The subject changed rather quickly!

Xuanyuan Xi was not stingy in offering explanations: "Where did the rebel army’s armor and weapons come from? And the funds for raising the army? Zhou Chongyue is just a common military man, how could he have such great capabilities?"

Guo Mang’s face changed: "You mean... the turmoil in the southwest was fueled by Liang Country behind the scenes?"

A dead leaf swirled by and gently fell into Xuanyuan Xi’s palm.

Xuanyuan Xi clenched his hand, eyes cold as he said, "Liang Country."

He released his hand, and the leaf turned to powder, scattering it into the swirling snow.

...

The turmoil in the southwest came to an end, and Xuanyuan Xi set off for the capital.

"The roads are still blocked, maybe you should wait a few more days before returning?" Guo Mang advised sincerely.

"No need."

He wanted to rush back to spend the New Year with Jiaojiao.

He deftly mounted his horse, the red cloak of his silver armor billowing in the wind behind him, full of spirit and handsome.

Guo Mang was stunned.

This child is just too good-looking...

Of course, when killing enemies, he showed not a shred of mercy.

It was hard to imagine that such a dazzlingly beautiful young man was the little killing god that frightened all the rebels on the battlefield just a few days ago.

"General Guo, farewell." The youth said, patting the warhorse’s neck with a smile, "Only thirteen days left, Little Shiyi, it’s up to you."

The adult king among horses raised its front hooves, muscles tensed, mouth wide open as if laughing wildly.

Here I come!

The entire military camp’s horses were knocked over by it!

It darted like an arrow off the bowstring into the endless snow and wind.

...

A man, an eagle, and a horse, braving the biting snowstorm, traversed over mountains, passed through cities, and crossed dense forests.

Finally, they arrived in Shengdu on New Year’s Eve.

The snow in Shengdu was also heavy, yet today there was no wind. The goose-feather-like snow fell silently, few pedestrians on the street, and shops closed.

The only sound through the entire street was the hurried clattering of hooves and the loud cries of an eagle circling high above.

Xuanyuan Xi hadn’t seen Jiaojiao for a year, and he missed her so much it pained him. He was impatient to return to her side.

"Little Shiyi!" He tightened the reins.

The horse king and the youth on its back had grown up together, having an understanding, lifting its already fast speed even further.

The horse king actually wanted to return sooner too.

Human younglings were good, but taking them on walks was troublesome.

This time, it had taken a year off; it really didn’t want to walk him anymore.

It wanted to return to walk Jiaojiao.

...

This year Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen were spending the New Year with their children in Yan Country.

Firstly, to visit Duke An and Shangguan Yun, secondly, because the political situation in Yan Country was tense, Xuanyuan Qi had been stationed at the border pass for two years without returning to the capital.

Gu Jiao might have to set foot on the battlefield.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair strolled in the snow-covered Imperial Garden, with the sound of children’s laughter coming from the flower bushes ahead from time to time.

Innocent and carefree.

A trace of tender indulgence flickered in Shangguan Yun’s eyes.
