Chapter 717.1
Chapter 717: Attitude, merits and faults (Part 1)
Lin Chujiu walked out un a dashing manager, but the personal guards and the Jinwuwei Army suffered. Because Xiao Tianyao ordered them to return to the capital one day earlier.
When Xiao Tianyao returned to the capital, he will not take all of the armies away. He will only take the Jinwuwei Army which originally belonged to him. Xiao Tianyao will not stay, especially after the emperor told him that he send someone to take over the troops and horses on the border… …
Originally, returning to the capital in three days was hectic for the Jinwuwei soldiers. But now that Xiao Tianyao ordered it to be a day earlier, the Jinwuwei soldiers didn’t sleep. They packed up overnight.
After receiving Xiao Tianyao’s order, the army was full of grief and complaints. However, no one in the whole army guessed that Xiao Tianyao suddenly decided to return to the capital one day earlier because of Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu left this afternoon. It was originally an order from Xiao Tianyao. If it had something to do with Lin Chujiu, he would set the return date to return to the capital in two days in the morning.
The soldiers have speculated that their prince ordered them to return to the capital one day earlier, which must be related to the official documents received from the imperial court.
“As soon as the special envoy of the imperial court left, wangye ordered to return to the capital one day earlier. It must be another order from the imperial court.”
The soldiers wanted to directly say that the emperor gave them disgusting orders, but the other party was the emperor after all. Although they only listened to Xiao Tianyao’s orders, they were still in awe of the emperor. Therefore, they accused the imperial court instead.
Of course, some people have other ideas: “I think something happened in the capital. The imperial court urge us to go back many times before, but didn’t wangye ignore it?”
As soon as this statement came out, it was accepted by most people.
The emperor had given them a lot of imperial decrees before, urging them to return to the capital, and let their prince hand over the military power to others, but their prince never paid attention to it.
If he decided to return to the capital early because of an official document from the imperial court, this was not their prince.
“What happened in the capital? Could it be that wangye will marry another woman, sp wangfei left in a hurry, and didn’t say a word to wangye?” Who said that men don’t gossip? A group of men will gossip when they have nothing to do when they gather together as long as someone starts.
“Impossible, when we saw wangfei getting into the carriage, she was still smiling, and she wasn’t unhappy.” The person who spoke was the Jinwuwei soldier who had been by Lin Chujiu’s side and protected her for the past few days.
“Wangfei is a famous and noble lady. Even if she’s not happy, she won’t let you see it. I guess the emperor gave wangye another marriage. Think about it, our wangye is the first-class prince, and he holds a lot of power, but he has no heir. This time, he made such a great achievement, the emperor has to give rewards. The emperor will not reward wangye of gold, silver, and jewelry, he could at least reward wangye 10 beauties.”
It was not unreasonable for the Jinwuwei soldier to guess this. Since Xiao Tianyao’s military power has been stabilized, the emperor has never rewarded Xiao Tianyao with money.
Why should he reward Xiao Tianyao with money? To let him use his money to support his army and horses?
The emperor would be so stupid.

While the Jinwuwei soldiers were discussing why Xiao Tianyao returned to the capital early, the emperor and his confidants were also discussing Xiao Tianyao.
The imperial envoys of the imperial court had arrived, but he didn’t see even Xiao Tianyao’s shadow in the imperial court. The travel speed was not unusually slow. However, the emperor and Prime Minister Lin deduced that Xiao Tianyao should be back during this time.
Of course, Xiao Tianyao will come back, not because the emperor ordered him to return to the capital, but because the food supplies on the border were almost empty.
