Chapter 522 My Dear, I Have Something to Ask of You
After sending Chu Juan back to the room, the moment she closed the door, Chu Juan pushed herself back and hugged Chen Mo.
The large cloak draped on his body unexpectedly slipped from his shoulders and fell to the ground.
"Husband, can you stay with me tonight?" Chu Juan said softly.
Chen Mo turned around and looked at Chu Juan, whose head was nestled on his chest. Judging from her makeup, it was obvious that she had been specially dressed.
As a princess, she has been pampered since childhood, which naturally makes her skin very good, and her face is like a beautiful picture, every detail is just right.
A pretty nose, pink lips, smart eyes, and those high eyebrows.
If you look down, through the neckline of the light green dress, you can see that there is nothing inside the dress and it is in a vacuum state.
Listening to the obvious "purpose" in the words, Chen Mo sighed.
Sometimes he would deliberately not think about it. If he really thought about it, among the girls in the backyard, the ones who really loved him purely and purely were probably Han Anniang, Wu Mi, Yi Shiyan, Xia Zhiqing, Xia Zhining and Song Min.
The other women's feelings for him were not the purest.
Of course, he also understood where they came from, and insisting on longing for their purest feelings was tantamount to being picky.
But after all, Chen Mo still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it being so obvious.
Facing Chu Juan's gaze, Chen Mo pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Miss me?"
"Yes." Chu Juan hugged Chen Mo a little tighter and said, "I really, really want to."
"How much do you think about that?" Chen Mo said with a smile.
Chu Juan bit her pink lips lightly, a few strokes of red appeared on her picture-scroll face, and then let go of the hand holding Chen Mo.
The next second, Chen Mo heard a rustling sound. The laces of Chu Juan's skirt were pulled away, and the skirt slipped to the ground. She hugged Chen Mo again, and the warm and fragrant nephrite clung to him tightly. , tremblingly said: "Think so."
Chen Mo didn't speak, but also used practical actions to show how much he missed her.
He raised his hand to lift his handicraft-like chin, lowered his head and kissed her.
Chu Juan's hands holding Chen Mo's waist turned into wrapping around his neck.
He even stood on tiptoes slightly to prevent Chen Mo from exerting effort in kissing her.
Although Chu Juan's figure is tall, it is only compared with women. If the actual height is converted, it is only about 168.
After Chen Mo broke through to a high-grade warrior, his body seemed to have undergone a second development, and his height now reached 190cm.
Wu Mi and Han Aniang were both unwell. After coming out of the two women's rooms, Chen Mo was holding back a fire. After getting tired of being intimate with Chu Juan for a while, the fire broke out.
Chen Mo picked up Chu Juan and walked towards the soft couch inside.
The quilt that had been laid on the bed sank slightly, and a soft and fragrant body lay on it.
Soon, the calm quilt stirred up waves, the cold wind howled outside and the temperature dropped, but the hot springs inside felt like spring.
For a long time, Chu Juan and Chen Mo hugged each other. After the former's breathing calmed down, he said: "Husband, did you receive the letter I sent you before?"
Chen Mo nodded: "This is the first great victory in Yi County. Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong both contributed to our army. Even if you don't mention it Juan'er, I will not treat them badly."
When he first received Chu Juan's letter, Chen Mo really didn't plan to use Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong.
After all, both of them can betray King Huai, and they may not betray themselves in the future.
But on the way here, he thought about it. Now that he had just recovered the north, he needed people to help him manage such a large territory.
Even if the imperial court agreed to resume the imperial examination, it would take a year at the earliest before selection and appointment. During this year, the North could not ignore it and would still have to send people.
And he is the most lacking of talents around him. If he appoints the children of the Xiao and Wu families, it will make these two families bigger and extend their hands to the north.
As for the children from poor families, there are really not many who can be of great use.
For this reason, they can only be used.
After all, Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong are both middle-grade warriors.
"Actually, my great-uncle is very capable and can be of great use." Chu Juan spoke up for Li Mingfan.
Li Mingfan is her mother's uncle. In terms of relationship, Chu Juan calls her uncle and grandfather.
"Juan'er, if you say that, of course I believe you." After Chen Mo considered it for a while, he said: "That's it. Youzhou has just been recovered, and everything is waiting to be done. It's just time for your uncle and grandfather to display their talents, so I let you My great-uncle used to be the magistrate of Youzhou, and Li Mingzhong became the county magistrate of Bingcheng."
It just so happened that Chang En and the army were in Youzhou, so Chen Mo was not afraid of the situation getting out of control.
"To Youzhou, so far?" Chu Juan was stunned.
Her idea was to hope that Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong would stay in Linzhou as errands, so that she could take care of each other.
"How can you not suffer some hardships when you carry a heavy burden on your shoulders? The journey is nothing. Of course, if Juan'er really feels that it is far away, then forget it."
As soon as Chen Mo's words came out of his mouth, Chu Juan said quickly: "It's not far, it's not far, I'm just talking."
The prefect of Yizhou is a fourth-rank official. Her husband did not lie to her, and he was indeed given a high position.
"Then it's settled. I will issue documents to them tomorrow and take office immediately." Chen Mo said.
"Thank you, husband." Chu Juan's voice was soft and delicate.
"One family does not talk about two families." Chen Mo stroked Chu Juan's jade back, thinking that if Mrs. Xiao begged him again later, he would transfer Xiao Yi to Youzhou as a captain, and let Xiao Yi and Li Mingfan Instead of fighting, it is better to check and balance each other.
Chu Juan put her head into Chen Mo's arms, hesitated for a while, and said: "Husband, I have something to ask you."
Chen Mo realized what it was, but still asked calmly: "What is it?"
"I know that my father took advantage of you to resist Jin Xia and raided Huaizhou. It was my father's fault and he got the lesson he deserved. But he is my father after all. I hope you can spare his life when the time comes." Chu Juan said.
"Just this?" Chen Mo said.
Chu Juan: "???"
"Okay, I promise you."
Chu Juan: "???"
Chu Juan's eyes widened. She never expected Chen Mo to agree to her so easily.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Chu Juan confirmed with some trepidation: "Really?"
Chen Mo nodded again and said, "But I will only spare his life."
Perhaps the surprise overwhelmed Chu Juan's mind. She did not hear the hidden meaning of Chen Mo's words. She raised her head and took the initiative to kiss Chen Mo, and said excitedly: "Husband, you are so good."
Chen Mo smiled and said nothing.
Perhaps she wanted to repay him by this. Chu Juan shrank her body, but was pulled by Chen Mo and hugged. He said softly: "It's getting late, go to bed."
"Yeah." Chu Juan nodded heavily, looking at Chen Mo's eyes, which seemed to be shining, and her heart was warm.
