Chapter 887

In the hot summer, the cicadas were shouting non-stop outside, but Brother Rui's small study room was very cool.

Brother Rui said to his two younger brothers sullenly: "Big brother can go to Yucheng with dad, but I can't." No matter what he is too young, the eldest brother is obviously only one year older than him. The eldest brother can go, but he can't.

Brother Yu said: "Didn't Mother say that I will let you go two years later." Brother Yu didn't have any feelings about whether he could go to the battlefield.

Brother Xuan said: "Second brother, it's better not to go to Yucheng because it's full of wind and sand." Brother Xuan is not interested in fighting, so it's best not to go.

Brother Rui felt that he could not find an ally, so he sat down on a chair in frustration.

The servant girl Younan said outside: "Second Young Master, Wangfei sent someone to bring a pot of flowers and asked to put it in the study."

Brother Rui is not interested in such flora and fauna.

You Nan brought in a pot of jasmine. Several flowers of jasmine bloomed in this pot, and the petals were separated layer by layer, as moist as jade and white as silk, exuding bursts of fragrance. Against the backdrop of the green leaves, the white flowers are like pearls on the jasper, very beautiful. It's a pity, Brother Rui is being irritable right now, when he saw the flower, he reached out and picked it off and put it on the table.

Seeing that Brother Rui still wanted to pick it, Brother Xuan hurriedly stopped him, and said with a heartbroken face: "Second brother, you really don't know how to cherish things, do you?" The fourth brother, only Brother Xuan cherishes these flowers and plants .

Brother Rui said nonchalantly: "If you like it, you can take it back with you when you go back." If his mother hadn't said that it would be nice to look at these flowers when his eyes were tired from reading in the study, he would not be willing to put these things.

Brother Xuan said: "Okay, I'll move in later." Although the triplets live separately, but the yards of the third brother are next to each other, and they can be heard when they yell loudly on weekdays.

Seeing Brother Rui's look of being unable to lift his spirits, Brother Yu said: "Second Brother, let's go to the school training ground to practice archery. As long as you have learned martial arts well, Mother will not stop you from going to the battlefield with Dad. "Today is a rest day, so they can be so leisurely. Normally, if you go to class early, there is no time to complain here.

Brother Xuan said eagerly, "Second brother, Ayou, can I not go?" After a holiday, he still wanted to practice the new tunes he had learned, but he didn't want to go to the school practice field at all!

Brother Rui and Brother Yu said in unison: "No." No matter what they do, they have to bring Brother Xuan with them, which is already a custom. As for Brother Xuan's use of his free time to learn temperament, they will not get involved in this matter.

Brother Xuan had a bitter look on his face.

Hearing that the triplets had gone to the training ground, Yuxi smiled and said to Xu Wu: "I thought Ah Rui would be in a mood for a few more days?" Knowing that Qihao would go to Yucheng with Yunqing, Brother Rui My son yelled that he wanted to go with him, but after being rejected, he lost his temper.

Xu Wudao: "Second young master must want to practice martial arts well, so that the princess won't stop him next time."

After talking a few words about the children, Xu Wu said: "Princess, is the lord planning to use troops against Beiyao?" Yun Qing was going to wait for him to return from the border town before announcing that he was planning to lead troops to attack Beiyao.

Yuxi nodded and said: "You also know that the prince's greatest wish is to destroy Beiyao. It just so happens that he got the treasure of the Wu family this time, so he doesn't want to wait any longer."

Xu Wu was silent for a while and said: "Princess, next year the prince will attack Beiyao, and I want to follow." Before Yuxi could ask, Xu Wu said: "So many of my brothers died at the hands of Beiyao people, I want to fight for them." Revenge." Huo Changqing adopted more than 20 children back then, and half of them died at the hands of the captors. They must pay for this blood debt.

Yu Xi didn't object, but just asked: "Do you have a candidate to replace you in your mind?" Xu Daniu was a little reckless, and it was okay to be the second in command, but Yu Xi was worried about being the first in command.

Xu Wu said: "My subordinates feel that Gu Ge can take my place temporarily." Gu Ge was trained by Xu Wu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his apprentice.

Yuxi heard Xu Wu's implication: "You mean to leave temporarily? Will you come back after the battle?" Seeing Xu Wu nodding, Yuxi asked with a smile: "Why don't you stay in the barracks? In that case you The promotion is also fast, and when the world is settled down in the future, I will be able to give you better rewards when you have military merits." Although Yu Xi was a little unhappy because of Yu Cong's incident before, after all, they have been together for more than ten years, and their relationship is still very deep . Otherwise, Yuxi would not have said these heartfelt words.

Xu Wu said with a smile: "Princess, I think it's pretty good now." Why he insisted on staying in the palace, this matter only he himself knows.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position. Xu Wu is not a person who is afraid of death, so Yuxi doesn't quite understand why he has been reluctant to develop in the army and insists on hiding in the palace.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Since you think Gu Ge is good, then let Gu Ge take your place temporarily. But as a deputy, you need to add Viola." Gu Ge also stayed in the palace for almost ten years, absolutely loyal. But just to be careful, Yuxi is going to keep Zijin in the mansion, which will make her feel more at ease.

Xu Wu naturally has no objection.

Xu Daniu raised his voice and reported back: "Princess, Guizhou has a letter delivered." Now Guan Tai is handling the follow-up matters in Guizhou, and the governor is sent by Yuxi.

After reading the letter, Yuxi's expression was a little ugly.

Xu Wu asked: "Princess, what's the matter? Did something happen to the princess?" It is impossible to change Yuxi's face in Guizhou, except Zao Zao.

Yu Xi put down the letter and said: "The girl was injured again, but luckily her life is not in danger."

Xu Wu said: "Princess, how can you not be injured in this battle?" Bandit suppression is also very dangerous, and encountering those vicious bandits will also be life-threatening.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "How can I not know about this. But every time I hear that she is injured, I feel..." How can a mother feel better when she hears that her daughter is injured.

After a pause, Yu Xi said: "Forget it, this girl is here to collect debts. Since she was a child, she has never made people feel at ease."

Xu Wu laughed when he heard this. In fact, the princess is like this, because the prince and the princess favored her.

The harvest in Jiangnan was very good this year, and the government bought it at a reasonable price, and there was no such thing as a bumper harvest. After the grain was harvested, it was continuously transported to the city of Hao. Such a big move naturally aroused people's speculation.

In the evening of this day, Han Jianming accompanied Qiu Shi for a walk in the yard after dinner. Qiu Shi asked: "Ming'er, I heard that a lot of grain has been transported to the city of pickaxe recently? Could it be that the harvest in the city of pickaxe is not good this year?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No, the prince is planning to use troops against the northern captives." It is thousands of miles from Jiangnan to Yucheng and Xihai. With such a long journey, it is natural to prepare early.

Qiu frowned and said, "Why are we going to fight again?" Fighting means death. The Qiu family is a Buddhist believer, and he dislikes killing evil the most.

Han Jianming said: "Although the Beiyao people have not sent troops on a large scale in the past two years, they have always harassed the people in the border towns, killing hundreds of thousands of people every year. The prince sent troops to completely solve the troubles of the Beiyao people." .”

Qiu was silent, and after a while he said: "When is the prince going to send troops?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "This matter hasn't been announced to the public yet, and I don't know the details, but I guess it should be the beginning of spring next year!"

Qiu said: "If there is a war, wouldn't Qiqi's marriage be impossible? Qiqi will be nineteen next year, and if it drags on, she will be twenty." If you don't get married at twenty, you'll be an old lady. If you are in the capital, you will be laughed at.

Han Jianming said: "Zhi Ao is two years younger than Qi Qi, it doesn't matter if they get married for a year or so at night." They are both engaged, and the Feng family will not regret their marriage, so it doesn't matter if they get married for a year or two at night.

Qiu Shi said: "Why don't we get married at the end of this year?" The sooner we get married, the sooner we can feel at ease.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No. If it is held this year, General Feng will not be able to rush back to attend the wedding. This is not a good thing for Qiqi." There will be a war next year, and there will be a lot of preparations, so both Feng Dajun and him will be very busy Can't get away. Getting married in this situation is a bit hasty.

Qiu sighed angrily and said, "What about Brother Chang? Brother Chang will be seventeen this year, so we can't wait any longer."

Han Jianming said: "This son knows what he knows, mother, don't worry about it."

Qiu said: "Hurry up and marry me a daughter-in-law and come back. If there is someone who wants to raise a child, I won't worry about it." This is urging Han Jianming to continue.

Han Jiaming doesn't object to marrying again, but now is really not the time: "Mother, now is not the time to talk about this. Mother, after the war in Beiyao is over, I will definitely marry you a daughter-in-law." The wife still wants to marry, Otherwise, many things will be inconvenient.

Qiu Shi was very satisfied with Han Jianming's answer, but then said with regret: "It's a pity that Yuxi is not here, if she is, she can take care of you."

Han Jianming said with a smile, "I'm the one who married the wife, what should Yuxi do?" It would be a joke for outsiders to hear it.

Qiu Shi didn't think too much about it: "Your siblings were picked by Yu Xi, and the housekeeper took care of the children properly." As for Ye Shi, everyone is gone, so there's no need to say anything wrong with her.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "Yuxi has always had a good eye." At the beginning, he was somewhat repelled by this marriage, after all, Lu Xiu was originally his brother-in-law's fiancee. It was also because Qiu Shi liked it that he didn't object. Facts have proved that Yuxi's vision is much better than that of her grandmother.

Accompanying Qiu Shi around the garden and sending her back to the yard, Han Jianming returned to the front yard.

Han Gao handed a letter to Han Jianming and said, "My lord, a letter from the princess." Letters from the two brothers and sisters are still very frequent, and the letters are about business and private matters.

Han Jianming smiled after reading the letter, and said to Han Gao: "The prince is indeed planning to send troops to the north in the spring of next year." It was as he expected.

Han Gao asked: "My lord, what is the reason for this letter from the princess?" Before it was to prepare food and grass, this time there must be other requests.

Han Jianming said: "Cloth, medicinal materials and other strategic materials." This is preparing for the war.

Not only Han Jianming, but also Liu Biyuan and others received this order. The main reason for the big fight this time is that Yucheng is too remote, and the transportation of materials takes too long for the long distance, so preparations must be made in advance.

This matter spread to the capital after a few days. Meng Nian said to Yan Wushuang: "Your Majesty, Yun Qing really wants to use troops against the Bei captives."

Yan Wushuang had guessed a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He asked another matter: "How is Black Eagle?" Since Black Eagle's rebellion, he brought people from the imperial court to frantically hunt down the Northwest intelligence personnel in Beijing. It is also because of this that Falcon has been hiding and dare not show up.

The day before yesterday, Black Eagle got hold of Falcon's hiding place and took people to catch it, but he didn't expect that it was a trap carefully laid by Falcon. Not only did Black Eagle not catch anyone, but he was seriously injured and is still in a coma.

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "The doctor said he was not very optimistic. If he didn't wake up, he might never wake up again." Because Yan Wushuang had promised Black Eagle that as long as he caught Falcon, he would be anonymous. Hei Ying is very afraid of being retaliated, and wants to get rid of this kind of life on the verge of death as soon as possible, so he especially wants to get rid of Falcon as soon as possible. It is precisely this kind of mentality that Falcon took the opportunity.

Yan Wushuang said, "Let's do our best to rescue them!"

It's a pity that Black Hawk was injured too badly, and died in the end. Meng Nian prepared a good coffin and secretly buried him in a beautiful place, but he dared not erect a monument. Once found, there might be no bones left of the black eagle.

In order to get rid of the traitor Black Hawk, Falcon used himself as a bait. It was also because of this that Black Hawk took the bait. However, although Falcon was not in danger, he was also injured.

While changing Falcon's medicine, Chiying said bitterly: "This bastard, when the future falls into my hands, I will pull his tendons, peel his skin and drink his blood."

Falcon said: "Hei Ying took an arrow from me, there is no way he is still alive." The arrow was poisoned, unless the other party has a detox expert, otherwise Black Eagle will undoubtedly die.

Chi Ying put down the medicine bottle and said, "It's cheaper for him." Because of Black Eagle's mutiny, nearly a hundred of them died.

Falcon shook his head and said: "It was also my carelessness. I haven't found out that he has betrayed for so long." He also brought out Black Eagle, but in the end he took refuge in Yan Wushuang, which was no less than a slap in the face. .

Chi Ying disagreed: "What does this have to do with you? He is afraid of death." Hei Ying was secretly captured by Meng Nian, and he was afraid of death, so he rebelled.

Falcon said: "Not everyone can endure the torture like Fengying." If he couldn't bear it, he rebelled. Survive the past, but have a way out.

Chi Ying said: "Boss, more than 300 people in Jiding Mountain were killed by Tie Kui. Boss, that Tie Kui is Yan Wushuang's most loyal eagle dog. Should we send someone to kill him and avenge those refugees? .”

With the matter of the Black Widow in mind, Falcon no longer dares to tell others about Tie Kui's true identity: "We've been doing too much during this time, so we shouldn't act rashly for now!"

Chi Ying was a little afraid, but he was not as bold as the Black Widow: "Then let him live for two more years." When the prince calls, he will avenge those refugees. (to be continued)
