Chapter 986

Tie Kui talked with Xiao Shi for a while, and then went back to the front yard. Since the injury, Tie Kui has basically lived in the front yard.

Granny Dou said to Xiao with tears in her eyes: "Ma'am, the master is too biased, Mr. Lu made you..." Granny Dou didn't dare to say what happened next.

Xiao's heart was startled: "What's wrong with me?" Seeing that Mrs. Dou dared not speak, Xiao's face turned pale. After a while, Xiao asked: "Did the doctor say how much time I have left?" She hasn't even seen her son yet, so how could she be willing to die.

Seeing Xiao's misunderstanding, Mrs. Dou said with red eyes, "Ma'am, the doctor said that you will not be able to have children in the future." Xiao is thirty years old this year, eleven years younger than Tie Kui. At this age, it is still possible to have children. Mrs. Dou also hoped that Xiao could give birth to a son, so that she would have no worries.

Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "What else should I do? How can I have a child at such an advanced age." She never thought about having another one. Giving birth at such an old age, if you are not careful, you will have dystocia. She regrets her life very much now, where would she take risks.

Mrs. Dou wiped away her tears and said: "Madam, there is no concubine, you will have to watch the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master live in the future." The young master is in charge. Aunt Lu is the biological mother of the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master, and Aunt Lu is so vicious, when the Eldest Young Master is in charge, there will be no place for the wife in the iron mansion.

Xiao Shi smiled and said: "I don't know what the situation will be like now, and I don't know what it will be like in the future." These are just Xiao Shi's words. Her Ah Zhan is the legitimate son, and it must be her Ah Zhan who will inherit the family business in the future. As for Fang Hui and Fang Jia, they will be separated when they get married. Aunt Lu is willing to go out with her son too! If you don't want to, just stay in the mansion.

Seeing this, Mrs. Dou didn't say any more.

In the evening, Zhong Shantong received a letter from Tong Chrome, which was all about business matters and there was nothing wrong with it. It's just that there is an extra circle at the end of the letter. This is the agreement made by Falcon and Tie Kui. The circled letter was delivered to Tiefu, indicating that Falcon would come at night. In recent years, such letters have only appeared three times, and Yan Wushuang's people did not find out because of the small number of times.

On this day and night, Falcon appeared in Tiefu's house. Tie Kui looked at the masked Falcon and asked, "But what's the matter?" No big deal, Falcon would definitely not show up here.

Falcon hummed and said: "Princess Wang asked me to tell you that the prince has decided to send troops to attack the capital next year."

Tie Kui was very excited: "Really? The prince will send troops next year?" He thought he would have to wait another two or three years.

"You heard me right, the lord has decided to send troops in the spring. This matter is confidential, and no more than ten people know about it." Tie Kui's identity is too special, so he told him.

Tie Kui made sure he heard correctly, and said three good words in a row. After calming down, Tie Kui asked, "What do the lord and the princess want me to do?"

Falcon didn't talk nonsense: "You have to get better before the prince sends troops, so that you can continue to lead the troops." Only when Tie Kui leads the troops can he play his role.

Tie Kui nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely get better before the year. Yan Wu has no generals to lead the army. As long as I get better, he will let me lead the army." Why did the doctor Zhang come so frequently? It is because Yan Wushuang hopes that he will recover as soon as possible.

After hesitating for a while, Tie Kui said again: "However, whether to guard the capital or not is uncertain."

Falcon said: "Take care of your body first, and then plan the rest after you take over the military power." Now the situation is gradually becoming clear, and some officials in the court have secretly taken refuge in them. But they will only accept what is useful to them.

Tie Kui nodded.

He took a letter out of his hand,

Falcon handed it to Tie Kui: "The princess asked me to hand it over to you." As for what was written in the letter, he didn't know, as long as Yuxi's letter was not for him, he never opened it.

Falcon told Tie Kui about the recent situation in the court, and said after finishing speaking: "When you take over the military power, Yan Wushuang will definitely keep an eye on Yan Wushuang. You." The person under Yan Wu's hands is not a vegetarian either, if he comes to Iron Mansion too often, he will definitely be noticed. To be on the safe side, he won't come here anymore.

"That's fine too." As long as Yunqing leads troops into the capital, he can live a comfortable life. He doesn't want to have an accident at this time.

After finishing speaking, Falcon went out.

Zhong Shantong heard that there was no movement inside, and waited for a while before entering the room.

Seeing Tie Kui's excited face, Zhong Shantong lowered his voice and asked, "Master, what did Falcon say that made you so happy?" Because there were too many things in his heart, Tie Kui seldom showed his emotions.

Tie Kui said excitedly: "A Tong, just now Falcon said that the lord is going to send troops to attack the capital next year." After more than ten years of anticipation, it finally came, how could Tie Kui not be excited.

Zhong Shantong couldn't believe it when he heard this: "Really?" Seeing Tie Kui nodding, Zhong Shantong wept with joy: "Master, we have finally arrived." Ten years is really not easy.

Tie Kui's inner quality is still very strong, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "The more this is the case, the more we must hold our breath." The darkness before dawn is the most dangerous.

Zhong Shantong regained his composure, wiped his tears and nodded, "Don't worry, master, I know." You can't fail at the last moment. They were completely relieved when King Ming entered the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhong Shantong was a little worried, and said, "Master, will Yan Wushuang let us stay in the capital?" If they were allowed to retreat to Liaodong, they would be happy in vain.

Tie Kui said without even thinking: "When King Ming calls, I believe no one will stay in the capital." Yunqing's reputation as a victorious general is not a bluff, and if he and Yunqing were opponents, he would not want to fight Yunqing. So staying in the capital is tantamount to being cannon fodder, and no one wants to be this cannon fodder.

Zhong Shantong also thought more about this meeting: "If the master takes the initiative to invite you, Yan Wushuang will definitely doubt you." Yan Wushuang's suspicion made them suffer a lot.

Tie Kui smiled and said, "I definitely can't take the initiative to ask for a job." Staying in the capital means he will die. Under such circumstances, taking the initiative to ask for a job is not suspicious, and he would not do such a stupid thing.

But thinking about what Yan Wushuang had asked him to do over the years, he felt that if he could lead troops, Yan Wushuang would most likely let him stay in the capital. Because of the people he killed in these years, Yan Wushuang must think that King Ming would not tolerate him. However, this matter has to be planned slowly.

The two talked for a while, and Tie Kui said: "It's getting late too, I should rest." From now on, he has to cooperate with Imperial Physician Zhang, and he must take good care of his body before next spring.

This day, Tie Kui had a particularly peaceful sleep. The next day, it was three poles in the sun before waking up.

After breakfast, Tie Kui went to visit Xiao Shi. In fact, Xiao's is not seriously injured, but needs to be recuperated for a while.

After so many years of husband and wife, even though Tie Kui didn't smile, Xiao could still see that he was in a good mood: "Master, what's the happy event?"

Tie Kui waved his hand to make everyone else in the room retreat, and then took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is written by Ah Zhan, take a look." As for the letter Yu Xi wrote to him, he had already burned it. Ning Zhan's letter will be burned when Xiao Shi reads it.

Xiao asked incredulously, "Is this a letter from Ah Zhan?" Jian Tiekui nodded with a smile, and Xiao froze.

The letter seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and Xiao Shi shook his hand as he shook it. After finally opening the letter, looking at the father and mother written at the beginning, Xiao's tears fell, and he couldn't stop it.

Tie Kui shook her hand and said, "Don't be sad, our Ah Zhan is doing well now." After speaking, he pointed to the channel: "You can see how well his handwriting is, neat and tidy."

Xiao Shi nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, it's really well written." In fact, she didn't read the words carefully at all.

After crying for a long time, Xiao finally calmed down. After reading the letter, Xiao's tears came again: "Master, tell me, where is Ah Zhan now?"

Tie Kui hesitated.

Xiao wiped away her tears and said, "Master, Ah Zhan is my son, will I still harm him?" Even if she died, she would not do anything against her son.

Tie Kui thought about the hardships that the Xiao family had suffered in these years, and finally decided to tell him: "Ah Zhan is now in the Ming Palace. He is the illegitimate son of the Han family, and he goes to the Ming Palace to accompany the fourth young master." Tie Kui is very grateful for doing it. He began to think that Yuxi asked Ning Zhan to come into the mansion as a servant. This boy is not treated the same as his companion. Even if he knows that even if he is a servant, Yuxi will not treat her son badly.

The Xiao family knew that Tie Kui was a descendant of Yu Xi's ancestral Ning family, so it was not surprising that Tie Kui would have a connection with Yu Xi. But what she didn't know was that Tie Kui actually sent her son to the northwest. Xiao asked, "When did Ah Zhan arrive in the Northwest?" He didn't say that he was sent to the Northwest, only that he was placed in a safe place.

Tie Kui said with a smile: "I just entered Ming Palace at the beginning of this year, but Ah Zhan has adapted very well in the Palace."

Xiao expressed doubts about this: "Ah Zhan entered the palace of the Ming Dynasty as an illegitimate child, how can he do well in the palace?" Bastards will be discriminated against wherever they go.

"The fourth young master is very protective of our family Ah Zhan, so no one in the palace dares to ridicule Ah Zhan. In addition, Ah Zhan knows his identity, so it is not affected." Just look at the letter Ah Zhan wrote to him. The child was unaffected.

Xiao Shi asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Tie Kui smiled and said, "Why am I lying to you? Besides, you can tell from Ah Zhan's letter that the child is doing well." In his letter, Ah Zhan would talk about his studies and progress in martial arts, and occasionally I will talk about Brother Yu. This time, in the letter, he specifically mentioned that Brother You brought him many gifts from Jiangnan. But the letter didn't mention the name, only the young master.

Xiao was silent for a while, and asked, "Why did you let Ah Zhan enter the palace as the illegitimate child of the Han family?" Any identity is better than an illegitimate child!

Tie Kui smiled bitterly and said, "Ah Zhan looks a bit like a princess. Entering the palace as an illegitimate child of the Han family is the least suspicious."

Xiao Shi understood that the princess was also doing this to protect her husband. Xiao said distressedly: "Master, you have worked hard these years." I don't know how hard it is to hide such a thing and not be able to tell others. Thinking that she had resented Tie Kui before, Xiao couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Tie Kui shook his head and said: "As long as I can recover my identity, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." After finishing speaking, Tie Kui sighed and said, "It's also a trick of good fortune. If it wasn't for the princess, I would have recovered my true identity after entering Beijing." But because of Yuxi, in order not to arouse Yan Wushuang's suspicion, he can only continue to conceal his identity.

Xiao Shi is not stupid either, there must be a reason why Tie Kui confessed to her this time: "Master, what do you want me to do?" It was because she had resentment in her heart, so she didn't want to spend time on Tie Kui. It's different now, even for the sake of her son, she has to protect her husband.

Tie Kui said: "My lord is going to send troops to attack the capital next year. If there is a war, Yan Wushuang will definitely send his family to Liaodong first."

How could Mrs. Xiao want to go to Liaodong, and immediately asked: "Master, what do you want me to do?" Hearing that Tie Kui asked her to pretend to be sick, Mrs. Xiao nodded and agreed, but quickly asked worriedly: "Master, what do you want me to do?" what would you do?"

"Me? I must recover as soon as possible, and then lead the army again. Only in this way can I help the prince." He can only have a place in the new dynasty after he has made military achievements.

Xiao was very worried: "Master, if you help King Ming occupy the capital, Yan Wushuang will definitely not be able to get around you." Yan Wushuang kills people without blinking an eye, and is narrow-minded, otherwise her husband would not have been so cautious all these years. .

Tie Kui really didn't think so far: "I will think about it carefully." For the sake of his wife and children, he can't be busy. And seeing that Ming Wang and Ming Wang Concubine are about to win the world, he can also enjoy the blessings. It's not worth dying at this time.

After a few days, Yuxi received a reply from Falcon. After reading the reply, Yuxi fell into silence.

Yun Qing happened to be in the study at this time, and asked, "What happened in the capital that made you so worried?"

Yuxi put down the letter and said: "Uncle said that he was worried that Yan Wushuang would retaliate against him when we took the capital." After finishing speaking, Yuxi sighed and said: "Uncle these years have not been easy, I don't want him to be killed after this is done. Yan Wushuang has been killed." As long as Tie Kui can hold back, nothing will happen to him before Yun Qing invades the capital. But after things are done, it may not be.

This matter is really difficult.

Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "If uncle just surrendered due to the situation, Yan Wushuang might not attack him. But if Yan Wushuang knows the real identity of uncle, he will definitely not let uncle go with his character. "

Yun Qing heard the implication: "You mean that uncle's identity cannot be announced before Liaodong is recovered?"

Yun Qing nodded and said: "Yan Wushuang is the one who holds grudges the most. If he finds out that uncle is a cheetah, I'm afraid not only uncle, but also aunt and a few children will die." By then, the Ning family may really be gone.

Yu Xi rubbed her hands together, and said after a while, "That's all we can do for now." Yan Wushuang is the most naughty person, so it's better to be careful. (to be continued)
