Xu Wu was silent, and the room suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Xu Wu spoke: "The princess used to be such a kind person, but now she has become so terrifying. Father-in-law, I'm really worried about ......"

Huo Changqing understood what Xu Wu meant, he was worried that Han Yuxi would become a person like Wu Zong, and he could even poison his own flesh and blood for the sake of power: "What you are worried about will never happen." ”

Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Father-in-law, the world is unpredictable. "Who would have imagined that the princess who had the heart of a bodhisattva back then would now be able to use those homeless people to achieve her own goals.

In fact, Xu Wu intellectually knew that Yuxi was not wrong, but emotionally he just couldn't accept it. Every time I see Ok-hee, this thought comes to mind.

Seeing Huo Changqing looking at him, Xu Wu stubbornly said, "It's really too late when the day comes." ”

"Then what do you want? Let Zao Zao's mother hand over power and return to the backyard?"

Xu Wu knew very well that if Yuxi handed over power, Yunqing would not agree in the first place.

After a long time, Xu Wu said: "Father-in-law, I know that I may be thinking too much, but I just can't control it. I'm even worried that Yu Cong's words will come true. He didn't believe Yu Cong's words before he died, but after the disaster victims, he began to worry.

Huo Changqing didn't know what to say, and after making trouble for a long time, it turned out that he was influenced by Yu Cong. After thinking for a while, Huo Changqing spoke: "Don't forget that the military power is in the hands of Yunqing. Although Zao Zao's mother is majestic, if she doesn't have Yunqing behind her back, she can't control the overall situation. With Yunqing here, what you feared won't happen at all. ”

After a pause, Huo Changqing said again: "Zao Zao's mother once told Yunqing that when Ah Hao can stand alone, she will abdicate and let Xian live a relaxed life for two days. Yunqing is in good health, and it will be no problem to live for another twenty years. With Ah Hao's qualifications, it only takes ten years at most to be able to take charge on his own. ”

Xu Wu didn't know about this: "Father-in-law, did the prince tell you about this matter himself?"

"Well, it was Yunqing himself. If you don't believe in Zao Zao, you should also believe in Yunqing. This is also the reason why Huo Changqing is so relieved.

Xu Wu's heart that had been hanging finally let go.

Huo Changqing said: "Since Zao Zao's mother is willing to let you be the leader of the forbidden army, this is also an opportunity, you can't stay in the palace for the rest of your life." "The army and Cui Mo are the generals of the second rank with heavy troops, and Xu Wu is only from the third rank now, far behind them. I don't think there's anything now, and when the world is pacified, the gap will be revealed.

Xu Wu didn't refuse: "Okay." "The princess saw through his mind and became suspicious, and it was not wise to stay in the palace any longer.

Xu Wu has been engaged in intelligence for so many years, and it is still difficult for him to find people. In two days, he found the three assassins who assassinated Fu Minglang.

What people didn't expect was that these three people were hiding in the secret cellar of the second master of the Hu family.

Yuxi asked, "Shouldn't the Hu family?" If the Hu family was Yan Wushuang's person, the donation that day would not be so bold. "The most important thing is that the Hu family has always done good, and they shouldn't be in cahoots with Yan Wushuang.

Xu Wu said respectfully: "The eldest master of the Hu family didn't know about this, it was done by the second master Hu. Second Master Hu was poisoned, and he harbored these assassins in order to survive. ”

As soon as Yuxi heard it, he knew that this Second Master Hu was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, it would be impossible to harbor these assassins. Because harboring felons will be guilty of the crime and the family and the family. This is also why those people don't poison the eldest master of the Hu family, because only those who are afraid of death will be reckless about the consequences.

Xu Wu said: "This second master Hu eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does everything, but he doesn't do business. But the old lady of the Hu family doted on this little son and followed him in everything. Over the years, the second master Hu has made a lot of trouble outside, and the eldest master of the Hu family has helped him solve it. ”

Yuxi sneered and said, "Old Lady Hu will die without turning a blind eye." "Second Master Hu's behavior has already affected the entire family.

Xu Wu hesitated, but still said: "Princess, the eldest master of the Hu family has vigorously assisted our army before, and this time he has enthusiastically donated. Princess, see if you can open the net. "The Hu family has done so many things for them, and now they have killed all the people of the Hu family because of the misbehavior of the second master of the Hu family, which will inevitably make people feel cold.

If it was before, Yuxi wouldn't think much about it. But now Xu Wu thinks she is ruthless, and now saying this makes Yuxi very uncomfortable. Yuxi glanced at Xu Wu and said coldly, "Are you teaching me to do things?"

That look seemed to be able to see through him. Xu Wu's heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's the minister who has overstepped." ”

Yuxi softened his expression and said, "Xu Wu, if people can't see their position clearly, it will be easy to go the wrong way, and Yu Cong is the best example. I hope you will take this as a warning and stop following his old ways. "This is already Chi Guoguo warning Xu Wu. But to be able to say this is also based on years of love. Otherwise, even if you don't deal with it, you will be far away, and out of sight is clean, unlike now, it gives Xu Wu a good place to go.

Xu Wu has also known her a little bit after following Yuxi for so many years, and his warning shows that he has reached the extreme. If he does anything more than transgress, he will no longer be merciful.

All these years of experience are not in vain, Xu Wu knelt on the ground and raised his head and said: "Don't worry, the princess, the ministers will not make Yu Cong's mistakes." ”

In fact, with Huo Changqing watching, it is impossible for Xu Wu to follow Yu Cong's old path. However, Yuxi still said one more thing: "Think more about your wife and children, once you have a bad pool, who do you want them to point to?"

Thinking of his wife and children, Xu Wu's heart sank. After a while, Xu Wu lowered his head and said, "Princess, the minister is guilty." ”

Yuxi didn't want to say more: "Don't mention the past, and be on an errand in the future." Everyone has their own standards of behavior, and Xu Wu doesn't agree with her approach, and she is not reluctant.

On this day, the Hu family was raided. Between what Master Hu did before, Yuxi left him a pharmacy, and the people in the big house were not punished. As for the second room, it is naturally disposed of according to the law.

For this result, the eldest master of the Hu family can only be happy, and dare not have any complaints and dissatisfaction. You must know that these assassins assassinated important officials of the imperial court, and if they were dealt with according to the law, even if they were not beheaded, they would have to be exiled for thousands of miles. Now it's just that the family wealth is confiscated, but the family is safe, and he is already very lucky. In addition, there is a pharmacy, which is well managed, and the family does not have to worry about food and clothing. At this time, the benefits of the Hu family's insistence on doing good deeds were revealed. Even if the Hu family committed an accident, the doctor and the guy in the pharmacy were not afraid of being involved and left.

At this point, Mrs. Hu still forced Mr. Hu to save her youngest son.

Except for Master Hu, everyone else in the big house hated Second Master Hu to death, if it weren't for this harmful spirit, why would they have come to this point. Now the old lady still wants them to save this evil spirit, how willing. However, Baishan filial piety comes first, and he doesn't dare to say ugly words, and a cadre of the big house knelt in front of Mrs. Hu's bed, begging her to leave a way for everyone to live. But that's it, Mrs. Hu still insisted that Mr. Hu go to save people.

Facing the stubborn Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Hu finally became angry, and bluntly said that if it weren't for her blind connivance, Second Master Hu would not have fallen to the point where he was going to be beheaded to show the public. In short, Second Master Hu committed a big crime this time and lost his life, and it was all caused by Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu's accusation made Mrs. Hu so angry that she had a stroke, and then she couldn't say anything. At this point, the Hu family's big house finally calmed down.

Meng Nian sent more than a dozen assassins to the northwest, but the three who were captured could not leave the city because they showed up, and the others left the northwest with the help of Master Hu. Because of a delay of a few days, I couldn't catch up.

As soon as the assassin's matter was settled, Xu Wu took office. It was not Xu Da Niu who took over, but Si Bonian. It's not that Xu Daniu is not capable enough, but he is very impulsive and likes to drink, such a person Yuxi is not at ease. Xu Daniu also knew his shortcomings, and he knew that Si Bonian was better than him, so he didn't have any dissatisfaction.

It's rare to have a free day, Yuxi said with a smile: "I've been busy a few days ago, and I don't have time to look at the things you picked." I happen to be free today, so let's go and have a look. ”

Zao Zao said that he was not interested and did not want to go.

Yuxi scolded with a smile: "This is for you, who will you let if you don't go?" Yunqing and Brother Hao'er didn't want to go, but they had to go.

Jujube has a bitter face.

Walking into the house, Zao Zao was blinded by the jewels placed on the table. The box contains a variety of jewels such as rubies, sapphires, and opals. The smallest of these gems is the size of a peanut.

Liu Er smiled and asked, "Sister, see if you like it or not?"

Zao Zao frowned and said, "These things add up to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right?" Each gem was filled with a box, and these things must be worth hundreds of thousands of silver together.

Yuxi smiled and said, "These are all the trophies captured by your father, so you don't need to spend extra money to buy them." "In fact, many of the things here can't be bought with money, especially the emeralds, which are hard to find.

Hearing this, Zao Zao had another worry: "Mother, give it all to me, what will Liu Er do then?" But Liu'er is different, if she doesn't have a rich dowry, she can't do it.

When Liu Er heard this, she hugged Zaoju's arm and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, don't worry, there are still a lot of good things in the mother's treasury, and I won't miss my share." "The girl likes everything that Liu Er likes, such as beautiful jewelry, clothes, and all kinds of fine embroidery. Relatively speaking, she is not interested in calligraphy, painting and antiques.

Zao Zao didn't believe this, and said: "Pick out so much, how many can there be in the warehouse?"

Liu Er doesn't want it.

Yuxi smiled and said: "In two years, your father will lead troops to attack the capital, and when you take the capital, will there be anything good?" "In fact, there are a lot of good things in the warehouse, which is more than enough for Liu'er, and I don't want to listen to the nagging of jujube dates anymore.

Zao Zao's eyes lit up suddenly: "Mother, do you mean that we will attack the capital the year after tomorrow?"

Yuxi said that two years is just a general statement: "I just finished the war, so I have to recuperate for three years to get it." "This time the Northern Raid not only used up the 10 million silver offered by the Wu family, but also filled in the little silver that had been saved in the past two years, and now it is really poor and white. How to send troops to fight the capital in this situation.

"Liu Er is now fifteen years old, and she will be eighteen years old in three years. When the time comes, you have to prepare a dowry or something, so wouldn't Liu Er have to be twenty years old to get married?"

A flush appeared on Liu Er's face, and her hand unconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes. The eldest sister is really, how can she talk about getting married!

"You will be seventeen after the New Year, are you going to marry next year?" Yuxi is ready to wait for the jujube to be eighteen years old before marrying, and Liu Er is the same.

Zao Zao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Mother, I will wait until I get married after I go to the capital." ”

This is not inconsistent. After conquering the capital, she would have to be in her twenties.

Liu Er wasn't worried about not being able to get married, but she couldn't help but interject: "Eldest sister, you will be twenty years old in three years." Aren't you afraid that the second young master of the Wu family will dislike you when the time comes?"

"Don't worry about this, Jin Yu will definitely do what I want. Seeing Yuxi looking at her with a smile, Zao Zao hurriedly said: "Mother, didn't you say before that women should not marry too early? ”

Yuxi didn't say this, she just said that it is not good for a woman to have a child too early. However, she didn't bother to argue with Zao Zao: "As long as the Wu family has no opinion, I will follow your will." "It's too late for her daughter to stay for two more years, so how can she object.

"I'm relieved. She was still afraid that Yuxi would object, and she had been thinking about how to open this mouth. Now it's okay, the problem is solved: "Liu'er, I don't know what you like? Tell my sister, and my sister can help you pay attention." ”

Liu Er was a little annoyed: "Sister, what do you say?" Even if you want to say it, you have to say it in private, how can you say it in front of a room of maids!

Zao Zao didn't think there was anything, the man should marry the woman when she got married, what was there to be embarrassed about. And it is a matter of lifelong happiness, so we should be more cautious.

Yuxi saw that Zao Zao was going to talk again, coughed and said, "Okay, I've seen everything, if you don't have any opinions, let's go back!"

Zao Zao naturally has no opinion: "Mother, you can decide on the dowry, don't ask me again." ”

The person concerned didn't care about the dowry, but Liu Er asked with great concern: "Mother, has the furniture been ready, when will it be delivered?"

"It's not good yet, and it won't be completed until next summer at the earliest. "Anyway, jujube jujube is not so fast to get married, and it will be done later, slow work and careful work!

Zao Zao felt that it was a waste: "Mother, the freight of transporting these furniture from Jiangnan to Hocheng is not a small amount." ”

Liu Er was speechless.

At this time, Meilan came in and walked up to Yuxi's side and whispered, "Princess, Lord Yu said that there is something important to come back." "Since Yu Zhi said something important, he can't delay.

When Yuxi heard this, he hurried to the front yard.
