On the evening of April 20, after Jing Xuan returned from Xiao's house, Xiao Nan said to Jiang Jingxuan with some uneasiness: "Jing Xuan, you said that Xiao Zhen is in the capital, will he encounter any trouble?" With Zhao Zhen's feelings for the Xiao family, if he could go away, it would be impossible for him not to rush over to attend the celebration banquet of Xiao Huaiyu and Zixiu.

"After all, he is the prince, and he is no more casual than us ordinary people, maybe he was stumped by something, you, don't worry." Jiang Jingxuan paused slightly when he heard this, and Wen Yan comforted him.

Xiao Nan didn't say anything more, but his heart was stained with a shadow, Jiang Ge Lao suddenly made a move, let Zi Xiu be acquitted, from the perspective of Zhenzong, it was a slap in the face to him, and Zi Xiu and Zhao Zhen The relationship is extraordinary, in the eyes of the emperor, Xiao Zixiu is Zhao Zhen's maiden family, is his direct force, the more the Xiao family grows, the greater Zhao Zhen's power becomes, and Jiang Ge Lao stands up to Zi Xiu openly at this time......

However, Xiao Nan's concerns did not last long, but was interrupted by a sudden occurrence, affecting the whole country and a major event, the first day of the fifth month of the third year of Tianxi (AD 1021), on the fifth day of the end of the flowing water banquet of Xiao Huaiyu and Zixiu's uncle and nephew, an urgent edict came to Sangyu Village, and the person who passed the edict was not an internal servant, but an edict official of the military department.

After the edict came to Xiao's house, he immediately took out the holy edict and read: "Eliao suddenly united with more than a dozen minority clans such as the party item, gathered 500,000 iron horsemen, and launched a fierce attack on the land of my Yanyun. (Note, Zhiying doesn't know how the holy decree of the Song Dynasty was written, but can only express the general meaning of the written text, please don't use the real holy decree as a reference.) ）

"When did this happen?" Zixiu and Li Sanlang were taken aback when they heard this, and after they received the holy decree, they subconsciously asked.

"Three days ago, the matter was urgent, and there was no time to greet each other, two adults, pack up and follow me into Beijing immediately." Seeing the two asking, they replied casually, and at the end, they didn't forget to remind them to hurry up and prepare to go, this kind of holy decree cannot be delayed for a moment.

Zixiu and Li Sanlang took a slight breath, didn't ask any more, turned back to the house to pack up their salutes, they were shocked when they suddenly heard the news, followed by an indescribable anger, Song Dynasty has developed extremely rapidly over the years, not only the treasury is abundant, the soldiers are strong, the people also live and work in peace and contentment, the politics and law are clear, and the people of the country have a great sense of belonging and glory to the country, the Liao people suddenly launched an attack on the Great Song Dynasty at this time, even if the ordinary people know, they will be extremely angry, Not to mention promising young people like Zixiu and Li Sanlang.

When the Lin family heard the news, his heart suddenly tightened, he was going to fight, although his son was the champion of Wen, no one knew if he would be sent to the place of war, but she was not an illiterate fool in the end, although she was extremely worried, she also knew that at this time, she must not drag her son back, she didn't say anything except silently helping Zixiu pack her bags.

"San Lang, what do you say this Liao person is crazy about? How could they suddenly attack us at this time? Seeing that his mother was helping him clean up his salute, Zixiu simply stopped his hand, walked to the side, and chatted with Li Sanlang, who had already packed his clothes.

"Who knows, I heard your sister say before, she said that this Yelu Longxu is by no means an idle person, when the Youzhou Rebellion, he did not take the opportunity to start a war with us, but the timing was not right, once he fully controlled the power of the Liao State and unified the major tribes of the grassland, Liao and my Great Song Dynasty, there must be a big war, and now it seems that her words are really effective." Li Sanlang opened his mouth with a solemn face, compared to Zi Xiu, Li Sanlang knows more about the Liao people, eight years ago, he went to Youzhou with Li You, at that time, although the battle did not start, but Li Sanlang had already seen the means and power of the Liao army from the side.

Zi Xiu frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more, the two packed up their salutes, said goodbye to Lin and Que Yin, and embarked on the journey back to Beijing with the two heralds, when passing by Jiangjia Village, Li Sanlang pulled the reins, turned his head and said to Zi Xiu: "Zi Xiu, let's go and say goodbye to your sister." ”

"It's fine." Xiao Nan was still in confinement at this time, Zi Xiu didn't want to disturb her, but thinking about it, she didn't know when and what month she would return, so it was better to say goodbye to her sister, and the two asked the herald to wait on the side of the road for a while, and she jumped off the horse and ran towards Xiao Nan's house.

At this time, the war had just happened for three days, except for the court, even the people of Qianmen had not had time to transmit the news back to the Central Plains, Xiao Nan was a confinement mother, and the news naturally could not be more well-informed than the court, and when Zixiu and Li Sanlang told her about it, she was stunned at first, and then blurted out: "Let your brother-in-law enter Beijing with you!" ”

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? How can we let my brother-in-law enter Beijing with us at this time? When Zi Xiu heard this, he immediately objected fiercely.

"What's not to do? With my ability, there is still someone in Qingfu Town who can hurt me? And you are different, if my expectation is right, this time you and Zhao Zhen will most likely go out with the army, with your brother-in-law here, your safety can be guaranteed. Xiao Nan glared at Zixiu and spoke.

"But ......," Zixiu still wanted to refute.

"It's nothing, it's up to me, Jing Xuan, please." Xiao Nan's face sank, and he undoubtedly rejected Zi Xiu's rebuttal, and when he said the last sentence, his eyes fell on Jiang Jingxuan, who had been listening.

"Don't worry, auntie, their safety will be handed over to me, as long as I am here, I will not let them lose a single hair, but you, you have to take care of yourself at home." Jiang Jingxuan and Xiao Nan have the same mind, he has no opinion on Xiao Nan's arrangement, in Xiao Nan's heart, Zi Xiu and Zhao Zhen are her own brothers, and now these two younger brothers may have to go to the battlefield, and it is natural that she, as a sister, can't let go of her heart.

For Jiang Jingxuan, although these two people are not his own brothers, they are almost the same as his own brothers emotionally, he grew up in the Xiao family, whether it is Zixiu or Zhao Zhen, he grew up watching, and another point is that he has a martial arts reputation on his body, and he should have gone to the battlefield together, even if he did not enter Beijing with Zixiu, he would soon receive a conscription order.
