Duanmu Xuan was ordered to go to Youzhou with Situ Jin and Li Sanlang with their families to take office, perhaps because their family was by their side, although the road was far and difficult, but they did not feel bored and unbearable. Several men rode horses to protect their wives and children's cars, listening to the bursts of laughter in the car, and their faces couldn't help revealing a kind of happiness.

"Third brother, according to my seniority, I should also respect you as an uncle, but I'm not used to formality, so how about we still call each other brothers in the future?"

"Brother Ziheng's words are in my heart, this is the best!" Li Sanlang glanced at the carriage again, and then took two steps forward to drive alongside Duanmu Xuan.

"Zhongxian, third brother! Although I am confident that I can protect Yan'er, but you also know her character, I am afraid that she may not be willing to listen to my words, and she will have to have Lao Zhongxian and the third brother to stop her more. I don't want Yan'er to be tired as soon as she enters Youzhou! This matter has always hung in Duanmu Xuan's heart, he is not afraid of his beloved wife to endure hardships, after all, with his beloved wife's ability, let alone hardship, it is difficult for someone to give her hardships. But what he is most worried about is Situ Yan's temperament, afraid that she will not take good care of herself and be tired and sick.

"It's nature!" Situ Jin and Li Sanlang spoke in unison, especially Situ Jin, thinking that if the little sister refused to listen to repeated persuasions, even if he was tied up and locked up, he would have to come forward to stop it. After all, the eldest brother is like a father, and the younger sister will never blame him.

The three men who thought about the same woman discussed a supervision plan in this way, and when the group arrived in Youzhou, Situ Yan was almost imprisoned in the house by these three people, but fortunately, she had a three-inch tongue. Otherwise, you can really just sit back and let it go.

Although the group was not in a hurry, it was as if they were playing in the mountains and rivers. But after all, the men are burdened with the emperor's order, and no matter how slow they are, they dare not miss the day of taking office. Fortunately, there is Situ Yan, a local man. So no one got sick along the way.

The counties within the boundaries of Youzhou are now temporarily taken over by the Ministry of War, after all, no one wants to come to this barren land to take office. And the history of Youzhou has not been selected for a long time, so this matter has been delayed. After entering Youzhou, even Gongsun Yu, who has always loved to talk and laugh, has a sad face all day long, everything here has long exceeded her imagination, looking at the ruined county seats, and seeing piles of terrifying white bones. Not to mention the eldest lady like Gongsun Yu, who has always been an iron-blooded guard who has always been on the battlefield, everyone is silent. No one was heard as the procession went.

"Yan'er, this? Could it be that you accompanied your brother in such a place in the first place? ”

"Sister-in-law doesn't feel that everything in front of her is like a purgatory diagram on earth! It's just that these are not paintings, but are made of living human bones, and this is war. So Brother Xuan, he doesn't want to fight from the bottom of his heart! Situ Yan did not directly answer Gongsun Yu's question. It's helping her adapt to what she sees in front of her, and she's really afraid that this sister-in-law will be scared sick.

"Yan'er, I'm afraid!" Gongsun Yu was really scared, for three days in a row, she was haunted by nightmares every night, and she couldn't sleep every night.

"Sister-in-law, this person is much more terrifying than a ghost, and those who fight are all people. When have you ever seen a ghost fight! ”

"It's all this time, and only you can laugh. I know you're trying to reassure me, but I'm really scared of all this! ”

"Sister-in-law, trust me! As long as I'm here, I'll turn this earthly purgatory map into a fairyland map for you to enjoy! Situ Yan took Gongsun Yu's hand and looked into her eyes to give her warmth and confidence.

Although the two women can talk, they can grow up in different environments, and naturally they look at and think diametrically opposite. The officials of the counties and towns in Youzhou were originally the generals of the Northeast Army under the command of Duanmu Xuan, and they were naturally very close to the general when they saw it. Some generals even invited a banquet to celebrate Duanmu Xuan and his party. After all, compared to other generals to dominate them, they were of course more convinced of Duanmu Xuan.

"Don't show up, I've come all the way, watching the refugees become disasters, and where can I eat, everything is simple!"

"The general is married, and his subordinates are ordered to guard the town, in order to be able to send congratulatory gifts in person, it is already difficult to feel at ease, and now the general and his wife are passing by here, how can the subordinates not be entertained!" Duanmu Xuan is a brave general who has followed them on the battlefield and killed Hu captivity, and he is the hero in the hearts of these generals, and he is naturally different from other officials.

"I have received your wishes, you stay in Youzhou, I am afraid that life will not be easy, and you must not be extravagant and wasteful. Besides, you haven't seen Mrs. Ben General, and with her temper, I'm afraid that I will be angry when I see you like this! ”

"The general's wife is from the county lord of Heyang, and she has worked hard all the way, I am afraid that she has long been unable to eat, and her subordinates have prepared wild animals and game in the mountains, which is just to replenish the vitality of the general's wife, and I think that Mrs. will not blame her subordinates for their recklessness!"

Duanmu Xuan also knew that these people had good intentions, but he knew Situ Yan better, just looking at her tightly locked eyebrows these days, he was afraid that everything in Youzhou would also exceed what his wife thought.

In fact, Duanmu Xuan really thought wrong this time, no one knows better than Situ Yan what war is, what cruelty is, everything in Youzhou is within her calculations, and the only thing that makes her feel uneasy is Situ Jin and Gongsun Yu. The frightened and worried expressions of these two people had even infected her.

"Yu'er, this Youzhou is really not a place that ordinary people can keep, Xiang'er is still young, why don't you go back to Beijing with Xiang'er tomorrow?"

"Jinlang, although I am timid in my heart, if there is no one around you who knows the cold and knows the heat and cares for me, how can I feel at ease!"

"Yan'er is here, don't worry!"

"Yan'er is now the general's wife, the princess, and she is going to follow her senior brother to the border city, but as a historian of Youzhou, how can she accompany her to the border city, and Youzhou governs Jixian County, Guangyang County, and it is more than half a month away from the fast horse of the border city of Susi County, how can Yan'er take care of it!" Seeing that the husband still wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, Gongsun Yu directly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.

"Jinlang, Yan'er is your own sister-in-law, you don't want to see her running hard at both ends, if she is tired and sick, how can it be good! As for Xiang'er, I will take care of him every step of the way, even if I have something, I won't let anyone hurt him! Gongsun Yu was afraid in his heart. But she loves her man deeply, and she doesn't want to see Situ Jin stay here alone and suffer, even if she stays, she can't help. Fortunately, you can cook hot food to replenish your husband's body.

"That's it! But if you can't do it, you can send someone to send you back to Beijing for your husband! "Knowing that her husband is supposed to do this, as long as she is not allowed to return to Beijing, even if she is afraid, she will insist on staying by her husband's side.

Situ couldn't persuade his wife, so he thought of discussing with his little sister again, wanting her to return to Beijing as well. In this way, the wife will follow. "Yan'er, now that you are married to Ziheng, these words should not have been mentioned by me, who is a brother. But along the way, there is no half of the house, no half of the good shops, and the Turks have just withdrawn from Youzhou after the defeat of the Turks, and they will not give up, but they are afraid that the border city is even more dangerous. How can I see you in danger as a brother! I only have a sister like you! "Situ would like to say that there is something emotional. The eye sockets are inevitably red.

"Brother, when I was a doctor in the army and fought on the battlefield, I could return safely, you should be able to believe that I have the ability to take care of myself, even the people I care about!"

"But my brother doesn't want you to suffer!"

"Where is this bitter, when I left home at the age of six, it was much more bitter than this!" Situ Yan originally wanted to comfort her brother. But he didn't want her to say this, and Situ Jin blamed himself even more. "It's all because my brother is incompetent, it's because my brother is sorry for you!"

"No, that's not what I meant!" Situ Yan looked helpless, when this brother returned to the northwest, he blamed himself at every turn. "Brother, I came here voluntarily, because the people I care about are here, so even if you let me go back to Beijing, I won't be better off than in the border city. I promise you, I will take good care of myself and not lose a penny! ”

"Forget it, it's useless for me to persuade you! But this is not to say that the heart is always unsteady! You, and your sister-in-law are very stubborn! ”

"I said, it turns out that my brother touched a nail at my sister-in-law's, so I came to find my little sister to vent my anger! See if I don't complain to my sister-in-law, saying that you are bullying your sister-in-law! As soon as Situ Yan's words came out, Situ Jin finally smiled again, but although it was a bitter smile, it was stronger than crying and wiping tears just now.

In the evening, Duanmu Xuan, Situ Jin and Li Sanlang accompanied the military attaches to drink wine and eat meat. Situ Yan simply took a bite and called out to the dark night, "Can I do what I ordered?" ”

"Back to the master, Dark Ice has already transported all the grain on the Zhuangzi, and it should be almost Youzhou in the day!"

"My orders are urgent, and it will take some time for them to prepare. We are so travelling, and it is not good to delay the trip because of this. Fortunately, my father is willing to let the Iron Guard protect me all the way, and I don't need to worry about safety! ”

"Master, Zhuangzi has been in business for many years, although he has saved a lot of grain, but if it is distributed to the counties of Youzhou, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket!" Dark Night has been following Situ Yan for a long time, and he has also learned to calculate everything.

"There are 12 counties in Youzhou, 88 counties, of which only 12 counties are located in the upper counties, and only 30 middle counties, and the rest are inferior counties. We will first focus on these 12 counties, and if there are more of them, we will distribute them to the middle and lower counties. Moreover, the silver allocated by the imperial court to Youzhou is now on the elder brother, and it should be barely able to use the silver to settle the victims for the winter. As for the details, you still need to go to Jixian County, and then make plans after reading the reports from all over the country! ”

"Master, don't you accompany the general to the border pass?" Dark night thought that Situ Yan wanted to stay in Jixian County to help Situ Jin. This is not in line with etiquette, although he is just a subordinate, but these things still have to remind the master.

"Stay soon, only for half a month, arrange things properly and start again, but you and Dark Ice must stay, and I can only feel at ease with you in my heart!"

"Master, Dark Ice has learned a lot over the years, so let your subordinates follow you!"

"No, you are sitting in Jixian County, and they are going to go down to the county seat of each county, otherwise I am afraid that all these things will go into the hands of corrupt officials, and it will be the common people who suffer!" Situ Yan made a bet with the emperor, and she didn't want to lose her words after losing the bet.

"Master, wherever you pass along the way, you will find local officials to inquire, and you already know that even if your subordinates don't stay, they will not make a mistake if there is dark ice!" What kind of place is the border city, he has been there in the dark night, how can he rest assured that there is no guard by his master's side. Even if his kung fu is not as good as that of the Iron Guard, no one can compare to his loyalty to his master.

"Dark night, I know what you are thinking in your heart, but you should know my character after following me for so many years, you can protect the people I care about is loyal to me, but the life you stay in may not be better than the border city, you have to endure hardships with it, I have only one request for you, protect my brother's whole family, protect yourself!"

"Master!" Situ Yan rarely talked about this, but she knew that her master had them in her heart, which made them happier than giving them silver to eat.

"Okay, take a closer look at what I wrote, memorize what you can, don't wait for anything to come to the end!" Situ Yan saw that things were almost as ordered, so she entered the house.

This house is still the mansion of the county commander, and now it has been vacated for the general and his party. Duanmu Xuanjiu returned to the house after three rounds, "Yan'er, I'll wash and come again, so as not to smoke you!" ”

"There's decanting soup on the table, drink it first and then go!" His beloved wife thinks about his body, and Duanmu Xuan's heart is warm. After drinking the soup and cleaning up, he sat on the bed and chatted with Situ Yan.

"Brother Xuan, in two days, I will go to Jixian County, Guangyang County, Youzhou Governor's Office, I want to stay and help my brother set off for half a month, do you think it's good?"

"Okay, I'm just going to the border city to set up, otherwise Yan'er won't even have a decent room when she goes, so she can only follow her husband to live in a military tent!" Duanmu Xuan had already thought that Situ Yan would stay for a while, he originally thought that he would stay for a month, but now that it was only half a month, he naturally responded in one bite.

"But Yan'er has to agree to be a husband, she can't be tired, she can't lose weight, otherwise I will definitely settle accounts with Zhongxian!"

"That's my brother-in-law, are you still afraid that she won't be able to enslave me?"

"Of course he is reluctant, but he is afraid that you will enslave yourself! Yan'er, this thing is always unfinished, don't be in a hurry, even if you go to the border city a few days later! ”

"Brother is my dear relative, Brother Xuan is my dearest, I am worried about any of them, I can't let go of any of them, I really hate how God gave birth to a Situ Yan, if I can have a doppelganger, then don't worry!" Sweet words Duanmu Xuan talks every day, but Situ Yan is the first time to be coquettish to Duanmu Xuan, and Duanmu Xuan is so happy that he takes his wife into his arms and keeps intimacy.

"A stubble on the face, it hurts!" Situ Yan laughed while hiding, and for a while, the spring in the house was infinite.

The next morning, as soon as they saw the dawn, Duanmu Xuan and his entourage had already set off, and they were delayed here for a day, and there was not much time left before the day of taking office. Fortunately, when Situ Jin arrived in Jixian County, Duanmu Xuan and his entourage all rode horses, and the footsteps were naturally much faster than that of a carriage.

Although Jixian County is said to be the seat of Youzhou, but when the city was attacked and plundered, it was also the most seriously damaged, and Situ Yan looked at the Jixian County in front of him when he arrived, and even the inferior county towns they passed through were not as good, and she couldn't help but worry a little about Gongsun Yu. (To be continued.) )
