Chapter 179: Peak Return

Wu Lin and Liu's mother were really a little surprised when they saw Xie Jing's arrival, but then they estimated in their hearts, this can't be something else, otherwise how could the prince come? The two of them were worried in their hearts, but they couldn't show the slightest on their faces, so after Xie Jing passed through Wu Lin and Liu's mother and walked directly to the main room, the two looked at each other with a frown.

At this time, Xu Youshan, who was frowning in the room, didn't react at all for a while when she saw Xie Jing who went straight into the house, and sat on the other side with an indifferent expression, and drank a few Qingshan cold tea calmly for a while, Xu Youshan suddenly came back to her senses and got up to salute Xie Jingfu.

"Lord Wang."

"Sit down." Seeing Xu Youshan saluting herself, Xie Jing raised her eyebrows and glanced at her before speaking. And Xu Youshan was stunned in her heart after receiving the slight ridicule in Xie Jing's eyes, and then knew that he was signaling that he would leave that day, which made Xu Youshan a little silent, but in this current situation, she didn't want to provoke Xie Jing anymore, she didn't expect him, but she didn't want him to recruit another enemy for the Xu family because he was angry with herself.

"I don't know, is there something wrong with the prince coming over?" As soon as Xu Youshan sat down, she asked straight to the point.

"There is a change in the war on the frontier, and the war report should arrive in Beijing tomorrow." And Xie Jing was also very direct, and directly answered Xu Youshan's question, but this answer made Xu Youshan a little unable to react What does it mean, the border war has changed, what does this have to do with her?

Xu Youshan didn't understand, so she asked Xie Jing directly, "Eh." I don't know if the prince told me about this, does it have anything to do with me? ”

Xu Youshan's words fell, and Xie Jing glanced at her. Then he didn't speak again, and after Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing's eyes that looked like he was looking at a fool, the breath in his chest was suffocated, and he almost couldn't breathe, and all the questions behind him were swallowed back, and he reached out to pick up the teacup of Bai Yuquzhu next to him, and just lowered his head to drink tea.

And see Xu Youshan like this. Xie Jing didn't say much, just sat quietly beside her for a while, and then left. Xu Youshan also got up silently to send it off. After Xie Jing's figure disappeared completely, Xu Youshan hurriedly summoned several people from the Wu Lin clan into the room, told them everything Xie Jing had just said, and then asked them. Know what it means.

Wu Lin and Liu's mother were the first to look happy. When Chu Dai and Yue Dai were still confused, the two glanced at each other, and Wu Lin smiled at Xu Youshan and said, "Princess, this is a great thing." ”

Xu Youshan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mother Wu, are you okay, the war on the frontier has changed, I look at the tone of the prince." I guess the probability of going bad is higher, how can this be a good thing. When the saint learns about it tomorrow, he will definitely be furious, and he will not be able to transfer his anger to his cousin and grandfather. ”

"No, it won't." After Wu Lin heard this, he said to Xu Youshan with a smile: "If the front-line war is tight, it will be a major event for my Great Zhou Mountains and Rivers, and the attention of the saint will definitely be devoted to this matter, so how can the saint still embarrass you, princess, in the major affairs of the country, the matter of Concubine Leng has a miscarriage, it is simply a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning." ”

"Yes, and on the contrary, at that time, a family of ministers like our Jiangzuo Xu family will be the time when the saint needs to rely on it vigorously, and the saint will not only not anger the old lady and them, but will definitely take the initiative to get close to them and put this matter aside." Liu's mother was also very happy and continued.

"I see." And after Wu Lin finished talking to Liu's mother, Xu Youshan suddenly realized, and the look of Xie Jing who had just told her about it immediately appeared in front of her. Xu Youshan paused, and then closed her eyes silently, and when she opened them again, she was as happy as Wu Lin and Liu's mother, so that their Xu family should not be in too much danger, right?

In fact, it is indeed like this, in the early morning of the next day, after the 800-mile urgent battle report arrived in Beijing, the entire imperial Kyoto was shaken, and the military situation that had been tending to victory on the front line suddenly reversed, and in the latest large-scale collision, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was unstoppable, and returned to the Guannai in a row, which was the biggest defeat in this year, although the casualties were not very serious, but the morale plummeted, and the situation was very bad.

And after this battle report was presented to Emperor Zhou Huidi, Emperor Zhou Hui was furious, and asked the military department what was going on, which made the military department Shangshu break out in a cold sweat. But then, when Emperor Zhou Hui asked the ministers what countermeasures they had, he was the most focused on asking the two old ladies of the Xu family, and he also changed the tone of criticism yesterday, which was mild and unlikely, which made everyone sigh again and again that the king was unpredictable.

can think so, but no one dares to show it, even Xu Luo and Xu Rong answered Zhou Huidi's question without any different colors, and immediately put forward several emergency measures, which made Zhou Huidi overjoyed, and praised Xu Luo and Xu Rong again and again.

And Xu Youshan, the princess of Chu, who originally occupied the attention of everyone in the divine capital, was left behind by everyone for a while, and now all people are talking about is the war on the front line.

……

……

"I didn't expect him to move so fast."

"Heh, it seems that Sister Shan, we don't have to worry anymore, there is such a person who is willing to protect her like this."

"Sister Shan, we don't have to worry, we don't have to worry about the future of our Xu family. Alas, I really can't imagine that the third prince is so bold and dares to do this, it is really too vicious and cruel. ”

Dongyang Lane, Xu Mansion, Xu Rong and Xu Rong sat opposite each other in Taixi Garden, a pot of tea in front of them was hot, and in the faint mist, Xu Luo and Xu Rong's expressions were a little serious at this time, especially when talking about the third prince Xie Wen, the two of them were a little confused. But then his face changed as if he had thought of something, and Xu Rong said to Xu Luo: "This is an opportunity, the front line is defeated, the saint is furious, it is estimated that General Lin will be punished." ”

"Hmph, for the sake of temporary interests, he dares to ignore the crisis of the sergeants like this, and his fate will not be good. But you are also right, the current crisis is also a turning point. There aren't many people in my court who can turn the tide like this. Xu Luo's eyes were shining, and he and Xu Rong both thought the same, both remembering the name that was almost forgotten by the world.

The defeat of Da Zhou this time can be described as sudden, and the battle that has been tending to victory can be suddenly defeated? Everyone was talking about it, and Emperor Zhou Hui gave a death order. The military department was sent to investigate it strictly, and soon after, it was sent to the army. It turned out that when they were fighting that day, the soldiers suddenly found that there was something wrong with the newly issued armor, which was thin and scary, and it was simply broken at the first poke.

So the soldiers went to react to their superiors. But who knows that what can be obtained is absolutely suppressed. The soldiers were unbelievable, and then there was a surprise attack by the enemy, and the soldiers were shaken by their minds, of course, they were defeated, but fortunately, the soldiers knew that there was a problem with the armor at that time, and they did not fight at all, and retreated at the first touch. Although the battle was a major defeat, the casualties were not serious.

But this kind of escape without a fight. Originally, they were all going to be dealt with by the most severe military law, but then the excited soldiers were not escorted, and the commander-in-chief General Lin was treated by the supervising army, and then the imperial history who came to investigate also used a thunderous posture to investigate the cause and effect of the matter, so this incident, none of the soldiers were punished, which really made everyone stunned, but then of course it was to cry with joy and shout that Emperor Zhou Hui was wise and powerful.

"Damn, all deserve to die, military quartermaster is the heaviest soldier, Lin Qian dared to steal beams and change pillars like this, shoddy, it is really a crime that deserves death, a crime that deserves death." Emperor Zhou Hui looked at the recital from the front line, and he was trembling with anger.

This time is really a crisis, if the front line is really lost, then the enemy army can go all the way south, straight to the divine capital, then Emperor Zhou Hui, the son of the Great Zhou, but he was really under the city, the country of the Great Zhou, I can't say that it may really be handed over, which makes Emperor Zhou Hui how can he not be angry, how can he not be surprised, how can he not be afraid.

"Qiqi Sheng, Lin Qian deserves death for his crimes, but he is just the commander-in-chief of this campaign, but the military supplies of the whole army are all transported from all over the country, if it is said that Lin Qian alone can steal the sky and change the day, then Weichen does not believe it."

In the Guangming Palace, at this time under Emperor Zhou Hui, there are five people, in order of Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, Fang Yong, the Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Lingfang Yong, the door of the province under the door of Xu Luo, Shangshu Zuo Pu shot Wen Rulin, and Nanxiang Gong Xu Rong five people, they stood under the head of Zhou Huidi, all of them looked solemn, at this time Shangshu Zuo Pu shot was even behind Zhou Huidi's words, he stepped forward, and said to Zhou Huidi sternly, hoping that Zhou Huidi could find out all the comrades of Lin Qian's party this time.

But just after Wen Rulin's words were finished, Zhongshu Ling Fang Yong also immediately stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Zhou Hui and said: "Qiqi Sheng, the current front-line war is urgent, although Lord Wen is also reasonable, but Weichen feels that the most important thing at this time is to quickly elect another general to turn the tide." ”

Fang Yong's words made Wen Rulin frown, and then he wanted to refute it, but then at this time, Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, who was standing at the front, actually agreed: "Holy Lord, the old minister thinks that what Lord Fang said is very true, and the current situation on the front line is critical, and it should be put first." ”

Wen Rulin definitely didn't expect that Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, would agree with Fang Yong's opinion, but not only Wen Rulin didn't expect it, but even Fang Yong himself didn't expect it, but then, after Emperor Zhou Hui pondered for a while, he asked them if He Liang would be able to take up this position, Xu Luo immediately stepped forward and said Huanchuan Zhai's family, but Wen Rulin was relieved. But Fang Yong's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Holy ......"

Fang Yong wanted to refute Xu Luo's words, but Nanxiang Gong Xu Rong, who had never spoken, suddenly stepped forward at this time, interrupted Fang Yong's words, and said: "Shengshang, our army can't be defeated again at this time, otherwise the enemy army will move south, then there is no natural danger to defend on this road, and the day when the soldiers come to the city will not be far away." ”

Before Xu Rong's words fell, Fang Yong secretly said bad in his heart, and sure enough, after Emperor Zhou Hui heard this, he waved his hand without thinking about it, and said: "Okay, make an order immediately, let Huanchuan Zhai Ran be the commander-in-chief of this campaign, and immediately go to the front line." ”

If there is anyone in the current dynasty who knows Emperor Zhou Hui best, it is Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, who grew up with Emperor Zhou Hui, and the two old ladies of the Xu family who assisted Emperor Zhou Hui, who was still the crown prince from the beginning, all the way to the throne, so now they are just a few words, and they have said the words to Emperor Zhou Huidi's heart, and they also hit Emperor Zhou Hui's biggest weakness, his great Zhou Jiangshan.

So not long after, there was a holy decree from the divine capital and rushed towards Huanchuan, and at this time, the imperial capital was also boiled by the fact that the Huanchuan Zhai family was about to re-enter the battlefield. Especially for people of a certain age, the heart that had been restless since the previous few days suddenly settled down.

Huanchuan Zhai family, that's our god of war in Da Zhou!

……

……

The events of the past two days have turned very sharply, which made Xu Youshan dizzy, but the joy that followed was countless, and the happiest of them was of course that the crisis of the Xu family was lifted, which made Xu Youshan directly breathe a sigh of relief, and her heart was like a heavy stone with a sharp knife hanging high, and it fell to the ground in an instant. And Xu Youshan's joy also made the tense and depressing atmosphere in the clouds after Bo Wei finally dissipate without a trace.

It's just that at this time when the front-line war is still critical, Xu Youshan's joy is really inappropriate, but fortunately, Xu Youshan has not stepped out of the Chu Palace's mansion recently, so it is not a big problem. And I don't know why, out of great confidence in the gods of war of the Huanchuan Zhai family and Da Zhou, now Xu Youshan is not worried about defeat at all.

What can make Xu Youshan a little worried now is that I don't know if Zhai Yu will fight, if Zhai Yu does, then it will just be Xu Ming's wife who has just married Zhai Yu. Didn't you just become a bride, so you have to stay alone in Huanchuan, right?

In the past two days, Xu Youshan has been in most of the relaxed joy, the only thing that can still worry her a little is this, although she thinks that Zhai Yu has just married Xu Ming, and Old Man Zhai should not take him to the front line, but with Zhai Yu's filial temperament, will he let his grandfather and father go to the front line to go to the battlefield in person, and he is alone in Huanchuan?

- No, it won't.

The answer couldn't be more obvious, Xu Youshan had eaten half of the wine-stuffed willow leaf cake, and suddenly she couldn't eat it anymore, so she put down the pastry in her hand with a lack of interest, and Xu Youshan became weak. (To be continued.) )
