That was two months ago.

The Western Regions is a foreign country in the end, even if Xiling is close, it will take time for such news to come out through many levels.

Cui Ling frowned, "Husband, are you saying that there is a connection between the Turkic rebellion and Helian Sheng's kingship?" ”

She whispered, "Yes, I heard from my grandmother that there is a territorial dispute between the Western Regions and the Turks, and the relationship is not friendly. ”

If things are really as Gorou speculated, the Turks will pass through the Western Regions, and the territory of the Western Regions outside Xiling City will become a military field.

It is impossible for two countries with territorial disputes to do so.

Otherwise, what if the Turks turned their guns and pointed the finger at the Western Regions?

The city gate has been opened, and the Turkic army is already on the territory of the Western Regions, which is tantamount to self-destruction.

Unless, there is some shady deal between the Western Regions and the Turks, and they have to risk the destruction of the country and lend their territory to the Turks.

Cui Ling couldn't help but think of the ten years when Sheng Qian disappeared.

He didn't return to the Western Regions, where did he go?

What kind of power did he have the support to defeat the well-prepared brothers and take over the throne of the king of the Western Regions in a short period of time?

At this important moment, she had to think about it.

She asked in a low voice, "Husband, could it be that Helian Sheng was able to ascend to the throne with the support of the Turks?" ”

This is probably the most plausible explanation for the current state of affairs.

Gorou nodded slightly, the knot between his eyebrows could not be retreated, "I'm just afraid that the Western Regions and the Turks have formed an alliance, and if the two countries press the border at the same time, I'm afraid that the forces of Xiling City will not be able to resist." ”

He sighed. "Ling Yin has caught the thief who has infiltrated his mansion and stolen. Interrogation. I guess there will be some clues. ”

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

Xiling City, which was peaceful and joyful in the past, is in a stormy situation, and I don't know when this gloomy cloud will come.

Xiling City may have to face a war, and Pingxihou did not hide this from the children at home.

He specially called all the family members of the Su family, including several members of the Yuan family, to the main hall and told everyone the current situation without missing a word.

More and more clues point to the Turks, and even the thieves who Ling Yin caught confessed. He was instructed by the Turks to commit theft.

This almost confirms that Helian Sheng's becoming the king of the Western Regions was the handiwork of the Turks.

Although it is not clear whether Helian Sheng and the Turks had made a pact with each other, or whether he had already sold his soul to the Turks and now commanded the body of a puppet, it was clear that the Western Regions, like the Turks, had become the most powerful threat to the Dasheng Dynasty.

Pingxihou is over sixty years old, but he is still full of energy, he said to the children and grandchildren in the hall. "If there is a war in Xiling, our Su family will be at the forefront. Protect the people in the city and wait for reinforcements from the DPRK and China. ”

His eyes deepened, and his tone was a little tragic, "The front line has no eyes, and it is inevitable that there will be damage, you ...... Are you all mentally prepared for this? ”

The home of Jiangmen, the battlefield is the most enthusiastic place to prove its worth.

But it's also a hero's mound.

This is not the poet's exaggerated words, but reality.

Su Shizi was optimistic by nature, and said nonchalantly, "What do you say, Dad, for a real soldier, the battlefield is the most glorious place for the shroud. ”

He held his head high, "It is a great honor to die on the battlefield in order to protect the family and defend the country!" ”

As soon as Su Shizi's words fell, he was scolded by Pingxi Hou and smashed down.

Pingxi Hou hated that iron could not become steel, and his saliva spurted, "What kind of do you bastard, those high-sounding words are reserved to deceive others, and you can also give me this set in your own home." ”

His index finger kept pointing at Su Shizi and trembling, "According to what you said, the lives of our Su family are so cheap?" If you can live a good life, you have to die on the battlefield? Glory fart, you are glorious, your daughter-in-law is not sad? Aren't your children sad? Don't your family feel sorry? ”

Su Shizi kept shrinking his body back, and smiled at everyone embarrassedly, "Okay, okay, what are you talking about, Dad, it's not glorious, glory is a fart, okay?" ”

Pingxi Hou was about to beat Su Shizi, but when he thought that there were grandchildren in the house, he finally reluctantly resisted this urge.

He snorted coldly and stopped looking at Su Shizi.

After a pause, he turned to the crowd and said, "I told you to prepare early, but I didn't make you prepare to die." ”

The old man waved his hand, pointed in the direction of the Western Regions and said, "Sooner or later, the enemy army will come to invade our land, and it is the duty of our Su family to protect Xiling City, which has been the case since the founding of the Great Sheng." But ......"

Pingxihou looked around, "But trying to survive in a difficult environment is the requirement of our Su family ancestors for their descendants. No matter how bitter the war is, no matter how fierce the enemy is, and how dangerous it is, you must try to survive! ”

He paused, "If you want to survive, you have to be prepared. ”

Su Qian asked quietly, "Grandfather, what are we going to do?" ”

Pingxihou was silent for a long time, and suddenly a few fine lights shot out of his eyes, "Break it into zero." ”

First of all, for the sake of blood, the third and fourth generations of children who have never reached adulthood must be sent out of Xiling City.

No matter what the final outcome of this war is, even if it is won, Xiling City will definitely bear the brunt of it, and it will inevitably be affected by the war.

Therefore, the children who have never reached adulthood in the house have to leave here and take refuge in other homes or relatives' homes.

Second, each has its own duties.

For generals, pioneers, and logistics, both men and women in the family have their own division of labor, and they can be independent at any time.

Su Qian, Su Qiang, Su Wei, these older girls refused to leave, so they stayed in the house for the time being, and if there were wounded and sick in the future, they could be responsible for bandaging and taking care of them.

In short, we must be completely prepared, and we must not be restrained and panicked in the face of a real war.

After saying a few words, Pingxihou turned to the old lady and said, "Sister, these decades. It's the first time you've been back to your parents' home. I should have taken you around. Who would have thought that would happen! ”

He sighed, "The disaster of the Xiling war is about to break out, sister, you better follow the eldest nephews back to Shengjing first!" ”

The old lady glared at him, "Xiling City is your territory and my maiden home, do you think I may know that Xiling is in trouble, and still want to leave here?" ”

She raised her chin. said loudly, "I, Su Wan, was also a female general by the first emperor back then, is he just a person who is afraid of things?" I won't leave, the more critical it is, the more I will have to fight side by side with Brother Xun in Xiling City! ”

There is another sentence, which the old lady did not say.

What she thought to herself was that she was old anyway, and if she could die on the battlefield, it would be for her. I don't have any regrets in this life.

The general refused to leave, and he said to Pingxihou. "Uncle, how can you drive people out like this?"

He patted his chest, "Although your nephew and I no longer have the power to fight, I still have the ability to do this." If there is a real war, if nothing else, provide a little idea, or even go into battle for a walk, there is no problem! ”

Wulang also said, "Uncle, I am on the orders of the emperor to do things in Xiling City, if there is something in Xiling, I naturally can't stand idly by." ”

He paused, and then said, "You don't know, if the main general of the Turks this time is not mistaken, it should be Ashina Taijiang. That dark arrow killed my second brother, and this revenge can't be avenged! ”

How could Pingxi Hou not know Ashina Taijiang!

Yuan Erlang came to Xiling to live for a period of time when he was a child, and he had a very close relationship with his uncle.

He finally looked forward to Erlang's marriage, and was still waiting to hug Erlang's child, and the Turks started a military disaster.

Although Dasheng won, Jiro's good boy was lost on the battlefield.

Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, and death does not blink an eye!

didn't even leave an heir, so young and immortal.

Pingxi Hou hated Ashina Taijiang's heart, and he would not be less than the people of the Yuan family.

With a terrible expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, good, good, in that case, I won't drive you back to Shengjing, let's defend the city together, take revenge for those who are wronged, take revenge for those who have revenge, and vow to wipe out the Turks!" ”

However, he still said to Cui Ling, "It's okay if a few of them stay, Ling'er, you and the two children have to leave first." It's too dangerous here for you to risk it. ”

Cui Ling gently took Gorou's hand and said to Pingxihou with a smile, "The two children can follow a few brothers and sisters of the Su family to avoid trouble, but I won't leave." ”

She looked up at Gorou, and then looked back at Pingxihou, "I know some medical science, and I can cook, if I really get to that point, it's not useless and useless." ”

Pingxi Hou sighed, "You are really ......"

He stomped his foot, "The two children are so young, in case there is something good on our side and there is no reliable person to take care of, you are not worried, not afraid, and not sorry?" ”

The city is dangerous, and there is no complete guarantee for this battle.

If something really happened at that time, the two children would be alone!

There is still some distance from Shengjing City, and there is no reliable person to send the child back along the way, and he is not at ease.

Cui Ling said with a smile, "I have an idea, it's good for my uncle to hear it?" ”

She turned her head to Shi Xiujin and said, "Shi Xiaosi, I know that you also want to protect your family and defend the country here, but I hope you can send Ke'er and Yi'er to a safe place to take care of them instead of me." ”

Although Shi Xiaosi has a funny personality, he is still very reliable, especially if he promises others, he will definitely do it.

This time, Cui Ling came to Xiling City, and he didn't bring many people around him, and only Mu Hibiscus served with him.

Although Hibiscus is reliable, after all, she is a girl who grew up in the back house, with limited knowledge and a tough temperament.

She still needs a man to protect her children, so she can rest assured.

Undoubtedly, Shi Xiaosi is the best choice.

If her children are taken care of by Shi Xiaosi, it will be ...... Even if she and Gorou are both ...... She was also relieved.

When Shi Xiaosi heard this, he shook his head violently, "Fifth sister-in-law, you evacuate, I will replace you here, I will take good care of the fifth brother for you!" ”

He reluctantly glanced at Su Qian, "You have your heart, I also have mine, I can't leave alone." ”

In addition to the man's bloodiness that made him unable to leave the battlefield, the person he was most reluctant to bear was Su Qian.

The woman he loves, his future wife, is still adventuring here, if he leaves alone. That's not interesting!

Cui Ling laughed softly. "Shi Xiaosi. Of course your fifth sister-in-law understands, who let you leave alone? ”

She walked up to Su Qian, "Qianqian, the fifth sister-in-law wants to ask you for something, can you please take care of my two children for me?" They were still so young that they needed to be treated with care, and I didn't bring too many people with me this time. ”

After a pause, she continued. "But if it's you, I'm relieved!"

In these words, there was a vague hint of explaining the aftermath, but Su Qian didn't know how to refuse for a while.

In all fairness, she was reluctant to leave her parents and wanted to help here, but the fifth sister-in-law was right, the children, including her younger siblings, also needed a reliable person to take care of.

Even if there is an event in the future, it will not be displaced.

Cui Ling saw that Su Qian was moved. He smiled and said to Pingxi Hou, "Shi Xiaosi is someone I trust. Coriander is also someone I trust, my two children want to be entrusted to their care, uncle, what do you say? ”

She paused, leaned closer to Pingxihou and whispered, "I think that if I can stay and cook food for my uncle and everyone every day, you will be extra energetic even if you fight, right?" ”

Pingxihou's index finger involuntarily moved, delicious......

Since Cui Ling came to Pingxi Hou Mansion, he has not been idle every day.

She still continued to carry forward the fine style of the Yuan family in Shengjing City, cooking some delicacies from time to time, and also generously sent Master Liu to train the cooks of the Hou Mansion.

After combining the food characteristics of Xiling City and the specialties here, she also developed several special dishes.

Pingxihou is old, and he doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes to eat.

But after coming and going for so many years, he has long been tired of eating only a few dishes.

Finally, he was very happy to have a niece and daughter-in-law with first-class skills and who can develop new cuisines.

Even if it has not been peaceful in Xiling City in the past six months, it does not prevent him from tasting these delicacies at all.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Cui Ling's words, Pingxihou couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He thought for a moment and said with a serious face, "I think your five sisters-in-law have a point. ”

Su Shizi said the wrong thing just now, and then he attached himself to Ping Xihou, "I also think that the little fifth daughter-in-law has a point!" ”

He looked at Su Qian, "Coriander, that's it, you and Shi Xiaosi are responsible for taking our children to join relatives to avoid trouble, and with the two of you taking care of them, the family can rest assured." ”

Since his own father said so, where can Su Qian refuse?

She thought about it, and after glancing at Shi Xiaosi, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll obey the order." ”

Shi Xiaosi saw that Su Qian had agreed, so naturally he couldn't insist anymore, and he said with some regret, "Since this is the case, then I promise the fifth brother and five sisters-in-law that I will take good care of the two children, Ke'er and Yi'er." ”

He turned his head to Pingxihou and Su Shizi and said, "I also promise to take good care of the children in the house." ”

The matter was happily decided.

After another two days, the reconnaissance personnel in front found that there was indeed something abnormal on the Turkic side, and even the Western Regions were not normal.

Pingxihou immediately made a decision and quickly let the villagers at the border evacuate in time to avoid being affected by the war.

Then, they arranged troops on the front line, laid out a net, and waited for the Western Regions or the Turks to jump out first, and then began to do a big job.

It's finally time to say goodbye to the two children.

The children were born during the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, and now in May, they will be two years old in three months, and they have already spoken.

Yi'er has a quiet temperament, laughs when she sees people, and rarely speaks, but if you ask her questions, she can probably answer them, and she is a good child.

Ke'er has a very bad temper, not only loves to cry and make trouble, but also is very arrogant, and likes to torture people for fun.

This child's language skills are stronger than his sister's, and he can speak words a long time ago, and sometimes he can't say a word coldly, and it always makes people choke, and she has been angry with him several times.

So this time to hand over the two children to Shi Xiaosi and Su Qian, Cui Ling is very relieved about Yi'er, but she is always uneasy about Ke'er.

Wulang thought that Cui Ling was worried that the children would not be taken care of well, so he comforted her, "Fool, both children are taken care of by nurses, Master Liu also followed, and several old and calm grandmothers in the grandmother's house also followed, and then there is Cousin Qian, what are you afraid of?" ”

He smiled and said, "I heard from my uncle. Some of the children in the house went directly to seek refuge in other homes. The other family is also local. followed Shi Xiaosi and Qian'er to Maozhou City, where the Su family has a big manor, and the supply is excellent, and the children will not be wronged. ”

After a pause, "If you really don't feel at ease, otherwise go along!" ”

Maozhou City is in the middle of Xiling City and Shengjing City, not far from the south of the Yangtze River, and can be attacked and defended.

If the Xiling crisis is resolved. You can bring the children back at any time, and if Xiling City is broken, you can take them to Shengjing.

It's really not good, it's okay to go to Gangnam.

Whether it is the Su family or the Yuan family, there are also many farms and estates in the flowery Jiangnan, and they can live the rest of their lives safely.

Cui Ling glared at him, "I'm not worried that the children will be wronged, I know they won't be wronged, I'm afraid that Ke'er will be too difficult to bring, and I'm embarrassed." ”

She was so sad that she was about to cry. "You don't know, yesterday I told my two kids that I wanted the two of them to leave first. Yi'er is okay, after crying for a while, she is very sensible to say that she will be obedient. Ke Ke'er him! ”

Gorou hurriedly asked, "What did Ke'er say to make you so angry?" ”

He looked curious, "Although Ke'er is naughty, he is only a two-year-old child in the end, and I think he sometimes can't talk well." ”

Cui Ling said hatefully, "He is already very restrained in front of you, and when he was with me, he was always angry with me." ”

She pouted and said, "Originally, Er Yi'er had promised me to be obedient yesterday, but Ke'er said that her mother didn't want them anymore, and she wanted to give them away." Then Yi'er was also scared to cry by him. ”

Separated from her two children, she would have been very sad, okay?

Even if she was angry, she was still sad, and as a result, the two children cried together, and she couldn't help but cry along.

Because of this little episode, when sending the two children away, Gorou hugged Ke'er and said, "Xiling City is going to war, and it will be dangerous to fight, so my father and mother sent you to a safe place to avoid trouble." ”

He gently touched Xiao Ke'er's head, "Dad knows that you don't understand, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to remember that Dad and Mom love you and your sister very much, so we are reluctant to give you to others, and we will never want you." Got it? ”

Ke'er looked at Gorou with a pair of eyes that were as bright as night stars, and nodded like a little adult for a while, "Got it." ”

Although this child has a bad temper, he has to admit that he was born good-looking.

His appearance combines the advantages of Goro and Cui Ling, and he is simply handsome.

Gorou saw that it was rare for him to be so well-behaved, and Yuxue was cute, and he almost melted when he saw it, "Don't worry, your father and mother will pick you up soon." ”

The husband and wife reluctantly said goodbye to the children, and handed a thick bag to Shi Xiaosi with a heavy expression, "I'll see this when you get to Maozhou City." ”

After waving goodbye, Shi Xiaosi touched the big oiled paper bag in the carriage, "Coriander, what did you say the fifth brother gave this?" ”

He gestured, "This size, it feels like a silver ticket!" It must be a silver ticket, otherwise the fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law would not have given me this thing so secretly, and did you see it, their expressions were very heavy, as if they were reluctant. ”

And I have to say that I want to go to Maozhou City to see again, isn't this a place without three hundred taels of silver?

Are you afraid that they will be too excited to watch it on the road and donate money to run away?

Su Qian opened her mouth wide, "When we came out, we already brought a lot of silver taels, and my aunt and grandmother also prepared enough." Why bother with my cousin and sister-in-law...... If such a thick pile is all silver tickets, how many should there be! I don't know how many denominations it is, if it's five hundred taels or one ......"

She whispered, "If it's five hundred taels and one piece, we'll be rich!" ”

Tsk, I have long heard that the Yuan family is rich, but I can't imagine that they are rich to such a point, and the wealth of such a rich country is handed over to them casually, and my cousin and sister-in-law are not afraid that the two of them will be greedy for money and run away?

Shi Xiaosi smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said shyly, "Take a look, don't you know?" ”

He carefully opened the fire paint, gently picked it up, and then opened it, and saw a wad of paper the size of a silver ticket.

But, sorry, it wasn't a silver ticket, it was a ......

Shi Xiaosi exclaimed, "What? What are the precautions for peaceful and friendly exchanges with Ke'er? What the hell is this? ”

Su Qian was also stunned, but her psychological quality was obviously much better than Shi Xiaosi, and she giggled after a while, "Ah, it turns out that this is it, the fifth sister-in-law really has a heart!" ”

She gently touched Shi Xiaosi, who looked incredulous and unacceptable, with her elbow, "I said, this is a good thing, although you can't accept it for a while, but when you get to Maozhou City, you will definitely be grateful for this book." ”

After a pause, her expression suddenly became serious, "Even the wealth of a rich country is also a floating cloud in front of this book." Trust me, teenager, you won't regret it! (To be continued......)
