Xiu Zhao was choked by her so lightly, but he didn't have a seizure, after all, this was really normal for him, so he didn't hear her words at all.

Since he couldn't persuade her anymore, he simply talked about something practical, so the young general decided to go straight to the point.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Don't do anything." His Royal Highness the county lord replied immediately after almost the last word of the young general's words.

"What?"

The major general actually knew what she meant, but reflexively asked again.

Fortunately, today's Chang'an County Lord is very good at talking, so I just heard her say it again very patiently.

"Whatever the situation is at the feast, you don't do anything, and don't say anything."

The more she spoke like this, the more uneasy Xiu Zhao became.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

She said these words without any hindrance, but the people who listened to them were already mixed.

"Peace of mind, the reason why I am saying this to you is also because we have been away from Beijing for three years after all."

Mu Changan now doesn't know if the emperor's temperament has changed otherwise compared to the past.

It's just that if she really touches the emperor's scales at that time, she will be fine, but she is worried that the emperor will anger others, especially those close to her.

Xiu Zhao was speechless, and his silent gesture of neither agreeing nor disagreeing was obviously a silent resistance.

"Ah Zhao, you are the only son of your father-in-law."

A heavy hammer fell, as if all the emotions could no longer be held back, Xiu Zhao looked up at her and scolded in a deep voice.

"You know that he is your father-in-law! It's a shame that you still know that you still have a father-in-law in this world! ”

The room was silent.

The people in this world who know that Prince Jiuzhang is the father-in-law of General Xiu Shao, except for Jiuwang, General Zhongyong, Xiu Zhao and Mu Chang'an.

There are only two Qi stewards in the Nine Chapters Palace, and the repairing stewards in the General's Mansion.

And the people in this world who know that General Da Yi Zhongyong is the father-in-law of Mu Chang'an, the prince of the Nine Chapters, are only four people who are still alive now.

General, Xiu Zhao, Mu Chang'an, and Qi Steward.

In the past, when Emperor Wu was still alive, as the only seedling of the Loyal and Brave General's Mansion, the young general Xiu Li, Xiu Li, was listed as the companion of the two princes from the middle palace at that time.

Since the founding of the First Emperor, the position of the loyal and brave general of the empire is very special in that it is not the position of a marquis, but it can be hereditary, and the position of a marquis has a title, but has no real power, which is not the case with the general's mansion.

The generals of the Loyal and Brave General's Mansion were all in charge of the 230,000 soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

What kind of glory it should be to be allowed by the emperor to hold heavy troops from generation to generation, everyone naturally has a scale in their hearts.

The Mu clan has been in charge of the lifeblood of the world for more than 600 years, and the Xiu clan in the mansion of the loyal and brave general has also been passed down from generation to generation for more than 600 years.

Therefore, at that time, Xiu Que was undoubtedly valuable, not to mention that he was famous for his bold and righteous deeds, and such a person was naturally popular wherever he went.

At least on the surface, this has always been the case, and later it turned out to be true, because in the court for so many years, there has never been gossip in the court about who Xiu Yu has had a grudge against someone.

Naturally, this is a later story, but I will not mention it for the time being, just say that General Xiu, who was the companion of the prince at that time, won the love of Emperor Wu as soon as he entered the palace.

Since the day Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he has been heavy on martial arts and light on literature, so he can be said to be very fond of Xiao Xiu Oak, who is still young but has solid basic skills and is willing to work hard.

Not to mention that when Taifu lectured later, the three children in the palace ate and slept together every day, went to school together, and went to school together, and the tacit understanding between playmates increased day by day.

In the long run, the relationship between the three of them will naturally grow by leaps and bounds.

Especially Xiu Oak and Mu Zhiyan, because the two are close in age, and Xiu Oak is the only son in the family.

Although Mu Zhiyan has a lot of brothers, his mother only left him a brother who is a fellow mother, that is, the first emperor, Emperor Renzong.

Renzong, who was still an ordinary prince who was not very favored, had a quiet temperament and a deep mind since he was a child, so he rarely had time to communicate with his younger brother.

So after Mu Zhiyan and Xiu Li met, they could almost say that they had nothing to talk about.

It was only later that King Yu wanted to compete for the crown prince's position, and Mu Zhiyan resolutely went to the border in order to become his brother-in-law's reliance on entering the East Palace.

Xiu Yu stayed in the capital, and also stayed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and later always went back and forth between the east and the capital, and it became extremely difficult for the two to even see each other.

But the brotherly affection that begins in adolescence is not something that ordinary feelings can speak of, it is naturally very strong and strong.

And this is reflected in the fact that the two of them have fought separately for many years, although they rarely communicate, but the brotherhood has not diminished in the slightest.

Even when Renzong was still alive in the past, he had long thought that the love between the two of them had long faded, after all, they were playmates when they were children, and when they got older, they were naturally easy to disperse.

Left is just human nature.

But in fact, as the two of them got older.

Each of them has gained more and more experience, increased more and more extraordinary knowledge, and broadened more and more horizons.

At the same time, the friendship between them has become stronger and stronger.

Later, the increasingly mellow brotherhood between the two of them was also tacitly extended to the next generation.

Fortunately, the relationship between their juniors is not inferior to that of their time.

Therefore, Xiu Oak often feels that the juniors are like this, which is also a great blessing for them from the older generation.

At the end of the first year of Ruihe, what no one knew was that before returning to the southern city, there was a small group of people who took advantage of the panic in the people and rushed out of the city when the city was in turmoil.

After several twists and turns, the elite men and horses of this team changed their appearance and went to the mansion of the loyal and brave general in Shengjing City.

At that time, Xiu Li, who had become the backbone of the Xiu clan and had already succeeded his father as the new loyal and brave general, had already faded from the spirit and fearlessness of his youth.

Instead, he was given the calmness and tenacity brought by years of rich experience and the mutual tilting of power in the court and officialdom.

It's just that even so, Xiu Li's hand pinching the corner of the letter couldn't help but tremble at that time, and he found that he really couldn't control the hand that was shaking badly even with all his strength.

Of the three pieces of letter contained in that letter, two of them were filled with dense words, and there were no secrets, nor any unfulfilled wishes, but they were all meant to be alone.

"Now that the southern border has long lost the opportunity, and the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, the opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and it will be a bloody battle to delay the fighters today."

"Those who serve in the army, or die of old age and sickness, or should be martyred for the country, I will return to Nanerlang for tens of thousands of years from now on, or will take the sky as the bed, and the earth as the quilt."

"I am a compatriot with the emperor's brother and mother, although I don't approve of his style of acting, but I ask myself that our brothers have never had any suspicion because of military power, so I won't have no face to meet my father and mother under Jiuquan."

"It is indeed the pleasure of my life to meet you."

"In my life, my father is brave, my mother is kind, and my two brothers, one of whom has already taken the first step to serve the emperor, and now I am going too."

"Brother Hengyong, I wish you good peace."

"In the past, I always felt that there were still many things to do, but now I feel that there is really nothing to do in this life."

"Regret is not necessarily another kind of fulfillment."

"There is one more thing that Brother Lao has to worry about, I only have one daughter in my life, I regard it as a treasure, and I only hope to be able to protect her in my life, choose a good son-in-law for her, and guard her life with her mother."

"I'm afraid it's not going to be right now."

"I hope my brother can see that day for me."

……

The words in the memories are still in my ears, and the letter is full of a man who stands up to the sky and the earth and is a son of man, a father, and a general of the army.

It is also the words of Tuogu.

Tuogu, doesn't this mean that the best friends thousands of miles away are already powerless to return to the war ahead.

Xiu Li knew very well in his heart that he was already determined to die and die for the country, so he had this letter.

Back then, the two of them simply passed the ceremony of acknowledging their relatives for the two children in private and returned separately, and they did not meet again in private after that.

In fact, the idea of visiting relatives at the beginning was very simple, and the reason why the military people did this was nothing more than to prevent that one day if the two of them were buried in the battlefield, the descendants would not wither and be deceived, and they would be down.

Naturally, this is also the meaning of mutual support.

In those years, Mu Zhiyan was in the south to protect the people, and Xiu Oak was not fighting bloodily in the east to protect the peace of the party, and the two of them actually knew that this day would come.

Those who serve in the army have long put life and death out of the way.

It's just that Xiu Oak didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

He's still so young, and his daughters haven't grown up yet.

Xiu Li knew that he probably didn't have the four seasons like spring in that letter in his life, which made that person happy to return to Nancheng.

So, let his son go for him and take a look, so that he might be able to see it too......

Let his son take care of the girl on behalf of the two old men.

At that time, it was only a very brief period of sentimentality, Xiu Li made a decision, regardless of the opposition of the elders in the clan, and insisted on sending Xiu Zhao to the army of the Rong family's silver armor to go back to the south together.

Xiu Li's attitude at that time was the first time in so many years that it was rarely tough, and none of the elders in the bluffing clan said anything again.

Later, Xiu Zhao followed Rong Jingqian all the way to the south through the path of the eldest princess Rongchen, and after repelling the coalition forces of Southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions, Rong Jingqian turned to the north, and Xiu Zhao stayed.

When Xiu Zhao asked, he stopped Mu Changan.

In fact, when her father was still alive, he had said more than once that if something happened to him, she had to serve her father-in-law with the gift of her children.

The father-in-law is actually an extremely indescribable existence for her.

In order not to give authority to others, she has long been accustomed to being called a loyal and brave general.

After a long time, I slowly forgot about this relationship with him.

What's more, Mu Changan's understanding of the stepfather in Shengjing City who he has not met for many years is really pitiful.

Her memories of him, in addition to the letters exchanged between them, are all the images of the loyal and brave general with a very serious face when she was a child.

"Your Highness, please see you outside."

At this moment, Aigar's voice sounded outside the door.

Mu Changan brought Aijia back to the capital from Xunyang City, originally planning to bring it back to the palace directly, but then somehow put people here again, specifically for Baihe to do the procedures that need to be done in the capital for the relocation of black clothes.
