At first, when the emperor asked Lu Li to go to court, Lu Li refused, everyone has their own temper, and he is no exception, why should he be inexplicably suspicious, and he still has to work for the emperor?

Suspicion became a thorn in his heart, and he didn't say much, but he kept thinking about it in his heart.

After the emperor ordered someone to visit Lu Li's injury for the third time and returned in vain, An Xiabai stood up to change the situation.

"Husband, I know that you must be uncomfortable in your heart, but you can't be so willful, the people above were originally suspicious of you, and now you are naming you and not going, doesn't it give them an excuse for suspicion?"

Lu Li lowered his face and did not speak.

The most difficult hurdle in his heart is the death of Ruqing and Hua Qiqi, if it weren't for Feng Bailin, they wouldn't have had an accident.

And he doesn't even have the ability to take revenge.

An Xiabai sighed, slowly walked behind him, and gently patted his back with a soft hand: "Husband, you still go to the court as usual, I recently heard from the guests of the restaurant that in a place not far from the capital, the mountain bandits have been rampant recently, and everyone who passes by has to detain and rob people or money, and it has become more and more raging recently, and the emperor suddenly summoned you to the court to discuss the matter, which must have something to do with it." ”

She was afraid that Lu Li would not let go, so she put down the heaviest bargaining chip and said, "Husband, even if you don't think about the court, you should also think about the common people, right?" ”

This time it finally hit Lu Oak's sore spot.

Early the next morning, he went to court as usual.

It turns out that An Xiabai guessed right, and the emperor specially focused on Lu Li this time to let him go to court, because of the rampant mountain bandits.

"Everyone in the Qing family should have heard about the recent mountain bandits, right?" The emperor was in a high position, and his face was clouded, "I heard that even the children of local parents and officials were robbed by mountain bandits when they went out, and more than half of them were killed or injured, which is really infuriating. ”

The ministers said yes one after another, and also told all the relevant information they had recently gathered about the mountain bandits.

"Now that you all understand the situation, then give me some advice, how to solve this mountain banditry's rampant matter?"

The officials looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up and be the leader.

In the end, it was the crown prince who spoke: "Father Qi, the sons think that the local officials are inactive, and the matter of suppressing bandits cannot be handed over to them, nor can they send civilian officials to the local supervision, but should send military generals over, and it is best to bring the army, so that the mountain bandits can be wiped out." ”

The emperor nodded approvingly: "Then who does the prince think is competent in the court?" ”

The crown prince said the names of several generals in a row, but they were all denied by the emperor, and it was obvious that he already had a suitable candidate in mind.

"I think that the most suitable person to be sent by the DPRK to suppress the bandits is General Lu."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

Who doesn't know that Lu Li was involved in a lawsuit some time ago?

I heard that he was lynched in prison, and now that his body has just recovered, wouldn't he let him die if he rashly slapped Lu Li to suppress the bandits?

Immediately, an official jumped out and denied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Lu's injuries have not yet recovered, and it is not suitable to suppress bandits now, after all, those mountain bandits are insidious and cunning, and they are familiar with the terrain and human conditions. ”

The emperor's eyebrows were slightly raised.

He didn't listen to anyone, so he wanted to hear Lu Li's opinion: "What does General Lu think?" ”

Lu Li knelt down on one knee without hesitation: "The minister is willing to go." ”

Even if it is not for the royal family, it should be for the people of the world, and suppressing bandits is what a military general should do, and he can't deny all the people of the world because of his own selfishness.

Lu Li's atmosphere made the officials who were relatively familiar with the situation secretly have a little admiration in their hearts.

After being inexplicably suspected by the emperor, the only person who can still consider the people of the world with righteousness and awe-inspiring is Lu Li.

"It is worthy of General Lu, and it is indeed a contemporary hero." The Emperor squinted and smiled.

To lead the troops to suppress the bandits, Lu Li didn't confess to An Xiabai until he was lying in bed at night: "Madam, I have to go out again in a few days?" ”

At that time, An Xia Bai had just laid down, and when he heard this, he sat up again: "What did you say, you want to leave again?" ”

Until Lu Li's fate in the future, she let herself relax and not think too much from the beginning, but in the face of such frequent partings, she still couldn't stand it, thinking of Lu Li's departure and not knowing when she would be able to come back, An Xia's eyes were white: "The injury on your body has just healed not long ago, how can you go again?" ”

Lu Li knew that she was worried about herself, so she gently patted her back to reassure: "The previous injuries were just skin injuries, and they didn't hurt their muscles and bones, and they had already been taken care of by Mrs. ”

An Xiabai glared at him, and the whole person leaned into his arms.

"I know that Madame can't bear me, so why shouldn't I?" Lu Li's words were full of helplessness, "But the mountain bandits are raging, someone has to rush over to deal with it, and now there are not many generals who can be used by the imperial court, and General Li, who has the most experience, is now recuperating at home, and they really have no way to find me here." ”

An Xiabai didn't speak again, just lowered her eyebrows and looked thoughtful.

After asking Lu Li about the time when he was ready to leave, An Xiabai went straight to the Yang family's shop.

Yang Xiao happened to be there.

When the two met, it was like an old friend meeting, and they could even talk very openly: "It's rare for Mrs. Lu to come to my side." ”

An Xia Bai smiled lightly, and the two sentences of greeting finally got to the point.

She wanted the Yang family shop to make a pair of knee pads and elbow pads.

"It's for the general, right?" Yang Xiao couldn't help but smile and quipped, "I don't know when this item will be wanted?" ”

"The sooner the better." An Xiabai took out the silver ticket and put it on the counter, and said sincerely, "My husband will go out in a few days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, so I hope you can do it as soon as possible." ”

Yang Xiao's eyes rolled, and he was sure that it was no problem.

Originally, An Xiabai was worried that the world where the protective gear would be sent would be delayed, but what he never expected was that it only took a short time to be ready, and it happened to be stuck the day before Lu Li's departure.

That night, she called Lu Li into the room and asked him to try on the newly sent protective gear for himself.

"These are all made by me according to the size of my husband, I hope they will follow my husband all the way to the battlefield and protect you."

An Xiabai's tenderness made Lu Li's heart warm slightly: "Madam, you are so good." ”

Each piece of protective gear is just the right size for the oak.

An Xiabai carefully compared it, and only after making sure that there was indeed no big problem with the protective gear did he put his mind at ease: "This time I went to suppress the bandits, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, husband, you must protect yourself, don't cross your body, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Lu Li nodded with a smile.

"Since having children, Madame's words have become more and more numerous."

Is this disgusted that she talks too much?

An Xia raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and pinched his arm hard: "Husband, you have changed, you never disliked me because of my verbosity." ”

Lu Li was so frightened that he hugged the person, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, madam, you misunderstood!" ”

Seeing that the other party was in a hurry and wanted to explain, An Xiabai couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, you don't have to explain, even if you don't want to hear some things and don't want me to say them, I must say, who let me marry you?" ”

The two of them hugged each other tightly, silence better than sound.

The warmth of the pulse flowed around the two of them, and for a while, they were a little uncontrollable.

The red candles were extinguished, the veils swayed gently, and only the breeze that slipped in through the cracks in the windows from time to time witnessed their affection.

The next day, when An Xiabai woke up, the bed on the other side was already cold, and after asking the maidservant, he found out that Lu Li had already set off.

She blushed and complained about Lu Li.

The old lady Feng of the General's Mansion, that is, the Jiang family, came to the Lu family at this time.

"The old lady is here?"

An Xia Bai was excited, and his sleepiness suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared, "I'll go to the front hall to greet me!" ”

She hurriedly freshened up and trotted all the way to the living room.

At that time, the old lady was taking a sip of tea, and when she saw her hurrying over, a gentle smile immediately hung on the corner of her lips.

"I didn't sleep well today, so I got up a little late, and I hope the old lady will forgive me for my neglect." An Xia Bai bowed.

She has ten percent respect for Li Wenfeng and his family, not to mention that Lu Li had the opportunity to jump up because of Li Wenfeng, just to say that the Li family's help to them these days, just those are enough to make An Xia Bai remember for a lifetime.

The old lady smiled gently, and raised her hand to beckon An Xiabai to sit beside her.

"It's my own abrupt rudeness, how can I blame you for being slack."

There were a few strands of broken hair on Anxia's white cheeks that she didn't have time to get, and the old lady saw it and helped her to the back of her head: "Since your back is sore, don't take too big steps, it's easy to hurt yourself, and it's not right for you to trot all the way just now." ”

An Xia's white cheeks turned red when he said this.

Shame!

It's all because Lu Li's physical strength is too good.

An Xiabai coughed lightly, ordered his subordinates to bring pastries to the old lady, and greeted the old lady cordially, until the people were greeted with a smile on their faces.

"Every time I see you, I feel very kind, I guess the two of us are fateful." The old lady took An Xiabai's hand and talked to her with a smile, "I came here today, mainly to chat with you, you are a bride with two children, I am afraid that you will be bored after General Lu leaves the capital, now it seems that you should be quite open." ”

"What if you can't see it?" When An Xiabai faced the old lady, he also felt inexplicably cordial, "The duty of a general is like this, and I can't speak." ”

The old lady's gaze became more and more gentle: "Will you regret it?" ”

An Xiabai didn't expect her to ask such a question, and shook her head with a smile: "I have never regretted marrying a general." ”

She smiled firmly, reminding the old lady of another person.

"I suddenly remembered my daughter-in-law, when she was waiting to give birth at home, and when my son went to the border to fight, I asked her the same question," cloudy eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, "Guess what, her answer at that time was the same as yours, if I wasn't sure that she had no brothers and sisters, I couldn't help but suspect that you were related to her, the two of you are really alike." ”
