Chapter 109: Opportunity or Hesitation

Finally sent Lu Li away, An Xiabai turned his eyes and saw Zhou's somewhat restrained appearance standing next to him, and couldn't help frowning.

She tapped the empty seat next to the bed and asked Zhou to come and sit down.

Zhou was cramped and uneasy, and he didn't dare to go over at all.

"The general told me everything, and he promised me that there would be no more concealments in the future, so you don't have to be too restrained." Because Lu Li didn't want to expose the family affairs for the time being, An Xiabai didn't rashly call Zhou's mother, and still referred to her as Aunt Zhou, in Zhou's surprised sight, she smiled gently, "It's all family." ”

"How could he tell you all this?" Zhou was puzzled.

The crimes committed by their family back then were not small, and it was too late for Lu Li to conceal them, how could he take the initiative to explain?

An Xiabai sighed and said: "Husband and wife should be frank with each other, right, the relationship between you and the general can't be hidden for too long, after I guessed it, the general will confess." ”

Zhou's expression was complicated, but he didn't express an opinion on this matter, just brought hot tea and handed it to An Xiabai.

After a long while, the doctor finally arrived, and after seeing Anxia's pale and haggard face, after checking his pulse again, he stroked his beard and said, "It's not a big deal." ”

An Xiabai raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a shallow smile: "I just said that my husband was too nervous-"

Before the words fell, he was sent a roll of the eyes by the doctor: "Madam, your physical condition, whether it is good or not, is not bad, but it is weaker than ordinary people." Although you are not seriously ill or in pain, physical weakness is also important, so it is best not to work too hard during this time, rest more, and do not tire yourself. ”

Halfway through his words, as if he was afraid that his words would not be convincing, he added: "If you continue like this, sooner or later something will have problems with your body." ”

"Is it really that serious?" She lowered her eyes and stared at her white wrist.

At the same time, the twins were messing around her, and when they saw her suddenly quiet, they seemed to sense something, and they fell silent, rubbing around her like two kittens.

An Xiabai's heart softened.

After sending off the doctor, what Zhou saw when she returned to the room was exactly the appearance of her smiling lightly on the tip of the child's nose.

"Madame, I have something to say." Zhou said hesitantly.

"You just say it, they are not outsiders, so there is no need to be formal." An Xia Bai looked back and said warmly.

Zhou plucked up his courage and finally said the words in his heart: "When I sent the doctor away, the doctor said that your weak body is because you have not taken good care of the child after giving birth, but overworked the root of the disease, and if you want to take care of your body, you must rest more. In the future, you should not care about the messy things outside, after all, the children are still young, you just don't care about your body, and you have to think about the children, right? ”

Even Zhou opened his mouth to persuade him, and it seems that he has indeed gone too far.

"I understand what you mean," An Xiabai said helplessly, "I'll go to the restaurant to explain some things later, and I'll come back, and in the future, I'll leave all the outside affairs to others to take care of." ”

Zhou found that his persuasion was useful, and he couldn't help but smile.

At the same time, the baby on the bed hugged An Xiabai's arm and stretched out her hand to let her hug.

"It's kind of like a husband." An Xiabai gently held him in her arms, and then reached out and tapped his cheek with her soft fingertips.

Seeing this, the other child also muttered and stretched out her hand to ask An Xiabai to hug herself, but she only had one pair of hands, and her sick body couldn't hold two children at once, so she could only let Zhou come.

Zhou carefully held him in his arms, as if he were holding a fragile piece of porcelain.

"It's a bit similar, and his temper is also very similar, when he is young and ignorant, he also likes to be clingy, and he cries as soon as he is put down, and he can't stop it." Zhou recalled the events of the old year, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.

There is no need for her to be frank, An Xiabai can guess that she is talking about Lu Li.

She didn't know anything about the young husband, so she was a little curious: "If the general had any interesting things to do when he was a child, can Aunt Zhou tell me?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou's mouthful.

The things about Lu Li have been clearly remembered by her over the years, after all, they have been separated for many years, and when the mother misses her child, she can only rely on memories to comfort herself.

At this time, Lu Li was in the Liwang Mansion, and he didn't know that his old bottom was picked off by his mother.

When he saw Li Wenfeng in the Liwang Mansion, he said in surprise: "General, why are you here." ”

Li Wenfeng smiled, his originally dark and energetic face was haggard due to illness: "You can come, why can't I come?" ”

In this huge place, the only person Lu Li dared to trust was Li Wenfeng, who brought him back from the border pass, so he naturally showed a worried look at him: "It's the first time that King Li has been summoned so urgently, what is the matter, general, do you know?" ”

"Yes, I'm here for this too." Li Wenfeng's puzzled gaze at Shanglu Li, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, lowered his voice and said: "The border pass is urgent, the enemy army has stationed a large number of troops not far from the border city for some reason, although they have not done anything at present, but no one is 100% sure that they will not do anything, and the generals of the border pass speculate that they will attack the city, so that the imperial court can deal with it as soon as possible." ”

Not long after the war subsided, there was gunsmoke to rise, Lu Li was a little unbearable, but he was helpless: "You should really take precautions early." ”

Otherwise, when the enemy army implements its own plan, it will be the first to move, and they will be the one who suffers.

"Now King Li is having a headache at this time," Seeing the little guy who led the way coming from their side, Li Wenfeng gently patted Lu Li's shoulder and said with hope, "I think this is your chance." ”

Lu Li was silent, but his tightened brows and solemn expression already explained his heart.

"It turns out that the two generals are here, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with the villain." The little servant stepped forward respectfully and took Lu Li and Li Wenfeng to the main hall.

At this time, there were a lot of people gathered in the main hall, all of them were the henchmen who King Li usually bought, they sat in their positions one by one, their expressions were complicated or laughing or annoyed, all of them were quiet, and the atmosphere in the hall was surprisingly quiet, until the little guy who led the way screamed: "General Lu and General Li have arrived." ”

Everyone turned their eyes to see today's protagonist.

King Li was even more exaggerated, walking directly to them and welcoming people through the door, until they had all found a place to sit down, and then began to get down to business.

"Maybe some adults still don't know the real reason why this king invited you to come here today, so this king will explain the incident now." King Li cleared his throat and said, "This morning, the border pass urgently reported that the enemy troops outside the border were about to move, and it seemed that they did not want to offend our territory, and now the emperor is uneasy at this time. ”

Although the war has not yet started, it is always good to take precautions early.

King Li frowned and asked, "All of you are great talents, can you brainstorm and give this king a suggestion, and then tell this king how to solve it at this time?" ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and put forward their ideas one after another.

As a result, King Li was not satisfied, either disgusted that the suggestion was too gentle, or disgusted that the plan was not easy to implement, and finally he took a fancy to the strategy of a strategist.

Taking precautions and sending one's own people over first, on the one hand, can cultivate one's own troops, and on the other hand, it is also to put an end to hidden dangers at the border gates.

King Li's desire to adopt his approach has led to the choice of generals becoming the biggest problem at the moment.

Most of his subordinates are civilian officials, and there are very few people who can lead troops to fight, let alone those who can calm down and prepare forces at the border pass, which is even more difficult.

Lu Li is the one who is valued.

King Li knew that he was inevitably a bit of a strong man when he spoke, so he let his henchmen speak.

"Lord, the ministers think it's best to leave this matter to General Lu." The henchman fell to his knees and suggested.

Lu Li saw what they meant next to him, it was nothing more than to let himself go to the border to win glory for the country, he felt nothing, he used to travel alone like the wind, and it didn't matter where he went, but now it's different.

An Xiabai has not settled down in the capital for the time being, and the two children in the family are still young, if they can't come back from the battlefield, what can they do?

So Lu Li was a little hesitant.

"What does General Lu think, do you want to go to this battlefield?" King Li asked with a smile, "Now is a great opportunity for you to make contributions and consolidate your position in front of the emperor." ”

King Li hoped that Lu Li would go to the border to guard the town.

After Lu Li was silent and thought about it for a long time, he wanted to shake his head and refuse, but Li Wenfeng next to him saw his thoughts, held the person down, and said first: "Lord, the subordinate has something to say." ”

In front of so many people, King Li paid great attention to his image, and did not blame Lu Li's hesitation and Li Wenfeng's suddenness, but still nodded with a good-natured smile: "General Li has something to say." ”

"General Lu's family has added Ding, you must have heard of it, his two children are not yet half a year old, and his wife is weak, and it is the time when he needs her husband and father to accompany her," Li Wenfeng said frankly, "This matter is indeed an opportunity for General Lu, but it is also a major event that can cause him to hesitate." ”

Most of you here are family people, and they also have wives and children, Lu Li's hesitation, they can understand it, and they have pleaded with King Li: "Lord Wang, the situation in General Lu's family is indeed quite special now, do you want to give him a little time, let him think about it, or go back and talk to his family first?" After all, the battlefield is dangerous. ”

In order to create an amiable image for the people below, King Li hurriedly nodded: "Give time to think about it, and go back to discuss it with your family, it really should, it's because this king is too anxious." In this way, General Lu, this king has given you two days to think about it, just to discuss with your family whether you should go or not, how about you give this king an exact answer two days later? ”

It's not about catching ducks on the shelves, which is a good thing for Lu Oak.

He lowered his head and said with a solemn expression: "Thank you for your understanding, the ministers will definitely seize the time to think about it, and they will definitely give an exact answer in two days." ”

King Li nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile on his face: "I hope that after two days, General Lu will not disappoint this king." ”
