After giving an order to reward An Xiabai and the restaurant, the emperor was not idle, and in the morning, in front of all the civil and military officials, he raised his voice and asked Lu Li: "General Lu, if the enemy army comes to invade my border, I will give you another chance to choose again, are you really willing to temporarily put down your wife and children to go to the border to fight?" ”

Lu Li knelt down and saluted respectfully: "No matter how many times the emperor asks, the ministers are always the same choice." ”

"If all the soldiers and all the officials were like General Lu, I might have a lot less trouble," the emperor sighed while admiring, "It's a pity that not everyone in the court is as bold as General Lu after all." ”

All the officials with evil intentions trembled when they heard this voice.

This is the highest praise that the emperor can give, and when a great general was appreciated by him before, he also valued him so much.

It's a pity that the creation made people, and that one didn't resist some kind of temptation, and the emperor was jealous, which led to his later unhappy ending.

Having a wife and children in the capital is Lu Li's concern and his weakness, I hope that the person in front of him must remember his heart and not be confused by all kinds of temptations from the outside world.

Officials thought to themselves.

Just as they were in a trance, the emperor asked them to present the report of the battle at the border pass, as well as the documents that had just been sent by the enemy country recently.

The document said that they originally wanted to marry the thirteen princesses, so that the two countries could marry Qin and Jin, but the emperor was ungrateful and did not want to marry the thirteen princesses.

So they decided to do it all over the country.

The emperor lowered his eyes, probably because he didn't sleep well last night, which caused his expression to be a little haggard: "It's not that I don't want to kiss, but the thirteenth princess, alas." ”

At this point, he couldn't bear to continue, but Baiguan already understood what he was going to say.

The assassination of the thirteenth princess has long spread in the capital.

The officials who fought the main battle before still insisted on suing for peace, saying that the royal family was not only a son, no matter how bad it was, it was okay to select a princess from the side branch and send it over to make peace, in short, there was no need to make a big move.

"After all, war is a thing that does no harm, and please think twice about it."

"I thought about it for a long time last night, and I really should think twice about this matter." His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the crisp sound echoed in the palace from time to time, "I still decided to send General Lu and General Li to fight at the border pass, after all, war is the way to do it once and for all." ”

The official of the lord and the other was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "The assassination of the thirteenth princess is a fact, as long as the misunderstanding is made clear, you can still get a chance for peace-"

Before he could finish speaking, the emperor shook his head, and then laid out the pros and cons in front of the hundred officials.

"The thirteenth princess was assassinated, no matter who the murderer is, we are all the parties who have breached the contract, if you want to continue the previous agreement with your relatives, you must pay several times more than the previous price, this is definitely not something that can be settled by marrying a princess in the past," the emperor said with a solemn expression, "Maybe you have to cut the land and sue for peace, and the legacy of the ancestors, I think most of you are much clearer than me, and this matter of ceding the land and seeking peace must not happen." ”

Although he is not a Ming Jun, he is not willing to let his history be notorious.

For now, there is only one war.

Realizing this, the officials began to fall silent.

Only Lu Li, not only did he not shrink his neck like other officials, nor did he lower his face, but took two steps forward, and then knelt on the ground.

"The minister is willing to take orders and send troops."

The expression on the emperor's face would only ease slightly when he saw Lu Li.

"I believe in General Lu." He had already ordered someone to draw up a holy decree, and now that Lu Li was out of the ranks, Li Wenfeng followed closely and said that he would be ordered to send troops, which happened to save him a lot of trouble.

The emperor immediately ordered someone to fetch the holy decree, and then handed it over to Lu Li.

Among the civil and military officials, the only people he was willing to believe in were Lu Li and Li Wenfeng, so he told with anticipation: "Two Aiqing, don't let me down." ”

"The minister will not fail in his mission." Lu Li and Li Wenfeng said in unison.

As soon as the early dynasty ended, the emperor should have invited Lu Li and Li Wenfeng to the imperial study to talk, but he understood that suddenly Li Wenfeng and Lu Li had families, and they should be given some time to go back and explain, so he did not forcibly leave people behind, but let them go.

Regarding the expedition, Li Wenfeng has experienced a hundred battles, so he can naturally see it, and the wife at home can also see it, but he is a little worried about Lu Li.

"What are you going to tell Madame when you go back?" Li Wenfeng patted Lu Li's shoulder.

The latter shook his head silently, indicating that he didn't know how to explain it.

Although he knew that playing in the war was his best choice, An Xiabai would unconditionally agree to his choice, but now that it was time to really separate, he was still a little reluctant.

The bend in the young man's heart, Li Wenfeng also had it when he was young, he sighed and said, "I'll help you say." ”

They returned to Lu's house first, and after entering the door, they were told that An Xiabai was going to help in the restaurant, so they followed.

"Just drink two glasses of practice." Li Wenfeng sighed and said, "The emperor's decree said that we will leave for the border in a few days, and there may not be much chance to drink well, so we will take this opportunity to go to the restaurant for a good meal." ”

Lu Li nodded and said yes, and then asked people to invite Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong: "After we came to the capital, we rarely had the opportunity to sit and drink together. ”

The general nodded with a smile and said, "It's all up to you." ”

They came to the restaurant together, and then were surprised by An Xiabai, who was standing at the counter to settle accounts, and invited to the box on the second floor.

"Husband, and General Li, why do you have time to come here today?" An Xiabai had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

"Let's tell you something." Li Wenfeng coughed lightly, and then excused himself by saying that he was in a hurry to go out and leave time and space for the young couple.

Lu Li hesitated and said: "Madam, we are going to the border gate, this time I came here to tell you, because the border situation is urgent, and we may have to leave in a few days." ”

Although he had been prepared in his heart, the smile on An Xiabai's face froze for a moment when he heard the news.

However, she quickly restrained her emotions and said with a smile: "Husband, this is precious." ”

"I will." Lu Li's mood was relieved.

Some words don't have to be spoken, just a look, a mouth, they can understand each other's minds.

Whatever happens, she'll be waiting for him to come back.

"If there is any gossip, let's go back in the evening and talk slowly, otherwise if we lose control of our emotions later, it will not be good for General Li to see it." An Xiabai walked to Lu Li's side, rubbing his fingertips on the menu, "I'll go to the back kitchen to cook some side dishes that you usually like to eat, as well as the dishes that the general likes, you will leave the capital in a few days, I guess you have to take this opportunity to have a good drink, and I will make you some snacks!" ”

Lu Li agreed softly, and then pressed An Xiabai in his arms for a while before letting go of his hand.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in a restaurant, Li Wenfeng might come back later, and he didn't even want to let go of his hand.

After all, in a few days, after going to the border gate, it will be difficult to touch the true tenderness.

"By the way, Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng will also come over later, madam, when you cook, remember to cook for two more people."

An Xiabai's mind flashed Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong's usual favorite appetizers, and he nodded to show that he understood.

She let go of Lu Li's hand and turned around and went out, wanting to go straight to the kitchen, but after going out, she saw Li Wenfeng around the corner, he stood quietly in place, I don't know how long he stayed.

Thinking that the other party deliberately excused himself and left just now, he wanted to leave a private space for himself and Lu Li to talk about Ha, An Xiabai was very grateful and bowed directly.

Li Wenfeng was taken aback: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I heard from my husband that in a few days, the general and my husband will leave the capital, so I want to ask the general for something." She said with a sincere face, "The husband is relative to you, the general, you are still a newcomer on the battlefield, and when you are marching and fighting, please take care of it!" ”

It is the concern of a wife for her husband.

Li Wenfeng also has a wife, so he can understand, he immediately raised his hand and slapped it on his chest, and said with a loud smile: "You can rest assured, Lu Li, this kid, when you are in the barracks, I will definitely help you take care of people properly, what will he look like when he leaves, how much weight and height, and when he comes back, I guarantee that he will still be the same." ”

But in fact, Lu Li is like a fish in water in the military camp, and there are few times when he needs to be taken care of, Li Wenfeng just wants to take care of it, and he doesn't have much chance.

Now he is boasting about what Haikou said, but he just wants An Xiabai to feel a little more at ease when he is in the capital.

"Thank you, General." She curled her lips and smiled slightly.

"Why do you still call me General?" Li Wenfeng suddenly pulled up his face, "Xiaodong Xiaoxue has called me grandpa, why don't you understand the rules at all, you are also a relative, aren't you?" ”

An Xiabai was slightly stunned, and it took a long time to understand the meaning of his words, and said with a smile, "Godfather." ”

"Yes, yes, I still have some eyesight." Li Wenfeng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, your daughter, I will definitely help you do what you tell me." ”

An Xiabai wanted to thank him, but he felt that thanking him was too rusty, so he agreed softly.

At this time, Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong came to the restaurant together.

Zhang Xiaodong had a smile on his face, and after entering the door, he pushed Liu Fengfeng in the direction of the counter: "Manly man, if you have something to say, how can you become a big thing in the future?" ”

Liu Fengfeng sighed, walked to the counter in his playful gaze, and also walked to the girl in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Lu Liu'er subconsciously raised her head and saw Liu Fengfeng's face, her expression was slightly different, "Is Little Brother Liu here to find the general, he just came, and now he should be in the box on the second floor, you can go up to find him." ”

"No, no, I mainly want to see you." Then he gritted his teeth, took out a letter from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Liuer's hand.
