Sitting in the official palace of Fengcheng, Su Yu paced back and forth, almost grinding through the ground under his feet.

From time to time, one by one, the colonels who rode fast horses back to report the news came to report, from Xiao Yi to the city gate to call for battle, to the other party to meet and kill each other, and then to Xiao Yi's pretended defeat, Da Kui entered from the west gate, all of which were expected by Su Yu.

Maybe it's because of the care, although Su Yu knows that this plan should work, but the bloody battle ahead, in the end, she remembers the worried people, so it wasn't until the last junior colonel reported the good news, saying that the Beidi soldiers were defeated and fled, and Da Kui had occupied the North Gate Pass, Su Yu's heart gradually let go, and then asked the people on the side for some melons, fruits and tea, and waited for them to return victoriously in the house with Erlang's legs crossed.

And, at this time, Su Yu sighed leisurely, no wonder you have to be wise in life, just because eating by physical strength is much more fortunate than eating by your brain, for example, she is now sipping tea here, Da Kui and Xiao Yi are probably sweating at this time, drinking cold water to rectify.

Thinking like this, Su Yu immediately left some melons and fruits on the table to Da Kui, after all, it is not easy to fight, although he has won, but he will be beaten a few times.

As for Xiao Yi, Su Yu glanced at the melons and fruits on the table, Xiao Yi had money, and he wouldn't be bad if he wanted it, but she wouldn't mind sharing a point.

After waiting for an hour or two leisurely, when Xiao Yi first arrived at the door, a guard who delivered the holy decree entered the mansion one step ahead of Xiao Yi.

As soon as the holy decree arrived, everyone present knelt down to receive the decree, and Su Yu also knelt on the ground, listening to the guard read the contents of the holy decree aloud.

The more she listened, Su Yu turned her face sideways to look at Xiao Yi, and saw that his face was as usual, and she didn't see the aggrieved atmosphere, but in her heart, she was a little upset for Xiao Yi.

The meaning of this holy decree is not to praise and encourage Xiao Yi to retreat from the Beidi army, but to blame him for not being ordered by the emperor to lead troops privately, and it is thanks to the emperor's magnanimity that Xiao Yi was allowed to make up for his mistakes this time and no longer investigate further. In the end, the holy decree also specifically stated that Xiao Yi should return to Beijing immediately and not stay at the border pass.

Su Yu's heart was shocked, if Xiao Yi returned to Beijing at this time, who would be stationed at the border pass that had just been settled?

Or perhaps, Su Yu thought, although over the years, the Xiao family has been trying their best to hold their own abilities, for fear that the emperor will be suspicious, but the emperor is still a little jealous in his heart. Maybe once General Xiao Ce dies, the current emperor will relax his mind a little, and then recruit Xiao Yi back to Beijing to be raised as a gentleman, which can not only show the emperor's grace and benevolence, but also the threat of the Xiao family to him seems to be nothing.

But Su Yu was puzzled, the Xiao family has no threat, and the superior is not afraid of the threat of Beidi? Aren't Liang Hong and Wei Tong, who are plotting against each other, a threat?

Or is it that what the emperor is jealous of is the name of the Xiao family's virtue.

When the decree was read, the people gave verbal thanks to the Lord Long. Su Yu saw Xiao Yi take the holy decree, handed it to Zicheng behind him, then nodded, answered, and set off for Beijing three days later.

The guard who delivered the decree bowed to Xiao Yi and said respectfully: "The general's meaning, the little one will return immediately and tell Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, the veteran in charge on the side stepped forward and led the guard to the back hall to eat and rest, Su Yu got up to look at Xiao Yi, and saw that he was still not angry, so he simply shrugged his shoulders and comforted: "It's good to go back to Beijing, at least you don't have to be here to drink the whistling northwest wind." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yi responded, and his eyes were faintly dark.

Su Yu was about to speak again to advise, but he heard Xiao Yi say: "It's okay, after returning to Beijing, I can concentrate on having a child." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes to look at Su Yu, pulled her hair, and said in a low voice: "When the time comes, I will have to bother Madame." ”

Su Yu's eyes widened, "You ........"

"Let's not talk about it." Xiao Yi's expression changed, and he suddenly became serious, "A few soldiers beside me have positions in the army before, but it is the little brother of Da Kui, I need to borrow one from you, before coming back, he has been arranged to be on duty at the North Gate Pass, and he readily agreed, I don't think I can go back with you." ”

Su Yu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he said worriedly: "Although Da Kui is brave, he is inexperienced. ”

"Don't worry, I have arranged two veterans to assist, with them, within a year, the north gate will be fine."

When Su Yu heard this, he put his mind at ease and muttered: "This is also good, and Da Kui's wish has been fulfilled." ”

"It's more than that." Xiao Yi looked at the distant sky on the border and said in a deep voice: "The border is stable, and my father's wish has been fulfilled." ”

Su Yu nodded, seeing Xiao Yi sweeping the melon and fruit snacks on the table in the room, he walked inside, Su Yu remembered the veteran who injured Xiao Yi's father with a dark arrow, and asked: "The traitor who shot the arrow can be killed." ”

Xiao Yi's steps paused for a moment, and then walked forward, "He didn't behead him, he shot the crossbow arrow, and after helping the Beidi people occupy the North Gate Pass, he crashed to death at the gate of the Pass." ”

Su Yu was shocked and puzzled: "Why? I have already betrayed my lord for glory, why do you want to die so tragically?"

"The Beidi people infiltrated Daliang in disguise and arrested his wife, daughter and grandson, and threatened him to cooperate with him inside and outside, and after the north gate was broken and his family was released, he took the blame and died at the pass he had guarded all his life."

Su Yu listened, and his nose was sour, if he put aside the righteousness of the family and the country, only according to human ethics, there was nothing wrong with the veteran, but he did so, General Xiao Ce, who defended the family and the country, was not wrong, and there was nothing wrong with the people of Beimen Pass who died under the knife of the Beidi people because of him, and many things in this world cannot be measured by a single right or wrong word.

Looking at Xiao Yi, Su Yu asked softly, "Then, do you hate?" ”

Xiao Yi stood still, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "Father said that as a general, Rong Ma's life is the best fate, if he doesn't hate, I won't hate either." ”

Su Yu looked at it, and appreciated Xiao Yi more and more in his heart, there are a few people in this world who can easily extinguish the hatred in their hearts, a heroic figure like General Xiao Ce, although the son Xiao Yi sometimes has some problems, but when it comes to the overall essence, he is still a good person.

Thinking of this, Su Yu looked at Xiao Yi in front of him, which was also much more pleasing to the eyes, and seeing that he was a little thirsty, he poured the tea in front of him and handed it to him with a smile.

Xiao Yi looked at Su Yu's rare and gentle movements, and the full cup in front of him, and commented: "The wine is full of respect, the tea is full of deception, although the rules in the general's mansion are not too strict, in the end, it is also a big family, Yu'er should pay attention to it next time." ”

Su Yu reached out and picked up the table, put the pears that had been stored for a winter in his mouth, took a crisp bite, looked at Xiao Yi, and now he understands that he actually kicked his nose and face, and he was talking about this face!

Xiao Yi's mind was sharp, and when he saw that he stepped on the cat's tail, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Da Kui's little brother's wish is to protect the family and defend the country, you grow up together, what is your wish?" ”

Su Yu listened, chewed the pears in his mouth, raised his head and thought about it, and said honestly: "I want to be a hero who wanders the rivers and lakes!" As he spoke, he poured a pool of water the size of a copper coin on the table with a teapot, and then dipped his fingers in it, and drew a map on the table crookedly.

Now Su Yu pointed to the map he drew and showed Xiao Yi and said: "I want to go all over the country, from here and there, eat all over the country, make friends with heroes from all walks of life, punish the evil and promote the good, hoe the strong and help the weak, and pull out a knife to help each other when the road is uneven. ”

Xiao Yi looked at it, nodded, and praised: "It's really good, now, half of it has been realized." ”

Su Yu listened, "Which half?" ”

Xiao Yi hooked his lips and smiled, "The beautiful young man has been found, and he happens to be wandering in the future, so he can accompany you and go to the rivers and lakes for a while." ”

Su Yu disagreed, "If they don't have time, I can go myself." ”

Xiao Yi indifferently seduced, and said profoundly: "I have people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Su Yu was disdainful, "Hello? ”

Xiao Yi's tea choked in his throat, "Master." ”

Su Yu suddenly dogged and refilled the tea for Xiao Yi, "What person?" ”

"My master's master."

Su Yu's eyes instantly burst into stars, "It is rumored that the old man Changhe has become an immortal, do you know where he is?" ”

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded.

"Where's his old man?"

"He goes to the Tianxuan Sect once a year in the spring, and if the opportunity is right, he can catch him."

Su Yu was puzzled, "Why did he go to the Tianxuan Sect?" Could it be that his old man is also a member of the Tianxuan Sect? ”

"It's not." Xiao Yi shook his head, "He's not, but his cousin is." ”

"Who's his cousin?"

"Such as the old head of the Xuan Sect today."

Su Yu thought about Master Moli, thought about the old man Changhe, and then thought about the old head he had never met, and recalled the relationship between Moli and the Tianxuan faction, and his mind was a little messy for a while, but it was not clear.

Xiao Yi saw that Su Yu was confused, drank a sip of the tea she poured, and explained: "Before the master entered the Tianxuan faction, he worshipped the old man Changhe as a teacher, and then the grandfather of the head of the family just took over the position of the head of the family, and the disciples of those years had mediocre qualifications, and there was no one to be proud, the grandfather of the head felt ashamed of the entrustment of his ancestors, and he was melancholy, so he begged his cousin the old man Changhe to give him the master of Moli as a disciple, and the old man Changhe couldn't help but grind hard and brew, so he lent the master out, and this loan was never returned. ”

After hearing this, Su Yu opened his mouth and muttered, "Can it still be like this?" ”

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "At first, I didn't believe it, but then I asked the master in person, and he also admitted that he was very helpless about this matter." So now every year in the spring, the old man Changhe will always go to the Tianxuan faction to find the head of the grandfather to ask for someone, the head of the grandfather does not give, he will ask for some silver and leave, and when the second year is spent, he will go to the Tianxuan faction to ask for someone, this want, it will take more than 20 years. ”

After listening to this, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, a master is a master, and his thoughts are a little different from ordinary people.
