Yuan Shang followed Guo Tu to his father's residence, but when he arrived in the inner room, he saw his father lying on his back on the couch at this time, his face was pale, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken. Yuan Shao, who was full of energy and dignified appearance in the past, seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, and that day he was already angry and vomited blood when he was attacked by Liu Yi in Lianshan, and the defeat in the Battle of Liyang was like a thunderbolt from the sky! Now that he is besieged by Liu Yi's army in this Bohai City, there is no hope of reversing, and the condition is getting worse and worse, and he is tossing and turning on the sickbed, and there has been no improvement since then.

Seeing his father's appearance, and thinking about his defeat and capture, Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, and couldn't stand the sadness, so he immediately had tears in his eyes, knelt on his knees, and walked a few steps to his father's sickbed and whispered to Yuan Shao, who was still asleep.

"You, you are Shang'er, why are you here, very good, very good." Yuan Shao has been seriously ill and depressed these days, and he has seven or eight hours of sleep a day, and usually the servants and maids only dare to wake him up when they are eating and diagnosing the disease, but now they are father and son, and they open their eyes when they hear a few soft calls from their sons. Looking sideways, sure enough, it was the young son kneeling in front of him, and his godless eyes showed joy, and he didn't know where the spirit came from turned over and sat up and grabbed the hand of his beloved son, and said, Yuan Shang was defeated and captured, and he had already known the news that Yuan Shang was defeated and captured, but now he didn't want to care.

"Father, lie down quickly, and take good care of your body." Yuan Shang saw that his father was in a hurry, his breath began to not be allowed to get up, and he hurriedly got up to help him, and used a soft pillow to cushion him behind his back, at this time, his father's eyes no longer had the look of the past, and some were just the joy of seeing his beloved son.

"Shang'er, but then Liu Langsheng let you come? Presumably he wouldn't do it alone. Yuan Shao has always been very fond of this young son, and Yuan Shang's capture is also one of the reasons why he is seriously ill, but he believes in his heart that as long as Yuan Shang does not die in the chaos, Liu Yi's bearing will not be too difficult with him.

"Father, that Liu Yi is not embarrassed by the child, this time he also brought the child to Bohai, here is his handwriting, let me hand it over to my father." After Yuan Shang spoke, he took out a white silk from his bosom and handed it to Yuan Shao, which was the thing that Liu Yi handed over when he left the barracks.

Brother Junjian: Brother Wen is seriously ill, and his brother has emotion, if he can come to Peking that day, how can he have today, but he will not do this with his brother's heart, and his brother also knows that there will be a battle between him and his brother! Now the war situation does not need to be repeated by the younger brother, and the brother's heart should be like a mirror. The situation in Jizhou is difficult to reverse. Even if it is an enemy, the brother and the younger brother are also heroes in their hearts, and the number of successes and failures is sometimes, but the matter has come to this, I hope that the original can be sympathetic to the military and people of Jizhou, and no longer do it for meaningless, even if the brother still insists, it is just a waste of time, Lang Sheng is a man who is not lying to him, he is not dead, my heart is not at ease, my brother's family is now a sin, and my brother can only save his life.

Yuan Shao took the white silk and unfolded it, the handwriting had no structure, but it was extremely powerful, it was Liu Langsheng's handwriting, and there was no lack of persuasion in the letter, but Liu Yi's self-confidence was undoubtedly revealed, and it was only a matter of time before he could surrender or not, which was quite resentful in Yuan Shao's eyes, but the current situation had to admit that what Liu Yi said was the truth. Moreover, although Liu Yi is strong in his heart, he is not condescending, arrogant and domineering, and there is a sincerity that belongs to Liu Langsheng between the lines, he did not talk to Yuan Shao about the life of the Son of Heaven, and bluntly said that between the two is only a matter of success or failure and nothing else, and he made it clear that he would not let go of Yuan Shao's life, everything is true.

"Hahaha, it's been ten years since we've known each other in Xiyuan, and this Liu Yi is still so temperamental, it's just a matter of success or failure, what he said is true, but how could I, Yuan Benchu, wag my tail and beg for mercy from you? If the big thing can't be done, what does life and death mean, Lang Sheng, but you think Yuan is too small. Yuan Shao laughed loudly after reading the letter, which was both sour and gratifying, but he didn't know why!

Yuan Shang heard his father laugh, and he was quite surprised in his heart, but his expression was normal, and there was nothing wrong, so he was a little relieved, he didn't dare to open this letter first, under such a predicament, the past rivalry has long disappeared, but at this time there is a true love between father and son.

"Come on, quickly arrange wine and food, Shang'er returned unharmed today, congratulations, I want to drink and talk to him." Yuan Shao suddenly seemed to be a different person, the momentum of the past returned to his body, and his words were full of energy, as if his illness had been cured without cure!

In the eyes of Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao at this time is a pure loving father, looking at his own eyes are full of love, and even talking with him about their brother's childhood deeds, sometimes laughing, although Yuan Shang is different in his heart, he can see that his father is happy, and it is difficult to understand his meaning for a while.

In the Bohai Sea, Yuan's father and son reunited to sit opposite each other, talking about the past with wine, although they were in the encirclement, they could also enjoy it temporarily, and at this time in the palace of Liu Yi Hussar General in Beiping was dressed in red and green, the lights were colorful, and the faces of the people who came and went were a festive look, today was the fiftieth birthday of Liu Yi's mother, Mrs. Liu, in the morning, the Son of Heaven personally sent someone to send a birthday gift, and he wrote a picture of happiness and health hanging in the inner hall, the gate was full of traffic, the guests came like clouds, and the hall was also full of friends!

At this time, Liu Yi was out on the expedition, at that time he was already fifty years old, Cai Yan began to plan his mother-in-law's birthday a few months ago, her husband must not be able to catch up in Jizhou, his filial piety can only help him do it, his mother's fiftieth birthday is not trivial, the Liu family has a big business, and it must be a good life, and he must not lose his husband's face in front of outsiders.

Now Cai Yan is also approaching the age of standing, she is not the original twenty-eight girl, but she has been carefully maintained for many years, and her natural beauty has not been reduced at all, and her expression has more of the grace and dignity of the master, Liu Yi's name for martial arts is known all over the world, and Cai Yan's virtuous deeds are also famous in all directions, and there are many official eunuchs, and everyone is taking her as an example.

At this time, it is a moment away from Ji Shi, Liu Yi is not there, the uncle Liu Du has become the head of the Liu family, Lang Sheng is the uncle of the emperor of the emperor of the emperor of the hussar general of the dynasty, for several years to conquer the east and west, to destroy the thief and make contributions, the weight of power is unparalleled for a while, and now Liu's mother's birthday, the Son of Heaven is personally gifted, in addition to the reward is quite a lot, last night Queen Fu specially invited Cai Yan into the palace, saying that the Son of Heaven has something to say, the emperor uncle is loyal to the country, but can not be filial piety in front of the old woman, for the sake of the Han Sheji, now although he is no longer in Beijing, but this birthday must be done decently, Of course, Cai Yan also has this intention in his heart! In this way, on the first day, all the officials and ministers of the court and the central government came to congratulate each other and wanted to celebrate the old woman's birthday.

"Mother, there is a moment in auspicious fashion, many of the outside guests have arrived, Uncle Du is stretching out, my mother will go out to accept everyone's congratulations in a while, and my daughter-in-law is here to lead the family to give your old man a salute." Cai Yan at this time a gorgeous dress, hairstyle according to the product makeup, the whole person can not say the grace and generosity, dignified and bright, she stood in front of Liu's mother, with a smile in her mouth, behind her is Mi Zhen Zhen Mi, although the two of them are heavy at this time but the mother-in-law's birthday, this ceremony still has to be done, and then Yu'er, Xian'er, Qin Yuyao and Liu Ruyan, until Cai Yan finishes speaking, except for the pregnant people, the rest are kneeling and saluting, wishing the old woman more blessings and longevity, enjoy the honor! Then Liu Xin took his sister Duo'er to kowtow to his grandmother, and there were also auspicious words.

For Cai Yan's daughter-in-law, Liu's mother is satisfied no matter how she looks at it, and she sees that there are many pot-bellied people in her son's concubine's room, plus the two grandchildren's beautiful children's voices, even if she is relieved, with a bright smile on her face, she supports her hands from time to time, and the blue marks next to her also hand over a string of copper coins to the person who salutes, she is loyal to her wife, and she is not married at this time.

Remembering that his life can be regarded as a big ups and downs, her husband went very early, and she was seriously ill and delirious, but since the return of her beloved son, everything has changed, Yi'er went to the cliff for him to collect medicine, it may be filial piety to move the sky, and the doctor was blessed by misfortune, the doctor was cured of the loss of his soul, and then his son joined the army for the country, and made countless meritorious achievements, and his wife Cai Yan was dignified and beautiful, very filial, and able to govern the family, and those concubines were also like flowers and jade, and they were scattered for the Liu family. Now his fiftieth birthday the son of heaven asked, hundreds of officials come to the clouds, the lintel of the Liu family can be described as extremely glorious, in the past, she just dreamed that today's opportunity, father-in-law and husband have knowledge underground, presumably will also be pleased, today's birthday joy, in addition to the son in the outside can be said to be perfect, so the old lady's bright smile is also tears looming, crying with joy.

"Old lady, madam, tell the old lady, madam, the general sent Liu Liu to hurry back to celebrate the old lady's birthday." At this time, Liu Hu, the housekeeper outside the door, ran in with a brisk face and said respectfully, the old lady and Cai Yan and others were all overjoyed when they heard it, Liu's mother was extremely concerned about her son, Cai Yan and others were not ordinary, she knew that her husband had always been extremely filial to his mother, even if it was difficult to come back from the war, he would not have expressed it, it seemed that it was so. The current housekeeper Liu Hu is the son of Liu Fu, the old housekeeper of the Liu family in the Shangdang, and now he is the son inheriting his father's business.

Liu Liu came to celebrate the old lady's birthday on the order of the young master, and the young master said that he could not prepare any gifts on the battlefield, and told the villain to kowtow to the old lady nine times in front of him, and asked the mother to forgive the child for not being filial piety in front of his mother! The young master will kneel with the eldest prince facing north today and kowtow to the old lady! Liu Liu walked into the hall and knelt down in front of the old woman. After relaying Liu Yi's words, he knocked his head nine times in a row, and Liu's mother couldn't help but see Liu Yi in the barracks at this time, kneeling and kowtowing facing the north, and it was old tears for a while.

"That's kowtowing for the general, these six are Liu Liu and his younger brother Liu Qi to the old woman's birthday, may the old lady be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan!" After Liu Liu finished kowtowing, he got up and knelt down to salute, he and Liu Qi were also like Liu Hu, they were all members of the Liu family.

"Okay, get up quickly, Yi'er has eaten well and slept well recently, and Huan'er has suffered in the army." The old woman actually got down to help Liu Liu in person, so panicked that he hurriedly stood up and hugged the old woman, and at this time, a series of questions came out of Liu's mother's mouth.

"The young master is very good, if you want to make the old lady and the lady happy, the battle of Jizhou must be decided within three months, the young master must hurry back, the eldest prince has the posture of the young master back then, and he is very respected in the army." Liu Liu said loudly with a smile, for fear that Liu's mother would not hear clearly.

"Okay, okay, Bichen will reward you quickly, and then wrap the longevity peach made by Yan'er and them and bring it to Yi'er Huan'er to eat!" Mother Liu smiled when she heard this, and ordered Bi Jin repeatedly, but she didn't think that this longevity peach and other things could be eaten when they arrived at Liu Yi's place.

"Madam, the young master said, he is not at home, everything is handled by you, you have worked hard, let Liu Liu give you a gift." Liu Liu put the old lady back to her seat, came to Cai Yan and said, and bowed again after speaking!

"This is the duty of the concubine, how dare you be a husband's thanks, you are by his side day and night, but you have to take care of it, the husband will ignore the three meals as soon as there is a war, you have to tell him that everything is going well at home, and my sisters and I are waiting for him to return victorious." I am afraid that only Liu Yi can do this kind of behavior at this time, but it makes Cai Yan feel useful in his heart, and hurriedly advises.

Liu Liu naturally agreed, and took out a few pieces of white silk in the package, and handed them to Cai Yan first, and the rest of the women were also not left behind, seeing that the husband was so careful, all the women were happy, the so-called beacon fire even for three months, the family letter was worth 10,000 gold, this side of the white silk was very important in the hearts of the women, and Yu'er asked Liu Liu about Liu Huan's details again, at this time, there were rumors outside, saying that it was an auspicious time, and everyone hurriedly hugged the old lady out of the house and went to the front hall!
