"Why is that?"

Tong Shuangxi blurted out and asked.

Wu Xu sighed, and then said: "The emperor is suspicious of the General's Mansion, Xiaoshu, as the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, the emperor will definitely not be at ease." ”

This is also the reason why Pei Shu has been "idle" during this time.

Tong Shuangxi was silent, she didn't expect that things would be like this in the end, and what greeted her was not the storm of coexistence with the General's Mansion, but the separation of thousands of miles.

"And after that? If you pacify the Japanese in the northwest, will the emperor be able to let down his vigilance against the general's mansion? ”

Tong Shuangxi asked directly.

Wu Xu shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not easy!" ”

After saying this, Wu Xu and Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but fall silent.

It is not easy to pacify the Japanese in the northwest, and it is even more difficult for the emperor to let down his guard against the general's mansion.

"Then what will the emperor do?"

After being silent for a while, Tong Shuangxi asked Wu Xu and said.

As the general of the Celestial Empire, Wu Xu naturally knows the Son of Heaven better than Tong Shuangxi, so Tong Shuangxi wants him to guess what the Son of Heaven will do to the General's Mansion?

Wu Xu naturally understood what Tong Shuangxi meant, he was not the kind of person who would easily say his thoughts, but looking at Tong Shuangxi, who was pregnant in front of him, Wu Xu thought for a while and said: "The affairs of the Qiao family, you have done a good job, otherwise the emperor would not just let Xiaoshu follow me to the northwest." ”

"After I leave, the emperor will definitely make a move against Concubine Chen and Concubine Wu, as well as the Chen family and the Wu family behind them, but for the General's Mansion, I guess the emperor will not move for a while and a half.

"After Xiaoshu and I are gone, you must close the Imperial Workshop and all the workshops under your name as quickly as possible, and then close the door and live a good life.

"The General's Mansion will also keep a low profile at that time, but fortunately, your brothers are doing inconsequential idle duties."

"If it'......!"

Speaking of this, Wu Xu couldn't help but pause, then glanced at Tong Shuangxi and said: "If there is bad news from me or Xiaoshu from the northwest, neither you nor the General's Mansion should act rashly and act according to the orders of the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely not embarrass you and the General's Mansion at that time." ”

Tong Shuangxi's eyes widened and he looked at Wu Xu opposite.

Maybe this is the ultimate goal of the Son of Heaven, but who can really be sure of such a thing!

It's just that Tong Shuangxi can be sure of one thing, if it is really necessary to protect the General's Mansion and Tong Shuangxi in this way, Wu Xu and Pei Shu will definitely die without hesitation......

"Don't! You and Xiaoshu must come back alive! ”

Before the words were finished, Tong Shuangxi's tears had already fallen.

Seeing Tong Shuangxi crying like this, Wu Xu panicked suddenly, and hurriedly stood up and said reassuringly: "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to preserve Xiaoshu, and I will never let you and your unborn child lose your husband and father." ”

But when Tong Shuangxi heard Wu Xu's words, his tears flowed even more fiercely, and finally he sobbed sadly.

The general's wife has always been resolute and forbearing, and Wu Xu has no daughter, so he has never seen a woman crying like this in front of him, there is no way, he can only stand there helplessly and watch Tong Shuangxi sad.

"I want you and Xiaoshu to live."

Tong Shuangxi raised his head, endured the fear and sadness in his heart, and then said to Wu Xu.

Out of the Tong family's house, Wu Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that watching the woman cry was more overwhelming than looking at the enemy's machete.

Wu Xu couldn't help but think of Mrs. Wu, except for crying because of her rudeness on the night of marriage, she had never cried for more than 20 years, at least in front of him, she had never cried, she had always been so righteous and dignified.

Wu Xu suddenly wanted to see his wife's crying appearance, but he felt that it was very strange for him to think like this.

When they returned to the General's Mansion, Mrs. Wu and her children and grandchildren were already guarding the hall. 187

Mrs. Wu nodded to General Wu, and then instructed the maid on the side to twist a wet handkerchief for Wu Xu and wipe Wu Xu's face herself.

Wu Xu's sons and daughters-in-law all waited with solemn faces, and Wu Xu knew that he was going to the northwest to suppress the Japanese, and it should have been spread to the general's mansion.

"Father, you can't go to the northwest!"

As soon as Wu Xu sat down, Wu Xu's eldest son stood up and said excitedly.

The sons of several other martial artists also shouted in response.

"Father, my son will go to the court tomorrow to ask for a performance, and go to the northwest to Pingwei instead of his father!"

"I'll go too!"

……

Listening to the sons below scrambling to speak, Wu Xu couldn't help but sigh, and then said majestically: "At the beginning, I stopped you from joining the army, just to prevent today. ”

Wu Xu's words made several sons of the Wu family quiet down.

"At the beginning, I forced you to take the road of the imperial examination, I know that you are not convinced, but the century-old foundation of the martial arts family cannot be destroyed in my hands, as the so-called water is full, the moon is full, and our martial arts family cannot produce a second martial arts general!"

Wu Xu swept over the children below one by one, and then continued: "This trip to the northwest is imperative, this is not only to serve the Celestial Empire, but also an opportunity for my martial arts family to show loyalty to the Celestial Empire and the emperor. ”

Wu Xu's words were clear enough, and he believed that his sons would understand his painstaking efforts.

"It's ......!"

The youngest son of the martial family is at the age of blood and strength, and he doesn't want to watch his father being sent to the northwest by the emperor to die like this.

"Wu'er, shut up!"

Just before he could say anything, he was scolded by Mrs. Wu.

"Your father is tired too, so go down first!"

Mrs. Wu rubbed her numb brows, and then said to her sons.

Knowing that their father and mother had made a decision, the sons of the Wu family could only reluctantly retreat.

Mrs. Wu personally fed Wu Xu a soothing soup, and then served him to lie on the bed.

"Is there really no room for manoeuvre?"

After not sleeping all night, Wu Xu was indeed sleepy, and in a daze, he could only hear Mrs. Wu's words.

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!"

After saying this, Wu Xu was completely unconscious.

When I woke up again, it was already dark, and Mrs. Wu was sitting in front of the concubine table combing her thick black hair.

"What time is it, and how long have I been asleep?"

Wu Xu asked habitually.

Mrs. Wu didn't come over as before, and then gently helped him up and told him the time of day.

After waiting for a while, Wu Xu got up in confusion, and then walked behind Mrs. Wu.

"Is something wrong?"

Wu Xu rubbed his head, which was still a little dizzy, and asked.
