Under the service of the maid, Xiao Wanyin and the six princes took a mandarin duck bath together.

A few days later, the Wu family received the local products sent back by Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi, which made him very happy. I thought about discussing with Hui Yuzhong to visit, but not only did it not materialize, but it made these two children worry about it. This made Wu's heart feel a little sorry for Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi.

Looking at the local products in front of him, Wu smiled from ear to ear, so he deliberately waited for Hui Yuzhong to come back in the lobby. When Hui Yuzhong entered the mansion, it was in stark contrast to the joyful expression of the Wu clan.

"Master, what's wrong? Is there something going on in the face that is not going well for you? This time, Wu took the initiative to come forward and care.

Hui Yuzhong was rarely cared for by the Wu family, and he was very happy at the moment, and the sadness on his face also improved a lot.

nodded, and told the Wu clan what was on his mind, "It's not because of the Southern Expedition!" This battle, an obvious bitter battle! None of the officials and the emperor objected! What an angry old man! After speaking, Hui Yuzhong patted his thigh to vent his anger.

Seeing this, Wu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said, "Master, don't be angry, why bother arguing with those people? ”

"But ......" Hui Yuzhong originally wanted to say that she was thinking about the country, but when she saw Wu's face, she closed her mouth again and sighed heavily.

In order to alleviate Hui Yuzhong's worries and prevent him from continuing to dwell on this matter, Wu showed him the local products behind him.

"Master, look, these are all sent by Yi'er and Li Lituo, they are all good things!"

Hearing what Wu said, his eyebrows fluttered, and he looked like he had picked up a treasure, Hui Yuzhong poked his head out with curiosity. Although they are not rare treasures, they are all rare things in the capital. After Hui Yuzhong saw it, he was also full of joy and praised the two children for their filial piety and sensibility.

Hearing Hui Yuzhong's praise for the two, Wu was of course also happy, and couldn't help but start talking to Hui Yuzhong about his plans and arrangements for these things. Hui Yuzhong listened quietly and agreed with Wu's proposal.

At lunchtime, Hui Yuzhong once again brought up the matter of the Southern Expedition.

Wu couldn't help but joke, "Master, it's useless to worry about you all day long, it's not that you can't go to the battlefield?" ”

Although Wu is joking, it is undeniable that she is telling the truth.

Hui Yuzhong smiled and responded, "There is nothing wrong with what Madame said. ”

"Then the master is so worried, why don't you ......" Wu continued to quip: "Personally go to the battlefield to command?" ”

"Madame, don't make fun of me!" Hui Yuzhong's smile was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the Wu clan also relented, and after Tonghui Yuzhong finished lunch, he went to train the women's army.

Speaking of which, since Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi went to Qisu, the Wu family has lost a lot of fun in this general's mansion, so they can only rely on training to pass the time every day. It is precisely because of this that both the skills of the Wu clan and the quality of the women's army have improved a lot.

Hui Yuzhong sometimes went to observe and use his training experience and knowledge to help the Wu clan appropriately. In this regard, the Wu family expressed his gratitude, so his attitude towards Hui Yuzhong has also changed a lot.

With the passage of time, seeing that the expedition to the Southern Barbarians was a certainty, Hui Yuzhong never persuaded the emperor, so he gave up, and if something happened at that time, he could only act at the opportunity.

A few days later, the six princes had already practiced well and were ready to go on the expedition.

When the emperor heard this, he became excited and asked, "Sixth, I believe in your ability, and I will definitely achieve a great victory!" ”

The six princes were proud, and said proudly: "The ministers must live up to the emperor's high expectations!" I will not disappoint the ministers! ”

Then, there was a voice of encouragement and other positive words.

Obviously, they are all cheering for the six princes, but these words are so harsh in Hui Yuzhong's ears. His heart felt uneasy at the same time, it didn't matter if the battle was won or lost, but he always felt that something terrible would happen after this war. And this major event is extremely unfavorable to the Shengguo.

However, these are just his personal feelings, how can he report to the emperor without evidence?

"Oh, yes."

In the noisy sound of congratulations, the emperor suddenly spoke, and the ministers were silent.

"Old general, this southern expedition, let General Wu go with you! Be a helper for the sixth! ”

Hearing this, Hui Yuzhong seemed to have been struck by thunder on the spot, and he couldn't respond for a long time.

The emperor didn't blame either, just jokingly reminded: "Old general, is this a surprise?" ”

It was rare for the emperor to joke in the court, and all the ministers laughed, which made Hui Yuzhong even more uncomfortable.

However, the emperor ordered, according to Hui Yuzhong's temperament, how could he refuse? So, Hui Yuzhong knelt down and received this life.

After the next dynasty, Hui Yuzhong and the eunuch who passed the decree returned to the palace together. When Wu learned the news, he hurriedly came out to receive the order.

When the eunuch finished announcing the decree, Wu took it without saying a word and thanked the emperor.

"Okay, our mission is done." The eunuch smiled and said to the Wu family: "Our family, I wish General Wu a great victory in the southern expedition!" ”

"My father-in-law is polite."

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Hui Yuzhong and Wu said goodbye to the eunuch.

After the others walked away, Hui Yuzhong said worriedly: "Yue Zhao, I really didn't expect the emperor to give this order, if I had known about it......"

Wu shook his head and said positively, "It's okay. It just so happens that I've been sitting in the house lately, and it's naturally the best to be able to fight! ”

Knowing that the Wu clan said this to make him feel relieved, Hui Yuzhong didn't say more, but repeatedly told the Wu clan to be careful in everything when he went to the battlefield, and to protect his life and safety as the top priority.

"yes, I see." Wu Shi showed a relieved smile, "Master, you don't have to worry, it's okay!" ”

"I'll write to Yi'er in a moment." After thinking about it, Hui Yuzhong still thought that Hui Shangyi and Xiao Li had the need to know.

Wu wanted to refuse, but in the end he didn't say anything and acquiesced.

Afterwards, Wu looked at the sky and felt that it was still early, so he said hello to Hui Yuzhong and went to train.

"Take care of Madame." Hui Yuzhong said to the Wu family's attendant.

"Yes, sir, the slave must take care of the lady!" After finishing speaking, he caught up with Wu's steps and left.

Hui Yuzhong came to the study and wrote down the recent events and the situation of the Wu clan's going to go on an expedition, and sent it to Hui Shangyi quickly.

Because of the urgency of the situation, coupled with Hui Yuzhong's repeated instructions, when the letter was delivered, the horse and the messenger were tired and paralyzed on the ground.

"This ......" Seeing this, Xiao Li didn't have time to read the letter with Hui Shangyi, and sent people to the house with the villagers to settle down and rest.

When she was settled, Hui Shangyi came in with a sad face on her face with the letter she had read.

Seeing Hui Shangyi like this, Xiao Li's heart also lifted and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hui Shangyi handed the letter to Xiao Li and asked her to read it for herself. Then he summoned the pen and instructed him: "Take the pen and take the brothers to protect the eldest lady, and follow him all the way, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

"Yes!" After taking the pen and receiving the order, he quickly went incognito.

At this time, Xiao Li also finished reading the contents of the letter, his good-looking eyebrows were frowned, and he took Hui Shangyi's hand and said, "Shangyi, why don't we go together?" ”

"What?" Hui Shangyi seemed to have heard something unexpected that surprised him.

Xiao Li repeated again seriously: "Since you and I are worried about my mother, why don't we go with us, what do you think?" ”

"Really?" Hui Shangyi's eyes showed surprise.

Xiao Li smiled lightly and nodded: "Of course." ”

After making up their minds, Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi began to prepare. After a day and a night's rest, the messenger and the horse also regained their strength and returned to Kyoto with Xiaofan. The day after the letter was sent, the Wu clan had already followed the army of the six princes on their journey.

In order to be able to make peace with the Wu clan this morning, Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi studied a shortcut, and then rode away on a fast horse.

When the two left, the villagers came to see them off, whether they usually had a good relationship with them or not. In this regard, Xiao Li was still very moved, and said goodbye to the big guys one by one.

On the way to Wu's side, Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi encountered a lot of beautiful scenery along the way, but they were not in much mood, and they only took it at a glance.

During this period, when the two were resting, Xiao Li said to Hui Shangyi: "Shangyi, after this war, if you can return safely, you will definitely make up for the scenery I missed." ”

"Okay." Hui Shangyi quickly ate the dry food, drank water again, and then handed it to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was not as fast as Hui Shangyi, and it still took some time to fill his stomach. Hui Shangyi didn't show a hint of urging and anxiousness, and waited for Xiao Li silently.

The process of going all the way south made Xiao Li's consumption very large, and the discomfort of not adapting to the water and soil became more and more serious. Hui Shangyi was very worried about this.

So, one day, Hui Shangyi decided to rest for two days and let Xiao Li recuperate, no matter how Xiao Li refused, he couldn't say anything.

Two days later, because he was worried that Xiao Li would be strong and didn't tell him the truth, Hui Shangyi specially invited Lang Zhong to come to the inn where he rested to check Xiao Li's physical condition.

"Doctor, how's it going?"

Lang Zhong stroked his gray beard and said, "This little Langjun, your lady is fine, just pay attention to it in the future." ”

Hearing this, Hui Shangyi's heart relaxed, and then he paid the money and sent Lang Zhong away.

"Look, I'll just say I'm fine."

Hearing this, Hui Shangyi scraped the tip of Xiao Li's nose and said dotingly: "Okay, then we will go on the road tomorrow." ”

As soon as he heard that he would leave tomorrow, Xiao Li immediately objected: "Why do you want to leave tomorrow?" It's still early today, and it's too late to get to the next station. ”

Hui Shangyi frowned slightly, although Lang Zhong said that Xiao Li was okay, he still decided to let Xiao Li recuperate for one more day. Therefore, in a tone that cannot be objected to, he said, "No, you must listen to me in this matter." ”

After that, he went out of the room and brought Xiao Li a medicinal soup to replenish his body.

"Okay, okay, listen to you, listen to you."
