"Master Hou."

As soon as the day dawned, Li Xu appeared on the school field in armor, and behind Li Xu was a team of light cavalry, and the soldiers on the school field looked at the mighty cavalry, and their eyes were full of pride.

The Li family has such a cavalry team, which can take the lead at the beginning of the war.

When Li Xu first came to the north, he was just a civil official, and no one thought that such a person could lead troops to fight, and later everyone learned that long before he entered the army, Li Xu had already entered the military camp and trained, and his heart to serve the country was also born from this.

The officials and people in the north all know that Li Hou was the emperor's most trusted person, after coming to the northern Xinjiang, he tried his best to keep the peace of the party, and did not hesitate to work hard for the country and the people, not only trained the soldiers and horses to resist foreign enemies, but also personally went to the field to help the people cultivate grain.

Poor Li Hou and his wife have been separated for many years, and Li Hou still has no children under his knees.

Li Hou endured humiliation and burdened him like this, not only what happened, but the soldiers and people in northern Xinjiang were willing to stand with Li Hou.

After Li Xu appeared, the atmosphere in the school changed significantly, and everyone became more excited.

"Keep practicing." Li Xu's voice was not high, but it spread throughout the school.

The cavalry lined up, the infantry fought each other, and everyone sweated like rain, all of them wanted to be able to charge with Li Hou in time.

Li Xu stood on the high platform and looked down at everyone.

"Xu'er," Li Changyan strode over, "Look at how our Li Jiajun is?" These are all the people we have accumulated over the years, and it is really not easy for us to have today's situation. ”

Li Xu nodded.

"Not only that, this year is a good year in the north, and the people have gained a lot," Li Changyan said here and paused slightly, "It's a pity that the imperial court taxes are too heavy, and I don't know how much we have to pay, but fortunately, the land in the north has been partially concealed, but if it continues like this, I'm afraid it's not good for us, and now we are strong and strong, and we can't spend it anymore." ”

Li Xu didn't speak, his mind was on a letter sent from the capital.

Qing Huan is seriously ill and wants to return to Northern Xinjiang.

"Are you thinking about the Xu family?" Li Changyan frowned, "It's not that my father thinks she's bad, I just sigh that she doesn't understand you, she has enjoyed happiness in the capital all these years, and she has forgotten that you are in the bitter cold land of Northern Xinjiang, and she has forgotten the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang."

I heard that she entered the palace almost every day to accompany the Queen Mother, and the banquets in the palace continued, and she was surrounded by the ladies of those rich and noble families, and she had long stopped taking you to heart. ”

"Father can't say that," Li Xu said, "Qinghuan stayed in Beijing because the emperor was jealous of me. ”

Li Changyan snorted coldly: "She is the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi's mansion, and she can't stand those hardships, as early as when she was in northern Xinjiang, although she was helpless to return to Beijing, she couldn't say that she was happy in her heart."

Since you are married to the north, you should plan for you, which family's wives are not like this, back then...... When you married her, I was unhappy in my heart, as if our Li family had climbed the Anyi Hou Mansion, in fact, her father and brother had died a long time ago, and her mother's family had no support.

It's not like the Yu family...... You're really one wrong step, one wrong step. ”

Li Xu frowned: "My son still has government affairs to deal with, so he will go back to the house first." ”

"Xu'er," Li Changyan called out to Li Xu, "Why don't you listen to it, your father is not for your good, how important it is to you to form an alliance with the Yu family, don't you know?" It's not about you alone, it's about the whole north, are you willing to let the north and let these soldiers die because of it?

The Xu family is really ignorant, she has to return to Northern Xinjiang at this time, it can be seen that she has no you in her heart, no Northern Xinjiang, she doesn't know what purpose she has when she comes back this time, she can't be the spies of the emperor and the queen mother, she is really not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Li family, and our Li family does not have such a selfish person. ”

Li Xu didn't want to argue with his father on the school grounds, he took a deep look at his father, Li Changyan felt his son's unhappiness, and his face was ugly.

Li Xu walked out of the school field quickly.

Northern Xinjiang is becoming more and more prosperous, no matter where Li Xu goes, everyone will see Li Hou respectfully, although he is only the marquis of the Great Zhou, but in the north is the support of everyone's hearts, if he wins the world, he will definitely treat the people well, so that everyone can live a stable life as much as possible, and no longer be as panicked as now.

Everything is fine, all in his calculations, except for one person, his wife Xu Qinghuan.

After Li Xu received Xu Qinghuan's letter from returning to the north, he wanted to take someone to greet her, but he was no longer the Li Jiulang he used to be, he was Li Hou, he had a lot of unfinished government affairs in his hands, and Northern Xinjiang couldn't do without him, and he would definitely be caught by the emperor if he left secretly.

He could only guess that she was now heading north! I don't know how sick she is, he has asked the best Lang Zhong to condition her body, but her physique is too weak, and she is getting thinner and thinner after such careful care.

He wanted to heal her, so that she could stand by his side as before, and watch him achieve hegemony, which was also the promise he had made to her.

Li Xu thought that he had arrived at the Hou Mansion, and when he stepped into the mansion gate, he remembered Xu Qinghuan again, in the years when he had just gotten married, as long as he returned to the mansion, she would get up to greet him, and would always walk to the corridor, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, after he entered the mansion, she would always serve on the side, but the good times did not last long, and then she began to lose her temper with him, deliberately hiding in the house, waiting for him to explain.

He was tired and had so much to endure, but she didn't seem to understand.

"Master Hou."

The secret guard beside Li Xu stepped forward and whispered: "Second Master Yu and Third Miss Yu have been attacked. ”

Li Xu frowned and looked over: "How is General Yu?" ”

The secret guard said: "The dead man was very fierce, and he almost pierced the chest of the second master Yu, but fortunately, the deputy general next to the second master found the clue, which allowed the second master to escape the catastrophe, but the arm of the second master was still seriously injured, and the third miss was fortunately just frightened." ”

Li Xu said: "Did you interrogate the dead man, who instructed him to come?" ”

The Dark Guard said, "The dead man himself bit off his tongue. ”

"Let someone inquire carefully." Li Xu said lightly.

"Ask what?" Miss Li's voice came, she led someone into the courtyard quickly, and looked at Li Xu carefully, "Don't you know who it is?"

If the people in the southeast will not deal with the Yu family, they will only come to assassinate you, and the people who have an enmity with the Yu family will attack the Yu master, why would they go to the second master and the third miss Yu?

I heard that she is coming back, why did she return to Northern Xinjiang at this time, I am afraid that it is not that she is seriously ill but that she can't rest assured that you and the Yu family can't rest assured, she is doing this just to stabilize her position as Mrs. Li Hou. ”

Li Xu's eyes were cold: "Eldest sister, Qinghuan is my wife, you can't guess her for no reason, the matter about my inner house has nothing to do with the eldest sister." ”

"I can't?" Miss Li sneered, "My husband and son are wholeheartedly assisting you and following you, and they will also sacrifice their lives to follow you in the future, you say it has nothing to do with me?" Even if it wasn't her, it was because she didn't handle these things well, disturbing the peace in the north.

I don't even have this ability, how can I be your wife? If it weren't for her, maybe you would have achieved a great job, you are not an ordinary couple after all, you always have to take that step, she can't even understand this, even if she fails you. ”

"When the water comes out," Li Xu said, "I'll let the eldest sister speak." ”

"Okay," Miss Li glanced at Li Xu deeply, "I'll wait." ”

Miss Li left, and Li Xu finally walked into the house.

The room was quiet, and he looked at the two purses embroidered with mandarin ducks on the bed curtain, as if returning to the situation when he and Xu Qinghuan had just married.

Here she sits, dressed in her wedding gown, looking at him shyly.

At that time, he thought that everything was so good.

He returned to the north, where he would make a mark of success, and married a wife whom pleased him.

Unexpectedly, it was not as smooth and complete as he thought.

Eventually, they drifted apart.

She didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

Maybe he dragged her down.

She shouldn't have lived like this, and she shouldn't have found a husband like him.

Maybe she had been away for too long, and she couldn't find any breath in this room.

If he did it all over again, he didn't know if he would lead her into here.
