Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu beside him with red eyes, although he knew in his heart that Xiang Gong, as a military general, could not avoid this kind of thing.

But seeing that it was already winter, it was about to be the New Year, but this would be when he had to go out, and his return date was uncertain, how could she put her mind at ease.

The more she thought about it, the more sad Dong Shu felt, and her already red eyes finally shed tears.

Seeing Dong Shu crying, Xu Shiqiu, who was already reluctant, sighed, looked at her and explained: "Although the return date is uncertain, I will definitely come back as soon as possible, and I will always be able to come back before the year." ”

Xu Shiqiu also wondered why Emperor Ruikang arranged for him to go out of Beijing at this time, but since there was a decree from the saint, he could only take the troops out once.

And Xu Shiqiu also felt that although he couldn't tell when he would be able to come back from this mission, Rui Kandi would definitely not let himself not be able to come back a year ago.

After all, if he wants to go out, he must bring Xu Yanhao and Ye Shuo with him.

These two juniors, one is the grandson of King Duan, the other is his grandson, and Ye Shuo is also the son of Ye Jingxing, who is about to be passed on by him.

At the end of the year, these two juniors must be there.

That's why Xu Shiqiu will be sure that he will be able to come back before the year.

But although Xu Shiqiu said so, Dong Shu was still not at ease.

"I've heard my mother say that it's not easy to march in winter, and you still have to go north this time, it's colder over there." Speaking of this, Dong Shu suddenly got up and walked quickly in the direction of the wardrobe, while walking, Dong Shu did not forget to say: "The good fur at home has made winter clothes for me and Yuan Xi, you originally said that you don't need too thick fur to train every day, this time go back to the north, what can I do if I don't have thick fur?" ”

Listening to the little lady's eager and worried words, Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly got up and followed her to the wardrobe, "I have two thick coats, enough to wear." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu finally took Dong Shu's hand and held her hand in the palm of his hand before he spoke: "Besides, this time we will go to the north, there is a lot of thick fur there, maybe I can bring you some good fur back." ”

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she hurriedly broke free of his hand, opened the wardrobe, and was relieved after making sure that Xu Shiqiu had two thick fur coats and two slightly thinner, but also thicker short jackets.

Seeing that although the little lady was reluctant to give up herself, she was still worried that she would be frozen when she went out, Xu Shiqiu only felt that her heart was soft, and regardless of Dong Shu's continued busy figure, she directly pulled her into her arms and hugged her.

"Lady, in fact, I am reluctant to leave the capital at this time. But I am a military general, and if there is an abnormality in the frontier this time, the saint can send me, which is also the reason why he values me. ”

After all, this kind of thing, Rui Kangdi used to send Duanwang or let Duanwang arrange his henchmen.

But this time, Rui Kangdi sent himself directly, which shows that he really intends to abdicate.

Xu Shiqiu didn't tell Dong Shu about these things, but he understood it very well in his heart.

However, if this was the previous Ruikang Emperor, before the Chinese New Year, he would not send troops out of Beijing, he would hide it from the people in the capital, just secretly order the guards of the frontier, or let King Duan arrange a confidant military general to leave Beijing secretly.

Because as long as the people of the capital are informed of this matter, the people of the capital will be worried about whether there will be a war, and as a result, the people will not have a solid New Year.

It's just that although this is strange, Xu Shiqiu also confirmed with his brother-in-law that this time it is indeed a change in the frontier, and it is not Rui Kangdi who wants to take him away.

Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu say so much, and he was held in his arms again, and his originally nervous and excited emotions were finally slowly calmed down.

Listening to Xianggong's heartbeat, Dong Shu thought for a while, and finally spoke: "I just can't bear you to leave the capital, and I feel sad when I think of not seeing you for many days." ”

"I get it." Xu Shiqiu naturally understands the little lady's feelings for herself, not only her, but also reluctantly.

The little lady just missed him alone, but after he left the capital, he thought about the three people in the family.

Especially her daughter, she finally got acquainted with it during this time, and when he left Beijing this time and maybe came back, she forgot about herself again.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Shiqiu felt sad for a while.

But this time, he had to leave the capital and go to the northern frontier.

It took Xu Shiqiu a while to appease Dong Shu, and when he hugged Yuan Xi and came to the main courtyard with Dong Shu, he saw that his mother was also reluctant to sit on the main seat.

Unlike the little lady, the little lady is reluctant to reveal and say it directly, and the mother's reluctance to herself is only hidden by herself in an instant, and she just takes care of herself when she goes out, but she does not say a word of reluctance.

But Xu Shiqiu can still feel his mother's reluctance to him.

Xu Shiqiu thought that he left Beijing this time to go to the frontier, and if there was still an abnormal movement in the frontier, maybe he would really be able to meet the enemy this time.

This time is different from the last time I went to Datong to exterminate the horse bandits, after all, the horse bandits are also their people, and no matter how fierce the horse bandits are, they are not as fierce as the foreign enemies in the north.

But when he thought that his father had become the general of Zhenguo step by step from the north by virtue of his military exploits, and was given the name Xu Zhenbei, Xu Shiqiu felt that he had to go to the north.

If their Xu family wants to return to their original glory, it is absolutely impossible to rely on his father's aftermath alone.

He must revive the scenery of their Xu family!

"Mother, after I leave home, I will let the third brother Xu Jun come to the city often to have a look, and if there is anything, he will arrange for someone to send you away."

Xu Shiqiu thought about the hint given by Queen Hu before, and he didn't know when Ye Jingche would choose to do it.

So these things are arranged by him in advance.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she understood what he meant, thinking that he had to worry about these things at home when he went out, Mrs. Xu looked at him busily and shook her head and said, "You don't have to worry about going out at home, although my mother is old, she should still be vigilant." If there is really danger, the mother also has a way to leave the capital. ”

Xu Shiqiu always felt that his mother still had some connections in his hands that he didn't know, but his mother didn't say anything about it before, and he wouldn't ask.

didn't expect that his mother would say it before he was about to leave the capital today.

Xu Shiqiu didn't know how to answer for a while, but Dong Shu noticed something wrong from the conversation between her mother-in-law and her father-in-law.

"Mother, is it so dangerous for my husband to go out this time?" Dong Shu looked at Mrs. Xu, and the emotions that had been calmed down by Xu Shiqiu became nervous again.

Mrs. Xu also forgot for a while that her daughter-in-law, who was not very smart, was still there, thinking about her honest nature, Mrs. Xu thought about it, and finally looked at her and said: "It's not that it's dangerous for Shiqiu to go out, it's that it's a little dangerous for us to stay in Beijing." You also know that the Holy Lord is going to abdicate at the end of the year, and there has never been such a thing before, because it is the first time, and we don't know what will happen, so it is always not wrong to make more preparations. ”

When Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's words, she immediately felt that it made sense.

Although Xianggong said that he could come back a year ago, if he couldn't come back in time due to the heavy wind and snow on the road, only the female dependents were left in their family.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu looked at the old lady Xu and said, "Then I'll wait until then to make more snacks that can be put in and prepare, if there is really anything, we can bring a thick dress and put on snacks to go out of Beijing." ”

As for the silver, when the time comes, put a few silver tickets on the inside of the winter coat, and bring some loose silver horns.

As long as you save your life, you can't freeze or starve, and you can always live together as a family.

Neither Mrs. Xu nor Xu Shiqiu thought that Dong Shu was not only not afraid, but also said such a thing.

After the mother and son glanced at each other, they both suppressed the emotions in each other's eyes, nodded at Dong Shu, and praised her for thinking thoroughly.

Dong Shu heard the praise of her mother-in-law and her father-in-law, and couldn't help but smile and continued: "Then I'll ask Dr. Du to make some commonly used pills to prepare, and it will be more thoughtful to think about it." ”

Seeing that Dong Shu was indeed thinking seriously about this matter, and was not worried about the possibility of encountering danger and running for her life, Xu Shiqiu didn't know whether to laugh at her big heart or be happy because of her big heart.

If this is another woman, hearing these things, I am afraid that she will be very worried, where can she still have the heart to think about what to prepare, so that she can be more thoughtful when fleeing for her life.

Because of Dong Shu's reaction, Xu Shiqiu's worry that he would leave home was also dispelled.

Xu Shiqiu thought in his heart, if he really couldn't come back by then, and Ye Jingche was really victorious, their Xu family really needed to flee for their lives.

His little lady will definitely be able to protect Yuan Xi, take his mother, load snacks and pills, find a place to hide, and wait for him to come back and find them.

Although the possibility of running for his life is very small, Xu Shiqiu still feels that he is really lucky to be able to marry Dong Shu.

Because of this incident, even after Xu Shiqiu leaves Beijing, Dong Shu will not have nothing to do.

She knew that this matter could not be made of great fanfare, so when Xu Jun came to the door for the first time, she explained that after he went home, he asked his mother to prepare two sets of ordinary linen winter clothes for her, her mother-in-law and Yuan Xi.

"What are you going to do with these?"

Xu Jun was surprised when he heard Dong Shu's words, because of their family and the Xu family, their family didn't wear such winter clothes.

"Before leaving Beijing, Xianggong said that there might be danger at the end of the year, and when he said that, you would arrange for someone to pick us up. I thought that we would better prepare a few more sets of clothes, especially for ordinary people. If it really comes to that time, these little things will definitely be paid attention to. ”

Dong Shu looked at Xu Jun's seriousness, but Xu Jun didn't know what to say.

He had to say that Dong Shu was right, but this possibility was very small, and according to Xu Shiqiu's meaning, if they really wanted to leave the capital, they would also break it up and leave together, and when the time came, their family would definitely have to follow Dong Shu and a few of them together.

The most important thing is that their plan is to go all the way east from the capital, and then go directly to the sea by boat.

Moreover, these things, they are all ready.

It's just that Xu Jun knew that he couldn't tell Dong Shu so directly, so he could only answer her explanation, and repeatedly assured that Xu Shiqiu had arranged everything before leaving Beijing.

Dong Shu listened to Xu Jun's words and immediately showed a smile.

"I knew that Xianggong was the best!"

Listening to Dong Shu's words, Xu Jun could only keep nodding, and at the same time, he also prayed in his heart that Xu Shiqiu would come back quickly, thinking that as long as he was there, the heart of this family would be steady.
