When Yuan Yan's letter was delivered, it happened that Xu Haoning also received a letter.

After the letter, Lin Jiaruo's face was happy, and he looked up at Xu Jiaoning, but his expression was stunned, and his eyes were foggy.

"He's going to fight your father......" Xu Yaoning muttered.

"Yan Huai?" Lin Jiaruo's heart lifted, and her eyes were nailed to the letter.

Xu Jiaoning panicked and immediately put the letter away.

Lin Jiaruo glanced at her suspiciously, nodded and said, "He's a downright man!" ”

Xu Yaoning smiled with honor.

Lin Jiaruo looked at it and suddenly asked, "Mother, what is the relationship between you and Yan Huai?" ”

"W-what, what's the matter!" Xu Jiaoning couldn't say anything, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Lin Jia looked at her thoughtfully, and said to himself: "Mu Wei appeared when I was six years old, and when my mother wanted to take me and Wish to the north, was it to go to Yan Huai?" ”

Xu Yaoning pursed her lips and didn't speak, looking cramped.

That night, she told Ah Ruo what happened to their sister and brother in their previous life, but she didn't have time to say many details, let alone mention the karma between her and Yan Huai in this life.

"Six years ago, Yan Huaiping Shaoxing was in turmoil, and it was rumored that he colluded with the rebels, and later the Yan family was destroyed, and Yan Huai reappeared in Ganzhou——"

Lin Jiaruo looked at her with burning eyes and asked, "Mother, did Zhao Bingyi come to Yuhang to search for the remnants of the rebels, was it to find Yan Huai?" At that time, you hid Yan Huai? ”

When it came to the events of that year, Xu Yaoning still had palpitations, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, I rescued Yan Huai in Yunlin Temple, and I didn't hide him at home-"

"So Yunlin Temple is also suffering because of Yan Huai?" Lin Jiaruo was in hot pursuit.

"No!" Xu Haoning subconsciously denied it, but she herself was not very sure, "Maybe it's because of the jade seal, maybe it's because of ...... Hold the dust! ”

Lin Jiaruo frowned and looked at her.

Xu Yaoning swallowed nervously and said, "Don't you think that the identity of Zhichen is not simple?" He and Wei Jiuniang—"

"Mother!" Lin Jiaruo interrupted her and said seriously, "You go find Yan Huai!" ”

Xu Yaoning looked at her in a daze, and heard her say in a steady tone: "Yan Huai wants to fight with his father, if he can break through the fallen horse pass guarded by his father, he doesn't need you to respond here, if he can't attack it-"

She looked at Xu Yaoning fixedly, and her words were firm: "Mother, I don't allow you to set fire to your father's back!" ”

"I won't allow it either!" Lin Yuanzhi, who was learning characters, echoed without raising his head.

"Don't worry-" Xu Yaoning's eyes were slightly wet, and he said softly, "Yan Huai said that he wants to fight your father in a dignified manner, so I will leave the capital and wait for news quietly......

He said, A-Ning, I finally waited for this opportunity to duel him, please stand by like an ordinary woman, let me fight for you, and get back the grievances of so many years for you;

He said, even if I break through the Fallen Horse Pass, I will also spare his life, after all, he is the biological father of your children;

He said, you are waiting for me in the capital, and on the day I break the city, I will take your hand and climb the Golden Palace together, overlooking the rivers and mountains.

Three days later, the Yan army stormed Maguan and failed.

When Lin Jiaruo received the military information sent by Yuan Yan, he jumped in front of Xu Yaoning happily, waved the letter in his hand not without showing off, and said proudly: "Mother, my father won!" My dad kept the buckle! ”

Xu Yaoning said disappreciatively: "Your father didn't come out to fight at all, but he just closed the door and guarded it!" The letter sent by Yan Huai scolded Lin Shisheng for shrinking his head and turtle and not daring to fight.

Lin Jiaruo disagreed with her words: "Daddy doesn't have elite soldiers, what's wrong with staying behind closed doors?" Isn't it stupid to open the door to fight when you are called to? ”

Xu Yaoning choked, and then sneered: "How long can you keep it?" Grain and grass can only last for another two months at most, right? ”

Lin Jiaruo smiled confidently: "Two months is enough, at the beginning of August, the first batch of new grain from Hebei Province can be delivered, not to mention the high horse fat in autumn, Yan Huai is also distracted to beware of Rong people!" ”

Xu Yaoning glanced at her in surprise, Ah Ruo is now more and more meticulous, and even she has missed the stubble of the sky.

"Even if the grain and grass are sufficient, that is, continue to guard the Backward Horse Pass, if Yan Huai divides his troops to make a detour, there will be no second Lin Shisheng in the pass who can defend along the line!" Xu Jiaoning looked at her calmly.

Lin Jiaruo's face turned pale.

The defense is only temporary, if you can't take the initiative to attack, one day, you will still let Yan Huai break through the defense line, and when the time comes......

But now, there is no general in the customs who can fight with Yan Huai, and if Dad forcibly fights, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.

Reinforcements...... Will it come?

This summer, it seems to be extremely hot, from the emperor to the commoners, all crowded into the steamer-like city, vacant countless summer retreats at the foot of Yuquan Mountain.

On the last night of June, Lin Jiaruo was still tortured by the scorching heat and couldn't sleep peacefully, and he tossed until the third watch before he fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, sometimes it was the devastation of Daizhou, sometimes it was the Jin Ge Iron Horse of Dingzhou, sometimes it was the sound of rapid horses' hooves, and the people who were immediately blurred shouted vague words......

Lin Jiaruo was woken up by a burst of crying.

"Who's out there?" His head was not fully awake, and he couldn't distinguish the sound outside for a while.

Xiao Man came in and said, "It's the fifth girl who is here." ”

Awei?

Lin Jiaruo rubbed her temples, put on her clothes and walked out.

In the courtyard, Xu Yaoning was angry and asked Yahuan to cover Lin Jiawei's mouth, but this little girl was very slippery, and a person as big as a cuckoo couldn't control her.

Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but sigh when she saw it: It's really better than blue, thinking that Aunt Bai made trouble back then, and a cuckoo couldn't control it.

Seeing that it was about to reach Bailing, Lin Jiaruo hurriedly said: "Stop!" ”

was shouted by her, and the people in the courtyard stagnated for a moment, but Lin Jiawei took the opportunity to break free from control and stumbled towards Lin Jiaruo.

"Sister!" The delicate skirt is covered with dust, and the little face is full of tears, and it looks so pitiful!

Lin Jiaruo frowned and asked, "What happened?" How did you get out alone? ”

Lin Jiawei trembled her little body, and fear was written all over her body: "Sister...... Princess, princess...... Awei is so scared—"

"Don't cry!" Lin Jiaruo drank her, "Speak well!" ”

Lin Jiawei's half-deflated mouth returned to normal, and even the tears that were about to drop were taken back, leaving a pitiful look to look at Lin Jiaruo, and whispered: "The grandmother next to the princess is here, I want to take Aunt Pei to the princess's mansion, sister, go home and have a look?" ”

"Don't go!" Without waiting for Lin Jiaruo to respond, Xu Jiaoning said angrily, "Lin Shisheng can't control the backyard by himself, do you want you, the daughter, to settle it for him?" ”

Lin Jiaruo was about to speak, but Lin Jiawei pulled the corner of her clothes again, and the little girl said with tears in her eyes: "My sister is not at home, Ah Wei is so scared......"

got rid of a little hoarfrost, and Xu Yaoning was even angrier.

"That's it!" Lin Jiaruo finally found a chance to speak.

"Ah Wei, I'll let Xiaoman send you back!" She said with a faint expression.
