Li Lao Er was slightly relieved, and for the time being, the emperor didn't seem to have any other thoughts, at least for their family as always.

Mr. Wen also got the letter from his wife yesterday, and he was very satisfied with the current situation of his wife and children, and he was not worried.

Instead, he was more concerned with another thing.

"How has your uncle been busy lately, have you done all the things that have been discussed before?"

Jia'an hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry, Brother Xi and I have been helping Uncle with the preparation, and Brother Third Brother and Brother Liu Yang have also participated."

"A safe place has been prepared, the manpower is reliable, and even the traces of the ships have been erased by my errand with the Foreign Affairs Department, and no one will be suspicious. After all, there are many winds and waves on the sea, and the loss of a few boats is a common thing in Quanzhou. ”

Everyone was relieved to hear this.

The retreat is like the jewelry at the bottom of the old lady's box, which may not be worn all the time, but it must be there.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment and asked, "Second brother, is it already so dangerous here in Xindu?" I'm listening to them gossip today, and it doesn't seem to have changed much. ”

Li Lao Er didn't want to scare the old lady, but he didn't make it clear, in case something happened, the old man didn't know the truth and made a mistake.

So, he thought about most of it, focusing on the impact on his family and what might happen in the future under the severe situation.

Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying's faces were not good when they heard it.

Especially Mrs. Li, when she heard her granddaughter talk about it before, she was still happy.

The crown prince actually grew up in Broken Gold Beach, and this affection is enough to ensure that his family is safe and sound in the change of throne.

But at this moment, she suddenly realized that maybe she couldn't wait for the prince to ascend the throne, and the Li family and Broken Gold Beach would be wiped out.

She couldn't help but whisper, "Probably not, the emperor and the marquis have grown up together since childhood." It's just a military merit, you don't have to rob it at all, and Hou Ye won't care. Besides, how many times has Hou Ye said that after the end of the Northern Expedition, he will disarm and return to the field and travel the world......"

In the end, the old lady's voice was barely audible.

I don't know whether to persuade everyone or to convince myself.

Tao Hongying patted her mother-in-law's hand and opened her mouth to comfort, but there was a bit of coldness in her eyes.

"Mother, what we ordinary people care about is to be fed and clothed, but that person is in that position, and he has been suppressed by the Queen Mother for half his life, so he must pay more attention to face and look forward to leaving a name in history.

"How could he give up the glory of recovering rivers and mountains, and then be scolded for hundreds of years of waste.

"It's just that I pity the Hou Ye, who is dedicated to the peace of Tianwu and the unification of the country, and has fought for ten years, and finally has to end up like this."

Mrs. Li was flustered and didn't want to believe this, and looked at her granddaughter to ask for some support.

"Fu Niu'er, what do you see......"

Jiayin sighed, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

She also wanted to lie to her grandmother and make her feel at ease, but the truth is not something that can be concealed if she wants to, and no one can guarantee that she will be exposed one day.

"Milk, if my guess is right. That man didn't necessarily want his father-in-law to die, but now he was about to kick the barbarian out of the border. The man wanted to delay the pace of the Northern Expedition, and when he arranged everything on the side of the new capital, he would find a way to let his father-in-law leave the battlefield temporarily.

In this way, if any general commands the final decisive battle, the history books will write that the person is wise and powerful, and although he was forced to move the capital during his reign, he finally recaptured the lost territory and unified the rivers and mountains.

"It's just that the man thinks very well, but current affairs are changing rapidly, I'm afraid it's ......"

Before she could finish speaking, there was a sudden movement outside the courtyard, but it quickly disappeared again.

When everyone looked over, a figure turned in from outside the courtyard wall.

Before everyone recognized it, Jiayin had already shouted, "Brother Mu, what's wrong with you?" ”

With that, she ran over.

Mu Jue was covered in dust, gray-headed, chapped lips, and embarrassed like a beggar fleeing from the wilderness.

He nodded to signal Jiayin's reassurance, and then said a word in a dumb voice, "Water ......"

At this time, Jia An also rushed over, and the brother and sister helped Mu Jue to the eaves of the porch together.

Mu Jue's legs were trembling, which was obviously like riding a horse day and night.

Li Lao Er quickly poured sour plum soup for Mu Jue, and asked, "But something happened to Jiangbei?" ”

Mu Jue nodded and shook his head, and directly hugged the white porcelain pot containing sour plum soup and drank it.

Everyone changed their faces and couldn't help but stand up, full of apprehension.

Mrs. Li and Tao Hongying shook hands stiffly, for fear of hearing the news of Li Laosi's injury.

Mu Jue put down the porcelain pot and said, "Master Hou was assassinated, but there is no big problem. The Northern Expeditionary Army camped for three days and postponed the decisive battle! Hou Ye sent a message and quickly moved south. ”

Assassination?

Moving south?!

Everyone's faces changed instantly, although they had already guessed, but when this day came, they were still at a loss.

"How was Master Hou assassinated, and where was he injured?"

"What about the fourth, how is the fourth?"

"What the hell is going on?"

Jiayin's heart was also trembling, thinking that her father-in-law and father were in danger, she couldn't wait to fly directly to Jiangbei.

She tried her best to persuade herself to calm down, and then took a few warm buns from her satchel and stuffed them for Mu Jue.

At this time, no one bothered to figure out how she had buns in her satchel.

Mu Jue glanced at her gratefully, then choked on a bun in two mouthfuls, and then quickly said, "I didn't see Master Hou, it was Uncle Dashan who sent me a message." The fifth prince of the barbarians led people to attack at night, and the fourth master injured his arm and did not fight.

"Hou Ye brought General Jiang Cheng and Wei Erniu to fight, the five barbarian princes were defeated, Hou Ye was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but a dagger was shot from behind. Fortunately, Wei Erniu reacted quickly and helped, and the dagger was pierced into Hou Ye's shoulder.

"The dagger was filled with blood-moving poison, and the fourth master used a life-saving pill to ensure that Hou Ye pulled out the dagger and temporarily had no worries. Hou Ye personally ordered to camp for three days, and then continue the campaign, driving the barbarians out of the border in one go. ”

Everyone listened like a roller coaster, up and down.

Or did Jiayin grasp the key point and asked, "Dagger sneaking up from behind?" Is it your own assassination? ”

Mu Jue choked on another bun and nodded in response, "Not only that, but the poison on the dagger was recognized by the military doctor." The military doctor used to work in the Tai Hospital, and the blood-invigorating poison came from ......"

Mu Jue pointed in the direction of the palace and did not continue, but everyone was clear.

The courtyard was deadly quiet, and the air seemed to freeze.

It was the warm wind that went to the wall, and it all ran away in a neat detour.

"Smack!" Li Lao Er grabbed the tea bowl on the table and smashed it hard.

"After all, I still look up to that person! The most ruthless imperial family! What kind of love that has depended on each other since childhood, what benevolence and righteousness, is not as important as his name before and after!

"Master Hou has been fighting abroad for ten years, life and death are aside, in order to recover his lost country, he actually stabbed him in the back at such a time! It's a brute! Pigs and dogs are not as good! ”

Mr. Wen also had a very bad face, although he knew that expecting an emperor to have a conscience was like expecting a cat not to eat fish, but in the past ten years, the emperor has indeed been not bad for Hou Ye, and even loves the house and Wu, and he also takes extra care of them, those close to Hou Ye.

Where did I think that it would be in an instant to turn my face!
