Chapter 495: Full Escape
Xu Junze told them that now the army led by Xiao Jingde in Xia State is no longer called a rebel army but a righteous army, and there are many followers, the Duan family royal family has long lost the hearts of the people, and the new emperor Duan Yunlun is also tyrannical and impermanent, making the people's grievances boiling, and the ministers are centrifuged, and it seems that the Xiao family's army is about to force Xia Guojing's division.
"It seems that this Xia Kingdom is about to change the dynasty!" Lei Zhanpeng listened to Xu Junze's narration and pondered for a moment and said, the others did not say anything, and they acquiesced to what he said, the situation in Xia Kingdom seemed to be gradually becoming clearer, and Duan Yunlun was no longer able to return to the sky.
It's just that no one expected that Duan Yunlun would lead the 300,000 troops guarding him to escape on the day Xiao Jingde's army broke through Xia Guojing's division, and with the support of Huang Shujing Wang, he once again gathered a large army to counterattack, and his battle with Xiao Jingde lasted for five years.
This year, Xu Manman was eight years old, and it was rare to encounter peach blossom snow in the capital, the weather suddenly became cold, and the winter clothes that were originally placed in the cage were taken out again.
But early in the morning, the general's mansion became a chicken and a dog jumping, not for anything else, just because yesterday Xu Manman went to the palace for a banquet, and the little prince of Chu who had just arrived in the capital had a dispute, the two fought in the palace, although Xu Manman won in the end, but the little prince of Chu hurt her favorite ferret, and she was reprimanded by Xu Junze when she came back, so she left a note and ran away from home this morning.
"Mother, sister, did she really run away from home?" The tiger-headed Xu Mingshuo blinked his big innocent eyes and looked at his mother-in-law Lin Shuran, who was helplessly touching his forehead.
He is four years old this year, he is an adult, he wants to share his mother's worries, but his mother always dislikes him for being small, even his brothers, he doesn't let him do anything, he is afraid of falling down when he walks, and he is afraid that he will choke when he eats, but he is an adult, he can do anything.
Lin Shuran rubbed his eyebrows again, and then gently rubbed his youngest son Xu Mingshuo's chubby face, this child has been worried since he was born, and he wanted to help with things at a young age, and a few days ago he said that he would go to Southeast County to accompany his fourth brother Xu Mingfan to take office, and also said that he would go to Suzhou to find the whereabouts of his fifth brother Xu Mingyuan.
A few years have passed in the blink of an eye, a lot of things have happened in the middle, and a lot of newcomers have been added to the General's Mansion, Xu Mingchen and Lei Lingshan, Xu Mingye and Su Ge got married together two years ago, even Chen Jiayu and Lei Yingying and she also gave birth to a second child, Xiao Chen is already the father of two children, and there is one more in Lian's belly, and he will give birth in a few months.
The sister in the palace, Concubine Yun, gave birth to a little prince, and in the second year after she gave birth to the fifth prince Zhao Xu, she was canonized as the queen by Emperor Zhao You, and Concubine Jing was promoted to the imperial concubine, and many newcomers were added to the palace.
Lei Lingshan and Su Ge got pregnant not long after they got married, and it happened that the two got married on the same day, gave birth to a child on the same day, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, two days ago, these four children just passed the first birthday.
The third child, Xu Minghan, has long passed the age of marriage, but he always delays the marriage on the grounds of doing business abroad, Lin Shuran knows that he may still be thinking about Xiao Yanyan in his heart, in the past few years, this child has not run away to Xia Guo, and has secretly funded Xiao Jiajun, Lin Shuran did not force him to marry, after all, she heard that Xiao Yanyan is also single now.
Not only the third child, but also the other children of the Xu family have grown up in a blink of an eye, and when it is time to start a family, she thought that when the children are older, she will be able to become easier, but she finds that she thinks things too simply, and the questions about the children are always increasing rather than decreasing.
Now Xu Mingchen has taken over the position of Lei Zhanpeng's city guards and horses, and has become a military general and official of Zhengyipin, he can do things in the court with ease, but the peach blossoms are a little prosperous, and many noble daughters would rather be concubines than make up for him, for this matter, she has been dealing with the noblewomen in the capital over the years, fortunately, Xu Mingchen and Lei Lingshan have a deep relationship with their husbands and wives, and they can also stand the test, but they are as loving as ever.
As for the other Xu family boys, they have also grown a lot over the years, but they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but as the young master of the General's Mansion, he doesn't look for trouble, he will find him for something, and the days pass in such a seemingly peaceful and unpeaceful time, and the only thing that can give Lin Shuran a headache is her most cherished daughter Xu Manman.
I don't know if it's a genetic mutation, or this child lives in the palace and is spoiled by the queen mother and the emperor, it's just not afraid of heaven and earth, there is nothing she doesn't dare to do, when she was three or four years old, she dared to jump down from the roof of the palace when she tied a paper wing, when she was five years old, she studied what the sky was cracking, and she almost didn't lift the roof of the imperial dining room, and when she was six years old, she took a group of little brothers to catch thieves, and the dogs in the capital at night saw her and barked in fright, and at the age of seven, she had to dig up the Keju Garden of the Zhenguo Mansion to raise fish, In the end, Zhenguogong's family was stunned and allowed her, and just after the age of eight, she beat the little prince of Chu State, causing the envoys of Chu State to refuse to let go in the palace, but she was still reasonable, and she ran away from home!
It doesn't matter if Xu Manman ran away from home, it was not only the General's Mansion that was alarmed, from the emperor to the common people, all of them were busy looking for her traces on a snowy day, no, Lin Shuran was in charge of watching the children at home, and everyone else went out to look for it.
The two pairs of dragon and phoenix fetuses slept very sweetly next to Lin Shuran's grandmother, and the youngest Xu Mingshuo was also strictly ordered to "protect" his mother at home, and Lingqin and Feiyue, who had been combed into a woman's bun, were still serving as female guards by Lin Shuran's side.
"Your sister is really uncomfortable!" Lin Shuran sighed helplessly, Xu Manman's naughty mischief is really more difficult to manage than a boy, fortunately, this child is just lively and naughty, but her nature is good, and the reason for every trouble is that she has a strong sense of justice at a young age, and this time it was the other party's fault that she couldn't help but take action.
In fact, Xu Junze dotes on Xu Manman's daughter very much, and he protects everything in secret, and he just wanted Xu Manman to know right and wrong last night, but he didn't expect this girl to be unconvinced, so she really ran away from home, and now she is looking for her outside.
Until the snow stopped and it was night, everyone still couldn't find Xu Manman's trace, Lin Shuran couldn't sit still anymore, such a big child could find all the places she could find, where could she go?!
Just when Lin Shuran handed over the child to Lei Lingshan and Su Ge and planned to go out to find it in person, Xu Minghao ran back from outside with the cold air of spring snow, and he told Lin Shuran that his group of beggar brothers in the capital seemed to see Xu Manman disguised as a beggar and went out of the city, and Xu Junze had now taken someone to look for her outside the city.
"You take care of several children at home, I'll go to her too!" Lin Shuran asked Lingqin and Feiyue to immediately prepare their horses, and then the three of them went out of the city together, saying that they would arrest Xu Manman, the little girl, home.
