"What?"

Granny Yuan couldn't sit still at first, and denied it loudly, "How is this possible? ”

Xie Li closed his lips and was silent, his expression did not seem to be fake.

Granny Yuan's pupils shrank, stared at his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Child, what you said is true?" ”

Xie Li bowed his head, and his thin lips opened lightly, "The emperor has given an order to go north to suppress the enemy." ”

Song Huixin sensed that something was wrong, grabbed his cuffs, frowned and asked, "Who did the emperor send north?" ”

Xie Li sighed lightly, frowned, and said, "It's Lord Yue." ”

Song Huixin's heart tightened, and the hand holding his cuff loosened slightly.

Xie Li couldn't see her like this, raised his hand to hold her thin wrist, and said in a low voice, "Lord Yuezhang is brave and good at fighting, the emperor has allocated another 50,000 elite soldiers, and the ironclad army under Brother Jia's hand will not go wrong." ”

Song Huixin lost a smile on his face, and said depressedly, "My father once told me that the responsibility of the Song family is to be loyal to the king and protect the country, although I expected it...... But I still can't rest assured. ”

"When relatives go to the battlefield, whose heart will be steady?" Liu Fanyin sighed, a little worried on his face, "The war broke out, and everyone was ......caught off guard."

"You don't have to worry about this, go and send someone to ask." Granny Yuan looked angry, gently patted Xie Yinyin in her arms, and said in a deep voice, "The old body is home, not dead!" Dare to engage in these small actions behind your back, you really think that your death is too far away! ”

Fang Xu sat on it, hanging her head slightly, and the candlelight cast a shadow on her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Granny Yuan noticed her, turned sideways, leaned closer, and asked in a low voice, "Good girl, what are you thinking?" ”

Fang Xu came back to his senses, lifted his eyes, and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's a little strange." ”

When Xie Li heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he deliberately lowered his voice, "What does Mother think is weird?" ”

"You just said that there are cities and counties in the north that have been lost, but there must be Yan troops stationed in the cities near the border, and they fell so quickly, are the soldiers and generals in the city all killed?"

"The border is extremely well guarded, there are a lot of people, plus nearby reinforcements, and the city wall defense, no matter how bad it is, it can withstand some time, right? Besides, shouldn't the battle report be sent out immediately, how could it arrive in the capital after the city and county were lost? ”

Fang Xu's voice came into Xie Li's ears, causing him to be in a trance for a moment.

Suddenly, he thought of all sorts of things, but he forgot about the spy who sent the war report.

"This morning, when my son went to court, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked carefully, he saw a little soldier riding a horse into the palace." Xie Li's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "He is indeed talking about the loss of Luan County. ”

Song Huixin also sensed that something was wrong, sat up straight, and asked in a loud voice, "If he really left on the day of the enemy's attack, how could he know so clearly that Luan County had been lost?" ”

Xie Li thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth, "Could it be...... The Great Prince? ”

"Yuan Chi?" Song Huixin's eyes widened, and he looked puzzled, "Didn't he be crowned king early and go to the fiefdom, what does this have to do with him?" ”

Xie Li paused for a long time, sighed, and said quietly, "Some time ago, there was a scholar in the palace, saying that among the princes, there is a blessed son with a true dragon destiny, and he will become a great unification in the future. ”

"The emperor was furious and suspicious, and summoned all the princes back to the palace, even those who were far away in the fiefdom could not escape." Xie Li's tone was light, and there was no trace of turmoil on his face, "Lord Shen found out that the eldest prince was raising troops in Tuntian, and the number is not small. ”

"We guess...... Could it be that the eldest prince designed to separate Lord Yuezhang from the capital, taking advantage of the emptiness in the capital......"

Xie Li didn't say the rest of the words, but how could everyone not hear the meaning of the second half of his sentence.

"Let's investigate this matter again, now the emperor has issued an order to General Song to go north to annihilate the enemy, and no one can change it." Fang Xu raised his eyes, looked at Xie Li who was standing aside, and said in a low voice, "You go and communicate with your father-in-law and ask him to leave some people in the capital in case of emergency." ”

Xie Li nodded and replied in a low voice, "My son knows." ”

Song Huixin sat on the chair, looking a little uneasy, and muttered, "Xie Li......"

"Don't be afraid." Xie Li clenched her hand and comforted her in a deep voice, "As long as we work together, this day will not fall." ”

Song Huixin's heart was depressed, and the clothes on his back had already been soaked with sweat.

This is not the first time her father has gone on an expedition, but it is the first time she has been so bottomless, and she is panicked.

Fang Xu sighed lightly, glanced at Xie Li, and said softly, "Go down with Huixin and accompany her more." ”

Xie Li nodded, bent down to help Song Huixin, hugged her thin waist, and led her out of the hall.

"It's not early, so let's go down and rest with a chant." Fang Xu looked tired and said in a low voice.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law is retiring." Liu Fanyin got up slowly, watched Granny Zhang take the small ball, and then reflexively returned to the courtyard.

Only Fang Xu and Granny Yuan were left in the room, and the atmosphere became a little delicate for a while.

Like a child who had done something wrong, Granny Yuan hung her head slightly and asked in a low voice, "Good girl...... You don't want to wait until the kids aren't there and kick me out......"

Seeing her like this, Fang Xu couldn't help laughing, "Since I have promised you, I will not change again." ”

Granny Yuan's face was happy, and she immediately thought of something, her smile stiffened, she weakly stretched out a finger, and asked in a low voice, "Then can I make another request?" ”

Fang Xu was a little helpless and nodded slightly, "You say." ”

"Can I recognize you as a daughter?" Without waiting for her to respond, Granny Yuan hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm not the one who thinks about the girl and wants you to be the first!" ”

"I'm looking at you to fall in love, and I like everything you do." Granny Yuan seemed to be afraid of being rejected by her, and her face was embarrassed, "As well as the children in the family, I will treat them as my grandson." ”

Fang Xu was stunned, and Bai Ji behind him also widened his eyes in surprise, and the expressions of the master and servant seemed to be carved out of a mold.

Fang Xu looked at the old lady opposite, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and when he hesitated, he suddenly felt that someone was poking in the back.

"Madam, say yes!"

Bai Ji almost crushed his back molars, even if he was very excited in his heart, he didn't dare to show it, and when he saw his wife distracted, he immediately whispered a reminder, and he couldn't wait to rush up and come down for his wife.

Fang Xu felt funny, looked back at Granny Yuan, and the corners of his mouth rose, "Okay." ”

Bai Ji breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Do you really want to?" Granny Yuan's eyes widened, and she couldn't hide her surprise.

Fang Xu nodded with a smile, "Naturally." ”

That is the old queen of the northwest, a legendary figure of the Great Yan Dynasty, who recognizes her as a stepmother, then she is the daughter of the princess, and it is not harmful to Houfu Baili.

Such thick golden thighs are sent to the door for nothing, and a fool will not want it!

Besides, she also likes this old lady who loves to play treasures. (End of chapter)
