Haosheng appeased the clansmen, and then put them all in order, and Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pucai returned to their residences worriedly.

The eldest lady immediately hugged Li Xiaoniang and followed in: "Daddy, Auntie, is An Lushan really going to rebel? Two days ago, I listened to my uncle and uncle, and they all seemed to say that An Lushan was about to be unable to hold back. ”

Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and then touched the little face of the sleeping little lady Li: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Things have come to this point. It would be futile for us to say that. With this time, you might as well spend more time with your family and children. ”

When war breaks out, the men must be out on a campaign. They don't know when they will be able to get along day and night.

"What am I doing with him? He was in the barracks every day, and he was not at home for three or five days a month, and I was used to it. If there is a real war, I can take someone with me to protect you. The eldest lady said disappreciably.

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh. "Am I in need of protection?"

"Yes, A-Niang, you are the weakest person I have ever met. If something happens, I don't worry about anyone. I'm just worried that you won't be able to bear the pain of running around. The eldest lady said sincerely.

Mu Jiaojiao was suddenly speechless.

Cui Pu heard this, but was greatly moved: "It's really not easy, big lady, you can be regarded as considerate of your father and aunt!"

The eldest lady chuckled awkwardly. "Raising children knows the kindness of their parents. Now that I have given birth to a little lady, I know how much my father and mother have paid for me. It's just that now the daughter has married a wife. The ability to repay parents is also limited. The only thing I can do is to stand up and help you in times of crisis. ”

"It's enough for you to have this heart. Mu Jiaojiao smiled, "But I think that while there is still time now, you might as well go back and stock up on some medicinal materials, and then bring people to prepare some more pills for treating bruises and knife wounds, so as to prepare for emergencies." ”

"That's right! It's still A-Niang's thoughtful!" The eldest lady woke up like a dream, and jumped up and ran out when she was busy, "I know, I'm going back to ask someone to start preparing! Time is pressing, and there is no time to delay!"

This kid ......

just praised her for knowing how to be considerate of her parents, and she began to be busy for his husband again. The corners of Cui Pu's mouth twitched, and his face became ugly.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled gloatingly: "Now do you accept the reality?"

"Can you accept it? She has already shown her attitude so obviously!" Cui Pu said with a snort.

Mu Jiaojiao laughed again.

"You're still laughing! You're still laughing!" Cui Pu was so angry by her reaction again, "This is also the daughter you gave birth to!"

"Alright, let's not want to be unhappy. While there is still time, let's prepare some practical pills. Although there are a lot of preparations in the warehouse now, there is always nothing wrong with preparing more. Mu Jiaojiao took his hand and fell as she walked, "Thanks to the fact that we chose to cultivate herbs here. Otherwise, if you bring herbs from outside in a big way, it will always arouse suspicion. And this kind of thing, now that we talk about it, it will be regarded as alarmist. ”

"Yes, many people should think that we are crazy, especially the one in Luoyang, Chang'an. Cui Pu whispered, passively following her inside. However, he couldn't help but look back at the door again, "Sure enough, the water spilled by the married daughter, my eldest lady, her heart is now all on her in-law's family, my eldest lady ......"

Half a month has passed.

These people from Chang'an are accustomed to the dry and cold climate in Chang'an, and they are pampered one by one. After arriving here, the men were fine, but the women fell ill most of them after they stayed. Mu Jiaojiao originally wanted to say that she would make more emergency pills. As a result, who would have thought that she would spend most of her time taking care of these patients.

It was easy to wait for the patient's condition to improve a little, and in the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of the Thorn Mansion.

"Deputy Envoy Cui, Envoy An Jiedu is invited, you can go with us quickly, and you don't need to change your clothes!"

When Cui Pu saw this, he knew that something big had happened.

He quickly put on a robe and went with the lieutenant. This time he went, but he never returned all night.

It was only the next morning that he returned, exhausted. Mu Jiaojiao handed him a hot soup: "It's started?"

Cui Pu bowed: "It's started." Moreover, because An Jiedu has a great relationship with An Lushan, now that An Lushan has done such a thing, he can no longer lead the troops. Last night he had already written to the saint and was willing to surrender his military power. From today onwards, he will no longer interfere in the affairs of Hexi, and will only wait for Chang'an to reply to the news before relocating him. ”

If the envoy of the festival does not care about anything, then the matter will fall on him, the deputy envoy. If nothing else, the news from Chang'an is also for him, the person who is most familiar with Hexi now, to take over.

Mu Jiaojiao's heart thumped, and suddenly she wanted to grab him and ask if you don't want to go?

But looking at the excitement on Cui Pu's face, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Cui Pu is indeed very excited now. An Lushan rebellion. This is an opportunity for him. An Sishun hurriedly called him over last night, that is, he gave him all the things at hand, and if the imperial court wanted to dispatch soldiers from Hexi to fight the rebels in the future, he would be the leader of the Hexi army.

Sixty thousand soldiers, O chief. Lead them to fight bravely to kill the enemy and defend their homeland and country. This is the wish of many iron-blooded men, and it is also what he wanted to do the most when he was young! He always thought that this would only be a dream for him in this life, but who knew that now his dream has come true! He was the first to get the privilege of killing enemies!

In his excitement, he didn't have time to react to Mu Jiaojiao. Then he said excitedly: "From now on, the envoy of Anjiedu will close the door to thank the guests, and no one will be gone." Since I took over the affairs here, then I naturally have to say hello to Brother Guo and them. I'm nowhere near them in terms of marching formation, and it's best if we can join forces. By the way, I still have to ask my father-in-law where their horses were, and now they can bring all the horses they have in one go. No more stealing one or two horses!"

After chattering for a long time, he turned around and found that Mu Jiaojiao was a little absent-minded.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked quickly.

"Not really. It's just that I've been hearing people say that An Lushan will definitely be against it before, and recently there have been more people saying it. I was ready, but when the day suddenly came. I felt like the surroundings were too calm, not quite like I had imagined. Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

"That's natural. An Lushan raised his troops this time under the pretext of 'worrying about the danger of the country' and crusading against Yang Guozhong under the pretext of a secret edict, and their men and horses were all heading straight to Chang'an, so how could they make trouble here with us?" Cui Pu said. He took her by the hand and walked inward.

Mu Jiaojiao quietly followed into the inner room. The maid brought hot water and clean clothes, and Mu Jiaojiao served him to bathe and changed into clean clothes, and then combed his hair in the mirror.

After cleaning up, Cui Pu fell asleep on the couch tirely.

Mu Jiaojiao sat on the side, looking at his face with a little excitement even if he fell asleep, and sighed softly.

In the days that followed, the rumors began to come out. An Lushan united with the Luo, Xi, Khitan, Murowei, Turkic and other ethnic groups to form a total of 150,000 soldiers, claiming to be 200,000, and went to Chang'an under the banner of the Qing monarch's side. Because the country has been calm for many years, most of the country's military forces are deployed in the border areas, the people are neglected to fight, and all weapons and horses are not in place. Not the same as a well-trained rebel army. They went all the way north, burning, killing and looting, and Hebei Prefecture and County immediately collapsed, and the local county orders either fled or surrendered. For a short period of time. The rebels took control of most of the counties in Hebei, and some counties in Henan also surrendered.

The saints of Chang'an were also furious when they heard the news, and even mobilized their men and horses to resist. Anxi Jiedu envoy Feng Changqing concurrently served as Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu envoy to defend Luoyang, and then appointed his sixth son Rongwang Li Wan as the marshal, and Gao Xianzhi, the general of the right Jinwu, as the deputy marshal of the Eastern Expedition. An Sishun was indeed withdrawn from his military power and transferred back to Chang'an to take up a fictitious position with no real power. The Shuofang Jiedu envoy was taken over by Guo Ziyi, and the Hexi Jiedu envoy was served by Cui Pu, and the two also led the troops to the east to fight for An Lushan in accordance with the holy order.

Long before the appointment of the imperial court, Cui Pu had exchanged countless letters with Guo Ziyi and others, and secretly made a plan.

When the appointment of the imperial court was issued, Cui Pu was already ready, so he just waited for dawn to turn over and get on his horse and lead the soldiers to fight a bloody road!

That night, Mu Jiaojiao solemnly hung a slightly larger purse around his waist: "The medicinal materials and food to be used on the road have all been loaded into the car, and I have also taught the accompanying military doctors how to use them." With such a purse, you, Dalang and Nanshan have one each. This is full of life-saving medicine, and don't take it out unless it's a life-or-death situation. In addition to yourself, others can give as little as you can, after all, this medicine is too little, and I have only made up for so many years. Protecting yourself is the most important ...... at all times"

As she spoke, she paused and slowly lowered her eyes: "Whether you are selfish or self-interested, anyway, no matter what, you and Da Lang have to do their best to protect themselves." If you lose this official position, there are still thousands of soldiers who can take over, and the New Tang Dynasty is a great country, and it will not fall without you, but if our family does not have you, it will be scattered......"

"Lady. Cui Pu suddenly called softly, and grabbed her slightly trembling hands.

Mu Jiaojiao slowly raised her eyes and smiled at Cui Pu.

"I remember all your words. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine. He smiled at her and said, "If it really comes to the point of life, don't worry, I will never sit there and wait for death." I am not such a loyal and patriotic person, let me spend my blood and sweat to defend the country, but there is only one life, and I will never give it up easily. If I really can't, I'll run secretly. Even if I want to die, I will die with you, so I don't want to die with those stinky men!

Mu Jiaojiao heard the sour feeling in her heart. She wanted to raise her lips and smile at him, but the tears rolled down uncontrollably.

"Don't cry, don't cry......" Cui Pu hurriedly cupped her cheeks in distress, and carefully leaned up to lick away all the tears for her.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly pushed him away. "How old are you to still play this?"

"No matter how old you are, you're my wife, aren't you? I like to hug you and kiss you. Cui Pu said cheekily, so he hugged her tightly, "Lady, while there is still some time in the end, you let me kiss her!"

Mu Jiaojiao took a deep breath and hugged him tightly.
