Chapter 664
The eldest princess was also very thoughtful, and she could tell something was wrong at a glance, she also stood up and asked, "But because of the civil strife in Xianbei?"

Xue Lince blew out the lighting lanterns, and naturally sat down with Tang Luoyu opposite his cousin, and after a moment of silence, he nodded his head and said, "That's right, the princess just married to Xianbei and such a big event happened, and I have lost a lot in the past to rehabilitate the south." In terms of military strength, if there is a war, I am afraid it will be another bloodbath."

Jing Shan quickly got into the mood, "War is naturally a waste of money and people. The only optimistic thing about this matter is that the battlefield is not in the Central Plains."

"Although we are not in the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains are still required to pay taxes," the eldest princess continued. "Now that General Hua has fallen, human lives are at stake. I don't know how the situation in Xianbei is, and I don't know whether the Central Plains should fight or not."

There seemed to be a dark cloud over everyone's heads, the four of them were depressed for a while, Xue Lince let out a long sigh, and opened his mouth to break the short and suffocating silence.

"In my opinion, the Central Plains should still participate in this matter. The Xianbei civil strife, the princess is in danger, how can there be any reason to watch?"

"We should still be able to fight." Jing Shan frowned, "It's just that we don't know the situation of Xianbei's civil strife now. If spies come to report or His Highness Xianbei asks for help, the Central Plains should send troops."

Everyone discussed for a long time, and the lanterns were cut and cut again, but there was still no discussion. The two couples bid farewell anxiously, but they could not sleep when they returned home.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still dark, the dome was dark, and the moon was still hanging in the west, a rush of horseshoes suddenly broke the silence of the streets in the capital, and they ran all the way to the palace.

When the guards stationed outside the palace heard the movement, they quickly led people to stop them, but saw that the person who came was not an assassin, but a Xianbei spy who came running alone.

The sound of the horse's hooves approached gradually, and only then did the guards smell a bloody smell from the Xianbei man.

"Xianbei...Xianbei..." The man, speaking in his unfluent Central Plains dialect, got off his horse in a hurry, and fell to the ground with a "slap" before he could stand firmly on his feet.

The guard was shocked, and hurried to support him, and stretched out his hand to touch it, only to realize that the Xianbei man's body was covered in blood foam, and there were a few arrows sticking out of his back.

"Xianbei... has fallen, Your Highness begs His Majesty for help..."

The Xianbei man panted heavily, and took out a leather case from his arms with trembling hands, and the guards quickly took it. At this point, the Xianbei man seemed to have finally completed his mission, and his eyes widened , died.

Everyone knew the news of the civil strife in Xianbei recently, guessed that it might be His Highness Xianbei's personal letter asking the emperor to send troops for help, so they hurriedly sent it to the imperial court.

The little emperor had already woken up, and when he heard that Xianbei had sent a messenger, he hurriedly took the leather case and opened it. The leather case was stained with blood, and most of the letters inside were also wet with bright red. The little emperor quickly browsed through it, and then Immediately issued an order and agreed that the regent led his troops to Xianbei for rescue.

However, General Hua is still in Xianbei, and the regent can be in command, but unfortunately there are no capable soldiers under him. He has mixed feelings in his heart. Remembering that Xue Lince performed well when he went south to rehabilitate him, he thought about taking him along with him.

The Minister of the Ministry of War soon learned of the news, and immediately went to find Xue Lince without stopping.

Both of them worked in the Ministry of War, and it was quite smooth to find someone for each other. Xue Lince knew that there was something to do when he saw Shang Shu's hard-to-talk appearance, so he asked straight to the point: "Master Shang Shu, do you have something important to ask?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War sweated on his forehead, "I do have an important matter, but it is not my important matter. If Lord Xue agrees, it will be a contribution to my Great Central Plains. It is a good thing, and I am afraid that the Lord will not agree."

The more senior officials talk, the more they love to beat around the bush. Xue Lince has long been accustomed to the way these people speak, so he said again: "Since it is a good thing, why don't you just speak up?"

Shang Shu wiped the sweat off his face, and sighed, "Master Xue, do you know about the fact that the prince is in command?"

Xue Lince was stunned for a moment, but before responding, he continued, "His Royal Highness Xianbei sent a letter to inform the situation of the civil strife one by one, and the emperor agreed to send troops to help, but it's a pity that General Hua is not here, and there is no one in the court who can calm the chaos There are many, and there are fewer people with actual combat experience. The regent is fully responsible for this matter, and he is also very distressed..."

While he was talking, he looked distressed, Xue Lince heard something strange, his temples twitched, and asked: "In this case, is the prince planning to take me with him?"

Seeing him say it himself, Shang Shu finally felt relieved, but soon there was a row of sweat on his forehead, "Exactly, there are really few people who can lead soldiers in this court. You have fought side by side with the prince before. It is human nature for the next prince to choose you to go with him, if you can help, the matter of Xianbei will be settled as soon as possible."

Shang Shu tried his best to advise, and talked endlessly, Xue Lince listened to it, and his heartstrings became more and more tense.

He is just a servant of the Ministry of War, he has only been in office for a short time, and he only has a daughter in his family. Now that he is asked to go to Xianbei thousands of miles away to rehabilitate him, how can he be assured of his family affairs?
Thinking of it this way, his mind became more and more confused, and he was still a little confused when he returned home.

Tang Luoyu and him had a good understanding, and he was a little restless all morning. Seeing his situation when he came home, he made a lot of guesses about the matter in his mind.

"Why are you so out of your mind?" She stepped forward to hold Xue Lince's hand, "But something big happened?"

Xue Lince just came back to his senses, turned his eyes, and met her eyes, "Xianbei sent a messenger this morning, hoping that the emperor will send troops to help, and the emperor immediately agreed. Now, it has been decided to let the regent take command of the expedition."

Tang Luoyu's heart sank, and he had already figured out what was going on, "There is no one in the court leading troops, but the lord wants you to go together?"

Xue Lince was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, with a painful expression in his eyes, but he didn't want Tang Luoyu to suddenly relax and smile.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead for him, "If you say it, I will be at ease in my heart. Protecting the family and the country is the most important thing. I am naturally willing to let you go."

A warm current surged in Xue Lince's heart, "I'm leaving, what should you do?"

Tang Luoyu patted his hand, "I went with you the last time I went south to rehabilitate myself. I have long been used to the battlefield. This time, I will go with you too."

Xue Lince's temples twitched, but he was still a little worried, "Then what should I do to please myself?"

"There are so many people in the family, can you still worry about pleasing yourself?" Tang Luoyu smiled gently, "You don't have to worry, I will go with you, I will go wherever you go."

The husband and wife held hands together, Xue Lince nodded heavily, and said firmly, "Okay."
