Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Xie Li suddenly froze, turned around blankly, and looked at Shen Ji who was standing in the crowd from a distance.

Shen Ji naturally heard Xiao Bing's words clearly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he pursed his thin lips.

The matter was so important that the officials around him no longer avoided anything and hurriedly gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Isn't the Northwest doing business with us? Why did they suddenly raise troops to invade?"

"It has not been half a year since the two countries negotiated a peace, how dare they!"

"Luan County fell so quickly. It's obvious that they were well prepared!"

The officials chattered endlessly, and the sound reached Xie Li's ears, making his already livid face darker.

In the Jinluan Palace, the atmosphere was extremely depressing. The emperor was sitting on the throne, his face as pale as earth.

"What a northwest man, you think Dayan is easy to bully!" The emperor stood up and slapped the table, his eyes as sharp as a cold pool.

The officials below didn't dare to breathe, and they just tried to persuade the emperor to calm down.

The emperor frowned and called out in a loud voice, "Song Aiqing."

Song Fei stepped forward sideways and stood in the center of the hall, "I'm here."

"The barbarians in the northwest ignored the peace treaty, betrayed their faith, and seized our mountains and rivers. Song Aiqing is extremely brave. Will you lead the army to fight against that rat?"

The emperor's low and hoarse voice came from above his head. Song Fei's expression did not change, he clenched the wat tablet in his hand, his voice was strong and powerful, "The emperor has ordered me to do my best, and I must do my best to defend the northern border and recapture the city and county!"

The emperor stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes fell on Song Fei's head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay! Song Aiqing is dedicated to the country. I am very pleased. I have specially ordered you to be the general, lead an army of fifty thousand, and go north with General Song." .”

"When Aiqing's class teacher returns to the court, I will personally take care of you!"

Song Fei bent down and said in a respectful tone, "I thank the Lord for your kindness."

Hearing his father-in-law's words, Xie Li felt his heart beating very fast, as if something had gone beyond his expectation.

Everything happened so fast, so fast that he didn't even have time to react. The heavy responsibility of resisting the enemy fell on his father-in-law.

Just when Xie Li was about to take action, he caught a glimpse of Shen Ji beside him, turning his face sideways. He looked back, only to see Shen Ji pursed his thin lips and shook his head towards him.

The foot that was about to step out was stopped. Xie Li's face turned pale, his heartbeat was thundering, and he stared at Shen Ji.

After the morning session, Xie Li looked for the tall figure and chased after him.

"Master Yue Zhang."

Hearing the voice of his good son-in-law, Song Fei turned slightly and saw that it was Xie Li. He immediately smiled and said, "Good son-in-law."

Xie Li followed his footsteps, tightened his lips, and said in a deep voice, "The northwest is making a comeback. The reason is unknown. Isn't it too rash for my father-in-law to lead the army so easily?"

Song Fei paused, then laughed loudly, his hand fell on his shoulder, and he patted him gently, "Good son-in-law, I know you are worried, but it is inevitable to disobey your orders. As a general of a country, I must be able to accept it." This burden.”

Xie Li gritted his teeth and still insisted on his idea, "But things happened suddenly, and the cause and effect are still unknown. If something really happened to my father-in-law..."

"A good son-in-law." Song Fei suddenly straightened his expression, put his big hand around his shoulders, and whispered, "Fighting for the country, I will die without regrets."

"Everyone in our Song family is a military general. We have assisted five emperors. We have never had second thoughts. It is the mission of the Song family to protect this country."

Song Fei raised his head, looked into the distance, and said slowly, "Every time I go on an expedition, the thing I worry about the most is Jiaojiao. Now that she is married, and you are by her side, I no longer have any worries." Wang. Looking at Xie Li's worried eyes, Song Fei couldn't help but laugh, and comforted him in a deep voice, "Don't worry about this. Your father-in-law and I have been a general for many years, and I have never suffered a defeat."

"Those barbarians have always been defeated by me, and I have never even taken them seriously!"

Xie Li's eyes darkened and he remained silent, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.

As the afterglow gradually dissipated, the four of them returned to the Dongcheng Courtyard and sat together. There was a low stove in the middle, with tea warming on it and steaming out.

"It's weird from the northwest." Yuan Chen played with the tea cup in his hand and said calmly, "It happened so suddenly that I didn't even react."

"Why didn't the superiors investigate, but directly sent General Song to fight back?" Lu Qingfeng held his chin, puzzled, "In the past, when there were wars, the emperor was not like this!"

Shen Ji sat on the stone bench with a dull look on his face, staring at Xie Li opposite him. Seeing that he remained silent, he spoke first, "Xie Li, do you also think something is wrong about this matter?"

Xie Li nodded slightly and frowned slightly, "The northwest is short of supplies, and they have already taken advantage of the peace and trade negotiations between the two countries. I don't think he will ask for trouble and send troops to Dayan."

When Shen Ji heard this, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he said warmly, "Could it be the eldest prince?"

"Elder Brother?" Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows with a confused look on his face, "How could Lord Shen think of him?"

"It's just a guess. My thoughts are consistent with Xie Li's." Shen Ji slowly shook his head and opened his thin lips. "The northwest will not send troops without reason. They have already reaped the benefits of trade. If they send troops to attack Dayan again, I'm afraid Even the people don’t recognize it.”

Lu Qingfeng thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Could it be that the eldest prince has made full preparations, but because General Song is in charge of the capital, he is being planned to send him away?"

Xie Li's mind was a little confused and he couldn't figure it out for a while, "What about Luan County? Did it fall into the hands of Northwest or..."

"No one can say for sure at the moment." Yuan Chen lowered his face, crossed his shoulders with his hands, and whispered, "Master Shen, please get people to investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really the eldest brother... we cannot let General Song leave under any circumstances." Beijing!"

Shen Ji nodded, his voice gentle, "Yes."

As night fell over the capital, an inconspicuous carriage drove leisurely towards the Yongcheng Houfu.

"Madam, we have arrived at the Houfu." Danyun opened the curtain and lowered her voice because it was night.

Fang Xu Youyou woke up, hummed softly, and woke up Miao Xuan beside him, "Mother-in-law, get up."

"Are we here?" Miao Xuan moved, sat up with his arms propped up, and said in a hoarse voice, "Where is Miss Fang?"

Fang Xu stepped on the footstool and got out of the car, and said softly, "We're here. My sister's house is close, so Xu got out of the car first."

Miao Xuan responded and followed her, letting Danyun help her down.

"Mother?"

There was a voice behind him, and Fang Xu paused in his steps. He looked back sideways and saw Xie Li's handsome face and the long sail holding a lamp beside him.

Fang Xu looked at the sky and asked softly, "What time is it now? Why are you back so late?"

"I got stuck by some trivial matters." Xie Li chuckled, his eyes falling on Miao Xuan on one side, and he was slightly startled, "This is..."

"The fortune teller brought back from the Qingling Mausoleum." Fang Xu curled his lips and introduced softly, "Grandma Miaoxuan, studied under the famous Taoist Master Xuanzhen."

Xie Li's eyes widened, unable to hide his surprise, "It's Taoist Master Xuanzhen again!"
