Chapter 684 The Grand Finale (2)
At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the whole family sat around, and the old matriarch began to mutter again, "How can this training not come back even for the Chinese New Year? Do you have a letter from the second boy?" The first sentence is complaining about the emperor, but the latter sentence is not He asked Ruoxi.

"This training is a secret. As the commander, the second master naturally has to set an example. How can the soldiers not want to go home when the New Year's Eve is still running outside? How can he write letters back to make the soldiers panic?" Ruoxi He hurriedly replied with a smile: "But the ancestors don't have to worry, the training is not a real war, at most it is hard work."

After hearing this, Madam Hou nodded, feeling a little less worried.She once asked Hou Ye where her son and grandson were training. Hou Ye only vaguely said that it was the west side. How could she feel at ease with these two words?
Hou Ye sat next to the old matriarch, laughing and gossiping, trying to distract the old matriarch's attention in different ways.Right now, Yixuan sent someone back to send an urgent letter, saying that the situation in Huihe is not right, and the specific situation needs to be investigated again. I hope the emperor is ready.

However, Huihe is far away from the capital, and the letter was delayed for more than ten days on the road. I don't know what the situation is now.The emperor has ordered the soldiers guarding the border to be on alert at any time, pay close attention to all movements in Huihe, and report to the capital at any time.

Before the family banquet here was finished, news suddenly came from the palace, saying that the emperor Xuanhou Ye would enter the palace to discuss matters.

Everyone jumped when they heard this, especially Ruoxi, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, but fortunately the girl next to her was quick to catch it, so she didn't get into bad luck during the New Year's Eve.

The lively family banquet suddenly lost its lively atmosphere, and the old lady ordered them to take the children back and settle them down.Everyone moved to Anfuju to wait for the news from the palace. After a while, Lord Hou sent someone in to deliver a letter, saying that it was to discuss important matters of the court and had nothing to do with the Hou's mansion. Please don't worry about it.

The old matriarch also found out that several ministers from the Military Plane Department and Prince Rui were also announced into the palace by the emperor.Could it be that there is going to be a war?Everyone was puzzled in their hearts, Ruoxi's eyelids twitched violently, and she was extremely flustered.

After returning to Linfengju, Ruoxi didn't sleep well all night.The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and she had to get up early to pay New Year's greetings to her elders, and even putting on rouge couldn't hide the blue eyes.

But no one noticed this, because no one looked good, especially Mrs. Hou and the old lady.Lord Hou didn't return all night last night, so he sent a message back early in the morning, saying that he was having dinner in the palace, and he was not sure when he would be able to return home.

What a big deal!The old matriarch originally felt less sleepy when she was getting older, but she only squinted for a while last night.Mrs. Hou has long been used to the night when Master Hou is by her side, and she can't fall asleep alone.Their dark circles are heavier than Ruoxi's, and their faces are full of worry.

"There is no room for us to think about things in the court. There will be many relatives coming to the door today. Are you ready?" the old lady asked Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou hurriedly replied, and as soon as the words fell, a girl outside reported back, saying that the fourth aunt had returned to her mother's house with the child.

This Wan Xia just came back, Cai Xia also came to pay New Year's greetings with her husband, followed by younger generations from the clan.The Hou's mansion suddenly became lively, Ruoxi was busy taking care of Mrs. Hou, and couldn't be idle for a moment.

Master Hou came back in the middle of the night, looking exhausted, Madam Hou helped him to lie down without asking any further questions, only to hear him say "there is going to be a war".

Early the next morning, Ruoxi came over to Lianyanju to inquire about the news, and her expression changed when she heard these words.

With a haggard face, Madam Hou said, "Master went to the palace again early in the morning, tell me the truth, Yixuan really went out for training?"

At this time, I can't hide it even if I want to, everyone will know where Yixuan is going sooner or later.Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and nodded, Madam Hou's eyes immediately turned red when she saw it.

"I've been aware of something wrong for a long time. Yesterday, the master half-swallowed and said that there was going to be a fight in the west, and I had a bad feeling in my heart." Mrs. Hou held back her tears, "It takes more than two months for any training to go away. ? There is no news during the Chinese New Year? What about Yijun? Why did he follow? Where are their father and son now, and what happened?" She eagerly grabbed Ruoxi's hand, with unconcealable worry on her face .

Ruoxi was upset, but she couldn't show it in front of Madam Hou, she wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to answer Madam Hou's words.

On the contrary, Mrs. Hou patted her hand and said: "It's hard for you to bear it alone for so long, you must be more anxious in your heart. In fact, it's useless to ask you. What can you know? We women don't understand court affairs, so please be safe. Staying in the inner house is to help them. Take your children and wait for their father and son to come back with peace of mind. I believe that the Buddha will bless them. Before the old ten became sick like that, didn’t they come back from the gate of hell? Your husband and wife love each other so much, God knows I can’t bear to part with you. There’s also that child Yijun, who suffered from misfortunes and tribulations since he was a child. How could God have the heart to let him not enjoy the blessings? Our family goes to the temple every [-]th day to add sesame oil money, and pay filial piety in front of the Bodhisattva. No matter what, I still donate to accumulate blessings from time to time, no matter how I think about it, we shouldn't suffer bad luck!" At the end, Madam Hou was actually consoling herself more.

Although she is Mrs. Hou, she is still a woman who doesn't go out and doesn't go out. She doesn't know much about court affairs, let alone related to Fanbang.She has been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, and she only knows about her husband and son. Besides, the heavenly dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous for a hundred years. Who has experienced wars!

"My wife is right, their father and son will definitely return safely!" Ruoxi can only place her hope on the illusory gods, but she has traveled through before, and there is Feiyi's spatial beast in the future, what else in this world is unbelievable Woolen cloth?

Mrs. Hou comforted Ruoxi and herself in this way, but she was uneasy in her heart, so she pulled Ruoxi and said: "The old matriarch can hide it if you can, because her old man's asthma will get worse every year." .Although you are young, you know a lot. Tell me what is going on in those foreign countries? There are only our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here, so take it as gossip and have nothing to do with court affairs!"

Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, in fact, she was also very depressed in her heart, and right now she had caught someone who could talk about her thoughts.She took a pen and paper, and while drawing the geographic location between the Celestial Dynasty and the five foreign nations, she explained briefly.

"It is recorded in the "Historical Records" that 200 years ago, the world was in great chaos, and the emperor Taizu conquered most of the country with both civil and military powers, and the remaining remote areas were occupied by other five small foreign countries. After the war, the people suffered greatly. Zu Renci didn’t want to waste life, so after the Six-Party Talks, the world will be settled! After more than 100 years, the six parties will check and balance each other, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. However, most of them are ethnic minorities. They are dissatisfied with being in a remote place. They have repeatedly caused troubles in recent years, but they are afraid of the majesty of the great power of the Celestial Dynasty and have to restrain themselves. The Celestial Dynasty is connected to Tubo in the south, Huihe and Dashi in the west, Koryo in the east, and the Western Regions in the north. Among them, Huihe , Tubo has always been in awe of the Celestial Dynasty, and the most restless is Dashi. It’s just that Dashi and the Celestial Dynasty are separated by Huihe, but they want to make troubles, but they can’t go to the kang through the pot. Now Huihe’s internal turmoil, most afraid of Dashi Taking advantage of the opportunity to do unruly things, and then unite with foreign countries such as Goryeo and the Western Regions to form a pincer attack on the Celestial Dynasty. If this is really a threat to the Celestial Dynasty, then it is good that Tubo firmly supports the Celestial Dynasty, if not..." How many sleepless nights, Ruoxi was secretly thinking about the current situation in the world.
