Chapter 685 The Grand Finale (3)
Yixuan never hides anything from her, and occasionally talks about military affairs with her.She read more books like historical records on weekdays, and talked about them endlessly.

Madam Hou didn't know this, she was dumbfounded but thought it made sense.Ruoxi raised her head and saw her mother-in-law's expression, she stopped talking immediately, she knew she had made a slip of the tongue today.

"How can you, a woman, know so much?" A sharp voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Ruoxi was startled, she looked up and saw Master Hou standing at the door and jumped up in a panic.She didn't foolishly think that Lord Hou could accept her thoughts like Yixuan and tolerate her unruly behavior.If these words reach the emperor's ears, I'm afraid she will be stripped of her skin even if she is not dead!
She lowered her head, but she could still feel the ice-cold eyes of Master Hou, and she calmed down a little and replied, "I don't know so much, I just read a few books like historical records, and listened to the son of the world. That's all."

"That kid reports everything to his wife." Master Hou's words sounded obviously displeased, Ruoxi didn't dare to answer.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou hurriedly said: "Don't make things difficult for her to scare her. I insisted that she tell me. It's just us girls talking nonsense, who would take it seriously?" After finishing speaking, she gave Hou Ye a wink .

She knew Hou Ye's temperament, except for being a bit nice in front of her, even when meeting the old lady, she seldom smiled.Seeing that Ruoxi was so frightened that she shrank her hands and feet together, Madam Hou hurriedly spoke for her daughter-in-law.

Hearing her words, Hou Ye's face softened a little.He walked to the desk and sat down, picked up Ruoxi's sketch, looked at it carefully for a while, and gradually frowned.

"What else did Yixuan tell you before he left?" He asked with a solemn expression.

Ruoxi's heart tightened suddenly, and she thought to herself: Anyway, what she just said just now is enough to convict her, so she simply speaks out what's in her heart.If I can remind Lord Hou one or two, at least I can help Yixuan a little bit.The situation of their father and son in Huihe is unknown, and if the emperor sent troops a quarter of an hour later, they would be in more danger.

Thinking of this, Ruoxi slightly raised her head and replied: "Before the son left, he had envisioned the current situation. He once told me that if there is chaos in Huihe, the world will be in chaos! But the Celestial Dynasty has always been strong, as long as the other five small Fanbang are not twisted If they are united, nothing will happen. Tubo has been married to the Celestial Dynasty for generations, and the current Tubo princess is still the emperor's sister. As long as someone is sent to find out the reason, it will not be reinforcements, but it will not be able to join them .Although Dashi is coveting, but as long as Huihe is in his hands, there is nothing to worry about. The people of Goryeo and the Western Regions are tough, and all men, women, and children in the clan can ride and shoot. It would be bad if they colluded with Dashi. But Goryeo has a natural barrier with the Celestial Dynasty. Blocking, as long as you stick to the mountain to prevent Fanbang from crossing the mountain, there is still a chance to breathe. However, the cavalry in the Western Regions are elusive, and there will be some trouble at that time, I am afraid you will have to fight! But the environment in the Western Region is special, and the firearms battalion can restrain it! Now the prince Lord Hou and Yijun are both in Huihe, and I am afraid that they have been caught in the flames of war for a long time, so I ask Lord Hou to beg the emperor to make a decision earlier, so as not to lose the opportunity and end up being attacked by the enemy!" After saying that, he knelt down, "I am a woman! People, it has already committed a serious crime to talk about the affairs of the court. I just think about my husband and son who are away from the army, and I ask Lord Hou to find a way to help them, I would rather be severely punished!"

Ruoxi didn't dare to move without hearing Master Hou's words after these words, and after a long while, he heard Master Hou say: "Although these words are for you to hear, women should know what they can say and what can't be said. This house, you forget all these words! Go back!"

"Yes!" Ruoxi's heart relaxed, she agreed and got up and retreated.

Seeing that the door was closed, Mrs. Hou said softly: "The young couple have everything to talk about, why should you get angry with your daughter-in-law. She is a smart child, she will definitely not say such things casually, don't worry!"

After hearing this, Master Hou's eyes became darker, and he was a little puzzled. Is it really Yixuan's wife who just talked about it?Before Yixuan set off for the expedition, their father and son had a long talk. Although Yixuan said the same things as his wife, he didn't mention anything about natural moats and cavalry.What their father and son talked about most was Huihe and Dashi, and they didn't have time to talk about other foreign countries.

"What does Yixuan's daughter-in-law do and who do they meet on weekdays?" He frowned and asked.

Mrs. Hou listened and replied: "except when she comes to me, she just goes to the old lady's house. Since Yixuan is not in the mansion, she doesn't go out very much. Those who come to see her are those sisters in the boudoir, and they are not as experienced as her. Guang. Don't be suspicious, no matter how smart and capable she is, she can't say these things, it must be Yixuan who told her!"

"This is the best, otherwise..." Hou Ye stopped halfway, remembering the emperor's decision.

The emperor in Tubo has sent people to inquire, lobby, and appease, and they must not be allowed to send troops to fight against the Celestial Dynasty.The emperor sent more troops from the vicinity of Xiaoling to station in the past to closely monitor the movements of Goryeo.In addition, he ordered the Firearms Battalion to secretly go to the junction of the Western Regions, and not only brought five firecrackers but also two red cannons.

The junction between the Western Regions and the Celestial Dynasty is a vast stretch of desert with no boundaries. The terrain is flat and there is nothing to cover it. If there is a cavalry attack, they will be seen from a long distance, and they can be killed with firearms!
Loyal ministers agreed upon hearing this, saying that the emperor had thoughtful and thoughtful arrangements.Hou Ye never expected that just now he heard roughly the same words from a woman.

His mind was a little confused, but after thinking about it, Mrs. Hou's words made sense.A girl who grew up in a small family, married in a well-behaved way, really can't explain such a big reason.

Meng Kuo was about to go to war, and there was no man in the mansion. It was really worrying, so he asked Wan Xia to take the child back to live in the Hou's mansion.

Now Ruoxi has a companion with the same fate, every day, the aunts and sisters-in-law get together to take care of the children, and comfort and talk to each other when there is no one around.

With the development of border deployment, rumors gradually spread in Kyoto.In order to appease the hearts of the people, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor ordered the palace to make grand arrangements.

The joy of the festival dilutes the uneasiness in people's hearts, but the situation at the border is becoming more and more tense.

Although Hou Ye never said a word about military affairs when he returned to the Hou Mansion, it is not difficult to deduce some clues from his increasingly dignified expression and the time when he returned to the mansion gradually.

Ruoxi couldn't sleep for a few hours a night, and often lay down when she was too sleepy to open her eyes, but she lost sleep in the blink of an eye.She knew it was because there was one less person around her, and the familiar smell was missing.She raised her bed to warm her pillow every night, and she didn't know what kind of crime Yixuan suffered at the border!

This morning, Wan Xia was much later than usual.Seeing the girl and mother-in-law bringing the children inside to play, she asked casually.
