Xu Qi'an reluctantly went up to him. Before he could get closer, his aunt took the initiative to come closer, grabbed his arm, and said eagerly:

"How can Erlang go to the battlefield? He has never even killed a chicken. He is just a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken. The emperor asked him to go to the battlefield. This, wouldn't it cost his life?"

As he spoke, he started crying.

Xu Lingyue was also in the hall at this time, standing on the side, with a beautiful and refined face, and a slight frown on her eyebrows, worried about Erlang's safety.

"Mom, I am a seventh-grade benevolent person. I am a seventh-grade person. Dad is only a seventh-grade person." Xu Cijiu was not convinced.

"What's the use? Your father told me a long time ago that a seventh-grade scholar is as helpless as a ninth-grade warrior," my aunt said angrily.

Xu Erlang was immediately speechless...

Xu Qi'an patted the back of her aunt's hand to express comfort, and then said: "It's not that there is no way to solve it. The worst case scenario is that I will resign."

"Resign!" Auntie wiped away tears.

To a womanly family like her aunt, war is a catastrophic disaster. As a mother, she would rather her son give up his future than go to the battlefield.

"impossible!"

Xu New Year interrupted forcefully. As a scholar in the academy, how could he shrink back because he was afraid of going to the battlefield?

The aunt sat on the chair and said with tears: "You came out of my belly, I don't know how much you weigh? If you were half as capable as your elder brother, I wouldn't bother to care about you. But you are useless

Scholar, you are good at writing and fighting with others with a knife. Where did you get this ability?

"You are the only heir to the second wife. If something happens to you, I, I won't be able to survive either."

Xu Lingyue comforted her mother with a sad face.

"Mom, I practice the art of war. The battlefield is my home field and the place where I practice. Now I finally have this opportunity." He defended in a softer tone.

"Are you stupid?"

The aunt screamed: "That dog emperor wants you to die. He has a grudge against Ning Yan, and he wants our whole family to die. Are you stupid enough to send him there yourself?"

She shed tears, and in her excitement, she looked unusually ferocious.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qian was suddenly stunned. In fact, her aunt knew the situation of the Xu family very well. She knew that her nephew had offended the emperor and that the whole family was being targeted and was in a precarious crisis.

But she never expressed her worries in this regard, let alone complained about her "nosy" nephew. It was not because he was stupid, but because she regarded the nephew who had raised her as a family member and as a son.

Some people say they don't take you seriously, but in fact they love you in their hearts.

Xu Qi'an silently exited the inner hall, asked his servants to fetch the young mare, and galloped towards the watchman's office.

Haoqi Tower, seventh floor.

In the tea room, Xu Qian frowned and said: "Mr. Wei, that thief of Emperor Yuan Jing has really not given up on persecuting me. He sees that my reputation is at its peak, and I have Dean Zhao Shou, and you have the support of the prison guards, so he is unwilling to touch me for the time being.

So I set my sights on Cijiu."

Why did Xu Qian not leave the capital, but dared to investigate Emperor Yuan Jing privately? It was because he had the support of these three big bosses.

In addition, he kept a low profile and did not commit suicide in front of Emperor Yuan Jing.

But he knew that Emperor Yuan Jing would settle accounts with him sooner or later. This emperor was good at maneuvering, and he had enough patience to wait, such as this time.

Xu Qi'an himself was not afraid of Emperor Yuan Jing, but he was quite worried about his second uncle and Erlang. It was too easy for Emperor Yuan Jing to "frame the blame" on them.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Xu Qian asked tentatively: "Can Mr. Wei stop him from going back?"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Your Majesty has appointed you. It's hard to refuse."

Xu Qian sighed heavily: "I originally wanted to join the army with Erlang and protect him secretly, but I felt that if I also left the capital, my family would be in real danger, so I had to come to Wei Gong.

"Wei Gong is the commander of this expedition. Please help me take care of Erlang."

Jian Zheng and Zhao Shou will protect him, but will the two big guys act as bodyguards for him and protect his family?

Xu Qi'an doesn't have this confidence, but he has confidence only in Wei Yuan.

Jian Zheng and Zhao Shou regarded him as a pawn, so they only recognized him and not his family. Wei Yuan regarded him as a confidant and an important person, so Wei Yuan would take care of his family.

Wei Yuan drank tea and said with a smile: "I will arrange for Xu New Year to go to the north. Jiang Luzhong and Yang Yan have the best relationship with you. In addition, Chu Yuanzhen will also go to the north."

Xu Qian was suddenly surprised: "So you have made all the arrangements? You asked Chu Yuanzhen to join the army just to protect Erlang?"

dad!

Wei Yuan sneered and said: "That's just by the way. Chu Yuanzhen has unparalleled talent and love. It would be a pity to be a rogue. He is still a scholar with a heart for the world, but he resigned and went into seclusion because he was dissatisfied with His Majesty's practice of Taoism.

"As long as you still have the heart, you will not reject me. Such a good talent cannot be used in vain."

Chu Yuanzhen is also an old tool, Xu Qianxin said.

Wei Yuan immediately asked: "Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

He seemed to be looking forward to it.

Xu Qi'an chuckled twice, stood up, and saluted respectfully: "I wish Wei Gong a triumphant return."

Wei Yuan smiled noncommittally, seeming a little disappointed.

"Xu Qian!"

But when he said goodbye and left, Wei Yuan's voice suddenly came from behind him, "The world of Kyushu is more complicated than you think. Go ahead and follow your own path."

Xu Qi'an waited for a moment, but before Wei Yuan's explanation, he looked back at him: "Okay!"

After leaving Haoqi Tower, Xu Qian took out the fragments of the book and sent a private chat request to Chu Yuanzhen.

[3: Brother Chu, news just came from the Ministry of War. Like you, I also have to go out with the army. 】

[Four: Wei Yuan is also looking for you? Then is your cousin going too?]

Chu Yuanzhen was shocked and worried about Hengyuan. Without Xu Qian in the capital, could Hengyuan be successfully rescued by just relying on the "one, two, and five" people?

[3: Unlike you, I was appointed by Emperor Yuan Jing. 】

Xu Qian didn't curse Emperor Yuan Jing's viciousness, because Chu Yuanzhen would definitely understand, he was such a smart person.

【Four: No problem, I will take care of you.】

This is what I'm waiting for! Xu Qi'an immediately sent a message: [I will temporarily hand over the fragments of the book to my elder brother. Well, that's it, I have other things to deal with.]

Without giving Chu Yuanzhen a chance to ask questions, he quickly ended the private chat.

Alas, you still have to be honest as a person. Stop bragging on the Internet. If you are not careful, you will be held up and unable to come to Taiwan. Xu Qian's heartfelt emotion

On the other side, Xu Mansion.

After Xu Pingzhi received the news from the government, he immediately rushed home. Now he is sitting on a chair with a dark face, saying nothing.

"Master, tell me about this scoundrel and ask him to resign immediately," my aunt cried.

"Your Majesty is using a conspiracy." Xu Pingzhi sighed.

Either get out of the Hanlin Academy or go to war. The former will have his future ruined, and the latter will narrowly escape death.

Xu Pingzhi had experienced the Battle of Shanhaiguan and knew that his ability to come back alive was purely due to luck. The war in the north was definitely not as dangerous and fierce as the Battle of Shanhaiguan.

But Xu Erlang was not a martial artist and lacked the means to save his life on the battlefield.

Xu New Year sat aside and remained silent. He had already been beaten by his elder brother, so there was no need for him to be beaten by his father again.

The whole family was in despair.

Auntie kept sobbing and choking, Xu Lingyue comforted her with soft words.

"I see that eldest brother went out just now. He must have thought of a way. Mom, don't worry, wait until eldest brother comes back." Xu Lingyue said softly.

"We can only wait for news from Dalang."

The aunt wiped away the tears and looked out of the hall frequently, worrying about what was right and wrong: "But what can Dalang do? He is no longer an official, and he has offended the emperor."

Xu Pingzhi looked gloomy and said nothing.

At this time, they heard Xu Lingyin's clear and childish voice coming from outside: "Big pot~"

The family suddenly turned their heads and looked out of the hall, and sure enough they saw Xu Qi'an striding back and kicking away the younger sister who was coming towards them.

Xu Lingyin flew into Lina's arms. She smiled happily and expressed that it was fun to control Teng Yun.

Xu Qi'an used Qiao Jin. In the past, the brother and sister had always played this way.

"Dalang!"

"Brother!"

The four members of the family in the hall stood up at the same time and looked at Xu Qian.

Auntie said anxiously: "Dalang, have you thought of a way to prevent Erlang from going to war?"

Xu Qian shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty has appointed you, how can you refuse?"

Seeing that his aunt's beautiful face could not hide his disappointment, and seeing Uncle Xu's face dimming instantly, he said calmly:

"However, Wei Gong promised me that I would take care of Erlang. Moreover, Renzong's registered disciple Chu Yuanzhen will also go with the army. He has a good relationship with me and Erlang, and he promised me that he will protect Erlang well."

"master?"
