"Fourth...Fourth Master..." Liusu was about to break free, but Duohai was still there, how could he...
"Don't move, give me a hug. I'm a little tired today." Zhu Minglie suppressed her struggle, closed his eyes, and hugged her tightly.
Duohai smiled sadly and left slowly.
He would never stay on her body for a moment.
"Liu Su, I will send troops to Khitan tomorrow. You can go with me." Zhu Minglie said lazily, smelling the fragrance in her hair.
"I can't bear to leave you, so go with me! Let me see you all the time."
*
Xunluo Garden was filled with a sadness of farewell.
Lan'er wiped her tears and said to Liusu, "Master, you are the best master to your servants I have ever met. Now... now you are going to fight with the Fourth Master. I, my slave... I really can't bear to leave you.
You."
"Silly Lan'er, it's not like I'm back. Don't cry. Don't cry. I heard that the Khitan has a lot of good things. When I come back, I will bring you many gifts." Liusu comforted Lan'er quickly.
"Master, I always think that fighting is dangerous, so you must take good care of yourself. The slaves clean the fumigation garden every day and prepare delicious food for you when you come back. This is the apricot blossom made by the slave.
I've brought the cake for you." Xingbai couldn't help but wipe away her tears as she packed things for Liusu.
"Hao Xingbai, you are so kind. I love eating the apricot blossom cake you made." Liusu couldn't help but blush. She had not gotten along with these maids for a short time, but they all had deep feelings for each other.
Xiaohe who was on the side took out a bag of melon seeds, stuffed it into the tassel bag, and said to her, "Master, sister, I saved up money to buy this for you. You eat a little every day, don't eat them all at once. Every time you eat,
It reminds me of the river."
"Xiaohe, thank you." Liusu was very touched after hearing this.
"Master, sister, my brother told me the day before yesterday that he has found the one he likes. It's Huahua, who washes clothes in the Thirteenth Master's house. Unfortunately, Huahua thinks my brother is too dark and not as good-looking as the Thirteenth Master. She feels very unhappy.
I'm happy. Master sister, after you come back this time, go and talk to Huahua. White is better, black is better, white is fragile, and black is durable. Although my brother is not better than Thirteenth Master, he still has his
benefit."
"Pfft..." Liusu couldn't help laughing after listening to Xiaohe's words, she said. "If Thirteenth Master knew that you said he was fragile, he would blush and get angry with you. Haha..." The rest
Several people also laughed.
Xiaohe didn't smile, she asked seriously -
"Master, sister, fighting is just like hunting. You may encounter big beasts and eat people. Just like my parents and elder brother, once they went out, they never came back."
"Bah, bah, bah... Xiaohe, why do you say such unlucky words? Our master and fourth master must be lucky and come back safely." After hearing this, Lan'er quickly stamped her feet on the ground and said.
After hearing this, Liusu's eyes dimmed.
In fact, she had never felt uneasy. Ever since Zhu Minglie said last night that he would go on an expedition today, her eyelids had not stopped beating. She had a vague feeling that this trip to Khitan would not be peaceful.

"Mom, are we going to be apart for a long time this time?" Xiao Qiluo reached out and hugged Liusu, burying her head in her arms and asked reluctantly.
"I don't know. It could be ten days and a half, but it could also be a year and a half..." Liusu caressed her daughter's face reluctantly.
"You didn't take me with you last time when you went on patrol, and this time you left me alone when you went to fight. Do you want me to go to war? Mother, I want to be with you." Xiao Qiluo couldn't help but play with her temper.
Zhu Minglie and Wu Yazi, who were wearing silver battle robes, stood aside and watched the mother and daughter say goodbye.
"Of course not. It's a war, it's not like playing house. You stay in the palace and study and write with Taifu Wei. I want to check and accept it when you come back."
"..." Xiao Qiluo was so unwilling to take her with him every time. It was so annoying.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Zhu Minglie came over, squatted down, and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. I will just send troops to protect her."
"How can that be done?!" Liusu immediately retorted after hearing this, "Fourth Master, this is a war, not a child's play. Don't spoil her too much."
"You, the king, can take care of me, so it doesn't hurt to have her as well. Qiluo, don't you think so?"
Since her wedding, Qiluo has not spoken a word to Zhu Minglie. When she heard her father talking to her, she did not respond and just looked down at her toes.
She still didn't forgive Zhu Minglie. When she saw Zhu Minglie's extended hand, she ignored it and turned her head away slightly.
"Qiluo!" Liusu reached out and patted her butt, but she still didn't look up at Zhu Minglie.
"I'm not going." Qiluo whispered.
"That's all." Zhu Minglie couldn't help but feel frustrated.
"Anyway, don't be willful. Stay at home with brother Wuyazi. You are not allowed to bully him or tease Taifu Wei. You have to be obedient, you know?" Liusu wanted to say a few words with a straight face before setting off, but
As he spoke, his voice began to choke and his eyes became red.
"Yeah." Qiluo nodded vigorously and said.
"Master, don't worry, I will protect her well." At this time, the child Wuyazi stood up and said like a flower protector.
"Well, Wu Yazi, I'll leave it to you." Liusu stood up, and then rushed to the north gate with Zhu Minglie.
"The prince is about to leave, and you still haven't said a word to him." Wu Yazi looked at Qiluo, who was looking at her parents leaving with a flat mouth and sniffling, and said.
Qiluo raised her head and glanced at him, "None of your business!"
"..."
"None of your business!"
"...it doesn't matter..."

The expedition ceremony begins.
All civil and military officials arrived at the Zhengbei Gate.
Emperor Zhuyue stood on the city wall, looking at his three sons below. This expedition was just like the six-year battle to quell the princes. Emperor Zhuyao, Zhuminglie, and Zhuyetong were still on the expedition together.
The only difference is that in this world full of men, there is one more woman.
