Yan Ling also began to prepare and would soon go to the north to garrison.
While Mrs. Zhao Guogong was packing his luggage, she muttered: "Is it as you wished this time? I always wanted to be on my own, so don't complain when I go!"
Yan Ling replied: "I won't complain! Once my father leaves, the Zhenbei Army will be worried. This is a matter of life and death. Even if I risk my life, I have to protect him for my father."
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhaoguo couldn't help but sigh: "You are more sensible than mother thought."
She looked at her son in front of her, and before she knew it, he was already as tall as her husband. Because of his martial arts practice, his posture was extra straight, and he was really an adult.
Thinking that he was carrying a heavy responsibility this time, Mrs. Zhaoguo was worried and couldn't help but say a few more words: "This time when you go out, you have to control your temper and don't just kill them. The strength of the Zhenbei Army is
You are not weak, and you only have three thousand soldiers and horses. Even if there is any conflict, you can wait until your father comes back."
"I know. As long as they don't go too far, I will pretend to be a grandson." Yan Ling added in her heart, if they go too far, then they are seeking death themselves.
Duke Zhaoguo's wife didn't know what he was thinking, so she nodded with a smile: "That's right. A man is capable of bending and stretching. Sooner or later he will have revenge, so don't rush now."
"Yeah." Yan Ling agreed perfunctorily.
Mrs. Zhaoguo turned around and saw him sitting at the desk, spreading paper and polishing ink, so she asked, "What do you want to write?"
"Write a letter." Yan Ling said, dipping the pen in ink and trying it twice.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong thought for a while and understood: "Written to Miss Xu San?"
Yan Ling smiled sheepishly and whispered: "I'm going out this time. I don't know when I'll be back. Let me tell her first."
Mrs. Zhao Guogong smiled when she heard this: "We have all written letters to each other! It seems that we have gained a lot from this trip!"
When this question was brought up, Yan Ling's face dropped: "Mom, please don't bury me. The marriage between Xu and Li's family has been decided, and I don't know what to do."
"Didn't your father already promise you?" Mrs. Zhao Guoguo disagreed, "With our family's family status, can the Xu family refuse?"
"That's not what you say," Yan Ling argued. "Getting married is a good thing for two families. How can you use power to suppress others? Governor Xu loves his daughter very much. I don't want him to feel like he is being coerced."
Mrs. Zhao Guoguo was impressed. He was so considerate. Was he still her son who had been willful and misbehaving since childhood?
"I didn't expect you to know how to be considerate. It's different when you have a girl you like."
Yan Ling was even more embarrassed and simply said, "Mom, please go out first. Others are watching, so I can't write."
Mrs. Zhao Guogong laughed and complied with his wishes: "Okay, you can write slowly!"
…
A few days later, this letter arrived in Xu Yin's hands.
Yan Ling briefly explained the situation, told her that he was going to garrison in the north, and told her to rest assured that he would come back safely.
Xu Yin only remembered this when she received the letter. At this time in her previous life, her father had passed away and there were many conflicts in the governor's house. She had no intention of paying attention to anything else.
However, she knew the outcome of this matter. After this battle, the name of Young Master Yan will be unknown to everyone. It was also from this incident that his limelight gradually eclipsed that of his brother, thus laying the foundation for disaster.
Thinking of the subsequent development, Xu Yin hesitated for a moment whether to find a way to intervene.
So she tried to reply a letter, but it was Yanji who replied to her.
Yan Ling had already left, and her letter could not be delivered for the time being. Yan Ji was afraid that she would worry, so he replied first.
Yan Ji knew exactly how his young master treated Miss Xu San, so he mentioned everything about Xu Yin in his letter.
However, Xu Yin did not get the results he wanted.
Judging from what Yan Ji said in the letter, they had a deep relationship as brothers and there was no sign of any antagonism at all. Even if she wanted to get involved, there was nowhere to do it.
After struggling for a long time, Xu Yin finally let the matter go. People are brothers and sisters, so she can't just say that you two will fall out in the future, right? It won't solve the problem, and it's also annoying.
Maybe, things are not as bad as she thought, and the opportunity for their brothers to fall out has not yet appeared, so they can wait a little longer.
There have been a lot of happy events in the Nanyuan Governor's Office recently. Xu Huan's body is recovering day by day and the remaining poison has been completely removed. Xu Si and Li Wen exchanged letters and seemed to be having a very interesting conversation, with smiles on their faces every day. Xu Ze's trip to Dongjiang
, performed very well, Wen Yiwen Changshi, who was transferred from Yongcheng, liked him very much and took him with him to teach practical work.
After Xu Yin's father and sister's persuasion, Xu Yin gradually regained his former happiness. He was either hunting or playing every day, as if he had become the little bully again.
Xu Si was curious and asked her: "Aren't you worried about Mr. Yan at all? The situation in Guanzhong doesn't seem to be very good!"
"Don't worry! He will be fine." Xu Yin answered her sister while reading the letter.
The letter was written by Yan Ji and told about the current situation of the Duke of Zhao. It was exactly as she remembered. Although the war was stalemate, there was no big crisis.
Xu Yin's previous life was only learned later. In order to expand the territory, the emperor at that time took the Duke of Zhao's palace as a favor and cut off a piece of flesh from the Yan family to appease him.
The foreigner, Lao Zhaoguo, fell ill because of this, and later his old injuries recurred and he passed away.
In this way, without any sympathy, the emperor listened to the traitor's slander and issued an order. Duke Lao Zhao had been loyal to the country all his life, but after his death not only did he not receive a posthumous title, he was also humiliated.
After this incident, the vitality of the Duke of Zhao was severely damaged and was suppressed by the Zhenbei Army for more than ten years. It was not until the current Duke of Zhao grew up and worked hard that the Yan family's reputation was gradually restored.
Xu Yin thought that Duke Zhao's ambition to become a successful man was probably suppressed when he was young. The angry old Duke Zhao was his grandfather, and he had personally experienced that dark time.
She is a rebellious person herself, and she doesn't think the Yan family should be loyal to the end. The fall of a dynasty is not a matter of one person, nor a family. Things in the world come and go, and the emperor does not care about the people's hearts, but the people's hearts will eventually
will disperse.
As soon as this battle started, the Chinese New Year arrived in a blink of an eye.
When the winter snow fell, Xu Yin heard the expected news.
When Duke Zhao went on an expedition, Balsi, the governor of Zhenbei, rebelled and took a small road to approach the capital.
The emperor was spending the winter with his capital, bathing in a hot spring pool with his beloved concubine.
The Imperial Guards did not expect this at all and were unable to defend themselves in time, leaving them in danger.
Yan Ling led three thousand soldiers and horses to attack all the way and beheaded Balsi.
The second young master of Yan became famous in one fell swoop.
