Li Xu did not dodge, and saw Master Yu Er's sword coming in front of him.
Second Master Yu was startled and stood up to stop him, but it was obviously too late.
The tip of the sword stopped on Li Xu's chest. Master Yu Er's face turned purple. This Li Xu was not afraid from the beginning to the end, and he refused to be held hostage by them. If he had such a descendant in his family, he would feel honored.
, but he just did this to the third girl.
Second Master Yu stepped forward and snatched the long sword from Master Yu's hand: "Uncle, calm down."
Master Yu Er snorted and sat down again.
Second Master Yu looked at Li Xu: "My third sister was hurt like this because of the Li family. Is it too unkind for Brother Li to speak like this? No matter how you say it, the third sister also saved Mrs. Li, which can be regarded as a sign of gratitude to Li."
If we have a good family, it's hard for you to watch her hide in the nunnery for the rest of your life."
"There is no need to tell him anymore," Master Yu Er said, "If he is so unkind and unrighteous, your third sister will suffer even if she marries him. It would be better not to leave the court for the rest of her life. If we, the Yu family, have everything to eat, we won't treat her badly."
Second Master Yu was very anxious and looked at Li Xu: "Brother Li, please say something."
Li Xu bowed again: "Now that the elders in the family have been taken away by the court, Mr. Yu wants a guarantee from me, but I'm afraid I can't obey. The marriage is the order of the parents and the matchmaker. It is against etiquette for me to agree privately."
When Mr. Yu heard this, his heart lit up: "I just said that Brother Li is not that kind of person. Uncle, you have misunderstood Brother Li. With the current situation of the Li family, Brother Li is also in a difficult situation."
Mr. Yu Er looked at Li Xu, and the anger on his face lessened a little: "I just saw that the guardhouse was in a mess. Did you find a traitor to the party?"
Li Xu said: "Exactly, we were ordered by the imperial court to come to investigate. Several households took the opportunity to leave, and I asked someone to stop them..."
Mr. Yu Er frowned and said, "Have you caught someone?"
Li Xu nodded: "We captured three hundred households, but the remaining people injured countless people with sharp weapons. We had no choice but to kill them."
Mr. Yu Er listened carefully. Li Xu went straight here to arrest people. I am afraid that the Ministry of Punishment had already received the news beforehand. Now this result can be regarded as some credit.
"With King Jian's rebellion and the turmoil of the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court will naturally be concerned about the situation in the important border towns," Mr. Yu Er said and looked at Li Xu, "But Nuerqian has always been peaceful. Have you heard any rumors?"
Li Xu said: "I just received some news and haven't confirmed it yet. Nu'ergan is a vast area with many people. If something happens, I'm afraid it won't be controllable. What's more, unlike other passes, most of Nuergan's employees are local officials, and the imperial court
It’s impossible to control the news over there in a timely manner.”
When Mr. Yu Er heard this, his heart moved slightly. The ancestors of the Yu family had been guarding several passes in northern Xinjiang since the beginning. It sounded very beautiful on the surface, but in fact those places were dangerous and barren. Generations of people had been wasted there. Think about it.
He couldn't bear to think about it, so he walked around.
Guangningwei is a good place, but it's a pity that there is a Ma family there.
The imperial court asked Li Xu to investigate the case, and it was clear that they did not trust Governor Ma. If something really happened, the Ma family would no longer be reused, and the Yu family might have a chance.
"Slave, I know some people," Mr. Yu Er looked at Li Xu, "What do you want to know about? I can go and ask for you."
The atmosphere in the room calmed down, and Mr. Yu immediately stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Li, sit down first, and let's talk slowly. Northern Territory is a vast territory with many people. You and I are not outsiders. We, the Yu family, also hope that the Li family can
If you need anything to get through the current difficulties, we will definitely help."
When everything is over, their two families can get married. If the Li family can't get away and the two families don't get married, the Yu family can escape intact. Mr. Yu Er nodded to Li Xu.
…
After taking Mr. Liao's medicine, Xu Qinghuan felt sleepy and fell asleep before Song Chengxuan returned to the house.
In the hazy state, she felt a tightness in her chest, and her heart suddenly jumped. This kind of pain felt familiar and unfamiliar to her. It was the same as when she was terminally ill in her previous life.
Xu Qinghuan panted desperately, and soon his body was wet with cold sweat.
"Madam, how are you?" The people around me shouted in a crying tone, "I'll go find Doctor Liao!"
She immediately waved her hand to stop it, and after a while she said: "No need... the miracle doctor just left... he has done his best."
"You should listen to the young master and not come to Northern Xinjiang."
Lu Ying gently patted her back, then took some medicinal powder, poured it on the towel, and applied it to her mouth and nose.
After she went to Nuerqian, Dr. Liao searched for famous local doctors to study her condition and came up with this idea. Although these medicinal powders can relieve her pain, they cannot be used until the critical moment because these medicines are toxic and may not be used too much.
It would be harmful to her body.
After struggling for a long time, Xu Qinghuan leaned on the pillow and his breathing gradually calmed down.
Lu Ying hurriedly packed up, then brought hot water over and looked at Xu Qinghuan with a worried look.
Xu Qinghuan's voice was hoarse: "It's much better now. Has Master Zhang sent any news?"
Lu Ying shook her head: "No, but Vice General Zhai has been here to reassure you, Madam. He is guarding here and will not let others disturb Madam."
As soon as Lu Ying finished speaking, the mother in charge from outside came in and said, "Vice General Zhai is here. I asked my wife if she has rested."
Lu Ying wanted to persuade Xu Qinghuan to rest, but Xu Qinghuan said: "Put up the screen. I'll see Deputy General Zhai here."
After a while, Deputy General Zhai was invited into the room.
"Madam," Deputy General Zhai said, "Someone from the Yu family has come, saying they are here to inspect the situation at each guard station. They have brought many General Qian and deputy generals to talk. It seems that the Li family can't wait to take over Nu'ergan."
Xu Qinghuan pursed his lips, but before he spoke, Vice General Zhai said: "The Li family is really hateful. After attacking the wife, they pretended to be filial and filial, and did everything they could to achieve their goals. The most hateful thing is that they still behaved in front of the court.
Pretending, there is nothing to worry about in Northern Xinjiang.
The Yu family told the outside world that Miss Yu San would become Li Xu's step-mother. If anyone dared to disobey their wishes, it would be tantamount to despising the Li family, and it was really a conspiracy.
Miss Yu San is leading people around to prepare food and grass under your guise. If a wealthy family refuses to give out money, she will inspect that family in your name.
He also said that my wife suffered a lot of injustice for Northern Xinjiang and now died tragically. Everyone should avenge my wife..."
Lieutenant General Zhai gritted his teeth and said, "I wish I could kill that woman Yu San immediately."
Xu Qinghuan listened quietly, with a slight turmoil in her heart, but she soon suppressed her emotions. She returned to Nuerqian not to feel sad in secret, but to fight them for the last time. There is no use in being sentimental here.
.
Xu Qinghuan said: "As long as the leaders of the tribes are protected, Li Xu will not be able to take away Nuergan. He is afraid that the Li family and the Yu family will not be able to shake Nuergan for a while, and they will be so angry that they kill the leaders. Vice General Zhai asked the leaders of the tribes to
careful."
Vice General Zhai nodded.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "When the time is right, bring the leaders of the various clans to see me. After seeing me, they will understand the Li family's conspiracy, and everything will be defeated."
