Yun Liudao: "I thought there was nothing important to do, so I didn't call the general."
The main reason was that the general's snoring was so loud that it could be heard from two camps apart. Seeing that the general was sleeping so soundly, it was even more difficult for him to disturb him.
Nothing important?
Duke Zhen Guo took a look at Yun Liu.
Although the matter in Linyuan City is indeed not a big problem, Yunliu has reached such an extent now?
"It is not a good thing to be careless." Zhen Guogong asked with a solemn face: "Is there any news in Linyuan City? Are the troops ready?"
Yun Liu smiled when he heard this: "The general doesn't know something. The girl and Wu Shisun entered the city last night."
What?
The Duke of Zhen Guo was startled when he heard this and asked quickly: "Night attack?"
Yun Liu shook his head: "It was the owner of Yuan's firm who hijacked Magistrate Fan and forced the city gate open..."
Yunliu briefly explained what happened.
Duke Zhen Guo came to his senses and said, "Is it the fireworks? I didn't even hear a single movement."
Yun Liu smiled and said, "You slept very deeply last night."
That snoring sound is no less loud than the sound of fireworks.
Of course, the general marches all year round, and even if he sleeps deeply, he never loses his alertness. This is a habit developed through years of martial arts training and has long become instinctive - and the reason why there was an exception last night was because the general
The medicine she took was added with something to help her sleep, and the fragrant pills burned in the tent also had a sleep-inducing effect.
Speaking of this, Yun Liu couldn't help but think of the situation when the eldest master brought the medicine bowl and explained its sleeping effect, and the general scolded him angrily - Marching outside is not a child's play, you want me to sleep to death
No!
The elder was stunned for a moment by the scolding, and then explained - this medicine was prepared by Zhaozhao. It is said that it can help you sleep well and worry less, so that the injury can heal faster.
As soon as these words were spoken, he witnessed the general's revolt from the side like a page from a book.
The general showed a look of astonishment - oh, that's it, he still has a clear intention.
Immediately, he glared at the elder again - If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier and give me the medicine?
Fortunately, the eldest man was already accustomed to this, so he didn't doubt whether he was his biological child. He just smiled and held the medicine in front of the general, watching the general slurp it several times and became bored.
"I had a really good sleep this time!" Duke Zhen Guo felt relaxed both physically and mentally at this moment.
Not only did he recover well from his injuries, but as soon as he woke up, he had obtained Linyuan City!
If I sleep like this for a few more days, maybe I can win the capital!
There is nothing he can do, who told him to have such a promising granddaughter!
He had just heard from Yun Liu that Zhao Zhao was in charge of everything in the city last night, and there was also the boy from the Wu family - but the boy from the Wu family was favored by Zhao Zhao, and the credit went to Zhao Zhao's name.
"The situation in the city has been decided. Half an hour ago, Wu Shisun had sent people to take the old man of the Wu family, the Queen Mother and others into the city to settle down. The young master also went to look for the girl." Yun Liu was about to ask his general if he wanted to go there.
, just then I heard footsteps coming from outside the tent.
"Is father awake?" a voice asked the soldier guarding the tent.
"Come in!" Before the soldier could reply, the Duke of Zhenguo responded and stood up from the couch.
Brothers Xu Jin and Xu Yun walked in together.
"Father."
After the two saluted, they first asked if the old man's injury had improved, and then prepared to have breakfast delivered to the tent.
"No need." The old man put on his robe and said in a good mood, "Let's go and see the city!"
The two brothers responded and came down.
The old man was in a good mood. He wanted to ride into the city with dignity, but the two of them stopped him. In the end, Xu Yun moved his niece out and finally persuaded the old man to get into the carriage.
The father and son entered the city, and the old man chose a breakfast shop to fill their stomachs.
The old man was in a good mood and had a good appetite. He drank two large bowls of sweet potato and dried multigrain porridge, along with a pound of vegetable cakes and several plates of side dishes.
Xu Yun almost didn't take a bite.
On the one hand, he was a little impatient. He originally wanted to follow Wu... well, his nephew into the city, but the old man was injured and hadn't woken up yet, so he couldn't leave him alone.
Now that he finally entered the city, the old man chose to eat outside again.
Secondly, he had already eaten breakfast in the camp, so it was normal for him not to be hungry at this time.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't help frowning and looking at his brother who was still talking - the eldest brother clearly shared the breakfast with him, so why did he start eating again?
And the elder brother is not as fast as his father in eating everything. He is very particular about food. Judging from the way he chews slowly and carefully, he thinks he is eating some delicacy from the mountains and seas... It's just a piece of leek cake. As for
What!
After finally waiting for his father and brother to finish eating, the old man walked around the city again.
After seeing the scene in the city, the Duke of Zhen became more and more satisfied.
In addition to fighting abroad for many years, he visits Linyuan City every year. He knows very well what the city originally looked like.
Nowadays, the city is generally considered stable and there is no chaos. In addition to the relationship between Linyuan and the Xu family army, Zhaozhao and the Wu family boys must also have contributed to this.
The children are all up and can now take charge of themselves.
While the Duke of Zhen was feeling relieved, he increasingly felt that the two sons around him were useless, especially the second oldest——
Sensing the disdain from their father, the two brothers remained silent.
Although I don't know where my father was offended again, there is nothing to explore.
Anyway——
He scolds his son when everything goes wrong.
He scolded his son for not making up his mind when something happened.
You can scold your son for everything.
The two brothers took this very seriously. After all, their father would take it upon themselves to deal with trouble, while Mi Chong and the others would take it upon themselves. Being scolded a few times was a sign of the little value they had left.
The Xu family and the Queen Mother and their entourage all settled down in the ancestral residence of the Yuan family.
After Xu Jiajun came to Linyuan territory, Yuan Dezhi ordered people to clean up the mansion.
This Sanjin Mansion was the residence of the late Yuan Taiyuan during his lifetime. After the Yuan Taiyuan passed away, the deed of the house was handed over to Xu Mingyi.
Over the years, the house has been empty, but the Yuan clan members have taken good care of it. This time they tidied it up inside and out, and added some daily necessities.
Early this morning, Yuan Dezhi personally brought a group of maids, women, and servants here, but Xu Mingyi only left less than twenty people in the end. At this juncture, everything should be kept simple. If it is too complicated, it will be easy to get angry.
There are those who want to fish in troubled waters. Although these servants have been carefully selected by the Yuan family, it is still best to be cautious when the situation is first decided.
They didn't have many people to take care of. The Lin Yuan matter was settled. Mr. Wu and the others would be returning to Ningyang soon. They only needed to keep enough manpower to maintain their daily life.
The Duke of Zhen Guo wandered around the city for half a day. After arriving here, he still could not see his granddaughter.
Also missing was Wu Chao.
I heard from Qin Wu that the two of them were still arranging things in the city, and Xu Mingshi also followed.
At this time, the Duke of Zhen was sitting in the hall, listening to Qin Wuzhen talking about what happened after entering the city.
An hour ago, Xu Jin was called to the government office by his daughter, while Xu Yun stayed with the old man.
After listening to Qin Wu's summary, the Duke of Zhen took a sip of tea and looked at his second son sitting there. He felt that it was extremely annoying - what are you doing sitting here? If you have this time, you can't think about how to marry your daughter-in-law as soon as possible.
Home?
The food has been brought to your mouth, but you still don’t know how to eat it!
If you don't do anything all day long, is it possible that you are still waiting for your wife to fall from the world on her own?
Noticing his father's eyes and thinking of his father's urging words last night, Xu Yun felt helpless.
Isn't he in a hurry...Well, of course he is not in a hurry!
The person who should be anxious is Wu Jingying——
She said she had something to say to him, but she hadn't come to him yet. She had something to say that she had kept in her heart but didn't say it. He didn't believe that she didn't feel uncomfortable!
But it can't be said that he was deliberately hanging on him...
She fell ill on the way to Liyuan.
I heard that she had contracted the wind and cold, which seemed to be a bit severe. She had been lying in the tent all day without seeing anyone. When she got on the carriage heading into the city today, he happened to pass by and glanced at her inadvertently... That look on her face was indeed very...
It's weakness.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun couldn't sit still anymore.
He just wanted to take a look at her, but now that she was living in the inner courtyard, it was really inconvenient...
At this time, the dissatisfied old man was no longer satisfied with the reminder with his eyes, and simply said: "You should also learn from your elder brother. I think back in Linyuan, Zhaozhao's mother was chasing after your elder brother!"
After they got married, they gave him another son, Zhaozhao. Based on this alone, he was generally satisfied with his eldest son. After all, he could be regarded as the hero of the family!
Xu Yun had mixed emotions after hearing this, and felt that he was being embarrassed.
Can he learn this kind of thing?
The old man probably felt that it was unrealistic, so he added: "I don't think you have such a future, but my wife is here, you can give me some words! You are like a bastard sitting here all day long.
!”
"...?" King Dingnan, who was sitting next to him, frowned.
Has your wife been brought to you?
——As if he is not here?
How can he coax his daughter when he can't tell that this is a conspiracy?
After so many years, the Xu family still has their evil intentions?
"..." Xu Yun glanced at the old man of the Wu family, feeling very uneasy.
He could tell that his father deliberately mentioned this matter in front of Mr. Wu, probably because he wanted to pave the way for him...
But I always feel that if my father continues to say this, I am afraid that his road will not be paved, but will be broken...
Adhering to the idea of "as long as I am not present, I don't have to bear the consequences", Xu Yun did not dare to stay any longer, and quickly stood up and said: "Qinghu suddenly remembered that there is something to do... I won't disturb my father and the prince's discussion.
"
As usual, he gave his son a "go away" look, and the Duke took a sip of tea.
At his age, his granddaughter is about to get married, but he still lacks a cup of tea for his daughter-in-law but has been unable to drink it. Is it fair to say that?
"...You, the Xu family, are shameless, but I, the Wu family, want to be shameless. Let me hear what you just said!"
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I worked hard to bring him out, so you can't help but agree!"
"What, you still want to rob me?"
"..."
Faintly hearing a quarrel coming from the hall behind him, Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he was wise enough to run fast.
But thinking about what my father just said, I couldn't help but feel hesitant.
Xu Yun walked forward absent-mindedly until familiar voices and footsteps reached his ears from ahead.
Looking up, I saw my niece, nephew and Wu family boy coming with their close companions.
"Second uncle."
"Uncle Xu."
Several people stopped to salute.
Xu Yun nodded and asked casually: "Are you done with everything?"
Xu Mingshi held a booklet in his arms and replied: "Things in the city cannot be accomplished in a day. We have generally arranged them well, so there is no need to worry about the rest."
He entered the city early in the morning and ran behind Xu Mingyi and Wu Chao. The booklet was almost full. And when the booklet was full, it proved that he had gained a lot, and he felt at ease in his heart.
Seeing his nephew's eagerness to learn, Xu Yun was very pleased. After praising him a few times, he looked at his niece and said, "Zhaozhao, my second uncle has something to say to you alone. Are you free now?"
"
Xu Mingyi nodded without hesitation: "It's free."
Wu Chao then said: "Then I will go see my grandfather and the Duke first."
Xu Mingshi felt as if grass had grown in his heart - his intuition told him that the reason why his second uncle wanted to talk to Xu Mingyi alone was probably related to his recent behavior!
I really want to stay and eavesdrop...
But it’s not something a gentleman would do…
The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally followed Wu Chao and left obediently.
On the one hand, he wanted to be a gentleman, but on the other hand, he was afraid that Xu Mingyi would catch him out and be beaten if he eavesdropped.
"I wonder what the second uncle wants to say to me?"
Ah Zhu also retreated far away. Xu Mingyi and his second uncle came to a pavilion, sat down and asked.
"But you're tired?" Xu Yun asked rhetorically without answering, but expressed concern first.
Xu Mingyi smiled: "It's not bad."
She had just started to come into contact with these things, so she felt that everything was new, and with Wu Chao reminding her, she felt that it was both learning and experience. Although her legs and feet were a little tired, her mind was full of energy.
Xu Yun stood there with his hands folded, looking at his niece and said in a loving tone: "Zhaozhao has grown up to be the pillar of the family now... But you have to do business, and you have to pay attention to yourself. It's been cold recently, so remember to bring a cloak when you go out, but
Don’t catch the cold.”
"What exactly is the second uncle trying to say?" Xu Mingyi looked suspicious.
Meeting his niece's eyes, Xu Yun's eyes wandered for a moment, and he pretended to be casual and said: "I heard that many people have been infected with the cold recently. Isn't the second uncle worried about you?"
Xu Mingyi: "...You can just say Queen Mother?"
It's like no one can see it.
She doesn't understand. Why do people become more awkward as they get older?
If it were her -
No matter how many things there are, you must first bring the person to your side before talking about it. Whether it is grievances or misunderstandings, just slowly resolve them.
The niece was too direct. Xu Yun coughed for a while, as if he had caught the cold in his mouth, but he didn't say anything to deny it.
Xu Mingyi did not embarrass him and continued on his own: "I'm afraid my second uncle doesn't know that the Queen's illness is not just as simple as catching wind and cold."
Xu Yun's face changed slightly and he didn't bother to cough: "What does this mean? Are there other symptoms?"
"I have checked your mother's pulse before and prescribed treatment. Your mother's health has never been good. She has accumulated many old illnesses due to excessive worries that cannot be resolved."
Not to mention the damage done to the body by those overly strong anti-pregnancy drugs that I had taken previously.
Thinking of this, Xu Mingyi looked at his second uncle and said, "My wife has had a hard time in the palace these years."
"..." Xu Yun pursed his lips slightly, and gradually tightened his fingers behind his back.
