421-430

Chapter 421 It's a disaster after all.

Lin Xuezhu burst into tears, leaving Yuan Xiu at a loss.

Just when Yuan Xiu's mentality was about to collapse, Lin Xuezhu stopped crying.

She wiped her tears and said with determination but in a tearful tone: "Husband, time is running out, let's work quickly."

After saying that, she got on her horse and rode away alone.

Yuan Xiu was confused. It wasn't until Lin Xuezhu ran away that he realized that the direction she left was not an explosives workshop.

Where has the lady gone?

Yuan Xiu got on his horse and chased after him.

Lin Xuezhu rode extremely fast. Normally, she would not be so fast.

Yuan Xiu looked at her Yi Qi Juechen's back and felt a little anxious, but he didn't dare to call her for fear that she would be distracted and fall.

Lin Xuezhu first went to the Liuli Workshop.

Someone who had seen her coming had gone to report Jing Lan.

Jing Lan came out to greet her and was shocked to see her covered in dust.

"Ms. Lin..."

"Pack your things immediately, go to the government office to complete the formalities, and go to the capital for a business trip." Lin Xuezhu said.

It had been more than half a year since her last business trip, and she had planned to whet the appetites of the powerful people in the capital.

Now it seems that she is being polite.

They should be harvested harshly!

Who allows them to eat well and live a rich life all day long, but when the country is in trouble, they can't exert any effort!

She didn't believe that the whole country would not be able to choose anyone who could replace Yuan Xiu.

It's just that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they shrink back when charging into battle.

They thought that by pacifying the northern border, the world would be at peace and they could become their wealthy and idle people.

hehe.

Jing Lan was shocked by Lin Xuezhu's momentum.

Looking behind her again, Yuan Xiu also got off his horse.

Jing Lan was even more shocked.

What happened that brought Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Lin together?

Lin Xuezhu ignored Jing Lan's surprised look and continued: "On this business trip, you bring me a lot of goods, as well as sugar, and sell them with you. Do your best and sell them at a high price!"

"Got it." Jing Lan nodded repeatedly.

Lin Xuezhu suddenly stopped and said, "Send someone to inform the Tata tribe and bring more people. This will do a big job."

"Okay." Jing Lan had calmed down at this time.

Lin Xuezhu turned around and saw Yuan Xiu following her with a worried face.

She asked in surprise: "Husband?"

Yuan Xiu was a little embarrassed.

He followed his wife out of fear that something might happen to her, but she looked confused. What was going on?

Could it be that she didn't even know he was following?

"Let's go to the sugar workshop." Lin Xuezhu didn't wait for Yuan Xiu to finish his embarrassment before he walked decisively toward his horse.

"Here comes someone, prepare a car." Jing Lan knew that she should follow.

However, she was completely unprepared.

However, Mrs. Lin said that strong people never complain about the environment.

Even if she is not prepared, when she is needed to follow, she has to follow.

When Jing Lan's car was ready, Lin Xuezhu was already on horseback and disappeared.

Unlike the hot and chaotic scene in the glaze workshop, the atmosphere in the sugar workshop is much better.

There is a sweet smell floating in the air, which makes people feel happy just by smelling it.

Inspired and instructed by Lin Xuezhu, the craftsmen are working on developing various candies.

They boil water with brightly colored food, add it to sugar, and make syrup.

Then use syrup to make colorful candies.

Not to mention, just looking at it makes people full of appetite.

Lin Xuezhu only took a quick look around and explained to the two stewards his idea of ​​going to Beijing to do business.

The two stewards did not dare to be careless, so they immediately brought the account books and counted the inventory.

Halfway through the inventory count, Jing Lan ran in panting.

She tried her best, but the carriage was not as fast as the horse, but it reached the limit speed, and she felt a little motion sick...

Everyone finished counting the inventory.

Lin Xuezhu asked Jing Lan to bring all the processed candies to the capital.

Compared with the rare and crudely made candies of this era, the candies produced in the north are very advantageous in terms of appearance and taste.

After discussing the matter of doing business, Lin Xuezhu got on his horse and prepared to go back to the explosives workshop.

Jing Lan took the two stewards of the sugar workshop and immediately started making preparations.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, but she has to do what Mrs. Lin arranges despite all the difficulties and dangers!

"Madam, ride slower." Yuan Xiu, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but shouted to Lin Xuezhu.

"It's too late." Lin Xuezhu didn't even look back, and even whipped the horse's butt again.

Yuan Xiu had no choice but to loosen the reins and leap onto Lin Xuezhu's horse.

They all ride war horses and can withstand the tossing on their horses well during the journey.

Yuan Xiu pulled the reins from Lin Xuezhu's hand and slowly slowed the horse down.

"Madam, please don't do this." He almost begged in Lin Xuezhu's ear.

He had never seen Lin Xuezhu so nervous and uneasy when facing things.

He knew she was worried, and he felt very uncomfortable.

It was as if he was the one who caused all this.

Lin Xuezhu's tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn't stop. Once she stopped, she wouldn't be able to control her emotions.

She had to be busy, spinning like a top to stop herself from thinking.

"Husband, can I go to the battlefield with you?"

Lin Xuezhu turned her head and looked at Yuan Xiu with red eyes.

Yuan Xiu looked back at her, his eyes full of reluctance and desolation.

"The sword has no eyes, Madam, it's better not to go."

He knew that she would live well in the north, but on the battlefield, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of her.

"I am a mobile granary, and I am also a mobile weapons depot. Take me with you, and you won't have to worry about anything." Lin Xuezhu pleaded, trying to convince him.

Yuan Xiu's heart was clenched tightly.

The moment he came back from the battlefield and got along with her was on the eve of his exile.

Facing the exile, she did not shed a single tear and remained relaxed and calm throughout the process.

But now, she cried twice because of the fact that he was going to the battlefield again.

Yuan Xiu couldn't help but hugged Lin Xuezhu, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said: "Madam, don't worry, I will be unscathed in the battle in the north, even the pirates can't do anything to me. Madam, you only need to take care of yourself, Just wait for the news of my triumphant return."

Lin Xuezhu took a deep breath and said, "This time is different. I am good at land combat. Even when facing the powerful prairie cavalry, I can find a way to deal with them. But pirates, they are familiar with sea combat, but our soldiers are not good at it. More Needless to say, our ships and equipment may not be able to keep up with theirs."

Yuan Xiu also thought of this.

Fighting pirates is different from fighting barbarian tribes.

If the barbarian tribe withdraws its troops, he can pursue them and kill them all the way to their hometown.

But if the pirate wanted to run away, he couldn't catch up.

Even if there are enough ships, the casualties will only increase if the soldiers under their command are unfamiliar with water warfare.

If we don't catch all the pirates, it will be a disaster after all.

Chapter 422 Asking her aunt to persuade her uncle to go to the Southern Territory to defeat the thieves.

Seeing Yuan Xiu's silence, Lin Xuezhu felt even more unsure.

Yuan Xiu is the God of War, if even he doesn't know how to deal with it.

This battle is destined to be extremely dangerous.

Although, according to what is written in the book, Yuan Xiu finally returned victorious.

However, since her appearance can change the direction of some plots in the book, will An Zhi not change the outcome of the battle?

What if she caused the butterfly effect?

What if Yuan Xiu loses?

What if...

Lin Xuezhu didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The two of them sat on horseback, one behind the other, in silence.

After a long while, Yuan Xiu said: "Half a month ago, I received news that my imperial brother fell ill while traveling in the north and was bedridden."

"What disease did he contract?" Lin Xuezhu asked subconsciously.

"It's just the change of seasons and the occasional cold wind." Yuan Xiu replied lightly.

Originally, he didn't plan to talk about it. After all, King Qi had stayed in the north for so long and never came to spend even an hour with him. Why did he care about this brother?

However, at this moment, he wanted to say something to divert Lin Xuezhu's attention.

Sure enough, Lin Xuezhu asked: "Is King Qi well now?"

"Not yet." Yuan Xiu replied: "I don't know why, but the little cold can't be cured for a long time."

"Have you asked anyone to inquire about it?" Lin Xuezhu asked again.

Yuan Xiu nodded, "I have inquired about it, and it is true that he is bedridden. Kyoto has never left the room when eating."

Good guy, this is the legendary eating under the quilt, pulling under the quilt, and farting and popping popcorn under the quilt.

Lin Xuezhu wondered, "How could a small cold be so serious?"

She and her family had been drinking spiritual spring water, and their bodies were strong. Even Lin Jiayuan's physical condition had improved.

Therefore, she has basically never experienced a minor illness that can kill half of a person's life.

Although, this was not really a big deal in ancient times when medical standards were lacking.

A flu or athlete's foot can be fatal.

Lin Xuezhu immediately thought, what if this King Qi died in the north?

Although he is a prince with a low sense of presence, if there is really something wrong with him, the Dog Emperor can also punish Kong Bo for not taking good care of him.

All in all, on the cusp of this crisis, she did not want to cause trouble.

I don't want anything to affect Yuan Xiu and her plan.

"Husband, it's best to send someone to keep an eye on King Qi's illness," Lin Xuezhu reminded.

Yuan Xiu nodded calmly.

His brother Wang's illness may not be that simple.

However, he sent people to inquire many times and got the news that he was bedridden.

He can just wait and see what happens.

Three days passed in a flash.

Everyone in the explosives workshop was working hard.

Lin Xuezhu counted the days and output, hoping that the war in the southern region would be delayed for a while longer.

Just when she was nervous, someone came to report that Anbei City Government Office had an old friend who wanted to see her.

Old friend?

Lin Xuezhu didn't remember any old friends she had.

Those who dare to call themselves such will probably not end well in her hands.

She asked the soldier who sent the message, "Do you know who that person is?"

The soldier wondered: "The person who sent the message is not from the government office, and I don't know him. But since he dares to use the banner of the government office, he must not be a bad person. "

They may not be good people." Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu discussed it and finally decided to let the two soldiers go with her.

If something happens along the way, it's good to have someone to take care of you.

Lin Xuezhu quickly set off and headed all the way to the government office.

She wanted to see who this hidden person was.

As soon as I arrived at the government office, I saw Wang Shen.

Wang Shen was on his horse and looked like he was about to go out to do something.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu, he got off the horse.

He stopped Lin Xuezhu aside and said in a low voice: "Prince Wenyue is here. I heard that he wanted to see Mrs. Lin, so Mr. Huang asked me to report the news quickly. Unexpectedly, just as I was about to go, Mrs. Lin, you came."

Lin Xuezhu said this. Then I realized who this "old friend" was.

After thinking about it, we knew that Prince Wenyue had made a good calculation.

Before he even arrived at the Anbei City Government Office, he sent someone to deliver a message to her.

In this way, when Huang Hao found out that he was coming and asked someone to notify her temporarily, it would be too late.

Lin Xuezhu curled her lips and sneered.

Did this young man trick her out?

Let's see what tricks this kid is going to play.

Lin Xuezhu took long strides and walked towards the government office.

Wang Shen led the way and quickly brought her to the reception area.

In the living room, Crown Prince Wenyue sat at the top, and Huang Hao sat at the bottom to accompany him.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu arriving so quickly, Huang Hao was surprised for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart: I have never seen anyone behave as strangely as Prince Wenyue.

It was already out of character for a nephew to meet his aunt alone.

What's more, it's so secretive.

Aren't you afraid of ruining Lady Lin's reputation?

Huang Hao looked at Lin Xuezhu with his eyes, trying to find a solution with her.

Lin Xuezhu received his gaze and saluted Prince Wenyue calmly and distantly.

Prince Wen Yue smiled: "Aunt, stop being so outspoken. I am a junior, and it is my turn to salute aunt."

As soon as his smile appeared, Lin Xuezhu's not-so-good memories were brought back.

Because as time passed, the resentment against this boy that had slowly faded came back to my heart again.

Lin Xuezhu said: "It's really hard for the prince to go and come back."

There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Prince Wen Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he still wore the smiling masked face.

He said: "I heard that my father fell ill in the north. I was really worried, so I planned to come and take my father back to the fiefdom."

"Oh, then why do you want to see me alone?" Lin Xuezhu had no intention of playing riddles with him and asked straight to the point. .

Prince Wenyue had roughly grasped Lin Xuezhu's temperament after their last meeting.

Hearing this, not only was he not annoyed, but his smile deepened, "My nephew has something important to discuss with his aunt. I wonder if it's convenient?"

If it's convenient or inconvenient, everyone has been tricked, so how can he just turn around and leave?

Lin Xuezhu sneered and said, "If anything happens to you, Your Majesty, just tell me here."

With that said, she sat down at the next table, picked up an empty teacup, and poured herself a cup of tea.

She was waiting and asked Prince Wenyue to speak openly and honestly in front of Huang Hao and Wang Shen.

Don't do anything in a sneaky way.

Her attitude was very obvious, she really didn't like Crown Prince Wenyue's behavior.

After hearing this, Huang Hao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin can carry it clearly.

Prince Wenyue knew that he was not popular, but he didn't care.

In front of Huang Hao and Wang Shen, he bowed deeply to Lin Xuezhu and said, "Please ask aunt to persuade uncle to take charge and go to the southern region to fight against the bandits."

With a snap, Lin Xuezhu threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground.

The tea cup was smashed to pieces, and the porcelain pieces bounced off the ground, flew high, and fell to the ground again.

Although the idea in Chapter 423 was strange, the pattern did cause

the sound of the teacup breaking, which shocked Huang Hao and Wang Shen.

They had never seen Lin Xuezhu look so angry.

In my impression, the general's wife always looked at ease no matter what happened.

But now, facing Prince Wenyue, she really dared to throw the teacup.

"Auntie, calm down." Prince Wenyue was also frightened.

He didn't think Lin Xuezhu shouldn't throw the teacup, but he was amazed at how strong she was.

Lin Xuezhu sneered, "Prince Wenyue came out of nowhere and came to the north to worry about the country and the people. Since you understand the righteousness so well, why don't you take command and go to the battlefield? Is it possible that you are just waiting to enjoy the sacrifice of my husband's life? Are you fighting for the throne? As a royal family, don't you feel guilty and blush?"

After hearing these words, Huang Hao and Wang Shen felt relieved.

The Northern Territory was conquered by the general, the Northern Conquest Army, and the Border Army with all their lives.

As a result, the situation stabilized, and they were killed.

Not only did the soldiers not receive any rewards, but they were not allowed to go home and had to work hard at the border.

Not to mention how miserable the general's fate was.

Even white-eyed wolves have more conscience than those black-hearted people in the court!

It's good now, something happened again in the Southern Territory.

I searched and searched, but I still found them.

Together with the whole country, they are the only ones who deserve to die?

The general's wife scolded well, so she should scold those heartless ones!

Prince Wenyue waited for Lin Xuezhu to calm down a little before he looked unusually solemn.

"Aunt, I know you feel unfair, but the survival of the country is at stake. My nephew begs aunt to put the overall situation first."

"Why do you have that?" Lin Xuezhu asked rudely.

Crown Prince Wenyue was stunned and replied: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. At present, the court not only has no good generals, but also no one can command the Northern Army. If not, the emperor will not re-activate his uncle."

What Huang said was true. Neither Hao nor Wang Shen could stand listening any longer.

What do you mean? When no one was available, he took the idea to the general.

If someone is available, it won't be the general's turn?

Do you really think that defeating the thieves is a good thing and that it gives the general a great opportunity?

Unexpectedly, Prince Wenyue not only did not think that he had made a mistake, but continued: "God's will, why don't uncle seize this opportunity to wash away his guilt and return to the position of general?"

"What is my husband's guilt?" Lin Xuezhu walked forward. step.

That momentum scared Prince Wen Yue and took a step back unconsciously.

Lin Xuezhu's eyes seemed to be able to eat people, "You said that my husband is treason, is there any substantial evidence? If not, then it is an unfounded charge. Why does my husband need to be cleared? Besides, why does my husband want to return to the position of general? etc. Are you trying to trap him again?"

"Auntie, be careful!" Prince Wen Yue said anxiously, "How can the eggs be destroyed when the nest is overturned?"

"Tell me the truth?" Lin Xuezhu said disdainfully. I would like to ask, what is the reason for a general who has won a battle to be confiscated and exiled? Soldiers can die on the battlefield, but they must not die at the hands of the court they are loyal to.

This is our principle! He clenched his fist fiercely.

The general's wife said it very well.

They were never afraid of risking their lives on the battlefield, but when they turned around and were stabbed in the back by the person they risked their lives to protect, this was the most unacceptable thing for them!

What kind of king can do such a thing? He deserves to be left alone and helpless!

Prince Wenyue was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he said: "Auntie may think that I have ulterior motives for saying these words. But I just want to tell auntie that I am not looking forward to sitting back and enjoying wealth, but pushing my uncle to fight. If possible, I will I hope I can go to the battlefield with my uncle to protect my family and the country. As for other things, it is not what I want, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Lin Xuezhu's eyebrows jumped, but when he looked at Prince Wen Yue's face, he couldn't understand it.

She thought for a while and said to Huang Hao and Wang Shen: "Master Huang, Master Wang, can you two please step aside?"

Huang Hao and Wang Shen looked at each other and nodded.

The two exited the living room and closed the door.

Everyone in the courtyard was sent away and the courtyard gate was sealed.

Lin Xuezhu waited until there was absolutely no movement outside, then said to Prince Wenyue: "The prince wants to go to the battlefield, is it for righteousness or for selfish desires?"

She can understand the desire to get ahead, but in order to get ahead on the battlefield, this is too much. .

When Prince Wen Yue heard what Lin Xuezhu said, he was startled at first, and then a look of relief appeared on his face.

He said: "If you say there is no selfishness, I'm afraid I won't believe it. But if you say it's all selfishness, that's not necessarily the case. This country must be protected first, and then who will sit down."

Lin Xuezhu saw that he spoke so straightforwardly, I somewhat admire him for being a man.

If you tell her true ambitions, are you really not afraid that she will tell the truth to the Dog Emperor?

"Your Majesty, you should be careful with what you say, as these words will cause you to lose your head." Lin Xuezhu said calmly.

Even if Crown Prince Wenyue speaks out, she will not be stupid enough to reveal Yuan Xiu's plans.

Prince Wen Yue chuckled lightly and said, "Auntie, do you know why my father separated from his mother and concubine back then?"

Lin Xuezhu raised his eyebrows, this kid actually dared to mention Yuan Xiu's mother and concubine!

She did not reply, only asked coldly: "Why?"

Prince Wenyue said: "Back then, my uncle's mother-in-law was favored and she was able to raise my father. The emperor's uncle has always been worried that my father would become my uncle's help, and he treated them quite a lot. Because of fear, my father did such a cruel thing in order not to make the emperor's uncle suspicious. Now that he has done it, of course he has to do it to the end. It doesn't matter if he and his uncle live forever, as long as both parties can live

. for shock.

After a long time, King Qi, a white-eyed wolf, was transformed into a good adopted son and brother who was willing to sacrifice himself for others.

Is this scientific?

Is this reasonable?

She had reservations.

Prince Wenyue said: "Actually, my father is not ill. He just used this excuse to allow me to return to the north and meet my uncle and aunt."

Sure enough!

Lin Xuezhu almost rolled her eyes.

This idiot father and son have so many tricks up their sleeves!

Prince Wen Yue said: "Aunt, after uncle has come to this point, don't you want to see him turn over?"

Lin Xuezhu looked at Prince Wen Yue coldly and asked, "If he turns over, wouldn't you be afraid?"

Prince Wen Yue smiled bitterly, "Left and right. I'm afraid, it's better to risk my life. This country will fall into the hands of the foolish king. It's better to have a fight with my uncle. No matter who wins, it won't be too bad for the country."

Lin Xuezhu didn't expect that Prince Wenyue thought so.

Although the idea is strange, the pattern is indeed opened up.

He didn't shy away from it and wanted an upright competition, which was quite impressive.

Seeing that Lin Xuezhu was silent, Crown Prince Wen Yue added, "Now, my uncle and I are both short of an opportunity and help. It's better to unite first and defeat the pirates in the Southern Region, and then talk about other things."

Chapter 424: This portrait is really not beautiful

. Lin Xuezhu smacked the words of Prince Wenyue carefully.

After a while, he asked: "Since you have such a heart, why don't you tell your uncle?"

Prince Wenyue said: "Uncle loves my aunt. If my aunt can give advice, my uncle will definitely obey."

Lin Xuezhu sneered in her heart.

Prince Wenyue is quite a thief.

She said noncommittally: "No matter what you say, I will not send my husband to the battlefield. My husband's heart is in the north, and we live a good life here. How the war in the south is going to be is someone else's concern, and it has nothing to do with my husband. "

After that, she opened the door and walked out.

Most of what needs to be said has been said.

It would be boring to talk about it any further.

Huang Hao and Wang Shen, who were guarding outside the courtyard, heard the noise and opened the courtyard door.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu's serious face, Huang Hao said, "Ms. Lin, I will send someone to take you back."

"Okay." Lin Xuezhu did not refuse.

She didn't want Prince Wenyue to keep harassing her like a fly.

Just when she was about to leave the government office, Prince Wenyue chased her out.

He said: "Uncle will definitely accept the challenge, because his mother-in-law is from the Southern Territory. There is an ancestral hall of his mother's clan in the Southern Territory."

"Shut up!" Lin Xuezhu picked up a stone on the roadside and pointed it at Wen Yue The prince threw it over.

Prince Wenyue subconsciously avoided, but was still hit by the stone.

Blood oozed from his forehead instantly.

Huang Hao and Wang Shen were so frightened that they gasped.

"Come here, find the doctor." Huang Hao called out and winked at Wang Shen.

Send the general's wife away quickly, otherwise, someone will die today!

Wang Shen knew the stakes and stood quietly between Lin Xuezhu and Prince Wenyue.

"Ms. Lin, mount your horse." Wang Shen said in a low voice.

Lin Xuezhu glared at Prince Wenyue fiercely and got on his horse.

She raised her riding crop and spanked the horse's butt without mercy.

The horse feels pain, raises its hooves and rushes forward.

Lin Xuezhu was working hard all the way.

At first, there were still people nearby.

Gradually, she entered a remote area and the woods became denser.

Lin Xuezhu had no choice but to let the horse slow down.

Once they enter the dense forest, the horse cannot run away.

Lin Xuezhu was in front, and Wang Shen followed from a distance.

Then, Lin Xuezhu discovered that there was a figure not far ahead, reining in his horse and standing quietly.

The man had a gentle smile on his face and just watched her approach quietly.

"Madam, you are back." Yuan Xiu said.

Seeing Yuan Xiu's handsome face, Lin Xuezhu's anger immediately dissipated.

She also showed a smile and said, "Husband, are you coming to pick me up?"

Yuan Xiu took Lin Xuezhu's reins and nodded to Wang Shen who was following behind.

Wang understood deeply and turned around to leave.

Yuan Xiu led Lin Xuezhu's horse and walked through the forest.

Neither of them spoke at first.

After a while, Lin Xuezhu said, "Husband, don't you ask me who I went to see?"

Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "He is not a lovable person after all."

Lin Xuezhu took it for granted.

Crown Prince Wenyue is indeed not lovable, although the cases he handles are barely watchable.

Lin Xuezhu was silent for a long time, then hesitantly said, "Husband, the ancestral hall of the concubine's family is in the Southern Territory, right?"

Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

My mother was sent to the palace as a selected beauty from the Southern Region.

She has a lively personality, is innocent and kind, and quickly wins the favor of her father.

Her father gave her everything she could have as a beloved concubine, and even more.

However, she still misses her hometown from time to time.

I miss those days and nights running freely on the beach.

Yuan Xiu has never been to the Southern Region.

The first time he left the capital, he rushed to the battlefield in the north.

He had never seen the sea breeze or seen the rocks.

Never floated in salty water.

But he always felt that the Southern Territory was no stranger to him.

Maybe he had dreamed about it.

Later, my mother passed away.

Before he died, he couldn't go back to the hometown that he always dreamed of.

Yuan Xiu always thought that if he had the chance, he must go to the Southern Territory to see it.

Look at what the land that my mother loves so much looks like.

Therefore, when he learned that there was a war in the southern region, he had the consciousness to rush to the battlefield.

He did not allow anyone to trample on the homeland in his mother's heart.

However, this cannot be done out of passion or confusion.

The emperor's brother was unkind to him, and he would not sacrifice his life for the emperor's brother without asking for anything in return.

Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and said to Lin Xuezhu: "Madam, have you ever been to the beach before?"

Hearing his question, Lin Xuezhu certainly knew that the "before" referred to her previous life.

She nodded and said, "Been there before."

Not only that, the seaside was her favorite vacation spot.

I lay down on the beach with nothing to do, listening to the sound of the waves, and I really had no worries at all.

Yuan Xiu said, "Can you tell me, madam, what the seaside is like?"

The horse moved forward slowly, and occasionally the light and shadow cast from the branches and leaves of the trees fell on Yuan Xiu's face.

Lin Xuezhu looked at all this and just wished that time would stop.

She relaxed and said softly: "The sea is just like the sky, boundless. It will show different colors according to the different minerals in the sea. It may be blue, it may be green, and when it is cloudy, it may be gray. ."

A smile appeared on Yuan Xiu's lips.

This is somewhat different from what his mother said.

Lin Xuezhu continued: "I like the sea, but sometimes I feel scared."

"Why?" Yuan Xiu asked puzzledly.

Isn't the sea the most beautiful thing in the world?

Lin Xuezhu said: "Because the sea can swallow everything, but the sky cannot. The sky can tolerate everything."

Yuan Xiu was stunned.

My mother never said that the sea was dangerous and would swallow everything.

Why did the lady say that?

Lin Xuezhu thought of the pirates in the southern region, turned her head, and said solemnly to Yuan Xiu: "Husband, even the Fengyou River, the broadest and longest river in the north, cannot compare with the vastness of the sea. If you fight the pirates, remember to kill them Lead them to land, close the door and beat the dogs. If they run into the sea, don't chase them, just wait for them to land."

Yuan

Xiu is mentally prepared for water battles.

But what he was thinking was that his troops were not good at water warfare and might be at a disadvantage.

But I never thought about avoiding the risks from the sea itself.

Lin Xuezhu thought, since that's all, let's talk more.

Then he said: "Pirates live at sea all year round and are exposed to wind and sun. Their skin is much rougher than that of ordinary people. It is not only black, but also black and red, and even chapped. Because there are often wind and waves on the ship, and they are unstable. Their feet are also different from ordinary people, their toes may be damaged. There is not enough fresh water in the sea, and their teeth will be very rough, especially on the palms, there must be calluses."

Yuan Xiu listened very seriously. , and sketched a portrait of a pirate in his mind.

However, this portrait is really not beautiful.

Chapter 425 The North is here, and the roots are there.

Lin Xuezhu revealed her lifelong knowledge of pirates.

Including the movie I watched, what a nonsensical plot.

As Yuan Xiu listened, he felt that her words were gradually going astray, and found it a bit funny.

Those stories that sound outrageous are so interesting.

It was as if the door to a new world had been opened to him.

That world was more interesting than the one his mother told.

As Lin Xuezhu was talking, she noticed a mysterious smile on Yuan Xiu's lips.

She was speechless.

"Husband, why are you laughing?" she asked pretending to be unhappy.

Yuan Xiu came back to his senses and looked at Lin Xuezhu tenderly.

Said: "Did what Madam said really happen?"

"Of course not." Lin Xuezhu said: "Do you know how cruel pirates are? The probability of ordinary people surviving when encountering pirates is very slim. Think about it, it's boundless. Once caught on the ship, there is nowhere to run. If I really encountered a pirate, would I still be alive?"

After saying that, she came to her senses.

After working on it for a long time, the plots of the film and television dramas she mentioned were not of much help to Yuan Xiu's expedition!

Embarrassed.

Lin Xuezhu coughed twice and turned his head.

Yuan Xiu looked at the slender and lovely back and couldn't help but rub the top of her hair.

"Madam, I love hearing what you said." He said softly.

"Those are all false." Lin Xuezhu felt aggrieved.

What else could she do for her husband?

So angry!

Yuan Xiu reined in the reins, and the two horses stopped almost at the same time.

Yuan Xiu said: "Madam, is truth so important? I like to hear what you said, it is true."

Lin Xuezhu blinked and asked weakly: "Are you talking to me about the philosophy of life? "

Yuan Xiu laughed, "I just said that Madam is the most real when she is by my side."

Lin Xuezhu finally smiled.

Yuan Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her expression softened a little.

A few days later, the prefect's mansion cleared a large piece of farmland on the outskirts of Feiyun City and planned to sell it to the people in the city.

Lin Xuezhu asked Wen Xiuqing to take over a piece of land and hand it over to the girls under Jing Lan to take care of it.

Moreover, he sorted out all the family's property, compiled it into a book, and gave it to Wen Xiuqing.

Wen Xiuqing was really surprised when she got these.

It's not because Lin Xuezhu has too many properties, but because why should my daughter give these things to her?

"What are you and my uncle doing recently?"

The two children are often away from home, and every time they come back, they always look in a hurry.

The whole family could feel that something unusual was happening.

Facing Wen Xiuqing's worried eyes, Lin Xuezhu smiled very easily.

"Mom, my husband and I are busy building the Northern Territory. Recently, I have often felt weak, so I will hand over my property to you. Whoever is free at home can help me take care of it, so as not to have to worry about it. I'm tired of being alone."

Wen Xiuqing didn't believe this statement.

The whole family knows how capable my daughter is.

When did she say that she was exhausted?

No, it couldn't be...

Wen Xiuqing asked with bright eyes: "Daughter, are you pregnant?"

Lin Xuezhu almost spit out the sip of tea she just took in her mouth.

She was convinced, where is this?

When Wen Xiuqing saw her daughter like this, she knew that her question was in vain.

She couldn't say how disappointed she was, but she was still a little disappointed.

The family was not interested in having a baby, so she didn't say much and accepted the order given by Lin Xuezhu, and the matter was over.

When Lin Xuezhu came out of her mother's room, she felt a little lucky.

Although it was quite embarrassing to be misunderstood by Youxi, at least there was a break and my mother didn't ask anything else.

She had already made up her mind, even if Yuan Xiu disagreed, she would follow him to the battlefield.

Even if there is a battle ahead, it would be better for her to be a logistics supporter.

In short, she wanted to stay by his side, as husband and wife, sharing weal and woe.

And I can't tell my family about this yet.

Half a month later, the imperial court issued a decree to restore the status of King Yuan Xiuxiang and promote him to the first rank of general to govern the country.

When he heard this decree, Lin Chengzhang knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, after Yuan Xiu received the order, the eunuch who delivered it came up with the second imperial edict.

Pirates from the Southern Territory entered the country with the intention of destabilizing the country. He ordered General Zhenguo to immediately organize his army and set out to quell the chaos in the Southern Territory three days later.

When they heard the news, the Lin family almost fainted.

We have just lived a stable life, why are we going to war again?

Although the battlefield is far away from them, my uncle is the backbone of their family!

If my brother-in-law has a problem, what will my daughter do?

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she wanted to stand up and say something.

Even if it costs her life, she still has to ask the Dog Emperor, is he still a human being?

Fortunately, Wen Xiuqing and Lin Jiayuan held her tightly.

Mr. Lu couldn't move and opened his mouth to curse.

Yuan Xiu said loudly: "I accept the order."

Lu was stunned.

Why did this silly boy accept the order?

The eunuch who delivered the edict was very satisfied and immediately took out the third imperial edict.

This is the most outrageous.

It was said that the general of Zhenguo was away on an expedition, which would inevitably affect his family members. The emperor was gracious and specially summoned his family members into the palace, where the queen would take care of them personally.

As soon as this imperial edict came out, the Lin family, who was almost fainting with grief, hardened their fists.

The Dog Emperor cannot trust Yuan Xiu and wants to use his family as hostages!

After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch handed the bright yellow scroll to Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu missed the call.

The eunuch said neither yin nor yang: "General, are you going to resist the decree?"

Yuan Xiu said nothing.

So what if you resist?

His family is his bottom line.

The emperor's brother has even touched his bottom line, do you still expect him to obey?

"My wife accepts the order." At this time, Lin Xuezhu spoke.

The eunuch's face softened a little, and he said meaningfully: "The princess still understands the righteousness. Then, in three days, when the general Zhenguo goes on an expedition, the general's family members will enter the capital with the Za family."

"Wait a minute." Lin Xuezhu stood up, He took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it, and handed it to Lin Chengzhang.

When Lin Chengzhang saw it, it was a divorce letter, and his eyes immediately turned red.

My daughter doesn't want to cause trouble to them, so she wants to break off the relationship with them!

How can this be done!

Wen Xiuqing also saw the words written on the paper, and immediately couldn't control her tears.

"Daughter, we can't do things like this. Let's go to Beijing together as a family and wait for the prince's triumphant return."

How can any parent abandon their children?

The emperor's order cannot be violated, otherwise the whole family will suffer great misfortune.

Lin Xuezhu's face was calm and his expression was firm. He held the hands of Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing and whispered: "Father, mother, guard the north for me and my husband. When my husband returns in triumph, the north will be his place."

They wanted to The Northern Territory has devoted too much.

No matter what happens, we cannot lose our base camp in the north.

The North is where their roots are.

As long as you have a foundation, you are not afraid of starting over.

Chapter 426: How could the people in the palace be so aggressive?

Lin Xuezhu was thinking about longer-term things.

But for the biological father and mother, nothing can compare with the stability of their daughter.

Lin Xuezhu had already put his fingerprints on the divorce letter.

Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing did not want to press this fingerprint.

Even if they die, they want to die with their daughter.

How could it be possible for my daughter to go to Beijing alone?

"Mom and Dad, we can't all be implicated because of me. Besides, taking you to the capital will only constrain me everywhere. Without the burden, I can act better."

After saying these words, Lin Xuezhu took Lin Chengzhang's hand and pressed his fingerprints on the divorce letter.

Similarly, Wen Xiuqing's fingerprint was pressed by her forcefully.

After doing this, she handed the divorce letter to the eunuch who delivered the decree and said: "Now, I have nothing to do with them. I can just go to the capital with you."

"There is more." The eunuch who delivered the decree said with The whisk in his hand clicked on Mr. Lu.

The Lu family is Yuan Xiu's family. Whether Lin Xuezhu and the Lin family are divorced or not has no influence on her.

"I'll go to Beijing with you." Madam Lu stood up and said decisively: "If anything happens to Xiu'er, I won't be able to live anymore. I will go to Beijing with Xuezhu, so I can have someone to take care of me."

Madam Lu was determined. There is no doubt about it.

Everyone had no choice but to rely on her.

Lin Xuezhu looked at Mr. Lu and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

She still remembered that before the house was raided, she and Mr. Lu were taken into the palace as hostages by the Queen.

Later, they were escorted out of the palace together.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, she and Mr. Lu finally entered the palace together.

Maybe this is the fate between people.

But this time, Lu held Lin Xuezhu's hand.

The eunuch looked at this scene and sneered secretly: This Princess Xiang is quite a character.

Chang Jingzhong's evaluation of her is rather biased.

The eunuch thought this and said: "Please prepare for the expedition, King Xiang. As for Princess Xiang, if you want to bring anything with you, please bring it with you. We have enough carriages and horses."

Isn't it enough? It was supposed to carry more than a dozen Going back alone, there are only two people now.

If I had known this, why would I have brought so many carriages and horses out to show off.

Lin Xuezhu ignored the eunuch's weirdness, she just thought it was funny.

The Dog Emperor was afraid that he didn't know what she was capable of, so he wanted to take her into the palace as a hostage.

Haha, let him have a taste of what it feels like to be in a hurry.

Lin Xuezhu decided that if the Dog Emperor was unkind, she would certainly be unjust.

She couldn't change her decision to go to Beijing, but she could stir up trouble and stir up troubles, but it was all in her mind.

And her business.

Since she is in the capital, many things will be easier to handle.

When the time comes, wouldn't it be more convenient to harvest the money bags of people in the capital?

Thinking about it this way, Lin Xuezhu felt that the days when her husband was away would not be too difficult.

The eunuch took the people away.

Yuan Xiu and Kong Bo returned to the government office together. He needed to reorganize the army.

Thanks to Emperor Gou, except for the Northern Conquest Army in Anbeicheng, which has been integrated into one place, the Northern Conquest Army in other places are scattered and mixed with the border army.

Three days to reorganize the army and prepare weapons and food. This is an almost impossible task.

Fortunately, Yuan Xiu was prepared and informed Kong Bo in advance.

However, the issue of preparation is not the main issue.

The most important thing is how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the Northern Army.

With the lessons learned after the Battle of the North, who is still willing to work for the imperial court?

But this time, the Dog Emperor made up for it, saying that after pacifying the bandits in the Southern Region, he would reward the Northern Army three times the reward.

Even ghosts wouldn't believe this pie painting.

In the end, Yuan Xiu's personal charm could only be relied on to mobilize the Northern Army.

After sending everyone away, the Lin family turned around and entered the house.

The whole family, old and young, sat or stood together in the main hall.

Wen Xiuqing wiped her tears and said, "Daughter, the last time you handed over your property to me, I noticed something was wrong. But I never expected that it would be like this. Since you knew about the war in the Southern Territory, why didn't you cooperate with me? We said? You just made up a story to lie to me, you are really..."

The content of her words seemed to be reproachful, but her tone was filled with heartache and reluctance.

As a mother, she could do nothing for her daughter, and her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

Equally powerless are the entire Lin family.

Everyone lowered their heads with serious expressions, looking gloomy.

Lin Xuezhu smiled faintly and said indifferently: "Mom, so what if I told you, except for letting you live a few more unhappy days, there is no benefit at all. There is no one available in the court, and my husband cannot watch the Southern Territory fall into trouble. The war has caused the people to be displaced. I knew that his final choice would be to go to war. However, I didn't expect that the emperor would do this. "

I didn't expect that you had already written the divorce letter . Today." Wen Xiuqing felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

Lin Xuezhu told the truth, "I wrote the divorce letter just in case of emergency, and I didn't intend to use it. Looking at it today, it's a good thing I prepared it, otherwise it would look too deliberate to write it now."

"Just press your fingerprints now . Isn't it intentional..." Wen Xiuqing burst into tears.

Lin Xuezhu took two steps forward, walked to Wen Xiuqing, hugged her shoulders, and said: "Mom, the matter has come to an end, it is useless to talk more. If you really pity my daughter, take good care of my property, and wait. When I return to the north, I can live a life of eating and waiting to die."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Chengyao slapped his head and ran away.

The rest of the family was also confused.

Jiang Qishuang hesitated whether to follow her to have a look, but when she thought that her eldest niece was leaving, she didn't want to care about her husband.

He doesn't have to go to Beijing anyway, he can do whatever he likes.

Right now, the eldest niece's matter is more important.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Mother, Jing Lan will regularly take people from the Tata tribe to the capital to do business. After I arrive in the palace, I will find a way to get in touch with her. In this way, when she comes back, you can know about me Any news?"

Wen Xiuqing stopped crying when she heard this.

As long as you can get in touch with your daughter, that's the best thing.

Otherwise, she had no idea what kind of life her daughter would live alone in Beijing.

Lin Xuezhu patted Wen Xiuqing on the back and said: "Mom, our family has been through confiscation and exile. It's just to be a hostage in the palace, what should I be afraid of! Don't worry, your daughter is so capable, you still can't Do you know?"

"Daughter, the palace is no better than other places. Although our journey in exile is difficult, we can cope with the people and things we encounter. But in the palace... don't take the people and things in the palace too easy. ." Lin Chengzhang said worriedly.

He understood the truth and knew that it would be a better choice for them not to go to Beijing with their daughter.

However, how could he feel relieved!

My daughter has not met any rivals along the way, but the palace is a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones!

The people in the palace are not so aggressive.

Chapter 427 He chose the person who is better for the world.

Seeing Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing were extremely anxious, Mrs. Lu said: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, I will go to Beijing with Xuezhu and I will definitely take care of her. Even so. Even if I risk my life, no one will touch her. "

Ms. Lu has this intention.

However, once the two of them enter the palace, what does her life mean?

Everyone was worried when they saw Lin Chengyao running back with a big wooden box in his hands.

"Eldest niece, this is for you." He handed the wooden box to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu opened it and saw ten neat pills.

"Uncle?" Lin Xuezhu was puzzled.

Lin Chengyao said: "The ten spring-returning elixirs are all I have in my hand. Take them all and share them with your uncle. At this critical moment, you may be able to save your life."

Lin Xuezhu looked at the ten elixirs of different sizes inside. Although she wanted to complain about her uncle's alchemy skills, she was more moved in the end.

"Uncle, what about your belief in saving the world?" Lin Xuezhu asked deliberately.

Lin Chengyao scratched his head and said: "If you want to save the world, you can't do it with me as a doctor. My uncle's battle is to save people. Therefore, if you and my uncle survive, you can save more people. "

After he finished speaking, he glanced at his wife subconsciously.

Jiang Qishuang smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Chengyao suddenly felt that his waist had become much stiffer.

Finally done something for my eldest niece and niece-in-law!

Lin Chengyao took a deep breath and returned to sit next to Jiang Qishuang.

Lin Xuezhu said: "I know everyone is worried and reluctant to let go. But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk more. You guys will guard the northern territory, my husband will guard the southern territory, and I will guard myself. Let's each perform our duties. After saying that

, Lin Xuezhu smiled at everyone, hugged the wooden box and left.

Sometimes, people just have to be cruel.

Procrastinating will only increase the pain for each.

She couldn't give her family more choices when it came to going to Beijing.

After returning to the room and putting the Spring Return Pill into the space, Lin Xuezhu had someone prepare a carriage.

She packed some luggage for Yuan Xiu. There weren't many things, but they were all necessary.

After doing this, she carried her luggage onto the carriage and drove the carriage alone towards the prefect's mansion.

In the prefect's mansion, Kong Bo frowned and was looking through a thick stack of files.

Although I was prepared in my heart, the preparation time given by the emperor was still too tight.

There was resentment in his heart, but he had to concentrate and do what he could do.

If he does more, he can help the general to share more of his burdens.

He didn't dare to neglect.

When Yuan Xiu mobilized his troops, he gathered all the resources that could be collected in the entire northern territory.

Including grain, vehicles, horses, weapons...

When Lin Xuezhu arrived at the prefect's mansion, he heard that Kong Bo and Yuan Xiu were very busy, so he didn't bother them and just went to the room to wait.

This wait lasted until the middle of the night.

Only when everything was silent did Yuan Xiu come back from outside.

He temporarily requisitioned the prefect's mansion as his office and residence.

Fortunately, the Prefect's Mansion was well prepared.

"Madam is here," said the waiter.

Yuan Xiu nodded.

When he saw the candlelight, he guessed it was her, so he gently opened the door.

"Husband." Lin Xuezhu raised her head and smiled slightly.

Yuan Xiu had an inexplicable thought.

Madam had been unhappy for a long time because she expected him to go on an expedition.

Now that he is really leaving, and his wife has been taken to the capital as a hostage, the days ahead should be extremely difficult.

The two were about to sit down and talk when they heard Huang Hao's voice coming from outside.

"General, I humbly ask for an audience."

Lin Xuezhu quickly packed up and hid in the inner room.

Yuan Xiu sat next to the table and said, "Come in."

Huang Hao pushed the door open and entered.

He took a few people with him and drove away the boys who were responsible for serving Yuan Xiu.

Several people were arranged in the four outer corners of the room, serious and alert.

"Huang Hao, what's the matter?" Yuan Xiu's name for him has been changed.

Huang Hao knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "The general pacified the northern territory, solved the worries for the court, and restored peace to the people of the world, but he was framed, his house confiscated and exiled. Now that something happened in the southern region, the emperor thought of the general again. The general agreed regardless of the past grudges. We all see the great righteousness of putting an end to the chaos and bear it in our hearts."

Yuan Xiu listened silently, with doubts in his eyes.

Huang Hao continued: "But the emperor does not trust the general, and even brings his wife into the palace as a hostage. It is really too much! I am willing to follow the general. No matter what the general wants to do, we will not say anything."

The words are vague, but the meaning is obvious.

The Dog Emperor is not a human being. If Yuan Xiu wants to rebel, the Northern Expedition Army will follow him.

Damn it!

However, Yuan Xiu just listened calmly and said, "In that case, just follow me to the Southern Territory."

Huang Hao was stunned.

After a while, he was unconvinced and said: "General, with this arrangement, the emperor is obviously using the general and the Northern Army. We don't care. We are willing to follow the general. We accept the good and the bad, but what about my wife? Can the general bear to watch? Madam goes to the palace to suffer? What if they want to do something to Madam, how should Madam

, a weak woman, deal with it? If there is peace, they won't do anything to Madam."

"But what if the South Territory is peace?" Are they going to do the same thing again?

"Now that the Southern Territory is at peace, I won't let them touch my wife at all." Yuan Xiu said coldly.

Huang Hao clenched his fists at his sides and said after a while: "Yes, I humbly obey the general's orders."

Yuan Xiu smiled lightly at him and said: "Huang Hao, the duty of a soldier is to protect the world and the people. "Whether it's you or anyone else, just do this."

"I understand," Huang Hao saluted and turned around to leave.

Since the general made such a choice, of course they would risk their lives and fight side by side with the general again.

After Huang Hao left, Lin Xuezhu came out of the inner room.

In her hand, she held a bright yellow scroll.

Yuan Xiu's expression changed when he saw it.

Lin Xuezhu sat next to him and handed him the scroll.

Yuan Xiu didn't answer.

Lin Xuezhu put the scroll on the table.

He said, "I found this in the secret room of Qinzheng Palace. I found it when I came back to sort out my things."

Yuan Xiu remained silent, but his brows furrowed deeply.

Lin Xuezhu said: "The late emperor deposed the prince and established King Xiang as emperor. The first thing King Xiang did after he ascended the throne was to eradicate the queen's lineage, but he must spare the life of the deposed prince and imprison him for life."

She saw Yuan Xiu's expression became more and more serious and he stopped talking.

At the moment of his death, the late emperor finally made the most important choice in his life.

On one side is the ignorant prince who is powerful in his mother's family, and on the other is the helpless but devoted Prince Xiang.

He chose the person who was better for the world, but ignored how much disaster his choice would bring to this young son.

Chapter 428: Just a rare treasure.

At this moment, Lin Xuezhu seemed to be able to understand the helplessness of a king.

However, the late emperor's choice brought compassion to the world, but made it difficult for Yuan Xiu alone.

How could his little son, who had nothing to rely on, fight against the prince's faction?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but feel sorry for Qi Yuanxiu.

Being in the royal family, he really endured too much.

Lin Xuezhu gently hugged Yuan Xiu's neck and rested her head on the crook of his neck.

Yuan Xiu's breathing was even and long, and his mentality did not seem to be affected by the imperial edict.

After a while, he said: "Madam has discovered this edict a long time ago, so she concentrated on rebuilding the Northern Territory. Do you want the Northern Territory to become my reliance?"

Lin Xuezhu nodded.

She had indeed discovered this edict a long time ago.

But at that time, Yuan Xiu was still a sinner and was seriously injured, so he was unable to compete with the Dog Emperor.

Telling the existence of this edict will only disturb his mentality.

Therefore, she remained silent and focused on the reconstruction of the North.

If the northern border becomes a granary, he will not worry about lack of food and wages.

With fortifications in the north, he didn't have to worry about barbarian tribes.

With a new economic order established in the north, he no longer had to worry about the people supporting him.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he loses, he can still retreat to the north and resist stubbornly.

The northern border is his greatest confidence.

"Husband, I still have a lot of things to do. I could have done better."

Lin Xuezhu's voice was hoarse, filled with regret and melancholy.

"It's okay." Yuan Xiu turned around, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her back.

"You have done a good job. No one in your position can do better than you. Moreover, when you are doing things yourself, you have not forgotten to teach others. In this way, even if you leave Once you reach the North, they will continue to build it according to your wishes. Madam, don't worry, protecting yourself is the only thing you have to do in the future."

Lin Xuezhu smiled.

She said easily: "Husband, I'm not worried about myself at all. Do you know what life-saving method I thought of?"

"What?" Yuan Xiu was curious.

Lin Xuezhu said: "If someone wants to harm me, I will take them into the space, and when my husband comes back, help me deal with them."

Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "This is a good idea."

He was worried about Lin Xuezhu, but he didn't So worried.

He knew that she could do a lot of things in her space and that she was fully capable of protecting herself.

And...

he took out a whistle from his pocket and put it into Lin Xuezhu's hand.

"Your bone whistle?" Lin Xuezhu realized something when he saw that the whistle was one he often blew. Yuan Xiu

said: "Since I go to the Southern Territory, I must focus on the war situation. These people under me and the matters they are responsible for are left to Madam. Madam will use them when they are needed, and there is no need to save them for me."

Lin Xuezhu knew . , Yuan Xiu gave her this in the hope that someone would protect her.

However, when he goes to the battlefield, doesn't he need these secret guards and informants even more?

Yuan Xiu seemed to understand her thoughts and said: "My enemies are foreigners. These people can't help me. It's better for my wife to take care of it. In addition, I have a list here."

As he said that, he took another step from his arms . He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu opened it and saw the names of many officials written inside.

Then he asked: "Are these my husband's people?"

Yuan Xiu nodded, "Brother Huang is afraid of me, and I am not completely unprepared. These people were arranged by my father for me. Before anything happened to me, I warned them not to expose themselves. Therefore, the emperor does not know exactly who these people are. Madam can use them if necessary in the palace, but she should carefully screen them before using them to avoid betrayal. "

Lin Xuezhu was very moved.

A list and a bone whistle, this is Yuan Xiu's wealth and life.

Now, he entrusts his life to her for safekeeping.

How could she not feel this trust and cherishment!

Lin Xuezhu thought for a moment and took the bone whistle and the list into the space.

The war is coming, and she doesn't want Yuan Xiu to distract her.

Only by accepting all his good intentions can he be reassured.

Lin Xuezhu took out the large wooden box given by Lin Chengyao from the space, opened it, and spread it in front of Yuan Xiu.

The ten Spring-Returning Pills are all uneven.

Lin Xuezhu found a few pieces of oil paper from the space, wrapped the Spring Pills one by one, and stuffed them into her purse.

"This is all my uncle's hard work. He asked me to hand it over to you." Lin Xuezhu said: "At the critical moment, it can save your life."

Yuan Xiu paused, picked up the purse with both hands, and stuffed it solemnly into his arms.

Lin Xuezhu was worried and told her, "I know you feel sorry for your generals. I allow you to give eight of them to others, and keep the remaining two for yourself no matter what."

Yuan Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "I agree. Madam ordered."

After the two of them gave each other their things, a big stone seemed to fall to the ground in their hearts.

The atmosphere in the room became a little more relaxed.

Lin Xuezhu took some fruits from the space and ate them with Yuan Xiu.

After a long while, she said regretfully: "Husband, there is a lot of food and drink in my space. It's a pity that I can't follow you to the battlefield. Otherwise, I can provide for you even if you fight for ten or eight years."

"Oh? Madam, you are like this. Are you confident?" Yuan Xiu said dubiously.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lin Xuezhu became unconvinced, "Why don't you just go in and have a look yourself?"

As she said that, she suddenly realized and moved Yuan Xiu into the space.

Yuan Xiu was holding a peach and eating it well, but the scene in front of Leng Buding changed.

Lin Xuezhu was quite romantic and dropped him directly into the flower field.

Yuan Xiu was in a sea of ​​colorful flowers and was stunned for a moment.

He thought that Madam's space was just for storing some things, similar to a warehouse.

Unexpectedly, there is such a beautiful scenery.

He saw a fruit forest in the distance and walked over.

There are all kinds of things that grow on trees, climb on vines, and grow on the ground.

Yuan Xiu has eaten all these fruits before.

But he didn't expect that there were rows of rattan baskets on the ground of the orchard.

Every rattan basket was almost overflowing with fruit.

At a glance, there are too many rattan baskets to count.

In addition to fruit groves, there are vegetable fields, rice fields, wheat fields...

and even bamboo groves and medicinal fields.

Hundreds of granaries were built alone, filled with grain.

Baskets of bamboo shoots, baskets of medicinal materials, and bamboo poles that were cut down and used for unknown purposes but stacked neatly.

Yuan Xiu was surprised when he heard Lin Xuezhu's voice coming from mid-air.

"How about my husband, are these enough to feed your soldiers for ten or eight years?"

Enough, this is enough.

Before Yuan Xiu could recover from the shock, he was moved to the treasure building by Lin Xuezhu.

Compared to the shock that the outside world brought to him, the Treasure House was simply not worth mentioning.

They were just things in the treasury, and he had seen many of them.

Just a rare treasure.

At the critical moment, it will be of little use.

Chapter 429: The Businessman Without Any Impurities

Some people say that money is everything, but Yuan Xiu doesn't think so.

If the whole world is hit by disaster and cannot produce food, then no matter how much gold and silver the national treasury has, it will not be enough for the people to eat.

Therefore, Yuan Xiu doesn't care about the treasures in the treasury.

In contrast, he cares more about the output of the fields.

He stood on the top floor of the treasure building and looked down.

The vast fields made his mind suddenly open.

It would be great if the world could be as prosperous as this space.

As he looked, he saw an inconspicuous gray house next to the treasure house.

It is said to be a house, but its shape is really strange.

It's square and square, rather like a large box.

Yuan Xiu was curious and asked in the sky where Lin Xuezhu's voice came from: "Madam, what's in that?"

Lin Xuezhu's consciousness followed the direction of Yuan Xiu's finger.

Answered calmly: "Oh, that's the garbage station there."

Garbage?

Yuan Xiu had never heard this word before and couldn't understand it.

Lin Xuezhu explained: "It means waste."

Yuan Xiu suddenly became interested and strolled down the treasure building and walked to the waste station.

When I opened the door, I saw a mess inside, completely different from the scene outside.

There are wardrobes, screens, Eight Immortals tables, desks, coffee tables, bookcases, round stools, square stools, and even Babu beds, etc.

It seems that they are all daily utensils.

Some of them even looked familiar to him.

It seems like... it's an item from a certain royal brother's house.

He understood instantly.

These things were all brought in by Lin Xuezhu when he was moving other people's things.

She disliked the original owners of those things, so she got angry at those things and called them "trash".

Yuan Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

He quickly walked out and closed the door.

He doesn't like anything his wife doesn't like.

"Have you seen enough?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

"That's enough." Yuan Xiu replied.

Everything here was enough to shock him.

The scene in front of him changed, and Yuan Xiu found himself back in the room of the Prefect's Mansion.

Lin Xuezhu said: "The flow of time in my space is different from that outside. The maturity period of all crops is very short. I use my consciousness to harvest every day, and slowly I have accumulated so many things. Moreover, my space It also has the function of keeping things fresh. As long as things are inside, they will not go bad and will remain in the same state as when they were taken off. "

She has never taken the initiative to talk to Yuan Xiu about the functions of these spaces.

They are all said by the way when something happens.

Today, she was patient and told Yuan Xiu all she knew about the functions of space.

After saying this, she said: "Husband, I am your backing. Apart from fighting for you, I can help you solve all logistical problems. If you encounter any shortage of supplies in the Southern Territory, remember to send someone to me Send a message and I will move the whole world to you."

This sounded funny, and Yuan Xiu would have laughed.

But today, every word he said made him feel extremely anxious.

He is no longer a lonely prince with nothing to rely on. He has a wife and the most solid backing in the world.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiu felt eager in his heart.

He looked at Lin Xuezhu, wishing that every move and expression she made would be deeply imprinted in his heart.

He doesn't want to forget it in this life or the next life.

"Madam..." Yuan Xiu murmured and kissed Lin Xuezhu's lips.

Not only did he want to imprint her image in his heart, but he also wanted to carve everything about himself into her body.

Candlelight flickered and figures intertwined.

That night, the two of them seemed to spend the rest of their lives refusing to separate for a moment.

It wasn't until dawn that Yuan Xiu got up and asked someone to bring water for a bath.

Lin Xuezhu fell into a drowsy state and waited until Yuan Xiu left before returning her consciousness to the space to catch up on her sleep.

Two hours later, she was resurrected with full health.

It was just noon when I came out of the space and finished washing.

The servants of the Prefect's Mansion brought the food. Lin Xuezhu ate it in a hurry and drove the carriage out.

She went directly to the bank and blew the bone whistle in the room belonging to the shopkeeper.

The syllables she blew were unique to summoning the secret guards.

Yuan Xiu asked her to remember this code no matter what, so that she could save her life at the critical moment.

However, Lin Xuezhu blew the signal and nothing happened.

She opened the window and looked at the sky, feeling a little embarrassed.

Is there something wrong with her blowing?

Wasn't it supposed that as soon as her whistle blew, a man in black fell from the sky?

Her windows are open, where is the man in black?

Could it be that she was asked to lift the roof off the house and cooperate with the men in black to land?

Lin Xuezhu was speechless and once again felt the atmosphere of nothing happening.

Then she picked up the ledger.

Check the account first, and if nothing happens after half an hour, she will blow it again.

If she couldn't call the secret guard today, she would ask Yuan Xiu at night.

You Yuanxiu hasn't set off yet, and everything is still too late.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the account for a while and saw Hu Sandong running up.

"Miss Xuezhu, we have an important guest to meet you," Hu Santong said.

Lin Xuezhu didn't react for a while and asked: "What kind of big customer?"

"The owner of Yuelai Inn said that he has a big business worth tens of thousands of taels, and he wants to talk to the shopkeeper in person." Hu Santong said happily: "This is a big deal. It's a big deal, Miss Xuezhu, do you want to see him?"

Lin Xuezhu sounded surprised.

She knew that Yuelai Inn was a well-established inn in Feiyun City.

It is said that when the barbarian tribes came over, Yuelai Inn closed down for a time.

After the war, everything was in ruins, but the Yuelai Inn was the first to resume business.

It can be seen that the boss behind it has certain strength.

Although Lin Xuezhu didn't care about the tens of thousands of taels of business, she thought it would be difficult for her to refuse once someone came to her door, so she asked Hu Santong to bring him in.

It was the first time for Hu Santong to take on such a big business, and he was very excited.

After bringing the person in, he carefully closed the door.

When Lin Xuezhu saw that the visitor was a gentle middle-aged man who looked to be about the same age as Lin Chengzhang, he stood up and prepared to say hello.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for her to speak, the visitor knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Lin Xuezhu was stunned for a moment, then realized that this person was probably the leader of the secret guard in charge of Feiyun City.

She glanced quietly at the open window, feeling a little funny.

I thought the secret guard would jump in through the window, but I didn't expect that they would come in this way.

Just... quite approachable.

"Get up." Lin Xuezhu thought that she should look like a princess.

So, she sat back firmly and asked, "How should I call you?"

"Princess, just call me Fulu," the middle-aged man said.

What a good name, it sounds like a businessman without any impurities.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Fu Lu, I came to you because I have something I need you to arrange."

"The princess may speak, but the villain will be loyal to the princess with all his heart and soul." Fulu said.

Chapter 430 Up and down the capital, even if

Lin Xuezhu was here, he was still worried that when he and the Lu family came to the capital, the bank and the grain store would no longer have shopkeepers.

And these two things happen to be useful to Yuan Xiu.

Although she can ask her family to help, since she has severed ties with her family, she naturally does not want to involve them again.

It's good now. The leader of Yuan Xiu's secret guards is the owner of Yuelai Inn.

Let him choose two people to take charge of the bank and grain store, which not only saves money for his family, but also makes it easier to make repairs and supplies.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Fu Lu, I need you to choose two people who are good at business to take over the Xingsheng Bank and the Longsheng Grain Store. In addition, choose a person who is good at martial arts to take charge of the Lingyun Martial Arts School. The bank and the grain store will be in charge. Provide support for the construction of the Northern Territory. Secondly, if the prince needs it, it can be supplied at any time. As for the Lingyun Martial Arts School, it is to cultivate more martial arts talents for the Northern Territory and to make the scholars who take the imperial examination path stronger. You will bring them here tomorrow and I will hand over to you."

"Understood." Fulu handed over.

Lin Xuezhu finished arranging his own business and said: "In addition, I also need you to arrange the supply line from south to north. First, use the northern border as the base camp, and slowly move to the southern region. In this way, once the prince has a need, we can Provide support as quickly as possible. The items transported by this supply line include but are not limited to military supplies, weapons and equipment, etc. "

Okay," Fulu agreed happily.

Seeing that he had no objections, Lin Xuezhu knew that he must have his own way.

She didn't plan to ask too much. After all, she was going to Beijing, and many things were beyond her reach.

All she has to do is arrange tasks and let the people below figure out how to execute them.

Then, accept the results.

Lin Xuezhu added: "Also, I need you to establish a communication line from the north to the palace, and from the south to the palace, so that I can call it at any time. The responsibilities of this line include but are not limited to message transmission, material transportation, and Action arrangements for people or things."

"Understood." Fu Lu accepted the order.

Seeing his confident attitude, Lin Xuezhu asked: "How long will it take for you to finish the last two things I told you?"

Fulu's expression remained unchanged and he said, "When the princess comes to Beijing, this matter will be finished."

Lin Xuezhu After a little calculation, the journey to Beijing was obviously much slower than Yuan Xiu's rapid march to the Southern Territory.

But before Yuan Xiu left, Emperor Dog had ordered that grain and grass be transferred from the northern border as military pay.

Kong Bo did his best to make more of this batch of grain and grass.

Along the way, the Dog Emperor would also replenish food and grass at other places.

Therefore, for a period of time after Yuan Xiu arrived in the Southern Territory, there should be sufficient food and grass.

However, there were floods last year, and she emptied the treasury of food. She was afraid that no matter how hard the Dog Emperor tried, he would not be able to get enough food.

Therefore, supplies from her side are very necessary.

Fulu had a pretty good grasp of time, and it seemed that Yuan Xiu's people were not unprepared for their master's expedition.

At least, Fulu had planned the supply problem before she issued the order.

That's good.

Lin Xuezhu was very satisfied.

Seeing that she had no more instructions, Fu Lu took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Lin Xuezhu with both hands.

Said: "Princess, this is the list of our personnel in Beijing. Princess should be able to use it."

Lin Xuezhu nodded, put the list into his sleeve, and said to Fulu, "Go and do your work, I'm fine now."

"Yes . !" Fulu saluted and turned to leave.

Lin Xuezhu waited until he was far away before taking out the list and looking at it.

As a result, you won't know it until you look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

There are people from all walks of life on this list.

If you think about it carefully, although these are all small figures, they have their own magical uses.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Yuan Xiu was so well-informed, these people were his moving microphones!

She put this list together with the list of officials Yuan Xiu gave her, and put them all into the space.

From top to bottom in the capital, this person can be considered as one.

Lin Xuezhu felt a little relieved.

She picked up the account book again, planning to clean up the bank's accounts before she left the North.

It should be clear and unambiguous when handed back to Fulu people.

After settling the accounts, Lin Xuezhu came to the grain store.

At this time, Mr. Lu was also settling accounts.

She has always been very diligent in running the grain store.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu, she asked: "Xuezhu, who should take care of this grain store after I leave?"

Since the grain store and the bank had always been opened under the name of Yuan Xiu's "old friend", it was logical for Lin Xuezhu to do so. He said: "My husband has contacted his old friend, and a new shopkeeper will take over tomorrow. Auntie only needs to count the accounts and make an explanation."

"Okay." Mrs. Lu said calmly.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her expression and felt it was quite unusual.

Normally, she would not be so calm about big issues related to Yuan Xiu's life and death.

However, today, she had a peaceful and gentle temperament in her eyebrows, which was really unusual.

"Auntie." Lin Xuezhu called out, but she didn't know what to say.

Could it be that when someone is emotionally stable, does she have to ask what's going on?

Mrs. Lu raised her head and looked at Lin Xuezhu tenderly.

Lin Xuezhu said: "I don't want my aunt to go to Beijing. In fact, all I need to do is break off the relationship with my husband. If she stays in the north, she can also help me and my husband."

"I want to go to Beijing." Mrs. Lu said firmly.

At the same time, strange emotions flashed in her eyes.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't see clearly, but felt it was unusual.

She stretched out her hand, took away the account book from Lu's hand, and said, "Aunt, if you stay in the north, my husband and I can feel more at ease. What's more, there is a lot to do in the north, and we really need people."

Lu smiled lightly and said, Said: "Xiu'er has a lot of people available, I know this. I am a member of the female class, and my staying here is of little use. I might as well go to Beijing with you and take care of you."

Lin Xuezhu knew . , Mr. Lu must have other ideas.

It's just that she doesn't want to say it, so no one can ask.

Lin Xuezhu remained calm and helped Mr. Lu sort out the accounts together.

After finishing these things, the two took a carriage home together.

At this time, the Lin family was plunged into gloom and mist.

Wen Xiuqing helped Lin Xuezhu and Lu pack their luggage and cried several times.

Lu Mo also followed Yuan Xiu to mobilize troops a long time ago and has not returned home since yesterday.

Although the newly bought servants and maids have not yet had time to establish a deep relationship with their master, they are all depressed due to the emotions of others.

Lin Xuezhu felt the low pressure, felt very distressed and helpless.

"Miss Xuezhu." Cui'er came up to her.

After she gave birth to the child, she was taken to the Lin family to recuperate.

Now that she knew Lin Xuezhu was leaving, she didn't care about General Yang and got up to help with the affairs.

If she hadn't already married and had a baby, she would have wanted to enter the palace with Miss Xuezhu.

Thinking that Miss Xuezhu didn't have a capable person around her, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep.
