It was him?

It seems that Emperor Jingxuan was really wary of them, and letting them go to southern Xinjiang alone was more worrying than going to the border to collect medicine.

That's right, it was she and Liang Wang who went to the border. Wei Ting issued a military order to kill He Lianye. Emperor Jingxuan didn't think that such an arrangement could pose any threat at that time.

Who would have thought that she recruited troops at the border, Wei Ting also went into battle and made great achievements in fighting the enemy, and even Qin Canglan, who was sent to act as a facade, was restored to the post of marshal with the approval of King Liang.

Emperor Jingxuan began to feel restless.

"Go secretly or openly?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting said: "Neither sneaky nor ostentatious, not related to the imperial court, only going to southern Xinjiang in the name of traveling."

There are not many restrictions on outsiders in southern Xinjiang. When you arrive at the border, go to the Yamen to pay a deposit and fill out a few official documents, and press your fingerprint to enter the customs.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "When will we leave?"

Wei Ting said: "Tomorrow morning."

Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely: "So fast?"

Wei Ting said lightly: "The one in Jinluan Palace is afraid of having long nights and dreams, and wants to know my father's whereabouts as soon as possible."

Su Xiaoxiao took another mouthful of white fungus soup: "I don't know what his intentions are."

Wei Ting paused, and said: "After eating, you go to bed first, I'll go and see my father and my uncle and grandma."

He met old Hou Ye and Su Yuan today, but Su Cheng, Mrs. Su and Tao Shi have not met yet.

In fact, it happened so suddenly that it was justifiable not to go. Her father, uncle and grandma would not blame Wei Ting, but Wei Ting insisted on going. In a way, it also represented the importance she attached to her family.

"I can't sleep anymore, I'll go with you." It happened that she also had something to ask Su Xuan.

The two went to the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Su Ergou fell asleep, and Su Cheng was still practicing martial arts.

In the past, he was doing nothing in the countryside, but after coming to the capital, especially after his daughter got married, Su Cheng felt the burden on his shoulders.

He wants to carry the Duke Protector's Mansion, so that his father and daughter won't be burdened anymore.

"father."

Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao walked over.

Su Cheng put away the red-tasseled gun, and looked at the two in surprise: "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Come and see Dad."

Su Cheng reproachfully said: "Come tomorrow morning, it's so late and you still don't sleep, your son-in-law is still injured!"

Saying so, the joy of seeing the daughter and son-in-law cannot be concealed.

Wei Ting said softly, "I'm fine, we're here to say goodbye to dad tonight."

Su Cheng's face froze: "Leave again?"

Wei Ting told about the Nanjiang party.

During the day, Su Cheng also heard his colleagues mention the matter of the early court. He guessed that they would go to southern Xinjiang, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"This..." There were thousands of words in his mind, but suddenly he couldn't utter a single word.

"Father, I'll get it." Wei Ting brought the heavy red-tasseled gun for him, and put it on the weapon rack beside him.

The three sat down around the stone table.

Su Cheng said nothing.

Su Xiaoxiao gently tugged on his sleeve: "Father."

Su Cheng said sadly: "It's all my father's fault, my father... a few years ago... work harder... don't waste your martial arts... maybe it can be useful now..."

Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "Father, it's not easy for you to raise me and Ergou so much. Besides, you didn't waste your martial arts. You often secretly practiced martial arts in the woods behind our house, breaking a big stone on your chest. I know how to split bricks with bare hands."

Su Cheng choked.

Ah, what a shame.

For Su Xiaoxiao, her father is the best father in the world. He didn't give up his martial arts even if his hand was crippled. Without a master, he just relied on his own hammer and hammer to steal the teacher. After coming to the capital, he became serious. Bajing practiced martial arts with his grandfather and uncle.

To be able to have today's achievements is already great.

The two talked with Su Cheng for a while.

Su Cheng was so worried about her, Su Xiaoxiao decided to tell him about the pregnancy when she came back, so that he wouldn't be more worried.

The two went to see the sleeping Su Ergou again, and Wei Ting left a letter.

Then the two went to the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Mrs. Su rested, Su Yuan, Tao Shi and several cousins ​​also went to sleep, Old Hou Ye called Wei Ting to the study, and Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Xuan's yard.

"Fourth cousin, are you asleep?"

"come in."

Su Xuan said.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and entered, Su Xuan lit the oil lamp.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his neat clothes and couldn't help asking: "Are you up?"

Sitting in the house blindly, what is the hobby?

The two sat down at the table.

Su Xuan poured a glass of warm water for Su Xiaoxiao: "It's so late, what do you need from me?"

Su Xiaoxiao took it and took a sip: "Nanjiang has come to ask Da Zhou to propose marriage, and wants to marry a princess of Da Zhou. I wonder if you have heard of this?"

Su Xuan said: "During dinner, I heard a few words from my father."

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep look at him: "How did you say it was such a coincidence that the storyteller hit the mark?"

Su Xuan smiled quietly: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't see any flaws, that's right, trying to find flaws in the face of the spy chief was similar to looking for water in a frying pan.

Su Xiaoxiao gave up the idea of ​​testing him, and said bluntly: "I'm going to southern Xinjiang, and before I leave, I want to ask my fourth cousin something."

"you say."

"Protect someone for me."

"Who?"

"Princess Hui'an."

Su Xuan also poured himself a glass of warm water, took a sip, and said, "I'm just a scholar, where can I protect the princess of the royal family? I'm afraid I can't even beat a guard around him."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "Fourth Cousin only said yes or no?"

Su Xuan said lightly, "What if I don't agree?"

Su Xiaoxiao said loudly to the door: "Uncle and grandpa! Fourth cousin escape!"

Su Xuan covered her mouth with her backhand, closed her eyes, and said, "Stop shouting, I promise."

Su Xiaoxiao took his hand off, and said with a smile, "I can't let her lose a hair."

Su Xuan helped his forehead helplessly: "Understood."

Su Xiaoxiao walked out of Su Xuan's courtyard boldly.

Suddenly, a casual voice came from the top of the head: "I want to find someone to protect your friend, why don't you find me?"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and saw Su Li lying on a branch of a tree, with her hands folded behind her head, her legs crossed, and a piece of dog's tail grass in her mouth.

This guy has been eavesdropping, the distance from here to the yard is not short, the kid has good hearing.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Are you very good?"

Su Li snorted and said, "Among the brothers in my family, except for the eldest brother, I have the highest martial arts! You can't find anyone, but the fourth brother, he doesn't know martial arts at all!"

But that guy is rich and can spend money to hire experts.

Thinking of this, Su Li felt a little resentful.

Su Xiaoxiao wondered, "Why doesn't Fourth Cousin practice martial arts?"

Su Li said: "He can't learn martial arts. When he was five years old, he had a serious illness. He had a high fever for three days and three nights. When he woke up, his bones were broken. He couldn't practice martial arts anymore. Even if he could barely learn some moves, but he practiced Without a trace of internal strength. In order to treat him, the family visited famous doctors and sent him to live with his grandparents in the south for several years, but he barely survived."

Su Xiaoxiao was thoughtful: "Is that so."

Su Li turned sideways and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with one hand on her head: "Now you understand why my fourth brother concentrates on studying, he only has the way of being a civil servant."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, it's a pity that the chief of the secret service doesn't know martial arts.

Su Li raised her eyebrows and said, "So why don't you think about asking me to protect your friend? I'll charge you one thousand taels for a brother and sister relationship!"

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Su Xuan wore a cloak, turned off the lights and left the house.

He came to the small pond in the back hill of Hou Mansion.

The water surface of the pond is covered with thick ice, which reflects the cold and clear light under the moonlight.

Suddenly, a flying pigeon landed on his arm.

He took the note and let the pigeon fly.

After reading the contents of the note, a cold light suddenly flashed in his quiet and moist eyes: "Nanjiang!"

He waved and clapped his hands.

The night is like water, and everything is silent.

He turned around and disappeared into the night expressionlessly.

Behind him, the ice of the pond creaked open.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thick layer of ice continued to break open, and cracks meandered across the entire ice surface in an instant.

Finally, with a bang, the entire ice layer exploded, and the water in the pond rushed high into the sky, rushing out of the terrifying water curtain like a waterfall.

Can I ask for a ticket for my fourth cousin?
