Chapter 688 Fourth brother is the boss
It was him?
It seems that Emperor Jingxuan was really on guard against them. Letting them go to southern Xinjiang alone was more worrying than going to the border to collect medicine.
Also, 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.
Who would have thought that she recruited troops at the border, Wei Ting also went into battle and made great achievements in killing 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 public, and have nothing to do with the imperial court, only go to southern Xinjiang in the name of traveling."
Southern Xinjiang does not have too many restrictions on outsiders. When you arrive at the border, go to the Yamen to pay a deposit, fill in a few official documents, and press your fingerprint to enter the customs.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "When are you leaving?"
Wei Ting said: "Tomorrow morning."
Su Xiaoxiao asked strangely: "So hurry?"
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 tremella soup: "I don't know what his intentions are."
Wei Ting paused, and said: "After eating, go to bed first, I'll go and see my father, my uncle and grandma."
He met Mr. Hou and Su Yuan today, but Su Cheng, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Tao have not met yet.
In fact, it happened suddenly, and it was understandable not to go. Her parents, uncles and grandmothers would not blame Wei Ting, but Wei Ting insisted on going, which in a way 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 received the red-tasseled gun, and looked at the two in surprise: "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "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!"
Speaking like this, 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.
Su Cheng had heard his colleagues mention the matter of the early court during the day. 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 say a word.
"Father, I'll get it." Wei Ting took the heavy red tasseled gun for him, and put it on the weapon rack beside it.
The three sat down around the stone table.
Su Cheng said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao gently pulled his sleeve: "Father."
Su Cheng said sadly: "It's all my father's fault. My father was a few years ago...work harder...don't waste my martial arts...maybe it will come in handy 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, and your chest was broken by a big stone. I know how to split bricks with bare hands."
Su Cheng choked.
Ah, how embarrassing.
For Su Xiaoxiao, her father is the best father in the world. He didn't give up his martial arts skills even after his hand was crippled. Without a master, he 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.
It is already very impressive to be able to achieve what I am today.
The two of them 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 Zhenbeihou Mansion.
Madam Su took a rest, Su Yuan, Tao Shi and several cousins also went to bed, Old Hou Ye called Wei Ting to the study, Su Xiaoxiao went to Su Xuan's yard.
"Fourth cousin, are you asleep?"
"come in."
Su Xuan said.
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door and entered, Su Xuan lit the oil lamp.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at his neat clothes, and couldn't help asking: "Are you awake?"
Heideng sat in the house blindly, what is his hobby?
The two sat down at the table.
Su Xuan poured Su Xiaoxiao a glass of warm water: "It's so late, what can I do for you?"
Su Xiaoxiao took it and took a sip: "Nanjiang came to ask Da Zhou to propose marriage, and wanted to marry a princess of Da Zhou. Did you hear about this?"
Su Xuan said: "During dinner, I heard a few words from my father."
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep look at him: "How come you said that it was such a coincidence that the storyteller was right?"
Su Xuan smiled quietly: "Yes, what a coincidence."
Su Xiaoxiao can't see any flaws, that's right, trying to find flaws in the face of the spy chief is 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. Before I leave, I want to ask my fourth cousin for a favor."
"you say."
"Take care of 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 royal princess? I'm afraid I can't even beat a guard around him."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "Fourth cousin only agrees or not?"
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 his backhand, closed his 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 yard arrogantly.
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 dogtail grass in her mouth.
This guy has been eavesdropping. The distance from here to the yard is not short. The kid has good ears.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Are you very good?"
Su Li snorted: "Among the brothers in the family, except for the elder brother, I belong to the highest martial arts! Who is wrong for you to look for, but the fourth brother, he doesn't know martial arts at all!"
But that guy has money, he 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: "That's it."
Su Li turned sideways, looked at Su Xiaoxiao with her head on one hand: "Now you understand why my fourth brother is so focused on studying, he only has the way of being a civil servant."
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, it's a pity that the spy chief 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? Brother and sister, I'll charge you one thousand taels!"
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 mountain 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 removed the note and let the pigeon fly.
After reading the contents of the note, a cold light suddenly flashed in his quiet and warm eyes: "Southern Xinjiang!"
He waved and clapped his hands.
The night is like water, and everything is silent.
He turned around and faded into the night expressionlessly.
Behind him, the ice of the pond creaked open.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thick ice layer did not break open, and the cracks meandered the entire ice surface in an instant.
With a final 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?
