Chapter 161: Plans cannot keep up with changes

Xu Muhua carefully examined Xu Rui and was slightly relieved to see that he really took her words to heart.

As long as the eldest brother really took it to heart, he would subconsciously think of her words when he met a young woman after returning to the border, and he would be more vigilant. In this way, he would not be played around by a woman as described in the book.

Xu Rui's temperament is indeed not like someone who would do such a thing, but it is precisely because of this that the woman seems terrifying and has great means. At least she is a woman who is very good at dealing with men and knows how to control men.

Maybe she is really a professionally trained spy. If that is the case, then it makes sense.

"Brother, I think that woman is most likely a spy specially trained by someone. That's why you were deceived in the dream!"

Xu Muhua said seriously.

Xu Rui's brows were tightly wrinkled.

This possibility is not impossible. Their Xu family has been generals for generations and has been guarding the border for many years. There is no telling how many trusted soldiers they have. Once a spy infiltrates the interior and collapses from within, one can imagine what kind of serious consequences it will bring. If it

is really like what Muhua dreamed of... Xu Rui's brows are so wrinkled that they can pinch a mosquito to death! His face also became much more solemn.

"In any case, brother, you must be careful when you return to the border! It's better to be safe than sorry. If my dream is false, then it's great. You won't suffer any loss if you are more careful. But if my dream is true, brother, you can prevent these things from happening if you are more careful!"

Xu Rui came to his senses and looked at her with a smile, "Okay, okay, brother got it. Brother really cares about your dream! Don't worry, brother will be careful!"

Xu Muhua put one hand on Xu Rui's strong arm, and said earnestly: "Brother, the safety and honor of our family depends on you!"

Xu Rui was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and rubbed her head hard: "Why are you like a little old woman now!"

"Brother!"

Xu Rui repeatedly assured that he would pay attention to Xu Muhua before letting him go.

Although Xu Muhua told the matter, she still felt that it was a serious matter and could not be sloppy and could not make the slightest mistake. She still had to be prepared.

Soon she had an idea.

She felt relieved when she had an idea in her mind. She even hummed a song, thinking that if everything went well in the future, then life would be really happy.

We can't go back to the modern times. At least we have to live a comfortable life in ancient times, otherwise it would be too hard to endure!

Xu Rui found a time to ask Xu's mother about the beggar.

Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and said with a smile: "Did Mu Hua mention it to you? This girl must have been showing off to you, right? It was indeed such an incident. I thought it was over and Mu Hua was fine, so I didn't tell you about it and make you worry."

"Speaking of which, Mu Hua's dreaming problem started after she fell from the attic. I haven't heard her mention it before."

Mother Xu shook her head. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse.

Speaking of the incident of falling from the attic, Xu Rui asked, "Mom, how did Mu Hua fall from the attic? Was it an accident or..."

Xu's mother glanced at him and said, "It was probably an accident. We checked and found nothing suspicious. Mu Hua later said that she was careless."

But at the beginning, she did say that someone pushed her. It's not that she didn't have suspicions, but she had checked everything that should be checked and found nothing. This matter had to be left unresolved.

Xu's mother also said so, so Xu Rui didn't ask any more questions.

Originally, he wanted to talk about the other sister, but thinking about how he had been away from the capital for many years, he didn't get along with his two sisters much, and he couldn't say that he knew them at all. If he said something rashly, it would make him look like a dark-minded brother.

"Why, do you have something to say?"

Xu Rui put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, "No, I just thought that my father and I should go back to the border soon, and I feel a little..."

After he said this, Xu's mother immediately forgot to ask him about his abnormality and felt a little sad.

It is said to be soon, but plans often cannot keep up with changes.

The next day, General Xu received an urgent letter from the border, saying that there were unusual movements at the border... After receiving the urgent letter, General Xu went to the palace as soon as he read it, and Xu Rui had already started packing.

Even if everyone in the Chengguo Mansion was reluctant, they could only help to pack and prepare silently.

Fortunately, they had been prepared in advance and did not mess up their hands and feet. When the two of them returned to the capital, they traveled light, but now they are going back to the border, but they have packed a lot of luggage! It covers all aspects of life! Supplies, clothes, food, and drinks!

"Mom, there's no need to prepare so much. The situation is urgent. Dad and I have to hurry back. It's inconvenient to carry so much luggage!"

Xu Rui had a headache looking at the packed luggage!

Xu's mother didn't care about him, "You brought a team of people with you. Leave a few to go slowly, and some to go fast. It won't cause any trouble!"

The conditions there are so harsh. It's a rare opportunity for them to come back. How could she not prepare more?

When Xu's mother knew that they were coming back for the New Year, she asked people to prepare it early. They dried and pickled a lot of dried meat and meat jerky, which added up to hundreds of kilograms! They were all taken to the border. They could keep some for themselves to eat slowly, and the rest could be distributed to the soldiers to satisfy their gluttony.

"That's right, big brother, if you think it's troublesome, then mother and I will find someone to send it over for you!"

Xu Muhua said.

Xu Rui secretly glared at her, asking her not to make trouble at this time.

Finally, the old lady said that they had to take all the things prepared for them! Xu Rui had no choice but to accept it, feeling bitter and happy in his heart.

Xu Jiang also came back from the palace soon. Xu's mother knew the result as soon as she saw his expression. She couldn't help but blush and turned her head away. She said with a choked voice: "Everything has been packed and prepared for you."

Xu Jiang strode forward, ignoring the children who were still there, and put his hand on her shoulders: "Madam..."

In the end, thousands of words were just four words, "I'm sorry for wronging you."

When he said this, Xu's mother's eyes became more sour and her heart was full of pain, but she still tried not to show too much, and urged: "As long as you and your son take good care of yourselves, I won't be wronged! I will take good care of the family, you don't have to worry, protecting yourself is the greatest reward for us!"
