"yes."
When it comes to the situation in the north, it is not optimistic.
There was a dispute among the barbarians, and the chief general was replaced by a bloodthirsty general.
"As soon as the two countries started trading, more than twenty people from the Great Qi merchant caravan were killed."
The barbarians hung the heads of innocent civilians on the city walls and exposed them to the sun for three days, intending to arouse the anger of the soldiers of the Great Qi.
The news had already arrived half a month ago, and we thought that the barbarians were just making small moves and would not amount to much, so we did not take it seriously.
Yesterday afternoon, the neighboring city lit a beacon fire to send a message.
The emperor urgently summoned several generals of the Mo family and the officials of the Ministry of War to discuss in the imperial study, and set out at dawn to fight in the north.
"Princess Yutan is ready to go and has already arrived at the Mo family."
Xie Zhao explained the situation briefly. Jiang Huaiqing could not stay any longer and turned to look at his younger sister Jiang Yuzhu. His lips trembled, as if he had a thousand words to say.
Jiang Huaiqing is never on guard against his family and always shows his thoughts on his face.
Jiang Yuzhu sighed inwardly, but smiled softly, saying, "Brother, it's just a short separation. In the past, when you went south to check the accounts, we siblings would have been separated for half a year. There's no need to be shy."
Separation is for a better reunion.
"My eldest brother is taking care of my parents, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Yuzhu's tone was firm, without any complaint.
With the support of his whole family, Jiang Huaiqing straightened his back, his spirit and energy were different. He laughed loudly and said, "Little sister, Honghong still needs your help to take care of her."
It is safer for Honghong to stay in Xie Mansion than in Jiang Family.
Jiang Yuzhu waved her hands impatiently: "Okay, then I'll put the red feather in the letter and send it a thousand miles away..."
An hour later, it was almost dawn and Jiang Huaiqing got up and left.
Jiang Yuzhu stood by the door to see him off. When she saw Jiang Huaiqing turning around, she curled her lips and waved vigorously, repeating this several times until Jiang Huaiqing disappeared from her sight.
At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu still had a smile on her face, but a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
She turned back to the study and extinguished the oil lamp and candles.
The room was plunged into darkness. Jiang Yuzhu curled up in a chair, holding Honghong in her arms, her entire face buried in Honghong's warm fur.
Jiang Yuzhu's shoulders were shaking, her eyes were blocked by mist, she wiped them casually with the back of her hand, and let out a suppressed whimper.
Even if you appear calm in front of others, you are just putting on an act.
She has always had a good relationship with her second brother, so how could she not be worried?
"Yuzhu, my second brother will be safe."
Xie Zhao felt a dull pain in his heart. He hugged Jiang Yuzhu in his arms and brushed the tears from the corners of her eyes with his warm fingertips.
Apart from saying a few pale words to comfort him, Xie Zhao's mind was blank and he was at a loss.
In his eyes, even when facing life and death, Jiang Yuzhu did not shed a single tear.
She still cares too much about her family.
Jiang Yuzhu wiped her tears with Xie Zhao's clothes, sniffed, and said softly, "If I showed my concern in front of my second brother, how could he be so carefree?"
Jiang Yuzhu would support whatever Jiang Huaiqing liked and yearned for, as long as he chose it, but support did not mean approval. She did not want to see her second brother in danger at all.
The battlefield is brutal and accidents happen frequently.
Jiang Yuzhu was far away in the capital and couldn't help at all. If she got the news, she would just be anxious.
Jiang Yuzhu was confused and fell into a huge vortex with all sorts of random thoughts.
Xie Zhao sighed helplessly. He pressed his wife into his arms, resting his forehead against her hair, and said softly, "So that's why you pretended not to care and cried behind my back?"
"Wouldn't it be unlucky if I cried in front of my second brother?"
If she couldn't help it, Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to show her weakness in front of Xie Zhao at all.
Xie Zhao looked at her without saying anything, but silently tied Jiang Yuzhu's messy hair behind her head.
Finally, I felt the soft fragrance in my arms, but it was not the time to take advantage of it.
Xie Zhao gently stroked Jiang Yuzhu's back and waited for her to calm down.
All he can do is accompany her.
After a long while, Jiang Yuzhu finally moved uneasily, her voice hoarse from crying: "I'm fine."
"Alright, you want to just go ahead and burn the bridge?"
Xie Zhao waved his arms, and his clothes had already turned into a handkerchief, catching Jiang Yuzhu's tears, ensuring that not a single drop fell to the ground.
Jiang Yuzhu turned her head away, her eyes wandering as she asked evasively, "Yuanhe, is it time for you to attend the morning court?"
Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked Jiang Yuzhu's cheek, his voice low: "I've been delayed for a long time. What can Madam do to make it up to me?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Jiang Yuzhu clearly denies it, so don't try to blame her!
Xie Zhao didn't let go, but hugged Jiang Yuzhu tighter: "Why, you don't want me to keep a secret about what happened tonight? If Madam doesn't give you any benefits, then I can only tell my second brother."
"you……"
Before he could utter the word "shameless", Xie Zhao had already bent down.
Along with a faint smile, Jiang Yuzhu only felt the warm touch on her lips, with the unique and refreshing scent of Xie Zhao.
Jiang Yuzhu was stunned, and something in her brain seemed to suddenly crack.
At the door, a figure was swaying.
Liang An had been standing there for a while, and it was almost dawn.
"Master, Madam, I'm here to ask if Honghong is still in the study?"
In the study, there are several extremely precious ancient books from previous dynasties, and they cannot be destroyed by Honghong.
Jiang Yuzhu was reminded by Liang An. Looking at the motionless goose in her arms, she found her voice after a long while: "Yuanhe, I hope Honghong will not be suffocated to death by me?"
Just now, the atmosphere in the room was very strange.
Xie Zhao hugged Jiang Yuzhu, and Jiang Yuzhu kept hugging Honghong, but Honghong did not struggle.
