After dinner, under the dim winter sun, Fu Xiaoguan wrote three letters.
One letter was to Chunxiu, who was now in charge of all the businesses in Xishan.
He asked Chunxiu to immediately send all the flintlock rifles and 150,000 pieces of ammunition from the Weapons Bureau to the Eastern Border Army via Xishan Express and hand them over to Peng Yuyan.
The second letter was to Bai Yulian. In it, he explained in detail the current situation facing the Yu Dynasty and said that His Majesty had allowed the Divine Sword Army to expand to 30,000. He hoped that Bai Yulian could recruit 30,000 people as soon as possible and shorten the training time as much as possible because time waits for no one.
The third letter was to Chen Po, who was now the commander of the First Brigade and was in charge of the 5,000-strong Divine Sword Special Forces stationed in Pingling and Quyi counties.
Of course, there are more than a thousand new recruits here.
He ordered Chen Po to lead 5,000 troops and sufficient ammunition and weapons to the border town and enter the Qishan Corridor that day. On the one hand, he could train the new recruits, and on the other hand, he attached great importance to possible changes in the Wu Dynasty.
If Queen Mother Xi really took control of the Wu Dynasty and brought war to the Yu Dynasty, he would feel very guilty. After all, the throne of the Wu Dynasty was once right in front of him, but he did not cherish it.
Touching the imperial seal still in his sleeve pocket, Fu Xiaoguan sighed.
After sending the three letters, Fu Xiaoguan took Su Jue out and headed towards Xu's mansion.
…
…
Standing at the gate of Xu's house, Fu Xiaoguan looked at the snow-covered streets, then looked up at the tall walls, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
The text on the tombstone of mother Xu Yunqing was obviously fabricated in order to cover up the truth between Xu Yunqing and Emperor Wen.
The fat old man was really talented. He actually said that it was the winter of the 43rd year of Taihe, when the ground was covered with snow. That night, the wind was as strong as a knife. Yunqing climbed over the wall and walked out. Yunqing and I walked forward side by side. Yunqing looked back and saw that the Xu Mansion was getting distant, and her clothes were wet with tears.
This wall is so damn high, and Xu Yunqing doesn’t know any martial arts, so how can she climb over it?
Fu Xiaoguan smiled silently, shook his head, walked up and knocked on the door of Xu's mansion.
It had been over a year since he arrived in Shangjing, and this was his first time at the Xu Mansion. Thinking that this was Xu Yunqing's former home, and that his grandfather had resigned his official position because of Xu Yunqing's case and devoted himself to Buddhism at home, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He had once believed the inscription on the tombstone was genuine, and naturally found it difficult to forgive the Xu Mansion's actions. But now that he knew it was fake, he remembered what his uncle Xu Huaishu had once said to him: that his grandfather was old, never leaving his house, devoted to Buddhism, and he wanted to see him.
There are so many things to do when I return to Jinling... This is actually just an excuse. Now that it's about Tong Yan's matter, don't I have time to come?
He came in a more casual manner. It was his first visit and he came empty-handed, which seemed a bit unkind.
Just when he was thinking about whether he should go buy some gifts, the door of the Xu Mansion creaked open.
The one who opened the door was Xu Huaishu!
The two of them stared at each other through the door!
Xu Huaishu had reported Fu Xiaoguan to the imperial court two days ago because the envoys from the Yi Kingdom had come to the Ministry of Rites and asked for an explanation. However, as a dignified Minister of Rites, he was unable to give them an explanation.
When Fu Xiaoguan caused trouble in the Ministry of Rites that day, it was no joke!
Xu Huaishu knew his nephew's temperament well, and he knew he was reliable when it came to matters of right and wrong. But he was timid, fearing the envoys would make a scene in the Chengtian Palace. If he filed a complaint before the emperor, Fu Xiaoguan, as the emperor's son-in-law, would be perfectly safe. However, as the Minister of Rites and the deputy envoy for these negotiations, he bore unshirkable responsibility.
He didn't know that Fu Xiaoguan had reached a consensus with His Majesty. He was worried that he would be punished by His Majesty by accident, so he reported Fu Xiaoguan in order to save himself.
At this moment, Fu Xiaoguan came to my house. I had invited him many times before, but he never came. But he came today. It must be something bad. Could it be that His Majesty punished him and he came to ask for punishment?
Xu Huaishu was a little intimidated by his nephew. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Fu Xiaoguan was also stunned. Didn’t you invite me to the Xu Mansion?
Am I not here?
What's the point of talking through the crack in the door?
"Can't I come here and take a look if I'm alright?"
The tone was unfriendly, and Xu Huaishu's heart skipped a beat. This kid was really here to cause trouble!
"The winter sun is beautiful. I think you should go to the Lanting Collection and write a poem. Perhaps it will be mentioned on a thousand tablets."
Fu Xiaoguan glared. What kind of crazy idea is this? I'm going to Lantingji to write poetry for no reason. Isn't this crazy?
Xu Huaishu saw that things were indeed not going well. He decisively closed the door and left a message: "I have checked the almanac today and it is not suitable for me to see guests. Please go back, my lord."
This uncle might have a brain disease!
Fu Xiaoguan can't go back, he has to quickly resolve Tong Yan's identity issue.
So he looked at the high wall and thought, fortunately, he knows martial arts.
He used the Tiyunzong technique and jumped onto the top of the wall in two steps. Su Jue was still sitting in the carriage, watching Fu Xiaoguan flip over, and thought that his junior brother's kung fu could only be used in places like this.
Xu Huaishu bolted the door and was about to walk in when Fu Xiaoguan rolled over and landed behind him.
Fu Xiaoguan's third-rate martial arts couldn't achieve a silent landing, so there was a "puff!" sound. Xu Huaishu looked back...
Oh shit!
He took three steps back, but this kid refused to give up and was determined to kill him!
"Don't come over here! If you come over here, I'll call the police!"
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned. Do I look like a robber?
With my fortune as Fu, I wouldn't even bother to take this shabby house of yours even if you gave it to me!
"Why are you so nervous? Can you please talk properly?"
"What exactly do you want to do? I had no choice but to report you that day. Do you really want me to apologize for you?"
Fu Xiaoguan was immediately happy. It was indeed his uncle's good work.
Of course, this matter had no impact on him, but at this moment he had an idea.
"I'm telling you, it's not as simple as just being there for someone!"
"What do you want?"
Fu Xiaoguan suddenly smiled, "Uncle..."
Xu Huaishu was shocked. What? He called me uncle?
This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If he's being so attentive for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief. He must be plotting something!
"Mo Lai, you haven't called me uncle for such a long time. I almost forgot that I am your uncle. You'd better go back quickly. I have to go to court later."
"If you weren't my uncle, then you'd report me to His Majesty. Humph, you probably don't know how petty I am. Tell me, if I demolished your Xu Mansion, would His Majesty blame me?"
"You dare!"
Before Xu Huaishu finished speaking, Fu Xiaoguan flew to the side of the pavilion and kicked it down. The pillar... didn't break, but Xu Huaishu was startled.
"Stop, stop, stop. Tell me, what's going on?"
"I'm here to tell you the good news. I found your daughter!"
Xu Huaishu: “……???”
