After the Xu family received the high-profile imperial decree, Xu Renwei politely sent away the eunuch who passed the decree, sealed a generous reward, and then dragged Xu Jingxuan to the study room and closed the door.

"Xuan'er, how could this be?"

Being questioned suddenly by his father, Xu Jingxuan was a little dazed, and said: "Father, I don't know, probably it was arranged by Prince Hong." Except for Xiao Shihong, he couldn't think of other reasons.

Xu Renwei was frowning and paced the room repeatedly, as if the sky was about to fall.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Jingxuan stopped his father's anxiety and asked, "Father, what's the matter? It's not enough to escort the food and grass, maybe it's just the logistics of the march, and there is no need to charge into battle."

Xu Renwei didn't take it seriously, and held his son's hand tightly, with a strange expression, and said nervously, "Xuan'er, you said the emperor treats you, don't you..."

Xu Renwei stopped suddenly, changed the tone of the conversation, and muttered: "Xuan'er, you have grown up now, seeing how you were when you left home last year, I think you have absorbed the power in your mother's hands...

Xu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why his father mentioned this. Judging from his father's words, it was clear what happened when he became a mother, but he was not sure.

Seeing the silence of his son-in-law, Xu Renwei couldn't help sighing anxiously: "Xuan'er, in your eyes, is your father the kind of person who covets his wife's family, power and money? Your mother is not an ordinary boudoir woman, she is a bereaved noblewoman in charge of power. How can I not be clear about the main wife I am asking to marry? Besides, your mother never concealed this from me..."

Xu Jingxuan was shocked. He always thought that his father and mother were not loving...

"How much energy and energy your mother spent to ensure your safe birth back then. Although I don't know the details, I can see that she was physically and mentally exhausted. Before you gave birth, she smiled and said several times, it's okay for you to be stupid all your life. It doesn't matter, if you want to be safe, you can only follow your father to follow the text, and you must not join the army. The emperor promised her, why is it suddenly backtracking..."

Xu Renwei was full of panic, he was not afraid of his son-in-law going to the army, he was just afraid that the man would be murderous towards Xu Jingxuan.

"But why did father let me enter the palace back then?" Xu Jingxuan looked at his father suspiciously.

Xu Renwei let out a long sigh, as if he had aged a few years in an instant, and said: "Xuan'er, at that time, the court situation, the East Palace was stable, the eldest prince was powerful, the seventh prince and the eighth prince were just the bastards of a concubine, and the seventh prince was still a good-for-nothing. The prince looks like a mediocre and incompetent person. I thought that after the prince's registration, they would be an idle prince. If one day they become the king, you make friends with them. With the power and money your mother gave you, you will definitely Stay away from the wind and waves... It's a pity, people are not as good as God..."

How could he have expected that his son-in-law would one day use his power to support the Seventh Prince in seizing the emperor!

"Xuan'er, I'm sorry for your mother!"

In the end, Xu Renwei sat in the study slumped, feeling that his official career had been smooth all his life, but at this moment he felt powerless.

Xu Jingxuan smiled sadly. He really wanted to tell Xu Renwei that the son you were thinking about had already been beaten to death by you in a fit of anger, and what now occupies your son's body is just a soul from another world, oh no, it is the orphan of your wife's family The reincarnation of the soul comes for revenge.

He didn't want to be involved in these old events, love and hatred; however, fate was not what he wanted.

No wonder his life was on the line when he jumped into the lake, and the reborn soul said calmly: Fate will guide him...

After thinking about this, Xu Jingxuan was relieved, and smiled at his father: "Father, since the imperial decree has been issued, the child will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate to do so. Maybe in the coming year, the child will achieve military merits, return to his hometown with rich clothes, and glorify the Xu family."

Xu Renwei raised his head dumbly and looked at his son-in-law who was smiling brightly, the haze in his heart dissipated slightly, and sighed, he couldn't hold back his son?

Xu Renwei stood up, spread the good rice paper, wrote carefully on the desk for a while, dried the ink, rolled it up, and solemnly handed it to Xu Jingxuan, saying: "Xuan'er, these names are for the father. In the past few years, you have met the civil servants and military generals who are trustworthy and talkable in the court, you take them away, and they may be able to help you when necessary."

Xu Jingxuan took it solemnly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Thank you father, don't worry father, I will definitely come back alive." Xu Jingxuan promised.

Xu Renwei squeezed out a smile, patted his son-in-law on the shoulder, and said, "Go and see Second Aunt Cui, she must be worried about you too."

Xu Jingxuan nodded and exited the study.

When he came to the Green Bamboo Courtyard, Xu Jingxuan was full of apprehension, but when he saw a beautiful figure in the courtyard, he felt relieved.

In the courtyard, the young girl Tingting was dressed in a thin shirt and was not afraid of the cold in the winter. She danced with a short sword, rustling in the wind. When she heard movement outside the courtyard, her expression changed, and the blade turned and stabbed straight.

I saw the young man standing gracefully, not dodging, just looking at the young girl dotingly, without paying attention to the sword light in front of him at all.

With the sword pressed against her chest, the girl saw that the boy was not moving at all, she let out a shout of annoyance, and hurriedly stopped the moves to get rid of her intentions, and hurriedly stopped the moves in a panic.

"Brother Xuan is so boring!" The girl was furious, she was thinking of the two of them having a sparring match, but she didn't know that the boy didn't give him such a chance.

"Ruoshui, your kung fu has improved." Xu Jingxuan boasted, it turns out that this boy is actually the daughter of Second Aunt Cui, Xu Ruoshui, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, is 12 years old this year.

"Hmph!" Xu Ruoshui pouted, turned his back and ignored the boy.

Xu Jingxuan took the short sword in Xu Ruoshui's hand, it was clearly the one that Xu Jingxuan took her to the hidden sword tower to pick out.

"The temper has also improved a lot!" Xu Jingxuan teased.

"Brother Xuan!" Xu Ruoshui stomped his feet, reluctant to leave, and panicked if he didn't leave.

Xu Jingxuan laughed, most of the melancholy in his heart disappeared, he stopped teasing his younger sister, took the initiative to hold Xu Ruoshui's hand, hurriedly accompanied him, and said: "My dear sister, don't be angry, my brother brought you something good .”

With that said, he took out a small and exquisite cylinder from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xu Ruoshui.

"What is it?" Xu Ruoshui's pupils were cut with autumn water, showing a light that was completely different from that of a lady.

"The sleeve sword is for your self-defense. There are ninety-nine and eighty-one shots in it, which can be fired nine times. Each time there are nine needle swords. It is very delicately made, a master's handwriting." Xu Jingxuan couldn't help showing off.

"Yeah, thank you Brother Xuan."

All of Xu Ruoshui's eyes had long been attracted by the exquisite sleeve sword, and after a little groping, he was skillfully tied to his wrist. A hidden weapon that seemed as thick as a hair moved towards Xu Jingxuan.

Xu Jingxuan smiled dotingly, and dodged a few times to avoid it.

"Ruoshui, don't be presumptuous!"

Just when Xu Ruoshui was about to strike again, a woman shouted angrily from under the eaves.

Xu Ruoshui was most afraid of his mother's kiss, so he had to give up resentfully.

"Auntie, it's okay, Sister Ruoshui is just trying a new hidden weapon." Xu Jingxuan walked into the room and came to Second Aunt Cui.

Second Aunt Cui smiled lovingly: "Look at how much you dote on her. There are not many rare things sent to her from Yunnan this year. Look at her unruly appearance. A girl's family, no Good embroidery, but these knives and swords are so rare..."

When it comes to her daughter, Second Aunt Cui loves and hates her daughter, but there is nothing she can do about it.

Xu Ruoshui came to mother's side with a playful smile, took the woman's arm, coquettishly coaxed her, and said: "Mother, my daughter has inherited your good skills, don't worry, I know how to behave, no It will humiliate the Xu family's daughter."

Aunt Cui nodded helplessly on the girl's forehead, and scolded: "It's almost the age to say goodbye, and you're still so evasive, be careful not to get married!"

"If you can't get married, you can't get married. How nice it is for your daughter to accompany your mother for the rest of your life..." Xu Ruoshui pouted, not afraid.

Xu Jingxuan on the side covered his mouth and laughed.

Xu Ruoshui was dissatisfied, and said: "Brother Xuan, you know how to laugh at me, I'm not yet married, brother Xuan, you have already reached the time to get married, when will you marry me a shy and beautiful sister-in-law? "

Xu Jingxuan was stunned when he heard this, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, Second Aunt Cui slapped off her daughter's claws, and scolded: "You nonsense girl, your elder brother Xuan is going to go to the army according to the order, a little girl, why are you thinking about this, go back and put it away!" Copy "The Female Ring" ten times!"

"No..." Xu Ruoshui wailed.

Second Aunt Cui ignored it, and led Xu Jingxuan into the house, made tea and put some snacks on the cloth, and finally got rid of the noisy people, and her ears were much quieter.

"Xuan'er, you have no official and no salary, but the Holy Majesty suddenly sent you out to fight, do you have a bottom line in your heart?"

Second Aunt Cui is a shrewd person. After receiving the imperial decree, Master Xu and Xu Jingxuan had already talked about it once. Since all the men in the family have already talked about it, she will not talk about those big reasons.She just asked, do you have a bottom line?

Xu Jingxuan drank his tea, nodded, and said, "I know."

Second Aunt Cui heard the words, smiled, and said softly: "Today's lunch, let's eat at Auntie's, I asked the small kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."

"Okay." Xu Jingxuan agreed.

During the meal, Xu Ruoshui was finally free. Before the food was served, he whispered to Xu Jingxuan, saying, "Brother Xuan, I also want to go to the army and fight against the Tibetan army."

"No!" Xu Jingxuan came into the Green Bamboo Courtyard, and refused for the first time with a heavy face.

Xu Ruoshui tilted his head indifferently, and said displeasedly, "I knew you wouldn't agree."

Xu Jingxuan lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Ruoshui, you can practice martial arts, but you can't be petty. The battlefield is not an ordinary place. You'd better stop thinking about it for brother, otherwise I will tell my aunt that you will never want to leave the house!"

"Brother Xuan, you..." Xu Ruoshui stared angrily at Xu Jingxuan with red eyes, feeling aggrieved.

Xu Jingxuan looked at it, his heart softened, and he said softly: "Ruoshui, listen to brother, don't let brother worry about you on the battlefield, okay?"

Xu Ruoshui pursed his lips, looked at the worry in his brother's eyes, and nodded obediently.

Only then did Xu Jingxuan feel relieved.

At the beginning of the meal, eating was a little depressing, but later, maybe Xu Ruoshui really figured it out, the brows were so relieved, and finally he was comfortable and happy, and the atmosphere became active.

It wasn't until sunset that Xu Jingxuan left the Green Bamboo Courtyard. After looking at the sky, Xu Jingxuan let out a long sigh, and instead of going back to his Rizhao Courtyard, he left the gate of the Xu Mansion...
