Chapter 174 End

Xu Shiqiu understood that since his brother-in-law sent such a message, this matter was no longer as simple as the Holy Majesty's abdication.

His Majesty's abdication, it sounds like His Majesty felt that he was old and too old to bear the burden of political affairs, but for the princes and courtiers below, it was a change of power.

In this power change, it is unknown how many people will be involved.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu sighed and murmured: "But this time, everyone in the world knows that it is difficult, but everyone will rush on it regardless of their own safety." Letter, "Perhaps by taking advantage of this matter, find an opportunity to send them away from Beijing?"

As soon as this idea popped into Xu Shiqiu's mind, he quickly suppressed it.

At this time, if he really did this, not to mention what others think of him, even his brother-in-law might feel that he is looking for a way out.

After thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu then figured out that the next thing he can do is to do his best to help his brother-in-law sit on the throne.

And he also understands in his heart that if his brother-in-law really succeeds in ascending the throne, if the Holy Majesty is really in poor health, it would be fine if he doesn't care about political affairs at all, but if he will still meddle in political affairs...

At that time, my brother-in-law's throne might not be secure.

But the temptation of the throne is really too great, it is impossible for brother-in-law to give up.

What's more, if his brother-in-law hadn't ascended to the throne in the end, it's really uncertain whether his Xu family can survive.

In the previous incidents, their Xu family and the third prince had already reached a point where they could not die, so this time, their Xu family could only advance, not retreat.

It didn't take long for Xu Shiqiu to think about these things in his mind. He destroyed one of the two letters and put the other away before calling the four guards.

Now Xu Shiqiu's personal guards are Ye Shuo, Xu Yanhao, Xu Jie, and Zhang Ping. Although Liu Ze is not bad, but he still spent a lot of time studying before, and now Xu Shiqiu arranges logistics matters, which can be regarded as Xu Shiqiu One of his confidantes.

Seeing the four of them, Xu Shiqiu signaled Xu Jie and Zhang Ping to guard the door, and then told the four of them the letter Ye Jingxing had sent him.

Of course, the most important ones were Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao. Xu Jie and Zhang Ping were assigned to guard the gate because they were both confidantes, so they could just listen to them.

Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao immediately looked at each other after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words.

Then, Ye Shuo, who was still more lively, said first: "General, do we want to return to Beijing as soon as possible?" His father was afraid that he was going to compete for the throne, so he definitely wanted to go back at this time.

As soon as Ye Shuo finished speaking, Xu Yanhao went on to say: "Now the affairs here are handled in the same way. If we have to sort it out in a hurry today and tomorrow, we will be able to leave the camp and return to Beijing early in the morning." Uncle is afraid that he wants to fight for the throne. Their Xu family will definitely be involved.

Xu Yanhao is older than Ye Shuo, and he is more prudent in doing things.

Although he came late, he performed very well during this time. Xu Shiqiu was also willing to promote his own nephew, because Xu Yanhao's background is not low, so he is only ranked under Ye Shuo among Xu Shiqiu's personal soldiers. .

But he is old, like Ye Shuo who is impatient to manage the affairs of the camp, he can also manage it very well.

Therefore, just as Xu Shiqiu showed his intention to return to Beijing, he gave the exact time when he could return to Beijing.

Xu Shiqiu is very satisfied with both a nephew and a nephew, Ye Shuo prefers to charge and fight outside, while Xu Yanhao is older, more stable, and better at handling affairs in the military camp.

As for Zhang Ping and Xu Jie, their identities are not as good as the two of them. Most of the soldiers in the barracks are soldiers from ordinary backgrounds. In the past, they were mostly responsible for connecting with the soldiers.

Now when Xu Shiqiu heard Xu Yanhao's words, he nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao and said, "Tomorrow Ye Shuo and Xu Jie will follow me out, Yan Hao and Zhang Ping will stay in the army to rectify military affairs. Break camp and return to Beijing early in the morning."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, the four of them immediately agreed in unison.

There were still a few hours before it would get dark today, so the four of them came out of Xu Shiqiu's tent and began to order them to leave the camp and return to Beijing.

This time when they came out to suppress the bandits, none of the soldiers died, but some were accidentally injured.

There were many minor injuries, but there were also dozens of serious injuries.

Xu Shiqiu now has 3000 people under his command, and only a few dozen are seriously injured. The casualties are really low.

It's just that this result was not what Xu Shiqiu wanted.

Fortunately, most of the seriously injured were ordinary soldiers left over from the Iron Eagle Brigade who were selected at the beginning. After suppressing the bandits this time, they also saw the difference between themselves and the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade.

The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade attacked fiercely and cooperated tacitly. Unlike them, many people panicked when they saw the opponent rushing fiercely.

It was because they panicked that so many people were injured.

Although Xu Shiqiu had already said that as long as they healed their injuries, they would still be able to return to his subordinates to serve as soldiers, but if they were still seriously injured next time, they would be eliminated.

But since they had been selected to serve under Xu Shiqiu, how could these soldiers be willing to go back.

They kept holding their breath, thinking about recovering from their injuries, and training more when they recovered.

This time they heard the news that they were going back to Beijing, and they were the most active people in this group.

Staying here, although there are military doctors to diagnose and treat, the wound is still too slow to heal. They are all anxious to go back, and quickly find a familiar doctor with excellent medical skills to treat themselves.

No matter how much money is spent, the wound must be healed as soon as possible.

Although Xu Shiqiu knew about the careful thinking of the soldiers below, he didn't say much. He was willing to give them one more chance, but it was because this was the first real battle, and some of the recruits below saw blood for the first time.

But next time, he won't be so easy to talk to.

Xu Shiqiu went to bed early tonight because he was going to meet someone the next day.

It's just that he never expected that the next day he took Ye Shuo and Xu Jie out of the military camp, and when they rushed to an inconspicuous small village, he was told that the person he was looking for had already left.

"When did he leave?"

Xu Shiqiu frowned and looked at the old man in front of him. They clearly made an appointment to return to Beijing together in a few days. Why did he return to Beijing in such a hurry?
"It was the evening before yesterday, after receiving a letter, I hurriedly packed up two pieces of clothes and left." The old man frowned after thinking about it, "Looking at the young master's expression, I should be very happy." Important things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left overnight."

Hearing what the old man said, Xu Shiqiu nodded. Although he still couldn't figure it out, he didn't continue to ask.

After meeting Yan Ye in Datong, he had a different guess about Yan Ye's identity.

Before, he just thought that Yan Ye's identity was not simple, and that he might have other purposes for being close to his family, but what he experienced in Datong made him feel that this Yan Ye had no malice towards their Xu family.

He even faintly felt that Yan Ye was flattering him a little bit.

The proposal to go back to Beijing together was also proposed by Yan Ye, but he didn't expect that he would leave without saying goodbye.

Unable to understand this matter for the time being, Xu Shiqiu stopped thinking about it. After bidding farewell to the old man, he led Ye Huan and Xu Jie back on horseback.

At this time, Yan Ye, who was sought by Xu Shiqiu, had already rushed to the capital on horseback.

Since the evening before yesterday when he received the letter written by Yan Zhu's dictated flower language, his heart has already flown back to the capital.

He really didn't expect that Yanzhu was pregnant with his child after just those two times.

He had never thought that he would have an heir before taking revenge, but now that he had an heir, it was his younger sister Yanzhu who he had been thinking about for so many years, so he naturally wanted to protect them well.

Thinking of what Huayu said in the letter, Yan Ye also quickly thought about how to negotiate with Jiang Han after seeing him.

If it is really impossible at that time, Yanzhu can only be sent out of Beijing, and he will send more people to protect him.

What he was about to do was really dangerous. Although the Xu family's influence in the capital was not weak, he was unwilling to leave such a big handle in the capital.

If that person finds out that he is still alive and has an heir, and that he is still in the womb of a girl from the Xu family, the Xu family may not be safe at that time.

Thoughts raced in Yan Ye's mind, and then he thought of the agreement he had made with Xu Shiqiu some time ago.

Thinking that if he found out that his niece had fallen into such a situation that he had caused, would he be on guard against himself again?

At that time, will his identity not be able to be concealed?
Yan Ye thought a lot, and finally he had to sigh. Now he also understood that he and Yanzhu were too reckless back then.

Even if she couldn't restrain herself, she shouldn't have done such a thing when Yan Zhu was still the young wife of the Jiang family.

Thinking of Jiang Han from the Jiang family, Yan Ye thought of what he had inquired about Jiang Han before.

Thinking of this, Yan Ye estimated in his mind when he would return to Beijing, and then decided to go to a place before returning to Beijing.

Xu Shiqiu didn't know that Yan Ye who was missed by him was the man who made his eldest niece pregnant but didn't know the details yet.

Dong Shu's letter is simple, only mentioning that Xu Yanzhu is pregnant, but the child's biological father is not Jiang Han, and now Jiang Han is willing to let Xu Yanzhu leave because he wants to benefit, and needs him to go back to discuss these matters.

After going out for a while and returning, Xu Shiqiu was packing his luggage while thinking about the strange men Xu Yanzhu had met in early August.

In the end, Xu Shiqiu thought for a long time before he figured out that Xu Yanzhu was staying at the Xu family during that time.

"In other words, this child belongs to the Xu family." Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu closed his eyes.

Although there are not many males in their Xu family, there are quite a few adult men living in his house.

"Who could it be?" Xu Shiqiu thought for a moment and still had no idea, then opened his eyes and continued to pack his luggage.

Thinking of what the little lady said in the letter that the man would also have an interview with Jiang Han at that time, Xu Shiqiu decided to put the matter aside for the time being and ask Yan Zhu slowly after returning to Beijing.

Only thinking of Xu Yanzhu's current situation, Xu Shiqiu said angrily: "At that time, this person must be taught a lesson!"

No one heard Xu Shiqiu's words, but he made up his mind not to let this person go.

Because he was going back to Beijing tomorrow, Xu Shiqiu went out today to buy some things that were not available in the capital, so that they could be given to Mrs. Xu, Dong Shu and Yuan Xi each.

This time he went out to suppress the bandits, and he got a good harvest. Apart from turning over to the treasury and distributing to the soldiers below, as the chief general, he naturally also got a share.

Xu Shiqiu was originally in a good mood because of these trophies, but when he thought of Xu Yanzhu and the Holy Majesty's abdication, Xu Shiqiu lost his good mood.

Xu Shiqiu was in a bad mood, and the four personal guards lost the joy of coming to Datong when they had the news about the Holy Majesty's abdication that Xu Shiqiu had said before.

The four of them all understood that after they returned to Beijing this time, the capital would not be stable for long.

The weather in Beijing is about to change.
