lucky star girl

Chapter 202 Escape
Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu beside her with red eyes, although she knew in her heart that as a general, Xianggong couldn't avoid such things.

But seeing that winter has already entered, and the new year is coming soon, but now he has to go out, and the return date is still uncertain, how can she feel relieved.

The more she thought about it, the more sad Dong Shu felt. Her eyes, which were originally red, finally shed tears.

Seeing Dong Shu's tears, Xu Shiqiu, who was originally reluctant to let go, sighed, looked at her and explained: "Although the return date is uncertain, I will definitely come back as soon as possible, and I can always come back before the year."

Xu Shiqiu also wondered why Emperor Ruikang arranged for him to go out of Beijing at this time, but since the emperor had an order, he could only lead his troops out once.

And Xu Shiqiu also felt that although it was unclear when he would be able to return to this mission, Emperor Ruikang would definitely not let him be unable to return years ago.

After all, if he wants to go out, he must bring Xu Yanhao and Ye Shuo with him.

Of these two juniors, one is King Duan's grandson and the other is his grandson, and Ye Shuo is also the son of Ye Jingxing who will be passed on to the throne by him.

At the end of the year, these two juniors must be there.

That's why Xu Shiqiu was sure that he would be able to come back years ago.

But even though Xu Shiqiu said so, Dong Shu was still worried.

"I heard mother said that it's not easy to march in winter, and you still have to go to the north this time, it's colder there." Speaking of this, Dong Shu suddenly got up and walked quickly towards the wardrobe. Shu still didn't forget to say: "All the good fur at home made winter clothes for Yuan Xi and me. You said that you don't need thick fur for daily training. What can you do if you don't have thick fur when you go back to the north?"

Hearing the little lady's eager and worried words, Xu Shiqiu held back a smile, got up and followed her to the closet, "I have two thick cloaks, enough to wear." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu finally pulled Dong After holding her hand in the palm of her hand, she said: "Besides, this time we are going to the north, where there are a lot of thick furs. Maybe I can bring you some good furs back."

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she hurriedly broke free from his hand, opened the closet, and after confirming that Xu Shiqiu had two thick fur coats and two slightly thinner but still thick short jackets, she loosened them. in one breath.

Seeing that the little lady was reluctant to give up on herself, but still worried that she would get cold when she went out, Xu Shiqiu felt his heart soften, and regardless of Dong Shu's busy figure, he directly pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

"Miss, I am actually reluctant to leave the capital at this time. But I am a military commander. This time there is a change in the frontier. The reason why the Holy Majesty can send me is also the reason why he values ​​me."

After all, Emperor Ruikang used to send King Duan or ask King Duan to arrange for such things.

But this time, Emperor Ruikang sent himself directly, which shows that he really planned to abdicate.

Xu Shiqiu didn't tell Dong Shu about these things, but he knew very well in his heart.

However, if this was the former Emperor Ruikang, he would not send troops out of Beijing before the New Year. He would hide the truth from the people in the capital, but only give a secret decree to the guards on the frontier, or ask Duan Wang to arrange for a confidant general to leave the capital secretly .

Because as long as this matter is told to the people in the capital, the people in the capital will worry about whether there will be a war. As a result, the people will not be able to spend the new year in a safe way.

It's just that this is strange, but Xu Shiqiu also confirmed with his brother-in-law that this time it was indeed a change in the frontier, not that Emperor Ruikang wanted to send him away.

Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu say so much, and now she was held in his arms again, and her originally nervous and agitated emotions were finally calmed down slowly.

Listening to Xianggong's heartbeat, Dong Shu thought for a while, and finally said: "I just don't want you to leave the capital, and I feel sad when I think that I won't see you for many days."

"I understand." Xu Shiqiu naturally understood the little lady's feelings for him, not only her, but also his reluctance.

The little lady only missed him alone, but after he left the capital, he missed the three members of his family.

Especially my daughter, who finally got to know him a little bit during this time, and when he left Beijing this time, and maybe came back again, she forgot about herself again.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Shiqiu felt sad for a while.

But this time, he had to leave the capital to go to the northern frontier.

It took Xu Shiqiu a long time to comfort Dong Shu. When he came to the main courtyard with Dong Shu in his arms, he saw his mother sitting on the head seat with a look of reluctance.

The difference from the little lady is that the little lady will directly express her reluctance and say it out loud. The mother's reluctance to herself is only hidden by herself in an instant, and she just tells herself to pay more attention when going out, but she doesn't say a word of reluctance. discourse.

But Xu Shiqiu could still feel his mother's reluctance for him.

Xu Shiqiu thought that he left Beijing this time to go to the frontier, and if there were still changes in the frontier, maybe he could really meet the enemy this time.

This time was different from the last time I went to Datong to destroy the horse bandits. After all, the horse bandits belonged to them, and no matter how fierce the horse bandits were, they were no match for the foreign enemies in the north.

But when he thought that his father had gradually become the Great General of Zhen Guo and was given the name Xu Zhenbei from the north by relying on his military exploits, Xu Shiqiu felt that he had to go to the north.

If the Xu family wants to return to their former glory, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on his father's shadow.

He must revive their Xu family's reputation as a general!
"Mother, after I leave home, I will ask third brother Xu Jun to come to the city often to visit. If there is anything, he will arrange for someone to take you away."

Xu Shiqiu thought about the hint given by Empress Hu before, and didn't know when Ye Jingche would choose to do it.

So these things, but he has to arrange in advance.

The old lady Xu understood what Xu Shiqiu meant when she heard what Xu Shiqiu said. Thinking that he had to worry about these things at home when he went out, the old lady Xu looked at him hurriedly and shook her head: "You don't have to worry about your home when you go out. I still have my vigilance. If there is really danger, mother will have a way to leave the capital."

Xu Shiqiu always felt that his mother still had some contacts that he didn't know about, but he didn't ask if his mother didn't talk about it before.

Unexpectedly, today his mother said it before he was about to leave the capital.

Xu Shiqiu didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, but Dong Shu noticed something was wrong from the conversation between her mother-in-law and her husband.

"Mother, is it so dangerous for my husband to go out this time?" Dong Shu looked at the old lady Xu, and her emotions, which had been comforted by Xu Shiqiu, became tense again.

Mrs. Xu also forgot that her not-so-intelligent daughter-in-law was still there. Thinking of her straightforward nature, Mrs. Xu thought about it, and finally looked at her and said, "It's not that Shi Qiu is in danger when going out, but that we It is dangerous to stay in Beijing. You know that the Holy Majesty will abdicate at the end of the year. This kind of thing has never happened before. Because it is the first time, we don't know what will happen, so it is always right to make more preparations. .”

When Dong Shu heard Mrs. Xu's words, she immediately felt that it made sense.

This time, the husband said that he could come back years ago, but in case he couldn't make it back due to the heavy snow on the road, only the female relatives would be left in their family. In this way, it is really necessary to prepare more.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu looked at the old lady Xu above and said, "Then I'll prepare some more snacks that can be stored. If there are any, let's bring a thick dress and put some snacks on it." Can leave Beijing."

As for things like silver, at that time, put a few silver tickets on the inside of the winter coat, and bring some scattered silver coins.

As long as you save your life, you can't get cold or hungry, and the family can always live together.

Neither the old lady Xu nor Xu Shiqiu thought that Dong Shu was not only not afraid, but also said such words.

After the mother and son looked at each other, they both suppressed the emotions in each other's eyes, nodded to Dong Shu, and praised her for being thoughtful.

Hearing the praise from her mother-in-law and husband-in-law, Dong Shu couldn't help but continued with a smile: "Then I'll ask Dr. Du to prepare some commonly used pills. I think it will be more comprehensive."

Seeing that Dong Shu was really thinking about this matter seriously, and didn't worry about running for her life because she might encounter danger, Xu Shiqiu didn't know whether to laugh at her big heart or be happy because she was big hearted.

If it was any other woman, she would be very worried when she heard these things, how could she think about what to prepare so that she would be more thoughtful when fleeing for her life.

Because of Dong Shu's reaction, Xu Shiqiu's worries about leaving home were somewhat dispelled.

Xu Shiqiu thought in his heart, if he really couldn't make it back by then, and Ye Jingche really won, then the Xu family really needed to run for their lives.

His little lady will definitely protect Yuan Xi, take his mother, pack snacks and pills, find a place to hide, and wait for him to come back and find them.

Although the possibility of fleeing for his life is very small, Xu Shiqiu still feels that he is really lucky to be able to marry Dong Shu.

Because of this matter, even after Xu Shiqiu left Beijing, Dong Shu would not have nothing to do.

She knew that this matter should not be fanfare, so when Xu Jun came to the door for the first time, she told him that after he returned home, he asked his wife to prepare two sets of ordinary linen winter clothes for her, mother-in-law and Yuan Xi.

"What are you preparing for?"

Xu Jun was surprised when he heard Dong Shu's words, because their family and the Xu family were connected, and their family didn't wear such winter clothes.

"Before Xianggong left Beijing, he said that there might be danger at the end of the year, and that you would arrange for someone to pick us up. I thought, we'd better prepare a few more sets of clothes, especially the clothes of ordinary people. Really want By then, these little things will definitely be something to pay attention to.”

Dong Shu looked at Xu Jun's seriousness, but Xu Jun didn't know what to say.

He had to say that Dong Shu was right, but the possibility of this was very small, and according to Xu Shiqiu's intention, if they really wanted to leave the capital, they would break up and go together. They must go with Dong Shu and the others.

The most important thing is that their plan is to go all the way east from the capital, and then go directly to sea by boat.

Moreover, these things, they are all ready.

It's just that Xu Jun knew that he couldn't tell Dong Shu so directly, so he could only accept her explanation, and promised again and again that Xu Shiqiu had already arranged everything before leaving Beijing.

Listening to Xu Jun's words, Dong Shu immediately showed a smile.

"I knew it, Mr. Xiang is the most powerful!"

Hearing what Dong Shu said, Xu Jun could only keep nodding his head. At the same time, he also prayed in his heart that Xu Shiqiu would come back quickly. He thought that as long as he was around, the family would feel at ease.
