Part-time female officer of the rebirth spiritualist

Chapter 638 Reversal of the flames of fire (2)
"Really? Yunyun, you have a heart."

It was the first time Hou Peizhen heard about this, knowing that Zhao Yun was not a liar, she gave her a grateful glance, and felt much more at ease.Although the military spiritual masters of the imperial court will also look after Gu Hou Zhenhai, but in a critical moment, who can take care of whom?Zhao Yun's two senior brothers are different, in view of Zhao Yun's face, no matter what, they will be more dedicated than outsiders.

"What is sister-in-law talking about? We are all one family." Zhao Yun smiled and shook her head. The elders of the Hou family are all kind people, and Hou Peizhen's three older brothers are also very kind to her family.She didn't look down on them because both of their parents died and their family background was shallow. Instead, she took care of the three of them as her own juniors. These were enough for her to treat each other sincerely.

Hou Peizhen was not a coy person, so she smiled and said, "I was wrong. However, my sister is so caring, so my sister-in-law can't be silent. Come on, this is your favorite food." After finishing speaking, she smiled I picked up Zhao Yun's favorite three delicacies fried dumplings.

"Second Uncle, look how stingy my sister-in-law is. She wants to get rid of me with just one fried dumpling." Zhao Yun stared, puffed her cheeks, and turned her head to complain to Qin Shouyi.

Qin Shou chuckled and didn't speak.Hou Peizhen knew she was joking, so she wasn't angry. She put a few more fried dumplings into her bowl with a smile, and said hurriedly, "How can I send you away with just one fried dumpling? Look, there are so many. My sister sees enough. If If it’s not enough, I can ask the kitchen to make another plate for you and serve it up.”

"puff."

Ye Qiu and Hou Peizhen's eldest maid lowered their heads and held back their laughter. Zhao Yun's eyebrows moved, but she couldn't hold back anymore. She looked at Hou Peizhen and laughed out loud.

After dinner, it was completely dark.After sitting in the flower hall for a while and chatting about the household chores, Qin Shouyi returned to his yard.Hou Peizhen and Zhao Yun also went back to their houses, washed up and turned off the lights to rest.

For the next half month, the life of the Zhao family was very normal.

Zhao Yun went to Shanglinyuan to report on time every day, and was vigilant against Yu Wenji in private, but found that the other party hadn't moved for a long time, so she could only stand still.The mansion is free, and Hou Peizhen can easily run the house.He didn't let go of his martial arts skills, and would go to the newly packed martial arts field to practice every morning.Qin Shouyi went out every day to play chess and drink tea with his friends, and the days were very leisurely.

It's just that this kind of leisure was quickly broken.

The army of the Li State attacked Xuanfu and Qiongzhou, and then divided into three groups, drove straight in, and went all the way north to Fuzhou, Cangzhou, and Yongnan.Now, all the southern provinces fell into the hands of the enemy, and the flames of war spread to the hinterland of Jin Kingdom.Fuzhou and Cangzhou are fine, but Yongnan is located in the Nanjiang Plain, which is rich in grain and is one of the big granaries of Jin Kingdom.Most of the army's food and grass were dispatched from here. Once it was captured by the enemy, the situation would be dire.

Only Annan Province is still under the control of Hou Zhenhai, but the situation is very unfavorable to them.Jianghai, Xuanfu, and Qiongzhou, which are adjacent to Annan Province, were all captured by the enemy, and the south was directly bordered by the Li Kingdom, so the army was completely surrounded by the enemy.The situation is completely reversed from the previous Jianghai enemy forces.

Hearing such bad news, Zhao Yun and the members of the Hou family couldn't sit still.

Beijing's five-way army did not dare to move at all, and the imperial court was short of troops, so they had to issue a list to recruit young men from the people to join the army. After a few days of training, they hurriedly went to the battlefield.But if the people of the Li country were so easily defeated, the situation would not be like this now.The enemy was still attacking fiercely towards the north. Wherever they passed, gunpowder smoke filled the air and blood flowed like rivers.

Under such circumstances, the army of Annan Province can only break through on its own and fight a bloody road, and the imperial court has no spare power to rescue them!
"How could this be? The front is still fine, why did it change in a blink of an eye..." After hearing the news brought back by Zhao Yun, Hou Peizhen sat back on the chair weakly, pulled the handkerchief, with an expression of disbelief.

Zhao Yun smiled wryly, she did not expect the situation to change so quickly.The army recaptured Annan from the enemy, thinking that their reinforcements had no way of entering and victory was in sight.Who knew that everything before was just a smoke bomb released by the other party, and the real reinforcements came from the sea and landed directly in Jianghai.When everyone's attention was on Annan, the enemy's large forces had quietly bypassed the line of defense and completed the layout!

Now that they are attacking together, the flames of flames will start a prairie fire, and the state of Jin has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.The people in the capital were in an uproar, followed by fear and uneasiness.The old man recalled the war 30 years ago, and it seemed that it was not as fierce as this time.

"Yunyun, I have to go back to the General's Mansion." Hou Peizhen regained her strength, thinking of the old lady in the General's Mansion, and felt worried.

Zhao Yun nodded, stood up and said, "I'll go back with you."

"Alright." Hou Peizhen thought for a while, agreed, and ordered the servants to prepare the carriage, changed into some clothes for going out, and went to the General's Mansion with Zhao Yun.

Hou Peizhen's three elder brothers were all there at that time, and the general's wife had red eyes and a bad complexion, obviously she had just cried.

"Mother." Hou Peizhen called the general's wife, walked up to her in two or three steps, held her hand, but couldn't say any words of comfort for a while.She herself was also very worried, how could she persuade others.

Seeing this, the general's wife put her arms around Hou Peizhen and called out "Zhen'er." The tears that had been stopped before rolled out again.Thinking of Hou Zhenhai's situation, Hou Peizhen's eyes filled with moisture.For some reason, she always had a bad premonition in her heart.

The mother and younger sister were like this, the three brothers of the Hou family ignored Zhao Yun and frantically tried to persuade her.After a while, the mother and daughter regained their composure.The general's wife raised her head to see Zhao Yun, she quickly wiped away her tears, and greeted, "Young girl Yun, sit down quickly, it's all my fault, don't be offended if you neglect me."

"No. I know that my aunt is worried about my uncle. The news is that Annan Province is besieged by the enemy, and the two sides have not fought. I think the enemy wants to wait for the army to run out of food and grass before attacking. Uncle must be safe right now." It's nothing. Auntie, don't worry too much, it's important to take care of yourself."

"Why don't I know this. But after hearing the news, I feel uneasy. It seems that something bad is about to happen." The general's wife pursed her lips, and the worry in her eyes remained undiminished.

Hou Peizhen's heart skipped a beat, and she squeezed her mother's hand tightly. Both she and her mother had a bad feeling. Could it be the worst outcome in the end?Looking at her mother, then at her three elder brothers, she bit her lip and finally looked at Zhao Yun.

The imperial court can't count on it at all, and the only one who has the ability to save people now is her sister-in-law.But such a request was too strong, and Hou Peizhen couldn't speak at all.
