Yijia Yishi

Chapter 164 Back
In the room, Master Lu Er was talking to Mrs. Wu.

"...Your brother did a good job this time. The Huo family is the backbone of our northerners. If the Huo family is not in the way and the Liao people go north, how can we have a good life?"

Lu Shuyi sat on the chair and listened quietly with her ears open, thinking, what her father said was correct.The reason why the north has been so stable these years, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, is almost entirely dependent on the Huo family's willingness to contribute to the country and defend the territory.

The Huo family army is more important than the current Holy Majesty in the hearts of the people in the Northland.

Wu's laughter was shy, but extremely honorable: "I didn't expect him to do this. It can be seen that he is sensible, and I, as a sister, feel very relieved. When I am free tomorrow, I will return Let her mother go to see him."

Master Lu Er nodded, and said again: "However, Master Huo and the others also encountered big trouble this time. The battle went smoothly, but it snowed for more than a month outside the pass, and the road was blocked. Listen My father said that the emperor has ordered the king of Huainan to meet him, and I don’t know when he will be able to return!” He sighed: “Even if the army can endure the severe cold, it may not be able to endure hunger. I don't know what the consequences will be..."

"Tsk tsk, this is a life-threatening event..." Wu sighed.

Lu Shuyi's heart sank immediately.

If there is no food and grass, how can people live?
Or at this time, if the Liao people take advantage of the emptiness and enter again, what are the chances of Huo's army winning?
Furthermore, the people sent by the emperor to meet the Huo family turned out to be King Huainan.

The king of Huainan has always been at odds with the Huo family because of the issue of military power. Could it be that the emperor made this move because he didn't trust the Huo family in his heart and was afraid that the Huo family's achievements would be great?Or do you not trust King Huainan, and want to see if he has the intention of treason?

If the king of Huainan deliberately delayed on the road out of selfish motives, the Huo family's army might be unable to support them due to lack of food and water.If Master Huo falls, the military power will naturally fall into the hands of the authorities.At that time, even if the people in the Northland are dissatisfied and resentful about this matter, the emperor will put all the responsibility on Huainan King, and blame him for his bad performance.

In this way, the biggest beneficiary is the person in power, whether it is the emperor or the empress dowager, anyway, it will be a contest between the Liu family and the He family.

Lu Shuyi pinched Jiu Lianhuan, and her palms were covered with cold sweat.

From this point of view, Huo Tianyou is really in danger.

But in the previous life, Master Huo Hou returned with great victories, could it be that she remembered it wrong?

Lu Shuyi pinched her cheeks and thought about it again carefully, yes, she remembered correctly.

Master Huo Hou came back with a great victory, and it was her own niece that Empress Dowager He gave Huo Tiankang a marriage promise.

On the day the Huo family and the He family got married, the whole Yizhou was boiling.

She didn't remember wrongly, she definitely didn't remember wrongly.

If it develops according to the previous life, the Huo family will definitely survive the crisis.Maybe... Huo Hou Ye will reach a certain consensus with those in power, after all, Queen Mother He married a niece to their Huo family...

Lu Shuyi comforted herself like this to make herself feel at ease.

The snowflakes outside were getting bigger and bigger, and the north wind was whistling, covering the sky with paleness, and she sighed inadvertently, "I don't know when the snow will stop?"

"It will stop naturally when it's time to stop." Lu Shujing smiled softly, and then said playfully: "Wait for the snow, how about we go to build a snowman in the yard?"

I remembered when I was a child, whenever it snowed, the girls of the Lu family would run out to push snowmen, and the boys preferred to play snowball fights.

At that time, she didn't have any worries, she just knew to have fun.

Times have changed, the same scene, the same season, but the mood is very different.

"Sister, after the snow stops, are you going to build a snowman?" Seeing that Lu Shuyi was silent, Lu Shujing pushed her arm, stared at her and said, "You've been acting weird lately, so tell me, do you have something to hide from me? "The tone was stagnant, and she asked in a low voice: "Did Aunt An mess with you?"

"Don't think about it, there is nothing..."

Lu Shujing pouted: "It's fine if you don't have one. If so, I'll avenge you." Then she smiled and glared at Lu Wenjie: "And Xiao Qier, he will avenge you too."

Lu Wenjie immediately pointed at Lu Shujing and said, "Don't call me Xiao Qier, it's not big or small..."

"I called, I called, what can you do to me?"

"Do you... like to call or not..."

"..."

The bickering mode of twins begins.

Lu Shuyi could only give a wry smile, expressing that she did not want to join.

Back at Lanyue Pavilion, Lu Shuyi hurriedly called Pan'er, and told her to quietly invite Li Pingan over.

Li Pingan is now working with Wu Guanshi, and the ladies and wives in the house can ask him to buy anything if they are missing, and no one will be suspicious if they come here.

Li Pingan soon came over with Pan'er. He knew the purpose of Lu Shuyi's invitation, so he lowered his voice and said, "The second young master should be fine now, but the mountain is covered by heavy snow. The emperor has already Order Huainan King to personally lead the troops to meet him, if there are no accidents, the Second Young Master and the others should be able to return in a few days."

Can you come back?

Lu Shuyi frowned, with a worried expression on her face: "You work by the Second Young Master's side, you should also know that the King of Huainan and the Huo family are incompatible..."

Li Pingan was taken aback for a moment, and fixedly looked at Lu Shuyi.

How did she know that the Huo family and King Huainan were at odds, as a boudoir lady who didn't leave home?Could it be that someone in the mansion said it?
People in the officialdom, even if there is a quarrel, would stab each other in the back with a smile. How could others see clearly?
From this point of view, the third lady of the Lu family is not an ordinary person.

Li Pingan's face was calm as usual, and he didn't appear to be in a hurry. He only analyzed: "Since the emperor sent King Huainan to meet him, there must be his deep meaning. Of course, the sacred meaning is unpredictable, and we can't say what the specific deep meaning is. Don’t dare to jump to conclusions. Just one thing, if King Huainan really wants to harm Lord Huohou, he should first think about whether the people in the north will agree.”

Li Pingan hit the bullseye with one word.

The Huo family's prestige in the north would never allow Huainan King to harm the Huo family.

If King Huainan really did something wrong to the Huo family, I'm afraid that King Huainan would not end well.

King Huainan is not a fool, he probably wouldn't do something like killing one thousand enemies and harming himself by eight hundred...

Li Pingan smiled and looked at Lu Shuyi, and said firmly: "Don't worry, our second son will be fine."

Their second son?

When did he become the second son of their family?
What's more, Li Ping'an said so firmly, compared to his worries a few times before, he looks too calm now.

Lu Shuyi thought secretly.

It seemed that he had already got news from Huo Tianyou, or that Huo Tianyou was out of danger a long time ago, and he just kept it from her.

Lu Shuyi frowned slightly, her eyes fell on Li Ping'an, and she didn't say a word.

She neither said to let Li Pingan go, nor said to let Li Pingan stay and continue talking, but just stared at him blankly.

Li Pingan was looked at with a guilty conscience, first coughed dryly, and then smiled flatteringly: "If Miss San is fine, then I...then I'll go back first, there is still something to do in the front yard." He slipped away if he wanted to.

Lu Shuyi raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked him with a smile: "Tell me, Pan'er, do you want to marry or not?"

Li Pingan felt embarrassed when he was asked, and the seven-foot man blushed.

"It seems that you don't want to marry?"

"No, no, no, as long as the third lady is willing, I can't wait..." Li Pingan said seriously: "I and Pan'er don't have many relatives outside, and I am the closest person to her. For me, it is also a very important person who cannot be lost, and I ask the third lady to fulfill it."

Li Pingan bowed deeply.

Lu Shuyi looked at him with a bowed body, and was very happy for Pan'er in her heart.

It is really not easy to get such a confidant in this world, especially when two people are happy with each other and regard each other as the only person, it is even more rare.

It seems that Pan'er really doesn't have to worry about her future.

She smiled softly, her eyes were extremely clear: "Whether Pan'er can be handed over to you depends on whether you are loyal enough to me! Don't think that my Pan'er is so easy to promise to you... "

The corner of Li Pingan's mouth twitched, could it be that Miss San noticed something?

He secretly scolded himself for being caught by Lu Shuyi, for expressing his sincerity too quickly just now, and now he has fallen into her trap.

This third lady is really shrewd enough.

Lu Shuyi ignored his toothache expression, just smiled and raised her chin: "Tell me, have you heard about Mr. Huo?"

Li Pingan kept complaining, and the expression on his face was very playful.

"Don't tell me, right? Well, well, very well, believe it or not, tomorrow I will promise Pan'er to that Li Si in the front yard..."

In order to achieve her goal, she even started threatening people.

Lu Shuyi despised herself fiercely in her heart.

But when it's time to threaten, it's time to threaten...

She looked at Li Pingan with a smile, as if she had succeeded in a trick.

Li Pingan has a toothache, but Mr. Huo Er has issued a death order, so don't tell them that he has returned...

Hey, his mouth is showing flaws at some point.

"Don't worry, if you tell me, I will never tell. Also, after the new year, I will go to the old lady and promise you Pan'er. What do you think?" He has a pitiful face.

Li Pingan raised his hand and rubbed his face in a tangled state, before he said in annoyance: "Then let's talk about it. If I say it, you can't say it, Miss San. Also, when you see our second son, you don't want to talk about it." Don't mention today's matter, otherwise...otherwise I won't say a word, even if you don't promise me Pan'er, I won't say anything." He muttered: "Anyway, Pan'er will not marry Li Si Yes, even if she is married, I will snatch her here..."

Pan'er, this silly girl, is really lucky, and it's not in vain that she is always called Brother Ping'an.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't say a word, now you should tell me the truth, right?" Lu Shuyi promised with a smile.

Li Pingan looked into her eyes, and then said: "Actually... In fact, the second son returned to Jizhou City five days ago, and now he is in our Changle Town..."
