Chapter 640: Father Xu is back

5 min read1,317 words

Qifeng Mansion, Jingbian City.

Father Xu traveled day and night, before the news of the Queen Mother's

assassination reached this side, he had already turned back first.

The assassination of the Queen Mother will inevitably trigger another turmoil

in Datang.

Mr. Xu sits in Jingbian City, and he is also the Marquis of Wu Cheng, who has

been conferred by the court. When the news of the death of the Queen Mother

comes, it is impossible for him not to show up. If he never shows up, he might

attract the attention of some interested people.

This is also the reason why the old man Xu had to come back day and night.

"Father, you are this!"

When Mr. Xu told Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu what he had done, Mr. Xu gave his father a

thumbs up directly.

Entering the palace at night, he was found on the palace wall, and he broke

into the palace without any further advancement and killed the queen mother.

If Xu Lao Er encountered such a situation, he would definitely choose to stop

as soon as he was discovered.

Although Habayashi is not like this, if he makes a full shot in the palace, he

will definitely be judged by his body.

"This matter, as long as you know it!"

Father Xu told his two sons about this, not to show off, but to let them

understand that their family is completely opposed to the emperor and the

court.

"Father, then, shall we rebel?"

Mr. Xu looked at Mr. Xu, a little excited.

"Not in a hurry!"

Father Xu gave Boss Xu a white look, "It's not the time yet."

"Although the noble families everywhere are doing things, but until now, no

family has jumped up. Naturally, their family can't be this early bird."

Even if Datang is destined to become a thing of the past, others have to come

out first.

"By the way, Dad, Longcheng has also been a little uneasy lately!"

Boss Xu suddenly changed the subject, "King Yan sent troops several times to

try to drive the Northern Barbarian Cavalry into Longxi Mansion, but it has

not worked.

"For this period of time, the military spirit over there seems to be a little

fluctuating."

Longxi Mansion was miserable by Beiman.

Except for a few big cities, most of the county towns and villages have been

looted time and time again by the Northern Barbarians. It is not an

exaggeration to say that there are ten rooms and nine empty spaces.

Many people living in Longxi Mansion have already fled to Qifeng Mansion,

Donglin Mansion, and Xiangyi Mansion.

"What does King Yan do?"

Mr. Xu used to have a good impression of King Yan. After all, he is the prince

of the royal family and can guard the border for more than ten years. He is

worthy of the love of the people of Tang Dynasty for the country and the

people.

But last year's North Barbarian invasion, especially the battle of

Huangfengkou, King Yan was in the northwest town army camp of Longcheng, which

seemed to drag the main force of Beiman, but in the end, the army of Beiman

attacked Huangfengkou, and King Yan was late. , So that Mr. Xu had a deep

resentment towards him.

Although King Yan's explanation was that he was negligent, Mr. Xu also

approved the other party's explanation.

But this thing was like a thorn, stuck in the heart of Old Man Xu, and

couldn't take it off.

Moreover, as long as Father Xu thinks of the last battle, think of the army of

Xiangyi Mansion who died with him outside the city of Huangfengkou Pass, he

will feel like a knife.

King Yan guarded Longxi Mansion for many years, and had dealt with Beiman for

so many years.

Is he really negligent?

This matter, the more I think about it, the more it makes Mr. Xu worry about

it.

"It is possible for King Yan to encircle Wei and save Zhao and lead his army

out of the fortress!"

Boss Xu thought about the situation of King Yan, and put himself in the

perspective of King Yan. Since taking the initiative to attack the Northern

Barbarian Cavalry in Longxi Mansion, he could only lead the Northern Barbarian

Cavalry to find him for a decisive battle.

"Not enough!"

Mr. Xu listened to Mr. Xu’s words and thought for a while, “Whether it is

Cyclone Riding or Northwest Town Army, it is indeed an extraordinary combat

force. The brutal cavalry cut off the retreat."

"King Yan, won't be so stupid!"

"Father, what do you think King Yan would do?"

Boss Xu listened to Mr. Xu's analysis, and couldn't help being a little

stunned, unable to think of how King Yan could break the game.

"Hard to say."

Although Mr. Xu was certain that King Yan would not rush out of the country,

he couldn't guess what King Yan would do next.

"By the way, what's the situation with your mother?"

After talking about official business, Mr. Xu remembered to ask about family

matters.

"Mother, they were taken to Linyao by the third brother..."

Boss Xu simply talked about the situation in Lingshui Village, and his mood

was really not high.

Knowing the series of subsequent changes that took place in Lingshui Village,

both Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were a little sad. They all grew up in Lingshui

Village, and had friendships with many people in the village.

But now, everything is different.

"call……"

After listening to Mr. Xu's narration, Mr. Xu was silent for a long while, and

finally let out a long suffocating breath. Frankly speaking, the situation

became like this, which was really unexpected for Mr. Xu.

He always felt that his family was well-known in Lingshui Village.

Whether it was the severe drought last year or the years before, he had no

place to apologize to the people in the village.

But now, everything is empty.

Father Xu's mood is really not high.

"Finally, maybe, God's will be so!"

Father Xu finally sighed.

Although there was a feeling of betrayal in his heart, old man Xu didn't have

the thought of asking him to go to the people in Lingshui Village to settle

the accounts.

When they fled to Lingshui Village and settled there, their relationship is

now completely broken.

"Father, do you want to take the mother and the others to Jingbian City?"

Xu Lao Er saw that his father was not in a high mood, so he planned to find

some topics.

"Don't bother!"

Father Xu waved his hand directly, "By the way, what is the current situation

of the locust plague in Qiping Mansion? Has it spread to Xiangyi Mansion? How

much food do we have?"

"This, the locust plague is gone!"

When Mr. Xu heard Mr. Xu talk about the locust plague, he immediately talked

about the whole story with great interest.

"Father, you said, how did the youngest brain grow up?"

Boss Xu also admired Xu Laosan's actions to wipe out the locust plague by fire

attack.

Old man Xu was also dumbfounded. The locust plague was gone, and was burned

down by his third wife? Don’t those locusts know how to fly?

"Father, don't you know, the youngest dare to do it!"

"He moved the people within a hundred li, not only eliminated the locust

plague, but even the refugees from Qiping Mansion were blocked by the fire."

"This third child, he usually doesn't show any signs of dew, this shot is such

a big deal!"

Upon receiving the news of the locust disaster of Xu Lao San, both Xu and Lao

Er were stupid. They were still wondering if they would send troops to

reinforce Xiangyi Mansion and intercept the refugees in Qiping Mansion.

But who thought, Xu Laosan got everything done without waiting for them to do

anything.
