The Way of Favors

???? From the northwest border to the capital, Xu Hao led his army for more than half a month before arriving near the capital.

Zhuozhou is only two hours away from the capital, but in order to meet the meritorious soldiers in time, Xu Jin had to leave one day in advance.

The man would be back after staying outside for two nights. Fu Rong had nothing to worry about, but found that Xu Jin behaved a little weird. He hugged his brother and coaxed his two daughters, watching the children’s eyes as if he It's the same to leave for a long time. But seeing him sitting between Axuan and Apei, covering his nose with her veil with one hand, and teasing his two daughters with the other, Fu Rong smiled again.

"Are there any special products in Zhuozhou? The prince remember to bring some back." After helping Xu Jin pack up a few sets of clothes to be taken with him tomorrow morning, Fu Rong returned to the bed and said next to him.

Seeing her mother, Axuan turned her big eyes and stretched out her hand to her mother. A Pei watched her brother swing the little red ball, and ignored her.

The son is getting more and more sensible, and the two daughters are beautiful and pleasant. Xu Jin is not willing to leave at all.

He hugged each other.

At night, the children were all carried away by the nurse. Fu Rong thought Xu Jin would make a fuss. He didn't expect Xu Jin to just hug her in his arms and rub his chin against her shoulders. Fu Rong felt that Xu Jin seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "Why is the prince worried?"

"I'm afraid Brother Yu, they miss me." Xu Jin said dumbly.

Fu Rong smiled, "Brother Bi will definitely miss Daddy. Axuan and Apei are still young, so I won't find someone. The prince can rest assured. Anyway, there are only two days. The prince will be back soon."

Xu Jin hugged her tightly.

He will definitely come back, this time, no matter what the sixth brother does, he will come back.

Early the next morning, Xu Jin bid farewell to his family and led a dozen guards away.

At the gate of Suwang's Mansion, Brother Ju watched his father turn around the alley, then turned and hugged his mother's thigh: "Mother, is father coming back innocently?"

Fu Rong hugged his four-year-old son, kissed his white and tender face and said, "It will definitely happen. Dad promised that he would do it. Let's go, let's go back to the house and coax the sisters. Dad won't At home, Brother Ju is the pillar of our family, do you know if you want to help your mother take care of the younger sisters?"

Ge Er nodded obediently, and quietly wiped the tears on his mother's shoulders.

Fu Rong rubbed the little guy's head.

As soon as he walked into the door, Brother Ju put on his mother's shoulders and said with a serious face: "Mother let me go down, and I will go by myself. I am older and don't need my mother to hug me.

The son was sensible, so Fu Rong put the little guy down and led him away.

The mothers sat in the room for a while, Fengyi Palace sent someone over to spread the word, and Empress Cui invited them to the palace.

The mother-in-law asked, Fu Rong smiled and helped the three little guys change their clothes and went into the palace in a carriage.

Empress Cui couldn't sit still. Xu Hao left the capital for more than half a year. The mother and child had been separated for so long for the first time. Empress Cui's heart seemed to be half gone. Especially when Cui Wan was born prematurely, her body was not strong, and she was even more disturbed. Seeing that her son was coming back, she became more and more troubled. Cui Wan went back to her natal home to recover from the illness. She could only call her eldest daughter-in-law over. When there were too many people, she wouldn't always worry about it.

"Emperor Grandmother." Brother Bi saluted Empress Cui in a decent way.

Empress Cui picked up her grandson and kissed him. Seeing Brother Yu looking on the couch, she smiled and put him on the couch and introduced him: "This is the brother of your Sixth Uncle's family. Look if Brother Yu looks like Your sixth uncle?"

Brother Yun was just awake, and with a pair of phoenix eyes curiously looked at the little brother who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Brother Bi almost couldn't remember the appearance of the sixth uncle. He didn't know if it looked like it, so he looked at his mother for help.

Fu Rong placed a pair of daughters next to Brother Yu. She looked down, and when she saw Brother Yu's phoenix eyes, she smiled: "The eyes are like, the nose and mouth are like his sixth aunt." Mentioned Cui Wan, Fu Rong turned to look at her mother-in-law, "Wan Wan is sick again?"

Empress Cui sighed: "Yes, I was afraid that I would be overwhelmed by the illness, so I sent Brother Yu, and she went back to her mother's house to raise her."

Fu Rong sighed secretly.

The young couple Cui Wan and Xu Hao got married after they got married. Fu Rong could understand Cui Wan's feelings over the past year. Last year she was pregnant with a child thinking that Xu Jin was going to the battlefield. How long did she worry about it. She cried so much that Fu Rong was surprised that the woman who couldn't bear her husband going out was really her? Then she was lucky, Xu Jin was also reborn, arranged the frontier war in advance, he didn't need to go, Cui Wan was less lucky, and endured the pain of separation for so long...

Holding Brother Yu's little hand, Fu Rong coaxed softly: "Brother Yu is not in a hurry, you can see Daddy the day after tomorrow."

Empress Cui smiled as she watched her coax the child, then turned and took Axuan in her arms.

Zhuozhou.

Xu Jin entered Zhuozhou City Gate before midday and stayed at the post house. After entering, he ordered the two guards to buy some Zhuozhou specialties. He was stuffed in the house and saw no one, so that those who wanted to show their faces in front of Lord Su Zhuozhou officials from Zhuozhou were busy for nothing.

"Are the people over there here?" Xu Jin asked blankly when Xu Jia came over to send dinner at night.

Xu Jia said: "Here, it's her side who specializes in the dowry shop."

Knowing that Cui Wan will definitely die, he doesn't call him the princess, so as not to poke the wound.

"Staring at him every move." Xu Jin said coldly.

No sleep all night, at noon the next day, Xu Jin took people out of the city to welcome them.

Xu Hao wore a silver armor and walked in the forefront. He saw the fourth brother who had been away for a long time and happily urged the horse to rush out of the team.

Xu Jin slapped him **** the shoulder and saw that his face darkened and his body became stronger, and he exclaimed: "Okay, the sixth brother has not been in vain in the past six months, and I will be relieved to see him when I turn back to my father and mother."

After being praised by his brother, Xu Hao couldn't help laughing.

The army camped outside the city, and Xu Hao pulled Xu Jin into the main account, and eagerly asked him: "Fourth brother, how about Wanwan? Have you met Brother Yun? I said it was a premature birth. I was so anxious to death!"

Xu Jin’s smile remained unchanged: "The cousin probably missed you too much. She had a little problem. When you turn back, you can accompany her more, and she will feel comfortable. Brother Yu is fine, the sixth brother, don’t be careful, the day before yesterday. I also met, my eyes look like yours."

Xu Hao felt sorry for his wife, and because he heard that his son was as happy as he was walking back and forth in the tent, he blamed himself: "It’s all my fault, I didn’t accompany Wanwan, brother, when I go back, you help me and father The emperor begs, let me rest for a while?"

Xu Jin naturally responded.

In the evening, Xu Jin presented a small celebration banquet on behalf of Emperor Jiahe in the military camp. The brothers of Xu Jin and Xu Hao were given a lot of wine by the soldiers. Xu Jin was the first to deal with it. He pulled Xu Hao aside and patted. He said on his shoulder: "Fourth brother is no longer working, so let's go back to the tent to sleep first, and the sixth brother will come back earlier. Our brothers will sleep in a tent. When I left the house, you and I have never slept in a bed. I remember... when you were nine years old, right?"

Not long after the fifteenth, the moon was still on in the sky. Looking at the drunken brother in the moonlight, Xu Hao was also full of emotions when he remembered what happened when he was a child. "Yeah, that year, the fourth brother was going to go with his uncle. I had to sleep with you, but when I woke up, my fourth brother had already set off. I couldn't see you off."

At that time, the fourth elder brother had grown into a tall and upright young man. He was just a child. He had to look up to see his brother. Now he can finally stand shoulder to shoulder with him. In the future, his brother will sit in that position. Take command of the cloak and guard the big Wei Jiangshan together.

With infinite pride surged in his chest, Xu Hao personally helped his brother into the tent, took off Xu Jin's boots thoughtfully, and helped him cover the quilt.

As soon as I got out of the tent, I saw a man in a gray robe led by a guard approaching him. Xu Hao took a look and immediately recognized him, and said in surprise, "Why are you here? The princess sent you?"

The old steward did not know what was in the letter. After the salute, he smiled and took the letter out of his arms and handed it over: "The prince, the princess knows that the prince is in Zhuozhou today, and I am here to deliver the letter."

After receiving the letter from the family again, Xu Hao was overjoyed and motioned to the consul guard to go to the banquet for a drink, and he reentered the tent.

There were originally two guards outside the tent to watch the night. Among them, the guard named Shi looked at the bonfire flickering in the distance, walked over to the opposite companion, and whispered to him with a low smile: "The relationship between the princess and the prince is really good, and I will see you tomorrow. , I am sending a special letter here today."

Companion chuckled: "What do you know as a bachelor, it's fun, my wife..."

Before he finished speaking, a faint fragrance suddenly came from the tip of his nose, and his companion was stunned, and then he fell back the next moment. Of course, Shi Weiwei couldn't let him fall to the ground. He looked around and saw that there was no one nearby. He quietly moved the person into the shadow behind the tent, and then returned to the door, with his head held up and his chest looked like he was on the guard, but he was staring inside. The figure of the man thrown on the tent, with a small bow in his hand.

Inside the tent, Xu Wei's hand gripping the letter paper became tighter.

Wan Wan said that the fourth brother had liked her since he was a child, because he also liked her. The fourth brother was concerned about brotherhood and determined that she would not choose him, so she began to neglect her and married Fu Rong as his wife, so that she was completely broken. Her thoughts.

Wan Wan said that after he went out on the expedition, her fourth brother had taken good care of her and sent someone to protect her when she went out. Once she secretly went to a nun's nunnery to survive the secret recipe, but she did not expect that the nun's nun was dressed as a woman , She put medicine in her tea, and the fourth elder brother appeared to rescue her when she was in distress, and on the way back to protect her, she was unconscious due to the nature of the medicine, and the fourth elder could not hold herself...

Wan Wan said that she wanted to die after seeing him for the last time. She didn't want to get pregnant. When her fourth brother learned that she threatened her with her aunt's life, she also threatened to accept her as a concubine in the future and give her and the child a name. Brother Yun was not born premature, but was born full-term, and the fourth brother also planned to kill him tonight so that she would give up completely.

Wan Wan said that she couldn't bear his death, so she secretly gave him a copy of the revised book before she died. Wan Wan said that she had no face and stayed alive, only begging him to avenge her humiliation and revenge, she will wait in the capital to see him die for the last time, without reporting, the fourth brother will go back alive tomorrow, and she will kill herself immediately...

The whole letter was written by her, and the letter paper was stained with tears, and at the end she wrote the word 绾绾 in blood.

Xu Hao didn't believe it.

How could his fourth brother treat him this way?

That was their string, how could he...

In my mind, however, the way my fourth brother looked at Wanwan smiling when he was a child, and the cold face of his fourth brother pursing his lips on the night of his wedding...

The fourth brother really liked Wanwan all the time, pretending to be generous to give Wanwan to his younger brother, Wanwan really wanted to marry him, he was upset, and even secretly followed Wanwan, taking advantage of the void! No wonder he had to come to Zhuozhou to welcome him personally, no wonder he had to sleep with him, because it turned out to be for the murder of his brother and his wife!

Once again, his eyes fell on the words in the letter that his wife was being bullied. Xu Hao's eyes were cracked, and he suddenly pulled out his saber from his waist.

On the couch, Xu Jin lay on his side facing the inside. He opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps.

The candlelight flickered, and the shadow falling on the tent also shook.

Xu Jin stared at the shadow intently and watched the man raise the sword that had been from him, raising it higher and higher.

The author has something to say: Brother Ju: Don’t kill my dad, ~~o(>_<)o~~
