Chapter 23
Ten days later, Apocalypse Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Marquis Wu'an, what countermeasures do you have?" Emperor Ming Xi asked.

I saw Xiao Jingpeng, the Marquis of Wu'an, holding a copy of the Frontier Express Horse Report in his hand and looking at it.

Hearing the words, he replied: "My Majesty, according to the report, the refugees on the border between the two dynasties continued to harass the people of our dynasties. Although this situation happened occasionally in previous years, it is not as rampant as it is these days."

"Now, I'm in court, and the details of this matter are still unknown. However, several lieutenants in the northern border have followed me for many years and have experienced hundreds of battles. I believe that they can still stabilize the situation. Your Majesty Don't worry."

Emperor Ming Xi heard the words and said, "Do other people think the same way?"

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Yukun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have this performance."

"Zhao Qing's family, please tell me." Emperor Ming Xi said after hearing the words.

Zhao Yukun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, what Marquis Wu'an said has some truth, but I believe that the chief general in the northern border is Marquis Wu'an after all."

"Now, they dare to be so rampant because Marquis Wu'an is not in the northern border. Although they are some refugees, but the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest, it is difficult to guarantee that they will continue to let it go. Will it bring greater stability to our border? hidden danger."

"It's hard to guarantee that the Great Yue Dynasty in the north will take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Therefore, I ask the emperor to issue an order as soon as possible so that Marquis Wu'an can return to the northern border as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. Marquis Wu'an is inseparable from the northern border!"

"Sir, seconded!"

"Sir, seconded!"

······
Hearing the voices of second opinion, a trace of complacency flashed in Emperor Ming Xi's eyes.

Emperor Ming Xi said: "What you said is true, the stability of the border is very important."

"Marquis Wu'an, the northern border really needs you to go back and stabilize it. In this way, you can choose a day to return to the northern border and deal with these refugees as soon as possible to reassure the people. For other matters, let's wait until the frontier affairs are dealt with before discussing, how about it? "

"This... the minister obeys the order, and the minister will make arrangements as soon as possible, and leave for the northern border as soon as possible." Marquis Wu An finally bowed down.

Although he knew that Emperor Mingxi intended to transfer himself away from the imperial capital so that he could perform the feudal act, he would be beyond his reach then!
But this morning, Emperor Mingxi never mentioned this matter, and he couldn't bring it up again. Although it was Xi'er's intention to return to the northern border as soon as possible, he still couldn't help worrying in his heart. That's all, we still have to trust Xi'er and have the ability to deal with it I can only guard the rear for Xi'er first!

"Okay! Thank you Marquis Wu'an for your hard work!" Emperor Ming Xi replied.I was secretly happy in my heart, without Marquis Wu'an in the imperial capital, many things would be much easier to handle.

Temple battles, power struggles, invisible swords and swords, the situation is treacherous!

······
Painted boats on the Donghuai River.

"Master, this is the news from Mu Chen just now." Qing Yu bowed and handed a piece of letter paper to the man.

The man took the letter, looked at it carefully, and said for a moment, "Let Rong Feng send someone to the northern border to find out the troublemakers."

"Yes, master." Qingyu bowed and replied.

"If someone goes to the Hou's mansion, ask Qingyue to maintain a good relationship, and tell Qingyue that Qingluan is already preparing what she wants and can give it to her soon." The man said again.

"Yes, master." Qingyu replied.

After waiting for a while, no man was seen and ordered Fang to back down.

After a long time, the man said again: "Murong Xuan, it seems that your hand has already reached the northern border, not too shallow! If Xi'er wants it, I will let you. Now, I will not give you another chance!"

······
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Wu'an Mansion.

Wei Mo was reporting to Xiao Jinxi: "Master, the address of the Children's Home has been selected, and it is currently being repaired."

"In about half a month, we will be able to start operation. In addition, the secret passage of Master Hou's study has been opened to Jinxiu Pavilion, and we can leave the mansion directly from Xiaohua Hall in the future."

"At present, we still choose the exit on the Donghuai River for the secret passage. When our training location is selected, we will extend the secret passage there."

Xiao Jinxi nodded, and replied: "Well, it's done well, remember to keep things low-key, and minimize attention in the early stage."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Wei Mo bowed back.

Xiao Jinxi handed Wei Mo a letter and said, "This is something else to do. Take a look, it would be better to arrange two light exercises."

After reading the letter, Wei Mo replied: "My subordinates arranged for Yun Zhan and Yun Cheng to go. Both of them are good at lightness kung fu, and they work better together."

Xiao Jinxi heard the words and said: "Okay, you can make arrangements, but this matter, only the three of you know."

"Yes, master." Wei Mo replied.

"Miss." An Xue's voice came from outside the Nuan Pavilion.

"Come in." Xiao Jinxi said.

"Master, the subordinates will make arrangements first." Wei Mo bowed and said.

"Go." Xiao Jinxi nodded back.

An Xue came in from the outside, handed over a letterhead, and said, "Miss, this is what Mammy just handed over."

Xiao Jinxi took the letter and asked, "Has father returned home?"

An Xue replied: "Not yet, I heard that Lord Hou went to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to discuss the affairs of the northern border. This was handed over by Manager Xiao first."

Xiao Jinxi looked down at the letterhead, which was a list of the refugee incident in the northern border that was discussed in the court this morning, as well as the list of those who participated in the "secondary discussion".

After reading it, Xiao Jinxi handed it to An Xue, who saw An Xue throw the letter into the brazier, and the letter instantly turned to ashes.

I saw Xiao Jinxi turning her head to stare at the chessboard on the pear blossoms, her fingers habitually stroking the jade.

Seeing this, An Xue gently exited the Nuan Pavilion.

Time passed little by little, and after a long time, Xiao Jinxi dropped the jade in his hand.

But at this moment, it was already dark, and Xiao Jinxi realized that such a long time had passed.

"Luoer." Xiao Jinxi called.

"Here we come." Luoer's bright voice came from outside, and the voice fell in front of Xiao Jinxi.

He continued: "Miss, are you hungry? Master Hou and Shizi are already in Fu'an Hall, and I'll wait for you to serve dinner."

"I'm a little hungry, let's go, let's go to Fu'an Hall." Xiao Jinxi got up and said.

······
Fu'an Church.

"Come on, Xi'er, eat more, you've lost weight these days." Marquis Wu An put a piece of meat into Xiao Jinxi's bowl and said.

Xiao Jinxi smiled knowingly, and said, "Father, I understand, you should eat more too. Next time you go to the northern border, you won't be able to eat home food."

"Yes, father, the food in the northern border is delicious at home. You can have another bowl of soup." Xiao Jinxuan scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to her father.

"Okay, father, drink the soup." Marquis Wu An replied.

Marquis Wu An took the soup from his youngest daughter, and exhorted: "Father is not at home, the three of you, brother and sister, must help each other and grandmother more, you know?"

"Yes, father." All three nodded.

"Master Hou, don't worry, I will take good care of my mother and won't make her too tired." The second wife Zhao Zhishan said aloud.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Wu'an replied politely, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The second wife, Zhao Zhishan, stared at Marquis Wu An, and continued: "The weather in the northern region is cold, and the army is busy with affairs. Please, Lord Marquis, take care of your own body."

"I see, thank you." Marquis Wu An continued to reply politely.

The atmosphere at the dinner table cooled down for a while, Xiao Jinxi looked at this scene, saw the deep reluctance in Zhao Zhishan's eyes, and also saw the loss in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes.

Zhao Zhishan, you value your father. Now all of this is also your own choice. Now that all of this is unsatisfactory, will it make you lose your original intention?
Mrs. Xiao at the side also watched this scene, and sighed silently in her heart...

After a while, Mrs. Xiao broke the silence and said, "Peng'er, don't worry, Mother Zhao will be back next month. With her by my side, you don't have to worry."

Marquis Wu'an heard the words and replied: "Okay, that's very good. I can rest assured that Madam Zhao is taking care of you. Come on, mother, you can eat more." Marquis Wu'an put a piece of fish in his mother's bowl.

"Come on, you all eat more too." Marquis Wu'an said to everyone.

"Okay, father."

Tomorrow, Marquis Wu An will go to the northern border. At this moment, everyone agrees to ignore the scene just now, cherish the meal in front of them, and chat about homework...
