farmer's wife

Chapter 192
When Xiao Lie washed up and walked over, Fu Yan had already leaned back on the bed.

He lifted a corner of the quilt and sat in.

Fu Yan turned to look at him, and asked softly, "What's going on tonight."

Xiao Lie looked at Fu Yan heavily, hesitant to speak.Knowing that I want to go to the frontier battlefield, will my wife agree?

Xiao Lie was a little apprehensive, but in the end he never concealed it and told Ye Zhuo's words completely.

The battlefield and fighting are too far away for Fu Yan.

She came from a peaceful and prosperous age, and after traveling to the Li Dynasty, even though the back house of the Zhao Mansion was somewhat private, there were still laws in the Li Dynasty, and the master and wife wanted to save face, and never killed the servants at will.

Although she has never experienced it before, she also knows the pain and ruthlessness of the battlefield.There, human life is the most fragile and perishable.What's more, this is still the era of cold weapons, and a wound infection may kill a strong soldier.

At this time, Fu Yan regretted it. If she had known that she would encounter this, she would have studied medicine in college.

Fu Yan turned sideways, and stroked Xiao Lie's eyebrows with his right hand.

The sword eyebrows, the black eyes, the high bridge of the nose, the thin lips, and the body are all touched and loved by her countless times.No matter which part of Xiao Lie's body was injured, she would feel distressed.

She wanted to live a peaceful and stable life.There is a yard, she does the work she likes, raises the children with her husband, and then grows old together... There is no extravagance, no swords, no iron and blood on the battlefield, and she is satisfied with just the most ordinary civilian life.

Fu Yan wanted to keep Xiao Lie selfishly, regardless of whether he knew it or not.

But she is not an ignorant woman.She has been educated, she has read history books, and she understands the truth that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world".How can there be a home without a country?If everyone wants to shirk and only care about their own interests, who should guard this country?

If no one guards the gate of the country, the enemy's iron cavalry can drive directly to the door of the house, and the small family will not be safe in the end.

Intense conflicts of ideas collided in her heart, and even her breathing became short and dull.

Fu Yan looked up at Xiao Lie, she slowly wrapped her arms around Xiao Lie's neck, and asked carefully, "Brother Alie, do you want to go?"

Xiao Lie grabbed Fu Yan's arm, attached her soft little hand to her face again, and slowly rubbed her palm.He looked deeply at Fu Yan but didn't speak.

Fu Yan exhaled, withdrew her hands and lay down.She closed her eyes and shrank under the quilt, and said in a nonchalant voice, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

She wanted to escape this answer for the time being, to calm herself down.What you do or say when you are impulsive is always regrettable.Fu Yan didn't want to make a decision on this matter immediately, she had to think again.

Xiao Lie focused on her peaceful face for a while before getting up to blow out the candles.He lay down again, hugging Fu Yan tightly from behind.Fu Yan didn't resist either, as if she really fell asleep, only the eyeballs under her eyelids kept moving to show her master's restlessness.

Fu Yan asked him if he wanted to go, the first thought in Xiao Lie's mind was yes.

Uncle is right, a good man has a long way to go.He also has a great wish to make contributions in his heart.

The daughter-in-law is too good, and there is a trace of inferiority deep in Xiao Lie's heart.He is willing to assist Fu Yan's career and share her worries and labors, but he also regrets that he cannot give Fu Yan a better life with his own ability.

Xiao Lie has self-knowledge, he feels that he has no strengths other than his martial art and archery.So he declined Ye Zhuo's offer to find him a small official in the government.

Going to the frontier to defend and kill the enemy is not only his hatred for those Beirong people who destroy and trample the people of Li Dynasty, but also the man's desire to make meritorious deeds.

With this ability, he is confident that he can lay down a foundation to protect his wife and children.

It's just that he couldn't bear to part with A Yan and A Jian Nuo Nuo.

After he left, Fu Yan had to support the family alone.The battlefield is ruthless, and he can't guarantee that he can come back unscathed.If something happened to him, what would Ah Yan do?

……

Thoughts of the two were turning back and forth, but they passed the night peacefully.

**
On the second day, the messenger from the Northwest brought the memorial, and it exploded early.

Qi Zhuo looked at the courtiers below accusing each other and shirking responsibility, but he still failed to select a candidate for those who could come forward to deal with the matter.There are too many interests involved.

Qi Zhuo watched coldly, and then threw the memorial off the desk.

"The frontier fortress is extremely urgent, but you are still arguing about useless things?! This is my good minister!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The ministers hurriedly knelt down, and there was a crowd.

Qi Zhuo made a decisive decision and announced the appointment of Ye Zhuo, the brave man, as the governor of Fubei, and led [-] soldiers and horses to join the [-] soldiers and horses in the northwest to defend against the enemy.He ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Officials to coordinate and cooperate, and gave half of the tiger talisman to Ye Zhuo.

Ye Zhuo respectfully accepted the order.

All the courtiers withstood His Majesty's anger, and none of them objected.

When the imperial court announced the war, Ye Zhuo was busy in the barracks, returning home very late every day, and sometimes even took a rest directly in the barracks.

Princess Qi Tong also knew about the expedition.The matter is a foregone conclusion, time is running out, and the whole mansion is busy by her.

In the past two days, Fu Yan has been calmly continuing to embroider, and occasionally instructing Shi Yang in cooking.Her behavior was as usual, kind and amiable, but it seemed that the timing was unlucky, and she never met Xiao Lie.

Everyone in the Qijingyuan felt an unusual atmosphere, and they were more cautious in doing things on weekdays, lest they offend their masters.

Xiao Lie wanted to grab Fu Yan and have a good talk, but Fu Yan was always busy with various things and avoided him.Even when going to bed at night, Fu Yan coaxed Nuo Nuo to sleep, leaving no room for Xiao Lie to talk.

Time became more and more tense, Ye Zhuo had already sent someone to ask Xiao Lie about his choice.

This afternoon, Xiao Lie stopped in front of Fu Yan and said in a muffled voice, "Ah Yan, I have something to tell you."

"Wait a while, I'll put Nuo Nuo to sleep first." Fu Yan hugged the child and shook her lightly without raising her head.

Xiao Lie pursed his thin lips and looked at Fu Yan who was written all over his body who refused to talk.

Fu Yan just kept him cold for a few days, and Xiao Lie couldn't stand it anymore.If Ah Yan really disagreed, he thought about not going and went back to Shizhou City with her.

But no matter what Fu Yan thought, he wanted to have a good chat with Fu Yan, and he didn't want to leave like this again!
"I will send the child to Granny Shi to take care of, wait for me to come back, let's talk." Xiao Lie reached out to hug Nuonuo, turned and walked out.

Fu Yan looked at her empty arms, was silent for a while, and folded her arms.

Some things need to be made clear.

When Xiao Lie came back again, the two spoke at the same time:

Xiao Lie: "I won't go."

Fu Yan: "You go."

　Thank you all for your support and votes!
