Those who wanted to see the excitement of Old Xu's family did not watch the show, and inevitably felt a little unbalanced.
Especially when the news spread back to the capital, some people in the capital were quite psychologically unbalanced.
In Xu Mansion, Mrs. Xu in Ci Ren Hall received the news from Anshun County and was speechless for a long time.
Mrs. Xu has always understood human nature.
People are greedy.
Don't worry about scarcity but inequality.
Previously, among the three sons of the Xu family, Xu Laosan was considered the most promising. He was only good at studying, but he was not an official, so he was not really promising anymore.
It is not easy for Mrs. Xu to drive a wedge between Boss Xu and their brothers.
She has been waiting for the right opportunity.
Finally, she waited for it.
This opportunity is not directly aimed at Boss Xu and his brothers, but starts with their wives. Women always like to compare and don't like other women to be better than themselves.
She had carefully learned about the three daughters-in-law of the Xu family.
Xu Lao Er's daughter-in-law, Li, has the lowest sense of presence in the Xu family.
Mrs. Xu relied more heavily on her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou. This was the injustice.
As for Mrs. Wang, this woman is of a decent background and has always had a certain sense of superiority over her two sisters-in-law. Moreover, Xu Laosan has relied on Jieyuan of Xiangyi Prefecture, and his future is very bright at present.
Starting from the Wang family is a bit difficult.
After comprehensive comparison, Mrs. Xu chose Li's.
Originally, with Xu Laoer's meritorious service, he was really not at the level where the imperial court would grant a pardon to the Li family.
But if someone works hard on this kind of thing, it won't be a big problem.
Mrs. Xu waited happily to see the fire in the backyard of Lao Xu's house, but the result was that nothing happened.
"It shouldn't be!"
Mrs. Xu was puzzled.
…
Also confused about this matter are Princess Yan, who has returned to the capital and is in charge of Prince Yan's Mansion again, and Princess Dachang, who is planning major events in Duke Ding's Mansion.
Princess Yan paid attention to the affairs of the old Xu family because of King Yan.
The records of Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu at Huangfengkou already showed signs of threatening the reputation of King Yan.
If the prestige of King Yan no longer exists, then she, Princess Yan, will be just an ordinary princess, not the prestigious Princess Yan in the capital.
As for the eldest princess, she purely wants to get rid of Mr. Xu and his son.
As early as when Ri Yao brought back the news from Lingshui Village, she was thinking about how to get rid of Mr. Xu and his son, because she had an sworn hatred with them.
Although many people were involved in Zhao's death, the leader was the eldest princess.
The eldest princess doesn't know whether Mr. Xu already knows the truth, but she can't continue to let Mr. Xu and his son continue to grow.
Originally, when Xu Shuo suggested to the emperor to recruit Mr. Xu to join the army, the eldest princess was extremely happy. No matter what Xu Shuo's thoughts are, as long as Mr. Xu goes to the battlefield, he will basically die.
Although the stupid nephew of Emperor Yongping is not very smart, the arrangement of Mr. Xu to Huangfengkou this time is something that makes the eldest princess very satisfied.
But the way things have developed now, the eldest princess is very dissatisfied.
Huangfengkou did not become the burial place of Mr. Xu and his son, but it actually made them successful.
"Report—"
"Your Highness, there is another battle report coming from Huangfengkou!"
"Xu Laoer rode alone and killed Tuoba Lie, the seventh prince of the Northern Barbarians, and defeated Tuoba Lie's troops!"
Just when the eldest princess felt unhappy about the rise of Mr. Xu and his son, another news came.
"What?"
"Say it again, in more detail!"
Hearing the words of the female guard who came to report the news, the eldest princess sat up suddenly.
"Back to Your Highness, Tuoba Lie, the seventh prince of the Northern Barbarians, led his troops to Huangfengkou. Three thousand pioneer cavalry tried to attack the city, but were blocked by the eight-oxen crossbow formation. Afterwards, Tuoba Lie ordered people to drive away the Tang Dynasty who had been kidnapped. The people are in front, attack Huangfengkou."
"Xu Yuanxi, the brave warrior general, rides alone and invites the Northern Barbarians to fight."
"Tuoba Lie made people shoot out a hail of arrows."
"General Yong Wulang rushed into the battle alone and shot Tuoba Lie to death. The bodyguards around Tuoba Lie accidentally threw down Tuoba Lie's flag, which in turn caused the Northern Barbarian army to collapse!"
The female guard simply read the detailed battle report.
Of course, this so-called detailed description is only a rough description.
But even this description is enough for others to imagine the scene at that time.
The Northern Barbarians drove the people of the Tang Dynasty to attack the city in order to destroy Mr. Xu's Eight Bull Crossbow Formation.
This is undoubtedly the correct strategy!
But who would have thought that the change in the battle situation was due to the bravery of one person!
"Have the battle reports been sent to the palace?"
The eldest princess looked at the female guard half-kneeling on the ground and spoke in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Highness, yes, he should have been sent to the palace by now!"
"Get down!"
The eldest princess pondered for a moment and waved her hand gently.
After waiting for the female guard to retreat, Du Yuner, who was standing next to her, spoke in a low voice, "Sister, are you very afraid of the Xu family's father and son?"
"kind of!"
The eldest princess glanced at Du Yuner and said calmly, "Does Yuner have any good ideas?"
Du Yuner smiled slightly and said: "Sister, this Xu Huaiyi and our Duke Dingguo are father and son. You are his mother in name!"
"Now, his father and son have made such great achievements one after another. Isn't it justifiable for you to send people to bring their family members to the Duke's palace?"
"You are smart!"
The eldest princess sighed, "It would be great if their family members could be brought to the Duke's Mansion. But don't forget, they are also from Haiyan Mansion!"
Haiyan Mansion is Xu Mansion.
"Sister, do you think that old lady will still protect them?"
"As far as my little sister knows, An Taigong already had two sons who died in Xiangyi Mansion. Previously, someone from Xu Mansion also died on the road outside Lingshui Village."
"The Xu family and the Xu Huaiyi family, even if there is no old case involving his mother Zhao, it would be difficult for them to get together!"
"That's what I said!"
The eldest princess sighed, "But you don't understand this old lady. No, to be precise, no one understands this old lady. Everything she does is criticized by others. "
"But Xu Mansion is still Xu Mansion."
"Sister, I think you should go to the Xu Mansion. Talk to this old lady face to face. If you don't know how to speak, you might as well go see Princess Yan first!"
Du Yuan'er smiled and said, "Princess Yan just came back from Huaien Temple. And in Huaien Temple, few people who go in can come out. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people there are the living dead."
"It's interesting!"
The eldest princess looked at Du Yun'er who was giving her advice and couldn't help but chuckle, "Wan'er is really smart as ice and snow!" (End of this chapter)
