agent dressed as brother

Chapter 11

Liu Xu sat quietly in the hall, thinking repeatedly about Zhou Yifeng's words. It seemed that Zhou Yiyun was not in a hurry to seek success. Before he knew the enemy's situation, he only made defensive preparations. If he chose to attack first, he might be defeated now.Liu Xu thought for a while, and called Xiao Ya: "Mr. Ma, please come here."

When Mr. Ma hurried forward, the catkins dispersed and the people in the house were scattered, only Xiao Ya and Wang Fan were left guarding the door. "Sit down, you and I don't need to be formal now."

"Thank you, Princess Eleven, for giving me the seat."

Liu Xu said bluntly: "The other princes recommended the Eleventh Prince to go to the expedition, but now the Holy Majesty wants to send support, and he must be selected from among the princes, don't you think so?" The other princes' actions were to drive Zhou Yiyun to death It's a pity that they can't control the battle situation ahead. They were the ones who proposed it. Now that the form has changed, they can only follow up the follow-up, so as to show Zhou Yuhuang's impartiality.

Manager Ma looked at Liu Xu with a little surprise after hearing this, reflected his impoliteness and immediately replied: "The eleventh concubine is really smart."

Liu Xu said softly: "No one in this mansion knows more about the affairs of the palace than you, and I called you here just to know the character of each prince."

"This……"

"I said that there are only you and me now. I don't want to know who you live in, but I am the master of the mansion now. I don't want to go around those twists and turns. It's more suitable for me to go straight. You just say it. Others You don't have to worry about that."

"The old slave has been away from the palace for many years, and I don't know what has changed now. If the princess wants to know, then the old slave can only talk about what he knew a few years ago." Kan Liuxu nodded and said: "The empress of the dynasty has two sons. The former prince is now imprisoned in the mansion outside the palace. The other is the third prince. The third prince is also one of the princes who hold military power. Xiwen, the fifth prince is the current prince, this..."

"Let's go on." Liu Xu saw his hesitation, and didn't want to embarrass him, and the possibility of the crown prince's expedition was completely ruled out.

"The sixth prince and the seventh prince, one is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the other is in charge of the Ministry of Households. Although the eighth prince was in charge of the army, he became disabled due to an accident. The prince has been friends since he was a child, he loves business and has no intention of governing."

"Needless to say the latter ones, they are all still young. How is the relationship between the Third Prince and the Eleventh Prince?"

"The ex-prince's demise has little to do with the eleventh prince."

Although the words are reserved, Liu Xu already knows the meaning of the words.

"If the Eleventh Prince doesn't come back, as long as he has fame, the hidden enemy will target the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, because he has a legitimate son and will inherit it. If he loses due to personal reasons, then the fate of the people in the mansion will be prison. , Beheading, at least it will be a life of poverty, no merit and no name."

Manager Ma nodded: "Princess, and Your Majesty..."

"Father's thoughts ultimately depend on everyone's attitude."

Liu Xu didn't say it clearly, but one can imagine how many people are waiting for Zhou Yiyun in this battle. He will never return. The dead will never speak. Fearing that if their ideas came true, the people in the mansion would immediately become prisoners. Liu Xu thought about what Zhou Yiyun had said to him before he set off, whether he thought highly of his first wife.

Liu Xu supported her forehead and asked, "How long is the journey from the capital to the battlefield?"

"It's less than 20 days away."

"Director Ma, what's your opinion on the Eleventh Prince?"

"I don't dare, but if the war is about to start, the Eleventh Prince will be able to defend until the reinforcements converge."

"Boss Ma, I want to see His Majesty." Liu Xu looked at Boss Ma firmly, with a tone that could not refuse.

qingping pass

"General, who do you think His Majesty will send to support?"

Zhou Yiyun looked at the topographic map in front of him: "I don't know."

"If the general is the third prince, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Are you worried that I will be attacked by the enemy? Li Jin, there is no way for the soldiers to block it, and the water will be flooded."

Seeing the general's indifferent expression, Li Jin said anxiously: "General, you should think of a way, let the Holy One send someone to come."

Zhou Yiyun shook his head: "Father wanted to reject their request back then, but I insisted on accepting it. How can father care about his son and daughter at this time?" He looked outside the camp, but no one knew what was going on in his mind.

"Prince Xuan Shiyi enters the palace."

"Eleventh daughter-in-law Zhou Liuxu has met her father."

Zhou Yuhuang frowned, the imperial decree in his hand hadn't been issued yet, at this moment the eleventh daughter-in-law came to add to the chaos. "Get up, why are you in a hurry to see Lian?"

Liu Xu didn't get up: "I ask the emperor to agree to let Zhou Liuxu lead troops to support General Wu."

Zhou Yuhuang was slightly angry: "Zhou Liuxu, is it child's play for you to be my court leader? You let me order a brother of yours to be the general of the reinforcements?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Chao Gang didn't specify that brother can't be a general. Your Majesty can't refuse Zhou Liuxu's request with his usual feelings."

"Hmph, I knew you were eloquent from the first time I saw you, and I want to see why you can persuade me to gamble with the lives of all the soldiers."

"The reason is trust, just like His Majesty trusts the Eleven Princes. Zhou Liuxu has no big goals, but does his best for his family. If he can, he will keep them. People look down upon her, even the first wife of the eleventh prince is a brother, which is ridiculed. My father looks down on my brother because my brother is not as strong as my father. Although I am a father, I can bear offspring like a woman. Women despise my brother. My son, I feel that my brother is not as good as a master, not as soft as a woman himself, and is a waste in their eyes. Why is my brother a third type of person who is shameless after doing what both a man and a woman can do? The name has no role, and you are a slave? My daughter-in-law has always been familiar with military books, and she doesn't want to talk about wars on paper, so she can prove to the Holy Majesty and the people of the world that my brother is not small, and on the contrary, the third type of people they despise are very powerful."

Zhou Yuhuang took a deep breath. He has always wanted to solve this problem since he entered politics, and his father never forgot about it. It's not that he looks down on this kind of people, it's because they have nothing to do with their contempt. It's like the education of women's three obediences and four virtues, brother Instilled ideas are also deeply rooted.Staring at catkins, Zhou Yuhuang vacillated, cornered, will he be able to make a bright future?

"Give me a deadline."

"It doesn't take half a year to add the itinerary and deploy."

"You lost?"

"I am willing to be a prisoner when I am alive, and I am thrown on the random hills when I am dead."

"Okay." Zhou Yuhuang tore up the imperial decree "I will fulfill you.

"Thank you, Father." Liu Xu lowered her head and then said, "Father, Eleventh daughter-in-law has something to ask."

"Oh? Now become my eleventh daughter-in-law? Tell me!" Zhou Yuhuang now has no affection for this stubborn and stubborn daughter-in-law.

"There is still a son-in-law left in the Eleventh Prince's Mansion. The daughter-in-law is really worried, and begs the emperor to arrange it properly. Please let the emperor do it."

"Get up, don't worry, I will take the emperor's grandson to the palace early tomorrow morning, and I will take care of him personally, is it possible?"

"Thank you, Father."

After knowing the news, the third prince stood angrily in the smashed study room, grinning his eyes and gnashing his teeth. He had clearly heard that his father had prepared a summons and sent him to support him. Being preempted by Zhou Liuxu, how could that brother He De change his father's mind?With the exception of Zhou Yiyun, the frontier military power was in his hands. Everything was as he expected, but he was taken away midway, how could he not be angry.

It was only an hour since Liu Xu returned to the mansion, and Eunuch Liu came to announce the decree with the imperial decree in hand.Eunuch Liu looked at the kneeling Liuxu and the others, cleared his throat and read: "Great Zhou Zhou Yuhuang specially appointed Zhou Liuxu as the deputy general of Zhou, and led [-] troops to Qingping Pass to support General Wu. He will return from victory within half a year. this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Jin En."

Eunuch Liu handed over the imperial decree to Liu Xu, and helped up the bold brother: "Vice General Zhou, Your Majesty is very interested in this matter, and is going to tell the world."

Liu Xu smiled wryly: "How big a stone is the father trying to put on me?"

Respectfully sending the grand master away, Liu Xu looked at the stunned residents in the courtyard. These are the people she wanted to protect. Xiao Ya knelt down and pulled Liu Xu's long gown, with a sad face: "Master, you bring Xiao Ya together. Go, please, my lord."

Liu Xu flicked her legs: "Put your dejected face away, I didn't send your master to die, Baobao will go to the palace tomorrow, and you must stay by Baobao's side, watch him for me, don't be a little dazed Look at the other people and confess: "After I leave tomorrow, the concubine will take care of the affairs in the mansion. If there is anything that can't be handled, I will discuss it with Manager Ma. The rest of the people's skin is tense. No matter what happens Don't mess around."

"Yes, master."

"Master, Wang Fan would like to go out with you." "Master..." "Master..."

"Stop, stop, get a few small sticks over there, you go to the lottery, follow me if you go, watch the house if you can't, do your part. I'm not hypocritical, I don't want to do good things, I don't leave my name, You have to remember, one of my brothers asked me to go to the battlefield today, why? In my heart, you are my family, and I have to protect them. It's all gone, Xiao Ya go and get the bag."

A month ago, Liu Xu watched Zhou Yiyun go out of the city. Today, Liu Xu rode on the street together on a war horse. His evil face, cold and sharp eyes, and wearing a battle robe amazed the crowd on the street.

"Wow, is Vice Admiral Zhou really a brother? You're lying..."

"It's really beautiful, it's more generous than the master..."

"It would be great if I became a brother like Vice General Zhou."

"Don't think about it, he is the concubine of the eleventh prince. Although he is a lieutenant general, he bears the surname of the country. He is too powerful..."

……

Liu Xu stared straight ahead, listened to gossip from all around, and thought with a bit of wicked humor, if Zhou Yiyun saw the spectacular scene at this moment, would he cry when he thought of his desolation?

During the itinerary, catkins did not allow anyone to use the food and grass distributed by the saint. No matter what age the materials were, they were important aids in the war. After touching the crossbow hanging on his waist, he was really powerful and well-made. Although it is not possible to have new weapons for each person, it is enough. The bamboo shields on the soldiers' backs were made by Liuxu when they passed by the bamboo forest. The first thing to do when weapons are scarce is to save lives, as Zhou Yiyun said , Only by being alive can we resist.

It has been 15 days since I was able to enter the camp at full speed.

"Report to the general, the reinforcements have arrived a hundred meters away." Li Jin rushed into the account to report.

Zhou Yiyun, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, let's go to meet him, the answer should be revealed."

Zhou Yiyun rode on a horse and Li Jin behind him looked at them, and slowly walked towards the large army that was walking towards them. When Zhou Yiyun saw the leader, the corners of Zhou Yiyun's mouth curled up, and Li Jin shouted in surprise: "Why...how is it Eleven? Princess."

Looking at each other with a distance of one meter, Zhou Yiyun smiled and said, "You really didn't disappoint me."
