Since playing two chess games with Xu Huan, Yan Ling has been running to the main courtyard every day like looking for a chess friend.

Xu Huan is still recuperating, but he is very welcome. The old and the young talk every day, and it is very happy.

So, the second young master Yan completely forgot about going to Yongcheng, as if he had just come out for a trip and had a lot of fun as a guest.

After getting up early and practicing swords, Yan Ling returned to the house with sweat.

"The weather in Nanyuan is too stuffy. After practicing for a while, he was sweating all over." He muttered and complained while wiping his sweat.

"Young master, go and wash, the water is ready." Yan Ji came out of the inner room.

Yan Ling agreed and took off all the way. Her young and toned body quickly became completely naked, and her long legs crossed and she entered the bathtub.

Yan Ji followed him to pick up clothes, sighing while picking them up.

"What are you sighing? Come and wash my hair!"

Yan Ji asked strangely: "Didn't you wash yesterday? Why do you still need to wash today?"

Yan Ling was confident: "It is said that the weather in Nanyuan is hot, and the body is full of sweat. Can the head be clean? If you don't wash it, it smells of sweat. How can you see people?"

Yan Ji understood: "Don't you want to leave a bad impression on Lord Xu, right?"

If you want to marry Miss Xu San, you have to please her father. This is the right idea!

Yan Ji understood this and was very supportive. As long as he didn't have to go to Yongcheng to die, what's the point of asking him to wash his hair?

So he washed and rubbed hard...

Yan Ling, who was pulled, screamed: "Be gentle!"

Yan Ji felt wronged: "Isn't it good to wash it clean?"

Yan Ling said: "Do you call washing? You have to break your scalp!"

The master and servant were quarreling, and finally cleaned and looked brand new, so they went to Xu Huan to play chess.

But this time they were stopped.

Wei Jun said with a polite look on his face, "Sir, I won't entertain Mr. Yan if you have something to do today."

Yan Ling looked at the officials coming and going, feeling a little unusual, but if he asked directly, Wei Jun would definitely not say it, and said, "Then I'm waiting here, Lord Xu will always finish his work, right?"

Then he walked towards the carriage.

"Hey!" Wei Jun stopped him again, "I really have no time today. Mr. Yan will come back another day!"

How could Yan Ling listen to him? If he left obediently, wouldn’t he be able to find out any news? He immediately bypassed him quickly and said to himself: “How can you know without waiting? Maybe the adults will finish the matter in a while? Don’t worry about me, just give me a pot of tea.”

Yan Ji immediately took the conversation cleverly: "Young master, I'll go make tea." Then he went there quickly.

Yan Ling had already sat down, looked up at him, and looked sincere: "Since there are many things, you don't have to worry about me, go ahead and go!"

He is like this, how can he stop him? Wei Jun sighed silently and went out and told the guards in a low voice: "Look at it, don't let Young Master Yan go around."

Although Yan Ling didn't hear what he said, she saw this attitude.

Yan Ji came back with the tea and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, what are they doing? Is there something big happening?"

Yan Ling drank tea, stared at the outside, and responded in a low voice: "There must be something big. The one who was clearly a messenger just now, was summoned by everyone in person."

"Hey, Miss Xu San is here!" Yan Ji pointed to Xu Yin who had just come in excitedly.

Yan Ling scolded: "Don't quarrel."

He stared at Xu Yin, her expression was as normal and her steps were not panicked. The situation should not be that bad? But it is not certain that he had known him for so long that he had never seen Miss Xu San panicked. That night, he took people to fight for bandits, and he looked calm.

Xu Yin didn't notice anyone here, so he quickly walked into the room and saw his father being surrounded by Ji Jing and others.

"Father."

When Xu Huan saw her, he waved: "A Yin, come."

Xu Yin walked over and had prepared a seat for her here, and was slightly behind her father, where she could listen.

Ji Jing and others saw her coming, and their expressions were as normal.

"What happened?" she asked.

Xu Huan glanced at him and Ji Jing replied: "Return to the third lady, Wu Zijing suddenly sent troops to seize Yongcheng."

Xu Yin looked surprised: "So fast?" It was obviously a few months before his previous life!

Everyone's faces were as heavy as they were, Jin Lu said: "It's indeed surprisingly fast. We all thought that he would send troops until the end of his life."

Daliang was originally a foreign land. Emperor Gaozu borrowed troops from them when he was conquering the world. Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty established the country. Emperor Gaozu repaid his love and appointed his tribe leader as King Liang.

Wu Zijing was born in the Central Plains and joined the army for generations. He was also a good general. But later he was framed and fled to Daliang.

The world has been chaotic for a long time, and no one cares if the generals do not escape. The emperor is in a weak position, and Daliang has been not obeying the emperor's order for a long time. In this way, Wu Zijing became Marshal of Daliang.

But Wu Zijing is not a grateful person. Seeing the fierce internal power struggle between Daliang, he took the opportunity to seize the throne of Daliang.

He was not a Daliang person, and he was seized by the throne through mutiny. Those foreigners were very fierce, how could they obey him? Therefore, everyone thought that he would take some time to suppress the internal rebellion before he could make a move to annex other places.

Unexpectedly, he actually sent troops in such a short time.

If Yongcheng was taken away, Nanyuan would be in danger. No wonder his father suddenly summoned her. This is a major event that concerns life and death.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yin understood and said, "It's not surprising that Daliang is in chaos, so he is eager to send troops. The army will fight and seize profits everywhere, and then it will suppress internal conflicts."

Xu Huan nodded comfortably: "That's the reason. But if you do this, you will collapse as soon as you encounter setbacks."

Xu Yin asked: "Father, what should we do? Is it difficult to defend Nanyuan's troops?"

"Yes." Xu Huan didn't hide it from her, "I originally thought about sending an envoy to Dongjiang or Guanzhong to see if I could ask the King of Dongjiang and Duke Zhao to help, but I didn't expect Wu Zijing to act so quickly."

Xu Yin weighed the pros and cons in his heart. If Wu Zijing hadn't fought yet, he could negotiate the terms. Now that the fight is about to start, Nanyuan will be out of the qualifications to propose conditions, and the initiative is completely in the hands of others.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

"Of course, our Nanyuan is not Yongcheng, and he may not be able to take it down even if he wants to." Xu Huan said confidently, "For my father, it will be no problem to stay for three or five months."

Even so, we still have to find a reinforcement.

Xu Yin had just put his ideas on Yan Ling, and another messenger came outside.

"Sir! There is a letter from Yongcheng! It was Wu Zijing who sent it himself!"

Huh? Is it a declaration of war?

Xu Huan took it and looked at it, and his face became strange.

"Father? What's wrong?"

Xu Huan handed her the letter with a strange expression: "Wu Zijing did not declare war, but instead made an invitation to invite her father to go to Yongcheng to attend the meeting."

After reading it in a few seconds, Xu Yin found an invitation letter. Wu Zijing was quite polite, and it was not their family who invited him, but several nearby prefectures.
