From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1034

It was already dusk, the setting sun was as red as blood, and the city of Shenjing was reflected in it, full of sad colors.

All the way back home, Xiong Kuohai started to lose his temper as soon as he walked into the hall, smashed a bunch of things, and then stood there panting.

Sister Xiong looked at the mess on the ground and couldn't help wondering: "What's wrong with you? You haven't lost your temper for many years. Did someone take advantage of you?"

Xiong Kuohai shook his head and gritted his teeth and said: "They are all crazy! Zhou Yuan is crazy! Song Wu is also crazy!"

"It's obviously irrational to fight, but you have to fight, and you have to fight with all your family's wealth. If you lose, all your efforts in the past few years will be in vain."

Sister Xiong was stunned for a moment, then said: "So it's for this matter, but you don't know how to fight as well as others. If they want to fight, there must be a reason."

Xiong Kuohai said: "It's the spirit! The spirit of young people!"

"I want to be the first in everything, I have to fight for everything, and I have to hit my head and bleed before I turn back."

Sister Xiong sneered He said, "Anyway, the King of Wei has not made a wrong move in these years. Why are you angry? You are the Earl because you followed him to become one."

"You know nothing!"

Xiong Kuohai glared at her unhappily and said, "I am the Earl. I live in a mansion with six entrances. I am very wealthy and have successfully landed. With Zhou Yuan's protection, my position is as stable as Mount Tai."

"In this situation, am I willing to go to war?"

"I have finally made it to today. I don't want to lick blood on the edge of a knife again and don't want to risk my life."

"I am afraid of death, understand?"

Sister Xiong frowned and said, "You are not a military general. What are you worried about? Naturally, other people will go to war!"

"Bullshit again!"

Xiong Kuohai said unhappily, "We have come all the way, ups and downs. They've been through it all. They're fighting for their lives, and I'm enjoying myself in Shenjing City? I can't do this kind of thing! "

"These two stubborn donkeys really make me angry."

"I guess I'm going to fight this time. Damn, it's really bad."

He looked at his wife and gritted his teeth and said, "I have to find some connections to make a suitable armor. This thing can save my life at a critical moment."

"But if I can't survive, you give my concubines a sum of money and send them all away."

"Then you sell this village and buy a smaller one, and live a low-key life."

"Get on good terms with Jianjia. With her protection, no one dares to bully you."

"If you want a man, find one yourself, but don't find one with too high a status, otherwise you can't afford it."

Sister Xiong was so anxious that she slapped him. On the back of his head, she said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about, Xiong, are you deliberately slandering me?"

Xiong Kuohai held her hand and said solemnly: "I am serious. There are always casualties in war. If I am gone, you have to live on."

"I was born in a humble family and suffered a lot. I got better after meeting you. Even if I am gone in the future, I hope you can live well."

Sister Xiong couldn't help but redden her eyes and choked up and said: "Can I not go to the war? I'll go to Jianjia to ask for mercy."

"Stupid!"

Xiong Kuohai growled: "As long as I don't take the initiative to say it, no one will ask me to go to the war, but... I can't not go."

"Why!"

"For my brothers and for the country."

Xiong Kuohai waved his hand and sighed as he walked to the backyard.

...

Carriages stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion, and the nobles in brocade clothes got off, and the scene became lively immediately.

"Old Ma, you're here too? I thought Xiao Wu just called me to drink, but he called all of you."

"Fuck you, if he can call you, he must call me, I'm much closer to him than you are."

"I'm the closest, I hugged him when I was a child!"

"Bullshit, who hasn't hugged Xiao Wu!"

Seven or eight marquises and earls, all brothers who fought for life and death in the past, now successful and famous, have endless stories to tell when they get together.

They walked in arm in arm, but saw Song Wu standing alone in the hall, without even a servant around.

Marquis Huwei couldn't help but stare and said: "Wu Zi, where are the wine and food? You invited us to drink, are you going out to drink? Tell me what place, I have experience!"

Everyone laughed when he said this.

Song Wu waited until they finished laughing, then said calmly: "Today is my grandfather's 90th birthday."

So, everyone's expressions gradually became stiff.

Song Wu said: "Uncles, follow me."

He turned and walked towards the backyard. Seven or eight uncles looked at each other and hurriedly followed him.

So they came to the Song family's armory.

The broken armor on the wall came into view, the past came to their minds, and everyone could only sigh.

Song Wu came to the spirit tablet at the end of the armory, knelt down slowly, and kowtowed three times.

Others knelt down quickly, gritting their teeth and not speaking.

Song Wu said slowly: "Grandpa, your grandson is here to see you, and the uncles and aunts are here to see you too."

"Now the Great Jin is doing well, and there is a lot to be rebuilt. As long as it continues to develop, it is only a matter of time before it will prosper."

"But unfortunately, something happened."

"The 300,000 troops of the Tsarist Kingdom are heading south to invade Liaodong, which was once our land."

"The Yarkand Khanate is about to unify the Western Regions, and Gansu Town is also facing a huge threat."

Hearing this, the faces of the seven or eight nobles kneeling in the back changed.

Song Wu continued: "I discussed with the marshal for a long time, and finally decided...Northern Expedition to Tsarist Russia! Western Town Gansu! Both sides are carried out at the same time!"

"Wu Zi! You..."

Hu Wei Hou was about to speak, but was stopped by Yong Guan Hou.

He whispered: "Why are you arguing in front of the Marshal? We can talk about it outside."

Song Wu continued: "The risk is huge, and the price to pay is also huge. This decision is difficult."

"But... Liaodong is my land of the Great Jin Dynasty after all, and there are countless Han people outside the Great Wall. Recovering Liaodong and letting compatriots return to the motherland is your lifelong wish. How can your grandson take a step back!"

"No matter how hard it is, I must fight! I must show the national prestige of the Great Jin Dynasty! Fight for a bright future!"

"You are gone, and my father and uncles are gone too. They all died on the battlefield. You We have never retreated!"

"Now there are still people in the Song family, and I will never retreat."

"But grandpa, these old subordinates and old brothers of yours are all marquises and earls. They have big families and big businesses. It is normal for them to be afraid. Don't blame them."

Hearing this, Hu Weihou finally couldn't help it and shouted: "Wu Zi! You can say anything! This sentence is not allowed!"

"What do you mean we are afraid? We have fought with the old marshal for decades, and we have countless wounds on our bodies. When have we ever been afraid?"

Others also spoke up. They didn't dare to carry the word "afraid".

Song Wu said: "Uncles, don't get excited. We are old and have lived a comfortable life for too long. After all, we are not the military commanders we used to be. It is normal to be afraid. It is not shameful."

"Asshole!"

Marquis Yongguan was so anxious that he cursed and said loudly: "You stinky boy, you deliberately brought us to the old marshal to mock us, right!"

"I tell you, we haven't fought for a long time, but we will always be military commanders. If you talk nonsense again, I will teach you a lesson for the old marshal!"

Song Wu turned around and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid? Then fight! Tomorrow's court! You must stand up and support!"

Marquis Yongguan said: "No! It's not that we are afraid! But this battle should not be fought!"

Song Wu stood up and said loudly: "What shouldn't be fought? Should we watch Liaodong being invaded? Should we watch the Han people outside the pass being slaughtered?"

"When you followed my grandfather to fight, did you fight a battle that you shouldn't have fought? Have you ever been angry? Have you ever been impulsive?"

"Could it be that those It's wrong. "He clenched his fist and yelled:" I don't know! Not tame, not a good boy, but now the Song family is left. I should stand up and take a little thing. Thinking about the old love, and holding me Song Wu as his son, he supports me.
