    "Urgent report from the border! Urgent report from the border! General Wei Qing defeated the Huns and gained level 400!" On the streets of Chang'an, a knight in bright red armor flew past. Hong Ling, who was carrying four red flags, held up a token in his hand.  Passers-by on both sides took the initiative to move aside to allow the envoy to pass.  ¡Ý Liu An came back from a walk in Dongshi carrying his Myna cage. He glanced at Hong Ling who was walking away and shook his head urgently: "Winning level 400 is also a great victory?" Passers-by whispered: "General Wei has finally seen success.  "I heard that this trip is not easy." "Which one is easier? It's easier to sleep at home. The problem is that no one cares about having enough food. It's not easy for anyone to go out and work hard." "Hey! Don't talk nonsense.  It seems wrong to say that the Northern Army has been out for more than two months, and the gains have been ignored. " "Who said otherwise? Normally, the Huns were killed by us.  The Huns slaves captured from the north were trembling like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Just now, the Huns started to raise their tails again. " "I think the Huns just need to be disciplined. I have to have a general like Pingyang Hou to specially control them  " "Shhhh! You're going to die, that person can't say anything casually." The voices of the few suddenly dropped, and they looked around furtively, as if they were afraid of being caught by the spies hiding in the corner.  He hid under the shade of a tree and let Liu An pass by. Liu An waited patiently for a while before coming out. Those people had already disappeared without a trace.  "It doesn't look like something is right!" Liu An put away the birdcage and walked home with concern. Several neighborhood friends who often drank tea and chatted together to chat, and their words revealed the intention to inquire about the court's news.  He also knew that there were always some relatives of Chang'an residents serving in the army, and the Northern Army's 100,000 horsemen came all the way out of the frontier to fight against the Huns.  It is impossible for a relative not to worry.  This has nothing to do with which general leads the troops, it is purely the elders' personal concern for perfection.  No matter which general is in command, he must do everything possible to find out the news from the court, especially when the battle report from Hong Ling's urgent envoy arrives in Chang'an. According to the usual practice, the accompanying secret report must include detailed losses. This is the major event that the residents of Chang'an are most concerned about.  .  Liu An hurriedly said a few words, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he saw his wife, eldest son Liu Qian, and daughter-in-law Ding chatting with their daughter Liu Ling. When the four of them saw Liu An coming back, they quickly came over to salute.  "Ling'er! Do you remember that Chang'an has a family called the Hou Mansion? My father and your mother are worried about you all day long, so you don't know how to understand the feelings of our two old people." "Okay, okay, don't talk about the child.  It's not easy for Ling'er to come back. " His wife's persuasion made Liu An give up his plan to continue preaching. He sat down and remembered what happened on the street and asked: "I just urgently reported that Wei Qing had won and beheaded more than 400 levels.  Will there be any action from Longxi County? " "Ah, General Wei won! I don't know much about border affairs, I just know that the generals of the Han army are very powerful." Liu Qian said dissatisfied.  Complained: "Sister, please stop playing tricks on your own family. Isn't that bad?" Several eyes fell on Liu Ling's impeccable expression. Madam Hou immediately lowered her face and reprimanded: "How can you kid say that about your sister?"  , We have a few people in the family who know the border military affairs, so don¡¯t embarrass your sister.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t blame my brother. He is also impatient. My son has only been in Longxi County for a short time, and he doesn¡¯t know much about the situation there.  "Progress, I guess there won't be any big mistakes." Liu Ling's ambiguous response was impeccable.  The two women nodded repeatedly, but actually said nothing.  Liu An sighed and said: "You kid has always had good ideas since you were a child. You will do whatever I don't let you do. When I first had that idea, you were clamoring to help me solve my problems. You are only a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid.  You went to stir up trouble in the deep pool in Chang'an, the capital. Now that I think about it, my father is still surprised by your courage at that time. Your innocence and life will be lost if you make a mistake. " "Daddy, when did you become sentimental?  "Don't mention the old things anymore. I am living a good life now. I have no worries about food and clothing, nor lack of friends or goals in life. This kind of life is what I dream of." In a short moment, Liu Ling said.  The desire and expectation for a better life burst out in his eyes.  Liu Qian snorted and said angrily: "It's that person again. Your clever life fell into the hands of such a yellow-tongued man. Do you lose or not?" "I recently heard from my mother that my brother had reined in his evil ways and returned to the right way. I haven't missed him for more than half a year.  Huajieliuxiang, I think your sister-in-law has given you good control and your mother¡¯s comfort is appropriate, father, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Mrs. Hou and the Crown Prince¡¯s wife Ding turned their eyes at the same time and gave Liu Qian a fierce look, and the latter shrank in fear.  He stood up like a little quail and dared not move. He wanted to glare at his sister but was frightened by two patrols.He glanced around like a soldier but remained as motionless as a wooden sculpture made of clay.  Liu An shook his head. His eldest son Liu Qian had never been a worry-free child. He was almost 30 years old and still acted like a carefree prince, but he didn't look like a serious prince. If Liu Ling hadn't paid money to the prince's mansion regularly every month, he would have  He maintained the lavish spending habits of the Crown Prince, and the Huainan Marquis Mansion would be completely ruined by him within twenty years.  Obviously, the poor life in the Hou Mansion attracted the attention of the Hou Mansion and Mrs. Hou Shizi, who were in charge of the accounts. The biggest shortfall came from the Hou Shizi Liu Qian himself. 50% of the money spent was sent to Huajieliuxiang and the hidden outer room in Chang'an City.  Mrs. Hou couldn't stand her son's failure to live up to expectations, so she made up her mind to punish his habit of spending money indiscriminately.  Liu Qian felt extremely miserable. First, he was banned from leaving the Marquis's Mansion for three months. Then, he was stared at by a bunch of servants and maids when he left the Marquis' Mansion. Even his own mother and wife took turns taking turns to watch him in a car. Whenever he saw him going  If you drill in places you shouldn't go, it won't take a moment to cause a big fuss in the powder field and make Liu Qian lose face. It has to be said that it is a miracle that he can force the dignified Huainan Hou Shizi to be unable to move by this method.  "Sister Ling'er doesn't know. Your brother has been doing very well for almost a year. He will be invited to attend the gatherings of the princes every now and then. The Queen Mother also hosts banquets for the clan members every month. Our Huainan Marquis Mansion is a clan clan.  The high-ranking people here are qualified to sit in the front row. Zong Zheng, whose father has been promoted to one of the Nine Ministers, is very famous. Your brother can also show his face in such a big occasion." Mrs. Ding chirped about what happened half a month ago.  During the banquet, he also specifically mentioned that he saw the emperor personally toasting to the Queen Mother in Changle Palace and wishing the Queen Mother good health for her 50th birthday next month. Thousands of people from the clan came to the Queen Mother of the Republic. The scene was not to mention how spectacular it was.  It was just to show off how impressive his family was, and he saw some precious flowers in the palace. I heard that they were obtained from the Dian Kingdom and were treasures.  Liu Ling allowed his sister-in-law Ding to talk eloquently. It was impossible for his sister-in-law and his sister-in-law not to have some intrigues with the Dou family. Earlier when their family was still the king of Huainan, his sister-in-law Ding was a doormat, and the crown prince Liu Qian  Ding was fed up with her father-in-law, Liu An, who spent all day living and drinking without caring about the love of the couple. Her father-in-law, Liu An, was obsessed with plotting to usurp the throne and become the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Ling was also away all year round, building connections and allies for the King of Huainan.  Now the status of the family has been reduced a lot, but Ding's status in the family has been greatly improved. At least her ancestor was one of the founding princes of the country. Coupled with the intrigues in the family that she has honed over the years, the family is really in trouble.  All the little things were smoothed out, and Liu Ling admired her skills for this alone.  After a while, Liu Qian couldn't bear his wife's small talk and stood up to leave. Ding was forced to get up and leave with her husband-in-law. Before leaving, she didn't forget to hold Liu Ling's hand and say that she could continue chatting about the latest news in Chang'an when she was free.  "Your sister-in-law is not evil-minded, don't take it to heart." Liu Ling wrinkled her little nose and scolded: "Mom, what are you talking about? Does your daughter seem to be someone who blames others?" "Yes, my Ling'er has the best heart.  Come on, listen to mother and let¡¯s not go to Longxi County, okay?¡± Mrs. Hou said, holding her daughter¡¯s hand.  "Mom, don't embarrass my daughter. There is a sweetheart of my daughter in Longxi County." Mrs. Hou lamented: "What do you think, silly boy? If he is an unmarried man of the right age, even if he is poor and has no food and clothing, my mother will support you to marry her to the death, but  That man has a family, his wife is the eldest princess of the dynasty, and his young wife is the eldest sister of Mrs. Wei who is the most favored by the people today. There will be no good results in your bitter love for that man. " Liu Ling frowned.  Locking her head deeply, she shook her head lightly and said: "My daughter understands what you said, but my daughter thinks about him every day and every night. Mother, you don't know that I almost died several times in South Vietnam, especially when I got sick and had a high fever.  At that time, it was he who stayed in the barbarian tribe to take care of my recovery. If he hadn't worked hard to lead me to the jungle to save my life, my daughter's life would have become a cup of loess in the jungle. " "The stupid kid said stupid things again.  Mom, I see how depressed you are and worry about how bad your life is. I think you are twenty-two years old this year. Half of your prime years have passed. How many more years can you wait until the sun flies by?  It passed in a blink of an eye. Your father and I are both elderly people, and we don¡¯t have many good years to live. Your younger brother and sister agreed to get married when they were fifteen or sixteen, and your father and I  What I'm most worried about is what will happen to your child if he has a strong nature? " Mrs. Hou's eyes were flashing with tears. People say that children cannot grow up because of their mothers. She feels that this is not accurate. It should be that children cannot grow up after their mothers.  Liu Ling took his mother's hand and said: "Father, mother, your daughter knows that you are worried. My daughter is coming back this time to tell the two old people that he is finally going to fight for his life, and that his daughter's good life depends on him."  On his body, his daughter was thinking that she might one day follow him and escape from Chang'an.At that time, the daughter will take the two elders over and enjoy happiness together.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
