If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

In the morning court session of the next day, each court official had his own plans. After many rounds of bargaining, the commander-in-chief of the troops to support Liuzhou Prefecture finally fell into the hands of Situ Yidong's biological brother Situ Yixu. He led an urgent march of 20,000 troops and set off three days later, followed by a baggage troop carrying various military supplies.

Three thousand troops were drawn from various prefectures along the way to join the forced march, and the eunuchs who were to deliver the imperial edict had already ridden fast to the various prefectures to announce the order.

In this way, by the time they arrive at Liuzhou Prefecture, the first batch of support troops will reach 60,000 people.

In the study of Patriarch Situ, three generations of people in power were discussing the expedition.

"Xu'er, do you know why your father and I insisted on having you become the head coach this time?" The old patriarch Situ looked at his eldest grandson who was sitting at the bottom with a calm face, breaking the silence in the study.

Situ Yixu, who was named by his grandfather, suddenly raised his head and met his grandfather's gaze. "Grandfather and father want me to use this opportunity to train myself and then gain a firm foothold in the army?"

"That's one of them. Keep going."

"Because my second brother is in Liuzhou Prefecture?" Situ Yixu pondered for a moment and then continued.

"anything else?"

This time, Situ Yixu lowered his head and thought for a long time before looking at the old Patriarch Situ again, "Please rest assured, Grandfather, Sun Xin will do his best to protect the safety of the Queen and the Princess!"

Hearing this, the old head of the Situ family and his son nodded in unison, "Xu'er, you grew up in the army. What you lack now is practical experience. You must understand that a general who has never been to the battlefield is not a real general. Only through the baptism of war can he grow." The head of the Situ family said, stroking his beard.

Situ Yixu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. A sense of joy and anticipation burst out from him, and his voice trembled a little: "What does father mean?"

Seeing his proud son's happy expression, Patriarch Situ couldn't help but smile. He turned his head to look at Patriarch Situ, then met his son's eager gaze and said, "When you return triumphantly this time, the Imperial Guard will be handed over to you."

"Yes, thank you, father. I will not let you down!" Situ Yixu replied excitedly. He had wanted to go to the Imperial Guard Camp for a long time. How could he not be excited when he finally got what he wanted? !

Patriarch Situ coughed lightly, interrupting the excitement of the father and son, "Xu'er, it's good to have confidence, but this battle is not as easy as you imagined. You have to be aware of this."

Hearing this, Situ Yixu immediately suppressed his excitement, sat up straight, and solemnly expressed his feelings. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren began to discuss the specific tactical arrangements.

That night, the light in the study of Master Situ was on until late at night.

Before dawn the next day, a team of more than 10,000 people, each with two fast horses, quietly left the camp from the imperial guard camp five miles away from the capital, took advantage of the dark moon before dawn, chose a sparsely populated path, and rushed towards the direction of Liuzhou Prefecture.

Two days later, the spies sent by the Yin Kingdom saw that the head of the Situ family and his son Situ Yixu went out early and returned late every day according to the originally agreed time. They rode to the Imperial Guard Camp to count the troops and arrange the expedition.

Time passed quickly, and it was the last night before Situ Yixu went on the expedition. On this day, the head of the Situ family and his son came back a little earlier than the previous two days, and they arrived at the door of their home before the sun set.

Just as he was about to step into the gate of Situ Mansion, a figure rushed out from the mansion and almost bumped into Situ Yixu.

"What happened that makes you so panicked?" After seeing that the person coming was the usually calm butler Situ, Situ Yixu asked with a frown.

"Ah, Master, Young Master, you are back! I am sorry for being rude!" Steward Situ saw that he had almost caused trouble, and while he was in a hurry to apologize to the two, he was also relieved in his heart, "You are back just in time, I was just about to go to the military camp to look for you."

"What happened?" This time even the head of the Situ family couldn't help but speak. The two of them felt nervous when they heard that. They were about to go to war, and they didn't want anything to happen at this time.

After hearing this, Steward Situ realized that he had not explained things clearly due to his haste, which led to misunderstanding between the two. He wiped his face hastily and said with a smile, "Look, this old servant is so happy that he is confused. Congratulations, Young Master! Congratulations, Young Madam is pregnant!"

"Ah?! Are you serious?"

Seeing the two people standing there in a daze, Steward Situ hurriedly led them to the inner courtyard, "You two, follow me quickly. The old master and the old lady are now in the eldest young master's courtyard."

When the confused father and son followed the housekeeper Situ into the courtyard where Situ Yixu and his wife lived, they saw the old master and the old lady of the Situ family sitting on chairs in the house, looking lovingly at the eldest lady Situ who was sitting on the low couch. Madam Situ was listening attentively to the advice of the court doctor.

"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Why don't you go and see your wife?" Seeing Situ Jia Yixu standing at the door and not taking a step forward, the old head of the Situ family glared and shouted.

Before the two people at the door could react, Madam Situ, who was sitting next to him, became unhappy first. She raised her hand and slapped him hard, "You old man, why are you so loud? I won't forgive you for scaring my dear! Humph!"

He turned around and looked at Situ Yixu who was still standing at the door in a daze, feeling a little disappointed, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why don't you go check on your wife?!"

Upon hearing this, Situ Yixu looked at his grandparents, then turned to look at his father standing beside him, and his mother who had stopped talking to the court doctor and was looking at him with a smile, then he turned his gaze to his wife lying on the low couch.

He had never dared to think that he could be a father again. He was already very satisfied with having a son and a daughter. He never expected that his wife would give him such a big surprise before going to the war.

Half-kneeling in front of the low couch, Situ Yixu held his wife's right hand on her side with one hand, gently brushed away the scattered hair on her forehead with the other hand, and leaned over to give her a kiss.

When he turned around, Situ Yixu's eyes, which were always calm and wise, were already filled with tears. The old Patriarch Situ and others had quietly left at some point, leaving the space to the young couple.

"Ahe, thank you for your hard work." Situ Yixu held his wife's right hand and choked up.

Mrs. Situ leaned slightly to the side, raised her left hand and stroked her husband's cheek. Suddenly, her palm felt warm and a tear flowed down her fingertips into her palm, and also flowed into her heart, warming the rest of her life.

Seeing her husband showing his emotions for the first time in more than ten years of marriage, Mrs. Situ smiled softly, "For you and for our family, I am not suffering. I am happy to be pregnant with your child again."

"only......"

At this time, Situ Yidong's unfinished words were interrupted by the nanny outside the room.
