Chu Xiuming also looked down and saw Dongdong's eyes widening and his mouth kept rising. As if he was eating something, his saliva flowed out. Chen Jin took a cotton cloth and wiped his saliva off, "You can't eat it." The thick gloating, Chen Jin laughed.

"Yaya." Dongdong looked at his mother innocently, "Yayayaya."

"I can't eat it." Chen Jin pointed some of the little nose and sat back in his seat with a smile.

Dongdong twisted his little head, "Yaa?"

Chu Xiuming was so amazed that he shook his son gently, and then continued to eat. Dongdong opened his mouth and kept squirming, but because he didn't cry anymore in Chu Xiuming's arms, he just screamed in grievance from time to time.

After Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin finished their meal, Dongdong was already asleep again.

Because he returned to the border town, even Chu Xiuming relaxed a lot and chose a wet nurse to help Chen Jin take care of the children, so Chen Jin could finally have a good sleep at night. However, because he had become accustomed to this period of time, both Chu Xiuming and Chen Jin woke up several times at night and gradually recovered.

Compared with Chu Xiuming and Chen Jin, the situation in Shuzhong is much more serious, and those anti-civilian offer prices are getting higher and higher, and even asked Emperor Cheng to be the king of the people who took the lead in the anti-civilians. Shuzhong is his fiefdom and is not ruled by the Tianqi Dynasty. He openly demanded the establishment of a country and China. Now even the ministers can't help it. They have written countless letters to demand severe punishment, and many people even cursed in their hearts that if the second prince really has some backbone, it would be better if he committed suicide.

In the capital, many things are inconvenient. Even Chu Xiuming is not well-versed in the news. After arriving at the border city, some news is probably one step ahead of Emperor Cheng.

In the study of the General's Mansion, Chu Xiuming looked at General Manager Wang and Manager Zhao and said, "I am going to lead troops to patrol the border again. This time I will take Xiuyuan to go together."

"Things to do the city over there..." General Manager Wang frowned and asked. If Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan were neither in the border city, there would be no one who would make the decision.

Some time ago, Chu Xiuming was assisting Chu Xiuyuan in the capital. Although they were doing more things, some things that were difficult to deal with were rushed to the capital for Chu Xiuming to make a decision, but it was like having to take charge of his own person, which seemed to have a backbone.

"I'm going to hand it over to my wife." Chu Xiuming said what he had thought of long ago, "You guys come and assist the wife."

Manager Zhao heard this and said, "Okay."

Mr. Wang thought of Chen Jin's performance when the barbarians besieged the city at that time, and hesitated for a moment and nodded. Chu Xiuming looked at the two people and said, "I will leave next month, so I will make some arrangements during this period."

It was the first time Chen Xi came to a place like a border town. He was born and raised in the capital. He had never seen such a scene before. When he went out with Chu Xiuyuan for the first time, he saw people coming and going on the street, and he seemed casual but respectful to Chu Xiuyuan, and was shocked, "No wonder people in the capital say that the people in the border town are fierce."

Chu Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Because it's not tough, my sister-in-law especially likes the wontons in this store, so you can try them too."

Chen Xi had never used anything in such a place, but he also knew the four words of following the local customs. He was taught very well by Princess Rui and said, "Okay."

Chu Xiuyuan took Chen Xi to find an empty seat and skillfully ordered two bowls of wontons. "I will have to eat rice when I get home later, just try it."

Chen Xi nodded. The boss also knew Chu Xiuyuan. He quickly brought their wontons up. Seeing Chen Xi smiled, "Is this the wife's younger brother? She looks so handsome."

Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Yes, I will bring him to your place to try."

"Hahaha, my wife loves eating my wontons. I wonder how the young master is?" the boss said happily.

Chu Xiuyuan said, "Sister-in-law has been talking about it these days, but because the child is too young, he can't leave it."

The boss said after hearing this, "I'll decorate my wife with wontons and soup base later, and take them back, and you can eat them after cooking."

"I'll ask the people in the mansion to come and get it later. I didn't bring anyone out today." Chu Xiuyuan smiled. The boss agreed and did not delay their food, so he went to work hard again.

Looking at Chen Xi's shocked eyes, Chu Xiuyuan explained, "My sister-in-law is also familiar with these people."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "It's still free here." If there was no threat from the barbarians, he would have wanted to take his mother and sister over.

The two of them didn't say anything else and lowered their heads to eat. When they got back, the boss did not collect the money. They repeatedly reminded Chu Xiuyuan to remember to let someone come and get the things.

On the way back, Chu Xiuyuan said, "Actually, the atmosphere here will be like this, because when the war is really fought, both men, women, young and old will have to kill the enemy."

Chen Xi felt that it seemed to have subverted all his cognitions over the past decade. Chu Xiuyuan said, "Do you know why these people like their sister-in-law so much?"

"I don't know." Chen Xi also discovered that when he saw them, someone would often ask about Chen Jin. The respect and closeness in his eyes could not be faked.

Chu Xiuyuan whispered, "I'm afraid my sister-in-law hasn't told you that when my sister-in-law first got married, my brother led his troops outside. At that time, the barbarians besieged the city. We resisted for a long time. The soldiers guarding the city were almost killed or injured. It was all the people in the city who went up to kill the enemy together. I was seriously injured... It was my sister-in-law who stood up at that time." Chu Xiuyuan pointed to the city wall in the distance, "Stand there. Later we all thought we couldn't wait for my brother. There was a shelter in the mansion, so my sister-in-law let the children in the city hide in and handed the princess's seal and other tokens to the children..."

These things have only been gone, so they are still vivid in their minds at this time. Chu Xiuyuan's tone did not have any ups and downs, but he just said it straightforwardly. However, Chen Xi was stunned and could not imagine the danger and the appearance of Chen Jin at that time. Chu Xiuyuan continued, "At that time, there was not much food and grass in the city, and those that were easy to swallow were left to the wounded. My sister-in-law followed us to eat bran and took care of the wounded every day... Finally, my brother came back."

"The court did not send reinforcements?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.

Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said nothing. During the period when Chu Xiuming left, Chu Xiuyuan also grew a lot.

Seeing this, Chen Xi thought of Princess Rui's words, and forced himself to stop asking questions. When he returned to the gate of the general's mansion, he saw a servant waiting. He said, "Major General, General, please come over."

Chu Xiuyuan nodded, "I'll go find my brother first, you..."

"I'll go see my third sister." Chen Xi looked up at the three words "General's Mansion". He was in a mess now, and Chu Xiuming obviously had something to do, so what he could find now was Chen Jin.

Chu Xiuyuan responded, waved his hand and ordered people to go to the wonton stall to get things, and then left first.

When Chen Xi saw Chen Jin, he saw Chen Jin looking at Xiaobudian and Dongdong lying on the stall. Xiaobudian's tail was facing Dongdong. When Dongdong reached out to grab it, Xiaobudian shook it, so that Dongdong could not catch it. Chen Jin kept laughing. Even Mama Zhao and the others did not stop it, but instead paid attention, such as tying a bell to Xiaobudian's tail.

Looking at Chen Jin like this, Chen Xi always felt that he could not put it with Chen Jin in Chu Xiuyuan's mouth.

Chen Jin also saw Chen Xi and said with a smile, "Brother Xi, come and see it, it's so fun."

Chen Xi was a little amused and crying. Madam Zhao saw that Chen Xi was in trouble, so she took the initiative to say, "Madam, the young master is afraid he is tired too. The old slave takes him back to rest."

"Okay." Chen Jin responded with a smile.

Madam Zhao picked up Dongdong, Chen Jin patted the little dog's head and said, "Okay, I'll tell the kitchen to cook a beef bone for you tomorrow."

"Aowu." Xiao Budian screamed, shook his tail and left.

Chen Xi then said, "Sister Three, I want to ask you some things."

"Okay." Chen Jin stood up with Anping's hand, then put on his shoes and said, "Let's go outside and sit there? The room is a bit hot."

Chen Xi nodded, and the two walked to the pavilion outside. After sitting down, Anping brought tea and pastries. Chen Jin asked, "What's the matter?"

"My mother told me that I had something I didn't know and I didn't understand, and I asked my third sister and my third brother-in-law." Chen Xi said.

Chen Jin took a sip of the iced sour plum soup and said, "Yeah, ask."

Chen Xi didn't know where to ask, until he finished drinking a cup of sour plum soup, he said, "Didn't the court send reinforcements?"

Chen Jin was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Xi with some confusion. Chen Xi said when he saw this, "It wasn't long before the third sister had just married, and the barbarians surrounded the city."

"Oh." Chen Jin thought, "No."

Chen Xi asked, "Why?"

"Because Your Majesty doesn't want to save us." Chen Jin answered for granted.

But this answer made Chen Xi stunned. He actually guessed these things vaguely, but he didn't expect Chen Jin to answer this directly. His face turned pale and he still said unacceptably, "But isn't this the frontier of Apocalypse? If the city is really broken, it means that the barbarians will march straight in."

"Yes." Chen Jin poured Chen Xi a cup of sour plum soup again and said, "Don't be afraid, it's over."

Chen Xi wanted to say that he was not afraid, but he didn't know what to say. He drank it all in one gulp with sour plum soup. Chen Jin said, "I'm afraid in Your Majesty's heart, it's more important to get rid of his husband than to break the city by the barbarians."

"Is it really good to tell me like this?" Chen Xi didn't know what to say, and asked after a long time.

Chen Jin glanced at Chen Xi in confusion, "But wasn't you asking me? And since the mother said that to you, she didn't mean to hide it from you."

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and thought of what his mother said before leaving, and seemed to understand a little, but it made him a little unable to accept it.

"The great achievements shocked the master..." Chen Xi murmured.

Chen Jin laughed and said nothing. In fact, Chen Jin always felt that killing heroes with the reason of working hard is a very cowardly act. It may also be because of Chu Xiuming that people's hearts are inevitably biased.

Chen Xi pursed her lips and said, "That third brother-in-law..." Chen Xi couldn't even say what happened next.

Chen Jin understood and said with certainty, "No." Even if Chu Xiuming really did something, Chen Jin believed that the Shen family would be the one who would be the last person to take the throne.

Chen Xi then breathed a sigh of relief. He was good at Prince Rui's mansion and knew a little about something. He would not ask why his third brother-in-law did not hand over military power. If he really did, Emperor Cheng would not allow Chu Xiuming to survive. What's more, except Chu Xiuming, Chen Xi really couldn't think of anyone who could guard the border, "By the way, where is Cousin Ru Yang?"

"Do you want to see them?" Chen Jin looked at Chen Xi and asked.

Chen Xi thought for a while and nodded, "I want to see them."

"Then I'll let someone take you there tomorrow." Chen Jin had no intention of stopping him.

Chen Xi responded. He was very confused now. He was even more dizzy than when he came. Chen Jin looked at him for a long time and found that Chen Xi was in a daze. Then he looked at An Ning and said, "Let me find someone to guard him. I want to go back to accompany me."

"Yes." An Ning responded.

Chen Jin no longer cared about Chen Xi. After all, such a big brother is not as cute as a soft son.

When Chen Xi came to his senses, Chen Jin was no longer there, but he was not in the mood to say anything else. Instead, Chen Jin told Chu Xiuming about Chen Xi in the evening. Chu Xiuming arranged for Yue Wen to take Chen Xi to meet Princess Zhaoyang and the others early the next morning. After seeing Princess Zhaoyang and his group back, Chen Xi locked himself in the room for several days before he went to see Chen Jin again and asked, "Three sister, do you know the situation of Cousin Zhaoyang and the others?"

"I know." Chen Jin didn't know why Chen Xi asked such a question, and said, "I told my brother Yuan to do this."

Chen Xi looked at his third sister with a puzzled look in amazement, especially his third sister's eyes clearly asking him, is there any problem?

"It's not good to do this." Chen Xi hesitated and said.

Chen Jin asked, "Why isn't it good?"

Chen Xi couldn't say it anymore, Chen Jin asked again, "Those people have food, clothes and books every day. I heard that they have gained a lot of weight. Do they have any other needs?"

Such a natural attitude actually made Chen Xi feel that it would be too much for him to make any requests for them. Chen Xi took a deep breath and said, "I understand what my mother means, I figured it out in my third sister."

"Oh." Chen Jin became even more confused, not knowing what Chen Xi was thinking.

Chen Xi said, "Don't worry, third sister! I will never betray my third brother-in-law! I will not inform the capital, nor will I let my third sister down on my trust in me."

Chen Jin blinked, "Oh, I've never been worried."

Chen Xi said with a touched face, "Sister, I'll go find my third brother-in-law now. I'm going to train with the soldiers."

"Oh." Chen Jin responded, watched Chen Xi run away, and looked at Madam Zhao for no reason, "What is Brother Xi here to do? But it's better for him to go and practice more."

"Has my wife really been worried?" asked Madam Zhao.

Chen Jin nodded and said, "No, without his husband's consent, he would not be able to send news to the capital. Why should he worry?"

Madam Zhao slowly let out a breath, and it turns out that some truth is still hidden.
