Chapter 866: It's Time to Settle the Score

m afraid I won't have time.""Alright, sigh. Let me take you home first, and I'll take you out to play tomorrow."Fu Jiujiu remembered the coachman's words, Wu Jie said it was all for her that she fough...When the new year was coming to an end, Fu Sanjin's leg had recovered to normal, just like before.

Jiang Yao's belly was also rounded, spring examinations were coming soon. If Fu Liujing passed the exam, the Fu family would be even more joyous.

Fu Jiujiu was naturally delighted here as well. Watching her parents keep pulling her third brother around, she knew they weren't uncaring towards their older brothers. Though they did scold them from time to time.

There are few parents who don't love their children; it's just that the ways they express it differ.

Their thoughts are that their son is a man, he should be strong and brave.

"Not bad, everything's fine. Just like before. Doesn't it hurt anymore" Tian Guihua's hair had a few more silver strands. This was all thanks to the nourishment of the spring water, otherwise, she'd be completely gray by now.

"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore, not one bit."

Jiang Yao also said from the side: "Thanks to my younger sister, otherwise, it wouldn't be able to recover like this."

Fujujiao laughed, "Then Third Sister-in-law has to thank me well."

"Yes, when you get married after returning home, your third sister-in-law will definitely give you more makeup."

Fujujiao cleared her throat, "How did this topic come up again"

"Why are you still shy You're fifteen now, it's been a year. If you don't get married this year, you should next year. You're not in a hurry, but I think King Jin can't wait any longer. He's been waiting for so many years."

Jiang Yao smiled, saying that under Fu Sanjin's protection, she had become much more cheerful now.

Today everyone is gathered here because Fu Dajin will be leaving in a few days. Although the capital city is good, their business isn't here.

"Speaking of which, why isn't King Jin here today"

Fu Jiujiu shrugged, "I heard he was summoned to the palace early this morning. He should be coming."

"King Jin is capable, intelligent, and highly valued by the Emperor."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, "What's the use of being valued There's still a prince above, isn't there I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if our little sister could become empress."

"You old folks, your mouths are always running off!" Tian Guihua scolded coldly.

Zhou didn't get angry and quickly compensated with a smile, "Mother, there isn't an outsider in here, is there I was just saying, it would be great if Tang Qi could become the Crown Prince."

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't speak carelessly like this." Xie Ying said.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to say anything more. Can't I even eat in peace" Zhou Shi didn't really have bad intentions, but these words were inappropriate even without an audience.

When Tang Xian came, it was almost noon. Although he acted as usual, Fu Jiujiu could tell that something was bothering him.

But she wouldn't dare ask in front of everyone.

Everyone was gathered together, lively and cheerful, although it was a parting, there wasn't much sadness.

"Big brother, if you're going back, tell Yuanping that if he wants to come back, he should just come back!" Fu Sanjin always felt guilty towards Song Yuanping.

People's parents gave their child to him, but he let the child become disabled.

"Well, you're in a position of power now, able to protect him. That boy has suffered enough being out in the countryside." Fu Dajin nodded. "It's not about the money."

When it came to the time of Song Yuanping, Tang Xian's eyes flickered, as if he had something to say but ultimately held back.

We are setting off tomorrow, brothers. It's a rare occasion to have some drinks together. The bright moon has also had its share. Right now, we are all pretty drunk and having a wild time there, pouring ourselves drinks freely.

Everyone went back to their houses in twos and threes. Fu Jiujiu looked at Tang Xian, whose face was slightly flushed, "Did the Emperor call you over for something"

Tang Xian nodded, not knowing if it was because he had drunk too much, but there was a hint of laziness in his demeanor.

"What's the matter" Fu Jiujiu asked.

"Nan Yu and Dong Qi have been getting closer recently." Tang Xian turned her head to look at her, pinching her cheek.

Fu Jiujiu swatted away his paw that was causing trouble, "Is it time for another war"

Tang Xian slightly lowered her eyes, knowing she didn't like fighting and killing. What did he want to do

But that's how things are between nations: they form alliances because of interest, and wage wars because of interest.

"Is it Dong Qi joining forces with Nan Yu" Fu Jiujiao asked.

"That should be right, Nan Yu is in front and Dong Qi is behind."

"Haven't Dong Qi and we always been keeping to ourselves, like water from different wells doesn't mix" Fu Jiujiu asked.

"We have given the Northern Wastes so many things, and we are close to them. They are worried, so they want to strike first."

Fu Jiujiu took a deep breath, "So, Xi Lin sending over a princess this time has further deepened the unease between the two nations."

"My little girl, how come you're so smart!" Tang Xian sighed. "If only you were a little less intelligent, you wouldn't be so troubled."

"Probably so. I thought it was strange that Xilin came to see the family proactively, even if he didn't even get a princess. Now it seems like he was doing it for Nan Yu's sake."

Tang Xian's focused and serious analytical look was truly captivating. "Nanyang's grudge against us is impossible to resolve, he must have used some unknown tactic to persuade Dong Qi, so both empires are massing troops on the border, a war might break out at any moment.”

Fu Jiujiu doesn't really understand matters between countries. Those weren't things she ever considered in her past life.

She gently rubbed the man's brow with her hand. He was truly much more mature now, his thoughts surpassing hers.

"Are you going on a campaign" Fu Jiujiu asked.

Tang Xian nodded. "It's not just me, but also General Gao. We will divide our forces and fight separately."

"If my godfather is going, doesn't that mean my third older brother has to go too" Fu Jiaojiao asked.

If you don't want to, I can tell Father and ask Third Brother...

"I'm going!" Fu Sijin suddenly appeared at the door.

He was originally coming back to get something, but he heard two people talking about this matter.

"The grudge of a broken leg, and Yuan Ping's revenge for a severed finger, how can I not retaliate Tang Qi, I know you have good intentions, but how could I possibly be a turtle hiding in its shell right now"

Fu Sanjin spoke earnestly.

Fujujju was now in a predicament, wondering why they all had to go.

"Tang Qi Gege, why are you going"

Uncle and third brother are generals, fighting is their duty.

Ke Tangxian, wasn't he Emperor Chengde's favorite son

How could he bear to let his own son go to the battlefield

“It was my own decision to go.” Tang Xian said, “Jiu Jiu, please rest assured, I will definitely return safely. This time, Nan Yu won’t just be fighting back.”

Fu Jiujiu looked into his eyes, and she already understood.

Nanyang, this time it seems the country is going to be destroyed.

However, even if Li Chao were to be exceptionally strong, swallowing an entire country wouldn't be that easy.

"I'll go with you." Fu Jiujiao said.

She speculated that Tang Xian wanted to go in person because Nan Yu should have some evidence of Tang Xiu.

After all, ten years ago, Tang Xiu had wandered around Nan Yu.

"I'll go with you," she said again.

Don't even mention Tang Xian, Fu Sanjin also refused. "Jiu Jiu, going there will distract Tang Qiufen. Listen to me, stay home and don't worry us."

Tang Xian also nodded, "This time, I must get revenge for you."
