Chapter 640 War resumes
The turmoil caused by the house confiscation incident was not small, and the officials in Zhongzhou were all panic-stricken. It was not until November came when replacement officials began to arrive one after another that everyone slowly recovered.
Yanfu.
Looking at the maid clearing the snow in the courtyard, Daohua was stunned for a while, and then began to immerse herself in processing the medicinal materials.
Wang Man'er, Gu Yu, and Li Xia were on hand to help.
Wang Man'er: "Girl, do we need to prepare so many pills?"
Daohua Pharmaceutical's hand paused: "Be prepared."
I originally thought that Xiao Yeyang, his third brother, and his fourth brother would come back to rest for a while after successfully completing their errands. Unexpectedly, after returning from the provincial capital, they became even busier.
Both brothers haven't been home for several days.
This makes Daohua a little worried.
She can only help them with things outside. She can only prepare more ginseng tonic pills, narcotic pills, fragrant pills, and common medicines for them.
Daohua's worries were quickly confirmed. In the evening of that day, Yan Zhigao went to the office and told his family worriedly that war had broken out again in northern Xinjiang.
"How could it be?! Didn't Xia Teng's army push back the main Tatar army a few months ago?" Daohua looked surprised.
Yan Zhigao shook his head: "The specific reason is not clear yet, but the Tatars are back again."
After all, Northern Xinjiang is relatively far away. Even if a war breaks out, everyone's lives will not be affected. After hearing this, they just sigh a little and forget about it.
However, in mid-November, the troops stationed at Ningmen Pass began to be transferred to northern Xinjiang, and everyone gradually realized that the war in northern Xinjiang might be tense.
"What are you talking about? Are you going to Northern Xinjiang again?"
In the main courtyard, Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li sat at the top, while Yan Wenxiu and Daohua sat at the bottom. The four of them looked at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao in surprise.
Yan Zhi raised his eyebrows: "What is it for this time?"
Yan Wentao said: "The sudden resumption of fighting in northern Xinjiang is because the Eight Kings and the Tatars got together."
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao and others were shocked.
Yan Wenxiu couldn't accept it: "How can this be possible? The Eighth Prince is the prince of Daxia, how can he unite with foreign races to deal with his own people?"
Yan Wenkai sneered: "How can the Eight Kings care about the life and death of the people? Last time we cleaned up the Eight Kings' power in Zhongzhou, Jiguang, and Fenxi provinces, which made him anxious. He did not hesitate to sacrifice the national interests for the sake of power."<
/p>
Yan Wentao looked at Yan Zhigao: "Uncle, this is a good opportunity for us to make a contribution."
Yan Zhigao: "What did you do in the past?"
Yan Wentao: "Because there are people planted by the Eight Kings in the Northern Xinjiang Army, we were responsible for uncovering these people and gathering information about the Tatars."
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao, Mrs. Li, and Yan Wenxiu all frowned.
This job is not easy to handle, and it is also quite dangerous.
Daohua thought for a while and asked: "Do I have to go?"
Yan Wentao was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "I want to give it a try."
Yan Wenkai: "I think so too." He said, looking at Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li seriously, "Father, mother, just let me and third brother go. I know you are worried about our safety, but now
Third brother and I have made some gains in our internal skills, so we can still protect ourselves, so you don’t need to worry too much."
Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li looked at each other, both looking hesitant.
Daohua asked again: "Is Xiao Yeyang going too?"
Yan Wentao shook his head: "Ye Yang is not going this time, he will stay to deal with other matters."
Now Daohua was no longer at ease: "Are you two going?"
Yan Wentao looked at Daohua: "Daohua, the third brother knows what you mean. You think that with Yeyang here, the safety of the fourth brother and I will be higher. But have you ever thought that it is impossible for the fourth brother and I to
We have been hiding under the protection of Yeyang, we will have to leave him sooner or later, right?"
Daohua stopped talking.
Yan Zhigao was silent for a long time, then looked at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao: "Have you thought clearly?"
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai nodded affirmatively at the same time: "Think clearly."
Yan Zhigao sighed and blamed himself: "Our family's foundation is too shallow and our foundation is too thin. We don't have many resources to share with you brothers. Now we can only rely on you to fight for it."
Hearing this, a look of shame appeared on Yan Wenxiu's face. As the eldest son of Yan, he is the one who should fight hard, but now his two younger brothers are taking the lead.
Yan Wenkai immediately laughed and said: "Dad, what are you talking about? Our family started with literature, and my third brother and I are learning martial arts. Even if we have resources, we can't use them."
Yan Wentao also nodded.
Yan Zhigao didn't say anything. When Mrs. Li saw that he agreed, she moved her lips and twirled some objections in her mouth. But when she saw the firm eyes of the two children, she swallowed them down helplessly.

Seeing that her parents agreed, Daohua asked: "Third brother, fourth brother, when will you leave?"
Yan Wenkai: "I will leave in two days and join the army heading north from Ningmen Pass." He said, looking at Mrs. Li with a smile, "If anyone asks about my third brother and me in the future, mother can tell others that we went to join the army."<
/p>
Daohua: "Third brother, fourth brother, what do you need, tell mother and me, and we can prepare it for you."
Mrs. Li nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, you don't know how long you will stay there this time when you go to Northern Xinjiang, so you must be well prepared."
Yan Wenkai smiled and said: "Mom, eldest sister, please stop working so hard. There are too many things prepared and it's hard to take them away."
Yan Wentao looked at Daohua: "I really need something."
Daohua: "What?"
Yan Wentao: "The dog Xiaoqi was very helpful last time I ran an errand. I want to take him with me."
Yan Wenkai also thought of hunting dogs: "Yes, yes, bring me one too. If it weren't for Gou Xiaoqi's help in chasing last time, the Eight Kings' henchmen would have caught several big fish."
Daohua didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, fourth brother, you can choose which one you want to bring."
Yan Wenkai: "Just the dog Xiaoliu, I think it's pretty fierce. On the battlefield, it's better to be a little fiercer."
When coming out of the main courtyard, Daohua reminded Yan Wenkai: "Fourth brother, you still have to talk to Sister Su and the Su family about going to Northern Xinjiang."
Yan Wenkai nodded: "I will write a letter to Shiyu after I go back."
Daohua said nothing more and turned back to the yard to prepare things for the two of them.
Because they were leaving, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao stayed at home with their families for the next two days, and everyone in the Yan family knew that they were going to join the army.
Although Mrs. Yan was very worried, she did not hold back her grandson. She just told them over and over again to be careful.
Others also expressed their concern.
On the morning of November 18th, after Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao said goodbye to Mrs. Yan, Yan Zhigao and others, they rode to Ningmen Pass and set off for Northern Xinjiang with the army that afternoon.
"Don't worry, Wen Tao, Wen Kai now has a thousand households. He has many useful people under his command, and has done a lot of errands. He has experience and means. It's time to go out and make a career."
Xiao Yeyang came over to comfort him and give him rice flowers.
Daohua looked at the long army of dragons going away, was silent for a while, turned around and asked: "What about you, don't you want to go out and have a try?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent: "After a while, I may have to leave for a while."
Daohua quickly asked: "Are you going to Northern Xinjiang too?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Go back to Beijing."
Daohua's heart tightened: "Will you come back then?"
