Hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, Xu Shiqiu's heart jumped, he knew, if there was no problem with the time, her sister would not say anything.

Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Nuanwen and asked: ”Elder sister, is there something wrong with the timing?” After saying this, Xu Shiqiu didn't wait for Xu Nuanwen's reply before continuing, ”Generally, new recruits would either train for three months or for half a year. So when His Majesty spoke for three months today, I didn't think too much about it.”

The moment Xu Shiqiu's words fell, Xu Nuanwen immediately shook his head, ”Do you still remember what I told you before, about how Master Xuan Ling gave the Imperial Family its life?

”Big sister means that three months from now, it will be the time that Master Xuan Ling speaks of?” As Xu Shiqiu said this, his eyebrows also knitted together immediately.

Seeing him reveal such an expression, Xu Nuanwen hurriedly shook her head and said, ”No, according to the time Master Xuan Ling said, it should be from the end of this year to the beginning of next year.” After saying this, Xu Nuanwen continued under Xu Shiqiu's puzzled gaze. ”We're only following Master Xuan Ling's deductions, that His Majesty will have encountered a calamity at the end of autumn.”

However, the information she was revealing right now was enough for Xu Shiqiu to digest.

”But I don't think you need to worry too much about this matter. Since His Majesty knows that his sister-in-law is blessed, he'll probably protect all of you for his own sake.”

Xu Nuanwen did not lie, but when she heard her words, her brows were still knitted tightly.

According to his plan, once he had an official position, he would have to slowly take charge of the military. Even if he couldn't take over the military power left behind by his father, he had to have a seat in the army.

The Emperor Ruikang was old and the princes had all grown up. In order to fight for the throne, there was no need for troops.

If he could help his brother-in-law get on the throne, the Third Prince, this enemy, could definitely be dealt with.

As for the Emperor Ruikang...

Thinking about how Emperor Ruikang had protected his son and covered up his son's crimes, Xu Shiqiu thought in his heart. Maybe letting Emperor Ruikang personally see his sons betray him one by one would make him even more sad.

After he understood all of this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Nuanwen and said: ”Elder sister, don't ask about this anymore. No matter what, I still want to recruit and train new recruits. ”When I have troops, even if there's anything, I can still protect the safety of our family.”

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking,, Yuanxi and the rest of the people in the hall were the only ones who did not understand what he meant.

Even Ye Shuo, who was playing with Yuanxi, subconsciously looked up at the Third Uncle Xu Shiqiu.

Since the ancient era, the victor was the king and the loser was the thief. If there were soldiers in the hands of the loser, they could fight for some benefits, and even if they didn't, they could still protect their families.

This was also the reason why Ye Shuo wanted to join the army when he discovered what his father was planning to do.

Thinking up to here, the Old Madame Xu, who had the highest seniority in the room, sighed one last time before speaking, ”Shiqiu, since you want to do it, then go ahead and try. I'll help you with everything.”

The moment Old Madame Xu opened her mouth, Xu Shiqiu instantly looked up at her and said, ”Mother, don't worry.

Dong Shu didn't know what her husband, Granny, Aunt Sister and the others were talking about just now. Although she didn't understand it, she could tell from the atmosphere they were talking about that the things they were discussing were very important.

Until the moment Xu Shiqiu's words fell, she finally opened his mouth and said, ”I believe Hubby can do it.”

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu and the rest's gazes all landed on her body.

Sensing that they were looking at him, Dong Shu immediately asked: ”What's wrong? But am I wrong? ”

”No, with your words, your husband will only be more confident.” Xu Shiqiu didn't want Dong Shu to notice anything else, so he hurriedly said those words the moment Dong Shu finished speaking.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately believed him, and her curved crescent eyes turned into two crescent moons.

Seeing Dong Shu's expression, Xu Shiqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Shiqiu understood in his heart, no matter what, since he already had a position, the first thing he needed to do was to recruit and train soldiers.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu had no intention to continue speaking, Dong Shu told his what she had discussed with Xu Shiqiu on the Mule Cart.

”I haven't been to the manor yet, so it just so happens that the weather is getting hotter in a while. Yanzhu, can you also go live in the manor for a while?” Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu in anticipation, her pair of crescent eyes filled with curiosity towards the manor.

Xu Yanzhu had visited the villa twice, but the previous two times had been in the morning, and she had returned in the afternoon. This time, hearing Dong Shu say that she wanted to go and stay for a while, she only pondered for a moment, then nodded her head: ”Alright, after the empress's birthday, I will accompany Grandmother and Third Aunt to go and stay for a while.”

Xu Nuanwen also wanted to stay in the villa. Although her manor was not right next to Xu Shiqiu's manor, it was not too far away.

However, as the Consort of the Fifth Prince, even if the Empress' birthday ended, she would still not be able to stay in the Villa forever.

”I cannot grow strong in the manor, but staying here for two days is fine. The most important thing is still to see how Xuan Ge'er is doing. If his health is good, then let Brother Huan'er bring Xuan Ge'er to stay with you at the Manor for a few days. ”

Previously, Ye Xuan's health was not good, and he could not leave the capital too far for fear of not being able to see a doctor when he had the disease.

Ye Xuan had been to the manor a few times, but he had to bring a lot of people with him every time he went out. Now that his body was getting better and better, maybe he could go out and live in the manor for a while this year, and would not need to bring the doctor along anymore.

”We have the Doctor Du at home, so the Doctor Du will definitely come with us. With the Doctor Du at home, Big Sis doesn't need to worry.” Dong Shu also thought that it was interesting to have more people. Last summer, she was pregnant and could not be greedy.

Furthermore, her Xiahe Village was cooler than the capital, so she didn't need to specially cool down.
