MTL - After Reincarnating, an Evil Consort Only Wants to Torture Scums-Chapter 495 497: Changjo Support
Beside the teahouse, there is a sycamore tree, and a green horse-drawn carriage is parked there quietly.
In the carriage, Wuyue looked at the door of the teahouse through the window: "Miss, come out, come out, is that Concubine Liu?"
Lu Xiang was hugging the stove and closing her eyes to doze off. Hearing Wuyue's excited voice, she opened her eyes, leaned over and looked out: "Well, it's her."
Even though she was wearing a veil, it was not difficult to see that it was Liu Anhui.
"The girl next to her has a very ugly face. It seems that Xiao Muheng is holding her back. Miss, do you think she will tell the second prince?"
Lu Xiang: "No."
"Huh? If Xiao Muheng really threatened her, with Concubine Liu's temperament, she would definitely not let it go."
"Tell the second prince, and she will fall out of favor completely."
"Oh oh oh..."
"It is confirmed that the two have met, can we go?" Lu Xiang looked at the gossiping Yun Zhe with a chuckle, and said.
Wuyue's little face was slightly reddened by the master's teasing: "Miss, servants also want to know themselves and their enemies in order to win every battle. Liu Anyao is so vicious, she is dead, but Liu Fangfei's accomplice is really hateful, and they deserve it."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Lu Xiang smiled, and agreed with her maid in a good-tempered manner: "Aman hasn't come back yet?"
Wuyue couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "The servant just saw her and went to buy roasted sweet potatoes again."
Wherever she goes and eats, she admires it.
After saying that, I saw Ah Man lifted the curtain of the car and walked in, holding a steaming sweet potato in his hand.
"Miss, here is one for you, just out of the oven." Ah Man carefully took one and put it on the handkerchief, handed it to Lu Xiang, and picked up the other half and handed it to Wu Yue.
Wuyue looked at the few sweet potatoes left in Ah Man's hand: "..."
Do I have to thank you for giving me half of it generously?
"Miss, I saw a group of soldiers passing by on the street, and the fourth young master of the Qiao family was also inside." Ah Man said to Lu Xiang while eating.
Lu Xiang was taken aback: "Did you see clearly?"
"Well, I inquired about it. This team of soldiers has just been enlisted to go to Changcheng for support."
Lu Xiang's complexion was gloomy, and he said after a long while: "Fourth brother Qiao has always wanted to join the army, but every time he couldn't run very far, he would be arrested and returned. This time the Western Jin Dynasty invaded, and they have already broken the Qixia pass, and Changcheng is in danger."
The world is divided into four parts, Eastern Wei, Western Jin, Southern Zhao, Northern Di!
Beidi is a barren land, especially in winter where there is no grass growing, but the hard life has also made Beidi people fierce and brave. Five years ago, An Guogong raised his troops to defeat Beidi, and they were beaten back. They were severely injured and had to surrender. , these years have been very peaceful.
The Great Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty had been living in peace, but they suddenly raised troops to invade. When Emperor Chengde got the news, he almost fell off the dragon chair.
If the Western Jin Dynasty wanted to attack a certain country to strengthen itself, the quickest and easiest way was to attack Nanzhao, but this guy actually went around a long way to attack them first.
It was later learned that the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the small kingdom of Wei, Chen Guo, and then went straight to Qixia Pass through Chen Guo, which caught Wei by surprise.
General Dou, who was guarding Qixia Pass, died in battle. There were only 5,000 generals and 5,000 soldiers in Changcheng. The soldiers rushed over and killed the enemy from behind, narrowly defeating the army of the Western Jin Dynasty, otherwise Changcheng would also be breached.
But the Western Jin Dynasty came prepared. After the first battle was defeated, they regrouped for a few days and attacked again. The 20,000 troops brought by General Shen fought hard against the 50,000 troops of the Western Jin Dynasty, and several other places could not be moved easily. Otherwise, it would be an opportunity for other countries to take advantage of the fire to loot, so Emperor Chengde ordered the Ministry of War to recruit troops, and Marquis Yongyi brought another 50,000 soldiers and horses to help.
The main hall of Qiao's house.
The atmosphere was solemn, Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao sat on the main seat with ugly faces, and Mrs. Qiao's eyes were even redder.
The fourth child didn't tell them clearly until before leaving today, and left without even giving them a buffer time.
The people in Changcheng can't wait, so the army will set off in just a few days.
Qiao Jingru and Lu Chao hurried in: "Father, mother, what's going on, the fourth brother sneaked away again? Then, father, hurry up and send someone to find him back."
Qiao Jingru said anxiously.
Qiao Zhiyan looked at Qiao Jingru, shook his head and said, "This time is different. Jing Yi is a soldier registered in the Ministry of War. If he doesn't go, he will be a deserter. He is guilty of treason."
"So serious?" Qiao Jingru didn't know what was going on in the officialdom, and when she heard Qiao Zhiyan's words, she couldn't help shaking her body, while Lu Chao hurriedly supported her.
"Don't worry, sit down first."
The second child Qiao Yuan'an said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The fourth brother has blood in his heart. He is defending his family and the country. We are his closest relatives and we should not hold him back."
As the elder brother of Qiao Jingyi, he is naturally reluctant to put his younger brother in danger, but as a citizen of the Great Wei, the country is in trouble, and as a man, he should not be shy.
In the past, the world was peaceful, and it was reasonable for his father to be reluctant to go to the frontiers to endure hardships. But now that the enemies are coming to invade their territory of Great Wei, how can they stand by and watch.
Mrs. Qiao wiped her tears silently, knowing that what her son did was the right thing, but as a mother, she just couldn't accept it.
She doesn't have big minds and ambitions, and she doesn't want her son to be promoted to an official position and become famous. She just hopes that he can marry a wife and have children in peace.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and after a while, Master Qiao sighed, looked at Mrs. Qiao and said, "Ma'am, don't cry, while he is still in the capital for a few days, help him pack up and salute quickly. It’s the cold winter that’s inevitable.”
Wen Ruoxi walked to Mrs. Qiao, and said softly, "Mother, I will accompany you back to the house."
Qiao Jingru also hurriedly followed.
…
At night, Mrs. Qiao was stimulated, so Qiao Jingru waited for her to fall asleep before returning to the Lu residence.
She asked Lu Chaochao to go back first, while she went to Qixia Courtyard.
Yun Zhe heard a knock on the door outside, and walked over to open the door.
She saw Qiao Jingru standing at the door, and was stunned for a moment: "Eldest young mistress? Come in quickly."
"Is Xiangxiang asleep?"
Yun Zhe said: "I just finished washing, and I haven't fallen asleep yet, so my servant will report."
Qiao Jingru: "En."
Yun Zhe hurriedly went to Lu Xiang's room, followed by Qiao Jingru.
Wuyue was coming out with water: "I have seen the young lady."
Qiao Jingru nodded absently.
Lu Xiang just went to bed, when she heard Yun Zhe say that Qiao Jingru had come, she hurriedly put on some clothes and got out of bed again: "Please come in, sister-in-law."
