Old Lady Feng closed her eyes, opened them after a moment of deep thought, met Sheng Lanci's hopeful gaze, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry too much about Qiao'er! Because even if the Western Frontier has fallen at this moment, and Qiao'er falls into the hands of Ruru, generally speaking, it is not easy for accidents." After all, when Qiao Er came out of the cabinet before, the makeup was so rich, the world knew it! And most of your and my family businesses were in the south, unless Ru Ru destroyed Da Mu, it would be impossible for Ru Ru to come over!"
"In this case, Ru Ru must be taking Qiao Er as a hostage and blackmailing us with money to ransom people...... Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem for us!"
Sheng Lanci said eagerly: "But, Dad, have you forgotten the grudge between my father and Ruru? How many people on Ruru's side are eager to cramp and skin my father!
"Then we can only pray!" Old Lady Feng said expressionlessly, "Pray that Ruru's Great Khan is more interested in the benefits we can give than in resentment towards your father!"
"......" Sheng Lan was silent for a long time, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, do you have a way to contact Ruru Khan?"
If he had to put it aside, he would never have thought that his father-in-law, the only time in his life to leave Nanfeng County, seemed to be the old lady Feng who went to Chang'an to send his granddaughter out of the pavilion, and what would have to do with Ruru who was far away in the north.
But since the Feng family had already hooked up with the Shu sisters when they had not yet fully risen, it was not impossible that they also had a way on Ruru's side?
Sure enough, Old Lady Feng thought for a while and said, "Ruru's Great Khan, how can I, a country man, be able to contact him?" However, I know a few caravans that have been secretly trading with them, and I also have some friendships. โ
Sheng Lanci hurriedly said: "Please also ask my father to help introduce you!"
"I'm not going to introduce you to it. But Old Lady Feng refused without hesitation, "You feel sorry for your daughter, and I also feel sorry for my daughter!" At this time, if the northern Xinjiang is still safe and sound, it will be okay, the court's attention over the years has been focused on the battle between King Gaomi and the Meng family, even if he knows that the merchants in the country are trading privately with Ruru for profit, they may not pay attention to it. But now that Ru Ru has invaded the northern frontier, Da Mu has also suffered a loss, in this case, those businessmen who have been doing business with Ru Ru have temporarily stopped, if you go up, won't you be caught as a traitor?!"
"What will the Sheng family do when the time comes?
Seeing Sheng Lanci's anxious expression, he sighed a little helplessly, "If you really care, it's messy...... Why don't you want to think about it, Qiao Er is not alone in the Western Frontier!"
"That kid has little experience on his own, and it's okay if he can't be reassuring when he encounters trouble. โ
"My eldest daughter, and Mizhen, which is the fuel-efficient lamp?!"
"Qiao'er's guess, the two of them knew it before us!"
"Do you think they're going to laugh silly, waiting for us to give them ideas in a hurry?"
Thinking of her ruthless sister-in-law and cunning son-in-law, Sheng Lanci finally calmed down, but she still felt dazed: "But Daddy, the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, no matter how powerful the eldest sister and Mizhen are, in the case of Western Xinjiang, once the Ruru soldiers come to the city, what will they do?!"
Old lady Feng said calmly: "My whole life has been spent on business, this kind of war, you are asking me the wrong person! But ......"
He suddenly smiled and said lightly, "Have you forgotten why those three children are in the Western Frontier at this time? That is Mi Zhen's own choice! Do you think that he is used to seeing the two armies facing each other at sea, even if the scale of the battle between the sea bandits is far less than that of the two countries, but since he can get out of the tortoiseshell island, it shows his talent and mentality, and Qiao Er has doubts about the things, he will not count in his heart?"
"Even, the reason why he insisted on going to Western Xinjiang was because of the possibility of Ruru's detour?"
Old Madam Feng said slowly, "Although I don't know the art of war, I also know that soldiers who have never seen blood and have never been on a formal battlefield are useless after all!
"Mizhen has great ambitions and is not willing to be left behind. โ
"In fact, as far as his life experience is concerned, he can't be left behind!"
"So he is in great need of a capable army. โ
"If the West has been peaceful...... How is he going to cultivate a capable army?"
"Don't forget, when Mizhen herself was at sea, she came up all the way in a bloody storm. โ
"So even if he is a champion in high school, will he be the kind of person who talks on paper, thinking that as long as he has enough baggage and personnel, he can train hundreds of thousands of commanders and strict military discipline?!"
The old lady said peacefully, "Save it, as far as his heart is concerned, he will only believe that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road...... Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about Qiao'er's situation, whether it is out of the love of husband and wife, or in order for our family to continue to willingly make cattle and horses for him, it is impossible for him to ignore Qiao'er's safety!"
Seeing Sheng Lanci gradually calm down, Old Lady Feng took a sip of tea and covered up the worry that flashed in his eyes: he still hasn't said a word, that is, the world is unpredictable, and then he has confidence in Rong Sleeping Crane, and then he has hope for Xuanyu Feng, with Ruru's murderous image in the minds of the Damu people, how can he really be completely relieved before the dust settles?
"It's just that this matter is no longer something that the three of us can interfere in. Old Lady Feng thought silently, "For today's plan, I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven!"
After settling down, the old lady spoke again: "Over there in the western Xinjiang, it will be handed over to Mizhen, and there will be a snow drink to help." What we have to do now is try not to hold them back!"
Although Sheng Lanci calmed down a little, she loved Sheng Weiqiao too much, and she was still a little in a trance at the moment, and subconsciously said when she heard this: "Please also ask Daddy for advice!"
"Mizhen and his wife have nothing to worry about, they both know that we can take care of ourselves. Old lady Feng said, "But drinking snow is not necessarily, she will have a son." This time after leaving Nanfeng County for so long, Shi'er's uncles seem to be a little restless? Originally, I thought it would be good to leave it to Shi'er to practice his hands, but if his uncles teamed up with outsiders to spread rumors to the Western Xinjiang, it would be okay to make Yuxue upset, and the most afraid was that the baggage that Yuxue had promised before, they would be hindered by them, and it would ruin the big thing of Mizhen!"
"Daddy is right!" Sheng Lan heard this, and there was murderous aura in his eyes, "There must not be any chaos in this eye! Since She'er has long been the head of the Xuanyu family, then Xuanyu's family, he should be the master of the house alone! Since his uncles can't figure it out, then go to the ancestors of the Xuanyu family as soon as possible to do their filial piety! So that the ancestors of the Xuanyu family can teach these unscrupulous descendants!"
Old lady Feng bowed his head: "She'er is young, I'm getting old." You have to be careful about this, don't ruin the reputation of She'er's mother! Of course, your reputation must also be considered...... She'er's cousin's family before, don't you just go clean?"
Of course, Sheng Lanci will be concerned, after the guidance of the old lady, he has already regarded helping his nephew Xuan Yu to take power as a major matter related to the life and death of his baby daughter, so what else is there to say?
Naturally, it will be unscrupulous at all costs!
But I didn't know what Old Lady Feng was thinking: "In this way, no matter whether or not Yuxue can return safely, Xuan Yu's family will eventually be involved." โ
As for whether Xuan Yushe's uncles were wronged, this old lady Feng doesn't care, his behavior is the same as what he said just now, as long as he lives well with his bloodline, he doesn't care about the life or death of other people, even the life or death of the entire Damu Dynasty.
And at this moment, Meng Guiyu, who was far away in Chang'an, was meeting the queen again.
"How did you meet the Shu sisters?" Queen Meng has reduced a lot during this time, and the reason for the announcement is because the Shu sisters took turns to come to Wangchun Palace to "visit" during this time, and the hostility of the sisters to the queen is well known.
In fact, he was worried that Meng Guiyu's request to contact the Shu sisters would cause all the previous efforts of the two to be in vain, so that they didn't think about tea and dinner, and they lost a lot of weight.
However, after Meng Guiyu had a separate conversation with the Shu sisters after she designed it, she never came to Wangchun Palace again, which made the queen suspicious and more worried.
Seeing him coming at this moment, I couldn't wait to ask, "The sisters...... Have you ever promised you?"
Meng Guiyu shook his head, Queen Meng's color suddenly changed, but she heard him say: "The sisters said that you and I are of the Meng bloodline after all, and they say that they want to take refuge in them without any evidence, but they can't believe it, and we have to get a name to do it!"
"Vote for the name?" Empress Meng was stunned and said, "What kind of vote do they want?"
Meng Guiyu's eyes were heavy, and he said, "The life of the eldest brother, the second brother, the fourth brother, the ninth brother, and any of the ten brothers!"
The queen's face turned pale when she heard this: "This is just a joke! The ninth brother and Meng Si'an are also okay, the eldest brother, the second brother and the fourth brother are all the same as the third brother, they are the mainstay of the Meng clan today, and it is almost the same as killing us, how can we get them?!"
"I think the two sisters actually gave us a choice: tenth brother!" Meng Guiyu shook his head and said, "The others are just talking out and teasing us!"
"Meng Si'an?" Queen Meng raised her eyebrows, because Jiaoyu was very mean to Mrs. Xiang's mother and son when she was alive, Jiaoyu's two biological flesh and blood, Meng Lijiang and Meng Si'an, did not practice their brothers and sisters, and they have never had a good impression of Jiaoyu's mother and son, so they never felt that Meng Si'an was her younger brother, and she was reluctant to kill him to pave the way for herself.
However, "He is very favored by Zheng Guogong at this time, and it is said that he has everything in and out, and he wants to attack him, but I am afraid that the difficulty is not under the difficulty of dealing with the eldest brother, the second brother and the fourth brother, right?"
Meng Guiyu said: "It's not impossible to really kill him! The problem is, if we do this, if we do this, if our lives and futures are all in the thought of the Shu sisters!"
He looked at the queen, "Even if it's you, it's the same!" because although Jiaoyu is dead, the uncle has recently accepted a new favorite, and he may not always spoil the tenth brother as Jiaoyu did when he was there. However, at least for now, the uncle still attaches great importance to the tenth brother! If the tenth brother dies at this time, the uncle will definitely be very angry!"
Empress Meng was silent for a while, and said expressionlessly: "However, if we don't do anything, how can the future of you and me not be in the thoughts of the Meng family?" Although the Shu sisters are not good people, how can the Meng family be kind to us?"
Meng Guiyu said, "What do you mean ......?"
"Do as they say!" the queen said coldly, "As you said before, our foundation is too thin! Partial life is not good to be born in the Meng family, and they are used as chess pieces, if you want to seek that glimmer of life, you don't go off the rails, you don't have a ruthless heart, and the so-called unwillingness to be at the mercy of you is just a joke!!
It's just that when Queen Meng made up her mind, she didn't notice the meaning that Meng Guiyu covered when she lowered her head.
