Chapter Twenty-Eight: Homecoming

When Li Shi heard this, it was as if in despair, he saw a glimmer of light, and the look on his face was excited and happy.

However, she quickly calmed down, shook her head slightly, and said, "I am really happy that Leader Qin can give me a chance. However, with my identity, if I join the Red Lotus Army, I am afraid that it will bring some trouble to the Qin leader, but I still ......"

"You don't have to think about that." Qin Shu said gently, "Since I said so, I naturally have the ability to cover this matter, and it is not difficult to change my face." It's just that you are indeed a little special, once you join the Red Lotus Army, I am afraid that you will have to completely break away from your previous life. You have to think about it too, it's really a whole new world, and don't regret it when the time comes. ”

Li Shi thought about it seriously, then nodded firmly to Qin Shu and said, "I have thought it through, I will not regret it." ”

When Qin Shu heard this, she was about to smile, when she saw the Li clan suddenly kneeling in front of her and said, "Great Chief, I am willing to accept the test of the Red Lotus Army, but I don't plan to follow the Red Lotus Army to respond to Tianfu at this time, someone needs to stay here, and I shouldn't disappear at this time." ”

If she stays here, she will always have a place where she can be used, at least she can be the eyes and ears of the Red Lotus Army and help the Red Lotus Army look at Fu Chengwen.

And now, she can almost be regarded as his closest person, Fu Chengwen suspects no one, and he will not suspect her.

Qin Shu understood what she meant, looked at her quietly for a long time, saw her expression firm, obviously had made up her mind, couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said, "Why are you so troubled?" "It's a cage here!

Li Shi showed a smile and said, "Since I want to join the Red Lotus Army, I naturally have to offer my sincerity. I don't know what it takes to join the Red Lotus Army, but I want to use this as a test for me by the Red Lotus Army, if I finally complete the mission and survive, I will join the Red Lotus Army again, noncommittal? ”

Qin Shu suddenly got up, walked up to her, helped her up with his own hands, looked into her eyes, and said, "Of course, I still say that, the door of the Red Lotus Army will be open for you at any time." Here, it's up to you. ”

Li nodded vigorously, his eyes slightly moist.

Before she came to Qin Shu, she had always been very uncertain in her heart, she had thought about countless scenarios, and even thought that the other party might be hostile to her because of her identity, or laugh at herself for not being able to do anything, and even she was ready to be blamed.

But she never expected that Chief Qin's attitude was so gentle and generous, he didn't care about her identity at all, and he didn't show a trace of doubt and contempt, but he attached great importance to her, which made her feel warm in her heart, and for the first time, she felt that she was also needed and useful.

After the decision, although the Li family has not really joined the Red Lotus Army, she is already regarded as a reserve of the Red Lotus Army, and she can barely be regarded as her own person.

Therefore, the cronies of the Red Lotus Army present naturally had a much more intimate attitude towards her.

Next, Qin Shu briefly told her about the situation of the Red Lotus Army, and told her a few, the cronies of the Red Lotus Army in Tuzhou, if she has anything, she can find those people.

Of course, Qin Shu told her that she was only the tip of the iceberg, and she didn't leak all her hole cards, after all, the Li family had not passed the guò test.

People's thoughts are always changing, Qin Shu will not blindly trust anyone, this is irresponsible to herself and all her subordinates, once she believes in the wrong person, the price paid is a fresh life.

So, she had to be more cautious than anyone else.

This is also a test for Lee.

In addition, Qin Shu also assigned "homework" to Li and gave her methods, so that she could consciously exercise her body, strengthen her body, and her physical qualities and force were also part of the test.

Although Li was a little shocked and dazed at first, he quickly accepted it positively, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit. At this time, she was much more energetic than she had been.

People who have goals will have a very different mental outlook, at least, they will not be so muddy and insensitive.

In order to avoid suspicion from outsiders, Li soon left.

The next day, when the Red Lotus Army set off, she didn't come out to see her off, and honestly became her crown princess.

The Red Lotus Army set off early, before dawn.

In this way, it is less than a hundred miles away from Yingtian, if you hurry faster, you can arrive at night!

However, Qin Shu didn't want to be in a hurry, anyway, they were all at the door, so there was no need to be so flustered, besides, the past few days had been a high-intensity rush, everyone was very tired, so they couldn't be so nervous.

Therefore, in fact, Qin Shu ordered to slow down the speed, and it would be completed before tomorrow night.

This road is very safe and smooth, especially the more the day, the easier the road to walk, and the faster the speed.

In the afternoon of the next day, Qin Shu and his party finally returned to Yingtian.

When Qin Shu set out on the expedition, he led an army of 30,000, but when he returned, he had 40,000 more prisoners of war, more than 70,000 people.

Ying Tianfu is short of manpower, Chen Xiuyuan saw the extra 40,000 prisoners of war, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, not to mention, these 40,000 prisoners of war have already done some "tuning", as long as they put in a little effort, they can come in handy.

Coupled with the men and horses brought back by Qin Shu, Yingtian's strength has exceeded 200,000, and there is no need to draw people from various places.

Because Song Liangxiu's army was too strong, Chen Xiuyuan ordered that there was no need to resist or block in various places, but fortunately, Song Liangxiu took the waterway, but he did not bother to attack the city and did not cause too many casualties.

First, Song Liangxiu couldn't bear to hurt the lives of the people and wanted to reduce casualties; second, they are not willing to consume their combat power too early; Third, he thinks that "the thief captures the king first", as long as Yingtian is taken, the rest of the place is a piece of scattered sand, and it doesn't take much effort to take it.

If you want to end the troubled times, fighting is indispensable.

The key is who is superior and can win the world.

Attacking Yingtian is a very important part of their plan, although Song Liangxiu has an old relationship with Qin Shu, he will not show mercy to his subordinates.

Of course Qin Shu is the same.

Therefore, when she knew that Song Liangxiu led the army to attack Yingtian, she was only shocked, and had no other feelings. Then, hurriedly rushed back.

Fortunately, it was still too late to do so.

The arrival of the Red Lotus Army made the entire Ying Tianfu boil.

The people greeted them warmly and warmly welcomed the soldiers back, treating them as heroes.

The people of Ying Tianfu all knew the news that the Red Lotus Army had won the battle. Now, with tens of thousands of prisoners of war and a lot of booty, he has won a great victory, and he is triumphant on the eve of the foreign enemy's imminent attack.

The people, who were originally scared, were also relieved.

The timing of the Red Lotus Army's return was really just right.

Qin Shu handed over all the 40,000 prisoners of war to Chen Xiuyuan to worry about, anyway, it was impossible for them to join the Red Lotus Army.

Even the 20,000 soldiers and horses that he borrowed from the Qin family's army, Qin Shu returned them, and then, with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, went to the camp to rest first.

The current situation is not suitable for a large-scale celebration banquet, after all, there are still foreign enemies eyeing each other, and the top priority is to do everything possible to restore the body, but it is still okay to let everyone eat and drink a lot and relax a little.

This afternoon, Qin Shu didn't go home at all, and stayed in the barracks all the time.

Originally, Qin Shu wanted to arrange a place for her to live, but Shi Lengyu insisted on living in the camp, she hoped to integrate into the Red Lotus Army as much as possible.

Qin Shu thought about it and agreed, however, outside the camp, a courtyard was still prepared for her, which was her home, and there would be a place to relax in the future.

It's a pity that in that courtyard, Shi Lengyu rarely goes back in the future, and he is more nostalgic for the military camp than Cheng Qiuyu.

It wasn't until the evening that Qin Shu returned to the Generalissimo's Mansion.

Entering the mansion gate and looking at the courtyard, Qin Shu felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

However, when he was about to reach the second gate, Qin Shu saw a group of people waiting in front of the door, and although it was already dark, he could still see clearly who was standing in front of him with the lights on.

As soon as Qin Shu stepped forward, Xiao Ruxuan led everyone to kneel down, kowtowed to Qin Shu and said, "Concubine welcomes Mrs. Tai back to her house, congratulations on the triumph of the Red Lotus Army!" ”

"The concubine (slave maid) welcomes Mrs. Tai back to her home, and congratulates the Red Lotus Army on its victory." The people behind her also knelt down with her and said in unison.

Qin Shu shook her head a little helplessly, took a deep breath, and said steadily, "Get up!" ”

After speaking, he began to look at everyone.

Xiao Ruxuan, Zhao Hanqiu, Liang Shilan, as well as the Xin family, Xiao Wang family, Wu family and others with big bellies, and a bunch of maids and women behind them. Except for Zhou Zhen'er, who was imprisoned, Qin Youan's concubines were probably all there, all looking at her with a look of awe, but they all had smiles on their faces.

Qin Shu looked around, then retracted his gaze and said to Xiao Ruxuan: "Xiao Shi, I am not here during this time, thank you for your hard work." ”

Xiao Ruxuan shook her head with a smile, and said respectfully: "The concubine is not hard, the concubine is good at home, and there are people to serve, no matter how hard it is, it is not as good as fighting." The soldiers who sleep in the open all day, compared to Mrs. Tai, and the soldiers of the Red Lotus Army, what is my hard work! ”

As he spoke, he came over to support Qin Shu.

Qin Shu laughed after saying this, stretched out her hand and patted her hand, the hard work of the march, people who have not really experienced it, will never be clear. However, Xiao Ruxuan can say this, she still feels quite ironed in her heart. Xiao Shi is really sensible and caring.

Qin Shu looked at Zhao Hanqiu again, Zhao Hanqiu immediately stepped forward and supported Qin Shu's arm on the other side, but instead of making Qin Shu laugh like before, he cried with red eyes: "Mrs. Tai has worked hard, you look a lot thinner, and you are a little darker, even the concubine can't help but feel distressed, if the generalissimo sees it, I don't know how sad it is!" ”

Qin Shu smiled: "I came back safely, how can I say that it is also a great joy, why are you crying?" Don't worry, although I have lost some weight, I am not injured, and I will be fine for two days. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly frowned, looked at Zhao Hanqiu, who was much plumper than before, and said, "It's you, you're still in confinement, why did you come out?" How can it be good to fall into the root of the disease? ”

Qin Shu was on the way, and she also received the news of Zhao Hanqiu's birth, and she also knew that she had given birth to a son, so she had this question.

Seeing that Qin Shu was so close to Zhao Hanqiu, Liang Shilan's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of envy, the two positions beside Mrs. Tai didn't have her share at all.

"Mrs. Tai doesn't have to worry about the concubine, a few days ago, the concubine finished her confinement, and she recovered well after giving birth, it doesn't matter." Zhao Hanqiu finally smiled, wiped her tears and said to Qin Shu affectionately, "By the way, Mrs. Tai hasn't seen Maomao yet, so the concubine will let the nurse carry her over." ”

"Don't worry, it's cool outside, wait until you enter the house to see!" Qin Shu said.

Before Qin Shu came back from the camp, she had changed into homely clothes, and there was also a place for her to live in the camp, and she was also prepared with clothes.

The group walked mightily into the courtyard.

There are lanterns hanging under the porch in the courtyard, which illuminates the courtyard very brightly.

Entering the main room all the way unimpeded, Qin Shu took a look, and it was still the same as when she left, very clean, as if she had left not for more than two months, but for two days.

After Qin Shu sat down on the head, Dongxue immediately served Qin Shu hot tea.

Xiao Ruxuan and many other concubines stood below, and solemnly greeted Qin Shu again.

Qin Shu asked Xiao Ruxuan, Zhao Hanqiu and Liang Shilan to sit down, and when she saw Xin, who had a big belly and looked very heavy, Qin Shu also asked her to give her a seat.

You can't let a pregnant woman who is nearly eight months pregnant stand still.

The other concubines could only stand.

Xin happened to be sitting opposite Liang Shilan, and when he saw Liang Shilan looking at him, he couldn't help but show a smug look at Liang Shilan, and casually lowered his head in peace.

Liang Shilan was furious when she saw her provoking herself, but because of the occasion, she didn't dare to reprimand, so she could only hold back her breath.

At this time, the nurse hugged the eldest son Liang Xu and the second son Maomao.

Qin Shu put down the teacup, got up and hugged the two children one by one.

I haven't seen her for more than two months, and Xu'er doesn't recognize Qin Shu anymore, and when she is held by Qin Shu, she looks like she wants to cry or not, and she keeps looking at Xiao Ruxuan with a pair of eyes.

Xiao Ruxuan hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, this is grandmother, call grandmother quickly......"

Qin Shu looked at Xu'er with a smile and asked, "Xu'er can speak!" ”

Xiao Ruxuan hurriedly smiled and replied to Qin Shu: "Brother Xu will be one year old soon, and he can already say some words simply and walk a few steps." ”

After speaking, she coaxed Qin Xu again: "Brother Xu, hurry up and call grandmother!" She had specially taught Qin Xu to call people before.

Although Qin Xu is not her biological child, but if she is given to raise her, she must do her best, of course, she does take care of him very carefully, after all, Xu Er's meaning to her is extraordinary.

It's a pity that Qin Xu just didn't shout, but stretched out his hand to Xiao Ruxuan to hug him, which really made Xiao Ruxuan secretly anxious.

Qin Shu didn't embarrass him, and handed Xu'er over to Xiao Ruxuan, but sighed secretly in her heart, Xu'er is very well-raised, but she is afraid of life, and she is a little timid, this is not that Xiao Ruxuan deliberately cultivated this, but that he was born a little timid. When Qin Shu was taking care of him, he had already discovered the clues.

This is not good, and I really have to teach it well in the future.

As You'an's eldest son, how can he be timid and afraid!

said to Xiao Ruxuan: "He is still young, what do you know!" Teach him slowly in the future, don't embarrass him too much. ”

Xiao Ruxuan can only be.

Qin Shu hugged Mao Mao again, Mao Mao was white and fat, he seemed to have just eaten and slept enough, and now he was very energetic, he was looking at Qin Shu with wide eyes, and he didn't know what fun things he saw, so he showed a "toothless" smile, and his saliva flowed out of his laughter.

After Qin Shu saw it, she immediately said to Xiao Ruxuan in surprise: "Look at you, he actually smiled." ”

Zhao Hanqiu was really proud in his heart, and secretly said that his son was too long for himself, but he sighed in his mouth, and complained: "Mrs. Tai doesn't know, this little guy is only a little big, but his temper is very big, he is simply a demon king of the world, and crying is almost fatal." Usually he doesn't cry, sometimes he has a straight face, and I haven't seen him laugh a few times. When he saw a living person, people teased him, and he loved to ignore it. The first time he saw Mrs. Tai, he was so happy, he must have liked Mrs. Tai and felt that Mrs. Tai was close, so it would be like this! ”

Qin Shu said in surprise: "Really? How could he be? ”

After speaking, he looked at the child again, and when he looked again, he saw that he was tired of laughing, yawning slightly, and looked sleepy again. But Qin Shu inexplicably felt that he was more cute, and even got a little closer to him in her heart.

"That's it. He has so many fun places! If Mrs. Tai wants to hear it, I will tell Mrs. Tai one by one in the future. Zhao Hanqiu said with a smile.

"That's a good idea." Qin Shu said.

When the others saw Zhao Hanqiu talking to Mrs. Tai enthusiastically, and seeing Mrs. Tai like her son so much, they didn't feel good in their hearts, and a sour breath spread in their chests.

Especially Liang Shilan, the veil was crumpled by her, she was really jealous and angry in her heart, and her face was not very good-looking.

Xin's eyes were also hot, and it wasn't until he lowered his head and saw his stomach that he felt better.

As long as she gives birth to a son, she must find a way to let him show his face in front of Mrs. Tai, if he can get Mrs. Tai's like, then the creation will be great.

She must not let the Zhao family specialize in beauty.
