Chapter 228: Hidden Worries

Lu Qingrong didn't understand why Jiang Yunpei had such a question.

The situation of the Fanmeng people is not to burn, kill and loot, disturb the people in the border areas, run away if they can't win, and run away after they win the war, what other situation can they have?

"Sister Jiang refers to?" Lu Qingrong was puzzled.

"Before the Marquis of Jingyuan set out on the expedition, did he mention to you the movements of the Fanmeng people this time?" Jiang Yunpei thought for a while, and then added: "For example, how many soldiers and horses do they have, and who is the leader of the troops?" ”

Lu Qingrong shook his head directly.

Jiang Xuan really didn't mention these things to him. Xu is he didn't feel that there was anything special to explain, Xu was afraid that he knew too much and became more and more worried, in short, he never mentioned too much about the recent situation of the Fanmeng people.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong didn't know anything, Jiang Yunpei hesitated slightly. Her husband and eldest brother both went to Mobei, which certainly made her doubly worried, and there was nowhere to talk about her worries on weekdays, so when she saw Lu Qingrong, she suddenly felt sympathy, and she inevitably had no scruples when she spoke.

Lu Qingrong saw her hesitation in his eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart was better than a qiΔ“: "Sister Jiang can't be like this, like this, I'm afraid I should have trouble sleeping when I go back!" ”

That's not an exaggeration.

Jiang Yunpei landed on Qingrong, walked to the corridor on the east side of the courtyard and sat down, and saw that there was no one around, so he slowly spoke: "I also heard my eldest brother say something scattered, it is said that the Panmeng people who looted on the border of Daqi this time are as many as tens of thousands. And the most different thing compared with the previous is that in the past, they only focused on robbing property, and did not love war, and most of them chose to dodge and flee against the soldiers and horses of our Great Qi, but this time it was like a provocation. This was the case with the Mobei garrison before, and the same was true for the reinforcements that later faced General Xu Yi. ”

"Why is that?" Lu Qingrong frowned slightly, and there was already a faint uneasiness in his heart, "It sounds like there is some deep hatred with Daqi......

"Exactly." Jiang Yunpei explained: "You may not know that General Zhenbei's victory in Mobei more than ten years ago captured General Fanmeng alive and brought him back to the capital, and it didn't take long for him to be executed. It is said that the two lost their parents since they were young, the eldest brother and younger brother, and the brotherly relationship is like that of father and son...... Anyway, this time they really got revenge. ”

Jiang Yunpei said that she was a little flustered, she didn't want to upset Lu Qingrong, but she couldn't hold these things in her heart.

Hearing this, Lu Qingrong suddenly remembered that when she first came to the Great Qi Dynasty, her body was only a one-year-old child, and she went to Henan with her father with her mother and sisters, and when she left Beijing and passed through Deshengmen, she saw Jiang Yuanzhao's triumphant return to Beijing. She did remember that there had been a prisoner car in the team, but as for the subsequent execution, she did not know about it because she had been away from Beijing for many years. At this time, the unkempt but fierce figure suddenly poured out of her mind, and the fierce eyes in her memory made her can't help but feel a thrill in her body.

Lu Qingrong already had some understanding.

However, Jiang Yunpei was still puzzled: "I heard these things from my eldest brother, but I don't quite understand it, since I want to take revenge, shouldn't I come to the capital to find General Zhenbei?" After all, that's the right thing. Or are they provoking trouble in Mobei, just so that the imperial court can send General Zhenbei to fight again, so that they can take revenge on the battlefield? If this is the case, it is still not General Zhenbei who is going this time, what should they do? ”

Jiang Yunpei said his doubts in one breath, and Jiang Ling was reluctant to explain more to her at first.

Lu Qingrong just shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lu Qingrong sighed lightly, "Although the Fanmeng people are barbarians, they also need to be famous, what can be more incendiary and full of fighting spirit than a shame in the past?" ”

Jiang Yunpei seemed to understand: "You mean, this is just a rhetoric, they don't really want revenge?" ”

"Perhaps." Lu Qingrong said vaguely, and then asked, "Did you hear anything else?" ”

Jiang Yunpei shook his head: "Since it was decided that I would go to Mobei with the Marquis of Jingyuan, my eldest brother has not mentioned these things again, and he refuses to say anything no matter how he asks." ”

"Did the Marquis of Wuding say anything?" Lu Qingrong asked about Cui Yan.

"He never told me about the court." Jiang Yunpei suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Qingrong didn't ask anymore, and persuaded softly: "Sister Jiang, don't worry too much, Daqi has been at war with Fanmeng for many years, and I don't know how many blood feuds there are, this is very ordinary." Our troops are not weak this time, the number is superior, and the food and grass are sufficient, even if the momentum of the Fanmeng people is fierce! Back then, General Zhenbei was able to capture General Fanmeng alive, and this time his younger brother Sato couldn't escape! ”

Jiang Yunpei nodded, feeling that someone could finally share these thoughts with her.

Lu Qingrong said with confidence, and those worries were all hidden in his heart.

At this time, she was more worried than ever.

I had always thought that the Fanmeng people had won the reinforcements led by General Xu Yi, and at the same time they had suffered heavy casualties, so they did not occupy the territory of the border and withdrew in a big way.

Now it seems that if Jiang Ling's words are indeed true, and the Fanmeng people are here for revenge, then this "retreat" does not know how true it is.

Most likely, this retreat is just a faΓ§ade, maybe they are waiting somewhere for the arrival of the Great Qi at the moment! Although it was not the general of Zhenbei who went on the expedition, I am afraid that the Fanmeng people would not know the relationship between Jiang Xuan and Jiang Yuanzhao's uncle and nephew......

Now that I think about it, the emperor sent Jiang Xuan on the expedition, which was simply a multiplicity. Internally, with the help of the momentum of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Zhenbei General's Mansion, it can better stabilize the morale of the army and control the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry; Externally, it can arouse the hatred that the Fanmeng people have hidden for many years, so as to fight them to the death! Originally, Fanmeng could not compete with the atmosphere in terms of manpower, financial resources, and material resources, and I was afraid that once they dived into the depths of Mobei, it would be difficult to be found again, and a lot of materials would be consumed at that time, but they would end up unable to fight. Now that Jiang Xuan is in charge, it is different, with his bright bait, even if the Fanmeng army really wants to withdraw, I am afraid it will change its mind halfway......

While Lu Qingrong deeply felt that the emperor was shrewd and calculating, he was more worried about Jiang Xuan's safety.

is both a banner and a bait, and at the same time he has to lead the army, Jiang Xuan's situation is so dangerous!

Lu Qingrong's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, but on the surface, he tried not to show his face, and when he saw Jiang Yunpei's face gradually softening, he went back to the hall of the Wisteria Pavilion with her.

Lu Qianyu in the hall had not been alone with Lu Fangyu for a long time, and she was already a little uncomfortable. I don't know why, when the fourth sister is not there, she doesn't dare to laugh casually in front of this eldest sister.

For Lu Qianyu, her closeness to Lu Qingrong seems to have become an unchangeable habit, even if Lu Qingrong has been married for a long time, this habit has not changed.

At this time, Lu Qianyu, as soon as she saw them coming in, immediately went over and grabbed Lu Qingrong's arm: "I asked my eldest sister to stay in the house for lunch, but she just refused, saying that she missed her son." It's finally out of confinement, and there is a nurse at home, can you still be hungry Brother Cheng? I'm going to get married tomorrow, and it's not easy for our sisters to get together again in the future. Help me persuade her! ”

Lu Qingrong looked at Lu Fangyu, who looked helpless, and said with a reluctant smile: "You have said all the words in this brain, what other words of persuasion can I come up with?" ”

Lu Qianyu smiled, it was rare that she didn't refute, but complained about her: "I didn't have time to shout just now, you went out, what time is it, my mother didn't go out until the beginning of the morning today, and it is impossible to come back at this time!" ”

Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei smiled silently.

Lu Fangyu sighed in her heart, Lu Qianyu's straightforward temperament, if she marries Yin Zihao in the future, it is estimated that there will not be much change. Come to think of it, this is not a blessing.

"You two don't want to go too, do you?" Lu Qianyu asked suddenly. No matter how good she is at observing words and feelings, she also found that after Lu Qingrong and Jiang Yunpei came back, they were a little absent-minded.

"We're fine." Lu Qingrong no longer worries about the sky, but joked, "The wedding banquet is the most tormenting person, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to talk all day long, let's talk to you today!" ”

Lu Qianyu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the lotus leaf that broke in in a panic.

"Second Miss, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Qianyu frowned and asked.

"Just now, the eldest grandmother sent someone back to say, the third master...... Beat someone up in Guangyin Temple! Lotus Ye hurriedly replied.

The crowd was shocked.

Lu Qingrong knew that the eldest grandmother in her mouth was their sister-in-law Fan, and the third master was the brother Xu.

It's just that Brother Xu is not yet six years old, and he can start beating people?

"What the hell is going on?" Lu Qianyu was equally puzzled.

"The slave and maid can't say clearly......" Lotus Ye was so anxious that she almost cried.

Seeing that this lotus leaf was not very neat in speaking, Lu Qingrong directly ordered: "Who did the eldest grandmother send back, let her come in and talk back!" ”

Waited until the maid named Su Mei came in, and then talked about it: "In the morning, I arrived at Guangyin Temple, after the masters burned incense, the eldest lady went to listen to the monk's lecture, and the eldest grandmother waited in the backyard with the third master, one was not careful, and the third master and a child in the backyard who looked at it was three or four years old, and when the eldest grandmother rushed over, the child was lying on the ground crying, saying that the third master beat him, and then the child's mother also came, and asked the third master to admit their mistakes, but the third master refused to bow his head no matter what he said...... The family is not reluctant, it doesn't matter if we compensate, and the third master has to admit his mistake, so the matter is deadlocked there. The eldest grandmother asked the slave to come back first to get the silver ticket, and she happened to meet Sister Lotus Ye, so she didn't hide it......"

Su Mei said it clearly, but it was still unbelievable.

"Where is the child who was beaten?" Lu Qingrong asked suddenly.

"It's the son of the family of Lord Nakaga of the Ministry of Rites, what's your name...... Brother Lan. ”R1152
