Chapter 483: Distressed
Today, unlike in the past, Mrs. Wu's expectation for Jiang Ke's triumphant return has become more and more urgent.
"It's been more than a month since the last small victory, why hasn't there been any movement in Mobei?" As soon as Mrs. Wu returned to Qinyi Courtyard, she asked about this.
Mother Lu couldn't answer, but she also understood why Mrs. Wu was so anxious, so she persuaded softly: "The things on the battlefield are in a hurry. When the prince went to Mobei, it took more than half a year to win a big victory, which was already considered fast......"
Of course, Mrs. Wu knows this.
However, she had to admit that Jiang Ke's trip to Mobei was different from the situation when Jiang Xuan went on the expedition.
Not to mention that Cui Yan, the prince of Wuding Hou, has almost laid the foundation this time, and the number of soldiers and horses in Fanmeng alone cannot be compared with the one two years ago.
According to her previous expectations, Jiang Ke should have made a quick decision a long time ago!
Mrs. Wu didn't care that this feats came late, but there have been too many changes in recent days.
Marquis Jingyuan died, the emperor died, King Jing succeeded to the throne, and Empress Dowager Wu and the emperor's eldest grandson lost power......
If all this news reaches Mobei, Jiang Ke's prestige in the army will definitely be greatly affected.
It's just that even if Mrs. Wu is in a hurry, the capital is thousands of miles away from Mobei, and she has nothing to do but pray for God's blessing......
At this time, no one in Yuyuan cares about this.
Although Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan have only seen each other for a day, too many things have happened in this day, and both of them have a lot of unsolved doubts.
Jiang Xuan suppressed the longing for Lu Qingrong in his heart, and first turned his head to explain to the general of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry: "Just now on top of the main hall. The emperor did not mention the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry, which by no means meant to ignore the merits of the soldiers. It was only because when the first emperor died, the situation in the capital was grim. The transfer of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry was really hasty, and it failed to follow the usual procedures...... It is inevitable that this will cause criticism. ”
The general immediately clenched his fists and replied, "The prince is serious. Zhenbei Tieqi is loyal to the monarch and protector, and he is by no means greedy for fame, not to mention that this time it is just a scene, and we dare not take credit. ”
Jiang Xuan praised his attitude, but disagreed with this statement: "The general should not be too humble, the emperor will reward him later." ”
This was not Jiang Xuan's speculation. But before he left the palace, the emperor told him personally.
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry this time, not only would the edict of the first emperor never have a chance to see the light of day again. Even the lives of many people, including myself, may not be saved.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan treated the generals of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry with special courtesy, and finally personally sent him out of the Hou Mansion.
When Jiang Xuan returned to Yuyuan, it was many days. He finally looked forward to being alone with Lu Qingrong at home.
The people have already dispersed in interest. Jiang Xuan took Lu Qingrong's hand, walked out of the front hall side by side, and walked towards the hall behind.
"You...... Okay? Jiang Xuan is most concerned about Lu Qingrong's body, now that she is four months pregnant, she still has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of going out of the city to transfer troops at a critical moment, which can't help but make Jiang Xuan feel guilty.
"Last night, it was really useless, and the forbidden army of the Inner Palace surrounded the Qinzheng Palace, just to watch a few of us. And outside, there were An Lebo's people sloppy watching, and Yu Linwei was sandwiched between them. Don't dare to act rashly. Jiang Xuan explained seriously, "At that time, I really couldn't think of any other safe way than to send someone to quietly deliver the news to you......
Lu Qingrong looked guilty at him, held his hand tightly, and shook it as he walked, and said with a relaxed smile: "I'm actually fine, after all, I don't have to climb that secret passage!" Didn't you see that when the little eunuch came out of Jinghu, he was drenched and embarrassed, and then in order not to delay the time, he didn't even have time to change his clothes and went to King Jing's Mansion. ”
Thinking of King Jing yesterday, today is already the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, Lu Qingrong sighed with emotion, and said: "Fortunately, that secret passage was discovered together when you were children, if not, I really don't know how to explain it to the emperor!" ”
Jiang Xuan looked at Lu Qingrong's tired but pretended relaxed appearance, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and look at her with a smile, his heart was full of distress.
"I'm tired!" Jiang Xuan said softly, "You must have stayed up all night, and you have traveled back and forth inside and outside the capital in person, not to mention that you are already weak and pregnant......
His gaze swept over Lu Qingrong's abdomen, and Jiang Xuan's voice softened a little: "If it weren't for the fact that your men's clothes are a little wide, you should have been able to see some of them." ”
Lu Qingrong has been very interested in his belly recently, and when he heard Jiang Xuan say this, he immediately let go of his hand and fixed the wide clothes from behind with his two hands, and the slightly bulging lower abdomen immediately appeared in front.
"Look at you!" Lu Qingrong was full of smiles.
With such a smug expression, Jiang Xuan saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but laugh along.
While laughing, he reached behind Lu Qingrong, gently grabbed her hand back, and continued to pull her forward.
"What do you look through your clothes?" Jiang Xuan pretended to be serious, "It's better to wait until I get back to the room and take my time." ”
"Okay!" Lu Qingrong was not only twisted, but very happy, which surprised Jiang Xuan.
I saw her caressing her lower abdomen with her other hand, and whispered: "I saw you before, I was in the Criminal Department, and it was inconvenient for you to talk to the child, but now that you have finally returned home, you can't just watch, but also talk to him more!" ”
Jiang Xuan was stunned for a long time before he remembered to nod, and at the same time smiled deeper.
The two simply went back to the inner room.
Jiang Xuan helped her to the side of the agarwood Arhat bed outside, helped her put the cushions behind her and at hand, and watched her lean comfortably inside, and then sat next to her.
"You'd better tell me about the transfer of troops last night, and it went well? Is there anyone who makes it difficult for you? "Jiang Xuan is really serious this time.
Lu Qingrong also put away his smile: "That's not true." We were in good time when we left the city, and at that time An Lebo had not been able to block all the nine gates, and when we returned to the city, behind us were the elite division of the Eight Thousand Town North Iron Cavalry, and An Lebo and those people were vulnerable. ”
"What about the Iron Rider in the north of the town?" Jiang Xuan asked again, "After all, that talisman has not been used for more than ten years, and if you want to transfer troops into Beijing in such a short period of time, it may not be easy for you to come forward by a woman." ”
"I'm not alone. The situation was urgent last night, because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get out of the city, so I didn't have time to go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion first. But after leaving the city, I stopped by the Fengtai camp, called my second cousin, and asked him to go with me to the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry Camp. Although he is not the son of the eldest uncle, he is always from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and it is definitely better than me as a woman. ”
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly, in his impression, the second cousin in the Fengtai camp, whether it was courage or strategy, was far from comparable to the eldest cousin in Mobei.
"But I underestimated him, and I used to think he was a cowardly ......."
Lu Qingrong smiled slightly: "You didn't underestimate him, he didn't do it voluntarily, I coerced him to go." ”
