Chapter 396: War
Lu Qingrong didn't know that the dark tide was surging on the side of Fengyuan.
And Lu Manyu tried her best to invite Qiu Jinting to the palace for a banquet, but she didn't immediately go to Fengyuan to tell it.
I always feel that it is better to discuss it with Jiang Xuan first.
In the evening.
Jiang Xuan came back from the palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Qingrong reclining on the agarwood arhat bed, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled slightly.
He didn't bother to change his clothes, he went over and sat down to observe Lu Qingrong up close.
"When you enter the palace in the afternoon, are you tired?" Jiang Xuan asked softly.
Lu Qingrong heard that he would ask this first as soon as he came back, so he couldn't get angry anymore and shook his head: "It's just that I sat with my third sister for a while, and it's not as restrained as entering the palace in the past, and it's not tired." ”
Jiang Xuan didn't believe it very much, seeing that she shook her head with a hint of laziness, he couldn't help but blame himself, and said, "If I had known that you were going to enter the palace today, last night, I shouldn't have troubled you for so long." ”
Lu Qingrong pursed his lips slightly, and glanced at him, full of disgust.
Jiang Xuan took advantage of the situation to hold her hand and promised with a serious face: "I will definitely control my ...... in the future."
"Who wants you to be temperate!" Lu Qingrong retorted indiscriminately.
Originally, I just wanted to interrupt him, but as soon as these words came out, they brought such ambiguity.
Lu Qingrong was secretly annoyed, and when he saw Jiang Xuan's face that seemed to be smiling, his eyes widened even more.
Knowing that discussing these with him would never have the upper hand, Lu Qingrong simply asked, "Why did you go to the palace?" ”
Jiang Xuan put away his smile and said truthfully: "It's Mobei who has made trouble again." Sato's escape back to Mobei, the emperor can't hide it if he wants to. This time he gathered a large number of soldiers. There are tens of thousands of people, provoking in the border of our Daqi, with a posture of revenge. ”
"Is the situation serious?" Lu Qingrong's face was worried.
"Not really." Jiang Xuan said lightly: "Great Qi territory. The territory is vast, and there are often such piecemeal skirmishes at the various borders. It's just that this Sato is a little different, although he doesn't have a strong team in his hands, but he is a great general after all, and the escape from prison has caused the emperor's face, so he has been paid special attention to. Originally, the defenders of Jiayuguan could already contend with it, but the emperor still planned to send some more men over. That's when they came to me to discuss the matter. ”
"I won't let you go to Mobei again, right?" Lu Qingrong asked anxiously.
Jiang Xuan looked at her frowning appearance, and couldn't help but lean over and peck her lips lightly.
It was rare that Lu Qingrong didn't dodge or dodge, still staring at him persistently and waiting for a reply.
Jiang Xuan smiled. Hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, this time the formation will never be as troublesome as you need your husband to come out." In fact, the emperor finally sent Cui Yan to Mobei. It's really overkill. ”
When listening to the first half of his joke. Lu Qingrong was still not at ease, and it was only when she learned that the candidate had been determined that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief: "Come to think of it, the emperor wants to be nine out of ten." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Xuan nodded, "It was because the emperor said so that I recommended him." The last time he went to Mobei, Cui Yan was one of the deputy generals of the army, and his performance was remarkable. And I have accumulated a lot of experience, so I can use it this time. For him. Although the emperor only gave him 20,000 horses this time, he was the one in command after all, and his achievements when he came back could be heavier than the last time. ”
Lu Qingrong saw that the emperor attached so much importance to this matter, and suddenly remembered: "Although this is not a big war, but the emperor attaches so much importance to it, will it cancel the Duanyang banquet because of this?" ”
"Not really!" Jiang Xuan smiled, shook Lu Qingrong's hand and asked, "Why did you think of going there?" ”
Lu Qingrong hurriedly relayed what Lu Manyu said to him today.
"I haven't figured out why she wants the county lord to enter the palace for a banquet so much." Lu Qingrong said.
"When you were a girl, your third sister was very close to the county lord?" Jiang Xuan asked.
"Just because I'm not close, I always feel weird in my heart, I'm afraid that there is something mysterious in it." Lu Qingrong told the truth.
"The Duanyang Festival is still a few days away, I'll pay attention to it." Jiang Xuan was silent for a long time, and then said: "As for your third sister's words, let's pass them on to the county lord truthfully." She has often walked in the palace since she was a child, and this vigilance is still there. If you think it's weird, she's bound to weigh it too. ”
Lu Qingrong bowed slightly, secretly hoping that he was thinking too much.
And with Qiu Jinting's recent temperament, he may not plan to go to the banquet at all......
Jiang Xuan put this matter aside for the time being.
"I'll go to the Marquis of Wuding Mansion in a while, and I won't accompany you to eat at night." Jiang Xuan explained: "This time Cui Yan is in a hurry, and he will leave tomorrow, I went over to get together with him and Jiang Ling, and I should see him off." ”
"Jiang Ling?" Lu Qingrong didn't shy away from it, and wondered: "He won't go to Mobei again, right?" ”
Jiang Xuan nodded: "I don't understand either." He just passed the exam this year, and if he was replaced by someone else, he would definitely be studying hard at home, hoping that next year's meeting will try to be a title on the gold list. It's rare to find someone as confident as he is. ”
Lu Qingrong knew that Jiang Ling was not confident, but he didn't care about these fame at all.
Even if it is the champion, in his heart, it is estimated that it can only be used to bargain with his father Jiang Shenzhi, and nothing else.
"As you said, the Marquis of Wuding already has the experience of fighting in Mobei, what else do you need him to do?" Lu Qingrong didn't understand.
"It's not Cui Yan who wants to invite him, it's he who begged Cui Yan to take him. I heard that there was a conflict with my father at home, so I wanted to go out and hide quietly. Jiang Xuan said.
"Go and hide on the battlefield! I'm afraid that's the only way he can do such a thing. Lu Qingrong sighed sincerely, accompanied by a wry smile.
In Jiang Xuan's eyes, a wry smile is also a smile.
Discovering Jiang Xuan's abnormality, Lu Qingrong continued: "I remembered that my second sister and Sister Jiang mentioned before, and now the threshold of Xie Yuanlang's family is about to be broken by the matchmakers, so I especially want to be quiet!" ”
It's not a secret, it's been known in the streets.
Jiang Xuan naturally knew about it, even including Jiang Ling's bizarre criteria for choosing a wife. On weekdays, Cui Yan is often teased, saying that it is good that he likes women who love to read, but since he doesn't like female celebrities, he doesn't ask for them, but he has to take "not good female celebrities" as a standard, so where can I find people who meet the requirements......
After losing his mind for a moment, Jiang Xuan turned to ask, "Do you want to go together?" Mrs. Hou Shizi of Wuding must be very welcome. ”
Lu Qingrong hurriedly shook her head, she really didn't have the strength to go out today.
"When the Hou Shizi of Wuding leaves, I'll go over and talk to Sister Jiang, and I won't join in the fun with you today."
Jiang Xuan didn't force it, and told her to rest early before leaving alone.
Lu Qingrong didn't stop.
Jiang Xuan went out with his front foot, and the people from Lichun Courtyard arrived with his back foot. (To be continued......)
