"How long will it take?" After being silent for a moment, Mother Deng looked at Deng Ai and asked, support Liu Yi, she is naturally willing, but her son is not young, this time Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi even asked the Queen Mother to come forward to help Deng Ai be a matchmaker, the daughter of the Guan family, Mother Deng has naturally seen it, as for the door...... It's hard to say.

If you are in terms of current identity, Guan Yu is a very big general, and there are not many people who can match him, but the Deng family is a century-old family, and Guan Yu belongs to the nouveau riche in the eyes of many families, and he can't even find the source if he counts up, but the Guan family's daughter Deng Mu has seen it and is still very satisfied.

In this era, the words of the parents' matchmaker are the main stream, and free love like Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi can still have a good result, after all, it is very rare, for Deng's mother, the current son's marriage is obviously more important.

"Half a year to a year." Deng Ai thought for a while.

This time, I went to help Liu Yi sort out the affairs of Tuntian, forming a fixed model or system, and there was no need to stay there all the time.

"Now that General Guan is also fighting outside, in that case, my son can go to help Mr. first." Mother Deng nodded, as for the marriage, no matter what, it will have to wait until Guan Yu comes back.

"Mother, the child wants to ......" Deng Ai glanced at Lu Lingqi with some hesitation, bowed his head and said nothing.

"What do you want? If you have something to say, Madame is not an outsider, she watched you grow up. Mother Deng glared at Deng Ai and said.

"The child wants to take his mother and relatives to Lian County." Deng Ai bowed his head and said.

Deng Shi was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Lingqi, but saw that Lu Lingqi did not have too many different colors on her face, and then looked at Deng Ai and frowned: "Why is this?" ”

"The child also wants to take care of the mother." Deng Ai bowed.

Deng Shi was silent for a long time, and then shook his head faintly and said: "No, I don't want to run around for my mother now, and I want to get married for you, if you just go for a year and a half, you can wait for your mother, you can go, you must try your best to help Mr. succeed." ”

"Sister-in-law~" Lu Lingqi opened her mouth to persuade her, after all, this is also Deng Ai's filial piety.

Deng shook his head and said: "Madame, don't persuade me, I can't accompany him for a lifetime, besides, I'm a woman, and I don't know how to march and fight, so it will distract him if I go, and since the Queen Mother has agreed to talk about the matchmaker, the concubine body needs to be prepared earlier." ”

Lu Lingqi couldn't persuade her anymore when she heard this, what Deng Ai was thinking, she might be able to understand a little, but as she grew older and her experience improved, Lu Lingqi gradually understood that some things are just a dead knot that can't be untied, just like her husband said, it's better not to see each other.

Although Deng Ai is smart, he is still young after all, and there are some things that I am afraid will only be understood when I am a father, and sometimes parents can sacrifice themselves for the sake of their children.

Seeing his mother's resolute attitude, Deng Ai could only sigh silently in the end, saluted Lu Lingqi and the Deng family, and went to prepare his bags.

Looking at the back of his son leaving, Deng silently leaned on Lu Lingqi's side and was silent.

"If my sister-in-law finds it boring, she will come to my house during the time when Elle is away, and Elle's marriage will be easy to discuss." Lu Lingqi put her arm around Deng's shoulders and smiled.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother Madame." Deng wanted to refuse, but it was related to Deng Ai's marriage, so he finally nodded and agreed: "Ming'er may not have come to see the concubine for a long time." ”

"Why are you so polite between me and you?" Lu Lingqi smiled and patted Deng's hand and said, "Ming'er is also worried about the canonization of the Son of Heaven during this time. ”

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Deng looked at Lu Lingqi puzzled and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. is also surnamed Liu, Ming'er has been favored by the first emperor since he was a child, and he is also quite close to today's son, and now he is named a princess, it is a royal favor, why not?" ”

"I don't understand these truths too well, but Ming'er always says that when grace is extreme, it is the day of destruction." In the end, Lu Lingqi also had a little haze on her face, after all, Liu Yi has been running for Liu Bei all his life, working hard for the Han Dynasty, cultivating talents, and never failing the Han at all, his daughter's words are a little scary.

Deng's face also changed, and he looked at Lu Lingqi: "Madam, have you ever said this to others?" ”

"Never." Lu Lingqi shook her head and looked at Deng with some doubts: "Sister-in-law won't believe her, right?" ”

"Madam, although Ming'er is sometimes stubborn, she sees things very clearly, and there must be a reason for this." Deng shook his head and said: "The three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Mrs. should know, and there is no objection, but what will happen in the end, Mrs. should be clear, today's eyes, out of your mouth, into my ears, no one else can know, otherwise there will be disaster!" ”

"That little emperor dares to treat meritorious heroes like this?" When Lu Lingqi heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and a vicious aura spread.

"Madame, be careful!" Deng went out a little uneasy, looked left and right, and then came back and said in a low voice: "Jun's heart is unpredictable, although Ming'er is a woman, but her talent is rare in the world, she has made such a statement, there must be a basis, Mrs. does not have to speculate, I think...... Mr. may not have similar worries, but since Ming'er doesn't tell Mr. at the moment, there must be no certainty, but Madame, don't tell others here, you can often go to the palace and walk around with the Queen Mother, as for the rest, I will talk about it later. ”

Seeing that what Deng said was serious, Lu Lingqi also calmed down, nodded silently and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for mentioning it." ”

Deng sighed, silently packed his things, and prepared to follow Lu Lingqi to Liu's Mansion after sending Deng Ai away, he was still a little embarrassed before, but now, Deng was worried that Lu Lingqi said the wrong thing, or encountered something that was difficult to solve and no one to discuss.

Now Liu Yi is far away in Lian County, Deng Ai is about to travel away, and Liu Cheng is nowhere to be found, now in this Chang'an City, even though Sikong Mansion is in a high position, but sometimes the higher the status, it may not be a good thing.

"Mother, what are you ......" Deng Ai packed up and came to leave, but when he saw that Deng's mother had also prepared her bags, she asked a little stunned, didn't she say she wouldn't leave?

"My son is also gone, for my mother to stay here alone, it is inevitable to be lonely, just to prepare for your marriage, so I will go to Sikong Mansion with my wife to live for a while, first, to prepare for your marriage, second, I also have a companion with your aunt." Deng Shi looked at Deng Aidao with a smile.

"The child sends his mother." When Deng Ai heard this, he felt that this was also the case, after all, he was gone, his mother was a woman's family, and there were not too many people here, so it was also a good thing to be able to follow Lu Lingqi.

"It's fine." Deng did not refuse, and her mother was worried, she believed that Liu Yi would not treat Deng Ai badly, but after all, she was going to a wild place, and danger was inevitable, so she still wanted to stay for a while after all.

In the end, it was Deng Ai who wanted to send his mother, but in the end, Deng Ai and Lu Lingqi sent Deng Ai outside the city, and watched Deng Ai get on the rail car to go north, so he sighed and followed Lu Lingqi back.

"Sister-in-law don't worry." Looking at the direction of Deng Ai's departure, Lu Lingqi smiled and said: "Ai'er's ability is not weak, and there are many strong generals around her husband this time, Ai'er will be fine." ”

"I just hope that my son can make a contribution sooner." Deng sighed and returned to Sikong Mansion with Lu Lingqi.

……

"The water flow here is slow, and after winter, it is most likely to freeze, and the defense needs to be strengthened!" Fifty miles north of Lian County, Liu Yi took Pang De and others to explore the river and further strengthen the defenses, in case the Xiongnu or Xianbei people took advantage of the situation to cross the river after the river froze in winter.

"Sikong, right now, our army's farm has been built in the area of Yueshi City, even if the Hu people want to invade, they must fight there first, why build another Great Wall here?" Pang De looked at Liu Yi with some puzzlement, he didn't understand what was the significance of Liu Yi building such a long wooden Great Wall?

"Why?" Liu Yi pointed to the other side and said: "Recently, the Southern Xiongnu have been moving north, as small as between the tribes, as large as between Tuoba Xianbei and Nanxiongnu, disputes are becoming more and more frequent, then Tuoba or Southern Xiongnu want to solve this disaster, they have to take down Lian County and drive us away, so that these disputes can be eliminated, if I am a single Yu of the two clans, I will not attack those farms, but first attack Lian County, if we can drive our army away, there is no slave trade, this dispute will be resolved, so in the end, it is inevitable that there will be a war." ”

"Sikong just used a little trick, and he let Xianbei and the Huns mess up, which is really powerful." Pang De said with a smile, he and Liu Yi have been for a while, and there are many big battles experienced, but in fact, including the battle of Luoyang, there is basically nothing too difficult, Liu Yi is forcing Xianbei and the Xiongnu to attack the city, the bad thing is that even if the two clans know Liu Yi's plans, they can only follow the path that Liu Yi gave them.

"That's what they can do, because there are too many evils of the tribal era, especially slavery, which still exists, so we can use it to make it chaotic." Liu Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "In addition, there must be a lot of financial support, 20,000 elite soldiers are stationed here, so that the two clans are at a loss, if there is a little bit of it, this plan will not be successful." ”

If there is no army to suppress it, or the Han army is far inferior to the Huns, just like the Song Dynasty in later generations, people do not need to assemble the whole army, gather thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat you into an army, the so-called trick is just talking on paper, there is no meaning, Liu Yi is now using this method to bully people, it is a routine of high-level civilization to deal with low-level civilization, the clever plan is not to talk about, without huge financial resources and strong military deterrence, there will be no today's trend.

"That's also very powerful, fighting with Sikong is comfortable." Pound laughed.

"This battle has not yet been fought, don't be happy too early, although it is not a theorem that the arrogant army will be defeated, but it is not necessarily wrong, for the general, if you want to be undefeated, you can only be cautious and cautious, and be cautious!" Liu Yi glanced at Pang De, shook his head and smiled.

"Sir, what if those Hu people come around the city to attack?" Pang De looked at Liu Yi with some puzzlement, although there were a lot of 20,000 soldiers and horses, but this stretching for hundreds of miles of the Great Wall was scattered, and I am afraid that only his personal guards were left by Liu Yi's side.

"Collect the tolls." Liu Yi pointed to the mountain range behind him and said with a smile: "Why do you think I want to leave a gap for them to come in?" Then the second fortification is dedicated to this purpose! I'm not going to fight unprepared battles! ”
