Chapter 387: Lu Lingqi's persistence
Nanshengmi naturally didn't know what Liu Qi was thinking, in fact, even Lu Xun didn't know why Liu Qi hated the Japanese slaves so much, let alone him, a Japanese who was not familiar with Liu Qi at all? Therefore, he still regarded Liu Qi as the Han emperor who kept his promise in the past, and after thanking Liu Qi for his kindness, he left Xiangyang in a hurry, and went to meet Lu Xun with the messenger sent by Liu Qi to Yizhou.
As soon as Nanshengmi left, Liu Qi heard a rush of footsteps outside the palace gate, and then saw a woman dressed in military uniform hurriedly walking over and saluting him: "The last general, Lu Lingqi, will see the king of Chu." ”
The person who came was Lu Lingqi, after winning the battle in Chang'an, they returned to Xiangyang, after Liu Qi was promoted to the king of Chu, they were rewarded according to their military exploits, Lu Lingqi was the female soldier governor, the general of the left guard, and the fourth product; Zhu Rong is the deputy governor of the female soldiers, the general of Nanzhong Lang, from the fourth grade; Sun Shangxiang is a female soldier Sima, a general of Xizhong Lang, from the fourth grade; Xin Xianying joined the army as a female soldier, and was a general of Beizhong Lang, from the fourth grade; Guo Huan is a female soldier in the long history, Dongzhong Lang General, from the fourth grade; The step trainer and Wang Yi are the left and right governors under the account, and they are five products.
Today's Lu Lingqi is actually much worse than many generals in the palace if she talks about military positions, even if she is the military Sima Ding Feng of the Xiao Guard Army, her grades are now already the fourth grade, but Lu Lingqi has a special advantage, that is, she is the only female commander in the army, and she is as beautiful as a flower, plus the unclear relationship between her sister and brother with Liu Qi, so she is the only official in Dachu who does not need to wait outside the palace gate except for Xiangguo Jia Xu and Shangshu Ling Pei Qian.
Liu Qi smiled and let her get up, and said slowly: "I don't know what is the important matter for General Lu to come to see this king?" ”
Lu Lingqi was also not polite, and said directly to the point: "The last general heard that the envoy of the Wa Kingdom contributed a lot of Wa girls to the King of Chu, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Hehe, you're well informed. Yes, this is true, could it be that General Lu is here for them? Liu Qi actually knew Lu Lingqi's intentions for a long time, but he still asked knowingly.
"The king is right, it is indeed for them, and the king knows it. In fact, the female soldiers in our army can't stay for a few years, they have to marry after they are over twenty, otherwise they will be wrong for life, although some of the female soldiers under my command have been recruited in recent years, but there are also a lot of marriages, in recent years, because of the king's policy of encouraging female soldiers to marry, there are many more marriages than recruits, so the last general asked to transfer these widows to our army. Well, they are all widows, they don't need to get married, and in a few years, they can train a group of elite backbones for our army. ”
Lu Lingqi didn't go around in circles, and directly said her thoughts.
Liu Qi pondered for a moment, and just wanted to nod, when he suddenly heard the guard's report: "King Qiqi, Mrs. Diao Chan and Princess Da Qiao and Princess Xiao Qiao jointly ask to see you." ”
Liu Qi was stunned. glanced at Lu Lingqi apologetically, and then let them in.
A moment later. Seeing the fragrant wind drifting by, Diao Chan, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao slowly walked in front of them, these three women all have peerless appearances, and now they are three peerless beauties standing together, even Lu Lingqi, who was originally considered a first-class appearance, was overshadowed.
For Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Liu Qi doesn't need to be polite. But Liu Qi didn't expect Diao Chan to come this time, this is the first time since he came to Xiangyang, so Liu Qi had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "I don't know what Mrs. has to say when she comes to this palace?" ”
But I heard Diao Chan glance at Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and slowly said, "The concubine took the liberty to disturb this time. Please forgive me. In fact, the reason why the concubine came here was mainly because she heard that the envoys of the Japanese kingdom had sacrificed a large number of Japanese women. The concubine and the two princesses of the bridge have always had dealings, they talked very happily, the concubine is good at dancing, the little princess Qiao is good at stroking the qin, and the big Qiao princess is good at singing, the three of us are together, it is a wonderful combination, but there is an inconvenience here, the concubine is just down, the two princesses are now noble, how can they do music and songs to make people laugh? But the concubines and others did not want to lose this skill, so after the concubines and others discussed, they thought about whether they could select some of these Japanese women who could sing and dance, and treat them as disciples to cultivate carefully. ”
Liu Qi listened to Diao Chan's words, and suddenly felt a lot of reason in his heart, this time he was the king of Chu, and the palace seemed very pure, with his dignified Chu king, he couldn't even take out some decent music and dance, and even he felt a little embarrassed, and now since Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao thought of this at the same time, he was naturally very pleased.
Of course, he also knew that it was because Big Joe and Little Joe had come up with something that they could do because they couldn't help him, so how could he refuse their kindness?
What's more, Diao Chan has never asked for anything since he came to Xiangyang, and today he took the initiative to ask for it, and it was for his own good, how could he refuse?
But seeing Lu Lingqi's dissatisfaction, Liu Qi suddenly hesitated, and now the two families are scrambling to get these widows, and he is not good at favoring one over the other, and he can't help but feel embarrassed.
At this time, Lu Lingqi was not satisfied, and immediately said to Diao Chan: "What are you doing here?" Did you deliberately embarrass me? Don't you know that I have a crush on these widows? ”
Although Diao Chan is Lu Lingqi's mother-in-law, but in Lu Lingqi's heart, this Diao Chan first followed her father Lu Bu, and then she was innocent with Qin Yilu, and then she was robbed by Cao Cao, which is really a bit unsightly, not to mention that even if Diao Chan returns to Lu Bu's name, she is just a concubine, how can she compare with her mother and daughter?
Because of this, she has never put Diao Chan in her eyes, although she loves Diao Chan's son Lu Lang as her own brother, but she doesn't like Diao Chan, and now she sees Diao Chan wanting to destroy her good deeds, and Da Qiao Xiao Qiao is the princess, she didn't dare to say anything, so she naturally aimed her anger at Diao Chan.
But Diao Chan was not angry with Lu Lingqi, but said with a smile: "Qi'er, there is something wrong with what you said, there are a lot of these widows, why can't I choose some?" The rest is enough for you to choose, I know it's not easy for you to recruit female soldiers, but this benefit can't be exclusive to you, right? Besides, I am also thinking about Da Chu, not my own selfishness, not to mention that this is also approved by the two princesses. ”
Lu Lingqi snorted: "It's clear that you bewitched the two princesses, but you used them to pressure me, you woman, in addition to bewitching people, what other abilities do you have?" ”
At this time, he heard Xiao Qiao teach with a straight face: "General Lu, did you talk like that?" Sister Diao Chan is your concubine no matter what, how can you be so rude to your concubine? What's more, she didn't do anything to be sorry for you, it was the idea of the two of us sisters to choose a widow to train them to sing and dance, if you want to blame, blame us, there is no need to accuse Sang and scold Huai here, and it is not the one who accuses our sisters. ”
Although Lu Lingqi dared to be unkind to Liu Qi, she didn't dare to be so unkind to Liu Qi's woman, she saw Xiao Qiao speaking so harshly, and she was also worried in her heart, and hurriedly respectfully said: "The princess has misunderstood, how dare the last general accuse the princess?" The last general is just talking about this woman, although she is old, she still wants to seduce others with her appearance, and today she wants to cultivate disciples, so that her disciples can charm others again, such a woman really can't be friends, and please ask the princesses to be cautious about dating them in the future......."
"Shut up!" Before Lu Lingqi could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Xiao Qiao: "You girl is so ignorant, do you know who took care of your family during your time as a general?" Who is serving your mother? The last time your mother was seriously ill, Sister Diao Chan waited by her side day and night, for three whole days, hungry and thin, she in order to make your mother happy, she actually learned the method of cooking from the kitchen lady in the house, a pair of eyes were red, and she was pitiful for a great beauty who fell into the country and the city, and now she actually fell into a problem of tears in the wind. There are also the cloth armor and shoes you are wearing, which of these things is not made by Sister Diao Chan, in order to learn to do this, she doesn't know how many times these hands have been pierced, and the hands that were originally as tender as jade are now like dried ginger. ”
After that, I saw Xiao Qiao grab Diao Chan's hand, and said angrily: "If you don't believe it, come and take a look, what do you see like her hand?" You may also go back to your home and ask your mother to see if what I say is true. ”
I saw Diao Chan said: "Don't be angry, the princess must not be angry, Qi'er actually has no malice towards the concubine, she just deliberately used these words to anger me in order to be able to get these widows, in fact, she takes care of our mother and son very much, especially for Lang'er, there is no difference between her brother and her own brother, their mother and daughter are so tolerant of our mother and son, Diao Chan has nothing to repay, as for taking care of the eldest sister and Qi'er, this is just Diao Chan's duty, and it is not worth boasting about at all."
Lu Lingqi really saw that Diao Chan's hand was like half of dried ginger, no longer as tender as it was at the beginning, and saw Diao Chan pleading with her, her heart was suddenly shocked, and she had no doubt about Xiao Qiao's words, and hurriedly said with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, why didn't you say these things earlier?" Qi'er misunderstood you, Qi'er is really embarrassed. Please rest assured that Qi'er will not make such a mistake in the future, and she will treat her aunt well. ”
For a general who goes to the battlefield, such a poisonous oath is the most taboo, and since Lu Lingqi said so, it proves that her repentance is absolutely sincere.
Diao Chan listened to Lu Lingqi's words, and her heart was also excited, because Lu Bu's daughter finally recognized her.
But what is unexpected is that Lu Lingqi said seriously: "Now there will never be any distrust between Qi'er and my aunt, Qi'er will definitely respect you as much as her mother, but for the matter of the widow, Qi'er is still unwilling to give up, although the aunt and the two princesses are here, I will also fight with reason, because I am also for state affairs, I dare not show favoritism, and I will ask the king to answer what I ask for at the end of today." “
After finishing speaking, Lu Lingqi bowed to Liu Qi Yingying, and her eyes waited for Liu Qi's reply for a moment. (To be continued......)
