Chapter 126: Ambush
Thinking of the situation of the Wang family, Qin Chu really couldn't give a guarantee.
"If you and Wang Tong don't want to, they can't help it, can they?"
I don't know what the purpose of the sister-in-law of the Wang family is, Qin Chu feels that Yuan Niang's first child will not pass on. Even if they wanted to, Wang Tong probably wouldn't agree.
"Chu Chu, you don't know......" Yuan Niang glanced at her, lowered her head again, and said softly: "The family has always been what the mother says, she has always been partial to the sister-in-law, since the sister-in-law is difficult to produce Dani, she ......"
Yuan Niang organized the language in her heart, and spoke again: "...... My sister-in-law sometimes has a bad temper, and the whole family tries to let her. I think this is what she said this time, I think ......."
"Don't worry, this is your and Wang Tong's first child, he will definitely not agree."
Even if Qin Chu said this, it did not appease Yuan Niang's restless heart at all.
However, she also knew that Qin Chu couldn't help much in this matter.
Yuan Niang folded her hands on her legs, rubbed them back and forth twice, looked up at Qin Chu again, and said, "Actually, I still want to come back to do things, I don't know ......."
Many modern women will continue to work after pregnancy, and going out for a walk every day to contact some new people and things is also very good for Yuan Niang's mood regulation. Moreover, there are not many things in the store, and there is no heavy work, so Qin Chu naturally will not object.
It's just that when I think of how much the Wang family attaches importance to her fetus, in case ......
Qin Chu glanced at Yuan Niang's gradually darkening gaze, and nodded lightly: "I naturally welcome you to come back, but this is not a trivial matter after all, you had better ask Wang Tong's opinion." If he doesn't object, you can come tomorrow, my mother has not been in good health recently, and I just want Qing'er to go back to take care of her."
When Yuan Niang heard Qin Chu say this, a smile finally appeared on her face.
I don't know how Yuan Niang communicated with Wang Tong after she went back, anyway, from the morning of the second day, she began to continue to work in the store.
Qin Chu was afraid that she would be unwell when she was pregnant, so she deliberately asked her to come over at nine o'clock every day and get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon. This way you won't get tired and you can get enough sleep.
As a result, Yuan Niang had just worked in the store for two days, and Wang Tong came over to help her quit early on the morning of the third day.
“…… After all, she is pregnant, and her family is not at ease. Wang Tong scratched his head as he spoke, and looked at Qin Chu with an apologetic expression.
Originally, she just wanted Yuan Niang to relax, but now that Wang Tong said this, she can understand. I didn't think about anything else, I nodded and agreed.
At noon, Qin Chu went out to buy vegetables with a basket, and was walking on the street, when he suddenly heard someone whispering, "Have you heard?" The princess sent by the imperial court to the north and relatives died of illness as soon as she arrived."
"Death?"
"Shhhh The person who spoke first suddenly said in a false voice: "It is said that it is not adapted to the water and soil, who does not know that the north is growing stronger now, this is not taking the current emperor in his eyes at all." ”
"I heard that this time it was the emperor's most favored princess who was sent to kiss him, and now that this is the case, the court must have done something, right?"
"But no, I heard that the prince and their faction were scolded by the emperor for being a bloody squirt, this time King Qin took the initiative to ask for help, and he was bound to let the Yi people know that we were powerful......"
Qin Chu looked at the two people who had been walking in front of him, and suddenly turned around and walked towards a shop on the street, and he didn't take it seriously. Keep walking.
However, it was said that Yang Zhengming had originally received a secret letter from Yan Junshi, informing him that King Qin had prepared to lead his troops to fight in person. Let him be ready, and then the imperial court will draw manpower from them, and together with the King of Qin, it is a good time for him to be promoted through meritorious service.
But he was afraid that Mother Yang and Qin Chu would be worried, so he kept it secret and never talked about it with them.
Yang Zhengming glanced at the appointment on the table again, and wondered in his heart how to talk to the two of them after he went back.
This time, the imperial court was bound to win, and the King of Qin personally led the troops to fight. Although it is obvious that he is going to earn military merits, no one can say how long he will go, and he is really a little worried about leaving them behind.
On the other side, in Gaofuli, Gao Yun and Xu Jiaojiao were sitting at the top, and Ma Yongqing was standing straight, looking ready to wait for the general to send him.
"Do you know what I called you here today?" Xu Jiaojiao glanced at General Gao, and seeing that he did not object, she spoke.
"The subordinates don't know". Ma Yongqing's eyes were downward, looking at the place about a meter in front of his feet, and his expression was extremely respectful.
Gao Yun nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "I just received the news that the emperor ordered that the king of Qin should lead 200,000 troops to conquer the northern land."
Ma Yongqing's eyes lit up unconsciously. Who knows that a soldier can only quickly accumulate military merits if he has a battle to fight, so as to be promoted to a knighthood and a wife and son.
"But you want to send people from us? subordinates are willing to go". Ma Yongqing clenched his fists with both hands, looked at Gao Yun with hope on his face.
Gao Yun stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said, "I naturally hope you can go."
Gao Yun carefully studied the expression on his face, and saw that he really changed color when he heard this sentence, and the corners of his mouth were curled, but he didn't speak.
On the contrary, Xu Jiaojiao, who was on the side, observed the words and said, "It's a pity that the boss directly asked for the past surnamed Yang." He's already above you, so we can't say anything."
Ma Yongqing's eyes sank, his face tightened unconsciously, and the muscles on his cheeks moved up and down twice.
"But ......" Xu Jiaojiao said with a smile: "There are no absolutes in everything, in case someone else has an accident, or something else can't go, the master naturally has to find another candidate." No one could say anything back then, could they? ”
Ma Yongqing raised his head, and his eyes that had been darkened ignited again.
"It's just ......" Xu Jiaojiao spoke again: "The master promoted you, you always have to reciprocate, don't you?" ”
"I am willing to smear the general's liver and brain, and I will not give up!" Ma Yongqing clasped his fists again and said solemnly.
"In the past few years, the King of Qin fought everywhere, and his prestige in the army was quite high. Now the emperor has sent him to lead the troops...... At such a critical time, it is not a good thing that military power is lost. Gao Yun said and glanced at Ma Yongqing.
"What the prince means, King Qin is young and aggressive, and he always has to learn some lessons, so that he will grow up......"
He said it tactfully, Ma Yongqing already understood. nodded solemnly and promised: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the love of the general and the crown prince, and they will definitely handle this matter well."
Ma Yongqing said goodbye and turned to leave. was suddenly interrupted by Xu Jiaojiao's voice.
"Wait".
Xu Jiaojiao said, took out the hairpin that Fu Feifei handed her that day, and put it on the table.
"This might help you."
……
After a whole day of training with the troops, Yang Zhengming and other soldiers in the barracks briefly rinsed and removed the sweat and mud from their bodies before striding towards the city.
As soon as he left the camp gate, he suddenly saw a teenager running over, looking a little anxious and panicked. When he came to him, he suddenly stopped, looked up breathlessly and asked, "But General Yang Zhengming?" ”
Yang Zhengming frowned, although he didn't know what was going on, he still nodded in response: "It's me."
"Here, give you this, a woman asked me to give this to you, and she said tell you to hurry up and save her."
Originally, Yang Zhengming didn't believe it, until he saw the hairpin he gave to Qin Chu in the palm of his hand, his face changed, he grabbed it, and said in a cold voice: "Where is she now?" ”
The child was so frightened by his appearance that he almost forgot what the man had told him, and he pointed in the direction of the iron field in the northwest, "I heard them say, what are you meddling in, and you want to make compensation for her......"
Before the child finished speaking, Yang Zhengming had already quickly turned back into the camp, and when he came out again, he was already on a horse, and he was walking quickly towards the northwest.
To reach Mizi Valley in the northwest, you have to pass through a tall forest on the way.
As the saying goes, if you care, you will be chaotic, because he was worried about Qin Chu's comfort, Yang Zhengming kept waving the horsewhip in his hand, looking straight ahead, thinking that he must be fast, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and for a while, the horse's legs didn't know what was mixed up, and because of hesitation and inertia, he planted straight to the ground.
Fortunately, Yang Zhengming was agile and reacted quickly enough, rolled on the ground twice, and finally landed on one knee and stopped castration with one hand on the ground.
Before he could stand up, his keen sense of hearing made him notice that danger seemed to be approaching, and he rolled twice more next to him, hiding directly behind a large tree.
Looking back again, there were more than a dozen arrows, side by side in the place where he had just stopped. The arrow feather was still trembling slightly.
Yang Zhengming frowned, recalled the words and demeanor of the child before, and smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that this matter is aimed at him today.
Before he could figure out how to get out, several people with square scarves suddenly appeared from behind the trees in the distance, and when they heard their footsteps and stretched out their hands, he knew that several of them were trained.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Yang Zhengming quietly pulled out the dagger on his leggings and rushed out quickly......
Qin Chu was at the door of the store, waiting left and right without waiting for Yang Zhengming, taking a look at the sky, it was estimated that the time was already more than six o'clock, guessing that he might have something to do temporarily, and if he didn't come back today, he wanted to go back by himself.
Ah Cheng was not at ease, closed the door of the store and insisted on sending her, thinking of the words he had promised Yang Zhengming. Qin Chu nodded in agreement.
After arriving home, Mother Yang and Qing'er had already made dinner, and it happened that Ah Cheng didn't have to go back to do it again, so Qin Chu simply asked him to go back after eating at home.
"I don't know what happened to Zhengming and them, this kid, if he doesn't come back, he doesn't know how to send someone back to say it." At the dinner table, Mother Yang saw that Qin Chu was a little apprehensive, worried that she would blame Yang Zhengming in her heart, so she simply spoke first.
"I guess it's temporary." Since marrying Yang Zhengming, this kind of thing has been very common, although he is still worried, Qin Chu basically will not be as worried as before.
After sending Ah Cheng away, the sky was getting dark. The weather in early autumn was slightly cool, and a cool breeze blew, and Qin Chu unconsciously sneezed.
I suddenly had a sense of foreboding in my heart......
