August 28, Qingtan City, Marshal's Mansion

After His Royal Highness left, Bai Lingyu sat in silence for a long time. It wasn't until the senior sister brought Bai Ye back from the library that they rushed back to the Marshal's Mansion together.

In addition to an elder from the Nine Old Halls, there was also Elder Tao.

The decision to come to the imperial capital was hasty. Tao Lao could only use his own communication weapon to simply report the eldest lady's itinerary to Quanzhou, and inform the head of the family that she had known her mother's true identity.

The entire Jiang Chamber of Commerce, under the chairmanship of the chairman Jiang Qian, was busy organizing the fight against the Southern Continent Coalition Army in Quanzhou. All the affairs on the imperial capital's side are all in charge of Tao Lao and Long Wuji.

Today is Jiang Jinglan's first official visit to his aunt, and the etiquette is naturally thorough. The full set of honors on the car was personally selected by Tao Lao. Even the goose-yellow feather gauze palace dress was forced by him to change into the eldest lady.

Xiaolan is still suspicious of this aunt who came out of the flatland. However, the heartiness and enthusiasm of the handsome lady soon dispelled her doubts.

"Do you know? I think back then, I had a good relationship with Changqi, Jiang Qian, and Ah Mei. After Jiang Jinglan entered the door, Mrs. took her hand all the way and never let go.

"During the Northern Expedition, I knew your father and mother, but in fact, they were secretly together at that time. ”

As soon as I saw Su Weiping's maternal aunt and mother, who was still alive, I suddenly heard the secret affairs of my father's mother. Rao is Jiang Jinglan has been pungent and abnormal since she was a child, and she still lowered her head with a flushed face, and she didn't see the brilliance in her aunt's eyes at all.

"Your father is very boring, and he is planning all over the rear every day. I'll just organize a team with your mother, Linglan and Yichi's mother, and we organized a team. ”

"Guess what's our mission? By the way, where is your mother now? Why don't we come together?"

The handsome lady is straightforward and fast-talking, and she can say whatever she wants. The friends sitting on the seat couldn't keep up with her thoughts.

It took Yi Chi a long time to react, and hurriedly replied: "My mother is an idle character. She had organized a pulp washing team to serve in the first cantonment. After being withdrawn, he is still staying in Fangyi. ”

The lady said curiously: "Fangyi, isn't the village all burned, why is she still there?"

"The elders are still guarding the circle underground, and my mother, my mother is also staying behind to take care of the elders. After Linglan finished speaking, she looked at her godmother cautiously.

In the past day or so, the friends who came from Fangyi have already realized that the person in front of them and the one who stayed in Fangyi have almost the same fiery personality. But if there is a little unsatisfactory thing, it must be volatilized.

Sure enough, the lady wrung her eyebrows and spat out: "Dare to love those old guys, they are still so able to call people......!

She let go of Jiang Jinglan, leaned her forked hands on the back of the chair, and was silent for a while, as if recalling the scene of the past.

"That's not what we did back then. Ah Ci and Ah Mei, we always entered the big and small cities of the Ul Kingdom in advance before the soldiers pointed out, and secretly assassinated the big officials in the city, and even the military generals in the battalion. Each of the seven kings has died at our hands. When it comes to the number of successful assassins, even the Holy Son can't rob us. ”

As she spoke, Madame's bright and beautiful face flushed: "The Holy Son also gave our team a name. Although it is ridiculous, in the country of Ul, it is also famous. ”

Friends, look at me, I'll look at you. Bai Lingyu obviously didn't know much about his mother's heroic deeds back then, and he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands again and again.

Jiang Jinglan even grabbed the corner of Tao Lao's sleeve. She didn't know that her mother, who was sullen all day long, still had such a brave past.

Secretly begged for a long time, Tao Lao still couldn't mutter a few words: "Holy Son, Holy Son named them, what are they called......

"Thunderbolt!"

Madame was not reserved at all, and after shouting the name of the team, she glanced at the sweating old man, and continued to recite the situation back then:

"Then it happened. We were pregnant almost at the same time. Coupled with the changes in the situation of the Northern Expedition, they had to disperse. Didn't expect ......"

As she spoke, Mrs. suddenly reddened her eyes: "For eighteen years, Xiao Yichi, Xiao Lily of the Valley, your mother will be incognito...... I really wronged her...... I have wronged you. ”

Everyone was listening to the blood boiling, and suddenly mentioned this matter, and they were all a little sad and a little awkward when they heard it.

Bai Ye sat on pins and needles during the banquet.

It was for the sake of his father and son, Aunt Aci, and his little uncles that they gave up so much, and they were in their best years, but they could only hide in the mountains for more than ten years.

Yi Chi raised his head and replied with a smile: "Godmother, my mother has been doing well all these years." She always told her mother-in-law and aunt in the village that she was very down-to-earth in the mountains, and she didn't have to think about so many things, and it was very relaxing. ”

As he spoke, he took out a blue cloth wrapped in something from his bosom and held it to his wife with both hands.

Madame took it with some surprise and slowly spread out the burden, but inside was a sword bag. She gently rubbed the smooth and silky royal blue leather, and her fingertips brushed twice on the fine and dense beaded embroidery on the surface, and pearl-like tears came out of her eyes.

"My mother sewed it herself a few years ago, and she has been hiding it at home ever since. This time we were in a hurry, so my mother asked me to bring this to you. ”

"When did she learn to be a woman...... "Mrs. smiled hard with red eyes, and touched Xiao Yi's head, "Also, your mother has been pulling you for so many years, and these tasks of dismantling, washing and sewing must have been done well......"

As if he had made a mistake, Bai Ye timidly hid to the side, fidgeting.

Linglan, Yi Chi and Bai Ye are all delicate and shy, although their stomachs are full of questions that have been troubled for a long time, but whether it is today's occasion or the emotions of the handsome lady, it is not suitable to say so much and ask so much. silently suppressed the words in the bottom of their hearts.

Fortunately, Madame's mood quickly calmed down. patted the sword bag, waved his hand and handed it to the maid behind him, stretched out his hand to pick up the jade pot, and said loudly: "Today is a happy day, don't mention anything else." I suddenly have a son, a daughter, and a niece, and my heart is very beautiful. Lao Tao, you come along!" he poured himself a drink and drank three glasses of wine in a row.

When the hot wine was entered, the lady looked at Bai Ye and said, "Your kid has grown so big." It looks like your father. But the temperament is too cotton, like a little girl, which is too different from your father. Come on, I'll have a drink with you!"

The Shuai Mansion family is full of spirits, and the juniors who have accompanied a few glasses are so spicy that they grin. Only Bai Lingyu's face did not change at all, it was still sallow.

Jiang Jinglan, whose cheeks were crimson, looked at his wife and said enviously, "Aunt is so good-looking." ”

Madame laughed heartily: "Haha, I am the same year as your mother." This still depends on the craftsmanship of Xiao Ye's father. It's not an elixir for internal and external use, it's a smoker, and I use it every day. ”

Xiao Lan blinked, not understanding.

Linglan squirmed and said, "Actually, my mother also has that smoker. It is also used every day. ”

"Oh! No wonder! No wonder! You are so smart. How good your skin is!Will you make that kind of smoker?"

"I think you're even better than you were more than a decade ago. Tao Laole touched his beard, "It's getting younger and younger!"

Madame rolled her eyes: "The Holy Son should have made one for you old men back then." Look! Now it's all old and scum. ”

While laughing, the lady picked up the cup again: "Rush this, I have to drink another one with you kid." Your father's notes are a good thing, and if you put your heart down here to study and study, there will be some shocking inventions if you can't keep them together. Don't follow Ling Yu to go outside to wave. ”

As soon as these words came out, the juniors buried their heads. Bai Lingyu was unprepared and was about to be counted down again, so he immediately put down his chopsticks, turned his eyes twice, and thought of a new topic.

"Mother, has my father sent a message recently?"

"Even if you have a conscience, you still miss your father. With that, he beckoned behind him, and the maid who had put away the sword bag just now stepped forward and handed over a tray.

Bai Ye recognized at a glance that the seven or eight small scrolls lined up side by side on the tray should all be secret letters tied to the bird's legs.

Unlike the flying pigeons of the official family and the Jiang family, the domesticated pigeon in the Guannan camp are all swift and incoherent gray-headed war eagles. Not only does this medium-sized bird fly faster than carrier pigeons, but once it is dispatched, it can often intercept enemy communications.

Not only did she see the scroll, but Bai Ye also noticed the cooked leather heavy bracers that the powersuit maid was wearing, and I am afraid that she was taking care of the war eagle on weekdays.

Yi Chi also discovered this small detail, the two little brothers looked at each other, and thought in their hearts, this lady really lived up to her resounding reputation, and trained her personal girl to play eagle.

On the happy family banquet table, a bunch of secret letters with the smell of gunpowder suddenly appeared, and the atmosphere of the whole room naturally became solemn.

Madame picked up a scroll, and her face became serious: "The handsome flying eagle sends a book back to the imperial capital every day, and also sends a copy to the mansion." Over the years, I have not been shy away from any war situation. ”

After speaking, the lady smiled bitterly and shook her head: "However, there is only the military situation, and there is never any personal relationship between children and daughters." ”

The embarrassed Xiaobai stood up and distributed the scroll to everyone.

Madame came back to her senses and said slowly: "It has been seven days since you left Fangyi on August 22. They have been abandoned for three days. ”

The hands of Fangyi's friends stopped in unison. Each of them has a big mouth.

How can we give up the third canton? Even if the battle is unfavorable, we must not abandon the third canton? In this way, there will be only a large battalion left on the front line.

Bai Ye's eyes widened, and he gave Bai Lingyu a puzzled look.

Xiaobai really knew about the battle situation on the northern front for a long time.

He comforted Bai Ye casually: "The people of the Wei Kingdom are the same as you think. They wanted to spend a little more on the northern front. My father took advantage of the situation to take the initiative to give up the third tun, and the banner of the pro-military camp returned to the camp overnight. This led to the people of the Ul country. ”

"Yes. The king of the seven surnames fell into the trap area of the river network we prepared in the Yongshun area, and suffered a lot of losses. Although they occupied the third tun, it was still difficult to advance an inch, and they couldn't even touch Whitewater City. Madame confidently continued.

Tao Lao flipped through the scrolls and explained to his confused friends: "The two-line attack of the Ul Kingdom and the Nanlu people seems to be very strong, but they are not single-minded after all. We all thought that the other party could make a lot of efforts to disrupt our position, and take the opportunity to make profits, but now they are pointing at each other, and no one wants to contribute more. If you don't give a little sweetness, the Thunder Emperor will not take the initiative. Once he moves, he will sink deeper and deeper. ”

"The longer the time and battle line are drawn, the more the enemy's flaws will be exposed. Now it's up to you Jiang family to hold on for a while. Madame stared at Tao Lao, but she knew the answer. After all, it is Jiang Qian who sits in Quanzhou. The most grinding Jiang Qian.

Tao Lao nodded, also smiling without saying a word.

Bai Ye hesitated for a long time, and asked tentatively: "I've been thinking these days, so many spirit beasts and troops of the people of the Wei Kingdom have penetrated deep into the south of the big city, and the pressure of logistics must be even greater than ours. I'm afraid it's hard for them to drag on like this, right?"

Madame smiled and poured another glass of wine: "Boy, you are right. It was they who attacked us before. Now, it's time for us to fight back. ”
