Jiaohua

All the maids and girls in the carriage looked at Mrs. Qu.

Mrs. Qu lazily sat up from the bed, rubbed her neck, and waved her hand. Several strong maids hurried forward to help her.

"Lift the curtain!" said Mrs. Qu.

Two clever maids reacted quickly and went over, one on the left and one on the right, to open the curtains. Their men were still waiting outside, their hands clenched into fists.

Madam Qu said, "Go find that soldier and ask him to go to Nie Huimo again and tell him that this important thing of mine was sent from Shucheng by Miss A Li. Miss A Li also specifically asked me to write a letter to Nie Huimo and ask him to come to Hengxiang to pick it up in person. I saw that he was busy with military affairs and was afraid that he would have to travel a lot. After all, I am a rich and idle person, so I sent it to him with good intentions. In the end, he treated me like this."

Hearing the words "Miss A Li", the maids and nuns in the carriage were all excited.

"Well, ma'am, you're keeping it a secret from us."

"Did Miss Ali tell you in the letter where she is now?"

"Humph, it was actually sent by Miss A-Li. That really makes Nie Huimo proud!"

Mrs. Qu laughed cheerfully and said, "That's right! I wonder if that boy can come out!"

The men outside the carriage took the order and left. The maids and nuns all came up to ask what Miss Ali had brought. Mrs. Qu kept her mouth shut and smiled and told them not to ask.

Inside the city, seeing the gate guards coming back, Xiang Shan and Ling Yang said with a smile: "General, you were right, he really is back!"

Nie Huimo turned around. The city gate guard could no longer run, so he rode a horse. When he was almost there, he dismounted and ran over to kneel down. "General! Madam Qu refused to leave. She said the important things she brought were sent by Miss A Li from Shucheng. Miss A Li said they were for you!"

Everyone paused, Nie Huimo frowned and asked, "Ali?"

"Yes! Madam Qu also said that Miss A-li wanted Madam Qu to write a letter to you and ask you to go to Hengxiang, but Madam Qu couldn't bear you to travel so she delivered it herself."

Ling Yang and Xiang Shan quietly looked at Nie Huimo's expression.

They both knew exactly what kind of feelings Nie Huimo had for the famous girl A Li.

Nie Huimo said: "So, she still didn't say what it was specifically?"

The soldier shook his head. "No, only that it was very important."

Nie Huimo was silent.

The soldier looked up at him, thinking that he was going to say "see you" again, or chase him away, but he saw that Nie Huimo seemed to be lost in thought, with a deep look in his brows.

After a while, Xiangshan at the back couldn't stand it anymore and urged in a low voice: "General?"

Nie Huimo took a deep breath and said, "Just pretend you don't know about this."

After saying that, he looked at the soldier on the ground and said, "You don't have to go back. Come back tomorrow."

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked back at Nie Huimo.

Nie Huimo turned around and said calmly, "Continue."

The sky gradually darkened, and soon, thick ink fell, and everything was dark.

The maids and nuns in Mrs. Qu's carriage were all angry.

"What's wrong with this Nie Huimo!"

"Madam, why is it that even the name Miss Ali is useless?"

"This is too much! We are here to deliver something, not to collect a debt. Why are you avoiding us like this?"

"Madam, let's go back! He doesn't give you face, and he doesn't give Miss Ali face either. Let's go!"

……

Mrs. Qu was not angry, she smiled and said, "Hey, he is angry with me, he can't bring himself to do that. He is already in his twenties, but he still has the bad temper of a child. He is not as good as his brother at all."

"Then let's fight him too. Let's go back and wait for him to remember it later and let him run to Hengxiang on his own!"

Madam Qu said, "That won't do. He and I can handle it, but the thing behind us can't." The maids and girls were curious, "Can't handle it? Why? Even if it's a porcelain vase, as long as it's wrapped tightly, kept under your eyes, or simply held in someone's arms, there's no need to worry about it falling."

"It's ice, the ice is melting!"

Mrs. Qu stood up and said, "Forget it, let's give this bastard a way out. Just ask two of you to come forward and we'll have a show of self-torture."

Inside the city, after inspecting the warehouse, Nie Huimo was about to lead his troops out of the east gate and head out of the city towards Songzhou.

But he cancelled this arrangement.

The two main generals in the city wanted to prepare a dinner for him, but he stopped them.

He asked Ling Yang to tell the people behind to make some food and send it to his room.

In addition, people were constantly sent to look at the city gate to see if Mrs. Qu's men were still outside.

Ling Yang and Xiang Shan couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Xiang Shan couldn't help but complain: "General, you are so afraid that Madam Qu will leave, can't you just let her in?"

"Yes," Ling Yang also said, "Mrs. Qu has traveled a long way from Hengxiang to here, and you are just going to leave her outside the city?"

"She's tired from traveling?" Nie Huimo sneered, "She wants to make herself feel most comfortable wherever she goes. You feel sorry for her, but you might as well feel sorry for yourselves who have been with me through wind and rain and traveled thousands of miles."

"Well," Xiangshan said, "let's not talk about anything. The general is determined to be the bad guy."

Ling Yang asked: "How come the general is a bad guy?"

"Look, Madam Qu didn't have to come all this way. It's one thing that Madam Qu had a comfortable trip, but she could have been more comfortable in Hengxiang. But in order to save our general the trouble, she came here in person."

Ling Yang said: "Yes, Mrs. Qu has always been very nice."

The food had just been served and Nie Huimo, who was about to eat, could not eat anymore. He put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, raised his head and glared at them.

There was a knock on the door, and Ling Yang smiled: "There's news from outside the city again!"

He quickly went to open the door, but when he opened it, he saw that it was not the soldier who went to get information, but a beautiful woman who had been sent in the day before.

The beauty lowered her eyes, bowed to Ling Yang, then raised her head to look at Nie Huimo: "General..."

Ling Yang stepped aside and looked at Nie Huimo.

Nie Huimo frowned: "What are you doing here?"

The beauty twisted her hands in front of her and said softly, "General, I came to see if you need anyone to serve you tonight."

Nie Huimo said coldly: "Go back."

The beauty bit her lips lightly, raised her eyes to look at him with grievance and resentment, lowered her head and left.

A soldier came running quickly and passed by the beauty who had just walked down the stairs.

The beauty turned to look at him. Just as Ling Yang was about to close the door, he saw the soldier running over and made way for him.

As soon as the soldier entered the house, he knelt down anxiously and said, "General, two girls in Madam Qu's carriage suddenly fell ill! They kept complaining of stomachaches. Madam Qu was very anxious and got off the carriage to kick the city gate herself!"

Xiang Shan said: "She, she kicked the city gate?"

Ling Yang said, "You don't understand. Kicking the city gate is nothing. The maids and nuns who can get on Madam Qu's carriage are obviously the ones she values. Madam Qu treats the girls very well. Just look at Miss Jiangmei from Hengxiang Yanchun Tower. I think if the general doesn't let her in, Madam Qu will attack the city gate directly."

Nie Huimo was angry: "Ling Yang, why are you so weird?"

Ling Yang curled his lips: "General, I dare not, but I know what you are thinking. Isn't this just to give you a way out?"

Nie Huimo took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Seeing him walking around the desk, Ling Yang smiled: "Eh? General, are you going to personally welcome Madam Qu into the city?"

"If you keep talking, I'll throw you off the city wall!" (End of this chapter)
