retaliate

Chapter 1372 is Lubu

In late autumn, Tao County was very windy, especially at night, the window lattices were rattled by the wind, making Concubine Shu sleepless all night.

She had a dream, dreaming that King Wei was fighting among the rebellious army, calling for A Niang.

Not long after, the dream turned into a confrontation between King Wei and the emperor and his son...

Concubine Shu sat up, hearing the various sounds of the autumn wind sweeping outside.

She rubbed the center of her brows, thinking of the news that the Jiedu envoy's mansion sent to deliver last time.

According to the news, before the emperor fled, King Wei was made the crown prince, the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, and stayed in Guanzhong to preside over the overall situation.

Ha ha!

Concubine Shu smiled silently.

That old dog, this is trying to blame the blame.

She got up, opened the door, and a gust of wind blew right into her neck.

Concubine Shu rolled up her sleeves and looked for something to wash.

Although she was neglected in the palace, there were still many people serving her, so she didn't need to do these things at all.

But after regaining all this, Concubine Shu was extremely happy.

After washing, she took the broom and began to sweep the floor.

"Dalang, get up."

"Mom, let me sleep a little longer!"

"stand up!"

The scene that must be played every morning has begun.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Let the child sleep more!"

Big Sister Huang said: "Mother, it's not going to work! It's not good to get used to sleeping like this."

Concubine Shu smiled, not planning to interfere with Damei Huang's teaching of the children.

The child got up and came out yawning.

"grandmother!"

"good!"

At dawn, the family of three had breakfast, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

The child couldn't help asking: "When will Aye come back?"

Damei Huang originally wanted to ask this question, but she was afraid of causing Concubine Shu's worries, so she kept holding back.

And concubine Shu didn't know either!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sighed at each other.

"Why don't I ask Qin Wangfei?" Qin Wangfu came to invite Huang Damei to play here every now and then, and every time he would drink tea and chat with Qin Wangfei.

"It's not easy to ask about such things." Concubine Shu said calmly: "If Erlang is all right, then they will definitely take the initiative to talk about it."

If you don't say it, it's either no news, or... bad news.

Not long after breakfast, Princess Qin sent someone over.

"The princess invites the lady to drink tea in the morning."

"it is good."

……

Huang Wei's family spent a period of time in Qin Wang's mansion that they couldn't believe.

There are not many attendants, but enough.Yiniang explained that Li Xuan didn't like his family being surrounded by servants.Therefore, whether it is himself or the two children, apart from the need for safety, there are not many people around him.

How could Huang Wei be dissatisfied, even a little panicked, not used to being served by others.

But within a few days, Huang Wei became a little listless, and the servants around him saw it smartly, and asked Zhou Ning for instructions.Zhou Ning personally diagnosed and treated Huang Wei, but found that he was not sick.

"The old man just has nothing to do and feels uncomfortable."

Huang Wei rubbed his hands, feeling a little uneasy.

He felt that he was causing trouble to his niece and daughter-in-law.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Ning asked.

"Selling sesame oil."

……

When Concubine Shu woke up, Huang Wei was already grinding sesame oil.

Thick sesame oil flowed down the mouth into the clay pot, smelling the smell, Huang Wei felt that this was life.

Then after breakfast, he went out with his burden, Zhao muttered, "It's not short of money, but it's your fault."

"Aye, come back earlier." Huang Huan sent his father to the door of the house.

Huang Zhu followed, and said with a bitter face: "Aye, can you let sir do less homework."

Within a few days of living in Prince Qin's Mansion, Zhou Ning arranged for Huang Zhu to have a husband. He had a lot of homework every day, which made him miserable.

"Princess is always kind! Don't slack off." Huang Wei knew the importance of reading, so even if he spoiled his children, he still refused to agree.

He went out with a load on his shoulders, and the door of Prince Qin's mansion was handed over. "Huang Gong, slow down."

"Thank you very much."

Huang Wei laughed.

"This man is really weird!" After Huang Wei left, the door scratched his head, "His Highness's uncle is naturally extremely wealthy, but Huang Gong still wants to work."

When Huang Wei came out of the alley with the load, the bean cake stand had already been set up and the woman was lighting a fire.

"Morning, Mr. Huang!"

"morning."

"Business is good."

"You too."

A few simple words made Huang Wei look ruddy and energetic.

He looked at the street where there were not many people and coughed dryly.

"Sesame oil, Huang's sesame oil, a 30-year-old brand!"

Not far behind, two guards pretended to be pedestrians and followed quietly.

How easy is it for nobles to live the lives of ordinary people?
Peach County is large, with a large population and lush, so Huang Wei's business is quite good, and the sesame oil is sold out in a short time.

He put down his burden, squatted on the edge of a row of stalls, and talked to those small businessmen.

"...Since His Highness broke Lizhou, he must attack Shi Ni."

"It is said that Shi Ni has millions of troops under his command, and His Highness only brought that few troops, so he is worried about accidents!"

The common people can't get involved in the affairs of the upper class, but on the contrary, they are somewhat aloof.It's okay. They like to get together and chat about these things, and they have the demeanor of keyboard politicians from another world.

"I think I will lose if I don't do it well!"

A businessman in his 40s said, "Your Highness is too rash."

Everyone was silent.

"Bullshit!"

Someone objected.

The businessman saw that it was actually Huang Wei who was honest and friendly on weekdays, so he sneered and said, "What do you know?"

"The old man doesn't understand, but the old man knows one thing!"

"What's the matter?"

The honest man Huang Wei said word by word: "Your Highness will win!"

……

Unlike Huang Wei who had inexplicable confidence in his nephew, Zhou Ning was always worried about the war.

This is a battle that determines the general trend of the world, and even determines the fate of the world.The rebels will go crazy, and Shi Ni will strike with all his strength.Just thinking about the viciousness of the rebels slaughtering two cities in a row, Zhou Ning couldn't help worrying.

The Jiedu Envoy's Mansion was vague about this battle between officials, and Zhou Ning didn't want to ask, so as not to cause trouble for Liu Qing and the others, he thought about it at home.

She doesn't understand martial arts, and looks at the map left by Li Xuan every day to worry.I thought to myself how can my man figure out the art of war by looking at a map, but why can I only have a headache when I look at the map?

Afterwards, letters from Li Xuan continued, occasionally mentioning the progress of the war.

The northern border army is in a tough situation in the north.

In Lizhou, the rebel army is ahead.

The news is interrupted here.

Zhou Ning was a little uneasy.

Get up early in the morning, before breakfast, the two children come to say hello.

"Auntie!"

Li's second son's voice was a little reckless, and the four-year-old child looked particularly strong, and looked more energetic than his seven-year-old brother beside him.

"Auntie!"

A Liang saluted, compared with the second brother Li beside him, he looked much more stable.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhou Ning asked with a smile.

"Okay." Li Er Er never suffers from insomnia.

"It's not good." Ah Liang suffered from insomnia last night.

"Why?" Zhou Ning glanced at his acupuncture box.

A Liang shivered, "I miss Aye."

Is there no use for it... Zhou Ning looked away from the acupuncture box with some regrets, "There will be news in a while, and you should read when you have to. Your Aye is fine."

"Yes."

The mother and son had breakfast, A Liang was going to study, and Li's second child hadn't started his enlightenment yet, so he went to play by himself.

Zhou Ning arranged for someone to prepare some things, and planned to have tea with Huang Damei later.

After the news that King Wei was crowned prince and general of the world's soldiers and horses spread to northern Xinjiang, many people were quite dissatisfied with Concubine Shu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.But the Jiedu envoy's mansion firmly carried out King Qin's orders, and was quite respectful to Concubine Shu.

Zhou Ning still maintains the frequency of contact with Huang Damei, and is not affected by external material opinions.

It is Zhou Ning's attitude to let the men solve their own affairs.

Taking advantage of Huang Damei's absence, Zhou Ning met with the stewards and listened to some business matters.

After the stewards left, Aunt Guan persuaded: "With the current status of the princess, it's time to put aside these trivial matters."

The dignified Concubine Qin and the wife of the King of the Northland still have to take care of the family business, so it would be embarrassing to speak out.

Some people even say that Princess Qin is a miser.

Zhou Ning took a sip of tea and said: "I know that many people outside say that the whole Northland belongs to the husband, and the money in the Prince Qin's mansion is piled up like a mountain. But the public is public, and the private is private. The family has to rely on business to support it. "

What's the trouble?

Aunt Guan muttered, "After the false emperor ascended the throne, I don't know how much money was spent just to reward people."

The generosity of the false emperor's rewards to people is jaw-dropping.How much it has been used for more than ten years, I guess he can't tell.

"That's why he betrayed his relatives."

Zhou Ning got up and went out.

Her husband, however, is heroic and not greedy for these things.

In Zhou Ning's view, the false emperor and Li Xuanbi are not at the same level at all.

Sister Huang is here.

A plate of snacks and a pot of tea for each person.

The morning sun was a bit cold, and the slight footsteps of the maids and the sound of the wind blowing through the roof could be heard.

The two drank tea silently.

Zhou Ning put down his teacup and looked at Big Sister Huang, "The blacksmith shop is hard work, so let's stop."

Not long after arriving in Tao County, sister Huang reopened the shop of her ancestors. Every day, the sound of iron hammering remained the same.

"If you have nothing to do, you will feel uncomfortable all over."

Huang Damei explained it this way.

When she had nothing to do, she would think about Li Er, that silent but reassuring man.

Only by striking iron can she get rid of that helpless feeling.

Whenever she held the hammer, it seemed that Li Er was by her side, frowning, feeling that there was something wrong with her technique.

Zhou Ning understood the meaning, and said: "The emperor appointed King Wei as the crown prince before he escaped, but the situation has deteriorated to this point. This is clearly a loss."

"I know, that person...is vicious!" Sister Huang is not a person who doesn't know good and evil, and Concubine Shu has already analyzed it for her, saying that the old dog's move is to trap King Wei in an unrighteous way.

"King Wei's cultivation is advanced..."

"It's just that there are too few others." Miss Huang said worriedly.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but smile, "I asked the Jiedu envoy's mansion about this, and they said that the fewer the king of Wei, the safer he is. Think about it?"

what!
Huang Damei thought to herself, it really is.

The fewer people, the smaller the target, and the rebels won't pay attention.

Seeing that she was still not completely relieved, Zhou Ning comforted: "The key to this battle lies between the Northern Border Army and the rebels. If His Highness wins, the rebels will naturally shrink back and have no energy to deal with King Wei."

"Yes." Sister Huang actually needs comfort, but Concubine Shu is not good at comforting people either!
Zhou Ning told her about the interesting stories of the two children, especially Li's second child.

"Da Lang disciplined him. It is reasonable for an elder brother to be like a father, but Er Lang sometimes contradicts him, and he will strike if he disagrees. After being punished by me a few times, he is better behaved."

"But the two brothers would compete sometimes, and every time Da Lang was beaten to tears."

Zhou Ning's eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile.

Hey!
It seems that I have to have another one!

Zhou Ning didn't know what he said, and successfully made Huang Damei give birth to the idea of ​​having a companion for the child.

"I don't know what's going on with this battle." Sister Huang sighed.

"No need to worry."

Zhou Ning looked calm and unhurried, but his worries and longing for her husband grew day by day.

In Jiedushi's mansion, Liu Qing and the other three were studying the battle situation.

"Shi Gongming besieged Daizhou. If he was sent to Daizhou, Lizhou would be in danger, and the escape route and grain road would be cut off."

Song Zhen, former minister of the Ministry of War, frowned, looked at the map and analyzed: "The rebel army is powerful. If we are attacked by the enemy, our morale will be affected. Therefore, the old man thinks that Shi Gongming's threat should be resolved first."

"But Shi Gongming has a lot of people under his command. Once he attacks, he will fight on both sides. If Shi Zhongtang's rebels approach, how can we fight this battle?"

At any rate, Liu Qing once led a party alone, not a purely civil servant.

"Think about it, old man."

"Put it down!" Luo Cai said, "Even if you think of a flower, it's useless."

"Why?" Song Zhen asked dissatisfied.

"Judging by the time, this battle is already over."

Song Zhen sat down slumped.

Liu Qing coughed dryly, "Urge them to ask if there is a messenger from His Highness."

In the morning of autumn, it was foggy outside Tao County.

Merchants came in and out, and the sergeants at the top of the city were still watching the distance vigilantly.

Until a group of cavalry emerged from the fog.

This team of cavalry carried small flags, and the leader held up a bamboo pole, on which was hung...

A sergeant rubbed his eyes.

"It's Lubu!"
