Chapter 49 The visitor has other plans

Old Man Li shook his head. He once led troops to fight and experienced strife in court.

Now His Majesty obviously does not trust General Huo, but instead trusts a general who is not very capable and loves great achievements.

In addition, after 11 years of recuperation, the Qi State has strong troops and horses, and is already ready to take action.

This battle is bound to happen.

Old Man Li has no confidence, and he will definitely lose after all calculations.

"Half of the original army has been transferred, and the remaining half is now in the hands of the general. It is extremely difficult for Major General Huo to change the entire battle situation with these [-] new soldiers."

Li Xiaoyue has been listening patiently, squinting her eyes.

After traveling through time, she has fallen in love with this land and such a loving family.

She hopes that there will be no war in this area, and that her family will be safe without having to fight.

She can now guess her father's identity, he must be a former warrior on the battlefield.

Since his father said so, the future results will be similar to his father's judgment.

Li Xiaoyue thought of the plots in the book and that Old Man Li would die in this war.

Two of the brothers also died on the battlefield, and several adult nephews also died in order to protect them, women and children.

If she had just been reborn, Li Xiaoyue would have chosen to run away without hesitation.

But now, she doesn't want to run away, she wants to be with her family.

In my previous life, I started reading novels when I was in junior high school, and the novels would all talk about traveling through the Three Treasures.

Gunpowder, in particular, may not be that powerful, but in the era of cold weapons, gunpowder can often change the entire battle situation after it becomes lethal.

Li Xiaoyue remembered the ratio of ordinary gunpowder, and she thought she should be able to get it.

However, she was just a country woman before. What could she do to show her true identity?
It seems that she will start taking action from now on and find the right time!

Li Xiaoyue comforted her father, "Dad, when the soldiers come, we will cover up the water and the earth! There is always a way to solve the problem!"

"I guess Yuyao has already washed up. Let her eat something quickly."

"We will talk to her carefully later so that she can live here with peace of mind. We will discuss other matters after she adapts to life here."

Old Man Li nodded, "Okay, Xiaoyue, I know you are very careful and thoughtful, I will leave Yuyao to you!"

At this time, Qin Yuyao had already changed into Li Changhuan's clothes, which were just right.

Qin Yuyao's eyebrows were picturesque, and the mud on her face was washed away, revealing her fair skin.Although he is thin and out of shape, he can be seen to have a good appearance.

Everyone's eyes looked at Qin Yuyao from time to time, but they did not dare to look directly.

Qin Yuyao also shrank a few times in fear and lowered her head because of everyone's gaze.

Wu Cuihong made a bowl of finely chopped gnocchi soup by simmering scallions in meat oil and beating two eggs. After stirring vigorously, the eggs were broken into strands and floated in the gnocchi soup.

It is delicious and easy to digest, and is most suitable for Qin Yuyao now.

"Yuyao, this is your Aunt Xiaoyue, you will stay here from now on."

Qin Yuyao was in shock along the way. After sending her here halfway, she went back to protect her grandfather.

When I arrived, my grandfather had told me that when I got here, I would find Grandpa Li and follow Grandpa Li's arrangements in everything.After reading his grandfather's letter, Grandpa Li immediately brought her back and wanted to marry her to his grandson, which surprised Qin Yuyao.

However, thinking of her grandfather's words and that person's explanation, Qin Yuyao chose to accept it.

If things go wrong, she can only work as a slave. In addition, if she wants to restore the glory of the Qin family and avenge the Qin family, she must cooperate with that person.

Seeing everyone's curious faces, Li Xiaoyue thought of her words, "My mother was from Jiangnan back then, and she is a relative of your grandmother's side. Your uncle's family fell into ruin, leaving an orphan girl, who came to seek refuge with us."

"This is your cousin, whose surname is Qin and whose name is Yuyao. She was supposed to live in your grandpa's house, but as you know, my uncle's family is full of sons and there are no girls, so she lives in our house."

At this time, Li Changlu scratched his forehead, his eyes showing confusion, "Mom, isn't my grandma's surname Zhou? How come my uncle's surname is Qin?"

"This..." Li Xiaoyue was stunned, but she didn't expect to create a loophole, "Sworn brother, he is your grandma's adopted brother. Just now your grandpa was in a hurry and said that he wanted to tell Yuyao to the third child, but I think Yuyao I just came here and I’m not familiar with our family yet. We’ll talk about it after we get familiar with it.”

Qin Yuyao looked at the big black man Li Changshou and lowered his head instantly. It was indeed a bit scary.

"Thank you Aunt Yue." Qin Yuyao is not a ungrateful person. Her grandfather used to be a censor. Although she is an orphan, she is also highly flattered in the capital.

Once he was in trouble, all his close relatives and friends disappeared, and some even added insult to injury.

It is rare for someone like the Li family to be willing to accept her and protect her despite knowing her true identity.

No wonder her grandfather would rather send her to the northwest than let her be exiled to Lingnan with her.

"You're welcome, eat slowly." Li Xiaoyue smiled and looked at the others, "Dad, please go back and rest early. I promise to take good care of Yuyao. It's getting late, so everyone should go back to their houses."

"By the way, Changle, you sleep in the same room with me tonight. Changhuan, Yuyao will live in the same room with you today, go back and tidy up."

Seeing that Li Xiaoyue's arrangements were sound, Old Man Li felt relieved. He nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Yuyao, don't be afraid. Treat it as your own home. Back then, your grandfather and I had a life-long friendship. From now on, you will be my granddaughter, don't let anyone see you outside."

Qin Yuyao could feel the kindness of the people around her and stood up to salute everyone, "Thank you Grandpa Li, Aunt Yue, and my cousins."

Seeing Qin Yuyao's elegant salute, everyone was curious, but since she had just arrived, they were embarrassed to ask too many questions.

"You're welcome, you eat slowly, we're going out first." Wu Cuihong took her husband and held her daughter back to her house.

Zhou Xiaohua's eyes were full of curiosity, and Li Changlu's eyes rolled around, but he was dragged out by Li Changshou.

In the end, only Li Xiaoyue and Qin Yuyao were left in the room.

Qin Yuyao sipped the fragrant egg drop soup and was thinking about her future life and plans.

Before I knew it, I ate a bowl.Although I still want to eat, my stomach is full.

"Are you full?" Li Xiaoyue asked softly, "It's not enough, I'll give you more."

Qin Yuyao shook her head, "No need, Aunt Yue. Yuyao has been sleeping in the open air and suffering from hunger. Her appetite is small, so she can't eat more."

"That's right, so as not to overwhelm your stomach and intestines. The days are long, and I will slowly replenish your body from now on." Li Xiaoyue nodded gently, "Yuyao, my father just told me about your situation, and I already know everything."

"Although Uncle Qin asked my father to find a match for you and marry you here, you have also seen that we are farmers and we are doing some business now. Our farm life is not as rich as that in the capital."

"You used to have a good life, and you were proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. My son is a rough guy who knows how to farm and work hard. Although he is literate, he doesn't understand poetry and poetry, so he may not be suitable for you."

"I'll discuss it with my father. You can live in my house first. If you get to know my third child and you are willing to marry him, then we can talk about marriage. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. Whatever you like, I will I'll be a matchmaker for you and prepare a dowry for you to repay Uncle Qin for saving my father's life."

Qin Yuyao lowered her head to hide her true thoughts. She thought about everything and made a decision quickly.
