Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 476 If you dare to fight back, I will divorce you! (3)
In the end, the words turned into accusations.

Liu Qiao smiled wryly, "No one thought this would happen." After speaking, he closed his eyes and said, "Uncle Li, go down and rest too, I'm safe here."

"The villain is fine." Li Bo said, "The villain is by my master's side!"

Liu Qiao looked at him, but did not refuse in the end.

Time seemed to be slowed down by someone. This night was very, very long. When Liuqiao thought that the darkness would last forever, a ray of morning light finally broke out in the sky.

And as the ray of morning light broke out, the giant net of darkness covering the land was gradually shattered.

Outside, there seemed to be the sound of a cock crowing.

I don't know how long it took before the maid who helped her wash and change clothes came back again. This time, she brought breakfast, a bowl of millet porridge, three steamed buns, and two side dishes. It is extremely rare for such a stall to produce such a decent breakfast.

Liuqiao has no appetite.

"Boss, how much should you eat?" Uncle Li persuaded.

Liu Qiao smiled, but persuaded him instead, "You can eat."

"East..."

"Let's eat." Liu Qiao said.

Naturally, Uncle Li didn't know how to eat, so he looked at the girl in front of him, "Master, are you worried?" From last night to now, her expression was not right. not like.

Liu Qiao lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Seeing this, Uncle Li didn't ask any further questions, "The owner hasn't eaten well since the accident, so let's eat as much as possible."

Liu Qiao looked at him, and finally nodded, but only drank half a bowl of porridge.

Uncle Li was worried, but he didn't try to persuade him any more. At this time, the commotion outside gradually increased. Uncle Li looked at Xia Shen who was standing at the door like a stone sculpture, and then at Xia Shen, who was obviously quiet in his thoughts. Liu Qiao walked out lightly, and said in a low voice, "My lord, is your master here?"

Xia Shen looked up at him, did not answer, turned around and walked into the house, bowed to Liu Qiao and said, "Madam, rest assured, the general must be tied up again, that's why he didn't come here."

Liu Qiao looked up at him, "I see." She didn't ask further.

Xia Shen looked at her, doubts and confusion seemed to flash in his eyes, and he seemed surprised, but finally he lowered his head, "Madam, don't worry, the general will be fine."

"En." Liu Qiao nodded, but her voice was calmer than before.

Xia Shen looked up at her again, then bowed his head and backed out.

No matter how careless Li Bo was, he could see that something was wrong. This person seemed to be too respectful to his master. He had met him once in Peizhou that day, but he must be of extraordinary status to be a general of the imperial court. How could he treat him like this? They ordinary people are so respectful?What exactly is going on?

Not long after, Bai Yi came running.

When Li Bo saw him, he immediately scolded him with a straight face, but he still couldn't make him obey and go back to rest.

Even if Liu Qiao opened his mouth, he couldn't let him go.

The two had no choice but to let him stay.

At noon, two maidservants brought lunch, but Liuqiao didn't move.

But this time, before Uncle Li tried to persuade him, someone came, a man wearing a bamboo hat.

Xia Shen stepped forward, "General."

The man nodded, then, looking at the people in the room, he paused, his hands seemed to be clasped, and then he started to walk in.

Bai Yi suddenly became alert. Although the other party saved them, they were not acquaintances after all, so how could they know if they had any conspiracy!
Uncle Li looked at the person who was coming, and he was wearing a bamboo hat again?

In Peizhou before, it could be said that they wanted to conceal their identity, but now... is there still a need?They came to camp probably because of this pirate invasion, right?Now that the matter is not resolved, why does he still need to conceal his identity?
"This general..."

"Uncle Li." Liu Qiao interrupted him with a flat voice, "Go out first."

"East..."

"Go out." Liu Qiao looked at him, his eyes were slightly cold.

Uncle Li was startled, looked at the man wearing the bamboo hat, and retreated full of worries and doubts. Bai Yi was also reluctant at first, but as long as he watched Uncle Li go out, he would go out too.

Xia Shen closed the door.

The light in the room dimmed, and it became quiet.

Liu Qiao looked at the man in front of him, "Please sit down."

The man seemed taken aback.

"Oh." Liu Qiao smiled, "I forgot, you are the master here, but it's not easy to talk while standing like this, if you don't mind if I turn the host into a guest, please sit down."

The man pondered for a while, then started, went to a chair beside him and sat down, "You..." After a pause, "Lunch is not to your liking?"

"I heard that your subordinates call you general." Liu Qiao didn't answer his question, but asked with a smile, "He is holding the token of the chief soldier of the navy. Are you the chief soldier?"

"No." The man said, his voice was a little low, "I borrowed the badge of the navy commander."

"Is it because the pirates are so arrogant?" Liu Qiao continued to ask.

The man is silent.

"What? Can't you tell me?" Liu Qiao smiled, his smile was very faint.

The man said: "No."

"But it's just me talking too much." Liu Qiao continued, "It's important for the country, where is it for a little woman like me..."

"There are people in the imperial court colluding with pirates." The man interrupted her, his voice seemed to be a little anxious, "The battalion sea navy is [-], although the number is not large, it is the only military force of the imperial court in the southeast. With the army annihilated, the imperial court must increase its troops to the southeast, but the northwest is now preliminarily determined, and the Northern Yan Kingdom has been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, so it is impossible for the imperial court to send too many troops to the southeast. In addition, the current navy chief is the uncle of the Crown Princess."

"That is to say, once something happens to Yinghai, the prince will be implicated?" Liu Qiao asked back.

The man nodded: "Yes."

"Is it a conspiracy between Empress Jing and the second prince?" Liu Qiao asked again.

The man seemed a little surprised, and paused, "There is no evidence."

"Then how is the situation now?" Liu Qiao continued to ask.

The man said: "The secret work in the army has been uncovered, and the navy barracks can cope with the current situation. Last night when the army entered the city, most of the pirates in the city have been killed. Now the city is being cleaned up. In addition, the pirates on the coast have also retreated to the sea."

"Are there heavy losses in the city?"

"Heavy." The man replied.

Liu Qiao asked again: "Will the commander-in-chief be blamed by the court?"

"Even if someone colludes with the pirates, the commander of the navy has failed in his duty after all. It is inevitable that the emperor will convict him. However, although there is no evidence pointing to Empress Jing and the second prince, there is conclusive evidence to prove that someone in the court colluded with the pirates." , In addition, Yinghai County Magistrate did not notice that the pirates were operating in the city, and he is also to blame. Although the navy commander will be blamed, the prince will not be implicated." The man continued.
