The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 571
On the fourth day of December in the 26th year of Zhenguan, Ashina Helu, the former governor of Yaochi and General Zuo Xiaowei, unified the ten tribes of Western Turks, built a tooth tent in Qianquan, and called himself Shaboluo Khan.

On the same day, He Lu led his troops to plunder Xizhou and Tingzhou, plundering Tang people, cattle, horses, grain and grass, and officially declared a break with Datang.

Fortunately, Datang was well prepared. Officials from Xizhou and Tingzhou arrived to defend the city. Although they suffered heavy losses and most of the city was burned, the two places were not taken by He Lu at last.

As the war between the two prefectures started, Shanzhou, which is not far away, got the news. Thanks to the kite provided by Xiao Nan, Cui Youbo was able to get the battle report and send a letter to Beijing as soon as possible.

But here comes the problem. The currently officially recognized communication method is still the fast horse post station. No matter how fast a fast horse is, it can't be faster than a kite.You must know that even if it is an urgent delivery of [-] miles for the military report, the fastest is only a thousand miles in a day, and a kite can fly more than a thousand miles in an hour.

Cui Youbo used these two methods to release the news at the same time, Xiao Nan has already received it, and the official 1000-mile express is still changing horses at the post station more than [-] miles away.

Holding the news, Xiao Nan was burning with anxiety. She knew that the sooner this kind of military affairs was reported to Taiji Palace, the better, so that the court could make rescue and dispatch troops in the shortest possible time.

Although He Lu returned to Qianquan with his people, no one can guarantee whether he will continue to harass the border of Datang.Especially for the nomads, everything is quiet in winter, and if they want to eat, they can only plunder the Tang Dynasty.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and even if the imperial court sends troops a day earlier, it can still win the greatest initiative.

But the problem is, at that time no matter how tough the girls were, it was still a patriarchal society, and according to the current conventions, women should stay away from military affairs.Even the empress dowager, who was so respected and loved by the late emperor, did not dare to ask openly, or even interfere in the government affairs.

Therefore, Xiao Nan had better not send this news, but if she didn't send it, who would be suitable?

And now there is a curfew, and the palace has issued a key, so if you want to enter the palace, you can only knock on the door.

Xiao Nan was in a dilemma with the news, and didn't know how to make a decision.

Just when she was about to make up her mind to change into Mrs. Yipin's court clothes and rush to the Tai Chi Palace to kowtow, someone reported outside——

"Ma'am, the Duke of Rongguo has sent someone to deliver the gift."

"Oh."

Xiao Nan nodded, since it entered December, every household has been busy giving and receiving presents.Although the first emperor passed away this year, the new emperor and the entire royal family are in the period of filial piety, and the empress dowager is still ill, the people in Beijing should not celebrate too much, but after all, the new year is approaching, and there are still etiquettes that everyone should have. lack.

Therefore, the Cui family can receive annual gifts from relatives, friends, and businessmen every day.

The Cui family and the Li family are related by marriage, and the relationship between Cui Youbo and Li Rong is quite good, and Xiao Nan and Wang's are also quite able to talk, so the exchanges between the two families have been relatively frequent in recent years.

It is more reasonable to give each other gifts.

At first when he heard the news, Xiao Nan just asked Yuzan to collect and store out of habit, and prepared to send gifts back to the Li family by the way.

But then, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she thought of a solution to the current predicament.

She folded the letter written by Cui Youbo as it was, and called Mrs. Xue, tied the letter box to its foot, and said: "Axue, give this letter to Li Rong!"

Xue Niangzi used to get along with Li Rong for a while, and also lived in Li's house, so there was no difficulty in carrying out this task.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lady Xue came back from Li's house, with another letter box hanging on her feet.

Xiao Nan saw that it was Li Rong's special mailbox with a lock. She hurriedly took out the key from a drawer of the vanity mirror box, opened the letterbox, took out a note, opened it, and there were a few scrawled words on it: "You know what you mean, a certain person will enter the palace immediately, don't mention this matter again."

These words are not like Li Rong's usual style at all, and the words are vague. It seems that Li Rong wrote it in a very hasty situation.

However, strangely, Xiao Nan actually understood what he meant: he was taking the whole matter on himself, and he would not let Xiao Nan get involved, and told Xiao Nan that it would be best to write a letter to Cui Youbo again. Make a confession once, so as not to be questioned in the future, and make a mistake twice.

Seeing that Li Rong could still think so thoughtfully at critical moments, Xiao Nan was very upset, and thought to himself, well, this Li Rong is not such a rascal.At least in the face of big right and wrong, it is relatively reliable.

Moreover, it is most suitable for Li Rong to take care of this matter - Cui Youbo and Li Rong are good friends, and the emperor also knows about the correspondence between the two.

Now that Cui Youbo found out about the urgent military situation, he wanted to inform the capital in advance, and he would send the letter directly to Li Rong, so the emperor could understand.After all, the kite is not an official means of communication. Even if Cui Youbo wanted to use the kite to send a letter to the Ministry of War or the Taiji Palace, no one there would accept it, right? !
The role of messenger is taken over by Li Rong, and Xiao Nan's role played down is not only good for Xiao Nan, but also for Cui Youbo. At least in this way, in the eyes of the emperor, Cui Youbo will not be regarded as someone who only knows how to discuss with his wife. useless man.

Very good, for this alone, Xiao Nan decided to forgive Li Rong for his rascal behavior in the past.

It's a pity that Xiao Nan relaxed too early, and after another hour and a half, when Xiao Nan was about to go to bed, Lady Xue flew in again.

Xiao Nan was a little puzzled, but he still stretched out his hand to call Xue Niangzi to him, took the letter box from its paw, opened it, and it turned out to be a brand new note.After reading the above words, Xiao Nan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Damn, this bastard really doesn't know how to be polite. He needs twenty pairs of top-quality kites with one mouth. Does he know how much a kite can be sold in the market? How much are twenty pairs and forty pairs worth?" ?”

Xiao Nan was so angry that he thumped the bed under him, cursing bitterly.

It turned out that just now Li Rong rushed into the palace and reported the latest battle situation to the emperor.The emperor was not too surprised when he heard that He Lu had finally made a move, as if the second boot had finally fallen off, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, the emperor ordered the little servant to send several prime ministers, dukes and generals into the palace to discuss military affairs.

While waiting, the emperor pulled Li Rong to ask for more details. He heard that Uncle Cui used two methods to send news to the capital, but the kite arrived before the Chollima. He was very curious. During this time, he also heard about it. The kites produced by Xiao's Harrier Workshop are famous, but before this, the emperor only thought that kites were smarter than ordinary kites, and he didn't know the latest functions of kites.

Because so far, no courtier has dared to chat with the emperor with a kite.

Now the emperor was really surprised when he heard that the kite could still deliver messages, and soon he realized the role it could play in the military, such as building a chat group for monarchs and ministers? !

The emperor was very excited when he thought that he could get in touch with the generals sent abroad at any time.

Li Rong is such a smart person, he saw the emperor's heartbeat on the spot, and quickly suggested that the emperor also import a batch of kites from Xiao's Harrier Workshop for military use.He patted his chest and assured that Mrs. Qi Guo and Cui Jieshi have always been loyal and patriotic to the emperor. Knowing that their own kites are useful to the court, they will definitely provide them for free, and all the kites they provide are of top quality.

The emperor was very happy when he heard this, because he also heard that Xiao Nan's kites are good, but the price is extremely high, a kite can easily cost tens of millions, if you get a dozen or twenty kites, The copper coins spent alone can pile up into mountains.

Free things are not only liked by the common people, but also by the emperor.

As for Li Rong, he was extremely generous (some Nan gritted his teeth: of course he is generous, he is generous to others, and it doesn’t cost him a penny, he is happy to take other people’s things as favors), and Mrs. Qi’s generosity , will definitely provide enough kites to meet the needs of combat, well, at least thirty or forty kites can be provided.

Now, the emperor was even happier, and he thought, if Xiao Nan really paid so much, he would keep the best one for himself.Well, Zhengzheng is also very hard at work, so I might as well reward him with one.

The next day, Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and brought out forty kites from the Harrier Workshop. He was so distressed that he almost fainted and wrote a letter, saying that he had cultivated a batch of kites of good quality. When he learned that the court needed them, he took them. Come out, and ask the emperor to accept it.

After discussing with several important ministers for a long time, the emperor already had a countermeasure against He Lu's rebellion, and his mood became more relaxed, and he was more satisfied with Xiao Nan's letter, and even rewarded Xiao Nan with some Ling Ling in the name of the queen.

Woohoo, tens of millions of dollars in exchange for a few silk silks is really a loss to her, is there anything? !

It's all the bandit Li Rong, who dared to use the emperor's hand to take advantage of him this time, what a bastard!
Her heart was full of resentment, but Xiao Nan was less worried about Cui Youbo, and she even thought about going to Wei's house to attend the plum blossom banquet.

In the end, that damn girl Ping An came to run on her——

"Cousin, long time no see. I heard that my cousin's husband is going to mobilize troops. Alas, I don't know if my cousin's husband is okay?!"

Some words are kind, but people can't hear half kindness.

Xiao Nan sneered in his heart, but on the surface he was still gentle, and said softly: "Your cousin is right, we have not seen each other for a long time, by the way, I heard that my cousin is going to be a mother, I am so happy and congratulatory!" It's a pity that the child is a concubine , Ping An, a dignified princess, actually became a cheap mother.

"You~~" This is the biggest pain in Ping An's heart, but what her mother said is now the critical moment for the establishment of the crown prince, and their mother and son still rely heavily on the husband's family, so she is not allowed to make trouble at this time, and the breath is stuck in her chest. She couldn't go up and down, and now Xiao Nan pointed it out in public, she was so angry that she wanted to rush up and beat Xiao Nan.

Mrs. Wei saw Xiao Nan and Ping An bumping into each other from a distance, she was anxious, and was about to catch up to smooth things over.

She didn't want to, but someone helped her. A woman around 30 years old came to Xiao Nan's side and said something in a low voice. , and said: "...Excuse me, the college has something to do temporarily, I will take a step first, and I will invite my lady to have tea at home later."

After all, without waiting for Mrs. Wei to reply, she left in a hurry.

Xiao Nan can't be blamed for being anxious, it's because the news just heard is too important: Chen Wu's firearm has finally been successfully developed!
