The First Daughter Reborn: The Snake Queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 262
After hearing this, Li Xiaochuan put down his chopsticks and left in a muffled voice, Meng Yizhen followed randomly, the little girl looked at the direction they left in confusion, a little at a loss.

Yan gave her the meat and said: "Brothers and sisters have something to do, you should eat more and take your time." Then he said to the cook, "Well, talking about this at the dinner table has already bothered the general and madam enough. "

The cook lowered his head and said softly: "When I just returned home, I saw so many..." He glanced at the little girl, swallowed the word "corpse" abruptly, and said with a slightly stiff expression, "It's only a few days The mansion was so lively a few days ago, the city was so lively, but now..."

Tears came down after he finished speaking, Yan also put down his chopsticks, only the little girl ate without distraction.

Meng Yizhen caught up with Li Xiaochuan and walked alongside him, she didn't say anything, just walked slowly with him under the moonlight, the moonlight was as white as snow, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost.

She said softly to Li Xiaochuan: "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much, not only won't help the matter, but if you suffocate your own body, who will you let the rest of the people rely on?"

He didn't make a sound, just said slowly: "Sometimes I wonder if I can carry all these things on my shoulders, so many people's expectations of me, but when they really need me, I lie on the bed Powerless."

"However, in the end, it is you who turned the tide. When people know the truth, they will not blame you. Really, we have never doubted you. Even at the last moment of death, I have strong expectations in my heart." Meng Yizhen said with a smile .

"What were you looking forward to at that time?" Li Xiaochuan asked hastily.

"Of course it's you. I hope you can fall from the sky, and I hope you can keep the soldiers around me from dying. You see, you did it in the end, so you are not at fault. You have done your best."

Her words were like a bright light, illuminating him who was in a dark heart, his expression was not so depressed, he took her hand and put it on his chest.

"As long as there is still a breath of heat here, I won't let you suffer any more grievances." Said like an oath, Meng Yizhen's eyes are as bright as pearls, and she firmly believes in this.

Not only the northern border, but also the capital suffered a lot. When they returned to the palace, all civil and military officials raised doubts, and Qi Sheng said angrily: "You are not the ones who went to the front line, you are only talking here and there. Back then, when you avenged the Empress, Why don't you have so many words?"

A civil official stood up and said: "Uncle Guo, it's not that we talk too much, it's that you brought [-] soldiers, but less than one-tenth of them came back. You have to explain this, otherwise, how can you tell the subjects of Lan Kingdom? explain?"

Qi Sheng said disapprovingly: "All of this is the Empress' idea, it is an imperial decree that she drew up before going to Northern Xinjiang, you all know that the opponent is Li Xiaochuan, what a terrifying existence he is, in order to avenge the Empress, I will not hesitate Put yourself at risk, and you will only blame."

What he said was upright and awe-inspiring, but the civil servants didn't know how to respond, and the others were also silent, yes, Li Xiaochuan is not an ordinary person, even the empress was murdered by him, let alone other people.

But the [-] army, this made them feel like a stick in their throats, and they couldn't spit.

"That's not because you said swearingly that you will definitely take back the city of Beijiang. Everyone believed your words and handed over the army to you. However, you have been refusing to tell the truth on the battlefield."

"I've said it many times, it was Li Xiaochuan who shot our marshal to death with an arrow during the war, and the soldiers were left without a leader. That's why the army lost their minds and surrendered to the enemy. This is the truth, no matter how many times I say it, it is the truth."

The civil official sneered and said, "You are a leader and you have two generals. You three can say whatever you want in this expedition." Qi Sheng was very angry. This person is endless. I really hate him. I will definitely kill him in the future. Save yourself the trouble.

The debate in the court was fruitless. Among the few generals who came back, almost all of them agreed that the Northern Army resisted to the death, and Li Xiaochuan was unparalleled in bravery and difficult to approach. This time the war has almost become an unsolvable mystery.

Meng Yizhen has been busy monitoring the repairs in the mansion for the past few days. At noon this day, she took time out to write a letter in the study, walked to the door, handed it to a guard and said, "Send it to the address as soon as possible." .”

The guard took it, and said loudly: "Madam, don't worry, I will deliver it safely." She nodded and asked him to leave as soon as possible. Seeing his leaving figure, her heart fluttered for a moment.

Li Xiaochuan who was not far away happened to come to see her, seeing this scene, he was a little suspicious, while Meng Yizhen seemed in a trance, turning a blind eye to other people and things, and walked up to her before she reacted.

Li Xiaochuan glanced at the direction where the guards were leaving, and asked: "Who is the letter to, it seems that you are very concerned." Meng Yizhen glanced at him, his face full of indifference.

As if asking it inadvertently, Meng Yi really wanted to laugh, but she felt a little bitter, and said calmly: "Do you still remember my brother Song Qingyi? He seems to have moved recently, so I wrote a letter to check."

Hearing what Meng Yizhen said, Li Xiaochuan nodded and said: "Auspicious people have their own appearance, he will be fine."

He tried to comfort her, Meng Yizhen smiled, and said: "I know, you don't need to comfort me, what are you looking for me for?"

"Some issues need to be discussed, such as the issue of repairs. The lack of troops requires the immediate recruitment of recruits, but the people are scattered and fleeing. There are many problems. I want you to discuss solutions with me."

He felt that there were so many things, but they were so messy.

"Let's come in and talk about it." Meng Yizhen let him in, made him a cup of tea, and said, "Conscription needs to be slowed down first. There is no family. Who will the soldiers protect? The most important thing is to let the people who have left come back to live and work in peace and contentment." matter."

"It's just that Lan Nation is watching. If we keep making no progress, I'm afraid that when they come next time, they won't be 30, but [-]. We don't have a single soldier, how will we resist then?" Li Xiaochuan was worried.

Temporary damage, but it takes a hundred times and a thousand times to repair, these things are imminent.

"Qi Sheng is not the emperor after all. Last time he fought under the banner of the empress, and he returned after a disastrous defeat. I don't think they will send troops to attack in a short time. After all, your reputation is still there." Meng Yizhen analyzed.

"Things should be planned as early as possible, just in case. We are now rebuilding the waste land, and money and manpower are all problems. I have been thinking about it for the past few days, but I have not come up with a good solution, so I came to you today." Li Xiaochuan frowned. road.

When Meng Yi was about to speak, he heard the guard outside the door push in and said, "General, General Leng, please see me!"

"Leng Mohan!" Li Xiaochuan stood up joyfully, and said in surprise, "Why did he come back suddenly? Has all his illnesses recovered? Let's go to the front hall together."

Meng Yizhen nodded, and the two walked towards the hall together. When they saw Leng Mohan, they found that his injuries were all healed. Li Xiaochuan went over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "The injuries are all healed? Why don't you rest more?" Time to come back?"

He said with a smile: "I'm so idle that I'm about to grow hair. On the way, I heard that northern Xinjiang was in trouble, so I recruited [-] soldiers to come to help while I was on the way. I didn't expect it to be a step too late."

Meng Yizhen and Li Xiaochuan looked at each other and laughed. "You have really solved our urgent need. What we lack most now are soldiers who can fight."

Meng Yizhen happily said that this was exactly what Li Xiaochuan wanted to say, before he could speak, Leng Mohan stopped him and said: "Don't say thank you, I'm most afraid of hearing it."

Meng Yizhen smiled and said: "We are thinking about where to place the soldiers and where to start building the new city. Who has the time to say thank you, Xiaochuan, don't you think so?"

Li Xiaochuan didn't open his mouth, Leng Mohan said instead: "Put it wherever you want, the soldiers I recruit are the most hardworking." After saying this, he seemed to have something else to say to Meng Yizhen.

Meng Yi really understood, but now is not the time, Leng Mohan looked at Meng Yizhen a few times, hesitant to speak, she hurriedly stopped her with her eyes, Leng Mohan finally swallowed what she wanted to say, and said nothing.

Meng Yizhen breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Li Xiaochuan, who had only smiled for a few days, and was very happy. Ever since he heard that Leng Mohan had brought so many soldiers, he had been sitting at the table without saying a word, staring at Li Xiaochuan. mug musing.

Without seeing their secret communication, Meng Yizhen asked: "General, do you already have a good idea?"

"When you want to sleep, someone will bring you a pillow. Leng Mohan, your soldiers came too timely. Many things must be done by them. Yizhen, it seems that almost all of the things we discussed just now can be solved." He no longer knitted brows.

The mood of the two of them improved a lot, but it was rather cold. He felt aggrieved and said, "Qi Cheng is a bad-hearted person. He never expected such a destructive power to ruin the city like this. The next time we meet, he will be very happy." You can’t teach them a lesson.”

"He doesn't have that ability, but it just happened that Xiao Chuan was injured, so he got this advantage. However, he suffered a lot. We didn't make him feel better." Meng Yi was really worried that the general would think about what happened that day again, So he rushed to defend first.

Leng Mohan glanced at her with a half-smile, which made her feel weird in her heart, but her face was as calm as before.

"Don't mention the past, the most important thing now is to rebuild their homes, so that the people will come back naturally, and it won't be long before they return to their original state before the war." Li Xiaochuan seemed to have already cast his shadows, and said expectantly.

"Yes, the flowers are blooming, and the butterflies will come to smell the fragrance naturally. After the city is repaired, how can there be no one to live in?"

"I believe that the day when we regroup will not be too far from now."

"You two are so confident, I am even more confident."

After saying these words, the three held hands tightly together and smiled at each other.
