After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 419 What is the importance of military merit?
Yao Chao hurriedly caught up with his wife, held her arm, and walked side by side on the path with her, saying, "It's not that I won't let you take care of Sanbao."

Second Aunt Yao glanced at him: "Then what do you mean?"

Yao Chao smiled and explained: "It's not like you don't know about Ash's temper. If she really didn't want to control her son, she wouldn't have brought the Three Treasures back from the Xie Mansion. Now that she brought them back, she definitely wouldn't hand them over to Ah Si Let's take care of it. Don't talk about anything else, she alone won't let her worry down."

Second Aunt Yao frowned and thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense, "But Ashu..."

Yao Chao said in a low voice: "Ashu came back from Xie's mansion and didn't even eat dinner with us. He obviously didn't want to meet people. My father and mother let you come and see it out of parents' concern. We Go back to the second elder, that's all."

Second sister-in-law Yao is not a fool, she guessed sister-in-law's knot to some extent, she just paused, frowned and said: "As brothers and sisters-in-law, don't we care about little sister anymore? If you want me to say, let's look at her..."

Yao Chao shook his head, persuading her: "You must have listened to me. Ashu has a strong temper, even if there is something, he won't let the family know."

Yao Chao only thought that Yao Shu was still worried about Lin Rong's whereabouts, and when she went to Xie Mansion, she probably went to Xie Qian to inquire about Lin Rong's situation.

Second Sister-in-law Yao sighed, and said with a sad face, "Let's go, go talk to Mom and Dad. I don't think Ashu has any ambition to compete. I just hope that I can be safe and sound with Ajia and bring up a few children. Tell me, what's the matter..."

What is the importance of military merit?Even if he was given the title of General Weiyuan, wouldn't the family worry?

The one thing she didn't say was that it would have been nice if Lin Rong hadn't been on the battlefield.

……

For the past two months, Meng Qing hadn't cared about other things, he was only tired of coping with the troubles Lin Rong and Yao Chao caused him.

Originally, the emperor promoted Yao Chao to be the prime minister of Dali Temple, and he already felt the pressure. He never thought that Yao Chao had outstanding abilities, and he didn't care about his own safety. After taking office, he started to investigate him.

No matter how covert Meng Qing is, the mining of iron ore in the suburbs of Beijing cannot be guaranteed to be airtight.

He didn't know where the news leaked out, but Yao Chao followed the news and found out bit by bit.

Meng Qing cut off contact with Du Heng immediately, and sent someone to write to her, asking her to cut off the iron mine line immediately, otherwise her life would be lost.

This side has not yet been dealt with, and there is another disturbance in the northwest, and the informant comes to report——

Said that the letters between him and the third prince of the foreign race were stolen, Meng Qing immediately thought of Lin Rong.

At the risk of exposing his informant, he trapped Lin Zhi in the hands of the enemy, trying to silence him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rong's fate was very serious, he was obviously seriously injured, but he was allowed to escape.

But now more than a month has passed, and there is still no news.

On this day, an informant from Northwest came to report, and Meng Qing brought him into the secret room.

He ordered the people behind him to close the door, and the first thing he said was: "Where is Lin Rong? Any news?"

The informant bowed his head and replied, "The whereabouts are unknown."

Meng Qing's face was ashen, and he said: "Didn't I say that you have to see people when you are born, and you have to see corpses when you die? Now you don't even know whether you are dead or alive? What do you mean by missing? Now that the war has stopped and the Northwest Army is victorious, they What about it? Have you ever found Lin Rong's whereabouts?"

The informant said in a tenuous manner: "My lord, the spy we planted in the Northwest Army has been exposed because of the assassination of Lin Rong. Now the brothers are hiding in hiding and still stick to the northwest because of the little lord. Order, to find out Lin Rong's whereabouts..."

Meng Qing's eyes turned cold, and his voice was indistinguishable: "You mean, my order was wrong?"

The informant lived in the northwest all year round. Although Meng Qing was his master in name, but apart from this so-called loyalty, they were just a relationship of interests.

If it weren't for the good salary, who would work for him?
On the surface, the informant still respectfully said: "The villain dare not. However, no matter how powerful a person is, if he is hit by an arrow from our brother in the heart, he will definitely not have a reason to live. Now that a month has passed, even the After rummaging through the dead bodies on the battlefield, I can't find Lin Roe..."

Meng Qing looked at the perfunctory person in front of him, wishing he could kick him over.

Threats are not enough, now there is only one way to lure, so he said to the informant: "Look again. If Lin Zhi is found, each person will be captured alive with a thousand taels of gold, and the identifiable corpses will be worth a hundred taels of gold. If there is definite news, whether dead or alive, each person There are rewards."

Nothing is as useful as real gold.

The informant responded immediately: "Obey! You and the brothers will not disgrace your orders."

Meng Qing asked a few more words and let him go down.

After the informant left, Meng Qing began to walk around the room anxiously, repeating in his mind the decision he made when he heard the news from Northwest that day that the letter had been stolen—

He sent people to intercept and kill Lin Rong who had penetrated deep into the enemy's belly, quickly cut off the connection with the foreign race, and used all his men in the northwest to surround and search for Lin Zhi...

Among the enemy's cavalry and his soldiers, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu could not escape; what's more, Jiang Ning and Xie Qian hadn't moved at all, and even Yao Chao was following the direction he pointed.

Meng Qing frowned, and decided to put aside the Northwest affairs for the time being, and concentrate on solving Yao Chao.

Ever since Yao Chao got the news of iron mining in the suburbs of Beijing and began to investigate secretly, Du Heng lost contact with Meng Qing.

Du Heng had expected such a day long ago, so he simply sent all the servants who knew about it to Zhuangzi, and then burned them all.

The hilltop with iron mines in the suburbs of Beijing is nominally the property of her mother's natal Zhou family, so naturally it has nothing to do with her.

After all this was done, Du Heng took a breath as if he had come to life.

The new servant girl, Xiao Hong, is good at observing words and expressions, and cleverly never inquires about Du Heng's affairs, but strictly abides by her own duty and takes care of Du Heng's daily life every day.

On this day, she saw that the young lady's mood was not as tense as it was a few days ago, so she replied: "Miss, someone from Lu Mansion has invited the young lady to go out for five days in a row, and you have ordered not to disturb... the servant girl was thinking, After all, Mr. Lu is Miss’s friend, so it’s not good to ignore him for so many days.”

When Lu Hua asked her to meet, she never used the name of Lu Mansion.

Du Heng was a little surprised, frowned and asked, "Who is in the Lu Mansion?"

With a smile on her face, Xiao Hong replied: "I heard that she is Mr. Lu's younger sister, and I want to invite you over to the house."

She was born in the countryside and never had the opportunity to go to a place like Shangshufu.

In the past, I thought that coming to Du's house to serve Du Heng was the most important thing, but now I hope to see the noble girl in the capital, Xiao Hong has some expectations in her heart.

I heard that Miss Lu is the daughter of the Minister of Military Affairs—could that be the appearance of a female general?

Xiaohong peeked at Du Heng, but saw a trace of boredom flashing across her face: "She invited me to the house? We have no friendship before, and there will be no intersection in the future. What do you ask me to do?"

Xiaohong smiled and said: "I don't know about this either. But I heard that the girl from the Lu family has been to our Jinxiu Cloth Village. Maybe Miss Lu wants to do business with the young lady, but I don't know."

What Xiaohong said, she hit straight to the point that Du Heng was most worried about these days.

Jinxiu Cloth Manor has closed its doors for more than a month now, if they don't open again, I'm afraid they won't be able to open.

Besides, she was married to Lu Hua in her previous life, and she knew that her sister-in-law would also do business in the future. If she really fell in love with Jinxiu Cloth Village, there would be a turning point for things.

Thinking of this, Du Heng said to Xiaohong: "Go and write a letter to Lufu, I will go there in the afternoon."

Xiaohong was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just let out an "hey", refilled the teapot by Du Heng's hand with hot water, and briskly replaced her room with new incense.

Du Heng let Xiaohong be busy, completely regarded her as a transparent person, opened a few letters by himself, and put them on the case after reading them.

I raised my hand to write a few words in reply, but found that the ink on the desk was dry.

She frowned slightly, and said loudly: "Xiaohong, Yanmo."

Xiaohong was still busy with work, she agreed and came in after a while.

Du Heng's complexion was already a little bad, and he reprimanded: "Knowing that I want to write, why don't I just study ink and run in and out to do useless things?"

Xiaohong originally planned to dry the quilt that Du Heng usually covered because of the good weather.

But as soon as he cleaned up the clothesline in the yard, he was criticized by Du Heng.

She just lowered her head and said: "I know I'm wrong, I'm going to grind."

Xiaohong is used to the rough work of serving people, and has rarely touched the inkstone. When A Su was there, she taught her how to grind ink.

Seeing Xiaohong's clumsy appearance, Du Heng felt angry for a while, so he just threw the Langhao pen in his hand on the table, and went out the door.

Xiaohong bowed her head, and pressed the tip of her right finger hard to make the ink into a blue and white color, but she still finished grinding the ink that Du Heng asked for in silence.
