Qi Yun coughed twice, and then shook his head and said, "I can't wait for this, and the Qi family is not safe." He now understands why someone wanted to put him to death, this time burning food , it is very likely that Dongyu will be completely defeated, and now is the most critical juncture, whether it is him or Qinger, both are at stake.
He must be in his fifties, his gray hair made him look a little old, and those sharp eyes were not stained with panic or weakness due to injuries and difficulties, but were still clear and firm. She made a cup of hot tea for Qi Yun and slowly pushed it in front of him before she said softly, "It's already happened, it's no use rushing, how can you be safe when you come out like this?" , will do anything to kill him
"You already know?!" Qi Yun looked at the soft-spoken woman in surprise. He only received the 800-mile expedited secret report this morning, and she already knew it.
Murong Shuqing nodded lightly, her genial smile lifted slightly, and the reassuring power was transmitted to the hearts of everyone in the room, she said slowly in a calm and clear voice, "Don't worry about this, I have already adjusted it. When 30,000 shi of food arrives at Linfeng Pass, the army will not run out of food within a month. I think with the ability of you and the emperor, it should not be a problem to raise the March ration after a month."
"30,000 shi? Are you sure you can get there in five days?" Qi Yun's frown slowly loosened, but he still had doubts in his heart. 30,000 shi of food was not a small amount, it was enough for an army of 80,000 for one month. It is not easy to raise, let alone to send it to Linfengguan in such a short period of time.
"Don't worry." Murong Shuqing nodded firmly. She understood Qi Yun's concerns. If it wasn't for the Murong family's properties all over the country, and there were indeed several granaries near Linfeng Pass, she would not have been able to mobilize so much grain in five days. .
Qi Yun nodded reassuringly and said sincerely, "Qing'er, thank you this time." He came today because he wanted her to find a way to raise 10,000 shi of grain, which would be combined with the grain that the court had borrowed from elsewhere. Send it to Linfeng Pass, but it will take more than five days. Either the army will retreat and lose without a fight; or they will starve, which will affect morale and morale; or they will borrow food from the nearby people. The people were disappointed with the court.
Her actions today have resolved all the crises in front of her.
Murong Shuqing shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't say that, there is no country and no home, this is what I can and should do." She also knew that by doing so, she would undoubtedly expose the strength of the Murong family. , but she couldn't let the people of Dongyu fall into the flames of war in order to protect the Murong family herself. There were people in Dongyu who she wanted to protect. There must be gains and losses.
What a country without a home, Qinger has really grown up, even if Yueer is alive, some are just world-shattering talents and beautiful faces. Without such a wise thought, calm attitude, and broad mind, it would be impossible to achieve such a harmony in the world. If she is a man, that is the luck of the East and the blessing of the people. Qi Yun got up slowly, patted Murong Shuqing on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, then I'll go first."
Murong Shuqing helped him out of Jingshui Yaxu, bowed his body and saluted, and said, "Go slowly."
Qi Yun nodded, and was about to get into the carriage when he suddenly thought of something, turned around, looked at the elegant woman standing in front of him, and called out hesitantly, "Qing'er..."
Murong Shuqing raised his head and waited for his next words. What kept the old man silent for a long time
Finally, Qi Yun asked in a low voice, "You and Xuanyuan Yi really broke off their engagement?"
Murong Shuqing was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that at this time, he would ask this question. She didn't know why, but she still nodded lightly.
Qi Yunyuan's already stretched brows knitted together again, he shook his head and sighed, whispering in Murong Shuqing's ear, "It's better not to publicize this matter." After speaking, he gave her a deep look and hurried up the carriage.
Murong Shuqing stood in front of Jingshui Yaxu's gate for a long time, thinking about what Qi Yun said just now, what did he mean
Is it—
"Crap!" Murong Shuqing suddenly exclaimed, his face turning pale.
Qi Yun's words just now brought her a message that her marriage was no longer her own business. The power that the Murong family showed this time, the court both needed help and wanted to control, and the best way was to marry. If she wasn't Xuanyuan Yi's fiancee, the emperor would not have let her go.
During the trip to Lingshan, she had already seen that Xuan Tiancheng was interested in her, but she always thought that as long as he didn't let him know her identity and stopped appearing in front of him, that's all. But today, it seems that she is too naive, he doesn't need to know who she is, he married the money of the Murong family and the granary of the Murong family. The name Murong Shuqing, for him, was just another victim of consolidating his country and power.
If he knew that she happened to be Murong Shuqing, then she would have nowhere to escape.
"Miss, are you alright?" Lu Yi worriedly supported Murong Shuqing, whose face instantly became nervous. She has served the young lady for all these years, and she has never been so anxious. What did the uncle say in the young lady's ear just now
Murong Shuqing came back to his senses, met Lu Yi's worried eyes, took a deep breath, and whispered, "It's okay."
Murong Shuqing's obviously forced smile, how could she hide Lu Yi who took care of her carefully? Just looking at her thoughtful look, Lu Yi knew that something must have happened, and he couldn't help the young lady, so he could only silently help her into the back room and stopped talking.
All the way back, Murong Shuqing's bewildered mood gradually calmed down. Judging from the current situation, Xuantian has become Anbang Dingguo, and marrying the daughter of the Murong family is the most straightforward and feasible. But not to mention that she has no feelings for Xuan Tiancheng, even if she really has an interest in him, she will not let herself fall into such a political vortex.
It's not impossible for her to stay away from such disturbances. She has long been able to come and go freely and indulge in the landscape, but now she can't walk, she can't walk anymore. If he leaves like this, Qi Yun, Qi Yu, Qi Rui, and even his grandfather, who are officials in the dynasty, will be implicated, and those who are interested will be brought down. Her departure will bring disaster to the Murong family.
She has always known the horror of the supremacy of imperial power, and today, she has experienced it personally.
Sitting down beside the short table in front of the bed, the cold wind blew in from the window and ruffled Murong Shuqing's bun. Lu Yi was about to close the window when Murong Shuqing whispered, "Don't close it, let's get some air, go and see if Yan Yu is back, let him come to see me when he comes back." She knew that she looked very strange now. Well, I don't want Lu Yi to worry about it, so I have to let her go first.
Lu Yi glanced at Murong Shuqing who had her back turned to her, replied "yes" in a low voice, and backed out.
The November wind made his face hurt, and Murong Shuqing took a deep breath of cool air, feeling that his mind seemed to be clearer. For a moment just now, she truly felt fear, powerlessness, and embarrassment. She can't leave, unless she can let go of her relatives who have been with her for three years; she can't fight, unless she can change the royal family in the East, but these are all things she can't do.
She got up and went to the window, leaning against the window lattice, leaning her head gently against the window, Murong Shuqing closed her eyes, she needed to think about what to do next.
Yan Yu appeared silently beside Murong Shuqing, her frowning brows and closed eyes made her look as vulnerable as a normal nineteen-year-old girl, but he knew that when she opened her eyes, Those eyes are always shining with a firm and warm light. He once asked himself why he was willing to follow such a stinky little girl, with those eyes, indifferent but persistent, with her elegant body, elegant and calm.
"You're back." Murong Shu's clear voice interrupted Yan Yu's trance. Smiling and opening his eyes, Murong Shuqing leaned back against the window frame, looking at the dazed Yan Yu in front of him.
Yan Yu bowed his head slightly, and still replied in that cold voice: "Master, the things you explained are already being done."
Murong Shuqing nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Very good, let Feng Yi bring the ice soul, you go to prepare, and leave for Linfengguan tomorrow."
There are many things she can't change, but that doesn't mean she will sit still. Maybe Xi Lieyue is right, she always has to control her life in her own hands.
"Yes." Today's Murong Shuqing was a little different. Yan Yu could see a determined flame in those eyes that always smiled casually, and she was another kind of elegance.
Just after Yan Yu went out, Jingshui entered the house in a hurry. Looking at Murong Shuqing, who was watching the sunset by the window, Jingshui asked anxiously, "Miss, are you leaving?!"
Hearing the voice, Murong Shuqing turned to her side and explained, "Yes, although your face cannot be cured, it can be reduced. I have already found a good doctor for you, don't worry."
Murong Shuqing's words made the water purification even more urgent. She pulled Murong Shuqing's sleeve and said, "I'm not worried about this, I... I want to follow you." Miss is a sunshine in her life, Bring her warmth and confidence, and be around her, she will feel happy.
Murong Shuqing stared at her and said with a half-smile, "Follow me? My elder brother is going to chase and kill me."
How could she let Jingshui follow her? This time, the journey to Linfengguan was a long way, not to mention the dangers involved. She was still worrying about how to get this stubborn girl, Lu Yi, not to follow her. The person who burned the food would definitely not miss this opportunity to kill her, but she had to go this time.
"Miss—" Murong Shuqing deliberately teased, and it really made Jingshui blushed embarrassedly, and no longer entangled in the issue of following Murong Shuqing.
Holding her hand, the two sat down a few short distances before Murong Shuqing asked, "You know how big brother loves you, and you have accepted it. Next, there is still a very difficult battle to fight. He said he would never give up on you, so what about you?"
This time, Pure Water didn't answer with silence, as if determined, nodded and replied, "I won't give up either."
Her affirmative answer made Murong Shuqing laugh happily. She was about to leave soon, and the clean water had always made her feel at ease, but now she can finally feel at ease. "If you need any help from me, leave a message at the reception building, and I will know." She will do her best to help them, and there is always someone who is happy.
At the beginning of Yuehua, Murong Shuqing looked at Lu Yi busy arranging the sheets and bedding, and said, "Lu Yi, you can go back to Murong's house tomorrow."
Lu Yi did not reply "yes" as usual, the hand making the bed paused for a while, and then continued to make the bedding. After finishing finishing, she turned around, looked into Murong Shuqing's eyes, and replied firmly: "Miss, I'm not clean water, I won't leave."
This girl's temper is coming up again, Murong Shuqing was about to speak, but Lu Yi took a step ahead of her and asked earnestly: "You said that in a person's life, you must understand what you want, why you live, and live it out. self."
Murong Shuqing nodded and said, "I said so."
Lu Yi still looked into Murong Shuqing's eyes and said very firmly: "Then don't tell me to leave. I want to stay by your side and live for this peace of mind."
Murong Shuqing was taken aback by her answer, Murong Shuqing shook his head amusingly, what is the answer? She sighed in a low voice: "Lu Yi, it's not like that, actually—"
She just wanted to explain what self is, but Lu Yi didn't let her finish, "Miss, isn't it a kind of happiness to have a person worth caring about and following? Can't peace of mind be the reason for living?"
She has been sold as a maid since she was a child. She doesn't know what stability is, what self is, and it doesn't matter who is the master. She only needs to obey. No one will care about her thoughts, and she doesn't need to have thoughts. She felt like she was dispensable. She felt what is self-esteem and what is thinking around the young lady, and has a warm and stable power, which is what she wants.
It was the first time that Lu Yi interrupted her, and it was also the first time that Murong Shuqing didn't know how to answer Lu Yi's question.
