If there is a real change in the border between Xiliang and Liang, the empress dowager would not be too optimistic.
Waiting for Feng Qingbo and Wei Zi to come out, coaxing Croton, the empress dowager smiled absent-mindedly.
Liu Yusheng spoke several times in the meantime, but the old lady shook her head and didn't hear him, and then Liu Yusheng didn't bother her again.
To General Qin, the Queen Mother was not so careless.
How could it be possible to forget the friendship when I was young.
In the side hall, Feng Qingbai was sitting by the window, listening to Wei Zi telling the news he had received.
"General Mocheng Defender..." Feng Qingbai tapped his index finger on the tabletop, frowning slightly.
After entering Xiliang, he learned about the situation in Mocheng.
The one guarding Mocheng, named Mao Taihe, has been promoted to the position of general for five years. He is the leader of the younger generation of Xiliang generals, around 30 years old.
However, because Xiliang had never been locked out of the country before, the surrounding countries had never taught Xiliang, and there was no way to know Maotaihe's combat power.
"Mao Taihe sent troops out of the city and approached the border... This matter may not be Ba Nian's decree." Feng Qingbai analyzed, "Ba Nian has ambitions, but he is not fully sure. He will not take action, otherwise he was in Mocheng. , He will not order us to go."
"What the prince meant, Mao Taihe's move was to transfer his troops privately? The court did not give an order. He dared to make private adjustments. The court would never sit idly by, and Ba Nian would not allow his disobedient generals to challenge his authority. . Why did Mao Taihe do such a self-destructive thing?" Wei Zi said.
"Will be outside, the military order is not subject to it. Now it is just a guess we have made, and we need to investigate the actual situation. We need to really make a decision." He cast his gaze out of the window, Feng Qingbai's eyes were deep. "Send General Qin, don't act rashly, take precautions, and watch the changes. If the other party really moves, everything on the border will be under the command of General Qin. In addition, Wei Cheng is sent to help General Qin to investigate the matter clearly."
"Yes."
Feng Qingbai returned to the side hall, where the old lady, the little lady and the two little dolls all turned to look at him, making people laugh in unison.
Knowing that both of them were anxious to know that except for what happened, Feng Qingbai didn't sell him. "The general defensive side of Xiliang sent troops out of the city and pressed the border. It is possible to declare troops to go to war at any time."
"Is going to fight?" Liu Yusheng stood up sharply and asked nervously.
"It's still unknown whether you can fight or not. Ba Nian is an opportunist. If he doesn't see the certainty of victory, he won't take it rashly. In the end, the thunder will be heavy and the rain will be small. Don't worry too much," Feng Qingbai said calmly. The empress dowager glanced at him, "General Qin has fought for decades, and he will never lose to a general of Xiliang who has never fought before in terms of battlefield experience."
"What's the use of rich experience, at an age, I guess I can't carry the big knife in my hand." The empress dowager said indifferently, her face has perfectly concealed the worries that had flowed out before.
"Fortunately, General Qin is not here, otherwise, he might have a broad sword in his left hand and an epee in his right hand."
Liu Yusheng, "..." This is really possible. Which man is willing to be underestimated by the one he likes? Rao is an old general at an age, and he will probably be anxious, trying to prove his ability.
The dignity gathered here was suppressed by a cold joke.
All the people present know how to conceal their emotions, and if they don't say what they are really thinking, it will be difficult to guess each other.
It was night, outside the northwest border, in the general's tent twenty miles north of Mocheng, the leader general Mao Taihe was sitting at a low table with a pot of sake and two wine glasses in front of him.
The glass was full, but no one moved.
Opposite him, sat a woman with a beautiful face, with a calm temperament.
"Although Qin Xiao is a veteran on the battlefield, it is the first time he has come to the Xiliang border. In terms of the terrain, he is far less familiar than General Mao. Moreover, the border city is still being built there, and the soldiers have not been integrated. This is also an opportunity for General Mao to take advantage of. If it succeeds and defeats the God of War in Nanling on his own, General Mao will surely become famous in the first battle, and those in the court will not be able to suppress you."
"The saint is absurd. I know my own ability. If I directly confront Qin Xiao, I won't have the upper hand, but if there is a saint to help me out, that's another matter." Mao Taihe laughed. "If I can make a merit in this battle, I should have half the merit of the saint."
Shan Lai raised her glass, "I'm here, I wish General Mao a victory in advance."
"Okay, victory! Hahaha!"
After drinking all the wine in the glass, Shan Lai got up and said goodbye. When he was about to leave, Mao Taihe grabbed his wrist and said, "The saint is so for me, we can be regarded as people on the same front, not tonight... Leave?"
At the man's lustful eyes, Shanlai did not struggle, and smiled slightly, "It is an honor for Shanlai to be favored by the general. It's a pity that as a Gu girl, Shanai is covered in worms."
The big rough hand gripping her wrist as if being scalded by fire, immediately retracted, Mao Taihe laughed to cover up his embarrassment, "I'm just kidding, and the saint must not take it seriously. Come, send the saint back to the camp!"
Returning to the tent set up for her alone, Shan Lai immediately washed her wrists with water. With great force, she rubbed her entire wrist off, and it was red and swollen before she barely suppressed the nausea.
Raising his eyes to look in the direction of the general's camp, Shan Gai's eyes flashed with killing intent, and his calm was restored instantly.
In the tent, there is also a maid, holding a small baby in her arms, shrinking in the corner with her head down, trembling.
"He fell asleep?"
"Back to the saint, the little master just fell asleep."
"Take him down when you fall asleep. I'm going to rest. Don't let him disturb me."
"Yes, the slave servant will withdraw now."
The maid exited the tent, holding the little doll in her arms, and turned into the low tent next to the camp. This is her temporary shelter and the residence of the little master in her arms.
Low and dim. Fortunately, it is now November, and the weather has cooled down, so the heat inside the tent will not be too hot, so it is so boring.
Gently put the little doll on the small wooden bed next to it, and looked at the sleeping little face, the maid sighed gently.
The child of the saint, with the status of the saint, should have been honorable. It's a pity that this little lord is different, and my mother doesn't hurt.
Therefore, Sora has the name of a little lord, but his destiny is as cheap as a weed.
I hope he can grow up in peace.
Glancing in the direction next door, the maid concealed the worry in her eyes and lay down beside the little doll.
But next door, Shan Lai didn't immediately fall asleep, but sat on the wooden bed, looking at the tabletop and jumping by the candlelight, in a daze. His expression gradually turned from dull to fierce, and what was left in the end was all hatred.
The man said to her-a woman full of bugs, she felt sick when she touched me, why do you think that I will enroll you as a concubine
