Chapter 539 Sanya joins the army

"Abandoned Mother, I want to send Jiaojiao to join the army."

"Join the army?!" Lu Qiniang stood up suddenly, her voice changing tone. "Sending Sanya to join the army? Isn't that ridiculous?"

If Xiao Yan was in the army, Lu Qin's mother would feel at ease letting San Ya follow him.

But Lu Qiniang was worried about letting San Ya join the army on her own.

San Ya is so brave.

This kid is scary when he gets angry.

She can't control herself and is easily hurt.

Swords and knives have no eyes, that's no joke.

"It's not nonsense. This is what she has always thought. Abandoned mother, when I was her age, I had already joined the military camp."

Lu Qiniang bit her lip.

The daughter she picked up and brought home from infancy and raised bit by bit has now grown up to be brave and tough, with great martial arts skills and courage and tenacity.

But she couldn't bear to let her join the army.

"Yes, I don't have my mother's love, but Jiaojiao has you." Xiao Yan said, "I know you are reluctant to let go. But I want to abandon my mother, her skills are so great that we really can't let them go to waste."

Who says women are inferior to men?

In time, San Ya will surely become the brightest star among the generals.

Her heart has never been in the boudoir.

What she longed for was to ride a horse, to shoot eagles with a bow, and to achieve great things like a man.

Trapping her in Qiongzhou, or sending her to Guangzhou Prefecture to serve as Erya's bodyguard, would be burying her and would be too cruel to her.

"What about your identity?" Lu Qiniang asked. "The imperial court doesn't allow women to join the army. Have you arranged everything?"

She understands Xiao Yan.

If Xiao Yan hadn't made all the necessary preparations, he wouldn't have spoken to her.

"It's all arranged." Xiao Yan said, "Her name is Xiao Xingxing, and she's the son I'm raising outside. As for the rest, Prince Yan will make the arrangements."

That identity was told to King Yan.

The Prince of Yan is a man of loyalty and righteousness. When he heard that the child was his son, he would definitely take good care of him.

"Why don't you just say she's our daughter?"

"Because Prince Yan is too talkative," Xiao Yan said, "I'm afraid he might do something bad with good intentions."

If the King of Yan knew that he had sent his daughter to the military camp, he would definitely nag about her and would visit her often to ask about her well-being.

Within three days, San Ya was targeted.

"But if it's his son's words, it doesn't mean he won't help."

Lu Qiniang still remembered his doting on Liu Jian.

Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I last saw Liu Jian.

Three years ago, after the Princess of Yan gave birth to her second son Liu Yu in the capital, she never returned to Jinling, but stayed in the capital with her two sons.

Originally, he only wanted to leave his son behind as a hostage, but ended up "taking one and giving away two".

This action made the emperor relax his guard against Prince Yan.

"It will be better, and I also want to shut him up."

Xiao Yan becomes upset whenever he mentions Prince Yan.

In recent years, the two have also communicated frequently.

But the King of Yan was always worried about his lack of a son and urged him to have one.

Xiao Yan has said many times that he has nothing good to inherit.

What else can he give to his son besides the bloodline of the rebels?

He definitely didn't dare mention Xiaoman's matter to Prince Yan. Maybe this guy would suddenly have a brainwave and help him confess to the emperor.

The King of Yan had always been concerned about his offspring.

This is a perfect opportunity to let King Yan know that his "son" has grown up to this age.

Stop talking.

"That's fine." Lu Qiniang didn't dwell on the details. "Prince Yan must have met San Ya before."

"It doesn't matter. He doesn't care about people's appearances." Xiao Yan said, "Besides, San Ya has changed a lot in the past few years."

Lu Qiniang: “…”

The biggest change is that it's darker.

Although she thinks she looks good and healthy when she is dark because of her mother's filter, she is still dark.

Moreover, San Ya is a big eater, like a calf, so she is tall.

She does have unique advantages when it comes to disguising herself as a man.

What Lu Qin's mother is worried about now is that swords and knives have no eyes, and she is afraid that San Ya will be in danger.

Xiao Yan seemed to guess what she was thinking and took the initiative to tell her, "There is no war right now. It's just daily training. Letting Jiaojiao go to the barracks is not too dangerous. It just allows her to recruit more people and use them for her own benefit."

Lu Qiniang was silent for a long time.

What can she say?

When a bird grows up, it will leave the nest; when a child grows up, he will leave his mother.

Her children are all successful and going their own ways, and she should be proud of that.

It's just that she is too useless and can't get over it for the time being.

"It's okay, I'll be fine in a moment." Lu Qiniang sighed, "It's grown, it's all grown."

Xiao Yan sat down next to her, silently put his arm around her waist and let her lean on him.

"Abandoned Mother, I know you feel bad—"

"No, Xiao Yan, don't try to persuade me." Lu Qiniang murmured, "I can figure it out myself. The children are grown up and can't stay with me forever. Besides, they are both promising, I should be happy. I just, just -"

"Worried." Xiao Yan said, "I know, I'm worried too."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Lu Qiniang said, "Be happy. We need to let them both pursue their future happily."

Lu Qin's mother, oh Lu Qin's mother, you can't hold these two children back.

But she couldn't help but feel her eyes moist.

I can’t bear to do it. I really can’t bear to do it.

Lu Qiniang leaned on Xiao Yan's shoulder and shed tears silently.

But when she saw her two daughters the next day, she didn't show any reluctance on her face, and even joked with them.

"You've all grown up and are more successful than your mother! In the future, one of you will give me a lot of money to spend and make me a rich old lady; the other one will earn me an imperial decree and let me live in glory."

Erya's eyes were red.

San Ya was still young and didn't quite understand the pain and reluctance that this separation brought to her mother.

She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely earn you an imperial decree!"

She, Xiao Xingxing, is really good!

Erya glared at her, but her eyes showed reluctance.
