Chapter 222 There is another general in the family

Lu Mansion, Zhaoyun Courtyard.

Lu Xinran was dumbfounded after hearing the servant's words, and turned around in shock to look at Lu Xinlan.

Why is this military report so sudden?

Since the Dana tribe had the military strength to capture Yucheng Pass, why didn't Qi Yu realize it before?

Was it because the incident happened too suddenly, or was he blindfolded?

Could it be that someone among the defenders of Yucheng colluded with the Dana tribe, working together from the inside and outside, so that Qi Yu was unable to hold the city due to his serious injuries and had to flee in humiliation?

If this is the case, if this person is not found, even if the court sends reinforcements, Yucheng Pass will still not be recaptured.

If the situation continues to get more serious, the capital might even be captured.

Pei looked at the shocked and stunned expressions on their faces and sighed, "Qi Yu is seriously injured. Even if the court sends reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to retake Yucheng Pass."

[Yes, there is no military commander capable of fighting in the court. The Zhang family has been back in the capital for so many years, but the emperor has not yet trained a military commander who can be used. The emperor should really reflect on himself.]

The long-lost voice made everyone feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

Several people looked at each other silently, wondering why their inner voices had become so erratic.

Lu Xinlan lowered his eyes, agreeing with Lu Xinran's words in his heart.

The sudden attack by the Dana tribe was like a slap in the face to the emperor. If he could not effectively drive the Dana tribe back outside the Great Wall as soon as possible, the situation would become more serious and the entire Chu would be shaken.

"This matter is still far away from us. I called you here to tell you about this matter because I don't want you to say or do the wrong thing during this special period.

"We women don't need to worry about how to deal with these things. You don't have to worry too much. Just be careful during this period."

Pei clapped her hands and signaled everyone to go back to their rooms.

Zhao felt awkward when she saw Lu Xinran these days. As soon as Pei finished speaking, she immediately got up and left without even glancing at the two sisters.

[Has she been kicked in the head by a donkey these days? Otherwise, why is she acting like an animal? ]

Zhao, who had just walked out of the door, heard these words and almost couldn't control her temper and wanted to rush in again to tear her mouth.

This damn girl!

I knew that she was incompatible with me. How many families have been in trouble since she returned to the capital?

She doesn't want to acknowledge this kind of person as her daughter!

Zhao suppressed his temper and walked quickly, but he still heard the lingering voice.

[Oh, why does she always act like she has congenital cerebral palsy? It turns out that my grandmother told her about my dowry.]

【As a mother, she was unwilling to make any arrangements, nor to spend a penny.】

[I said she was on guard against me like a thief during this period, and this is the reason.]

[I don't even bother to think about her dowry. I will never be short of food and clothing in this dignified palace. Besides, the dowry given to me by the Duke will be enough for me to live comfortably as long as I manage it properly.]

[She thought everyone was like her, who valued the money in her hands very much, looked down on her grandparents and couldn't bear to let go of the money they gave her.]

[She is a whore and still wants to be a saint. It is so disgusting to have such a mother. 】

Speaking of the Yun family, Zhao paused for a moment as she hurried away.

The Zhao family was able to be convicted because of the voice of this dead girl. If it weren't for her, she would still not know the real cause of her mother's death.

However, she gritted her teeth in frustration, turned around and glared at the door, but finally strode away.

Lu Xinran complained about it and didn't forget to curse it out in disdain.

It is a curse on me to have such a mother.

Not wanting to think about the unlucky Zhao, she turned her attention back to the seriously injured Qi Yu. "Grandmother, General Qi is seriously injured. Who will lead the troops in that city?"

Without a capable and skilled general, how could the breached Yucheng Pass be recaptured?

What if the people of the Dana tribe reach Yanmen Pass, will they flee or not?

She was thinking too much at this moment, and Pei said something uncertainly after listening to her inner thoughts.

"We'll always find a candidate, right? These are not things we need to worry about. Xinran, come and take a look. This is the dowry list that your grandmother prepared for you."

While she was speaking, Aunt Xu brought in a tray with a thick book on it.

Lu Xinran subconsciously stepped forward and took the booklet. She flipped through it casually. It listed all the odds and ends that Pei had asked Madam Xu to compile for dowry.

She looked at it in bewilderment, for she had no idea what a woman's dowry should include.

She looked to Lu Xinlan for help, but Lu Xinlan was also in a blind spot of knowledge.

But she was different. Her original self had to understand these things, so she could only bite the bullet and take the booklet.

"Grandma, the dowry you arranged for my sister must be the best, so please don't let us decide for her."

She flipped through a few pages and immediately gave up. Even with her original body's memories, she couldn't read such trivial things.

Pei was very dissatisfied with their reaction, but thinking that Lu Xinran had not been in the capital before and didn't know much about these things, she stopped making things difficult for them.

She asked Aunt Xu to put the book away again, "You guys~ that's enough, I'll think about what else to add to the dowry, and Grandmother will definitely let you marry in a grand manner."

After leaving Zhaoyun Court, the two sisters huddled together tacitly.

Lu Xinran was still thinking about the war at Yucheng Pass. The long-lost name Qi Yu reminded her of the empress in the deep palace.

"Sister, the Zhang family has another general!"

Lu Xinlan was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized who she was talking about.

"Your Majesty will not let her leave the palace."

Not in any way.

Moreover, the empress has lived in the palace for many years, and her skills have probably become rusty.

"no!"

As if sensing her thoughts, Lu Xinran hurriedly said, "The Queen has been practicing martial arts diligently these years, without missing a single day."

She had never thought that she would be able to leave the palace, but the loneliness of practicing martial arts in the deep palace took up most of her energy, so she never fell behind in her martial arts.

Lu Xinlan squeezed her hand and said, "This matter requires an opportunity, but it cannot be initiated by the Queen, do you understand?"

It can't be mentioned by just the two of them.

If you want to help the queen, you need other people to push you.

Lu Xinran turned his head instantly and looked over the eaves to the front yard.

"You mean?"

She squeezed her eyes, and Lu Xinlan smiled knowingly.

If Lu Jinchuan has the will, it won't be difficult to ask him to take the initiative to propose the empress...

The two sisters had a general idea and went back to the yard.

In the study room in the front yard, Lu Jinchuan was still thinking about the conversation he had just "eavesdropped".

He originally wanted to go to the backyard to find Lu Xinran and test the waters with her, but as soon as he passed Zhaoyun Courtyard, he heard their conversation on the road.

The empress had always had a reputation for being invincible at the border in her early years. If she had not married the emperor, she would still be in Yucheng Pass.

If her martial arts skills had not improved, she might be the only one who could solve the urgent problem.

However, he cannot be the one pushing the issue.

He was not sure what the emperor was thinking, so he had to find someone to test it.

With an idea in mind, Lu Jinchuan hurried out. When the carriage was about to arrive at the Prince of Wei's Palace, he changed his mind and changed his route to Song Junhua's Prince of Jin's Palace.
