When I left, I took a look at the sky and sighed in my heart that this year's Dragon Boat Festival was really not going well.
When Ji Wan arrived at the Qingshizhou military camp, he raised his eyebrows when he saw the number of people Lou Shao was going to take away.
"Why so few?"
Cui Min was also strangely silent for a moment, "Your Highness, most of these 10,000 people are General Lou's confidants.
Some ordinary soldiers still wanted to stay in Qingshi State.
By the way, General Xiangyang will also follow General Lou."
Ji Wan's face twitched, and she understood.
Most of these soldiers were ordinary people, even though they were brought out from the military camp in the royal capital by Lou Shao.
In this era, people did not join the army voluntarily, most of them were doing forced labor.
We are all ordinary people, and what we want most is naturally to have enough food to eat and to survive.
Although the King of Donglin had only been able to provide them with enough food before, their lives were in danger on the battlefield and it was unknown whether they could survive.
Not to mention making money as an official.
But Ji Wan's situation is different. She teaches the soldiers powerful training methods.
He also imposed strict requirements on the soldiers, so that they and their comrades could survive the battle with the enemy when they went to the battlefield.
Also, as long as the soldiers here with Ji Wan are excellent.
Those who rank among the best in training and fighting.
There has never been a shortage of silver, money, and various welfare rewards, and they are even much more than before.
Not to mention the temptation of becoming an official as long as you have the ability.
Many of them were ranked among the top in training many times.
During the exercise, he was directly selected by Ji Wan and promoted from an ordinary soldier to a squad leader and centurion.
How could he just change jobs just because Lou Shao said he wanted to go to Ningxi Country?
On the other side, Lou Shao's face changed immediately when he saw the woman and child following Yang Guan.
My heart slowly sank.
They were his wife and daughter. They were originally in the Ningxi Kingdom Palace, accompanying Madam Xiling.
Now, people here...
The woman held the child in her arms, her face full of panic. When she saw Lou Shao, she rushed over to him, but was blocked tightly behind him by Lou Shao.
"Your Highness...what does this mean?"
Ji Wan had no expression on her face, and just glanced at Lou Shao's wife Cong Ru.
"Mrs. Lou, tell me what this means."
When Cong Ru heard Ji Wan ask this, she almost dropped the child in her arms, and her voice trembled.
"Madam Xiling said that she doesn't need a traitor who is disloyal to her master."
Ji Wan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, as expected.
In Xiling Mingyue's heart, Lou Shao was specially trained so that her child would have the right to speak in the court of Donglin Kingdom in the future.
But Ji Wan has now grown into a powerful prince, and he does not need Lou Shao's protection in the court.
If he betrays her child, then this person will be completely useless.
Even though he has military power.
Lou Shao is a fool.
He is also unable to see the situation clearly.
Although her relationship with Xiling Mingyue is so bad now, Xiling Mingyue doesn't hate her anymore and has no love for her!
It is even because of love that the current conflict arises.
Xiling Mingyue loves her and also loves Xiling Ci.
In other words, it is to understand the two brothers and sisters.
It is possible to predict their future actions.
It is to reject the fratricide between the two brothers and sisters.
Therefore, loving Ji Wan is inevitable in Xiling Mingyue's heart.
But it contains many of Xiling Mingyue's worries, plans, fears, etc.
Love is intertwined with worry and vigilance.
The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh. If you give up either side, Xiling Mingyue will be the one who feels pain.
So for Xiling Mingyue, even though the current quarrel between her and Ji Wan was not pleasant, that was her child after all, the child she had been carrying for ten months.
She had been planning for the child like that when she was still in the womb.
Now that the child has been born and grown up safely, how can I easily give up planning for him after so many years?
In her mind, any quarrel between her and her children is a family matter.
But if someone were to jump back and forth between her and her child and betray their master at will, then this matter would become a political affair between two parties.
To put it bluntly, even if she and Ji Wan broke bones, they were still connected by tendons.
No matter how much trouble she makes, Ji Wan will never lay a hand on her or harm her life out of filial piety.
She even knew Ji Wan's personality and how good she had been to her before. She would remember it and most likely would not hurt her.
The most important thing is that she still loves Ji Wan, she is just angry because of what Ji Wan is doing now.
Even if she was dissatisfied, she only gave advice and never hindered Ji Wan's actions.
He even made the foolish move of letting his two children get married.
It is just to make the children live in harmony in the future and avoid killing each other.
It is precisely because of this that, given how much she loves her two children, she will definitely not take the initiative to do anything that would truly harm the interests of Ji Wan and Xilingci.
She also knew clearly that if it really threatened her daughter's interests.
Only then will her children truly fall out with her.
However, Lou Shao's haste in choosing sides clearly harmed Ji Wan's interests.
This made Ji Wan's subordinates feel uneasy.
This matter is big, but also small.
It all depends on what Ji Wan and Xiling Mingyue think.
Xiling Mingyue doesn't want anything that could hurt her daughter.
Naturally, he would not be sober-minded as to accept Lou Shao and really let his daughter confront Ning Xiguo.
She also didn't want the misunderstanding between Ji Wan and her to deepen because of taking over Lou Shao.
Pushing the already precarious mother-daughter relationship into a deeper abyss.
So she would not accept Lou Shao's surrender.
In order to maintain the mother-daughter relationship, she would even personally send Lou Shao's wife and children to Ji Wan, allowing her to dispose of the lives of Lou Shao's family at will.
Ji Wan was not sure what choice Lou Shao would make, so she spoke up to remind him, or perhaps to test him, in the carriage.
Let his wife pack her things and return to her tent without hesitation.
This is a reminder, not for Lou Shao to choose.
But to be honest, this sentence also has a tentative meaning.
She wanted to test what Lou Shao was thinking and see if something irreversible had really happened.
Who will Lou Shao choose?
But I didn't expect that this person was still stupid... no, he made a choice in a hurry.
This is what really angered Ji Wan.
To put it bluntly, since this person has already made up his mind to choose one side, no matter what choice Lou Shao makes, Ji Wan will not use him in the future.
It is not even certain whether he can survive.
Lou Shao has been in the court for so many years, how could he not understand or guess the relationship between Ji Wan and Xiling Mingyue, mother and daughter.
How could you take the initiative to change jobs when you can't see the situation clearly?
Then let's go back to what Lou Shao said in the carriage. He said, "My lord, is it really impossible for you to reconcile with Madam Xiling?"
