Bai Juncheng frowned as he looked at the memorial that had been delivered by express horse and sighed. Bai Jinjin, who happened to be there, suddenly had a twitch in her eyelids. She felt that something was wrong.
"Daddy, why are your brows so furrowed? You could pinch a fly to death."
The man called Bai Jinjin and his brows relaxed a little, "Why is Jinjin here?"
Seeing this, Bai Jinjin stepped forward and hugged Bai Juncheng's waist, "Of course it's because Jinjin misses daddy."
It just so happened that Concubine Ye also came to see Bai Juncheng, holding Bai Juncheng's favorite food in her hand. Seeing Bai Jinjin was also there, she also said teasingly, "Jinjin, how come you have time to come to see daddy today? Why don't you accompany your brother Ye?"
Bai Jinjin's face puffed up as she pursed her lips and sat in Bai Juncheng's arms, "Why is mother like this? It's not like Jinjin only plays with Brother Ye every day!"
To be honest, she would feel uncomfortable if her adopted mother didn't tease her once a day. Bai Juncheng felt the harmonious atmosphere and his brows finally relaxed.
Seeing that Bai Juncheng's request had eased, Bai Jinjin asked tentatively: "Daddy, what makes you frown?"
Bai Juncheng handed the memorial to Bai Jinjin. The girl looked at it carefully before putting it down, her brows furrowed like Bai Juncheng's.
"Why are the frontier soldiers so short of money now?"
This little adult look caught the eye of Concubine Ye, who stepped forward and pinched her little face, "Jinjin, don't imitate your father. Children don't need to worry about such national affairs."
Bai Jinjin took Concubine Ye's hand away, raised her head and asked, "Daddy, how do we solve this problem?"
Bai Juncheng thought for a moment and said, "This matter must be handled personally by the General who protects the country."
"Who is going to invade our Qin State?"
"Winter is almost here, and the northern grassland tribes can no longer hold back. I'm afraid they'll attack Qin to plunder some of its resources."
Concubine Ye stepped forward and patted Bai Juncheng's arm, "The child is still so young, why are you telling her these things?"
Seeing that her cheap mother was still trying to stop her from getting the news, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Ye and said coquettishly: "Oh, mother Jinjin is no longer a child, Jinjin can listen!"
Bai Juncheng laughed heartily. His originally tense mood due to the urgent situation on the border was relieved by Bai Jinjin's nonsense. "Yes, my lady, Jinjin is already a big child. It's okay for her to listen."
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin pouted and nodded, "That's right! Jinjin has grown up already, why didn't mother let Jinjin listen."
The father and daughter formed a united front. Concubine Ye placed her hands on her hips and said, "Children should behave like children. How can they presumptuously discuss state affairs?"
Seeing Concubine Ye was about to go forward and carry her away, Bai Jinjin quickly grabbed Bai Juncheng's clothes, "Oh, mother, Jinjin can help ~ Trust Jinjin!"
Seeing this, Bai Juncheng embraced Concubine Ye, put his handsome face in front of Concubine Ye, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "My lady, just let Jinjin help me, trust me."
Concubine Ye blushed at this unexpected turn of events and quickly got out of Bai Juncheng's arms, "You, just spoil her."
After saying that, she hurried out. Bai Jinjin and Bai Juncheng looked at each other and asked, "Is mother shy?"
"That should be it? Otherwise, he wouldn't be walking so fast."
"So when does Daddy plan to send the General Guarding the Nation off?" Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Juncheng in confusion.
Bai Juncheng thought about it and said, "Tomorrow the general will go out to solve this matter."
After saying this, he placed Bai Jinjin on the dragon throne and stood up to draft an imperial edict. "The grassland tribes in the north are the best at cavalry. They regard riding and archery as an honor."
Li Ji then quickly took the imperial edict to the General's Mansion, but Bai Jinjin always had a bad feeling in her heart.
…
The General who guards the country is training Mo Yunqiu in strategy. After he came back from looking for you that night two months ago, Mo Yunqiu has become a little taciturn and has become more diligent in his daily training.
This is when Xiao Si stepped forward and told the general, "General, the eunuch Li from the emperor's side has arrived, and he has brought the imperial edict."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yunqiu stopped swinging his sword and looked at his father. The general had a serious expression on his face, as if he already knew something.
Li Ji knelt on one knee at the front door and unfolded the imperial edict. "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the war on the border is urgent. The northern grassland tribes are invading and you are urgently needed. Depart for the border immediately. I have high hopes for you. When you return with success and fame, I will surely welcome you back!"
The general raised his hands and replied in a strong voice, "Old minister, accept the order!"
Li Ji handed the imperial edict to the General Guarding the Nation and looked at him with a worried look on his face. "General, this matter is of great importance and Your Majesty is worried. There is no one in the court who can compare to the General Guarding the Nation."
The general, of course, knew what Li Ji meant by this and cupped his fist. "Please, eunuch, tell the emperor that I will leave immediately."
Li Ji nodded and boarded the carriage back to the palace. Mo Yunqiu stood by and watched for a long time. Seeing his father, he immediately ordered people to prepare battle robes. "Father! Please take your son with you to this war!"
The general shook his head and said, "Yunqiu, your father still wants you to keep an eye on those officials in the court. This time, your father cannot take you with him."
Mo Yunqiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually closed it and pursed his lips, "Okay, father."
The general nodded, sighed, patted Mo Yunqiu on the shoulder, and turned to leave.
Soon, the general guarding the country led his army out of the capital. Seeing the general leading the soldiers out of the city, everyone talked about it.
"Alas, winter is almost here, why is there still a war?"
"It's winter now that makes people want to invade our land and plunder it."
"When will this war end?"
"The general has protected us for so many years, we should trust him." said a vendor.
"Yes, the General has protected us for so many years, we should trust him!"
Suddenly, the people raised their hands as if spontaneously.
"Come on, General! We await your return!"
All kinds of noisy sounds entered the ears of the general who defended the country, but no one said anything discouraging. This not only encouraged the soldiers, but also made the general feel very relieved.
This is the country and people he fought so hard to protect.
Then he rode out of the capital at full speed with his army.
This matter reached Bai Juncheng's ears. Bai Juncheng was very pleased with the people's trust in the general who defended the country. The people of Qin would always believe in the general who defended the country, which was a good thing for him.
