Chapter 228 Protecting Leeks
Qin Sheng followed Lu Songli into the room.
Lu Songli casually sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Sit down."
Qin Sheng looked around her, then looked at his dirty self, and then sat down obediently opposite her on the office chair by the window.
He covered the straps with his hands and called her pitifully, "Lili——".
He is like a dog that tried to trick people into giving him a bone but failed. It is hard to say what he is saying.
Lu Songli rubbed his forehead and thought, forget it, it’s true that he was injured, but his martial arts skills are very strong, so his bones and muscles are not injured, only a large area of sweat hair is injured.
He was nervous and tied himself up a few times, what could she do? Of course, she couldn't blame him.
Lu Songli sat on the edge of the bed and waved at him, "Come here, tell me if you have any other injuries?"
This time, Qin Sheng shook his head sincerely.
"Come here and tell me about the war." Lu Songli looked around and found that their current accommodation conditions were still too simple.
Qin Sheng hesitated, "I'm dirty." He hadn't taken a shower or changed clothes for several days. He knew that his wife was a bit of a germaphobe.
"I'm going to take a shower!" He'll come back after I'm done cleaning up!
After Qin Sheng finished speaking, he rushed out excitedly.
Lu Songli didn't even have time to call out to him. She thought, forget it, he should be used to being embarrassed anyway, right?
Qin Sheng went to the yard, took two wooden buckets, and scooped water from the water tank.
The noise outside brought Su, who was busy in the kitchen, out.
"Sixth brother, are you going to take a shower?" Su was shocked.
"Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law~" Qin Sheng's voice was cheerful.
"Aren't you injured? Why are you taking a cold shower?"
Hearing this, Qin Sheng was stunned.
Su continued to persuade him, "You'd better not take a cold shower. It's not good for the wound."
In reality, what Su wanted to say was that the wound should not be exposed to water, and it was best not to wash it, or if it really needed to be washed, let Sixth Brother's wife help him. But she calculated the date and vaguely guessed that Sixth Brother and Sixth Brother's wife might not have consummated their marriage yet, so she didn't say it.
"There's no hot water yet, but it's boiling. Can you wait a little longer?"
Qin Sheng wanted to say that it was okay to take a cold shower.
It was obvious that he hadn't given up. Su looked at him disapprovingly, "You can't joke about your body. Xiaoliu, you must be obedient. If you don't, I will call mother over and let her talk to you."
Qin Zhao gloated over other people's misfortune. This was what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
Qin's mother was helping to light the fire in the kitchen, thinking, let me tell you to pretend to be injured.
Finally, Qin Sheng washed his face and went back to the house dejectedly.
Lu Songli was not surprised at all.
Seeing how miserable he looked, Lu Songli wanted to laugh.
She stood up, walked over to him, took his hand, and sat on the edge of the bed together.
"Lili, I--" When he sat down, the bed sheet was in disarray.
Lu Songli said indifferently, "It's okay, come, let's talk."
Qin Sheng thought, at worst he could get up before dawn tomorrow to fetch water and wash the sheets!
"Was it hard fighting this time?" Lu Songli looked him up and down carefully and found that he seemed a little thinner and there were some red bloodshot eyes, obviously he did not get enough rest.
"Not bad." Qin Sheng told her the general situation.
After saying this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Lu Songli asked him, "Do you have anything to say? If you have something to say, just say it. Is there anything that is difficult for us to talk about?"
Qin Sheng said to her, "Lili, do you know who is the general leading the Xianbei troops this time?"
"Who is it?" Lu Songli asked following his words.
"It's Tuoba Lian."
"Is it him?" He showed her the small notebook in which he had recorded the situation. Tuoba was one of the eight nobles of Xianbei. Tuoba Lian was the son of Tuoba Khan, and he had a strong desire for revenge.
"We must prevent him from making a surprise attack--" He was withdrawing from Houcheng, and Houcheng might be in trouble.
Qin Sheng nodded. "I told my eldest brother about this before I came back. He also felt that we should be wary of this person. Later, I think he went to talk to Le Gui, the Liaodong County Magistrate."
Lu Songli pondered the impact this would have on them, and when she came to her senses, she found Qin Sheng lying there in a daze. She realized that Qin Sheng seemed to have become depressed after he finished talking about this.
Lu Songli also lay down, propped up her head and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Qin Sheng said gloomily, "My father died, our family was exiled, and my fourth and fifth brothers all died for the Song Dynasty. Now we have to defend the territory of Dali and the Song Dynasty against foreign enemies. I feel very confused."
Qin Sheng reveals his true feelings.
Lu Songli could understand his current pain and confusion very well, and knew that his emotions were not directed at the people of Houcheng, but at the Song Dynasty.
She decided to comfort him, "I'm glad you told me this."
"As your wife, I solemnly tell you that you did the right thing."
"As the saying goes, a true man is not ashamed of heaven when he looks up, nor of the earth when he looks down. The people of Houcheng and Liaoyang are all innocent."
"When faced with major issues of right and wrong, we should put aside prejudice and selfishness."
"You felt lost, but you still did it. This might have caused you pain and confusion for a while. If you had turned a blind eye to the potential crisis and stood by and did nothing because of your own selfishness, you might have regretted it for the rest of your life. I'm glad you made the right choice."
Carrying the responsibility of so many lives, I will be burdened with guilt for the rest of my life.
Lu Songli's words made Qin Sheng suddenly enlightened.
After figuring it out, Qin Sheng looked at her in confusion. He admitted that what she said made sense, but his wife didn't seem like such a selfless person.
After being together for so long, Qin Sheng thought he had a little understanding of her.
Others think that it is good for you, it is good for me, and everyone else, which is very helpful: but my wife thinks that it is good for you, it is good for me, and everyone else. She is a bit purposeful in doing things.
Qin Sheng didn't see how this would benefit her.
Lu Songli could tell him that as a former successor of socialism, she had a strong sense of ownership.
She had long regarded Liaoxi County as their habitat, and the common people on this land were all their leeks. No, it should be said that the common people on this land were all their people.
Ah, that's exactly what I mean. It was fine for the Xianbei to come and harvest them every year, but now Tuoba Lian is actually trying to uproot the leeks? How can this be allowed!
Outside the house, Qin Yu was knocking on the door and calling them out for dinner.
Lü Songli patted him on the shoulder and said, "You will protect this land and the people who live on it. You will never regret what you did today."
In Houcheng, two or three hundred miles away, in the village closest to the northern grassland, Le Guicai was ordering people to clean up the battlefield.
Tuoba Lian was captured!
Among the elite troops he led, only a few Xianbei warriors were dispersed and escaped.
Le Guicai was very happy. He thought that he could not accomplish his goal in one go, but he did not expect that the big fish that had escaped could come back again!
Because Tuoba Lian has not yet grown to the point where he can lead troops independently, his temperament is unknown, so it is impossible to infer his actions.
But Tuoba Lian was really predicted by the Qin brothers. They were indeed the sons of a military family and they had their own way of fighting.
If Tuoba Lian regretted it, he shouldn't have come back! If he hadn't come back, he wouldn't have run into the net that was set up to catch him.
God knows he just wanted to strike back, massacre a few villages, and vent his anger.
