Chapter 235 Secession of Houcheng
That day, the Qin family had just returned from working in the fields.
Mo Lianfeng came to the Qin family to inform them, "You don't have to work this afternoon. Pack up, you'll be leaving tomorrow."
What?! The Qin family was extremely shocked.
Mo Lianfeng repeated, "I'll give you one afternoon. Someone will come to take you away tomorrow."
Mo Lianfeng's expression was filled with regret. He really liked the Qin family; they had brought him so many surprises. However, the higher-ups wanted to transfer them away, and there was nothing he could do.
Qin Zhao's expression was full of admiration. My sixth sister-in-law is so awesome!
It was revealed yesterday that they might leave Xiangping Military Settlement, and it came true today.
Qin Yan didn't expect that she would actually accomplish this.
"Sir Mo, these are the steps of the rice seedling transplanting method I mentioned before. Please accept them." Lu Songli took two steps forward and handed the other party a piece of paper, which she had written overnight.
As she handed it over, she smiled and said, "We must persevere in those few acres of experimental fields."
Mo Lianfeng: Look, look, what did he just say? The Qin family is always thorough and impeccable.
After the other party took it, Lu Songli asked in a low voice, "Master Mo, do you know where we are going next?"
Mo Lianfeng looked around and whispered, "I heard they are going to Houcheng." And I heard that the Qin brothers will also be selected to join the army.
"Houcheng..." Lu Songli nodded, "Thank you, Lord Mo, for telling me."
As she expected, Le Guicai would definitely place them in Houcheng.
Mo Lianfeng looked at the sky and said, "You guys should pack up. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."
"Goodbye, Lord Mo." Qin Heng personally escorted the person to the door.
After Mo Lianfeng left, Qin Heng suddenly said to Qin's mother and Shen Erniang, "Mother, Second Niang, take everyone and pack your luggage first."
Qin Heng looked around, and everyone caught in his sight knew that they should pack their luggage obediently.
Finally, he looked at Lu Songli and said, "Sixth sister-in-law, come with me."
Lu Songli noticed that Qin Heng's expression was vaguely wrong, and she understood in her heart that in the original novel, her uncle was capable of becoming emperor and it was impossible for him to realize that something was wrong.
"Okay, big brother." Lu Songli probably guessed what he wanted to talk to her about.
In fact, from the time the Qin family was imprisoned until now, no, it should be said that even earlier, a series of affairs of the Qin family were led by her, and Qin Heng watched silently from the side.
As long as she hadn't gotten into trouble, he had disappeared. Now that things were clearly not going well, he came out.
Qin Heng walked in front, followed by Lu Songli.
Qin Sheng followed without saying a word.
When the other members of the Qin family saw this, they knew that the two had something extremely important to discuss.
Qin Yan and Qin Zhao helped to clear the area.
After clearing the area, Qin Yan and Qin Zhao signaled Qin Sheng inside to come out.
The eldest brother didn't call them just now because he didn't want them to participate in the conversation. Moreover, the eldest brother only called the sixth brother's wife, but not the sixth brother, so he was also among those who were cleared out.
Qin Sheng turned his head and pretended not to see it.
He is Lili's beloved husband and the eldest brother's biological brother. Is there anything he can't listen to?
Also, what are the second and third brothers doing? Didn't you see that his eldest brother and his wife didn't say anything?
Qin Yan and Qin Zhao, brothers, looked at Qin Sheng with admiration for his stubbornness.
"Headstrong" is a word used by my sixth brother's wife. They heard it and thought it was quite interesting. It is particularly suitable for the current situation.
Qin Sheng stayed close to Lu Songli, not only ignoring the hints from his second and third brothers, he even pretended not to understand the look his eldest brother gave him.
Qin Heng felt a headache and finally said, "Xiao Liu, you get out too."
Qin Sheng: "Brother, please let me stay here. I promise not to make any noise."
Qin Heng looked at him helplessly.
Lu Songli reached out and patted Qin Sheng's arm, "You go out first."
Lu Songli knew that Qin Heng was also considering that Qin Yan and Qin Zhao were outside. If the three of them were to discuss things inside, it would feel like they were being excluded.
This is not conducive to unity. Sometimes, certain details still need to be paid attention to.
After Qin Heng and Lu Songli spoke at the same time, Qin Sheng walked out, looking back every few steps.
Just get out! Do you think you can hide it from him? His five senses are very sharp, huh!
Qin Zhao looked at him mockingly. Did he think he could just stay there?
Qin Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stood in the distance, staring at the house eagerly.
Now, everyone has gone out, and only Qin Heng and Lu Songli are left in the room.
But one of the doors was ajar, so one of them could be seen through the other half of the open door, which was also to avoid suspicion.
Qin Heng asked in a deep voice, "Sixth sister-in-law, what do you want to do?"
"Brother, why do you ask that?" Lu Songli asked back slowly.
"Do you know what I'm asking? Why should the Qin family go to Houcheng?" Qin Heng asked directly.
Houcheng was adjacent to the Xianbei grasslands and was more dangerous than Xiangping. Their family went to Houcheng, but they were exposed to real danger.
In addition, it was Le Guicai who captured Tuoba Lian alive, and there is a high possibility that war will break out again in Liaodong County.
There are eighteen counties in Liaodong County, and Xiangping must be aware of it, but Houcheng, Wangping and Wuliu County will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
My sixth brother's wife is actually putting our whole family in danger.
Lu Songli knew very well that taking high risks meant rewards. Otherwise, they might as well continue to live in the military settlement. This was the point at which Qin Heng couldn't understand her.
"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, after our family goes to Houcheng, you, my second brother, my third brother, and Ah Sheng will be assigned to the army by Le Guicai, the Le Commandant."
Qin Heng was startled, then slightly delighted. Joining the army meant they had a chance...
But before he could even feel happy, Lu Songli poured a bucket of cold water over his head, "Brother, do you think that after you join the army, you can rely on hard work and dedication to achieve military merit and save the Qin family from exile? It's impossible."
"For example, this time, your contribution to the battle has been erased."
If the Qin family is to be exonerated, Zheng Xun needs to report their achievements to the court and to the new emperor. How then will Zheng Xun explain this to the emperor and the court?
Recruiting exiles goes against his image of loyalty to the emperor and political correctness.
The new emperor would definitely first consider whether he was no longer suitable to be the governor of Liaodong County.
The reason why Zheng Xun agreed to let Le Guicai recruit the Qin brothers was that he wanted to use them to guard Liaodong County without remembering their merits. It would be best to squeeze out the last bit of value from the Qin brothers and let them die on the battlefield.
Lu Songli knew very well what Zheng Xun was planning, and it was she who sent someone to guide him in this idea.
Qin Heng was puzzled. "Then why did you still make efforts to bring your whole family to Houcheng?"
It sounds like there is no benefit for the whole family. It is better for them to stay in Xiangping Military Settlement. Here, at least everyone is safe.
"Brother, my father may be transferred to be the magistrate of Houcheng County." Lu Songli said.
How could she function this way if there were no benefits?
Qin Heng: "Do you want the Qin family to seek refuge under Uncle Lu?"
"Yes and no. Brother, Houcheng, and even Liaodong County, cannot maintain long-term stability without military power." Lu Songli said softly.
Her father had already taken over the political power, and the military power would depend on the Qin brothers.
Lu Songli had made it very clear that the military power of Houcheng required the efforts of the four brothers.
Qin Heng chewed on it, military and political power were all in one person.
"You want to—" Qin Heng stood up involuntarily, suppressing his emotions as much as possible, and said in a low voice, "Secede control of Houcheng?"
Qin Heng realized that his sixth brother's wife actually had the ambition to establish her own regime!
He felt it was incredible, but at the same time, he felt it was as it should be.
So that's how it is. Everything that happened along the way and everything she did all have a reasonable explanation.
"Why not?" Lu Songli raised his eyebrows and asked.
