Chapter 437 Interrupted
There was no fighting in Zhuolu County, Shanggu Commandery, and the large army later had a smooth journey. Chen Jinlong, Lu Dayou, and Gao Lei were extremely disappointed.
"Don't be disappointed. When spring comes, we will go and fight the pirates!" Qin Sheng said.
Chen Jinlong, Lu Dayou, Gao Lei and others were stunned. Sixth Master turned his attention to the pirates?
They looked at each other, and it must be because all the bandits on land had been wiped out by Sixth Master.
Brutal, so brutal!
"But I can't swim!" Lu Dayou cried. He was a tiger on land, not a dragon in the water.
"If you don't know how to do it, just study. It's the same for everyone!" Qin Sheng said coldly.
Lu Dayou was dumbfounded. This—does he have to master all kinds of skills? It would be really hard to make a living under him.
Chen Jinlong patted his shoulder and said, "Sixth Master is right. If you don't know how to do it, just learn it."
Lu Dayou had a sad face. What else could they do if they didn't want to learn? They had to learn even if they didn't want to, otherwise they would be forced to learn by the Sixth Master himself. And they couldn't beat him.
…
Victory news came from the north, Bei Jing defeated the Wuhuan.
When the victory news reached Chang'an, the whole court was filled with joy at the victory.
Sun Mansion
Sun Congyi saw that his father's face was not right after hearing the victory news, so he couldn't help asking, "Dad, the North won a victory, why are you still frowning?"
Sun Ming glanced at his son and said nothing.
"Don't look so gloomy. Dali won, so you don't have to go to the battle. Isn't that good?"
Sun Congyi knew that the Emperor had recalled his father from the South as a backup plan. If the Northern Generals Yan Zheng and Fu Jiangong were defeated, his father would be the one to clean up the mess.
Sun Ming then spoke, "The Qiang and Hu have been destroyed, and the Xianbei have agreed not to move south for three years. This is only the first year. I'm worried that the Wuhuan are deliberately losing to the Dali this time."
"No way? Wuhuan started the war themselves, and would they deliberately lose to Dali?"
"Think about it, the Wuhuan were defeated, but did they suffer heavy casualties or serious injuries?"
Sun Congyi carefully recalled the recent intelligence about the northern border, and it seemed that the Wuhuan did not suffer heavy casualties.
Seeing his son lost in thought because of his words, Sun Ming sighed.
Deep down, he didn't want Dali to win this time.
If we talk about the family that knows the North best, is most suitable to lead troops in the North, and resist foreign invaders in the North, it must be the Qin family. Even he is not qualified for the job.
If Fu Jiangong and others fail this time, the emperor can naturally use the Qin family at the request of the ministers.
It was not a good thing that Fu Jiangong and his men won this battle, because Yan Fu Jiangong and his men were only generals, not commanders.
Qin Sheng and his party passed through Shanggu County, Yuyang County, and Youbeiping County, taking the shortest route. After entering Liaoxi County, they entered their own territory.
After these 12,000-plus Yanbei disaster victims entered Liaoxi County, someone took over and made unified arrangements. They would be assigned to Liaoxi County, Xuantu County, or Lelang County. Because of the previous experience in arranging disaster victims in the south, the arrangements for these 12,000 people were carried out in an orderly manner.
Qin Sheng brought his men to help maintain order, and only after everything was properly arranged did he return to the camp with his men. He then gave the people who had been assigned the task a day off, and also gave himself a day off.
Qin Sheng returned home. He first went to the yamen to see if his wife was there. Finding that she was not there, he greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law and rode his horse home at full speed.
When he got home, it was almost time for dinner. His second sister-in-law and her family were cooking, his mother was sewing, and his wife was teaching the children to play checkers.
After Qin Sheng greeted his family, he thought for a moment, went back to the house to get a set of clean clothes, and carried two buckets of hot water to the bathroom.
After dinner, the children wanted to ask their sixth aunt to play chess, but were sent away by their sixth uncle.
After returning to the house, Lu Songli saw that it was still early, so she picked up an unfinished book and continued reading.
Qin Sheng brought in a bucket of hot water, "Lili, come and soak your feet."
"Okay, thank you, husband." Lu Songli's body had improved a lot after recuperation, but her feet were still cold. No matter how warm she dressed, she couldn't breathe out.
While Lu Songli was soaking her feet, Qin Sheng planned to change into a comfortable home clothes. The word "home clothes" was mentioned by his wife.
He changed into his pajamas first, touched his belly, and felt a little disappointed because the pajamas could not show his six-pack abs.
He thought for a moment, then took off his robe and changed into a top and pants. He was still wearing the same set he'd made a few months ago. Hmm, the top was a little tight at the shoulders, so he unbuttoned one button.
By the time he changed his clothes, Lu Songli was almost done soaking.
When Qin Sheng bent down to pick up the food in the basin, his shirt was too short, revealing his slender waist.
Lu Songli couldn't help but take a look.
Qin Sheng picked up the basin and walked out steadily. Lu Songli could only see his back, strong waist, hips and long legs. Tsk.
He went out to pour the water, and when he came back, he shouted, "Lili, it's so hot in the room, do you feel it?"
He placed his hand on the second button and glanced at his wife. Should he open it a little more? Wouldn't that be a bit too deliberate? Never mind!
Qin Sheng took the opportunity to pull down his collar, revealing his chest.
"Is there?" Lu Songli raised her eyes and saw his half-naked chest, and her hand holding the book paused.
"Yes, it must be the fire that burned too strong."
Qin Sheng began to hang around Lu Songli, asking her if she was thirsty, if the tea was hot, and if she wanted to eat. Finally, he asked her if she was tired, if her shoulders were sore, and if he wanted to massage them.
Of course Lu Songli agreed. He wanted to serve her, so there was no reason for her to refuse, right?
Qin Sheng gave her a good massage on the shoulders.
His technique was quite good. At the Jintaizhuang military camp, the entire army underwent extensive training. Muscles easily became sore, so when the camp was first established, Lü Songli dispatched doctors to teach the soldiers how to massage. The soldiers would massage each other to relax their muscles whenever they had free time. Practice makes perfect, and after a period of practice, Qin Sheng's technique was quite good.
After massaging her shoulders, Qin Sheng suggested, "Lili, you sit and handle official business all day, your waist must be quite sore, right? Come on, let's go to the kang and I'll give you a massage."
Lu Songli readily agreed to his suggestion.
Qin Sheng was secretly happy.
Lu Songli thought to himself, young man, you are asking for trouble.
When Qin Sheng had almost finished massaging and taking off his clothes, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Sheng was holding his wife's hand when he heard a knock on the door and asked quickly, "Who is it?"
"Your mother!"
Hearing his mother's voice, Qin Sheng hurriedly got dressed.
Lu Songli covered her mouth and laughed.
Lv Songli wasn't surprised at all. Qin's mother had been clearly preoccupied lately, even asking her twice when Qin Sheng would be back. Lv Songli guessed she had something to tell Qin Sheng.
When Mother Qin came in, she glanced back and forth between her youngest son and daughter-in-law, wondering if she had come at the wrong time. However, she had just finished her work, and it was still early. Besides, her youngest son had to return to the barracks tomorrow.
Lu Songli remained calm as usual.
Mother Qin looked at her youngest son suspiciously. Her daughter-in-law looked normal, so why was this boy blushing?
"Mom, why are you here?" Qin Sheng's voice was full of resentment. He hadn't been intimate with Lili for a long time.
Lu Songli moved a chair for her and said, "Mom, please sit down. Why are you coming here at this time? Is there something wrong?"
