Jiang Baoer suddenly said, "If mother had woken up at that time, it would be the three of us who were sold."
Jiang Zhen'er shuddered, she also remembered that her grandmother and the two aunts had discussed selling the three sisters.
Jiang Jiuyue touched Jiang Yuer's head, then looked at Jiang Zhener and Jiang Baoer, "Do you want to save Liang Xianger?"
Jiang Baoer was the first to shake her head. "You want to save them. They bullied me and her and almost killed her. The Liang family's affairs should have nothing to do with you. Why are you rushing to save the Liang family?"
Jiang Zhen'er also shook her head. She was much braver now and no longer dared to express her own ideas like before.
Jiang Yuer thought again and again, then looked up at Jiang Jiuyue, "Mom, will she die?"
Jiang Jiuyue shook her head, "No, she was just sold to do labor, she will die."
Jiang Yuer looked more relaxed. "Grandma and the others sold Sister Xiang'er. We should take care of it."
Jiang Jiuyue smiled. She was right. Although these three girls were weak, they still had sympathy for the Liang family.
Since all three daughters wanted to save Liang Xiang'er, Jiang Jiuyue put the matter behind her and didn't care at all.
In a few days we will leave for the capital, and I'm afraid we will never come back.
*
After dealing with the affairs of Shuhe County, Jiang Jiuyue returned to the capital with her three daughters.
Since Mrs. Cao and Ms. Ye Ruyun were already alone, they simply followed them back to the capital.
When we returned to the capital, the Chu Palace's mansion had been completely completed.
But before Jiang Jiuyue had time to rest, the palace sent a eunuch to rush over.
"Eunuch Liu is in such a hurry, what's the matter with the Emperor?"
Eunuch Liu is the eunuch beside Qi Ji. He came in such a hurry, it must be something urgent for Qi Ji.
"Your Highness, urgent news from the border: the Mobei army is approaching, and General Zhenyuan has been captured alive. The emperor is extremely worried."
Jiang Jiuyue frowned, "The Mobei army is approaching?"
Eunuch Liu nodded, "Yes, Mobei took advantage of the turmoil in our court to invade us on a large scale, losing two cities on the border, and General Zhenyuan was also captured."
It seemed that the situation was quite serious. Jiang Jiuyue did not even have time to change her clothes before following Eunuch Liu into the palace.
As soon as I entered the imperial study, I heard Qi Ji getting angry at someone.
"The border is in danger! We have already lost two cities in succession! Tell me, is there no one available in the court? In such a huge capital, there is no one who can go to the border to defend against the enemy?!"
"General Zhenyuan was captured alive. Now the border is leaderless, and Mobei is eyeing us covetously! Even if you die, you must find someone useful for me!"
Eunuch Liu pushed the door open quickly, and then Qi Ji's voice was heard, "Let the King of Chu in!"
Jiang Jiuyue walked in after hearing the sound, and Qi Ji's face relaxed a little when he saw her coming.
"You heard it, right? In such a huge court, there is not a single general who can go to the border to defend against the enemy!"
Jiang Jiuyue glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. She really couldn't understand, with so many generals in the court, why was there no one who could go to the border?
"Minister of War, tell me, there are few generals in the court. General Weiyuan, General Fuyuan, Marquis Wuchang, etc. I remember that they are all first-class generals. How come none of them can go to the border? What is the hidden story behind this?"
Being called upon to answer, the Minister of War could only bite the bullet and speak, "As His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows, General Weiyuan has retired to his hometown a few days ago. Now that General Weiyuan has passed through the battlefield, handing over such a big task to you, I'm afraid there will be big problems!"
Jiang Jiuyue gestured for him to continue, Weiyuan is ok, what about Fuyuan?
"General Fuyuan's old illness has relapsed. He has been recuperating at home for more than half a month. Now he can't even leave the room. How can he go to the border?"
"As for the Marquis of Wuchang, this title is hereditary, and he has never been on the battlefield!"
After hearing these words, Jiang Jiuyue also felt that Qi Ji should be angry.
There were so many military commanders in the court, all of whom were receiving salaries from the court, but at the critical moment, none of them relied on the emperor.
"The Minister of War knows so much about the military commanders in the court, so he should be able to think of candidates for the battlefield, right?"
Hearing this, the Minister of War secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, groaning in pain, if he could have thought of it, would he have to kneel here?
Qi Ji glared at the Minister of War, then looked at Jiang Jiuyue, "King of Chu, what do you think about this? Who in the court can take on this important task?"
Jiang Jiuyue thought about it. She knew a lot about the generals in the court. She knew that several of them had been rejected by the Minister of War. Some of them were old or injured, and no one was counted on.
Qi Ji also knew that no one could count on him, and he was getting anxious, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the most suitable candidate.
The Minister of War and others were dismissed, and even the eunuchs were kicked out of the door, leaving only Qi Ji and Jiang Jiuyue in the imperial study.
Jiang Jiuyue looked at 놛 with sidelong glances, feeling that this guy was holding his fart.
"If so, you will lead the army to fight for me? With your ability, you will definitely be able to defeat Mobei and recapture the city."
Jiang Jiuyue gritted her teeth and glared at 놛, "놖 led the army for you? Why can 놊 lead the army in person while 놖 stays in the capital to guard the rear for you?"
Qi Ji smiled flatteringly, "You are much more capable than me. How can you lead the troops to the battle when the emperor leads the army in person?"
Jiang Jiuyue was speechless. This man was so brave and resourceful when he was planning to seize the throne, and now he is trying to show off his own abilities.
Seeing that she did not agree, Qi Ji had to make the next best choice, "Let Qi Lin go with you. The two princes will go together and will surely shock Mobei."
Jiang Jiuyue was speechless, "What's the point of your brother going with you? I still have to protect him."
Qi Jixi said happily, "If you agree, then I will draft an imperial decree right away! Confer you the title of Prince of the State! You can command the troops at your will!"
Jiang Jiuyue took a deep breath, gave him a blank look, then turned and left.
She just came back and she has to go to the border again. Is this going to make things difficult for her? !
Leading troops to war requires riding a horse, which is more tiring than riding in a car. Jiang Jiuyue gritted her teeth and thought, she must capture the King of Mobei alive and torture this ignorant foreigner to death!
Because of the urgent battle at the border, Jiang Jiuyue set out with his troops and food three days later.
She has a lot of soldiers and horses with her, so as long as she arrives at the border, she can dispatch the troops there.
Qi Ji finally did not let Qi Lin follow Jiang Jiuyue to the border, mainly because Jiang Jiuyue did not agree. She thought it was troublesome to bring Qi Lin with her and would hold her back.
Jiang Jiuyue rode a horse and led his troops to the border, working day and night. It took about ten days to reach the border.
This place was not originally a place for border garrison, but Mobei occupied two border cities and the army was forced to retreat here.
Now he has the highest military rank in the army, and is the deputy general of General Zhenyuan. When he heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was personally leading the army and had already arrived outside the city, he immediately rushed out.
It's just that the deputy general was dumbfounded when he saw the woman riding on the horse, and the court didn't say that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was a woman!
