Chapter 242: Expedition



"Okay, that's good."

Jiang Li raised her hand to help Xue Rou calm down.

"Of course this is for his own good, but mother, have you ever thought about this? This is just your plan, not Fifth Brother's."

"Before Mother found me, Fifth Brother was worried about you being alone in the capital, so he acted like a playboy and stayed with you in the capital for so many years. But do you know? Fifth Brother's martial arts are amazing, but he never shows off in front of others. He said that a real man should fight for his country."

Xue Rou looked at Jiang Li with tears in her eyes, "Li'er, are you saying that mother was wrong?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "Of course you're right, Mom. But Fifth Brother is also right. It's just that he can't wait any longer."

"Can't wait?"

Thinking of what An Wanqiu said, Jiang Li smiled, "Fifth Brother can't wait to find you a daughter-in-law."

Having said this, Xue Rou's tears completely stopped.

Instead, he asked in surprise: "Daughter-in-law? Where is she? Is it true?"

When it comes to her daughter-in-law, Xue Rou will stop crying.

"Then you can ask Fifth Brother carefully, and I will call him over for you."

///

Half a month later.

At the gate of the capital city.

After a horn sounded, several gongs and drums followed.

At the city gate, the emperor and the empress stood on a high platform, followed by civil and military officials.

Outside the city gate, the soldiers were already wearing their helmets and armor, ready to set off.

"Soldiers of Daning!"

The emperor held a wine cup in his hand and said, "Today, I, along with the people of Daning, will practice for you!"

"May your expedition this time crush the enemy's arrogance and enhance the might of our Great Ning!"

"When you return to the capital, I will celebrate your success!"

After saying this, the emperor raised his hand and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Defeat the enemy's arrogance and enhance our great power!"

"Defeat the enemy's arrogance and enhance our great power!"

"Defeat the enemy's arrogance and enhance our great power!"

After several shouts, the drums beat louder.

When the horn sounded again, Gu Qingchen, who was leading the troops, glanced at the most beautiful figure at the city gate from afar.

The woman's whisper from last night was in my ears.

"I look forward to your return, I wait for your return. I do not seek wealth and honor in this life, I only wish to hold your hand and indulge in the mountains and rivers."

Jiang Li looked at the man in white armor on the warhorse and whispered, "Gu Qingchen, the ending has changed. You must return safely."

"Set off!"

Jiang Yao took one last look at his wife and daughter, then exchanged glances with Gu Qingchen before raising his arms and shouting.

The two armies set out together and only separated when they reached the post station outside the capital.

The Jiang family brothers have been on the battlefield many times in recent years and have already made sufficient mental preparations for this war.

Therefore, there is no psychological burden. Instead, we chat and laugh to ease the feeling of reluctance.

"Second brother, why didn't my sister-in-law come to see you off this morning?"

Jiang Zhong was the most talkative person. He originally wanted to talk to the prince's brother-in-law next to him, but when he saw his expression, he turned around and directed the topic to Jiang Lao Er.

Jiang Zhou glanced at him and said, "Don't mention it. Your sister-in-law cried for half the night last night. She cried even more than our mother."

"I had a headache this morning, so I refused to let her take me home. But..."

"Look, she made me a peace locket with her own hands." Jiang Zhou shook his wrist casually. "Women are timid. They say they are not worried, but they are always worried in their hearts."

Jiang Zhong snorted lightly, "Okay, you're just showing off here."

"What about you, Old Four?"

Jiang Maoshan reached for his neck and asked, "Do you see what this is?"

"What?"

Jiang Maoshan looked at Jiang Zhong with disdain, "Jia'er asked me for this amulet!"

"(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tsk~~" Jiang Yao couldn't bear to see his son's expression. "Look at you guys, you're such a loser. Who doesn't have a partner?"

Jiang Yao pointed at his sword and said, "See the necklace on it? Your mother made it for me!"

"You little bastards, don't you have any?!"

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Yao was halfway laughing when he saw his sons all take out their swords, each with a necklace hanging on it that looked exactly like his.

"snort!"

Jiang Yao stopped smiling, squeezed his legs against his horse, and dodged those nasty brats.

"Xiaowu, what are you thinking about?"

As the army marched, Boss Jiang glanced at Jiang Mubai, who was joining the army for the first time, and did not miss the gloom in the other's eyes.

Jiang Mubai shook his head, "It's okay."

Sure enough, she didn't come.

He looked carefully at the crowd at that time, and she was not among them.

"Okay, don't overthink it. We'll separate after we get over the hill ahead. Hey, what's that?"

Boss Jiang held his hand straight, and everyone looked over.

A carriage was parked at the pavilion on the hill, and a woman in red was standing next to the carriage.

"Princess, the army is coming."

Miaomiao pointed in the direction of the army, and Gu Yuyan grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands.

"It's the Ninth Princess!"

As the army advanced, Boss Jiang was the first to call out.

Gu Qingchen turned his head and saw that it was indeed that girl.

Thinking of what Jiang Li had told him before, Gu Qingchen looked at Jiang Mubai and said, "Go quickly and come back soon."

With the prince's order in mind, Jiang Mubai didn't care about anything else and immediately rode away.

"This kid!" Jiang Yao spat inwardly, "He's really lucky!"

That day, I heard from my wife that he joined the army this time in order to make meritorious deeds and then ask the emperor to marry the princess.

He said that even if he wanted to be a prince consort, he couldn't be a playboy.

(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tsk~~ It’s not like I inherited this temper from anyone.
