Ji Muhe burst into tears after reading the letter. She was still angry. "She just left like that, and she even left without saying goodbye. This family really can't accommodate her..."
Jiang Hao was so angry that he couldn't speak. He knew the danger of this incident. He put the letter heavily on the table and the whole room fell silent.
The servants outside didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to make a sound.
…
The common people who were supposed to watch the excitement today did not wait for the sound of gongs and drums. They did not know that the National Master and National Master Jiang Qiao had cancelled their activities. They stood on the street and talked about it.
"What's going on? The General's Mansion is still closed!"
"And there's no news from the Imperial Master either. It's really strange."
"You don't know yet, but I also heard it from my cousin. She works in the Princess's Mansion, and the wedding date between the Imperial Master and Miss Jiang has been postponed."
"What's the reason?"
"How should I know? Things haven't been peaceful lately anyway."
"Could it be that Miss Jiang ran away from her marriage?"
…
As he spoke, a carriage drove up to the general's mansion and stopped in front of the door.
The person who came down was Eunuch Li, holding the imperial edict in his hand.
Jiang Hao came out to greet him, and the emperor granted him permission to stand and receive the decree without kneeling.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Jiang Qiao, the daughter of the General Guarding the Nation, possesses extraordinary talent and wisdom, and is well-suited to assume this important responsibility. I, in compliance with your decree, hereby appoint her as General Ningshuo.
"Now the Southern Qiang Chanyu has led his army to invade, disregarding the grace and loyalty of our Celestial Empire. I cannot bear to see the people suffer their humiliation, so I have sent General Ningshuo to the border to quell the situation. I decree this!"
Although Jiang Hao was extremely reluctant to believe it, he had to step forward to accept the order.
"I accept your order."
After Eunuch Li left, the door of the general's mansion was closed.
Some people were still reluctant to leave as they were shocked by the news from the palace.
"It's actually true?! Our Hanbei Kingdom actually has a female general!"
"The Jiang family's daughter is very powerful."
"I just don't know if we can win this time."
"By the way, there's a girls' school opening in the east of the city. Aunt Mei, have you signed up your daughter Fanghua? I heard the places are limited!"
"Ah? Why haven't I heard of such a good thing? I can't read a single word in my life. I can't let my Fanghua follow in my footsteps. I have to take Fanghua there quickly."
…
In the evening.
Jiang Qiao led the tired soldiers to find a suitable place to rest. Some people sat directly on the ground, while others leaned against trees to rest.
The armor on his body was shining in the light of the fire, and Jiang Qiao put down the sword in his hand.
The journey is long and is expected to take half a month.
The wind blew gently, raising dust and making it blinding.
Some soldiers were packing their bags, checking their weapons and equipment, and making sure everything was ready, while others were sitting together, sharing rations and water.
"General, would you like to try the fish I just grilled?" Shitou held a branch with a roasted fish stuck on it.
He was young and didn't need to come on this expedition, but when Shi Tou heard that Jiang Qiao was leading the team, he begged Lin Bang to take him with him.
Lin Bang liked the energy in Shi Tou and agreed to his request.
Jiang Qiao was still surprised to see Shitou here, "Why did you follow me?"
Shitou held the fish high, as if afraid that Jiang Qiao would scold him, and lowered his head, "I just wanted to come."
Since they were already here, Jiang Qiao couldn't chase him away. She took the grilled fish and said earnestly, "This time is different from last time. The Southern Qiang people are good at fighting and are very fierce. You should stay in the barracks. Since you have such good cooking skills, you should be responsible for cooking for me."
Shitou's eyes lit up. He was delighted by the general's words and readily agreed. "Okay, I'll roast rabbit for you then. It's so delicious."
"Ouch!" Shitou was hit on the head by Lin Bang who suddenly came over, causing him pain. He cried out in surprise, "Who is it?"
Lin Bang snatched the grilled fish from Shitou's other hand and took a big bite. His face was full of enjoyment. While eating, he even teased Shitou a few times, "Shitou, you are so mean. You begged me to bring you here, saying you would work like a slave for me, but now you are giving special treatment to Jiang Qiao alone, right?"
Shitou felt embarrassed and lowered his voice, "Next time, next time, do your part."
…
Half a month later.
Jiang Qiao led an army of 100,000 and finally arrived at the border and set up camp here.
It was already night.
Eighty miles away, under the veil of night, the Southern Qiang military camp was utterly silent. Flags fluttered gently in the wind from the towering fences surrounding the camp, as if to signal the strict security. Brightly lit tents were arranged in a staggered pattern, exuding a solemn atmosphere.
——
In Beijing, everything proceeds step by step.
The Yan family has been neglected by the emperor recently. Yan Liangren knows the reason. The disappearance of family members in the palace is not a shameful thing, and it damages the reputation of the royal family.
If he keeps bringing this up, the Yan family might just have to stop here.
The royal family's reputation is more important than anything else. For the prosperity of the Yan family, Yan Liangren had to be forced to give up Yan Qingli.
Jiang Hao hadn't attended the morning court for more than half a month. The emperor agreed and sent a lot of condolences to the general's mansion.
Ji Muhe was worried all day long until she received a letter from home sent by express horse from the border. It was written by Jiang Qiao, and most of the things in it were about trivial matters. She tried her best to make it interesting, which was a comfort to Ji Muhe.
at the same time.
Fu Yanci also got the handwritten letter.
Jiang Qiao wrote about his thoughts and unexpectedly added a few love poems, which were very literary.
Fu Yanci thought he would be very happy, but he was not. He was the only one among everyone who knew her ending.
For the sake of national justice, Jiang Qiao will definitely choose this...
