Chapter 101: Run Away
Footsteps were heard from the room.
Mo Qiao opened the door from inside.
After seeing An Yunxi, she lowered her head and said politely, "Miss, you came to see me so late, is there something wrong?"
An Yunxi walked into the room and closed the door.
"Of course there is something."
She sat on a chair in the room without being polite. "Miss Mo, I came to see you because I want to make a deal with you."
Slowly raising the corners of her lips, An Yunxi's eyes were filled with a faint smile.
Mo Qiao's face was pale, and her fingers were quietly clenched into fists.
"If you want me to do something, just say it directly. There's no need to use the word transaction."
An Yunxi couldn't help but smile, but she didn't argue: "Well, I'll say it directly. Miss Mo wants to become a female general, right? I'll give you this opportunity now."
Mo Qiao was stunned and couldn't help but look up at An Yunxi.
But the next moment, she smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, don't make fun of me. I can't even enter the military camp now. How can I become a female general?" "
Every one of the prince's subordinates is a well-known general in the border. I just want to ask if you are willing to follow them?"
Mo Qiao was shocked.
"Miss, do you want to transfer me to the border battlefield?"
"Are you scared?"
Mo Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and her mood was extremely entangled.
If you go to the border, you can accumulate military merits at the fastest speed.
But if you don't handle it well, you will die.
And how could An Yunxi be so kind?
Mo Qiao didn't believe An Yunxi: "The eldest lady may not allow me to stay in the general's mansion, so she said such a thing."
An Yunxi did not hide her purpose at all.
"You are right, I don't want you to stay in the general's mansion. I don't deny that you do have talent in this area. Instead of being a woman in the back house who needs to be served by others in the general's mansion, you might as well work hard to achieve your dream. Am I wrong?"
Mo Qiao raised his eyes, his mood was extremely complicated.
"But if I go to the battlefield, I will never see Brother An again, and I may even die outside."
An Yunxi nodded lightly.
"So I want you to make a decision. Do you want to go to the border and become a real female general, or stay here and live your life like an ordinary woman?
After the funeral, my elder and second brothers will return to the barracks. You two may not be able to see each other for a month.
Besides, my father just died. According to the laws of Beiling Country, we, as children, must observe mourning for at least three years and not get married. Do you plan to wait like this?"
An Qing is not her father anyway, so An Yunxi doesn't plan to observe mourning.
"I"
Mo Qiao hesitated.
Three years, if she does nothing and lives in the general's mansion waiting for him for three years before marrying him, by then she will be old and ugly, and have nothing.
And An Yunqing is only in his twenties, at the time of his youth and beauty, will he still be interested in her who has been smoothed out by the inner chamber?
She was not sure.
It was very likely that she would lose everything at that time, and she would not even be able to be An Yunqing's wife!
An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips.
"Don't worry, I still value talents like you. I will give you a handwritten letter from the prince. With this letter, no one in the barracks will dare to look down on you as a woman."
"How can I believe the words of the eldest lady? If the eldest lady wants to deceive me, I'm afraid I will die as soon as I reach the border."
She was not stupid, and knew that this might be a trap.
An Yunxi raised the corners of her lips, "Tomorrow the prince will issue an imperial edict and send a team of people to escort you to the border. You will be an upright female general and you don't have to hide your gender identity anymore."
The two words "imperial edict" completely moved Mo Qiao's heart.
Her breathing became a little faster, and her eyes brightened.
Mo Qiao's ambition was growing.
Compared to being An Yunqing's wife, she would rather be respected by thousands of people as an honest lady in the inner house.
And she also believed that she had the ability!
As long as she got the imperial edict, the dream of a female general would come true.
"What do I need to do?"
An Yunxi said very straightforwardly: "Be yourself."
Mo Qiao's eyes instantly turned red when she heard it.
The corners of her lips trembled, and her expression was a little reluctant.
"Miss, if I choose not to leave, what will you do to me?"
When she said this, her tone was a little more trembling with fear.
An Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Her elder brother An Yunqing was outside the door at this time .
Was he discovered?
This Mo Qiao is really cautious.
An Yunxi lowered her eyes slightly and said lightly.
"Since you don't want to leave, then stay. I won't do anything to you."
She lowered her eyes slightly and clenched her fingers a little tighter: "Miss, you came here in the middle of the night, didn't you want me to leave?"
An Yunxi shook her head.
"It won't hurt me if you don't leave."
After all, An Yunqing was not at home, and they were in the general's mansion, so they could afford to keep an idle person.
Mo Qiao glanced at the door quietly. Under the moonlight, a shadow flashed on the door by chance.
She knew it was Brother An.
He must be worried that he would be bullied by An Yunxi, so he came to her door in the middle of the night to protect her secretly.
If she agreed to An Yunxi's proposal directly, she would appear to be too heartless and ungrateful, abandoning the relationship between the two of them for such a long time just for a little good place to go.
So even if she wanted to accept the imperial edict and become a female general, she must not say it like this.
She wanted the status of a female general and An Yunqing!
An Yunxi seemed to see through those eyes and clearly saw the extremely strong ambition and desire of this woman, Mo Qiao.
She lowered her eyes.
Such ambition would sooner or later harm herself.
"Mo Qiao, you can't have your cake and eat it too."
Mo Qiao slowly raised his eyes, looked at An Yunxi, and bit his lip lightly.
After a moment, she said, "I am not worthy of Brother An at all now. I will be worthy of being his wife only after I become a real female general and have military merits!"
An Yunxi sneered.
The other party was calculating so much that the abacus beads were about to jump onto her face.
"Is this your decision?"
Mo Qiao nodded with difficulty.
At this moment, a figure outside the door pushed the door open.
It was impossible to tell what expression was on An Yunqing's face, or even that there was no expression on her face .
"Brother An!"
Mo Qiao looked surprised.
It was as if he didn't know that he had been standing outside the door for a long time.
But An Yunxi didn't pretend. She didn't even raise her head, but said.
"Brother, this is her own choice. I didn't force her."
