The corner of Tian Zhifu's mouth twitched twice, he cursed inwardly, turned around with a smile and pulled Tian Qiaoqiao's arm.
"Alright, now that you've paid your respects, get back to the front and supervise the work. Don't delay the important road construction."
If he wasn't afraid that his daughter would sneak out of the city and disturb Prince Yongchang, he wouldn't have brought her to build the road.
When Prince Yongchang and his entourage went to Pingliang City, Tian Qiaoqiao had already come to repair the road for several days.
Originally, when Prince Yongchang came back, he was planning to lock up the dead girl, but he was afraid that his servants could not keep her, so it would be better to keep her by his side.
Who knew I would meet General Long...
"Hey, Dad, don't pull me, I have something important to report."
Tian Qiaoqiao looked at Magistrate Tian speechlessly.
It's true that she likes Prince Yongchang, but she's not so presumptuous as to cause trouble for General Long.
She didn't know General Long, but she had a very clear understanding of the Lin family army during this period.
The women in the Lin family army are even more manly than the men, and the men can use them as if they were ten men.
She didn't dare to cause trouble for General Long, who was able to manage the Lin family army so well.
"What's going on?!"
Magistrate Tian looked at Tian Qiaoqiao in confusion.
Tian Qiaoqiao shook off the hand of Tian Zhifu.
"I have to talk to General Long about this, not you."
When Magistrate Tian heard this, he became even more anxious and reached out to pull Tian Qiaoqiao.
"What can you do..."
Lin Yiran looked at the father and daughter fighting back and forth, which attracted the curious gazes of the people around them. She quickly interrupted the words of the prefect Tian.
"Master Tian, please let her come over."
She was also very curious about what Tian Qiaoqiao could say to her.
When Old Madam Xiao saw Tian Qiaoqiao coming, her face immediately darkened.
There has never been a precedent of taking concubines in the Xiao family for generations, and she does not allow her son to take a concubine.
If her husband took a concubine, she would kill them with a knife.
What kind of thing? Which daughter from a good family would be willing to be someone's concubine?
She doesn't like girls who have fallen into depravity.
When Prefect Tian heard Lin Yiran's words, he was slightly stunned.
Fortunately, his back was facing Lin Yiran. He quickly gave Tian Qiaoqiao a look to tell her not to talk nonsense, and took the opportunity to squeeze the hand that was holding her arm hard.
You silly girl, don't cause trouble for him at the critical moment.
He had a premonition that Xiao Yunzhan would be the one who would ascend to the throne in the future.
At least he can get the credit for following the emperor, and promotion and honor to his family are just around the corner.
General Long is the future queen. How can anyone interfere with the relationship between the founding couple?
He would never allow his daughter to set this precedent and anger General Long.
If Xiao Yunzhan expands his harem in the future, he will not stop his daughter from running for the position, but it is definitely not possible now.
The issue of taking a concubine had already arisen before he ascended the throne, which was not conducive to Xiao Yunzhan's rebellion.
Tian Qiaoqiao speechlessly pushed away the hand of Tian Zhifu.
"Dad, General Long is calling me."
As for why she was so wary of her, it was true that she liked Xiao Yunzhan, but it wasn't to the extent of doing something in broad daylight in front of so many people.
Tian Qiaoqiao walked up to Lin Yiran under the anxious gaze of Prefect Tian.
As is customary for martial artists, she clasped her hands together and bowed to Lin Yiran.
"Your humble servant greets General Long and General Tiance."
Old Madam Xiao glanced at Tian Qiaoqiao indifferently, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lin Yiran nodded gently.
"What do you want to report?"
Magistrate Tian took a deep breath, took a step forward, clenched his fists, and stared at Tian Qiaoqiao nervously.
Tian Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked at Lin Yiran, pursing her lips and smiling.
"General Huilong, there's a group of children two kilometers away who claim to be seeking refuge with General Ling Yan."
"Oh, I guess we've almost walked half the distance now."
The children looked very tired, their steps were so heavy that they could hardly lift their legs, so she ran back to report first.
I originally wanted to ask her father how the arrangements were made, but unexpectedly I ran into General Long and General Tian Ce.
"A group of children?"
Lin Yiran widened her eyes in surprise, turned her head and looked at Madam Xiao.
"Could it be the group of Boy Scouts led by Ling Yan?"
Madam Xiao frowned and said, "It should be."
She had even gone to see the group of Boy Scouts led by Ling Yan, and they looked pretty authentic.
When they left Pingliang City for Shuitian City, the group of scouts and their families stayed in Pingliang City, and the children cried all the way to the city gate.
Ling Yan and Ling Hui were depressed for quite some time after arriving in Shuitian City.
These two little girls are having a great time teaching Shang Lu recently.
"Boy Scout!?" Prefect Tian looked at Lin Yiran in surprise.
No way, even children were captured to serve as soldiers?
It is normal for adult men to serve in the army, and it is also acceptable for adult women to serve in the army in times of war. But why are children being involved as well?
