Chapter 208: Raising an Army to Attack the Enemy
Shen Xuelan had just woken up from her coma when she heard that the Lin family father and son were going to the battlefield. She was so shocked that she ran out of the door despite her weak body. At
that time, Lin Qiming and Lin Mobai were already ready to go, riding on fine horses, wearing light red armor, and looking very imposing.
Ying Rushi was also among them, following behind them, holding a long sword and remaining silent.
"Husband." Shen Xuelan, who had rushed over in a hurry, saw this scene and almost shed tears.
Qinglian told her everything that happened during her coma, which made her scared and afraid that Lin Qiming and Lin Mobai would never come back.
But as Lin Qiming said, their Lin family has been generals for generations. If they don't go, I'm afraid no one will go.
She understood, but...
Lin Qiming got off the horse, and in a few strides, he came to Shen Xuelan. After wiping her tears, he hugged her in his arms.
Lin Qiming gently stroked her back, his tone firm and gentle, "Don't worry, this trip is the honor of our Lin family, we will definitely return victorious."
Shen Xuelan nodded while holding back tears, then swallowed and threw herself into her arms.
On the other side, Song Qingqing was the same. Looking at the young man in red light armor on the horse, she wanted to say something several times but stopped herself. Finally, she walked slowly and handed a peace blessing with exquisite stitches to his hand, raised her head and whispered, "Return safely."
All the worries turned into these four words, containing a lot of emotions.
Lin Mobai held Ping An Fu in his hand, nodded heavily at Song Qingqing, and said firmly, "I will!"
Then he pulled off a jade pendant from his waist, broke it in two, gave her one half, and smiled, "Wait for me to come back."
Song Qingqing naturally knew what this meant. She curled her fingers and solemnly took the half of the jade pendant. Her eyes were red and her voice was trembling, "Okay."
Lin Baoer looked at this scene and began to feel sad unconsciously. She stuffed a large package full of things to Lin Mobai and said sadly, "Second brother, be careful about everything, put your own safety first, take good care of dad, and send a letter back if you need anything. My third brother and I will send you supplies in time."
Lin Ruqian nodded quickly with red eyes, "Second brother, if you are short of money, just tell me!"
"Okay." Lin Mobai smiled lightly, "Don't worry, don't you know your second brother's ability? Nothing will happen."
"If the enemy attacks, we will beat him without leaving a single piece of armor!"
The young man was full of vigor and energy, very dazzling.
...
After that, the emperor fell ill and the prince took over the country. The father and son of the Lin family rushed to the border to guard the last ten cities and fight with the enemy.
The city of Yanjing was in constant dispute over the war, but it was suppressed by the prince and the Minister of Revenue Lin Qiming, and returned to peace.
At the same time, Lin Ruqian and Lin Baoer kept selling their industries to continue to replenish supplies to the border so that the soldiers at the border would not have any worries.
Shen Ruyu was imprisoned and beheaded on a chosen day, but the third prince Song Chu was nowhere to be seen.
Just like this, a year passed.
It was another birthday, but the Lin Mansion was not as festive as in previous years. The whole mansion was very deserted.
Shangchun Garden.
Lin Baoer looked at the two intertwined snake shadows on the edge of the wall and sighed deeply.
"When will you two stop being so disgusting!" She muttered, and simply turned her butt in another direction, with her back to them.
Since the palace coup a year ago, the emperor no longer kept her in the palace and let her go back to the Lin Mansion. His suspicions about the prince and the Lin Mansion disappeared. He entrusted her with important tasks and even directly delegated power to the prince, showing a tendency to abdicate.
After that, the prince had great power and was assisted by many important officials in the court. He was able to stand alone and, together with Lin Zhiyu, managed the internal affairs of the Great Yan
Kingdom in an orderly manner. Unfortunately, the external chaos continued. During this year, although Lin Qiming and Lin Mobai led their troops to repel the Qi Kingdom many times and recaptured ten cities of the Great Yan Kingdom, they were unable to force the Qi Kingdom to withdraw and repel it in one fell swoop due to insufficient military strength, so they stayed at the border to confront the Qi Kingdom.
Lin Baoer hadn't seen them for a year.
Thinking of this, Lin Baoer sighed again.
Since Lin Ruqian used most of her wealth to fill the national treasury, she began to travel around the country to do business and make money like crazy. She has not been home many times in this year, so on weekdays, only she and Shen Xuelan are in the Lin Mansion, which is very deserted.
Before, Shen Xuelan was worried about the comfort of Lin Qiming and Lin Mobai, so she lived in the Frost Temple to pray for them, and rarely returned to the Lin Mansion. In
this way, only Lin Baoer was left in the Lin Mansion, which made her depressed.
She wanted to go to Ying Jinyi to play, but since Ying Rushi followed Lin Qiming and his son to the border, Ying Jinyi seemed to have suddenly woken up, started to get angry, and directly stayed indoors.
As a princess, Song Qingqing didn't have so many things to do, but she was very polite. It was impossible to drag her to do something outrageous, and she would never go to those places of prostitution, so Lin Baoer could only occasionally go to Ronghe Mansion to sit and talk with her about the past and the border. Nothing else would be boring.
As for Chu Jingchen, she had become closer to Lin Zhiyu during this period. Almost everyone in Yanjing City knew about their relationship. The Lin and Chu families becoming relatives was a done deal, but it had been delayed because of the war in the Great Yan Kingdom.
And every time Lin Zhiyu had a day off, the two would go on a date. The little couple was very affectionate, and Lin Baoer naturally didn't want to be the third wheel.
Sun Zice also stood out in the Spring Examination and became the new top scholar. He was in the limelight and flirted with Wei Zhixu, making others envious.
"Miss, be careful of getting cold."
Qinglian took a cloak and put it on Lin Baoer.
Because Lin Baoer didn't want to go to Hanshuang Temple, Shen Xuelan left Qinglian to take care of her.
"No problem." Lin Baoer shook her head, and after tugging at the cloak, she asked, "Did Daddy and Second Brother write to you?"
Qinglian shook her head, "No."
Lin Baoer lowered her head in frustration.
She didn't know if her medicines worked, and whether Daddy and Second Brother were injured. She
spent almost all of her money on those medicines at the time, just in case Lin Qiming and Lin Mobai were injured at the border.
"Miss, are you really not celebrating your birthday this year?" Qinglian couldn't help but ask, "Madam is also thinking about you and the second young master. Because Master Taiqing, who had been away for a long time, suddenly returned to the temple, she temporarily decided not to return. Miss, please don't blame her for this."
"I know." Lin Baoer looked at the horizon with melancholy, shaking her head, "Birthdays are just like that, it doesn't matter whether you celebrate it or not, and it saves you the trouble, so I naturally won't blame my mother for it."
"Then why don't I go make a bowl of longevity noodles for the young lady?"
Qinglian was embarrassed, "If I don't do anything, the lady will inevitably blame me when she comes back."
