Chapter 23: Prepare in Advance

Study.

Qiao Chushan prepared writing brushes and ink.

Qiao Niannian was tangled.

She was proficient in metaphysics, but there was a drawback, that is, she could not clearly predict the disasters of people who were related to her, and could only vaguely see some problems.

In addition, she was bound by the plot. She could not speak out any plot written by the author. This rule was only limited to relatives and had no effect on outsiders.

But what she wanted to change was her own cannon fodder life.

[Hey, how can I let my father know that my second uncle is not a good person! ]

Qiao Chushan raised his eyes and pretended to speak casually.

"Niannian, I have a question in my heart, and I don’t know how to say it. Father can only talk to you."

Qiao Niannian raised her eyes and looked over.

Qiao Chushan sighed: "I feel strange that your elder sister was punished today. That necklace looks expensive, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it's a barbarian item. Your elder sister can't buy it even if she has money."

Qiao Niannian's alarm bells rang.

[What do you mean, Dad feels that he has wronged Qiao Yueying? Want to clear Qiao Yueying's name? ]

Qiao Chushan had a heart attack.

Why can't this daughter think of him in a good way

? Is he the kind of person who feels sorry for other people's daughters?

This other person's daughter killed his whole family.

Afraid that his daughter would continue to misunderstand, Qiao Chushan simply spoke up.

"I always think this is strange. Your eldest sister suddenly got something from the barbarians, and your second uncle happened to come back. I think this may be related to your second uncle."

Qiao Niannian nodded.

[Dad finally has a brain, okay, okay, please continue.]

"So, I plan to write two letters, one letter to your second uncle, and the other letter to the guard to take to your eldest brother, what do you think?"

Qiao Niannian's eyes lit up.

[Of course it's okay, it's best to remind your eldest brother to be careful of the people around him.]

[The barbarians knew that they couldn't beat the eldest brother, so they bribed the people around the eldest brother and spent a lot of money. Those people had never seen so many good things in their lives, so they were naturally tempted. 】

【My eldest brother was a man of steel, a young hero, who risked his life to protect his country and was fine, but in the end he couldn't escape the hands of his own people who he protected. It was so sad.】

Qiao Chushan's eyes turned red when he heard this.

His eldest son had the world in his heart, but in the end he was killed by a few villains. He hated them so much that he wanted to cut the people who killed his son into pieces.

In order to prevent his daughter from noticing, Qiao Chushan lowered his head quickly and forced down his red eyes.

Qiao Niannian thought her father was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. No parent would be worried if their son went to the battlefield.

【Stopped the eldest brother can only guarantee his safety for a while, what is more important is food and fodder. 】

【The last batch of grain was sold to the barbarians by my second uncle. This time, my second uncle personally led the charge and delivered it directly to the barbarians' territory. 】

【If the grain problem is not solved, even if my eldest brother does not die on the battlefield, he will lose the battle due to lack of ammunition and food, and will still die in the end. 】

Qiao Chushan almost broke the brush in his hand.

He thought about countermeasures.

If he wanted to stop Qiao Chufeng from selling grain to the barbarians, he needed to know where they traded. It was not impossible to make arrangements in advance and snatch back the grain.

"Niannian, the barbarians stole our food last time, causing your eldest brother and the others to go hungry. I wonder if something bad will happen again this time! I don't know where the barbarians will attack."

Qiao Niannian sighed.

[This time, when Second Uncle escorted the food out of the official road, he deliberately took a detour with his men and passed through the Cliff Valley, which was sandwiched between two mountains. The barbarians received intelligence from Second Uncle in advance and had already ambushed on both sides. They just waited for the carriages to pass by, and then pushed down the rocks. In the end, they stole the food without any soldiers. ]

[In fact, this matter is also very simple. You can replace the food and transport it by water, slow down the land transportation, and set up a trap before entering the Cliff Valley to lure those people into the trap and catch them off guard. 】

"Okay."

Qiao Chushan couldn't help but cheered when he heard his daughter's plan.

This sudden shout almost shook Qiao Niannian off the stool and fell to the ground.

She raised her head blankly and looked at her father who suddenly went crazy in confusion.

Qiao Chushan didn't bother to explain to his daughter at all, and said hurriedly: "Well, daughter, you go back and rest first. Didn't you sleep well yesterday because you accompanied the tenth princess? There's no rush to write this letter. Dad has something to go to the palace. Let's talk about it when I come back." After

that, he pushed Qiao Niannian out of the door, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went into the palace.

Qiao Niannian returned to Huo's room with a dazed look on her face. She told her that her father had gone to the palace, and Huo didn't care.

Qiao Niannian suddenly said "Huh".

Something is wrong!

My eldest brother was destined to die early, so the positions of the children's palace on my mother and father's faces were obviously much darker.

This indicates that my eldest brother has this disaster in his life.

But now she sees that my mother's children's palace has a glimmer of hope.

What happened in just a short while?

Mrs. Huo was stared at by her daughter for a while, and she touched her face in some surprise.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Qiao Niannian nodded: "Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..."

[Haha, here we go again.]

[I can't say anything about my eldest brother. Hey! What happened just now that I don't know about? My eldest brother's death disaster actually has a chance of survival. What is going on?]

Qiao Niannian pinched her fingers and counted for a while, but she didn't calculate anything.

Mrs. Huo knew that her daughter could predict the future, but she never thought that she could also tell fortunes. This is too amazing.

However, when his daughter said that his eldest son had a chance to survive, Huo's tense heart relaxed a little.

He didn't ask for anything to happen to his son, he just wanted him to be alive. As long as he was alive, that was enough!

Two days passed.

Qiao Chushan has not come back yet, but he has already notified the Huo family that they will be busy these days.

The second is Qiao Beichen, who said he went to the academy, but the academy came and said that Qiao Beichen had not been to the academy for more than ten days.

The Huo family was furious.

They called the servants in the mansion: "No matter what you do today, you must bring the Third Young Master back to me. If you can't bring him back, don't come back."

The servants saw that the lady was angry, so they dared not say anything and immediately responded and left.

Qiao Niannian was meditating in the room, and a white crane folded with white paper flew in from the window.

Qiao Niannian opened her eyes, waved her hand, and the white crane fell into her hand. The next moment, Wang Xuanzhi's voice came out.

"Master Qiao, please come to Mingpinzhai to meet me."

Qiao Niannian happened to have something to ask him, so she got up and went to Mrs. Huo's yard.

When she walked into Qingfeng Garden, she found that the atmosphere was not right. Qiao Niannian asked the maid and found out that it was the third brother who did it.

After entering the room, Qiao Niannian comforted Mrs. Huo and successfully made her mother laugh, then she found an excuse.

"Mother, the servants may not bring the third brother back even if they go to find him. It's better for me to go myself. I will definitely find a way to bring the third brother back."

[Mother, I didn't mean to lie to you. It was mainly because I wanted to find the warden to get something to keep my eldest brother safe, but I couldn't let you know that I knew the warden. ]

[Fortunately, the third brother is not reasonable, which makes it convenient for me. ]

Mrs. Huo didn't want to agree at first, but when she heard her daughter's voice, she was numb.

Warden?

What supervisor?

Is it the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor that she was thinking of?

But this supervisor is very knowledgeable in Taoism, and he is like a dragon that can only be seen from the beginning but not the end. He does not give face to anyone except the emperor. Many people rushed to curry favor with him, but they could not even see him.

Her daughter knows this important person?

Mrs. Huo thought that her daughter can also read faces and tell fortunes, and can even predict the future. Could it be that her daughter also understands Taoism?

Thinking that Qiao Niannian also wanted to help her elder brother, Mrs. Huo agreed, but she also arranged for Shi Liu to protect Qiao Niannian's safety.

The two of them left the house and went straight to the teahouse where the supervisor had agreed to meet.
