"What? When did it happen?"
Zhao Tinglei staggered, and what he worried about came true.
No matter how capable a woman is, she will still be clumsy when doing things.
When Aunt Li made a mistake, she would go to a man to complain. Now Song Liyun has to go to a man to complain after doing something good. Even a red coral can't stop her.
It's easy to imagine what that meant, and it must be "Zhao Shoubei's poor management of his family is nothing more than this."
The reason he thought so was that he was deeply impressed by what Song Liyun said when they first met.
But as a man of seven feet tall, I can't quarrel with my future sister-in-law.
Then he thought that his third brother and this military girl had not yet married, and he would definitely try to please and pamper her, so he would have to say a few sweet words to her, which gave him a headache!
The deputy was shocked to see the usually agile general almost fall down. He thought Zhao Tinglei was injured and hurriedly called for a doctor.
Zhao Tinglei stopped him impatiently: "Tell me first, when did Abu and the others leave?"
The deputy general said in panic, "Before dawn, Abu had an emergency order written by you. The brothers guarding the gate verified it and let us pass. Sir... that order couldn't be fake, right?"
Zhao Tinglei felt his head ache again, and waved his hand: "No, forget it! I'm going back to the mansion, not the barracks."
He was a little afraid to go back home. If Song Liyun came to argue with him, he would not be able to handle it.
The chaos in the city soon subsided, the city gates were opened, and shops continued to do business, but everyone was uneasy.
The Qi family is gone, but who will take up the business vacancy left behind?
No one is taking any action now, but if time goes on for a long time and the Qi family in the capital cannot send people to quell the matter quickly, someone will definitely take action to seize the territory.
The vast Di Lu grassland, countless Di Lu tribes, all the salt, tea, cloth, grain, furs, medicines and jewelry are like mountains of gold and silver.
It was already dawn. On the grassland, Abu and Guo Tong were riding their horses at full speed. They needed to reach the Simon tribe as soon as possible.
There was no green on the grassland in March, and all they could see was brown and yellow sand. Just as the two were about to reach the Simon tribe camp, they were suddenly blocked by a dozen people.
"Abu! Why are you here again?"
They were stopped by a group of Di knights wearing sheepskin robes.
Abu looked and saw someone from the Wuda tribe among them. He was immediately delighted: "Aqiya, take me to see the young master quickly."
"What happened?" Aqiya immediately rode over.
"The young lady has some delicious fruits for the young master. If you don't send them to him soon, they will get spoiled!" Abu opened the leather bag on his back, revealing the green fruits inside.
"Hahahaha! The young lady is so kind to the young master!"
Aqiya waved his hand, and the horses gathered and turned to run towards the Simon tribe with Abu and the other man.
In the tribe, Zhao Tingduo, who was watching singing and dancing with Chief Simon, was a little surprised to see Abu coming.
He said he would arrive in Hecheng in three days, but the leader was very tight-lipped. He wasted two days and drank several jars of wine without getting a word out.
Now that Abu has come, he uses such a lame excuse that Song Liyun brought some fruit. There must be something going on in the city.
After finding a tent alone, Abu told Zhao Tingduo what happened in Hecheng.
After hearing that Song Liyun had robbed Qi Heng with the "treasure bag", Zhao Tingduo laughed: "Qi Heng is the first person to enjoy the treasure!"
He had heard from Ayun that the treasure bag could only hold inanimate objects, so he thought it must not be a good place.
When he heard about how Ayun's bedroom was nearly broken into by a thief last night at the garrison, his handsome face darkened. "Where are the patrols at the garrison? Where are the maids who should be waiting by the bed? How could someone break into the tent without them noticing?"
Abu quickly told the censor about the Qi family's plan to rob him, but he didn't dare tell him about Aunt Li's deliberate neglect of the young lady.
Aunt Li is the eldest son's concubine.
Now that the garrison commander's wife is not around, the eldest young master only has this close friend by his side. If he says anything, the young master will be resentful, and with Zhao Tingduo's temper, he will definitely get angry, and then the two brothers will be embarrassed.
These twists and turns were beyond Abu's imagination.
However, he has the most understanding Lin Qingyuan and the common man Song Dekui by his side, so he naturally understands the sense behind these family matters.
Zhao Tingduo didn't know why Song Liyun was in danger, and just thought it was a night attack by the Qi family.
At this moment, the anger came and went quickly, so he asked, "Does your young lady have anything to say to you?"
Based on his understanding of Ayun, Song Liyun is not the kind of woman who cannot take responsibility. What's more, she was prepared and not injured. If she asked Abu to come over, there must be other problems.
Abu looked around and whispered in someone's ear.
Zhao Tingduo's expression became serious: Ayun wants the Wuda tribe to withdraw and defend themselves?
That won’t work. The Wuda tribe and the Zhenbei Army are one and the same. There is no separation between you and me!
But it is possible that the Qi family will retaliate against the Zhenbei Army.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tingduo said to the guards standing outside the tent: "Gather our troops and return to the city immediately."
The guard ran away immediately.
He took Abu to the tent of Chief Simon to say goodbye.
The head of the Simon tribe had just married a young and beautiful wife, and they were in the midst of a passionate and affectionate relationship. Seeing Zhao Tingduo was about to leave, he left the bride's side and said, "Young Master Wuda, I've taken note of what you're asking. If we encounter a slave caravan next time, I'll definitely help you connect them."
Zhao Tingduo had been listening to these perfunctory words for a few days, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore. He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Chief Simon. I hope you will take care of me in the future. I'll take my leave now. I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon!"
When Abu set out, he didn't know that the Qi family had already escaped. Now Zhao Tingduo only guessed that the garrison had fallen out with the Qi family.
The Zhenbei Army cannot easily take action against the Wu Dynasty's imperial merchants, but their own Di tribe soldiers can be used on the grassland.
Soon, a hundred knights were ready to set off, following the usual trade route and heading straight for Xishi Pass.
By the time the gate closed, it was already midnight. The hundred knights could not enter rashly, so they found a herdsmen's camp ten miles outside the gate and set up camp.
Zhao Tingduo only brought Abu and seven or eight other people and quietly entered the city.
In the city, Song Liyun, who had been tossing and turning all night the night before, had already fallen asleep.
This time, not only were there two maids on duty outside the bedroom, but there were also soldiers patrolling back and forth outside, ensuring no negligence for a moment.
When it was daybreak, the maid came forward to help her wash and dress, and brought her tea and snacks, but no one came to call her for dinner.
"Hey! It's so late now, why don't you send breakfast over? If there's no one to prepare it at the garrison, I'll eat on the street."
Song Liyun called the little girl who was serving tea.
She had already drunk two cups of tea, and the water in her stomach had already washed her intestines clean, so she couldn't even hold on to a few snacks.
"Miss, you have to wait a little longer. The food is ready in the kitchen, but the adults haven't come yet." The little girl replied timidly.
These little girls were only seven or eight years old. They seemed to have been temporarily transferred here and were a little nervous in their work.
Even when answering Song Liyun's questions, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Then wait a little longer!"
Song Liyun muttered to herself.
Zhao Tinglei is coming over for dinner. Is he going to negotiate with me or to support Aunt Li?
As the hourglass ticked by, another hour passed and it was already past noon. Song Liyun had already finished another plate of peach blossom pastry when she finally saw some maids coming over with food boxes.
