Chapter 398: Unfavorable Situation, Try Every Means



Chapter 398: Unfavorable Situation, Try Every Means

Mo Lingling thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because the Fifth Miss was listening too intently to the conversation of the tea drinkers."

Tao Wanyin asked, "What did they talk about?"

Mo Lingling said, "It's about the war with Xijin. I heard that Xijin has received reinforcements from Nanchu. Now there are 600,000 troops fighting against us. Those tea drinkers said that maybe in a few days, they will start recruiting soldiers."

The meat with countless small holes poked in Ji Qingwu's hands finally went into his mouth.

Tao Wanyin stopped stirring the soup and said worriedly, "The total number of troops Beili sent to the northern border is 450,000. It's very disadvantageous to lose so many of them."

Ji Qingrong said: "I remember when the emperor was the general of Dingbei..."

Ji Qingwu's ears moved and the chopsticks in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

She seemed to wake up from a dream, her eyes widened and she asked, "How is the emperor?"

Ji Qingrong said, "You... you seem absent-minded all day long. If you don't know me, you might think you are exhausted from taking care of me and Princess Yong."

Ji Qingwu rubbed his cheek and said, "I'm not tired, I just didn't sleep well these days."

Mo Lingling got up and changed her a new pair of bamboo chopsticks.

Ji Qingwu said: "Thank you."

She asked again: "Big sister, what did you say just now?"

Ji Qingrong said to the Princess of Yong who was standing opposite her: "Princess, take a look. Is my fifth sister suffering from amnesia? Is my diagnosis correct?"

"Only by hearing one person's name can we call her back."

Tao Wanyin smiled and said, "It's rare for me to see Qingwu so confused. He must be going through a difficult time because of his relationship."

Ji Qingwu knew they were teasing her, so she gave a perfunctory smile.

Then he asked, "Big sister, what were you talking about just now?"

Ji Qingrong said, "We heard some rumors from Miss Mo. They all said that Xijin and Nanchu have joined forces and have a total of 600,000 troops. We Beili are at a disadvantage."

Ji Qingwu had lost his appetite just now because he was thinking about this matter.

It would be better if she could go with Emperor Wu Su, so that she could stay by his side. Even if she couldn't help him solve his problems, she could still serve him tea and water.

If all else fails, he'll go back to his old job and treat the wounded soldiers.

It's better than waiting for news passively here. Every day when she hears the rumors on the street, her heart goes up and down and she is never at peace.

Ji Qingwu drew circles on the table with his fingertips. He finally got the chance to go with them, but he missed it.

There are too many people "guarding" her now.

There were dozens of secret guards watching the area around the clinic day and night, both to protect her and to keep an eye on her to prevent her from sneaking away to the northern border.

These are the intentions of Emperor Wu Su.

As early as the eighth day after Ji Qingrong gave birth, Ji Qingwu wanted to pack up and leave, but was caught on the spot by a group of secret guards.

Even if she had the whole world, it would be of no use. She could only return to where she came from in disappointment.

Ji Qingwu has been caught red-handed three times.

When she thought of this, she lay down on the table.

Ji Qingrong thought that the fifth sister was getting impatient, so she quickly continued, "With the emperor there, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Your Majesty once fought a battle where he defeated a larger force with a smaller one. The situation was dire at the time, and Yuezhou was captured by Xi Jin's general. Your Majesty opened a 500-li mountain road and sent troops from two directions to encircle the enemy."

Ji Qingwu tilted his head and listened very carefully.

She had not seen this scene in person. It happened after she slipped away from the military tent.

Ji Qingrong said: "The emperor only used 8,000 elite soldiers to swallow up Xi Jin's 40,000 troops and horses, and also took back Yuezhou. At that time, Xi Jin's general Wang was captured alive and was finally beheaded in Yuezhou."

Ji Qingwu seemed to have returned to Yuezhou, where the west wind was howling and the flags were fluttering.

She saw General Dingbei, who was standing on the city wall, fully clothed in armor, looking solemnly at the people who had been rescued in the city.

Tao Wanyin's face also showed admiration.

"Your Majesty is truly brave and unrivaled."

Mo Lingling also said: "Even the little kids on the street knew about this. If it weren't for the emperor, Yuezhou would have become the second city to be massacred by Xijin after Yucheng."

Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered.

She knew how powerful Zhao Mingyan was and how skilled he was at commanding troops.

But he is not God after all.

You will feel tired and there will be times when you feel powerless.

What should I do at this time?

Ji Qingwu pursed her lips and went to his side.

After dinner, Ji Qingrong fed the child and then called Ji Qingwu into the room.

"Big sister, what do you want from me? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Qingwu guessed the possible cause and said, "If you have milk blockage and pain, I have a little homemade thing that I can bring to you."

When Ji Qingrong heard her say this about milk blockage, her face turned slightly red.

She shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine. After your treatment, I feel better now than before I got pregnant."

Ji Qingrong called her over, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "Fifth sister, if you want to go to the North, go ahead."

Ji Qingrong was reluctant to let her go to a dangerous place, but seeing how distracted she had been these days, it would be better to let her go. At least she would feel relieved.

Ji Qingwu stammered, "Big sister..."

The eldest sister actually saw through her intention.

Ji Qingrong said: "Don't look at me like that. Your thoughts are written on your face. Anyone who is not blind can see it."

Especially when she mentioned the old story of Emperor Wu Su today, everyone's eyes were full of admiration.

Only she, the fifth sister, had eyes filled with lingering affection and concern, and the most difficult thing to ignore was worry.

Ji Qingrong said, "Fifth sister, leave the family affairs and the clinic to me, I will take good care of them for you."

Ji Qingwu walked over and said pitifully, "Big sister, but I can't leave."

"Why?"

Ji Qingwu pouted and said, "The emperor left dozens of secret guards to watch me and not allow me to sneak to the northern border."

Ji Qingrong sighed several times.

There is wonder, envy, and peace of mind...

Emperor Wu Su's love for his fifth sister was all revealed in secret.

Ji Qingrong tapped her head gently: "You, I thought you didn't leave because you wanted to take care of me."

Ji Qingwu shook her arm and begged, "Big sister, can you help me?"

"How can I help you?"

Ji Qingwu nodded vigorously: "Yes, big sister can do anything."

Ji Qingrong was a little confused by this and said, "Fifth sister, we are sisters, so why would we talk about helping each other? As long as I can do it, I can do it for you."

Ji Qingwu said, "Lend me Song Ge'er."

That night.

A woman walked out of the clinic with her back facing outside. She was wearing a crabapple-red headscarf and a bright red crabapple-shaped cloak. This was the style that Ji Qingrong liked to wear on a daily basis.

She held a premature baby in her arms.

Chun Xing followed behind her, carrying a bundle.
