On the day of Prince Jing and Mei Lanyi's wedding, another envoy from the island nation also arrived. The emperor ignored them, casually arranged for them to stay in an inn, and sent people to keep an eye on them. He did nothing else and let the court officials attend Prince Jing's wedding.
The island nation's envoy was very unhappy, feeling that he had been slighted. Just as he was about to cause trouble, he was beaten up by the people arranged by the emperor, and immediately became obedient with a feeling of disbelief.
They didn't understand. Wasn't it said that envoys should not be killed? What did Bei Yan mean by this?
Although they hadn't actually killed anyone, they felt it was coming soon.
The entire Lu family had gone to the Prince Jing's residence for a wedding banquet and were unaware of the island nation's envoy. They only learned about it from the people on their way home after the banquet.
"The islanders are really arrogant and ignorant. They dare to be so cocky even on our territory. No wonder they got beaten up."
Lu Xiaoyang sighed and then asked, "Third Aunt, do we need to go to Japan when we go out next time? I don't think there are any good places there."
"Don't go there. It's chaotic there, there are no good people, and it's dangerous to sail there. Try not to set foot there."
Jiang Jiuniang hurriedly stopped her, fearing that the child was too curious, and quietly went over.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal in the past, but there were too many uncertainties there, and she had a lot of things to deal with. If something really happened, she wouldn't be able to get there in time to provide assistance. It would be better to choose some safe countries.
Lu Xiaoyang listened to Jiang Jiuniang's advice. She said not to go, so naturally he had no reason to take his wife on an adventure.
Jiang Jiuniang added, "For now, you should take care of the family business and not go out. Wait a year or two before going out again. This will give you a break. You can't keep running around outside all the time."
Actually, something might happen during this period. Jiang Jiuniang was worried about them going out. If those people targeted them and used them to threaten her, it would be troublesome.
Lu Xiaoyang had noticed that her aunt had been preoccupied lately. Seeing that her aunt repeatedly told her not to go out recently, she guessed that something was about to happen and obediently agreed.
Upon returning home, Jiang Jiuniang went straight back to her room. Xiangxiang was still being cared for by Sun Shi, giving her plenty of time to do her research.
Her family noticed her recent unusual behavior, but no one bothered her.
Asking won't solve the problem, so don't bother her.
But Yu personally prepared and delivered her meals every day. Seeing that she didn't smile much, she couldn't help but comfort her, "Third sister-in-law, no matter what happens, we will all face it with you. Just tell us if there's anything we can do. Don't always bear it alone."
Jiang Jiuniang nodded, smiled, and said, "I know, sister-in-law."
It wasn't that she didn't want to share with them, but she simply didn't know where to begin. The only person who knew all her secrets was Lu Baichuan, but even Lu Baichuan couldn't help her. He didn't want her to take risks, after all, there were family members and children here who needed protection, so she had to go alone.
Seeing that she agreed, Mrs. Yu felt much relieved and turned to leave.
Jiang Jiuniang carried her things back to her study, then completely shut herself away to do research, ignoring everything else and leaving it all to her family.
The zombie girl was anxious. The day to return was fast approaching, but she had made no progress at all. This was a waste of resources, and she would be punished when she got back.
We must make Lan Jiu willingly go back with her.
She was reluctant to go back simply because she couldn't bear to leave her husband and family in this world. It was that simple. Men are the most vulnerable to temptation. As long as she could make Lu Baichuan betray Lan Jiu and make Lan Jiu lose heart, Lan Jiu would definitely be willing to go back to the future with her.
That way she would have done a great service.
With that in mind, she headed straight for the military camp.
Lu Baichuan has been training his troops, and as the situation becomes increasingly complex, strengthening the military is the only solution.
"General, training like this every day is getting a bit boring. Why don't we go train in the mountains? We can even catch some wild game!"
Lu Baichuan glanced at the man, then looked at the snow-covered mountains. What good things could there be in the mountains at this time of year?
However, training in the mountains at this time does increase the difficulty and helps improve the soldiers' abilities.
"Then let's go."
This was the first time Lu Baichuan had been so easy to talk to, which surprised the other party, who then spread the news far and wide.
Lu Baichuan had the soldiers assemble and line up, then began to explain the plan for training in the mountains, assigning tasks to each of them. He also brought some water and dry rations. By the time they actually went up the mountain, an hour had passed.
Zombie Girl originally thought that this training would be something she could start anytime, but who knew that Lu Baichuan would be so slow, leaving her alone in the mountains freezing cold.
Just when she thought Lu Baichuan was going to change his mind and not come, she finally heard footsteps. She immediately jumped into the large pit that had been prepared in advance, causing some external injuries, and then cried for help with tears in her eyes.
The zombie girl had a wealth of experience from the future and thought that taking down Lu Baichuan would be a piece of cake. She called out sweetly twice from inside the trap, and sure enough, the group of soldiers outside noticed her.
"General, it sounds like someone is calling for help."
The speaker was the soldier who had just suggested he go up the mountain for training; his name was Qian Dabao, and he was quite sturdy-looking.
Lu Baichuan wasn't deaf, so he naturally heard it, but he didn't react much. He simply asked Qian Dabao to take some people to check it out.
Qian Dabao, however, was unwilling and said, "General, please go and see for yourself. It sounds like a girl's voice. I'm not married yet, so it's not appropriate!"
Lu Baichuan: ? ? ?
"Shouldn't people with families avoid suspicion?"
He glanced at Qian Dabao, his face showing obvious disdain.
Those around him chimed in, "Yeah, Da Bao, this is your chance! Be the hero and save the damsel in distress, hurry up!"
Having said all that, it would be inappropriate for Qian Dabao to refuse again. He smiled, his face flushed, and then left, looking quite embarrassed.
Someone nearby joked, "This kid clearly wants to go, but he's being so polite to our general!"
Lu Baichuan did not stay there to wait for others, but instead instructed the other soldiers to begin training as planned.
First, warm up, then split into two teams to compete until a winner is decided before heading down the mountain.
Now that we're here, we need to make sure the training is done properly.
Qian Dabao was quite fast; he arrived with the zombie girl in no time.
The zombie girl had injured her leg and was covered in blood. She walked slowly and looked very pitiful.
Many soldiers felt sorry for her. Such a beautiful girl, falling into a trap in the dead of winter. If it weren't for their training in the mountains, she would have frozen to death there.
Qian Dabao said, "General, this girl is injured. Why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow?"
Lu Baichuan had been holding back for a long time, agreeing to whatever Qian Dabao asked for, but this time, he finally couldn't hold back and said coldly, "How about you become the general?"
