"Who are you?"
Looking at Peilan, who was bound hand and foot, Lingzhenhou saw that Peilan was covered in mud and had large and small wounds on her face, making her look ferocious and terrifying.
"I am here to lend a helping hand to the Marquis."
Pei Lan laughed foolishly. In order to see Lord Lingzhen smoothly, she had been a beggar and played the role of a madwoman along the way. In any case, she came.
"Just because you're a woman?"
Marquis Zhen seemed to have heard something unbelievable. The general beside him drew the sword from his waist. "My lord, judging from your accent, you are from Daqing. You have gone to great lengths to come here. I'm afraid you have ulterior motives. Why don't we just kill you and be done with it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room began to glare at Pei Lan. Da Qing had killed so many of their brothers, and there was a deep-seated hatred between them!
"Now that Marquis Dingyuan is determined to destroy Great Wei, and Great Wei is suffering defeat after defeat, if this continues, Marquis Zhen, Great Wei will probably be gone in less than half a month."
"Insolence!" Pei Lan was kicked out of the door by Ling Zhenhou and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"You vile woman! How dare you curse my Great Wei!"
Pei Lan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a cold glint in her eyes. If it weren't for avenging Qingyi, she wouldn't have helped these fools from the Great Wei.
“I have a fatal weakness in Marquis Dingyuan.”
With just one sentence, the surroundings immediately fell silent.
The gaze in Ling Zhenhou's eyes shifted repeatedly before he finally stepped forward and stood before Pei Lan. "Those who once deceived me have now been fed to the dogs."
"My lord, I have traveled a long way to deliver this message, all for the sake of Jiang He's death."
Perhaps the hatred in Pei Lan's eyes was too obvious, causing Zhen Hou to stare intently at Pei Lan, "What will it take for you to tell me what you call Jiang He's weakness?"
"Please clear the surrounding area, my lord. This secret can only be told to you alone."
......
Meanwhile, in the military camp in Daqing.
Jiang He sat alone at the table, staring blankly at the map in front of him.
Ayu's birthday is coming soon. This time, neither he nor Gu Lin will be in the capital. Fortunately, the Emperor will be able to stay with Ayu.
And... I wonder how things are going with A-Qian.
I heard that there is a lot of internal debate in Da Ning about sending troops to Da Qing. Although Gu Lin is in charge, he is still worried.
That rebellious king of Da Ning, as slippery as an eel, is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, Gu Lin's true identity... is also a huge problem.
"My lord!"
Outside the tent, Chang Qing's voice rang out. Jiang He regained his senses and slowly said, "Come in."
After Chang Qing entered, he first clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang He and asked, "Lord Marquis, when shall we launch another attack on the Great Wei?"
"The soldiers are all ready. This time, we will definitely be able to wipe out the Great Wei in one fell swoop!"
Chang Qing's high spirits brought a smile to Jiang He's face. "Let's set it for three days from now, so we can still send a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager in time."
However, once he wipes out the Great Wei, Ah Qian will likely face even greater pressure.
How could the court officials of Da Ning be willing to watch Da Qing gradually become stronger?
"Yes, sir!"
Chang Qing strode away from the camp again, and soon after, Daqing's army was on full alert again, making full preparations for the expedition three days later.
Jiang He wasn't the only one who remembered Jiang Yu's birthday.
Zhong Mansion.
"Cough cough cough—" Wei Ruo lay weakly on the table, and the servant next to her quickly brought her a cup of tea.
"My lord, you must take care of yourself. It's been two months, and you've only been sleeping a few hours a day. Even someone made of iron can't take that."
Kui Ruo took a few sips of tea to moisten her throat, then struggled to sit up. "Afan, the matter of supplies is more important than my life."
The war between the Great Wei and the Great Qing has not only drawn the Eastern Qing Kingdom into the conflict, but has also lasted for almost two months. Supplies are crucial to the victory in this war.
"grown ups......"
Afan seemed to want to say something more, but was stopped by Wei Ruo waving his hand.
“It wasn’t just the Wei’s secret guards who were targeting the supplies recently, but also those from Da Ning.” Kui Ruo’s face was extremely grim. The fact that Da Ning’s people were able to infiltrate meant that the person behind them was no ordinary individual.
"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching. If we can conquer Great Wei before then, Her Majesty can celebrate her birthday in peace."
Knowing the importance of Jiang Yu in Wei Ruo's heart, A Fan lowered his head and said no more.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.
"Sir, the grain supplies were blocked by a huge boulder that rolled down the mountain when they were passing by the cliff."
Wei Ruo suddenly stood up, and the sudden darkness in her vision made her quickly reach out to hold onto the corner of the table. After several breaths, Wei Ruo regained her vision. "Where exactly is it?"
The location where the boulder rolled down was marked on the map.
Wei Ruo slammed her hand on the table in anger, "It's here!"
They effectively strangled their most vital supply route.
"Prepare the carriage; I need to go to the palace."
......
Zhaoning Palace.
Jiang Yu was embroidering marigolds on the cuffs of Gu Qingyan's robe when suddenly, she gasped, the needle piercing her fingertip, and a small patch of blood immediately welled up.
"Mother?"
Upon hearing the commotion, Gu Qingyan quickly put down the military treatise in his hand and ran to Jiang Yu's side.
"It's nothing." Jiang Yu pressed her wound. "I wonder how your uncle and aunt are?"
Gu Qingyan's brows furrowed so deeply they looked like they could trap a fly. "Mother, please rest assured. You just told me to trust my uncle and aunt!"
Jiang Yu's gaze fell on the letter on the table, a letter that Gu Lin had sent yesterday.
The letter said that the disloyal officials in the Da Ning court had been dealt with, and that there would be no major trouble in Da Ning in the short term.
"Mother, your birthday is coming soon."
Gu Qingyan's words made Jiang Yu feel a little dazed. So soon, her birthday was coming up again?
The scene of my birthday last year seems like it just happened yesterday.
"I bet my uncle is planning to attack Great Wei again in the next few days, intending to present Great Wei as a birthday gift to Mother!"
Gu Qingyan carefully observed Jiang Yu's complexion, and only after seeing that Jiang Yu's complexion had improved did he smile. "Mother, don't worry, we will all be safe and sound."
"Okay, may everyone be safe and sound."
Jiang Yu prayed silently in her heart.
[Oh God, I want to make my birthday wish in advance this time—to be safe and sound.]
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei requests an audience."
Qin Wei's words made Jiang Yu's heart, which had just relaxed, jump up instantly. Why did Wei Ruo enter the palace?
