Chapter 305 Zhao Lingmeng's arrangements before departure
"Wow, it's made of gold! My little sister is so generous!" Zhao Anwei just opened the letter and heard his wife Ye's exclamation. He followed his wife's gaze and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is indeed a grand gesture."
Zhao Anwei immediately read the letter at a glance. Knowing the function of this thing, he loved it even more. But he still had reason. "My little sister suddenly gave me a self-defense item. What happened?"
"Reporting to Lord Zhao, the Longling Kingdom has attacked, Anding and Anyang have fallen, and the people of the two cities have been massacred. I guess this will be discussed at the morning court today."
When Zhao Anwei heard Dong Yuan say this, he immediately stood up and asked, "What do you mean, are you serious?"
Even Ye who was standing next to him opened her eyes wide in disbelief and stared at Dong Yuan motionlessly.
Dong Yuan nodded affirmatively, "Reporting to Lord Zhao, it is absolutely true."
Zhao Anwei couldn't even eat breakfast anymore. He immediately stood up and went to the study. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Dong Yuan, "Tell my little sister that I know what's going on."
"Besides, we're grateful for her gifts," Ye added hastily. She knew her husband's ambitions. If war came, he'd definitely want to go to the front lines. With her little sister's soft armor, she felt more at ease. She was truly grateful to her little sister.
It was too rushed at this moment. Ye thought that she should go to clean up the warehouse to see if there were any rare items and then send a few to her younger sister.
Dong Yuan agreed to all of their requests, bowed respectfully, and left. She had to hurry back because the Princess's Mansion was busy right now!
When Dong Yuan returned, he heard the princess instructing the people in the palace to send his cousin Zhao Zhimo back later. In fact, Zhao Zhimo was supposed to go back today. His cowpox had long been cured, and he had just been recuperating in the princess's palace these days.
Zhao Lingmeng had given these instructions specifically because she was worried that if they left, the people below would pretend to obey but actually disobey, causing Zhao Zhimo to suffer. So she had given them these instructions specifically, and she wasn't planning on waking them up so early. The young man had finally gotten a chance to sleep in, so she decided to let him sleep in a little longer!
Zhao Lingmeng thought about it for a while, and after considering all aspects, she sat by the window in her study, slowly waiting for the sun to rise. She thought that she would not have such a leisurely time to watch the sun for a long time.
As soon as the sky brightened, Zhao Lingmeng sent her confidant to pick up Yang Chengchen. At the same time, she also had someone call Zhao Houyang. Although she said she would leave the city at the appointed time, she couldn't sit still because she didn't know what was going on at the border after more than a month.
Maybe with a new weapon, he could save several people. So Zhao Lingmeng wanted to go earlier.
When Yang Chengchen arrived at the Princess's Mansion with his luggage, Zhao Houyang had already packed it. The two of them happened to meet on the way to Menglin Courtyard.
"Cousin, why are you here so early?"
"Why are you up so early?"
Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen looked at each other in surprise.
Yang Chengchen was stunned for a moment, then took the lead in explaining: "My aunt sent someone to pick me up, that's why I came so early. What about you?"
"I got up because my mother sent someone to wake me up." Zhao Houyang was stunned for a moment after he said this.
Then they both looked at each other and asked in unison, "Did something happen?"
They looked at each other again, and then they ran quickly towards Menglinyuan. They were quite worried at the moment.
As soon as they entered the gate of Menglinyuan, Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen both shouted loudly, "Mom!"
"aunt"
Zhao Lingmeng heard Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen calling her non-stop. She thought something was wrong and immediately ran out of the study.
Seeing that they were fine and had already run to the yard, I breathed a sigh of relief and scolded them softly, "What are you yelling for?"
As Zhao Lingmeng was sizing them up, Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen were also sizing her up. So when they heard their aunt's scolding, not only weren't they frightened, they actually smiled foolishly.
"Mom, are you okay? Why did you call us here so early? It's still early for us to leave!"
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two children's worried eyes, and her heart warmed. She reached out and touched their heads respectively. "I'm fine, but something happened in Jingguo, so we have to leave early today. We won't go to the village, but go directly to the military camp outside the city. We can't tell anyone about our whereabouts."
Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen were relieved when they heard Zhao Lingmeng's first sentence, but the more they listened, the wider their mouths opened.
"Aunt, is there going to be a war?"
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the worried eyes of Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen and said, "It's not that there's going to be a war. It's that the Longling Kingdom is attacking. Anding and Anyang were lost, and all the people there died for their country. It happened a month ago, and we still don't know what the situation is over there!"
Every time Zhao Lingmeng mentioned this, she felt very upset. She could accept the soldiers dying in battle, but she could not accept the civilians being massacred. In her heart, the nature of the two was worlds apart.
Perhaps it was from this moment that Zhao Lingmeng had a deep impression of Long Lingguo. Since Long Lingguo was not a martial artist, she shouldn't blame him.
Zhao Houyang looked at Zhao Lingmeng in disbelief. He really wanted to hear his mother say that he had misheard: "What? All the people in the two cities died?"
Yang Chengchen's eyes were also full of disbelief.
Zhao Lingmeng could only nod helplessly, "So we have to set off quickly. If we delay a little longer, we don't know how many people will die."
"Then aunt, let's go now."
Zhao Houyang also echoed Yang Chengchen, "Yes, let's go now."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two anxious children in front of her, feeling relieved that she hadn't raised them astray. But she still held their hands and walked towards the dining table. "The city gates aren't open yet! The morning court hasn't even started yet, and no one knows about this yet! We have to wait until the gates are open before we can leave. Let's have breakfast first. Once you're full, you can start working later."
When Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen heard what their aunt said, they nodded obediently and followed Zhao Lingmeng to the breakfast table and sat down.
The two of them looked at the breakfast on the table, which was all main dishes and staple foods. They were indeed trying to eat their fill.
Zhao Lingmeng and her two children ate breakfast while thinking about something. Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen knew that things were different now, so they ate in silence and did not say anything to disturb Zhao Lingmeng's thoughts.
Zhao Ling was dreaming about things on the border, and suddenly thought of something: the front line must be short of good doctors!
"Autumn Moon, Autumn Moon"
Qiuyue was arranging things outside, and there were only a few second-class maids waiting in the room. When Qiuyue heard the prince calling her, she immediately put down the things in her hands and came into the room.
