Is it that great-aunt?
If it were that person, how could Old Lu believe the child belonged to the Lu family?
...
There must have been other things back then.
Su Jiaoniang stared at Huo Ying.
Huo Ying remained silent.
He said everything he could, only because the blacksmiths in Sweetwater Village were indeed better at forging weapons than the skilled craftsmen in the army.
He wouldn't say anything if it weren't for this.
Su Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Magistrate Hu also knows about Zhang the blacksmith's weapon forging, and has even reported it to Zhao Tang. What, didn't the emperor say anything?"
"..." Huo Ying's expression darkened for a moment, then returned to normal.
"Weapon manufacturing was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. The weapons used by the border troops were mostly made by their own craftsmen and were not from the same manufacturers."
...
The weapons used in the battle were not provided by the Ministry of War.
Whoever is fighting the war should handle the consequences themselves.
This general's job is so frustrating!
Su Jiaoniang suddenly felt uneasy about the Great Zhou Dynasty.
They won't even provide the weapons needed by those who want to defend their country...
After her initial surprise, she composed herself and led Huo Ying toward Zhang the blacksmith's house. When they knocked on the door, Jiang came out.
Jiang saw Huo Ying, who was both heroic and handsome.
The gazes directed at Su Jiaoniang became somewhat strange.
It's as if it's saying, "You've found another man."
Su Jiaoniang spoke up: "This is General Huo, who wants to ask Uncle Zhang some questions about forging."
Jiang was taken aback.
The Huo family?
Young General!
His face instantly showed a look of sudden realization.
"So you're Huo Jiajiang! Come in, come in!" Upon hearing the identity of the visitor, Madam Jiang immediately became warm and welcoming.
Ordinary people don't understand anything about what happens in the imperial court.
They didn't understand those scheming and intrigues, but they knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was stable and that the villagers could live because of the Huo family.
If it weren't for the Huo family, these villagers might already be citizens of the State of Qi.
Of course, it also depends on whether the general of Qi wants them to live!
Because the Huo family tenaciously guarded the national border, the people loved and respected them, and even revered them as gods.
Jiang also poured Huo Ying a bowl of sweet soup with egg, but she was still not satisfied.
Staring at Huo Ying, he asked, "General, would you like to have a meal? I'm a great cook; my braised noodles are delicious."
Huo Ying's gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang, and her expression became meaningful.
He declined Chiang's invitation to dinner.
They walked toward Zhang the blacksmith.
Su Jiaoniang stared at Zhang the blacksmith, who was chatting happily with Huo Ying, and for a moment began to doubt her own actions.
To unravel the mystery of Lu Wujiu's origins, she wanted Huo Ying to know whether the method of forging better weapons was right or wrong.
After all, Lu Wujiu is still a powerful minister in the State of Qi and the regent.
The two armies clashed.
So, did he hope for a victory for the State of Qi or for a victory for the State of Zhou?
Were there any colleagues he had a good relationship with, or people he admired, on the battlefield in Qi?
Where is the Great Zhou?
Could she tell Huo Ying that Lu Congrong wasn't the granddaughter of Huo's great-aunt, but rather Futu Xiaoya was?
...
If people knew that the father of the two children was the regent of Qi, wouldn't that mean the old emperor could wipe out the entire Huo family?
The fact that the Ministry of War refused to provide the Huo family with ice blades already reveals a problem.
At this moment, Su Jiaoniang wanted a brain that had never heard of the Huo family's secrets.
They had originally planned to get rid of Lu Congrong's fake identity.
Now she's a little hesitant.
Lu Wujiu's identity must not be revealed.
Otherwise, the Huo family might face annihilation.
Lu Congrong seems to be very lucky!
Su Jiaoniang suddenly felt a little envious.
I still felt a lump in my throat.
...
After finishing his conversation with Zhang the blacksmith, Huo Ying held a sheet of Xuan paper covered in writing. He carefully folded the paper and looked at Zhang the blacksmith with gratitude in his eyes.
They walked outside.
As he passed by Su Jiaoniang, he happened to see the change in her expression.
He asked, "Isn't Madam Su leaving?"
"Let's go." Su Jiaoniang smiled and followed behind Huo Ying.
After bidding farewell to Huo Ying, Su Jiaoniang returned home.
Fu Tu put down the book in his hand and noticed that Su Jiaoniang's gaze was somewhat unfocused.
She asked, "Mother, what happened?"
"It's nothing!" Su Jiaoniang shook her head.
She felt she had turned evil, and she wanted to kill Lu Congrong.
Otherwise, with Lu Congrong here, she wouldn't feel at ease going to the provincial government.
"How is Song Qian recovering?" Su Jiaoniang asked.
Fu Tu shook his head: "The danger hasn't passed yet; Doctor Liu needs to continue observing."
Su Jiaoniang looked at Futu: "Song Qian cannot be without people around him. Tell the Black-Clad Guards to be careful, as there may be more people trying to assassinate Song Qian."
“Saving people is not easy, but killing them is very easy, I know that.” Fu Tu remained calm.
Looking at the villain's charming confidence, Su Jiaoniang wanted to say, "As long as a person isn't dead, they might become an unkillable cockroach."
But when a child is this confident, it's actually quite charming.
Perhaps she should try to believe in Buddhism.
After all, the one who can't be killed and can always jump out to cause trouble is the little Buddha in front of us in the original work.
Night was falling.
Su Jiaoniang sneaked towards the small courtyard rented by Huo Ying.
She landed gently and walked towards Lu Congrong's room.
She wouldn't actually kill anyone, but she could render them speechless. There's more than one way to live; there's also a way called being half-dead.
A person in a vegetative state!
It is extremely difficult to turn a person into a vegetable.
If you're not careful, it can go too far and kill someone.
