Wake up and become a son-in-law

But before the boat had sailed far, Xu Jianye spotted him. He picked up the bow and arrow next to him and aimed at Su Xiaoxiang. Su Xiaoxiang was immediately hit by an arrow through the chest. Before Su Xiaoxiang could react, another arrow was fired. Finally, Su Xiaoxiang fell into the lake, and all the soldiers on the Tang Dynasty cried out in sorrow, but they could only flee in confusion after the man fell into the water. In this way, only a few hundred people on the Tang Dynasty escaped and ascended to heaven, and the remaining thousands of soldiers were all He was buried in this river...

A night attack ended tragically like this. Wei Guanming handed over his hand and said, "The commander is so good at predicting things. If our army is entrenched in the reeds, the opponent will not be able to detect it, and we can observe the opponent's enemy situation very well. In this way, we defend and attack." It’s really clever! I just didn’t expect that Tang Dynasty would dare to attack at night.”

Xu Jianye was a little disappointed, "It's a pity that it's not Black Teeth Changzhi. This Lan Yuheng is really cautious... Send an unknown person to die?"

"General! This person seems to be Su Xiaoxiang, the general manager of the rear army! This is not a little guy," Xue Zhang said in surprise.

Xu Jianye raised his eyebrows, not too happy. The enemy has never been these people. "Okay, continue to send people to monitor here. If there is any enemy situation, report it immediately. I want to see how Lan Yuheng responds. Now we In the dark, he is in the open...it is clear to judge, throw this person's body to Lan Yuheng, let him weigh his own weight..."

Wei Guanming and others all admired Xu Jianye's thinking. They thought they would retreat to Jiangdu, but they didn't expect Xu Jianye to find such a strategic location. If he dared to attack, he would almost be exposed in front of them!

Soon the news of Su Xiaoxiang's death in battle reached Lan Yuheng's ears. Lan Yuheng was sitting in the commander's tent with a particularly ugly face. He said that he could not attack at night. Now that he was well, it was the rear army manager, Wei Yuanzhong and others who died. Those sitting below bowed their heads and remained silent. After a while, Su Xiaoxiang's body was brought back. He had been hit by several arrows and his end was particularly miserable.

"Transport the people back to Chang'an..." Lan Yuheng gave the order helplessly.

Wei Yuanzhong stood up and saluted Lan Yuheng, "I would like to ask the commander-in-chief to punish him. If I hadn't insisted on this matter..."

"This is how fighting is... Mr. Wei, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Xu Jianye is too cunning. He has long expected that our people will attack at night. It seems that the matter needs to be considered in the long run. They rely on the terrain to defend Xia Axi. They have already planned it. ..." Lan Yuheng was also curious about why Xu Jianye stopped suddenly. It seemed that he was setting up a trap to wait for him...

If it was Hei Te Changzhi who went this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to come back. Thinking about it makes me feel scared.

Black Teeth Changzhi stood up and said, "Commander, how about I try again tomorrow?"

Lan Yuheng waved his hands and said, "No matter what we try, it's useless. As long as they are stationed in Xia'axi, it will be difficult for our people to attack them. Moreover, every move we make while marching on the water will be exposed to the eyes of the opponent. The situation is particularly unfavorable to us... This Let me think about it some more..."

Lan Yuheng did not act rashly again. This mutual stalemate lasted for half a month. It seemed that both sides were waiting for the other to make the first move...

Changan

Wu Meiniang's face in the palace was full of sadness. There had been no movement in this battle for so long. She couldn't help but worry about Lan Yuheng. Moreover, Su Xiaoxiang's death also let her know that Xu Jianye was quite troublesome.

"Empress...According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, many refugees from the Yangzhou generation have come to Chang'an recently." The father-in-law on the side handed the paper to Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang took the paper and took a look at it irritably, and then threw it aside. "Such a small thing. Just let the Ministry of Household Affairs arrange it on its own! Don’t you think I have to handle it myself?”

"Yes... Empress Qi, and the white horse..."

"Okay! I don't want to hear these things today! Just leave it to Ping Xihou Mansion"

Listening to Wu Meiniang's irritable tone, the father-in-law hurriedly responded, fearing that he would be scolded if he waited a second. Ever since Lan Yuheng went to war, the Queen Mother's character has become more and more irritable.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" As soon as the Queen Mother arrived, Li Shiqi, Mo Yuyi and others hurriedly came out to greet them. Even Shangguan Wan'er came out with her, but her expression was unnatural.

Li Shiqi saluted Wu Meiniang and said, "See the Queen Mother."

Wu Meiniang helped Li Shiqi up and said with a smile, "Sister, you don't have to be like this. I'm here to check on Yu'er today. After all, I'm pregnant. I wonder if Yu'er is here?"

Li Shiqi's expression was a little subtle when Wu Meiniang called her sister, "Go back to the Queen Mother, Sister Yu'er is in the backyard, why don't I go and call her..."

Wu Meiniang waved her hand and said, "No, I'll go and see her." After that, she went to the backyard on her own, but stopped when she passed by Shangguan Wan'er, "How has Yu Heng been treating you these days in the Hou Mansion?"

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen, "Go back to the empress, Mr. Lan Guo... treats me very well..."

Wu Meiniang glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, "Since you are getting married, you should call me husband, not Duke Lan. From now on, you should settle down in the Marquis' Mansion. Because of Yu Heng, I will put the past things in the past. Do your best to be your husband and raise your children." It’s my duty”

"Yes..." Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head, Wu Meiniang walked a few steps and then stopped, "You didn't say anything about me, did you?"

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and said, "No... Wan'er knows what's appropriate."

Wu Meiniang nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you are very smart, and I like you very much..." Yuluo walked out of the backyard, leaving a few people in confusion.

Mo Yuyi curled her lips and said, "This is like her family..."

Li Shiqi glared at Mo Yuyi, "Yu Yi, please stop saying a few words, or she will hear it later."

Mu Qianqian pulled Shangguan Wan'er and smiled and said, "Sister, what did the Queen Mother say just now?" Everyone was a little curious.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled, "It's nothing...just some homely things." However, the smile was a little far-fetched.

Mu Qianqian wanted to ask again, but Li Shiqi pulled her back, "Sister, don't ask, go back and take care of Yu'er."

Mu Qianqian showed an apologetic smile to Shangguan Wan'er, knowing that she was being presumptuous. After all, Shangguan Wan'er was not as close as her other sisters.

"Yu'er, have you been feeling uncomfortable lately?" Wu Meiniang gently caressed Wu Yu'er's lower abdomen.

Wu Yu'er smiled and said, "No, my whole body ached a lot some time ago. Later, Miss Qiu gave me some prescriptions, and now I'm fine."

"That's good..." Wu Meiniang seemed to have something to say to Wu Yu'er, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth. Wu Yu'er smiled and said, "Sister, just tell me what you want to say. Is it a bad guy's thing?"

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes rolled, "No... By the way, I have brought you something to soothe your nerves and nourish your baby. You should take it more these days. The baby should be born in a month or two."

"Oh..." Wu Yuer responded nonchalantly, "Sister, do you think this is a boy or a girl?"

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I can't answer your question, so what do you think is better, a boy or a girl?"

Wu Yu'er thought for a moment, "Let's still be a boy. At least give him a wife."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "That's a boy."

Wu Yu'er also laughed happily, but then she thought about something and her smile faded a little, "Sister...when will my husband-in-law come back? Has the matter in Yangzhou not been resolved yet?"

Wu Meiniang patted Wu Yu'er's head, "It should be soon. You should believe that you are the right husband. I will be back soon." She couldn't tell the time, but she couldn't let Yu'er worry.

Wu Yu'er sighed, "Sister, you don't need to comfort me. It's just that my husband is not in good health to begin with. He has been out for so long... I don't know what's going on."

Wu Meiniang looked at Wu Yu'er quietly. Perhaps Wu Yu'er could only show such a look towards Lan Yuheng. After all, she had never seen her sister worrying about others. Even her sister could only feel sad at most, and turned around again. I just played mindlessly...

"Sister, why are you looking at me like this?" Wu Yu'er said displeasedly, Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "It's nothing... I just think Yu'er is really good-looking. This bastard will be lucky to marry you for eight lifetimes."

"Sister looks good, just like me," Wu Yu'er said with a smile.

Wu Meiniang seemed to be sighing, "Actually, I have always been jealous of you... If you enter the palace, I am afraid that my sister will not have a chance. I have heard from others that I have three similarities with you, but these three points are inheritance. It’s just about your appearance..."

"Sister, why do you say such things? Appearances are just skin. Wisdom is the real thing. Like me, you are very stupid, but sister, you are very smart. If I entered the palace, I would definitely not be alive now." Wu Yu'er was quite puzzled said seriously

Wu Meiniang seemed to be amused by these words, "You are saying good things to me. You are not stupid. On the contrary, you are smarter than me. It's just that I am a little more ambitious than you. Although I am just talking about skin, but this Skin can also bring many benefits to people, right?"

"Sister, why do you want to think about this? You are the Queen Mother now." Wu Yu'er said with a smile. Wu Mei Niang showed a faint smile and did not answer Wu Yu'er's words, as if there was no way to answer this question...

In another room, Xie Zijun pulled Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er and Wu Meiniang haven't left yet?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "It seems like we were discussing something in Sister Yu'er's room."

Xie Zijun returned to the couch and sat there thoughtfully. Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were a little wandering, "Master...are you planning to attack her?"

Xie Zijun glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and said nothing. Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and said, "Young Master... let's forget it."

Xie Zijun frowned and said, "How can you say such a thing, Wan'er? I have prepared so much and brought Xu Jianye, Li Zhen and the others in just for today? Should I let my husband settle all these things and let Wu Meiniang sit back and enjoy the results? I tried every possible means to get it done." Sir, when you leave, can you just say it and let it go? Even if I let Wu Meiniang let her go, can she?"

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips, "But...but she is Sister Yu'er's sister, and...and she should be sincere to Duke Lan. If she really did such a thing...Lan The Duke will definitely hate you."
