Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy
Chapter 212 Departure
"No, no, no, General Xu is old, so of course he won't be sent." And now he is his father-in-law, so of course he has to avoid suspicion.
"I was overthinking that. So who should we send?"
"Why are you so anxious? Father has just brought up this matter today, so he will naturally wait for the ministers to discuss it and either recommend someone or recommend themselves. It won't be that fast."
Lu An moved away from the table and lay down on the bed. He felt that Yixing's bed was fragrant and warm, which was really comfortable.
"That's right." Somehow, although he already knew that it was not his father who went to the war, Xu Yixing still felt uneasy.
The court had only been settled for a few years, the old generals were too old, the middle-level generals were almost all dead, and there were no famous new generals. In fact, the peace in the past few years might have been because the court had no one to use, so it had to slow down the frequency of wars.
Now the Small Song Kingdom is just to the south of Qi, and Lu Anyuan is a fiefdom owner. Xu Yixing is really worried. What if the emperor gets hot-headed and lets him lead the troops himself? Wouldn't that be dangerous?
Not to mention the battlefield itself, if the Second Prince and his men took the opportunity to do something, I might become a widow.
"Yuan, do you think this was the work of the Second Prince?"
"No." Without any hesitation, Lu Anyuan turned over and sat up, answering with certainty. "Ying Fei's actions have given him enough headaches. His best solution is to kill my third brother. The crime was discovered by the palace. I think it was because my father couldn't bear to see us brothers fighting, so he instructed us to do so."
There is another more important possibility, but he himself is not sure. According to legend, the founding emperor of Daxia had a sword that has been handed down from generation to generation, but it was lost during the previous emperor's conquest. It is said that it may have fallen into the hands of the Song Kingdom or the dozen or so small countries around it.
When my father first ascended the throne, he also fought many battles, and it was his regret that he never had the Emperor's Sword. Now that he has this reason to fight, my father is very happy.
"Then do you think the emperor will send you to fight? After all, this is your fiefdom."
"Impossible. Father knows that I am not good at leading troops and will not give such an order. I tell you..."
"Your Highness, the palace warriors are here to deliver the emperor's message. Please enter the palace immediately."
"Know what?"
Xu Yixing and Lu Anyuan looked at each other, both feeling puzzled for the first time in their history. Could they really be going to war?
"Master Lux didn't say."
Lu Anyuan straightened his clothes and gave Xu Yixing a comforting smile: "Don't think too much, maybe my father missed me and asked me to come over to see him."
"Pooh!" A hint of red appeared in the corners of Xu Yixing's eyes, and he turned red unconsciously. He had just seen her in the morning and now he was going to see her again. It would be strange if this wasn't a ghost!
Lu Anyuan wanted to say something else, but when he saw her eyes full of tears, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, feeling sore and speechless. He could only quickly put on his cloak and went out of the house again in the snow.
It was just lunch time, and Xu Yixing felt as if he was in a frying pan. For the first time in his life, he did not eat properly, but just sighed at the table full of food.
If Lu Anyuan was really sent to the Little Song Kingdom, then I must go with him!
Having made up his mind, Xu Yixing packed up on his own and decided that he didn't need to bring anything with him on the expedition, just a good sword, a good armor and a good horse.
So when Lu Anyuan returned home, what he saw was the cold food and Xu Yixing, who was carrying a bag and looked like he was about to leave.
"Are you going to run away from home?" Lu Anyuan shook her bag, which was really heavy. It could only be full of silver.
Xu Yixing looked fearless and calm: "Tell me, when are we going to go?"
Lu Anyuan tilted his head, his eyes confused and not understanding the situation, but he still answered truthfully: "The army will set out in three days."
"How many troops will you bring?"
"One hundred thousand, fifty thousand Southern Border troops, fifty thousand Dragon Guards, outflanking the Little Song Kingdom at the same time."
Xu Yixing nodded. The Song Kingdom was just a small borderland. The emperor could send so many soldiers and horses. He must want a great victory. Although the three days were a bit tense, Daxia's military preparations had never been relaxed. It was enough. This trip would definitely be a triumph, which was quite gilded. Very good.
"Your Majesty is wise. If that's the case, then hurry up and clean up."
“Wait wait, wait a minute. From what you said, you are planning to go to the battlefield?” Lu Anyuan emphasized the word “you” very much. He had already seen clearly that Yixing wanted to go with him. Haha, this is really interesting.
"What else? I won't stay at home and be a widow. I am the descendant of General Fuyuan. Am I not qualified to go to the battlefield?"
Lu Anyuan couldn't help but laugh. That was right. Yixing's current aura was exactly the same as when he first fell in love with her. It had never changed.
"Where did you get this sword?" Lu Anyuan looked down and saw that she was holding a long sword in her hand. The sword was painted red all over. He could even feel the chillness of the sword without drawing the blade.
How could Yixing have a sword with such a murderous aura?
"I stole it." Xu Yixing was not shy about it. She took it from her own armory. When she married her grandson You's father, she didn't allow herself to bring any weapons with her. This time when she came to Lu Anyuan's place, she deliberately took some and put them under the box. Now they are finally useful.
"Is there money in this bag?"
"What money? It's armor!" She threw the bundle with one hand so that Lu Anyuan could see it for himself.
"Oh, but I may disappoint my wife." Lu Anyuan touched the chain mail, thinking that this must have been made by his father-in-law for Yixing. He was really trained as a boy. "My father didn't send me."
"No? Then what do you want me to do?" Xu Yixing was a little discouraged. He thought he could finally leave the capital and move to another place, but it turned out that he was overthinking.
"The Emperor sent my eldest brother there. He just asked us to let him know and ask us to help."
"With the character of the eldest prince, can he lead troops to fight?" Xu Yixing had absolutely no other meaning. He simply felt that the eldest prince was too straightforward. A commander-in-chief must have both strategy and courage. He has lost his military advisor Lu and only has courage left. What's the use of it?
"My eldest brother's teacher is the number one martial artist in Da Xia. He taught for such a long time, so of course there are some results." Lu Anyuan still has some warm memories of his eldest brother. At least among all the older brothers and sisters, his eldest brother was the only one who treated him well when he was a child.
Xu Yixing put his sword on the table with a thud. His face was not filled with relief, but rather a bit of disappointment. "It's okay for Wucai to teach how to fight."
"Why do I see that you are a little unhappy? Why, are you disappointed to know that I am not the one leading the troops?"
"That's not the case. It would be best if you didn't go to the frontline, but according to what you said, we will definitely win a great victory in this battle against the Little Song Kingdom. By then, the eldest prince will be even more powerful, and the situation will become even more complicated."
