I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

On the first day of the New Year, people visit various households to pay New Year's greetings. Although New Year's Eve is also the first day of the New Year, it does not have so many rules.

So after early in the morning, Jiang Yuan's friends arrived at Jiang's house one after another.

There are no elders in the Jiang family, so everyone can act more freely.

Qu Jin brought Qu Ying and Qu Ran with him. Shu He also recovered and was sent to Jiang's house by his brother Yu Xingchuan himself.

The two elder brothers of the Qu family went to meet friends, and Yu Xingchuan also had an event.

The three sisters who were on good terms with Shuhe and who were the first group to buy the incense pills from Jiang Yuan also arrived, as well as the two younger sisters of Lord Wu's family, who were studying in the private school where Qu Ying studied.

Xie Yunxiao, Zhou Qian'an and Xue Yangling were together, but they were all girls. The three of them came over, gave gifts, and then left.

The happiest ones were Jiang Mu and Jiang Lin. All the brothers and sisters who came prepared small New Year gifts for them. They were so happy that their eyes narrowed into a straight line.

Jiang Yuan also prepared New Year gifts for all the sisters, and they had a really lively time the whole day.

They didn't go home until the afternoon. They had to eat the New Year's Eve dinner at home and stay up all night.

After everyone left, Xie Yunxiao came back.

Seeing off the guests at the gate, Jiang Yuan ran over to Xie Yunxiao, who was wearing a dark blue cape, holding an umbrella, and smiling gently. He naturally took his hand and asked, "Why are you here?"

"We have to go home for dinner. The lights on the street are on. Why don't you take a walk and come back for dinner?" Xie Yunxiao tilted his umbrella towards Jiang Yuan, and some snowflakes fell on his shoulders.

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, said something to Brother Liu, and left holding hands.

Although the two of them often appear together, they both ride horses to and from get off work.

They only go shopping occasionally, and there is no such intimate behavior, so the rumors about them are just groundless.

But today is different. On the bustling street, all the shops on both sides are lighting lanterns, and the small vendors are also lighting festive lanterns, making the whole street as bright as day.

These two people, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, were walking hand in hand on the street and were recognized at once.

Standing on the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, looking at a stall selling paper-cuts not far away, a man wearing a red cloak, holding a small and exquisite paper-cut in his hand, smiling brightly at the people around him, Qin Mo couldn't take his eyes away for a long time.

It turns out that the rumors are true.

Starting from the third day of the first lunar month, ministers' homes began to hold banquets frequently. Jiang Yuan received many invitations, but she only went to the Hou Mansion and the Yu Mansion.

No one else cared much about it. After all, the dates of everyone's banquets might overlap, so it was normal to go to one and not another.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the court officially opened. Jiang Yuan planned to have a good rest at home and burn some more incense.

She planned to take a team to the south to visit her brother and help out after the New Year.

It might take several months for this trip, so we should make the incense in advance so as not to delay making money.

Unexpectedly, just on the tenth day of the first lunar month, an express train of 800 miles away broke the peaceful atmosphere of the New Year.

The battle in the east was a great defeat.

When General Xu heard that his son was seriously injured, he went to the palace gate with red eyes to ask to see His Majesty.

Jiang Yuan and Xie Yunxiao were sitting in the room playing chess when Qu Jin came running in. Only then did they realize something had happened.

Soon, the emperor's decree arrived at Jiang's residence. The eunuch who delivered the decree went to Xie's residence first. Xie Yunxiao was not there, so he went directly to Jiang's residence and called the two of them into the palace together.

Outside the Council Hall, there were many dignitaries standing there. Almost all the military generals in the court had arrived, and several ministers had also arrived.

According to Jiang Yuan's rank, he does not need to attend court. Every time he enters the palace, he stays in the imperial study. This is his first time in the Council Hall.

When Qu Hou saw Jiang Yuan and Xie Yunxiao, he walked towards them with a sullen face.

"My Lord, Uncle Qu." The two of them bowed quietly.

Qu Hou looked very unhappy, "I just received an urgent message from the East Territory, which is eight hundred miles away. The East Territory was badly defeated, and they requested the court to send troops to support them.

General Xu was seriously injured and his life or death is unknown at this time."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked at General Xu who was standing at the front and pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Where is General Fang? Where is Fang Jinyu? Only General Xu was injured?" Jiang Yuan asked back.

Qu Hou shook his head, "I don't know yet, but now is not the time to consider this issue. I'm afraid the emperor will have to send another commander to the eastern border.

General Xu's injury is definitely related to General Fang, the main general, so General Xu cannot go.

Now the only ones who can lead troops to the east are the general and me.

I think..."

Before Lord Qu finished speaking, Jiang Yuan spoke first, "Uncle Qu, I'll go with you."

Lord Qu looked at Jiang Yuan, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He didn't want Jiang Yuan to follow him for the same reason he didn't want General Xu to go. They both held grudges against the Fang family's father and son, and if they went there, there would probably be a civil war first.

Xie Yunxiao looked at Jiang Yuan, then at Lord Qu, and said, "Lord, A Yuan needs real battlefield experience, this is an opportunity.

She knows the priorities and will not take revenge on others. If possible, please agree to A Yuan's request, My Lord.

And I want to go with you.”

Xie Yunxiao was originally a commander who could lead troops in battle, and he was just a temporary position in the Flying Tiger Camp. Qu Hou did not mention all of them when going to the East Border this time. In addition to him and the general, Xie Yunxiao was also a good choice.

The door of the council hall opened and all the officials walked inside. Jiang Yuan and Xie Yunxiao also followed Lord Qu into the hall.

The emperor looked very unhappy and went straight to the point, talking about the urgent journey of 800 miles to the east and asking which general was willing to lead the troops there.

The general moved slightly, but was grabbed by Qu Hou, who stepped forward before him, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops there."

The emperor did not say much, just said "OK", which was considered as his agreement to let Marquis Qu lead the troops.

If Lord Qu goes, then Qu Jin will naturally go with the Qu family army, as well as the two young masters of the Qu family.

"My Lord, should we take the two young generals and Qu Jin with us?"

Marquis Qu glanced at the person standing not far away and said, "Your Majesty, I request your permission to order General Xie Yunxiao, General Xie, and Jiang Yuan to accompany me."

The emperor was a little surprised and looked at the two people who were staring at him with burning eyes. It was nothing. Xie Yunxiao was capable of leading troops, and Jiang Yuan wanted to become a female general, so it was inevitable for her to gain experience on the battlefield.

Besides, with her temper, it might be hard for other commanders to control her. Only Lord Qu can control her. It would be a good thing for her to gain experience with Lord Qu.

Seeing that the emperor was about to nod his head in agreement, Qin Mowei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Jiang Yuan is a girl after all, so it is better for her to stay in the capital.

What's more, the training of the soldiers in the Flying Tiger Camp was also thanks to Jiang Yuan, so it would be safer for her to stay in the Flying Tiger Camp."

Jiang Yuan never expected that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear in the middle of the road. Qin Mowei was the key figure, so what was the use of him jumping out to oppose?
