Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

This is indeed good news. Going to Yun State first and then to Huxiang makes Lu Zhiyao feel more at ease.

But after all, she was the daughter she raised, and she didn't want Gu Qinghe to take so many responsibilities on her.

Worry, pride, anger, helplessness, all kinds of emotions mixed together and swelled in her heart.

After all, he was a child raised by her and Chen Qingshan. He looked like her and him.

Lu Zhiyao thought that she was not as courageous as Gu Qinghe. Her hands might never be able to pick up a silver needle again. Life and death were determined by fate. She was not a savior.

She resented herself for saving so many people, but no one could save the one she loved, and her family was torn apart, but she clearly had never done anything bad.

Qinghe is braver than her, tougher than her, and can endure more hardship than her.

When she was a child, her mischievous personality was very similar to Lu Zhiyao, but when she grew up, she became very similar to Chen Fanzhi.

I want to take charge of all the things and provide a good life for her.

As a result, she never talked to Lu Zhiyao about the troubles in the capital. If it weren't for Uncle Fu, Lu Zhiyao would probably not know how much suffering she had endured in the capital.

Lu Zhiyao thought that she was not a good mother.

The charcoal fire in the brazier made crackling sounds. Gu Qinghe hugged her waist and nestled in her arms like they did when they were children. He whispered, "New Year's Day is coming soon. I will try to come back before the New Year."

Lu Zhiyao nodded, "Okay."

But there was less than a month left until the Chinese New Year, and it would take at least half a month to travel from Chizhou to Yun State at any speed. Even if she didn't eat, drink or sleep, she would not be able to get back before the New Year.

……

Shao Wei quickly accepted Gu Qinghe's plan to go to Yun State.

Lirang has already taken action and even sent people in a despicable way to burn Ruichao's food and supplies.

Chizhou is remote. If something happens to the food and fodder, it will take a long time to send it here. There is not much food and fodder in the surrounding cities, and even if it is borrowed, it will not be enough for the soldiers to eat and drink.

His men captured several disguised Lirang soldiers, but they committed suicide one after another before they could even wait for interrogation.

Wei Yanzhou knew the seriousness of the matter, and put aside his own carelessness. The two of them were in rare harmony, standing in the tent to discuss tactics.

The deputy generals around Shao Wei looked down on Wei Yanzhou at first. When it came to eating, drinking and having fun, no one in the capital could compare to this prince, but things on the battlefield were nothing but talk to him.

What's more, his purpose of coming to Chizhou was not to stay in the military camp.

But when the conversation started, the deputy general's disdainful look gradually disappeared and he became serious.

Wei Yanzhou pointed to a point on the map, his eyes full of solemnity, "With so many soldiers guarding, why did they let these Lirang soldiers sneak in? If the purpose of the Lirang soldiers sneaking in this time is not to burn the food and grass, but to spread Huxiang's poisonous insects? Then wouldn't the barracks be in chaos now?"

Shao Wei frowned slightly. He had already called the centurion who neglected his duty last night for interrogation. Part of the reason why these Lirang soldiers were able to sneak in was because the guards were lax.

In addition, the centurion had sneaked into the city with a few of his soldiers the night before to enjoy some good time, and his wandering mind had not yet returned, so he was naturally a little absent-minded.

The Lirang soldiers were disguised and carried a very fast-acting drug. With just a few words, they knocked the guarding soldier unconscious and killed him silently.

If the soldiers patrolling that night had arrived in time, such serious consequences would not have occurred.

But the patrolmen were too lax.

Shao Wei was extremely angry. After finding out what happened, he took the centurion to the parade ground and chopped him to pieces in front of all the soldiers.

At this time, dereliction of duty would not only cost him his own life, but also the lives of the soldiers themselves and the lives of the people in Chizhou City who trusted them.

"What do you think General Shao will do next?"

Wei Yanzhou looked at him.

Shao Wei raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Of course we should give them a taste of their own medicine. Since Li Rang wants to burn our grain warehouse, let them also have a taste of the feeling of having their grain destroyed."

"Aren't you afraid that the Lirang people will become desperate and attack us together with Hu Xiang?"

"Does Prince Wei know why Li Rang has been hesitant to attack?"

Wei Yanzhou could naturally guess what was going on, but he still didn't think highly of Shao Wei's approach. "Even if the cooperation between Huxiang and Lirang hasn't been properly discussed, General Shao's approach is still too aggressive. If this fails, not only will we lose people, but it will also boost Lirang's morale."

The deputy general stepped forward and said, "General, I am willing to do this. I will leave it to you. I will ensure that the task is completed."

Shao Wei curled his lips and called Gao Cun over, "You and Deputy General Liu pick a few skilled soldiers to go with you, and go back to Doctor Gu to get some drugs. It's not important whether to burn the food or not, just kill all the Lirang soldiers you meet on the way."

Gao Cun's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

Wei Yanzhou's expression was extremely ugly. "You act so recklessly. Do you really care about the lives of your soldiers?"

Shao Wei did smile this time, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Prince Wei, on the battlefield, it is because I care about the lives of these soldiers that I want to end this war as soon as possible."

"Lirang is extremely greedy. They pretend to surrender but still covet our Rui Dynasty's cities. Since this war is unavoidable, it is best to end it as soon as possible. Even if Lirang's soldiers didn't come last night, I still have plans for today."

"Hu Xiang has not taken any action yet. It is obvious that he has not yet reached an agreement with Li Rang. Even if there is a deal, it may not be stable. If he does not start the war now, does he have to wait until Hu Xiang and Li Rang are united before fighting?"

"I still have things to do. If Prince Wei wants to continue discussing this, please wait until I'm done."

After saying that, he opened the tent and walked out. He walked around the recruit training ground and called Ming Sheng out.

During the time he was in the military camp, Mingsheng had become darker and more dressed up, looking much more mature than his age.

Fortunately, Mingxuan left early, otherwise she would have been heartbroken if she had seen it.

"General, do you have something to talk to me about?" Ming Sheng's eyes were bright.

Shao Wei glanced at him, said nothing, and suddenly attacked.

Ming Sheng was startled and quickly defended himself. Realizing that Shao Wei was testing his skills, Ming Sheng was no longer hesitant and started fighting with him directly.

Although his family did not support him, Mingsheng's martial arts skills were still pretty good. His family indulged him and even hired some masters to teach him martial arts.

It's not a problem to defeat Shao Wei in a few moves.

After testing him, Shao Wei stopped and looked at him. "I have a mission for you, but it's a little dangerous. Do you want to go?"
