There is a girl in the village

Lu Yuanchang left a hundred relatives for Gu Xiaofu, and brought the rest back to Fencheng. She returned to Fencheng despite the cold, wind and snow, and went straight to the General's Mansion. Song Dingtian has been staying there for the past few days to arrange the luggage. , planning a strategic plan, has not returned home for many days.

"General, the future is late." Lu Yuanchang saluted Song Dingtian.

"It's good to come back. I'm busy right now, General Wang, and tell General Lu about the military information you have gained. Let's go back to the house for dinner tonight." Song Dingtian said to Wang Chao.

"Yes, General." Wang Chao took the order and took Lu Yuanchang to his study.

"Cousin, what's going on? When the third brother came, he only said that the military situation was urgent, and pulled me away from the dinner table, but I really didn't know what to do. Why did Wang Shicheng die so well?" Lu Yuanchang drank Sipping hot tea, he asked anxiously.

She was originally a very calm person, and she would not be surprised when encountering major events, but Song Wenji only said half a sentence, and this time when she entered the general's mansion, the whole mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere. These situations had to make her be more vigilant.

"Wang Shicheng died on the night of New Year's Eve." Wang Chao sighed.

"Is there anything strange about his death? It can't be that he died of old age." Lu Yuanchang recalled that the reason why Wang Shicheng refused to return to the imperial court was old age and sickness, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that was an excuse.

"According to what our spies reported, Wang Shicheng vomited blood and died when he returned to the house after the dinner. The reason is still unknown. Last time he pretended to be sick, this gave the court a good excuse to cover up." Wang Chao said helplessly. He always has a sad feeling of a rabbit dying a fox.

"The command of the southern army is in the hands of Prince Mu, and this matter may have something to do with Prince Mu." Lu Yuanchang pondered.

"Who says it's not, but we know this in our hearts, but we can't say it." Wang Chao has experienced so many things, and gradually knows how to use his brain: "A Yuan, the investigation of Wang Shicheng's death can be postponed. I think he is a descendant of Wang Shicheng. He wouldn't let him die like this in vain. I'm afraid that a nominal title of the opposite sex will not satisfy the Wang family. The Wang family has been operating in the south for decades, so how could they be willing to be deprived of military power so arbitrarily? Let's just wait and see. The army is powerful, occupies a fertile land, has sufficient money and food, and Prince Mu has many means, if the royal family cannot be restrained and the military power is returned to the imperial court, it will be extremely unfavorable to us."

After hearing what Wang Chao said about the military situation, Lu Yuanchang began to meditate. The hot tea in his hand was billowing with white smoke, making his vision blurry.Wang Chao waited quietly for Lu Yuanchang, not daring to make any movement. Although he is a rough man, he is very good at judging the situation. The Zhenbei Army has the ability to break through such a dangerous situation. I am afraid that only Song Dingtian and Lu Yuanchang, the others He is good at war, but when it comes to conspiracy and tricks, how to compete with the new king and Prince Mu who are in the whirlpool of the court.

The room was extremely quiet, and Wang Chao sat stiffly. When he secretly changed his posture, Lu Yuanchang suddenly asked, "Recently, how is my cousin? How is the third princess?"

Wang Chao was confused by Lu Yuanchang's question. They were talking about things in the south, how could Lu Yuanchang suddenly think of his little sister.

"It's still safe, the third princess' mood has eased, and with Min'er by her side, the two of them are having a good time." Wang Chao said truthfully.

"Today, my father-in-law and mother-in-law asked me to go back home for dinner. Why don't I invite my cousin and the three princesses to go with me? It's the first month of the month, and the two of them are too deserted in the small building." Lu Yuanchang said lightly, but the look in her eyes But it shines brightly.

Gu Xiaofu is the first person who understands Lu Yuanchang, and the next row is Song Dingtian and Wang Chao. Wang Chao looked at Lu Yuanchang for a long time, and said quietly: "You really are a 'careful person', but this I have to tell my uncle about it, otherwise, Min'er might not even be able to get out of the courtyard door of the small building."

Lu Yuanchang could hear a little dissatisfaction in Wang Chao's heart. Although Wang Chao voluntarily imprisoned Wang Min for the sake of the overall situation, Wang Chao was inevitably a little pissed about the fact that they were brothers and sisters of flesh and blood. Does Chao have some complaints?

No one is wrong about this matter, Lu Yuanchang pretended not to hear Wang Chao's cryptic complaints, she boarded the high platform next to the small building, looked into the small building, and saw the three princesses and Wang Min making snowmen in the courtyard , seems quite carefree.

On the other end, Wang Chao personally begged Song Dingtian to let Wang Min go to the banquet. At first Song Dingtian refused to agree, but after Wang Chao reported everything about the study to Song Dingtian, Song Dingtian immediately agreed, and his face was tense for days. ease.

When the group arrived at the Song residence, Mrs. Song greeted her personally. Lu Yuanchang saluted Mrs. Song in the snow, but Mrs. Song pulled her up and complained: "We are at home, what are you doing with so much courtesy!"

"Mother-in-law, although there is a reason for the incident, my son-in-law left Yiniang in Luoxi Village, and my son-in-law apologizes to you." Lu Yuanchang said shamelessly.

"It's nothing to worry about. Your father-in-law has left our mothers and daughters in the capital for more than ten years. I have never said a word. Being a soldier is hard, and the family members of the soldiers are even harder. As a mother, I have experience, so I can understand , don’t worry about Yi’er’s pimples in her heart. When she comes back, she will speak for you as a mother.” Mrs. Song felt sorry for Lu Yuanchang. She had been driving for two days without rest, and the fatigue on her face could not be more obvious. , Song Wenji fell into a deep sleep after returning home, but Lu Yuanchang still had to support himself to make suggestions.

"My son-in-law thanked my mother-in-law for her pity. This time my cousin brought my cousin to have dinner with us. My mother-in-law is like a cousin's own mother. Please persuade me a lot." After Lu Yuanchang signaled to Song Dingtian, he took Mrs. Song away Snapper.

"A Yuan, there is no one here, just speak up." Mrs. Song is not a good person. When she was outside, she noticed that Song Dingtian and the others looked uncomfortable, Wang Chao was even more restless, and there was something in Lu Yuanchang's words. , she naturally understood that something happened.

"Mother-in-law, do you know about Wang Shicheng's death?" Lu Yuanchang stood close to Mrs. Song and asked, clasping his hands.

"I know. I know all about your military affairs. Just say what you want to say." Mrs. Song said with a serious face. She has followed Song Dingtian for dozens of years, and this matter is so important.

"It's so good, my son-in-law will speak up. Wang Shicheng died strangely. We all know about it. I'm afraid it was Lord Mu. Right now, my son-in-law is unclear about one thing." Lu Yuanchang told Mrs. Song that he knew everything about the Northern Army. The military sentiment was surprised, and it was expected that Song Dingtian had specially arranged for it. Obviously Mrs. Song was by no means a simple noble lady, and she was by no means a simple hostage in Beijing.

"What's unknown?" Mrs. Song asked, she began to believe in Song Dingtian's evaluation of Lu Yuanchang.

"Prince Mu and Xinjun are on the same team?" Lu Yuanchang leaned closer and said in a low voice.

"Why do you think so?" Mrs. Song asked in disbelief. Of course, her face was still so calm and calm. When it comes to the affairs of the capital, the dirty things below are no clearer than Song Wenji. Then the dirty things above Mrs. Song knew it very well.

The succession of the new monarch is not glorious. In the process of seizing the throne, there was the shadow of Lord Mu, but the clan strongly favored the new monarch, and several commanders of the forbidden army were also the new monarch. The important court officials headed by Prime Minister Wen were like The fish and meat on the board, under the military power, had no choice but to bow their heads and profess their ministers in order to seek a long-term solution.However, Lord Mu is a transcendent existence. He is the younger brother of the former emperor and the son of the concubine. The throne seems to have nothing to do with him. Of course, it's just that it is not so smooth in terms of legal system.

As for the relationship between the new king and Lord Mu, Mrs. Song felt that it was difficult to say. Mrs. Song was still surprised when Jun sent her to the southern border, but she was in the northern border at that time, so she couldn't find out the secret relationship between the two.

"Wang Shicheng is dead, and the military power has fallen into Lord Mu's hands. My triumvirate of powers has been broken. For our Northern Army, it has to be regarded as very bad news. If Lord Mu belongs to the new king, then our town The Northern Army thinks it has no strength to struggle. The original weakness of the imperial guards can be made up for, and with the financial and material support of the whole country, even if our army cooperates with Guo Daming, it will only delay the decline. However, if Prince Mu is not the new king, and he Under the guise of the new king's will, trying to accumulate power to seize the throne, then we will have a chance." Lu Yuanchang said solemnly, no wonder even Song Wenji was nervous, the current situation is indeed not good.

Mrs. Song was quite shocked by such a to-the-point statement. It was no wonder that Song Dingtian valued Lu Yuanchang so much. Her three sons combined might not be worth Lu Yuanchang.

"Did you tell your father-in-law about this idea?" Mrs. Song asked.

"As I said before, my father-in-law agreed. This time my father-in-law asked my son-in-law to ask my mother-in-law for a favor, so my son-in-law had no choice but to come here brazenly." Lu Yuanchang said shyly.

"Why didn't he come by himself, but asked you to come?" Mrs. Song said with a light smile.

"Father-in-law said that my son-in-law is handsome, and my mother-in-law likes me like this, and...Furthermore, my father-in-law said that my mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her. If you have anything to say, your mother-in-law will always agree." With a blushing face, he sold Song Dingtian away.

"That old bastard, look what nonsense you are talking about. If you have anything to ask for, let's talk about it." Mrs. Song scolded with a smile, but she thought Song Dingtian was right. Look at Lu Yuanchang's rosy white face right now. Little face, isn't it inviting to be loved?

Lu Yuanchang restrained his smile and said: "Mother-in-law, the most important thing for us now is to find out the relationship between Mr. Qing and Lord Mu, and this matter should fall on the third princess. My cousin is with the third princess every day. I heard that the two have been together for a long time. , The friendship is extraordinary, the son-in-law wants to bother his mother-in-law, and he has a good talk with his cousin, so that she must speak for our Zhenbei army in front of the third princess, if possible, it is best to let the third princess surrender."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Mrs. Song said, shaking her head lightly.

"My son-in-law has another plan. He should be able to scare the third princess. If my cousin persuades me, I think it will work." Lu Yuanchang said calmly.

Mrs. Song looked at Lu Yuanchang's confident look, and nodded lightly in agreement. It's no wonder that Gu Xiaofu fell in love with Lu Yuanchang. Such a person who can shoulder heavy responsibilities will indeed make people around him feel safe. What Gu Xiaofu lacks the most is this.

The whole family had a lively meal. Song Wenbo is going to go out with the army this time. He has been staying in the barracks for the past few days. Song Wenzhong was arranged by Song Dingtian to manage the people's livelihood in the Yamen of Fencheng Prefecture. When the army is going out, the allocation of military rations is the most important thing. That's why he was also very busy. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song served her husband for dinner, and from time to time they thoughtfully scooped up a bowl of soup. Perhaps they belonged to a meritorious family, and the woman did not express her heartbreak when the man went to the front line.

As for Song Wenji, he is the most leisurely one. He just got up, and his eyes are still a little sleepy. This time he was ordered to pick up Lu Yuanchang, which is already a big event. Song Dingtian also has a good face towards him, and Mrs. Song naturally feels distressed. The youngest son worked hard, only Song Sansao, who still ate lightly and took care of the youngest son, did not want to take half of her attention to Song Wenji.

Wang Min was quite touched by being able to have meals with her relatives. She only knows how to cherish it after she loses it. Although she can be with her beloved one in the small building, when the years pass by slowly, her heart will long for the warmth of family affection , especially during the New Year holidays, her life in that deserted small building was really difficult. She missed her parents who were far away, and her aunt and brother who were close at hand, but the current bustle made her feel like she was in a dream.

It's just that the excitement belongs to the Song family, Wang Min, and other people, not the third princess.

The three princesses were among them, and although she was treated politely by the Song family, she knew it was just a facade. She recalled that when she was in Rongdi and in the capital, she still had no sense of home. Looking at Wang Min who was moved by her side, The third princess suddenly felt at ease, maybe that small building is her home.

Are you tired? Are you tired?The third princess didn't know, she just said that the years passed like water, and slowly eroded her heart. She was very grateful for Wang Min's company, but she was unwilling. Indeed, she was unwilling and refused to admit defeat. She loved Wang Min. But she loves the lost power even more. She has enjoyed the taste of power, and she can't quit it anymore.

After dinner, Wang Min was taken into the Nuan Pavilion by Mrs. Song. In Mrs. Song's arms, Wang Min cried like a child, while the third princess straightened her back, showing the inherent nobleness of a princess. She entered Song Dingtian's study, she was not naive, she must have something to do with her abnormal travel today.
