MTL - After Reincarnating, an Evil Consort Only Wants to Torture Scums-Chapter 496 498: I must protect my fourth brother
The earth dragon is burning in the house, which is extra warm in this cold night.
As soon as Qiao Jingru entered the room, she couldn't help her eyes turning red when she saw Lu Xiang.
Obviously she is older than Lu Xiang, but most of the time she is like a helpless child in front of Lu Xiang. The calmness she pretended to be in Qiao's family suddenly collapses in front of Lu Xiang.
"Xiangxiang!" Qiao Jingru choked up and called out.
Lu Xiang took Qiao Jingru's hand, took her to the table and sat down, and ordered Yunzhe to serve hot tea.
"Is sister-in-law doing it for Brother Qiao?"
"You also know?"
Lu Xiang nodded: "Aman saw it on the street today."
Yun Zhe poured Qiao Jingru a cup of hot tea, Qiao Jingru took it and took a sip, then looked at Lu Xiang eagerly, and said, "Xiangxiang, I know that I am in a difficult position, but I don't know anything except looking for you. Who are you looking for?"
Lu Xiang stared at Qiao Jingru, and asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law wants me to ask the empress to let Brother Qiao stay?"
Qiao Jingru shook her head violently when she heard the words: "No, Minister of the Ministry of War is Liu Xiang's man, it is absolutely impossible for him to let go of his mouth and leave fourth brother behind, not to mention that fourth brother is doing what he should do, we can't do it for ourselves. I don’t care about the people of Changcheng because of selfishness. I heard that He Zhiyi, the prince of Marquis of Wu’an, will go with me this time. Let him take care of the fourth brother when the time comes. Don’t ask the fourth brother to make great contributions. cannon fodder."
She has a good relationship with He Zhiyan, but He Zhiyi is the son of Mrs. Wu Anhou. Mrs. Wu Anhou has never looked at He Qiaoyan well, and He Zhiyi may not listen to He Zhiyan, so after much deliberation, she still has to find someone Lu Xiang.
For the empress's sake, He Zhiyi must show some kindness.
This time the leader is Yong Yihou. He is the old man of the second prince, who belongs to Liu Xiang's party. If he doesn't pay attention to the fourth brother, it's fine. You will be able to return safely.
But I'm afraid that Yong Yihou will go crazy and know the identity of the fourth brother, so he will deliberately fight against him. Then it will be unknown whether he will die on the battlefield or at the hands of his own people.
If they were killed in battle, they would have nothing to say, even if they were plotted against by Marquis Yong Yi, it would be too wronged.
Lu Xiang nodded: "Okay."
If what the sister-in-law wanted was to let Fourth Brother Qiao stay in the capital, things might be a bit tricky. As she said, the Ministry of War is Liu Xiang's people, and then it will attract Liu Xiang's attention, and it might be a mess.
But if he just sent a message to He Zhiyi and asked him to take care of Brother Qiao, it wouldn't be difficult.
He Zhiyi is a member of the Eighth Prince, so if Chu Jinyan said something, he would naturally try his best to protect each other.
At the same time, Qiao Yuanan also came out of the palace in the dark.
He is the number one scholar, and Chen Hanlin intends to cultivate him, so he took him into the palace to discuss policies. Although he couldn't say a word from the beginning to the end, this was also an opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor.
The cold wind blowing on my body at night made it even more biting.
He didn't take a carriage or a sedan chair, he just walked on the street lit with candles.
The capital city at night is different from the liveliness of the day. It is far away from the battlefield and is always full of laughter.
Someone was releasing river lanterns by the river, and Qiao Yuanan sat under the tree, silently watching the lanterns slowly drifting in the river. Halfway through the float, the lanterns turned upside down and then sank into the water.
Not far away, a girl's excited voice came from a carriage: "Stop, stop!"
Chapter 264
"What's wrong?"
Shen Pin lifted the curtain of the car and ran outside, without turning his head, he said to Shen Chi inside: "I saw Qiao Yuanan, brother, go back first."
Shen Chi looked at his sister who ran away without a trace before he agreed, and his face turned dark.
This stinky girl who forgets her brother when she sees sex.
She didn't think about letting herself go back first, how would she go back home later?
The coachman glanced at Shen Chi in a daze: "Master, are you... still leaving?"
"Wait." Shen Chi gritted his teeth.
Qiao Yuanan was fascinated by the sight, and then felt someone sitting down beside him, subconsciously turned around, and saw Shen Pin's shallow smile: "Qiao Yuanan, what a coincidence."
"Hello, Miss Shen." Qiao Yuanan nodded slightly to her, and said politely.
"Why are you here?"
"Think about something."
Shen Pin rested his chin with both hands: "What are you thinking, let's talk about it, maybe I can give you an idea."
Qiao Yuanan smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen, for your kindness."
Seeing this, Shen Pin let out a little disappointment, and then found a topic by himself: "Brother has something to do with Mr. An, so I went with him. He went to talk to Mr. An, and I went to talk to Song Zhenzhen. Come out from An Guogong's mansion."
"What about you, why are you still on the street so late?"
Qiao Yuanan felt that he and Shen Pin were not familiar enough to discuss private matters, but seeing the girl asking him with a gentle smile, it was not easy to refuse to answer her face, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "I just came out of the palace. .”
"Entering the palace so late must be because of the battle in Changcheng. My elder brother went to find Duke An for this matter. Although my father won a battle, the strength of the army is a bit worse than that of the Western Jin Dynasty. We just wait for the court. Send reinforcements over there."
Hearing this, Qiao Yuan'an suddenly remembered that the enemy attacked Changcheng, and General Shen who led his troops to save Changcheng was Shen Pin's father. , when the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, we will be able to take back Qixia Pass in one fell swoop."
Shen Pin smiled slightly, with high spirits: "I also think my father is very powerful."
"The people Jing Yi admires the most are An Guogong and General Shen. This time, he can fight against the enemy with General Shen. I think he will be very happy." Infected by Shen Pin's self-confidence, Qiao Yuan'an couldn't help but relax.
"Is your fourth brother going to fight too?" Shen Pin had a deep affection for Qiao Yuan'an, so he naturally inquired about his family's population, and knew that Jing Yi he was talking about was the fourth son of Qiao's family.
Qiao Yuanan nodded: "Well, he wants to join the army wholeheartedly, and this time to support Changcheng, it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish."
"Ah, what a coincidence." Shen Pin said, blinking suddenly, and said: "Fourth brother is on the battlefield for the first time, so you are sitting here absent-mindedly, my eldest brother is also going out with the army this time, don't worry, I I will definitely ask my elder brother to protect my fourth younger brother, so that I can return to the capital unscathed."
