Chapter 222 There is another general in the family
Lu Mansion, Zhaoyun Courtyard.
Lu Xinran listened to the servant's words with his mouth wide open, then turned around in shock to look at Lu Xinlan.
Why, why is this military report so sudden?
Since the Dana tribe had the military strength to capture Yucheng Pass, why didn't Qi Yu realize it before?
Was it because the incident really happened too suddenly, or was he blindfolded?
Could it be that someone among the defenders of Yucheng colluded with the Dana tribe, working together from inside and outside, making it difficult for Qi Yu to hold the city due to his serious injuries and forcing him to flee in humiliation?
If this is the case, and this person is not caught, even if the court sends reinforcements, Yucheng Pass will still not be recaptured.
If the situation continues to be serious, the capital city might be breached.
Pei looked at the shocked and bewildered expressions on their faces and sighed, "Qi Yu is seriously injured. Even if the court sends reinforcements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to retake Yucheng Pass."
[Yes, there is not a single capable general in the court right now. The Zhang family has been back in the capital for so many years, but the emperor has not yet trained a capable general. The emperor should really reflect on himself.]
The long-lost voice made everyone feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
Several people looked at each other silently, wondering why their thoughts had become so erratic.
Lu Xinlan lowered his eyes, agreeing with Lu Xinran's words in his heart.
The sudden attack by the Dana tribe was like a slap in the face of the emperor. If he could not effectively drive the Dana tribe back outside the Great Wall as soon as possible, the situation would become more serious and the entire Chu would be shaken.
"This matter is still far away from us. I called you here to tell you about this matter because I don't want you to say or do the wrong thing during this special period.
"We women don't need to worry about how to deal with these things. You don't have to worry too much. Just be cautious during this period of time."
Pei clapped her hands and signaled everyone to go back to their rooms.
Zhao felt uncomfortable seeing Lu Xinran these days. As soon as Pei finished speaking, she immediately got up and left without even glancing at the two sisters.
[Has she been kicked in the head by a donkey these days? Otherwise, why is she acting like an animal? ]
When Zhao, who had just walked out of the door, heard these words, she almost couldn't control her temper and wanted to rush in again and tear her mouth apart.
This damn girl!
I knew that she was incompatible with me. Since she returned to the capital, how many families have been in trouble?
She doesn't want to acknowledge this kind of person as her daughter!
Zhao suppressed her temper and walked quickly, but she still heard the lingering voice in her heart.
[Oh, why does she always act like she has congenital cerebral palsy? It turns out that my grandmother told her about my dowry.]
[As a mother, she was unwilling to make any arrangements, nor to spend a penny.]
[I was saying that she had been guarding me like a thief recently, so this is the reason.]
[I don't care about her dowry. The royal palace will always provide me with food and clothing. Besides, the dowry given to me by the Duke will be enough for me to live comfortably as long as I manage it properly.]
[She thought that everyone was like her, who valued the money in her hands very much, looked down on her grandparents and was unwilling to let go of the money and gifts they gave her.]
[It's disgusting to have such a mother who's a bitch and still wants to be a saint. 】
Speaking of the Yun family, Zhao paused for a moment as she hurried away.
The Zhao family was convicted because of the voice of this dead girl. If it weren't for her, she would still not know the real cause of her mother's death.
However, she gritted her teeth in anger, turned around and glared at the door, but finally strode away.
Lu Xinran complained about it and didn't forget to curse it with disdain, saying it was bad luck.
It was really unlucky for the original body to have such a mother.
Not wanting to think about the unlucky Zhao anymore, she turned her attention back to the seriously injured Qi Yu, "Grandmother, General Qi is seriously injured. Who will lead the troops in that city now?"
Without a capable and battle-hardened general, how could the breached Yucheng Pass be recaptured?
What if the people of the Dana tribe reach Yanmen Pass, will they escape or not?
She was thinking too much at this moment, and Pei said uncertainly after listening to her inner thoughts.
"There will always be a candidate, right? Hey, these are not things we need to worry about. Xinran, come and take a look. This is the dowry list that your grandmother prepared for you."
While she was speaking, Aunt Xu brought in a tray with a thick book on it.
Lu Xinran subconsciously stepped forward and took the booklet. She flipped through it casually. It listed all the odds and ends that Pei had asked Madam Xu to compile for dowry.
She looked at it in bewilderment, for she had no idea what a woman's dowry should include.
She looked to Lu Xinlan for help, but Lu Xinlan was also in a blind spot of knowledge.
But she was different. Her original body had to understand these things, so she could only bite the bullet and take the booklet.
"Grandma, the dowry you arranged for my sister must be the best, so don't let us decide for you."
She flipped through a few pages and immediately gave up. Even with her original body's memories, she couldn't read such trivial things.
Pei was very dissatisfied with their reaction, but thinking that Lu Xinran had not been in the capital before and didn't know much about these things, she stopped making things difficult for them.
She asked Aunt Xu to put the book away again, "You guys~ that's enough, I'll think about what else to add to the dowry, and Grandmother will definitely let you marry in style."
After leaving Zhaoyun Courtyard, the two sisters gathered together tacitly.
Lu Xinran was still thinking about the war at Yucheng Pass. The long-lost name Qi Yu reminded her of the queen in the deep palace.
"Sister, the Zhang family has another general!"
Lu Xinlan was confused for a moment and then suddenly realized who she was talking about.
"Your Majesty will not allow her to leave the palace."
Not in any way.
Moreover, the queen has lived in the imperial palace for many years, and her skills are probably no longer as good as they used to be.
"no!"
As if sensing her thoughts, Lu Xinran said hurriedly: "The queen has been practicing martial arts diligently over the years and has not missed a single day."
She never thought that she would be able to leave the palace, but the loneliness of practicing martial arts in the deep palace could take up most of her energy, so her martial arts skills never fell behind for a single day.
Lu Xinlan squeezed her hand and said, "This matter requires an opportunity, but it can't be initiated by the Queen, do you understand?"
It can't be the two of them who mentioned it.
If you want to help the queen, you need other people to push you.
Lu Xinran turned his head instantly and looked over the eaves towards the front yard.
"You mean?"
She squinted her eyes and Lu Xinlan smiled knowingly.
With such a voice in mind, it would not be difficult for Lu Jinchuan to take the initiative to mention the queen...
After the two sisters had a general idea, they went back to the yard.
In the study room in the front yard, Lu Jinchuan was still thinking about the conversation he had just "eavesdropped".
He originally wanted to go to the backyard to find Lu Xinran to test the waters, but as soon as he passed Zhaoyun Courtyard, he heard their conversation on the road.
In her early years, the queen had always had a reputation for being invincible at the border. If she had not married the emperor, she would still be in Yucheng Pass.
If her martial arts skills had not fallen behind, she might be the only one who could solve the urgent problem.
But, he cannot be the one pushing the issue.
He wasn't sure what the emperor was thinking, so he had to find someone to test it.
With an idea in mind, Lu Jinchuan hurried out. When the carriage was about to arrive at Prince Wei's Mansion, he changed his mind and changed his route to Song Junhua's Prince Jin's Mansion.
