By the time Xia Jin finished everything and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already approaching evening.
Returning to the General's Mansion, Xia Jin looked in the direction of the Anning Home, thinking about the old lady in her heart. She didn't know if she had eaten the noodles she had cooked for her. After much thought, she decided to go and have a look.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Ningyuan, I saw the spy reporting to the old lady.
"Old lady, news just came from Lincheng that the general has arrived in Lincheng, but the situation in Lincheng is not good, so his return will have to be postponed!"
The old lady asked worriedly: "Did something happen in Lincheng?"
"The rebels in the city knew that the general was coming to quell the rebellion, so they drove out the people in the city to use them as human shields. Now the people live outside the city. If they want to enter the city, they have to kill all the people, so the general has to temporarily camp on the spot.
Wait for your chance!”
The old lady frowned, "I understand, go down and report back to me if you have any news!"
The spy walked out of the house and the old lady looked at the window.
"come in!"
Xia Jin opened the door and walked in.
"Did you hear everything just now?" the old lady asked.
"I'm going to find the general!" Xia Jin said.
"Jin'er is worried about Ziyi. Grandma knows and understands it! But you are a woman after all. How can a woman go to the battlefield?" The old lady sighed.
"What we can do now is to believe in Zi Yi!"
"Just let me go! I might be able to help the general. Besides, this whole thing started because of me. I feel uneasy if I sit here and do nothing!" Xia Jin said.
Looking at the determination in Xia Jin's eyes, the old lady advised:
"Jin'er married into the General's Mansion, she is a member of the General's Mansion, and was protected by Zi Yi. That is normal. There is no need to feel any psychological burden!"
"Grandma, I..."
"Okay, no need to say more. I will listen to my grandmother on this matter. We won't go. Let the men handle the men's affairs! You take good care of your health at home!"
The old lady held Xia Jin's hand and said, "It is your important responsibility to give birth to a son and a half for the General's Mansion!"
Xia Jin opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but felt it was unnecessary.
"Grandma, have a good rest. Jin'er will go down first."
"Well, go back and have a good sleep, don't think too much!" the old lady reassured.
Xia Jin nodded, turned around and left the Ning Ningyuan.
"If the old lady doesn't allow it, will Miss still go?" Si Ji asked.
Xia Jin glanced at half of the sky where the setting sun had turned red, "Of course I want to go!"
Do you want to be obedient and stay in the house to carry on the family line?
This is not Xia Jin’s style of doing things!
It was night, and the moonlight was getting higher. Xia Jin took Si Si and Li Qiang out of the general's mansion. Mo Tuo had arrived early in the carriage and was waiting outside.
"My boss, we have prepared a map in the carriage, as well as enough dry food for the journey. The guards at the city gate have also been arranged. We can set off now!" Mo Tuo said.
Xia Jin, Li Qiang, and Si Ji got on the bus together and arrived at the city gate not long after. Mo Tuo was driving outside and showed the customs clearance letter. The guard let them through without saying a word.
The customs clearance certificate can quickly pass the city gate checkpoint, but it is the night curfew time, and Mo Tuo's management and Qin Hao'ou's relationship are indispensable for smooth exit.
"Motuo, do you know how to get to Lincheng?" Xia Jin opened the car curtain and looked at the mountain road ahead.
From a distance, it looks pitch black. It is very dangerous to drive a carriage at night. Not only will you encounter wild animals, but you may also roll down the hillside or simply drive the carriage into a pond because you are not clear about the road conditions.
Mo Tuo used to be a bandit, and it was common for him to travel at night. In addition, during this period of time, he was driving escorts. In order to speed up, he often traveled at night, so it was not difficult for him to drive at night.
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely deliver the boss to Lincheng safely as quickly as possible!" Mo Tuo said confidently.
