In the 32nd year of Fengning, the war at Beiyuan Border Pass entered the final clean-up stage, which was also the most critical stage.
Border town station, Xiao Mansion.
"Where did you take this wild girl Qingyu? Why isn't she back at this time?"
Mei Shiniang held her second son Qingze, who was only half a year old, in her arms, rocking him and coaxing him, while looking out anxiously.
Qin Weishuang was walking towards Xiao's residence holding her two-year-old twins in one hand.
After hearing Mei Shiniang's words, Qin Weishuang comforted her and said: "Qingyu must have followed Qi Li and the others to suppress the bandits. Her martial arts skills are not even comparable to those of my Qi Li, so you can relax."
Mei Shiniang sighed: "I'm not afraid that she will be in danger outside. As wild as she is, I wish she would suffer a loss outside and have a long memory. She didn't listen to her grandfather's words two days ago and secretly
She led troops to ambush and was punished by her grandfather."
"That's good now. We don't let her go to the military camp. She runs out to suppress bandits. She really doesn't look like a girl at all. She can't settle down for a while, so I can save my worries."
Hearing her words, Qin Weishuang laughed: "There are no girls to support you. There are not many beautiful girls like your Qingyu in Beiyuan."
Mei Shiniang smiled and patted her: "Don't say this in front of her, otherwise her tail will rise to the sky again."
Mei Shiniang teased the two children she was holding and said, "Ayao and Ashuo are also very beautiful. You should praise them more."
Qin Weishuang said: "Oh, I'm so complimentary. Now A-Yao is so praised that she can't even hear bad words. Whoever says she's not good will understand immediately and will make trouble for you right away. But Ah-Shuo is so cute."
It’s very good and it makes me worry a lot.”
Mei Shiniang strongly agreed: "It's really strange. Nowadays, boys are obedient and girls are making trouble."
Just as she was talking, Mei Shiniang saw a group of people running from the end of the road from a distance. When she saw the leader, the smile on Mei Shiniang's face immediately disappeared, "It's bad, my father-in-law is back!"
The leader was none other than General Xiao Tong, who held a tiger talisman and had tens of thousands of elite soldiers. He had been fighting for Beiyuan for several years and was full of killing spirit.
Following him were the left forward General Qi Zhuoyi, Qin Weishuang's husband, and the right forward Xiao Yan, Xiao Tong's eldest son and Mei Shiniang's husband.
Behind Xiao Tong was a young man with a handsome face. Mei Shiniang looked very unfamiliar, but looking at the soldiers and generals supporting him, she guessed that it was the second prince Zhao Yelin.
Xiao Tong had told them in advance that the second prince Zhao Yelin was relegated to the border by the emperor, and the Xiao family would bring their generals to cleanse the second prince in the border town.
Xiao Yan glanced at the people standing at the door of Xiao Mansion, but did not see his daughter Xiao Qingyu.
Xiao Yan glanced at his wife: Where is Qingyu?
Mei Shiniang shook her head at him.
Xiao Yan's face immediately darkened. He had already promised her to be more peaceful these two days. Today he told her again that he would welcome the second prince here. It seemed that she had gone in one ear and out the other.
.
She won't need to be beaten later, and her father will probably have to punish her again.
Although the second prince came to the border ostensibly because he was reprimanded by the emperor, in fact it was to protect him and keep him away from the internal strife in the palace. It is very likely that the future throne will fall on this second prince.
Xiao Tong and others got off their horses and headed towards the mansion.
Xiao Tong walked up to Mei Shiniang, reached out and pinched Xiao Qingze's face, glanced at her, and asked her, "Where is Qingyu?"
Mei Shiniang coughed and looked at her husband. She did not want her daughter to be punished by her father-in-law again.
"Um, dad..." Xiao Yang was just about to open his mouth to cover for his daughter and help her first this time, when he heard a burst of excited shouts accompanied by the sound of galloping horses.
Xiao Yan looked hopeless and stood with Mei Shiniang, looking at the few people running from a distance.
"Hahahaha, grandma, I'm back! I hunted game for you to replenish your health!"
Hearing this clear and joyful voice, Zhao Yelin turned around and saw a girl in red at the front. She was holding a flag in her hand and running towards them with a cheerful face.
Zhao Yelin grew up in Beijing, in a palace full of fights and intrigues, and saw all kinds of women.
But he had never seen such a warm and bright girl.
"Hey!!!" Xiao Qingyu rode her horse and stopped in front of Xiao's Mansion. Seeing so many generals gathered in front of Xiao's Mansion, she realized what her father and mother had told her before, that a man from the capital would come today.
Noble man, I want to help this noble man wash away his dust.
Xiao Qingyu looked at her father and mother with a solemn face, and then saw her grandfather looking at her with stern eyes. She smiled and got off her horse, jumped in front of her grandfather Xiao Tong, and handed the bandit flag to her with a smile on her face.
In front of him: "General Xiao~ I've put this bandit in a pot, can you always give me permission to go back to the military camp?"
Xiao Tong took the flag in her hand and snorted: "They are just a bunch of rabble, but they deserve your happiness."
Hearing what Xiao Tong said, Xiao Qingyu took out a flag from nowhere and gave it to him: "What about this one?"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened when he saw this flag. Isn't this the flag of the rebels who have been fighting an ambush with them these days?
Looking at the patterns above, this is at least a squad of a hundred people.
Xiao Yan glanced at the people behind Xiao Qingyu. There were only Qi Li and a few guards following Xiao Qingyu. How did she capture those people? Her father had taken away her military power. She had no right to mobilize troops now.
Send generals.
Xiao Tong saw the flag in his hand and asked her, "How did you get it?"
Xiao Qingyu looked proud: "Of course I captured it. I have been dealing with several bandit leaders in Qingfengling for half a year. Their boss saw my beauty and had evil intentions, so I followed suit.
He coaxed him for a while. These bandit leaders were just tall but not smart. I coaxed him casually and was so coaxed that I became dizzy."
Mei Shiniang looked at her daughter with wide eyes, shook her head and sighed, how could her daughter get married with such a wild temperament?
Xiao Tong listened patiently as his granddaughter described how she had established a good relationship with the bandits, allowing them to obtain the rebels' marching routes and camping sites, and then led dozens of bandits to quietly rebel against the small group.
The army was ambushed.
After disposing of the rebels, she betrayed the bandits again. Now the bandits were half-coaxed and half-threatened by her and have entered the Xiao family camp.
Xiao Tong patted Xiao Qingyu's forehead with his hand and said with a smile: "Little trick, if I hadn't looked at you, would you have gone to the mountains and become a female bandit?"
Xiao Qingyu touched her forehead and stuck out her tongue at Xiao Tong: "Even if I am a female bandit, I will still be the most powerful bandit. I guarantee that all the bandits near Yunzhou will be under my command."
The generals standing aside laughed when they heard Xiao Qingyu's words.
"Little General Qingyu is so awesome! Much stronger than me!"
"Send this powerful female general to Chisang. With her deceiving skills, Chisang will be assigned to our Beiyuan!"
"Hahahahaha."
Everyone laughed and looked at Xiao Qingyu with doting expressions.
Xiao Qingyu grew up in the border area and followed her grandfather and father. She was taught martial arts by them and was also popular among the generals. Whenever she made a mistake, everyone would help cover it up if they could.
.
Xiao Qingyu put his hands on his waist and said, "I can always go back now, right?"
"Sister, you should become a female bandit, hahaha." Xiao Changfeng reached out and took the spear away from Xiao Qingyu's hand.
"Hey, that brat just grabbed my gun, bring it here!" Xiao Qingyu snatched the gun back in a few strokes and tripped the eleven-year-old Xiao Changfeng to the ground with one kick.
In an instant, the generals all started to cheer.
Standing in the crowd, Zhao Yelin quietly looked at this lively girl with a beautiful face. She obviously made a mistake, but she was not afraid of being blamed by her father and grandfather.
Xiao Tong has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and even his generals are very afraid of his majesty, but Xiao Qingyu is not afraid at all.
But seeing that Xiao Tong also liked this granddaughter very much, he actually saw a smile on his face.
