"Remember, the real Li Wenchang was killed by Kubo long ago. The one we are seeing now is fake. We must keep our eyes open to distinguish the true from the false. We must not fall into the enemy's conspiracy!"
Li Wenhao turned his head and stared into Tiangang's big eyes, threatening him word by word.
"Oh, oh, I know!" Tiangang hugged her chest and nodded her head vigorously. She was frightened by Li Wenhao's fierce look.
After nightfall, the news finally came. Unexpectedly, the first person to receive the news was Xuan Mochen, who was stationed near Black Valley City with 20,000 Huaibei troops.
"You mean, Li Wenheng was defeated and was running toward me with his remaining troops, and you asked me to send troops to respond!"
Xuan Mochen was in the big tent, drinking and having fun with the generals, waiting for Li Wenheng to capture Langya King City, so that he could take advantage of the chaos and capture Heigu City in one fell swoop, and get all the credit for nothing.
But I never expected that after waiting for a day, I couldn't pick the peaches, and I had to send troops to rescue.
Xuan Mochen's face was extremely dark. When he looked at the wine in his hand, it immediately lost its aroma and he fell to the ground hard.
"Li Wenheng is an idiot. He is better than a pig, but he still wants me to rescue him. What a dream!"
"General, my young master is in danger. For the sake of the two in-laws, send troops quickly!" Hundreds of households begging for help kowtowed desperately. At this point, he had no other choice but to plead.
"Young master, if you are angry, you should be angry. How can this man be saved?"
Huang Ming, who had just been promoted from Qianhu to commander, tried to persuade him with a bitter look on his face. When Xuan Mochen sat down with a heavy breath, he leaned to his ear again and lowered his voice: "If we don't save him, what if something happens to Li Wenheng?"
Marquis Yang can’t explain anything!”
"Save, save this shit!"
Xuan Mochen's handsome face was twisted with anger, and he slapped the table hard: "Have you not heard about war elephants? The Langya Army actually has thousands of war elephants in their hands. How do you ask me to save them!"
"The young master is right. We only have 20,000 people. It's okay to stay in the camp, but we must not go out to fight with the war elephants!"
"Also, it's already dark now. How can we rescue people? It's better to wait until daybreak."
"Brother, I have an idea. If you don't like the Pattern Dragon, why don't you give him two thousand cavalry and let him rescue him?"
"Yes, yes, the five generals are right!"
"Patterned dragon?" Xuan Mochen glanced at his fifth brother and felt a little moved after listening to his subordinates' discussion.
Pattern Dragon was originally his sister Ziyi's bodyguard, but later became a cavalry commander under him, often making him unhappy.
In the past, I did it for the sake of my sister Ziyi, but now that Ziyi is married, I can just send him away and ask for help, so as not to stay here and be an eyesore.
"Come here, please pass my order to the general. Pattern Dragon will lead two thousand cavalry to rescue the Qingyang Army, and send another person back to report home!"
The order was given, and a group of two thousand black armored cavalry, holding torches, ran out of the Huaibei Army camp and galloped southward under the dark night sky.
"Commander, the eldest son just gave us two thousand cavalry. He clearly wants us to die!"
"Why don't we go find the lady? I heard from the brother who came back that Li Wenhao is not good to the lady."
"Yes, I have also heard that the young lady is like a fairy, and Li Wenhao is just an unpopular bastard. He dares to treat the young lady like this. He is worse than a pig or a dog. Let's go and support the young lady!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
The Patterned Dragon roared, stopping the discussion among his men. There was a burst of anger in his eyes, and he urged his horse to sit down: "The target is Huangtugang, the whole army should speed up!"
When the news reached the Huaibei Marquis Mansion, the Huaibei Marquis immediately summoned his counselors to discuss matters overnight.
In the back house, some people were happy and some were worried. The eldest lady broke the screen, and all the maids and women who were still waiting for the reward were dumbfounded.
The second lady was completely on the opposite side. She said that the epiphyllum she had raised had blossomed. Not only did she give the servant a reward, but she also asked the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes and boil a pot of wine.
When the eldest lady heard the report from her subordinates, she almost set the house on fire. Several of her servants were so unlucky that they were all dragged into the yard and beaten because they were ugly!
After Huaibei Hou finished his official duties, he returned to the inner house. He had already reached the door of the first lady, but when he heard the crying inside, he turned around inexplicably and went to the second lady's yard.
Well, this one pot of wine was not enough, so the kitchen quickly boiled another pot.
"Hongyi, my mother can't survive. Your father and your second mother are working together to make me angry!" The eldest lady ran to her precious daughter's show building to complain.
The second wife, the Huang family, has developed very well in the family in recent years. Her two brothers, Huang Tiehu and Huang Tiebao, one is in the military department of the court, and the other is leading troops to suppress bandits in the Central Plains.
In particular, the boss Huang Tiehu is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and there are rumors that he may be the next Minister of War.
It was not without reason that Concubine Xi agreed with Xuan Ziyi.
In the past, the Wu Xun family was not favored by major clans, but now as the world's turmoil intensifies, the status of military commanders is getting higher and higher.
Even if the eldest lady is the legitimate daughter of the Liu family with seven clans and eight surnames, she would not dare to take it out on the second lady, and even the Marquis of Huaibei would not agree.
Who knows if my natal brother will lead troops to attack the door.
Therefore, I felt extremely frustrated.
At this time, the Xiu Building was already empty. Only Xuan Hongyi was left, sitting blankly in front of the dressing cabinet with a pale face.
"Mom, brother really only sent two thousand people to rescue?"
"Hongyi, your brother has no choice but to do so!" When mentioning this, Mrs. Liu's expression was stern. No matter how good her daughter is, she still belongs to someone else!
Her son is her support in old age. How could she risk her precious son for the sake of a son-in-law?
"Mom, I'm tired!"
Xuan Hongyi's face was expressionless. How could she not know her mother's thoughts? When the news came in the evening, a few of the sisters really felt sorry for her, fearing that the joy in their hearts would be even greater.
Xuan Hongyi gave up her beloved husband and chose Li Wenheng, not because she valued Li Wenheng as his legitimate son, and the Li family promised that he would be made a marquis.
Now, all the calculations have come to nothing and have become a joke.
"Hongyi, don't worry too much. The Li family will definitely not give up and will definitely send people to support you." The eldest lady comforted her in a low voice.
"Mother!"
troops?
Come to think of it, dad will not send reinforcements for a son-in-law who is not yet married!"
"Hey, Hongyi, we women have to accept our fate. No matter what, Li Wenheng is his legitimate son. As long as he can save his life, it is better than Li Wenhao!" the eldest lady advised again.
"Maybe!" Xuan Hongyi muttered in a low voice to comfort herself, but a voice kept asking in her heart: "Is he really better than Li Wenhao?"
But if this is not the case and Li Wenhao becomes prosperous in the future, what should she do?
All kinds of ridicule and sarcasm came to my face.
Especially Xuan Ziyi, this concubine sister who has always been loved by everyone and put pressure on her.
This time she finally managed to win the battle, but if she failed again, she might as well die!
