Chapter 1019: His wife’s son is here

Jiang Jiuniang said "Yes" and said: "Since this is your first time, I won't argue with you this time. I am here today because I have something important to explain."

The old general was drugged and still a little dizzy. He didn't react as quickly as usual. He just listened to what Jiang Jiuniang said without any intention of refuting.

"Wu Jiaming used the blood of children to make elixirs, causing trouble for the people, and offended Lord God. Lord God thinks this is because your emperor is not strict in his rule, and will punish the entire Dongting."

The old general was shocked, but said nothing.

Jiang Jiuniang continued: "When Lord God is angry, Wu Jiaming will die within a month. The old general should make plans early."

After saying that, she slapped the person unconscious and Jiang Jiuniang left quickly.

The purpose of this deception was to get the old general to react to Emperor Dongting, and to suppress the Wu family to a certain extent, causing their civil strife to become more serious, so that Bei Yan would be more relaxed.

After leaving the old general's camp, Jiang Jiuniang left the military camp without any stop. With her ability, there was no obstacle to entry and exit.

She returned to the inn, and the dog fell asleep alone. Perhaps because of her absence, he slept uneasily and woke up instantly when he heard the sound of the door opening.

"Mother, you are back!"

He threw off the quilt and ran out of bed, looking very excited.

"I'm back, go back to sleep."

When going upstairs, Jiang Jiuniang asked the second brother on night duty for water, and soon the second brother brought the water.

There's not a lot of people in the inn recently, except for the couple who have been staying there for several days, so they're somewhat familiar with each other.

The waiter said with a smile: "Madam is finally back. The young master has been refusing to sleep before!"

Jiang Jiuniang said: "I had no choice. I went to buy a batch of grain, but I encountered trouble on the road. The convoy I originally hired ran away. I had to come back to the city to find someone. In the middle of the night, the officers and soldiers who originally guarded the city did not open the door. I was brought in. Fortunately, I had proof of my previous stay at the inn and my ID tag was pledged before I was let in. Otherwise, I would have really had to spend one night outside the city tonight."

Regardless of whether the waiter wanted to inquire or not, Jiang Jiuniang had to tell the news about her coming to the city in the middle of the night to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

The waiter felt a little surprised. He knew that this lady was a doctor and her family was in business. She often left early and came back late. He thought she was discussing business in the city or going to collect medicine outside the city. Unexpectedly, she often went to buy food. .

There was a war going on at the border right now, and the price of food was soaring, but she could still buy a lot, and her strength should not be underestimated.

Knowing that this was a person with status, the second brother's smile became more sincere and said: "Madam, if you need it, I can ask our shopkeeper. A friend of our shopkeeper has a fleet of cars, and he may be able to help. Get busy."

"That's great. If you can help me, please ask. If it's convenient, I can go with me to transport food outside the city early tomorrow morning."

As she said this, she put a piece of silver into the second brother's hand. She estimated that it would be one or two, which was equivalent to more than half a month's income.

"This is a little bit of gratitude, please don't take it personally."

"Madam, you are so polite. Don't worry, I will handle it for you! Even if it is inconvenient for our shopkeeper's friend, I will help you find another fleet."

That's what Jiang Jiuniang meant. Having someone to help run errands saved her from having to do the work herself.

The next morning, Jiang Jiuniang took her dog downstairs for dinner. The shopkeeper personally entertained her and asked her if she needed a convoy, how many goods there were, how far the journey was, and so on.

Jiang Jiuniang explained the basic information, and then negotiated the price, and the shopkeeper ran away happily.

After the mother and son finished eating, the shopkeeper came with his friend. He was a man with a beard. He looked very tough, but also quite polite. Seeing that Jiang Jiuniang was a woman, she was afraid of scaring others with her voice. It was so gentle that it almost sounded like a jingle.

Jiang Jiuniang felt his attentiveness and treated him with courtesy.Jiang Jiuniang told them the location and asked them to go collect the goods. She had no intention of following.

The big man was a little surprised, he didn't expect her to trust him so much.

The convoy went out from the north gate, went to the forest designated by Jiang Jiuniang to carry goods back to the city, and then had a meal, then took the mother and son out from the south gate and sent them directly to the military camp.

The man was a little curious about the identities of the mother and son, but his many years of business experience taught him not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, and he told his brothers not to ask too many questions, and to just go about their business with peace of mind.

Jiang Jiuniang was very generous. She paid two taels more than the price he quoted, saying it was to buy everyone a drink.

The man was very happy and said he could come to him if needed next time.

There were guards near the military camp. Someone spotted them even far away and came up to ask, "Who are you!"

Jiang Jiuniang took out the warrant given by the emperor and said: "I came here to deliver supplies to the soldiers according to the emperor's order."

The big man leading the convoy was shocked when he heard her identity. There was such a shortage of people in the court. Have all the grain and grass escort officers been replaced by women and children?
How dangerous this is!

Thinking of this, the big man glanced at Jiang Jiuniang and Gouer with sympathy on his face.

The guards were also surprised. They took the warrant and examined it carefully, confirming that it was the emperor's token. However, they still had doubts about what they brought and wanted to check it.

Jiang Jiuniang was worried that they were using too much force during the inspection and could not explain the matter of those little black balls at once, so she raised her hand to stop it and said: "The Emperor's secret order is not to be known to too many people. Please ask General Lu to come , just say that his wife’s son is here and ask him to pick us up.”

For a moment, the guards and the big man were stunned.

When he thought that the two people in front of him were probably the general's family members, the famous sister-in-law, the guard went to deliver the message in person without saying a word.

Lu Baichuan was training at the military training ground. He did not go to the Dongting people today. The main reason was that he had been away for several days and was a little tired. He wanted to give the soldiers a vacation.

Qin Jian accompanied Peng Yuan to the mountains to collect herbs, while King Jing took people out to survey the terrain. He was the only one in charge of the army.

"General!"

The guard galloped over on horseback, jumped off his horse and reported: "The madam and the young master are here, please go and greet them!"

"what?"

Lu Baichuan thought he heard wrongly. The soldiers training next to him heard it and couldn't help but stop their movements.

"It should be true. Madam came here with a warrant from the emperor, saying she was sending supplies to us."

With that said, he handed the order to Lu Baichuan.

Lu Baichuan didn't bother to check the authenticity of the warrant, so he jumped on his horse and left. The guard was stunned for a moment, and then quickly chased after him on horseback.

From a distance, Lu Baichuan saw the mother and son sitting on the carriage, and his mood could no longer be described in words.

It's really here!
Even if the wife comes, she even brings her son with her!

Lu Baichuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch himself. He knew that his wife was not so obedient!
