After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1232 Terrifying the Useless

Qin Xiaomi glanced at him, grinned, and said, "The first ones to be beaten by these imperial gifts from Emperor Taizong will probably be your blind grand-disciples."

Hey old man, are you still happy? Are you still envious?

Old Master Qiong was speechless. Among the group of young scholars he led, there were indeed those who were courting death.

Old Master Xun was excited: "Beat them! Those idiots haven't been beaten enough, that's why they haven't improved at all. Now that you have the imperial gift, give them a good beating. Consider it Emperor Taizong's doing, teaching these good-for-nothing Wei scholars a lesson. After you're done, they'll all have to kneel down and thank you."

Everyone present: "..."

The absent young masters: "..."

Da da da!
"Report! Commander Wei has arrived with his troops!" A whirlwind swept by, and a hundred soldiers rushed out from a camp on the right side of Wuyuan.

The leader was Wei Baihu.

Like Commander Wei, he was raised by the Wei royal family and then sent to the Northwest Army to seek his future.

Today, it is Commander Wei who is guarding Wuyuan.

After Grandpa Qin decided to don his armor and leave the city to welcome Wei Min, the clerk sent someone to deliver a message to Commander Wei, asking him to allocate a hundred soldiers to Grandpa Qin to help him bring Wei Min into the city.

Commander Wei greatly admired everything the Qin family had done, and he mobilized his trusted troops, ordering Commander Wei to protect Grandpa Qin.

"Commander Qin, here are your armor and weapons, your tokens and flags, and the command book." Commander Wei dismounted and personally presented these items.

"Thank you for your trouble." Grandpa Qin was the first to take the command flag book, opened it, quickly glanced at it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It hasn't been changed, I know it all."

In warfare, orders are often conveyed through command flags, so armies throughout history have kept a special book of command flag messages.

All ranks from flag bearers and above, including scouts, messengers, and gate guards, had to learn flag signals, and Grandpa Qin naturally learned them as well.

"These are armor, weapons, warhorses, tokens, and other items for Second Master Qin and Second Master Jiang." Commander Wei distributed the items to Second Uncle Qin and the others.

However, Uncle Qin, being a good-for-nothing, was also disabled. He couldn't move if he wore full armor, so he only wore a helmet and soft armor to protect his chest and back, and carried light items such as a token, a crossbow, and a short blade.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
After the Qin family members, Ye Xifen, and others had all donned their armor, the war drums sounded, the military flags moved forward, and Grandpa Qin said, "Let's set off to welcome the Wei people and the mountain folk into the city!"

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Two hundred male and female cavalrymen, along with one hundred empty horses, galloped out of Wuyuan Street at dusk and headed towards the city gate.

The clerk was quite reluctant to part with them and wanted to see them off to the street corner, but Qi the angel stopped him: "Your Highness, once you leave the street corner, you will have to take precautions against the plague and isolate yourself. It's not worth it if you don't see your wife and young master for several days."

The clerk then suppressed his reluctance, looked at Qin Xiaogu beside him, and smiled, "Xiaogu, from now on, your uncle will have to rely on you to take care of the family."

Qin Xiaogu looked up at the clerk, his eyes clear and firm: "Uncle, rest assured, I will take good care of the family. Uncle, please go and do your work with peace of mind."

"Alright." Clerk Guan smiled and led Qin Xiaogu back to Wu Garden.

Qi Tianshi glanced sideways at Qin Xiaogu... This kid is a ruthless one. At such a young age, he has encountered a great battle and a huge change, yet he remains so clear-headed and composed.

He is not sick yet.

If it were any other child, experiencing such a major event, they would have been so frightened that they would have developed a high fever and been bedridden.

All I can say is that the King of Ye was lucky. Even though he was stranded in a harsh and desolate border region and abandoned by his first wife, he was able to marry a young woman from the Qin family and gain such a powerful family influence.

Don't underestimate the Qin family.

Don't think the Qin family has no power.

The Qin family may have a shallow foundation, but they are incredibly capable. They possess various secret formulas for producing silver, powerful weapons to defeat enemies, their future nephew-in-law Jiang Dalang is already leading troops into battle, and then there's Qin Dao…

That's Qin Dao, Qin Xiaomi's brother.

This kid is lucky and a good fighter. He's now a rising star in the Northwest Army. However, the Northwest is currently experiencing a rat plague, so it's uncertain whether he'll survive.

Once Qin Dao survives and the people of Dongmo are driven back from the Northeast, Your Highness, Prince Ye…

Tsk tsk tsk, Qi Tianshi dares not even think about it.

……

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
"Commander Qin, acting on the orders of the King of Ye, is leading his troops out of the city to welcome the people of Wei and the mountains into the city to escape the ravages of war. All other people, please make way!"

"By order of the Prince of Ye, and bearing the token of a heroine bestowed by His Majesty Emperor Taizong, Qin Dongjia is leading her troops out of the city..."

The voices of the male and female messengers echoed all the way, and those who heard them hurriedly made way.

Da da da!
Da da da!
The sound of horses' hooves thundered as they passed through the city. As they crossed the main city road, they encountered a group of students dressed in traditional Chinese robes.

Upon hearing this, the students quickly made way, but they reacted quickly. After clearly hearing the messenger's words, several students suddenly looked up at the person riding past.

The man was wearing special armor, holding the reins in one hand and his weapon at his side in the other. As he passed by them, he turned his head slightly in their direction and looked down at them.

Those eyes were clear and bright, but devoid of any warmth, only possessing the sharpness of a weapon sweeping across.

When Lu Qian, Shi Songxin, Zheng Qianjia and the others met her gaze, their minds exploded. Without time to think, they instinctively looked down at their shoes, fearing that if they looked any longer, they would lose their heads.

Qin Xiaomi had no idea that just glancing at them as she passed by would nearly scare the good-for-nothings to death.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps only a few seconds, Si Pei's shocked voice rang out: "Look, look! Isn't that Qin Dongjia, the man in full red-shouldered armor leading troops out of the city on horseback?!"

"It's her, it's her! It must be Qin Dongjia! No other girl is as capable as her!"

Si Pei had gone from shock and doubt to admiration: "Master Qin's stamina is amazing. He just fought a fierce battle and hasn't even rested. He rode out of the city right away. I'm exhausted. I could fall asleep the moment I lay down, but I'm afraid I'll have nightmares or develop a high fever..."

"Shut up, that's enough!" Lu Qian snapped at Si Pei, his eyes bloodshot, startling Si Pei into a daze.

"Classmate Lu, are you... are you sick from fright?" Si Pei was worried that his classmate was sick, so he mustered up his courage, raised his hand to touch Lu's forehead, and exclaimed, "It's very hot. Classmate Lu, you're sick. Driver, hurry up and set off for Wu Garden. After you finish reporting the stolen goods of the Gu family to the Prince of Ye, you can ask your master to treat classmate Lu."

Shi Songxin was also terrified of Qin Xiaomi, so he didn't delve into the matter of Qin Xiaomi, a girl, leading troops in full armor. Instead, he said, "Classmate Si and Classmate Lu are both sick, and you still want him to accompany us to give the report? You're too stingy."

"Shut up, all of you shut up!" Lu Qian shouted, pointing at Shi Songxin like a madman, "Zhou Bapi? You've been assimilated by Qin Xiaomi too?!"

"Zhou Bapi" is Qin Xiaomi's catchphrase.

Then, pointing at Si Pei, he said, "And you, she's just a woman, fully armored, riding a horse and leading troops out of the city. What are you so happy about? A hen crowing at dawn foretells chaos in the country..."

“Student Lu, be careful with your words!” Lord Yu said coldly, interrupting Lu Qian and giving him a reminder: “Now that the enemy is launching a large-scale invasion, the Qin family, young and old, has bravely stepped forward to help the country resist the enemy. This is a loyal and courageous act. As a student, you should see the good in the Qin family and not just focus on the minor improprieties... A scholar should be magnanimous and praise acts of loyalty and courage.”

If you lack even this basic magnanimity and cannot distinguish right from wrong, then you shouldn't even bother taking the imperial examinations or becoming an official.

Mr. Tong, who was traveling with them, spoke up for Lu Qian: "Student Lu has a high fever. Let's take him to Wuyuan Hospital for treatment first."

He's ill, so his mind isn't clear, which is why he's acting like a madman, blaming the Qin family girl who just made a great contribution. Please understand.
