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

Chapter 1276 This old woman went out of the city to fight alongside them [3]

"Thank you, Prince Ye, for the meat and rice!" The messenger who brought the good news was very happy. He sat down on the ground, opened the food box, took out the food, and ate while waiting for the adults' questions.

The meat rice dish is simple, but it features rare fresh chicken, fresh leafy greens, and egg soup. The staple food is steamed buns, which feel like biting into cotton when you take a bite.

During wartime, being able to eat such a meal means that even if one dies in battle after leaving the city, one is still luckier than other comrades.

After they finished eating, the Wei soldiers guarding the gate also finished copying the battle report and passed it on to the gate clerks for them to review.

Looking at the detailed battle reports from several engagements, everyone was very grateful: "Thankfully, we had powerful weapons. Otherwise, not only would our casualties have increased significantly, but the enemy might have also dug up the area around the city gates, making all the traps we dug near the city gates pointless!"

"The heroines' achievements are truly remarkable, Lord Yan. We must proclaim their merits throughout the city and tell everyone who protected them!" Clerk Guan was determined to publicize the heroines' deeds of killing enemies and protecting the country.

"Yes, I will send officials to do it." Lord Yan was not a stranger to Lu Qian; he knew very well that in wartime, those who made meritorious contributions should be given the utmost respect and benefits.

Any grievances, conflicts, or disputes can wait until after the war.

The family was in disarray during the war, and indeed, they had fallen into ruin. They didn't even teach their children this simple truth.

"Don't worry, Mother-in-law. Father-in-law and the Imperial Guards have been fighting alongside my niece. My niece is also very clever; she only uses sharp weapons for long-range attacks and has not put herself in any danger." The clerk read the battle report about Qin Xiaomi's battle to Grandma Qin in detail.

Grandma Qin could read, and she read it herself before saying, "Good, good, my granddaughter has been smart and capable since she was little, and she never does anything that puts her in danger."

What has my niece ever done without taking risks?
But the clerk Guan smiled and agreed: "Mother-in-law is right. As long as we have the right weapons, my niece can launch a long-range attack without having to take any risks."

A sharp weapon, a sharp weapon indeed!

Grandma Qin trembled and said, "Son-in-law, send a group of men to escort this old woman out of the city. I need to go and be with my eldest granddaughter."

Sister Shu, Da Bao'er, along with Old Madam Guan, her son-in-law, Madam Sun, and her second daughter-in-law, were with her, but the granddaughter's closest relatives were her and her old man.

“Xiao Mi’s parents are gone. I’m her grandmother. I have to go out and be with her. Xiao Mi needs her grandmother.”

Grandma Qin pleaded... This world is harsh on women. Xiao Mi led troops to kill enemies and made great contributions. If she didn't have a female elder by her side, those who wanted to seize her weapons would use this and her reputation to kill her.

This is a powerful weapon, not some new dye; it's something that everyone is willing to risk everything to snatch!

"Son-in-law, I must leave the city to be with my granddaughter!"

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, don't worry, my niece is safe..." Clerk Guan hurriedly comforted Grandma Qin, afraid that she would be frightened out of her wits again.

"Grandma, don't worry, don't worry." Madam Guan raised her hand and placed it on Grandma Qin's hand. She then took out a small jar, opened the stopper, and held it under Grandma Qin's nose so that she could smell it.

Grandma Qin's spirits calmed down considerably, and her eyes cleared. She looked at Madam Guan and said, "Madam, I have to go and keep her company."

“I understand. But your status is too low, it wouldn’t be of any use. I will go, and I will go out of the city to fight alongside them. That would be the best way to deter all the villains!” Old Madam Guan said, “I have shown favor to His Majesty before. I am a princess, a former queen, the grandmother of the Prince of Ye, and an elder to His Majesty and all the members of the Wei royal family…”

Haha, the longer you live, the higher your status will be.

"So, you stay here and take good care of Da Bao'er and her child. I'll go out of the city to stay with Xiao Mi."

"Sister, you can't go, I'll go!" Madam Sun said, trying to stop her.

Lord Yan felt that they were all seriously ill and had no choice but to speak up: "Ladies, please calm down. None of you can go out of the city to fight... The enemy is ruthless. If they know that there are royal women outside the city, they will definitely do everything in their power to capture them alive."

"The lesson of the Yongzheng Emperor should be remembered!" Have we forgotten what's written in history?
So please stop taking advantage of your age and doing whatever you want, only adding to the burden on our officers and soldiers!
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Yan." Madam Guan smiled, but did not allow any dissuasion, saying only, "Master Qin and the others fought the enemy to protect us, and we should also protect them who have made meritorious contributions in fighting the enemy."

"I am already old enough to be buried. If I can protect those who have done good deeds before I die, and prevent their reputations from being tarnished, then I will die a worthy death."

Lord Yan: "But..."

"Lord Yan, I have medicine." Old Madam Guan reached out to Madam Sun, who gave her a box.

When the box was opened, there was a porcelain bottle about the size of a bamboo tube inside, which was also encased in an iron cage. After the stopper was removed, a pungent smell filled the air.

"This is a royal-specific strong acid venom. If we encounter an enemy, I will disfigure my own body to preserve the royal family's dignity and not add to the enemy's achievements."

After stuffing the stopper in place, Madam Guan looked at Lord Yan and said, "So please allow me to leave the city and protect the heroines. Heroines protecting each other is an imperial edict from His Majesty Emperor Taizong and Empress Wenci."

Since they had already brought up Emperor Taizong and Empress Wenci, what could Lord Yan do? He knelt down and said, "Your subject obeys the oral decree of His Majesty Emperor Taizong and Empress Wenci."

Hey, hey, hey, it's none of my business. It was an imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor and his wife. I was just following the decree.

This?
"The old lady is a person of high status and should not be taken for risks. I will go instead!" Grandma Qin stepped forward to stop her.

Madam Guan smiled and reassured her, "Adventure? What danger? After I went out, I was just in the command tent, protected by countless Wei soldiers. There was no danger. I was just with the heroines to silence the rumors spread by some scoundrels!"

Grandma Guan was a generation older than Grandma Qin and more than ten years older. She looked at Grandma Qin like her own niece, patting her head and smiling, "Take good care of yourself and don't worry Xiaomi."

"...Okay." Grandma Qin finally agreed.

Madam Guan is right. Her status and position are not high enough. If she leaves the city, she will not only be unable to protect her granddaughter, but will also become a burden to her.

Madam Guan has a high status, is protected by others, and her words carry weight. She is even more useful when she goes out to accompany her granddaughter.

"Sister," Madam Sun called out, her voice choked with sobs.

Madam Guan said, “Don’t cry, now is not the time to cry. I will stay outside the city to oversee things, but you will have to take care of things inside the city… If any rumors spread inside the city, you are responsible for cleaning them up. Kill those who should be killed. We are using wartime military law now. Spreading rumors about people with military merits is something only the enemy does. There is no need to keep them alive!”

Hiss, Lord Yan and the others felt a chill in their hearts... This old woman's imposing manner is as strong as ever!

"Royal Guards!" Guan the Clerk shouted, and five Royal Guards stepped forward. Guan the Clerk said, "Protect my grandmother, obey her orders, and help her... accomplish what she wants to accomplish."

Even when their grandmother's identity is discovered and she is surrounded by enemy troops and needs to commit suicide using a body-dissolving potion, they still help her complete the task.

"Yes!" the imperial guards replied.

Wei Qianhu also personally went to coordinate his Wei army, and finally gave him a hundred elite soldiers, fully armored and equipped with warhorses.

It has to be said that Commander Wei is really rich; he has 400 soldiers under his command, each equipped with a warhorse.

"You all go back. I won't be returning to Weilou." Old Madam Guan told Grandma Qin and Madam Sun to turn back ahead of time.

"Sister, please leave a few words for Da Bao'er and his mother," Madam Sun reminded her.

It's better to leave a few words than to be afraid of the unexpected.

Madam Guan smiled and said, "Tell them that I, Ah Zu, have gone out of the city to become a heroine. Take good care of yourselves and wait for us to come back."
