Agriculturist businesswoman reborn in the countryside

Chapter 474
She is not a showy person, she walks all the way, just to make her family live better.

Sometimes the limelight is too much, which is really not a good thing.

She went to meet Tian Chong with her veil covered, and asked him to sign and draw a pledge, promising that she would never embarrass the people of Mingcheng, and then let the people and soldiers retreat.

After solving the matter of Mingcheng, the time has exceeded her expectation, and it has entered mid-October.

During this period of time, she has been running here and there to avoid Shan Jie's pursuit, and she can't reveal her whereabouts when she enters Mingcheng twice, so she has never contacted her family.

It stands to reason that my brother should have returned from the old poison doctor.

And her affairs are over, and it's time to go home.

There are still more than two months before the start of the war. She has to hurry up and make final preparations. She remembers that the war broke out in the first lunar month.

As for Tian Yu's current situation, Tang Mai didn't make a special effort to inquire, and she hasn't seen Shan Jie again during this period of time.

Maybe the child has been killed, maybe Tian Yu's current mental state is still insane, maybe Tian Yu was locked up by Shan Jie, no matter what it is, it's Tian Yu's own fault, no one else.

Just when Tang Mai was packing his luggage and was about to go back to Qingcheng with Shan Xiong and Tang Shui, an event that shocked the entire Tianlong Kingdom reached their ears.

Things are ahead of schedule.

At last year's banquet, the princess who came to perform the dance and was accepted into the harem by the emperor died of illness in the palace.

Tang Mai will never forget that he heard this news in his previous life. In less than a month, the war between the two countries broke out.

Calculated according to the time of the previous life, this matter was more than three months earlier, that is to say, the war between the two countries would break out in November at the latest.

Did something happen in the middle, otherwise why would the princess die early?
Tang Mai couldn't figure out the intrigues in the palace. The only thing she could do was to hurry back and deal with all the things that should be dealt with in this month. Before her brother's conscription order came down, she could hide it from her brother and get it. Ling, go to the battlefield for my brother.

If her brother disagrees, she still has to think of a way to send him away. As long as she goes and succeeds in replacing him, then for her safety and to hide the crime of deceiving the emperor for her, the brother will definitely have to let her take over go.

Tang Mai was thinking about how to send Tang Ke away, and when he was packing his luggage, there was a knock on the door.

Tang Mai went to the door and opened it, and saw Shan Xiong standing at the door, looking at her and smiling, "Mai'er, are you ready?"

"Okay, foster father."

It took seven days to reach Qingcheng from Mingcheng. Along the way, Tang Mai used various methods to get in touch with those people arranged by Beston in various places.

Both Shan Xiong and Tang Shui gradually discovered Tang Mai's tense nerves. When they arrived at a city, Shan Xiong couldn't help asking, "Mai'er, what happened? What are you preparing for?"

"Father foster, it's nothing, I just have a bad feeling." Tang Mai laughed and said, "Is there anything wrong with me? By the way, foster father, don't you still have [-]% of the management rights of the restaurant in your hand? I always feel that something big will happen recently, adoptive father, please tell me the location of the restaurant in your hand, and I will arrange it. I will ask Brother Tian to send the purchased vegetables, fruits and grains to your restaurant first. "

Seventy percent of the restaurant business in Shan Xiong's hands was given to Shan Jie and Tian Yu. Originally, Tang Mai could stop providing them with vegetables and put them in trouble, but the things were given by Shan Xiong voluntarily. Shan Xiong was still very fond of Shan Jie. If she cares, she can't do this. Besides, this is also an industrial chain of hers, and the annual income is very considerable. It's a pity to break it.

Hearing this, Shan Xiong was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, "You girl..."

Shan Xiong understood Tang Mai's attitude towards him giving away [-]% of his property. Tang Mai didn't stop him, and didn't cut off the supply of food and vegetables, all because of his face.

Anyway, Tang Mai's purpose is to dispel Shan Xiong's suspicion. If Shan Xiong thinks so, Tang Mai will naturally not correct him.

After arriving in Qingcheng, Tang Mai found out that Tang Ke hadn't come back yet, which surprised her somewhat. It stands to reason that even if the time was extended, she should be back now.

Seeing that it would take about ten days to get from Qingcheng to Beijing, Tang Mai thought that it was a good thing that Tang Ke didn't come back. She could go to Song Huaiqing in advance and get Tang Ke's conscription order.

As Tang Mai expected, on the way she and Leng Ran rushed to the capital, they heard news of war coming from all over the country.

It is said that the army of the Shengqi Kingdom has already attacked the border of the Tianlong Kingdom. The emperor sent troops from the capital to support them a few days ago. At the same time, he issued an imperial decree to recruit troops nationwide!

As long as it is the name on the conscription order, no matter who it is, they must go to the battlefield. If there is any disobedience, they will be killed without mercy!

Capital, Song Mansion.

Song Huaiqing stood in the study, looking at the conscription order placed on the table, the emperor gave him a chance to choose independently, one of his two sons must go to battle and kill the enemy, as an example.

The emperor had promised him reinstatement if he would send out a son who would set an example throughout the country.

This is a huge temptation. Two sons, choose one of the two. In the past, there is no need to choose at all. The one sent to the battlefield by him is definitely Tang Ke.

But now, in addition to being his son, Tang Ke is also Cheng Wang's adoptive son, the eldest son.

If he filled in Tang Ke's name, he would surely offend King Cheng.

But in the few words the emperor said to him in the imperial study room, there were more or less hints that he intended to send Tang Ke to the battlefield.

After all, the power of Tang Ke's example is much greater than that of Song Qingyu, the second generation.

Song Huaiqing looked at the conscription order on the table and was very hesitant, should he offend King Cheng or lose the chance of being reinstated this time and disappoint the emperor?
In his view, it is a choice that is not worth the candle.

"Father." Just when Song Huaiqing was hesitating, Song Qingshuang's voice sounded outside the door.

"Is it Shuang'er? Come in."

Song Qingshuang heard the words, opened the door and walked in, and saw the conscription order on the table, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Father, who is this for?"

"The emperor gave our family a quota and asked Dad to send someone to the battlefield. Tell me, who should I send?"

"Father, you mean..." Song Qingshuang understood after hearing this.

To whom?

Does this need to be said?
Song Qingshuang narrowed her eyes, walked in front of Song Huaiqing, grabbed Song Huaiqing's hand, "Father, mother is gone, I only have my younger brother and your two closest relatives left. Are you willing to let my younger brother go to the battlefield to die?" ?"

I can't bear it, how can I be willing?

Song Huaiqing has no feelings for Tang Mai and Tang Ke, and even regards them as stains in his life, but he loves Song Qingshuang and Song Qingyu from the bottom of his heart.
