Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 216
The news that the two cities of Yucheng Yuancheng fell one after another quickly spread back to Liangjingcheng.

People in Liang Jingcheng were in panic, and the people were discussing in private, wondering if Liang Jingcheng would undergo major changes in recent days. They didn't know much about the country's crisis, and they just wanted to live a peaceful life for themselves.

The border city was lost, and smallpox was rampant again in Liangjing City, and it was getting worse. It seemed that the cholera epidemic had gradually spread to several counties adjacent to Liangjingcheng.

It really is internal and external troubles.

Luo Nan and Shen Qingjiao were playing the piano and composing poems in the Hengxiang Restaurant, enjoying leisurely while looking at the closed houses on both sides of the street, showing hypocritical pity.

Shen Qingjiao shook her head lightly, plucking the strings with her jade fingers, "These people are innocent, I didn't want so many people to be involved in the personal grievances between me and her."

Luo Nan was copying the original handwriting of Song Baiqing, a great calligrapher of the former dynasty, at a desk on one side. Hearing her words, he paused and left a big ink dot on it, but he put it aside indifferently. Walking to Shen Qingjiao's side, he hugged her in his arms, "Why should Jiaojiao blame yourself, the idea of ​​Hua was not your idea, it was my suggestion, and you agreed after listening to my suggestion, now Liang The disaster in the capital has nothing to do with you. Moreover, smallpox and cholera have happened many times throughout the dynasties, even if we do not take action, it may not happen."

Shen Qingjiao said hesitantly, "Really?"

She flicked her hand on the piano and sighed faintly, "I just hope everything can end soon."

Luo Nan hugged her and gently stroked her back, "Yes, trust me, I will help you achieve your wish soon."

Looking at the simple and delicate patterns on the Changqin, Shen Qingjiao lowered her eyelashes and smiled silently.

That day's idea was hers. She hated Shen Qingli, so she hoped that she would die in the most painful and ugly way, and let her suffer the most painful torture to leave this world.

And the best way is the epidemic.

She doesn't want to do this kind of troublesome thing by herself, it's too dirty.

So, she asked a few people to pretend to gossip and mention smallpox in front of Luo Nan, so as to remind him. Sure enough, he did not live up to his expectations, so he took this method to deal with Shen Qingli.

It has to be said that this man is really stronger than anyone she has followed before.With him in front of me, many things became much easier.

In recent days, the country has been in turmoil, and the little emperor who has always claimed to be recovering from his illness can no longer stay.

Above the court, officials big and small are reporting the news that the border has been lost and cholera has spread in the past few days.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the little emperor looked down at the courtiers in the hall, feeling a burst of mixed pleasure in his heart.

Especially when he saw the silent Lu Huaiqi, his emotions suddenly rose.

Lu Huaiqi, aren't you very good, now it seems that it's nothing more than that!

You are not always in control of the overall situation, Xiliang is in your hands, so many problems have arisen, I want to see how you explain it.

Coughing, he put on a straight face, pretending to be majestic, "Lu Aiqing, so many things have happened in just a few months, Aiqing is nine thousand years old, didn't she always say that she would Do you share government affairs alone and work for the people? Why did you make such a big mistake now, Lu Qing's family, I hope you can give everyone an explanation!"

Lu Huaiqi was unmoved by his impassioned remarks, and now he is still entangled in these power struggles. The little emperor is hopeless, his handsome face is calm, and he said in a low voice, "The most urgent thing now is not to deal with the minister. fault, but to resolve the border dilemma, Your Majesty."

The little emperor's expression turned ugly. What does he mean by saying that he doesn't put the country's affairs first? This treacherous official has the face to accuse him. It's really shameless and despicable. Looking at the expressions of the ministers below, they also have a serious expression. Taking it for granted, he held back his anger, glared at Lu Huai and asked, "In your opinion, how should we solve it?"

Ignoring the little emperor's angry stare, Lu Huaiqi replied self-consciously, "What the frontline needs most now is reinforcements and a commander to stabilize the army and boost morale."

The little emperor rolled his eyes secretly, and leaned back, "Lu Qing's family, I just remember that you chose a man named Xiao Xing to go to the border before, and you were intercepted and killed in the end, which shows the opponent's martial arts skills. If you choose someone to go there now, you may not be able to resist the opponent's killer. Unless you choose a person whose martial arts are much higher than theirs, as far as I know, the strongest military general in the court It's just on par with the dead Xiao Xing."

Lu Huaiqi said slowly, "Did Your Majesty miss someone else?"

The ministers underestimated it. Among the military officers in the Manchu Dynasty, all of them were mediocre in martial arts. That Xiao Xing's skill was already considered outstanding. The rest were inferior to Xiao Xing except Fan Yaoxian, who was raised by Lu Huai at the beginning. If it is rejected, there will be no one left.

Their eyes wandered around, and finally stopped on Lu Huaiqi who was standing in the front.

My heart skipped a beat, could it be——

The little emperor also thought about it with them, and saw that Lu Huaiqi had already stepped forward and said, "My minister, Lu Huaiqi, is willing to take over the post of border general."

This sentence immediately caused an explosion in the court, and all the ministers talked about it, and looked at Lu Huaiqi with surprise.

It's unbelievable that the notorious leader of the courtiers actually recommended that he personally lead the army.

The little emperor sat up straight suddenly, his eyes lit up on Lu Huaiqi.

Tong Wanjin jumped up from the chair, and the small gilt abacus in his hand fell onto the chair with a crisp sound.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and after shaking for a while, he suddenly stopped. Looking at Lu Huaiqi who was sitting calmly in front of the desk, he shook his head like a ghost, "Crazy, crazy, really crazy !"

After a few steps to the desk, he stared at Lu Huaiqi, "What on earth are you thinking? Do you really plan to fight for a country that doesn't belong to you? This is too unbelievable!"

Lu Huaiqi opened the letter on the desk, and asked him calmly, "If Xiliang doesn't belong to me, then Northern Qi belongs to me? I don't want to see that person riding an iron horse and expanding his territory here."

Tong Wanjin fell silent. He was right. No matter how bad Xiliang was, it was the place where he showed his ambitions and took him in for many years, while Beiqi was the country that abandoned him and gave him the most indifferent and painful memories in the world. .

When the two countries were at war, Lu Huaiqi would naturally choose to side with Xiliang.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lu Huaiqi felt much better.

Tong Wanjin wondered, "What good thing can make you so happy at this time?"

Unless it's news related to Shen Qingli.

Thinking of this, Lu Huaiqi said happily, "Jia Zhen said that she has recovered a lot in the past few days, and she can get out of bed and walk around."

His heart relaxed, as if all the pressure disappeared for a while, and his whole body felt relaxed.

Tong Wanjin also felt a burst of relief, finally there was a good thing to celebrate.

But seeing Lu Huaiqi like this, it is likely that he will go to the carp garden to listen to the corner again at night.

Shen Qingli has been getting needles every night for the past few days, and it has been about four or five days.

According to Jia Zhen, today is the last day, after the piercing is over, the smallpox on her body will be cured soon.

Instead of being in so much pain the first day, this last night, she felt relieved.

Seeing that her expression was normal, the two little drug boys were also relieved, and waited quietly, slowly waiting for the incense in the incense burner to burn out.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiu Zhi called Jia Zhen back.

After taking off the silver needle, Jia Zhen gave Shen Qingli the pulse and nodded, "Yes, according to the pulse, madam, you are almost recovering, but you can't leave this garden immediately, and you still need to recuperate for a while."

Shen Qingli responded one by one. She has been suffering for so many days, but in the last few days, she feels that nothing is wrong.

Jia Zhen was very busy. After reading it for her, she went out to make medicine for other patients.

Shen Qingli got out of bed and left Cui Lingxuan when she had nothing to do, and wanted to go out for a walk. She has been bored in the room for the past few days, and she felt that everyone was bored.

Two children followed behind her to look after her.

Looking up at the moon in the sky, I feel a little disappointed. The last time I watched the moon with him was a few months ago. Recently I heard that many things happened in Liangjing City. He must be very troubled. Unfortunately, I can’t accompany Be there for him to solve his problems.

Thinking about something in her heart, one of her feet didn't pay attention, sprained, and the two little medicine boys hurried forward to support her, "Ma'am, be careful."

"It's too dark at night, madam, why don't you go in."

Shen Qingli smiled, and was about to say that she was fine, when suddenly she heard "A Li——" from outside the wall

She was startled suddenly, that voice...it was him.

The two little drug boys panicked, "Who! Who's outside!"

Shen Qingli hurriedly said, "Don't, don't call someone, that's my husband..."

The two little drug boys immediately fell silent, with a little embarrassment on their faces.

Lu Huai leaned against the courtyard wall and laughed lowly, she could recognize her own voice immediately.

Tong Wanjin on the side looked at the smile on his face, and rubbed his arms incomprehensibly, "Well, you can talk to her here, I'll go into the sedan chair, there are a lot of mosquitoes."

After finding this excuse, he was about to leave, when Shen Qingli's voice came over with a smile, "Young Master Wanjin is here too?"

Tong Wanjin called out in a low voice, "It's Mr. Qingfeng, Qingfeng! You can't remember how many times I've said it, let's go!"

Shen Qingli laughed, but she also knew that he was also worried about herself, so she was grateful.

Over there, Lu Huaiqi asked, "Ali, how is your health?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Qingli felt a little bit moved. She moved to the wall and said in a low voice, "It's much better, how about you?"

Lu Huai laughed that she was still worried about him, shook his head, and then remembered that she couldn't see, so he replied, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

The two chatted about Zhu's situation and some recent trivial matters in the mansion.

Lu Huaiqi stopped suddenly, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "A Li, I will leave Liangjing City tomorrow to go to the border."
