Daughter Raiders

Chapter 237
After dinner in the evening, Tao Ran took the initiative to come to her father, and told Su Hao not to urge her to leave, but she could leave if she wanted to, and she would return to Beijing with her father to report on her work next spring.

After hearing what she said, Su Hao complained helplessly, "You are really stubborn, you don't know who you followed?"

"I'm daddy's daughter, so of course I'll follow daddy." Tao Ran dragged his little boy to sit in front of Su Hao, hugged his leg like a skinny, and chose the most suitable position, resting his head on daddy's lap .

In the evening at the end of July, the weather was very cool.The father and daughter sat under the corridor of the main room to enjoy the cool air, and they could see the stars all over the sky when they looked up, while Tao Ran just lay his head on his father's lap, feeling that he was the happiest person in the world for a moment.

In the days that followed, no matter how calm Tao Ran looked, his heart was filled with anticipation and worry... In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the seventh day of August that Mu Huan had told her about.

Tao Ran hardly knew how she got here these days, she only knew that what Mu Huan told her was a military secret, she couldn't tell anyone, she could only bury all her worries deeply in her heart.But now that day was before her eyes, she washed her hands and face very carefully after getting up, and made an exception to go to the East Wing, where she devoutly burned three sticks of incense in front of the Buddhist altar where the Bodhisattva had always been placed.

In other words, she really managed to get by in her previous life, she saw no one but her own mother, not even herself, and that's why her life was so miserable.But now that she is lucky enough to live a new life, she cares about many people, and although she has a lot of worries, it seems that her life is much more enjoyable than in her previous life?
After paying homage to the Bodhisattva, Tao Ran stood up silently, and was about to turn around and go out when he heard Mama Yang's voice outside the east chamber door: "Miss, someone from the General Military Mansion is here to pick you up."

Tao Ran pursed his lips and smiled slightly.This is Madam Zhenbeihou's precautionary measure, right?In case the cavalry failed to attack the Khalkhas, and the Khalkhas counterattacked wildly, the General Army Mansion is much safer than this official back house?The walls of the General Military Mansion are tall and there are many personal guards. Even a horseman has a whole body of kung fu...

"I'll come." Tao Ran replied with a smile, and walked out of the east wing slowly.

"Miss, don't you want to change your clothes? What you are wearing now is too homely." Seeing her, she prepared to go like this, and Mother Yang quickly reminded her.

Tao Ran shook his head lightly - she wasn't a guest, so it's better to be casual.Mrs. Zhenbei Hou was not afraid of the news, and sent someone to pick her up to the General Military Mansion to avoid the limelight. She couldn't be ignorant to win the attention of the General Military Mansion, right?

I just don't know what's going on in the government office where my father is?In order not to leak the news, the Marquis of Zhenbei will definitely not send troops to protect the mansion...

"Mom, let me see if Yang Ping and Li An have gone to the yamen with the master. If they haven't followed, send the one who stayed at home too, and tell them what I ordered, and tell them not to leave today. Master, left and right." Tao Ran told Mama Yang in a low voice.

Now that there is a war, Dad must stay in the government office, because the prefect of the border town also has the duty to defend the territory and the people—or the Khalkha people would not be afraid of Dasheng’s army because Dad was injured by an arrow Revenge then languished all winter.

Both Yang Ping and Li An have some martial arts. If the Khalkhas counterattack, they may not be able to protect their father well, but it is better than nothing.In addition, these two people have been with their father for many years, so they know it well, so there is no need to be afraid that they will leak any news.

Mother Yang didn't know why her daughter suddenly thought of such a thing, but she didn't dare to ask, because although Tao Ran never put on a straight face, his voice was unquestionable; upon hearing this, he immediately went to the last hospital, After slightly leaning back, he replied: "Mom has already sent Li An to the government office, do you have any other orders?"

"Tell Mama Ding again, don't go shopping in the street today, eat whatever you have at home, and wait a few days for anything you lack. When I leave, close the two corner gates in the yard." Tao Ran said softly.

At this time, no matter how slow Mother Yang was, she could tell something was wrong, her face turned pale immediately, and her hands trembled, but after seeing the girl's firm gaze, she hurriedly cheered up: "Mom knows, mom Go tell Mama Ding."

"Tell Mama Ding not to panic, my advice is just to be prepared." Tao Ran was afraid that Mama Ding would go shopping in the street with great fanfare if she got the news, and then let others see the clue, so she immediately ordered no one to go out again.There are vegetable cellars and warehouses in this house, and those reserves are enough for the servants to use for a few days, so why bother to make trouble?

After giving these instructions, Tao Ran felt that there was nothing missing, so he took Yang's mother and Hongxia away from the back house of the government office, and went straight to the General Military Mansion.

She also wanted to take the two little girls with her on the eighth day of the seventh month, as well as the few people her grandmother gave her. After all, their status as masters and servants was not bad, and she didn't want to leave any of them behind, but what did that become?People with discerning eyes can't tell at a glance that she seems to be fleeing?It would be better to go to the General Military Mansion as a guest as usual, and save everyone from having doubts - doubts will cause chaos for no reason, and the gains outweigh the losses.

What's more, the real Liaodong border is about two hundred miles away from the city of Liaodong Prefecture, and the city walls are so thick and solid, how could the Khalkhas counterattack and break through Liaodong City so easily?Just like what she said to Mother Yang, everything is just being prepared...

"Sister Tao is here." Tao Ran arrived at the General Military Mansion and then entered the back house, and Mu Lei was waiting for her at the Chuhua Gate, her face showed no panic or worry at all, she was worthy of being a general's tiger girl.

"I'm here." Tao Ran held Mu Lei's hand, "Aunt... are you okay?"

Although the Liaodong Mansion seemed to be carefree, Mu Huan was in the cavalry.Although he has been in the army for nearly three years, this is the first time he has participated in a large-scale operation, right?If you tell Tao Ran that Mrs. Zhenbei Hou is not worried at all, she will not believe it.

"Since you're here, why don't you talk to my mother for a while." Mu Lei said helplessly, "Although my mother has always been so frightened since she married my father, after all, my fourth brother is no better than my father, isn't he? My mother has only one son, my fourth brother..."

If these words were spoken out, it might cause people to slander, but didn't the women of the Dacheng Dynasty live by their sons, and Mrs. Zhenbeihou was more worried about her son than her husband. It was completely true.Tao Ran nodded understandingly, and the two of them walked to the main courtyard of Mrs. Zhenbeihou. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Mu Yun also greeted her. Slight concern.

"My mother is embroidering." Mu Yun pointed to Xicijian and told Tao Ran softly.

Her mother started embroidering when she got up early in the morning, and it has been more than an hour now, and she has never rested. It would be great if Sister Tao could persuade her...
