Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 76

It was just October, and Yangguan sent back the news that the sixth prince was seriously injured in order to repel the Beitu army. The emperor immediately ordered the Mu family brothers to lead troops to support them. Tujun suddenly stopped attacking.

When Su Qianmo led the team back to Lin'an with the injured sixth prince, the Mu brothers also set off for Hengguan and Yangguan. For a moment, the hearts of the people also became tense, as if this was another long-lasting and difficult battle. battle.

In order to prepare troops, soldiers were recruited from all over the country. Even in the mansion, when they walked to the front yard and chanted, they could occasionally hear someone outside yelling at which city gate there is recruiting today.

In mid-October, Su Qianmo returned to Lin'an City first. The Sixth Prince was seriously injured and traveled slowly. After Su Qianmo entered the palace to face the saint, he did not stay in the city. The Eighth Prince's Mansion left Lin'an City to return to Yang Guan, when the eighth princess heard the news and hurried over, Su Qianmo had already left.

In November, the army escorting the Sixth Prince back home was long overdue. The journey was bumpy and the Sixth Prince's injury worsened. The Emperor personally ordered several imperial physicians to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to ensure that the Sixth Prince would not suffer from any sequelae.

From the etiquette point of view, the Gu family should also go to visit. The Mu family brought the Meng family to go. There are many visitors in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and they are all received by the Sixth Princess, who stays by the Sixth Prince's bed all day long.

The Mu family didn't stay for long, and left the palace half an hour later and returned to the Gu family. There was good news from the Lu family that Gu Yinshuang was pregnant for two months.

When Yin Huan heard the news, he was flipping through the war records in his father's study, and Er Dong came in to ask for instructions. The Fourth Madam was going to bring the Eldest Madam to Lu's house, and if the young lady wanted to go and have a look together.

"Oh? The second sister is pregnant." Yin Huan put down the thick book, raised his head and said to Er Dong, "Go and let the sister-in-law take the purple box, and I won't go there." Er Dong left in response, chanting Huan lowered his head and happened to see a line of Beitu Army's strategy in the book.

During his lifetime, her father wrote many scenes about the battle with the Beitu army, including the living habits of the Beitu people. Yin Huan read it carefully. She vaguely remembered that her father had won the battle before his death. My father knew so much about the Beitu army's battles. The policy, why did you choose to pursue the victory? Obviously, there is such a sentence written in the last paragraph, pursue the victory and ambush more.

In Lu's mansion, Mrs. Fang and Meng were sent away. Mrs. Lu put away the smile on her face and snorted. Look at what she said in front of her mother just now. It seems that she has been wronged in Lu's mansion. Half a year has passed since they got married, and she has never had the slightest chance to embarrass her.

"Mother, you look for me." Lu Chongyan walked into Mrs. Lu's room, and Mrs. Lu motioned him to sit next to her, and said softly, "Now that Yinshuang is pregnant, she didn't arrange a room for you before, because she wanted to When she has a baby first, and now she is two months pregnant, she must sleep in a separate room, and you are not allowed to go back to her room to rest. I will send an experienced old mother to watch the night for her, Tao Xiang , go and call Lily and Narcissus in."

Just as Lu Chongyan was about to refute, two girls about [-] or [-] years old came in, bowed their heads and greeted Mrs. Lu softly.

"Chong Yan, these are the two girls I chose for you. Both of them are innocent, and they entered your yard. Don't wrong these two children." Mrs. Lu smiled and asked them to look up. , Lu Chongyan was slightly taken aback, and the strong resistance at first faded instantly.

Mrs. Lu smiled in her eyes and said nothing. She has chosen these two girls since Gu Yinshuang married in. How could she not know what kind of woman her son likes? Pay attention, how long does she think this love will last without the support of her in-laws.

"Mother, this Yinshuang is just pregnant, she won't be happy to see it." Lu Chongyan calmed down, those innocent big eyes were really alluring.

"You take Yinshuang on the left, and Yinshuang on the right. This wife is pregnant, did she show her face to the maids around her? Don't tell me you have to stay in the house these few months, nonsense!" Mrs. Lu scolded , "When I was pregnant with your elder brother, didn't I just slap a maid next to me, so your grandmother didn't send someone over. Your father didn't come into my house until two months after giving birth to your elder brother."

Lu Chongyan had no way to refute. As for whether he didn't know how to refute or didn't want to refute again, only he knew it in his heart. After returning home, he carefully talked to Gu Yinshuang about it. Gu Yinshuang, who was still in a stable mood just now, looked at Looking at him, tears accumulated in his eyes in an instant, and fell down his cheeks. Gu Yinshuang wiped it with his hand, and forced a smile, "Since it was sent by my mother, I will ask someone to arrange a place to live. After coming down, Yinshuang can no longer serve Mr. Xiang, so she shouldn't be occupying her."

The little sign that had just been born in Lu Chongyan's heart disappeared instantly. He hurriedly took her into his arms, patted her shoulder lightly and comforted her, "Don't be sad, I've always only had you in my heart, mother I will go to the person who arranged it, lest she say anything about you, and I will sleep next door for the rest of the time, so you can be there whenever you are called."

Gu Yinshuang was crying in his arms, with sarcasm in his eyes, if she was really the only one in his heart, how could he still be able to enter other people's houses, presumably the two people arranged by his mother-in-law made it difficult for him to refuse.

"Yeah." Gu Yinshuang rang softly, and Lu Chongyan sniffed the faint fragrance of her body, and the flat belly was still not visible at all, but this was the first child of the Lu family. As for the eldest brother, Lu Chongyan's face There was a flash of hostility, and the elder brother had no children, so the father didn't value his children.

Gu Yinshuang had no reason to stop Mrs. Lu from stuffing people here. She couldn't let her husband endure with her when she was pregnant. The next day, the two couples named Lily and Narcissus lived in their yard. Lu Chongyan was afraid It affected her, and specially arranged a room farther away. According to Mrs. Lu's wishes, after the room is opened, she will be promoted to be a concubine, and it won't take long for the two of them to live in another small courtyard.

Gu Yinshuang raised the baby with peace of mind, when they came to pay their respects, they gave a few instructions, and waited for them to go out before calling the personal servant girl, "Go and inform them that they don't need to come to pay my respects before I give birth. "

How jealous Gu Yinshuang is, but it can be seen from the fact that she can no longer use the used things even if they are destroyed by others. Since Lu Chongyan has no choice for her, she is even more unwilling to let her Someone else has touched him.

She herself came from the third room of the Gu family, where there are many concubines. How many aunts and children does her father have, but the mother who is the mistress only has one son, and she has not yet won his father's heart. In the past, she was happy for her aunt Well, now that she is in this position, how could she not allow herself the chance to become like her mother.

But no matter what, she had to give birth to the child first.

Gu Yinshuang narrowed her eyes and reached out to touch her stomach. As long as she gave birth to a child and gained a firm foothold in the Lu family, she would have nothing to be afraid of even the rumors in the past...

Yangguan, Su Qianmo has been back for a few days. Beitu is the same as before he set off. There has been no movement. Su Qianmo looks at the big map spread out on the table. It is extremely unfavorable, as long as they retreat all these years, they will have nothing to do with themselves, and it's not like they haven't rushed in, but no one is familiar with the terrain, even if they don't know where the hidden soldiers are set up, they basically go in and die.

"Boy, you are really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers." Mu Chaobi, who arrived later, patted him on the shoulder. In the beginning, he actually had some prejudice against the royal children. Joining the army is more like playing in the barracks. In the next year, he participated in some kind of bandit suppression again, made a meritorious service, and would be appointed an official when he returned, but Su Qianmo broke his opinion, and even returned after escorting the sixth prince back.

"Master Mu, haven't we sent people to infiltrate Beitu to get their maps these years?" Su Qianmo walked to the other side. This is a miniature version of the mountains that Yangguan could see in the past. Su Qianmo pointed to Yangguan. "We didn't know about it in the past, isn't this very passive."

"Boy, do you think that you are the only one who thinks about this problem? Even Gu Guogong has sent many people over these years, pretending to be businessmen, peddlers, and even weak women and children, but they all noticed and none of them came back." Mu Chao Biao pointed to the several strongholds in Beitu past Yangguan, "These are the ones they brought out with great difficulty, and if they go deeper, they will be gone."

"Why don't you find real ordinary merchants and peddlers, so that they won't notice." The two countries are at war, but those merchants and peddlers will still come to do business in peaceful days, especially merchants, North Tuna's fur and Da Jin These things are transported back and forth, and these people from both countries consciously won't interfere.

"They have no power to restrain chickens, so they are not courting death."

"Master Mu, have you ever thought that it is easy for them to recognize people in the barracks by sending them in disguise? Soldiers have the characteristics of soldiers. They are not for business like businessmen. They have different concerns. In addition, the aura they exude is also different, Beitu must be aware of it, if it is an ordinary businessman, they are not vigilant, and going to a few places is also a transaction, and you can record the map by the way." Su Qianmo He pondered for a while and said.

"Then what should they do if they find out." Hearing what he said, Mu Chaobi seemed to have some reason, and sat on the chair to motion him to continue.

"They are all ordinary merchants. How can they tell the difference? Merchants are for business, and they will come back after selling out their goods. They will not find time to wander around. How can they tell that they are safe and sound?" Su Qian silently pointed at the few places they knew,

"We can organize all the merchants. Isn't Beitu going back now? The heavy snowfall has fallen. The merchants in Yangguan will definitely go there before this time. There are too many merchants. It doesn't matter who sells fast and who sells slowly. Be sure, sell more slowly, let them not gather, spread out, and you can get a lot of information when they come back." Su Qianmo said what was in his heart, and raised his head to ask Mu Chaobi for advice. Finding that he was listening seriously, he nodded as he listened, as if agreeing with what he said.

"This is a risky thing for businessmen. How can you be sure they will agree?" Mu Chaobi continued to ask.

"What is the most important thing for businessmen? They value a profit. Wars from time to time will cause them no business. If they continue to fight, the people will be destitute and they will have no food to eat. War is the most uneconomical thing for them. The longer the time goes by, the more they will be affected, so they definitely want to finish the fight quickly." If they want to finish it quickly without any future troubles, one side will definitely overwhelm the other side. To the benefit.

Mu Chaobu felt that this was feasible. Now, for the people of Beitu, what they need when winter comes is charcoal and food. It is true that merchants move around more frequently at this time of year, but it is not easy to convince these people.

"Since it's your idea, then I'll leave it to you to handle this matter." If it's a purely business relationship, it won't arouse any vigilance, and it doesn't matter if you don't get anything.

Mu Chaobu looked at him with a touch of admiration in his eyes, it seems that this kid is not just a reckless person, and now there is another young and promising general...
