Chapter 138 Discussing Countermeasures
Mrs. Jiang is from a family of generals, not a boudoir woman, so she naturally knows that Jiang Ling is in danger.

Xing Ruyan laughed and said, "The general is the god of war, so it would be easy to fight back the Uighurs?"

Mrs. Jiang's face turned cold, and she glanced at Xing Ruyan.

Xing Ruyan didn't know what happened, so she heard Su Mei say: "Su Mei doesn't understand the battlefield, but today I trust the general quite a bit, but this time I only let the general lead 40 troops. I won't be ignorant today, with a [-] army For [-] troops, several times weaker than the Uighurs, there is no certainty of victory at all, doesn't the old lady think something is wrong?"

She has been paying attention to the battle situation in Shuozhou, Mrs. Jiang nodded and said, "You are right."

What Su Mei actually wanted to say was that this battle was too dangerous, but Elder Jiang was worrying about Jiang Ling's marriage at this juncture, obviously avoiding the serious and taking the light.

Mrs. Jiang's face darkened. Even Su Mei could see that something was wrong. After being reminded by Su Mei, how could she not know that the situation on the Shuozhou battlefield must be extremely dangerous, otherwise Jiang Ling wouldn't even send a letter to report her safety. No.

When Mrs. Jiang walked out of the yard, her legs were shaking. The servants finally let go of Jin Chuan, and a group of people left in a mighty manner.

Jin Chuan was terrified, still knelt on the ground and kept trembling, if Mrs. Jiang ordered thirty slaps, her face would be ruined, but I didn't expect that there would be thunder and rain in the end, and the slap would always be the same. It didn't land on her face.

Su Mei stepped forward to help Jin Chuan get up, and said in relief: "It's all right now."

Only then did Jin Chuan come back to his senses, seeing Su Mei's face pale as paper, he hurriedly asked: "Young lady's face is so embarrassing, could it be that she was punished by the old lady to kneel down?"

Su Mei shook her head. Seeing Mrs. Jiang's expression today, she knew that Jiang Ling's battle was dangerous. One hundred thousand troops fought against 40. She didn't know how Jiang Ling would respond. If Shuozhou couldn't keep it, how would Jiang Ling escape? ?

Jin Chuan quickly helped Su Mei to sit down, thinking that she was stimulated by Mrs. Jiang and Xing Ruyan, so he comforted her and said: "The general cares about the girl, and the general's love for the girl is not because of Xing Ruyan who came out of nowhere It can be replaced, the general hasn't come back yet, girl don't want to hurt yourself and hurt your body, then Miss Xing really wants to gloat!"

Su Mei nodded, smiled wryly, "I won't."

She had been fooled by Shen Yinger once, so she couldn't see through the true face of Xing Ruyan who was hiding a knife in his mouth.

How could she not see through that Xing Ruyan and Shen Ying'er were actually the same way.

Xing Ruyan flattered Mrs. Jiang in every possible way, in fact, she wanted to get the position of the general's wife, and the reason why she greeted her with a smile was because she saw that Mrs. Jiang knew that she was pregnant, so she would not really embarrass her.

Maybe she also told Mrs. Jiang that she didn't care about Jiang Ling raising a concubine outside, and if she married Jiang Ling, she would persuade Jiang Ling to welcome her into the family.

Mrs. Jiang was silent all the way, with a serious expression on her face. Xing Ruyan looked at Mrs. Jiang's face, thinking that what she just said had angered Mrs. Jiang, so she knelt down in front of Mrs. Jiang, her eyes were red, and dripped a few drops. With tears in her eyes, she quickly admitted her mistake: "If Ruyan said something wrong, please forgive Ruyan this time for the sake of Ruyan's youth and ignorance. Ruyan will definitely serve the old lady more wholeheartedly in the future. "

Seeing Xing Ruyan weeping like pear blossoms and rain, old man Jiang still couldn't bear it. A girl of her age said such words out of admiration and admiration for Erlang.It is also an unintentional statement.

Mrs. Jiang hurried forward to help her up, nodded, and smiled lovingly: "Good boy, get up quickly! You are a magnanimous good boy, and if you can tolerate Erlang's concubine, I will not treat you badly." You, when Erlang returns safely, I will definitely decide for the two of you, and the position of the general's first wife can only be yours."

The key is that Erlang can return safely, Su Mei's words woke her up, she must try to find out what happened in the palace.

Mrs. Jiang asked someone to send Xing Ruyan back to the mansion, while she herself went to the mansions of several veteran cabinet ministers.

With the friendship between my husband and them for many years, I will definitely be able to get some useful information.

When Mrs. Jiang returned to Jiang's mansion, her complexion became more and more ugly, so she said to the old woman next to her, "Go to Changwu Courtyard to pick up the child. Remember to use a soft sedan chair."

The carriage was too bumpy and Su Mei was pregnant, so there was no room for loss.

Although she didn't like Qin Zhen, she knew that Qin Zhen was smart, especially at this time, it would be great to have someone by her side who could discuss with her.

When Su Mei was led into the Shouhe Hall by Jin Chuan, Mrs. Jiang was paying respects to the Buddha with a prayer bead in her hands. Su Mei blessed her body to pay her respects. Mrs. Jiang still had a serious face, but her eyes were obviously much softer when she saw Su Mei, so she said to Su Mei: : "Sit down and talk."

The servants came in holding tea and fruits, Mrs. Jiang winked at the old woman beside her, and the servants closed the door and retreated.

Mrs. Jiang's complexion was heavy, and she came slowly: "There are no outsiders here, so I will tell you the truth, so that you can also prepare yourself. I know that you are not a woman who is ignorant of the world and raised in a deep boudoir. It is not in vain that Erlang loves you." One, no one wants to stand on the top of a lonely mountain, but wants someone to enjoy the scenery, do you understand?"

Su Mei nodded. Hearing that Jiang Ling was in a difficult situation, she had been restless. For some reason, at this moment, there was a series of fine pains in her heart, and her heart was bitter and astringent.

Mrs. Jiang recalled her father's death in battle, and the regret that she was not able to accompany him before he died, and felt lost in her heart.

Mrs. Jiang sighed softly, and said slowly: "The emperor has been seriously ill for several days, and the crown prince took over the administration on his behalf. Erlang sent a message a thousand miles away ten days ago, saying that it was the first battle in Shuozhou, and the Uighur tribe colluded with Daxian. The 30 troops are already on the way, and the food and grass that can support the army is less than ten days old, and Shuozhou has been raining continuously for ten days, if the Uighurs attack with water, the city of Shuozhou will be in danger."

"His Royal Highness refused?"

In the letter ten days ago, if the prince agreed to send reinforcements and food, the general's news must have already come.

Mrs. Jiang nodded solemnly.

Every time Mrs. Jiang said a word, Su Mei's face turned even paler. Jiang Ling, who had followed her father and brother to fight enemies in the battlefield since childhood, was omnipotent and invincible in Su Mei's eyes. He was about to enter a desperate situation.

And she was still blaming him, after going there for several days, there was no news at all.

Su Mei squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and it took a long time to recover, tears streaming down her face before she knew it.She has a lot of thoughts and feelings in her heart, and she guesses all kinds of possibilities in her heart, but the result of every possibility is irreversible.

She looked at Mrs. Jiang's pale face and said, "I know that the Jiang family has some secret influence in the capital these years. I will find a way to solve the matter of food and grass for the general."

She had already spent several thousand taels of silver bills and hoarded a large amount of grain and rice, which could meet Jiang Ling's urgent needs.

Jin Chuan helped Su Mei get up, "Please also ask the old lady to send the grain and grass to Shuozhou."

Mrs. Jiang knows that Su Mei is the daughter of the grand master's concubine, and she is not a flower in a greenhouse that has never experienced storms. She also appreciates her intelligence and calmness. If there is no enmity between the two of them, she is naturally worthy of Jiang Ling. Mrs. Jiang is quite He sighed regretfully.
