41 My mother is also surnamed Cheng
There is no need to inquire anymore. Qing Mei almost died for Han Zhiyu, so who can doubt her again?
Another half month passed, and Luocheng finally found out that the assassin that night was actually a detailed work placed by the imperial court in Guan Cangjun. When he was about to be severely questioned, he bit his teeth and died of blood from his seven orifices.
For a time, Guan Cang's army was in danger. Everyone looked like a detailed work, and no one had any evidence to identify the other party as a detailed work.
Qingmei's injuries were already recovered and she was able to get out of bed and exercise. That night, she came to Jiang Ci's house to express her gratitude for saving her life.
Before leaving, she said thoughtfully: "Miss Jiang is born so beautiful, it's strange..."
She left halfway through her words, which made Jiang Ci feel very upset.
She just thought this Qingmei was too strange.
After Qingmei left, Jiang Ci followed her quietly and saw her return to her house. Nothing happened in the whole night. She felt deeply that she was thinking too much.
Unexpectedly, two days later, a fire suddenly caught on the mountain, and a big fire burned the Guan Cang army's food and grass.
Although there were fruits and prey in the mountains, Guan Cang's soldiers were numerous, and they could not last long with these alone. Wei Shao ordered Han Zhiyu and Li Tuo to go down the mountain to transport grain. Soon after going down the mountain, they encountered their mortal rivals Wawuzhai. Both sides were injured. Han Zhiyu and Li Tuo led their troops back to the mountain.
Two days later, Han Zhiyu and Li Tuo went down the mountain again. This time they came prepared, but they were not attacked by mortal enemies. However, they gained little. It is said that the court sent troops to eliminate the Jiangzhou army that had made a comeback and seized all the surrounding grain. No matter whether they robbed or bought it, they could not get a few bags of food.
He was panicked when he had no food. Wei Shao held an emergency meeting overnight. Han Zhiyu slapped his thigh: "Grandma, the court has confiscated all the food. Let's eat a lot of food, it's better to rob the court's food and grass!"
Li Tuo agreed: "Brother Han is right. These dog officials in the court know how to loot the people. If we rob food and grass, and kill these dog officials, it can be considered a vent of anger for the people!"
Luo Cheng shook his head: "I heard that the commander of the commander who led the troops to suppress Jiangzhou army this time was Zhao Yuanqi, the prince of the King of Yan. He is not a vegetarian. This matter needs to be discussed for a long time."
Wei Shao nodded: "The court's men were intended to destroy the Jiangzhou army. If our army rashly robbed the court's food and grass, wouldn't it cause fire? I'm not afraid of the court's people, but I just don't want the Jiangzhou army to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" He paused, "But the food and grass must be robbed, and we can't let everyone go hungry. When the army's spirit is shaken, it will cause trouble!"
The military advisor next to him, whether it was because of the star signs at night or something else, his eyes were blue, and he pretended to be deep and frowned. He calculated his fingers, and first talked about a bunch of profound astronomical phenomena that others could not understand, and then sighed.
"The lucky star is not our side. The battle to seize food is unpredictable, but..." He suddenly changed his mind, "The purple air came from the east, soaring dozens of feet into the sky, and the auspicious wind and clouds are as if the star of the world was born. This battle may be possible."
When Wei Shao heard that Baxing was born, a light flashed in his eyes: "Oh, who is Baxing the military advisor talking about?"
The military advisor smiled mysteriously: "Who else can be there besides the lord?"
Wei Shao was overjoyed and laughed: "God really helped me. Han Zhiyu, Li Tuo, tomorrow you will each bring 500 elite soldiers, and the troops will be divided into two groups, lying in ambush on Babanpo and Meihualing."
The two stood up together: "I am grateful to you."
Wei Shao continued: "Luocheng, you lead two thousand elite troops to the dense forest at the Longxiakou flank on the flank of the imperial camp in the imperial camp, and once the imperial soldiers get the news to rescue, you must lead troops to block the attack, buy time, let Han Zhiyu and Li Tuo successfully seize the food and grass."
...
On the other side.
Lin looked at Jiang Ci with a serious expression, and then looked at the old woman standing next to her with her head down: "A Ci, I can't let you go down the mountain, but this situation is urgent. You are not a soldier Guan Cang, so you shouldn't bear this disaster. You can go down the mountain with Madam An!"
For some reason, her eyelids kept twitching, and she always felt something big had happened.
Jiang Ci didn't want to be at the critical moment of life and death, and Lin was still considering her safety so much. She was moved and aroused the loyalty in her heart: "No, madam, I won't leave, I will stay here to accompany you."
"Aci, be obedient!" Lin clapped her hand with red eyes, "If you really want to wait for the trouble to disappear, you can come up the mountain. But Aci, you must promise me that you must not tell me what you saw and heard in the mountains, even if you cannot mention it to your husband."
"Yeah." Jiang Ci choked and said, "Madam, why do you trust me so much?"
"I'm going to tell you, I've always treated you as a daughter." Lin's eyes turned redder, "Do you still remember? When I saw you, I said you were similar to an old friend."
“…Well, remember.”
"That old friend is a sister who grew up with me. Although she is not a real sister, she is better than a real sister. But later the sister moved her family and I contacted her less. Later..." There was no contact with her anymore, and she choked up, "I saw you as if I had seen her back then, and the more I looked at her, the more I looked at her."
"Who is she?"
"This..." Lin hesitated for a moment and said only three words, "Her surname is Cheng."
She shouldn't have said too much, after all, she is a thief. Once she tells who her sister is, others can follow the clues to know who she is. At that time, the Meng family may cause trouble from the sky. She betrayed her parents and cannot be filial to her bed. This is a serious crime. If she suffers from her family again, wouldn't the sin be even more serious?
But now, I am afraid that there will be no more meeting with A Ci. If she is confused, she will not give up, but she just dare not say too much.
"My surname is Cheng?" Jiang Ci realized something, "My mother's surname is Cheng."
"What's your mother's name?"
"Cheng Wanbai."
"What?" Lin clasped her hand excitedly, and curled up the already dusty past, tears fell like rain, "You are really Sister Wanbai's child. How are Sister Wanbai?"
"My mother... has been dead for many years."
She had no memories of her mother, just like a stranger. When she mentioned it again, she couldn't say how sad she was, but she just felt sad.
"Sister, she...is actually dead."
Lin was so sad that she couldn't say anything. Over the years, not only her childhood playmates, but also her parents and brothers had given up. Only she could understand how much pain, how much debt, and how much torture she buried in her heart.
But for her husband, for her husband, who can even have life, she never regrets everything she has done.
Not regretting does not mean no pain or regret.
At this moment, all emotions came like surging waves.
