Chapter 243 War

"Oh, lady, it will be in production in more than a month. You should be careful..."

The green cloud led Sheng Ruoxi into the yard. Seeing that Lv Xianger was about to bend down to fold the flowers, she screamed and ran over quickly and helped up Lv Xianger. With the cry of green clouds, Lv Xiu also ran out of the room with a cloak.

When Sheng Ruoxi saw the nervous appearance of the two maids, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiang'er, you're about to be a mother, and you're so worry-free. No wonder General Huo told his aunt and me to come to see you more before he left.

"What's the matter? I'll be careful myself." Lv Xianger found that Lv Yun was staring at Lv Xiu and shook her head helplessly: "Lv Yun, go make a pot of tea and ask the kitchen to add more dishes."

"Xiang'er, I often come to see you these days. I've gained some weight." Sheng Ruoxi touched his face and wanted to say that he would not stay for dinner, but he couldn't say it because he thought of Lv Xianger's cook.

Lv Xianger looked at Sheng Ruoxi's entangled appearance and smiled again: "It's better to be fat. You didn't say that your husband thought you were thin before. When he comes back this time, he will be happy because you have gained weight.

"That's what you said, but I don't know when he will come back." Sheng Ruoxi and Li Wenhao just got married, and Li Wenhao left Dengzhou with Huo Qingsong. Sheng Ruoxi really misses him very much.

It has been more than three months since the day Li Wenhao and Sheng Ruoxi got married. No one would have thought that Zheng Tong, who came to Dengzhou to take people with the aggressive momentum, would be 'taken' by the imperial edict suddenly taken out by Huo Qingsong. Even if Zheng Tong wants to fight back, it is useless, because the talisman in Huo Qingsong's hand is under the control of the emperor, which can mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty. With it in hand, those Yu Linwei immediately stood at Huo Qingsong's side, leaving Zheng Tong alone.

The first confrontation between Zheng Tong and Huo Qingsong ended in a fiasco. Later, under the guidance of Huo Qingsong, he told all the news of Jingshi. Only then did Huo Qingsong and Li Feng know that Beijing Normal University had undergone earth-shaking changes. They didn't expect that there was no news from Beijing for more than a month, and the whole court was in He Taishi's hands.

Zhao Changyuan, for some reason, suddenly got bedridden. Xiang Concubine temporarily replaced the government on the grounds of Zhao Changyuan's temporary entrustment, and He Taishi and other ministers assisted him. At the same time, Concubine Xiang also issued several imperial edicts in the name of Zhao Changyuan. Among them, Zhao Chenggao, the king of Kang, was appointed as the crown prince and urgently called him back to the capital. It seems that Zhao Chenggao will succeed to the throne as soon as his majesty dies.

Of course, there are some old ministers like Li Xingzhou, Song Beiqiao, Wen Taifu and finally Zhao Changyuan in the capital. Of course, they will not watch He Taishi's party 'taking the emperor to make the princes', and they are also prepared. But I didn't expect that the most important Yu Linwei in the capital had already been controlled by He Taishi. These old ministers, like the former prince Zhao Chengyu, the king of Huainan, Zhao Chengru, the king of Liang, and Zhao Chengmin, the king of Duan, were imprisoned in their mansions by the sudden Yulin guards and were not allowed to go in and out.

Of course, He Taishi can master Yu Linwei and most of the troops of the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to Zheng Baiyang, who had just been promoted to the Ministry of War half a year ago. Because of this, Zheng Tong became a general of the fourth grade. And when He Taishi took control of the troops in the frontier, the whole Zhou Dynasty would fall into his hands. With most of the troops of the Zhou Dynasty, it would not be difficult for He Taishi to 'change the dynasty' at this time.

As for Lv Hong, because of Lv Xianger, he was transferred to all positions by Xiangfei and temporarily went to the Principality to stay with Wen Yao. Because of Song Beiqiao, Xiangfei still has some scruples about moving Lv Hong. After knowing this, Lv Xianger felt sad for a while. It was Huo Qingsong and Mrs. Li who persuaded him several times before Lv Xianger reluctantly smiled.

Sheng Ruoxi knew when she saw Lv Xianger's expression. She remembered Lv Hong's story again and couldn't help comforting him, "Xiang'er, General Huo and Wen Hao will protect King Duan back to Beijing. They will definitely capture all those traitors and thieves and save the old prince and the prince. Don't worry too much. I remember that when King Chen's Rebellion, General Huo's name was already a household name. Today's General Huo not only has military charms, but also has more strategies. He will definitely calm down this matter soon.

"I also hope it will calm down soon." Lv Xianger sighed gently, but remembered the past dynasties, and every coup was full of blood. She has no other wishes, but she hopes that her relatives and friends will be safe and sound.

Thinking about the situation of Jingshi at this time, Lv Xianger suddenly said 'Ouch' and covered her stomach. Sheng Ruoxi immediately got up and came to Lv Xianger's side, helped her and whispered, "What's the matter, this child kicked you again?"

"Yes, in the past few days, there has been nothing wrong with this grinding." Lv Xianger bent over and gently stroked her belly for a while before she took a soft breath. As soon as she straightened up, she saw that Lu Wei, who had always been steady, trotted all the way into the yard.

Lv Xianger was puzzled, and her mouth was not idle: "Lvwei, but did Lang Jun get the news back?"

"No, no, lady, it's the border pass..." Lvwei ran to Lv Xianger's approach and forgot to salute Sheng Ruoxi. He said urgently, "Just now, the people in the city were rumored that the soldiers of Gaochang were attacking the border gate. The messengers at the border gate went to Li's house and asked General Li to go to the border gate to resist foreign enemies.

"What?" Lv Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi screamed at the same time and stood up. Although Sheng Ruoxi was taught well by the Sheng family, she had never encountered such a thing. She couldn't help looking at Lv Xianger and said anxiously, "Xiang'er, what can I do? What can I do?"

"Don't worry, let's go to Li's house to see what's going on." Lv Xianger was also a little panicked, but she still comforted Sheng Ruoxi. At the same time, she also looked at Lu Wei and motioned her to prepare the carriage.

Sheng Ruoxi was also reminded by Lv Xianger that she remembered that she should go back to the house. She nodded blankly and echoed, "Yes, yes, it's time to go back home."

"Ruoxi, don't be nervous. The border gate is not so close to Dengzhou. Besides, there is General Li. Mrs. Li is here. Gao Changguo will definitely not be able to attack. Lu Xianger held Sheng Ruoxi's hand and slowly walked out of the house. But in Lu Xianger's heart, she was very confused. It is too coincidental that Gao Changguo invaded the border gates at this time as soon as the 'Cun' coup took place in the Zhou Dynasty.

However, Lv Xianger's little doubt was forgotten when she sat in the carriage and saw the behavior of the people in Dengzhou City. Because some rich merchants in the city stood at their doors and directed their servants to carry wooden boxes. Looking at the carriages, you will know that he is preparing for a 'faraway'.

"Green Show, go down and ask why those people left Dengzhou." Lv Xianger had heard Mrs. Li talk about the wars at the border and knew that those wars rarely affected the normal life in Dengzhou. But what I saw today made Lv Xianger puzzled.

Sheng Ruoxi just got married in Dengzhou, but she didn't know anything. While thinking about whether to go back to Huaifeng Mansion first, I was still thinking about my cousin Sheng Yun. I don't know why he abandoned his family business and stayed in such a dangerous place. When she is free, she must write to her uncle and ask him to recall Sheng Yun to Huaifeng Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of Li's house, as soon as Lv Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi got out of the carriage, they saw the door suddenly open. Li Feng, dressed in a uniform, was accompanied by Mrs. Li and came out of the house with several bodyguards. The couple saw Lv Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi, and their footsteps suddenly stopped and looked at each other.

"Xiang'er, Ruoxi, madam will tell you everything later. I'll go to the border first." Li Feng nodded to Lv Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi, and then got on the horse led by the servants in the house and rode the horse to the north gate.

Mrs. Li looked at Li Feng away, and then walked to them and took their hands. She whispered, "Let's go. Let's go into the house. It's too conspicuous here."

Lv Xianger and Sheng Ruoxi also noticed the people around them. They seemed to be paying attention to all the movements here, so they nodded without saying a sound. After entering the door, Lv Xianger couldn't help whispering, "Madam, why didn't you go to the border with General Li?"

"Do you think I don't want to go? In just a few years, Ju Chenhao has calmed down several small countries in Gaochang, which shows how capable he is. But Dengzhou can't be chaotic. I must stay here to stabilize the hearts of the people. Mrs. Li waited for the three of them to enter the hall before she sighed gently, and the sadness between her eyebrows also emerged.

Hearing what Mrs. Li said, Lv Xianger immediately said everything she had just seen on the way, and asked, "Madam, why did the people in the city react so much?"

"No, they all heard about Ju Chenhao's experience. They were afraid that if the border gate could not be defended, Dengzhou would become the next place to be attacked, so they were ready to go south to hide." Mrs. Li rubbed her eyebrows, stood up again, and continued, "No, I can't sit in the house to stabilize their hearts. Xiang'er, you can stay in the house with Ruoxi first, and I'll go to the government office. You two should remember not to leave the house easily before I go back home. Both the general and I suspect that there seems to be Gao Chang's meticulous work in this city, which will take advantage of this time to seduce people and provoke civil strife.

"Don't worry, Madam, we have written it down." Lv Xianger nodded, and Sheng Ruoxi did not forget to remind Mrs. Li to be careful. The two sent Dr. Li out of the house before returning to the hall and sitting down.

Lv Xianger's heart was a little irritable, and she didn't sit very well. After thinking about it, Lv Xianger got up and said to Sheng Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, it seems that I haven't incensed the old lady for a long time. I want to see the old lady. If you can't smell the incense candles, just sit in my yard. You know how to make green tea. After a while, I will come back to talk to you..."
