Real Empress from a Noble Family

Chapter 324 Rebelling at War

When girls in Jing City asked about the situation in Shazhou...

Shazhou...

The base camp of the Western Army...

In the wild snow, Kuang Qingwu carefully opened the curtain and immediately heard a suppressed cough.

He couldn’t help frowning, quickly turned back to close the door, and strode into the screen. Mr. Leshan, who had always been indifferent and reserved, lay pale in the brocade tent, and the bookboy in front of the bed was carefully blowing the bowl of medicine soup in his hands.

“Let me serve him.” Kuang Qingwu stepped forward and said.

Mr. Leshan suddenly fell ill.

Since arriving here, he had almost stayed in the camp and barely been out. Sometimes he went to the camp of the general or that of Kuang Qingwu to chat with them. The charcoal fire was burning in these camps day and night. It was warm as spring. When they went out, they had all kinds of fox fur and mink hat on, but just walked nearby.

With this kind of treatment, how could he be frozen to sickness? Soldiers on guard in the army were far inferior to him in food, shelter, and clothing, but few of them were taken ill.

However, the icy and snowy climate in Xijiang was not suitable for living. Mr. Leshan was resourceful, but he was just a weak scholar.

It had been three days since he fell ill. In the past three days, Kuang Shihan invited the best doctor in Shazhou and took out a batch of valuable medicinal materials he had collected. He did his best. However, Mr. Leshan hadn’t been able to recover from it, and now he seemingly got worse.

Kuang Qingwu was very worried.

The bookboy looked at Mr. Leshan when hearing his request. Seeing that the master neither agree nor refuse, he handed out the medicine bowl without saying a word and got up to stand aside.

“It seems that Mr. Leshan’s cough is more severe than yesterday.” After Mr. Leshan had drank the medicine, Kuang Qingwu still frowned, “The base camp is not a proper place to recuperate.”

He pondered and finally put forward his suggestion, “Sir, how about sending you to my mansion in Shazhou for recuperation?”

Both Mr. Leshan and he enjoyed the best in the base camp of the Western Army. Some things Mr. Leshan had were better than Kuang Shihan had. However, this was the base camp of the army which could not be as comfortable and livable as their houses.

In the past, Mr. Leshan was ever ill, but soon he recovered after drinking the medicine soup.

This time, it was getting worse and worse. Kuang Qingwu thought it was because he didn’t live in a good environment.

“It is true that living in Shazhou will make me get better soon.” Mr. Leshan looked very weak, his hoarse voice revealing his tiredness, “but you can’t go. If the army can’t enter the city, it will be too dangerous for you to take only bodyguards.”

Kuang Qingwu was pleased and said with a smile, “Sir, I can go secretly and dress up as a bodyguard. Anyway, in this season, everyone dresses themselves up thickly. Who can recognize me?”

“Then I won’t go.” Mr. Leshan’s way of persuading Kuang Qingwu was always so simple and crude, but the effect was often surprisingly good. Kuang Qingwu had been well-prepared to argue, but for once, his voice had left him, and then he gave in helplessly, “Then I’ll prepare bodyguards for you.”

“Not too well-picked, not too many.” Mr. Leshan gave a command calmly, “or it will cause a disaster for me and also waste your father’s men... Just arrange a few soldiers to take my luggage for my bookboy and coachman. I’m a scholar. No one will care about me. ”

Kuang Qingwu knew his temper, so he forced a smile and said, “Yes, Sir!”

After going out, he went to see Zheng, the one who could talk to as will Naturally, he could speak straightly, “Mr. Leshan doesn’t want me to take risks, but he won’t be very well if he doesn’t go to the city any more... After all, he is also at this age. I’m going to send my bodyguards, but I’m afraid that he won’t like it. ”

Zheng pondered, “Young Prince, what Mr. Leshan said is very reasonable. If you only send ordinary soldiers, others won’t think that he is an important person and they won’t embarrass Mr. Leshan. If it’s your bodyguards that escort him, everyone knows that it must be someone you attach great importance to. I’m afraid those bad guys will choose Mr. Wang as their target!”

He knew Kuang Qingwu’s affection for Mr. Leshan and his dependence on him, so he hid some words. Kuang Shihan was forced by his son to separate some of his confidants to kill Qiu Jinglan. However, in the battle of Xiaoshashan mountain, although he killed Qiu Jinglan’s subordinates and the Jiang Family’s men, Qiu Jinglan escaped at last.

As long as Qiu Jinglan was alive, those people couldn’t come back and Kuang Shihan had less people to use.

These days, the Jiang Family and Qiu Jinglan’s subordinates kept in frequent contact with the old subordinates of the Ruan Family and Qiu Family in the Western Army. Although Kuang Shihan had made preparations for this, he couldn’t relax.

The current situation was that Kuang Shihan had to monitor and watch out for these subordinates, and meanwhile he was collecting evidence in order to settle down the conflicts once and for all. But he was short of manpower. If he sent many elites to escort Mr. Leshan to Shazhou for recuperation, he wouldn’t afford it.

So Zheng thought that if Mr. Leshan wanted to go to Shazhou to recuperate, it would be bad to send too many people for him.

Kuang Qingwu hesitated, “When Mr. Leshan had just arrived in Shazhou, that man was very polite to him. It’s not a secret. ”

“It was many years ago. How many people remember it now?” Zheng advised, “and if we don’t send a few people to deliver him now, others will think that although the master valued him very much in those days, it was just so-so at the critical moment... After all, if you do according to his words, he may be safe, but if you don’t do what he said, he would surely attract the attention of all parties. At that time, without the protection of an army, it won’t be something that one or two elite teams can deal with.”

Seeing Kuang Qingwu still frowning, Zheng offered his trump card, “This is also the intention of Mr. Leshan. Do you want to make him unhappy?”

“Then do as he said.” Kuang Qingwu hesitated for a long time and sighed. He was afraid most of offending Mr. Leshan.

But he didn’t know something at all. In the afternoon, a horse-drawn carriage set out for Shazhou city in the snow. In the carriage, Mr. Leshan wasn’t sick at all. He asked the bookboy who was “taking care of” him, “Are there just a few people outside?”

“Just a few people outside.” In front of Kuang Qingwu, the boy who had always been silent, timid, and so dull, pulled out a short sword with cold light from his sleeve nimbly and asked, “Shall I kill them now?”

“No need!” Mr. Leshan said indifferently, “let them accompany us to the city. They are just some common soldiers and no one in the city will be alerted when we send them away. If they were killed on the road and found by the soldiers of the army or other people passing by, it would be bad. Moreover, according to Kuang’s strategy, he must have arranged his men in the guards of Shazhou and the mansion in the city. If these people found out that these people were missing and told Kuang, it would cause trouble. Now it is the time. We should be more careful not to fail. ”

The bookboy immediately put away the sword and said with a smile, “Yes, I will obey you, my master.”

“It is not safe to ask too much in the camp. We should avoid causing suspicion of Kuang.” When referring to the father and son of the Kuang Family who had great respect for him, Mr. Leshan showed a disgust and ordered the bookboy in a low voice, “after entering the city, I will immediately record the layout, arrangement and the distribution of troops of Kuang and the whole assessment of him. When you get to the place, ask them how is the young master these days.”

He took out a porcelain vase from his sleeve and his eyes were deep. He said, “This is the pill Kuang Qingwu gave me. If the young master is not good over there, let them send someone who can be trusted to deliver this medicine as soon as possible.”

When Mr. Leshan ordered the bookboy like so, two rows of giant candles of tallow lighted the temporary tent in the hills hundreds of miles away from Shazhou.

On the left, Qiu Jinglan wore armor and held his sword, his face pale and his wound still hurting. His eyes, as sharp as the blade, swept over the ten people on the right. He said, “Haven’t you finished your thoughts about it up to now?”

“Young master.” More than a dozen messengers looked at each other and the one sitting on the seat of the first guest stood up and answered, “it’s not that we don’t believe you, or that we are frightened. It’s really that the Kuang is not a problem. We should worry about those who in the Royal Court.”

“If you are talking about Empress Dowager Gu, you can rest assured.” Before Qiu Jinglan answered, the man in armor standing behind him said loudly, “Now, Emperor has his grandsons. However, the Regent of the Empress Dowager has not stopped yet. Empress Dowager Gu has violated the unfulfilled will of the gone Emperor and was ashamed of herself when facing Chu’s ancestors. If it were not for Kuang who was revenged on General of Warrior, usurped the power of the Western Army, and offered it to the Gu family, which made our Marquess surrender to Empress Dowager Gu for the country, Marquess would have been taking the lead in inviting His Majesty to come to power and give Darui fairness and justice. What you are doing is a great feat of killing bad people who impose negative effect on Emperor and make the country sink into chaos. Marquess won’t let you be punished by Empress Dowager Gu.”

This man was the person who was sent by the Jiang Family to protect and assist Qiu Jinglan in Shazhou.

Just after hearing his words, the messengers of the Western Army generals hesitated for a while and looked at Qiu Jinglan.

“Marquess Qin is a trustworthy man.” Qiu Jinglan said calmly. Then these people were relaxed and saluted to that man, “General Wang, please don’t blame us, this matter is vital, if we don’t ask clearly, we won’t be able to answer when we return and thus will be punished.”

General Wang felt a little worried, “These days, we have been following Qiu Jinglan and meeting with these people. We have given private benefits to them constantly and they also accepted, but I didn’t expect that they only believe Qiu Jinglan at the critical moment. No wonder Marquess ordered that when we helped Qiu Jinglan, we should not underestimate him just because of the help of the Jiang Family.”

However, he replied calmly, “You are welcome. That’s my duty.”

At the moment, he gushed out the promise that Marquess Qin had personally taught him before he left. The content was nothing but to let these old subordinates of the Ruan Family and the Qiu Family rest assured and follow Qiu Jinglan boldly. He also emphasized the friendship between the Jiang Family and Qiu Jinglan. Of course, the marriage between Qiu Yelan and Jiang Yashuang must be mentioned. Anyway, it meant that you fought and the Jiang Family dealt with the aftermath.

From time to time, Qiu Jinglan also helped to explain and praise the generosity and righteousness of the Jiang Family. In a word, the tense atmosphere at the beginning of the meeting became relaxing and friendly at last.

Although the messengers said that they could not make decisions on behalf of their masters, they all revealed that most of their masters would promise. Of course, the Jiang family would also benefit them because of this. After all, the masters of these messengers could not come here in person for the meeting. Their choices were based on the reports of the messengers.

The Jiang Family had planned for years. They couldn’t fail at this point.

Qiu Jinglan calmly looked at General Wang who was suggesting his subordinates to reward the messengers in front of him. He was not angry, but Ruan Yi, who served him alone and removed his armor, was in anger, “Young master, why don’t you do anything? ”
