Chapter 1149 Today is not a good day!

law!""Alright, Grandma, don't worry!"Everybody laughed and agreed.Soon, it was the day of their marriage.The Earl's mansion was adorned with brocade and red lanterns both inside and out. A large red c...Especially hearing the commotion, the general's wife hurried over to investigate, but upon seeing it, she turned around and went back, instructing her maidservants and nurses to prepare things.

Holding military power, looking imposing and powerful, in reality, one must always be extremely careful in their actions. Otherwise, they risk being accused of disrespect and plotting rebellion.

At this time, I'm afraid the entire southwest was watching the Prince's Mansion. Everything had to be done perfectly.

The house was changed to pure white, not to mention preparing mourning clothes, and even sacrificial objects.

Even if one cannot go to the palace to mourn, one must still kneel at home!

The military advisor was originally going to enter the capital today. Upon hearing this, he exchanged glances with General Lu, both feeling a sense of relief in their hearts.

The Empress has passed away, wouldn't it be disrespectful for the third princess to become pregnant during her mourning period That would be incredibly unfilial.

Thus, even if the Crown Prince is truly in danger, there's no need to rush to his rescue. At the very least, we can delay for half a year.

Two men called a messenger forward and asked him some details carefully.

The messenger didn't hold back and told all the news he knew.

Finally, he took the reward and left.

General Lu and the military advisor calculated the days. They sent this urgent message 800 li, but by the time it arrived, the empress had already been mourning for three days.

The strategist said, "General, I'd better wait a while before going to Xindu. Since the Empress has passed away, everyone in Xindu will be preoccupied with mourning and settling things down. It's unlikely that there will be any major disturbances."

The old general shook his head. "You still have to go. I'm not at ease."

The strategist was about to speak when a commotion outside the courtyard gate broke out again, causing both him and the old general to frown.

These days, haven't I done anything wrong Why can't even the door close properly!

The busy and flustered steward appeared again, followed not by a messenger but by a young attendant in blue.

As soon as the steward stepped across the threshold, he said, "General, Mr. Li, the County Magistrate of Fengshan, has sent a message!"

After saying that, he stood sideways, subtly blocking the path between the newcomer and the general.

This is a loyal person.

It's not that there is no complete trust in guests, but to protect the master from harm.

The manager of the Green Shirt Small Hat smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. He looked very young.

He displayed a jade pendant, the very same one Li Jiaren had been wearing on his waist yesterday when he visited.

This proved his identity, and then he said, "General Lu, are you well Our lord returned to Fengshan last night, but encountered a Mi Le Sect instigating the people to riot and attack the county seat, intending to seize grain. Our lord specially sent me to deliver a message, asking General Lu to be on high alert as a major upheaval may be imminent."

What!

Both General Lu and the military advisor were startled.

General Lu quickly asked, "Sir Li, have you been injured How is Fengshan County now"

The steward of the Qingyi Xiaomo chuckled and replied, “Thank you General for your concern. Our madam has learned a little self-defense since she was young, and it happens that the people around her are also from our own merchant caravan. The caravan members were all old soldiers chosen by the Marquis for the county lord, each one capable of fighting ten.”

"So, none of us adults were hurt. Even the people in the same city defense camp worked together to completely crush the trail of the Mi Le sect. We adults even personally chopped off the arms of the Mi Le church leader!"

It was obvious, he witnessed it with his own eyes last night, and even now as he spoke about it, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

He held up a letter in both hands and said, "This is written by our superiors. The details are all in here. Please take a look, General."

The steward quickly took the letter and presented it to the general.

The general opened it, and after looking through it with his military advisor, both remained silent for a long time.

I thought after yesterday's visit, they would have already had a high opinion of Li Jaren.

To my surprise, this young county magistrate, who has only been in office for half a year, is still so brave and generous!

They don't know anything about the teachings of Maitreya.

If Li Jiaren hadn't reminded him and they hadn't taken precautions, the border gates would have been opened. Then the entire Tianwu would be in danger, and the Lu family would all have their necks waiting to be chopped off!

General Lu sighed. Although his son had made a mistake, he scolded him out of frustration, but deep down, he still felt a tinge of resentment.

Now, any trace of defiance has completely vanished.

To be inferior to others, is simply to be inferior to others!

"This young brother, after you return, please thank the elders on my behalf. On another day, I will personally come to express my gratitude."

"No need for such formalities, General!" The young woman in blue bowed and then turned to leave without lingering.

The Steward also saw that the man was here to help, so he quickly said, "Brother, stay and have a bowl of vegetarian noodles. The road back is not short."

But the official refused and replied, "We officials are busy gathering people from nearby villages. The city is bustling with activity inside and out. I must return to help. Thank you for your kindness, steward. Perhaps another time, I can taste the skill of your kitchen mistress."

The military advisor, after listening to them, stepped out of the courtyard and said, "General, under these circumstances, I cannot immediately enter the capital."

The old general nodded, "Things happened suddenly, everything is about the safety of the border."

The two people huddled together, beginning to strategize a response.

Then, General Lu went back to the camp and summoned his generals for a war council...

Without saying that chaos was imminent in the southwest, let's just say that in Xin'du, Li Lao Tai and Jia Yin went to the palace day after day. They usually knelt for a while to make a show of it, then went to the side hall.

Jia Yin copied scriptures and ate fruit with the third princess. Old Madam Li rested.

Occasionally, the prince would also bring the little fox over, and talk to it.

So, both the grandparent and grandchild didn't suffer much.

Thanks to their efforts, other elderly women also received preferential treatment.

Although he still had to kneel, it was in a side hall, with an ice basin and tea water.

But those young brides were unlucky.

Such weather, wearing layers of filial mourning attire and constantly wiping away tears with a handkerchief to create the appearance of grief.

Besides having a half hour rest at noon, one kneels for the whole day.

Almost every day, wives are carried out suffering from heatstroke!

One lucky woman was found to be pregnant and was granted amnesty by the Third Princess to return home for rest.

For a time, I don't know how many people jealously gritted their teeth in secret!

Similarly, this is also a good time for the prince to win people's hearts.

Among the officials of civil and military ranks kneeling in the square, even elderly ministers had been moved to a different location so they wouldn't be exposed to the sun.

Mr. Liu, the elderly patriarch, was among them. Li Laoer and Mr. Wen were also called away by the eunuch, under the pretext of redistributing personnel to assist the Ministry of Rites in arranging funeral arrangements.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Only Liu Ziheng, the one in charge of the farmland, was left behind, getting darker by the day from the sun.

On the frontier of Jiangbei, in the barracks of the garrison troops.

Wei Erniu was personally helping the Marquis put on his armor. He felt very guilty; if it weren't for him saving the Marquis, he wouldn't have been injured.

Although the wound medicine at home is the best in the world, after so many days of treatment, the Marquis's wound has scabbed over.

But the blood loss was too severe to make up for in a short time.

The lord's face was pale, and he looked weak in every way.

He couldn't help but want to say a few words of advice, but before he could speak, Li Lao Si and Jiang Cheng walked in.

When Jiang Cheng saw the Duke like this, he immediately panicked.

"My lord, you've just arrived, and you're leaving for the campaign already Surely not!"

The Lord waved his hand and replied, “In wartime, there is no time to spare. We must fight quickly, resolve the conflict swiftly, and regain control of Jiangbei completely. After that, we will have plenty of time to recuperate.”

Today's update is here~~~s a result, yesterday Mr. Mo Mei and several other senior gentlemen went to their door personally, demanding that they honor their gambling agreement and quickly transfer the shop to the Li family.The...
