Chapter 627 Rebellion

As soon as she entered the room, Qiu Shi asked Yuxi: "You just said that your second brother is fine, did you really lie to me?" When she heard this today, she felt that the sky was about to fall. The pain of losing a child made her lose her mind, so she wanted to ask Yuxi for an accurate explanation.

Yu Xi hummed and said: "Mother, the second elder brother is serving for the prince now, and will come back after the battle in Shu is over."

Qiu Shi still said dubiously: "You didn't lie to me?" Before that, she always thought that Han Jianye was in Yucheng, and she even received a letter from Han Jianye. But the facts show that all this is lying to her.

Yuxi said: "Mother, what did I lie to you for? If you don't believe me, I'll write to ask my second brother to come back now."

Qiu hesitated for a moment and said: "You don't need to come back, you ask him to write a letter to me." Qiu wanted Han Jianye to come back, but Han Jianye went to fight in Shu to make contributions. If you let him come back now, you will delay the business, and your son will definitely blame her.

Yuxi nodded and agreed: "Mother, I want the second sister-in-law to take the child back to Haocheng, what do you think?" It can be seen from today's events that the Han family is now in a mess. When Lu Xiu returns to Pickaxe City, it will also change the current situation of the Han Mansion.

I didn't mention this before, because Qiu Shi didn't know about it yet, and was worried about Qiu Shi. Now that everything has been said, there is nothing to worry about.

These words won Qiu's heart: "Then let your second sister-in-law come back quickly." The little grandson has been beating for months, and she hasn't seen him yet! And this time back to Pickaxe City, it is estimated that he will not leave again.

Yu Xi asked: "How is sister-in-law doing recently? Has she turned pale yet?" Mrs. Ye has been feeling unwell for three days or two now, and all the doctors in Pick City have seen it, but it's useless.

Qiu shook her head and said: "She is suffering from a heart disease, it is very difficult to cure." If she hadn't been thinking about Qiqi, she might have gone with her little granddaughter at that time.

Without saying a word, Mei Lan said outside: "Princess, Master Liu, please see me."

Yu Xi said with an apologetic expression: "Mother, I have something to do here, I'll deal with it first. When I have some free time, I'll go to the house and have a good chat with my mother."

Qiu Shi knew that Yu Xi was very busy, so she didn't say anything: "Then you go! I'm going back too." As for the beating just now, Qiu Shi didn't feel the nerve to bring it up again.

Yuxi looked at Mama Li, and said lightly: "Mother Li, take care of the old lady." He will ask Xu Wu to investigate this matter carefully to see who is gossiping beside her. It was also because she was too busy during this time, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the Han family. But I don't want people to take advantage of the loopholes.

Madam Li felt a chill on her back, and said, "Don't worry, Wangfei, I will definitely take good care of the old madam." She was also careless this time, and she did not expect that a disaster would come into the upper court.

It's already June, and there will be a bumper harvest next month. Liu Biyuan came here this time because of Xia Harvest. Tan Tuo is too busy, and now all the farming work is handed over to Liu Biyuan.

After talking for nearly an hour, Liu Biyuan left. Only then did Yuxi call Xu Wu over, and asked if the doctor had come.

Xu Wu smiled and said: "It's just a few blows, and the old lady has no strength at all, so why do I need a doctor?" Compared with their usual training, this is nothing at all.

Yuxi said: "Let Dr. He show them, if there is any problem, we can treat it in time. In addition, we will give each of them twenty taels of silver and take two days off." Didn't say it, wouldn't it be chilling.

Xu Wu didn't delay either, and said with a smile: "Now they've all made money." Don't look at Yuxi who is usually frugal, but she is never stingy with the people below. Rewards are always generous and never stingy. The guards below and the housekeeper's mother-in-law also have things to send out during festivals.

Yuxi said: "It's not like that,

This is what they deserve. "No matter what, it's wrong for the Qiu family to beat someone up.

Xu Wu agreed with a smile. For Xu Wu, this is really a trivial matter.

The weather is gray and it looks like it's going to rain. But the battle on the city wall still hasn't stopped.

Lu Lin said: "Brother, it has been five days." It has been five days since Yunqing attacked the city. In the past five days, more than 40,000 people were killed or injured, while the Northwest Army suffered only a few more casualties. Most importantly, Jinzhou's defense is still very strong, showing no signs of defeat.

Lu Gang said with a sullen face: "Third brother, are you really planning to join Yunqing? Even if you have to bear the reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial for this?"

Lu Lin nodded and said, "Brother, you don't need to say any more, I've already thought about it, and I won't regret it."

Lu Gang patted Lu Lin on the shoulder, and said: "Since you have decided, brother will not say any more. From now on, you must be good." Lu Gang has already analyzed clearly with Lu Lin the pros and cons of taking refuge in Yunqing. clearly. But Lu Lin didn't change his mind after hearing this, so Lu Gang didn't say anything else.

At midnight that day, Lu Lin opened the city gate and let the Northwest Army enter the city. Lu Gang had no choice but to take the remaining soldiers and horses to retreat to the mountain city.

Lu Lin was different from other generals who had defected to the northwest because he had worked under Yun Qing before. Seeing Yunqing, Lu Lin knelt on the ground with his right knee and said, "The last general will see the prince."

Yun Qing walked over to help Lu Lin up and said, "You don't need to be polite, get up quickly." If Lu Lin didn't take the initiative to open the city gate, their casualties would have doubled. Jinzhou's defense is stronger than they imagined, and they may not be able to capture Jinzhou even if they pay a heavy price.

Yun Qing selected Lu Lin as the general of the third rank, which was the same rank as Han Jianye.

After the discussion, Lu Lin went to see Han Jianye: "I was very worried when I heard about your disappearance." If something happened to Han Jianye, his sister would become a widow. Having given birth to three sons, plus Han Yuxi's status, it is impossible for his sister to remarry.

Han Jianye had no shadow at all, and said with a hearty smile: "After a while, I will be able to fight the enemy with you." Han Jianye didn't mention a word about the injury before, and it was all in the past. It's not interesting either.

Lu Lin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

Sibenian handed a battle report to Yunqing.

After Yun Qing read the battle report, his expression was very ugly. Guan Tai was ambushed in Quzhong Town, killing and injuring more than 40,000 people. There are many mountains and forests around the mountain city, and the terrain is complicated. Even though Guan Tai had sent people to investigate before, he was still ambushed.

Hearing that Guan Tai was ambushed, Si Bonian said worriedly: "My lord, from this point of view, the mountain city is definitely a hard bone." Tens of thousands of people have been killed, and they have never suffered such a big loss before.

Yun Qing said: "Don't worry." Jinzhou was defeated, and it doesn't matter if the mountain city can't be defeated temporarily. Consuming them slowly will always kill them.

Jinzhou is the most prosperous place in Shu due to its flat terrain, criss-cross river network and abundant products. Now all of Jinzhou has fallen into their hands, and Zhou Jinpeng will stick to the mountain city, and it will be fine for a while. But if it takes a long time, it won't last.

Yunqing has been in charge of the army for many years and knows the pain of not having money. There are so many soldiers and horses in the mountain city, and Zhou Jinpeng will not have enough money to support so many people.

Si Bonian knew what Yunqing was thinking, and said, "If that's the case, then we have to send the letter to General Guan as soon as possible." The letter was delivered in time, and the loss could be minimized.

Yun Qing nodded.

The news that Lu Lin rebelled against Jinzhou and fell into Yunqing's hands reached the capital in a few days. Meng Nian said with an ugly expression: "We have been guarding against Lu Gang, but we never thought that it would be Lu Lin who defected in the end."

Yan Wushuang slammed the teacup on the table and said, "Lu Lin must have had contacts with the Northwest, but our people didn't find out?" This was a major mistake in their intelligence.

Meng Nian said: "My lord, Lu Lin has stayed in the Northwest for several years, and our people have been paying close attention to his movements. Before that, we didn't find anything inappropriate." With Lu Gang helping to deal with the aftermath, let alone Yunqing's people, even Zhou Jinpeng's people, didn't find anything wrong. The two missing people before only made Zhou Jinpeng suspect Lu Gang, not Lu Lin.

After a while, Yan Wushuang said: "Tell me, could this be Lu Gang's bitter trick?" Logically speaking, if there was a change in Lu Gang before, it is impossible for them and Zhou Jinpeng to not notice it. Unless someone is secretly protecting him, and this person is none other than Lu Gang.

Meng Nian looked terrified, and said, "Your Highness, you mean that Lu Gang has also defected to the Northwest. This time, he deliberately led his troops to escape to the mountain city. When the time comes, we will cooperate with the Northwest Army?"

Yan Wushuang said, "I can't rule out this possibility." The situation in Jinzhou is similar to that of a mountain city. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they have strong troops, strong horses and sufficient food and grass. If it were not for an accident, Yunqing would not be able to win Jinzhou at all.

Meng Nian said: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. The mountain city must never be lost again."

Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "Zhou Jinpeng is not a fool, he must be able to think of anything we can think of." They had always thought that Lu Gang was in control of the Lu family, and Lu Gang did not dare to make any changes. Unexpectedly, Lu Lin's accident still occurred. This means that people are not as good as heaven.

Meng Nian hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, what should we do with the members of the Lu family?" Lu Lin defected to the enemy, and it stands to reason that the Lu family should be executed. But because there is Lu Gang in the middle, and the second master Lu is still the deputy commander of the forbidden army. This matter is really tricky.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Wushuang said: "Arrest all the members of the Lu family." Even if Lu Gang didn't rebel, it's his dereliction of duty if Jinzhou is lost.

The Lu family's house was ransacked, and all members of the Lu family were arrested and imprisoned. Surrendering to the enemy and rebelling is a felony crime of ransacking one's family and destroying one's family, so no one dares to get involved in this matter. As for the girls of the Lu family who married in the capital, everyone was in danger.
