Chapter 1,180: Two Hands Prepared

""With that silver, over sixty taels, wouldn't we have our investment back in two months!"The village head was also beaming, waving his pipe bowl and tapping the table to quiet everyone down. "Quiet d...Zi didn't want her to say anything too rash, so he said, "Rest assured, Father has always been wise, this matter will certainly not be as you worry." 。You may rest assured and live your life peacefully. If there is any news, I will definitely have someone tell you. 。The third princess also knew that her fussing was pointless. 。

Since the Crown Prince vouched for her, she stopped talking.

Of course, I can't help but also think of ways to protect my good sister. 。As for the Emperor here, one can only hope that he will find conscience. 。But did the emperor have a conscienceShe didn't want to think, she dared not think. 。After teasing the little fox for a while, Princess Three left the palace. 。Grandfather Feng was afraid of delaying the prince's official duties, and he wanted to take the little fox away, but the prince stopped him. 。The little fox lay on the table, accompanying the prince, occasionally scanning those opened scrolls with its small eyes, or listening to the prince's words...At the dock military camp, Li Dayong had just taken off his armor, his whole body already soaked in sweat 。The personal guards quickly brought clean clothes and whispered, "General, it's so hot outside, you're likely to get heatstroke." 。You just hand off the patrol duty to someone else, or take a walk around at night. 。"Li Dayong drank half a pot of cold water in one gulp, and then quickly changed his clothes. He replied, “No way, Your Lordship entrusted the camp to me, I naturally have to guard it well." 。Although the barbarians were driven out of Beidi by the Marquis, there might still be some stragglers. What if they came to Jiangnan and caused trouble That would be bad. 。"I'm not afraid of punishment, it's just that the Marquis led his brothers to fight to the death..." 。"One mustn't let people tarnish their achievements!"

The personal guards understood this, but they were just worried about their commander.

Li Dayong was a latecomer to the camp, and he was once a pampered young master. For this reason, he was often ridiculed and scorned by others in the camp. 。But he, through sheer willpower, honed his skills to become a formidable warrior. He earned the respect of the entire camp and became the lord's trusted lieutenant. 。Now, the Marquis is leading an expedition. The dockyard camp under his management is well-organized and strictly disciplined. 。Of course, all the hard work behind it was also seen by everyone. 。Li Dayong was originally going to go see the logistics camp, but suddenly remembered something and ordered. 。"Send the order down, the situation in Xin Du is complex lately. All soldiers and generals are not to leave camp." 。The personal guards didn't respond, but one deputy general came over. 。 ”General, this subordinate just returned from visiting my family in the city and heard something. “ 。It's as if the imperial court is preparing a rain prayer ceremony, but there are rumors among the people that Heaven will only send rain if Princess Kangle offers a sacrifice...” Li Dayong was immediately agitated!"Tell me in detail, what exactly is going on Just pray for rain, pray to Heaven and Earth, everyone just bows their heads! What does it have to do with the princess"The officer also knew the seriousness of the matter. He didn't mention that the Marquis, who was far away in Jiangbei, treated the princess like his own daughter. Even the general in front of him was practically a son of the Li family!He quickly explained everything in detail, including how rumors were spreading and exaggerating the situation. 。Finally, he hesitated and added, “General, I hear that this rumor has only been circulating for two days and yet everyone knows it.” 。Li Dayong understood, knowing he was alluding to someone being behind the scenes. 。He immediately ordered, “You guard the camp well. I’ll go back to Broken Gold Beach.” 。At this time, suddenly a guard rushed over to deliver the news. 。“General, Master Li has arrived at the camp gate.” 。“

Li Dayong was surprised and immediately went to greet Li Lao'er inside. 。

Meanwhile, the others hurried to bow. Li Lao Er chuckled and said, "You've worked hard guarding here! I wanted to bring you some delicious food this time, but unfortunately, the weather is too hot." 。Fortunately, we picked the fruits from the mountain a few days ago. They are seven-tenths ripe, slightly sour with sweetness, and can quench our thirst. 。I had two cars loaded up, to share with my brothers to quench their thirst. 。"Thank you, Master!" the squad leader replied with a smile, "The brothers have been looking forward to someone from our family coming. Every time someone comes, there's delicious food." 。After chatting for a few more pleasantries, he tactfully made an excuse to arrange for the fruit to be distributed. 。The bodyguard immediately guarded the door, and then Li Dayong told Li Lao Er. 。"Second brother, what's going on at home Someone bullied the princess and no one told me" Li Lao Er waved his hand, signaling him to calm down. 。Finally, he lowered his voice and explained the whole story clearly. 。Li Dayong's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, "This Dingbei Hou is the worst kind of person. He can't win in battle, but he's very good at stabbing people in the back." 。"And that damned thing, the Marquis and Fourth Brother fought hard outside to establish their own territory for him, yet he plotted against the county princess. It's truly disheartening!" Li Laoer thought back on all these years of interaction, his heart was a mixture of emotions. 。"Well, enough of that. Let's think of a solution instead." 。I rallied the head steward of the Marquis's mansion and people from the Liu family, gathering every available hand to intercept any news. We will absolutely prevent the fourth brother and the Marquis from being distracted. 。As long as they win the last battle, our family will move south. 。"That man values fame, wealth, and power above all else. As long as our family and the marquis don't crave those things, and with the prince mediating, the outcome shouldn't be too terrible." 。" Okay.

Li Dayong nodded and replied, “When the time comes, I will head south with you too. If it weren't for my family and the people of Tianwu, who would want to suffer here” 。The power that others envy, I don't really care for it. 。" Lao Er patted his shoulder, "You're family. Everyone else left, of course you're coming south with us." 。“I wonder how Hui'er and the two children are doing. The children probably don’t even recognize me, their father, anymore.” 。After you leave, just come back and spend a few days playing with the kids. 。"Li Lao Er whispered, "For now, it seems that the one who pushed Fu Niuer out was trying to pressure the Master and Lao Si." 。It's always better to be prepared for the unexpected. 。I told Zheng Feng to bring the boat closer. If anything happens, our family will evacuate immediately. 。"I suppose I'll have to watch over this ship for you, then!" "Don't worry, Second Brother. This isn't a difficult task." 。Li Dayong readily agreed. 。He diligently tended to the camp, his primary concern not so much guarding against intrusions by the barbarians from Jiangbei, but ensuring a safe retreat for his family. 。The two chatted for a while longer, but Li La Er didn't stay long. He quietly returned to Xindu. 。By the time we got home, dusk had just begun to settle, and the dinner table was already set. 。Jia Yin personally cooked four dishes, enough for a family of three to eat. 。The old woman couldn't help but ask about what was happening outside. The two nephews worked together to cheer up the old woman, who ate half a bowl of rice with extra joy. 。After the meal, Shuiling led the maidservants in the courtyard to jump rope again. The winner got a box of snacks. It was lively and cheerful, completely dispelling the dull atmosphere in the house. 。Finally back in the room to rest, it was already late at night. 。Jiayin was talking to Shui Ling and Shui Yun, when a little fox jumped in through the window. 。All three of them, the master and his servants, were surprised. They hurried to help wash away the dust from the little fox's body. 。Finally, the little fox was all clean and smelled so good. When Jia Yin held it in her arms, it whimpered sadly. 。Today's update is here! ~~d new robes of emerald green and ochre yellow, with a touch of desolation.But the new city was still bustling with people, and the streets were incredibly lively.Jiayin thought that Grandma would take...
