In the evening, Lu Qi came back to explain the whole story, but it was not as exaggerated as Awu said.

"In addition to all the wounded soldiers, there are less than 20,000 rebels in Xixia," Lu Qi said lightly, "Zhan Beiting chased him tightly again and didn't have much combat power. It's also good to give Xiao Luobu a chance to train."

Su Qinghuan asked worriedly: "Can it be a conspiracy?"

For example, Zhan Beiting designed all this himself and wanted to make a comeback and attack the Central Plains?

Lu Qi said: "No. I have reliable people in Xixia, and Zhan Beiting's confidant has suffered a lot. This time he is really in a state of anxiety."

"Why is this happening to Xixia?" Su Qinghuan asked.

Since the plague has greatly damaged the vitality, she has not paid attention to the trends of Xixia.

At that time, it was said that it would take at least ten years to recuperate. Now, it only took five years to count.

"Empress Dowager Liu has too strong power, so she has always been in charge of the government, refused to give up her authority, and did not listen to anyone's opinions," Lu Qi said, "Zhan Beiting and his son were allowed to do so again, so the people in Xixia were very resentful."

"What's wrong with her?" Su Qinghuan asked curiously, "I always thought that Empress Dowager Liu should be a very capable woman."

"She is more capable than ordinary women, but she also overestimates her own strength." Lu Qi said disdainfully, "She ignored Zhan Beiting's role and thought that it was her own credit to be able to sit in that position for so many years."

Fullness brings harm, humility brings benefits.

There is another saying, "Politics come out of the barrel of a gun."

Whoever controls the army will have the right to speak; so Zhan Beiting is the real and stable backing.

"What did she do, causing public grievances?"

"I dare to embezzle military expenses by levying heavy taxes and building an palace for her birthday."

Su Qinghuan was stunned. Isn’t this Empress Dowager Cixi?

Lu Qi looked at her appearance and suddenly felt extremely cute. Although it was not consistent with the current dialogue atmosphere, he still couldn't help but say in her ear: "Actually, for you, I can be so stupid."

Su Qinghuan looked at him disgustedly: "If I do that, you'd better beat me to death, don't harm the country and the people."

Lu Qi couldn't help laughing.

"You won't." Lu Qi touched her small earlobe, "Anyway, don't worry, this time it was indeed a civil strife in Xixia, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Don't fool me," Su Qinghuan opened his hand, "What did you hide me? I'll bring you the truth! I don't believe that you are so fond of meddling in other people's business and will care about the civil strife in Xixia."

There were also Little Radish, Su Qinghuan could imagine his reaction, and he must have said slowly: "Let them get messed up again."

"It's nothing, it's just five thousand war horses a year, twenty years."

Su Qinghuan patted Lu Qi's chest and said with a smile: "You really dare to speak loudly."

"He still agreed." Lu Qi said, "Let the little radish solve it, don't worry."

Su Qinghuan nodded.

Xiaoke and Awu have both been on the battlefield, and Xiao Luobu has to go and experience it.

Su Qinghuan asked about the situation on Prince Lu Qi again.

"We have to find a suitable opportunity," Lu Qi frowned, "but fortunately, Yan Yunjin suffered such a huge loss last time and has not made any changes yet, so I can't hold on to the ground, which is reasonable."

What he didn't tell Su Qinghuan was that He Changkai's suspicion was getting worse and worse now. Even if the Earth Tiger Army was stationed outside the city, it was under He Changkai's close monitoring.

What Lu Qi and the prince discussed was actually to wait for the twelfth lunar month and prepare for the Chinese New Year to launch a mutiny.

Because under normal circumstances, the Chinese New Year is the time when people are most relaxed, but He Changkai also knows that the alert must be the strictest at that time.

The next day, Ming Jin came to find Su Qinghuan.

She never talked very little and didn't look in front of Su Qinghuan to show her diligence, but today she was abnormal and did not leave after serving her after eating, and her face was confused.

"What's wrong with Jin'er?" Su Qinghuan spoke up.

Ming Jin gathered up his courage and said with a blushing face: "Madam, I heard from my father that the people of Xixia seem to attack the border town. The eldest son..."

It turned out that I was worried about the carrot.

Su Qing smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, there will be no problem."

She patiently told Ming Jin about the words Lu Qi explained to her one by one.

Ming Jin felt relieved and said embarrassedly: "I shouldn't have asked about this matter, but I really didn't dare to ask in front of my father, so I could only be rude in front of you."

Su Qing laughed and said, "What a rude thing this is? If you want to know in the future, just come and ask me. Our mansion is not that kind of harsh and harsh atmosphere. Just look at Awu and Yanran. By the way, Yanran..."

Before he finished speaking, Awu took Liu Yi's hand and ran in, and said with a smile: "Mom, we are going to have a competition. Please give us a test."

Liu Yi bowed to Su Qinghuan with a candle and said dissatisfiedly: "Auntie, you are a judge. Since Xiaohu went to the battlefield once, his tail has now risen to the sky. Why not take me? I must take me next time! Come on, I will defeat her first!"

When Ming Jin heard her intimately calling Xiao Laohu's name, she couldn't help but feel a little savory, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

Su Qing laughed and scolded: "Yi'er, if you do this, I dare not take you to the border town anymore. I'm afraid that you and Awu will demolish the General's Mansion for me."

"No, no, I'm going to go." Liu Yi pulled Su Qinghuan's arm and acted coquettishly, "I'm obedient."

She and Awu were there, and laughter kept coming in the room.

"I'll go out to find Sister Jiang." Ming Jin said to Su Qinghuan.

Before Su Qinghuan could speak, Jiang Yanran had already come in.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Su Qinghuan stared at the letter in her hand and asked, "Whose letter?"

"Yan Yunjin's." Jiang Yanran said lightly, "I was so angry that I had hurt his war horse."

When Awu heard this, she stopped playing with Liu Yi and spat and scolded: "Shameless! It's obvious that he is too stupid."

"What else did you say?" Su Qinghuan asked.

Jiang Yanran tore the letter to pieces and said, "There is no other content."

Su Qinghuan didn't believe it, but he didn't know how to say anything. He just said, "You should be careful when you go out, I'm afraid that Da Meng's secret master will come to you for revenge."

Jiang Yanran nodded.

She didn't want to tell Su Qinghuan this, but she had to be more vigilant, so she thought for a long time before she decided to say something.

Fearing that Su Qinghuan was worried, she changed the subject.

"Fang Xin sent you a tray of buns in the morning, saying it was made of vegetarian stuffing and Jiangnan flavor. Because it was delivered late, you had already used the meal, so I didn't have someone come here."

Only then did Su Qinghuan remember the character Fang Xin.

In short, she had been to Beijing for a while and lived in the prince's mansion, stayed in a quiet place, and there was no movement.
