What Li Shu said is right. She is also a member of the Li family. As a member of the Li family, the honor and disgrace of the Li family are closely related to her. She can leave the capital, or even leave Zunguo, and go to a place where no one knows her. She has a lot of skills and space at her disposal, so she can live a good life wherever she goes.
But what should the Ning family do? Even if the Ning family and the original owner are avenged, if the Li family falls, the Ning family will inevitably be implicated.
The Ning family is a wealthy family, and people who care about them are like crucian carp crossing the river. Don't look at the Queen Mother, the Holy Emperor seems to be treating the Ning family very favorably and forgivingly, but the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Who knows whether Ning Liancheng will end up like this in the end? Shen Wansan's fate.
So she couldn't leave and occupied the original owner's body in vain, so she had to bear some things for her.
It is her mission to protect the Ning family, those who are truly good to the original owner, and subvert the Li family, so that those who do evil things lose everything.
Thinking of this, Li Man'er had already made up his mind and said to Liu Ya: "I'm a little tired, you should go back first!"
Liu Ya guessed that the confrontation between father and daughter must have exhausted Li Man'er mentally and physically, so she had no choice but to bend her knees and quietly retreat.
Li Maner already has a big idea in his head!
Let Li Shu step down from his position as Marquis, and his sluggish son Li Qingyun should stop being a heir apparent and simply give the title to Li Nian!
The third uncle and the third aunt were quite nice to her, and the kid Qingyan was also very well-behaved. He was a cousin and a junior brother. If he inherited the title, how could he be worse than Li Qingyun?
Such a young child has suffered so much, but he is still optimistic and open-minded. He knows clearly that he is terminally ill and does not have much time left, but he always wants to protect his sister and does not want to make his parents sad. Such a child is loyal and filial. Even if it's not great, it's not too bad either.
What's more, with him here, Li Qingyan will definitely become a talented person in the future, so how can he not be outstanding!
When Li Man'er thought of this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
She had had this idea before, but the time was not ripe and she didn't know what the temperament of Li Nian's family was, so she couldn't draw a conclusion easily.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, she felt that the people in Sanfang were good people and worth making friends with.
Instead of Li Shu being demoted and convicted, and implicating the Ning family, it would be better to let him poke trouble and let Li Nian make up for it.
Every effort offsets the effort, and the result is a wasted game.
But the emperor is not blind, so why can't he see Li Nian's abilities?
With a little bit of manipulation, it's quite doable.
The more Li Maner thought about it, the more proud he became. Maybe this battle was not easy to fight, but it was absolutely necessary to fight.
You can always find opportunities.
Li Maner did not expect that the opportunity would come so quickly and suddenly.
In the middle of the night, Qi Yihan suddenly came and climbed in through the window. He was almost beaten by Li Man'er with a flying knife.
"Why are you here?" Li Man'er has let herself go now. Since she had a small conflict with Qi Yihan, she doesn't even use the honorific title. She calls you "you", which is quite natural.
"I received news that the barbarians will attack the city on the thirtieth day."
Li Man'er shuddered and suddenly woke up.
She is always alert when sleeping. According to the words of a former classmate, she even sleeps with half her eyes open.
She woke up as soon as Qi Yihan came, but for some reason, when she knew it was Qi Yihan, her brain was deprived of oxygen and she wanted to fall asleep regardless.
But Qi Yihan's words made her no longer sleepy. "Is the news reliable?"
Li Man'er put down the bed curtain, Ma Liu put on his clothes, put on his shoes and got out of bed.
"Of course it's reliable." Qi Yihan sat in front of the table, with a hint of chill on his face, "In the past, barbarians would knock on the door on New Year's Eve. It didn't cause much harm, but it only caused trouble for the country."
On such an important day, I want you not to be safe, and even have to pay the price of bloodshed and sacrifice. His heart is not unkind.
Barbarians don't pay attention to that, so they do these things without any psychological burden. The people of Zunguo are different. The New Year has special meaning to them. Everyone hopes that the new year will be a good harvest.
, is a peaceful year.
There are many rules and taboos on New Year's Eve. Once the barbarians come, they won't care about anything. No one can feel happy.
"It seems like this time is different from previous years?" Li Man'er didn't care about getting angry and sat across from Qi Yihan.
"Yes! In the past, they were small groups of light cavalry, engaging in sneak attacks. Their methods of attacking the city were nothing more than releasing fire jars, or harassing them. They would not cause too many casualties. At most, they would not be able to stop for a few days.
." Qi Yihan said: "This time is different. It is said that they integrated people from more than a dozen tribes to prepare for the old city and come to the new city."
A map of the Mobei area automatically appeared in Li Man'er's mind.
The geothermal ground in Mobei is relatively flat, and the walls of the old city have long been in dilapidated condition. A large-scale attack may not last long. Although they are repaired every year, barbarians invade hundreds of times every year, so the walls are already in disrepair.
hole.
The repaired city walls are in poor condition. If you want to resist the barbarian cavalry and chariots, you will probably have to defend them with men.
"Where are the drawings I gave to the prince before? Have you stepped up the production?"
"Time is short and I only have time to build some. I have already ordered all the weapons to be sent to the old city."
Li Man'er frowned slightly, "Can the prince get over the Xiao family? I'm afraid it's not easy. How did you do it?"
Qi Yihan only said, "You know why I am away from Beijing all year round and rarely go back."
Li Man'er's heart was beating very fast, and she always felt like she was about to know some great secret.
"I don't know. I just know that the prince is busy with official duties and seems to be leading troops away all year round."
Qi Yihan only said: "Now the military strength of Zunguo has been strengthened, but it is still not comparable to that in its heyday. It is rumored that the Xiao family commanded an army of 200,000 in Mobei. Your father has transferred some people from the Jingji camp this time. How can the imperial court
There is only one general who leads the army, but the total number of soldiers in his hands is only meager, so what troops can I lead?"
No soldiers?
Li Man'er narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly. She didn't have a military leader, but it didn't mean she didn't have military power...
Hiss~
Not sure what he thought of, Li Man'er took a breath and sneered, "Master, please don't say it as a joke, it's not funny at all."
"The Holy One is the most suspicious. Even if he is his own son, he will not completely trust me. I am just one of his brothers. How can he really trust me to have heavy troops in my hands?"
"So all these years, the prince's claims about leading troops abroad are all lies."
Qi Yihan smiled and said, "It's not entirely false. I really led the troops, but the soldiers I led were from the Xiao family."
Sure enough.
"Then what identity did you use? Aren't you afraid of being recognized?" Although Li Man'er had some vague guesses, she was still shocked when she heard him admit it personally.
