Taoist Lianqing looked at Qin Rushuang with some worry, but Qin Rushuang immediately calmed down after his initial loss of composure.
She thought about thousands of possibilities of going to the border, but she never thought that it would come so suddenly, and the reason was that Xie Xun was assassinated.
"I won't say anything more about being a teacher. You know the situation in the court. There are no generals in the army. Apart from Xie Xun, there is hardly anyone who can take up a big position. You are the only one who is the most suitable."
Qin Rushuang had already prepared for such a day, so she said: "My disciple knows, I will pack my bags and return to Beijing immediately."
Taoist Lianqing walked to the desk in three steps and spread out his pen and ink. While writing, he said to Qin Rushuang, "Take my handwritten letter and give it to Taoist Yiqing. With his recommendation, after you return to Beijing
It might be easier to ask for orders to go to the border."
At this urgent moment, Taoist Lianqing did not want to be angry with his senior brother. He explained the situation in a few words and put the dried letter into an envelope.
"Go this time and take Mu Duo with you." Taoist Lian Qing waved his hand and said to Qin Rushuang, "Don't refuse in a hurry. There are not many trustworthy people around you. Although Mu Duo is not as smart as you, he has excellent martial arts.
Moreover, I have also learned some of my true medical skills, so I keep them with me in case of any unexpected events."
Qin Rushuang didn't refuse, she was trustworthy.
After Mu Duo was called to the study, he had no intention of rejecting Taoist Lianqing's instructions.
"Master, I know this, and I will take good care of my little senior sister."
After arranging things properly, Taoist Lianqing said again: "By the way, do you plan to stay in the southwest or take the child to the capital with you? If you stay in the southwest, I will definitely be able to keep him safe as a teacher."
The situation in Kyoto was turbulent. Qin Rushuang knew that leaving the child in the southwest was the safest choice, but the child was still so young, and she really couldn't bear it.
After much hesitation, Qin Rushuang decided to take the child back to Kyoto together.
"You have to think carefully. You have come back from the dead with a child by your side. Everyone can guess the origin of this child. Once the royal family knows about the existence of this child, I am afraid that the future of this child will not be up to you.
"
"My disciple knows Master's worries, but Master also has to believe in me. If it were before, I was just a woman, so naturally I couldn't make the decision. But if I can come back from the border with a great victory, I will have a bargaining chip."
Qin Rushuang's eyes were firm. Yes, from beginning to end, she had no intention of staying in the southwest border!
For her, Kyoto is her home. She has a mother who cares about her and a brother who loves her. Kyoto... is her root.
It's hard to tell the difference between her and Xie Xun's affair. Why should she stay away from her hometown incognito while Xie Xun can openly stay in Kyoto?!
If there can only be one upright person left in Kyoto between her and Xie Xun, it must be her and her child!
At least, even if Xie Xun is here, he can't use his power to blackmail their mother and son!
The indifference she showed in the southwest was just an act of helplessness. For many nights, she was planning in every possible way how to return to Beijing in a fair and just way, and how to protect her children after returning to Beijing.
In the past, in front of Xie Xun or in front of the Da Qi royal family, even if she was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, she was always on the weak side.
This is an excellent opportunity!
If she can lead the border to victory this time, she will have a bargaining chip with the royal family!
She wants to go back to Kyoto, she wants to be free, and she wants her children to grow up safely by her side!
No matter whether she is unwilling to suffer or whether she is a strong mother, she must go back to Kyoto!
She wants to live in the name of Qin Rushuang, and live uprightly!
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to exchange for freedom!
Taoist Lianqing looked at Qin Rushuang with firm eyes and laughed dumbly.
He is really old.
He should have thought that his apprentice was not a creature in the pool. Previously, he was just trapped by his emotions and was imprisoned in the inner house, unable to display his talents.
Later, he faked his death and escaped from the dead. With Qin Rushuang's character, how could he be willing to remain anonymous in this southwest border?!
What awaits her should be a strong and upright return, and an immeasurable future!
How could Qin Rushuang miss this opportunity!
Taoist Lianqing murmured, "This apprentice is really worth it..."
Is Qin Rushuang more than on par with Xie Xun? In the near future, he dares to bet that Qin Rushuang will even beat Xie Xun!
"You can rest assured to do the Jingdong matter. General Qin has now retired and returned to his hometown and will not participate in political affairs. The General's Office is a neutral party. And nominally you are Xie Xun's wife. The matter of Xie Xun's assassination is up to you.
Come to find out and take over the military power...you have a position."
Qin Rushuang smiled and shook her head, "Master said it quite simply. How could a woman lead troops on the battlefield since ancient times? There is no such rule and no such precedent!"
Taoist Lian Qing sneered: "Rules? Precedent? Unless the emperor wants to destroy the Qi Kingdom, be a prisoner of the Yan Dynasty, and be the king of the country's subjugation! Otherwise, he can only agree!"
"You just go ahead and investigate, whether it's about food and grass or Xie Xun's assassination, investigate him thoroughly! But there is only one thing, you also need to ensure your own safety. Emperor Qi is very fond of the fourth prince Xie Yang now, you
Time is limited, so some things can be put aside for the time being, and it won’t be too late to settle accounts later in the fall when the border situation is stabilized.”
Qin Rushuang nodded: "I understand what Master means. Just knock on the mountain to shake the tiger. The top priority is to save the border situation first. As for the fourth prince and others... I will sound the alarm first. As long as they don't hold back in Kyoto, for other matters, the border situation
Let’s talk about victory.”
"You are very confident!"
Qin Rushuang smiled faintly, "If I didn't have this confidence, how could I go to the border to die?"
At this time, Qin Rushuang's eyes were determined and his tone was confident. He really had the aura of a general.
Taoist Lian Qing patted Qin Rushuang on the shoulder with emotion, "We are old, and the world in the future belongs to you young people, so just go ahead and do it."
…
After returning to her residence, Qin Rushuang told Qingzhi her plan. Qingzhi didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said: "Wherever the lady goes, I will follow you, and I will go pack my things."
In the evening, other people in the village also learned that Qin Rushuang was leaving.
The rules in the village are that if a member is about to leave for a long distance, a grand farewell banquet will be held for him or her the night before leaving.
The same is true for Qin Rushuang, because everyone regards her as a person in the village.
After leaving, I didn't know if there would be a chance to come back, so at the farewell dinner that day, no matter who came to toast, Qin Rushuang did it happily.
Even though Qin Rushuang had a good drinking capacity, by the time the dinner was almost over, she felt a little too drunk.
The villagers sat at separate tables, with a large area open in the middle. A bonfire was lit there. When the atmosphere was warm, the girls held hands and danced a farewell dance around the bonfire.
Qin Rushuang was really a little drunk. She looked at the burning bonfire and remained silent.
Qingzhi was standing aside, looking at the silent Qin Rushuang...
Miss, the fire in her eyes seems to be hotter than a bonfire...
Until this moment, Qingzhi was finally sure that the former Qin Rushuang... was back!
