It was Meng Duiwan's first time leading troops on the battlefield. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous, but he always had to pretend to be confident. After all, he couldn't let the soldiers underneath see any clues.
Although Meng Duiwan has no experience in leading troops, she has always been with Meng Lingjing. She has seen a lot and has learned a lot. Although her momentum is still a little weaker, fortunately she is originally from the Meng family.
, the people of the Detachment of Women always wanted to give her some face, so this battle was very successful.
When Meng Duiwan went back, Meng Lingjing was writing at the desk. When she saw Meng Duiwan, she laughed: "I heard that you fought well in this battle. You are indeed our girl!"
"Auntie, is this a case of Wang Po selling her melons and bragging about herself?" Meng Duiwan said with a smile and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I finally got such a good melon, what's wrong with praising me?" Meng Lingjing said with a smile. When she put down her pen, she suddenly frowned, followed by a series of coughs.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you?" Meng Duiwan was a little surprised. Meng Lingjing's health was very good and she rarely felt unwell, but today it was obvious that her cough was strange.
"It's nothing. I've been feeling a little uncomfortable for the past two days. I might have choked on my own saliva, so I coughed a little bit more." Meng Lingjing wiped away the tears she shed due to coughing, and smiled to herself, "I'm also getting older.
Got it!"
"It's better to let Sister Afu take a look." Meng Tingwan was a little worried, "There are bandits everywhere in Lingnan right now, and my aunt's health is particularly important!"
"Aren't you still here?" Meng Lingjing walked aside and sat down, "You are a very talented girl, but you got lost when you were young. Learning from scratch is more difficult than others, but even so, you learn
You're still very fast at things, whether it's kung fu or military skills, but just because I think you learn quickly, even the people under your command come to me from time to time to praise you."
Meng Duiwan felt a little embarrassed: "They probably just think my surname is Meng, that's why they think I'm good!"
"They are not people who can flatter you. They are all people who come here based on their true abilities. If they are good, they are good, and if they are not, they are bad!" Meng Lingjing smiled, "You are talented. You didn't have any in earlier years.
You, I gave birth to all sons, and none of your uncles gave birth to a girl. I am the only one who supports this Detachment of Women, leading troops to fight and selecting future generals from a group of people! In fact, I always
Somewhat guilty!"
"My aunt originally wanted to let Sister Afu take over the Women's Army!" Meng Duiwan looked at Meng Lingjing in front of her and said softly, "Sister Afu is a real person. It would be good if she could be the future successor of the Women's Army!
"
"Afu is good, but as a future general of the Detachment of Women, he is still a little inferior. To be a general, you don't just have to know how to fight. The Detachment of Women is a female army, which is inherently subversive in this world.
Existence is not so controllable!" Meng Lingjing sighed, "Every member of the Meng family has been in the army for several lifetimes, so we have enough appeal just by relying on this surname. However, Afu cannot, or in other words, other people
Will not work!"
Meng Duiwan looked at Meng Lingjing in front of him and said nothing.
Meng Lingjing held Meng Duiwan's hand: "This road is very difficult to walk. Both your grandmother and I have spent a lifetime of hard work walking down it. I always thought you would not take this road, but
I never thought you would choose to come here!"
"I don't want to be trapped in the backyard like those women who have no way out all their lives!" Meng Duiwan smiled bitterly, "I want to see a different life!"
"This road is difficult to walk, but if you are willing to walk, I will take you forward!" Meng Lingjing smiled, "Your eldest brother should be going to Mobei with your father in the next few months, and your eldest brother will also go to Mobei.
At this age, he has to go to that battlefield!"
"My eldest brother is obviously very good at studying. He can obviously pass the imperial examination..."
"He is the future Marquis of Yongchang!" Meng Lingjing interrupted Meng Duiwan, "He is the crown prince, your father's only son. He has to shoulder the glory of the entire Yongchang Marquis Mansion, so he has only one way to go! He wants to seize the title.
, We are the Wuhou family, if a Wuhou cannot fight, it is a joke, and our Meng family army must also have a general who can take them home!"
Meng Duiwan was a little confused: "Does it have to be like this?"
"Yes, someone has to take them home. Just like me, I don't feel comfortable handing over the people under me to others because I don't know if others are really capable and can really take them away from me.
Bring him back safely from the battlefield!" Meng Lingjing looked at Meng Duiwan in front of her, "Slowly, you will understand why I said that!"
Meng did not speak to Wan, but just nodded.
Meng Lingjing picked up a cup of tea and drank it. Just as she drank the water, she suddenly coughed violently. Meng Duiwan was caught off guard and stepped forward to help him breathe. Unexpectedly, she coughed more and more violently. The next moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Meng Duiwan's face was full of shock. It wasn't until she touched the blood on her face that she realized what she was doing and shouted loudly: "Someone is coming, someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"
Just when Meng Duiwan wanted to run out and call someone, Meng Lingjing grabbed his hand and stuffed the bloody military talisman into his hand: "Wanwan, you have to defend Lingnan, you must defend Lingnan, no matter the cost!
"
Before Meng Duiwan could react, Meng Lingjing had fainted in her arms: "Someone is coming quickly!"
When Afu rushed over, Meng Lingjing was already unresponsive. Afu quickly helped her to the bed, and then began to diagnose her pulse. Afu put her hand on her wrist and could not help but tremble slightly. The next moment,
"The general is poisoned!" Afu said with red eyes. "A few days ago, the general's pulse became a little strange, but I couldn't tell anything. He just felt a little weak in energy and blood from time to time. I originally wanted to give him a good treatment.
The general wanted to take a look, but there were thieves everywhere. The general never had time to sit down and let me take a good look, so he delayed it! Judging from the pulse, it should be a poison from southern Xinjiang. It is colorless and odorless but has a little bit of it.
A little bit of erosion of the bloodline, the general is obviously already deeply poisoned!"
