A Fu, a military doctor, has gradually reached the point where she is now. In the past, she could even be regarded as a future general of the Detachment of Women. Naturally, she relies on not only her medical skills, but also her very powerful scheming skills.
She calculated Xie Chengshang's temperament based on what He Lin said and the sand table, and finally planted flags on the two mountains: "At this time, our bandit suppression is making a fuss, and Xie Chengshang should also know
, he is a person who does things without thinking about the future, and cannot bear hardships, so he will probably hide in these places!"
Meng Duiwan stood beside the sand table and narrowed his eyes slightly: "These two hills are the closest to the street. If you live here, even if you can't leave for a while due to some reasons, you can still live here.
You won’t have to suffer much if you buy it nearby!”
"Every place where you can leave the city is strictly controlled, and his portrait is posted everywhere. At this time, he must not dare to go out!" Forsythia on the side also said, "So at this time, he is probably still hiding.
On the top of the mountain!”
"Since you are still hiding on the top of the mountain, why did you throw away Helin?" Meng Duiwan was a little puzzled, "If it is said to be useless, it doesn't matter. With Helin here, Mobei can still be in chaos. If
If He Lin is sent back, there will definitely be no chaos!"
"I'm afraid he has no choice but to do so." Su Xubai, who had been standing aside without speaking, suddenly said.
"There is no last resort. Is there anything that can force him to throw away the only bargaining chip in his hand?" Meng Duiwan frowned slightly.
"If someone told him to either let He Lin go or kill them all, or that the people who were chasing him were already here and he would die with him if he didn't leave He Lin behind, Xie Chengshang was not
A person with the talent of a general has a bit of cowardice in his bones. Once he encounters a major matter of life and death, he will definitely shrink back." Su Xubai said lightly.
"Cowardly?" Even Afu, who was standing aside, was a little surprised. "A person who dares to rebel openly, do you think he is cowardly?"
"Although others seem to be bold and dare to challenge Chaotian, in fact he is a very timid and fearful person. But now the knife has been handed to his neck. If he doesn't fight back, he will definitely die. Even if
No matter how timid a person is, he will pick up a knife and fight back." Su Xubai said coldly.
"Master Su is right. Xie Chengshang is indeed an incompetent prince. In his early years, he liked to eat, drink and have fun. He didn't care about government affairs. He relied on his mother and concubine to be favored and misbehaved outside. There were many papers against him.
Incredible!" Meng Lingjing said lightly, "It would be okay if he is just a coward. In the future, he can become a prince and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. But he just has no talent as a general and no ambition.
People who live in the city, but are greedy for power."
Su Xubai nodded: "Yes, the seventh prince is the most incompetent among many princes. It's just that half of his life went smoothly, all because his mother-in-law was favored. The mother-in-law's mother-in-law was also very powerful. In fact, if he hadn't been forced to do so at the beginning,
It’s too tight, and there are evil people around him who are forcing him. Thinking about it, he won’t take this road of rebelling against the imperial court.”
"She is timid and cowardly, and has no ambitions. Then how did she lure Princess Helin to her side, and then use this as a blackmail, threatening Mobei to help him rebel?" Forsythia was a little puzzled.
Su Xubai frowned slightly: "We have investigated before. His uncle was exiled earlier. The news we got was that he had died on the way to exile. But it is said that he did not die. Instead, he returned to the seventh prince to replace him.
He makes plans."
"That's right. He has already beaten Xiaoqian. Once someone threatens him, it is not strange to leave Princess Helin behind in a panic." Afu nodded, "That's it.
It seems that Princess Helin is really sincere."
"You can't blame Heaven and Earth for being stupid." Meng Lingjing didn't even raise her eyes. "He was already a princess, enjoying the glory and wealth, but he just gave birth to a pig's brain. This cannot be blamed on Heaven and Earth."
Several people looked at each other and said nothing in the end. After all, although what Meng Lingjing said was unpleasant, it was indeed the truth.
Because it rained twice in a row, Meng Lingjing had some coughs and was inevitably worried, so Afu did not go with her during the search this time. Before setting off, he was really worried and kept mumbling something in Meng Duiwan's ears.
It doesn’t matter how you should do things and where you should be more careful. It doesn’t matter whether someone catches you or not. You just need to be safe.
When Meng Duiwan listened, he didn't feel nagging at all. Instead, he felt very relieved.
After finally setting off, Su Xubai followed Meng Duiwan on horseback. When he saw no one else around, he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think Afu is nagging?"
"Sister Afu is a military doctor. He has always been like this. What he cares about most is whether you are in good health? Are you injured? What he hates most is people who show off their strength, and my aunt is the one who bears the brunt of it.
." Meng Duiwan thought of how Meng Lingjing was often scolded by Afu for not taking medicine properly, and she couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Afu is a very nice person, and she sincerely cares for people's health."
"That's true. Doctors always nag." Su Xubai smiled, "I originally thought you would inevitably suffer some hardships when you came here, but I didn't expect the people here.
It seems like they all like you very much and take good care of you."
"Actually, not everyone likes me at first." Meng Duiwan said helplessly, "Besides me, our family does not have a second daughter, so before I came back, Sister Afu was originally regarded as a future general.
Being cultivated.”
"Um?"
"My parents said that Sister Afu does not have a very large family to rely on. If a woman is struggling in the court, if she does not have a large family to rely on, it will be extremely difficult to walk in the court, so Sister Afu
She can only be a second-in-command, but not a real general, because she can control those below, but cannot handle those above!" Meng Duiwan said softly.
"So, she made things difficult for you?" Su Xubai frowned without leaving any trace.
"Sister Afu is a smart person. She has a clear mind in her heart. How could she embarrass me over something like this?" Meng Duiwan smiled, "It's just something that we can all see clearly, but the people below are not.
I may not understand. At first, many people thought my aunt was partial. Some even said in front of me that my aunt usually values fairness and doesn’t care about family status or family background. But when it came to interests, she still favored her in the end.
Of my own children, many of them don’t dare to get angry at my aunt, so they will inevitably make trouble for me behind my back!"
Su Xubai just listened like this, feeling an unknown fire rising in his heart, and his voice became a little louder: "What do those people know? You should slap them and let them know."
There is no such thing as fairness in this world."
Meng Duiwan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What you said is exactly the same as that of my aunt!"
"There is no absolute fairness in this world. A person's birth, status, and even some of his brains are the way he is born and cannot be changed. Some people strive for it all their lives. Indeed, some people are born with things." Su
Xu Bai frowned, "Your temper is too gentle. You don't need to be polite to this kind of person."
"I don't think so. In fact, what you said is right. There is no absolute fairness in this world. Take sister Afu for example. She is excellent in everything and excels in everything, but she just doesn't have a strong mother's family to support her.
She relies on the fact that she can control the people below her, but she has no way to deal with the pressure in the court, so if the Detachment of Women is really handed over to her, she may not be able to protect the Detachment of Women in the end, even if she has tried her best.
"Meng Duiwan said with some regret.
"Many things in the world are like this!" Su Xubai sighed.
Meng Duiwan looked ahead: "All I can do is try my best to make them feel that I am not that bad, to make them feel that I can lead them and protect them. Fortunately, I have an advantage in Dudu.
, I am very capable of enduring hardships, and my art of war, which I practiced day and night, did not disappoint them in the end, but I always feel a little guilty towards Sister Afu."
"But the wrong person is not you!" Su Xubai closed his eyes, "The so-called aristocratic family is the accumulation and precipitation of several generations. Let's put it another way, like scholars. They always say that ten years of hard work is hard.
Reading, yes, studying can indeed make you different. You can take the imperial examination and reach the sky in one step. But similarly, children from poor families can only light oil lamps at home and study hard day by day, while children from wealthy families can
Can you say that the world is unfair for being able to study under the guidance of famous teachers? And all this is just because my father worked hard to become a famous family and the world in his early years, while your father is just from a poor family!"
Meng Duiwan took a deep look at Su Xubai. After a long time, she suddenly said: "It must be very hard for Mr. Su to protect the entire Su family without a capable brother!"
Su Xubai was stunned: "Ah?"
"I heard everything my aunt told you." Meng Duiwan smiled, "Actually, I heard people talking about it very early on. When Hongdou was here, I also fought for you. But Mr. Su, if it's just
It is very difficult for you to protect the glory and wealth of the whole family by yourself. The imperial court changes, so many aristocratic families fall, and so many new nobles rise. In many cases, we can only do our best and depend on destiny, and we cannot force it!"
