In the past, when she was in Suoling Pavilion, even if Mu Qian was not happy, Lord Qingtan forced her to read a lot of military books and learn a lot of formations.
The Lord Qingtan taught almost everything he knew, without missing a single thing.
Although Mu Qian is not a good strategist, he can think of many things in front of others.
Mu Qian was very unhappy when her master taught her how to form troops. Until she was reborn in her second life, her skills became particularly valuable in troubled times.
In her second life in Beizhou, she was reborn as an orphan who died in the war. She died from a stray bullet at the age of fifteen.
She had no name and called herself Xiao Wu. In order to survive, Mu Qian used her name to go to Helian Shang, who had been defeated countless times.
Now when she thinks about that time, she still sighs. Later, Helian Shang also accepted her proposal and took her with him.
They spent the most turbulent years in Beizhou together, and Helian Shang's current strategies were all taught by her.
Now it seems that this apprentice is pretty good.
Mu Qian died at the celebration banquet. At that time, the security forces had just captured the last troubled area in Beizhou, which meant that reunification was close at hand.
She died at this juncture. In order not to shake the morale of the army, not many people in the security army knew about her death.
When she finally died, Mu Qian was still thinking that she would be able to go back this time.
When he opened his eyes again, the person was already on Mu Qian's body.
She had a long, long dream, whether she was reborn as Ranmu or as an orphan in Beizhou and then as Mu Qian.
She lived a wonderful life in the first two lives, but all she cared about was how to go back, so strictly speaking, Mu Qian wasn't too concerned about the first two lives.
She woke up from the nightmare, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the man's smooth and muscular chest, and then she realized what she was doing.
They talked for a long time last night, and finally she seemed to have fallen asleep and was picked up.
Mu Qian glanced at the pendulum clock on the cabinet opposite, it was seven o'clock in the morning.
So it was almost dawn outside. She struggled to move, but the man's hand was too tight and he wouldn't let go of her waist.
Following her movements, the man tightened his arms in his sleep. Mu Qian was particularly helpless and could only raise her hand and poke his waist.
The man hugged her and rubbed her head, "Wake up..."
The voice that had just woken up was really damn charming and sexy. Mu Qian subconsciously wanted to indulge in it, but she quickly realized it.
"It's time to get up." Mu Qian kept moving, not daring to move.
The living habits of the two of them are quite similar. Chi Si has never been one to sleep in. Although Mu Qian is not very hardworking, he can wake up early in the morning most of the time.
Chi Si closed his eyes and responded, but the hand holding the person did not let go at all.
"If you don't want to get up, you can let go of me. I'll get up first." Mu Qian said in a negotiating tone.
She heard the chuckle coming from above, "What if I don't let go."
Mu Qian looked at this man with contempt, when did he become such a rogue?
In the end, the two of them got up and washed up together. Mu Qian didn't say much about some of the awkward things that happened during this period.
When breakfast was served, Hengli came in from the door.
"Sir, Shu Ling Chu and He Lianshang's people are here to visit."
The Chi family had some cooperation with Helianshang's Wei'an Army. Many of the equipment of the Wei'an Army were purchased from the Chi family. However, Chi Si and Helianshang had never met face to face before.
"Please come in." Mu Qian took the initiative and said.
Chi Si handed her the toast with jam, and Mu Qian saw the people coming in from the courtyard through the glass.
He Lianshang hired someone from the Shuling Department to be the intermediary, and it just so happened that this person was Qiu Yuerong, who knew Mu Qian, and the person following closely behind him was Cheng Ming.
The two entered the house one after another.
Chi Si stood up and sat down on the sofa in front of the two of them. Qiu Yuerong and Cheng Ming nodded slightly in greeting.
"Mr. Chi."
Cheng Ming said respectfully, "Mr. Chi, Mr. Helian would like to invite you to have dinner with my wife at seven o'clock tonight."
After listening to his words, Mu Qian, who was having breakfast here, was also stunned.
The cooperation between the Wei An Army and the Chi family is handled by dedicated people, and they will not meet unless necessary.
"Reason." Chi Si said.
Cheng Ming had been following Helian Shang for so many years and could handle anything with ease. When he heard the man's question, he said calmly.
"There was a misunderstanding in the restaurant yesterday. Our chief would like to treat Mr. Chi to a meal to apologize."
Chi Si looked at him and finally agreed.
"My wife and I will definitely arrive on time."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Qiu Yuerong couldn't help but sigh in her heart. At tonight's dinner, she had to arrange for someone to come over to protect the safety of those people.
"Besides, this is a gift from our wife to your lady, I hope you will accept it." Cheng Ming said and handed over the box in his hand.
Hengli stepped forward, took the gift, and put it down.
After everyone left, Mu Qian came out after having breakfast.
"Please have dinner with me." Mu Qian understood in her heart.
Helian Shang would never do unnecessary things, and it has still been the case after all these years.
If he didn't have doubts in his heart, he wouldn't do such a thing.
"What is this."
Mu Qian said as she opened the box Cheng Ming brought. Inside was a set of traditional Beizhou long skirts that looked very exquisite.
She once stayed in Beizhou. The northern part of Beizhou is crisscrossed with ravines and windy and sandy, so women there wear long robes and veils.
The red fabric is embroidered with bird patterns with gold and silver threads, which looks particularly beautiful.
However, this material looks very expensive at first glance, and is not something ordinary people can afford.
There was a handwritten note on the skirt. Mu Qian could tell that it was written in Lingsu, and it was all words of apology.
Chi Si took the note and looked at it, "The handwriting is very similar to yours."
Mu Qian folded the skirt and put it back, "I taught her handwriting for three years, of course it looks like."
Chi Si took the skirt from her hand and put it in front of her to compare. He smiled with a smile on his lips and said, "Red suits you best, wear it for me."
Red is the most attractive color. If the person wearing it is more attractive, he will be more charming, and if it is less, the person will be dull.
He had never seen her wearing red clothes in his memory. In Wuzhou Continent, women only wear red clothes when they get married.
Whether they are from a good family or are in trouble, they all abide by this rule tacitly.
Mu Qian snatched the clothes back and put them back in the box, and said casually, "This size is not suitable."
Chi Si knew it and didn't force her. He just raised his hand and gently rubbed her head and stood up.
Mu Qian also understood why Lingsu chose this outfit. The pattern on it was once her favorite.
In the past, when she was in Beizhou, whenever she wore a long skirt or a veil, she would choose this or that pattern.
Later, when she came to Helianshang's side, the people who were responsible for her food, clothing, housing and transportation also continued this habit very well. As long as she wore her clothes, there must be this pattern.
Over time it became a habit.
Lingsu would not send her this dress for no reason. There must be other deep meanings in it.
All the answers will be revealed during dinner. The meeting between Chi Si and Helianshang is destined to be more than a simple dinner.
Qiu Yuerong arranged for the Shafeng team to secure the private restaurant from the inside to the outside.
The meeting between the two was not included in He Lianshang's itinerary for this visit. It was considered a temporary proposal by him. After Qiu Yuerong reported it to Qin Hui, security arrangements were started.
The Imperial Capital was not at peace some time ago. Because of the Demon Purification Tower, various forces poured into the Imperial Capital, and now it is a mixed bag.
If someone takes advantage of this juncture to take action, it will be troublesome for them.
The location was chosen to be the private restaurant from yesterday. She hid on the eaves and saw the group of people who entered the restaurant first.
The girl walking in the middle was dressed very formally today. What she wore underneath seemed to be traditional clothing from the northern border, but she was wearing a woolen coat outside, making her look warm.
The clothes of the people around her changed from yesterday's casual attire to more formal attire.
Helian Shang was dressed in black, and the falling snow covered his shoulders with a thin layer of white hair.
Lu Ye and Cheng Ming stood waiting on both sides of the door. Helian Shang stretched out his hand to help Lingsu sit down and placed her at the table.
Before anyone came, Lu Ye turned his head and spoke to Cheng Ming, "Is the clothes that the young lady asked you to send over, the pattern that the young strategist likes the most?"
Cheng Ming listened to his words and said amusedly, "When did you pay attention to the patterns on women's skirts?"
I can't even tell the color clearly, but I can still see the pattern.
"I can't recognize other people's, but how could I not recognize the little military counselor's." Lu Ye snorted.
That's a little strategist, he can't tell the difference.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye couldn't help but lean over, "Does she suspect that Chi Si's wife has something to do with the little military advisor?"
After the death of the little military counselor, her name has become forbidden in the entire Wei'an Army, especially Lingsu, who grew up under her grace, cannot be mentioned.
As long as her name was mentioned, she would burst into tears. She was pregnant, so in order to take care of her emotions, everyone made a tacit agreement not to mention her in front of Lingsu.
More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and I never expected to hear the name of the young military advisor in the imperial capital.
Lingsu stroked his belly with one hand and took a sip of the hot water served by the waiter.
She put down the cup and looked at the people around her, then raised her hand and touched Helian Shang's hand.
"Don't think too much about it first. This matter is just our conjecture. We can't conclude that there is something wrong with her identity just based on a name."
The information Cheng Ming investigated overnight also showed that before Mu Qian passed away, there was indeed a girl named Mu Qian in Qingcheng.
She and Mu Qian existed at the same time, this cannot be false.
"And we have been together for so many years. If it is really her, she will not deny us." Lingsu said.
Lu Ye still agreed with this point. If the little military advisor was really still alive, how could he bear to deny them.
Even if he disowns them, he will not sever ties with the superior.
She used to love the chief so much, how could she be willing to leave him like this and become Chi Si's wife?
None of their other brothers would believe it.
"If you don't believe it, then why did you give her that skirt?" Helian Shang looked at her and said only one sentence.
She just lowered her head and touched her round belly, "It's fate that we met her, and I really think she looks like Qian Qian."
Helian Shang looked at her deeply and said nothing.
At seven o'clock, Mu Qian and Chi Si appeared at the door on time.
As soon as she entered the door, Chi Si took the initiative to take off her coat and hung it aside. Their movements were seamless and natural.
"Mr. Chi, Miss Yun." Lingsu was the first to say hello.
Helian Shang only glanced at Mu Qian, "Yesterday I mistakenly thought this was Mr. Chi's wife. Today I found out that the two of you haven't held a wedding yet. It's really abrupt."
Chi Si took the person and sat beside him, "Mr. Helian, don't worry about it, it's just a matter of morning and evening."
Mu Qian glared at the people around her. When had she mentioned getting married? Rumors about their relationship were already spreading throughout the imperial capital.
Why is it spreading to Beizhou?
"Not happy?" Chi Si raised his hand and pinched her nose.
Mu Qian slapped his hand away and looked at the person opposite.
"Mrs. Helian looks like she is about to give birth. The two of you seem to be in a very good relationship."
After listening to Mu Qian's words, Lingsu raised his head and glanced at the people around him, smiling shyly, "It's almost time."
Helian Shang's face was expressionless as always, as it was before and now. Mu Qian could not see any love on his face.
She was actually quite curious. Before her death, Bu Helianshang had never shown any love between a man and a woman to Lingsu, and now the child was about to be born.
Helianshang was expressionless and showed no emotion no matter who he was dealing with. She knew this. Helianshang knew how to control his emotions.
In a troubled time like Beizhou, with his status, he couldn't show anything he cared about.
Once you have a weakness, you will become a target for attack.
"Miss Yun and I hit it off right away. Do you still like my gift?" Lingsu asked.
Mu Qian smiled and nodded, "That skirt is very beautiful, but the weather in the Imperial City is not suitable now. I will definitely wear it when I have time in the future."
The waiters served the dishes very quickly, and Lingsu had ordered them in advance.
"Because I don't know your taste, I took the lead in making the decision. I hope you will be satisfied with your meal."
Chi Si next to Mu Qian was already holding chopsticks and starting to pick up food for her, as if he was obedient and serving her.
"Miss Yun, you can try this. The cold plum braised pork and Edo short ribs are also pretty good." Lingsu said very considerately.
Helian Shang and Cheng Ming in the room couldn't help but cast their eyes on Mu Qian's dinner plate.
No matter how a person's appearance changes, his preferences will not change. If you want to recognize a person, you cannot rely on his appearance alone.
Half of the dishes on this table were things that the young military advisor didn't like to eat, and there were two dishes that would make you feel nauseous if you tasted them.
But it seems that this Miss Yun is not so repulsive.
Helian Shang's expression changed slightly after seeing Mu Qian swallow a piece of bitter melon.
She had never touched bitter melon before. She would frown and scream just by taking a bite, let alone swallowing it lightly...
