Ming Lanruo sat in front of Cang Qiao, her expression a bit solemn.
"It was expected that something would happen in the north. Once it happened, the people of Northern Mongolia were unable to graze their cattle in the winter and had the habit of raiding in the winter."
"Secondly, our Majesty has decided that the soldiers and horses around the capital are not trustworthy, so he wants King Qin to take command and lead the troops legitimately."
All this was within her and Cang Qiao's expectations.
but......
"This year's hot weather did not change into autumn clothes until the beginning of December. To put it bluntly, although it is the middle of winter at the end of December, this weather is just the chill of autumn in previous years."
Ming Lanruo said coldly: "Even if the cold weather started earlier for the Northern Mongolians, they shouldn't have started looting at this time and conquered two cities in such a short period of time."
Cang Qiao said calmly: "It's very simple. The defenders in the north are all members of the Zhou family. They can collude with the Northern Mongolians to act and let Zhou Tongchen "do meritorious service" and get rid of the exiled sinner."
"Of course they can also put on a big show of the Northern Mongolian army 'going south to plunder in advance'."
Ming Lanruo looked at him steadily: "This time Shangguan Hongye takes command and goes out for military power. Are you really not going to stop him?"
Cang Qiao raised her eyes and looked at her steadily: "Are you willing not to go to the aid of the three southwestern provinces?"
Ming Lanruo paused: "..."
Cang Qiao whispered: "Why did the three provinces in the southwest have trouble at the same time, and it happened to be a plague, and someone happened to ask you to find a concubine to bring a large number of medicinal materials and doctors to the three provinces?"
"Although I don't know why, I can feel that Emperor Ming and Shangguan Hongye want to separate me from you."
Cang Qiao took an apple and peeled it, and said calmly: "No matter what they want to do, as long as they take action in the three southwest provinces, you have to go, right?"
Ming Lanruo raised her clear and bright eyes and said softly: "Yes."
"Then go, that's the battlefield you have to face." Cang Qiao calmly handed her the apple in his hand.
Ming Lanruo paused and took the apple: "Yes, this is my battlefield."
That's why, even though she knew it might be a trap, she still wanted to challenge it and walk into the trap herself.
The place where grandma once escaped, she must fight back today.
She must ensure that the three southwestern provinces and the northeastern Xinjiang are firmly under her control.
Otherwise, how could she have just wanted to avoid Chu Yuanbai's search and create a fragrant palace master at the beginning, and then tried her best to subdue Chu Yuanbai.
However, Cang Qiao held her wrist with his backhand and said casually: "Protect yourself, and don't force me to take you back from the Southwest Sanxing Province. Then you will have to stay by my side for the rest of your life."
Ming Lanruo raised her eyes to look at him, his fingertips pinched her wrist so much that it hurt.
Although the man looked calm and indifferent, he didn't know how much effort it took to restrain the urge to keep her close to him.
After all, he slowly learned to love her in the way she liked.
Ming Lanruo felt soft and sour, she held his hand with her backhand: "The capital is your battlefield, and so are you. Don't let me worry, Aqiao."
He likes to use dangerous tactics and cunning tactics.
Although this makes it difficult for the opponent to defend against it, it is also very dangerous.
"Yeah." He raised his head and looked at her quietly, and the anger in his body softened and dissipated.
Every time she called him that, it always made him feel calm.
"What do you like to eat? Stay in Dongchang tonight and I'll have someone cook it for you?" Cang Qiao whispered in a gravelly voice.
Ming Lanruo smiled and took a bite of the apple, the sweet and sour taste soaking into her lips.
"I like to eat you." She tilted her face slightly, leaned forward with a gentle smile, and kissed the corner of his lips.
The man in front of him turned pale and slightly red.
He narrowed his eyes in warning and whispered: "Don't play with fire and burn yourself."
"Now, now, let me just say that the governor is still a cute and well-behaved little scholar even without teasing." Ming Lanruo smiled.
The hidden scholar was teased so much that her hair was all aroused, her whole body was stiff and stiff, and she was still trying not to touch her.
