Quick Wear: Under the Skirt, All Beings Are Equal

The girl looked at the scene absentmindedly, hugged the cloak in her arms tighter, then freed one hand to gently touch the old horse that was gradually losing its temperature.

Lin Ping'an told him that he had saved this old horse from the slaughterhouse at the cost of one or two taels of silver.

The original owner thought this horse was not a good steed, and he kept it because he thought the old horse looked handsome and tall, and it looked good. But as it got older, its fur gradually lost its luster, and he felt that the horse ate too much, so he wanted to kill it. Unexpectedly, the horse ran into Lin Ping'an.

Lin Pingan said: "This horse understands human nature. It was those people who didn't know the value of the horse and almost ruined a good horse."

Lin Ping'an was right. He once rode this old horse to kill the enemy in the enemy army and made them terrified. He became the envy of many people in the Xu family army. They thought every day about how to find a mare to have calves with his horse.

Even Chang Qing once joked about arranging a marriage for the next generation of their horses.

It only took Lao Ma nine and a half days to travel from Liangzhou to the capital, which shortened the time by half. After visiting the girl for his master, he went to follow his master and continue fighting on the battlefield.

After the girl asked someone to bury the old horse, she wrote a letter and sent it to the border.

She sold all her jewelry to raise the money for the trip to Liangzhou. She packed her wedding dress, put it on her back, and set out for the border alone.

The girl said she was looking for her husband.

On the day she left, Nangong Yunran rushed out of the palace to see her off after receiving the news.

The girl bowed to Nangong Yunran and said with a smile, "Princess, do you have anything to say to General Xu?"

"Have you really thought it through? The journey to the border is long and full of dangers. How are you going to get there?"

"Take your time, and you will get there." The girl's eyes were filled with a gentle smile. She looked up at the border and said softly, "I was lonely since I was young. My family couldn't afford to support me, so I was sold to a brothel early on to earn money to support my brother. At first, I followed the courtesan. She was gentle and pitied me. She treated me like a sister and taught me to read and write on weekdays."

"The fate of a brothel girl is short, and her luck is shallow. Even a good person like my wife has never met a man who is sincere to her. After my wife's death, I have gained some talent because of my wife's influence, and I have been appreciated by several gentlemen. That's why I am not forced to receive customers like other girls in the building."

"A lowly person like me never dared to ask for anything. Fortunately, God blessed me and I met someone like General Lin. I also received the favor of General Xu and the princess."

"Satisfied, shouldn't be too greedy."

She was smiling, but there were tears in her eyes.

Nangong Yunran was stunned, and sent two people to escort her, and said softly: "If you want to see him, you have to go to the border."

"I have no way of repaying the princess' kindness."

"Don't say such things." Nangong Yunran held her hand, and then reached out to help her brush away the snow on her hair. A trace of worry appeared on her fair face: "You must be more careful. When you arrive in Liangzhou, write me a letter and tell General Xu that the flowers in Jiangnan are about to bloom."

When Chang Qing received Nangong Yunran's letter, he didn't expect that the girl was so stubborn that she would travel thousands of miles from the capital to the remote border.

She handed the letter to Lin Sui, who looked at it in silence for a while, then sighed softly.

"My brother hoped that she would have a good ending. Before he died, he hoped that I would recognize her as my sister. Then, he would use all the money he had saved over the years as a dowry for her. In the future, he would send her off and she would not have to suffer in her husband's family."

Lin Sui felt that he should apologize to the girl when he saw her. He had always been resentful of her because of her identity as a prostitute, and always felt that his brother deserved a better girl.

Even after the general nearly died in the fire, his brother brought the girl to see him after returning to the capital, but he still looked nonchalant and deliberately ignored the girl, and his behavior was somewhat disrespectful.

"My brother beat me up at that time."

As Lin Sui was talking, he suddenly fell silent and lowered his head. He used to complain that Lin Ping'an bullied the weak, but now he didn't even stand a chance of being beaten by him again.

Chang Qing patted his shoulder and said nothing more.

Ever since Lin Ping'an's death, Lin Sui looked the same as before, but he had changed a lot. There was a circle of blue stubble on his chin, and he looked ten years older in an instant.

The Jiang State was out of food and could only rely on the grain stored by the government in several surrounding small counties, as well as purchases from the people in the surrounding villages. But it couldn't hold out for long, and became more and more desperate. In recent days, there have been constant large and small battles.

Chang Qing led his men to patrol the city wall and saw Xiao Taoyao's father. The man grinned at Chang Qing and said loudly, "General Xu."

His voice shook the earth, his eyes shone brightly. Seeing Chang Qing walk to his side and stand still, he was startled by himself and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, my girl misses you very much, and asked me to bring some sweet potatoes, saying that they are for the general. And Luo Luo, she said that she has been learning to mend clothes recently, and wants to sew the winter coat that her mother didn't finish sewing for her father and give it to General Xu, saying that the general will wear it just like his father wore it, and kill the enemy on the battlefield."

Chang Qing nodded and said yes, then chatted with the man for a while about family matters. When he learned that Luo Luo and Xiao Taoyao had already left and were still talking about him when they left, he couldn't help but laugh for a while.

Chang Qing didn't expect that just two days later, she would see Luo Luo and Xiao Taoyao again.

That was the last great battle with the State of Jiang. The 500,000-strong army of Jiang burned their boats and attacked Liangzhou madly, using human lives to accumulate victory.

In the Jiang State camp, Li Heng said coldly: "We can only win this battle and cannot lose. Our army has run out of food and grass. It will take at least half a month for the imperial court to deliver food and grass. It is freezing cold and there is no food and grass. This half month is enough for the Li State to chase us and kill us all. The only plan now is to capture Liangzhou City."

There was one more thing he didn't say. Now that people were being used as food, if we wait any longer, I'm afraid these 500,000 soldiers would starve to death.

The others remained silent, unable to think of any solution, and could only grit their teeth and fight this battle.

They have the advantage of manpower, but Liangzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they attack this time, both sides will probably suffer losses.

Chang Qing stood on the city wall, watching the catapults rolling down. The huge rocks smashed the people of Jiang State into a bloody mess like meteorites, and the sound of fighting was heard everywhere below.

Holding a bow and arrow, she slowly aimed at Liu Yan, who was extremely arrogant among the soldiers. The sharp arrow flew towards Liu Yan, who was unable to dodge and fell off his horse.

He was already surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was trampled by the passing horses and wailed continuously, with each scream becoming more and more miserable.

Chang Qing put away his bow and arrow, and led the charge personally. The cold and sharp blade shone with a snow-white light, and the warm blood splattered out, turning the ground blood red.
