The Reborn Concubine Returns

Chapter 19: Secrets of Southern Border

When she arrived at the restaurant, Bai Qingran went straight to the tea lounge on the second floor, ordered a pot of jasmine tea and a few plates of pastries, then quietly watched the scenery on the street outside the window, leaving Gu Qingping beside her who was confused.Unexpectedly, without waiting for Gu Qingping to ask Bai Qingran, she picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and asked Gu Qingping with a smile.

"Does the lord know where the news is the most authentic and widespread in a city?" Gu Qingping looked at Bai Qingran who was smiling mysteriously, and shook his head with a low eyebrow and said he didn't know.

"The most well-informed restaurant in this city is this restaurant, especially the tea seat of this restaurant is the place where the people of the city hang out and chat. In this noisy restaurant where people come and go, sit for a long time That's enough to know." Bai Qingran raised the corners of her mouth and got up to pour a cup of tea for Gu Qingping, seeing Gu Qingping's eyes lit up, she lowered her head and drank the tea in the cup, then sat down with a smile on her face, the two of them remained silent like this It was so quiet that I sat in this noisy restaurant relatively silently for an afternoon.

At night, in Bai Qingran's room, there was only half of a drowsy candle that was struggling to flow red. When Gu Qingping slapped the table, Bai Qingran's eyes trembled, looking at the remaining half of the candle in shock, She thought to herself that if he didn't persuade Gu Qingping, maybe even the only half of the candle would go to the west.

"It's unreasonable that the local officials in southern Xinjiang have all eaten up their ambitions. How dare they block the sick people and prevent them from going in for medical treatment? In times of famine, they dared to pretend to be imperial decrees and increase taxes privately. Search young adults to serve as private troops As a result, except for Yundi County, where they gathered in the southern border of Nuoda, a large number of people are living in dire straits, and the complaints have forced some people to rise up. They even dare to ask the imperial court to suppress it. Maybe they really think that the king is blind Can't you?" Seeing that Gu Qingping was so angry for the first time, Bai Qingran couldn't care less about the candle, and quickly patted him on the back to comfort him.

"Don't be angry, my lord. Think about it, these dog officials dare to commit so many serious crimes enough to copy the nine clans in southern Xinjiang. They must be in collusion with important officials in the court. This coincides with the purpose of our trip." Bai Qingran's gentle voice calmed down Gu Qingping's anger slightly like a clear spring, and took a cup of herbal tea from Bai Qingran.

"Qing Ran is right. Although this trip to southern Xinjiang was much earlier than in the last life, it must have been the conspiracy of that old man Situ. Since in the last life he shielded these local officials from deducting the military salary from me, how can I do it in this life? Can't you cover up these dog officials to do such a bold thing?" Gu Qingping took a sip of herbal tea, and slowly calmed down, carefully recalling the situation of his trip to southern Xinjiang in his last life.The last life was different from this one, but in the last life, he did not go out to the streets to observe the people's sentiments, but when he arrived in southern Xinjiang, he was taken by that Zhao Fulai to a place where the rebel party gathered to set up camp and march, that is to say, in the last life The rebel party is likely to be the people who were forced to turn against each other when they had nowhere to go.However, it seemed that there were many unreasonable things in it, and Gu Qingping fell into deep thought for a moment.

"General Gu, General Gu, the rebels are attacking the city! The rebels are attacking the city!" Before Gu Qingping could figure it out, Vice General Xu's panicked voice came from outside the door. He was startled, and before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly grasped the sword and pushed the door out.

To Gu Qingping's surprise, the situation in this battle was the same as in the previous life. Taking advantage of the victory, he chased after the rebel army, but unexpectedly, he was trapped on the mountain by the rebel army, and the food and grass were cut off halfway by someone, so that his 15 army was only [-] in the end. Army, Yu Wentai also had a quarrel with him in this battle of southern Xinjiang, guessing that he deliberately damaged the court's troops, but he didn't expect that after these changes in this life, the tactics of these rebels would not change in the slightest , a bloodthirsty smile curled up on the corner of Gu Qingping's mouth, he stopped the army's pursuit, summoned Vice General Xu and whispered a few words, then watched Vice General Xu return to the city with almost half of his troops.

Bai Qingran frowned and looked at the sharp-eyed Gu Qingping on the horse, but unexpectedly, the man turned around and grinned at him with a silly smile, and drove the horse to his side.

"Qingran, it's too dangerous to chase the bandits. You'd better stay in the city with Deputy General Xu." Gu Qingping watched as Bai Qingran's slightly rounded cheeks in Beijing became thinner during the southern expedition for more than a month. There was only a handful of bones left, and he was afraid that a thicker cloak on the man's shoulders would crush him.

"My lord, did you forget that Qingran also knows some martial arts?" Bai Qingran looked at Gu Qingping's sympathy for his body, which was reflected by the torch, and became angry. Looking at Gu Qingping.

But in the end, Bai Qingran couldn't resist Gu Qingping's coaxing and deception, so she stayed in the city unwillingly. Bai Qingran looked worriedly at Gu Qingping's vigorous appearance in silver armor on the horseback, he didn't Too many obstructions, just because he fully believed that Gu Qingping was really a man of destiny, and he must have his reasons for chasing him.However, Bai Qingran lowered her eyebrows to hide the deep worry in her eyes, she still couldn't let it go and kept praying for that person's safe return.

Gu Qingping led the army all the way to Yunti Mountain, and waved his hand to order the army to camp at the foot of the mountain. His slender peach eyes looked at the dense and dark green Yunti Mountain where the rebels fled. The momentum of the inevitable is shocking.Heh, Situ Hui, in this life, I want you to taste the feeling of being alone and trapped in the mud.

Under the command of Gu Qingping, Deputy General Xu led the rest of the tens of thousands of troops to block the inside and outside of Yundi City, especially the residences of various local officials were heavily guarded. Panicked, he hurriedly sent messages to Situ Hui in the capital for further instructions, and Xu Wen followed Gu Qingping's instructions and intercepted each of the Feige letters, and then sent a copy to the capital. .Bai Qingran was not idle either. Before Gu Qingping set off, he gave Gu Qingping a sachet containing lavender, mosquito repellent, mugwort, evening primrose and other things to remove insects and snakes so that Gu Qingping could avoid the insects in the southern border forest. The infestation of strange snakes and insects, now that Gu Qingping is leading the army, he heard Vice General Xu say that Gu Qingping led the army into the mountains, and he must rush to make these medicine packs in large quantities for the emergency needs of the army.Bai Qingran ordered Xiao Qing'er to find some women who were good at sewing and embroidery in the city, and quickly sew the medicine he grabbed from the medicine shop into a medicine bag that soldiers could carry with them.
