Chapter 378 Wu Ge'er Goes to the North
After hearing this, Su Qingwan felt calm, but she was still thinking about the fact that Song Xiangzhi was dead. How would Su Zhiru feel if he knew about it?
"When a person dies, everything disappears into thin air." Su Qingwan said. She felt that this was very similar to the feelings her mother had for her father, which also disappeared into thin air.
Neither Xiaolin nor Zhenzhu responded. The carriage had already started moving, jogging along the way with a clattering sound.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a dim sum shop. After Zhenzhu went in and bought a large box of dim sum, the carriage moved again. When it stopped again, it had arrived at the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion.
After Su Qingwan exchanged a few simple greetings with her aunt, she went to look for her uncle.
"Qingwan, why are you here at this time?" Li Zhong asked.
"Hello, uncle!" Su Qingwan bowed and continued, "I have something I would like to ask for your help."
"What's the matter?"
"The emperor intends to have Prince An escort the grain and supplies to the northern border town, and I want Brother Wu to go with him." Su Qingwan said directly.
Su Yuewu has always wanted to join the army, but he hasn't waited for the right opportunity. Now it would be nice to take a trip to the northern border.
Li Zhong frowned slightly. Yuewu often played with his grandchildren and had very good martial arts skills. However, he had talked to Su Zhiru before and according to Su Zhiru, he wanted both Su Yuewen and Su Yuewu to pursue a career in politics.
But now Qingwan has decided to let Yuewu go to the northern border, which means she is obeying Wu.
"Have you discussed this matter with your father?"
Su Qingwan knew that he would definitely ask this question, so she just smiled and said, "Brother Wu has said since the day he started learning martial arts that he wants to be a great general in the future. Over the years, he has never changed his mind. Father has known this for a long time."
Li Zhong was old, and after hearing what Su Qingwan said, he understood that this matter should not be told to Su Zhiru.
But it doesn't matter whether it is mentioned or not. It would be a shame if a good talent like Su Yuewu did not follow the military path. Besides, food and supplies have been prepared and we will leave immediately, so time is tight.
"Okay! I'll arrange this matter. It's a good opportunity for my guys to go with you as well." Li Zhong said happily.
"Uncle, my brothers cannot leave Beijing."
Su Qingwan reminded that the emperor now does not want to see anyone from the Li family join the army to make contributions.
Li Zhong also reacted. He sighed, "The king's mind is hard to predict. I don't know when his doubts will disappear."
There are few emperors who are not suspicious, and even ordinary people are more or less suspicious.
"Uncle, since the emperor doesn't want people from the palace to join the army, it may not be a bad thing." Su Qingwan said with a smile.
Li Zhong shook his head, "He is afraid that the prince can't control others."
Su Qingwan stopped talking. The missing prince her uncle was referring to was the half-dead man in the East Palace, or it could be the emperor's other sons.
"I'll have someone arrange the matter, but Yue Wu has to leave today."
"Okay! I'll go tell Brother Wu."
Su Yuewu is at the palace. Just now he heard from Chen that he and Li Yukang were playing in the martial arts arena.
Li Zhong nodded, and waited for Su Qingwan to leave before calling his followers in.
Su Qingwan followed the maid from the palace to the martial arts arena. When they arrived, they saw several tall and handsome young men competing in archery.
Su Yuewu stood on one side of the martial arts field, his whole body like a straight green pine, holding the bow in his left hand and the arrow feather in his right hand. He pulled the full moon bowstring backwards to tighten, and suddenly let go. The arrow flew out and steadily pierced the center of the bull.
"Great!"
Li Yukang and others said immediately.
They had just tried this bow, and it was a little difficult to pull it to the full bow position. However, they did not expect that Wu Ge'er could pull it open so easily in one go, and it looked very easy.
Li Yukang pinched Su Yuewu's arm and felt that it was not as strong as his, but why was he so strong?
"My brothers have allowed me to do this... Hey! Sister, you're here too."
Su Yuewu had just said half of his words when he saw Su Qingwan approaching and immediately grinned.
"Sister, you are here!"
Li Yukang and the others also became happy immediately.
After Su Qingwan greeted them, she said to Su Yuewu, "Brother Wu, our uncle allowed us to go over there."
"Okay, let's go now." Su Yuewu didn't think too much about it. After saying something to Li Yukang and others, he followed Su Qingwan.
On the way, Su Yuewu told Su Qingwan about his interesting experiences today with great excitement. Su Qingwan listened with a smile. After he took a break, she said:
"Brother Wu, I just told my uncle that I want you to go to the northern border with food and supplies."
Su Yuewu didn't react and just stared at Su Qingwan blankly, but the next moment, he was overjoyed.
"Sister, are you serious? Let me go to the North?"
Su Qingwan nodded and smiled slightly. She was of course happy for Wu Ge'er that he could do what he had always wanted to do, but the road to becoming a true general was not easy.
"Of course it's true, but this trip is not easy. First of all, it's the weather. The further north you go, the colder it gets. What if..."
"Sister, I'm not afraid of the cold!" Su Yuewu interrupted Su Qingwan impatiently, as if he was afraid that she would not let him go.
"Don't be so impatient. You are going with the food and supplies this time, and you have a mission to accomplish." Su Qingwan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his appearance.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Sister, I can complete any task you ask me to do."
Su Yuewu looked like he was about to burn, his face full of excitement. He had wanted to go to the North for a long time, but his father did not agree and scolded him for doing nothing all day and just playing around.
Now, his sister actually told him that she could go to the North, so why should he be afraid of the cold?
He trains in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and it doesn't matter at all.
Not to mention the mission, Su Yuewu just felt that he was extremely powerful at this moment and there was no mission that he could not complete.
"This time the emperor will let Prince An accompany the grain transport as the supervising officer. You must prioritize saving Prince An's life." Su Qingwan said.
Hearing this, Su Yuewu frowned, "What about the food?"
"Food and grass are of course important, but if Prince An dies, these food and grass will not be preserved."
Su Yuewu frowned even more tightly. In his opinion, Prince An was not as important as food and fodder. If the food and fodder were lost, the soldiers in the north would suffer.
Looking at his expression, Su Qingwan had already guessed that he was comparing the two.
But in her eyes, the reason why Prince An could not die was because he was Han Yue's future husband. As for food and fodder, there were naturally other ways to transport them to the northern border.
This time they must be sent out to ensure the safety of Wu Ge'er and Prince An, as well as the delivery of food and fodder!
