Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

"My Lord, must we go?"

Fang Rou's face was full of worry. Lu Jing was her heaven and the only hope for her and her son.

If anything happens to him on the battlefield, who can the mother and son rely on?

Fang Rou's concern contrasts with the old lady's ruthlessness, the latter seems so ironic.

Although Lu Jing felt that Fang Rou was too petty and could not understand the deeper meaning behind this, he was very grateful for her care for him.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lu Jing smiled confidently, feeling confident!

He had already inquired about it. He knew that the military supervisor was staying in the rear and did not need to go to the battlefield. Although he had a passionate heart to serve the country, he also knew his own limitations.

Going to the battlefield to kill the enemy was the Prince of Huainan's job; he only needed to bring the court's supplies.

Zhuhong and Liulu looked at each other, hiding their anxiety, and said, "My Lord, the battlefield is extremely dangerous. I hope you will take care of yourself."

The two sisters bowed gracefully, which made Lu Jing even more excited - at this moment, he seemed to have become the hope of the whole mansion!

Shen Ruoyan, on the other hand, did not say anything in front of everyone. She just kept Lu Jing alone after everyone else left.

"My Lord, the position of military supervisor is also of utmost importance. You must be careful when you go there."

Her serious expression suddenly calmed Lu Jing's feverish mind, "But what news did you get from your family?"

Since Shen Ruoyan left him alone, it means that this matter is of great importance and should not be leaked.

Lu Jing thought that perhaps the news that he was going to take on the position of military supervisor had spread, so the Shen family might have received some information.

After all, he is the grandson-in-law of the Shen family!

If we return victorious this time, the Shen family will also be proud of it!

Shen Ruoyan nodded, with admiration in her eyes, "My Lord is indeed very smart, there must be news from home."

The academy opened by her grandfather was located near mountains and rivers. Although it seemed isolated from the outside world, it was actually well connected and very convenient.

This piece of news was naturally not sent by the Shen family. Lu Jing had just been selected as the military supervisor, and even if a thousand-mile horse was used to deliver the message, it would not be so fast.

She said she had received the news before and just remembered it now.

"I heard that there have been bandits in the Daxing Mountain area recently. If possible, please try to take a detour."

The most feared thing for the government when escorting grain and grass is an accident on the way. If anything is lost, then Lu Jing's job as a military supervisor will be over!

"Is this true?" Lu Jing was somewhat puzzled. The shortest way for them to go to Nanwu was through Daxing Mountain. If they took a detour and missed the opportunity to fight, he would be in trouble too!

"This is the topographic map of Daxing Mountain. My Lord, you can go directly from this side."

Shen Ruoyan took out the topographic map that he had prepared long ago. This was drawn by Pei Rushi himself. "From this side, we can go around without having to walk a long way."

That is the back side of Daxing Mountain. Because it is overgrown with weeds and no one cares about it, few people walk there compared to the main road in front of the mountain.

As long as Lu Jing leads the team to sneak in from here, he can avoid the bandits ahead. Moreover, he won't have to go around in circles and delay the opportunity to fight.

"I didn't expect that Madam would make such thorough preparations for me!" Lu Jing's eyes lit up. This way, even if the matter about the bandits was false, he wouldn't be delayed.

This was his first time supervising the army, and before meeting the King of Huainan, he had to be cautious in everything he did.

Shen Ruoyan handed him the topographic map and said, "My Lord, please remember to be careful."

Lu Jing is usually careless, but this time, it is an opportunity he has worked so hard to get, so he will definitely give it his all.

Shen Ruoyan was not worried that he would have second thoughts. It would be abnormal if he didn't. However, as long as the food and grass could reach Nanwu smoothly, then everything would be hopeful.

Meng Su was ruthless this time. They had reached a moment of life and death. Without supplies, everyone would have to wait for death!

I hope the King of Huainan can resist such a determined team...

The opportunity for battle could not be delayed. After Lu Jing organized his troops, he rushed to Nanwu as quickly as possible.

Nanwu, under the leadership of King Huainan, was on the defensive instead of attacking. He had to preserve his strength before the imperial army was sent.

"Your Majesty, the King of Huainan is hiding behind the city gate like a coward. No matter how we provoke him, he won't come out to fight!"

General Meng Su wiped the sweat off his face and said, "What the heck is Dasheng's most powerful general? I think he's just a dandy boy who took advantage of his status as a prince to steal the credit!"

The former general was shot to death by arrows in order to protect the old emperor during the palace turmoil.

The current successor is the new emperor's brother-in-law, who is brave but not wise.

But he had just ascended the throne and was in urgent need of placing his own people in these important positions, so the emperor looked at him and endured it!

"The King of Huainan is not as simple as you think. Don't underestimate the enemy."

He knew that the King of Huainan was waiting for support from the army behind him.

Now they have seized the initiative. If they wait until the imperial army arrives, the battle will surely become tense!

They can't afford to delay!

"Continue to intensify the offensive, and have people shout from the bottom of the city wall, saying that the King of Huainan is a spineless bastard. The harsher the curse, the better. I don't believe he can tolerate it!"

With the emperor's order, Meng Su sent people to curse at the city gate every day. Those words were unbearable to hear, and although the King of Huainan could bear it, his subordinates could not bear it anymore.

"Zhang Biao, what do you want to do?!"

Seeing that the deputy general was about to rush out, the King of Huainan grabbed him and said, "A little impatience can ruin a big plan. How come you haven't made any progress in all these years?"

Zhang Biao was a mighty man, and he didn't change his expression when he rushed through the hail of swords and spears.

But now, his eyes are red.

"Your Majesty, you have risked your life for Nanwu, and your life has been on the line so many times. I really cannot bear to see you being abused like this!"

If they had seized the opportunity in time when Meng Su made some unusual moves, how could they have ended up in this situation?

In the final analysis, it’s all because the emperor doesn’t trust the prince. Doesn’t he think that these military generals can’t see that?

The emperor is just deceiving himself.

"Wang Biao, we are warriors. We use swords and spears, not just words."

"If you can't even endure this, then you don't have to participate in this battle!"

Wang Biao was stunned, and quickly stepped forward to admit his mistake, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done! I, your humble servant, will not say any more. Is it ok if I do not say any more?"

King Huainan looked at him helplessly. This Wang Biao was good in every way except his temper. He was too impulsive.

Although what he said just now was a bit harsh, if Wang Biao really couldn't bear it, then he really wouldn't let him fight.

This Mengsu emperor obviously wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people. If he couldn't control his emotions, he would fall into their trap once he went to the battlefield.

It’s better not to go!
