So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Some adults do not have sons of marriageable age at home, and many children of civil servants are intent on taking imperial examinations.

None of them can lift or carry anything with their hands. Although they have learned the six arts of a gentleman, most of them have only learned a few skills. Sending them to the battlefield will only make them a burden.

Shu Rongxue naturally knew this truth. She wanted to express her attitude, so she arranged in advance for Feng Wenjun, the wife of Lu Yunsheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to come forward and express her position at the right time.

Madam Lu said earnestly, "Princess, I am ashamed to say that my son is still young and cannot follow the army to the battle, but my husband will help to mobilize military rations to the front line, and he will definitely do a good job and will not disappoint the prince and princess."

With Madam Lu setting an example, no matter how dumb the women present knew they had to show their loyalty together.

Xiao Yueshan also stood up and said that her husband would be in the Ministry of Works to cast weapons and armor.

After everyone finished speaking, Prime Minister Song Pu's wife, Mrs. Xie, raised her glass and toasted: "The attack on Wuge is in accordance with the will of heaven and the people. This time, Prince Jin will lead the army in person and will surely return victorious!"

Because her brother Xie Wenchang was previously involved in a major corruption case in Jiangzhou, the Prime Minister's wife kept a low profile for a while and seldom attended banquets. Even if she was invited, she was very silent.

Her family had lost power, and she only had the airs of a prime minister's wife to rely on, always seeming inferior among the ladies of noble families.

Seeing that Song Pu's wife was also willing to come out to add icing on the cake, the Princess of Jin was very satisfied and took over the conversation and said, "Thank you, Madam Prime Minister, for your kind words. All the ministers have worked together. Our Great Zhao is blessed by the will of heaven and will surely return with a great victory."

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate and the banquet ended successfully.

The ladies said goodbye one after another. Mu Jin, who was beside the Princess of Jin, winked at Xiao Yueshan, and she immediately understood and just stayed at the end, waiting to stay and receive new instructions.

"You have done a great job. Yuyan brought some finished products here. I see that they are no different from those cast by the Ministry of Works." The Princess of Jin nodded and praised.

"As long as the princess is satisfied." Xiao Yueshan bowed and thanked.

"Now that the army is about to set out, the prince will definitely need manpower for everything. I would like your husband to go with the prince. Are you willing?" The Princess of Jin asked in a kind voice.

If you want to eat fish, do you have to ask the fish whether it is willing?

Xiao Yueshan felt that the nobleman's hypocrisy was really unnecessary. How could they refuse?

"We are truly flattered by the prince and princess's kindness. But my husband is just a scholar, and it takes a lot of effort for him to manage the casting business. He is not familiar with military tactics or martial arts. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for His Majesty, that's all." Xiao Yueshan also said politely.

"During the previous autumn banquet, the speech of Lord Zuoqiu was drafted by Lord Zhou? It contains the six military strategies used by Emperor Taizu in his campaigns. How can Madam Zhou say that Lord Zhou does not understand military strategies? Is it possible that he is unwilling to serve?" The Princess of Jin sipped her tea leisurely.

Uh... I had completely forgotten about this. Xiao Yueshan immediately remembered the incident of plagiarizing the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

"It's just talk. If the prince and princess don't mind, my husband will certainly be willing to serve you." She answered readily and looked very loyal.

"Very good, you continue to help me keep an eye on the affairs of Yufeng Manor. The war is urgent now, and the more coins we cast, the better. If you need any money or manpower, just ask Yuyan to do it." After getting Xiao Yueshan's assurance, the Princess of Jin let her leave.

She has been overwhelmed with things to do recently. Lu Jiayan ran away from home and has not been found yet, Zhou Yao has to follow the army to war, and she is still trapped in the capital city working as a contractor for the Princess of Jin. She is really overwhelmed.

Xiao Yueshan wondered why the Jin prince and his wife were so interested in the essay they wrote. Could they be so desperate that they would try any possible means? Could a casual article written by a civil servant be considered as a master of military tactics?

The carriage was moving, and suddenly stopped. Xiao Yueshan came back to his senses and asked, "What happened?"

In the past, she always asked Shu Tong to ride in the carriage with her and not let her walk below. Now the coachman outside was hesitant and couldn't answer clearly.

Shu Tong lifted the car curtain and stepped out. Xiao Yueshan only saw from the corner that there was a sturdy BMW outside the car.

"Madam, it's General Pei." Shu Tong tried to keep his voice calm.

The sound of horse hooves came closer, and Xiao Yueshan heard the sound of a man dismounting from his horse.

"Sister Yueshan, the army will set off soon. Can we have a chat at Linfeng Pavilion?" Pei Ji's voice was filled with irrepressible urgency.

Xiao Yueshan's heart tightened. She was already upset because of the work she was doing and really didn't want to deal with Pei Ji's love affairs.

But on second thought, there are many doubts about the invasion of Wuge this time. Pei Ji is the commander of an army after all, so perhaps we can get some useful information from him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yueshan said, "Thank you for inviting me, General. Can I ask my husband to come with us? We will go later."

"That's great. I also want to talk more with Brother Zhou." Pei Ji seemed very happy. After getting on his horse, he drove it closer to the window and whispered, "My sister and I will go first. We will send someone to invite Brother Zhou."

Seeing how anxious he was, Xiao Yueshan thought it would be difficult to ask Zhou Yao, a jealous person, questions, so she asked Pei Ji's people to go to the Ministry of Works to invite Zhou Yao over, and she took Shu Tong and Pei Ji to Linfeng Pavilion first.

When they arrived at Linfeng Pavilion, Pei Ji quickly dismounted and was about to help Xiao Yueshan. Xiao Yueshan put on his veil hat and ignored Pei Ji's outstretched hand and got off the car by herself.

Pei Ji didn't care too much and led her to the reserved private room.

After entering the private room, Pei Ji warmly invited Xiao Yueshan to sit down and personally poured tea for her.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder how you are?" His eyes were burning, as if he wanted to depict the appearance of his beloved through the curtain.

"Thank you for your concern, General. I'm fine." Xiao Yueshan replied, "But I'm married, and it's inappropriate for you to invite me privately." She thought about it and decided to point out the problem first.

"If my sister felt it was inappropriate, she would not have come with me." Pei Ji's eyes flashed.

"General, you are right. I shouldn't have come." Xiao Yueshan lowered his eyes and covered the teacup in his hand with his sleeve. "But I have to meet you today even though it is against etiquette. I have something important to ask you."

Pei Ji sat up straight after hearing this, "Oh? Sister, you can ask if you want."

"This time, Wuge is coming with great force. Several cities on our border have been lost one after another. Even General Shou was defeated and sacrificed. I wonder if the general has any way to deal with it this time?" Xiao Yueshan said in a serious tone.

Pei Ji smiled and said confidently: "Although Wu Ge is brave, my Da Zhao is not without a chance of winning. I have formulated a detailed battle plan and will definitely be able to repel the enemy."

"It's a good thing that the general has such confidence, but Wu Ge is good at riding and shooting, and has a strong army and horses, so he is not easy to deal with." Xiao Yueshan said, "The general can first prepare a strategy to deal with the cavalry, so as not to be too passive."

"My sister, you are absolutely right. In the past, I only knew that you were well-read, but I didn't know that you also had insights into warfare." Pei Ji's eyes were still affectionate, and his dimples never disappeared.

"I know my sister is worried about my safety, and I will definitely return victorious!"

Xiao Yueshan was surprised at Pei Ji's self-strategy ability and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before she could react, a pair of large hands lifted the curtain in front of her: "Since you came back this time, your words and actions have changed a lot. You are not the person I am familiar with."

The curtain opened and she met his sparkling eyes.

"You are not her." Pei Ji blurted out without thinking.
