Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms
Chapter 251 The end of civil strife
Su Ji, a general, was chopped off by a small soldier like a white chicken.
What really happened is so unexpected. Su Ji was such a powerful character, but he died in such a weird way. Who wouldn't sigh? This is so unrealistic that it would be criticized even if it was written into a novel.
At this time, reinforcements from the south led by the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Xi family of Gaoping and the Huan family of Longkang had arrived in Jiankang. They joined forces with the troops stationed in Jiankang and jointly launched an attack on Shitou City.
The terrain of Shitou City is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Su Ji's son led the soldiers to stay in the city and stubbornly resisted the attack of the Jin army.
After half a month of fierce fighting, the food and supplies in the city were gradually exhausted, and the soldiers were exhausted.
Faced with the enemy's fierce attack, Su Ji's son finally could not hold on any longer.
In desperation, he made a forced decision - to open the city gates and surrender to the enemy.
As the city gate slowly opened, Su Ji's son led the remaining soldiers out of the city gate and surrendered to the reinforcements from the south.
This fierce battle finally came to an end, but it also meant a change in the power struggle within the Dajin regime.
The civil strife finally ended, and General Wei then led his troops to the northern battlefield to provide support.
The war in Jiankang ended, and the city gates could finally be opened, allowing people to enter and leave freely.
It just so happens that the autumn harvest season is approaching, and with food, there will not be starving people everywhere and bones everywhere on the road.
Fortunately, after the civil strife, Luo Qin and several ladies from aristocratic families provided porridge to the people in the city, reducing the death toll of many poor people.
It is said that the Yu family was basically destroyed in this war, and most of its important members died. Only the younger generation Yu Qillang and several of his brothers were still alive as they fought against the Hu people in the north.
The Yu family has obviously been severely damaged and is no longer a force to be reckoned with, and the new nobles from the south will divide up and replace the Yu family's power and position.
In a month, Luo Qin was due to give birth. She was becoming more and more bulky, and had gained a lot of weight. Her lower body was a little swollen. This was too depressing for a beauty like Luo Qin. Every time she looked in the mirror, she would hug her husband and cry. Xie Yun had to coax her in a soft voice.
Because Luo Qin was about to give birth, Luo Ji was worried about his daughter and moved directly into Xie's house.
Right now, Jiankang City is busy with its reorganization, and Xie Yun is rarely at home during the day.
The weather in July was unusually hot and humid, even at night it was dry and dry. Luo Qin sat on the couch to enjoy the cool air, with the scent of incense wafting through the room, feeling very comfortable.
She was wearing a thin gauze skirt and gently waving a palm-leaf fan in her hand. The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.
The cushions on the couch were soft and comfortable. Luo Qin leaned slightly to the side, holding a book in his hand, and carefully checked the shop's revenue accounts, which included not only his own but also Xie's business.
Since Xie Yun entered the officialdom, Xie's businesses and shops gradually transferred to Luo Qin, who managed them together with Wang.
The woman's long hair fell on the couch like a waterfall, fluttering slightly, and her jade-white skin was faintly visible under her gauze clothes.
The light on the desk was dim, illuminating the book in her hands.
The incense in the room exudes a faint fragrance that permeates the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
I don’t know how long it took, Luo Qin put down the book, closed his eyes slightly tiredly, took a shallow breath, and felt the influence of the fragrance, as if all the troubles were thrown away, enjoying this moment of comfort.
Rufang saw it and asked, "Madam, are you going to rest?"
Hearing this, Luo Qin opened his eyes and looked through the window into the distance. The moonlight outside sprinkled on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.
She asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost midnight."
It's almost nine o'clock in the evening.
It was so late and Xie Jun hadn't come back yet. Luo Qin sighed softly, "Wait a little longer."
Luo Qin sat on the couch, holding a book in her hand, but she had no intention of reading. She looked towards the door from time to time, hoping that Xie Jun would return.
Finally, after a while, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the servant announced: "Madam, the eldest master is back."
A smile instantly appeared on Luo Qin's face.
The servant opened the door and Xie Yun walked in in his official uniform.
The man had a tired look on his face, but when he saw Luo Qin, his eyes became gentle.
Luo Qin held her belly and stood up, walked towards her husband, and said softly, "Bo'an, you're back."
Xie Yun nodded and said, "Sorry for keeping Ping'er waiting for a long time, why don't you go to bed first?"
Luo Qin walked over and hugged the man's arm, muttering, "I can't sleep without you..."
Xie Yun's brows softened even more, and she raised her hand and touched her hair with a smile. Luo Qin asked, "Has Bo Anke had dinner?"
Xie Yun nodded, "I've already used it outside."
After hearing this, Luo Qin said, "In that case, I have asked the servants to prepare water. Bo'an should go and take a bath and change clothes first."
Xie Jun looked at Luo Qin gratefully, then walked towards the bathroom. Luo Qin sat aside, waiting quietly.
After a while, Xie Yun came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a loose robe and his hair was still wet.
Luo Qin walked forward, took the cloth from the servant, and dried her husband's hair. "Bo'an, what happened in the court today? Why are you back so late?"
Xie Yun nodded casually and said, "It's just a few things. Don't worry. Just take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he took the towel from Luo Qin's hand and wiped his own hair.
Luo Qin withdrew her hand, sighed softly, and said: "I know, Bo'an, you are dedicated to serving the country, but you should also pay attention to your health and don't get too tired."
After drying his hair, Xie Yun handed the towel to Wu Yan, then held Luo Qin's hand and said softly, "I know, Ping'er, don't worry."
Luo Qin pulled him to sit down and said with a smile: "You and I are husband and wife, how can I not care about you? If you have anything, you can tell me. Although my brain can't do anything big for you, it can help you share some trivial matters."
