Quick Wear: The Cold Beauty's Sickly Husband is Super Clingy

Xiahou Yi turned his head to look at Ning Lanyin, his eyes falling on the faces of the mother and daughter.

They seemed to look familiar.

"Are you from the official family of Gaoling City? I seem to have seen you somewhere before."

Ning Lanyin said softly, "My third brother and I are from the Cheng'an Marquis's Mansion. My husband's surname is Song, and my husband is Song Yinfeng, the legitimate son of the Minister of Works."

Xiahou Yi said softly: "They are the women of the Song family."

He remembered the Minister of Works named Song. He was quite capable and had only one son, who was Ning Lanyin's husband.

That Song Yinfeng is an even more interesting person.

Although his literary talent is limited, Song Yinfeng has outstanding talents in craftsmanship and business.

Both the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue were vying for this person.

The most gossipy thing is that the other party has been married for seven years and has only one daughter, but he refuses to take a concubine or a side wife, and only wants to live with his first wife.

People outside say that they have a deep affection for each other, and now it seems that the rumors are true.

Ning Lanyin asked in a gentle voice, "May I ask if you are the commander of the garrison in Lujiang City?"

Xiahou Yi shook his head, "No."

"I am Xiahou Yi, the current imperial tutor. I am heading north this time on orders to stop the rebel army of the Prince of Yudong. On the way, I happened to meet soldiers from Quyang County who asked for help."

He sighed and explained, "Lujiang City was also attacked by the rebels, and we were unable to withdraw troops to rescue them, so no reinforcements have arrived yet."

Not to mention Lujiang City, nearby cities were also raided by the army of King Yudong.

Therefore, Quyang County received no reinforcements for a long time.

Ning Lanyin bowed and saluted, and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help this time."

If the Grand Tutor had not arrived with his troops in time, her brother and the already small number of defenders would have all died outside the city, and Quyang County would have been lost.

By then, the people in the city will surely suffer.

Xiahou Yi glanced at her indifferently, but his mind drifted to the current situation.

The late emperor passed away last March and the crown prince succeeded to the throne.

The new emperor ascended the throne last spring and has only been in power for a year and a half.

As the prince's teacher, he loyally assisted the new emperor in governing the Wei Kingdom, but the old villain Prince Yudong officially rebelled two months ago.

When the previous emperor was in power, the King of Yudong was law-abiding.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Prince of Yudong, who had been keeping a low profile for many years, began to stir, from small-scale fighting at the beginning to the current rebellion.

This person's scheming was too deep, and he was good at inciting people's hearts, which led many important officials of the court to unite with him.

To say he is an ambitious jackal is an understatement.

The other side had money, food and troops, and they marched southward to attack cities and expand their territory.

With Xiangyuan City, the fief of King Yudong, as its center, his sphere of influence expanded rapidly, and in just two months he had captured fifteen cities in the north.

Otherwise, the new emperor would not have sent him and several other generals north to eliminate the rebels.

The emperor issued a death order that the King of Yudong must be killed and his remaining followers must be eradicated; the King of Yudong’s power must not be allowed to continue to grow.

If the King of Yudong is allowed to continue to develop, Gaoling City will sooner or later become his prey, and then the common people will face a disaster.

Therefore, he can only win and not lose on this trip.

But he didn't expect that the King of Yudong had already extended his hand to the cities, counties and towns near Lujiang.

If the garrison in Lujiang City cannot hold out this time, then the army that Prince Yudong is heading south will surely increase in strength, which will greatly boost Prince Yudong's arrogance.

Fortunately, he met soldiers from Quyang County on the road, who sent troops to support Lujiang City and its nearby cities, thus preventing the further expansion of King Yudong's power.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yi looked at the door through which the maids were coming in and out carrying hot water.

"Mrs. Song, why is your brother being sent out to serve as an official?"

As a child of the Cheng'an Earl's Mansion, Ning Zishu could completely rely on his ancestors' influence to obtain an official position and stay in Gaoling City to live a rich and safe life.

Ning Lanyin replied, "My brother is the third child in his family. He won the third place in the imperial examination when he came of age. My father and eldest brother wanted to keep him in Gaoling City to serve as an official, but my third brother wanted to go out and try his luck."

"He requested to be transferred to another place as an official. He has been staying in Quyang County for the past three years and rarely went home. Now that his term of office has expired, he has been transferred back to Gaoling City."

"But my third brother is so seriously injured now..."

She swallowed the remaining worries back into her throat and didn't say anything unlucky.

No, Third Brother will be fine!

Her brother is both talented in literature and martial arts, so he will definitely be safe.

Xiahou Yi said in a firm voice: "Ning County Magistrate Ji is blessed by heaven and will definitely survive this disaster. His good fortune is still to come!"

As long as Ning Zishu can hold on, he will definitely have the wealth and glory that belongs to him.

Talents like Ning Zishu, who are both civil and military, are exactly what the Wei court urgently needs, and they are also the loyal and upright subjects that the current emperor needs most.
