After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The Empress Dowager released her, feeling extremely tired; she had indeed just had a dream.

I dreamt of the people she killed when I was young, and they wanted to take their lives from me.

But on what basis? The winner takes all, the loser is condemned. If they can't win, they have to die.

The Empress Dowager was helped up and sat up halfway.

"Go."

The voice was calm and even, without any ripples.

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the Empress Dowager didn't remember what had happened earlier.

They're lucky to be alive!

The palace maids automatically agreed on one story: that the Empress Dowager was having a nightmare, without mentioning at all that she had gone mad.

The Fang family did not participate in the series of major events that occurred in the capital; they simply observed the situation.

In fact, Fang Yin and Fang Tong felt that these matters were subtly affecting the Le family army.

They sent messengers to the border to report these events.

By the way, Fang Nanzhi and the others finally arrived a day ago.

Guo Cheng.

This is a strategically important border city, with troops stationed both inside and outside the city.

Even local people could pick up hoes and other tools to join the fight in critical moments.

The city wall was covered with a layer of moss, and soldiers with impeccable military discipline stood on it.

Outside the city gate, boys and girls crowded into a horse-drawn carriage.

Fang Nanzhi, Qin Yan, and Zheng Wanru stared at Le Qi together.

How do you plan to get in?

Should they show themselves directly at the city gate and attract the attention of the Le family army, or should they go in discreetly and observe the situation?

Le Qi smiled slightly: "I heard that the Prince of Ning's heir is coming in two days."

Before leaving the capital, Yue Qi had already received a warning from his uncle about who had harmed him.

He has to be very careful in everything he does.

"Oh, this is nothing to worry about. With a real grandson like you, who would bother with a fake raccoon?"

Fang Nanzhi waved her hand.

Le Qi's lips twitched: "What do you mean by 'real grandson'?"

Qin Yan coughed lightly, suppressing his laughter, and explained on behalf of his sister.

"Don't misunderstand, she wasn't insulting you, she was saying you are General Le's only true grandson."

The Prince of Ning's heir then became a fake fox.

Although that's the logic, Le Qi still felt uncomfortable.

"Then we need to make some arrangements."

Le Qi simply skipped the topic.

Contrary to Fang Nanzhi's idea of ​​"making a living based on one's looks," Le Qi simply took out his token and had someone deliver it to the guards at the city gate.

Then they were politely invited inside.

We walked through the bustling streets and stopped in front of a house.

When they went inside, they saw seven or eight men in armor bowing in unison.

"Meet the young general."

Le Qi looked at them with surprise.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Qian... Brother He, what are you all doing here?"

He's known these uncles and aunts since he was a child.

I learned a lot from them when I was young, but about half a year ago, they all said that I was getting old, had caught a cold, my wife had given birth to a third child, etc., and that I had to go back to my hometown to farm.

Although Yue Qi was reluctant to part with them, he thought that his family had no future, so what was the point of forcibly keeping them here?

He released them without hesitation.

But how did I end up seeing you here?

"Reporting to the young general, we are all members of the Yue family army. If we are not here, where would we be?"

"Over the years, we have been following the general and training our troops in secret, ensuring a continuous supply of recruits for the Le family army, so that one day we can restore the glory of the Le family."

Several people offered their own explanations.

The young general has arrived in Guocheng; there are some things that no longer need to be hidden.

You have to say what needs to be said.

Le Qi was completely confused.

"So, my uncle has been helping His Majesty raise troops not simply to do what he can for the court in his remaining years, but to plan the restoration of the Yue family army?"

"That's not right. Shouldn't my family be working harder to train me? Why didn't my grandmother, mother, and uncle allow me to join the army? I had to beg them on my knees."

Le Qi felt there was something illogical about it.

Uncle Wang and the others exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.

"If you hadn't trained the young general, would you have achieved your current skill level?"

"Young general, don't you remember? When you were four or five years old, you were greedy and lazy, and you didn't like martial arts at all."

"It started with Xiao Gu stealing your chicken leg, forcing you to chase after him. This is how you train your leg strength."

"When you got a little older, chicken legs weren't enough, so Xiao Gu would beat you up every few days."

"Xiao Gu's parents were both soldiers of the Le family. They died after making great contributions. They were raised by the Le family, and the old lady of the Le family treated him like a grandson."

"So it's no use complaining. According to the rules of the Le family, conflicts among peers, unless they involve life or death, should be resolved by themselves."

"You only started practicing martial arts to avoid getting beaten up."

Le Qi clutched his chest. So when he was a child, he was always beaten by Brother Gu. It wasn't childish play; it was intentional.

Gu Jingxuan smiled brightly: "Young Master, there's no need to be upset. In order for me to bully you for a few more years, my uncle has privately trained me quite a bit, forcing me to suffer a lot."

By the time Le Qi turned thirteen, Gu Jingxuan was no match for him.

"After that, they started teaching you about the history of the Yue family, the glory of the family... and occasionally letting you hear some of the outside discussions about the Yue family."

This is tantamount to planting a seed in Yue Qi's mind, giving him the desire to revive the glory of his ancestors.

As for the final step, he had to kneel and beg to get the opportunity to join the army; that was a test.

The Yue family members are not of firm mind; how could they possibly join the army?

Le Qi was stunned. He took two steps back, looking very hurt.

"You...you all did this on purpose?"

He was tricked by his grandmother and uncle; he had been caught in their trap since he was a child.

Seeing that he was a little depressed, Qin Yan comforted him.

"Ahem, General Yue, there's no need to take it to heart. You have a strong sense of righteousness. Even without the encouragement of your family, wouldn't you have chosen this path?"

"At least for now, every choice you make is something you truly want to do from the bottom of your heart."

Le Qi was comforted.

That's right, he just loves going into battle and killing enemies, and he's always thinking about the glory of his ancestors.

He is such an ambitious young man. He wasn't deceived; he got to where he is today step by step. His family's actions were completely unnecessary.

Behind them, Fang Nanzhi and Zheng Wanru could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

The main issue is Fang Nanzhi; she's truly disillusioned.

Since she met Le Qi, she had always thought he was capable, diligent, and ambitious. She never expected that... he was driven to achieve this through hard work and encouragement.

That's hilarious! The gluttonous fat guy, and the doormat...

Haha, I have to say, the Le family really knows how to raise their children.

Le Qi blushed slightly, a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, Uncle Wang, since you've arrived early, please tell me in detail about the Le Family Army."

He changed the subject, saying that no matter what he thought, he had to wait until he returned to Beijing to seek justice from his uncle.

Now is not the time to talk about the past.

His uncles and aunts gave him a lot of face and briefly explained the situation.

The current head of the Le family, Deputy General Yang, was promoted by the former General Le.

They all knew that Yue Qi had arrived, and the army had prepared a bonfire party tonight to celebrate.

Le Qi wasn't stupid. If Deputy General Yang hadn't come to see him, who knew he might have some dissatisfaction with him, the grandson of his old lord?
