Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

"Now that we have won the victory on the border and the barbarians have sent envoys, the next step is to discuss peace and compensation. Is there any movement in the capital?" Wang Ruiyan asked hurriedly.

Zuo Zheng stopped chattering and looked at Zhao Xu silently.

Zhao Xu just shook his head. "At least there's nothing serious going on right now, and Minister Wang is still in the palace."

"Is that so..." Wang Ruiyan said.

Li Mofu raised his hand and asked, "Now that the war is over, when will Wu'an Hou return? Will he return only after the emperor has negotiated with the barbarian envoys?"

"Yes, otherwise I'm afraid the other party is cheating." Zuo Zheng said.

"It will probably take several months to discuss back and forth. Marquis Wu'an can't come back so soon." Zhao Xu said.

Li Mofu curled his lips and fell into silence like Wang Ruiyan.

"Let's postpone the plan of returning to the capital. I feel there will be more movement in the capital soon. It won't be too late to discuss it then." Zhao Xu said while looking at Wang Ruiyan. He was afraid that Wang Ruiyan would have a psychological burden and was also afraid that Wang Ruiyan would act secretly alone.

Wang Ruiyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know."

The four of them then talked about some details of the war that they had heard. Li Mofu could see that Zuo Zheng was very excited about the fact that Lu Mingyun was able to chop off the head of the enemy leader, and could even be said to be ecstatic.

Even Zhao Xu had some of this feeling. He gave people the feeling of being very proud, as if it was done by his own son...

However, this also indirectly shows the success of Lu Mingyun's military leadership this time. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to get a title and rewards, provided that the new emperor is normal.

The four of them chatted for the entire afternoon, talking about all these things. Sometimes Zuo Zheng got so excited that he wanted to drink!

However, after dinner they were called away, apparently for a party in a restaurant.

Wang Ruiyan had a baby to look after, so she chatted with Li Mofu for a few more words before leaving. After everyone left, Li Mofu didn't stay long, but took Guozi and Mo Yi back to the house to talk privately.

Three days later, just as Zhao Xu expected, there was movement in the capital, but Li Mofu did not quite understand the significance of the new emperor's actions.

After the victory in the Northwest War, the barbarians sent ten envoys to the capital to discuss post-war peace terms, but the new emperor only allowed one soldier from the Northwest Army to return to the capital as a representative.

Moreover, this soldier was neither Marquis Wu'an nor a brother of the Lu family.

It is normal that Marquis Wu'an did not order him to come back to guard the northwest, but one of the Lu brothers must come back. After all, it is not necessary for only one representative to come back.

But the new emperor only allowed one other soldier to come back. After all, the new emperor was still afraid that the Lu family would meet Wang Ruiyan too early, and he was also afraid that the Lu family would fall out with him at this time.

He just wanted to delay time as long as possible.

Because of this problem, the four of them got together and talked for a while, but the conclusions they came to were strange.

However, not long after, one morning two days later, news came from the border again. This time, a war broke out in the northeastern border.

This news really caught everyone off guard, especially after the victory in the Northwest War, everyone was immersed in joy and no one expected that war would break out in the Northeast.

Before this, the Northeast Army and the Jiang people had been in a stalemate for a year. Although there had been conflicts of varying degrees, the two sides had never officially started a war.

Now that the war in the northwest has been won, the Jiang people who allied with the barbarians should have retreated. Why would they suddenly attack the Northeast Army at this time?

"This Jiang people's surprise attack was such a surprise. I heard that the Northeast Army suffered a lot of casualties! How despicable!" Zuo Zheng said angrily, and pounded the table very hard.

"Warfare is ever-changing, and we can't be careless." Zhao Xu sighed.

"...Still fighting? We've been fighting for a year. If we continue fighting, how can the granary hold up?" Li Mofu said irritably with a pout.
