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

"The place where the Jiang and Barbarian people live is too cold and the winter is very long, which is not suitable for growing crops at all. Therefore, their people mainly survive by raising cattle and sheep, and they can only buy food." Zhao Xu explained.

"Over time, they began to yearn for their own farmland. Their land was cold and rugged, and villagers from border villages often extorted them, so conflicts gradually accumulated."

"Before the war, they would cause trouble in the border villages every year."

Li Mofu was embarrassed for a moment.

"Anyway, it's just that the conflict between the two sides has always existed. We have won the battle in the northwest this time, but it's impossible for the Jiang people to retreat without doing anything." Zuo Zheng said, shaking his head.

"Oh, this is troublesome. I didn't expect that war would break out again just after the victory." Wang Ruiyan said helplessly.

The topic of conversation quickly turned to the war in Northeast China and complaints. While listening to them, Li Mofu couldn't help but wonder, would the Second Prince die in this war in Northeast China?

Although the plot has deviated a lot now, he still can't help but speculate like this.

Two days later, news came from the capital that the new emperor had issued an order to mobilize troops. He wanted Lu Mingyun to lead his troops to the northeast to support the second prince.

Li Mofu was a little confused when he heard the news. Although Lu Mingyun's performance in this battle was outstanding, there were many soldiers in the army with better combat experience than him. Why did the new emperor let him lead the army to support?

After thinking about it, Li Mofu just felt that the new emperor was delaying the Lu family's return to Beijing.

"Oh." Li Mofu sighed while hugging Daju.

If only he could turn into a tiger, bite the new emperor to death and run away. As long as he was dead, they could return to the capital without any worries.

Perhaps it was because Li Mofu missed the new emperor too much these days, but instead of receiving the letter from Wang Ruiyan's mother, they received the new emperor's invitation to return to Beijing to celebrate the victory in the northwest.

That day, two or three eunuchs came to the Zhao Mansion. They had come all the way from the capital and seemed to have very high status. When they approached the Zhao Mansion, they straightened their backs and seemed to look people down with their chins.

Li Mofu was not a big shot, so he was not present during the meeting. He only knew that the other party came with an imperial edict.

The eunuch informed them that the new emperor had invited the people of Wu'an Marquisate to return to the capital to celebrate the victory in the northwest war. He also mentioned Zhao Xu's name and "hoped" that he would return to the capital to celebrate with them. After the celebration, he would grant Zhao Xu a fiefdom.

Simply put, the new emperor asked the people from Wu'an Marquis' Mansion to return to Beijing with Zhao Xu, and the departure time was three days later.

After hearing the news, the old lady didn't know whether she was really shocked or just pretending, she fell ill again, and Lu Nianhuan fell ill as well.

After waiting for two days, the old lady and Lu Nianhuan showed no signs of improvement, so Zhao Xu found the thin-voiced eunuch Li and told him about the matter.

Eunuch Li surprisingly did not make things difficult for him, but just told the rest of the people not to spoil His Majesty's fun again.

Having said that, is there anything you don’t understand?

However, it was just another disguised "invitation" to Wang Ruiyan to return to Beijing, but this time, Zhao Xu would also be dealt with as well.

"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble..." Wang Ruiyan said with a wry smile.

Zhao Xu didn't think anything of it. He just smiled and said, "No problem. I was planning to return to the capital with you. If Your Majesty imprisoned me as well, those ministers would definitely make Your Majesty restless. If Your Majesty really only wants to give me a fiefdom and a residence, then I will make more connections and try to get Your Majesty to release you."

"...Okay." Wang Ruiyan didn't say anything else, just nodded.

"What should we do here?" Li Mofu asked, stuffing a grape into his mouth.

"I'll stay here." Zuo Zheng said.

"That's fine, as long as there's someone guarding here." Li Mofu said.
