Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli arrived in Qinyang late at night on the second day, exactly as she had predicted.

Miao Yucui and Nangong Ji were terrified.

"Shouldn't you arrive tomorrow? You've traveled all night again!" Miao Yucui looked at her two little girls with great heartache.

“Li’er has lost weight! Ali is alright, but her complexion is really not good.”

However, Miao Yucui also knew that the situation was urgent and they were not deliberately making things difficult for themselves.

It was truly a last resort.

Xiao He and Mo Wang were in trouble, and the two were extremely anxious and unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

She was still somewhat surprised to see Tuoba Liuli here: "Ali, have you really agreed to let Li'er go to Nanmeng as well?"

“Even you, me, and my third aunt have left. If we try to keep my sister-in-law here this time, she might just run off to Southern Mongolia to find us. If we can’t contact each other then, it’ll be easier to lose sight of one thing and cause problems.”

So when Chu Yueli saw Tuoba Liuli waiting for her with her troops outside the city, she immediately decided to bring them along.

If I don't bring it, it will be even more troublesome if it comes by itself.

Bringing them along means more people and more strength, which may not be a bad thing.

"You never told me that you were determined to come." Miao Yucui looked at Tuoba Liuli with a hint of reproach.

Southern Mongolia was a battlefield of life and death, and she, a princess, a golden branch and jade leaf, had never suffered the hardships of marching and fighting.

I don't know if I can make it through.

“I know that if I tell my second aunt, you will definitely not agree, but now that I am here, my second aunt will not send me back.”

While acting first and informing later is not a good thing, sometimes it is absolutely necessary.

Miao Yucui simply sighed.

She had just arrived in Qinyang, arriving shortly after Huo Qing.

The war in southern Mongolia is escalating, and the situation is indeed urgent; this is the only option.

"Take a rest. It must have been a long and arduous journey." Miao Yucui had hot soup prepared for them and told them to have a bowl of hot soup first.

Although it is now after the New Year and springtime, the days are still relatively warm, but the nights are still quite chilly.

Chu Yueli didn't stand on ceremony. After drinking hot soup with Tuoba Liuli and Zisu, she rested for a while.

These feet, this body, are indeed tired.

Miao Yucui took some time to tell Chu Yueli about what was happening in the military camp.

“Some time ago, we incorporated some new troops. Qing’er originally planned to come over after the New Year to personally supervise the training, but unexpectedly, news came from Nanmeng not long after.”

Therefore, the training of new recruits has only just begun, and many things have not yet been perfected.

"Ali, what do you think? Should we take these 20,000 new recruits to Southern Mongolia?" Miao Yucui asked.

Tuoba Liuli dared not speak, but sat quietly to the side and listened, also taking the opportunity to learn the art of leading troops.

She doesn't understand anything yet and needs to learn everything. If she doesn't improve herself, how will she be able to assist her husband on the battlefield in the future?

Chu Yueli thought for a moment and said, "Did Third Aunt say how qualified these new recruits are?"

"They were all personally selected by your third aunt before the New Year. They all have good martial arts skills, but their character and other aspects cannot be judged at present. It will take time."

"With such a large military camp and so many new recruits, how can one easily understand a person's character and other aspects?"

Let alone new recruits, even veterans can tell at a glance who has good character and who has bad character.

It will take time.

"Have Third Aunt ask them, and bring along anyone who volunteers to go on the expedition."
