Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 723 The coachman is gone?

The subordinates quickly changed their clothes and came out. Lu Baichuan told the others, and then rode with his subordinates to the city gate to wait.

Although it was still early for his wife and son to arrive, it did not prevent him from coming over first to keep watch.

We didn't wait in vain when we came here. We took our subordinates to inspect the city gate. Then everyone knew that He Jiuniang was coming to the capital, and the general came to pick her up in person. What a big show!
Of course, Lu Baichuan didn't just show off his wife. He also asked about the recent situation, and sure enough, he made new discoveries.

Recently, many suspicious-looking people have appeared at the gate of the city. Most of them are in a hurry, don't speak much, and speak with foreign accents when they speak. They are not from Beiyan.

But the documents they produced all proved that they were from Beiyan, so it was inconvenient for the officers and soldiers guarding the city to conduct a strict investigation.

A strict investigation will cause chaos, affect people's normal lives, and even alert others.

However, not being able to strictly investigate does not mean that we just let them go. The general guarding the city said: "General, don't worry, I have been keeping an eye on them because of my humble position, and found that they were just moving around in the city, and there was no other bad behavior."

"If nothing else, they should all be from Dongting. Keep an eye on them and report any abnormalities."

Lu Baichuan is not directly in charge of Dongting's affairs now, but as the person who initially came into contact with this matter, it is still necessary to pay attention to the subsequent development.

The third prince of Dongting was still in Bei Yan's cell. Although Beiyan sent envoys out, Dongting still kept making small moves. It seemed that he wanted to rob the prison.

In fact, Lu Baichuan could also understand the other party's thoughts. If Bei Yan's envoys went there, the third prince would become a hostage. Bei Yan could make demands and make some overlord terms. After all, the third prince's life was still Quite valuable.

What's more, the dirty things Dongting did before made the people of Beiyan suffer so much. If you don't want more, Beiyan will look weak and incompetent. Even if you are bullied to the point of being bullied, you don't dare to be tough.

"Yes!"

The general immediately stood up straight, responded confidently, and then explained the matter in detail so that Lu Baichuan could understand it more clearly.

After listening, Lu Baichuan felt that the people in Dongting might not be able to hold it any longer. If nothing else happened, they would take action within a month or two. After all, the envoys sent out were about to arrive in Dongting.

The next period of time will be spent in a bloody storm, and I will go to the prince tomorrow to discuss the plan.

Thinking of this, he said to his subordinates: "I won't be going back to the military camp these days. You can take some people to watch and don't slack off in training."

The look in the subordinate's eyes changed when he looked at him, and he said in a mean tone: "General, I don't like this. My wife is not just here for a day or two. Why are you in a hurry?"

"Go away, I have business to attend to!"

Lu Baichuan kicked him with a smile, not really angry.

But his subordinates didn't believe it either. After all, he told them every day how nice his wife was and how much he liked her. It took a lot of effort to meet her, but why shouldn't the fire be kept burning for three days and three nights?

So he laughed even harder, boldly patted Lu Baichuan on the shoulder and said, "I understand, I understand!"

Lu Baichuan didn't bother to explain to him and glanced at him without saying anything.

"Hey, here it comes, is it that carriage?"

In the distance, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, but because there was no oil lamp on the carriage, it was difficult to see clearly. I could only barely see a shadow coming towards this direction quickly through the moonlight.

Several people were standing on the tower and could see further. Lu Baichuan took a look and saw that it was indeed his wife who was driving the car. He turned around and went downstairs to greet her.

The generals and subordinates guarding the city gate also followed. Especially the subordinates, the anticipation in their hearts filled their throats.The carriage was still some distance from the city gate. After Lu Baichuan went downstairs, he stood at the door for a while before the carriage came.

Lu Baichuan hurriedly greeted him, greeted him with greetings, then took the reins and led the horse over in person.

The subordinates were stunned to see that their general had such a tender scene. No, how could the general be so kind to the woman driving the carriage? Could it be...

"Hey! Is that Madam? Why are you driving the car by yourself?"

The subordinates immediately became anxious. Generally speaking, these ladies travel in several cars, carrying luggage and having people to wait on them, not to mention the coachman who drives the carriage. Why doesn't his sister-in-law even have a servant by her side? Bring or even drive yourself?

Could it be that something happened on the road and the coachman disappeared?
At this time, he no longer had any thoughts of gossip, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Mrs. Sister-in-law came here alone, but something happened on the way. I will take people to investigate!"

When He Jiuniang heard this, she smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just went out without anyone. Thank you for your concern."

The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and then continued to be surprised how could He Jiuniang be so brave. After such a long journey, she, a woman, with a child, drove her own car to the capital of the country to find her husband?

Sure enough, it was not unreasonable for the general to praise her. If it were any other woman, let alone driving a car, she would be scared to tears even if she was walking at night, right?
However, when I calmed down now, I realized that my wife is really good-looking. She is clearly wearing a plain face, and her hair is randomly pulled into a bun, fixed with a very ordinary wooden hairpin, but it gives people the feeling of a fairy descending to earth. a feeling of.

The subordinates were immediately dumbfounded. No wonder the general praised his wife so much that he never thought about going out to show off. It turns out that his wife is so beautiful!

Not to mention the deeds of those sisters-in-law that the general told, what a wonderful woman!

Seeing this man looking at her in a daze, He Jiuniang raised her eyebrows at Lu Baichuan: "Why don't you introduce me?"

When Lu Baichuan saw this, he slapped the man back to reality, and then said: "Chen Bin, you are my general."

He can be regarded as a small leader, but his position is not very high.

"Hey, hello, Mrs. Sister-in-law! I apologize for the offence. The main reason is that our general praises Mrs. Sister-in-law in front of us every day. We still don't believe it. Now that we have seen her, we feel that our general is not lying!"

He Jiuniang glanced at Lu Baichuan meaningfully, smiled at Chen Bin and said, "Really? When you have the chance, tell me how he praised me? It's late today. I'll invite you to dinner at home some other time and we'll talk more slowly." !”

"No problem! We can say whatever Madam-in-law wants to hear, hahaha!"

Chen Bin also had a cheerful temperament and didn't say anything to refuse.

"Since you have received Madam-in-law, the general and subordinates will go back first."

It's so late at night, but I have to get up early tomorrow morning to train.

Lu Baichuan agreed, then said a few words to the general guarding the city, and then drove to his mansion in person.

He Jiuniang did not go in to look for her son. She sat outside with Lu Baichuan, holding one of his arms and resting her head on his shoulder, feeling calmer than ever before.

"Do you miss me?"

"Need me to prove it?"
