After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 74 Tell the truth
The eyes of the person beside the bed moved slightly, but finally told the truth: "I went back to Beijing to find General Lu."

General Lu?
What does Yan Ming want to do with General Lu?
This General Lu was a veteran of the dynasty. He made great contributions to the Holy Emperor's campaign to conquer the country. He quickly handed over military power after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Holy Emperor was suspected of being seriously ill. The former ministers died and were demoted. General Lu He is one of the few military commanders still alive.

The other military commander is now the Champion. After the eldest princess got married, the Champion also became a royal vassal.

Logically speaking, there is nothing to do with a senior general like General Lu who has no military rank, and a powerful official like Yan Ming.

However, after the case of deposing the crown prince, the tiger talisman of Marquis Wu An was confiscated, and the Holy Emperor specially handed over the tiger talisman to General Lu.

He has seniority and has never offended anyone. He is the most suitable administrator of the Tiger Talisman.

"What are you doing with him?"

Ke Yiqing wondered, could it be that Yan Ming wanted to rebel?

But she quickly gave up this theory. If he could have planned this in the previous life, he would not be manipulated by Chu Yun.

There was something in her mind, "Do you want to go to Jingnan to suppress bandits?"

"Yiqing is so smart." Yan Ming kissed her with a smile.

Ke Yiqing couldn't avoid him and could only push him away, "Then why are you looking for me?"

"I led troops to suppress bandits, but I don't have enough food and grass. I want to borrow some from you."

"How much to borrow?"

He compared the numbers.

"no!"

Yan Mingqi stepped forward and said, "Why not? You do have this number in your grain depot."

This bitch even knows how much food there is in the granary. She lowered her eyes to cover up the strangeness in it, "It is true that this number is true, but if I lend it all to you, I'm afraid Shengjing won't be able to sustain it."

In the entire Shengjing, the only one that can stably produce food now is Deji Hall.

If Yan Ming failed to suppress the bandits, Shengjing would also become a hell on earth like that outside the city.

He turned around, knowing in his heart that this was too risky, but he couldn't wait any longer. There were still people in the palace waiting for him to save.

"I will not fail, I will only succeed." Must succeed too.

"Although it is imperative to suppress the bandits in Jingnan, Mr. Yan is really confident." Ke Yiqing twitched the corners of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

In his previous life, Yan Ming also went on an expedition at this time. He was short of food and medicine, and fought fiercely with the bandits for three months. In addition, the fire poison was not cleared away. Although the bandits were successfully suppressed, he was almost a useless person when he came back.

He has gone on expeditions under such conditions, and this time will be no exception.

Both expeditions were for Chu Yun.

She couldn't describe what she felt in her heart. She just felt that the room with the charcoal fire was frighteningly cold, and her originally warm heart felt like a pool of stagnant water.

"You have saved me many times, and Li Wei and the others also want to thank you, but when it comes to business, what do you think, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Ming turned his head, but did not dare to look into her eyes, "What do you want?"

"Two conditions."

"You mention it."

Ke Yiqing closed his eyes and forced himself to push back those weak tears, "First, I can't give you so much, two-thirds at most, but if I give you food, the 20 taels I owed you before will be written off in one go."

"can."

She hummed and laughed, this man agreed readily.

"Second, I want half of the food I got after suppressing the bandits."

Yan Ming frowned, "Those are official rations."

"So what about the official rations? It's better if it falls into my hands than into Chu Yun's hands."

"You know it all?"

She turned away her face impatiently, "Yan Ming, I'm not a fool." Looking at Ke Yiqing's soft side face, he was filled with sadness. He wanted to explain but couldn't. In the end, he could only sigh: "Yiqing , Yun'er has sacrificed too much for me, I can't ignore her."

When his whole house was confiscated, it was Chu Yun who pulled him out of his confusion. It was Chu Yun who would rather betray the family to be with him. It was Chu Yun who, in order to keep him alive, went into the deep palace of eating people without even seeing their bones. .

Now that Chu Yun was surrounded by the Queen's forces and his life was in danger, he could only resort to dangerous tactics. As long as he succeeded in suppressing the bandits and resolved the crisis in Da Qi, the Queen would not dare to touch her.

Even Chu Yun could gain enlightenment through this and be promoted to the position of noble concubine.

"Yan Ming, I don't care what you owe her. What should she pay back to me?"

"I……"

Ke Yiqing waved his hand, not wanting to say more, "The second condition, yes or no?"

"Row."

In his last life, his expedition lasted three months, but she couldn't wait, and neither could the people of Shengjing.

After much deliberation, Ke Yiqing gave him the prescription to treat the cold epidemic and asked Yu Jin to bring him some medicine that had been used to prevent the cold epidemic.

"what is this?"

"Take it and put it away. Remember to be careful on weekdays. If you find a soldier with stiff limbs and a yellow complexion, have someone prepare the medicine and drink it."

He is good at leading troops in war, but he is not proficient in pharmacology.

Yan Ming subconsciously thought that Ke Yiqing was talking about ordinary typhoid fever, but by some strange coincidence, he reached out and took the prescription.

"Two months at most, any more than that and I won't be willing to fight."

"A month and a half, no longer."

He didn't say yes or no to such a harsh request. He only promised that he would never let her down.

After talking about business, the two of them looked at each other in silence. In the end, Yan Ming couldn't hold it in anymore, "Yiqing, this time I entered the palace, I have already expressed my feelings to Yun'er. I only like you."

"I can't bear Master Yan's affection, so I'd better give it to someone I'm destined for."

"I didn't know my own feelings before and mistook teenage attachment for admiration, but recently I..."

He thought he spoke with deep affection, "When I saw you talking to Yu Changsheng, and when I saw you smiling at him, you smiled so beautifully, but you haven't smiled at me for a long time, I really..."

Yan Ming didn't finish what he said later because he saw Ke Yiqing's face full of disgust.

"Do you think I will believe it?" She laughed mockingly, "Master Yan accepted me and then Ruan Lingling, isn't it all because we look like Chu Yun?"

"Yan Ming, you really make me sick."

Similarly, Ke Yiqing is also very disgusted with herself for being nostalgic for such a person and such an unbearable relationship.

Liu Ruyi waited outside for a long time, and just when he was about to lose his temper from boredom, he came out.

"What's wrong? Doesn't she agree?"

"No, she agreed."

He scratched his head, very puzzled, "Then why do you look like you are mourning your heir?"

Yan Ming smiled uglier than crying, "Really?"

"Yeah, do you want to look in the mirror?"

He walked in front, followed closely by Liu Ruyi, "The prime minister doesn't know about this yet. If you ask me, it's not too late for us to stop now. There is no movement in the court yet."

"We must go out this time."

"Even with the Queen Mother's decree, I'm afraid you will still be punished if you win!"

The pace of the person in front of him never stopped. Liu Ruyi lamented about being an enemy and had no choice but to follow quickly.
