Rebirth: Crazy criticism of beauties who love to act stupid

Chapter 69 Passing by
"Master Tai?"

Lu Manman was startled subconsciously. The sudden appearance of Master Ci'an made Lu Manman think that Master Ci'an was Yan Dongze's person to meet her.

However, when I thought about it later, I realized it was impossible.

Because Lu Manman grew up next to Master Ci'an, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Master Ci'an was the adoptive mother of Lu Manman's original owner.

Master Ci'an treated the original owner very well, there is absolutely no way she could be Yan Dongze's person! ! !

"Miss Lu Er, how are you doing back home?"

Ciyun Nunnery is far away from the capital, but Master Ci'an still often hears news about Lu Manman among the people who often pray on the mountain.

Why did Lee Min Pei make things difficult for her when she returned home?
What banquet accidentally fell into the water?
and also……

Li Minpei was ill in bed, and Lu Manman personally took care of her...

Every one of these things made Master Ci'an extremely distressed!

The girl she had held in her hands and protected since childhood had suffered so much...

"Master, don't worry, I'm fine, everything is fine!"

Lu Manman smiled slightly at Master Ci'an, his eyes showing an unprecedented tenderness.

"That's good! That's good!"

Master Ci'an now sees with her own eyes that Lu Manman is fine, and feels relieved in her heart.

"Miss Lu Er, the fasting meal is ready. Let me take you there!"

After a few simple chats, Master Ci'an took Lu Manman to the dining hall for dinner.

There, Lu Nanchang and others had already arrived, and to Lu Manman's surprise, there was Prince Xie Qian sitting next to Lu Nanchang!

"His Royal Highness!"

Seeing Xie Qian, Lu Manman had to salute, and then sat down to eat next to Chen Xue.

"Have you heard? The third prince was captured by the Nanman people!!!"

Several visitors sitting near Lu Manman were discussing loudly the hot topics in the capital these days while eating.

The sentence "Third Prince" immediately attracted Lu Manman's attention.

The third prince was arrested?
Didn't he say he went to the Beizhao border?
Lu Manman looked over curiously and saw that the people beside him were getting more excited as they talked.

"This third prince is really useless. The emperor sent his 30,000 troops to guard the border, but he went to assassinate the enemy guard by himself!"

"In the end, the person was not killed, but he was helped in!!!"

"Yes! I heard that he was captured alive in Huya Village before! He spent a lot of money to redeem him!!!"

"Hey! Let me tell you, the most capable person in our Beizhao today is His Royal Highness Prince Xie Qian!"

"........."

The people nearby were chatting, and the topic turned to Xie Qian. The more Lu Manman listened, the more something seemed wrong.

Could it be that these people were arranged by Xie Qian to deliberately slander Xie Si's reputation and promote himself?

Lu Manman gradually focused on Xie Qian, and Xie Qian seemed to notice Lu Manman's strange eyes.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he explained to Lu Manman.

"Manman, you don't know yet! Xie Si was arrested three days ago. This matter has long been spread in the capital. This morning, my father sent Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites, to the border to negotiate peace with the Nanman." "My father ?”

Chen Xue, who was originally not interested in this matter, immediately raised his head and looked at Xie Qian worriedly when he saw Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites.

"Don't worry, young lady, it's just a peace negotiation. Nothing will happen. Moreover, my father said that as long as the southern barbarians are willing to release their people, the 30,000-strong army can be withdrawn at any time!"

When Xie Si was arrested, it was not just him who was embarrassed, but the entire Beizhao!

The whole of Beizhao was embarrassed!
It’s just like they say, it’s good but useless! ! !
The emperor deliberately wanted Xie Si to take charge of the military power over and over again, but Xie Si himself screwed it up every time!

"The Southern Barbarians captured our prince, why can't we send troops? Don't they, the Southern Barbarians, always deliberately stir up trouble and want to start a war?"

Lu Manman looked at Xie Qian doubtfully. Lu Manman didn't understand what was going on in the court, but Beizhao had strong soldiers and horses, so he shouldn't be overwhelmed by the Nanman at every turn!

If it weren't for the repeated provocations of the Nanman, how could the emperor send Xie Si to the border to suppress them! ! !
Now that Xie Si has been arrested, the emperor's first thought is to negotiate peace?
"I'm afraid the second sister doesn't know about the second prince Xie Qi!"

At this time, Lu Haonan put down his bowls and chopsticks and naturally joined the topic.

"Second Prince?"

Lu Manman came to rescue him through time travel. He had only heard of a prince and a third prince. When did there be a second prince?

"Yes! Back then, the second prince was our God of War in Beizhao! When the second prince was here, the Nanman were not as arrogant as they are now!"

"It's a pity that the second prince was defeated three years ago because Zhang Chengfeng, the Minister of War, colluded with the Nanman and leaked important military information. The second prince was defeated and became a hostage from then on..."

Lu Manman, who was just gossiping, never thought that the Zhang family's case of collaborating with the enemy and exterminating the family would actually be related to the second prince Xie Qi!
For a moment, Lu Manman lost all thoughts of gossip and thought only about what happened that year...

The Zhang family colluded with the Southern Barbarians, resulting in the capture of the second prince on the front line. Later, Prime Minister Lu Nanchang reported it, and the emperor ordered the family to be exterminated...

and……

Yan Dongze...

Was he a participant in the collaboration with the enemy and a survivor of the massacre?
Everything seemed to make sense. No wonder Yan Dongze wanted to steal the palace deployment plan. He wanted to take Nanman's hand and help him avenge his family's destruction! ! !
"Second sister? Second sister? What's wrong with you?"

Lu Haonan was lamenting about the past of the second prince Xie Qi, but when he looked up, he saw that Lu Manman, who had started the topic, was in a daze for some reason.

"No! I'm fine. I was just frightened by the second prince's experience. I didn't expect that our second prince's life would be so miserable..."

Lu Manman was shouted at by Lu Haonan, and he immediately came back to his senses. He casually found an excuse to deal with it, then lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of food without saying a word.

But, how can Lu Manman be in the mood to eat now?

She was completely frightened by this fact!

Although on that day, Lu Manman had guessed that Yan Dongze wanted to rebel, but now that Nanman was involved, the matter was even more serious!
Lu Manman followed everyone to eat absent-mindedly. As for what Lu Haonan and Xie Qian were chatting about, she couldn't listen to a single sentence.

With a worried look on his face, he followed everyone quietly.

Until, until the group of them was about to leave, Lu Manman saw Mei Niang from Hehuang Pavilion...

Lu Manman's heart was shocked. This time when he met Mei Niang, Lu Manman was no longer as carefree as before, but instead became nervous unconsciously.

When Lu Manman saw Mei Niang getting closer and closer to her, Lu Manman felt that her own heartbeat was beating harder.

Just when Mei Niang was about to pass Lu Manman, Mei Niang suddenly bumped into Lu Manman inadvertently.

"oops--"

I saw Mei Niang carrying a wooden basket, and the apples in it fell to the floor...
