Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Leng Sa is indeed very interested in the affairs of Qu Jing and Ren Nanyan, but Ren Nanyan is dead and Qu Jing is now only a prisoner, so this kind of interest is just human gossip, it doesn't matter if Qu Jing is willing to say it or not.

When Qu Jing really said it, it's actually not that complicated.

The discrepancy between what Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng guessed before is not too big, Qu Jing is indeed the orphan of Ren Nanyan's elder brother. But he was not the eldest grandson of the family, but the son of Qu Jing's elder brother raised outside, so he was not surnamed Ren since he was a child.

When the Ren family was still there, although Qu Jing's biological father didn't care much about their mother and son, he would still give them some daily expenses. After Ren Nanyan killed his father and brother, he didn't know that his elder brother had a son outside, so the mother and son lived together. Living expenses were cut off.

Qu Jing's biological mother was a weak and timid woman. Outsiders had rumored that Ren Nanyan killed her father and brother. How could she dare to ask the Ren family for living expenses? I could only take Qu Jing to live a difficult life by myself, and died of depression within two years.

At that time, Qu Jing, who was just in his early tenth year, hated Ren Nanyan. Although he had no feelings for his biological father, he also knew that if Ren Nanyan hadn't killed his father, their mother and child, their life would not be so sad, and his mother would not have died early.

But it's no use hating him as a child, he has no contact with Ren Nanyan at all. In those few years, Qujing had a very difficult life. A child struggled to survive at the bottom of a place like the capital. Even so, he still relied on his own efforts to read and write, and finally found an opportunity to appear in front of Ren Nanyan.

In the beginning, Qu Jing approached Ren Nanyan with the intention of revenge. He never thought that he would be so easily spotted by Ren Nanyan and gained his trust. Soon Ren Nanyan accepted him as a disciple and taught him carefully. People around thought it was because Ren Nanyan's most valued son took his mother and sister away and abandoned him. Ren Nanyan seemed to be cursed, although he had a son who was born with a disability, so seeing a bright and self-improving young man like Qu Jing, he fell in love with him. heart of.

Since then, Qu Jing has been by Ren Nanyan's side, and Ren Nanyan has indeed treated him very well and taught him everything.

Sometimes, when you are far away from a person, you will hate him, but when you get to know a person deeply, it is inevitable that there will be more things other than hatred.

Qu Jing himself didn't have deep feelings for his biological parents. The reason why he hated Ren Nanyan was not so much for his parents but more because Ren Nanyan ruined his life.

But Ren Nanyan was the best person to him. Ren Nanyan was not only a qualified teacher, but also filled Qu Jing's longing for the identity of his father since he was a child. At first he didn't have the chance to attack Ren Nanyan, but later he couldn't bear to attack, and in the end he had completely abandoned this idea.

Instead, she told herself that Ren Nanyan regarded him as his successor, so everything about Ren Nanyan would belong to him in the future, so why did he kill Ren Nanyan? When Ren Nanyan was about to die, he would tell him the truth after he got everything he had. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to kill his useless son in front of him?

So with such complicated feelings, the teacher and student have lived in harmony for nearly twenty years.

Qu Jing always thought that Ren Nanyan didn't know his identity, but now it seems...Ren Nanyan clearly knew his identity a long time ago. This is obviously the most difficult thing for Qu Jing to accept. If Ren Nanyan is still alive, he must ask him, why not expose him? Did he treat himself as a joke all these years?

It's a pity... Ren Nanyan is dead. No one can know what he has been thinking all these years.

Coming out of the courtyard where Qu Jing lived temporarily, Leng Sa's mood was a bit complicated.

A person like Ren Nanyan was able to kill his father and brother for his own future, and finally separated his wife and children from his family. But he was able to keep his elder brother's orphan by his side for nearly twenty years, nurturing him carefully. Did Ren Nanyan know at first that Qu Jing approached him with hatred? Leng Sa felt that he should know. It is not easy for a young man who is less than twenty years old and has no formal training to deceive someone like Ren Nanyan.

But it was just because I knew it that it was even more strange.

After thinking all the way, she didn't come up with any results, so Leng Sa could only shake her head and put these things behind her. It can only be said that humans are indeed the most complicated animals in the world.

With the Cao and Sun families as examples, the wealthy businessmen in Jiazhou City quickly understood the correct posture to show favor to the Fu family, and the efficiency of the entire Jiazhou reconstruction and disaster relief has also been greatly improved.

Soon all the railways in Jiazhou were repaired, materials from other places could be transported in unimpeded, and food and commodity prices began to fall.

"Sister-in-law!" Fu Yucheng walked into the study quickly and saw Leng Sa sitting behind the desk playing with a gun, he couldn't help but pause and stood at the door.

Leng Sa calmly put the gun back into the drawer and asked, "What's the matter?"

Only then did Fu Yucheng remember the business, he walked in quickly and sent a telegram to Leng Sa, "I just received news from the Northwest that Dayin has added 300,000 troops to the border. The Northwest Army is in urgent need, and Sun Liang and the Western Regions The small countries united to attack the northwest, and Song Governor's army may not last much time to stop the front line of Tianhu City. Song Shao can't escape, and asks for support from the six southern provinces."

Leng Sa couldn't help but want to greet Sun Liang's eighth-generation ancestors when he heard the words. Let Song Lang say the words asking for support, which shows that the situation is indeed quite troublesome.

Leng Sa took a deep breath and said, "General Song and Young Master Jiang please come over."

Fu Yucheng nodded without saying anything, turned around and left, Leng Sa couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room, "Did Lou Lanzhou and Long Yue form a group to travel? Why haven't they arrived yet? , do you want Lord Leng to lead the troops himself?" She doesn't know how to fight.

Lou Lanzhou and Long Yue did go on a group tour. After they arrived in Jiazhou, they didn't go directly to Jiazhou City, but went to visit several severely affected places in Jiazhou.

The situation is much better than they expected. Although the flood caused heavy casualties and various losses, at least the people everywhere are still stable. Under the guidance of the authorities, they are working hard to participate in rebuilding their homes, and there are few cases of displacement.

They even saw many doctors from the six southern provinces doing free consultations to help sick or injured people.

When they arrived in Jiazhou City, they saw that life in the city seemed to have resumed. Except that many places need to be rebuilt, the life of the people in the city is almost the same as before.

"Brother Long Yue, it seems that we were worrying too much earlier, Mrs. Fu doesn't need our help at all." Lou Lanzhou smiled and seemed in a very good mood. Originally, they thought they would face a starving Jiazhou, but they didn't expect the situation to be many times better than what they had imagined.

Long Yue nodded and said, "The Fu family is very considerate." Even if they come in person, it may not be much better than now.

Lou Lanzhou smiled and said, "Shall we go to the Governor's Mansion now?"

"go."

In the study of Jiazhou Governor's Mansion, Leng Sa handed over the telegram just received to Song Boang. Song Boang also looked a little dignified, "Those people are determined to seize the Northwest this time."

It's not that the Song family hasn't fought in recent years, whether it's with Dayin or those small countries, they have fought countless times. But no matter that time, it was not as fierce as this time, as if he would not give up until he swallowed the northwest.

Song Boyang said, "Young madam, we may not be able to resist this matter in the six southern provinces alone, and we have to ask the military governor to make a decision."

Leng Sa also sighed, and said: "I have already sent the news back to Yongcheng, and the governor should have received the news by now." The six southern provinces really couldn't resist this matter, not that the Fu family If you join hands with the Song family, you will definitely not be able to defeat the Dayin people, provided that no one hinders you.

If the Fu family and the Song family tried their best to defeat the enemy army and were finally taken advantage of or even stabbed in the back, that would be a strange injustice through the ages.

"Anyway, send an order to the whole army to prepare. We still have to wait for the governor's intentions, but before that... send a letter to Chang City in my name, telling them to leave immediately, otherwise don't blame the Fu family You're welcome!" Whether it's sending troops to support the Northwest or transporting supplies, the line must be opened first.

Before I was in a hurry, Leng Sa planned to wait for Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou to come, and by the way, give the people below a little time for training. Who knew that these two men were so unreliable, walking for so many days from the capital and the four northern provinces to Jiazhou?

She suspected that the two were snatched by some mountain queen to be the masters of the village.

Song Boang hesitated for a moment and said, "Will this be too...or should I lead my troops to sweep those horse thieves?"

Leng Sa waved his hands and said, "Be polite first and then soldiers. Besides... those horse thieves must have an eyeliner near Jiazhou. If they run away early when they are dispatched by a large force, it will be troublesome to come back to harass them from time to time. If you want to do something, just cut the weeds at once."

"Young Madam, what do you mean?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Send the letter in my name, and they won't run away." Sending the letter in Song Boang's name, those people may really restrain themselves for a while to avoid their edge.

The folk customs in the northwest are tough, and these horse thieves are even tougher than tough. They look down on women by nature. The wording of Leng Sa's letter was so rude, they would just take it as a joke and even want to provoke Leng Sa.

Leng Sa smiled authentically, "Please also ask General Song to guard Jiazhou City, and I will go to Chang City."

Song Boang said, "Young Madam's subordinates may not be enough, I will order another 3,000 people to accompany Young Madam." Those horse thieves will not exceed 2,000 in total.

Leng Sa shook her head and said, "General Zhang is closer to Chang City, and it will be fine to ask him to help with the aftermath."

Song Boang thought for a while, "It's fine, young lady, be careful." He believed in Fu young lady's skills, but after all, no one can say what accidents will happen if the battlefield is dangerous.

"Do not worry."

"Young Madam, there are two gentlemen asking to see you outside the door." The guard knocked on the door to report.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows and said, "You two? Who are they?" Have the two uncles finally come?

"It is said to be the young lady's friend. She still looks very young, and she is very imposing." The guard said.

Leng Sa smiled, "Please come in."

"Yes."

Song Boang was a little surprised, "Young Madam, this is..."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I told General Song earlier, the helper is here."

It's no wonder that the guards outside the door didn't recognize these two. Lou Lanzhou and Long Yue didn't bring anyone with them, didn't wear uniforms, and didn't report their families.

Lou Lanzhou was wearing a light gray gown, looking like a gentle scholar. Wearing a suit, Long Yue described it as stern and aggressive, but he looked like an elite who returned from overseas.

When the two entered the study, even Song Boang and Jiang Yu were startled.

"Master Lou? Master Long?!"

Lou Lanzhou nodded and said with a smile, "General Song, last year the other generals were even better than before."

Song Boang turned his head to look at Leng Sa, Leng Sa raised his hand and said, "Don't look at me, General Song, these two were invited by your family."

Lou Lanzhou smiled and said, "Young Madam, don't come here without any problems."

Leng Sa said, "If you come later, I will be ill."

Lou Lanzhou was a little embarrassed, it was indeed that they went around in circles and wasted time.

Long Yue asked directly, "What happened?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "The two of you have just arrived in Jiazhou, so maybe you haven't received any news yet, let's sit down and talk."

Everyone sat down and told what happened before, and the expressions of Lou Lanzhou and Long Yue also became dignified.

"There are few dangerous barriers in the Northwest to defend against the enemy. Once hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses really press down on the border, the Northwest Army may really be unable to stop it under the pressure of a flat river." Long Yue said in a deep voice.

Lou Lanzhou also frowned slightly, "That's right, especially on the side of Governor Song. Once Tianhu City falls, Sun Liang's allied forces can go straight to the northwest capital within two days. At that time, Brother Song will be flanked by Sun Liang and Dayin. I am afraid that no matter how strong the Northwest Army is, it will be difficult to support it."

Leng Sa said, "Song Dujun has a great reputation, blocking Sun Liang shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Long Yue shook his head and said, "Tianhu City is not a good defensive place, but it is the only barrier facing the southwest of the northwest capital. These years, the Sun family did not dare to provoke the Song family because the Song family's cavalry was unstoppable across the northwest. Every time Sun Liang tried to test him out, he was beaten so hard that he had to retreat into the southwest mountains. But...the cavalry were good at attacking but not good at defending, and the Northwest Army is currently short of food and weapons, and its strength is not as strong as Sun Liang's coalition army. The situation is probably not good. So optimistic."

Leng Sa was silent for a moment and said, "It is not easy to complete the reorganization of the Jiazhou Army in a short period of time. Even if it is completed and the Fifth Army is added, the entire Jiazhou will have no more than 120,000 troops on the battlefield." These troops In fact, at least 70,000 to 80,000 people are needed to garrison all parts of Jiazhou, and they can deploy no more than 50,000 people. This number of people is not enough to grind their teeth on the battlefield.

Moreover, in the high cold of the northwest, it is hard to say how many outsiders were able to go to the battlefield immediately in the past.

Lou Lanzhou sighed, "Mrs. Fu is right. If Dayin really wants to go to war with the Northwest, it's just that the Song family and the Fu family can't resist. We still have to wait for the opinions of the military department and the two warlords."

Long Yue said, "I will report this matter to my father." After pondering for a moment, Long Yue looked at Leng Sa and asked, "What did Fu Fengcheng do?"

Leng Sa blinked, "Master Long and Master Lou don't know?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the study, Leng Sa was speechless, "I don't know what he did, why did you agree to come to Jiazhou?"

"..." This is really a good question.
