Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 185 The Forgotten Important Corner

When Gou Xi heard Xia Qin's question, he immediately became serious and answered firmly: "My other words may have some flattery elements, but I have no doubt about Mu Shijun's ability to lead the army and fight. Otherwise, wouldn't I be waiting to die here?"

"You have quite good eyesight," Mo Ye glanced at him and expressed his approval of Gou Xi's attitude, "Gou Xi, you are not suitable for serving in the army. It just so happens that the former Jingzhou governor Wang Chenggu is short of manpower. You guys should follow him and obey his orders from now on."

"Wang Shijun?" Gou Xi's expression suddenly became ugly, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry and fear.

"What? Are you unhappy?" Mo Ye was a little surprised by Gou Xi's reaction. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Mu Shijun, Mo Shaoxia," Gou Xi said with a sullen look on his face, "To be honest, I was also present when the plan to attack the Jingzhou army was planned that day. I am afraid that Wang Shijun will misunderstand."

There was a hint of helplessness and uneasiness in his voice.

Mo Ye disagreed and still insisted on his own idea: "This is a different time. Besides, you are just an errand boy. It's not your fault. Wang Shijun is not such an unreasonable person."

Seeing Mo Ye's attitude, Gou Xi, who had no choice, was very helpless and could only respond: "Then, I will listen to the arrangements of Mu Shijun and Mo Shaoxia."

"Well, you go down first. Someone will take you to Wang Shijun later. You all should stay in Yangzhou for the time being. It's safer here."

After Gou Xi left, Xia Qin asked Mo Ye in confusion: "Why did you let this person follow Wang Chenggu? The two of them..."

Mo Ye took over what Xia Qin had not finished saying and said, "They are not trustworthy people. Don't worry, they will help us complete the final task in the future."

Xia Qin was still a little confused after hearing this, but she didn't ask any more questions. After all, she knew that Mo Ye had his own plans.

However, Mo Ye suddenly smiled. He said to Xia Qin with a wicked smile, "Didn't you just say that these are things you don't like and are not worth talking about."

Xia Qin was a little angry when she heard this. She turned her face away and said with a pout, "We agreed that there would be no secrets, but you are being so secretive again!"

"It's nothing, really. I just want them to gather like-minded people together."

Xia Qin rolled her eyes at Mo Ye, then said helplessly, "It really isn't a good thing."

"Ah, you have a miserable life!" In the quiet Mu Mansion in Yangzhou, the second wife looked at Mu Jinqi and sighed. She sat beside Mu Jinqi's bed with a sad face.

Mu Jinqi didn't look at the Second Madam, but shook her head helplessly: "Mother, don't complain in front of Shaokang every day. He is still young and can't stand hearing these."

As she spoke, she gently patted her son who was sleeping in bed, her eyes full of maternal love.

"Besides, most of the sisters in the palace were executed. Compared to them, how could my daughter have such a miserable life?"

The Second Madam didn't think so. She looked at her daughter distressedly, tears streaming down her face. "Jinqi, your father and brother have always loved Jinyan more. Mother always thought that after you came to the palace and gave birth to a prince, in the future..."

Mu Jinqi interrupted her mother, her tone clearly showing some weariness: "Mom, that's enough! My elder brother, sister, and brother Yunchen are fighting the enemy on the battlefield. My father went to Uncle Su's house early in the morning and I'm afraid he will go to the battlefield again soon. We can't help you here... You..."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about my own people, but Gao Ruotong can talk about it, right? Everyone knows that Jin Yan and Yun Chen want to make him the emperor," the second wife continued to chatter, "What about you and Shao Kang? You are in this corner of the Mu Mansion and no one cares about you. What are you going to do in the future? Shao Kang is the prince!"

Mu Jinqi looked at her mother, and began to show some dissatisfaction in her eyes: "Mother, do you mean to let Shaokang, who is less than one year old, be involved in the fight for the throne?"

"Why not? Others may not know, but your father and we know it well. In this Jingyang area, everything is decided by Jin Yan and Yun Chen. As long as they are willing to let Shao Kang become the emperor, Shao Kang can become the emperor. Then you will be the empress dowager, and the status of the Mu family will be secure!"

"Is it more secure than the Qin family's position?"

"...Qin family?"

Mu Jinqi's question left the second wife speechless for a moment.

Mu Jinqi looked at her son who was still sleeping soundly and said softly, "Shaokang will grow up healthily, and he will not become an emperor. Mother, Shaokang and I both need to rest. Go and see if Daddy is back."

The second wife hummed a few words in disappointment and left Mu Jinqi's room reluctantly.

As soon as she arrived in the yard, she saw Wang Chenggu coming to visit.

"Lord Wang, why are you here?" The second lady had a smile on her face and her tone was friendly.
