Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 350 Missing

In mid-June, Jingshu received a letter from Li Ling. In the letter, Li Ling informed Jingshu that he had captured three cities and that the remaining cities were easy to defend but difficult to attack and would take some time.

Naturally, Li Ling would not disclose the hardships of conquering cities and territories to his wife in his letters at home, but Jingshu could also imagine Li Ling's many hardships in fighting the enemy under the covert obstruction of the powerful princelings in the court. After capturing three cities in two months, Jing Shu felt excited and distressed at the same time, and the hand holding the letter couldn't stop shaking.

Although Brother Xuan was young, he was very sensible. He noticed his mother's strangeness, threw himself into Jingshu's arms, looked up at her and asked: "Mother, is this a letter from daddy? Is this a letter from daddy? What did Zhongdu write?”

Jingshu held her son on her lap and replied with a smile: "Dad told us in the letter that he won the battle and will be back to reunite with us soon."

Brother Xuan raised his hand to test the tears in Jingshu's eyes. With a worried look on his little face, he frowned and asked, "I saw mother's hands were shaking after reading the letter. Mother, please don't lie to me, daddy." Is everything really okay?”

Jing Shu looked at her son who looked very much like Li Ling, smiled and comforted him and said, "Mom didn't lie to you, everything is really fine with dad."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Brother Xuan's little face gently, and continued: "Daddy is brave and resourceful and is a very powerful general. Brother Xuan must have confidence in daddy."

Seeing that his mother's mood had calmed down, Brother Xuan finally relaxed his frown. He nodded to his mother and said, "Brother Xuan knows that daddy is a great hero. Brother Xuan wants to be like daddy when he grows up." .”

Seeing that her son was so sensible, Jingshu patted his head happily and said with a smile, "My brother Xuan will definitely be a promising person when he grows up."

Jing Shu was talking to her son here when Sister Bao walked in from the outside. When she saw her mother hugging her brother, she pouted, her face turned red like an apple and she shouted to her brother. : "Brother is wrong. Dad is not a big hero. Dad is my big horse. I can ride on his shoulders and let him take me running."

Although Sister Bao is the same age as Brother Xuan, she is not as sensible as Brother Xuan.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Jingshu couldn't help but frown, and patiently educated her: "Sister Bao, you must be polite when speaking, and you can't yell at others casually, you know?"

When Sister Bao heard this, her little mouth raised even higher. She stretched out her hand to pull Brother Xuan and said, "Both mother and father are mine. Mother hugs me, mother hugs me!"

Brother Xuan has long been accustomed to his sister's coquettishness. Seeing her getting angry again, Brother Xuan slipped off Jingshu's lap, struggled to pick up his sister and put her on Jingshu's lap, coaxing her and saying: "Okay Sister, don’t make trouble, brother, just let mom hug you."

Sister Bao was now slightly satisfied, with a smile on her round little face. She sat on her mother's lap, hugged Jingshu's neck and asked, "Mother, when will daddy come back?"

Jing Shu glanced at the spoiled little daughter and said with a sullen face: "If sister can be polite, well-behaved and sensible, dad will come back soon. If she continues to be so rude and yelling, dad will not like it either." Yes, even if I come back, I won’t play with you anymore.”

When Sister Bao heard this, she burst into tears and shouted loudly: "I want daddy. I want daddy to come back and play with me soon."

Jingshu coaxed her with kind words for a long time, but Sister Bao started crying more and more. Eminem and Ziyun also heard the sound and rushed over. Several people coaxed and persuaded for a while, but Brother Xuan finally coaxed his sister. He said he would take her to the garden to swat butterflies, which was how he calmed down the crying little ancestor.

Jingshu was so upset by her daughter, and Eminem was also sweating all over her forehead. The old man glanced at the back of Sister Bao who followed her brother out, and sighed helplessly: "This sister He was so well-behaved when he was first born, just like the eldest lady when she was a child. Alas! Now, he is really spoiled by my uncle. "

Children’s tempers are acquired through habituation. If my daughter has developed such a coquettish little temper, the culprit must be Li Ling.

Ziyun on the side listened to what Eminem said and sighed: "Don't let my uncle hear what Eminem said. This sister is my uncle's life. If I let my uncle hear you say that my sister is spoiled, Come on, my uncle is going to be embarrassed."

Although Jing Shu loves her daughter, she is not as indifferent as Li Ling. She replied helplessly: "Amu is right, this child was spoiled by her father." At this moment, being Li Ling, who was thinking about his wife and children, was looking at the battle map and thinking about a plan to capture the only remaining Lucheng.

This deer city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, all of which are cliffs. It was also the place where this group of rebels first revolted. It is not easy to break through this city.

 Li Ling was thinking hard about the map when he suddenly sneezed loudly. When Li Ling looked at the map again, the voices of his wife and a pair of children appeared in his mind.

Jingshu and her children thought about Li Ling day and night, and Li Ling missed them deeply.

My thoughts are driving my heart to capture this last city as soon as possible and end this battle.

Deputy General Hu Dahai stood behind Li Ling. Seeing the commander concentrating on the map, he couldn't bear it and shouted: "Why don't we gather all the brothers and attack from all sides? I don't believe we can't take it."

Hearing this, Li Ling moved his eyes away from the map, fell on Hu Dahai's face, and said calmly: "You are a man who only knows how to act recklessly. If you do this, how many brothers will be killed or injured."

Hu Dahai scratched his head anxiously: "If it continues like this, it will really make me feel very uncomfortable."

Lieutenant General Liang Jin said: "The terrain of this city is so steep that it would be very difficult to attack by force. The only way is to attack wisely."

Hu Dahai stared at his big copper bell eyes and asked, "How to outsmart him?"

Liang Jin rolled his eyes at him: "If we figure out a way, will the marshal and I still have to worry about it here?"

Hu Dahai sighed heavily: "If you want to use any strategy, that's not my strong point. You can just think about it here while I go out for a walk."

With that said, he was about to walk out, but was stopped by Li Ling and asked: "Have you arranged all the prisoners properly? How many of them are willing to surrender to us?"

Hu Dahai replied: "Most of them are willing to surrender, but there are only 1800 stubborn ones who were sent away by the King of Jin."

Li Ling frowned when he heard this and said, "What does the King of Jin want these prisoners to do?"

Hu Dahai shook his head and replied: "The prince only said that he was only useful, but he never made it clear."

Emperor Ming arranged for King Jin to follow Li Ling, originally intending for his son to follow Li Ling to earn military merits in vain. In addition, he was greedy for life and fearful of death and had little combat experience. Therefore, in the past few months since the war started, King Jin had just followed him around.

Li Ling heard from Hu Dahai that the King of Jin was going to take the captives who refused to surrender. He thought that the King of Jin was just having nothing to do and wanted to use his only ability of speaking well to persuade those people to surrender, so he didn't think much about it.
