Chapter 280 We Have Learned a Lot Today
Lu Shao, Qin Lao and others traveled to the border together.
I had been to several nearby cities before, and war suddenly broke out in one of them.
Under the protection of Lu Shao, Qin Lao and others joined forces with the Duke of Zhenguo's army.
Lu Shao also helped to come up with a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, finding the enemy's main force and luring them out to annihilate them.
As a result, he was appreciated by the Duke of Zhenguo.
Especially after knowing that Lu Shao’s daughter-in-law saved Wei Fenghua and was Wei Fenghua’s goddaughter.
The Duke of Zhenguo entertained them even more warmly, and even Jiang Yiqi rushed back from outside.
Not only that, what surprised Lu Shao was...
Not only was Qiao Ye's biological brother Qiao Yu not dead, he had disappeared before because he had gone out to spy on the enemy.
In a crucial battle not long ago, he saved Jiang Yiqi, who was almost shot to death by his own soldiers.
This also means that even if Wei Fenghua did not die, there are people who want Jiang Yiqi to die.
But this time he was not destined to die and was saved by Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu also fiercely killed the enemy generals.
By chance, the brother and sister rescued Wei Fenghua and her son one after another.
For this reason, the Duke of Zhenguo was very enthusiastic towards Lu Shao and introduced him to others as his grandson-in-law.
Mr. Qin suggested taking his students to the military camp for a few days of experience, and the Duke of Zhenguo agreed.
A celebration banquet happened to be held today, and Lu Shao played a significant role in this.
The Duke of Zhenguo invited him, Mr. Qin and others to participate.
It was sunny today and the weather wasn't too cold, so the celebration banquet was held in the open space outside the big tent.
Everyone drank and ate meat happily, laughing and chatting.
At this time, a soldier came to report that there was a carriage from Mayu County outside, delivering gifts to Lu Shao.
The people around started to make a fuss and asked the carriage to be pulled in directly.
Lu Shao was also quite straightforward and let the person in.
The driver was Lu Shao's man. He was stunned when he saw so many soldiers here.
He reacted quickly, got out of the car and saluted to the Duke of Zhenguo and others.
Then he looked at Lu Shao and said, "Sir, Madam has prepared a cart of things for you and asked me to deliver it specially."
He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to him, "This is a letter."
Lu Shao took the letter and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work along the way!"
He opened the letter and read it. It stated what the gifts were in the carriage, what they were for, etc.
After watching it, many people cheered, "Xiao Lu's wife is really thoughtful. She came all the way from far away to send you a gift."
"Haha, the young couple got married not long ago, it's the time to be intimate and passionate."
"I'm afraid Xiao Lu is missing his wife."
"A wife, children, and a warm bed, Xiao Lu must be thinking about it, hahaha..."
"Xiao Lu, what gift did your wife give you?"
The men in the military camp are used to living a rough life.
I usually make a lot of dirty jokes, but now I’m more restrained.
Lu Shao had spent some time in the military in his previous life, so he was quite adaptable.
He smiled and said, "My wife sent me some food, clothes and shoes."
Then he looked at the Duke of Zhenguo and Jiang Yiqi, "Not only for me, but also for Grandpa and Brother Qi."
Because Qiao Ye's biological elder brother is still alive, he calls him "Big Brother", Brother Jiang Yiqiqi.
The title of grandpa was also given to him by the Duke of Zhenguo.
Duke Zhenguo and Jiang Yiqi were surprised at first; they didn't expect that there would be gifts for them.
Then they were all very happy because their granddaughter/sister was thinking about them.
Although they had never met Qiao Ye, they had heard a lot of things, plus various letters from Wei Fenghua.
Therefore, the two of them had a very good impression of Qiao Ye and truly treated her as a family member.
The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said, "Little Ye Zi is thoughtful."
A drunken general asked with a smile: "Xiao Lu, what did your wife give to the marshal and the general? Can we see it?"
Life in the army is rather boring and it's rare to have fun, so we just want to join in the fun.
So others followed suit.
Of course, they were also quite curious.
Lu Shao chuckled and said, "Nothing is impossible."
He gave some instructions to the man who drove the carriage.
The other party quickly carried down several brocade boxes from the carriage.
There was a note attached to each brocade box to make it easier for Lu Shao to sort them out.
Lu Shao took the brocade boxes for the Duke of Zhenguo and Jiang Yiqi respectively and placed them on the table where they were.
The Duke of Zhenguo was not fussy about details. At the instigation of the soldiers, he reached out and opened the top box.
A lifelike eagle with wings spread lies on the silk.
The Duke of Zhenguo took it out, looked at it carefully and asked, "What is this carved from? It looks like jade but it's not."
Lu Shao replied: "This is a candle."
"The beak and the top feathers of both wings are the leads."
The Duke of Zhenguo was surprised and asked, "This is actually a candle?"
I had heard before that my granddaughter was good at making customized candles, but I never thought that candles could be made to look like this.
That's a bit too dexterous.
The soldiers watching were all surprised. "What? This is actually a candle?"
"Is this true? I've never seen or even heard of such an eagle candle."
"Can you light it?"
"Marshal, light it up and let us see it."
The Duke of Zhenguo didn't really want to light it, as he thought it would be a pity to burn it.
But he was also very curious, and he also wanted to show off how great his granddaughter was.
So he smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay, I'll show it to you."
Then he used a fire starter to light the eagle's beak and two wings, and the flames instantly appeared very brightly.
“It really is a candle!”
"Look, after the eagle's beak is lit up, its eyes also become bright, as if they are alive."
"God, it's really God."
“This candle is great!”
"We really learned a lot today."
They gathered around and looked at the candle carefully, expressing their amazement constantly.
As he was watching, the Duke of Zhenguo blew out the candle.
"Marshal, why did you blow it?"
"I just took a closer look and smelled a nice fragrance. This candle can also be used as incense."
"Your granddaughter is so amazing that she can even make candles like this."
Everyone really thinks Qiao Ye is amazing and keeps praising him.
The Duke of Zhenguo had a look of pride on his face and was beaming with joy at the praise.
Someone laughed and shouted, "Marshal, since you are so happy today, light this candle to cheer us up."
"Yes, light it up, so we can learn more."
"It smells so good, I want to smell it again."
The Duke of Zhenguo waved his hands and said unhappily, "It's nothing to help the fun. It's a waste of resources to light it like this."
"What do you guys know?"
He smiled proudly and said, "I will bring this thing back to the capital in a while and show it to my old friends. It is a gift made by my granddaughter for me."
They won several great victories in succession, and Qiao Yu even beheaded the enemy generals.
They took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and recaptured a city.
The emperor was very pleased with the good news.
In addition, Qiao Yu has also developed several more powerful weapons, and he needs to go to Beijing to hand over the blueprints to the Ministry of War for forging.
If he makes continuous contributions, he will definitely be appointed as a general after returning to Beijing.
He had always liked and appreciated Qiao Yu, and after knowing that he was Qiao Ye's brother, he valued him even more.
Half a month later, he will bring his grandson and accompany Qiao Yu to Beijing.
With him protecting him, no one dared to take advantage of Qiao Yu's achievements or suppress him.
He also hadn't seen his sister and two daughters for several years and missed them very much.
His precious little daughter was even bullied to the point that she divorced her husband, so he had to go back and take a look.
He had submitted a memorial to the emperor, and the emperor allowed him to return to Beijing for a month.
He would certainly not be able to avoid meeting friends at that time, so he thought of taking the Eagle Candle to show it to his old friends.
Let those old guys see that not only his daughters and grandchildren are filial to him, but his newly recognized granddaughter is also filial to him.
As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that the marshal would not order it again.
Everyone was still unsatisfied, "Stingy."
Then they looked at the other wooden boxes with curiosity.
One by one, they shouted, "Marshal, quickly open the box below and see what's inside?"
(I have to hurry out, and I haven’t finished the rest. I’ll write and post it when I get back, in the evening or at night, I’m not sure about the time~)
