Chapter 1063, what exactly is it for?
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, Mother and Aunt have both gone to see Princess Yingying off. Aren't you going?"
Lu Qiyan was caught by Lu Yunfei early in the morning to practice riding and archery.
He wasn't trying to be lazy; he just genuinely felt that Princess Yingying had spent so many years with everyone, and now that she was going home, Ninth Prince should see her off.
But Lu Yunfei had no intention of seeing him off; in fact, he felt a bit disgusted by it.
"She'll be back tomorrow, why bother seeing her off?"
Seeing someone off is clearly unnecessary.
Yuwen Ying won't really leave.
This isn't the first time she's threatened to leave.
Lu Qiyan glanced at him, wanting to say something, but although he was small and more mature than the average child, his mind wasn't that complicated.
He always felt that Princess Yingying was really going to leave, but Ninth Prince didn't believe it, and he didn't know whether he should continue to believe it.
He doesn't really understand.
Lu Qiyan said no more, leaped onto his horse, and went to practice with his heavy longbow.
They practiced all morning.
When I returned at noon, I saw Zisu preparing meals for everyone.
Lu Yunfei looked around but couldn't find Yuwen Ying.
This time they're really leaving, but they'll be back by tomorrow at the latest.
I'll probably be back in the city before nightfall tonight.
He waited.
And so another half day passed.
At midnight, instead of Yuwen Ying returning, Lu Beimo, who had been away for two days, appeared instead.
"The rebels in Beijiang are stirring up trouble again. During this period, everyone should try not to leave the city." Lu Beimo returned covered in dust.
Jing Lei returned with him, and was even injured.
Zisu and Liuyun went to take care of Jinglei.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Yunfei rushed to Lu Beimo's bedroom.
"Weren't the rebels from Beijiang supposed to have retreated to the north? Why have they come back?" They even dare to operate outside the city of Jiangbei? Aren't they a bit too bold?
Chu Yueli also found it strange: "Jiangbei City is heavily guarded. Even if they come back, they won't get any benefits. What exactly do they want to do outside the city now?"
Lu Beimo left the city these past two days because he received news of bandit activity.
However, given the current situation in Jiangbei City, with its heavily guarded defenses, the rebels have no chance to cause any chaos.
Why are they still gathering outside the city?
"Have you caught the rebels and brought them in for questioning?" Chu Yueli asked.
Lu Beimo shook his head and took off his armor, handing it to her.
"They looked like suicide squad members; those who were caught all bit into poison and committed suicide."
"Why?" Why would a bandit commit suicide by biting poison? This is not the behavior of an ordinary bandit.
As Chu Yueli hung up the armor, she asked in confusion, "Could it be that they are not ordinary bandits? Or perhaps spies from another country in disguise?"
"I don't know for now. However, things have been quite turbulent in the Southern Frontier lately. I've already sent people to the Ming family in the Southern Frontier to inquire about the situation. I wonder if this incident with the rebels is related to the unrest in the Southern Frontier."
Lu Beimo sat down.
Lu Yunfei poured him some tea.
After Lu Beimo finished his drink in one gulp, he continued, "In recent years, the Southern and Northern Frontiers have appeared relatively peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there are remnants of rebels everywhere. They were driven out of the territory by us and the Ming family and lost their leadership, so naturally they are resentful of us."
"Over the years, they have been waiting for an opportunity to act, but I still can't figure out why there is this turmoil outside the city."
Such minor disturbances are too small to be of any use to the rebels in recovering lost territory.
What exactly are these rebels doing operating outside the city?
