Bab 406: 183: You should just shut up_2

Mrs. Xiang: ...

"Could there be other reasons?" Mrs. Xiang asked in confusion, as her husband didn't seem to have anything to be ashamed of.

Mr. Xiang nodded, "After His Majesty ascended the throne, every edict he issued was never arbitrary. Talking about compensation, after Su Chun's death in battle, wasn't His Majesty's reward to Qi Country Duke's Mansion generous enough?"

"If it's not because of that, what is the reason?" Mrs. Xiang's expression became serious.

"You know, I have some friendship with Commander Guo from the Imperial Guard. Last time when we had drinks together, he told me that when Zhangping Mansion was besieged by the Tatar army, the Prince of Yong'an had sneaked into the grassland with only a handful of her own mercenaries and Yulin guards. In just a few days, she figured out the enemy's grain transport and set up an ambush in the Guanshan area outside Zhangping Mansion."
