Liu She was indeed very thin. He wasn't short, and he didn't have much meat on his body.
Even though Liu She was wearing loose clothes, Jiang Pengji was very good at judging a person's gender, height, weight, and measurements based on the size of his feet, the depth of his footprints, the frequency of his breathing, and the facial features … She could roughly determine a person's gender, height, weight, and measurements, let alone someone like Liu She.
Jiang Pengji said discontentedly, "Father is much thinner than before. When we return home this time, we have to take good care of the flesh."
Liu She's eyes were filled with surprise. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly. His hands were trembling on his knees, as if he didn't know where to put them.
"Lanting, Lanting, do you still have your childhood memories? Do you remember how I used to look like?"
After the death of Liu Lanting's twin brother, her birth mother also died of a serious illness. Liu She, who was deeply affected, had to leave Hejian County for some reason. His new post was far from here and it was very dangerous. Out of consideration, he did not bring Liu Lanting with him. He had only returned home twice in the past few years.
To be precise, this "father and son" had not seen each other for many years.
Jiang Pengji shook her head and said, "The clothes you're wearing are old, but they're too big to fit you now. Aren't you losing weight?"
"So that's how it is …" The excitement on Liu She's face subsided, but when he thought about how his daughter had been so observant, it was obvious that she had taken a liking to him. He felt much better when he thought about it, and said gently, "Your mother doesn't like needlework. She's been married to me for many years, but she's only done a few sets …"
As expected, it seemed that this cheap father had deep feelings for the cheap mother that he had never met before.
However, when she thought of the situation in the Inner Courtyard, she kicked this thought out of her mind. Men from the ancient times had different values from her own. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

"Father, will you be staying at home for a long time this time?"
Jiang Pengji could tell that Liu She's physical condition was not very good. Aside from the depression in his heart, most of it was due to overwork. Based on the trend, it was not impossible for him to die from overwork. Therefore, she preferred to strike a balance between work and rest.
Even though Jiang Pengji could not treat Liu Lanting as her father, she was still borrowing Liu Lanting's body. Jiang Pengji could at least show some concern for Liu Lanting, but it was up to Liu Lanting if he wanted to listen to her.
In Liu She's ears, his heart softened as if he was a careful daughter who couldn't bear to see him leave.
"This time, I have some matters to deal with. I should be staying here for about three months. After I'm done with everything, I'll go to Shangjing … If everything goes smoothly, I'll have nothing to worry about and be a rich man at home."
Liu She's answer was completely out of Jiang Pengji's expectations. Was he going to retire?
"Father, you're still so young. You've just reached the age of thirty. Why are you retiring?"
In that era, there was no precise retirement age for officials. Most of them worked until they could no longer work. Liu She was still young, only in his early thirties. His career was on the rise, and there was still room for him to show off.
Liu She thought for a moment, then touched his head.
"The official family doesn't care about the dissuasion of the scholars and Confucian scholars, and doesn't listen to the advice of the hundreds of officials. They insist on negotiating with the three tribes of the Northern Borderline. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a great disaster. It's better to escape as soon as possible while it's still early … My wish in life is to live a carefree life and protect you as you grow up. However, the current situation is unforgiving … In comparison, the internal strife and intrigue in the officialdom is really boring. Lanting is almost an adult, and I want to spend more time with you. "
He smiled bitterly. How could his daughter understand such things?
"Father, are you worried that after the negotiation, the Emperor will be afraid of the Count of Zhenbei and will cut off his own arms?"
Jiang Pengji's words shocked Liu She. He did not expect his daughter to be so knowledgeable.
On second thought, although his daughter was a girl, she had been raised as a man since she was young. She was also his and Ah Min's daughter, so she was not stupid.
What's more, his daughter had an extraordinary background.
"Indeed, the three tribes of the Northern Borderline are ambitious and have coveted Dongqing for many years. The Emperor has been neglecting the court affairs and is no longer as wise and decisive as he was when he was young … Refusing to negotiate, the Emperor still has to rely on the Count of Zhenbei. However, the Emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Count of Zhenbei and always wants to take over the military power … If the negotiation is successful, it will be time to kill the donkey after it's no longer useful."
Liu She shook his head. It was not that there were no people who could see the hidden dangers, but the Emperor was biased and stubborn. Even a few bulls could not pull him back.
Speaking of this, Liu She sneered and said sarcastically, "They are not upright. No wonder they are afraid of the Count of Zhenbei."
The royal family of Dongqing was originally a fugitive slave. Later, they worked as a groom for a famous general of the previous dynasty. By chance, they were favored and slowly rose to power.
However, a dog cannot change its spots. Their ancestor became a rebel for a temporary benefit. His descendants thought that all the generals were rebels.
The corner of Jiang Pengji's mouth twitched secretly. She thought that as an outsider, she had no fear of the imperial power. She had blurted out what she wanted … She did not expect her father to be even more ruthless. He had directly scolded the ancestors of the Dongqing royal family.
In ancient times, bloodline and background were the most important. Scolding them was more insulting than anything else.
However, it could also be seen from this point that her father was not foolishly loyal at all. He was quite rebellious in nature.
Jiang Pengji asked, "If the Count of Zhenbei falls, will there be other soldiers in Dongqing who can resist the ambitious three tribes of the Northern Borderline?"
"If there is, why would the Emperor rely on the Count of Zhenbei to guard the border of the Northern Borderline for so many years? They would have separated and restrained each other long ago. "
Liu She sneered. He did not let go of the Count of Zhenbei, but at the same time, he was thinking about taking back the military power. He was not afraid of being divided.
"If that's the case, once the Count of Zhenbei falls, the Emperor will be bewitched and promote a few generals who only have the ability to talk on paper to replace the Count of Zhenbei and guard everywhere … When the time comes, the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Borderline will join forces, I'm afraid they will have the momentum to destroy everything. Dongqing …"
War was Jiang Pengji's old profession. Although the situation and the tools of war in the two eras were different, which led to the final method of war, the essence of war remained the same. Even if the environment had changed, her sense of smell was still as sharp as ever.
Dongqing had no other capable generals except for the Count of Zhenbei. It showed how much the military officials were suppressed.
"If it's chaotic, then so be it … As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. If things are really as Lanting said, Dongqing's destiny is near!"
Unexpectedly, Liu She, who was usually elegant, sneered and said such rebellious words.
Jiang Pengji said slowly, "I think that a centipede is dead but not dead … Maybe it can be saved …"
It was a country in ancient times. Information, communication, and transportation were too backward. It was not as easy to destroy a country as it was in her era.
In her era, if one wanted to destroy a country in the morning, it would never be delayed until the evening.
Liu She put on a gentle and doting smile and added, "A fool who doesn't know he's courting death is incurable."
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
