Chapter 318 Borrowing People
When they returned to Jingyuan, Liang Laoer and his wife had already asked the cook to prepare dinner. Seeing her daughter coming back, Liu quickly asked the servants to set the table.
Liu pulled her daughter to sit down, "Qianhuan, you've been busy all day, you must be very hungry. Mother asked the kitchen staff to prepare many dishes that you like. Hurry and sit down to eat."
Qianhuan usually eats slowly, but today she had something on her mind and just wanted to finish her meal quickly and get busy. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a few dishes, and wolfed down the bowl of rice.
"Dad and Mom, take your time eating. I've already finished and will go back to my room first."
After saying this, she got up and ran to her boudoir without waiting for Liang Laoer and his wife to reply.
Liu muttered, "What's wrong with this kid today? He's in such a hurry to eat, and he doesn't even have a cup of tea before going back to his room."
Then Liu instructed Yinhua and Banxia, "You two should quickly make a cup of tea and send it to the young lady's room."
They both agreed in unison.
Qianhuan, who had run back to her room, was seen bending over the desk and writing furiously. When she saw Yinhua and Banxia coming in with tea, Qianhuan quickly put down her pen and gave instructions to the two of them.
"Banxia, go out and find out who is in charge of the Qian Family Army now? Also find out what this person's attitude is towards the execution of General Qian's entire family. Once you have found out, come back and report to me."
Banxia immediately responded and went out.
Yin Hua handed the tea to Qian Huan and said, "Miss, please have a sip of tea before you get busy."
"Just put the tea on the table, Yinhua. I also have something for you to do."
Yin Hua put down the teacup and said, "Miss, just give your orders."
"Go to the No. 1 Garden in the World and tell Master Cai to build a large stage on each of the four streets with the heaviest traffic in the four directions of the capital tomorrow. All four stages must be built by tomorrow. Tell him to prepare early."
"Okay, Miss, I'll pass the message on right away."
Seeing Yin Hua was about to leave, Qian Hua called her back, "Wait."
Yin Hua turned around, "Miss, do you have anything else to say?"
"Tell Master Cai that Tianxia First Garden will be closed for a day tomorrow. All actors must get a good rest tonight. I will lead them to rehearse a new play tomorrow, and the rehearsal will be very intense."
"Yes, I understand."
After Yinhua left, Qianhuan picked up the pen and continued writing at her desk.
In one hour, a stage play script of "Loyalty to the Country" rewritten by Qianhuan was born.
At this time, Banxia also came back and replied, "Miss, I have inquired clearly. His Majesty has not yet decided on the candidate to take over the Qian Family Army. The Qian Family Army is currently led by General Qian's former deputy general. This deputy general's surname is Zhang. He usually admires General Qian and is loyal to him. When he learned about General Qian's experience, he was also indignant."
After learning about this situation, Qianhuan felt relieved. "I understand. You should go and have some rest. We will go to the Qianjia Army camp tomorrow morning to meet Deputy General Zhang."
"Well, I'll take my leave."
On the second day, at daybreak, Qianhuan took a carriage to the camp of the Qian Family Army.
The guards of the camp stopped the man outside the gate and asked, "Who is coming?"
"I am the Princess of Jingrou County. Please go in and tell your Deputy General Zhang of the Qianjia Army that I have a way to rescue their general, but I still need Deputy General Zhang's help."
When the guard heard this, he immediately went in to inform Lieutenant General Zhang. After a while, the guard came out in a hurry.
He said to Qianhuan respectfully, "County Lady, my Deputy General Zhang wants to see you."
Deputy General Zhang had also heard of Princess Jingrou. He knew that she had once shined at the Five Nations Cultural Exchange Conference and won a lot of prizes for Dayuan.
Originally, Qianhuan said that she had a way to save their general, and he was indeed looking forward to it. But when he saw her in person and realized that Qianhuan was just a teenage girl, he couldn't help but feel a little skeptical.
But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will give it a try. He said straight to the point, "The county lady said that there is a way to save our general, and she needs the help of this deputy general. I wonder how the county lady needs my help?"
"I want to borrow fifty thousand soldiers from Deputy General Zhang."
When Lieutenant General Zhang saw Qianhuan asking him to borrow people, he thought Qianhuan was planning to take people to jailbreak.
"I have thought of your idea a long time ago. Even a martial artist like me would not dare to try it with fifty people, let alone a woman like you. How can you accomplish it? You underestimate the Heavenly Prison in the capital. I am sorry that I cannot agree to your request."
Qianhuan knew he had misunderstood, so she had to explain, "Lieutenant General Zhang misunderstood. Qianhuan was not going to jailbreak."
"Not a prison break? What does the county lady plan to do with this person?"
"In a few days, Deputy General Zhang will know what I am going to do. Prison breakout can only save the Qian family temporarily, not forever. Qianhua must not only rescue the Qian family, but also clear their grievances."
Seeing Qianhuan's confident look, Deputy General Zhang agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I agree to your request. County Lady, please follow me to the camp to select people."
"Lieutenant General Zhang can choose for me. I have no other requirements for these fifty soldiers. I just want each of them to have a serious scar on their body."
"That's easy. Among our Qianjia Army soldiers, who doesn't have any scars on their bodies? I'll go pick some for the county lady right now."
Qianhuan took fifty soldiers to the No. 1 Garden in the World, and the actors and musicians were also summoned to gather in the lobby where they usually performed stage plays.
Qianhuan instructed the actors, "I wrote a new play overnight. We need to rehearse all day today. I want you to be able to officially perform on stage in front of the people of the city tomorrow."
The actors were so shocked by Qianhuan's words that their mouths opened wide. Usually, it would take them at least seven or eight days to rehearse a new play.
This time the lady actually only gave them one day, and they had to perform in front of the people of the entire city.
One of the actors couldn't help but ask, "Miss, do you need to be so anxious?"
Qianhuan's expression was solemn. "Yes, it's urgent. Can you guys complete the task?"
The actors vowed, "Miss, although time is a bit tight, don't worry, we will definitely be fully prepared to rehearse before dawn."
So, Qianhuan began to assign tasks to the actors, musicians, and soldiers, and Qianhuan also personally taught the soldiers what parts they were to perform.
It was not until late at night that everyone finally finished rehearsing the play.
Qianhuan instructed the actors and musicians, "Everyone has worked hard in rehearsal all day, go back to your rooms and get some sleep. Once you have rested up, you will be ready to officially perform on stage in front of the people tomorrow."
"Yes, ma'am."
The fifty soldiers returned to the camp, and Qianhuan asked them to gather at the No. 1 Garden in the World tomorrow.
