Chapter 1210: Preparing for War

In the hot summer, there was a lot of noise outside, but Rui Ge'er's small study was very cool.

Brother Rui said sullenly to the two younger brothers: "The eldest brother can go to Yucheng with his father, but I can't." "What do you say, he is too young, and the eldest brother is obviously only one year older than him. The eldest brother can go, but he can't.

Brother You said: "Didn't my mother say that I would let you go two years later." "As for whether he can go to the battlefield, Brother You doesn't have any feelings.

Brother Xuan said: "Second brother, it's okay if you don't go if there is wind and sand over there in Yucheng. "Brother Xuan is very uninterested in fighting, and it is best not to go.

Brother Rui felt that he could not find an alliance, and sat down in his chair in frustration.

The maid and the man said outside: "Second young master, the princess sent someone to send a pot of flowers over, saying that they should be placed in the study." ”

Brother Rui is not interested in this flower and plant.

Younan brought in a pot of jasmine. This pot of jasmine bloomed a few flowers, and the petals were separated layer by layer, moist as jade and white as silk, exuding bursts of fragrance. The white flowers are like pearls on jasper against the backdrop of green leaves, which is very beautiful. It's a pity that Brother Rui was irritable at this time, and when he looked at the flower, he reached out and plucked it and put it on the table.

Seeing that Brother Rui still wanted to pick it, Brother Xuan hurriedly stopped him, and said with a painful face: "Second brother, you don't know how to cherish things, right?" The four brothers, Brother Xuan'er cherishes these flowers and plants very much.

Brother Rui said nonchalantly: "If you like it, take it back when you go back." "If it weren't for his mother saying that he was reading in the study, and his eyes were tired to look at these flowers, he wouldn't be willing to put these things away.

Brother Xuan said: "Okay, I'll move over later." Although the triplets live separately, the third brother's yard is next to each other, and they can be heard when they shout loudly on weekdays.

Brother You saw that Brother Rui looked like he couldn't lift his spirits and said, "Second brother, let's go to the school training ground to practice archery." As long as you learn martial arts well, your mother will not stop you from following your father to the battlefield. "It's a day off, so they're so laid-back. Usually, if you go to class early, how can you have time to complain here.

Brother Xuan said in his childhood: "Second brother, Ayou, can I not go?" Finally, there was a holiday, and he still wanted to practice his newly learned tunes, but he didn't want to go to the school practice ground at all!

Brother Rui and Brother You said in unison: "No." "No matter what the two of them do, they have to bring Brother Xuan'er, this is already a routine. As for Brother Xuan'er using his free time to learn music and rhythm, they won't get involved in this matter.

Brother Xuan's face was bitter.

Hearing that the triplets went to the school training ground, Yuxi smiled and said to Xu Wu: "I thought that Ah Rui would be in a mood for a few days?" Since he knew that Qi Hao would go to Yucheng with Yunqing, Brother Rui muttered that he wanted to go with him, and after being refused, he lost his temper.

Xu Wudao: "The second young master must want to practice martial arts, so that the princess will not stop him next time." ”

After talking a few words about the children, Xu Wu said: "Princess, is the prince ready to use troops against the northern captivity?" Yun Qing was ready to wait for him to return from the border city, and then announce to the public that he was going to lead troops to attack the northern captivity.

Yuxi nodded and said, "You also know that the prince's greatest wish is to destroy the Northern Captives." It just so happened that he got the Wu family's treasure this time, and he didn't want to wait any longer. ”

Xu Wu was silent and said, "Princess, next year the prince will attack the Northern Captivity, and I want to follow too." Without waiting for Yuxi to ask, Xu Wu said: "So many of my brothers died at the hands of the Northern captives, and I want to avenge them." Huo Changqing adopted more than 20 children that year, and more than half of them died at the hands of the Northern captives. This blood debt, they must pay it.

Yuxi didn't object, but just asked, "Do you have a candidate in mind to replace you?" Xu Daniu was a little reckless, he was still a second-in-command, and Yuxi was not at ease when he was a first-in-command.

Xu Wu said: "My subordinates feel that Gu Ge can temporarily take my place. "Gu Ge was trained by Xu Wu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his apprentice.

Yuxi heard the meaning of Xu Wu's words: "You mean to leave only temporarily? "Although Yu Cong was a little unhappy before, after all, they have been together for more than ten years, and the affection is still very deep. Otherwise, Yuxi wouldn't have said these heartfelt words.

Xu Wu said with a smile: "Princess, I think it's good now." "Why he insisted on staying in the palace, only he knew this.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Xu Wu is not a person who is afraid of death, so Yuxi doesn't understand why he has been reluctant to go to the army to develop and insists on staying in the palace.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Since you think Gu Ge is good, then let Gu Ge replace you temporarily." But the deputy, add violet. "Guge has also been in the palace for almost ten years, and he is absolutely loyal. But to be careful, Yuxi is going to leave Zijin in the mansion, so that she can feel more at ease.

Xu Wu naturally had no objections.

Xu Daniu replied in a loud voice: "Princess, there is a letter delivered in Guizhou. "Guizhou is now Guan Tai handling the follow-up matters, and the governor is sent by Yuxi.

After reading the letter, Yuxi's face was a little unpleasant.

Xu Wu asked, "Princess, what's wrong?" Is something wrong with the big county lord?"

Yuxi put down the letter and said, "That girl is injured again, but fortunately, her life is not in danger." ”

Xu Wu said: "Princess, how can there be anyone who is not injured in this battle?" Suppressing bandits is also very dangerous, and when encountering those extremely vicious bandits, there will also be danger to their lives.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "How can you not know this." But every time I hear that she is injured, I ...... in my heart, "How can this mother feel good when she hears that her daughter is injured."

After a pause, Yuxi said, "Forget it, this girl is here to collect debts." Since I was a child, I have never let people worry about it. ”

When Xu Wu heard this, he laughed. In fact, the lord of the big county will be like this, it is the prince and the princess who are favored.

The harvest in Jiangnan this year was very good, and the government purchased it at a reasonable and fair price, and there was no situation of cheap grain in a good year. After the grain was harvested, it was continuously transported to the city of pickaxe. Such a big move naturally caused speculation.

In the evening of that day, Han Jianming accompanied Qiu's family for a walk in the courtyard after dinner. Qiu Shi asked, "Ming'er, I heard that a lot of grain has been transported to Ho City recently? Could it be that this year's harvest is not good on the other side of Ho City?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No, it's the prince who is preparing to use troops against the northern captivity." "From Jiangnan to Yucheng and the West Sea, it is thousands of miles away. With such a long journey, it is natural to prepare early.

Qiu Shi frowned and said, "Why is there another war?" "To fight means to die. Qiu is a person who believes in Buddhism, and he doesn't like to kill the most.

Han Jianming said: "In the past two years, although the northern captives have not sent troops on a large scale, they have always harassed the people in the border cities, and hundreds or thousands of people die every year. The prince sent troops to completely solve the problem of the northern captivity. ”

Qiu Shi was silent, and after a while, he said, "When is the prince going to send troops?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said: "This matter has not been announced to the public, and I don't know the specifics, but I guess it should be the beginning of spring next year!"

Qiu said: "If there is a war, won't Qiqi's marriage be unsuccessful? Qiqi will be nineteen next year, and if it drags on any longer, it will be twenty." "If you don't get married at the age of twenty, then you will be an old girl. If you're in the capital, you'll be laughed at.

Han Jianming said: "Zhi Ao is two years younger than Qiqi, and it doesn't matter if he gets married for a year and a half at night. "It's all married, and the family will not regret the marriage, and it doesn't matter if it's a year or two at night.

Qiu said: "Or, the marriage will be done at the end of this year, right?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No." If it is done this year, General Feng will not be able to rush back to attend the wedding. This is not a good thing for Qiqi. "There will be a war next year, there is a lot of preparation, and Feng Dajun will be too busy with him to get out. In this case, it is a bit hasty to get married.

Qiu Shi sighed and said angrily: "What about Brother Chang? Brother Chang is seventeen years old this year, and he can't delay it anymore." ”

Han Jianming said: "This son knows it in his heart, mother, don't worry about it." ”

Qiu said: "You hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law for me to come back, there is a matter of Zhang Luo's children, I won't worry about it." This is urging Han Jianming to continue.

Han Jiaming doesn't reject remarrying, but now is really not the time: "Mother, now is not the time to talk about this." Mother, when the war in the northern captivity is over, I will definitely marry you a daughter-in-law and come back. "The wife still has to be married, otherwise it will be inconvenient for many things.

Qiu Shi was very satisfied with Han Jianming's reply, but then said with a regretful face: "It's a pity that Yuxi is not here, if she is here, she can check for you." ”

Han Jianming said with a smile: "It's me who marries my daughter-in-law, what do you want Yuxi to do?"

Qiu's didn't think so much: "Your younger brother and sister were chosen by Yuxi, and the housekeeper took care of the children properly." "As for the Ye family, the people are gone, so let's not talk about her.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "Yuxi's vision has always been good. At first, he was a little reluctant about this marriage, after all, Lu Xiu was originally his brother-in-law's fiancΓ©e. It was also because Qiu liked it that he didn't object. It turns out that Yuxi's vision is much stronger than that of her grandmother.

Accompanied Qiu Shi around the garden and sent her back to the yard, and Han Jianming returned to the front yard.

Han Gao handed a letter to Han Jianming and said, "My lord, the princess's letter." "The brother and sister still write very frequently, and this letter is about business and private affairs.

Han Jianming smiled after reading the letter, and said to Han Gao: "The prince is really preparing to send troops to the north in the spring of next year. "Just as he expected.

Han Gao asked, "Lord, what is the matter with the princess's letter this time?"

Han Jianming said: "Cloth and medicinal herbs and other strategic materials. "This is preparation for the war.

It was not only Han Jianming who got this order, but also Liu Biyuan and others. The main reason for this big fight is that Yucheng is too remote, and the distance is too long, and the delivery of materials takes too long, so it is necessary to prepare in advance.

This news reached the capital a few days later. Meng Nian said to Yan Wushuang: "Your Majesty, Yunqing really wants to use troops against the northern captivity. ”

Yan Wushuang had already guessed, so he was not surprised, he asked another thing: "How is Black Eagle?" Since the Black Eagle mutinied, he has led the people of the imperial court to frantically hunt down the intelligence officers in Beijing in the northwest. It is also because of this that the falcon has been hiding and not daring to show up.

The day before yesterday, Black Hawk took people to catch the falcon's hiding place, but he didn't expect that this was a trap carefully arranged by the falcon. Black Hawk not only did not catch anyone, but was seriously injured himself, and is still in a coma.

Meng Nian shook his head and said: "The imperial doctor said that he is not optimistic, if he doesn't wake up again, I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up again." "Because Yan Wushuang promised Black Eagle that as long as he caught the falcon, he would be incognito. Black Hawk is afraid of reprisals and wants to get rid of this kind of life on the verge of death as soon as possible, so he especially wants to get rid of the falcon as soon as possible. It is precisely this psychology that was sought by the falcon for an opportunity.

Yan Wushuang said: "Let's go all out to rescue!"

Unfortunately, Black Hawk was too badly injured and finally died. Meng Nian prepared a good coffin and secretly buried him in a beautiful place, and he didn't dare to stand up as for the monument. Once found, I am afraid that the bones of the black eagle will not be left.

In order to get rid of the traitor Black Hawk, the falcon used itself as bait. It is also because of this that Black Hawk will take the bait. However, although the falcon was not in danger of life, it was also injured.

While changing the falcon's dressing, Red Eagle said hatefully: "This bastard, when it falls into my hands in the future, I will have to pull his tendons and pick his skin and drink his blood." ”

Falcon said, "Black Hawk could not have been alive if he had received an arrow from me." "That arrow is quenched with poison, unless the other party has a master of detoxification, the black eagle will definitely die.

Red Eagle put down the medicine bottle and said, "Cheap him." "Because of the Black Hawk's rebellion, nearly a hundred of them died.

The falcon shook his head and said, "It's also my carelessness, I haven't found out that he has betrayed for so long." The Black Eagle was also brought out by him, but in the end, he took refuge in Yan Wushuang, which was no less than a slap in the face to him.

Red Eagle disagreed: "What does this have to do with you? "Black Eagle was secretly captured by Meng Nian, and he was afraid of death, so he defected.

Falcon said: "Not everyone can survive torture like Phoenix Eagle. "I couldn't stand it, so I rebelled. survived, but got a way out.

Chi Ying said: "Boss, more than 300 people in Jiding Mountain have been killed by Tie Kui. Boss, that Tie Kui is Yan Wushuang's most loyal eagle dog, should we send someone to kill him, and also take revenge on those refugees. ”

With the Black Widow matter in front of him, Falcon didn't dare to tell the others Tie Kui's true identity: "We have moved too much during this time, so we shouldn't act rashly for the time being!"

Red Eagle was a little daring, but he was not as bold as Black Widow: "Then let him live for two more years." "Wait for the prince to call, and then avenge those refugees.
