When King Cheng and his wife were worried, an urgent report came from the border pass in the north, and the Northern Barbarian army was ready to move.

Every winter, because of the lack of food, the Northern Barbarian cavalry will wreak havoc at the border pass, but this year's battle report indicates that the military situation is urgent, which shows that it is not a small group of cavalry.

Emperor Wu, who had been in power for many days, endured a headache and went to the court, and the king of Cheng, Zhou Dingkang, asked for a decree to let the prince Zhou Ming go to the north to face the battle.

It's November now, and it's time to get to the border, and it will take half a year to come back, to say the least.

Emperor Wu said "Zhou Qing's loyalty is commendable", and immediately played it, and ordered Zhou to set off for the north tomorrow.

Seeing this, Wen Guogong stuffed the prepared fold back into his sleeve, but it was a pity that Zhou Dingkang actually knew each other like this.

Zhou Ming was a little reluctant in his heart, but thinking that the military situation at the border was a major matter, he still stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order.

After the next court, Zhou Dingkang took him to the military department and the household department to discuss the transfer of troops and grain and grass.

Jin Yuanzong was beaten by Li Chengen but did not dare to speak out since he was pinched on the matter of Teng Wang Yudang, and now his life in the court is very difficult, and his hair is white. He didn't call him poor this time, but spread out the account book to show Zhou Ming, showing that the household was really poor.

"Lord Shizi, the household can only transfer out such a little grain and grass, and there is not a grain of rice left."

The Ministry of War said that it was okay to agree on the transfer of troops to the north.

By the time the agreement was over, it was already the beginning of the day.

Zhou Ming followed Zhou Dingkang back to the front of the house, "Father, I still have some business, I have to go to the barracks." ”

"Come back, the city gate is closed, how can you get out of the city?"

"Hehe, father, I said something wrong, I'll get a few friends to get together." Zhou Ming didn't wait for Zhou Dingkang to speak again, turned the horse's head and ran away.

Zhou Dingkang listened to the sound of the horse's hooves and ran away, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Ming hurried to Yan's mansion, because Yudong told the news of the expedition, Yuxiu and Yuliang knew that he was leaving tomorrow.

"Brother Zhou, you're going to war again." Yuliang couldn't help but complain, "I heard that the north is far away, and when you come back, it will be next summer." ”

Zhou Ming smiled helplessly, he didn't want to go, but the state affairs came first, and it was his duty to defend the territory and open up the territory.

"Fortunately, the day for you and my eldest sister has been set." Yuliang nodded again, "It's okay, my eldest sister can understand you." This is my eldest sister, if it were other girls, it would definitely be unhappy. ”

Yuliang felt that as a brother, he had to let Zhou Ming remember the benefits of Yuxiu. Therefore, he hurriedly took the opportunity to show the eldest sister's deep understanding of righteousness, and let Zhou Ming know how lucky he was to meet such a good person as his eldest sister.

Yudong didn't understand Yuliang's twists and turns, listened to his poor mouth, and patted him on the head, "Don't go to study yet." ”

Zhou Ming saw that there were only Yudong and Yuliang in the hall, and he didn't find Yuxiu, he was a little disappointed, and he didn't know how to speak.

For the sake of his sister's reputation, Yudong is now strictly guarded, and the two are not allowed to meet in front of him.

Zhou Ming has always asked Yuliang Hongyan to pass on the book, seeing this, he can only ask Yuliang, squeezing his eyebrows at Yuliang and making a gesture of please.

Yuliang looked at his pleading look, and his eyes rolled, "Brother, I have something to do, you come with me." ”

"Zhou Shizi is here ......"

"I'm in a hurry, hurry up, Ah Sheng, you go and talk to Mama Gong, and let her tell the eldest sister that Zhou Shizi is here. Zhou Shizi, you sit for a while, and my brother and I will come back when we go. With that, he dragged Yudong and left.

Yudong was stunned when he heard his words, "No! ”

"How can my brother be the same as an old pedant now, you forgot, in the village before, everyone saw each other the same whether they were married or not." Yuliang complained directly.

Yudong was blocked by his words, and he didn't know what to say, so he was dragged away in such a blink of an eye.

Zhou Ming listened to the voices of the two of them, and happily waited in the hall for a while, and Mama Gong really accompanied Yuxiu.

Yuxiu is busy sorting out Yudong's outfit in the backyard, and tomorrow, Yudong will also go on the expedition. Hearing that Zhou Ming was coming, she came to the hall with a smile and saw that Zhou Ming was stretching his neck and looking at the door with shining eyes.

"You're leaving tomorrow, why don't you rest sooner?" She was embarrassed by Zhou Ming and whispered.

Zhou Ming walked to her side, only to feel that Yuxiu had grown taller again, before on his shoulder, but now at his chin, "I'll tell you, that, I'm going to the north tomorrow." ”

Mama Gong smiled and beckoned to the two people who were waiting on the side, and they both walked outside the hall to wait.

There was no one else, Zhou Ming felt more comfortable, looking at Yuxiu with a wave of eyes looking at him, thinking that he would be able to get married next year, but he actually went out at this time, "Before we make a marriage, I will definitely rush back." Don't worry, I'll be back. ”

"Who's worried?" Yuxiu couldn't help but sigh when she heard what he said.

"I'm worried, I'm worried." Zhou Ming hurriedly begged for mercy, and Yuxiu couldn't help laughing.

This smile is like a spring flower blooming, and I only feel that the room is full of spring.

Zhou Ming only felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but hold Yuxiu's hand, Yuxiu struggled for a while and didn't break away, "Xiuxiu, when we get married, we will go to the Northland." Although there are often wars over there, it is much more fun than the capital. ”

He thought that Yuxiu was not bound by the gate of the capital, there were too many rules in the capital, which could compare to the freedom of the north, "The grassland of the north, the grass is green in spring, and I will teach you to ride ......a horse when the time comes."

Yuxiu was said by Zhou Ming, and couldn't help but yearn for it.

Zhou Ming saw that Yuxiu's eyes were clear, and he listened with a smile on his face, and even dug his intestines and found some interesting things about the north.

Speaking of the Northland girl's enthusiasm and boldness, when she dared to come forward to confess when she saw the man she liked, Yuxiu looked at him with a smile, "Aren't the girls in the Northland all good-looking?" ”

Zhou Ming chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said, "I have been in the military camp since I was a child, how can I have a chance to see those girls." ”

"Besides, they're not as good-looking as you."

Yuxiu burst out laughing, "Didn't you say you hadn't seen those girls?" How do you know they're not as good-looking as me? ”

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, broken, and exposed, "That, although I haven't seen it, I guessed it." You see that the little ladies in the capital are not as good-looking as you. The girl from the Northland is blown by the wind, and she must not be as good-looking as you. ”

He rarely talks sweetly, but Yuxiu is very useful.

For a woman, the praise of her sweetheart is always the most useful.

Reason is as beautiful as jade, and his heart is sweet, but his face is flushed, and he whispers, "You are talking nonsense!" "It sounds like a reproach, more like a coquette.

Zhou Ming has seen Yuxiu many times, but this little daughter is the first time he has seen it, and he can't help but hold her tighter, and he really wants to take her into his arms, but he is afraid of the sudden beauty, so he squeezes it loosely and tightly with both hands, and feels that looking at the beauty in front of him, there is nothing else to ask for in his life.
