55 Vultures
There are 200,000 forbidden troops inside and outside Jinling City, both the military disaster is not known, the emperor will mobilize all the troops who can participate in the war in the left and right provinces to gather in the capital, there are many lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are Yangtze River moats, the western expeditionary army has been in the desert for a long time, should not be used to water warfare, and it may fall into a long-term stalemate when fighting.
Ling Xiang called Gong Along, who was accompanying the wedding attendant and handling the carriage and horses, and told him to hurry back to his parents' house to inform his father to buy food, and asked the family to come over to find an excuse to call him back.
She has a lot of marriages here, thought about it, left and right in the boudoir has nothing to do, close the door, rummage through the cabinet to find a few fine cotton jackets, dismantle the placket, and together with the Pindi and the zither, the detachable pearls, the larger denomination of silver tickets and fish scales are sewn into them one by one.
The two maids didn't know what to do, so they asked again and again, but Ling Xiang only replied: "There is going to be a war." ”
They were so frightened that they couldn't squeak, and after finishing the young lady's work, they returned to the room and hurriedly sewed a little of their own private silver into the cotton clothes.
Ah Long brought back the letter from the Ling Mansion, saying that it was Lian's report of the accident.
Su Jinhong is now serving in the military department, but he still hasn't returned, and Ling Xiang didn't want to wait for him, so he took the letter and went to see Concubine Sun.
When Concubine Sun heard that Lian was sick, she said, "Do you want to hand the sign of the palace and enter the palace and ask a doctor to go with you to see your mother-in......-law?"
"Grandmother, has you forgotten that my family runs a medicine hall? There are people from the Taiyi family in the hall, and there are all kinds of medicinal materials, so don't bother. Ling Xiang hurriedly excused himself.
When Concubine Sun heard this, she sighed: "It's been lively for a while, but today I'm going to leave together, remember to come back early when my mother recovers." ”
Seeing that she always treated her like a granddaughter, Ling Makeup was moved in her heart, kowtowed respectfully, and then said goodbye, thought about it, and only went to tell the Cai Lan sisters that she wanted to live in her mother's house, Cai Ling, for fear that she would be too careful, so she didn't hear about it.
The Lan sisters, Su Jue, were wise and wise, and when they saw that she was in a hurry to return to their parents' house, they immediately moved into King Lu's mansion.
Ling Jiao easily returned to her parents' house, and when she inquired, it turned out that the family had already gotten some information outside, and sent someone to buy a lot of food and medicinal materials separately to prepare. met with his parents, thought that the situation was unpredictable, no longer concealed it, and told the truth about Su Jinhong's marriage to himself.
Ling Dongcheng paused and said, "I didn't think it was good when your mother said that he borrowed 200,000 silver, and if that's the case, what are your plans?"
Seeing that her husband was guilty, Lian wanted her daughter to marry for the second time, and she felt sorry for herself, and she kept wiping her tears from the side.
Ling Xiang wanted her to cry and vent, otherwise such a big thing would not suffocate her mother, and she would not be persuaded to do so.
Ling Dongcheng has experienced many hardships in the end, and he calmed down for a while: "Now the situation is undecided, if Emperor Chunxi can hold on to Jinling, you have to fake the phoenix and make plans slowly, with the Zhuang Wangfu as a backer, with your father's ability to do business, it is not difficult to earn back the money, but if the city is broken, Su Jinhong is a thief who helps the abuse, how can we live?"
Ling Xiang frowned slightly, complained in his heart, and told Su Jinhong's abacus, his father still wanted to continue to let himself fake the phoenix, but after thinking about it, this statement is certainly not popular, but he is already a second marriage, and the other party is a relative of the emperor, and even if he talks about peace, his mother can't afford to lose this face, what better way can he be?
I can't help but feel troubled, depressed in my chest, and at a loss.
The father and daughter talked for a while, Ling Xiang comforted her mother a few words, and Ling Dongcheng asked her to go back to the room to rest first.
Lian Ruru asked, "Won't you go to the partition wall to say hello to your mother-in-law?"
Ling Dongcheng glared: "What else do you want? It's not her serious daughter-in-law, look at the good family you promised!"
Lian couldn't help but cry again.
Ling Makeup was upset, and two words of comfort to her mother came out.
Ling Dongcheng complained for a moment, his heart moved, and he went to find Lian Xian to discuss it quietly, and make some arrangements outside Ling's mansion.
Ling Xiang had dinner, reading a book in the house, suddenly heard an abnormal noise outside, at first I thought that the cold wind was raging, but the movement was quite loud, it seemed that someone was shaking the branches and leaves outside the window, and then it was like the wind blew down the wisteria stand and rose stand outside, and even the window screen was raised suddenly, she was surprised: "Flying kite, pindi, look at what's going on?"
Because Chu Long was given by Concubine Sun, this time when she returned to her parents' house, Ling Makeup only brought four maids to marry.
The maids agreed, and someone went to check, but the strange sound was still not extinguished, and the movement was quite loud, accompanied by the "fluttering" flapping wings and the "cooing" wailing of the beasts.
The kite came in with a curtain, the light outside the window flickered, and then the screams of the maids rang out.
Ling Xiang hurriedly went out to look, but saw Pindi and the waiter pointing to the garden, one covering his mouth, the other trembling, almost sticking to the wall.
Ling Xiang took the lantern and took a look, only to see a behemoth appear in the small courtyard, constantly flapping its wings, afraid of being a zhang wide when it unfolded, dark down feathers on the top of the head, and the feathers under the neck were clearly layered, with black claws and white tails, and a falcon hooked beak, which was very fierce and fierce, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The kite half-leaned on the master, and kept asking, "Girl, what kind of monster is this?"
"Don't make a fuss!" Ling Xiang read all over the medical books, fortunately, everything in the world has the possibility of medicine, that is, this thing is rare, and it is also recorded in medical books.
The book says: "The eagle is as big as an eagle, with a long tail and short wings, and an earthy yellow color, and an eagle is fierce and powerful, hovering in the air, and seeing everything in detail." ”
He also said, "The one who carves the most is called a vulture, and it can soar thousands of miles in the sky." ”
This big bird, which fills half of the small courtyard and easily tosses the inverted flower stand, is a little sorry for it if it is not accurately called a vulture.
When the giant vulture saw someone, it actually stopped struggling, gathered its wings, bent its feet, and stared at the master and servant of Ling Makeup like lightning, as if on guard.
"This is the Vulture ......of the West," Ling Makeup and the maids explained, even more strange. It is impossible for such a creature to appear naturally in the south, and if you look closely, you can see that there are copper pipes tied to the top of the vulture's claws, and it is clear that this vulture has been raised by someone as some kind of special means of communication.
"Look, girl, this bird has been shot with an arrow, and I think it fell into our yard in pain. Pindi pointed to a piece of white feather peeking out from under the eagle's wings.
When the vulture heard her speak, she shrank back slightly, and then the feathers on her neck stood up, and suddenly showed a fierce color, as if she were about to pounce on her at any moment to eat people.
Feizheng hurriedly pulled Ling's sleeve: "Girl, come into the house, let's call someone to catch it." ”
The vulture's attack was instantaneous, and it leapt forward like lightning, aiming at the kite, and it was about to bite off a piece of her flesh.
The kite was so frightened that it screamed and fell to the ground and rolled and crawled to hide.
It was obviously not practical for a weak female streamer to subdue such a bird of prey, and Ling Xiang was also swept to the ground by the wind brought up by this beast, although it seemed that it was difficult to fly again after being injured, but even if the man outside was called to save it, maybe someone in the courtyard would destroy it.
Seeing that it was only chasing the kite viciously, Ling Xiang shouted urgently: "Brother Vulture can understand what we are saying?
The vulture heard her speak, and his body froze, and a paw slammed into the kite's calf.
