Chapter 243 Expedition

"Since you're not going to tell me, why did you call me over?!"

Cheng Ke leaned to the rocking chair next to Zhou Jingran and asked lazily, Zhou Jingran suffocated, coughed twice, and then waved his hand and said:

"Okay, I won't let you worry, early this morning, the emperor summoned me in, Nanxiyi, it's the other way around."

Zhou Jingran said indifferently, Cheng Ke straightened up suddenly,

"The Southwest is reversed? What's wrong? How can Southwest Yi be opposed? No way!"

"What are you anxious about? There must be the wind of a general, the wind of a general!"

Zhou Jingran tapped Cheng Ke with a fan to teach him a lesson, Cheng Ke looked at Zhou Jingran with a frown, waiting for him to say,

"It was reversed after the year before the New Year, and I received the excerpt before the 15th Lantern Festival, and the emperor pressed it down, and it was the New Year's Day, besides, it was the opposite anyway, and I was not in a hurry in these days, so I had a good year first, who knew that I received an emergency report of 800 miles early this morning, and the day before yesterday, Qianzhou City was lost."

"How can Southwest Yi be opposed?"

Cheng Ke interrupted Zhou Jingran's words and asked anxiously, Zhou Jingran let out a long sigh and fell back on the rocking chair,

"A few years ago, the strong sect in the west attacked the Southwest Yi, and it was common for the western departments to harass and attack the Southwest Yi, but this time, it was said that the Southwest Yi simply followed the opposite, and the emperor was very angry.

"The strong sect has risen extremely fast in the past ten years, looting everywhere, and it can be regarded as a strong army, in a hurry, the southwest Yi is going to suffer some losses, but if it is said that it is a little reluctant, how can it be reversed? Southwest Yi will not be reversed!"

Cheng Ke said categorically, Zhou Jingran looked him up and down and said:

"Don't make an assertion like that, the world is unpredictable!"

Cheng Ke pursed his lips and nodded, Zhou Jingran stood up with the armrest of the chair, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, squinted at the sun outside the window, and turned around after a while, looked at Cheng Ke and said:

"The emperor and I recommended you to quell the rebellion, and lead the soldiers and horses of the five roads in the southwest to resist the enemy, in addition, the emperor will transfer one-third of the soldiers and horses of the three roads in the north to you, the matter is urgent, at most two or three days, you have to set off, here in the capital, the army on the southwest road is heavy with grain and grass, I will dispatch the general, you just have to rest assured."

"On the 14th, I fell into Qianzhou, and I don't know if the Qiang Sect Department has passed the Fushui, if it passes, even if I leave early the morning after tomorrow and rush there day and night, if the road goes well, the Qiang Sect Department is only afraid that it will attack Zhongxian, and the soldiers and horses of the North Third Road will be transferred to the Southwest Fifth Road, and it will be even later."

"Don't worry, when I came out, the emperor had already called the eldest brother into the palace, and the soldiers and horses on the North Third Road had to arrive within ten days. It's just that it will take some time for you to straighten out the soldiers and horses on the North Third Road. ”

Zhou Jingran sat on the rocking chair, looked at Cheng Ke, and said worriedly, Cheng Ke smiled,

"Don't worry, it won't be difficult for me, as long as you are in charge of the grain and grass, as long as you can keep up, it will not be difficult for me."

Zhou Jingran breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile,

"The grain and grass are heavy, and there is also this side of the capital, you can rest assured."

Cheng Ke let out a long sigh, fell back into the rocking chair, and sighed sadly:

"I won't be able to come back for a year!"

Zhou Jingran squinted his eyes and laughed, Cheng Ke looked at Zhou Jingran who was smiling, and said hatefully:

"I haven't had a son yet! This time, it delayed me for another year!"

"Phew!"

Zhou Jingran snorted angrily,

"Who came to me, looking for a prescription with a dead face, saying that Xiao Nuan is young and can't get pregnant and have children in the past two years? ! Hmph!"

Cheng Ke raised his hand and touched his forehead, nodded again and again and said:

"You're right, it's useless to tell you about this, I'll cry in front of the emperor!"

Zhou Jingran sighed, glared at Cheng Ke, and only breathed a sigh of relief after a while, and instructed Qingping to take the detailed map of Southwest Yi and Southwest Five Roads, and the two discussed it carefully, until after lunch, the chamberlain who passed the decree found Cheng Ke and went all the way to the palace.

Cheng Ke came out of the palace, went to King Jing's Mansion again, had dinner in King Jing's Mansion, and didn't return to Runan Palace's Mansion until Wu Zheng, went straight to the inner study, and talked to the Prince of Runan for half an hour behind closed doors before going back to Qinglian Courtyard.

Li Xiaonuan had already bathed and washed, and was wearing homely clothes and pants, leisurely crooked on the Luohan bed in the middle looking at the new book.

After listening to the rumor, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly greeted her, Cheng Ke came in with a cold body, threw the cloak to the little girl, pulled Li Xiaonuan to sit on the couch, and did not accept the tea offered by the bamboo leaves, waved her hand and retreated from the girl in the house, hugged Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:

"The Qiang Zongbu has fought in the southwest, and the first line of Kuizhou Road has been fought, and the emperor has ordered me to lead the troops, and I will set off early the day after tomorrow to ......"

Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan with reluctance in his eyes and sighed,

"It's going to take a year, I'm afraid it will take a whole year to come back!"

Li Xiaonuan looked up at Cheng Ke in amazement, and couldn't react for a while.

"What the hell is going on? How can you say that the fight will start? ”

Cheng Ke hugged Li Xiaonuan, explained the situation of Nanyi in detail, put it to her ear, and said in a low voice:

"There must be something strange in the southwest, as long as our Cheng family is good, the southwester will not rebel, there must be a reason for this."

Li Xiaonuan raised her head, looked at Cheng Ke with worried eyes, and explained in a low voice:

"The emperor let you lead the troops, is to believe in you, but also to believe in the southwest, no matter what the reason, you go, you can clearly understand, this is a trivial matter, I heard my mother say, you love to rush to the front when you fight, this trip, don't be so happy for a while, you are the commander of the army, if there is a half-star miss, the army's heart is shaken, it is **annoying, don't take risks, don't be a hero, in short, don't go to danger, you have to be safe, you can't be hurt at all!"

Cheng Ke looked down at Li Xiaonuan, who was worried, his heart was as soft as water and he couldn't lift it, so he hurriedly hugged Li Xiaonuan hard, gently comforting,

"Don't worry, it's for you, I want to be safe, you relax."

Li Xiaonuan lowered her head against Cheng Ke's chest, didn't speak for a long time, Cheng Ke smiled softly and coaxed her,

"Otherwise, you can go with me, you can see things clearly, maybe you can help me!"

"Really? Can you really go? Then I'll go with you! I'll look at the map! I'll count! I've also read a lot of military books! Maybe it can really help you!"

Li Xiaonuan suddenly became excited, pulled Cheng Ke's sleeve, and said with longing in his eyes, Cheng Ke choked into his throat in one breath, his eyes flashed, and he coughed and squeaked.

"Xiao Nuan, this ...... I'm just talking about it...... That is, there is no ...... This example...... The Emperor ......"

Li Xiaonuan's shoulders drooped, pouted and looked at Cheng Ke, seeing that Cheng Ke's heart was empty, he hurriedly hugged Li Xiaonuan and coaxed her,

"When I come back, I'll take you out to play, just the two of us, let's go to Tai'an Mansion to climb the mountain, after the mountain, it is the sea, when the sea fish of more than one person is dragged down from the boat, it is still alive, and there are sea urchins, the best to eat raw, delicious, come back...... I'll take you when I get back. ”

"When did you speak, when did you count?! Forget it, you just need to come back safely and well."

Li Xiaonuan sighed, looked up at Cheng Ke, and said in a low voice:

"Tomorrow I will pack up your things, you rush over, you must be in a hurry to march, clothes or something, you only have enough to use on the road, the rest, I will let the porter in the carriage and horse shop take a trip, send you over, it will be regarded as a business, and it will not cause gossip."

Cheng Ke nodded again and again, Li Xiaonuan pushed Cheng Ke into the clean room to bathe, stood in the room by himself, was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered something.

Cheng Ke came out of the bath and washed, the two lay on the bed, Li Xiaonuan raised his arms, looked at Cheng Ke and said hesitantly:

"In the past two months, I have some things, maybe I want to use people, can you send someone to use it for me before you leave?"

"Well, what are you going to do? Just let Ping An do it, he is familiar with people in the capital, and even in various yamen, they all give him a little thin noodles. ”

Cheng Ke replied casually, Li Xiaonuan bit his lip lightly, and said in a low voice:

"I can't do this safely, your person in the other courtyard, lend me one."

Cheng Ke turned his head and looked at Li Xiaonuan in surprise,

"The people in the other courtyard? You know...... Ahem, what are you doing with the people in the other courtyard? ”

"Maybe you can use it, maybe you don't need it, but I'm afraid that if you use it, just be prepared."

Li Xiaonuan said a little vaguely,

"It's all small things, no big things, how can I have anything big? However, you'll have to pick someone you can rely on for me. ”

Cheng Ke blinked, looked at Li Xiaonuan suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and nodded,

"Tomorrow, I'll let Qianyue come in to meet you, and after I leave, if there's anything, you can tell him directly."

Li Xiaonuan was overjoyed, and nodded again and again, Qianyue was the spy leader of the other courtyard, and it was naturally better for him to let her tell him.

At dawn the next day, Cheng Ke went out, rushed to the palace to receive the order, transferred the troops to the military department, handed over to the household department, and Zhou Jingran was together, carefully discussing the grain and grass and other major matters, and was busy for a whole day, had dinner in King Jing's mansion, and was about to rush back, when he suddenly remembered what he promised Li Xiaonuan the night before, hesitated, looked at Zhou Jingran and asked:

"After I'm gone, there's something I have to ask you to help with...... Help. ”

"You say it's what it is."

Zhou Jingran agreed, Cheng Ke picked the corners of his mouth, smiled and sighed and said:

"Yesterday, Xiao Nuan and I borrowed someone from another courtyard to use, I asked her what was going on, she didn't want to go into details, she only said that maybe she could use it, maybe she didn't need it, I couldn't bear to refute her, second, you know, Xiao Nuan is the most lawless in her bones, even if I don't agree to her, what she wants to do, she will do it herself, it's better to just agree to her, and I know what she wants to do."
