Chapter 198: Dark Clouds
At this time, the dark clouds scattered everywhere in the sky were like a huge curtain, dispelling the light that was lucky enough to remain in Jinyu's heart, and at this time she looked at Zhao Ke and couldn't say anything decent.
"Yu'er, you have to be stronger, at this time, your father-in-law is in the midst of a catastrophe in his life, if Jinyu at this time you also collapse because of this, how can it be good." Jinyu naturally knew that Zhao Ke's words were very pertinent, but now in this situation, Jinyu was already uneasy, and how could he really do what he had, but Jinyu still nodded and said: "I naturally know, after all, I am a person who wants to be a mother, and I naturally know to take care of my body." After listening to this, Zhao Ke nodded with satisfaction, took Jinyu's hand, and left after saying goodbye to the Xu family.
The two returned to the mansion, and Qingque waited at the lintel for the two to see Jinyu, and said softly: "Princess, at this time, the fifth lady's maid Yan'er is waiting for you." Jinyu suddenly wondered, what was the matter with this person looking for herself at this time, and after Jinyu entered the house, the girl who looked very thin said: "Princess, my aunt just asked me to ask you something, that is, the young master of the He family who is rumored to have a net weight, what is the news this time?" ”
Jinyu was a little puzzled, what did this Zhang Jinsu want this time, but when she saw the little girl looking timid, she said: "I have unfortunately died on the battlefield." When the little girl heard this, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly saluted Jinyu and left. Jinyu looked at the figure of this little girl leaving, and suddenly understood a little, if you say that this Zhang Jinsu is still a woman after all, that woman is not pregnant with spring, Jinyu always thought that this scheming woman did not have a loved one, but I didn't expect that love is such a thing, it is so indistinguishable from right and wrong, Jinyu sighed faintly, Zhao Ke looked at this Jinyu comfortingly, gently hugged her shoulder, and said. At this point, you should be tired, so how about going back to rest? ”
Jinyu nodded, she did feel a little dizzy in her head, so she really should take a break. After all, Jinyu is no longer alone at this time.
Ruiyang Palace, Yan'er gently pushed the door, looked at Zhang Jinsu with a haggard face, and said, "The slave maid just went to see the princess, the princess said. The princess said that the son of the He family was indeed dead. ”
"Really dead?" Zhang Jinsu seemed a little incredulous. Yan'er looked at Zhang Jinsu's pale face, and didn't know what to say about it, but cautiously went out from the door and left this luxurious room, at this time there was only Zhang Jinsu left in the house, this pale woman was full of tears, he always thought that he hated He Su, but at this time. Only then did she realize that she was still the weak and bullying Zhang Jinsu. Outside the window, the clouds were thick, the sky was gloomy, Zhang Jinsu came out of the house, looked at the branches shivering in the cold winter wind, and clenched her hands, at this moment, she actually felt that she was fearless.
The battlefield is changing, and Xie Xun originally thought that he was a very experienced general, but he was just a new battlefield. Unlike before, a new type of weapon appeared on the battlefield, and unlike the cold steel, the gunpowder was even more dangerous. At this time, most of the main force of the Xiang army has been disabled and most of them are disabled, and the war is in crisis at this time, but the reinforcements of the imperial court have not arrived, and at this time they are all supported by some elite troops of the original Northwest Army, but even at this time, there is no way to really defeat the Huainan army that has undergone strict training. Xie Xun is over sixty years old, and that kind of golden iron horse is no longer too attractive to him. He just wanted to end this war as soon as possible, and he felt that this war, and when it was over, he would die soon. At this time, for some reason, he suddenly remembered Chen Xiucheng in the distance, a long time ago, when they were young, they had beaten this mountain with their bare hands, but at this time, Xie Xun looked at the low sky, and for some reason, a sadness welled up in his heart.
The rise and fall of family and state affairs, turn around and be empty.
I don't know how many people died in this sinful land, at this time the news of the death of the pioneer **** has spread throughout the army, Xie Xun frowned, if he thought that the unknown person died in battle, forget it, this He Su is the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Anling, and the grandson of Zheng Guogong.
"Marshal, the front line has been ambushed by the enemy again." The scout saw a terrible explosion on the high ground on the edge of the battlefield, and the stumps of many soldiers flew everywhere, and it looked like hell on earth.
Xie Xun sighed, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was used to this kind of thing, he said tiredly: "The whole army retreats, hang up the battle free card." ”
"Now it can only be like this, if it goes on like this, our army has not been killed by those mines, and we will be scared to death first." A man who looked like a military advisor said, Xie Xun shook his head, marching combat is the most taboo two-front battle, I got the news, at this time the northwest has already started a war, presumably it will be the same as the gunpowder attack we encountered, the northwest terrain is flat, but you can avoid the attack of those gunpowder with fast horses, and the climate there will not be as easy to bury gunpowder as here, which is a little good, but the nomadic tribe of Liao is very good at fighting immediately, this time I am afraid that the battlefield on both sides will not be too easy to fight, and the supplies will not be able to keep up when the time comes, I'm afraid that Da Zhou, who has just settled down, will have to go through some difficulties again.
The military advisor sighed and said: "It's not a long-term plan at this time, let's think about how to get through the current difficulties first, the money and grain distributed by the imperial court are very small, so I have to borrow grain like big families anymore, although these big families in the south of the Yangtze River are extremely luxurious, but they are all extremely stingy, don't tell you, I have given this old face away, but it is still a drop in the bucket, those iron roosters, it is really a dime." ”
"If it really doesn't work, I'll be like the emperor's request to see who is ignoring the country at such a time." Xie Xun said, the military advisor smiled mockingly and said: "Regardless of the country, it is better, at this time, there are still some people who are making a fortune in the country, with my investigation, it seems that some people are selling grain and grass to the rebels at a high price." Xie Xun was stunned when he heard this, and then said angrily: "Give me a thorough investigation, find out who you are, I will definitely let these grandchildren be beheaded!" ”
"Qi family" Xie Xun was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Don't make a public announcement about this matter. Hearing this, the military advisor nodded knowingly and said: "The subordinates naturally know, but at this time, they are still looking for the prince to deal with it properly, if something happens, the world will be really in chaos." ”
Xie Xun naturally knew what the military advisor said, but this matter really can't be too hasty, whether it is the Wang family or the Zhang family, no family can be compared with the Qi family, they are already rich and rival the country, but why should it be so. (To be continued.) )
