At dinner, Yang's, Li Youwei, and Wu Sanmei all came back, and they were all in a good mood, obviously, they should have a good result today.

However, everyone waited for a while, but Gu Hengbo didn't come, which made Yang frown, and beckoned to the personal maid: "Lian'er, go and see, what's wrong with Mei'er?" Is it unwell? ”

Xu Changqing's face was a little hot for a while, and he hurriedly smiled: "Sister Mei'er seems to be really unwell, so she waited in my study for a while at noon and went to rest." Mother, I've asked the kitchen to set aside dinner for Sister Mei'er, let's eat first. ”

As soon as Xu Changqing said this, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became a little weird.

Especially Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, a girl and three daughters in Yishui, looked at Xu Changqing's eyes a little wrong.

Chu Xue, Xian'er, Kou Baimen, and Peony also bit their red lips hard, although they didn't dare to speak, they all looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing was also a little big for a while.

For the afternoon this afternoon, Xu Changqing stayed in the study with Gu Hengbo, a little dark......

At this time, this state was also expected by the two of them.

Originally, Gu Hengbo didn't want Xu Changqing to express his position, after all, then she would also be pushed to the forefront.

That's where things get awkward.

The main mother is young.

In case the eldest son is conceived by the concubine, then, this thing is not fun.

However, it has reached this level, Xu Changqing obviously can't admit it, and push Gu Hengbo to the front and let her endure the wind and rain.

Seeing that everyone was a little wrong, Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, the food is good today." I have asked Sister Mei and them to collect more sea cucumbers in Liaoxi, and when they come back, we will be able to add a good dish again." ”

How could the Yang family not understand Xu Changqing's thoughts at this time, and suddenly glanced at Xu Changqing angrily.

However, it was his own baby son, the baby son was enlightened, and he smiled busily: "Come on, come on, since Mei'er is not feeling well, let's recuperate, let's eat first." ”

Yang spoke, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, and Yishui Girl, even if they were unhappy, they didn't dare to disobey their mother-in-law's wishes, so they could only eat first.

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly relaxed, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, but he was helpless in his heart, could it be that he really wanted to do that beast thing?

In fact, it is normal for women to have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen in this era, which is the mainstream of society.

However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, Xu Changqing still gave up this idea, the eldest husband has to do something and not do something, and he must consider Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei's bodies.

The girl is ripe, but it's a pity......

……

After a little chaos, because of Yang's deliberate adjustment and control, the atmosphere of dinner gradually relaxed.

But at this time, there was a maid outside suddenly reported: "Master, old lady, Gonggong Li, the prison guard of Zhanhua, has come over, and now he has arrived in the guest hall." ”

"Grandpa Li is here?"

Xu Changqing's brows suddenly furrowed.

Yang, Li Youwei, and Wu Sanmei also became nervous all of a sudden, they obviously knew the seriousness of this matter.

Gonggong Li had already reached a tacit understanding with Xu Changqing, and there was no major matter, how could he rush to Haicheng from Zhanhua?

"Changqing, are you alright?"

Yang looked at Xu Changqing with concern.

"Oh, it's fine. Mother, the child goes and sees, and will come back immediately. ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing put down his chopsticks and strode away.

The girls at the table were also distracted, and the delicious food was no longer tasteful, and they began to wait anxiously.

Xu Changqing came to the guest hall, Gonggong Li had just entered the door and sat down, the maid had not served tea yet, as soon as he saw Xu Changqing coming, Gonggong Li hurriedly got up and smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle, miscellaneous family, miscellaneous family uninvited, it's really a nuisance." ”

This old eunuch's positioning is still very accurate, and he knows who are his food and clothing parents.

Looking at Father-in-law Li's attitude, Xu Changqing relaxed slightly, as long as Father-in-law Li was not impatient, if he had to come out of the moth, the problem would not be difficult to solve.

"Hehe, father-in-law, what is our relationship, this is far away. How about it, these days are still going well in Zhanhua, so how is Zhuangzi, can you live comfortably? ”

Xu Changqing looked at Gonggong Li with a smile and strode down on the main seat.

Of course, Gonggong Li understood Xu Changqing's attitude towards this action, and said with a smile: "It's okay." Uncle, this matter is really annoying to you and Dong Ye, the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family is a little embarrassed. ”

Dong Lifu's previous Zhuangzi had been given to Gonggong Li at this time.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, each determined the attitude of both parties, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

Gonggong Li also showed his intention with a bitter face: "Uncle, the thieves in the Central Plains are too fierce, they have been besieging Kaifeng for almost a month, and the king of Zhou has sent several letters for help to the imperial court, the emperor has thought about it for a long time, and decided, let, let you send troops to rescue Kaifeng......"

"Rescue Kaifeng?"

Xu Changqing frowned.

He had already expected this.

The Central Plains is very close to Shandong, and Emperor Chongzhen will definitely worry about him, but Xu Changqing didn't expect this matter to be so urgent, and now it's only May, and Emperor Chongzhen can't help it.

Gonggong Li frowned at Xu Changqing, and he didn't dare to breathe for a while, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle, the emperor, the emperor really can't help it." The elites of the nine sides can't move, and there are almost no available troops around the Central Plains, so they can only ...... I'm sorry for you to come to the rescue......"

As he spoke, Gonggong Li took out a secret decree from his cuff and handed it to Xu Changqing: "Uncle, this is a secret decree sent by the emperor the day before yesterday." ”

Xu Changqing opened the secret decree and looked at it, his brows furrowed even tighter.

At this time, it was the third time that Li Zicheng had surrounded Kaifeng, and he had not been beaten down the previous two times, mainly because King Zhou was better than King Heng, and he was willing to break the wealth, while Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu, and Huang Shu's gang of people still had combat strength.

Even, at the beginning of last year, when Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng for the first time, he was blinded in one eye by Chen Yongfu's son Chen De with an arrow, and Chen Yongfu also exonerated the stain of guarding Luoyang and King Fu being cooked, and was promoted from deputy chief soldier to chief officer.

If history has not changed, this time, Li Zicheng still did not take Kaifeng, but in the end, it caused Huang Shu to dig the mouth of the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng.

If it was when the model army had not really formed an army before, Xu Changqing would definitely not have been able to go to Kaifeng to rescue, and he would not have that strength at all.

Even if he had to be ordered, Xu Changqing estimated that he would have to walk for three months on the road to deal with the situation.

But at this time, the model army has been established, and the nail of the ghost master has also been removed, and there is no existence that can threaten Xu Changqing in the territory of the Shandong Left Association for the time being.

Moreover, it won't be long before Zhang Hongqiang and Wang Hongyang will come back from Liaodi, and there is no need to worry about the defense of Haicheng.

Although Li Zicheng is known as gathering more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of people at this time, he only ran out of Shangluo Mountain the year before last, not to mention anything else, even if it is his old camp, the foundation has not really taken shape now.

This is a great opportunity to train!

However, the Central Plains is not as good as Liaoxi, and Xu Changqing is definitely not afraid of going to the battlefield, but what he is afraid of is that the baggage materials cannot be guaranteed.

Xu Changqing's state at this time was actually training while walking.

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't respond to this matter immediately, cold sweat oozed from Gonggong Li's forehead, and what he was most afraid of might happen.

If Xu Changqing didn't go to the Central Plains to participate in the war, then he couldn't get rid of the big hat that was unfavorable to the prison army.

Even if he sticks to Xu Changqing's great light, he already has a net worth of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and hundreds of slaves, but he is ...... It's hard to have the life to enjoy it again......

could only cry and say: "Uncle, this matter, the miscellaneous family also knows that this matter is a little urgent, but the emperor can't help it." As long as you go to war, the miscellaneous family will do their best to protect your requirements. ”

Xu Changqing was waiting for Gonggong Li's words, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I, Xu Changqing, am the emperor's soldier, and the emperor's blade is where the blade goes, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I, Xu Changqing, have no hesitation!" However, father-in-law, you also know that marching and fighting is not a child's play, and when you go to the Central Plains, there is a serious shortage of manpower on this side. ”

Gonggong Li instantly understood what Xu Changqing meant, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this matter is easy to say, how much labor do you need, the miscellaneous family will definitely try their best to help you coordinate." ”

"Twenty thousand. With 5,000 more carts, will my father-in-law be able to do it? ”

"This ......"

Gonggong Li suddenly swallowed with difficulty.

He knew that Xu Changqing had a lot of appetite, but how could he have thought that Xu Changqing's appetite was so big, it was completely a lion's mouth......

Xu Changqing smiled: "Father-in-law, it will definitely cost money to fight, but the emperor treats me like a mountain, and I can pay half of these military expenses." ”

Gonggong Li breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are loyal to the country, and the miscellaneous family will definitely report to the emperor truthfully." With 20,000 people and 5,000 cars, the miscellaneous family will definitely buy it for you within half a month! ”

He discussed many details with Gonggong Li and determined the time to send troops, Gonggong Li went down to rest, and Xu Changqing also fell into thought.

Frankly speaking, Xu Changqing really didn't want to fight the exile army.

None of them.

A bunch of poor ghosts.

There is no benefit in winning, and you have to lose the capital.

However, Xu Changqing couldn't help but go!

The sages said: "If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world!" ”

As a general of the Ming Dynasty, how can he cower and retreat at the time of such a national crisis?

Especially Li Zicheng has not really become a force at this time, and he is within the range that can be suppressed, if he wins the battle of Zhuxian Town and exterminates Sun Chuanting and Ding Qirui, then Xu Changqing will not be able to beat him for a while.

The most important thing is that this battle of Kaifeng has made many careerists come out, especially Huang Shu, the official of Kaifeng, who actually dug up the mouth of the Yellow River and made all the people miserable!

This is something Xu Changqing must not bear!

This time, the dispatch of troops is scheduled for late May, and they can arrive on the battlefield at the end of June or early July, which means that Xu Changqing still has half a month of training time in Haicheng, plus the time on the road, under the veterans leading the new soldiers, the combat strength of the model army is still guaranteed.

……

After more than half an hour, Xu Changqing returned to the canteen, but found that Yang, Li Youwei, and Wu Sanmei were still waiting for him.

The meal was the same as when I left.

This made Xu Changqing's heart a little cold, and he couldn't stop surging out a stream of heat.

Although these girls are sometimes torn apart and petty, in the final analysis, they are just some little fun, they are all their own family members, relatives!

"Why are you still waiting for me, the food is cold? Didn't you eat it first? ”

Xu Changqing said with a smile.

Although the voice was not loud, the power of the head of the family was already undoubted, and the weakness of the heart with Gu Hengbo before had long disappeared

Here, in this land, he is the head of the family, the true king!

He can indulge and tolerate these girls, but he definitely can't do it without rules.

Li Youwei hurriedly said: "Xu Lang, are you okay?" What is Grandpa Li looking for you? ”

She actually didn't want to bring this kind of topic to the dinner table and ruin the atmosphere, but at this time, she was really worried about Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled: "It's okay." The Wandering Army is making a lot of trouble in Kaifeng, and the Son of Heaven wants me to rescue Kaifeng. ”

"......"

The women at the table fell silent.

Who would have thought that just a few days after settling down, the good days had just begun, and Xu Changqing was going to war again.

Xu Changqing suddenly found that the atmosphere at this time was not a bad thing, it was the time to establish rules and confirm the majesty of his family master!

At the same time, it is time to find something to do for these girls, otherwise, they will stay in the house every day, and they will have nothing to do except tear up.
