As soon as Gu Chen heard that Song Yu was coming, he immediately knew his intention, and even touched the little girl's face and said, "Ying'er, go into the house to find your mother, my father has business to discuss." ”

The little girl didn't make a fuss, nodded obediently, and then ran to the inner room with her little short legs.

Gu Chen saw her enter the house, then stood up and said to the porter, "Invite someone to the study in the outer courtyard." ”

The doorman answered, and went out quickly.

Gu Chen walked towards the outer study.

Qin Niang naturally heard the movement outside, and immediately her eyes became sour again, she didn't expect that their peaceful days had only passed for two or three years, and they were about to part so soon.

Moreover, on the battlefield on the line of life and death, this time he was attacked from the left and right, and he didn't even lose his life, so it would be false to say that he was not worried.

However, she also knew that before the major events of the family and the country, personal happiness was a small matter, and she couldn't stop him or stop him.

"Mother, are you crying?" The little girl's soft and glutinous voice came, and the skirt was still tightly pulled by a small hand.

Qin Niang took a deep breath and forcibly squeezed out a smile: "No, Ying'er is good, go over there and play by yourself for a while, my mother has to pack up my things." ”

The little girl nodded, and sat down on the low stool obediently, fiddling with her doll beside her.

The doll was brought back by Gu Chen from the West, the doll had golden hair, and the little girl played with its braids back and forth, and she didn't feel bored.

Qin Niang saw that she was very well-behaved and sat aside without making noise or trouble, and she was very comforted in her heart, thinking about her previous life, she never heard her call her mother until she died, but she always knew that her girl was a very well-behaved and sensible child, and she was also very warm-hearted and never caused chaos.

Retracting the gaze on her daughter, Qin Niang began to pack up Gu Chen's things again, he was here to fight, presumably the outfits they were preparing to travel a few days ago would not be needed.

She has to prepare some practical ones for him, it is said that there are many smoking barriers in Miaojiang, and she has to go to Dr. Zhang to prepare some more antidote drugs for her, and Mama Jin also has some self-defense medicines, she has to prepare more for him.

This night, Song Yu has not returned to the palace, he has been staying in Gu's house, discussing the military situation with Gu Chen all night, early the next morning, Song Yu led Gu Chen to the military camp, where there are topographic maps and simulated sand tables he drew when he fought at the border pass.

This time the incident was urgent, and there was little time for Gu Chen to prepare, so Song Yu could only tell Gu Chen what he knew, 1510, for fear of missing any details, he even made the main points into a booklet, and even drew a detailed topographic map for him.

And Qin Niang has not been idle these days, she asked Gu Chen to prepare a lot of necessary medicines, and also sent the drawings of the new weapons drawn before to the iron shop, so that a few small first guns could be made overnight, in addition, she also made several more hidden weapons in case of unpreparedness.

Due to the urgency of the border war, so Gu Chen did not stay in Beijing for much, after the army, he led the army to set off, the emperor was ill, sent the prince out of the city to see him off, Song Yu led the hundred officials to send Gu Chen and his party to Shili Pavilion outside.

That Miao Jiang's proton was naturally escorted to the army, and he didn't even have the treatment of being in a prisoner's car, he was tied into a dumpling with a tie and dragged away behind a horse.

Obviously, for the Miao Jiang people who have repeatedly rebelled, the soldiers and ordinary people in the east hate them, and this time they dragged this person to the front line, which was originally a matter of life or death.

Even if the prince of Miao Jiang died on the road, they would drag the corpse to the front of the battle to kill the morale of the Miao people.

It's just that Miao Jiang Proton, who should have been embarrassed, stood in front of tens of thousands of troops, but the corners of his mouth always had a smile on his lips, as if he was the victor at the moment, and everyone was his prisoner.

"Laugh, laugh what laugh! I'll see if you can laugh for a while! The soldier in charge of guarding him sneered, raised his hand and whipped it.

For the despicable Miao Jiang people, he really hated it, if it wasn't for the Miao people who surrendered and rebelled, but instead descended again, they also left their hometowns and went to the battlefield again to throw their heads and blood on the battlefield.

Thinking that after their death, there would be many widows in the family, these soldiers felt a burst of anger, if it weren't for Gu Chen's order to let him take two more breaths and be tortured more, they really wanted to kill him with a knife now.

"Laugh at your poor character in the eastern country, so many countries want to unite to attack you, it can be seen that you have done too much evil on weekdays, so that everyone can't stand it." The proton was whipped, and the corners of his mouth were smug with a smug smile, "Even if you kill me, it will be useless to my father, and he will not stop for me." ”

"Shut up!" The soldier lifted his foot and kicked at the proton.

That proton has been locked up in the annex in the capital for the past three years, and he has not been locked, but it is also restricting his freedom, to put it bluntly, he really can't do anything except eat and sleep, and to put it bluntly, it is no different from raising a pig.

Therefore, after being raised like a pig for three years, even if this prince of Miao Jiang was originally strong and strong, he was raised a lot of deficits in the past three years, and there were several layers of fat on his body.

Therefore, when the soldier kicked him, his body flew out diagonally, and finally fell heavily on the ground, and others felt pain when they heard it.

However, this Prince Miaojiang is obviously also a ruthless person, even if he is beaten, there is still a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think, why did my father send me to Donglin to be a proton?" Hahaha, you won't know until you die. ”

After speaking, he stopped speaking, but sat on the ground for a while, and then slowly got up, but at an angle that others could not see, a smile of unknown meaning rose at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Niang stood in the pavilion with Ying'er in her arms, watching Gu Chen's army run towards the southeast after drinking the practice wine from a distance.

"Mother, is that Daddy?" The little girl stretched out a small white hand and pointed to the figure in the marshal's armor at the front of the army and asked.

"Yes, Daddy is going to fight the bad guys, and it may take a long time to come back, and Ying'er is not allowed to cry at night." Qin Niang touched her daughter's hair and said softly.

The little girl blinked with a pair of big watery eyes and asked ignorantly, "Then can't he come back tonight?" ”

Qin Niang shook her head: "He can't come back tonight, and he can't come back tomorrow night, in short, he has to go for a long, long time, Ying'er must be well-behaved, can't make trouble, you know?" ”

When the little girl heard this, she couldn't see her father for a long time, a layer of mist immediately appeared in a pair of big eyes, she pursed her mouth, and tried her best to hold back her tears, although she was very reluctant to her father, but her mother said that if she was not well-behaved, her father would not come back.

Therefore, although she was very aggrieved, she still tried her best to hold back, she snorted, and said in a milky voice: "That mother, if Ying'er is obedient, can Daddy come back sooner?" ”

Qin Niang nodded: "Yes, he is the same as Ying'er, he is reluctant to Ying'er, he will come back as soon as possible, he said that he wants to take Ying'er out to play, and he will not talk or count." ”

When the little girl heard this, she suddenly became happy again, she nodded, put her hands around Qin Niang's neck, put her little face on Qin Niang's cheek, looked at the remaining billowing smoke, and said: "Daddy can't see anyone anymore, mother, let's go back." ”

Qin Niang looked in the direction of the half-disappeared figure in the distance, and couldn't retract her gaze for a long time.

Even in her previous life, when Gu Chen went out to do business, she had never stood here so sadly and reluctantly like at this moment.

"Let's go, let's go back." After a long time, Qin Niang took a deep breath, carried her daughter out of the pavilion, and got into the carriage on the side of the road.

She thought, she still has a lot of things to do, at least, she wants to make the weapon map she has made in the past few days to the iron shop to step up the construction, now that the war has been lifted on a large scale, the more weapons the better, she doesn't have so much time here to have a long love for children, sad spring and autumn.

She should be his strong backing and ensure that he has military supplies and supplies in reserve, so that he can solve those foreign enemies as soon as possible and return triumphantly.

After thinking about this, Qin Niang cheered up again, the comfortable life of the past few years made her a little lazy, even those firearm improvement drawings, she thought of it before drawing two strokes, and now, she can't be lazy anymore.

If she is lazy, what she loses will be the lives of countless soldiers in front of her.

Gu Chen set off, General Fang and Cheng Anhou also set off to the south and north respectively, thanks to the fact that Gu Chen has been taking care of the ironware shop with his own hands in the past few years, and has been spending a lot of silver in it, so when everyone sets off at this time, they can bring some firearms and new weapons with them.

It's just that the front is in jeopardy, and these officials who stay in Beijing are still thinking about marrying their own girls into the royal family at this time.

After a year, the seventh prince will also be eighteen, and it is time to get married.

And Song Yu, who is the master of the East Palace, is more like a big piece of fat, which has aroused the eyes of major officials, and they are eager to paste it one by one.

However, Song Yu remained motionless, as if he had not received all kinds of explicit and hinted from these officials, and still helped the emperor deal with political affairs in an orderly manner.

The seventh prince Song Ting is also eighteen years old and can participate in the government affairs, so Song Yu handed over the matter of raising grain and grass to him to host, and Song Ting is also very dedicated, if he doesn't understand, he is not ashamed to ask, and he gets started quickly.

The emperor's health is getting weaker and weaker, and those ministers are afraid that if the emperor dies one day, then the marriage of the two princes in Beijing will be delayed for another three years, so they are in a hurry, and they can't wait to hold their own girls in front of these two princes with their own hands, and let them quickly pick one.

No, it's okay to pick a lot of them, after all, the prince can have side concubines.

Everyone thought like this, and the opportunity came.
