Five days passed quickly, the grain and grass were ready, Qin Tian Jian chose an auspicious day, the emperor sacrificed to the temple, and the army was ready to go on the expedition.

Qing'er waited for Zhang Ning to put on the armor, the silk silk was not tied yet, tears slipped down one by one, she sniffed, and said in a nasal voice: "Childe, can't you go?" ”

In the past two days, Qing'er secretly wiped her tears from time to time, Zhang Ning just didn't see it, but she couldn't help it at this time and said a word.

"It's okay, don't worry." Zhang Ning tied the silk silk himself, took the cloak and put it on, and said, "The son is afraid of death, and you don't know it." I will definitely return safely. ”

"Then let the slave and maid go out with the son, the son is outside, and no one is waiting for him." Qing'er said expectantly. She has never left Childe's side, Childe went to such a dangerous place, and she went for months, how could she do it?

Zhang Ning still has a good impression of this loyal little girl, and has been waiting by his side for the past few months, he is even more careful than his own mother in his previous life, but it is impossible to take her on the expedition. He said: "You take good care of your home, and wait for my son to come back." ”

He went out with the car, and his father Yang Yong guarded Datong again, and there were only servants in the house. He didn't want to ask the clansmen to help take care of it, after all, he was not really Zhang Ning, and he had no contact with the Yang family's side branches for a few months, but the servants were together every day and were closer.

Lao Guan was busy running around to open a branch factory, and the Marquis of Xingchang couldn't take care of it, and what reassured Zhang Ning the most was this little girl, although she was young, she did things properly. He plans to promote the little girl to be the housekeeper of the inner house, take care of the whole house, and if there is anything that you can't do, go to find Youyou.

"I don't want to watch the house." Qing'er's tears dripped and never stopped.

Zhang Ning coaxed: "If you don't guard your home, what should you do if your son comes back homeless?" ”

"Huh?" Qing'er looked up at Zhang Ning with teary eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the house for my son, and my son must come back safely." ”

"Definitely." Zhang Ning pinched Qing'er's little face and said, "My Qing'er is waiting for me to come back, can I not return safely?" ”

Childe has never done such an affectionate action. Qing'er blushed and said angrily: "Childe! ”

Zhang Ning laughed and said, "Prepare the horse." ”

The horses are ready.

Outside the gate of the mansion, the plaque of the Xingchang Bofu shines in the early morning sun. Zhang Ning got on the horse, glanced sideways at the plaque, and whipped towards the noon gate.

…………

Zhu Qizhen stood on the high platform, looking at the forest of guns shining in the sun, full of ambition, and said, "Go out." ”

"Expedition!" The sergeants shouted in unison, and the roar spread far away, startling the people who got up early in the capital to stop their movements and look in the direction of the palace.

Yes, there is no long speech, only two words that run through Changhong: "Go on the march!" ”

This time, he will inevitably return victoriously and include Warat in the territory. Zhu Qizhen has such confidence, hundreds of officials also have such confidence, and the sergeants are even more confident.

There is no other reason, with a sharp weapon in hand, a famous general is handsome, how can he not win?

Zhu Qizhen stepped down from the high platform and went to the imperial chariot.

The army marched out of the city.

Ten miles outside the city, among the crowd of people who saw the army, Youyou and Yang Rong'er shared a car, raised the curtain respectively, and watched the entangled sergeants walk by.

"See him?" It was still Yang Rong'er who spoke first, she kept leaning out, just wanting to look at Zhang Ning again.

Youyou was much more reserved, lifted the thin bamboo curtain, cast a pair of wonderful eyes on the faces of the sergeants, and sighed softly for a long time: "No." ”

There are too many people, especially cavalry, how can you find someone from tens of thousands.

"I wonder if he sees us?" Yang Rong'er didn't give up, grabbed the window edge with one hand, and raised her slender hand with the other, just hoping that Zhang Ning could take a look here.

Unfortunately, the sergeant was gone, and only the smoke and dust raised by the horses were left in the sky.

"Alas!" Yang Rong'er sighed and said, "He is so ruthless, why doesn't he look at us, could it be that he doesn't know that we are here?" ”

Yoyo motioned for the pothos to help her down and said, "Don't fall." Or he's in the Imperial Palace, and even if you look at us, we don't know. ”

"But no, the last time he went to Xishan with the car, didn't he go back and forth to accompany him in the Imperial Palace?" Yang Rong'er suddenly realized and said: "This matter has spread all over the capital, who doesn't say that he is a saint?" Hmph, they don't look at who has such a big ability as him. ”

Youyou smiled and said: "In your eyes, he is very good, others may not think like this, it is inevitable that people will talk too much." ”

"That's because they don't know the goods." Yang Rong'er pouted.

The two talked about it, and the coachman drove back to the city without mentioning it.

…………

Zhang Ning is really not in the imperial chariot. At such an important moment, how could he steal the limelight from the emperor? If you don't know each other, something big is going to happen. After Zhu Qizhen came to the town, he sent Jia Xiaosi to invite, but he politely declined.

He rode behind the imperial chariot, in front of him was the emperor's travel honor guard held by the brocade guards, and behind him were the civil and military officials dressed in complements, how could Youyou and Yang Rong'er see him? At such an important moment, he would not look around, so he didn't know that the two women were waiting not far from the gate of the city.

The army set off towards Datong, and after a day in Lufei, after choosing a place to camp every day, Zhang Ning had to inspect the camp tent, and Zhu Qizhen would also send someone to invite him to talk about military affairs.

On this day, it rained heavily on the road, the road was muddy, Zhang Ning was a little irritable, remembering that on the original trajectory of history, Wang Zhen led the troops on the way to Wei County, it seemed that it was also raining heavily, the road was muddy and difficult to walk, and the sergeants complained constantly.

After setting up camp, he went around the tents, and there was no complaint, but many people felt sorry for their wet or muddy shoes.

An hour later, the spy reported that none of the sergeants in the three battalions complained, but everyone was roasting their soaked clothes, shoes and socks under the fire, worried that the company camp would be burned.

This cannot be left unguarded.

Zhang Ning came to Zhang Fu's camp, and after saluting, Zhang Fu said: "You came just in time, the old man has something to discuss with you, the rain does not stop, the sergeant is busy roasting the fire, and he must not rest, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pull out the camp tomorrow." ”

"What does Grandpa Guo want to say?"

"The old man wanted to beg His Majesty to stay here for a day or two, but after the rain had passed, he was worried that the rain would not stop." Zhang Fu sighed: "When this rain will stop, no one knows." "If only there was one in the army who could read the sky.

Zhang Ning said: "I don't look at the weather, but the clouds are not thick, and it is estimated that the rain will not fall for a long time, let alone form a rainy trend." Grandpa Guo might as well pay homage to His Majesty and stay here for a day or two. I came to find Grandpa Guo, but more importantly, the sergeants burned the fire to roast their clothes, what should I do in case of a fire? ”

Zhang Fu's face changed greatly, and he said, "The herald orders that all sergeants are not allowed to bake the fire." ”

"Clothes and shoes and socks do not dry for fire. It's better to let them go to bed with the lights off and roast them in batches every day. "Zhang Ning has no better way to do it, but you must pay attention not to catch fire at this time.
