Chen Xu walked out of the door, and Qianying was long gone.

The third sister was just outside the door, looking at the direction where Yuan Xiaoniang left.

"Third sister." Chen Xu saw the third sister and said hello.

The third sister also saw him, ran to him in small steps, and said softly, "Sister Yuan is okay?"

"It's fine." Chen Xu nodded and said with a smile.

The third sister raised her eyes and looked at him and stopped talking.

She has always given Chen Xu the feeling that she is very quiet, a little inferior, and has a relatively low sense of existence.

……

Xuande two years.

Just after the New Year's Festival, the people of Qinzhou, who held paper flags last year and hoped that the Central Plains would take back their homeland, came to Tokyo thousands of miles away to write to the emperor, hoping that the Wei Dynasty would send troops to recover Qinzhou.

The emperor thought that the people of his homeland were in a hot state of water, and accepted the request of the people of Qinzhou and decided to transfer the army to the west to relieve the people of the upside down.

At this time, Fengxiang to the west of the Wei Dynasty was already actively preparing for war, mobilizing grain from nearby states.

In mid-February, the emperor listened to the advice of Wang Pu and other prime ministers and appointed four people. With Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Wang Jing as the main general of the Western Expedition, Zhen'an Jiedu envoy led the elite soldiers, Chen Xu led the first and second armies of the Hujie Army out of Tokyo, respectively as deputy generals, and the guest envoy Provincial Zan Jurun from the expedition, the main diplomacy and supervision of the army.

Fengxiang Jiedu made Wang Jing wait in Fengxiang, Xiang Xun led the army out of Zhen'an, Chen Xu and Temporarily Jurun led the forbidden army out of Tokyo, and the army was assembled in Fengxiang.

The next day, Chen Xu received a clear military order from the Privy Council in the Guards Division: the army will set off in five days.

In the Yamen of the Guards Office, Li Wenzhao, the commander of the Guards and the Pro-Army Division, and Li Chongba, the Marquis of Yu, the Marquis of the Guards, personally met with Chen Xu and others, and then the commanders of the First Army and the Second Army of the Hujie Army and the Marquis of Du Yu checked the transfer order of the Privy Council together to verify the authenticity.

The Guards held command, while the Privy Council had the power to deploy troops.

Everyone went through the process according to the process, and then returned to the barracks to convey the military orders to the subordinate departments.

Chen Xu returned home, began to pack his things, and informed He Meng Suohu that they were all ready.

Nian Zhen was also helping him pack up the accompanying utensils, in addition to the living utensils, he also selected the weapons and armor and placed them in one place, so that he could lose them.

A horse chopping knife, a three-stone heavy bow, a dagger, full coverage of long-range and close-range attacks, and iron armor, Chen Xu's original battle armor was overwhelmed and severely worn, and he had been "honorably laid off", and the same was true for the Daguan knife. His current armor is a piece of chain mail that was sent straight down from the inner sanctum.

Regarding the expedition, Chen Xu had already told Nianzhen that such a big event must be informed in advance and mentally prepared as early as possible.

He looked at Nian Zhen's busy back and was distracted, she silently helped Chen Xu clean up, everything was in order, in ordinary days, she took good care of him, it was really good, things at home were orderly, there was no need for Chen Xu to do things at all, and when he came home, he was idle like an uncle, lazy.

Not a word, very quiet.

The more this is the case, the more worried Chen Xu becomes.

He was a straight man, and finally couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?"

"Why does Ah Lang ask that?"

Nian Zhen glanced back at him, and didn't stop in his hand, wrapping the sorted clothes in cloth and making a baggage.

"Uh." Chen Xu thought for a moment and said, "I think you're not the same as usual." ”

She smiled, but the smile looked forced, "What's the difference?" ”

Chen Xu said: "Is it my expedition?"

He guessed that Nian Zhen might be worried about his expedition.

"Hmm." Nian Zhen responded and paused for a while, "I've been dreaming for the past few days, dreaming of Ah Lang." ”

Chen Xu took a step forward, held her Rouyi, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely, and it will be fine."

Bright-eyed, firm and confident, especially infectious.

He can understand Nianzhen's mood very well, there are no immortals in war, and this is even more true in this era, once separated, it is likely to be separated by yin and yang.

No matter what you think, you must first give the people around you a sense of confidence and security.

"Ah Lang, in fact, we are like now, it's good to live a plain life." Nian Zhendao, "I'm a woman, I don't have much knowledge, I just want Lang Jun to be safe." ”

Chen Xu sighed, if it was a peaceful and prosperous world, he would also want to live this kind of life, with a beautiful wife, red sleeves and fragrance, and a life of fresh clothes and angry horses. It's just that in this year of "the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house this year", this kind of day is good, but it is not suitable, the emperor doesn't know how many have changed, not to mention the civil and military generals below!

"Our current position is not stable enough, and we need to have enough strength to maintain our status, wealth, and dignity! Believe me, I will definitely come back with a victory this time, and we will celebrate together when the time comes! ”

"You don't usually have to be so frugal, buy what you should buy, use what you should use, and don't treat yourself badly."

Nian Zhen is really thrifty, and has been helping him save money, and the clothes he used to wear in Beiyang City were reluctant to throw away, and most of the new clothes were bought by Chen Xu on his own initiative.

At this time, Nian Zhen had already jumped into Chen Xu's arms, hugging his waist, and leaning his face on his chest.

Gently sniffing the manly breath on Lang Jun's body, every time she is worried and afraid, as long as she listens to this powerful heartbeat, she can always have a surge of courage, and she will be very relieved, as if she has a backbone.

"It's all my fault, I always make you unhappy." Nian Zhen said quietly, "Lang Jun, forgive me." ”

"Why apologize for nothing."

"Then I will forgive you for you, and in order to repay you, I will serve you well at night." Nian Zhen glanced up at him and said.

"How do you serve me?" Chen Xu pretended to be at a loss and asked knowingly.

"It's just ......" Before she could finish speaking, she immediately realized that something was wrong, and said in shame, "Damn." ”

Seeing that Nianzhen's mood turned cloudy, Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh.

A slap on his body, but without a bit of force, like a ball of cotton.

Nian Zhen has already left, and it is time to start preparing dinner.

At this moment, a head poked through the door.

Yuan Xiaoniang.

Chen Xu is still deeply impressed by the girl's confession.

"When did you come?" Chen Xu asked. It seems that she arrived early, and she also saw the scene just now.

Really. The girl squirmed a little and said, "I just arrived."

As soon as he saw this expression, Chen Xu immediately understood.

"I heard from my brother that you will go out of Beijing to fight in five days." calmed down, Yuan Xiaoniang said.

"Yes." Chen Xu responded.

"You're going on a campaign, and I can't help you. After thinking about it, I prepared a pair of insoles for you. The little lady took out a cloth bag and handed it to him, "It's worthless, but it took me a lot of work to sew it, so be careful." ”

"I sewed two pairs in total, one pair for my brother, and the other pair in this cloth bag." She added.

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Xu to accept it or not, so he stuffed the cloth bag to him.

"I'll let you know that I didn't do it on the spur of the moment!" Yuan Xiaoniang said in a firm tone.

Chen Xu was speechless for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"You shouldn't have been so nice to me." Chen Xu said.

"Why?" Yuan Xiaoniang looked confused.

Chen Xu suddenly felt that he was very hypocritical and did not tell the truth, but sometimes people really have to lie, lies have good intentions, and the truth is sometimes very cruel.

I can't bear to hurt the girl for half a point.

Looking at the insoles on his hands, Chen Xu felt a little moved in his heart.
