Chapter 160: The Huns are coming
took Liu Yan back to the county guard's mansion, didn't go anywhere, went directly to the place where the dead guards were placed, Qin Du silently accompanied Liu Yan to stay in it for an afternoon, without doing any official business, just accompanying Liu Yan to guard his brother's coffin.
This is Qin Dui's respect for his first wife, this is the first wife he came to this world and publicly admitted, although she is very young now, but Qin Dui thinks that the respect that should be given is still necessary, this is a matter of principle, the state has national laws, the family has family rules, this ceremony cannot be abolished, otherwise the backyard will catch fire sooner or later, which Qin Duan does not want to see.
"Yeonyan, people can't be resurrected after death, and the living must still live, live well, only in this way can the dead be at ease." Qin Duan looked at the time, it was not early, so he opened his mouth to persuade.
"My parents are gone, and now even my only relative is gone, and I feel so lonely." Liu Yan said helplessly.
"No, you still have relatives, I am your man, and I am also your dearest relative, you will not be alone, I will accompany you in the future." Qin Du hugged Liu Yan and said.
"Husband, can I call you that?"
Liu Yan looked at Qin Du deeply and asked, Liu Yan wants to imprint the man in front of her deeply in her memory, this is her own man, and she will rely on it for the rest of her life.
"Of course, I am your man, you are my first wife, of course you can call me husband."
Qin Duan said affirmatively, although the little girl in front of him looked like she was only eight years old, I don't know why Qin Du always regarded her as a girl who was a few years younger than herself, a girl who could discuss things together, and a woman who could give advice to herself.
"Husband!" Yoo Yeon shouted softly.
"Lady!" Qin Duan hugged Liu Yan tightly and shouted.
In this way, the two hugged quietly, feeling each other's save. For Qin Duan, this woman will be his wife in the future and the most important half of his life, and for Liu Yan, this man who hugs him tightly is all he has.
"Yeon-yeon. It's time to eat. "For a long time, Qin Duan said.
"Husband, I'm not hungry."
Liu Yan said that now Liu Yan really has no appetite to eat, so she wants to stay here quietly to accompany her brother, and she will have to communicate with her brother forever in the future.
"Don't be hungry, you have to eat a little, I don't think your brother wants you to skip food or drink for him, in that case. He can't be at ease when he dies. Qin Duan persuaded.
"Really?" Liu Yan looked at Qin Du and asked.
"Of course, if you think about it, your brother loves you so much, if he knew that you didn't eat, he would definitely be unhappy." Qin Du said.
"Hmm." Liu Yan answered, and obediently asked Qin Duan to take hands and walk out.
Soon the two came to the dining hall, and several women were already waiting there, for them. If the lord is at home, he must wait for the lord to eat. Can't eat earlier than the old man.
"Sir."
Qin Dui took Liu Yan's hand and walked into the dining hall, and several women immediately shouted respectfully, when they were usually with Qin Dui, they didn't have such a respectful and respectful person, because their old man was very peaceful with his own women, and everyone got along very casually.
But not anymore. Because of this woman who was led in by the master, I heard the guards say that she was designated by the master himself as the first wife, that is to say, this little girl is the first mistress of this family, and she is the concubines and maids of the master. In the future, it will be under her control, there can be no rules before, because the master is a man, he won't care much, and now there is a hostess, it is different, although this hostess is a little young, but no matter how young, she is also a hostess, you can't think that she is easy to bully because she is young, you can challenge her authority, that kind of consequence, is not something that these little women can bear.
"You are all here, let me introduce you, her name is Liu Yan, from now on she will be my wife, my first wife, in the future, what she says will be the same as what I say."
Qin Duan said, there are some things that must be made clear, Qin Duan will never allow the slave to bully the master, Liu Yan is young, Qin Duan is worried that these women will take advantage of their usual pampering and bully Liu Yan, so they will say that at home, Liu Yan's words are equivalent to their own words.
"I've seen my sister." Foolish dreams salute.
"I've seen Madame." A few maids also hurriedly saluted.
"Everyone will be a family in the future, so there is no need to be so polite."
Liu Yan said, no matter what, she is now Qin Duan's wife, and as a wife, she must look like a wife and take care of the family for her man.
"Thank you, sister."
Crazy Dream said, although Crazy Dream is one round older than Liu Yan, but Liu Yan is a wife, no matter how young she is, she has to call her sister.
"Thank you, ma'am." A few maids also said.
"Madam, she is an infatuated dream, my concubine." Qin Du pointed to the dream and said to Liu Yan.
"Hello, I'm Yoo Yeon."
Liu Yan said very formally, although Liu Yan fled everywhere with her parents when she was very young, the smart and diligent Liu Yan never gave up the opportunity to learn, and she always found some books that others threw away and studied with her brother, so although Liu Yan is only eight years old now, she no longer knows a few words, and she also knows the etiquette of some powerful people.
"She's a cherry, my personal maid." Qin Du pointed to the little cherry and said.
"I've seen Madame."
Little Cherry hurriedly saluted, Little Cherry From now on, there is a hostess in this family, although this hostess is younger than herself, but she is still her own master, and she must obey her words, and there will be no such freedom in the future.
"This is Magnolia, and she is also my personal maid, and she will be your personal maid in the future." Qin Duan pointed at Yulan and said to Liu Yan.
"I've seen Madame."
Yulan Shili said, she will be the maid of this little hostess in the future. Yulan felt a little lost in her heart, after all, there is a big difference between serving the hostess and serving the man......
"Husband, you gave me your personal maid, what about you?" Liu Yan asked with some surprise.
"Don't I still have a little cherry? Besides, I have you at home, and I need such a maid. Qin Duan said.
"Thank you, husband."
Liu Yan said with some emotion, because this man who she had just known for less than a day, this husband who she had known for less than a day, sincerely regarded herself as his woman.
"This is Xiaoyu, a maid who is obsessed with dreams." Qin Duan pointed at Xiaoyu and said.
"I've seen Madame." Xiaoyu saluted.
"Alright, let's all sit down and eat." Qin Du said.
After Qin Du and Liu Yan sat down, several other people stood and did not sit down to eat together.
"Why don't you sit down and eat?" Qin Duan asked suspiciously.
"Master, without Madame's consent, we can't eat with you, Master." Little Cherry said.
"Oh, I forgot about it."
Qin Du then remembered that this was an ancient time, concubines and maids could not eat at the same table with the male and female hosts without the consent of the male and female hosts, and they usually didn't care much about this matter, so they let them sit and eat with them, but now that there is a hostess, let the hostess decide this matter.
"Madame, look?" Qin Duan asked.
"Let's all sit down and eat." Liu Yan said.
So everyone sat down to eat, this meal was a little dull, Liu Yan was depressed about her brother's death, and Qin Dui was also in a bit dull today, so everyone didn't speak, just ate quietly.
Three days later, Qin Du held a solemn funeral for the six dead guards, unlike the last time when the dead soldiers were buried in a hurry on the march, this funeral was extraordinarily grand, and the leading figures in Tokugawa Prefecture attended this funeral.
This made the entire Tokugawa Prefecture soldiers and civilians feel that Qin Dui attached great importance to his soldiers, even if it was just a few small guards who died, he personally held a funeral for them, which made many soldiers feel that it was worth dying with such an adult.
What made the entire Tokugawa Castle even more popular was that the warden was going to spend a lot of money to build a martyr's shrine in Tokugawa Castle to house the warriors who had made important contributions to the stability and tranquility of Tokugawa Castle.
……
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already May of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse.
"Guys, this is a message from the spies from the Huns, take a look."
In the county guard's mansion, Wu Sang took out the news from the spies on the Humn side. Because Tokugawa Prefecture borders on the Lesser Hungarians, the Lesser Hungarians have not come to attack the Tokugawa Gun and plunder the materials of the Tokugawa Gun in the past ten years, so the Tokugawa Gun has been sending a lot of spies to the Humble Clan.
It was not for the sake of fighting the Humble Hungarians, but for the sake of getting the news in advance, and escaping from Tokugawa Castle in time to take refuge in several nearby prefectures, which has been the case for so many years.
After all, for the Huns, who are accustomed to the life of the steppe, they will not occupy Tokugawa Castle for a long time, and after a month, they will return to the grassland, and then everyone can return to Tokugawa Castle.
"Okay, this time there are 100,000 troops, it really looks up to our Tokugawa Prefecture." After reading it, Qin Duan said.
"My lord, what is your opinion?" Wu Sang asked.
"I don't know about the situation of the Humble Hungarians, you have been in Tokugawa Prefecture for many years, and you know more about the situation of the Lower Hungarians than I do, I still want to hear your opinions?" Qin Du said.
"My lord, all the troops of our Tokugawa Prefecture combined are less than 70,000, and they are no match for the 100,000 elite cavalry of the Huns." Tokugawa Prefecture Governor Lee Toku-hae said.
"Do you mean we want to surrender to the Huns?"
Qin Du looked at Li Dehai unhappily and asked, this battle has not started yet, and this Li Dehai thinks that his side will lose. (To be continued......)
