Chapter 608: Bad News on the Frontier

The fifth day of the fifth month of May is an auspicious day.

Chunxiang and Jiang Geng's marriage was arranged on this day.

Because Chunxiang has been accepted as a righteous daughter by the Hou of Guannai, of course she has to leave the cabinet from the Hou Mansion.

Song Yi, as Chunxiang's family, groomed and dressed Chunxiang early in the morning, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If Youci is still around, wait a few more years, and send her to marry like today.

It's just that......

Thinking of Zhu Youci, Song Yi was a little lost.

At that time, Zhu Youci left the palace with resentment. Now, I don't know how I'm doing at the base?

Song Yi heard Jiang Geng say that the base where Zhu Youci is located is a very hard place. Almost every day, I start training at dawn and don't go to bed until dark.

Not to mention teenage children, even adults, can't bear it.

"The bride is so beautiful" The voices of praise in the room came and went, which also interrupted Song Yi's thoughts.

Song Yi looked at the newly dressed Chunxiang, the joy from the bottom of his heart.

"Sister Manwen, if you dress up like this, you will definitely make the groom look straight in the eyes," Song Yi said with a smile.

Chunxiang, no, now the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Guannei, Zhou Manwen.

Looking at the bride in the mirror, she was still in a trance, feeling that everything in front of her was not real.

"The Princess"

"Huh?" Song Yi heard that the bride still called herself princess, so she pretended to be unhappy.

"Sister Song Yi, what did you say?" Zhou Manwen lowered his head, blushed, and said.

"Today is your big day, you are the most beautiful bride" Song Yi seemed to be a little choked up when she said this.

"Princess, don't call me Manwen, call me Chunxiang. I heard the name Chunxiang, and I heard it kindly" Chunxiang was also infected by Song Yi and was a little sentimental.

Song Yi looked at the room full of people, although he knew that he shouldn't call Chunxiang by the name anymore. However, seeing the bride's expectant eyes, Song Yi couldn't care about any rules.

"Chunxiang, you will definitely be happy," Song Yi said.

"Sister, I will" Chunxiang nodded, hugged Song Yi and cried.

Chunxiang and Song Yi, after so many years of getting along, have already established a family relationship behind them. Although they are not sisters, their feelings are better than sisters.

Looking at Chunxiang in a red wedding dress, Song Yi has a feeling that my family has a female primary.

The real princess and Miss Guannai Houfu hugged their heads and cried, which made everyone present feel sad.

In the end, it was Xi Niang who stood up and said, "Princess, miss, don't cry. Today is Miss Zhou's big day, and she should be happy. ”

Song Yi didn't know what was going on today, so he couldn't help but feel sad. Obviously, I thought about it before I came, today is the day of Chunxiang's big day, and I won't cry no matter what, I want to watch Chunxiang get married with a smile.

But just now, I still didn't hold back. He also made the bride cry. The scene was very sentimental at one point.

"Okay, let's stop crying. Today is your day of great joy. It's not good to cry and wear makeup."

finally stopped Chunxiang's tears, and Song Yi saw a girl walk in outside the door.

Song Yi's face changed suddenly, and after letting the girl leave, he pretended to be okay and said to Chunxiang, "There are some things outside that I need to arrange, you can rest in the house for a while." Today is enough for you."

After saying this, Song Yi turned around and walked out of the house.

"Anzi, why did you come here?" Song Yi went out of the door and recognized the little guy looking at the door at a glance. is Jiang Geng's subordinate.

"Princess, my master asked me to come to you. Say you have something important to tell you."

"What do you have to say now? Didn't he know that today was his day of great joy? Although Song Yi said it, his feet still involuntarily followed.

All the way out of the mansion, at the back door of the Hou Mansion, Song Yi met the mysterious Jiang Geng.

"Jiang Geng, what the hell are you doing? Today is your day of great joy. What are you doing here? Is there anything you can't say tomorrow? Song Yi saw that Jiang Geng was not wearing a groom's suit, but a strong suit, which was a little inexplicable.

"Princess, this matter is not trivial, I dare not delay, I want to tell you" Jiang Geng's very serious expression made Song Yi a little uneasy.

"What the hell is going on?" Song Yi asked.

Jiang Geng looked around and found no suspicious figures. took out a letter from his bosom and said, "This is the secret report I received from Youzhou City this morning."

"Youzhou City?" When Song Yi heard these three words, his heart beat involuntarily.

Since the true king went to Youzhou City, Song Yi has been worrying about his life all day long. I was afraid of receiving a letter from Youzhou City, but I was also looking forward to receiving a letter of peace from a man.

However, today, Jiang Geng had such a terrifying expression on his face and took out a letter from Youzhou City.

Song Yi secretly felt that the content of this letter was not good news.

Song Yi suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his mind was also dizzy.

Fortunately, Jiang Geng has been paying attention, and as soon as he found out that there was something wrong with the princess, he immediately supported Song Yi.

"Princess, the more this time, the more you have to hold on," Jiang Geng comforted.

Song Yi knew that Jiang Geng was right, but as a wife, how could she be indifferent to her husband's news?

"What exactly is written in the letter? Just tell me."

Song Yi knew that Jiang Geng received the secret report, and he must know the content of the secret report.

"Say," Song Yi roared.

Jiang Geng knew that the princess's emotions were on the verge of collapse. So, I didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly told the content of the secret report.

It turned out that after the beginning of spring this year, the grain and grass in Youzhou City have not been enough. The logistical supply of the imperial court has been delayed. Seeing that the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city had no food to eat. Outside the city, there are Jurchens eyeing each other.

The true king knew that because of the successive natural and man-made disasters in the interior, the grain harvest was not harvested, and the price of grain in the market remained high. The reserve food in the treasury could not support the soldiers of Youzhou City at all. The next supply will be a month away.

In order to solve the predicament of Youzhou City, the real king ignored Marshal Gao's obstruction and insisted on leading the team out of the city to go around the rear of the Jurchens to sneak attack. But he didn't expect to be noticed by the Jurchens. An ambush was set up halfway through, but the true king did not check, fell into the ambush, and was trapped in the Gobi. I don't know if I live or die now.

When Song Yi heard Jiang Geng's words, he felt that the sky was about to fall. In particular, after hearing the ambush of the true king, he fought for a day and a night before he barely broke out and hid in the Gobi. At that time, when he was still seriously injured and his life and death were unknown, Song Yi almost fell to the ground.

"How long has it been?" Song Yi forced himself to hold on.

"Ten days ago. After the accident of the prince, Marshal Gao had asked people to look around, but in the Gobi Desert, to find the prince who was hiding everywhere was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and there was no news so far. ”

"I see"

Jiang Geng was very surprised, and when the princess heard it, she only said one sentence, and then threw down a sentence, "You go back quickly, Chunxiang is still waiting."

Then he turned and went through the door.
