"How come the grain and grass haven't arrived today?" Ming Ruonan was in a hurry, although the Prince Palace sent a few tokens from the Cold Ice Sect to allow them to enter and leave the palace freely, but Ming Ruonan still couldn't wait for the news to come in, and lived directly in Bazhen Tower.

"Crown princess, shall we go back to the palace first?" Lintz was a little embarrassed on the side, "Your Majesty has asked a few times...... Zhan Shifu also came several times, and the minions were not easy to explain. If it goes on like this, Your Highness won't be able to hide it for you......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Can...... But I don't have the time to deal with all the in the palace right now. Moreover, your military report is not timely at all with the news of our Ice Sect, so it stands to reason that the passage should be faster. ”

Ming Ruonan replied to Linz perfunctorily, and then turned his head again to look at the disciples of the Cold Ice Sect who had come to give the news.

Lu Beibei reluctantly patted Lintz on the shoulder, and said to Ming Ruonan: "You go back first and wait for the news, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worry, I will now send the disciples of the Wind Pavilion out to find out, what is wrong." Lu Beibei knew that Ming Ruonan was anxious, and hurriedly comforted her, "The head of the sect wrote yesterday, he and the elders have returned to the southwest, and he must have a way to solve the problem of tight food and grass on the front line, you can rest assured." ”

I thought that the delay in the delivery of the second batch of grain and grass to the front line would be the biggest problem encountered by the Southwest Frontier Army. But Ming Ruonan never expected that half a month later, when he received news from his father again, it was the border army and had been lost for more than three days.

Ming Ruonan couldn't wait for news from others anymore, she was anxious, but because she was thousands of miles away, she couldn't help. simply left a letter to Yuan Jing, and directly rushed back to the southwest. It's just that she came back late after all......

As soon as Ming Ruonan entered the boundary of Southwest County, he saw the white silk all over the city......

The most prosperous and lively streets and alleys on weekdays were empty at the moment, and Ming Ruonan hurriedly vetoed the ominous premonition in his heart.

"Drive!" She didn't care about going home, so she rode her horse and whipped straight to the general's mansion.

Across the three streets, I heard the earth-shattering cry......

"Little Engong ......" The people in plain linen clothes around him, looking at Ming Ruonan who suddenly appeared, all hid their faces and cried.

"Your Day ......"

The dense crowd staggered to both sides, making way for Ming Ruonan.

She dismounted in a daze, looking at the people around her who were sobbing quietly, and her heart tightened more and more.

Turning the corner, what caught my eye was the white silk hanging in the General's Mansion...... On the white lantern at the gate of the house, the ink-black word "Dien" is particularly dazzling.

"Young Master ......"

Everyone discovered Ming Ruonan one after another, and they all turned their backs, and they couldn't bear to see this scene.

Ming Ruonan moved forward in a daze, looked at the coffin parked in the middle of the courtyard, and suddenly stopped.

Ming Ruonan turned to Liang Yun, who was crying on the side, and asked, "Sister-in-law, who is lying here?" ”

"Three Girls ......"

"Sister-in-law, tell me, which one is sleeping in here?"

"Dudu, it's Daddy! Daddy is lying in there! ”

Zhou Xingyang was only two years old, and he couldn't even pronounce the word aunt correctly, how did he know what this coffin meant. At this time, the child's joke made Ming Ruonan's heart instantly cool by half.

But she still didn't want to believe it: "Is what Xing'er said nonsense right? ”

Liang Yun's pursed lips and red and swollen eyes told Ming Ruonan everything.

"Three girls...... Send your senior brother the last ......"

"I don't believe it!" Ming Ruonan yelled, rushed up and wanted to push the coffin lid open.

"Three girls, don't mess around! Go home with Daddy. ”

Ming Ruonan shook off Ming Zhili's outstretched hand and continued to walk towards the coffin.

"Ming Ruonan, what are you crazy about here? I'm going to go crazy and go home, I'm crazy! ”

"I don't believe it, you're lying to me."

Xing'er hugged Ming Ruonan's legs, raised her little head and blinked her eyes and said, "Dudu, they said that Daddy went to a far, far away place, and said that Daddy is a big hero!" ”

Ming Ruonan's tears burst out of her eyes in an instant, and she squatted on the ground tremblingly and hugged Xing'er and cried silently.

"Yes...... But he's Zhou Qingtan! ”

Ming Ruonan didn't even catch up with the last time to see his senior brother, and when he returned to the southwest, he didn't enter a drop of water and guarded the spirit for three days.

On September 13, the county government of the southwest county, the "road money" scattered all over the sky, the people sent it to each other, and even the Taishou Qiu Keqian, all wearing sackcloth, cooperated with the southwest officials to sacrifice the road.

"Jun is leaving me calmly, leaving the eternal heroic spirit!"

"Fall!"

When the coffin fell, the cry resounded throughout the southwest.

"It's snowing......"

The people of Southwest County, who have never seen snow, look at the snow, and they are unwilling and resentful in their hearts, but as ordinary people who let people eat meat, they can only turn all their dissatisfaction into tears and melt with the snowflakes.

Liang Yun led Ming Ruonan to the bedroom, and took out a box wrapped in green satin with red eyes.

"Qing Tan said, this is a big wedding gift for you, but it's a pity that he can't go to the capital, so he can only wait for you to return to the province."

Ming Ruonan opened the box tremblingly, and tears rained down in an instant.

"Senior sister, if you get married in the future, I will give you a beehive!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you that marrying you is a hornet's nest! Be careful! ”

"Zhou Qingtan! I think you're underwhelmed! ”

"I'm joking, beehive, it means that your life is like honey, children and grandchildren, happy and happy!"

Ming Ruonan tilted her head and tried not to let the tears fall.

"Sister-in-law...... How did my brother die......"

"There was no food, no armor, and I defended Geshan Pass for ten days...... Uncle Ming wanted to transport the grain and grass he raised to it, but the road to Geshanguan was smashed by a boulder, and the carriage could not pass, so he had to take a detour. ”

"What about military rations? It should have been delivered more than a month ago. ”

When Liang Yun recalled this, his eyes were red with hatred.

"Military rations? Oh, it's here, but it's all rancid! If the soldiers want to fight, they still bring such things, who will they spoil them? ”

Ming Ruonan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Even if there are millions of people from Nanyuan Kingdom, it is Senior Brother Qingtan, who killed the myth of a hundred battles of the general of Nanyuan Country at the age of seventeen......"

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Old Marquis Zhou walked in weakly with the support of several people.

When Ming Ruonan saw him, tears couldn't stop pouring out again: "Shibo, I'...... I came back late......"

Zhou Wenbai shook his head and said nothing, only beckoned to Ming Ruonan and motioned for her to follow him.

Marquis Zhou took Ming Ruonan to the ear room and pointed to the large and small wooden boxes inside.

"Three girls, look at these."

Ming Ruonan looked at these bloody armors and felt heartache.

"It's ......"

"It's all taken off by our wounded soldiers, you can take it out and take a look."

As soon as Ming Ruonan picked up the armor, she realized the problem, since she was a child, she had been making jokes in the general's mansion a lot, so she had seen a lot of this armor.

"The weight is not ......"

Zhou Wenbai motioned to the person next to him to take off the sword and hand it to Ming Ruonan.

Ming Ruonan stabbed at the armor with a sword, but it was easily pierced.

"Dirt...... How can there be soil? She looked at the dirt falling on the ground in amazement, and simply split the armor with one palm, and the dirt splattered everywhere.
