Chapter 201: Meet Qing Shizi
Xu Cui'e nodded with relief, "Mother won't trouble you, I'll go back, but no matter what you hear or see, you have to pretend not to know, your body is the most important thing." ”
Gu Chunyan's face was stunned, and she suddenly understood, and she smiled sadly: "Mother knows." ”
Xu Cui'e frowned, there were some things she would rather not bump into, "Don't say it, you lie down and rest, I have been arguing with your father all my life, and now that I am old, I have to get by, my mother is gone." ”
"I'll let the maid send you." Gu Chunyan was also uncomfortable in her heart, but she was really physically exhausted and didn't bother to get out of bed.
In Shanwa Village, the roast duck made by Duran tasted quite successful, and Wuwei Zhai also came with news that the stall had been cleaned up and was waiting for Duran to open.
In the next few days, Duran killed ducks with his family and friends to make roast ducks, and due to the early release of the wind in Wuwei Zhai, and the proximity of Wuwei Zhai to the vegetable market, pedestrians who came and went had long been curious about the changes in the windows of Wuwei Zhai.
On this day, the weather was clear, Duran's gluttonous roast duck finally opened, the stall was full of people, diners were endless, they were attracted by the aroma of roast duck, within five days, the roast duck shop became famous, the people of the whole Luo'an City came to Duran to buy roast duck to eat, and the duck farmers also took the initiative to sell duck to her.
Du Liang and Du Er helped kill the ducks at home, Du Lan specialized in mixing sauces, Chen Jingting was good at knife work, so he became the master of duck slices, and Xu Hening would come over to help whenever he was free.
The shopkeeper of Wuwei Zhai was interested in Duran's hot business, and talked to Duran about the acquisition several times, but unfortunately Duran refused.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed, but the happy and busy life was broken by a letter from Chen Jingting.
A small soldier in armor galloped quickly, jumped off the horse in front of the gluttonous roast duck stall, walked quickly to Chen Jingting, who was standing in front of the stall and chopped the duck with a knife, took out the family letter from his arms, and said with a serious and respectful face: "Childe, the general's letter to you!" ”
Chen Jingting's face immediately became nervous, this little soldier was his father's personal entourage, and he would not rush to deliver the letter if he was not in a hurry.
He took the letter, opened it and glanced at it, his eyes widened in surprise, there was a war in the border city, the imperial court sent his father General Chen to suppress it, only to find out later that it was the Taishou of the city that betrayed the country, and planned to hand over the city to others, but fortunately it was found that it was stopped in time, the Taishou fled to the enemy country, and the city lost its leader, and the chaos was like a pool of scattered sand for a while, and the enemy country took advantage of the chaos to launch a war.
The enemy had already premeditated, and General Chen's army bravely retreated from the enemy, but our army was not well prepared for grain and grass and fell into a crisis, so Chen Jingting was specially ordered to lead his troops to the front line to send grain and grass.
Upon learning of this, Chen Jingting wrinkled his eyebrows in pain, no, he had to go back and mobilize soldiers as soon as possible to save his father from the dilemma.
From the time the soldiers galloped in, Du Lan had a bad premonition in her heart, she looked at Chen Jingting fixedly, and asked with concern, "Is there something at home?" You've been out for a while, so you'd better go home as soon as possible. ”
Chen Jingting looked at her seriously, his lips moved but he didn't know whether to tell her or not.
"Chen Jingting, what's wrong?"
"It's the accident over there."
Du Lan sighed in his heart, and a trace of worry appeared between his eyebrows: "But the city mentioned in You'an's letter? ”
Chen Jingting nodded heavily: "So, I have to leave as soon as possible, and I will explain to Brother Xu here." ”
"He's in Dongcheng, do you think I still have the heart to sell roast duck?" Duran roared uncontrollably.
Chen Jingting looked shocked, he had never seen Du Lan lose his temper, he looked at Du Lan quietly, thought quickly in his head, and then said: "I don't worry about him either, so I will leave immediately, my father has repelled the enemy army, and he has Brother Xue as his company, he should ......"
"I'll go with you!" Duran immediately interrupted his wishful thinking and cut the railroad to the point.
"No, it's war there, if you go wrong, how can I explain it to him!" Chen Jingting flatly refused.
"No, I must go!" Duran looked at Chen Jingting, her eyes were like torches, she couldn't forget the loneliness of losing her parents in her previous life, as if the whole world had abandoned her, how much courage did she need to struggle out of the pain.
Now, even if she doesn't treat Gu Youan as a partner, he has undoubtedly become the closest family member in her life, even if it is dangerous there, she has to make her own efforts to find him, instead of waiting for the loss of deep regret and sadness.
"Duran, you really have to go to You'an in person, I won't impose an objection, but you have to listen to me in everything, and you must not act without permission."
"Good!"
"Then I'll go back and prepare, you also go back and talk to the old man, tell the store about the matter, and let's go immediately."
The two hurried back to Shanwa Village, Du Lan found Liangzi, taught him the method of making roast duck sauce in detail, and entrusted the family affairs to Zhao and Du Er, asking them to help him take care of Old Man Gu.
Changed into Du Liang's clothes, tied a high ponytail, pretended to be a man and went out of the house with a simple bag on his back, Chen Jingting was already waiting for her with the carriage, and the whole family came out to see her off, Old Man Gu repeatedly told her to be careful outside, Du Liang reluctantly sent each other off, Zhao was even more full of tears, even Du Er was depressed, and the family wrote worries on their faces.
Du Lanwan smiled, "You don't have to worry, I'm safe with Chen Jingting, and besides, I'm not so easy to bully." ”
"Lan Lan, you must not take it lightly." A thousand words, Zhao's words that had been brewing for a long time, but when they came to their mouths, they still gave a simple advice.
Chen Jingting comforted them and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I will protect Duran and bring her back safely." ”
"Go early, come back early!" What Old Man Gu didn't want in his heart still happened after all, since he couldn't avoid it, he could only face it head-on.
What should come is always coming, and that day is not far off.
Sitting in the carriage, with the sound of the whip, the carriage galloped away, and the relatives behind him were full of worry......
The two of them quickly whipped their horses, collected grain and grass through the government in the city before the city, and arrived at the city after a day and a night, and many people were displaced and fled on the way outside the city.
Chen Jingting didn't know what the situation was in the city, so he ordered his men and horses to set up camp outside the city, and he and Duran changed into the clothes of refugees and sneaked into the city.
The situation in the city was even more miserable than imagined, and it could not be described in the words of life, the air was filled with billowing smoke, and everywhere was the eye could see the wisps of sparks that had not been extinguished, and most of the people's homes were burned to ashes, and the disgraced people were left homeless in the streets.
Even the houses that were not burned down were dilapidated and uninhabitable.
The scene in front of him burned Duran's eyes like a fire, which showed how fierce the war was at that time.
Chen Jingting and Du Lan both painted black ash on their faces, disguised themselves as refugees, and saw the people not far away supporting each other, they hurriedly stepped forward to find out the location of the barracks.
The people walked lifelessly, and suddenly saw someone questioning the barracks, and when they looked closely, they found that they were two young men, and immediately raised their vigilance.
It can be seen that the people love the city, which makes Chen Du and the others very pleased, General Chen did not protect the people in the city in vain.
Chen Jingting bowed his hands and was fiercely loyal: "Our two brothers are going to join the army, serve the country, and avenge their dead relatives!" ”
The people's eyes widened in admiration, "Good son, you are loyal to the country, waiting to defeat the enemy and return us to peace." ”
When I came to the outside of the barracks, it was already dusk, and a bonfire was lit at the entrance of the barracks, and more than a dozen sentinels took turns to guard it.
Seeing the figures of Duran and the others, he scolded sharply: "Who is here?" Dare to trespass into the barracks! ”
Chen Jingting immediately lit up the token on his waist, and the officers and soldiers took it in their hands and looked at it carefully, and only after confirming it did they escort the two of them to the Dashuai tent without leaving an inch.
"Chen Gongzi, subordinates must be cautious, so as not to be mixed into the barracks by the enemy, please forgive me if you are offended! The boss is inside, two please. ”
Opened the tent and walked in, a screen came into view, and the soldier went in and reported through the screen: "General Qiqiqing, Chen Gongzi outside the door asks to see." ”
"Let him in." Kyungshiko sat up lazily from the bed, an abnormal flush on her face. He was not surprised by Chen Jingting's arrival.
When Chen Jingting heard this, he exchanged glances with Du Lan, General Qing?
