Chapter 350: Departure to the Border
Dongfang Mo entered the palace to meet him, and now he can be regarded as an idle person. Therefore, his departure from Cheng Jingran did not have much impact on him, and naturally he would not be punished.
It's just that because Dongfang Hong is aware of some things now, he has become more and more vigilant against Dongfang Mo, "King Mo, it's not the same thing that you have been idle in the mansion for a long time. The border tribes are coming, and I plan to send you there, what do you think? ”
Border tribes are some small tribes on the border, but although they are small tribes, they are not so simple to deal with because of the wildness that has been passed down in the blood.
Because the places where the tribes are scattered are all in the yellow sand, every time there is a war with the tribe, it is in the long yellow sand, which is a relatively disadvantaged situation for the army of the Xuanwu Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that the Xuanwu Kingdom does not dare to underestimate the tribe.
The tribal land is barren, perennially arid, and located in the land of yellow sand. The lack of clothing and food makes them have to trade with the nations, but at the same time, the wildness in them is all clamoring, wanting to rely on force to get what they want.
Because of this, the war is non-stop......
In the past, Dongfang Mo was stationed in the border area between the White Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom, because there was war all year round. Stationed on the tribal border was the Weibei general Qiu Shanglin, whose daughter Qiu Ruoyun had been fighting with him since she was thirteen years old.
In his early years, Dongfang Mo had learned the way of marching and arranging under Qiu Shanglin, so Qiu Shanglin was also Dongfang Mo's teacher, and Qiu Ruoyun was also his junior sister in a sense.
"Father, if the rechen goes to the border, General Weibei ......" Dongfang Mo hesitated slightly.
"General Weibei has been guarding the border for several years, and I have allowed him to go home and reunite with his family for a few months, King Mo, how about you replace him?" Dongfang Hong obviously didn't intend to give Dongfang Mo the opportunity to refuse, and he was sure of every word.
Seeing this, it was impossible for Dongfang Mo Ye Zhining to refuse, "Erchen has the order, I don't know when to rush to the tribe?" ”
After thinking about it slightly, Dongfang Hong hesitated for a while and said: "Nian is that you have just returned from Liancheng, I will give you three days, and after three days, lead an army of 30,000 to support." ”
"Son's command! If the father has no other instructions, the sons will retire first. Dongfang Mo's eyes were slightly cold, but he had always been like this, but no one could see it.
waved his hand and motioned for Dongfang Mo to leave. Dongfang Hong looked at Dongfang Mo's back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold smile, "The rebellion of the clan, at least a few months, at most a year and a half without returning, I want to see, how do you still covet this throne!" ”
Leaving the palace, Dongfang Mo did not immediately return to the Mo Palace, but went to find Cheng Jingran first. Now Cheng Jingran is already in his exclusive courtyard, and he has not yet reported to the Prince's Mansion, but he saves Dongfang Mo from looking for people everywhere.
Because of the friendship between the two of them going to Liancheng together, Dongfang Mo did not avoid others this time, but went straight to him. Seeing Dongfang Mo coming, Cheng Jingran put down the teacup in his hand, "You're here......"
"I'm going to the border in three days, and I'm here to say goodbye to you." Dongfang Mo said, sat down on the stone chair on the side, and took the tea that Cheng Jingran had just poured for himself.
Looking at the palace people on the side, Cheng Jingran said lightly: "Let's go down first~"
With the departure of the palace people, Cheng Jingran continued to move in his hands, "What's the matter, it will take a few months to go to the border, and at most a year and a half, you may not be able to return." ”
"I know, but the old fox is holding me down." Thinking of this, Dongfang Mo's heart was full of anger, how could he not be angry, and actually wanted him to go on the expedition at this time.
Cheng Jingran also guessed something, obviously now Dongfang Hong is on guard against the two of them, and now that Dongfang Mo is going to go on the expedition, then ...... "It seems that our pace will slow down, and everything must be more careful." You try to come back as early as possible, many things that you simply can't carry out without you. ”
"I know, I don't want to leave either, Ning'er is already pregnant with a child, and I still want to be by her side to accompany her......" Thinking of this, the more irritable he is, has even his companionship become a luxury?
Cheng Jingran paused slightly, ignoring the bitterness in his heart, "I didn't expect Zhining to be pregnant with a child, it seems that our plan can't be postponed." Don't worry, even if you are not in Huaijing, we will also take care of her. Whether it's her or the child, you don't need to worry. ”
"Those people of the tribe are very difficult to deal with, like weeds, wildfires cannot be burned, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. Fighting a protracted war with them is the last thing I like. Dongfang Mo drank the tea in one gulp, regardless of whether it would burn himself.
According to Dongfang Mo's temperament, he naturally wants to fight quickly, especially with Ye Zhining waiting at home. But there are some things that you can't just think about.
The two talked together for a long time, and finally the two left the palace together......
Regarding Dongfang Hong's suspicions, Cheng Jingran now chooses to ignore them, anyway, they won't do anything for a long time in the future, and if they have more doubts, I'm afraid they will also fade in these times.
When he came to King Mo's mansion, Ye Zhining was still resting, and Dongfang Moliu Cheng Jingran had dinner. When it was time for dinner, Ye Zhining was also woken up by Dongfang Mo, and several people sat together......
For the next thing, Ye Zhining also knew clearly, she still felt uncomfortable about Dongfang Mo's going to go on the expedition. A typical person just knows that she is pregnant, but then knows that she can only wait for the child to be born alone, and the child's father is not around......
That is to say, the departure date has been set, and the return date has not been decided. Maybe when you come back, the child will be able to make soy sauce? Ye Zhining looked at Dongfang Mo with a little dissatisfaction, this father is really incompetent.
Not to mention Ye Zhining's dissatisfaction, Dongfang Mo is also dissatisfied, it's just that his dissatisfaction can't find anyone to vent. Seeing this, Cheng Jingran on the side also spoke for Dongfang Mo on the side, "Dongfang Hong is the king of a country, he ordered, and King Mo was helpless." ”
Ye Zhining also knows this truth, but knowing and accepting it are not on the same line. I didn't have a good appetite, but now my appetite is even worse......
Seeing that Ye Zhining had just eaten some, Dongfang Mo frowned slightly, "Ning'er, I know you're in a bad mood, you can beat me and scold me casually, but you can't let yourself be hungry." ”
"I'm just not hungry ......" Ye Zhining is really not hungry, not the so-called full of qi.
On the other side, Xiao Tao followed Steward Wang's instructions and put a cup of chicken soup in front of Ye Zhining, "Princess, this is the chicken soup that Steward Wang specially ordered the kitchen to make, now you eat two people by yourself, if you don't want to eat, then drink chicken soup." With that, Xiao Tao had already prepared a bowl of chicken soup for Ye Zhining and placed it in front of Ye Zhining.
It still smells good...... Ye Zhining thought like this, but she didn't refuse Steward Wang's kindness. Cheng Jingran smelled the aroma of this chicken soup and said with a smile: "It seems that Steward Wang has wasted a lot of thoughts, this medicinal herb and chicken soup are simmered slowly, not to mention it will take several hours." ”
Steward Wang happened to instruct the maid to put a few plates of side dishes on the table, and when he heard Cheng Jingran's words, he said: "The princess is happy now, but it is our future little prince, whether it is the princess or the little prince, we must take care of it." Pregnant women will have a bad appetite, so the old slave prepared some sour dishes, hoping that the princess would eat two more bites. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Wang! In the future, I won't be in the house, and I want you to take care of Ning Er more......" Dongfang Mo was also quite happy to see Ye Zhining being taken care of and cared for, at least during his absence, there was still someone who could take care of her.
Although he wanted to take care of it himself, in the barracks, even if Ye Zhining went, it was not as pampered and comfortable as the palace.
Steward Wang didn't know that Dongfang Mo was leaving, and when he heard Dongfang Mo not say anything, he was suddenly surprised, "Lord Wang, are you going to leave again?" This princess is pregnant, why do you want to leave again? As he spoke, there was a hint of reproach in his tone.
"The holy oracle cannot be violated, and Uncle Wang is not unaware." Dongfang Mo's simple words let Steward Wang know the reason, and the oracle is indeed inviolable.
Because of the dishes of Steward Wang, Ye Zhining really ate a lot, and as for the chicken soup, she ate and drank a lot. In the end, she still felt that it was not good to eat too much, so she stopped, in fact, she is also a foodie.
Sending Cheng Jingran away, Ye Zhining and Dongfang Mo returned to the house, Dongfang Mo watched Ye Zhining lying on the bed and gently helped her caress her belly. On the one hand, he is eating for her, and on the other hand, he is also touching his unborn child more.
"The tribe is vicious, you have to be more careful." Ye Zhining looked at Dongfang Mo in front of her, and couldn't help but worry.
"Don't worry, no one can stop me from coming back to see you. I promised you that no matter the world or me, I will be safe and secure in front of you. As long as you stretch out your hand, you can catch it, as long as you open your eyes, you can see ......" Holding her hand, Dongfang Mo said sincerely.
With a soft hum, Ye Zhining looked at the man in front of her, but she didn't know how long it would take to separate this time......
Three days later, in the early morning, it was the time when Dongfang Mo set out on the expedition, the time was too early, originally Dongfang Mo didn't plan to wake up Ye Zhining, but when he got up, Ye Zhining also opened his eyes.
"After today, we won't see each other for at least a few months, and you're going to leave while I'm sleeping?" Ye Zhining said softly and slowly got out of bed and dressed.
The autumn morning was a little cold, Dongfang Mo saw Ye Zhining getting out of bed, and gently took her hand, "The morning dew is heavy, don't send ......"
"If I don't send it, I'm afraid I'll regret it......" Ye Zhining broke free of his hand and put on her coat. Seeing Ye Zhining sitting in front of the dresser, Dongfang Mo knew that she had to go, took the wooden comb in her hand, and Dongfang Mo said, "Then I'll comb your hair for you." ”
This is not the first time Dongfang Mo has combed Ye Zhining's hair, and naturally it will not be the last......
Looking at the focused appearance of the man in the mirror, the corners of Ye Zhining's mouth hooked up a light smile.
