"General, this is an item left for you when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the mansion a few days ago, because you are still sick, let us not disturb."

Wu Qingsheng presented a letter to Ning Zeqing.

Ning Zeqing took out the letter paper from it, accidentally took out the ornaments placed in it, and shattered it on the ground, messing up the jade fragments on the ground, leaving only a whole green silk silk.

Wu Qingsheng hurriedly picked it up, put it on the table piece by piece, and put the silk silk on the tail, barely recovering a general appearance.

Qu Mingli looked from behind and vaguely saw the shape of a chrysanthemum.

Wu Qingsheng looked at Ning Zeqing with a worried face, but Ning Zeqing was stunned by these pieces of broken jade.

"General?" Wu Qingsheng called him.

Ning Zeqing came back to his senses, coughed a few times, and said intermittently: "If it's broken, it's broken." It's just something given by the prince, don't throw it away, just keep it well. ”

Wu Qingsheng nodded and wrapped these carefully with a handkerchief.

Ning Zeqing opened the letterhead, looked at it for a moment, stared at it for a while, put it on the flame tongue of the lampstand, burned it, and threw it in the ceramic bucket.

"You guys prepare, you may be about to go on the expedition, let the Hundred Clans Army drill carefully, don't be rusty."

Ban Fei and Qu Mingli glanced at each other, with doubts in their eyes.

Ban Fei said: "I haven't heard of any war recently, why do you need to go on an expedition?" If you want to go on the expedition, why choose the Hundred Tribes Army instead of the Seeking Frontier Army. The Hundred Clans Army has been in army for less than a year, and no matter what considerations you have, you shouldn't let him take on this great responsibility. ”

Ning Zeqing lowered his head and flipped through the book: "You can't say it yet, you just do it." ”

Qu Mingli and Ban Fei took the order.

A few days later, when Ning Zeqing went to court, this big task came down.

King Ming didn't say a word in the palace, turned back and forth several times, and finally spoke.

"Recently, after thinking about it, the more I feel the importance of friendship among all ethnic groups. A hundred years ago, the hundred ethnic groups were originally one country, only because of the incompetence of Qianjie, they divided their own land and became a country, but the hundred ethnic groups have always been friendly as the general trend, and there are few disputes. But after the conscription of the army of the hundred tribes, some of the tribes and countries have lost their communication with our country, and even have no contacts, thinking that they have misunderstood the intentions of their own country, and they have become vigilant, and I feel very cold. Seeing that the army of the hundred ethnic groups led by General Ning was getting stronger and stronger, in order to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, he sent a special envoy to all ethnic groups to explain the will of the country, and he could no longer be alienated. ”

"The ministers should receive their orders and live up to their trust." Ning Zeqing received the will and couldn't help coughing when he returned to his original position.

Shi Shu stood up and said, "Father, General Ning was sick a few days ago, and he hasn't recovered yet, so if he travels rashly, I'm afraid it will be a little delayed." Should this matter be left to other generals? Or perhaps, postpone it for a few days and wait for General Ning to get better before setting off? ”

King Ming asked Ning Zeqing: "What is General Ning's plan, and does it need to be handed over to others?" ”

Ning Zeqing replied: "The failure of the minister's palace is the crime of the minister. The minister is already much better, and it will not affect the affairs of the minister's communication with various nationalities and countries. There are also two lieutenant generals to assist the minister, and he will share his worries for the minister, and this trip will not be a problem. ”

King Ming nodded: "Since General Ning said this, I am relieved." ”

The prince said again: "Father, if this matter is decided, why don't you let General Ning rest for a few more days, and then set off when he gets better, he will be in good spirits, let other countries see him, and he can also show his demeanor." ”

King Ming nodded: "Okay, I don't have to go to court for these three days, and when you get better, I will lead the army of the hundred tribes to the countries." Remember, you need to have a correct posture, not to be contemptuous, and not to be too humble, so as to show the attitude of my son. ”

"Yes." Ning Zeqing naturally agreed.

Ban Fei was very worried when he heard the news: "Only three days? But the general has been sick for more than half a month before he has improved slightly, and how can he recover in the past three days? This road is long and bumpy, if you get sick and sick, how can it be good? He asked Wu Qingsheng again, "Sister Wu, do you have any way to make the general get better as soon as possible?" “

Wu Qingsheng was very embarrassed: "There is a way, but it is just to forcibly use medicine to strengthen the body, and it is inevitable to increase the dose." Although I have a good health for a while, I always have to hurt my inside. In the long run, it's not a good idea. ”

Hearing her say this, Ban Fei became even more anxious: "This is absolutely unacceptable." ”

Ning Zeqing didn't care, and said to her while coughing: "It's okay to use more medicine, just ask for more results within three days." ”

"Then let Sister Wu go on the road with her, so that you can take care of it." Qu Mingli thought of a way.

"Little brother Mingli laughed, is the army a place where women can go, and I can't go with me. Besides, the affairs of the palace still need to be taken care of by me, even if I secretly follow, who will manage this huge general's mansion. ”

The crowd was in trouble for a while.

"However," Wu Qingsheng continued, "it's not that there is nothing to be done, if I prepare a few more prescriptions, if it is an occasional heart disease, the general can also take medicine according to the symptoms, but you must be careful, you must carefully check the symptoms, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

"Then I'm going to trouble Sister Wu." When Ban Fei heard that there was another way, he was relieved a lot.

On this day, Wu Qingsheng thought carefully about Ning Zeqing's past symptoms, listed them one by one, prescribed medicines, and was worried that it would be difficult to use medicine when several symptoms were combined, so he prescribed another prescription, and was cautious in the use of medicine, and wrote dozens of thick chapters, when the sky was faintly bright, it was good.

After three days, Ning Zeqing's condition did not improve, and he was still coughing. It's just that the deadline is imminent, and there is no room for delay, and a group of people began to pack their bags and hit the road.

Ning Zeqing was taking care of the last affairs in the study, and Wu Qingsheng came in.

"From tomorrow, we will leave, and the affairs of the house will be handed over to you, so you have to worry more."

Wu Qingsheng smiled: "After so many years, isn't it all me taking care of it?" I've been used to it for a long time. In addition......"

Ning Zeqing saw her spitting, so he asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Qingsheng hesitated, took out a wrapped handkerchief from his arms, carefully placed it on the table, opened it and said to Ning Zeqing: "This piece of jade, I have ordered someone to inlay it with gold." ”

Ning Zeqing turned around and saw the chrysanthemum jade pendant on the table that seemed to be completely repaired, but in fact the back was covered with gold-filled cracks.

"Although there are some flaws, it is still a good jade in the end. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also well-intentioned. Remember the past, but don't dwell on it. Sorrow but not sorrow......"

Ning Zeqing stopped her words: "You go and see how the two lieutenants are tidying up, don't miss the hour tomorrow." ”

Wu Qingsheng could only retreat and not say anything.

Ning Zeqing picked up the jade pendant and looked at the candlelight, the transparent jade quality was even more obvious.

"What is broken is broken, and even if it is mended, it reminds me of his broken appearance. It's better to let him shatter and still seem real. ”

Early the next morning, Ning Zeqing and two deputy generals, led the hundred tribe army to leave Beijing, Wu Qingsheng watched outside the door for a long time, the prince Shi Shu rode a horse to the city gate, and told the people in the city to hear that the hundred tribe army was going to preach the national prestige, and they all came out to kneel and send.

The Hundred Tribes Army ushered in its first challenge after becoming an army.
