Yun Yishu was very happy to be selected as the vanguard general.

She didn't know that Hua Lanyao and Ning Shangmo were unhappy because they couldn't go on the expedition, and as soon as they entered the door, they smiled happily: "Mo'er, Xiao Huazi, help me think about what I should prepare for this expedition." ”

Ning Shangmo asked lightly, "What is there to prepare?" Fighting a war is not going out to play. Just take your head and sword with you. Anyway, you have to march and fight every day, isn't it a burden to carry things? ”

Yun Yishu nodded in response: "Yes, this is indeed the case." ”

Leng Qingrong glanced at her vigorously on the side, and only then did she react, Ning Shangmo and Yun Yishu were a little unhappy. I didn't want to say anything more, and stood silently aside.

The eldest princess of Xiliang and her husband then walked into the hall.

"Xiangye, we also want to follow the army."

Ming shook his head when he heard this, and said, "This time, Mo'er and Hua Lanyao are both staying in the imperial city, and you husband and wife can't go out with the army." In this battle, you will inevitably fight with the Xiliang people, will you fight or not at that time? After all, you are Xiliang people, and you have the blood of Xiliang people, how can you fight against them? Or stay in this Daling Imperial City, accompany Mo'er and them to be responsible for raising food and salaries for the soldiers in front of them to protect the imperial city. ”

After listening to this, the eldest princess of Xiliang and his wife nodded, expressing their approval of his arrangement.

The battle reports at the front are frequent, and the expedition cannot be delayed.

Yan Nanhao ordered that two days later, the conquest army set off to meet the combined forces of Northern Mongolia and Western Liang.

Ming Qingyan and Leng Qingrong and the others were preparing to go on the expedition, and they were busy with their feet in the sky.

It wasn't until the night before the expedition that Ming Qingyan went back to his room to sleep and met Ning Shangmo.

The two naturally had an endless lingering, a night of spring breeze.

The next morning, after the two had breakfast, they were reluctant to stare at each other, and then their eyes were full of tears.

They can be regarded as newlyweds, and it is when they are like glue, so they are naturally inseparable.

However, the departure of the conquest army is in time, and it must not be delayed, otherwise it will be killed. Even if Ming Qingyan is the prime minister of the dynasty and the military advisor of the army, he cannot be an exception.

Ning Shangmo endured the reluctance in his heart, choked up and asked, "Zhuqing, what time is it?" ”

Zhu Qingfu replied: "Madam, it is less than half an hour before the expedition begins. ”

Ning Shangmo nodded slightly, forced a smile, and said to Ming lightly: "Husband, it's time to go." ”

Ming Qingyan also nodded at her slightly, but did not get up, and he was also very reluctant at this time.

Ning Shangmo saw him sitting still, thinking that there was still some time before departure, so he said loudly: "Husband, do you want to take the house in Mingmei?" ”

Ming shook his head lightly and said, "I won't take her in." ”

Ning Shangmo nodded, "In this way, then we might as well fulfill Mingmei's mind and find her a family affair that knows the roots, so that after she gets married, if she still wants to be in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she can be an internal housekeeper." ”

Ming replied lightly: "Okay, everything is up to Madame." ”

"I am Ning Yi, the second housekeeper of Ning Mansion, single and unmarried, honest and honest, and can be entrusted for life. Would it be good to marry him brightly? Ning Shangmo asked out loud.

Ming Qingyan listened, looked at Mingmei, and asked softly, "Madame's arrangement, what do you think of yourself?" ”

"Xiangye, the slave is willing, I know that Madame is good for me and for me. She has promised me that if you are willing to be taken in, she is willing to serve you with me. It's that I don't agree, and now that Madame is kind enough to plan for me, the slave should be grateful. However, Steward Ning is only afraid that the slave and maid are not worthy. Mingmei was afraid that Ming's words would misunderstand that Ning Shangmo wanted to send her, so she explained in a loud voice.

In fact, her worries were completely unnecessary, and Ming Qingyan naturally believed Ning Shangmo.

Ning Shangmo also smiled and said: "There is no one who is not worthy of it, if Ning Yi likes you, are you willing to marry?" It doesn't matter if you don't want to get married, just find a lover. ”

Mingmei nodded and responded: "As long as Steward Ning is willing to marry a slave, the slave is willing to marry him and have children." ”

Ning Shangmo saw that she agreed, so he raised his voice and ordered: "Zhuqing, invite Ning Yi's housekeeper quickly." ”

Zhu Qing promised to leave, and came back very open, followed by Ning Yi.

"Ning Yi, are you willing to go to Mingmei as a wife?" Ning Shangmo pointed to Mingmei and asked with a smile.

Ning Yi's face couldn't help but turn red, and he looked at Mingmei with some embarrassment.

Just when he was looking at Qingming Mei's appearance, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Xi'er? Is it really you? ”

Mingmei heard him shout like this, and couldn't help but look at her in surprise, no one in the Ming Mansion knew that her name was Xi'er. That was the name of the milk she was at home before she was eight years old before she entered the Ming Mansion.

"Are you ......" she looked at Ning Yi puzzled and asked out loud.

"I'm your cousin, Tao'er." Ning Yi said with a look of surprise: "I didn't expect to see you here." ”

"You're Brother Tao?" Hearing it brightly, it was also a surprise to shed tears.

"I am." Ning Yi stepped forward and grabbed her hand as he spoke, and asked softly, "How did you come to the Ming Mansion?" ”

"In that famine, my parents took me out to ask for food, they all died, and I was sold into the Ming Mansion. Fortunately, I came here, but I don't know what the situation would be. Mingmei said aloud.

"I'm in a similar situation." Ning Yi couldn't help sighing, and there was tender pity for Mingmei in his eyes.

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but smile: "That's it, it's very good, I don't mean to be wrongly married." ”

Ming Qingyan also nodded and smiled: "Both of you are both old, so Mrs. will be the master of your marriage." ”

Ning Yi and Mingmei both kowtowed and thanked them, and then, under the instruction of Ning Shangmo, the two happily held hands and left, recounting their feelings after parting.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, Ning Shangmo was very happy in his heart. Mingmei can get this good fate, and a stone in her heart finally lands.

In fact, she was unwilling to do so in her heart, so she said lightly and entered the room. However, if Mingmei agreed, she naturally had nothing to say. After all, she has been serving him for so long, and she should take the house. However, Ming lightly said that if she accepted another woman as a concubine, she would definitely not agree.

"What time is Zhuqing now?" Finishing the bright things, she asked out loud.

"Madam, don't worry, we can talk for a while." Ming Qingyan knew that Ning Shangmo was also reluctant to let him leave, so he would talk about it, as if there were many things to deal with in front of him, so he said out loud.

But Ning Shangmo really couldn't think of anything else to say, and he couldn't say it directly, so he was reluctant to leave lightly. He had to say aloud: "It's better to leave early, so as not to miss the hour." ”

Ming nodded lightly and replied, "Okay, can that lady send me out of the city?" ”

Ning Shangmo did not refuse, the two went out together, and Mingyu had already prepared the carriage. The two sat in the same carriage and neither spoke at first.

Later, Ming Qingyan gently took her in his arms and said softly: "Mo'er, after I leave, you have to take care of yourself, find someone to discuss in case of trouble, and don't be alone in your stomach." ”

Ning Shangmo nodded slightly, "I know it's not a child." ”

"If you were a child, I would be relieved." Ming Qingyan stretched out his hand and gently scraped the bridge of her nose, and said angrily: "Don't be reckless in everything, protect yourself for me." ”

"I know, you have to take care of yourself outside. Waiting for you to come back safely. Ning Shangmo also said lightly with a serious warning face, "If not, I won't let you go." ”

Ming Qingyan held her hand in his hand and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, it will." ”

After that, neither of them spoke again, just clasped hands tightly and stared deeply at each other.

This is the first time they have parted after marriage, and it is also the most ecstatic.

Ning Shangmo had never felt like this, as if his heart was about to be taken off, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.

Although I hope that the road will not be completed so quickly, it will eventually come to an end.

"Mrs. Xiangye, it's here." The carriage stopped, and Mingyu stood next to the carriage and whispered through the curtain.

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then forced a smile: "Xianggong, get out of the car." ”

Ming nodded at her lightly, looked at her fixedly for a while, and then resolutely got up and got out of the carriage. Then he helped Ning Shangmo get out of the car.

At this time, the conquest army was ready to go. The soldiers were all in high spirits.

Yun Yishu, as the vanguard general, had already led the troops the day before, accompanied by Mo Bai.

After getting out of the car, Ning Shangmo looked at his two intimate maids and asked softly, "Xiangye has brought all the things?" ”

Zhu Qing nodded and responded: "Madam, I have brought it all, and the burden that Sister Mingmei personally packed up is foolproof." ”

Ning Shangmo nodded, and told Mingyu and Mingqing again, "You must take care of Xiangye when you are outside." I put all those pills in the box, and remember to give them to Xiangye on time. ”

Ming Qingyu also nodded in response: "Madam, we have all written it down." You've got boxes full of pills, we've all taken note of what they're up to. Don't worry, Mingxiang will be fine, we will ...... with our lives"

"You must also be well, and when you come back, I will marry you. Ming rain and bamboo leaves, Ming and Qing dynasties and bamboo green. Ning Shangmo didn't want to hear any unlucky words at this time, so he interrupted them and changed the topic.

The four of them blushed suddenly, and Ning Shangmo took Ming Qingyan's hand and walked towards the conquest army.

The emperor and Ning Yunni were already standing on the platform.

Seeing them coming, Ning Yunni looked at Ning Shangmo with sympathy, my poor sister, it has only been a few days since she was newly married Yan'er, and she is going to send her husband to the battlefield to kill the enemy, which is really sad enough.

Ning Shangmo pretended to smile at her relaxedly, saying that he was not sad.

With Yan Nanhao's order, set off.

The army of conquest was mighty and unleashed.

Leng Qingrong and Ming lightly rode their war horses and waved goodbye to them, and then walked at the front of the team, flanked by chess players under the banner of Da Ling, as well as guards.

Until the dust settled, the wide official road was as silent as ever, as if the army had not passed through the expedition just now. Only the red morning sun hangs in the sky, sprinkling wisps of golden light, shrouding everything in mystery, which seems real and illusory.
