The news that Lin Zhizhi was going to join the army was announced by Lin Jingsheng in front of the whole family.

Old Madam Lin was furious and punished Lin Jingsheng for kneeling in the courtyard of Ciyin Hall for several hours, but Lin Jingsheng always had only one sentence.

"Going to trouble for the country is the wish of the cause, and it is also the wish of the son!"

Regarding the news of the eldest brother, Lin Jiaruo knew about it earlier than others in the past, but this time, it was not until it was a foregone conclusion that she received the letter from the eldest brother to her.

“…… This time it is gone, and the return date is uncertain...... I can't pass on the name of the Golden Palace, and I have negative hopes for Ah Ruo, and I'm afraid Ah Ruo will blame me...... When I return to Beijing victoriously and return to worship the general, I will invite Ah Ruo to ride the street with me, okay? ”

Lin Jiaruo put down the letter, sat alone in the room for a while, and suddenly got into the bedroom, climbed onto the bed, and found an old talisman from under the pillow.

It was a long, long time ago, and the talisman she asked for from Yunlin Temple always failed to give it to her eldest brother by mistake.

She held the talisman in a daze, her heart empty, with nowhere to put it.

When she was in a daze, a post from Gan Qiuya was sent outside, inviting her to Lan Yuruo for a get-together.

There are two officials in the Gan family in Beijing, one is Gan Mingcong's father, and the other is Gan Mingcong's cousin, that is, Gan Qiuya's father.

"Could it be Gan Mingcong's post to you under the guise of Qiu Ya?" Xu Yaoning looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Jiaruo looked shocked: "Didn't Cousin Mingcong follow General Wei back to Suzhou?" ”

Xu Jiaoning held his forehead: "If they go back to Suzhou, we are going to see them off!" Have you ever sent it and don't know? ”

Lin Jiaruo said: "I forgot for a while...... Why didn't they leave? ”

"Probably concerned about the military situation on the front line!" Xu Haoning guessed wildly, waved his hand, and let him go.

The swallows beside Lin Jiaruo were transferred to protect Lin Yuanzhi, and only a master guard was left, and it was much easier to act than before.

When I arrived at Lan Yuruo, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Gan Mingcong - Xu Yaoning guessed correctly, and Gan Qiuya didn't even appear.

"Did my cousin really go to the army?" Gan Mingcong asked as soon as he saw her.

"You know it too......" Lin Jiaruo looked lonely.

Gan Mingcong seemed very excited, and while walking in with her, he said: "Listen to what my grandfather said, it seems that my cousin Zhizhi is going to the Jingnan Army, but I don't know whether it is the one in Hangzhou Mansion or the one in Jiangning Mansion——"

"Jiangning Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion both have the descendants of the Wei family, and they can take care of one or two, and Hangzhou Mansion will have no ......"

Lin Jiaruo snorted lightly: "My eldest brother is so powerful, it's the same wherever you go!" ”

Gan Mingcong said yes repeatedly, and showed regret on his face, and said: "It's a pity that my grandfather still won't let me go, if only I was a few years older!" ”

Lin Jiaruo comforted him: "You work hard, when my eldest brother becomes a general, you can be a pioneer under him!" ”

Gan Mingcong smiled when he heard this, his face full of longing.

"Aren't you going back to Suzhou?" Lin Jiaruo asked.

"There is no good news from the front line, and I don't feel at ease!" Gan Mingcong frowned, revealing a little worry.

Lin Jiaruo sighed and looked forward.

Unconsciously, I walked to the door of the flower room.

Standing at the door, I just saw Gardenia standing in front of a pot of flowers and trees.

This season, the branches and leaves are already bald, and there is really nothing to see, but she looks very seriously, and her expression is far away, and she doesn't know what to think.

If Lin Jia recognized the pot of bald branches, it was originally a pot of white magnolia, which was transported by gardenia all the way from Yuhang to the capital.

"I was worried that it would die on the way!" Lin Jiaruo said.

Gardenia then noticed that there were two more people at the door.

She smiled slightly and said, "As long as someone sincerely wants it to live, it can live." ”

What she said was meaningful, Lin Jiaruo was touched in her heart when she heard it, and subconsciously took out the talisman in her arms, and murmured: "I also sincerely want my eldest brother to return safely......"

"What is this?" Gan Mingcong asked.

"It's- hmm...... The peace charm I asked for for my eldest brother many years ago, but I have always forgotten to ......give it to him," Lin Jiaruo said in frustration, "Now that he is going to the battlefield, I still don't have a chance to give it to him......"

Suddenly turned his head and asked Gan Mingcong: "If I don't bring it with him, will the Bodhisattva know that I am sincerely begging for the safe return of my eldest brother?" ”

Gan Mingcong scratched his head, he didn't know much about the Bodhisattva.

But he also has his own ideas: "Then you can send it to your cousin!" ”

Both girls were stunned.

"Send it, send it to the big brother?" Lin Jiaruo looked at the talisman in his hand at a loss, and then looked at Gan Mingcong.

Gan Mingcong nodded as a matter of course: "That's right! The Jingnan army is now in Dingzhou, Zhizhi's cousin is definitely going to Dingzhou to join the army, we only need one day to Dingzhou to ride a horse here, if you arrive in Dingzhou, Zhizhi's cousin has not arrived, just go to Henan Mansion along the official road, you will always meet on the way! ”

Sounds like a no-brainer......

"But ......" Lin Jiaruo still hesitated.

Gan Mingcong looked at her suddenly and said, "It's okay, I have a guide, I'll take you there!" ”

I have to say that Gan Mingcong is really efficient.

An hour later, two horses and three men went out of the gates.

Lin Jiaruo still felt uneasy when he thought about it: "I really don't think I have said hello to my father and mother yet......"

Although Gan Mingcong is not very old, he already has a bit of sassy and heroic appearance on a horse.

Hearing Lin Jiaruo's concern, he first rolled his eyes and said, "I said hello to them, I can't leave!" ”

His tone changed, and he comforted her in a brotherly manner: "It's okay, we don't go out privately, aren't we still accompanied by your master?" One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a mother, your master can be the master! ”

Lin Jiaruo looked up at Long Yujiao, who was expressionless, Long Yujiao nodded, and said coldly: "If you want to go, you can go, Master is approved!" ”

Then there is nothing to worry about, Lin Jiaruo touched the talisman hidden in his chest, bent his eyebrows, and shouted: "Drive!" ”

Long Yujiao shook the reins and galloped away with her.

Big brother, I'm coming!

Soon, Lin Jiaruo knew that a quick horse for a day was not as simple as she imagined.

They set off in the afternoon, and after walking less than half the way, it was dark, because they were afraid that their families would catch up, and at the instigation of Gan Mingcong, they chose to rush overnight.

Long Yujiao took the belt and tied Lin Jiaruo to herself, let her sleep on horseback for a night, and when she woke up the next day, Lin Jiaruo felt that her bones were scattered and her body was sore.

The two of them were in a hurry to pass the night, they didn't sleep all night, and they looked more energetic than Lin Jiaruo.

But no matter how mentally it is, it is inevitable that there will be negligence.

As he galloped, suddenly, the horse stumbled and neighed, falling forward.

Long Yujiao immediately jumped up with Lin Jiaruo in her arms, stepped back, and fell to the ground; Gan Mingcong also left the horse's back at the same time, but rushed forward, his right hand into a claw, to catch the person who was sitting in the tree and watching the excitement.
