CHAPTER XXII

Three days later, Xiao Yu arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, and the women, children, and elderly people from Luoyang to Jining were all moved to the Tiger Prison Pass, and 10,000 soldiers led by General Ning also arrived in Handan.

All the border troops are now in full array, and they don't know when Nan Chen will fight, maybe an hour later, or maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow......

The two brothers of the Chen family took a few days off from Emperor Shunning, and returned to the Chen Mansion to accompany Chen Xinyu for a few days.

Lin Tong also lived in Chen's Mansion and accompanied Chen Xinyu every day.

The two sat in the courtyard, Xiao Ming served two cups of tea, Chen Xinyu didn't move, her delicate face was full of sadness, until the heat in the teacup slowly disappeared.

Lin Tong has been with her for the past few days, and she has said everything she should say, and now she doesn't know what to say, and now she is just drinking tea quietly.

Chen Xinyu adjusted her mood and looked at Lin Tong with a smile, "Xiao Tong, the beloved one is leading the troops, and everyone will be worried, and the millions of people on the border, once the war starts, the lives will be ruined, alas, I don't know when this troubled world will end?" ”

Lin Tong put down the teacup and looked at Chen Xinyu with a smile and said: "Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, he will definitely be able to end the troubled times in the north and south, and the prince will lead the troops to fight invincible in the capital, everyone knows it, he will definitely be able to defeat Nan Chen and return to Beijing with honor."

Chen Xinyu's eyes looked at the teacup, her slender fingers touched the teacup, her eyes were proud and resolute, and the corners of her mouth murmured: "I also believe that he can."

At this time, in the imperial study of the palace, Chen Tianyu knelt below, his head buried in the ground, and Emperor Shunning, who had a lot of hair on both sides, sat on it and sighed, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Chen Tianyu raised his head and said resolutely: "As a sergeant of Daliang, the minister should protect his family and defend the country, and now that Nan Chen is coming, he is willing to resign from the post of deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, go to Handan, and fight against Nan Chen with General Ning, and protect the people of Daliang." After saying that, he buried his head in the ground again.

Emperor Shunning looked at his eyes, and after three moments, Emperor Shunning slowly spoke: "Okay, set off immediately."

Chen Tianyu raised his buried head and said with some excitement: "Thank you, Emperor!"

"Okay, go back and say goodbye to your family, come back with a victory, and I will give you an official and a knight." Emperor Shunning stood up as he said and looked at Zhao Xin pointing to the cup on the table, Zhao Xin immediately took it, and Emperor Shunning took the cup and shouted, "Come and serve wine."

Chen Tianyu also stood up and understood what Emperor Shunning meant.

The little eunuch came in, Emperor Shunning took the wine glass and waved his hand to let the little eunuch out, and said as he went, "This wine, my Liang has never been as good as Nan Chen's taste, come to Qing, drink this glass of wine, I will practice it for you." ”

Chen Tianyu took the wine glass and said excitedly: "One day, Nan Chen's wine will be Daliang's wine!"

After taking a sip, he picked up the teacup and bent down to step by step out of the imperial study.

Emperor Shunning looked at Chen Tianyu, who had withdrawn, "I need such a person in Daliang." ”

Zhao Xin smiled, "It's all Your Majesty's enlightenment, and my Liang is thriving." ”

Emperor Shunning snorted, "Okay, let the Zhongshu Province draw up the decree, resign from Chen Tianyu's post as the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and accept the garrison general, and immediately set off for Handan to assist Ning Xi." ”

Zhao Xin was ordered to go out.

Chen Tianyu returned to Chen's Mansion, and the holy decree also went down to Chen's Mansion, and Lin Tong returned to Lin's Mansion after breakfast.

Chen Lexin was still in the ministry, and the little servants in the Chen Mansion went to pack up their things, Yang Qianrou in the Tingchun Pavilion looked at the holy decree, looked at Chen Tianyu who was kneeling on the ground, wiped a tear, and said with a smile: "As a Liang soldier, the country is in trouble, and it will finally be the time for Yu'er to serve the country."

Kneeling on the ground, Chen Tianyu also held back a tear, "Mother, I will definitely win the battle and come back safely."

"Mother is proud of you, at this time, my mother embroidered the sachet for you, I originally thought that I would give it to you in two days, so take it now."

Chen Tianyu took the sachet and kowtowed three times.

Yang Qianrou touched Chen Tianyu's face in the past, stopped talking, and slowly spit out the corners of her mouth after a while, "Okay, my mother is sleepy, you should hurry up." After saying that, he put down his hand and walked to the bed and leaned on.

Chen Tianyu kowtowed again and walked out.

At this time, Chen Xinyu and Chen Tianwen were also waiting for him outside.

Chen Xinyu watched Chen Tianyu come out in front of him, walked over and took Chen Tianyu's hand and said reluctantly, "Second brother."

Chen Tianyu looked at the uncomfortable Chen Xinyu and touched her head, "Don't worry, the second brother promises you that you will come back safely, and I will carry you to the sedan chair." ”

Chen Tianwen said at this time: "Don't rob me, it's me who carries my little sister, you only have to come back and watch."

"I told my little sister a long time ago."

"When? I don't know. ”

Chen Xinyu squeezed out a smile when she listened to the words of the two, "Second brother, I'll let you carry enough when you come back." ”

Chen Tianyu looked at his brother and sister, and the reluctance in his eyes slowly grew, "You accompany your mother more, time is urgent, I won't talk more, help me say goodbye to my father, big brother and little sister, wait for me to come back." ”

After speaking, he turned around and stepped out of the Chen Mansion.

The two watched Chen Tianyu's back disappear into Chen's mansion.

Chen Xinyu looked at Chen Tianwen and said, "Big brother, let's go in and accompany my mother." ”

"Okay."

The two accompanied Yang Qianrou for a while.

After lunch, Chen Xinyu took Xiao Ming out of Chen's mansion, Ning Shu followed, and Xiao Yu arranged Ning Shu beside Chen Xinyu.

The three of them walked down the street.

Chen Xinyu asked Xiang Ning Shu, "Ning Shu, is there any news of the prince?"

Ning Shu replied: "Back to Niangniang, the prince has arrived in Kaifeng Mansion. ”

Chen Xinyu thought to herself that it was okay to have Ning Shu, and it was not so troublesome to inquire about the news.

Xiao Ming comforted: "Miss, you don't have to worry too much, the second son is going to garrison, and he will not send troops until the situation is urgent. ”

Chen Xinyu was amused by Xiao Ming, "What are you talking about?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few people rode horses and galloped over, and they were still shouting: "Dali Temple handles the case, dodge!"

Chen Xinyu is listening below, Dali Temple?

At this time, Xiao Yunchun also rode a horse to catch up behind, his equestrian skills were not good and he rode slowly, and he saw Chen Xinyu at a glance.

"Fifth aunt." Xiao Yunchun stopped his horse.

Chen Xinyu also looked at it suspiciously, "Second Highness? ”

The trio saluted.

Xiao Yunchun got off the horse and explained: "My father got me to Dali Temple, so I did." I didn't say I didn't know how to ride a horse.

Chen Xinyu sighed, "Then Second Highness, why are you still chatting with us here?" ”

Xiao Yunchun snorted, "I'm just going to make up for it, it's the same with me or not, but the fifth aunt has been going out less recently, and the Dali Temple and the secret guards have to catch the Wude Division personnel lurking in Lingjing, pay attention to safety." ”

"So you're going?"

Xiao Yunchun became serious, "No, the second son of General Ning was assassinated today, but the Ning Mansion is a family of generals, and the guards came in time, so the second son was just injured, and the assassin ran away. ”

At this time, someone from Dali Temple came back, "Second Highness, Lord Siqing asked you to follow." After saying that, he hurried back.

"Okay, Aunt Five, then I'll go." After saying that, he stepped on the horse and left.

Chen Xinyu thought about what he just said, the second son of Ning Mansion was assassinated, and General Ning is now garrisoning in Handan, what is the connection?
