Chapter 202: The Dangerous Road Requires Walking
Chen hid behind her husband, but she still pricked up her ears, she didn't expect that last night's angry words were really heard, this person was still A Ning.
She was afraid that Ah Ning would say something ugly, saying that she was giving them the big courtyard, but in fact, she came over and pretended to embarrass her.
"Uncle, I didn't mean to listen to you, but I think what my aunt said makes sense. Ah Ning first opened her mouth to explain that she eavesdropped on other people's conversations last night, whether it was active or unintentional, it was very impolite.
"The commander of the right army, it really shouldn't be up to me, in terms of qualifications and military exploits, Ah Ning is not as good as his uncle. Even when my father was alive, he said that you saved his life countless times and have always supported him with all your might. Ah Ning's eyes were sincere, and what she said was not a lie.
Chen poked his head out, but he didn't hear any ugly mockery, and Ah Ning didn't put on a general's stand.
"But the commander of the Right Army is not only involved in the Right Army. There is still Ah Ning to face in this position, uncle, you know better than me. What Ah Ning said was that Bai Boxian used her to contain Bai Yingwu and put the right army into the hands of the royal family a few years later, and it was precisely because she was a woman that Bai Boxian saw the hope that this matter was feasible.
If Bai Boxian handed over the right army to Xu Zihou or any other general, it was just another Xu Dingbang, and he might not be loyal to him.
At that time, if the new commander of the Right Army is not Bai Yingwu's opponent or is directly loyal to Bai Yingwu, then Bai Boxian will really have no skills.
Xu Zihou naturally understands this. So he supports Ah Ning, because he is just a rough man, he can't sit in that position for a long time, and he will even implicate his family.
"Xiao Ning, needless to say, your uncle will treat you like he did to your eldest brother!" Xu Zihou stopped Ah Ning from continuing, there are some things that can't be known to his family, and the more things he knows that shouldn't be known, the more dangerous it becomes.
Chen secretly twisted Xu Zihou, saying that he wanted to smear Ah Ning's liver and brain, is there still this home in his heart?
Xu Zihou was in pain, but he did not expose it.
Ah Ning naturally knows the severity, she came this time not for state affairs, but for family affairs.
"Ah Ning sent Xu Mansion to his uncle, but out of sincerity, and had no other meaning. Ah Ning paused and glanced at Chen, the reason why she said that it was given to Xu Zihou instead of Chen was because she didn't want them to misunderstand.
"After my father went, my uncle was the pillar of the family, and Ah Ning was going to get married eventually, and the marriage contract was still approved by the king. "Xu Zihou's family knows that Ah Ning will marry Bai Zixi, the son of the king, in a few years, and the king's order cannot be violated.
"And Ah Ning has been on the march in the past few years, and occasionally when he lives there, he has to bother his uncle's family to take care of it. Now that my father has passed away, it's a pity to leave him empty, so it's better to give it to my uncle. What Ah Ning said is the truth, she has no way out, no home.
In that courtyard, she had nothing left to be nostalgic about. Her past, her future, will be buried in the sea of corpses and blood!
But Xu Zihou is different, he still has a family, and he still has things that are difficult to give up. she
can't let Xu Zihou accompany him to the point of no return, that would be too selfish.
"Besides, Mu Qing is going to marry a wife in two years, and his uncle's family is going to spread out, presumably his father also agrees with Ah Ning to give that yard to his uncle, in the final analysis, it's just a yard. "Xu Dingbang only has an only daughter, Ah Ning, which is also one of the reasons why the old monarch is reassuring of him.
Xu Zihou was speechless, Xu Dingbang had told him many times that he was proud to have a daughter like A Ning, and because Xu Zihou had Mu Qing, Xu Dingbang insisted on not marrying a wife again.
After the Xu family already exists, he just wants to be good to his daughter wholeheartedly.
Chen Shi walked out from behind Xu Zihou and twisted: "Little ...... Xiao Ning, your aunt will always help you keep it. ”
Xu Zihou hadn't accepted it yet, but the Chen family had already regarded the courtyard as his own, which made him feel ashamed.
"Thank you, auntie, you have been busy all these years, and my father and I have been thinking of you well. Although her aunt seemed mean, she never treated her badly.
When her mother died when she was a child, she lived in her aunt's house, and the Chen family had three children alone, and she didn't favor one over the other because Ah Ning was not her own, and Ah Ning remembered it.
Chen just complained to Xu Zihou, and did not deliberately target her, she knew all this.
Ah Ning came out of Xu Zihou's house, and in that home, her only remaining relatives in this world lived.
She couldn't let them take risks for the sake of what they wanted in their hearts, and what she had to do, even she couldn't protect herself, so she decided not to let Xu Zihou and them get involved.
The dangerous road still needs her to walk alone, so that she has no worries, so that she can let go of her hands and feet, she will be alone, holding the sword, to face the unfair world!
There is only so much she can do for Xu Zihou and them. Regarding the military camp, she will let Xu Zihou return to the field as soon as possible, so that they will not be Bai Yingwu's target.
Bai Yingwu's opponent will only have Bai Boxian and her Xu Ning!
But she didn't tell Xu Zihou this now, she knew that Xu Zihou would never agree to her doing this.
However, Xu Zihou is already old, as old as her father, and he should no longer face those battles that do not belong to him.
Ah Ning went back to pack her bags, and it was just a few changes of clothes. After years in the army, she didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry, but she knew she didn't need that.
She sorted out her father's relics, except for the ruoli, she left them all in the Xu Mansion and left them to Xu Zihou.
Two days later, Ah Ning's injuries were no longer in the way, and she wanted to continue on the road to collect the other right troops.
"Xiao Ning, what's going on?" On this day, Xu Zihou angrily stopped Ah Ning.
Ah Ning wore a grimace and a bronze face, rode on a war horse, and outside the city, there were three thousand armor soldiers waiting for her.
Xu Zihou suddenly received an appointment today, and the king personally ordered Xu Zihou to be named a loyal and brave uncle, remembering his hard work and achievements in his career as a horseman, and pardoning him for his disarming and returning to the field, and living in the white capital.
This is what Ah Ning fought for Xu Zihou's family from Bai Boxian, and Bai Boxian was different at first
Meaning.
Because Ah Ning is not fully in charge of the right army now, and Xu Zihou's men and horses are the most loyal to her, he can't let Xu Ning weaken his control over the army.
But Ah Ning knelt down and begged Bai Boxian, her Xu family, who had been loyal to Bai Guo for decades, and Xu Dingbang even died in battle for him.
And the Xu family, only Xu Zihou is left, Mu Qing is not yet an adult, and a daughter is also young. If something happens to Xu Zihou, the sky of the Xu family will really collapse.
And Ah Ning herself, with worries, can't fight bravely on the battlefield ahead.
Bai Boxian's eyes narrowed when he heard Ah Ning's words, Ah Ning was threatening Bai Boxian with himself.
But Bai Boxian finally agreed, he could do without Xu Zihou, but he couldn't do without Xu Ning and her right army.
Bai Boxian had no choice, he didn't expect that Ah Ning inherited Xu Dingbang's ability, but he didn't have his loyalty.
But fortunately, she is a woman, otherwise, it would be a tiger again!
Bai Boxian told Ah Ning that she could rest assured that she would serve the country with loyalty, and her uncle's family would live well in Baidu under his care.
Ah Ning knew that he was threatening himself with his uncle's family.
But Ah Ning also knew that if the right army was in his hands for a day, Bai Boxian would not make a move on his uncle.
Even if she loses in the hands of Bai Yingwu, Bai Boxian herself will not be able to protect herself, how can she take care of her uncle's family.
And Ah Ning still has a letter among the things he left for his uncle, if she is okay in front of her, it will be fine.
If she is defeated, Bai Yingwu will come to the city to force Bai Boxian to the palace in a few days. When the time comes, I hope that his uncle will prepare early and leave the white country.
The savings her father had left behind would eventually come to fruition.
Xu Zihou looked at Ah Ning, Ah Ning's face was completely covered by a mask, and only her firm eyes could be seen.
"Uncle Zhongyong, take care, say hello to my aunt, Mu Qing and Wan'er for me. Xu Ning patted the horse's back lightly and walked out of the city.
Xu Dingbang froze in place, yes, he still has a home, he is not without concerns.
But Xiao Ning, you are also your uncle's family!
What Xu Zihou saw was just one person and one ride, and one sword was invincible.
Xu Zihou looked at this prosperous white capital, as if he was in a different world. After so many years in the military, he has long forgotten what life is like in the world, and now, his niece has to carry the burden for him.
Click! There was a thick thunderbolt across the sky, and it was going to rain, a lot of rain.
Not to mention Xu Zihou's worries, on the way to the border pass, in the heavy rain and mud, a thousand-strong army was marching with difficulty.
Bai Zimo led the horse, and the war horse was a little restless, which was affected by heavy rain and thunder. He himself was bored, and it suddenly rained heavily, and they walked between a very difficult mountain road.
There is nothing to shelter from the rain for dozens of miles before and after, and those grains and grasses can't stand the dampness.
A soldier whipped a slave, and the slave fell to the ground in pain: "Push hard, don't be lazy!"
Hundreds of slaves were scattered between more than a hundred carriages,
The horses are pulled in front, and they are pushed in the back.
But the wheels got stuck in the mud and kept slipping, and they couldn't move at all, and the terrain was uphill.
Their group of soldiers is seriously overstaffed, and these military slaves can still be watched when they are tied together, and if they are scattered, they will have to be stared at by all of them, for fear that something will go wrong.
The cripple followed You, and they were behind a carriage. The carriage had been covered with a thick cloth for pitching the tent, and the carriage was already protected from rain, but it could not last long with such heavy rain.
The grain on the wagons will be spoiled by moisture, and in a short period of time, it will not be possible to raise so much military rations.
The mountain road was crowded with people and cars, and they didn't know how long it would rain, so they didn't dare to wait, so they could only brave the rain to hurry.
Cripple, let alone a cart, he even has a problem walking steadily on such a mountain road. The muddy water has covered the surface of their feet, and it won't be long before the mud and sand will be brought down, and the road will be more difficult to walk.
"General, we must find a way, we can't rush anymore. A centurion wiped the rain off his face and reported to Bai Zimo that those slaves couldn't go far with whips, and this was no longer something that could be changed by manpower.
"Climb over this mountain, walk a few more miles, I have a way!" Bai Zimo thought about it again, and finally remembered that this is not a place without shelter from the rain!
