Rebirth of Weak Daughter of the General’s Family - Chapter 153
After a while, Ping Yuan Hou arrived. Before entering the hall, he coughed first. Then, he walked heavily to the court hall, and after saluting, he said to the emperor: “The emperor, the Beirong has violated the border. Although the minister is old, he is willing to lead the righteous soldiers to fight against the enemy. Please the emperor’s permission.”
After Pingyuan Hou resigned his military power, the emperor hadn’t seen him much. The emperor was surprised to find that Ping Yuanhou, who was thin and sturdy when he was young, had become a thick and somewhat hunched middle-aged man with gray hair at his temples. At this time, his alertness was greatly reduced. Aging is always associated with weakness. Pingyuan Hou has no past, so he can be more trustworthy.
Seeing that the emperor hesitated, Ping Yuanhou asked again: “The minister knows that he is no longer in the past, and the eldest son of the emperor’s quasi minister is invited to lead the vanguard and go out with the minister.”
Hearing Ping Yuan Hou said that he was old, the emperor felt relieved and not at ease: Ping Yuan Hou was old, but people said that Jiang was old and spicy. He was unpredictable when he was young. Isn’t he more powerful when he is old? At that time, I dared to calculate the four princesses, and then avoided the south for so many years. He asked his son to lead the army with him, is he loyal or does he want to use this to clean up his son, so that I will no longer pursue the past. On the other hand, if he is really past his prime, what can he do on the battlefield…
The emperor seemed to be hesitant in thinking about it here. The three princes stood up and said: “Father, my boy is willing to serve as the supervising army and meet Ping Yuanhou!”
The prince opened his mouth and said: “Father, Ping Yuan Hou was once the leader of the army, and there must be a strong general under his hand. Now it is like a leader of the volunteers, and the three emperors are willing to supervise the army, the boy thinks they will be able to defeat Bei Rong “He actually agreed with the third prince!
The emperor’s heart moved: What he was afraid of in the past was that the Pingyuan Hou Army was powerful, and his soldiers would be strong and concentric. At that time, his full gate could not be destroyed because he had a son outside who was able to recruit the old ministry. Now Bei Rong is coming fast, he has called his son back, and his subordinates will definitely go out together. If it happens to kill two birds with one stone, let them fight for life and death, and lose some of their worries.
The emperor nodded: “Okay, make an order, Pingyuan Hou leads the volunteers, his eldest son is the vanguard, and the three princes are the supervising army. They will set off soon to resist the Beirong…”
Zhang Yunming, who was close to the capital, quickly received a letter: “Grandpa! Lord Hou has the order, and the righteous soldiers are assembled in the capital! Lord Hou said that your people should not enter the city, just wait outside, and he will talk to him after he leaves Beijing. He rendezvous. The son will only take a hundred people.”
Zhang Yunming said: “Okay.” He said to Master Song and the others: “You guys, I will go back to the city to see Lord Hou.”
Zhang Yunming rushed into Beijing with a hundred people. This was the first time that Zhang Yunming had returned to the mansion after leaving the capital quietly that year. When Li heard the message, he had to greet him at the courtyard gate in person. Ping Yuanhou had no choice but to follow her to the front yard, with a little disapproval in his heart: Where is Lao Tzu to welcome his son?
As soon as Li saw his son who was completely adult, with a dark and thin complexion and even wrinkles on the corners of his eyes, he burst into tears. Ping Yuan Hou was also a little uncomfortable, and felt that it would be fine to meet the front. How much bitter my son has suffered outside these years…Although he did not have as much bitterness as he did when he was young, his son has been in the mountains for so many years. It is indeed not easy…
Zhang Yunming knelt down to his parents, and said with tears: “The child is not filial…”
Li cried and helped Zhang Yunming up, and whimpered, “Get up quickly, it really hurts you…”
Zhang Yunming looked at Ping Yuanhou. Although Ping Yuanhou was in tears, he still held his figure and nodded: “Just come back… take a good rest…”
Zhang Yunming then saw Zhang Yunzhao behind the Li family, but did not recognize him for a while. When he left, Zhang Yunzhao was like a small sprout, listless, his face was white and yellow, and his chest couldn’t stand up. But now the boy straightened his chest and his eyes pierced. He saluted Zhang Yunming. Zhang Yunming smiled and said, “The little brother looks really energetic.”
Zhang Yunzhao couldn’t wait to show his martial arts to his elder brother. He stood on tiptoe and pulled Zhang Yunming’s arm and said, “Big brother, come with me! Let’s go in!”
Li frowned at Zhang Yunzhao: “Don’t bother your eldest brother! He is tired, so he must rest first!”
Zhang Yunming had something in his heart, so he said hurriedly, “Don’t be tired or tired, let’s go in.”
When several people arrived in the inner courtyard, Zhang Yunjin also came to salute with a veil, and left after greeting.
Ping Yuan Hou asked Li and Zhang Yunzhao to leave. Zhang Yunzhao was upset: “I have learned martial arts! I am also a man!”
Ping Yuan Hou looked at Zhang Yunzhao from the corner of his eye: “You can make the hair straight before you talk big!”
However, Zhang Yunming was very worried and said, “Father, my little brother has indeed grown up. It’s an extraordinary period now, so he should be sensible.”
Ping Yuan Hou curled his lips and said to Zhang Yunzhao, “You learn from your elder brother!”
Zhang Yunzhao nodded repeatedly, and Li didn’t want to leave, and said, “Master Hou, I didn’t care about these things in the past, but now I want to hear it.”
Ping Yuan Hou thought that Li would have to coordinate the inner courtyard for future matters, so he agreed that Li would stay as well. Then he said to Zhang Yunming: “Everything is going according to plan. The emperor allowed me to lead the troops. Now we are gathering volunteers in the city. Your mother is preparing for the military…”
Zhang Yunming frowned and said in a low voice: “I don’t worry about these, but the second brother will set up ambushes at the wine cellar. Before we arrive, intercept the hundreds of thousands of troops in Beirong…”
Ping Yuan Hou leaned forward abruptly: “What’s going on!”
Li also nervously held the silk and covered his lips.
Zhang Yunzhao asked: “Is the second brother the cousin who dragged me?”
Ping Yuanhou said sternly: “Call him second brother!”
Just as Zhang Yunzhao was about to argue, Zhang Yunming hissed and said in a low voice, “This matter is too confidential. Why didn’t my second brother tell me the details, so I couldn’t disclose the news. I dare not write it on paper or let someone talk.” . He said he would definitely be able to…”
Hou Ping Yuan knew that the wine cellar was prepared for Bei Rong, but he never thought that it was his second son who would actually execute it! He cursed: “What is it! We have no more than five hundred people over there!”
Zhang Yunzhao blinked vigorously and gestured with his fingers: “Five hundred people and hundreds of thousands”
There were tears in Li’s eyes again, and Zhang Yunming sighed: “I am also worried about this. Let Xiaoyao go to him on the way. Anyway, I should be able to take him out. It’s just that his temper…”
Ping Yuanhou cursed again: “That stupid fool!”
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, “He…has lost his mind…it must be done.”
Li cried: “Don’t talk about him like that! What can you do about this…how do you get lost when you talk about it?”
Zhang Yunming asked Ping Yuanhou: “Can I find him in advance”
Ping Yuanhou shook his head: “You can’t leave early. Although you are a pioneer, you have to walk with the army.” He frowned and thought for a moment and said, “Last time you said you had 20,000 people, right?”
Zhang Yunming said: “As soon as we launched the banner of northward reinforcements along our way, many people came to join the rebels. There should be 30,000 people outside the city.”
Ping Yuan Hou said: “Let’s set off as soon as possible, don’t waste time!”
Lee choked and wiped away his tears and said: “I will ask them to transport grain for you right away. These years there has been grain in the village. At that time, the grain sold in the disaster year made a lot of money. Last year, the price of grain fell and I bought it again. A lot of food, I let them buy food on the market during the New Year. Others, cloth shops and so on, have made a lot of clothes and socks. If there is anything to buy, tell me, I will do it…”
Hou Ping Yuan said to Li, “Thank you, Madam…”
Li cried and said, “Master Hou! What are you talking about now! Master Hou, Dalang…you must come back! Also bring Erlang back well, don’t let him get into trouble…” She kept on using her handkerchief. Wiping tears.
Zhang Yunzhao clenched a fist and said, “I want to go with you too!”
Zhang Yunming said: “No!”
Zhang Yunzhao said loudly, “What can’t be done! I practiced martial arts! My master is amazing! If you don’t believe me, let’s compete!”
Ping Yuanhou was upset because of Zhang Yunzheng’s affairs, and stared at Zhang Yunzhao: “What to try! I’ll slap you ass!”
Zhang Yunzhao was still afraid of his father, and muttered: “Why did you shoot so well…”
Zhang Yunming said solemnly: “Brother, I let you listen here because you have learned martial arts. After we leave, someone will besiege our house…”
Zhang Yunzhao was startled, “What! Someone came to attack!” He suddenly became a little unsure, and said, “I have to call my good friend…”
Ping Yuanhou said, “Is this the little boy in Zhenbeihou, don’t think about it, he still has to protect their home.”
Zhang Yunzhao hesitated and said, “Then let the people from the two provinces be together.”
Zhang Yunming shook his head and said, “Can’t be together.”
Ping Yuan Hou also nodded and said: “Even if we have avoided this time, we will leave our two houses with the same life and death in the future, and let the royal taboo.”
Zhang Yunming said to Zhang Yunzhao: “We will take away most of the guards as soon as we leave. You retreat to the inner courtyard and do your best to defend and protect your mother, your sister, and your relatives. You have a great responsibility.”
Zhang Yunzhao clenched his fist and nodded: “Father, brother, don’t worry, I… and my master, we will definitely be able to keep our home!”
Li looked at her young son, and said with tears: “Zhao’er is really grown up!” She looked at Ping Yuanhou, smiled and said, “Look at our children, all of them are good.”
Hou Pingyuan nodded to Li: “Madam Quanzhe teaches you.”
Li looked at Ping Yuanhou with tears: “It’s all due to Lord Hou…”
Zhang Yunming pulled Zhang Yunzhao, and the two bowed out of the room. Zhang Yunming came out and said to Zhang Yunzhao, “Take me to see your master.”
Zhang Yunzhao took Zhang Yunming to the courtyard where Zhang Yunzheng lived to meet Gu Gonggong. Zhang Yunming was a little dazed-this was the place he used to visit Zhang Yunzheng. Now Zhang Yunzheng is in the most dangerous place, making him feel unsure, wishing to go there right away. go with.
He met Father Gu, and after meeting each other, he said, “Did Miss Shen go to the courtyard to contact you?” When he first met Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen, he talked about the attack on his father, and the courtyard taught the fourth son of Shen. Wait, he doesn’t need to think about knowing that Father Gu is definitely responsible for the connection between the two houses, and the place where the two people meet should be the courtyard.
Grandpa Gu nodded and said, “Tonight is the day to meet. If you are a good man, you can go together.”
Zhang Yunming said angrily: “That’s the yard I bought! How many times have I been to it!”
Grandpa Gu said coldly: “Now there are secret whistles outside the mansion. Grandpa has to run fast.”
“Oh.” Zhang Yunming was a little discouraged, he did not run as fast as Zhang Yunzheng. Grandpa Gu said: “It’s really impossible, you can leave the house in advance.”
Zhang Yunming nodded. That night, Ping Yuanhou met his eldest son at Li’s Huanyinge, and everyone drank with open arms. In the end, Ping Yuanhou and Mr. Zhang were all drunk, beaten up, and got into the car.
Zhang Yunming, dressed as a buddy, stayed behind, and a buddy who wore his clothes went back home with Ping Yuanhou.
After midnight, Zhang Yunming went to the courtyard. Shen Wen was already in the house, Zhang Yunming pushed the door in, and saw Shen Wen who was slender. It has a gentle beauty. But he will never be fooled! The softness of the fifth princess is like water from the heart, but this woman is full of cunning from the deepest! The superficial affinity is all disguise! Now he feels that his stupid brother has called out the true identity of this woman from the beginning: little liar! It’s just that she has grown up now and has become a real liar!
Zhang Yunming reluctantly gave a salute, and Shen Wen returned it indifferently. Zhang Yunming also saluted Gu Gonggong, who was sitting on the side. This is the younger brother’s master, so he can’t disrespect him. Gu Gonggong nodded, knowing they were going to talk, and walked outside the door. .
There was no one else in the room, and Zhang Yunming immediately asked: “Is there any danger on my brother’s side?”
Shen Wen has been getting recent reports on the war from Du Juan, and asked in a puzzled manner: “Didn’t you also see the news? He is not in danger now. Bei Rong should be at least half a month away from him.”
Zhang Yunming was angry: “I’m asking you when Bei Rong arrives”
Shen Wen said hesitantly: “It stands to reason that there should be no danger, unless…”
Zhang Yunming asked: “Unless something…”
Shen Wen waved his hand: “It’s useless to tell you!”
Zhang Yunming wanted to be angry, but seeing Shen Wen’s calm expression suddenly didn’t dare to speak to a child like she did in the past. A decisive battle planned by this woman was unfolding, and the grandeur that started in Pingmo was only his kind. Only those who participated in the early stage can understand the ins and outs. Thinking of the chubby little girl many years ago, Zhang Yunming only felt heartbroken, and once again worried about his brother.
He coughed slightly, and asked, “Is the current progress as you planned and is it the same as what you saw in your dream?”
Shen Wen said: “It was earlier than I saw in my dream, but this is exactly what I hope. You go out of Beijing to meet the enemy. If your brother succeeds in ambushing, you will definitely win. At that time, you must blockade like the north. News, only to report defeat, not to report victory.”
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: “I understand that for gamblers, you are not afraid of losing but you are afraid of winning. It’s just…” He also wanted to ask what to do if Zhang Yunzheng was unsuccessful, but it was too unlucky to say that and there was no way out.
Shen Wen asked: “How many arrows do you have?”
Zhang Yunming said: “Twenty thousand, two million arrows, one hundred crossbows, each with five hundred arrows…”
Shen Wen thought about it and said, “No matter what, it’s enough. How is morale?”
Zhang Yunming said: “It’s very high. When we came along, students from the south of the Yangtze River clamored along the way, merchants sent money and food, and many people joined the army. I only accepted the young and strong, lest there are too many people and it is difficult to manage.”
Shen Wen said: “The Three Princes created a lot of momentum, and there are more than 50 articles about the powerful soldiers resisting the enemy signed by passers-by.”
Zhang Yunming said: “Let’s go over there. More people should join in. Most of the people I brought out of the mountain were crossbowmen, and the newcomers would be formed into pawns.”
Shen Wen arrived at the table and grinded and said: “I’ll draw you a few ways to arrange crossbowmen against cavalry…” She sketched out the deployment plans of several battles in later generations and handed them to Zhang Yunming.
Zhang Yunming took the picture, and felt another chill after looking at it. This woman can’t stand it all because of her murderous plan at her fingertips. He was about to leave, but he still couldn’t let go of Zhang Yunzheng, and said to Shen Wen: “Don’t forget the oath you swore…”
Shen Wen nodded and said: “I haven’t forgotten, if your brother has lost, I will never apologize!”
Zhang Yunming let out a sigh of relief and said dullly, “Then I’m leaving.”
Shen Wen said: “On your way, it is better to have someone they trust to come to the capital to send news of failure.”
Zhang Yunming said: “I will tell my father. The communication in the north is really broken.”
Shen Wen nodded and said: “Most of the post stations have been withdrawn, and there are not a few postmen left. Except for sending letters to the north, there is no route of delivery. Your father unplugged the prince’s place along the road in Yancheng. Letter cards, if you want to be insured, you can ask someone to set up some cards at a few intersections to prevent Beirong, but just check the correspondence.”
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: “It’s easy. We have a lot of people now. We can set up checkpoints as volunteers on the roads from the north to the capital.”
Having said all that should be said, Shen Wen said to Zhang Yunming: “Go and take care.” At the end of the day, no matter how much tactics, there will be someone hitting the ground with knife and gun. Shen Wen sincerely hopes Pingyuan Hou Zhang Yunming, his brothers and sisters, and the three princes, all returned safely this time.
Zhang Yunming returned to the house and told Ping Yuanhou what he had to do. Ping Yuanhou muttered, “Let their people tell us the news of our failure… It’s a bit difficult.”
Zhang Yunming whispered: “It’s not difficult, according to that…the Royal Forest Army wants to chase us…”
The father and son whispered a few words, Ping Yuan Hou laughed, and patted Zhang Yunming on the shoulder: “You kid! What a son of Lao Tzu!”
Zhang Yunming sighed: “The second brother is short-sighted!”
Ping Yuan Hou was also worried: “Let’s set off as soon as possible!”
As soon as the news came out that Pingyuan Hou led the soldiers and the three princes supervised the army, in addition to the loyal praise of the Shen family circulated throughout the capital, there was more beautification of Pingyuan Hou and the three princes. Some goulan also talked about Ping Yuanhou’s brave deeds when he was young, boasting that he was like a **** in the sky entering the world. Let alone the three princes, starting from the beginning, how he has been both civil and military since childhood, caring for the people, although as a prince, he has never worried about food and clothing, but he even suggested storing food and preparing food and saving many lives. He also said how he predicted the war, and kept his heart in mind. At present, Bei Rong is using his own actions to protect his family and the country. He is really the first son in the middle of the country, and the rebirth of the ancient Xinling monarch, a high-level figure who combines knowledge and bravery. Many children from aristocratic families came to seek refuge and wanted to join him on the expedition. Many women flocked to his house, leaving behind countless pouch handkerchiefs…
The third prince anxiously said to Young Master Ye in the hall: “Go and tell those people not to say that I can’t do it, I’m almost ashamed to die, and I dare not leave the door.”
Young Master Ye said in his heart that we have been preparing for such a long time, why don’t we show that those scripts and lyrics can be written in vain. How can we not have to buy real money and silver, just to shape your image, but we can’t tell you that. The third prince smiled and said, “That’s good, now many businesses are competing to provide food and grass to the volunteers, and many officials have also donated silver taels. You don’t know that the donation box in front of our house is full several times.”
The third prince was happy: “That’s it! Well, let them talk about it, and just donate me.”
Master Ye chuckled. He is full of hope: Although it is rumored that the father and son of Beihou in Bianzhen have been killed and the Shen family army is about to be lost, the people of the capital are actively participating in the volunteers. Shenzhuo, the Zhenbeihou in the three princes camp, has gathered the guards of the mansion and the people of the village. , Will go out of town with Pingyuanhou. In the other courts, there were also many people who led servants to join the army, and even Ye Zhongshu’s Young Master Ye brought a dozen strong men with him. There are already fifty thousand volunteers in the city, and I heard that the outside of the city is also very exciting. Maybe there will be a hundred thousand people in the end, maybe it can really contend with Beirong.
The emperor did not think the same way as Ye Da Young Master. He heard the news that the number of volunteers in the capital was growing rapidly and the supply of military supplies was complete. He was very angry. He said to Grand Master Sun, “Look at this, he has kept his men. By your side! This is where you want to face me at any time!”
Grandpa Sun said hurriedly: “The slave and maid had heard that Riping Yuanhou was about to leave the city. It seems that he didn’t want to stay in the capital.” This meant that he didn’t mean to rebel.
The emperor still said angrily: “I knew this person was unreliable a long time ago!”
Sun Gonggong Nuonuo nodded, and the emperor said, “Send people to follow their volunteers and keep an eye on the movement.”
Before leaving, the third prince rode to Qixingguan outside the city to say goodbye to the fifth princess. The news on the fifth princess side was blocked, and I just heard that the Zhenbei Hou Shen Jiajun might be over, and the third prince came to say goodbye.
When the fifth princess heard that the third prince was about to supervise the army against the enemy, she immediately began to cry and said to the third prince: “Brother…you…”
The third prince was very happy to be on the battlefield. He was a little dissatisfied with the tears of the fifth princess, but he comforted the fifth princess and said, “Sister, don’t worry. The son also goes, we are a lot of people.”
The fifth princess choked again. She whispered: “Brother wait for me for a while.” Turning and walking back to the inner room, she reached out her hand to pull the hosta from her head, let her hair fall, took out the scissors from the drawer, and cut a strand of hair. , Took a handkerchief and wrapped it up, pulled his hair back, and walked out, handed the handkerchief bag to the third prince, and said: “You give this to him, and I will live and die with him in this life!”
The third prince knew that the fifth princess had been squandered because of the house where the fifth princess came out, so naturally they would pass this letter to her. He was not a worried person, he only said a few more words to take care, and bid farewell to the fifth princess. He now wholeheartedly thinks of fighting on the battlefield, so that he can live up to the martial arts he has practiced for so many years. If he died on the battlefield, he would have died well enough and lost his protection. Bei Rong came, and if his sister committed suicide, she would be completely chaste. If he didn’t die, and after winning, he pleaded with his father for his younger sister, thinking that he had resisted Bei Rong, maybe the father should let the younger sister return to the vulgarity.
In the Library of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Shen Wen whispered to Shen Zhuo: “Remember, you won’t be able to deliver good news if you win…”
Shen Zhuo shook his hand: “I see! This is the hundred and second time, right”
Shen Wen sighed: “This is a very important part.”
Shen Zhuo nodded: “Understood.”
Shen Wen also said: “Don’t let your sister be alone. In my dream, she was surrounded by Chunlu and died of suicide.”
Shen Zhuo’s face was serious: “I understand, I will never let her leave my side.”
Shen Wen sighed: “In my dream, Chunlu was already married and came back, but this time she was not married in order to be with her sister. I heard that the sister-in-law wrote a letter to bring her together with Qi Conglin, who is next to her brother. No one is okay.”
Shen Zhuo said in a big way: “There will definitely be nothing wrong. Let them get married after the war!”
Shen Wen frowned at Shen Zhuo, and asked: “Don’t just take care of other people’s family affairs. You didn’t say goodbye to Zhang’s sister.”
Shen Zhuo said: “No, I am gone, my heart is always here…”
Shen Wen curled his lips: “Brother three! You know that your mouth is slick, so why should you be a little bit of action?”
Shen Zhuo ruined his shoulders: “Her parents are at home, how can I go, let alone the emperor staring at it? Girls don’t all like this kind of thing, you just pass it on for me.”
Shen Wen sighed, but after breaking up with Shen Zhuo, he really wrote a short sign, and with the help of Su Wanniang, he hurriedly said: “He will leave, saying that my heart is still here, so I will not say goodbye, and hope that you will forgive me. “People handed it over to Pingyuan Houfu. Li opened it, laughed pouting, and cursed: “Youzui kid!” But he was still asked to give it to Zhang Yunjin. After reading it several times, Zhang Yunjin blushed and hurriedly made a pair of shoulder pads to wear under the armor, embroidered a few leaves, and gave it to Li. Li sighed, called the eldest son, and handed him a small packet: “This is for Son Shen.”
Zhang Yunming heard about the fact that his sister and Shen San Gongzi could not negotiate a marriage, and knew that it was Shen Wen who said that the emperor wanted to choose his concubine, so that his mother appointed Shen San Gongzi. This is certain, and it cannot be changed easily. Plus my sister likes it, it has been delayed for so many years. He once again accused Shen Wen as his nemesis, and his younger brothers and sisters were fooled!
But now the two governments are marching together, fortune and misfortune go together. Forget it, just make the kid happy, and after looking for a day, he reluctantly gave the package to Shen Zhuo.
In the morning when the volunteers left the city, in the lobby of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang said goodbye to the Yang family and the old lady. Shen Qiang screamed straight, blushing, and his neck thick, the old lady pulled his sleeves to prevent him from breaking free.
Yang did not cry this time. During the interval of Shen Qiang’s cry, he looked at Shen Xiang with pleading: “Xiang’er, can you not go?”
Shen Xiang said firmly: “No!” Shen Wen asked Shen Zhuo to leave the city and then hinted that Shen Xiang’s father and brother were not dead, so Shen Xiang has been agitated in the mansion.
Shen Qiang called again, and Shen Zhuo shook his head at him: “Fourth brother, no, you are too heavy, there is no horse you can ride…”
Shen Qiang was extremely strong, and he was completely black. He heard Shen Zhuo say this and called out to open his arms, expressing that he wanted Shen Zhuo to carry him. Shen Zhuo laughed: “You think so beautifully! I won’t be backing you!” After so many days, he finally said this sentence, feeling happy.
Shen Qiang yelled and jumped, and Yang broke down and shouted to Shen Qiang hoarsely: “Shut up! You don’t want to go! If you dare to go with them, I will die in front of this door!”
Seeing his mother’s madness, Shen Qiang was lingering, and stopped speaking, pouting to rely on the old lady. The old lady patted Shen Qiang on the back and said weakly to Yang, “Don’t scare the children.”
Yang’s hands trembled and his face turned black. How can such a fat black kid be scared! The old lady is still working against herself!
Ever since she heard that Zhenbeihou and his son had died in battle, she hadn’t slept for many nights. She felt hot all over, her heart beating like drums, and then she was covered in sweat. When she first heard the news, she really cried enough! Now I only feel deep pain and despair. If Hou Ye and her two sons are really dead, after she has kept the blood of the Shen family, she will die, so she won’t have to suffer these tortures again!
Shen Wen was afraid that the old lady would be overwhelmed by sadness, and told her privately that they were not dead in Zhenbeihou, but don’t show it, so the old lady just kept her face and tried not to say anything, like an old man crushed by bad news.
To Liu, she did not dare to be too clear, and only vaguely said that her news was different. Therefore, Liu’s was just frightened, and his face was haggard, not so bad. Su Wanniang was also nervous, not for their future future, but because Shen Wen said that as soon as the volunteers left the city, Shen Wen would definitely have to deal with the prince, and eventually leave the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion had to be controlled by himself. There was a burst of weakness in my heart, and my brows were naturally frowned.
Shen Wen was crying while holding the silk, Shen Zhuo felt that she was pretending, but Shen Wen was really sad. She was not here in the previous life, and she didn’t know the scene at home at all. Now she can’t help but think of the original sadness. The old lady lost her son and grandson, the Yang family lost her husband and son, and watched another son and daughter go on the expedition… What a heavy pain! She walked to Yang’s side, took Yang’s arm and said, “Mother, I’m here with you…” She always accompanies Yang these days, massaging the acupoints for soothing the liver and smoothing Qi with her consciousness, but it can’t help much. busy. Yang’s temperament is straightforward. If you tell her that Yang’s is not sad, it will make the eyeliners in the mansion suspicious… But seeing his mother like this, Shen Wen is really very guilty and had to cry with her.
Shen Zhuo said to Yang, “Mother, don’t you…” He originally wanted to say “Worry about us”, but he was afraid of showing confidence, so he changed his words: “So sad. This is when my Shen family is serving the country, and we are duty-bound. “
Shen Xiang said: “Mother, I have been practicing martial arts since I was five years old. It has been fifteen years since I was twenty this year! Mother, this is what I think, I must go to the battlefield, and I have no regrets when I die there! “Shen Wen burst into tears, rushed over and hugged Shen Xiang’s arm and said: “Sister! Don’t say this, you must come back…accompany me!”
Shen Xiang used to have no good breath for this “useless” sister, now she is going to war, and suddenly felt that this sister is well-behaved, soft, and very cute. He took Shen Wen’s hand and said, “Sister, I used to scold you. Don’t be angry. We are all grown up, and you look so good. Forget all the things I said you are a pig.”
Shen Wen cried and said, “Sister, I have never been angry. I love my sister and have always admired my sister…” She couldn’t cry.
Shen Xiang held back his tears, and said boldly, “Sister, just wait for my good news!”
Shen Wen cried and pulled Shen Xiang’s hand tightly and said: “Sister, you…you…”
Shen Xiang nodded and said, “Don’t worry! I will definitely come back! Be with you…”
Shen Wen choked: “…pig…can’t the pig work?”
Shen Xiang smiled: “How come my sister is really beautiful, I like your look.” She pinched Shen Wen’s face, and she slipped her hand on Shen Wen’s tears, and Shen Xiang couldn’t help but shake it off. Finger said: “You really are, so many tears!”
Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang saluted again, and the two walked out of the hall. The Yang family looked at their backs stupidly, Shen Wen was frightened, and went to beat Yang family on the back, crying and said: “Mother! Don’t be like this, I’m scared…”
The old lady hated Yang for the thousandth time and couldn’t keep her breath, but she also felt pity, and said: “You…go and rest.” She didn’t dare to say more, but sighed deeply and said to Shen. Qiang said: “You accompany grandma to the back.” Shen Qiang supported the old lady with a depressed expression, while Shen Wen and Liu clan helped Yang clan to the dormitory.
Young Master Ye said farewell to Ye Zhongshu, “Father, after I leave, you can all go to Zhuangzi outside the city. If you have any problems, it is convenient to go south from there.” Now the chaos in the capital city has been cleaned up. Jiashi went to the south.
On Ye Zhongshu’s book case, there were a dozen letters spread out, all of which were brought by his friend and protégé.
His brows frowned, and he went to the door and window to look out, then walked to Young Master Ye, and whispered: “Now Shijingshang is defeated in the north, and the memorial of Beihoulai in the imperial court seems to be the same. This means. According to Bei Rong’s army, there is really no reason to be invincible…”
Grand Young Master Ye sighed painfully: “Bei Rong has more than 500,000 soldiers. It is not an enemy of Zhenbei Hou. What’s more, he has reduced military supplies over the past few years. He has only about 150,000 or 60,000 soldiers. How can he be undefeated!”
Ye Zhongshu groaned, “Nevertheless, I feel that there is very little news about the war…some…unreasonable…”
Grandpa Ye was puzzled: “Why don’t I stay with the third prince, every day I see memorials sent from the northwest, they all say that Bei Rong is all the way to the downhill county…”
Ye Zhongshu nodded: “Yes, the defense all the way to the northwest is weak. Of course Bei Rong comes over. However, few people in the north have seen Bei Rong go south, saying that Bei Rong is still near Yancheng.”
Grand Young Master Ye also nodded: “Yes, that’s because several post lines coming from the north have been withdrawn, and the communication between the capital and the north is difficult! Moreover, there are also some people who say that Bei Rong has not moved south from Yancheng, indicating that even Zhenbeihou and his son are dead, but Shen Jiajun has not yet surrendered and is still fighting Beirong! Yancheng is under siege and cannot send out letters!”
Ye Zhongshu gave a hum, and Young Master Ye hurriedly asked: “Does my father have any doubts?”
Ye Zhongshu twisted his beard: “I just think that if Yancheng is besieged and Shen Jiajun is unable to break through, then where is Beirong on the northeast road?”
Young Master Ye was in a cold sweat and said to Ye Zhongshu: “Father! If that road Beirong bypassed Yancheng, it would go straight down from the east, and soon we will reach the capital! We went out to resist the north from the northwest. Rong, who is going to stop Dad on the East Road, the capital is about to fall…”
Ye Zhongshu shook his hand: “Don’t worry, don’t worry…” He frowned, Young Master Ye almost said that he would not go to the expedition, but how could he regret what he said to the third prince, as if he was about to cry? Zhongshu said: “Father! Go south now! Many people in the city have left, and I will have someone organize your things right away…”
Ye Zhongshu sighed: “My library has been around for several generations, and the printed books are the books in the collection…”
Young Master Ye was anxious: “Father! Things outside of you, don’t miss you! You take your family and leave immediately!”
Ye Zhongshu patted Ye Da Young Master on the shoulder and said, “My family is a scholar of generations. It is not easy to have someone in the army in your generation. You have learned martial arts when you were young, which is more or less helpful. But on the battlefield, don’t Be brave…”
Hearing that his father had changed the subject unexpectedly, Young Master Ye said nervously: “Father, you haven’t promised me, let’s go in these two days!”
Ye Zhongshu smiled: “I will let those children go, I am too lazy to go.”
Young Master Ye’s eyes were moist, and he knelt down to Ye Zhongshu at once: “Father, I’m not filial, but please go!”
Ye Zhongshu became serious and shook his head: “I can’t go at this time. Once I go, who is waiting to meet you in triumph. If the road Beirong is here, there are reasons to go again, but if they don’t come, I will run away, people It’s unreasonable to say that I, as your father, don’t believe that you have a day of victory!”
Master Ye stammered, “But, but when they come, it’s too late…”
Ye Zhongshu said: “Our home is not far from Mingjing Lake. There are beams in the house. Sitting in the book, I can still raise fire. What’s too late”
Young Master Ye shed tears: “Father! I beg you to go!”
Ye Zhongshu helped Ye Da Gongzi up and said, “I am very satisfied that you can be so prosperous. You are also so old. Many things need to be seen clearly. Life is just a walk in the world. No matter when, I have to pay attention to some manners and attitudes. I am so old and can’t get out of the embarrassment of running away from the wind, so let me do what I want.”
Young Master Ye cried out sadly: “Father…”
Ye Zhongshu raised his hand to stop him, and said, “Besides…” He was thoughtful.
Da Young Master Ye pulled Ye Zhongshu’s sleeve and asked, “Father, besides what?”
Ye Zhongshu hesitated and said, “I think…this northeast all the way to Beirong…maybe more than half of it has been wiped out…”
Young Master Ye lost his voice: “How is it possible!”
Ye Zhongshu also shook his head: “I don’t think it’s possible. But there are hundreds of thousands in Beirong on this road, and it is impossible to be completely concealed. However, I sent my family away with old age and brought me letters, all of which said that the north was here. Wounded soldiers and students asked people to quickly build volunteers to resist, but none of them mentioned the whereabouts of the Northern Rong army in the northeast…”
Young Master Ye blinked vigorously, and Ye Zhongshu whispered: “I always feel that the current situation is secretive. You must never tell my guess to others. I say this so that you don’t have to worry about me, but you are careful. Pingyuan Hou is old and has not been involved in government affairs for more than 20 years, but you also know that the number of volunteers in the capital is more than 10,000 in a day, and now more than 50,000. Mrs. Pingyuan Hou uses her business to fund military supplies without any haste, no matter how you look at it. You have already prepared. Others have also funded them, so that you can set off quickly.”
Da Young Master Ye said, “We prepared the lyrics and people a long time ago. Were they just to incite the people, support the Shen Jiajun, and join the volunteers? It seems like…” He stopped. Those were prepared for the citizens, but Ping Yuan Hou and his wife Must have moved long ago.
Ye Zhongshu nodded slowly and said, “You also think they are prepared.”
Young Master Ye frowned: “This matter was ordered by Third Young Master Shen.”
Ye Zhongshu looked at his son inductively: “Also, the Shen Jiajun seems to be completely defeated in the north now, why should everyone sing about the bravery and loyalty of the Shen family, a family of heroes of generations”
Master Ye thought: “Why…”
Ye Zhongshu didn’t want Young Master Ye to worry too much, and waved his hand: “You can leave without worry, I will sit here for you.”
Young Master Ye couldn’t persuade his father, so he had to worship and bid farewell again.
The west gate of the capital was crowded in a mess, and the volunteers recruited by each family went out of the city together with the father and son Pingyuanhou. The three princes, dressed in light armor, looked excitedly at the various flags all over the street, and said to Shen Zhuo and Zhang Yunming beside him: “I finally waited for this day!”
Master Ye said: “You have a passion for the country and the people, and you deserve people’s appreciation!”
The three princes laughed: “I am not trying to win admiration! A man who is born in the world should fight on the battlefield!”
Young Master Ye said hurriedly: “Stay steady! You are only a supervising army, Ping Yuanhou is the main general, and Young Master Zhang is a pioneer. You stay in the military tent…”
The third prince waved his hand: “What! You can be in the military tent!” Kicking the horse happily, leading the people forward.
Zhang Yunming and Shen Zhuo were very calm. They knew the background of this incident. Shen Zhuo tried hard not to show his grief and anger, and his expression was very serious, while Zhang Yunming had a cold smile on his lips. They rode side by side, and Shen Zhuo asked in a low voice provocatively, “Are you scared?”
Zhang Yunming looked at Shen Zhuo contemptuously and said, “I’m afraid! I’m afraid you will cry out then!”
Shen Zhuo cut his voice: “Are you daydreaming?”…The two people quarreled quietly all the way, following the third prince from a distance.
The crowds from different families have been flocking tens of thousands of volunteers out of the west gate of the capital. It is really crowded. They watched the flag-flag team walking away from outside the city gate. Many people have tears in their eyes, but not many people cry out for fear.
Perhaps it was the brotherhood with the third prince. Standing on the tower, the prince also sighed with emotion: “…Finally waited for this day!” He watched the crowds go away, feeling that his heart was about to fly. It is February, and spring is coming, and everything is gestating vitality. The prince felt that he had already stepped on the pedals under the emperor’s seat, and as soon as he stepped in, he could sit on the dragon seat. But at the same time, the blood book of the four princesses in his chest burned his heart like a charcoal fire. He didn’t dare to touch it, but he couldn’t avoid it. He could only relieve it with killing.
The prince went back to the East Palace and asked someone to pass a message to Zheng Qian: “That second Miss Shen, **** it!”
