Guerrilla General's Mansion, guest courtyard.
The broken lamp is like a bean.
Ren Ning sat at the table, looked at the intact paint, and opened the envelope.
The handwriting is elegant and beautiful, and I wrote more than ten pages with hope.
The first half is full of love words between husband and wife.
Ren Ning looked at it with a slight smile on his lips.
He has been serving in the army for two lifetimes, which can be said to be a wandering life. It is a happy thing to have someone caring and thinking about you in the vast sea of people.
He looked down.
The second half of the letter was somewhat beyond Ren Ning's expectations.
"Ms. Gong, when I went to visit the eldest princess Yiguang at Zhenguo's mansion, she mentioned something inadvertently."
"The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and the surrounding neighboring countries have sent large teams to Beijing to celebrate her birthday. The five southern countries headed by Nanfeng are no exception."
"Your Majesty is a filial son. Seeing the favor given by the southern countries, he was so happy that he seemed to have signed a non-aggression treaty."
"The eldest princess said that there will probably be no more trouble in the south in the near future."
Ren Ning was stunned.
No wonder Zhongyong Bo's Mansion or Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion did not hesitate to spend money and send people south. They probably knew that there would be no fighting here for the time being, so it was better to get rich first.
He continued to read.
"The eldest princess also mentioned another thing."
"The epidemic in Yunzhong County has not completely dissipated, and is even spreading to surrounding counties. Secret reports stated that small-scale epidemics have occurred in several nearby counties. However, the birthday of the Queen Mother is approaching, so His Majesty suppressed it."
Ren Ning was startled and looked up at the sky through the window.
Guangxin County is not too far from the three southwest counties, separated by several mountains.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb over the mountain directly.
But there are always exceptions.
Such as migratory birds.
He had seen such an example in his previous life. African swine fever broke out in Southeast Asia. Migratory birds migrated from south to north, and half of the country was infected.
For this reason, the country has established a migratory bird monitoring system to monitor the movements of the birds at any time, but there are still fish that slip through the net, which is difficult to prevent.
But this era does not have this condition at all.
In addition, a few months ago it happened to be the time when a large number of migratory birds came south for the winter. At that time, the epidemic in Yunzhong County was at its peak. Who knows whether the migratory birds brought the epidemic to Guangxin County.
Thinking of this, Ren Ning couldn't sit still.
But no matter how hard he sat still, he could only stare at the unfounded and unfounded information in the middle of the night, so he had no choice but to continue reading the letter.
"After the New Year, my eldest brother has almost completed his studies and is ready to go back to Xiliang."
The current situation of the Kailun tribe is very bad.
Not long after Yingpan's father passed away, internal strife broke out in the tribe.
Kailun had a big quarrel whether to continue to get close to Yun Chui, who was close at hand, or to fall to the royal court deep in the grassland.
The three patriarchs headed by Allen insisted on getting close to Yunchui.
The other two clan leaders, the second clan leader, turned to the royal court; the big clan leader had a vague attitude and was more inclined to devour the Benlu tribe as soon as possible. We will talk about the rest later.
As a result, in less than a year, the leaderless Benlu tribe not only did not disperse, but Kailun lost nearly half of its population.
Youmeng and his Lanmang tribe of less than a hundred people saw that something was wrong, so they simply moved north, far away from this land of right and wrong.
"Brother Alen wrote a letter, saying that Benlu is coming here every day to harass the remaining Kailun people. Tell him to go back and take charge of the overall situation, otherwise there will be no Kailun tribe on the grassland."
"Nine times out of ten, it was the Prairie Royal Court who took action." Yingpan wrote.
Needless to say?
Who else besides the Grassland Royal Court would help Running Deer!
Ren Ning shook his head, turned the letter paper back, and found that it was already the last page.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Seeing these words, Ren Ning seemed to see Yingpan sticking out her tongue playfully.
"I heard that the Grand Master's wife and the eldest princess Yiguang were close friends when they were young. Maybe this is why I, a country girl, can go in and out of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion and visit the eldest princess Yiguang. Hehe, Mrs. Yongchang Hou is going to the town The Duke's Mansion posted several messages, but the eldest princess ignored her at all."
Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what the reason is, with the Duke of Zhenguo and the eldest princess Yiguang here, nothing should happen to the family.
The next day, Ren Ning read the contract signed by all parties and readily wrote out the methods and precautions for making the cooked rubber in detail.
After instructing Xiao Yongrui, the people from Zhenguo Palace and the Guerrilla General's Palace to clumsily make the first piece of ripe rubber, he took Lei Er Xiao Gang back to Yingshan Camp.
Several carriages left with them.
The carriage carried more than a thousand sets of rubber shoes and raincoats made in the past two months.
It rains a lot in Guangxin, and the soldiers have to go out for training every day, so their shoes and clothes are never dry. Already, dozens of people's feet or backs were rotten, and military doctors could not cure them no matter how hard they tried.
After returning home, Ren Ning divided the rubber shoes and raincoats between them, and moved to the forward's main account.
Bah, bah, bah.
A pleasant erhu sound came from the house.
Ever since he transferred to the Xingluo Legion and became Guan Luping's personal guard, Ren Ning had seen the Xingluo forward general, who was so frightening to his enemies, playing the erhu several times in his spare time.
Ren Ning waited silently outside the door, pretending to be listening to the music.
The level of erhu with flat pipes is still very good.
The guards around the main tent all knew him, and after a few strange glances at the raincoat and shoes in Ren Ning's hands, they ignored him.
After a while, the erhu sound stopped.
The owner inside might not be happy at all, and would hold hands while babbling from time to time. However, the music cannot be made into a tune, and the tune cannot be made into a tune.
"General!" Ren Ning shouted.
"Ren Ning? Come in!" Guan Luping reluctantly put down the erhu in his hand.
He learned to play the erhu from his father-in-law before, but he is the leader of the army and has no time to learn new songs, so he can only play two simple songs so far.
He was always very unhappy after every session, but it was a pity and there was nothing he could do about it.
Although there are many of his subordinates, only a few of them can read, let alone play the erhu. There is nowhere to learn even if you want to.
"If you're not going to play on vacation, why would you bring some clothes and shoes?" Guan Luping frowned.
Ren Ning put down the things in his hands, but he didn't answer the question.
"I just heard the general playing music outside the door. It was so euphemistic and sweet that I cried and cried. Ren Ning felt itchy for a while and wanted to borrow the general's erhu to play."
Guan Luping perked up and asked, "Can you also play the erhu?"
After saying this, he reacted, "That's right. You are from the Grand Master's Palace. Even if you are not good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, you are somewhat good at it."
He quickly handed over the erhu and even took the initiative to move a stool for Ren Ning.
"Hurry up and listen to the music. Let alone silk and bamboo, there are not even birds chirping around here. It smells bad when it's a holiday."
Ren Ning nodded, "The general is from Sulan County, right?"
"Yes!" Guan Luping nodded, "It's just that I haven't been back for a long time."
He is indeed from Sulan County, and he was Wu Zhuangyuan when he was about the same age as Ren Ning. Later, he became Xingluo's son-in-law and joined the Xingluo Legion.
Ren Ning nodded, "Sulan is a famous and prosperous place. I'll make it rain in Jiangnan."
