In the dining hall in the small courtyard next to it, the servants lowered their heads and waited quietly for instructions. This was not the first time that Yu Lan and Ge Yin had dined with Ging Guo, and they could easily toast Ging Guo at this time.
Bai Guo smiled and drank with the two of them. An Chuang beside him was a little at a loss, but he calmed down after looking at Pang Yang who looked calm.
But after seeing Ge Yin, he became a little nervous again. He held the wine glass and mustered up the courage to speak to Ge Yin. When he was about to speak, he saw that Ge Yin had put down the wine glass and had no intention of pouring wine.
An Chuang glanced at the fullness of his cup, held back a breath and poured it in. He was shocked by the dense taste after entering his mouth.
Is this wine?
An Chuang looked even more confused when he saw Ge Yin's very resistant look.
Pang Yang also paused for a moment to react after the entrance, but he accepted it faster.
It's just that I feel... cramped tonight.
Yulan became more and more silent towards the end of the meal. She seemed a little unable to fit in?
Can……
Yu Lan looked around. The princess and Ge Yin were both very normal. Next to them... General Chi Zhong and An Chuang seemed a bit restrained, but no matter how they looked at them, they didn't do anything rude. Then why did she have such a self-consciousness? Superfluous illusion?
After her eyes touched Bai Mingxia beside her, Yulan felt that she had thought too much.
"Cousin, I want another drink." Bai Mingxia has lost a lot of weight and grown a lot taller. One look at her and she can tell that she is a wealthy daughter who has worked hard to raise her.
The maid standing guard next to her poured another glass for Bai Mingxia when she saw Bai Guo nodding, and Bai Mingxia drank it bit by bit.
She was sure it was the last drink.
Bai Guo didn't say anything when he saw Bai Mingxia's movements, and quietly used his food.
After dinner, the servants took away the things and served fruits and snacks to keep the New Year's Eve warm.
Bai Mingxia sat far away from Ging Guo this time, hiding behind Yu Lan and Ge Yin, and then quietly plucked the snacks on the table to eat.
Bai Guo glanced at it and ignored it, and started to read the book in his hand.
When Ge Yin saw that Bai Guo didn't care, he pretended that he didn't see it either.
Pang Yang and An Chuang sat quietly on the other side, with different thoughts.
In this atmosphere, Yulan couldn't help but murmured: "I don't know what's going on with Madam."
Normally she might not be so sentimental, but now she really feels missed.
Bai Guo couldn't help but raise his head and look outside. There were stars, but he didn't know who was looking at whom.
"I'll go back to Kyoto after the Shuangzhou matter is settled."
A large amount of grain from Jinlin Prefecture has arrived in Sha Kingdom, and Shangshuang Prefecture, which is closest to Sha Kingdom, must have also been harvested.
Although it is true that a large amount of food is needed in winter, compared to Han Shangguo who trades grain with Chengzhou State, Shaguo is like a robber who likes to grab food from Chengzhou State. This abnormality made Gingguo want to go and confirm. reason.
Yu Lan knew what Bai Guo was thinking by looking at her expression.
Saudi Arabia has less land and less planting, so it is relatively poor and has few resources. However, the other side of Saudi Arabia has a coast and a stronger navy, so there is no need to worry about being flanked during a war.
In this case, Saudi Arabia is very likely to provoke a war at any time, so we should pay more attention to this unusual situation.
Bai Mingxia didn't hold on and fell asleep while eating. Yulan carried her back to the back room to sleep.
After seeing Yu Lan leave, Ge Yin glanced at the people around him, stood up and saluted Bai Guo and said, "My slave, go get a book."
Ginkgo nodded.
An Chuang didn't quite understand that Ge Yin needed to go to get the book, but when Ge Yin's figure disappeared and Nuo Da's room was left, leaving him, Pang Yang and Bai Guo alone, he understood instantly. He almost staggered up and stood up in Ging Guo's house. He stuttered under his doubtful gaze, "Subordinate... I'm looking for you at the caravan."
Bai Guo nodded when he heard this, and An Chuang left in a hurry.
Ging Guo didn't notice that Pang Yang next to him sat up straighter, and even his arms became obviously tense.
Only the two of them were left in the dining room and could hear the drop of a needle. The maidservant outside lowered her head again.
Bai Guo flipped through the book in his hand to the last page, and then closed the book gently. Pang Yang's whole body tensed up following Bai Guo's movement.
"The details of the geology of the Sand Kingdom have been marked." Bai Guo put the book on the small table and pushed it in the direction of Pang Yang. The clever little maid stepped forward and handed the book to Pang Yang.
Pang Yang visibly stiffened for a moment, then calmly relaxed a little, and then took the book from the maid's hand.
Opening it, there are writings on almost every page inside. There is an edge that cannot be hidden in these writings.
The sharp edge is aimed at the Sha Kingdom. His third lady has known about the Sha Kingdom a long time ago.
Pang Yang looked at the heavy book in his hand and said nothing.
It will take at least three days to read this book, and about five days to make these annotations. In addition, I have been asking for news recently, and I had to travel for a long time before...
There was obviously a heating brazier inside the house, but at this time all Pang Yang could feel was the severe cold outside.
Before this moment, he had always thought that the relationship between them was close... But now the existence of this book and the unobtrusive writing in the center of the book made Pang Yang understand what it means to be sentimental.
His third lady has never been tempted.
It was him who had crossed the line.
Pang Yang lowered his red eyelids.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded. An Chuang walked up to Bai Guo with an open letter in his hand and frowned, "Princess, the people from Shang Shuangzhou Caravan came back with news, Sha*** The team has arrived at the border, and the war will begin within ten days."
Bai Guo had already laid his eyes on this letter when An Chuang came in. At this time, he took the letter and read it at a glance, feeling heavy in his heart.
Ten days…
The army in Jinlin Prefecture has not received any transfer orders yet!
The Kingdom of Sha was so straightforward that while collecting grain and transporting it domestically, they suppressed the news and allowed the army to march. They did not even find any reason for conquest before they pressed heavy troops against the Kingdom of Chengzhou!
In this way, it is clear that he will bite down and become the "meat" of Zhou State.
"How many thousands of soldiers are there on the border now?" Bai Guo handed the envelope to Pang Yang, who had already stood up and stepped forward.
An Chuang glanced at Pang Yang, who had obviously suppressed his emotions compared to when he came in, and did not reply.
Pang Yang looked at the number 130,000 on the letter and added in a deep voice: "Forty thousand."
forty thousand……
The Saudi army has enough time to drive straight into Shangshuangzhou!
Bai Guo closed his eyes and opened them again after calming down, "First pass the news to the emperor, and at the same time ask An Jie to take my letter to Annan County to find Governor Gu Yuanjia so that they can be prepared."
It would definitely be impossible to make it in ten days, but as long as Anjie passed the news earlier, Governor Gu Yuanjia would definitely be able to make arrangements earlier.
Yu Lan, who had just come back, quickly brought pen, ink and paper. Bai Guo paused with the pen in his right hand, and then changed it to his left hand.
The ink falls on the paper, showing its sharpness.
When Ging Guo stopped writing, Yu Lan quickly dried it and stuffed it into the envelope. An Chuang had also used a secret whistle to notify An Jie and others to come, so Yu Lan gave the envelope directly to An Jie.
Ansuke had already sobered up while Anshuang was delivering the letter. At this time, he solemnly stuffed the letter into his clothes and said, "My subordinates must bring the letter with me!"
Bai Guo nodded, An Jie took two steps back and left, and the other secret guard who was delivering the message to the emperor saluted and left at the same time.
"Dan Chuang, contact all the owners in Jinlin Prefecture to purchase their stored grain and transport it to Shangshuangzhou, mobilize the clerks and team members of all the stores in Shangshuangzhou to organize and evacuate the people in the counties on the front line, and send an order to Lezhou merchants The members of the transportation team will transport the latest batch of medicinal materials directly. Yulan, take my token to Shangshuangzhou to mobilize doctors to gather with medicines and wait for orders. I will secretly lead you to lead thirty people to protect Yulan!"
Magnolia's eyes shone like a newly bladed sword, and she loudly responded "Yes", and the secret guards below quickly followed suit.
Ginkgo
His eyes turned to Ge Yin, who had just come in with a book, "You stay and take care of Ming Xia, Twelve, select twenty people to stay and take care of her."
At these words, Pang Yang suddenly looked at Bai Guo, and Twelve quickly took the order.
Ge Yin glanced at the gathered dead bodyguards, first responded "Yes", and then reminded: "The imperial edict has not yet reached the Princess."
When Yu Lan heard this, she realized what Bai Guo's previous sentence meant. She immediately said, "The princess can stay in Jinlin State. It is enough to have slaves and others ahead."
Bai Guo did not answer Yulan's words, but said directly: "No wait, send the maid to tell Zhizhou that we will set off early tomorrow morning, everything will be simple."
Yu Lan was still trying to persuade her, but she saw that Bai Guo had turned back to look at her and said, "Aren't these doctors all loyal to me sincerely? If I don't even dare to step into Shuangzhou, then I will force them to stay here." They will only be angry, but once the Saudi Arabia breaks through the border, the people will be the first to suffer."
The people suffer, and if there are not enough doctors, they can only wait to die.
Yulan looked at the girl in front of her who was doing her best to make arrangements just to save more people, and in a trance she seemed to see the young general in armor and full of heroism.
The young general was also a girl who had just grown hair. She was armed with a red tassel spear and went into battle with her father to kill the enemy without fear of worldly prejudices. She killed her opponents in fear, killed thousands of men in the Zhou Kingdom who admired her, and killed no one who dared to look down upon her.
I thought that with the young general retiring to the back house, there would be no woman in the world with such a profound sense of justice and a heart for the world, but little did he know that the daughter the young general raised outside also inherited this character.
Even if she can't fight on the battlefield like a young general, even if she can't carry a red tassel gun like a young general, her pride makes her do her best to protect the land and water like a young general.
At this moment, Yu Lan truly felt that the blood flowing through Bai Guo's body was the blood of the Ni family, who had been guarding the whole country for a long time, and the blood of the Bai family, whose men and women had studied medicine for generations and were trusted by thousands of soldiers.
From birth, she was different from the noble girl in the boudoir.
Pang Yang lowered his eyes.
It wasn't for him, but he was still happy.
But... the battlefield is too dangerous.
The Saudi state's behavior today has obviously given up its credibility among other countries. In this way, they can only show the strength of their soldiers by swallowing several states of Chengzhou state, and then they can have the confidence to confront other countries, and they can also let them win. Zhou State was in a dilemma of being isolated and helpless.
Therefore, they will definitely not be gentle, for fear that in the cities they pass by, the people... bones will be everywhere. new
It was a place different from a battlefield, but quite like hell.
