Three days later, Xiao Yu arrived at Kaifeng Mansion. Women, children and the elderly from Luoyang to Jining were all moved to Hulao Pass. Ten thousand soldiers led by General Ning also arrived in Handan.
All the border troops are now on standby. They don't know when Nan Chen will attack. Maybe an hour later, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...
The two Chen brothers took a few days' leave from Emperor Shunning and returned to the Chen Mansion to stay with Chen Xinyu for a few days.
Lin Tong also lived in Chen Mansion and accompanied Chen Xinyu every day.
The two of them sat in the courtyard, Xiao Ming served two cups of tea, Chen Xinyu did not move, her pretty face was full of sadness, until the heat in the tea cup slowly disappeared.
Lin Tong has been with her these past few days and has said everything he needs to say. Now he doesn't know what to say. He is just drinking tea quietly.
Chen Xinyu adjusted her mood and looked at Lin Tong with a smile, "Xiao Tong, the one you love is leading troops outside. Anyone else would be worried. There are also millions of people on the border. Once a war breaks out, life will be devastated. Alas, in this troubled world, we don't know When will it end?”
Lin Tong put down the tea cup and looked at Chen Xinyu with a smile and said: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and he will definitely end the troubled times in the north and south. And everyone in the capital knows that the prince leads his troops to victory. He will definitely defeat Nanchen and return to the capital gloriously."
Chen Xinyu looked at the teacup, and touched the teacup with her slender fingers. Her eyes were proud and determined, and she murmured at the corner of her mouth: "I believe he can do it too."
At this time, in the imperial study room of the palace, Chen Tianyu was kneeling down with his head buried in the ground. On both sides of him, Emperor Shun Ning, who was sitting on top with gorgeous hair, sighed, "Have you thought about it yet?"
Chen Tianyu raised his head and said resolutely: "As a sergeant of Daliang, I should protect my family and the country. Now that Nanchen has invaded, I am willing to resign as deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and go to Handan to defend Nanchen with General Ning. Protect my common people." After saying that, he buried his head in the ground again.
Emperor Shun Ning looked at him. After three moments, Emperor Shun Ning slowly said, "Okay, let's set off immediately."
Chen Tianyu raised his buried head and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Come on, go back and say goodbye to your family. Come back after winning the battle, and I will give you an official title." Emperor Shunning said as he stood up and looked at Zhao Xin pointing at the cup on the table. Zhao Xin understood. Immediately brought it over, Emperor Shunning took the cup and shouted: "Someone come and serve the wine."
Chen Tianyu also stood up and understood what Emperor Shunning meant.
The little eunuch came in. Emperor Shun Ning took the wine glass and waved it to the little eunuch to go out. As he came, he said, "This wine in Daliang is never as good as Nanchen's. Come on, sir, after drinking this glass of wine, I will serve you." Practice it.”
Chen Tianyu took the wine glass and said excitedly: "One day, Nanchen's wine will be Daliang's wine!"
After finishing the drink, he picked up the tea cup, bent down and pushed out of the imperial study room step by step.
Emperor Shun Ning looked at Chen Tianyu who was exiting, "We in Daliang need such lofty ideals."
Zhao Xin chuckled, "It's all because of Your Majesty's openness that I can prosper."
Emperor Shun Ning snorted and said, "Okay, stop flattering me and let Zhongshu Sheng draft an order to resign Chen Tianyu from his position as deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. He will be accepted as the garrison general and immediately set off for Handan to assist Ning Xi."
Zhao Xin took the order and went out.
Chen Tianyu returned to Chen Mansion, and the imperial edict was also sent to Chen Mansion. Lin Tong returned to Lin Mansion after breakfast.
Chen Lexin was still in the staff department, and the Chen Mansion's servants went to pack things. In Tingchun Pavilion, Yang Qianrou looked at the imperial edict and Chen Tianyu kneeling on the ground. She wiped a tear and said with a strong smile: "As a Daliang soldier, the country has It’s difficult, it will eventually be Yu’er’s time to serve the country.”
Kneeling on the ground, Chen Tianyu also held back a tear and said, "Mom, I will win the battle and come back safely."
"Mom is proud of you. I originally planned to give you the sachet that I embroidered for you in two days, so take it now."
Chen Tianyu took the sachet and kowtowed three times.
Yang Qianrou went over and touched Chen Tianyu's face, but hesitated to speak. After a while, she slowly spat out from the corner of her mouth, "Okay, mom is sleepy, you should go quickly." After saying that, she put down her hand and walked to the bed to lean on her.
Chen Tianyu kowtowed heavily 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 her, 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, second brother, I promise you that you will come back safely. I will carry you on the sedan."
Chen Tianwen said at this time: "Don't fight with me. It's me who carries the little girl. You can only come back and watch."
"I already told my little sister."
"When? Why didn't I know?"
Chen Xinyu forced out a smile after listening to what the two said, "Second brother, I'll let you carry it all when you come back."
Chen Tianyu looked at his brother and sister and slowly felt reluctance in his eyes, "You guys spend more time with your mother. Time is urgent, so I won't talk more. Please help me say goodbye to my father. Big brother and little sister, wait for me." return."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of Chen Mansion.
The two watched Chen Tianyu's back disappear into Chen's mansion.
Chen Xinyu looked at Chen Tianwen and said, "Brother, let's go in and accompany our mother."
"good."
The two of them stayed with Yang Qianrou for a while.
After lunch, Chen Xinyu took Xiao Ming out of Chen's mansion, followed by Ningshu. Xiao Yu arranged Ningshu next to Chen Xinyu.
The three of them were walking on the street.
Chen Xinyu asked Xiang Ningshu, "Ningshu, is there any news about the prince?"
Ningshu replied: "Back to your Majesty, the prince has arrived at Kaifeng Mansion."
Chen Xinyu thought to herself that it was fortunate that Ningshu was there, so it would be less troublesome to find out the information.
Xiao Ming comforted: "Miss, you don't need to worry too much. The second young master is stationed there and will not send troops until the situation is urgent. Maybe the prince will force Kuanglan at the border and beat Nanchen to pieces. Woolen cloth."
Chen Xinyu was amused by Xiao Ming, "What are you talking about?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people galloped past on horseback, shouting: "Dali Temple is handling the case, stay away!"
Chen Xinyu is listening below, Dali Temple?
At this time, Xiao Yunchun was also riding behind. His equestrian skills were not good and he was riding slowly. He saw Chen Xinyu at a glance.
"Fifth Aunt." Xiao Yunchun stopped his horse.
Chen Xinyu also looked at him in confusion, "Your Highness?"
The three of them saluted.
Xiao Yunchun got off his horse and explained: "My father brought me to Dali Temple, so that's why." He didn't say that he was not good at riding a horse.
Chen Xinyu snorted, "Then, Your Highness, why are you still chatting with us here?"
Xiao Yunchun snorted, "I'm just here to make up the numbers. It's the same with or without me, but Fifth Aunt doesn't go out much these days. Dali Temple and the secret guards want to catch the Wu Desi personnel lurking in Lingjing, so pay attention to safety."
"Then you are going?"
Xiao Yunchun became serious, "No, General Ning's second son was assassinated today. However, the Ning Mansion belongs to a family of generals, and the guards arrived in time, so the second son was only injured and the assassin ran away. The purpose of going to Dali Temple this time is to investigate Let’s find out whether the real murderer is Wude Si’s man, and see if we can find some traces to find Wude Si’s lair.”
At this time, someone from Dali Temple came back, "Your Highness, the Master of the Temple asked you to follow me." After saying that, he hurried back.
"Okay, Fifth Aunt, I'm leaving then." After saying that, she got on the horse and left.
Chen Xinyu thought about what she just said. The second son of Ning Mansion was assassinated, and General Ning is now stationed in Handan. What is the connection between them?
