Three days later, the 10,000 troops of the Forbidden Army were also selected.
After seeing it, Jia Cong was very satisfied. No one dared to trick him.
These forbidden troops have been trained by themselves for a period of time, and their physiques are still very good.
Jia Cong appointed a general to help him command the 10,000 forbidden troops. This man's name was Niu Xiaoyong, the son of Niu Jizong. For this matter, Niu Jizong came to Jia Cong's door and specially thanked him.
People from the founding lineage came to see Jia Cong one after another, as if they had already discussed it.
They all want to take advantage of Jia Cong's east wind to gain some credit in countering the rebellion. If they are lucky and can be promoted or knighted, they will make a lot of money.
These people are very confident in Jia Cong's combat prowess.
If Jia Cong can't win, let alone others.
Jia Cong also has some headaches about this. If you don't satisfy them, you will offend others. Satisfy them. Many people are not in the army at all. They just want to get credit and are of no use to themselves.
After much deliberation, he called them all together and told them clearly that if they wanted military merit, they had to risk their lives. Jia Cong would not deduct anyone's credit, and naturally no credit would be given to them.
After hearing what Jia Cong said, some people retreated, but some chose to stay and follow Jia Cong on the expedition.
The people left behind include Ma Shang, the third-rank Weiyuan general, Chen Ruiwen, the third-rank Weizhen general, Xie Qiong, the first-class son, and others. These people are already in the army and can be transferred here. This can be regarded as a kind of screening.
Jia Cong will give them the opportunity. As for whether they can make meritorious deeds, it's up to them.
During this period, Emperor Longqing lost his temper and summoned Jia Cong again.
Looking at Jia Cong below, Emperor Longqing said angrily: "Why are you so dawdling? Why don't you lead troops to go on an expedition?"
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am preparing some necessary means and disposing of the gunpowder for future use. I have already set a date for the expedition. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Emperor Longqing nodded and asked, "How confident are you in this expedition to quell the rebellion?"
Although he knew that Jia Cong could fight, the situation of the battle was different, and Emperor Longqing was not sure. He had failed several times, and his hope was all on Jia Cong.
Jia Cong pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that this expedition will be won or not."
After hearing Jia Cong's decisive words, Emperor Longqing instantly felt relieved.
He said happily: "Okay, I'll wait for your triumphant return and help you wash away the dust."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I will not let you down."
······
The Royal Palace, Cining Palace.
After knowing that Jia Cong was about to go on an expedition, the queen still secretly found him.
The first is to discuss the follow-up matters, the second is to help Jia Cong see him off, and the third is to send his care.
This time Jia Cong did not come in openly, but sneaked in secretly after receiving the news.
Since I came in yesterday afternoon, I have been struggling for most of the day before I calmed down and spoke.
Concubine Chen reluctantly said: "Ning Guogong, when can you come back? If you don't come back, I will miss you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "How could I know that? Things are changing rapidly on the battlefield, and I don't know when I will be able to return to the court. I can only do my best to obey fate. If everything goes well, I will be able to come back within a year. If If there is an accident, we won’t know.”
Concubine Chen said worriedly: "Then you must be more careful and come back alive. I believe you will be able to make a triumphant return. I am waiting for you to come back."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, I will definitely come back alive. It's no use being a mere rebel."
The queen next to her looked at the two of them and sighed helplessly.
Now that Jia Cong is gone, he becomes isolated and helpless. He has no confidence at all by himself. God has no eyesight.
The queen said: "Ning Guogong is here, just go to war with peace of mind and strive for an early victory. You don't have to worry about your family."
Heart, I will take care of it for you. "
Seeing the queen's worried face, Jia Cong also understood her mood.
However, I have no choice but to disobey the emperor's order, so I can only say that it is God's will.
Jia Cong comforted him: "Queen, there is no need to be like this. Before everything is settled, everything is possible. We still have a great chance. Queen, we must not lose heart."
The queen forced a smile and said, "Yes, I understand."
Seeing that she still looked moody, Jia Cong couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
It was really fun just now, but now it's like this. Could it be that you did it deliberately to show yourself, right?
This woman has a lot on her mind, and she doesn’t know what she is planning.
But now that she is gone, what else can she do?
Forget about missing her, it's time for me to leave. When daybreak, I have to go see my eldest son.
After telling each other about their parting feelings, Jia Cong quietly left Cining Palace.
······
In the morning, Jia Cong came to Dai Quan's home.
Seeing Jia Cong coming, Chan'er rushed forward and said with a worried look: "Lang Jun, I heard that you are going to fight, but it frightened the slave family. Can't you not go?"
It seems that this woman has also heard what Dai Quan said, and she must have been looking forward to her arrival.
Jia Cong patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "It is hard to disobey the emperor's order, so how can you say that you won't go if you don't go? But don't worry Chan'er, I will be fine. I haven't put a group of rebels away yet." In the eyes."
After hearing this, Chan'er's face became much better, and she nodded and said, "Well, Mr. Dai said that you are very powerful and will be fine. The slave family also believes that Mr. Lang will be able to return triumphantly. You don't know when you leave. When can you come back? Go and see the child first. Maybe when you come back, the child will call you daddy."
This is really possible. This battle will take at least a year, or even longer.
A year later, the child was over one year old and could indeed learn to speak.
Asking the nanny to bring the child over, Jia Cong reached out to take it. He saw the boy staring at Jia Cong with two big black eyes, and then stretched out his hand to grab his face.
This little guy doesn't recognize other people, so he should be able to recognize people at his size, right?
Chan'er couldn't help but smile knowingly when she saw Jia Cong teasing the child.
As I watched, my mood began to feel low again.
It would be great if a family of three could live together.
It's a pity that the child's surname is Dai, and he can't bear to leave the child, so he can only continue as usual.
Jia Cong asked, "Chan'er, has Lao Dai named the child?"
Chan'er came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "Not yet. After thinking about it a few times, I don't like it very much. I also wanted you to give me a name. How about you name the child? After all, you are also him. My dear father."
Jia Cong was really having trouble naming this thing. It would be very simple if Daiyu and Baochai came.
Just as he was about to refuse, his heart suddenly moved, and he was so blessed that a name came to his mind.
"This child was not meant to be born. God gave him life, so let's call him a gift from God."
Chan'er murmured: "Tianci, Tianci, okay, the child will be called Tianci from now on. This child will definitely be blessed."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "That's natural. It doesn't matter who his father is."
Chan'er said: "Tianci is your son, you can't ignore him from now on."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry Chan'er, even if Lao Dai doesn't care about him, I will make him rich and prosperous for the rest of his life."
Chan'er sighed and said, "Hey, it would be nice if I called you Jia Tianci."
The eldest son of Ningguo Mansion must have an extraordinary status. Even if he is the eldest son of a concubine, Jia Cong cannot be ignored.
[In view of the general environment,
Jia Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Stop thinking nonsense, your last name is not important, what is important is
He is our son. Now that we have promised Lao Dai, we cannot go back on our word. Without him, we cannot be together. "
Chan'er said: "Well, I understand. I'm just saying, you must protect yourself. I can't live without you."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "You can take care of yourself and your children at home, and don't worry about me."
After staying with Chan'er for most of the day, Jia Cong took his leave.
······
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to set off for the expedition.
Jia Cong is fully armed, with a black helmet and black armor, and a black iron sword on his waist. He is majestic and full of evil spirit.
The black war horse next to it had shiny black hair, not a single streak of color, and only a ring of white hair on its four hooves. It was the sweaty horse riding on the clouds.
On the victory hook on one side hung a dark iron spear, a three-stone strong bow, and a pot of arrows.
Behind them stood Li Biao, Qingwen, and Chun Xia Qiu Dong. They were also wearing black helmets, black armor, and black iron swords. Qingwen also carried a rectangular sandalwood box on her back.
Behind them are two hundred soldiers, also wearing black helmets, black armor, and black iron swords, standing neatly on the school field.
There were ten carriages parked on one side, and Han Nianci and six medical soldiers stood beside the carriages.
In addition to one cart of medicinal materials, one cart can accommodate seven people, and the remaining eight carts contain fifty grenade launchers, five thousand grenades, and ten thousand grenades.
This is Jia Cong's biggest guarantee. No matter what kind of elite he faces, it is enough to turn them into powder.
This is also Jia Cong's last guarantee. He will not use it in front of others unless absolutely necessary.
Jia Cong asked for 50,000 kilograms of gunpowder, which was also used to mix audio and video. Of course, it would also be used for great purposes. It was entirely dependent on them to attack the city and conquer the stronghold.
They have all been made into explosive packets by Jia Cong, three thousand large explosive packets, and four thousand small explosive packets.
The large explosive bag contains ten kilograms of gunpowder and is specially used to destroy the city.
The small explosive bag contains five kilograms of gunpowder, which is used to ambush and ambush the enemy in advance. It is also very powerful.
Knowing that Jia Cong was going on an expedition today, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai came to the school grounds with their girls from the mansion to say their final goodbyes.
Jia Cong didn't want to see such a parting scene, but he couldn't stand everyone's begging, so he had no choice but to agree.
Seeing Jia Cong's military uniform and upright figure, everyone couldn't help but look sideways.
Although Jia Cong vowed that nothing would happen, everyone was still a little worried about him.
Seeing the girls coming to the edge of the school field, Jia Cong walked over.
His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, looking at the beautiful faces, and thinking of every bit of time spent with them, the scenes appeared in front of his eyes again, and his heart was also filled with ups and downs.
A trace of sadness of farewell also quietly surged in my heart.
Although I am very confident, the battlefield is full of mystery and how the situation will develop cannot be predicted by me. I can only adapt to the situation and try my best to make the war develop in a direction that is favorable to me.
Seeing everyone's lack of interest and sad expressions on their faces, Jia Cong forced a smile and said: "It seems that you don't have confidence in me. Master, I am a victorious general. I have never been defeated since my debut. I am just a rebel. What's the point?" That’s right."
After hearing what Jia Cong said, everyone's expressions improved a lot.
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, my sister believes in you. You will definitely return victoriously. My sister is waiting for your return."
Xue Baochai said: "Master, I also believe in you. I am waiting for your return at home."
Shi Xiangyun said: "Third brother is the most powerful. Don't worry, everyone. Third brother, you have to come back soon."
Xichun ran forward, hugged Jia Cong, with tears in her eyes, and said with a sad face: "Brother, you must come back."
Yingchun said: "Brother Cong, you must take care of yourself."
Tanchun said: "Third brother, my sister is waiting for your triumphant return."
Xue Baoqin said: "Brother-in-law, you are the best, you will definitely be able to defeat the bad guys."
Xing Xiuyan said: "Cousin, you have to be more careful."
······
Hearing the warnings and instructions, Jia Cong felt a little moved. He gently rubbed Xichun's head and comforted her.
"Don't worry, brother will be fine. Just stay at home and wait for me to come back."
Xichun leaned on Jia Cong and nodded her head gently.
"Well, I listen to my brother."
Jia Cong slowly scanned everyone one by one again, including Yuanyang, Ping'er, Xiren, Xiangling, Ruyan, Hailanzhu, Dayu'er, Xiaoyu'er, Yueya, Yanhong, Xiaohong, Youshi, Qin Keqing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and beside You, there were also Second Sister You and Third Sister You.
Seeing the resentful looks of the two sisters, Jia Cong could only smile bitterly in return.
Third Sister You said: "You are a heartless person, but you must come back alive. Our sisters have been waiting for you for so many years, and we cannot let us wait in vain. You must give us an explanation."
When everyone heard this, they all looked over, some were indifferent and some were surprised.
Everyone in Ningguo Mansion knew what the two sisters were thinking, but not many people in Xi Mansion knew.
Jia Cong did not expect that Third Sister You would be so bold as to say it in public. She was the only one who had such courage. She was really a woman who dared to love and hate.
Speaking of it, it has been seven or eight years since Jia Cong took over the Ningguo Mansion, and You family was the one who helped bring it about.
What's rare is that their minds haven't changed, and it's really time to make a promise to them.
Jia Cong stared at Sister You and said, "If I can come back alive and you haven't changed your mind by then, I will take you in."
After saying that, he no longer looked at her, his eyes fell on Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and he shouted categorically: "Master, I will definitely return in triumph. You take care of your home and wait for my return."
After that, without saying any more words, he turned around and came to the side of Taoyunju, jumped on his horse, and shouted: "Let's go!"
Jia Cong shook the reins, knocked the horse's belly with his legs, and drove the horse out. A group of armored soldiers followed closely and roared away with great momentum.
Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others looked at Jia Cong's leaving figure with deep worry on their faces.
