Logically speaking, it was already late at night and the eldest lady should have gone to bed long ago. The two of them were originally afraid of being disturbed, but they did not expect that the eldest lady did not fall asleep at all.
The eldest lady sighed, "I can't sleep." and asked urgently: "Why are you here? Is it because of Xiao Qi that you are here at this time?"
The two of them immediately understood that the eldest lady was worried about Su Rong and was so worried that she couldn't sleep.
The two of them suddenly didn't know whether they should tell her about the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao leading an 800,000-strong army to attack Nanchu. If she knew about it, wouldn't it be even more difficult to sleep? But if they didn't tell them, the prince would leave the capital and all the soldiers and horses in the capital would be transferred. The news would probably not be hidden, and she would still be worried.
So, the two looked at each other, and Jiang Xing said, "Aunt Su, it's like this. Tomorrow we set off to the border of Wei Dynasty. We will meet Brother Xingze. I want to ask you, do you have anything to say to Brother Xingze? "
The eldest lady invited you to sit in the front hall and said with concern: "Why do you want to go to the border of Wei? A few days ago, the old Duke went there. Is there really going to be a war?"
Jiang Xing nodded and briefly told the story of Wei's invasion of Southern Chu, Daliang's plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and the prince's personal visit to the border town.
The eldest lady's face changed, "The 800,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty attacked Nanchu? How many soldiers and horses does Xiao Qi have in his hands? No wonder I haven't received her letter. She promised well when she left, saying that every day She writes to me every month, but I haven’t received a letter from her in two months.”
"Auntie, please feel free. It is said that Miss Seven has 500,000 soldiers and horses in her hands. In addition, she has been prepared for it. The second and third masters of the Protector's Mansion have brought 200,000 soldiers and horses to the border of Nanchu. They must have received them by now. According to the news, we have gone to support. In total, there are 700,000 soldiers and horses, which is not too big a gap. With Miss Qi’s skills, Brother Zhou Gu is here, and there are many capable people who have taken refuge in her, there should be no danger. "
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and patted her heart, "That's good, that's good."
Jiang Xing also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was right to say this, so as not to worry the eldest lady, there was no need to say that the border of Nanchu was ten days and a half month away from Heiya Pass, and there was no need to say that the prince of Wei had Nangong. With guidance, the people in the family were very familiar with the topography of the Wei Dynasty, and the two armies had already started fighting at Heiyaguan.
When the fight started, Wei had an actual 800,000 troops, while Su Rong had nearly 500,000 troops. Whether they could hold Heiya Pass or not, they were far away in Daliang and had to wait for news.
Chen Zhou thought to himself that Jiang Xing was better at talking than him, so it was really appropriate for him to speak. He also said: "Aunt Su, just relax! Who is Su Rong? She has great abilities and never suffers. She’s so weird, not to mention that Mr. Xie is here, isn’t he? Mr. Xie is resourceful and will also help her.”
The eldest lady nodded, "You are right. That little thing Xiao Qi has not had a bad temper since she was a child. When she was three years old, she was able to beat older children who were several years older than him."
Chen Zhou was ashamed, he was one of the older children who was beaten by Su Rong.
The eldest lady also thought about the fight between the two and laughed, "Think about those years in Jiangning County, you juniors grew up fighting and fighting in a blink of an eye. We used to fight, but now we miss each other. Last time we were young, Qi wrote and asked about you, and I said everything is fine with you, one has entered the Ministry of War, and the other has entered the Ministry of Household Affairs. Because of the relationship between Dong Palace and our Jiangzhou, neither of them has been bullied, so it is very smooth."
Chen Zhou also giggled, "Yes, yes, thanks to Su Rong, we became the East Palace faction early on. Ever since we entered the court as officials and wore the East Palace hat on our heads, no one dared to embarrass us."
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, they will also be loyal royalists of the Emperor.
The eldest lady nodded and stopped smiling. She also knew that it was too late and it was not easy for the two of them to come here. She still had luggage to pack and arrange, so she stood up and said, "Thank you two nephews. I have knee pads and armor and other things." I have to ask the inn to deliver it to Xingze. Now that you are here, I will have someone take it out. You can wait for a while and take it away directly."
The two nodded quickly.
So, the eldest lady ordered people to clean up.
At the same time, the eldest lady took up a pen and wrote a letter to Su Xingze. Mother and son always wrote short letters. The eldest lady asked in the letter that if he received any news about Su Rong, he would send someone to inform her and tell her more. Her father, who was in Jiangzhou, had written several times to ask why he hadn't heard from Xiao Qi after so long.
Soon, the nanny packed a package and came out. The eldest lady handed the letter to Jiang Xing and told the two of them, "You must be careful. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. You are not generals, so there is no need to steal the work of generals and soldiers." , push forward with all your might."
The two of them asked the eldest lady to take care of herself and left Dongsi Hutong.
After seeing the two of them off, the eldest lady sighed, "With all the war, the people are in dire straits."
The eldest lady also knows how strong the country of Liang has been in recent years. If he really wants to fight against the Wei Dynasty, His Highness will probably have no choice but to fight against the Wei Dynasty and save Nanchu.
Early on the next morning, Prince Yan Huisheng, the Crown Prince Zhou Wei, Prince Xie Lin of Ruian Palace, Hanlin Academy Lu Fengyan, Bingbu Jiangxing, Hubu Chenzhou and others set out for the border between Daliang and Dawei.
Duanhua got the news and hurried out of the city. Before the prince left, he stopped the prince and gave him five hundred personal guards of Princess Qingping's mansion.
Yan Hui said in surprise, "Why did you leave so many people alone?"
Duan Hua immediately said: "The battlefield is dangerous. My mother told you to take it and protect yourself and Su Xingze. If something happens to Su Rong's eldest brother, Su Rong will be very sad."
Yan Hui nodded, "Okay, I'll take it."
Duan Hua breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Actually, I also want to go to the battlefield, but I don't know martial arts."
Yan Hui smiled warmly, "If you stay in the capital, any news about Su Rong will be sent to the princess mansion."
That's what Duan Hua meant. She was also worried that Su Rong was too worried, so she smiled broadly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, your highness. Thank you, cousin. You will definitely win."
Yan Hui nodded, "I'm borrowing my cousin's good words."
The prince set out and took a few officials with him. The remaining officials in the court came to see him off outside the city early today.
After the courtiers sent the prince back to the city, Duanhua walked back listlessly. When she returned to the city gate, she saw Qin Luan standing at the city gate. She was stunned for a moment, "Qin Luan? What are you..."
When Qin Luan saw Duan Hua, he knelt down and said, "Princess," and replied to her, "The prince left something in a hurry when he left. The servant came out to deliver it, but fortunately, he had time to give it to the prince."
Duanhua said "Oh", thinking that Qin Luan, as a female official of the East Palace, was responsible for the affairs around the prince. She found that it was normal for the prince to leave something behind, so she nodded and said to her: "Let's go! It's very cold today. , and you should stop blowing the cold wind here."
Dear babies, monthly pass, okay?
