The court was engaged in heated discussions on how to obtain enough silver to support the imminent war.
On the first day of the new year, he was dragged back to the court to work overtime. In the following days, Yan Fuguang disappeared.
Luqing was busy taking care of Brother Lan and seldom asked about Yan Fuguang's movements. It was not until the first month was about to pass that she suddenly learned that Yan Fuguang was about to go to northern Xinjiang.
This news was revealed by Ning Huayue.
When saying goodbye, Ning Huayue suddenly mentioned this matter, and everyone present was surprised.
"It's so good, but we're going to fight again?" Concubine Fang Ya asked doubtfully.
Ji Mingzhu glanced over with disdain: "How are you doing? Concubine Fang is living a confused life. The situation in the north is so severe. You close the door and ignore what is happening outside the window. You don't know what you are busy with."
She made Fang Ya feel ashamed, lowered her head in shame and admitted her mistake: "I said the wrong thing."
Ji Mingzhu was not in the mood to continue to embarrass her today. She frowned and analyzed: "I have raised almost a month's worth of silver, and I can barely make a dozen." However, the conversation changed and she said, "But Northern Xinjiang is not the mother clan of Jiang with a crown prince. Is the family in charge? Do we need to use the prince?"
There was worry in Chen Qingzi's eyes. She also heard some news from Concubine Chen, "The method of raising money was thought up by the prince. It is said that it offended many people, so this battle must be won. Otherwise, not only will the morale of the army be unstable, but our internal also……"
This is why Yan Fuguang must go into battle.
He is Dayan's God of War. With him on the front line, everyone can feel at ease.
Emperor Xihe had high hopes for Yan Fuguang. He patted Yan Fuguang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Fuguang, it's up to you and General Longhu this time. Don't let me down or let the people of Dayan down." We are disappointed!”
Yan Fuguang's eyes were calm and murderous: "I obey my orders!"
**
The night before leaving, Lu Qing only saw Yan Fuguang's face.
He was wearing a green robe, his face was like a crown of jade, and his figure was as tall and tall as the evergreen bamboo forest in Jinji Courtyard.
Brother Lan staggered over and hugged his legs, shouting stickyly: "Father!"
Yan Fuguang raised the corners of his mouth, leaned over and picked up Brother Lan, then threw him up to catch him.
Lan Geer likes to play this kind of game with him, and his cheerful and cute laughter flows in every corner of Jinqiyuan.
Lu Qing knew that he would lead his troops and set off at dawn, so he hurriedly called the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The father and son played for a while, and Lu Qing asked them to quickly enter the house.
Yan Fuguang sat on the soft couch, and Lu Qing personally brought hot tea and put it in his hand.
She sat down quietly on the other side and pushed a small box towards Yan Fuguang.
"What?" Yan Fuguang asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Silver notes." Lu Qing put all the silver notes she had given him before in this small box, two thousand taels, which was a drop in the bucket for this war, but this was all she could afford.
Yan Fuguang's eyes trembled slightly, he opened the box and took a look, and understood everything.
"Why don't you keep it for yourself?" he asked.
"The war is urgent. I and Lan Ge'er have a monthly schedule, so it will be enough. I won't be able to use these for a while, so you should take them and use them where they should be used."
She didn't take out these silver notes to let Yan Fuguang have a deeper opinion of her. Lu Qing simply heard about raising money for the war and felt that she should also contribute.
"The soldiers are in front to protect our family and the country. I can't do anything. I can only show my love with the money given by the prince."
Yan Fuguang admired Lu Qing a little more. If all the wealthy businessmen in Dayan were as sensible as her, it would be much easier for him to raise money.
He grabbed the box politely and said, "Then I'll take it."
Lu Qing smiled and nodded, then she said softly with bright eyes, "I hope you will return victoriously."
Yan Fuguang wanted to say something but swallowed it. After a while he asked, "Do you want to take Brother Lan with you to send me on an expedition?"
Lu Qing answered without hesitation: "I think so."
At this time, she didn't want to care about other people's opinions, and she no longer struggled with whether her behavior was out of line. She wanted to send Yan Fuguang on the expedition, and wanted Lan Ge'er to know that his father was the hero of Dayan.
While others were deliberately trying to win over people, Yan Fuguang was not afraid of offending the powerful, just to raise money to defend the northern border. He was not afraid of death and appeared on the battlefield again and again, shuttled through the sea of swords, guns and fire. His horse hooves trampled over enemy corpses one after another, and one fell behind him. Another soldier, everything he did was just to protect the people living on this land.
Lu Qing hopes that Brother Lan, like Yan Fuguang, will be able to bravely shoulder the responsibilities of a man when he grows up.
She stared at Yan Fuguang with burning eyes. Yan Fuguang was burned by this look, his Adam's apple slipped, and his voice was hoarse: "We will set off at nine o'clock tomorrow. I will ask Fang Jinbao to take you to the restaurant in advance. After coming out of the school grounds, I will pass by There."
"Okay, I will go with Brother Lan to see you off."
After dinner, Yan Fuguang was called away by Ling Yun from Yihongyuan, saying that Ning Huayue had something to say to Yan Fuguang.
Lu Qing stood at the door, watching Yan Fuguang.
Yan Fuguang turned around, squeezed her palm, and said in a tone that Ling Yun could hear, "I'll be back in a while."
"Yes." Lu Qing looked at Lingyun, smiled, and gently pushed Yan Fuguang, her expression and movement were all affectionate, "I understand, you go quickly, don't keep the princess waiting."
Lingyun felt really sad for her young lady after seeing it. It was nothing like this. The prince and his young lady couldn't even be considered as living together, but they and Concubine Wei looked very much like an ordinary couple.
After leaving Jinxiyuan, Yan Fuguang returned to his most common cold face mode.
He asked coldly: "What does the princess want from me?"
Lingyun fell behind and replied: "I don't know."
Yan Fuguang then stopped talking.
Ning Huayue looked forward to it and finally saw Yan Fuguang's figure. She smiled and greeted her servants: "Didn't the small kitchen make two new snacks? Bring them to the prince to try."
Yan Fuguang stopped him and said, "No need, I had dinner at Jinxi Courtyard."
Ning Huayue had known for a long time that he had gone to Jinxiyuan, but when she heard him say it himself, her smile couldn't help but freeze.
Yan Fuguang walked past Ning Huayue, went to the soft couch, and sat down: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Ning Huayue had several large boxes of things brought in, and she said enthusiastically, "I know you are going to the battlefield, so I have prepared some things for you that you will need when you are away."
The money that the Ning family should pay has already been paid, and Ning Huayue thought that it would not be short of hers, so she expressed her concern in other ways.
She packed several large boxes of clothes, made several sets of armor, and several pairs of combat boots. She even packed a lot of old food.
Yan Fuguang took a cursory glance and pointed rudely: "There is no need for the clothes. Fang Jinbao is prepared. The rest will be carried to Hemingyuan. The princess is ready."
Don't give it up, he won't need it, don't he still have so many soldiers?
Ning Huayue felt relieved. She had been preparing for so long, but it finally worked. She would do it little by little, and the prince would always find her virtuous side.
"It's getting late, Your Majesty..."
Yan Fuguang stood up immediately and said, "It's getting late. I'd better go back to Jinxiyuan. The Wei family will definitely be waiting."
Ning Huayue was discouraged. Seeing that he was about to step out of Yihongyuan, she called out to him again: "Your Majesty, why don't I go to see you off on your expedition?"
Yan Fuguang kept walking without looking back: "No need."
