Chapter 352: Volume C: peace, mind
Seeing that several girls were reluctant to leave, Yun Shang and Xiang Ling's eyes were red, and Feng Ziying was also a little emotional.
After a few months of getting along, even Yu Chuan'er had some feelings for her, and naturally she felt a little reluctant to let him go.
This person is like this. If you don't know him at first, you will forget him in a blink of an eye. But once you get to know him, especially if he lives together all day long, rubs hands, and has the same basic necessities, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, you will naturally have a close understanding. As long as you don't have that kind of temper. Those who are particularly weird can slowly adapt to and accept them, and then develop feelings for them.
"How can I survive this trip if I don't even bring Ruixiang and Baoxiang with me?" Yun Shang was still a little reluctant to give up.
"My father is on a business trip this time, and he can be regarded as a small follower. Can he also take the servants and maids with him? I want to take you with me too, but even the Governor-General only brought the chief of staff with him. I am a follower of the army. How can a handyman show more pomp and circumstance than the Governor?" Feng Ziying was amused, "Besides, I was not alone in the academy before? After a few months of comfortable life, am I still unable to survive?"
Jin Chuan'er and Xiang Ling checked the clothes and other items they wanted to bring with them again to see if there was anything missing, while Yu Chuan'er was carefully arranging Feng Ziying's clothes.
“How long will it take for you to make this trip?” Jin Chuaner was also a little reluctant to leave.
These few months should be regarded as the most comfortable time in her life. Needless to say, the uncle has an excellent temperament. Yun Shang Xiangling is easy to get along with and doesn't have much scheming. Yu Chuan'er won't talk about it. Slowly Yes, I am familiar with the work in my hands, and have adapted to the uncle's living habits. He has even made continuous improvements. His wife and aunt have praised him several times, and the uncle is also very satisfied.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that I would be traveling far away.
“I estimate that if things go well, it may take half a year. If it goes slowly, it’s hard to say. I can’t tell for a year or two.” Feng Ziying also felt a little heavy in her heart.
During these two days of preparation, most of the news that came back was not satisfactory, but there was some good news.
That is to say, Yulin Town did make some preparations under Feng Tang's high vigilance, and it also played a role.
The rebels intended to control Sanshan Fort, but Yulin Town's deputy commander He Shixian, who was stationed on the West Road, led his troops in a beautiful counterattack and retreated. Both Sanshan Fort and Sanshan Pass were successfully controlled by Yulin Town. This was Yulin Town's entry into Ningxia. The key chokepoint of the town.
The Yulin Town army then set up an attack formation on the front lines of Xiangshigou Fort and Tianshui Fort, and directly launched their sharp edges at the Ningxia rear guard and the Pingluo hinterland junction in Guyuan Town, which had been captured by the rebels.
But the good news doesn't stop there. To the north, part of Tumote Suang Taiji's army is approaching the line between Xinxingbao and Yongjibao, suppressing Youshigong's troops from moving westward easily. After all, Feng Tang is only in Yulin. The first duty of the town commander is to defend his own territory, that is his duty.
You Shixian's troops could only feint a shot and put on such a posture. Before receiving instructions and assistance from the court, he had neither the courage nor motivation, nor the obligation to break into Ningxia Town to attack the rebels.
Now that the rebels are powerful, news comes back that Lingzhou was finally captured after seven days of hard fighting. The rebels bloodbathed Lingzhou, General Xie Wengui died in the battle, and Xingwu Camp was also controlled by the rebels.
In addition, we also received news that the Achitu tribe who had been wandering in the Hetao had made a comeback. With the support of Liu Dongyang, they occupied Songshan Fort and Huangyangchuan. Liu Dongyang's tribe even raided Zhenqiang Fort, putting Zhuang Langwei in danger.
Guyuan Town basically failed to organize an effective defense. Xiamaguan and Jingluwei were both captured by the rebels, and the garrison in Guyuan Town collapsed at the first touch.
The situation is worse than imagined, and there has been no news from Gansu Town in the past few days. Feng Ziying estimates that the rebels have blocked the channel from Gansu Town to the capital, so if the news from Gansu Town is to be sent back, We had to take a detour to deliver Tongbao from Lintao, Gongchang, and Hanzhong, which would be much slower.
Hearing Feng Ziying say that it would be at least half a year, maybe even one or two years, the girls were shocked, and the jade bracelet almost tore open the skirt of their clothes.
Yun Shang asked in panic: "Sir, why did it take so long? Didn't you say that a bunch of rebels were easily captured?"
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly.
Of course, the situation in the capital city cannot be panicked. The imperial court's announcement to the outside world was that the frontier soldiers in Ningxia Town mutinied on pay, and did not mention the rebellion at all. However, this could only be concealed for a short period of time. The real war continued to drag on, and within the imperial court, Those people can keep secrets and prevent rumors from flying all over the sky. When the time comes, even if you want to block the news, you won't dare. It may even frighten the people of the capital even more.
Fortunately, this is Ningxia Town. After all, it is still far away. Even if the people in the capital are uneasy, it will not have much impact. What worries Feng Ziying is not to let the Liaodong Jianzhou Jurchens also take advantage of the situation. Feng Ziying also specially reminded Chai Ke of this.
Seeing the women looking at her longingly, Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "I don't think it will take more than a year or two, but I'm afraid half a year will be about the same..."
"Is the master in danger?" Xiang Ling also asked, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
"That's not the case. It's just to follow the army to praise paintings and follow a few coaches. If even I are in danger, it will really be out of control." Feng Ziying didn't think she would be in any danger, not to mention the future. The main force in the rebellion was my father's Yulin Town. Just by following Chai Ke and Yang He, there was no way he would be put in danger.
In the past two days, when they learned that Feng Ziying was going on a business trip, both the Duan family and the Duan family took turns to inquire, fearing that something might happen. Fortunately, they felt a little relieved after learning that Feng Ziying was going to go on a business trip with the important officials of the imperial court.
"Master, this is the peace charm that Miss Lin asked for. Sister Zijuan sent it here yesterday." Yuchaoer hung it up for Feng Ziying, "This one was sent by Miss Lin this morning, and it was also requested by Dahuguo Temple." Peace Talisman,…”
Xiangling blinked her eyes, a little surprised, why did Miss Lin and Miss Three both send peace charms? What should I do if this girl sent me?
Seeing Xiang Ling hesitate to speak, Feng Ziying asked: "What's wrong?"
“Master, Miss Bao asked Ying’er to deliver this to you yesterday afternoon.” Ying’er took it out carefully.
The same peace charm.
Three peace charms, their appearance is not the same, but their intentions are the same.
Seeing the eyes of several girls looking over, Feng Ziying was also a little embarrassed and laughed, "It seems that some of the sisters are interested. Where are yours?"
The four girls took out their own peace charms, but their faces were a little shy and ruddy.
"Well, Jin Chuan'er, prepare a talisman bag for me, and take it one by one, so that peace and good luck will always be on me." Feng Ziying laughed, which made the girls feel good. I got up, diluting some of the parting emotions.
************
“Do you think Brother Feng has left?” Daiyu stood in front of the window and looked into the distance.
"It's time to go. My servant has asked Yu Chuan'er. They will leave the city early this morning. I'm afraid they will have been out of the city for dozens of miles by now." Zicuckoo carefully put the white fox fur on Daiyu's body. .
"I don't know how long it will take Brother Feng to leave? Will something happen?" Daiyu was in a low mood. Although the peace charm had been delivered, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know why.
The news coming from outside is also disturbing. They only say that the soldiers in Ningxia Town in the west were arguing for pay and turned into a mutiny.
It is said that soldiers who have no pay can make trouble, and they can be appeased as long as the court gives them money. But now the situation is a little different. There is a lot of noise in the capital city. According to the housekeepers in charge of purchasing in the government, even The prices of grain and cloth on the market have increased a lot.
I don’t know how the impact of the sergeant’s salary dispute in Ningxia Town, thousands of miles away, could be so great?
"Girl, don't think too much. We all know that Uncle Feng followed a group of marshals and was sent by the imperial court to comfort him. How can anything happen?" Zicuckoo held Daiyu's arm, "I guess there are only two or three You can come back in a month, right? I heard that a trip to the west will take a month, but if you ride a horse quickly, you can get there in about ten days."
Zicjuan actually knows what her girl is worried about.
There have been rumors since the beginning of the year that the government intends to marry the Feng family, but various rumors are confusing.
Today in the wife’s room, it was said that Miss Bao had made a sachet for Uncle Feng. Tomorrow, someone in the ancestor’s room said that Miss Yun might have proposed marriage. The day after, it was said that the three girls went to the temple to ask for a marriage sign and agreed. Marriage is coming, which makes people uneasy.
But no one said anything about her girl, which made the girl feel embarrassed all the time. Even Zicuckoo wanted to let Xueyan go and get some news.
Let the girl write a letter to the master in the south, but the girl feels embarrassed to say it, which is difficult.
The master and his wife in the house are afraid that they will not be able to come to the girl, and if the master in the south does not worry about it, he will see that the girl is already eating the food of a thirteen-year-old. If this delay continues, this may not be the case with the Feng family. You can just wait forever.
"Have you delivered the letter?" After a long time, the girl whispered.
"It's been delivered. Don't worry, girl. I specifically told Yuchuan'er that the letter will be handed over to him when he goes out, so that he can take it with him on the road." Zicuckoo pursed her lips and seemed to be a little more confident. The smile made Daiyu's face turn red immediately, "Damn girl, why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, I just think that the girl is too worried. In fact, it doesn't have to be like this. Just seeing that Uncle Feng cares so much about the girl's body and bones, and even specially sent this exercise method for the girl to keep practicing and keep her body healthy, the girl should understand what Uncle Feng means. That's right." Zijuan's eyes flashed with the light of knowing that heaven and earth know that you know and that I know.
