Chapter 381: Set off
Chapter 381 Expedition
This rebellious son became half-dead and never mentioned. A few days ago, he occasionally got out of the tortoise shell and went out to ask him what he was doing. He actually said lightly that he had gone out to choose a graveyard!
He could bear not fulfilling the other party’s wish to live in a treasured geomancy place as soon as possible. This father could no longer be merciful!
"My son will not go anymore, but you are going to be on the battlefield. If you say this, isn't it the heart of your son..." Xu Yun panicked in his heart.
He chose a burial site for himself. What's wrong with him when he wants to choose a burial site that suits his heart? After all, I have to live for many years. And even if he really touches the mold, he will touch it for himself-anyway, he has always tried to be unlucky in everything.
How could he get here to his father, he is about to become the chief culprit for bringing bad luck to the family?
The town’s grand prince snorted coldly, and started to rush people: "Okay, all go back, Zhaozhao stay."
Everyone should "yes" and stood up one after another.
Xu Mingshi hesitated for a moment, and then followed suit.
Grandfather left Xu Mingyi to speak alone. He thought it was important. If he knew, Xu Mingyi would not hide it from him afterwards. On that day, she agreed to him.
"Bring Qin Wuyunliu to see me." Zhen Guogong told Uncle Yun.
stood up from the chair and said to the granddaughter: "Come with grandfather—"
Xu Mingyi responded and followed the old man into the unmanned cubicle.
Qin Wu and Yun Liu arrived soon.
Obviously, the two of them have also heard the news of the decree, and their expressions at this time are very solemn and excited before they are on the battlefield.
"Qin Wu will follow me when I attack Lizu this time."
Zhen Guogong looked at the two capable confidants and confessed: "Yun Liu stays in Beijing and is sent by the girl."
Yun Liu's expression changed: "General——"
Every time the general fights, he will take him with him. Why do you want him to stay this time?
It was not that he was unwilling, and it was supposed that the general confessed that he should obey unconditionally, but Qin Wu's elm bumps had never known how to act with the general's look. What should I do if he drags the general's back legs?
If there must be someone to stay--
"It's better to let Qin Wu stay and his subordinates accompany the general on the expedition!"
Qin Wu's eyes widened when he heard it, and he felt that the knife was inserted a bit suddenly.
Guo Duke Zhen looked over to Yun Liu and said, "The old man made such an arrangement, naturally, it will not be unreasonable. You know more flexibility than Qin Wu, and this time Beijing may not be more stable than on the battlefield."
Furthermore, Yun Liu can be more useful than Qin Wu——
Yun Liu was silent for a while.
General really seemed to make a lot of sense.
But don’t know why, he always felt that the real reason the general chose him was that he could pretend to be a man and a girl.
Although I don’t want to admit that this is also an advantage, if a girl needs it, no one is more suitable than him.
"Yes, the subordinates obey the orders." Yun Liu agreed with his orders.
Zhen Guogong looked at his granddaughter who had been sitting there and had not spoken.
In fact, he was in the outer hall just now, and Xu Mingyi almost never said a word.
She fell into an emotion that was extremely uncontrollable and she knew she shouldn’t.
At this time, seeing her grandfather looking towards him, the girl blurted out: "Grandfather, I want to accompany you to attack the Lizu, you take me—"
From learning that her grandfather is going to expedition three days later, to the delivery of the imperial decree, to listening to her grandfather's account of the family, her emotions have been tense.
The experience of life and death separated from the same family in the previous life surfaced in her mind, which made her uncontrollable fear. When the second uncle said that, she even thought that she had accidentally said what was in her heart.
But at this time she still said it.
It's like when I was a kid, I knew I couldn't stop my grandfather from going out, so I begged him to bring himself.
Saying that, she actually went back more and more alive.
Seeing the girl holding back her emotions, Zhen Guo Gong's heart softened, he sighed lightly, and said kindly, "Zhao Zhao, you have to stay and take care of Zhen Guo Gong's house for grandfather-this is more important. Grandfather can't rest assured that the matter is left in the hands of others."
Hearing such a tone, the girl who was suddenly pulled back to the reality and the overall situation suddenly got hot in her eyes.
The fingers that had been tightly clenched also slowly loosened.
Of course she knew she should stay.
also knew that she shouldn’t have said such childish words at all. Such irrational her would probably only make her grandfather more concerned about family affairs.
Thinking of this, the girl put her tears back, trying her best to make her tone sound strong and credible: "Grandfather, rest assured, I can take care of everything at home."
is not a certain meeting, but a certain energy——
Guogong Zhen nodded in relief, and looked at the girl who was sitting there with a straight body and red eyes, but her face was firm and solemn. He only felt that her eyes suddenly became a little sore.
"The granddaughter also has something to say, I want to tell my grandfather."
Hearing this, Zhen Guogong waved his hands to the two subordinates.
Qin Wu and Yun Liu bowed.
"Grandfather should take care of himself when he is away, and he needs to be cautious everywhere. Especially in this battle against the Li family, you must be more careful—"
Zhen Guogong looked at his granddaughter who seemed to be pointing a little bit suspiciously.
"The grandfather needs to beware, don't let people have the opportunity to slander grandfather with the crime of collaborating with the enemy." Xu Mingyi said in a determined voice.
In the last life, the Xu family was accused of such a crime.
Although the situation at that time was completely different from what it is now, who can tell whether the Emperor Dog will have the same thoughts again—especially the Emperor Zhanyunzhu now beside him.
In the previous life, the so-called evidence of collaborating with the enemy was secretly placed in their mansion through the hands of Zhan Yunzhu.
The town’s grandpa was a little surprised by his granddaughter’s sharpness and meticulousness, but he nodded and said, "We should take precautions."
After all, he was "self-recommended" for leading the soldiers this time. Maybe the emperor would really use this to cause something.
Xu Mingyi exhorted many, big and small, some not, but she said everything she could think of.
As a person in these two lives, she has never said so many things once.
The Zhen Guogong couldn’t help laughing at the end.
said Zhaozhao was afraid of nagging, but now that she is nagging, she is not bad at all.
"Good boy, don't worry too much." The town official said relievedly.
Xu Mingyi can't do not worry at all.
How could she not worry?
She even wanted to say to her grandfather that she should try her best to sit in the barracks and not go to the battle between the two armies. But the words came to her lips and touched her grandfather’s eyes, but she couldn’t say it.
Grandfather is the general of Xu Jiajun, the general Xu respected by the soldiers, and General Xu has his own beliefs and responsibilities on his shoulders.
Every soldier is flesh and blood, and every soldier also has a family. If everyone is greedy for life and fear of death, who will charge and fight-this is what grandfather said to her, she has always remembered it.
"Grandfather told you not to worry, it's not without reason." Zhen Guogong said: "You should be on guard, grandfather will be on your guard. But as far as the battle is concerned, it can't be said to be very dangerous—maybe those of the Lis listened to it. When the old man came with his troops, he was shocked and asked for peace without a fight!"
Listening to the old man’s pretentious tone of complacency, Xu Mingyi couldn’t help but smile: “Yes, maybe it’s true.”
Seeing the granddaughter finally smiled, the old man's eyes smiled more real, and then said: "Grandfather asked you to stay alone, but in fact there are two things to give you."
Xu Mingyi looked at the old man.
"Come on--" Zhen Guogong beckoned to his granddaughter.
Xu Mingyi then got up and walked over.
Zhen Guogong took out an object from his arms and handed it to his granddaughter.
Xu Mingyi took a closer look, and couldn't help being surprised: "Grandfather, this is..."
Bronze tiger charms are engraved with a pattern of words, and the neck of this majestic green tiger is tied with a red rope tied with a peace knot.
This safety knot is crooked and crooked, and the craftsmanship is not bad.
And this poorly crafted peace knot seemed to be beaten by her grandfather when she was a teenager. After that, her grandfather has been tied to Xu Jiajun's talisman.
The red string was worn to a dark brown color, just like the traces of time left on the tiger charm that has witnessed how many wars.
I don’t know in the previous life. When this soldier talisman was handed over to the emperor by his grandfather, did his grandfather untie the red rope?
She thought, grandfather must have solved it.
"This is our Xujiajun soldier's talisman. You take it. This time, my grandfather led 50,000 horses, and there are still 70,000 battalions outside of Beijing. There is only one complete soldier's talisman for our Xu Jiajun. If something unexpected happens, you can Ask Yun Liu to mobilize troops and horses for you at any time."
Although even if the emperor wants to do something, he must be directed at him, but the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, just in case.
Xu Mingyi was a little dazed for a while and said: "Then grandfather, don't you have a soldier talisman..."
The old man smiled: "Silly boy, what kind of soldier talisman does grandfather need."
Xu Mingyi also reacted.
Yes, where does my grandfather need a weapon?
Grandfather is the soldier talisman.
A better soldier charm than this cold bronze tiger charm.
So, this is the reason why the emperor was still deeply jealous even though the grandfather handed over the military power.
"I left some things to your father. If anything really happens, your father and daughter will discuss and make a decision." Zhen Guogong said with a smile: "Your father has nothing to do with him, but when it comes to the ability to save his life, it is still It's okay—wrap eggs!"
Xu Mingyi also laughed, not forgetting to rectify his father's name: "Father's name is Da Zhi Ruo Yu."
Guo Duke Zhen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Your mother said the same before her death."
Xu Mingyi made a soft "ah" unexpectedly.
In that way, her mother liked her father’s vision, but she still had a lot of depth. It’s not like everyone said, she was fooled by her father’s face alone.
So, in terms of choosing the husband-in-law's vision, she is still very similar to the mother-in-law.
"By the way, didn't my grandfather say that there are two things to give to me? I don't know what the other is?"
"Almost forgot."
Zhen Guogong put aside the tea cup.
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but feel that the things that can be forgotten by forgetting are probably not important.
"I didn't take it with me either." The Lord Zhen Guo said, calling Yun Bo to come in, and instructed: "Let someone go to my study, and take the small brocade box in the third grid from the bottom right of the bookshelf."
Placed so casually, Xu Mingyi felt that it was irrelevant the more he listened.
The thing was quickly taken over, it was a brocade box the size of a palm.
Xu Mingyi opened it and saw that it was a sardonyx bead with black and brown stripes on it. The bead was long and had holes, which looked like a piece taken from a bracelet.
"After King Yan enters Beijing, if you see him, you will quietly give this thing to him." Zhen Guogong said casually, "But it is not an important thing. Give it when you have a chance. It doesn't hurt if you don't have a chance. ."
"Why did the grandfather give such a bead to His Royal Highness?" Xu Mingyi was a little curious.
Even if it doesn’t matter, there should be a reason for wanting to come.
"It's an old thing." Zhen Guogong recalled: "At that time, King Yan was still young, eleven or twelve years old. I wore a bracelet with me. He chased me to ask for it, and I went with him. Say, for every victory he wins in the future, I will give him a bead—"
This was a casual remark, and he forgot it later, but the kid really remembered it when he took it seriously. After leading the soldiers alone in the first victory, the first thing he did was to ask him for beads.
"This bracelet was originally worn by myself when I was idle in the barracks. The beads are also different in size, long and round, there are a total of eighteen large and small."
Zhen Guogong looked at the one in the brocade box in his granddaughter’s hands, and said, “This is the last one. It should have been given to him 18 years ago when he returned to Beijing after a victory—”
But there were many changes that year, and he didn't give out this bead either.
"Perhaps he won't be able to use it anymore, but in the past few years, I have always dreamed about it inexplicably.
After hearing this, Xu Mingyi nodded: "Granddaughter knows."
Glancing at the bead one last time, she closed the brocade box and put it in her sleeve.
Then, deliberately asked: "The granddaughter dares to ask grandfather, if there is a need to establish a new master, is grandfather willing to follow His Royal Highness?"
"King Yan?" Zhen Guogong shook his head slightly: "His temperament is not necessarily counterproductive."
Xu Mingyi was silent for a while.
But the last life, King Yan has indeed reversed.
"My grandfather had no other thoughts other than surrendering the military power before. It can be seen that even the most loyal people will have a day when they are pressed for the people and things they care about."
She didn’t know what was the reason for the rebellion of King Yan in the previous life, whether it was the power of the throne, or something else, but the facts were there, and it did happen.
She has been thinking about it in recent days.
Want to survive in troubled times, sometimes the choice is more important than the so-called strength.
"The current situation is not yet clear, and there is no way to guess what the King Yan and the various forces are thinking." Zhenguo said: "After I come back from the east this time, it is not too late to consider the current situation."
The timing is not yet ripe, and in the current situation, everything is empty talk.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
She said this at this time, and it was not to let her grandfather make a decision. For such a big matter, she herself did not have a clear idea. She chose to say it only so that her grandfather could think about it earlier.
The ancestors and grandson talked for a long time, until the moonlight dyed the Xuan window.
……
In a blink of an eye, three days later, it was the day of the Zheng Guo Gong’s expedition.
Today is two more in one Thank you for your monthly pass, thank you.
