Who still remembers the soldiers who fought?

fully, even Old Mrs. Li went to the outhouse to watch the commotion.Jiayin nimbly dashed into the space, then leaped and chirped excitedly at the apple sapling that had grown another half foot taller...As Jia Yin walked her to the door, she hesitantly asked, "Jia Yin, that... your master is very skilled at seeing patients. Could you… could you ask him to take a look at Brother Lu"

Jia Yin was taken aback for a moment before replying, "Of course! Brother Lu is a good friend of my older brother, and now he's going to be your future husband. From any angle, our family should help."

But Princess, Elder Lu is a very decisive person and his wounds are quite serious. Wouldn't he want an outsider to treat him

I think you should still ask clearly if he really needs it, and have someone else say it. Otherwise, you might do more harm than good, and it could also affect your relationship.

"Of course," the third princess was overjoyed and replied eagerly, "I'll go see Brother Lu right away and ask him carefully.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for inviting me out to play. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to leave the palace! Even my father and elder brother wouldn't allow me to come out!"

After chatting for a while, the third princess skipped away happily.

Suiling looked at the departing carriage and asked, "Miss, should I go greet Dr. Zhang"

"No need," Jia Yin shook her head and replied, "Prince Lu will convince Princess San. He won't call for Dr. Zhang to see her."

After saying that, she went back to the backyard.

Xu Xi and Mei Lan, who rarely got together, finally said goodbye reluctantly at dusk.

Jia Yin brought them a lot of snacks and fruits, even Mei Lan's two half-sisters each received their own portion.

Two little girls were unexpectedly and excitedly grateful, repeatedly thanking each other.

You have to know, they went back with the eldest sister, only bringing one thing. That thing was absolutely meant to stay in the main courtyard and not a single bit could be taken away.

But with one for each person, the mistress would worry about Mei's reputation. If word got to the princess' ears, she would surely be ridiculed. The mistress would definitely allow them to keep their belongings.

Thus, their aunts and siblings could all taste these rare fruits and snacks together...

Jia Yin sent off all the young ladies and returned to her ancestral home.

Because Zheng He had sent word ahead of time, the kitchen was busy with the sizzle and pop of cooking.

Li Lao'er and Mr. Wen brought Mu Xu down from the carriage. After washing up, they started eating.

Jia Yin greeted her sister-in-law and then joined the elders in the study to eat and chat.

The Six Ministries were busy as bees preparing for the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony and the selection of a consort.

Even Li La Er, such a idle person, and Mr. Wen, such a “court mouthpiece,” were not spared.

But both of them were just helping to count and settle accounts, they weren't in charge. They just had to put in the effort, no need to use their brains.

Jia Yin poured wine for the elder and, after a moment's thought, poured a glass of juice for Mu Xu.

Mu Xu smiled brightly, causing Jia Yin to blush slightly and give him a discreet glare.

Li La Er saw this and smiled along, saying, "Let's change some drinks for Xu Ge Er too. These days he's been running around outside, it must be tiring. There's nothing going on tonight, let's have a few drinks to relieve the boredom."

Mr. Wen also nodded, "Indeed, thanks to the Marquis leaving behind Young Master Xu, communication with all places is much faster and smoother."

Words could not express the sentiment, so he took another cup and poured wine for Mu Xu, a whole pot.

Li Lao'er raised his cup, and clinked it with Wen Xian and Mu Xu. He drank in one gulp, then let out a sigh.

"I don't know what it's like in Jiangbei anymore. People always say everything is peaceful and safe there. But he's so far from home, fighting barbarians… how could everything be alright"

"Wait a while longer, let's see what the Marquis decides. The grain our family has prepared has already been secretly transported to Jiangbei for half. Even if the third batch of military rations from the court is delayed, we can replenish the Northern Expeditionary Army in time. We can't let the soldiers fight on an empty stomach!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Wen's face also turned sour.

But with the current situation at court, everyone is focused on the Crown Prince and the selection of a concubine. They all want to take advantage of this period of political upheaval and get as much power as possible.

How many people still remember the soldiers who fought outside

Jia Yin's eyes were also dimmed, she forced a smile and served dishes to everyone, persuading them, "Father-in-law must have plans in mind, just do your best with everything, look at strategy but also at fate."

Li Lao'er came to his senses, his heart aching for his niece who was only in her teens and already going through so much. He quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, we do our best and leave the rest to fate. Forget about it, let's talk about tomorrow later. Tonight, we need to eat and drink our fill."

Everyone burst into laughter, sharing the latest news from the city. The dinner table became lively again...

At this moment, in the large camp of the Zhenbei Army in Jiangbei, it was also time for dinner.

The soldiers took off their armor and unbuttoned their shirts, huddled together laughing and eating from a large earthenware bowl passed around.

A bonfire burning in the distance illuminated their faces, making them shine with joy.

While the main hall was filled with generals who had already finished their meal and were huddled together, frowning over an official document.

There was a hot-tempered deputy general who couldn't contain himself and shouted, "What does this mean from the Ministry of War I've worked my butt off, risking my life, just to get here!"

"We were just one push away from driving the barbarians back to their borders. To have us stand down and wait for a better opportunity to fight...what are they thinking"

"You see, it's over a thousand miles to the new capital! We thought the timing was right and sent someone to ask for instructions. By the time we got there, the opportunity had passed. The new capital thought the timing was perfect, but by the time the order reached us, it was too late!"

Another general was also extremely agitated, smashing his fist into his leg and grumbling, "This battle is truly humiliating! Back when we used to campaign, the court never interfered with us like this!"

Beside him, a martial artist with a scholarly air stopped his companion from continuing.

Over the past month, the court's control over the Northern Expeditionary Army has become increasingly tight.

In the past, during campaigns, the Marquis made all the decisions from beginning to end. At most, official correspondence would be exchanged only when supplies of grain and weaponry needed replenishing.

But now, in just these past few days, I have received two official letters.

This is like a strongman fighting someone, and there are always people around giving random instructions.

To the point that even a strong man would be helpless and definitely at a disadvantage if he had to move slowly!

But fighting is not beneficial; at most, you'll just get a few punches and kicks.

But they were going to war, a single decision that would affect the lives and deaths of ten thousand people!

A sudden silence fell upon the tent, all eyes turned to the lord seated at the head.

The Marquis was looking at the map. Now the Northern Expeditionary Army had pushed to 700 miles north of the former capital.

In another three hundred miles, we can completely drive the barbarians out of the border.

When the time comes to repair the border defenses, we must strictly guard them. Give it three or five years, and then Tianwu will achieve a complete victory.

With the Man tribe no longer capable of mounting large-scale attacks on the pass, Tianwu finally rose to prominence.

But at this point, if you follow the imperial command and stop here, this year's northern campaign is likely to end in failure.

By next year when we regroup and plan for a decisive battle, who knows what unforeseen circumstances may arise Even the consumption of provisions and weaponry is a burden the imperial court can barely afford.

Seeing that this year is a drought, military rations are a major problem at the very least.

All aspects combined, a united front to fight to the very border in a decisive battle, is the best choice...

Just at that moment, Li Lao Si walked in from outside and reported, "My Lord, there is an urgent matter that requires your decision."

The Marquis nodded in understanding and, along with the others, walked out.

Two people entered the small tent beside them. Li Laosi immediately took out a copper tube, "My lord, there's news from home."

The lord quickly opened it. Li Lao Si couldn't help himself and rushed over to take a peek, and as a result, he gasped in surprise.

“This… how is this possible!”

Two updates today ~~rd princess is willing to come out, I'll let you know." 。" Okay!" Baozhu nodded eagerly, lowering her voice even further and whispering, "On the day of our wedding, I noticed that Lu Shizi's face w...
