Patriarch Situ pondered for a while and said: "Then what if... the imperial court recruits Marquis Ning back?"

Qi Taizhong shook his head and said: "In any case, let's let this matter go. It was a fluke, but now it seems that the imperial court still has no credibility at all in the way of gold and silver, and it cannot be contaminated. Ninghou will understand what we are waiting for. Difficult. Unless it starts a new stove, otherwise, this matter will not be discussed again."

……

In the sixth year of Long'an, the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

early morning.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion was already full of people.

Even Daiyu came from the Lin residence to send Jia Qiang off to the expedition.

Jiamu, Aunt Xue, Youshi, Li Wan, Fengjieer, Keqing, Baochai, Xiangyun, Sanchun, Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, plus their respective maids, and the maidservants of Dongfu, the hall is full of jewels and emeralds.

The men include Jia Zheng, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Jia Zhu and Jia Cong.

Baoyu looked at the girls in full bloom like a hundred flowers, fascinated.

Thinking about it again, most of these girls are close friends with Jia Qiang. At this moment, all of them only have Jia Qiang in their eyes, and their hearts are like a knife.

Jia Qiang was still dressed in normal clothes, with an orangutan felt cloak over it, no different from the past.

He glanced at everyone one by one, and said with a smile: "Xuanfu is less than four hundred miles away from the capital, and he will be there in a day. If I catch pheasants and snow rabbits there, I will send them back. If there is color Such a beautiful pony, so people can send it back."

Originally, the women were full of tears and worried, but after hearing what he said lightly, they all laughed again.

Sister Feng laughed loudly and said, "Qiang'er, it doesn't matter if you send some little pheasants, little wild horses, etc., but don't bring back a tartar princess!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "You can talk, which is a good omen. Could it be that the magpie was born?"

Sister Feng glanced over Li Wan's radiant, white and rosy pretty face, laughed, and said, "I can't, unlike sister-in-law who has studied, she can speak nicely!"

After another burst of laughter from the crowd, Sister Feng walked up to Li Wan's side and said with a small smile, "Sister-in-law, Lan'er is really getting more and more sensible. She just met me and asked me if I was more stable. You stayed with me last night." It's great to accompany you!"

Li Wan's pretty face blushed immediately, and she wanted to explain something, but Sister Feng had already walked away and started talking in front of Jia Qiang and Daiyu.

In fact, it was just a reminder over and over again. I have said it many times during dinner last night, but how can I say enough?

Jia Qiang patiently nodded her head countless times, letting them have a good time...

Until someone came from the front to spread the word that the ten founding ministers of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, the Li Guo Gong Mansion, and the Prince Teng of the Wang family came to see him off.

At the time when Jia Qiang was scolded by everyone in the court and shouted to be beaten and killed, Wang Ziteng did not come out to make trouble, but he never spoke out for Jia Qiang, and brought back the two sons Wang An and Wang Yun...

Although Wang An and Wang Yun were released after the incident, Wang Ziteng never showed up.

I don't want to show up today...

Finally, after thousands of exhortations, the female relatives still knew that it was time to part.

It was Xichun who started to cry first, and this crying brought tears to the eyes of everyone in the room...

Jia Qiang couldn't stand this, she smiled and bowed to the whole room, fixed her eyes with Daiyu's tearful eyes, and finally turned around and strode away.

……

The front hall of the Ning Mansion.

Seeing Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hu Shen, etc. standing to greet each other, and Wang Ziteng standing alone, Jia Qiang showed no signs of disbelief, she cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Why do you need to mobilize people so much?"

Niu Jizong sighed: "Last time, Marquis Ning advised me not to go to Jiubian. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Marquis Ning had to go. Not to mention gossip, there are still a few people in the family who have been on the battlefield. Veteran, there is not much you can do, if Marquis Ning doesn't dislike him, just accept his order."

Liu Fang smiled and said: "This is just a little heart. There are six or seven in our house. I can't guarantee how big they can be, but they must be loyal!"

Others also donated generously, bringing together 50 people.

Finally, the prince raised his face and cupped his hands and said, "Ninghou, I have no face to see each other, but Wang An and Wang Yun have not eaten or drank for three days. I can neither disobey my father nor be ashamed of Ninghou. The grace of cultivation, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, and they can only be killed. I asked, these two children voluntarily joined the Jia family as soldiers, and lived and died according to their orders. Marquis Ning, although the Wang family is ineffective, I beg you to take pity on these two fools .”

Hearing this, and seeing Wang Ziteng's face full of shame, turning his head to face each other facelessly, everyone was very moved.

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. I am very optimistic about Wang An and Wang Yun. They will become great weapons in the future. Let them come."

Wang Ziteng's face became more and more ashamed when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands and said: "It's just outside the door! Ninghou, the life and death of these two sons will depend on you in the future, and the Wang family will never ask."

After all, he left without looking back.

Niu Jizong looked at his back, sighed and said: "If this person is not burdened by the family, he is also a character of one party. It's a pity."

After all, he said to Jia Qiang: "Ning Hou, this farewell, but I don't know when we will see you again. I'm waiting for the letter to be released, and it should come down soon. If Ning Hou leaves Beijing before his triumphant return, and sees you again, I'm afraid it will be difficult. A few years later, I will always remember Ninghou's matters concerning coastal defense and the navy, and do my best! From then on, Ninghou will be alone among the heroes of Yuanping, so he must take care of himself!"

"Ninghou, take care!!"

After Niu Jizong finished speaking, Liu Fang, Qi Jianhui, Hu Shen, Fei Shi, Jiang Ruhai, Xiong Long, Chang Da, Yu Rong and other eight people also clasped their fists together and bid farewell.

Jia Qiang nodded, bowed and returned the salute, then the personal guards got on their horses and rode off to the firearms camp outside the city.

At this time, he, Niu Jizong and others did not know that after Wang Ziteng returned home, he wrote to the court, asking to resign from the post of commander of Fengtai Daying, and recommending Niu Jizong, the second-class uncle of the Duke of Zhenguo, to take over.

Emperor Long'an transferred the book to Zhao Guogong's mansion, and Jiang Duo, who was in a coma every day, barely wrote the word "ke" when he was awake.

After all, the important place of Gyeonggi needs different forces to defend it.

And Jia Qiang gathered Dong Chuan, the son of Marquis of Xuande, in Firearms City, and after Zhao Po, the leader of the Suzaku camp, led a group of thousands of people to the direction of Xuanfu...

……

PS: I'm sorry, I slept too late and got confused, and the automatic release failed, only to find out...

Chapter 8 and Chapter [-]: Something Happened to the Ship...

"How long has Brother Qiang been away?"

On New Year's Eve, in the big flower hall, Baoyu asked suddenly.

When he asked, everyone looked weird at first, and then Xiangyun smiled "puchi", and everyone roared with laughter.

No one thought that Baoyu would be the first to mention Jia Qiang.

Today's reunion night, I don't know why, the show is not beautiful, and the sumptuous dinner is not sweet.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Baoyu, don't let Qiang'er beat me, have you had a good time this year?"

Jia Mu spat: "The devil incarnate is not here, but you are bullying Baoyu again."

Sister Feng called Tian Qu and said, "Why did I mention it? It's clear that Brother Bao misses you so much!"
