The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Three thousand five, hahahaha."

Shang Xi's face turned pale, "What a joke, thirty thousand becomes three thousand five?" Shang Xi was almost crying after hearing this, what use would this be, three thousand five are less than ten thousand, and there are more people in the West Courtyard of Lianxing, how can they fight a fart battle, this is the era of cold weapons, it depends on hand-to-hand combat, the more people there are, the greater the chance of winning.

Wan Lianxing said: "The emperor listened to slander and ignored the advice of loyal ministers. He has been comfortable for too long and has no idea of ​​being prepared for danger. The number of soldiers under Sha Guanghan has gone from 30,000 to 7,000, and then to 3,500. If this trend continues, the Southern Yan Kingdom will surely march straight in. If the opponent's troops are replenished, the battle can be fought all the way to Bianjing."

After hearing this, Shang Xi felt cold all over, "Are we dead?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Well, I'm not saying this to scare you. You guys should eat and drink as you should. No one will be able to attack us within three months."

"How did my uncle know?"

Wan Lianxing said, "The Southern Yan Kingdom sent people to spy on the military a few months ago. When Lao Sha had 30,000 men, the other side didn't dare to act rashly no matter how thin the troops were. But knowing that their forces had been reduced, they needed to repeatedly spy on the enemy. This time, with only 3,500 men left, they dared not act rashly. They were afraid it was a trap. Hahahaha, interesting, right?"

The more Shang Xi listened to Wan Lianxing's words, the paler her face became. She panicked and her mind was not clear. At this moment, she was at a loss and wanted to find a way to give birth. "How can this be interesting? There is no meaning at all. I am scared to death. What should I do? Where can I take my son to hide?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Bamboo forest, the bamboo forest you went to last time, I will send someone to go there in the next few days. If you are timid, I will send someone to take you there to stay."

"There is no news from there, and it's on the edge of Bian Jing. You are in Fengying and I am in the bamboo forest. I am scared." There is no perfect plan at this time, and neither leaving nor staying is in Shang Xi's mind.

"Then trust your uncle. Eat when you need to, drink when you need to. If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it. If the sky collapses, your uncle will hold it up first. What is there to be afraid of?"

Shang Xi was so anxious that he was spinning around: "I have to think of a way to escape. I can't just sit there and wait for death."

Wan Lianxing said: "Don't scare yourself. I'm training the troops here." Wan Lianxing shook his hair casually and prepared to go to the west courtyard to train these people personally.

Shang Xi looked at Wan Lianxing and said, "My uncle seems to be the least reliable. I have never seen you train."

After hearing this, Wan Lianxing glared angrily and said, "I won't practice anymore." Then he turned around and left.

Shang Xi shouted, "Uncle, don't stop practicing. It's better to have someone to lead you in practice. Don't these people have to protect us at critical moments?"

No matter what Shang Xi said, Wan Lianxing just walked forward without looking back.

Huang Chenming also turned around and prepared to leave with Wan Lianxing. Shang Xi said, "Huang Chenming, please persuade your uncle to come to the training. Don't let him miss the important event of the training."

Huang Chenming smiled and said, "I came back to train the troops these two days as ordered. The Marquis was just in a mood, and he wouldn't have trained for long if you hadn't told him."

Shang Xi looked at Cheng Feng: "Why don't you say a word?"

Cheng Feng said: "I was thinking, three months is enough time for us to prepare."

"Yes, yes, yes. I will dig a tunnel first and hide with my son when the time comes."

Cheng Feng smiled, "The preparation I'm talking about is not digging a tunnel."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Stock up on food. We're afraid of running out of food during a war."

"Don't tell me that the food in the granary won't last for a year or two."

Cheng Feng said, "If a war breaks out, it will take more than a year or two to end. I will go find Boss Qian and ask him to transport the grain collected in Nancheng."

"I'll go with you. I'll also learn about our food situation. You're right. Food is more precious at this time."

Just as the two were about to leave the house, Cheng Youning ran over with a lock in his hand, "Dad, Mom, where are you going?"

"Go to your aunt's house."

"I'll go as well."

"We adults have some important things to do. You can stay at home and play with the lock. Your mother and I will be back soon."

Cheng Youning said, "The people in the mansion are so strange today. Is there something wrong?"

Shang Xi asked: "What's wrong?"

"I haven't seen my master this morning. My grandfather is so busy that I can't find him. My grandmother looks worried and my mother is in a panic. What's going on? Did something happen?"

When Shang Xi heard this, he thought his son was too perceptive.

Cheng Feng picked up Cheng Youning and said, "It's okay. You should eat and play as usual. Don't worry about adults' affairs."

Cheng Youning tilted his head and said, "Then can I go to the paddy field and catch two ducks and roast them?"

Cheng Feng said, "Okay, go ahead."

Seeing that Shang Xi didn't say anything, Cheng Youning jumped out of Cheng Feng's arms, threw down the padlock and ran away with Qiao Rong. There were many ducks raised in the paddy field, but his mother didn't let him eat them, saying that they were kept for laying eggs. However, Shang Xi surprisingly didn't object today, and he couldn't miss this opportunity to eat roast duck in broad daylight.

Cheng Feng and Shang Xi did not delay and went straight to Qian's house. Boss Qian did not go out today, so Cheng Feng told him what happened when he got there. Boss Qian was also troubled when he heard it.

Cheng Feng said, "My uncle said that the war will not start within three months. Why don't you take my sister back to Nancheng? Nancheng is in the north of Bianjing. Even if the war reaches Bianjing, you will have a way to retreat."

Boss Qian said, "Aren't you and your family going to leave?"

Cheng Feng said: "If my uncle doesn't leave, then we won't leave either. My father and my uncle are of the same blood, and we will be together for life and death."

Boss Qian said, "Isn't Shang Xi afraid?"

Shang Xi said, "I'm afraid. I thought about it on the way here. I'll hurry up and make a tunnel. If a fight really breaks out, Cheng Youning and I can hide. This is not just a matter of the Southern Yan Kingdom. My uncle is smelting iron. If this matter is reported first, then the entire clan will be implicated. If we go north, we will be like a wolf walking into a tiger's mouth. So Cheng Feng is right. We can't leave. This disaster will come sooner or later."

Boss Qian said, "Shang Xi, please make a tunnel for me and your sister as well."

"Aren't you going to leave? Your last name is not Wan. The iron smelting incident won't affect your family. It's just right for you to leave now."

Boss Qian said, "Your sister is eight months pregnant. If something happens on the way, it will be too late to regret."

Shang Xi said: "Bring a midwife with you. I think it's more important to run away and save your life."

Boss Qian said, "Even if we bring a midwife, this is not a good idea. Have you heard the old saying? The baby in this belly is unlikely to survive. Although your sister is in good health, such a big belly can't withstand the bumps."
