Better to live forever [Rebirth]

"Sure enough, the old emperor is still determined, but he would never have thought of the real hiding place of Third Young Master Liang."

Knowing that the emperor sent secret guards to follow him all the way, Zhu Dingbei laughed.The emperor condescended to speak like a child, which made them fearful. They originally planned to let Gu Chaoan's "father and son" meet, but they gave up because they were afraid that the child would inadvertently reveal Gu Chaoan's whereabouts. The real world is so close .

Mrs. Gao and her party have already left Sizhou, but the anger of Lord Zhenbei has not subsided, Ning Heng had no choice but to change the topic and said: "The iron mine in Jianning County, Ningzhou has been reported to the Ministry of Industry, and it should be able to start operation in a month's time." Soil mining. Changsheng thinks, is there enough iron ore here?"

Zhu Dingbei nodded and said: "Even if it is reported again, the Ministry of Industry will only send people to explore and will not mine. Let's talk about the rest later. I am just curious about what the emperor found in that secret passage, and why he didn't take any action. , and instead evacuated all the hidden guards set up by the Marquis of Yuanning?"

Even if the emperor didn't find Zhen Feihe, he should have caught other people, or found other clues. There is no reason to take no further action.

But in fact, the emperor did not take any action recently, even the faction of the direct line of the Ning family has been too quiet recently.

Ning Heng thought about it for a second, and then brought up another piece of news. He said: "The concubine of the King of the Huns gave birth to a male heir half a month ago, but died before the full term. The King of the Huns attached great importance to this child. A coffin was specially set up for him, and he was sent to the Zheng family for burial."

"A pre-term child?"

This is strange.

Dajing people attach great importance to funeral rites and ancestral hall inheritance. Children will not be included in the genealogy until they are one year old.Those who die before the full term are considered even more ominous. Poor families will bury them anywhere, and rich families will only send their dead children to the pagodas specially set up by Buddhist temples for three years. Only when they accumulate enough merit for their next life will they choose a place to bury them and let them reincarnate.

It is really unreasonable for the King of the Huns to spend a lot of time on funerals for a child who is not yet full-term.Could it be that there is something special about this child that made the King of the Huns have to do this?

I can't figure out why, so I can only wait for Fufeng County to check.

Zhu Dingbei rubbed his forehead and said: "The emperor of the Zheng family has been investigating for a while, and I don't know if he has found anything. Ah Heng, do you think the Zheng family is the descendant of the direct line of the Ning family they said, or is it the same as the Lou family?" Same, just a house slave?"

Ning Heng pondered and said, "Maybe it's the gravekeeper."

"what is that?"

Ning Heng explained in a low voice: "The Ning family has had a tomb keeper for generations. It is not a fixed family member, but a person who was selected and trained by the last tomb keeper in the family before his death. This has been passed down from generation to generation. However, Normally, there is only one person to guard the grave of the Ning family... It is not impossible for Zhen Feihe's ancestors to let a family guard their grave."

Ning Heng was not sure about this matter, so he never brought it up.

There are special guardians in the royal tombs. These people are passed down from generation to generation. The son inherits the father's business and the grandson inherits the son's career. Otherwise, it would be a heinous crime.Fufeng County has been a treasure land of geomantic omen since ancient times. Looking at the Zheng family's respectful and pious attitude towards Xie Yonghe's tomb, and the fact that they were not used by Zhen Feihe for other places other than serving the ancestral tomb, we can know Ningheng's The guess is justified.

Zhu Dingbei said: "It doesn't matter if you are the tomb guard or not. Compared with the Xiongnu Zheng's family, they can only deliver some news at most, so there is nothing to be afraid of. By the way, Ah Heng, how was the arrangement last time?"

Ning Heng said: "Next year, the state shepherds of various states will return to Beijing to report on their duties. There is still half a year left, and I am already making arrangements. Don't worry, you will not miss your big event."

Zhu Dingbei laughed when he heard the words, "I don't worry about you doing things. If we can succeed in one fell swoop this time, we will be able to catch them by surprise, and we will be able to take care of that pile of mouse feces! Then Zhen Feihe will try to save them. Even if it doesn’t work, after May next year, even if we fight, we have a great chance of winning.”

Zhu Dingbei was determined to get rid of the people on the list provided by Lou Shangshu and the subordinates who he himself had confirmed to be the party members of the Ning family, so the preparations to be made naturally could not be taken lightly.Only by being fast enough and ruthless enough, without giving Zhen Feihe the slightest chance to fight back, can they really pull out their minions!For this reason, Zhu Dingbei has already sent several letters to ask his father and fifth uncle to train troops quickly, especially the new Xianbei army. They must go to the battlefield when they have to.

Things have come to this point, but it is rare for Ning Heng to be outstanding.He hesitated and said: "Changsheng, if we can last until May next year, let's talk to the emperor a few years ago, otherwise he can't find someone to fill the vacancy with so many people, our rear is unstable, and the soldiers in front will be too Hands tied."

"I know it well." Seeing that Ning Heng wanted to say more, Zhu Dingbei snorted and said, "I ask myself that I can still distinguish between public and private. Don't worry about what I will do to His Majesty, Lord Changxin."

Ning Heng couldn't help but said: "I'm too worried about Changsheng, I just want to tell you that Huiqing said that Xie Yonglin's Buddhist scriptures have almost been copied, and my people have also been sent. It should be a few days sooner than expected reached."

"Fantastic!"

Zhu Dingbei clasped his hands together and smiled, "I can't wait for that day to come."

He returned from hell, and waited for nearly ten years just for the day when he will take revenge with his own hands. No one can shake his determination, and no matter what the price is, it is not enough to stop him!

Xianbei Mansion, new barracks.

The winter is long, and the northern border is fierce and snowy. At this time, the commander Zhu Zhenliang suddenly issued a military order to forge the sword of the new army with the cold winter as the furnace. Instead of reducing the training, it continued to intensify. Mu has been cancelled.There were many complaints in the new army camp, but the military orders were like a mountain and could not be disobeyed. No matter how reluctant they were, they still had to discredit them and train hard.

Du Hui and others had doubts in their hearts, and he and Tian Yi discussed this matter in private.

"Although it is said that there will be a ten-county new army inspection in the spring of next year, but even if the opponent is Zhu's army, the coach doesn't have to be so tight, right?"

Tian Yi was really surprised by this abnormality.

The old saying that harvest in autumn and hide in winter is also true for military training, especially in the cold winter in the northern region, where the breath turns into frost, a little carelessness can cause soldiers to die from injuries or wind and cold.What's more, the soldiers have been trained enough for this year, so they should recharge their batteries.

Du Hui said: "The coach's move doesn't look like a sudden whim, but a foresight. You see, most of the training of the new army today is aimed at the actual combat of fighting the enemy, rather than the previous formation drills. Is it because What kind of news did the commander get in advance... Will the Xiongnu or the Qiang people want to tear up the peace agreement?"

There are still a few years before the truce period in the peace agreement, and the indemnities paid by the Qiang and Huns have not yet been fully recovered.More importantly, the Qiang royal family suffered heavy losses in the last war, and the Huns were not without losses. It has only been less than two years now, and the resumption of war is more unfavorable to them than to Dajing.After all, Dajing had strong financial resources and a large population, so the last thing he was afraid of was replenishment of troops.At this point, both the Qiang and the Huns are at a disadvantage.

Tian Yidao: "The coach is not a person who spoils the seedlings and encourages them to grow. Naturally, he has his intentions to intensify the training. We just need to obey orders."

Du Hui laughed and said: "It's just that this season is really not a good time to train troops. The cold-dispelling herbs that our camp supplies every day are worth a hundred taels of silver. To waste tens of thousands of taels of silver, Your Majesty was able to overwhelm the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to approve this batch of military funds, have you ever thought about the reason? If it wasn't for the imminent war, Your Majesty would not be ruined."

Tian Yi is not afraid of fighting, but such urgent training also makes him feel uneasy, "Could it be that the Xiongnu or the Qiang have hidden some cards? They didn't do their best in the last battle?"

"It's possible. If the situation is really so serious, the more stringent requirements you have for these recruits now, the more chances you will survive. Wuzhan, don't be soft-hearted. This time, you must be ruthless to grind out this gun, so that No matter what we face in the future, we can have a better chance of winning.”

"I see."

After the two made an agreement, the recruits of the first and second divisions realized that they were faced with even more brutal training when they woke up after a nap. The general was too ruthless. Leave it to them!Seeing this, the other new army commanders in the main county couldn't help but feel competitive. They practiced hard against the new army, one by one, fearing that their soldiers would fall behind.

In such a situation, the happiest thing is the coach.

"Tian Wuzhan, Du Baichuan, well, you are indeed the soldiers that the fifth brother often praises, and they are really transparent!"

He was very happy, and he couldn't help mentioning in his home letter that the old Hou Ye had already appreciated Tian Yi very much, so he was very satisfied with this junior.

Zhu Zhenliang took the opportunity to give a big reward, and when the news spread to the other nine counties, the generals began to think about it, and responded to the commander's call and the direction of the new military camp in the main county, and stepped up training at home.Under such circumstances, even the brothers from the Lou family who were in the Zhu family's military equipment battalion guessed some deep meaning.

Compared with the new barracks, the training of the Zhu family's army will only be more rigorous, and the morale is unprecedentedly high.

Lou Ankang stuffed his younger brother who had a runny nose from the cold after returning from the outside into the quilt, poured him a bowl of hot ginger tea, and then scolded him loudly.

Lou Anning rubbed his somewhat stiff hands, and asked his elder brother in a low voice: "Are you... going to fight?"

Lou Ankang was stunned for a moment before saying: "Even if the head coach trains with the generals every day, we can't slack off."

What he was worried about was that the Qiang and Huns would surely get the news of such blatant training. Would they also take this as a signal to start a war?
