Better to live forever [Rebirth]

According to the usual practice, the heavy responsibility of escorting the immigrants should be undertaken by the troops stationed in the state of the immigrants.

It is precisely because of their duty that even if there is huge damage on the road, as long as the sergeant is not harsh, the emperor will at most punish the general for the crime of unfavorable escort, and the people of the world will not blame the escort army itself too much, and the spearhead will be pointed at The officials in charge and the court.

But if this task is forced on Zhu Jiajun, then if something goes wrong, Zhu Jiajun will never be able to please Zhu Jiajun.

Emperor Zhenyuan attached so much importance to the proposals submitted by the state shepherds of Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and called the old Hou Ye into the military aircraft office for discussion, his attitude was already very obvious.Presumably, he had already made a decision in his heart. The so-called discussion was just to notify the old Hou Ye in advance to give Zhu Jiajun a time to prepare.

After Zhu Dingbei heard this, he was as angry as the old Hou Ye, but getting emotional could not solve the problem. The most urgent thing at the moment was to come up with countermeasures so that the situation would not be too bad and passive.

"We can't sit still. Grandpa, you immediately send the war eagle to deliver a letter to Father—"

"I wrote a letter when I came back yesterday. I only hope that Zhenliang and Chao'an can come up with a countermeasure before His Majesty makes a decision. At worst, I will pretend to be sick and delay for a few days."

Zhu Dingbei shook his head, "This is the worst policy. His Majesty wants the Zhu family army to share his worries, not to oppose his decision based on his own ideas. You can write another letter to Dad, and ask him to send eight hundred miles to expedite it." The official letter returned to Beijing, saying that this year Xianbei winter came earlier than before, and asked the imperial court to send more cotton-padded clothes and other expenses, and send a team of imperial doctors to Xianbei to prevent the migrants from freezing to death due to the severe cold.”

Zhu Dingbei is a quick-witted person, the more urgent the situation is, the faster his brain turns, and he can often hit the point.

This ability has allowed him to avoid danger many times on the battlefield in the past, and it is the same today.

The old Hou Ye exclaimed, "You mean... that's right! If the northern border enters winter early, the immigrant people must not be delayed, and the court cannot afford the time for our Zhu's army to go south. Besides, if Xianbei doesn't have warm clothes and enough The food supply is bound to be uneven, and His Majesty will naturally not abandon the basics and send our Zhu family army to the south to escort the migrants."

As he said that, he also thought of an idea: "It's better to let your father create some chaos in Xianbei to quell the chaos. In this way, who else would dare to send our army at will!"

Zhu Dingbei laughed, "Grandpa, you forgot that Mr. Chen Ge and Prime Minister Zhen You are still in Xianbei Mansion. Besides, Xianbei cannot be chaotic at this time, and the situation must be stabilized, otherwise none of His Majesty's decrees will be implemented. If it is true If there is chaos, the emigration will be postponed until the end of next spring, so His Majesty will be the first to punish Father, and we will definitely have to go south."

"My good grandson is right, I am impatient."

The old Hou Ye sighed. He has always been a loyal and straightforward person. Although he was not angry with Emperor Zhenyuan's decision before, he never thought of using such a method to refute the holy order.

I was just too angry just now, so I came up with such a bad move.

He got up immediately, and sent the letter with the order Zhu San picked the fastest war eagle.

Seeing Zhu San leave, the old Hou Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, this mess has been pushed away. These bastards have never thought of me, Zhu Jiajun, for their good deeds. Are you bullying us to be honest? Hateful!"

Zhu Dingbei poured cold water on him: "Even if there is such a countermeasure, we can't completely dismiss this errand."

As he spoke, he began to think about what to do next. The old Hou Ye was impatient and urged him not to think too much about things, but to explain clearly first.

Zhu Dingbei said: "The road to Xianbei is really difficult, especially after leaving the border of Yongzhou and Bingzhou, the ordinary garrison soldiers on that road can't even guarantee to pass by themselves, let alone those who have no strength to restrain chickens. The common people. The best result that can be achieved in this matter is that Zhu's army will go to the state border to meet the migrants, take over and escort them into Xianbei Mansion."

"Your Majesty will call you into the palace in the future at most to explain his decision. Don't mention the severe winter weather at that time, Grandpa, just explain that our Zhu family's army is deploying defenses in Xianbei. Every soldier has a stake in the interests and the safety of the northern border. Point out the time wasted for the army to go south, and insist that the garrisons in Jingzhou and Yuzhou escort the migrants not to let go. No matter what His Majesty decides, as long as Father’s official letter arrives in Luojing sooner than the imperial decree, there is room for negotiation on this matter .”

Old Hou Ye nodded, feeling once again in his heart that there was smoke rising from the ancestral grave of Old Zhu's family, and the wisdom of several lifetimes was born on his good grandson.

After talking about this important matter, the grandpa and grandson went into detail about today's plan to arrest the internal thief, until the housekeeper Zhu San reported that the carriage of Changxinhou's mansion had arrived outside the door.

Ning Heng came in to greet the old Hou Ye and the old lady, and took Zhu Dingbei out.

After getting into the carriage, Zhu Dingbei asked him: "Didn't you agree that everyone would go to Mingyue Tower separately? Why did you go around to find me?"

Ning Heng said: "I have nothing to do when I'm free, just in time to say hello to Lord Hou and Madam Hou."

"...You are more attentive than my own grandson, why don't we switch, anyway, my grandmother will be happy when she sees you."

Ning Heng smiled reservedly.

The Lou family brothers went out early in the morning, walked around the market and bought a lot of gadgets before arriving at Mingyue Tower.Even so, it is already the earliest.

The two brothers had just entered the restaurant when a man wearing the clothes of the commander of the imperial army stepped forward and saluted, "The young one is an attendant of the Qin family. He has met Master Lou Da and Lou Er. My master ordered me to come and tell Young masters, he can't come today, please forgive me, young masters."

"Why, Qin Xi was beaten by Uncle Qin again?"

Lou Anning rubbed her chin and smiled.

The attendant of the Qin family quickly explained: "Early this morning, the eleventh young master of the Jia family came to the house to give the young master a morning lesson. Unexpectedly, the young master Ma came to the door and dragged the eleventh young master away. The young master followed with concern. gone."

"Ma Chao?"

Didn't that guy say he was preparing for the children's exam?How can I find the bad luck of eleven when I have time?The two brothers looked at each other, both puzzled, and asked a few more words, seeing that the attendant didn't know much, they sent him back to report.

The two of them took their seats in the private room on the second floor, and when they saw Ning Heng and Zhu Dingbei being led in by the second child, Lou Anning shouted, "Why are you two together—Ah Heng, don't you just go to Zhenbeihou's mansion?" ? You went to Changsheng, but you didn't call us, it's too dishonest!"

Lou Anning's face was full of resentful words of "eccentricity".

Zhu Dingbei pinched his nose and said with a smile: "I'm not here, didn't you have a good time too? These, and these, huh?"

He pointed to the little gadgets on the side. Such a bunch of gadgets were brought up without putting them on the carriage. This guy obviously couldn't wait to offer treasures to them.

After his reminder, Lou Anning didn't care about the taste anymore, pulled Zhu Dingbei over, picked up a small gadget and said happily: "I saw a lot of good things in Qizhen Pavilion today. Look at this A mechanism tower," he stuffed a mechanism tower into Zhu Dingbei's hands: "Although it only has three floors now, but if you find the right mechanism, you can pull out as many as eighteen floors, which is very difficult."

His voice fell, and there was only a click, and the mechanism tower popped out one floor, and then there were ten clicks, and the eighteen-story mechanism tower instantly appeared in Zhu Dingbei's hands.

Lou Anning was dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief.

Lou Ankang held back his laughter, afraid of hurting his younger brother. You must know that Master Lou Er spent a whole morning thinking about it before he solved this organ tower.

Lou Anning didn't believe it anymore, and pointed to some tricks that he hadn't cracked, which the shopkeeper said were very difficult to solve, and asked him to solve them. Zhu Dingbei was not interested and said, "Let's eat first, I can play with these little things at the age of three, you If you really want to see it, I'll show you later."

Lou Anning: "..." The store owner seemed to say that these are ten times more difficult than the trap towers, he must have remembered it wrong!

Lou Ankang: "..." Hahahaha!

Ning Heng pursed his lips and smiled, pulled Zhu Dingbei up to let him sit down, and ignored Lou Anning who was furious and glared at him.

Zhu Dingbei took the tea poured by Ning Heng, took a sip, and asked, "Where's Qin Xi? Didn't he keep arguing yesterday to be the first to order?"

Speaking of Qin Xi's bad luck, Lou Anning immediately forgot the anger just now, sat next to Zhu Dingbei and said, "He committed a Tai Sui today, Ma Chao came early in the morning to look for bad luck on the [-]th, and he happened to run into it. Afraid that the devil would bully his little daughter-in-law, so he followed along."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but didn't ask any more questions.

Given the identities of Qin Xi and Jia Jiaming, Ma Chao didn't dare to do anything to them.

Lou Anning rushed to order the dishes, and the few people didn't pick their mouths. After eating and drinking, they walked to the martial arts arena two streets away from Mingyue Tower - Fengyun Casino.

Ning Heng's arrangement was really appropriate. After they entered the casino, they were respectfully invited to the private room on the third floor. Outside the private room, there was a dedicated guard from the casino, so no one would come in to disturb them.

As soon as Lou Anning entered, she couldn't wait to walk to the window sill, and lay down on her stomach to watch the fighting going on below.

"Wow, this trick is really powerful."

"It's amazing, it's just a show, and it looks good on display. If you really want to do it, Qin Xi like this can beat it."

Zhu Dingbei walked to Lou Anning's side, and mocked him rudely.

Lou Ankang consciously avoided the window sill on the other side. Seeing his younger brother gnashing his teeth but unable to beat Changsheng to swallow his anger, Lou Ankang laughed tremblingly.He greeted Ning Heng, who was standing next to Zhu Dingbei and Lou Anning, who couldn't get enough space, to come to him, and signaled him to just watch their good show.

Seeing that Zhu Dingbei is a knowledgeable person, the shopkeeper of the casino who was accompanying him hurriedly explained: "Young masters, the fight has not yet started, and the fighters in the arena below are our casino thugs. Waiting for a while will definitely not disappoint the young masters."

Lou Anning snorted and asked him to serve some tea and snacks, the shopkeeper quickly gave instructions to the people outside the door, and still stood quietly by the side.

Lou Ankang cleared his throat, held back a smile and saved his brother's face, then pointed to the screen with a sign on the side of the ring and asked the shopkeeper what it was.

The shopkeeper knew that the young masters were of high status, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "These twelve signs are the twelve most powerful masters in my Fengyun Casino, and the martial arts in the ring can choose one of them at will. Fight. Wu Zi's name will also be hung under the sign of the challenger, and everyone in the field can bet at will. Whoever wins will get [-]% of the bet. If you are interested, you can also play. "

Lou Anning was surprised: "The most powerful thugs in your casino should not have many opponents, isn't that a sure win?"

"Hey, there are so many powerful people and strange people in the world, I dare not say that Fengyun Casino can recruit the most powerful people."

The shopkeeper laughed when he heard the words, "Although their martial arts are top-notch, the martial arts fighters who come to our casino also have superb skills. They don't want money, and most of the fighters who come to fight martial arts are from other places. Some of them are fledgling in the capital. If you are not familiar with them, you will come to our casino to try your skills. As long as you can defeat one person here, you will have a reputation among martial arts. If someone can defeat all twelve of them, then you don’t have to wait until next year’s martial arts high school. It must also become famous, but if it is not guaranteed, our nobles in the capital will come forward to recruit them back."

It turned out that this was the case, Lou Anning suddenly became more interested in the future fighting.

Lou Ankang said with a smile: "Qin Xi didn't come today, and he must be eager to come later."

"Who told him to forget his righteousness, hehe."

"...Brother, don't say this to Eleven, he has no face."

Lou Anning waved her hands generously: "I've gotten used to it early on Eleven."

Lou Ankang touched his nose, but was speechless.

At this time, the refreshments were brought in, and the four of them sat down and chatted. They didn't stand in front of the window sill until the sound of gongs and drums came from downstairs.

——The fighting begins.
