Better to live forever [Rebirth]

After the trip to Changning Mountain, Emperor Zhenyuan kept people paying attention to the exchanges between Zhu, Qin, Chen Louning and the several prefectures, and he was a little relieved after the investigation was no different from previous years.

The lives of Zhu Dingbei and the others have not changed because of this, the only difference is that Jia Jiaming has transferred from Huangpin Academy to Tianpin.However, the other party has always been a well-behaved person in class, and he still sits with a few people at noon, so it is not a big change.

The climate in Luojing is milder than that in the north. Although it is winter in October, it is still cool in autumn, and it will gradually cool down at the end of October.

The weather is so good, it also makes people feel comfortable.

However, Lou Anning was full of complaints: "Grandpa and brother are determined to torture me this time, and the daily punching makes my hands sore and my legs ache. I'm so bored."

However, the Lou family listened to Jia Jiaming's suggestion and really invited Lou Er Shao a boxing master to exercise his physique.

Lou Ankang pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I only regret that I didn't invite the master earlier, you've slept much more well-behaved these few nights."

Qin Xi said itchy: "Why don't I try my skills tonight? The master hired by your family with a lot of money will definitely not be bad at skills."

"The family invited a master who cares about raising energy, and he is not the same as a reckless man like you." Lou Ankang flatly refused.

Zhu Dingbei also said: "That's right, Lou Er's complexion is rosy these days, it seems that the money is not in vain."

Lou Anning rolled her eyes greatly, "Just coax me, I've only been practicing for less than half a month, and I can still practice peerless martial arts. Everyone knows how to make jokes when they are talking, and you dare to work hard, don't you?" You just look at my jokes, right?"

Jia Jiaming pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Didn't An Ning always want to compete with Chang Sheng and Qin Xi? Take this opportunity to ask the master for some advice. In the future, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to fight back."

When Lou Anning heard this, her brows and eyes stretched, and she clasped Jia Jiaming's shoulder and said happily: "I like to listen to what Eleven has to say. You two have a good time waiting for me. In the future, when the young master masters the magic skills, I will take the two of you as my master." My building's second young master's vote!" He laughed as he spoke, as if he had pinned Zhu Dingbei and Qin Xi to the ground and ravaged them in every possible way.

The rest of the people exchanged a helpless look, but they didn't reveal it.

Lou Ankang talked about another matter: "I heard that the migrants had some accidents on the road, and they arrived at the border only two days ago. Now the northern border has snowed and is frozen for thousands of miles. It seems that the deadline set by His Majesty is at the end of October." Now, if you can't move into Xianbei on time, I don't know how His Majesty will punish you."

This matter had nothing to do with him, but because of Zhu Dingbei's relationship, he paid more attention to it.

With that said, Lou Ankang couldn't help looking at Zhu Dingbei.

Zhu Dingbei was not worried, and said: "We were not the ones who made the mistake. We delayed sending people to this time. It would be good if Zhu Jiajun didn't discuss with Jingzhou and Yuzhou Zhou Mu."

Jia Jiaming hesitated and said: "I heard from my father that the soldiers escorting the migrants sent memorandums, saying that the journey was delayed due to the epidemic and disasters, and many people died. I don't know that in such a cold day, those migrants Can the people run for so long, can they bear it?"

If a large number of people die in the Xianbei Mansion, it will be difficult.

Qin Xi interjected, "I haven't heard of any famines. How could there be a disease?"

Jia Jiaming: "I heard that it was chicken plague. Not long after the incident broke out, the county guard ordered...the village was sealed off. The disease did not spread, so only a memorial was written, and there was no disturbance."

Zhu Dingbei babbled, probably not as simple as sealing off the village, those villagers probably didn't leave anyone alive who might be infected with the disease.

Heh, when these officials wield the butcher's knife at the common people, they are no more distracted and merciless than those soldiers on the sofa on the battlefield.

Lou Anning sighed and said: "I used to think that the world was peaceful, but now it seems that this peaceful day is only in Luojing."

Several people laughed when they heard this, and they thought in unison: Luo Jing is the most uneasy place in the world.

Several people changed the topic, and then asked about Jia Jiaming's preparation for the exam, talking and laughing like this.

Before the immigrant people were handed over from the border to Zhu's army, the soldiers who escorted them received a good report for three days, but when they arrived in Zhu's army, it seemed that there was no news at all.

Emperor Zhenyuan didn't pay much attention to those auspicious reports before, but Zhu Jiajun's behavior made him very unhappy.

Zhu Dingbei was also surprised, so he asked the old Hou Ye: "Did Dad say anything, is everything going well?"

The old master thought for a while and said: "I only said it went well, but didn't mention anything else. He did this job really badly. It was originally a thankless job. He dared to save the emperor's face, but he handed over the errand. Where is the emperor? There is still time to give him credit."

It's not bad if you don't remember Zhu Jiajun in your heart!

Zhu Dingbei raised his brows and eyes, "Father will definitely not fail to understand such a simple truth. Besides, there is Uncle Chao'an, why didn't he remind Dad? I'm afraid that something will happen here."

"But sending someone away, what kind of trouble can happen? Could it be... Your father messed up the matter, and those migrants froze to death?"

Zhu Dingbei glared at Old Master Hou, who waved his hands embarrassingly: "You're joking, haha."

Zhu Dingbei ignored him, and continued: "About Langya Mountain, daddy didn't reply. I don't know what's going on."

The winter clothes have been delivered, and even the soldiers who sent the winter clothes have returned to Luojing, but they only brought back some things, without any messages or entrainment.

After all, it is a matter of secrets, so Zhu Dingbei is inevitably worried.

The old Hou Ye said he was relieved, but after all, he still had a lot of worries about his son who was in charge of his own affairs. He wrote a letter without hesitation, rolled it up and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube, and ordered Zhu San to send Zhan Ying to Xianbei as soon as possible.

And four days later, the eight hundred miles of Xianbei Mansion's urgent military newspaper and the war eagle sent back from Zhu's account arrived in Luojing one after another.

Emperor Zhenyuan was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study at that time. After reading the memorial, he put away the ink brush and said repeatedly: "Quick, the military generals above the first rank in Xuanjun's plane, come to see me immediately!"

The eunuch Dongsheng responded, and before he left the palace, the emperor's voice sounded again: "Call Lord Zhenbei here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He did not dare to delay.

In the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the old Hou Ye rolled up the letter paper, and a few words made his face change drastically!

Zhu San was surprised: "Marshal, what happened?"

Before the old Hou Ye could speak, a young servant hurried over and said outside the study that someone from the palace would read His Majesty's oral order, and asked the old Hou Ye to go and receive the order quickly.

The old Hou Ye didn't care to think too much, so he stuffed the letter paper to Zhu San, and ordered: "Send the letter to Changsheng immediately." After finishing speaking, he took the order and rushed to the palace without stopping.

Not long after, Zhu Dingbei also saw the letter.

His face suddenly changed, but what was written on it was:

The Xiongnu invaded and the coach disappeared.

Zhu Dingbei endured until school was over, ignoring Ning Heng, who was full of worries and inquiries, and hurried back to the house on horseback. At this time, the old Hou Ye was still in the palace.

The urgent military bulletin from [-] li had been circulated for more than half a day, and the old lady also received the letter. At this time, she was restless, and when she saw her gloomy grandson, she couldn't help but force herself to say: "Don't be afraid of longevity, your father I grew up in the northern border since I was a child, and I have fought over [-] times with the Huns, so it is not so easy to lose. Don't be afraid, after two days, the news of victory will come back."

The circles of his eyes turned red when he said this, and he didn't know whether to use these words to comfort his grandson or himself.

Zhu Dingbei nodded: "Grandma, I'm not worried."

He knew that there was no way to comfort the old lady, so he turned around and ordered the housekeeper to ask the doctor to prescribe a tranquilizer for the old lady so that she could have a good sleep.

I waited in the study in the front yard, knowing that after the end of the day, the old Hou Ye slowly returned to the house.

"Grandpa, what's going on?!"

Zhu Dingbei asked eagerly, there were only a few numbers on the letter paper, but Zhu Dingbei didn't know anything about what happened in it.

What made him uneasy was that the so-called Huns invaded and the coach disappeared in his previous life!

What happened to this!

The old Hou Ye looked heavy, squeezed Zhu Dingbei's shoulders, took him to sit down and said: "It is the imperial court's warm clothes and food distributed to the counties and counties. .Your father and elder brother led the army to quell the war, but... there was an internal thief among the Xianbei people. He was trapped in the frontier county, and then temporarily retreated from the Huns. Your elder brother led the troops back, but your father disappeared. .”

"Impossible, if my father disappeared, how could my brother turn around alone?"

Old Hou Ye said in a deep voice, "I also felt something was wrong after reading the report. But the letter paper is indeed the handwriting of the ancient military division, so it will not be faked."

Zhu Dingbei frowned, what's going on?Based on his understanding of the current combat power of the Huns and the strength of the Zhu family's army, the Huns will definitely not be able to succeed.Furthermore, the Zhu family army did not rely on the Xianbei people, so how could they fall into the trap because of the Xianbei internal thieves?Even if the Xianbei people in Bianjun colluded with the Xiongnu inside and outside, how could it be possible that his father and commander personally lead troops to calm down and come to such a point?

Zhu Dingbei forced himself to calm down, and said, "What's your Majesty's decision?"

Lord Hou: "I ordered all the garrisons in Liangzhou to strengthen the border defense. The Zhu family's army resisted the Xiongnu and was not allowed to enter the country. After the thaw in the next year, there will be a crusade again, and I will send more people to find the commander."

Zhu Dingbei sneered: "These are the only words we have discussed so far?"

Old Hou Ye's face was more gloomy than his: "Those old things in the military aircraft department can't even climb up on horseback after more than ten years of fighting. What can we expect from them?"

Emperor Zhenyuan was no better than the first emperor who had experienced many years of war. When encountering such a thing, he could only seek advice from the military aircraft department, which was nothing more than lip service.

Zhu Dingbei insisted: "I absolutely don't believe that Dad will be captured by the mob of the Huns!"

Old Hou Ye pressed his head with a headache, "I don't believe it either, but..."

Zhu Dingbei interrupted him and said, "Grandpa, please tell me the report again carefully, don't miss a single word."

After hearing the words, the old Hou Ye said: "On the ninth day of October in the 21st year of Zhenyuan, I received a report from the troops stationed in the border county. Xianbei's internal thieves are in trouble, and they set up a trap with the Xiongnu to besiege the commander in Jiaohe County. After three years of fighting to repel the Huns and foreign countries, the commander and several soldiers have disappeared. Our army has blocked the border county and pursued the Xiongnu, vowing to protect the safety of the commander. "

Old Hou Ye recalled that he was afraid of missing the contents of the report by mistake, so he spoke very slowly.

Zhu Dingbei listened, but there was a trace of strangeness on his face, he said: "Grandfather, the report said it was Jiaohe County?"

"What's the problem?"

Zhu Dingbei was taken aback by the old Hou Ye's questioning, and then he remembered that the county here was only after the old Hou Ye returned to Beijing, and Sima Yuqi divided the counties on the border between Xianbei Prefecture and the Xiongnu. The situation in each county is clear, but the old Hou Ye has no specific concept of this title.

He squinted and smiled slightly.

"Langya Mountain is in Jiaohe County."
