Fengluo Pingyang

When Gu Feng's investigation was in full swing, the Northwest War broke out, and all other events in the court were covered up.

The Marquis of Guang'an has been guarding the northwest for many years, and he already has experience in defending against the enemy.Now that winter is approaching, the various ministries on the grasslands outside the frontier began to move around again, disturbing the border repeatedly, the Marquis of Guang'an sent the battle report, and the emperor had a headache again about military resources.

Xu Ruxin, the eldest son of the Marquis of Guang'an who had just entered the Ministry of Household Affairs, volunteered to take on the task of supervising military resources.He and the Marquis of Guang'an are father and son, so when entrusted to him, he would naturally do his best, and the emperor was not afraid that he would have other ideas, so he handed over the task to him with a swipe of a pen.

It's just that in the end, the errand of taking the truckloads of military funds to the frontier was handed over to Shenwu Hou Lingji.

After all, the emperor was not so relieved that the Marquis of Guang'an was out leading the army.Xu Ruxin's placement in the capital can be regarded as a chess piece to contain him.

It's just that Ling Ji was living a leisurely and comfortable life, making appointments with Sheng'er every day, going shopping, spending time with each other, how pleasant it was.Now that such a big job was thrown at him, and he had to go to a place so far northwest, Ling Ji's face darkened on the spot.

The emperor is not happy all of a sudden, how dare you show my face when I give you an errand? !

"What's the problem with Ling Aiqing?" the emperor said leisurely.

Ling Ji leaned over and saluted: "My Majesty, the road to the northwest is far away, and the climate of the capital is completely different. If I go there rashly, what should I do if there is something wrong with me and the military plane is delayed?"

The emperor was even more unhappy.Are you looking for an excuse and can't you find a better excuse?You, a big man chasing pirates all over the sea, won't you be comfortable telling me about a long trip here?Do you think you are a lady in the boudoir who doesn't leave the door and doesn't go out? !

"Bold! You dare to push back when I ask you to do something. You don't take me seriously!" the emperor scolded angrily.

"My minister is terrified." Ling Ji hurriedly confessed, but there was no sign of panic.

Xu Ruxin was also standing among the courtiers, watching the duo perform in public, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he remained silent.

The war situation was urgent, and it was not easy to rush out the first batch of military supplies within two months. The warehouse of the Guang'an Marquis Mansion was already more than half empty.The silver that was brought in from the emperor was eventually thrown back. It has always been like this since the Marquis of Guang'an was stationed outside, so he never thought there was anything wrong with reaching out for the silver.Otherwise, the Guang'an Hou Mansion would not be able to sustain it long ago.

The emperor and courtiers sat firmly in the court, not knowing the hardships in the frontier, and every time they asked for military funds, there were many difficulties. In the end, what could be done after all parties compromised was far from meeting the needs of the frontier army.

How can the army fight without enough food and clothing?How do these pampered emperor's courtiers know the danger of the frontier soldiers fighting each other with their lives?Having learned the lesson from the first time and the second time, the Marquis of Guang'an will contribute its own funds and efforts in the future. After all, it is the Marquis of Guang'an who is guarding the frontier, and the whole house will also provide the supplies he needs.The emperor took it for granted, because of the attitude of the Marquis of Guang'an, even if the emperor was afraid of the military power in the hands of the Marquis of Guang'an, he had no intention of doing anything for the time being.

A sneer flashed in Xu Ruxin's eyes.After the Marquis of Guang'an was stationed in the northwest frontier, he never left the boundary of the capital again.

In the end, it was still up to the emperor Jinkou Yuyu to let Ling Ji take on the role of the quartermaster.

However, Xu Ruxin's contribution to supervising the military resources is of course indispensable. Without the full support of the Marquis of Guang'an, the emperor would have lost a lot of hair. level, and sat on the seat of the Minister of the Department of household affairs.

"Thank you, Long En." Xu Ruxin knelt down to thank him, but there was no joy in his eyes.

Ling Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at the kneeling figure in front of him, and rubbed his fingertips.

It seems that there is something wrong, even the prince of Guang'an is kept in the dark...

"What? You're going to the northwest?!" Fang Yuesheng said loudly when he heard Lingji's errand.

At this time, everyone in the Marquis of Shenwu Mansion was sitting together in the warm pavilion after dinner to keep warm and chatting. Master Fang, Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Ling, Mrs. Ling were all present. "Cut" in disdain.

These two shameless people didn't hide it at all. I really don't know what trick Ling Ji used in front of the master and wife. Why didn't the master and wife beat the mandarin ducks?

He still remembered that Mrs. Fang put Fang Yuesheng and Ling Ji in the same room in order to preserve Fang Yuesheng's chastity.

Master Fang scolded: "What's the point of yelling?!"

"There is a war in the northwest, and the Marquis of Guang'an has a rift with us, so how can they have a good attitude towards Ling Ji? The Marquis of Guang'an over there covers the sky with one hand, what if he wants to deal with Ling Ji?!" Fang Yuesheng frowned.

Master Fang Hou was so angry that his beard shook.

This is not stupid, these things can also be seen clearly, why do you usually look so stupid?Could it be that he is so clever only when it involves Lingji?

It has to be said that Master Fang's guess is very correct.

Ling Ji said softly: "The young master is so smart, he is so thoughtful. I will definitely take the young master's reminder to heart."

Master Ling and Mrs. Ling's eyes turned red when he heard this.

In the past, he only thought that his son was very loyal to the young master, and he was very relieved that he didn't betray his benefactor just because he had a better future.Now that they know the whole story, and now they see such a scene, this is not loyalty, it is clearly pampering their daughter-in-law.

Madam Ling pressed her forehead with a handkerchief, feeling extremely absurd.But thinking of what Master Fang and Mrs. Fang said, not only can they not do anything now, but they have to let the two children continue to be intimate.

What should I do, when will I be able to marry a wife in the future!

Fang Yuesheng took Ling Ji's hand, and said with a worried face: "Isn't it Xu Ruxin's errand? Why didn't he go and insisted on you? Can't you tell the emperor that we don't want this errand?!"

Where is this, and this is us? !

What's the matter, why did you just pull your hands while talking? !

Master Ling lowered his head and sipped his tea vigorously. Madam Ling looked at the two clasped hands with her eyes, and she really felt very bad.

Fang Houye and Mrs. Fang, who had long been familiar with the strangeness, sat there with a calm expression on their faces, and they couldn't even feel a ripple in their hearts.

Ling Ji held Fang Yuesheng's white and tender hand back, smiled and said: "Don't worry, young master, don't you still believe in my ability? It's just to deliver supplies. This is to help the Marquis of Guang'an. Doesn't he will embarrass me."

Fang Yuesheng couldn't hide his uneasiness in his eyes, but he still bit his lip and nodded.

"Lingji, I believe in you."

"I'm going out to do errands, the young master should eat and sleep well at home, don't tire yourself out, you know?"

"When you go out, bring a few more attendants with you, and don't wrong yourself along the way."

With a snap, Fang Yueqi put the melon seeds in the bamboo basket, got up and cast a glance at them: "I can't stand it anymore!" After saying that, he left the warm pavilion angrily, and strode away.

Fang Yuesheng looked at his cousin's back, and frowned displeasedly: "Didn't you agree to take time to talk to the master and his wife? My cousin will leave as soon as he says, and I have to let my uncle discipline him."

Lord Fang Hou coughed, looked at Ling Ji and Fang Yuesheng: "Okay, you guys go out too, you don't need to serve here."

"This is our filial piety. We often come to chat with the masters and wives, so as not to make them feel lonely." Fang Yuesheng said seriously.

You are obviously making trouble!Lord Fang Hou glared at Fang Yuesheng: "There's no need for you two to chat your teeth here, go fast."

So Fang Yuesheng, who was full of sincerity, was kicked out together with Ling Ji.

"What's the matter?!" Fang Yuesheng looked at the tightly closed door panel in bewilderment, and then at Lingji, "Is this a dislike for us? What did I do wrong?"

"Good boy, Sheng'er did a great job, as long as Ben Hou likes it." Ling Ji touched his cheek and took his hand, "Come on, let's go for a stroll in the garden."

……

Three days later, Ling Ji set off with a large group of troops and several vehicles of military supplies. Fang Yuesheng sent him outside the city gate, and reluctantly watched the convoy with the military flag winding away.

It wasn't until the shadow of the convoy was gone that Fang Yuesheng rubbed his sore eyes and led the horse back slowly.

Before he reached Shenwuhou's mansion, he was blocked by a person in front of him, blocking his way.

Fang Yuesheng raised his head, saw Xu Ruxin's smiling face, and couldn't help frowning.

Without saying a word, he bypassed Xu Ruxin and continued on his way.

Xu Ruxin took a step back and reached out to stop him.

"Yue Sheng, do you really want to see outsiders like this?"

Fang Yuesheng raised his head and glared at him: "Xu Ruxin, what the hell are you doing?"

Xu Ruxin ignored his questioning, but asked softly: "Have you read the letter I wrote to you?"

"Look." Fang Yuesheng played with the horsewhip and said casually. Seeing Xu Ruxin's smile, he snorted again: "It's so boring, throw it all away."

Xu Ruxin didn't seem to care, but said: "Yuesheng, I already knew I was wrong. I shouldn't have ignored you at that time, I—"

"It's late." Fang Yuesheng interrupted him impatiently, and led the horse back, "If you like to block the road, then block the road, I won't go this way."

"Yuesheng, I sincerely apologize to you, why can't you forgive me?" Xu Ruxin frowned anxiously.

"I just don't like you, so don't bother me." Fang Yuesheng said without looking back, without any hesitation.

He has always been merciless towards people he doesn't like, Xu Ruxin understands it very well, because he used to watch Fang Yuesheng treat Ling Ji like this.But now, he has become that person, but Ling Ji is on the tip of his heart.
