Seeing that Mu Xingchen had returned, Ning Jing hurriedly said, "The water here is cold and humid, so go back to the house and rest. I'm almost done here. I'll cook lotus seed porridge for you later."

After Mu Xingchen heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, Yun'er, come here and go to the house with my uncle to have some snacks. It's cold outside, and you're still too young."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun looked at Ning Jing and said, "Okay, then come quickly, uncle."

Ning Jing nodded, this kid doesn't know what's wrong, since he saw him today, he has been calling him uncle, now he really has become a 'little brother'.

Ning Jing picked up the last bit of lotus seeds, got a small bowl of lotus seeds, and then brought them to the small kitchen in the yard, carefully boiled lotus seeds and red dates porridge in a small casserole, these are all good things, although this porridge is the most delicious in spring OK, but it's also good to drink now, it's a good thing in season.

After cooking the porridge, he returned to the main house with some side dishes. As soon as he entered the house and changed his shoes at the door, he saw Mu Xingchen studying with Mu Yun. He walked over with a smile, "Let's take a break, come Have some porridge, it's very sweet."

Mu Xingchen nodded, they ate in their own yard at noon, they didn't go to the front hall anymore, Ning Jing thought it was too noisy, Mu Xingchen was also used to him, at this time Xiaocao and a group of servants brought the meals prepared in the small kitchen They also sent them over, and the two of them ate lunch together. Mu Yun was younger and didn't eat much, so he felt a little sleepy after the meal.

Mu Xingchen took him for a walk for a while. At this time, Liu Yueran personally brought someone over to look for the child, and she was not too embarrassed. The young couple were newly married, and their brat always ran to others and disturbed them. , It's really not good, they were all people who came over at that time, so they just thanked each other and left with the sleepy Mu Yun.

When Mu Xingchen returned to his room, he saw Ning Jing packing up his things. He walked over and said, "Take a break, don't you have to take a nap at noon? I'll let Xiaocao help clean it up later."

After Ning Jing heard it, he said, "It's nothing but a book. This is what I will use in the future examinations. I just read it." After finishing speaking, he did not refute Mu Xingchen's kindness, but washed his hands and went to bed , beckoned, let Mu Xingchen go over, and asked him to sleep with him.

After all, Mu Xingchen and him are husband and wife, so they don't hesitate. Anyway, they slept together last night. They did everything they should and shouldn't do, but they didn't forget to lock the door. This was Ning Jing's reminder. He always doesn't lock the door. If a subordinate comes to him, he can just call 'come in'. Now it's no good, they're newly married, and if some things make people look bad, he's a 'little brother' after all ', he also wants face!

When he got back to the bed, he saw that Ning Jing was about to fall asleep, so he walked over to sleep outside, Ning Ning covered him with a quilt in a daze, "I was tired of you yesterday, sleep a little longer, take care of yourself Body, give me a son." Although his tone was a bit hooligan, Mu Xingchen just smiled and said nothing after hearing this, this is the way this person is, he is used to it, this is what he is thinking!

The two of them slept for less than two hours when they were awakened by knocking on the door. Mu Xingchen woke up first. He lifted the curtain of the bed and saw Xiaocao standing at the door with his head bowed, so he put on his shoes and went to the ground. Opened the door: "What's wrong?"

Xiaocao was a little flustered, and was afraid of being scolded for disturbing the master's rest, but the old master in the front yard called someone to come over to the young master and his wife, saying that there was something urgent, and he just called someone to notify him, and he didn't dare to delay: "Old man Master asks you to go there with Mrs. Ning, saying that there is something urgent."

Mu Xingchen immediately turned around and returned to the inner room, and saw that Ning Jing had already put on his clothes, and then took care of himself. At this time, he was picking out clothes for him, and when he saw him coming in, he said, "Hurry up and change your clothes. Something must have happened, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a hurry."

Mu Xingchen's movements were quicker than his, and he finished wearing it in a short while, and then went to Mu Qingcang's study with peace of mind. Along the way, he met a few brothers who hadn't gone out in the backyard, and they went together directly I went there, and when I got to the place, I saw several brothers were already waiting, and even those who were on errands came back.

When Mu Yanzhong saw that everyone had arrived, he motioned for everyone to sit down first, and then said, "What happened to the father? You called us here so urgently?"

"This is the information we just received. The food and grass we transported to the border was intercepted, and the escort officers and soldiers were all killed."

"What does the emperor say about such a big matter?" Mu Yanzhong asked.

"What did he say? He will also pass this responsibility on to us and ask the Military Aircraft Department to solve it on its own. It's the same with him or without him." After hearing this, Mu Qingcang became even more angry. The battle report was sent to the imperial court. After finishing it, he threw it directly at the military plane and asked them to investigate, just as if this country did not belong to him.

"No matter how you say it, the robbing of the military rations is a big deal. Let's find the rations first. Otherwise, after a few days of heavy snow and road closures, even if we find them, we won't be able to transport them to northern Xinjiang. Find them as soon as possible." Mu Yankai Said with a frown.

"I think it's not enough for us to just worry here. We have to find a few old generals to report to the court together, ask the court to issue an order, and ask the state governments to cooperate in the investigation. Those who know the inside story will be rewarded, and those who conceal it will be punished as the same party." Mu Xingchen also joined the discussion.

At this time, there was a sound of hawks in the sky, Mu Yanliang immediately turned around and left the study, and whistled to the sky. After a while, a white sea dongqing landed on his arm, and looked at a bamboo tube on his leg. , he took it down, let Hai Dongqing fly, turned around and went into the study, and handed the bamboo tube to Mu Qingcang: "Father, please look."

When Mu Xingchen and his brothers saw Hai Dongqing, their expressions sank. This Costin was raised in northern Xinjiang, and they would not fly to the capital when there was no major event. It is more than 2000 kilometers away from northern Xinjiang. As for Lidi, is this something wrong in northern Xinjiang?All in a hurry.

Mu Qingcang picked up the bamboo tube, took out the small note inside, and frowned when he saw the content on it: "The barbarians in the north threshed grain and grass in the border towns, and killed more than a hundred of our border residents. They are too deceitful. These guards The soldiers at the frontier all eat dry food, so go to the military plane immediately and ask the old generals to come back to discuss matters.” After speaking, he got up and walked out of the study, and took the lead to go back to the White Tiger Hall, and the rest of the Mu family members took their families back to the inner house up.

Seeing this, Ning Jing was worried, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Xingchen stood up: "Don't worry, we're just going to the military plane. You stay at home and we'll go back when we go." After speaking, he put on the armor that Mu Kai Muxin had prepared, and put on the After putting on the helmet, he looked back at Ning Jing, then turned and left.

It was the first time for Ning Jing to encounter such a situation, and she was also worried about Mu Xingchen, so she followed up a few steps, "Wait, I'll go and see it with you."

Mu Xingchen knew that he was worried about him, so he shook his head: "You are not a soldier, you can't get in the military aircraft department, so stay at home and wait for me to come back."

"But you are my elder brother, you are going to the battlefield, but I am shrinking at home, I can't, you know, I am a man, how can I watch you take risks, I am very worried about you." Tranquility knew The military order is as reasonable as a mountain, but he is worried that people in ancient times are cold weapons, and something may happen at any time.

"Don't worry, I didn't leave today. I'm just going to listen. I don't know if our family sent troops. You know that the royal family is afraid of us and won't let us mobilize officers and soldiers easily."

Hearing this, Ning Jing was slightly relieved, but he also followed to the front yard. When he got there, he found that all the sons and daughters of the Mu family were there, all wearing helmets and holding weapons. Among them, Mu Kai and Mu Xin were also holding weapons, and Mu Xin was holding Mu Xingchen's horse. Mu Xingchen walked over, stood in front of the horse, took a look at Ning Jing, and then turned around to look at Ning Jing. To their father, the side-by-side king of Yan.

When the King of Side Shoulders saw that everyone was here, he shouted, "Mu Jiaerlang, get on the horse and follow my father to the Military Aircraft Department."

"Yes, father." At this time, the Mu family's sons were all in high spirits, got on their horses, looked back at their husbands, and then followed Mu Qingcang to ride away. Even the 15-year-old Mu Xi They all followed with long knives in hand.

Seeing Ning Jing, he chased a few steps forward, and was yelled by Tang Jinyu: "Stop, son of the Mu family is just going to the military plane, and he is not about to go to the battlefield, put away the expressions on his face, even if They are going to the battlefield now, and they have to guard the door of my house to prevent thieves from sneaking in." After speaking, he took the lead and turned back to the house.

Ning Jing also had to follow back, and when he was about to enter the gate, he even took a look outside. Mu Xingchen had already passed the corner of the street and was out of sight.

Seeing him like this, Tang Jinyu said, "He's promising, Xiao Chen'er's kung fu is better than that. It's the first time you have encountered such a thing. After you get used to it, you'll be fine. Every time there are wars over the years, our government You have to experience such a thing in Li, and your brother-in-law and I are also used to it."

Ning Ning nodded, and then said: "Ah, is there anyone in our house who can read maps?"

"What do you want to do?" Tang Jinyu asked.

"I just don't understand. There are officers and soldiers guarding the frontier in the northern border of the Great Yan Dynasty. How did those barbarians come in? Are we defenders just watching?" It's not that Ning Jing thinks so, everyone probably thinks so, and this At the critical moment, the military rations were also lost, which is too strange. Could it be that these barbarians came here to snatch the military rations?But I met the border people, and then...but this doesn't make sense, so wait a minute!

"You mean the new map?"

"Yes, I just want to see what's different from the old picture. Doesn't it mean that the new picture has already been made? I want to compare it."

Ning Jing's words gave Tang Jinyu a reminder, and then he asked someone to get the old and new pictures. After Ning Jing took the picture and looked at it, he frowned. He pointed to a point on it and asked, "Where is this newly added place?" , so obvious, it didn’t exist before?”

"This is the newest town in northern Xinjiang, and it is also the place where the accident happened. It is said that the city wall has not been completely built. If it was not discovered during the inspection of the border, no one would know that this new town belongs to Dayan." Du Tianjiao was angry.

"Then there were no guards here before?" Ning Jing was curious after hearing this.

"Yes, how could it not be? It is said that the military expenditure has not been in place for a long time, and there is no way to build the city wall. It is a distance of tens of miles. The official army can only send rangers to guard. I didn't expect that the barbarians would suddenly invade and kill those people. There are probably officers and soldiers among them, otherwise the prince would not be so furious."

Ning Ning nodded, and then asked, "Do you know where the lost rations are?"

After Du Tianjiao heard this, she pointed it out: "Niuya Mountain is only 50 miles away from the border. When the border army arrived, there were no people there, and there were signs of destruction on the battlefield. I really don't know how these people robbed How did you take the convoy with you and disappeared without a trace.” After speaking, he sighed, and he also followed him to the battlefield. Although he was in the logistics department, this was the first time such a thing had happened.

"The robbing of the military rations was the same day as the murder of the border residents?" Ning Jing asked.

Everyone present, including Tang Jinyu, were stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "You mean the same group of people did it?"

"It's hard to say, but if the Hu people did it, then this batch of food would be lost, but if it weren't for them, where is this batch of food? Could it be that they ran away with long legs?" Li Yu Also added a mouth.

After Ning Jing listened, he looked at the maps carefully, and his head grew dizzy: "I really can't understand this map, brothers, you say that I am drawing a map of Beijing in a way that I can recognize. You don’t need too many maps of Xinjiang, just tell me the places where the military rations were lost and where the border residents were killed.” After speaking, he picked up his pen and began to wait.

After Du Tianjiao heard this, she pointed to the position on the map and told him that Ning Jing drew a map of northern Xinjiang directly with a pen in accordance with the modern map drawing method and using a plane Cartesian coordinate system. The painting is not very good, but it is not bad in the big picture. I added it later, and it is not much worse. Du Tianjiao and his husbands almost opened their mouths in an 'O' shape, okay? "It turns out that you can draw a map. It seems more comfortable than this one. As for the labels on it, I can't understand it."

When Ning Jing saw it, he said, "It's okay, I'll teach you how to recognize it when I finish the drawing." So he started to perfect it, and when it was time for a cup of tea, he found that compared with the new drawing, his drawing was like the sky and the ground. Yes, although I don’t think it’s very good, but it’s definitely more comfortable to look at than that Dayan map. After looking at it, he suddenly said: “There are so many mountains in the accident site, are there any caves?” asked people present.

"I don't know, I have to ask my husband?" Liu Yueran shook her head after hearing this.

"Then where is the nearest bandit den?" As soon as the words came out, everyone present laughed loudly, and Ning Jing didn't understand: "Why did I say something funny?"

"Of course it's funny. Did you know that on the territory of our Mu Family Army, there have been no bandit dens for a long time, and they have all been wiped out. They haven't been seen for many years." Du Tianjiao said with a smile.

Yue Yu, who is also Mu Yanyi's husband, stood up suddenly: "There are no bandits, there are rogues, it can't be said that someone from the enemy's family disguised them, so that our subordinates can be charged with dereliction of duty. , put all the barbarians' entry on us, just to catch them all in one go."

"But it's really far-fetched to say this. Unless you find food, it depends on whose hands it is in. As long as the food is in whose hands, it is whoever made it. No matter what, you can use them to rob the army. As a matter of fact, it will be easy to confiscate the family and exile." Li Yu also thought of this point.

"These are not the important points. The important point is that the city wall of the border gate has not been repaired yet. When will the emperor give the money? How much?" Ning Jing said a few more words.

"I'll go back to my house right now and ask my father, how much money does the household department have now, and how much military expenses can we spend if we fight the barbarians in the grassland?" Yue Yu stood up and was about to say go. just go.

"I'll go home now and ask my father how many bows and arrows the Ministry of Industry has. Shields and leather armor can support the border." Tie Ying, Mu Yanbao's husband, also stood up, ready to leave.

Wei Yuan is Mu Yanxiao's husband, and after hearing this, he said: "Since everyone is mobilizing, no matter whether the war will start or not, I have to go home and see how many people are still in the household department." Army rations, we can’t let the soldiers at the frontier go into battle hungry, right? If my father is not confused, the army rations have to be available to us, and everyone else should stay behind.” After speaking, he laughed.

Ning Jing felt like that when he saw it. It was the first time that the two armies were going to war when he was so old. In his previous life, he had seen how the ancients went to war on TV. Now that he thinks about it, he really wants to fight. With advance notice, how can there be any heroes written in the book, one-on-one, that is all nonsense, it is basically the rhythm of attacking first, then attacking and suffering. Thinking of this, I said: "Then the medicinal herbs that accompany the army Where can I get it?" This is a big deal!

Everyone froze for Ning Jing's words: "Yeah, I forgot about it, hurry up and get ready, go to our pharmacy to see how much stock is left, whatever you say, you have to give the men at home the medicine It's all ready." After finishing speaking, Tang Jinyu didn't need to make assignments, she just got up and left with Ning Jing.

When Ning Jinglin was leaving the house, he glanced at Tang Jinyu, Tang Jinyu just nodded, and then signaled that they could go about their own business.

After leaving Tang Jinyu's place, Ning Jing asked some things about the Wangfu pharmacy, and learned that Wen Caihe's husband Xiao Yi used to take care of it when he was there. A few drug boys were taking care of it, and after hearing this, Ning Jing nodded and stopped talking.
