"How many days have Brother Qiang left?"

On New Year's Eve, Baoyu suddenly asked in the flower hall.

When he asked, everyone looked strange at first, and then Xiangyun laughed "puffed" and everyone burst into laughter.

No one expected that Baoyu would be the first to mention Jia Qiang.

This reunion night, for some reason, the show was not beautiful, and the sumptuous supper was not sweet anymore.

Feng Jie'er said funny: "Baoyu, don't let Qiang'er beat her up, are you not happy this year?"

Jia Mu spat and said, "That devil king in the world is not here, you have bullied Baoyu again."

Feng Jie'er called Tian Qu and said, "When did I mention it? It's clearly what Brother Bao misses you!"

Baoyu was not angry either and said, "I'm going to calculate when he will come back, and how many good days will I have to go!"

Others didn't know this, but Jia Mu understood that she calculated: "The capital city is 400 miles away from Xuanfu, and the marching of her will not exceed 70 miles per day. In this cold winter, it will not exceed 60 miles, and at most it will take fifty miles a day. In this way, it will take half a month to go back and forth. In addition, it will be worth half a month to get home after half a month, and it will be just enough to finish the New Year."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Baoyu can have a good New Year, too."

Baoyu smiled happily, and the sisters laughed. Xiangyun reminded: "Brother Qiang is working for the country, and the emperor ordered troops. There are still dangers in the snow and ice. I hope he will return safely as soon as possible."

Baoyu said angrily: "If today's peace is in peace, it is a prosperous era of billions of dollars. He is showing off his power and hired an errand. Can you blame me?"

Xiangyun said angrily: "Nonsense! Didn't you hear what Brother Qiang said? It was a Grand Secretary of the Military Affairs Office who recommended him. The emperor asked for his opinion. Can he say no?"

Jia Qiang was gone, Baoyu let himself go, and the old god said, "He said yes? I think he was just blowing magic snails! There are so many civil and military officials in the court, but no one is available. I have to find him? It's just to make more contributions."

Tanchun couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Brother Qiang resigned from a high-ranking official first. Besides, he was originally a Marquis of Wu, so why do you have to do so much credit?"

Baoyu was not afraid of her and smiled and said, "I can't say that he still wants to be a duke, but he still wants to be a king?"

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and Baochai is immediately confused when she hears the word "King"...

She thought Baoyu was saying something reasonable. The civil and military officials in the court could only point at Jia Qiang?

It can be seen that it was mostly Jia Qiang who pointed to this war and made some contributions.

Why did he want to be so anxious to be appointed as a Duke and a King?

For a moment, Baochai felt so sweet in her heart.

But I feel a lot of heartache. I don’t know where Jia Qiang is suffering now, so don’t freeze.

If I had known that he had worked so hard, I should have followed his wishes last time...

Thinking of this, Baochai's originally fair and flawless pretty face had a few more peach red, which made Baoqin, who was watching her, feel amazement...

...

Xuanfu.

The pleasant New Year atmosphere in the capital is invisible here.

The situation is much more severe than what Beijing expected!

On the walls of the town, there were soldiers standing full of defense. Among the soldiers who were watered on the wall, there were Tartars' heads, hands, feet and flesh.

Two miles outside the city, it was so arrogant.

The Mongolian tents were densely filled with cattle and sheep, as if they could not see the end.

From afar, you can see Hu Qi riding a horse and watching the city. There is no trace of emotional fluctuation on his numb face and fishy yellow eyes.

horrible.

In the General's Mansion.

Hou Huawen of Huaian frowned, obviously the year was difficult.

He is not an incompetent person. If he is given several years of hard work and uses some means to impress, suppress, or expel and transfer the generals of the Xuanfu, then in three to five years, the Xuanfu will be named Hua.

But now it takes less than a year to work, and Xuanfu is still very far away from the surname Hua.

The Dong family of Xuande Hou sold all the fields, real estate and door shops of Xuanfu, and it was considered to be clean.

But Xuanfu also has a deputy general, many guerrillas and guerrillas.

The branches and vines are connected in open and secret, and together with the gentry and tycoons of the Xuanfu, they wove into a large and airtight net.

Although the Huai'an Marquis Mansion was here to be the general, the general brought less than a hundred people.

Once you offend the other party and are surrounded by others, you will be almost unable to move forward.

Without forcefully tearing this big net, he was almost stubbornly tricked into his hands.

But if he defeated it with his power, he might not succeed. Even if he really killed one or several of them, he would inevitably end up with the enemy all over the city.

Therefore, he cannot do it himself.

At the moment, this pass is really urgent. Someone is anxious to jump over the wall and open the pass through the city gate privately, which is a disaster that will be a disaster.

Therefore, we can only rely on the power of the court.

But I don’t know if the court will send people, who will send, and whether it will be successful…

"Father, Ninghou Jia Qiang is now the commander of the Embroidered Yiwei. This matter involves an insider spy, and the court must send him. If he comes, based on our family and him, we will be able to follow his father's advice."

The prince Hua'an knew the difficult things about Huai'an Marquis and spoke out.

Hua Wen frowned and said, "He is a new high. In the past two years, he has been prosperous day by day. The last time it was so powerful, and everyone in the government and the country were shouting and killing, but he couldn't bring him down. Now, he and our family are no longer the friendship of selling barbecue together. Even if he comes, he may not take me seriously. What's more, how could a new high like him run through the snow and snow to endure hardships? If someone else comes here... it's mostly Shanxi merchants, and they have a very good relationship with the power of the DPRK and China. In the end, they may not find out any name, and they dare not investigate it."

Hua An was silent when he heard this, and he knew that what his father said was true.

Jia Qiang at that time still needed to rely on the power of the Huai'an Marquis' Mansion to protect himself and not be bullied and timid by Jia Zhen and others.

But although Jia Qiang is not saying that the Huai'an Marquis Mansion is looking up to him, his location is definitely higher than that of the Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

But if others come... they may not dare to take action.

After a moment of silence, Hua An said in a deep voice: "Father, the Fan family of Shanxi merchants had a good relationship with the Dong family, the Deputy General Hou family, and the guerrillas, either feeding them with silver, or some were just children and relatives. This time, the inner demon came from the Fan family, and the Fan family handed over a management business and finished it. Deputy General Hou and the sect generals both pleaded for his family, saying that the Fan family donated a lot of military food to Xuan Town and served the country with loyalty. Although the servants were lowly, they did not have the reason to punish the master for their servants because of their servants. The Fan family even launched a guerrilla war, and this battle was very brave...

Father, son can't figure out what's going on here? These people protect the Fan family. If the city is really broken, can they fall down? Also, are the Mongols crazy? At this time, they are crazy attacking with lifelessness and using corpses as ladders is really terrible..."

Hua Wen said: "Mongols are crazy? No, a hundred years ago, did I, Taizu of Dayan, also brought a group of hungry people and killed the enemy thieves with no life? An'er, you have never tasted hungry, and you don't know that it is a more terrible feeling than death. When people are extremely hungry, they are not afraid of life and death."

Hua An felt depressed when he heard this. There were traitors inside and he could not get rid of them. There were powerful enemies who were not afraid of death.

A strong enemy is naturally terrible, but the inner demon is the most hateful.

Isn’t there a trace of awe in their hearts?

Or are they arrogant and thought that they could stubbornly mess with the Mongols and collect their money, and they were not afraid that they would break through the town?

The father and son were trapped by the situation in front of him, and both frowned.

Mrs. Husband of Huai'an came in with her daughter and said with a smile: "Master, it's New Year's Eve today. It's New Year's Eve. I'm going to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Should I eat some dumplings and rest?"

When Hua Wen heard this, he looked at his wife, son and daughter, and his eyebrows were slightly relaxed. He was about to speak when he heard a housekeeper outside the door saying, "Marty, three people came outside, saying that they were the old master and brother's capital, and came to visit."

Mrs. Hou said wonderingly: "Oh, why are there people coming at this time? It's the New Year..."

But Hua Wen and Hua An looked at each other and said, "Please come in and speak."

...

"Ning Hou!! Why are you?!"

In the study of the General's Mansion, one of the three people who were brought in by the butler was one of them. Hua An suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Ziyang encountered difficulties, how can I ignore it? After receiving the letter, I asked for an order in front of the emperor, brought the Zhuque Camp, and ordered the Prince of Xuande to come. However, Dong Chuan and the Firearms Camp were still behind. I will take a step first and meet old friends."

When Hua An heard this, his eyes were so excited that he turned red.

Although it is true that the two of them are really not very good.

But when I was in a difficult situation in a foreign land and were surrounded by enemies of tigers and wolves, it was still very touching to have an old friend come to help me!

After the two hugged each other heavily, Jia Qiang bowed and greeted the Huai'an Hou and smiled: "Shi Shu can see through the internal thieves when he first entered Xuanfu, defended the 80,000 men of the Mongolian Guards, and attacked the city without breaking. The emperor and all the military forces praised it. Shi Shu Hu's reputation is also known by the children in the capital."

Although he knew that this statement was a bit exaggerated, Hua Wen was still overjoyed and said with a tribute: "Hey, Mr. Ning is too proud! In the battle to defend the city, all the soldiers of Xuanzhen were not afraid of death. What I did was nothing!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I had a relationship with Zi Yang when I was in a downturn, which was considered a friend of poor and humbleness. I have never had any conflicts in money. Just call me a good minister, and there is no need for heretics."

When Hua An heard this, his face became more and more lit. He smiled happily on the side: "Now you have become the niece of the queen and you are brothers with the prince. It is common for you to stay overnight in the palace. You are no longer the poor boy who made money from barbecue skewers!"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "It's actually the same."

Hua An nodded and said seriously: "It's the same. For a new friend, you could rush to the Jinsha Gang to play against me, the Prince of Wuhou. Now for me, the old friend, you are still coming from the capital for the New Year. Good minister, you have the ancients who are eager for the righteousness, and I am convinced!"

Jia Qiang patted his shoulder and asked, "I'll say good things later. Are there any food? We left the army and ran for a day and night. The road was difficult to walk. Before the water drips in, we should pick up some hot things first and cushion your stomach."

Hua Wen hurriedly sent the housekeeper and said, "Take these two brothers to have a meal and prepare more food."

Jia Qiang turned around and nodded with Shang Zhuo and Yue Zhixiang, and the two left with the butler.

Hua Wen told Hua An: "Teach Liangchen to wash up and go to the back house to have a meal." He said to Jia Qiang: "It just so happened that your aunt had just prepared a reunion dinner. You are worse than you come early than you are!"

...

Shenjing, imperial city.

Jiuhua Palace.

Emperor Long'an brought Queen Yin, Li Jing, Li Shi, and Li Xuan to come and have a family banquet with Queen Mother Tian.

Li Han, the prince of Yiping, is also there.

However, Empress Dowager Ueda only said a few words to Li Han, and the meal was cold and indifferent, so it was so tormented.

After the reunion banquet, Li Han was sent back to the Shouhuang Palace to continue his studies, and Emperor Long'an's family also left.

However, there was more than one thing that made Emperor Long'an feel bad. Before the palace was set, the Military Affairs Office received an urgent report from Songjiang Prefecture: The Qi family fleet suddenly encountered a storm on the sea and sank 30%. When they were docking for help, they were robbed and were robbed more than ten large ships. Originally, more than 40 sea ships were only 8 left. The ships that the dozen children of the Qi family either sank or were robbed, and only one person survived, which was a terrible sight.

Seeing this, Emperor Long'an felt a stone blocking his chest, which made him angry!
