Chapter 1438： won't go back to Beijing

The latest website: In a blink of an eye, it was another five days. On the northeastern border, the tribe launched an attack after the army was stationed, and the army in the capital was still speeding up.

The emperor looked at the map with his hands behind his back, and clicked on the location of the army. "The border has to be defended for at least two days, and the reinforcements will arrive after two days."

King Qi looked at the map, frowned and said: "The northeastern tribes have assembled 200,000 troops, and the defense is only 80,000. The difference is more than twice the force, and the situation is not optimistic."

There are 150,000 defenders of the city, and they are not concentrated together. They are scattered in several border fortresses. Now they are afraid to support them. They are afraid that they will get a trick and cause the chain of cities to fall. It's not easy to stop.

The emperor touched the string of beads, "Where are the soldiers and horses of the Iraqi flag?"

Li Zhao said with a sullen face, "It's been seven days since I borrowed troops, and the troops and horses of the Iraqi Banner Department have only entered the northeast."

Zhou Shuren moved his ears. He also felt sorry for the food and grass that the Yiqi Department deliberately delayed and wasted time, but when he thought of the war horses of the Yiqi Department, his heart instantly felt better.

The emperor hummed to indicate that he knew, his eyes fell on a grassland, and he was not in a hurry before the time came.

When Zhou Shuren left the palace, it was already noon, and the ministers who stayed in the palace were all hungry.

Li Zhao hurriedly returned to the military to make arrangements, hurriedly said hello and left.

The other officials also had their own important things, but Zhou Shuren had already made the arrangements, and he was not in a hurry to return to the household department.

Zhou Shuren sat down for a while when Ning Xu sat over, "I thought I was wrong, but I walked in and saw that it was really you."

"Master Hou."

"Well, I thought you'd be busy."

Zhou Shuren pointed to the carriage outside the restaurant, "I just came out of the palace, and I'm a little hungry to eat some food, but it's Marquis, why isn't he in Marquis?"

Ning Xu, "It just so happens that I'm also a little hungry, so I don't mind eating together."

"Then let's eat together."

Ning Xu ordered two dishes before returning to the previous question, "It's not that the disaster-stricken state is in chaos, I was worried that King Qin would stay in the disaster-stricken state, and I was really upset about being in the mansion, so I came out to buy something for the unborn child. ."

Zhou Shuren sighed, "Several prefectures were already affected by disasters, and now there are still troubles, and the life of the common people is even more difficult."

Ning Xu glanced at Zhou Shuren, "Qizhou is now under the control of your son. I also heard that your third kid is pretty good."

There was a smile on Zhou Shuren's face. The news from the states only arrived in the capital two days ago. There were several states, two states were in chaos, one state was killed by the prefect, one state was burned everywhere, and the other states were decisive. , suppress it for the first time.

He was satisfied with Chang Lian's response, and Chang Lian withstood the test and proved his ability to the emperor.

In Shizhou, Rong Chuan sat in the boat to protect his wife's belly. Shizhou was the least affected by the floods, and the journey back could never go around Shizhou.

Xuehan looked at the situation outside the boat, "The water has receded a lot."

Rong Chuan nodded, "Well, Shizhou was lightly affected. In a few days, when the water subsides, Shizhou will slowly return to normal."

Xuehan touched her stomach, her stomach was still uncomfortable, she leaned on the mat, "We can still walk by water now, will we have to walk on dry roads after Shizhou?"

Rong Chuan raised his hand and touched the lady's belly, "For safety, after passing Shizhou, we have to change clothes and take the dry road."

Xuehan exhaled, "There's still more than half of the way back to Beijing."

When she was out of Beijing, she walked and played, and she didn't feel that time passed slowly. Every day on the way back to Beijing was tormenting for her.

Rong Chuan touched the lady's emaciated cheek, "After Shizhou, let's find a safe place to rest for a while."

"No, we'd better go back to Beijing as soon as possible."

After a pause, he sighed, "Hey, little brother can't go back to Beijing."

Rong Chuan, "Yeah, we should have picked him up back to Beijing."

"Brother Wu Ming will not let the younger brother go back to Beijing by himself."

"It's a little messy now, it's better for my brother to stay by Wu Mingge's side."

"Ok."

In Qizhou, Chang Lian's legs no longer need crutches, but he still needs to walk carefully. After walking around the city, he listened to the report and showed a satisfied look.

Back at the government office, the prefect is also there, and Chang Lian's eyes are full of joy, "Sir, you are here."

Lord Prefect, "You have worked hard these days, and I can't be lazy either."

Chang Lian and others were busy saying that it was not hard work. The prefect laughed and talked for a while before leaving Chang Lian and said, "You have worked hard for you in the past few days."

"It's not hard work, the lower official just did what he should do."

The prefect touched his beard, "You don't have to be modest, I know it."

Chang Lian heard the closeness in the prefect's tone, "Sir, you should pay more attention to your body."

The prefect smiled, "I went to the gate of **** and closed it for a while before I realized the fragility of life. If you don't tell me, I will pay more attention."

Chang Lian reported on the food borrowed by the local family, "Currently enough to support the expenses of the refugees."

"You did very well."

The corners of Chang Lian's mouth were bent, and he also felt that he had done a great job, and this time the credit was not small.

In the Zhou family, Zhulan was comforting the eldest daughter, "It's just the border fight now, and it won't affect Zhoujia Village."

She knew that she would not call Zhoujia Village, but her daughter didn't know. In fact, her daughter wrote a letter to Jiang Miao, and Jiang Miao would not return to Beijing after receiving the letter. As soon as she moved her whole body, Jiang Miao returned to Zhoujia Village. Zhoufu.

Once Jiang Miao leaves and returns to Beijing, the Zhou family will also move. The Zhou family has a great influence locally, and there will inevitably be a chain reaction. Jiang Miao is a transparent child, and Jiang Miao will not return to Beijing unless it is a last resort.

Xuemei tightened her veil, "Mother, there are rumors in the capital, as if they could break the city at any time, I'm really scared."

Zhulan frowned, someone in the capital deliberately spread the news to create panic, "Don't believe the rumors, the rumors are false."

Xuemei also knew whether the rumors were believed or not, but her heart was full of ups and downs. War meant killing. She also had some impressions when she was a child.

Zhulan sighed. This year, the eldest daughter has only been worried about the children. From the look on the eldest daughter's face, she knows that she has not rested well recently.

Xuemei didn't hear the news from her mother, and went home without sitting for a while.

Zhulan waited for her daughter to leave, and sat motionless by the window. The Northeast and Northwest would not be far away from the war, and the eldest brother and the second brother did not know what was going on.

There is also Rong Chuan and his daughter. Since the news of the assassination, Shuren has not found any news from the emperor.

The only thing that can make her feel at ease now is her youngest son. The youngest son is by Wu Ming's side. Except that he cannot go home, the youngest son is fine.

Thinking of Chang Lian again, she was afraid after thinking about it for a while, what if she also suffered a cold arrow? Fortunately, Chang Lian was fine, and Qizhou City was stabilized.

Seeing that it was raining, Qingxue came over and said, "Old Madam, do you want to close the window?"
