Chapter 167 Request
"Young Master Ren, remember to bring Yingpan over to the uncle's residence when you have time."

As night fell, knowing that Ren Ning was in a hurry to go home, Liu Wan didn't call him in.

"Understood." Ren Ning waved his hand in response.

The three of them rode on their horses and continued to walk deep into the alley.

It didn't take long to see countless people waiting in front of them holding lanterns.The orange light warmed the long alley.

"Sanggong! There is also Zhuifeng!" Yingpan recognized Ren Ning at a glance, and waved his hands with a bright smile from a distance.

Boom!

The pace of chasing the wind is faster.

Ren Ning got off his horse and said with a smile, "What are you waiting for here! It's not that I don't know the way. Besides, it's still cold."

"It's almost May, it's not cold anymore." Yingpan stuck out her tongue gigglingly.

Lei Eryingpan knew it, and Ren Ning introduced Li Hebai to her, "You know Li Hezhu, this is her younger brother. One of the leading generals in Zhennan Pass, he is extremely powerful in battle."

Li Hebai just found out that Ren Ning was married, so he hurriedly squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Hello, sister-in-law."

"It turns out to be the younger brother of sister Hezhu, welcome."

"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, can you go to the house and have a meal?" Lei Er next to him interrupted with a bitter face: "We are almost starving to death."

"You just know how to eat!" Yingpan dismissed him, and brought a few people back home happily.

After entering the dining room, several people ate and chatted, having a delicious meal.

"A new cook at home?" Ren Ning asked.

The previous cook was rewarded by Emperor Changxing.Because of his reputation as an imperial chef, his eyes always grow on the top of his head, but the meals he cooks are hard to describe.

"It's changed!" Ying Pan nodded with a smile: "I will change all the disobedient servants."

In fact, almost all the people rewarded by Emperor Changxing were completely replaced.

Seeing the bright and comfortable smile on Yingpan's face, Ren Ning was greatly relieved.

Lei Er and Li Hebai ate and drank enough, and left first wisely.

"When did Lao Ren get married?" As soon as he left the dining room, Li Hebai couldn't help asking.

"Just last year." Lei Er didn't think much about it, and was happily eating a piece of fruit after dinner, "He just got married, and we went south to Guangxin County together."

"Then does my sister Bei God know that Lao Ren is married?" Li Hebai asked impatiently.

"Of course I know." Lei Er finally came to his senses, and nodded with a smile.

Li Hebai let out a long sigh, turned around and went to the guest house that Jixiang had arranged for him.

Early the next morning, when Ren Ning got up and arrived at the training ground, Lei Er had already walked in.

Three horses follow behind him.It is the little red horse of Zhuifeng, Benlei and Yingpan.

The arena was very big, and the three horses circled around the two of them a few times, seeing that the master didn't intend to ride them, so they wandered around and started playing on their own.

"Old Ren, when was this training ground built?"

Ren Ning rolled his eyes and didn't answer such nonsense.

When they left last year, most of the house was still deserted.Of course, this martial arts arena was repaired by Ying Pan later.

"Sister-in-law is really thoughtful."

Lei Er sighed, walked to Ren Ning's side, and practiced martial arts with a heavy machete.

After practicing for quite a while, Li Hebai finally arrived late.

Seeing the two people on the field sweating profusely, he also sweated profusely.

After practicing martial arts, having breakfast and changing clothes, Ren Ning brought some gifts and walked to Zhen Guo Mansion.

Lei Er and Li Hebai followed enthusiastically, but when they heard that Ren Ning was going to the Zhenguo Mansion, the two couldn't help but look at each other.

Although they all wanted to meet the world-famous Princess Yiguang, in the end they all turned around and entered the Zhongyong uncle's mansion next door.

Generally speaking, before visiting a high-ranking noble family, you have to post a worship post a few days in advance.

But just like the first time, Ren Ning told the disciples about his identity, and was quickly welcomed into the mansion.

Huo Qing also just took a shower after practicing martial arts, and when he heard the news of Ren Ning's visit, he quickly had someone invite him into the main hall.

"My son." Ren Ning stepped forward to salute with a smile, "Long time no see, are you all right?"

The two are about the same age. When Ren Ning got married, Huo Qing also went to help them all the time, and they have a good personal relationship with each other.

"Come here, what gift do you bring?" He laughed, "I just stay in Xingji City every day, what's wrong?"

"Ren Ning, you showed enough limelight yesterday. It is estimated that no one in Xingji City does not know your name now."

Ren Ning didn't care.

The team passed by in a hurry yesterday, and the people knew his name, but it didn't mean they could recognize him.

Huo Qing clicked his tongue and changed the subject.

"I have carefully studied the battle report you sent back, and I have to admire General Wei's foresight. But some details are not very clear."

He asked some questions about what he cared about.

Ren Ning answered those who could answer, and did not explain clearly what he could not answer.

Huo Qing nodded, not surprised.

In the final analysis, Ren Ning is still just a middle-level general, only responsible for the charge on the small battlefield.There are many things he doesn't know.

Even so, Huo Qing's smile was full of envy.

"It's good to be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield. I'm like a canary..."

As the son of Duke Zhen, he doesn't have to work hard on the battlefield, and he can inherit the position of Duke in the end.

But on the other hand, Huo Qing is actually the proton of the Huo clan in the imperial capital.

Unless he succeeds Lord Zhennan, he needs to go to Yanfeng Fortress to defend the fort.Otherwise, if you want to leave Xingji City, it depends on Emperor Changxing's mood.

After tidying up his mood, Huo Qing patted Ren Ning's shoulder with emotion.

"You're still amazing. After the statistics of military achievements this time, I think a titled general won't be able to escape."

Ren Ning is also not modest: "I hope so."

He joked to himself with a smile: "When I left the imperial capital last year and went south, I once boasted in front of Yingpan without knowing the heights. I said that when I return home next time, the Ren's house on the lintel can be replaced by the General's Mansion."

"Now that I have returned to Xingji City, I must make my dreams come true. Otherwise, I will be ashamed to go home and see her..."

The two laughed.

Deserved.

The sound of the cane being tapped sounded.

Princess Yiguang smiled all over her face and strode in with the female officer.

"grandmother."

"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

Ren Ning and the two saluted one after another.

"No need to be polite, sit down and chat!"

After ordering the two to sit down, Princess Yiguang asked a few words about Ren Ning's body, and said straight to the point: "Boy Ning, how much water is there in the casualty data on the battle report?"

Ren Ning was taken aback.

After the battle in Hushougu, Wei Junqian and Guan Luping were very optimistic about his future, so after the battle report was written, they let Ren Ning take a look at it.

"Returning to Your Highness, what kind of battle reports are you looking at?"

The battle of Nanfeng has been fought for almost a month, and there are many victory and battle reports sent back to the imperial capital.

Princess Yiguang thumped the crested staff in Zhu's hand: "Of course it's the battle report for the attack on Song Ding's city later."

More than 40 years ago, when she and General Huo Zheng were about to attack the city, they were ordered by the then emperor to move back to the court, which became a great regret in Princess Yiguang's heart.

"Return to Your Highness," Ren Ning said sincerely, "There is very little moisture, almost none."

The battle report was discussed and written by all the generals together.He was there at the time, so he knew all about it.Casualty figures are almost in the single digits.

Princess Yiguang felt lost, "There are so few casualties, and my palace has only been in the barracks for a few years. Are the siege machines so powerful now?"

"Your Highness is worrying too much." Ren Ning came to his senses and quickly waved his hands with a smile.

"Our Yunchui's siege equipment is more powerful than that of Nanfeng. But the soldiers and people of Nanfeng are not willing to defend the city is also a reason. The northern city was just broken, and the defenders of the western city abandoned the city and fled. And to help the people defending the city There are even fewer. This allowed us to attack the city wall with such force."

"Of course, our raincoats and rubber shoes also played a big role when we climbed the city wall."

These two things have been written in great detail in the battle report, so he won't repeat them.

After a long while, Princess Yiguang said with emotion: "You don't know how to grow your head. You can actually make something light and completely waterproof like a raincoat."

In fact, raincoats are not very easy to sell in the imperial capital, but rubber tires are sold like crazy, and the supply has been in short supply.

Several of them made a fortune from it.

"Remember to come up with any good ideas in the future."

Ren Ning took out the blueprint with a chuckle: "It happens that the boy has some new things in his hand and wants to ask His Highness to help find someone to build."
