The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 857 Arrangement
To Su Yunduo's deep surprise, this convoy was extremely large, and the people who came with the convoy surprised and delighted Su Yunduo even more.

"Uncle, why did you come?" Su Yunduo was really overjoyed when he saw the person in front of the convoy who was riding straight towards him on horseback.

Ning Zhongping jumped off the horse seven or eight steps away from Su Yunduo, just like Yang Aoqun when he saw Su Yunduo for the first time, he looked her up and down, and after making sure that Su Yunduo was all right, he let out a long sigh of relief, He glanced at her and said, "You can be here, why can't I come?"

Apparently Ning Zhongping was a little displeased with Su Yunduo's hastily following the rider regardless of his own safety, so he had to purse his lips and show a flattering smile at Ning Zhongping, intending to change the topic to the motorcade.

Before she could open her mouth, she saw a few more horses rushing out from behind the convoy, all of them were acquaintances - the second master Lu Yue, the third master Lu Tong, the fourth master Lu Jinlin, the fifth Lord Lu Jinchen, the last two are actually Wang Tingjin and Zisu couple!
This is too incredible!

Seeing Ning Zhongping, Su Yunduo was both surprised and happy. Seeing the masters of Zhen Guogong's mansion, Su Yunduo was stunned for a moment.

The fourth master and the fifth master can also understand that, as the new generation of men in the government of Zhen Guo, they need opportunities to practice.

But why the two uncles Lu Yue and Lu Tong came here, Su Yunduo really couldn't figure it out.

These two uncles have lived a comfortable life in Beijing for many years. Although they have persisted in practicing kung fu, they are already a little fatter, especially the third master Lu Tong, who weighs about 200 kilograms now. Can they still go to the battlefield?

And why did Zisu and his wife come here?

Before Su Yunduo came to Northern Xinjiang, he not only entrusted them with the management of "Yunshang" and "Shu Mengxuan", but also gave them some other affairs. The husband and wife came to Northern Xinjiang together, and who will manage the affairs of the capital?

Although there were all kinds of worries in his heart, Su Yunduo was naturally a little happy to see Zisu in Beidi after half a year of separation.

Seeing that the expression on Su Yunduo's face changed several times, even if Ning Zhongping couldn't fully guess what she was thinking, he still guessed a lot, and after some greetings, he explained Su Yunduo's doubts.

It turned out that the Holy Majesty received the urgent information sent back to the capital by Lu Jinkang, and at the same time he also received the information from the spies planted in the Beichen Kingdom's court. The two intelligences were combined, and the wolfish ambitions of the Beichen Kingdom were clearly revealed.

Although Beichen Kingdom has not yet formally declared war on Dongling Kingdom, the news that they have successively entered Beijing has confirmed the fact that Beichen Kingdom's soldiers and horses are gathering at the border between the two countries.

But even so, the meeting was still divided into two factions, one was the main combat faction headed by the Duke of Zhenguo, and the other was the main peace faction headed by Lin Xiangye. The two factions fought fiercely at the meeting.

Although the Holy Majesty has the intention to send troops to the northern border, because the southern border and the northwest border are not stable recently, the Holy Majesty really has more than enough energy, and has summoned Lu Mingyang and Lu Da to the palace for many times. However, in fact, [-] elite soldiers were drawn from the West Camp, led by Ning Zhongping, to come to northern Xinjiang on the grounds of escorting food, grass and weapons.

Lu Yue and Lu Tong came to northern Xinjiang with grain and grass weapons as officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household respectively. This was not only the result of Lu Mingyang's request to the Holy Master, but also the meaning of the Holy Majesty himself.

If there is no war in northern Xinjiang, the role of these two uncles will not be great. If there is a war, according to Ning Zhongping, the role of these two uncles will be great.

They are officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households respectively. As the supervisors of food, grass and weapons ordered by the Holy Majesty, when wars start in northern Xinjiang, they can dispatch troops to nearby cities according to the needs of the war and rely on the tokens given to them by the Holy Majesty. Summon food and grass to support Lu Jinkang.

After hearing Ning Zhongping's explanation, Su Yunduo let out a long sigh of relief.

Compared with the war, Su Yunduo is more worried about the lack of support from the rear and the army's interruption of the supply of food and grass. Now it is confirmed that the Holy Master and the Zhen Guogong have made various arrangements for this war, plus her own arrangements , Presumably military supplies and food and grass are still guaranteed.

Su Yunduo brought Ziyue out this time in private, not only to meet Yang Aoqun's convoy, because a large number of military uniforms made Su Yunduo deeply felt the lack of materials in Boni City. Before departure, she would be able to bring I brought all the bank notes with me, and the purpose was to purchase all available materials along the way and transport them to Boni City.

The problem of garrisoning in the valley has been solved. The convoys from Geshan Village, Yanshan Mansion, and Chaozhong to Boni City also gathered in the valley. The next step is how to transport these materials to Boni City safely, and Su Procurement along the way in Yunduo's plan also needs to continue.

The motorcade started again, and Su Yunduo had time to talk to Zisu.

"Received the master's letter, and packed and shipped all the cotton clothes in Jinxiufang according to the master's wishes. In addition, Brother Jin also purchased a large amount of thick cloth near the capital. Although the quantity is quite large, due to time constraints, it is not as fast as the master requested. There was still a considerable gap in the quantity, so Brother Jin discussed with the servant girl and simply bought along the way. Considering that Brother Jin was too busy alone, the servant girl simply handed over the shop to Xiaoqian and followed Brother Jin all the way. Going all the way to buy, the effect is really good, although I am a bit busy, the cotton and cloth I received are cheaper and better than those near the capital." Zisu said while taking out the account book of buying cotton and cloth all the way.

Su Yunduo took over the account book and looked through it. Although she hadn't had the chance to see the cotton and cloth purchased by Zisu and Wang Tingjin along the way, the price was really good. Compared with the cotton and cloth purchased by Wang Tingjin near the capital, it was nearly two times cheaper. become.

As for the quality of cotton and cloth, Zisu and his wife are in charge, so Su Yunduo is naturally at ease.

Stretching out his hand and patted Zisu's hand, which was obviously rough due to hard work, Su Yunduo said with emotion: "It's been a hard journey!"

Zisu's heart felt hot. It was very cold and freezing all the way, even if she stayed in the carriage all the time, it was hard enough, not to mention shopping and arranging the carriage along the way. The hard work was really hard, but the husband and wife did it willingly.

In order not to affect the speed of the entire convoy, Su Yunduo would leave the team from time to time with Ziyue, Zisu and Wang Tingjin.

Because of what happened at Ancheng Station, in order to ensure Su Yunduo's arrangements, as long as Su Yunduo leaves the main force, Chunfeng will definitely bring a team of troops to guard Su Yunduo himself, which makes Su Yunduo both helpless and at ease.

The battle with Beichen Kingdom's hidden troops in the valley has already spread.

The news that Beichen Kingdom sent soldiers outside Boni City and clamored to take back Boni City and Phoenix City and drove Dongling Kingdom back to Yongcheng also spread with the people who were constantly evacuated from Boni City. After leaving Boni City, the more tense the situation is, the less supplies Su Yunduo can purchase, and the higher the price naturally.

In order to ensure the need for wartime supplies, Yang Aoqun, who was just getting better, came to Su Yunduo: "Sister-in-law, this is not possible! It will take time and money, and you will not receive anything. Why don't sister-in-law give me a purchase order, and I will take it with you?" Go back to Yanshan Mansion or go further south to purchase."

Su Yunduo was very anxious because he hadn't purchased any materials for two consecutive days, and he would say in his heart that it would be better if he was promoted in northern Xinjiang.

It's just that when Lu Mingyang handed Shenggui over to her, he said that Shenggui was someone who was ordered by the big house, so before Su Yunduo followed Lu Jinkang to northern Xinjiang, he handed Shenggui over to Lu Da.

I remember the war with Beichen Kingdom a few years ago, the Duke of Zhenguo relied on his promotion to continuously send food and medicinal materials to Northern Xinjiang.

Yang Aoqun's proposal could be said to be in the arms of Su Yunduo, but Yang Aoqun's haggard face still made Su Yunduo shake his head.

Even if Lu Jinzhen was only the son of a concubine from the Zhen Guo Mansion, it was only in the Zhen Guo Mansion.

In Northern Xinjiang Lu Jinzhen is the vanguard general, and Yang Aoqun is the wife of the Northern Xinjiang army's vanguard general, how could Su Yunduo let her do such a thing.

Besides, who knows if there are any soldiers of Beichen Kingdom lurking in other places in Dongling Kingdom, Yang Aoqun's safety is equally important.

Of course, the purchase of materials to ensure military supplies is very important to the war, and this matter still needs to be arranged carefully.

"I will arrange this matter, the second younger brother and sister can rest at ease." Su Yunduo rejected Yang Aoqun's repeated pleadings.

When the war was about to break out, whether it was herself, Yang Aoqun, or even any family member of the northern border army generals, they had to ensure their own safety, and she would never let Yang Aoqun fall into danger again.

At this time, Zisu stood up: "Leave this matter to the servants and husbands."

There was a gleam in Su Yunduo's eyes, and soon fell silent again.

Zisu and his wife are indeed the most suitable candidates at present, but they have been very hard and tired all the way, Su Yunduo really can't bear it, besides, she also doesn't want anything to happen to Zisu and his wife, naturally she must consider their safety.

It's just that she has very few guards at her disposal now, and it's difficult to send more people to protect the safety of Zisu and his wife.

Although Yang Aoqun felt that he was the most suitable person to handle this matter, after Su Yunduo's private explanation, he also understood that Su Yunduo's concerns were correct, and they could not act willfully in the face of war.

However, Su Yunduo was short of manpower, but Yang Aoqun had plenty of manpower. This time, in order to escort a few children, she brought out all the fifty guards given to her by her natal family. good hand.

Although a few of them were injured in the battle of the valley, they did not damage the strength of these guards. They originally planned to let these guards continue to return to her dowry village to stand by after they arrived in Yongcheng.

Thinking of the fact that these fifty guards were all gearing up for the opportunity to be escorted more than half a month ago, and knowing that they would go back to Zhuangzi to spend time after returning to Yongcheng, all of them were exhausted, why not use them, presumably the guards are also very excited. happy to!
Since Yang Aoqun had this plan, he hurriedly called the head of the guard to discuss it. As she expected, she just mentioned this meaning, and the head of the guard said repeatedly: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the master!"

Well, this is really a good thing you want and I'm happy too!
Considering that there will be a lot of supplies purchased this time, Su Yunduo felt that the strength of these fifty guards was still weak, so he discussed with Yang Aoqun's temporary escort from Yanshan Mansion: "There are more guards now, so safety can be guaranteed." Guarantee, this is the end of your bodyguard mission."

A slight displeasure flashed in the eyes of the head of the bodyguard, but he didn't dare to express it. After all, Su Yunduo and Yang Aoqun's identities were there. The Duke's Mansion, the Marshal of Northern Xinjiang?
Such an astute person as Su Yunduo, he certainly did not miss the displeasure in the eyes of the head of the escort, and signaled Xiao Yi, who was standing quietly behind Yang Aoqun, to hand over the banknotes he had prepared a long time ago, and then said with a smile: What I’m talking about with you is that the bodyguards will be completed only when they are sent to Boni City, but since we have safely received the goods, the task of the Escort Bureau has naturally been completed. Thanks to the bodyguards of the Escort Bureau for their hard work in protecting the bodyguards.”

The head of the escort took the bank note, and a smile appeared on his face.

Su Yunduo can understand the mood of the bodyguards. Bodyguards are living a life of licking blood on their knives. Now it is the end of the year. If they are not protecting military supplies, they will definitely not take this situation at such a time. trip dart.

Yang Aoqun saw that Su Yunduo only paid the bodyguard money that had been negotiated in advance, and did not mention the matter of continuing to hire bodyguards to protect him, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

It seems that the New Year will be ten days away, and the shops will be closed for a period of time before and after the Chinese New Year. After the shops are closed, even if they have money, they will not be able to buy the supplies they want.

Su Yunduo gave Yang Aoqun a look, telling her to be quiet, she is waiting for the head of the bodyguard to enter the urn by himself!
Yang Aoqun had no choice but to be patient.

The head of the dart counted the silver bills in his hand, and found that there was a lot of dart silver instead of too much. A flash of surprise flashed in his heart, and he confirmed again and again that there was indeed an excess of 50 taels. I gave 50 taels more."

Xiaoyi didn't say much, and took the 50 taels of silver bills.

The bodyguard put away the bodyguard money, clasped his fists at Su Yunduo and Yang Aoqun, and said, "Thank you two ladies! In the future, I will invite you two ladies to visit my Shengyuan Escort Bureau more often, but I will do my best if you have something to ask."

Su Yunduo secretly smiled, what I was waiting for was your words!

"As for me, I still have a business, but I don't know if your Shengyuan Escort is willing to accept it?" Su Yunduo showed a faint smile on his face.

The head of the bodyguard's eyes lit up. Although what he said just now was meant to be polite, there was also a hint of clinging in it.

Although the Yanshan Mansion is some distance away from the northern border, it is still in the northern land. Whoever has the greatest influence in the northern land is naturally the Marshal's mansion, and the person in front of him is the marshal's wife. Shuai's mansion is of great benefit to Shengyuan Escort Bureau and has no harm at all!
"That's what the old man said in a hurry, Ma'am, but I have something to ask, and I, Shengyuan Escort, will do my best!" The head of the escort clasped his fists again, and his tone was a little more eager.

At this time, Ning Zhongping hadn't seen Su Yunduo and others catch up for a long time, so he turned his head to check the situation. This look made him see an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time: "You, you are the leader of the Lin escort!"

Lin Biaotou followed the reputation, was taken aback for a moment, and soon widened his eyes: "Ning Biaotou! Oh, no, no, no, now I should call you Master Ning, who is this?"

Ning Zhongping pointed to Su Yunduo: "This is my niece. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I came back to look for her. I didn't expect to meet Lin Biaotou here. We haven't seen each other for several years. Lin Biaotou still has the same style." !"

Hearing that Su Yunduo is Ning Zhongping's niece, Escort Lin was taken aback for a second, and then remembered the gossip he had heard before, which turned out to be true!
