Chapter 5 It's time to drink

Princess Rong An froze for a moment, and sneered: "Then what good is it to me if I live? If the real princess is lost, will my fake princess still be valued? It's nothing more than my death, and the Su family will not be able to explain it. Bar?"

Su Nancheng sat opposite her: "Second sister probably doesn't like to listen to those words of persuasion, have you heard too much these days? Then I just ask second sister, you are only fifteen this year, and you just died like this, are you willing? Don't say it Su family, don't say anything, just talk about yourself, are you willing?"

"Second elder sister doesn't have to think about repaying Su Su's family with her own death. If you die now, I'm afraid the wedding procession will not stop. Just drag a maid to dress up, and she will still be Princess Rong An. At that time, the second sister My sister died in vain."

Princess Rong An didn't expect to hear such words, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"I'm not scaring my second sister, it's a fact." Su Nancheng spread his hands.

"Then tell me what to do? Even if I go to Beiyi, I will live? The seventh princess has only been married for more than a year, and the previous six princesses...and the princess... how many have died? Could it be possible to survive?" Princess Rong An's tears rolled down her face.

Su Nancheng sighed: "I don't know if you can live, but there are a few words that I can tell my second sister. Beiyi is now in great power, and it is not uncommon to be a princess of Dayuan. So when my second sister goes to Beiyi, she will lose her identity Let alone a fake princess, even a real princess will lose her identity."

"Be honest with your husband and tell him that you want to live. Serve him well and bow your head. Unless you meet a murderous person, as long as you understand how much you have to give up, there is always a way to survive."

"Huh? Seventh brother persuaded me to give up my identity? Then what meaning do I have to the Su family and Da Yuan?" Princess Rong An asked in surprise.

"What do you want? Sending you to Beiyi can stop them from going south? Or can they stop the annual looting? You are willing to die, and now you still have to think about the benefits of the Su family. Just figure it out for yourself.”

"In the past, I really didn't realize that my seventh brother was like this." Princess Rong An took a deep breath: "As you said, I actually think it's good to be alive."

"Since that's the case, can I ask my seventh brother to take care of my aunt after returning to Beijing?"

Su Nancheng nodded after looking at her for a long time: "Try your best."

The outsiders don't know what's going on, so they only think that persuasion is effective.

Princess Rong An gradually recovered, and the journey went much smoother.

"Let's set up camp here today. Tomorrow will be the boundary of Su County, everyone should be careful tomorrow." General Zhu stopped his horse and said.

Everyone agrees.

After dismounting, General Fei said: "The people His Majesty sent to investigate the disappearance of the Ninth Princess should all be in Su County. Su County should be safe now. However, Su County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and those robbers may not be easy to catch."

A normal society cannot be so chaotic.

But in the past 20 years, Dayuan has deteriorated day by day, which is why there are such rampant bandits in the country.

Just after leaving the capital, there were bandits looting, and one can imagine other places.

From today onwards, after leaving Gyeonggi, one can probably see the real status quo in Daeyuan.

The weather is still cold now, the further north we go, the colder it gets.

Lian Sheng wrapped himself in a cotton coat and asked, "My lord, are you cold?" After all, it was cold in the tent, and there was still wind.

Su Nancheng shook his head, after going out for activities these few days, his health is actually much better.

"Is Mr. Su there?"

Someone outside the tent shouted.

Su Nancheng responded, "I'm here."

"It's good that Mr. Su is here. General Fei invited you to go. He said that someone had beaten some rabbits. They are over there and asked you to go too."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll go right away." Su Nancheng got up, put on his cloak, and went there.

The place to camp is on the edge of a small forest, next to a water source.

The princess's tent is in the middle, and the generals, the Su family and the officials are on the second floor.

Soldiers are on the perimeter.

Su Nancheng followed the soldier leading the way to the front of General Zhu's tent.

"Here we come." General Hu laughed and said, "Old Fei said to call you, but I think I must call you too. Are you hungry? Why are you so skinny?"

"General Hu made fun of me. When I was a child, I was born prematurely and was weak. I didn't grow tall in the first few years. I only grew tall last year. This time, I stopped gaining weight." Su Nancheng went to sit next to them.

"That's too weak, you guys from aristocratic families..."

General Fei kicked him: "You'll turn your good words into bullshit."

Su Nancheng chuckled: "General Hu's words are rough and reasonable. Thinking about the past ten years, I couldn't study well, and I couldn't practice martial arts. It was really useless."

"We can't study, but martial arts can teach you." General Hu slapped him, almost knocking Su Nancheng into the ground.

"Hiss, good..." Su Nancheng's expression changed, it really hurt.

General Fei laughed and pulled General Hu away: "It's a bit late for you to practice martial arts now, and it's hard to achieve anything. But it's not impossible to keep fit. We have to wait until we come back."

While talking, someone came to invite them to eat meat.

"Drinking alcohol is a big taboo when you're out in the army, and you can't take a bite. Eat meat." General Zhu said.

None of the officials were here, it seemed that General Fei really liked Su Nancheng.

Everyone was talking and eating barbecue, and the atmosphere was not bad.

Slowly, he turned to talk about the past, and then brought up the old man who was somewhat similar to Su Nancheng that General Fei mentioned.

"The two of us came out of our hometown to serve as soldiers. I was eleven and he was ten." General Fei took a sip of rough tea: "The kid with a big fart, the family is poor, and he is hungry. He can't get enough to eat. When he goes to the battlefield, he just fills his stomach." The life of the trench. But neither of us accepted our fate. Just like this, we fought one after another, and we didn’t die.”

"During the battle in Tingzhou, I was sixteen and he was fifteen. We both thought it was the same as before. At that time, we were young and foolishly thought that when we returned home after ten years of fighting, we would be a great general. Unexpectedly, Tingzhou was defeated. General Wan and his four sons were all killed in battle. Half of the [-] army was lost. Countless people were injured and disabled."

"He was able to live because he saved me. I hugged his stabbed body and didn't know what to say. He only said that his old mother died of illness and there was no one at home. But I still have my parents and younger siblings."

General Fei's eyes were red: "Damn it, how could he know that my hometown was slaughtered by Beiyi people just four months after his death. I didn't even have a single relative left behind."

"Don't say these things, I'm a rough person, but I can also see that Da Yuan is not expected to come." General Hu sneered and took a sip of tea: "It's time to drink."

Su Nancheng picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground.

"This poem is really good, it should be pasted on the old emperor's face." After General Fei finished speaking, he wiped the poem with his toes.

Su Nancheng just smiled.
