When Geng Xingshuang entered the room, he looked carefully at Zhu Yan's face.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Or did I not evenly apply facial oil today?"

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "No, if you post to me in such a formal way, shouldn't I observe your emotions?"

Zhu Yan said: "I'm really not in a good mood. My father and my eldest brother are both on the battlefield. I'm worried about them. My nephew is only more than two months old. I can't bear to leave him when my eldest brother leaves."

"The eldest son has also gone?" Geng Xingshuang only knew that the prince Zhenguo had been appointed as the general, but did not know that the eldest son Zhu also went on the expedition.

"Well, my eldest brother took the initiative to volunteer." Zhu Yan said, "When I came back to clean up yesterday, my mother scolded him, but my grandfather and father both supported my eldest brother. Grandfather said that military generals go out to fight, protect the family and the country, and defend the enemy. Thousands of miles away, even if the body is wrapped in horse leather, it is natural."

"Brother Yang Liu also left this morning." Geng Xingshuang said.

Everyone knows the truth, but when your loved ones go to the battlefield, you always have endless worries.

"Are you reluctant to let go?" Zhu Yan asked, the question was too straightforward. After asking, she stared straight at Geng Xingshuang's face.

Geng Xingshuang did not feel shy and nodded generously, "I am a little reluctant to let go, but I can see from his letter that he also wants to go. I think Uncle Yang and Aunt Fengwei should also be reluctant to let go, but they will not stop them. , there is nothing we can do to stop them. In this case, they are defending the country from the enemy in the north, and we are in Ningdu City, just wait for the good news!"

Geng Xingshuang said this not only to Zhu Yan, but also to herself. Yang Qingmo was not in Ningdu City. She had to live her life as she had before. She had been depressed all morning, and it was time to cheer up.

Seeing her serious look, Zhu Yan wanted to make a joke, but seeing her serious expression, she really couldn't bear it after thinking about it, so she used these words to comfort others and comfort herself, and then said seriously: "Sister Shuang, I'm here today. You have something serious to do."

"What's the matter?"

"Although the army gathered very quickly, to outsiders it seemed that the news came too suddenly. In fact, it was not the case. The imperial court had long known that Yao Mu's army seemed to have the intention to attack Daning on a large scale. Daning and Yao Mu have been at odds over the years. Friction, there was a history of war a few years ago, so although the emperor and your lords are worried about this matter, they don’t feel the need to use Ningdu’s troops.”

generator , and even posted a message specifically inviting her to come.

After thinking about this, Geng Xingshuang sat up straight and listened carefully.

"But now they have used Ningdu's troops. Why do you think so?"

Without waiting for Geng Xingshuang's answer, Zhu Yan said: "Because we originally planned to have the two city guards in the West send more than half of their troops to support the North, but the governor of the West sent an urgent report saying that thieves were rampant in the West and not only were they robbed Killing people and pedestrians in villages and towns outside the city, and even attacking the city at night. For this reason, Fengcheng and Xiaocheng Guards not only need to strengthen their vigilance, but also need to go deep into the bandit dens to suppress the bandits. In order to ensure that Fengcheng and Xiaocheng both In order to protect the lives and property of the local people and passing merchants, the troops of the two western city guards cannot be mobilized for the time being."

It is said that it cannot be mobilized for the time being. As for when it can be mobilized, there is no clear statement.

"The world is so big that it belongs to the king. Your Majesty loves the people of the North and cannot let the people of the West face the threat of thieves. As for the troops garrisoned in other guard posts north of Ningdu, their own strength is limited, and they have to be prepared just in case... .”

Even if Zhu Yan didn't want to say this, Geng Xingshuang already understood.

If Ningdu's soldiers and horses are still defeated, the soldiers and horses from Pingcheng Road City and other places will be the fastest support. This can be regarded as leaving a trump card and a line of defense.

Therefore, Emperor Shengning directly dispatched Ningdu soldiers and horses to the north without touching the troops at the guard posts north of Ningdu City on Pingcheng Road. "But then there's a problem."

Zhu Yan said: "It's just food and grass. The Ministry of War has already prepared it. It's just cotton-padded clothes... After all, Ningdu City is not as cold as the north. The weather is fine now, but if we wait another month or two, the cold in the north will be worse than what the soldiers in Ningdu City used to do." I am afraid that the cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold will not be able to withstand the cold. I heard from my father that the Ministry of War has stepped up the purchase or sewing of cotton-padded clothes, but the quantity is far from enough, so I wonder if we can sell some of them in our store. Didn’t we buy some before? Do you want to batch cotton muslin?”

"Of course you can." Geng Xingshuang said cheerfully.

"I originally wanted to do something for Zhenyao Army, but I didn't know what to do. Now I have something to do."

Geng Xingshuang originally thought it was donated, but when it came to the details, he discovered that it was not a free donation and should be sold to the Ministry of War at the lowest price.

"The quantity required is quite large, and our store alone can barely make it, so we have to find other garment shops to work together. We are pressed for time and there is not enough cotton and cotton cloth, so we have to buy it urgently."

Others may not be willing to do this kind of unprofitable business, but in the palace there are Concubine Xin, Concubine Min, Concubine Yao, the fifth princess, and the sixth princess presiding over it, and outside the palace there are the third princess, the fourth prince, Princess Shanning, and Zhen Zhen. The eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion worked hard for this matter, trying to get two cotton-padded clothes for each of the soldiers on the front line before the cold winter came. Not to mention, they got it together immediately. At least there was a charter.

To this end, the third princess specially held a banquet and sang a play called "Yunshan Ji", which sang the story about Baicang City in Yunshan Ji.

"Sixth Sister, this is the script written by Brother Yang Liu!"

As soon as he heard the title of the play, Geng Xingchen immediately whispered in Geng Xingshuang's ear.

"Maybe the same name." Geng Xingshuang was not sure at first.

But when the young student on the stage started singing the first line, Geng Xingshuang knew that what he was singing was the book "Yunshan Ji" written by Yang Qingmo.

In the Yunshan Chronicles, there is a description of Yuncang City where the protagonist and a group of people are not used to it because they have never been to such a cold place. Some people in the team even had their legs and feet frozen and needed to have one of their feet amputated. To survive.

This is just the background of the story. The following storyline contains both heart-stirring heroic spirit and bravery, as well as bizarre and dangerous twists and turns. The storylines are interlocking and make you want to stop.

During the whole play, except for the clattering of gongs and drums and the babbling singing voices on the stage, there was almost no noise in the entire theater. Geng Xingyu and Zhu Yan, who had watched Yunshan Ji, wanted to discuss it with Geng Xingshuang several times. For this plot, evaluate the singing from the storybook to the stage. Where did the singing go well? Where did it fail to express the inner emotions of the protagonist at that time? They were all embarrassed to speak because of the quiet atmosphere.

In less than an hour, the story was not over, but the play was over.

"Gone?"

"It's gone!"

"Why is it gone?"

Geng Xingshuang heard that some people were confused, some were surprised, and some stood up directly to ask the third princess.

At this time, the third princess walked to the center of the stage.
