The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 69 Preparations before the war
"Sister!"

"Sister!"

The two children came in one after another. Zheng Wenping shouted happily, then stood aside obediently and asked thoughtfully: "Did my sister's trip to Qingzhou go well?"

Zheng Qiuyun looked up at him and saw that Zheng Wenping's baby had lost weight and had a handsome face, as modest as jade.She smiled and replied, "It went well."

Zheng Wu'an was tall and mighty, and his voice seemed to come from his Dantian, "My brother and I miss my sister very much, and we are afraid that she won't get used to it and will be bullied."

"No one bullies me."

Zheng Qiuyun pulled Chu Lian over and introduced them, "This is the escort I hired. You must call her Sister Chu."

Chu Lian was stunned for a moment, her eyes wandering between Zheng Wuan and Zheng Qiuyun. She suggested, "Otherwise, I'd better call him Brother Zheng."

Zheng Wuan scratched his head and said shyly, "Sister Chu, I'm just mature, but I'm not very old."

Zheng Wu'an has well-developed tendons and a dark complexion. He really doesn't blame Chu Lian for saying the wrong thing.

At noon, the families dispersed, and Zheng Qiuyun took them to Qingyuan Restaurant to eat, so as not to waste any more time cooking.

Zheng Wenping said: "Sister, Wu'an Prefectural Examination has passed. Wu An and I plan to go to the capital in August to take the provincial examination. By then, we can go to Brother Yuan Qi."

Zheng Qiuyun put down his chopsticks. If his memory is correct, it was probably when the eldest prince was drunk and the maniacs set fire to Zhutian Village.

"It's already July, do you want to leave early?"

Zheng Wuan had an idea in his mind, "Don't worry, I still have to make some preparations."

Zheng Wenping laughed and said, "My sister doesn't know something. In addition to riding, carbine, and rifle shooting, the Ministry of War test also tests talent, appearance, and speech. Wu An was afraid that his appearance was not up to standard and his speech was too loud, which would offend the nobleman. "

Zheng Wu'an is not as elegant as Zheng Wenping. He has the appearance of a typical military commander, with a tall figure, a plump nose, a gallbladder nose, and dark skin.His voice was loud and powerful, and he shouted angrily, fearing that it would frighten the children.

Zheng Qiuyun comforted him, "Wu Zhuangyuan can't be a pretty boy. You also have your own handsomeness."

Zheng Wuan smiled shyly. Because of his dark skin, you couldn't tell whether his face was red or not.

The two children were preparing for the imperial examination, and Zheng Qiuyun also had to prepare for the coming war.While she had nothing to do, she went to see the tomb built by Craftsman Li again, and told him the areas that needed to be rebuilt.

Then, Zheng Qiuyun called Sun Peng and asked him to count how many people were practicing with him.

This is still the era of cold weapons, so Zheng Qiuyun invited a blacksmith to help her in the tomb.This thing has a long range, high accuracy, and a reasonable cost.

At the end of July, it used to be this time to prepare garlic seeds, but Zheng Qiuyun had not made any move at this time.Feng Da couldn't bear his temper and came to look for Zheng Qiuyun.

"Qiuyun, people say they want to grow more garlic this year. They want to order garlic seeds from me. When will we get back to them?"

Zheng Qiuyun had just sent people to move some of the grain into the tomb, and his body was covered with dew from the grass.When she heard that Feng Da came to look for him in a hurry because of this matter, she stopped wiping her clothes.

After thinking about it, Zheng Qiuyun said, "Just wait, don't rush it."

Feng Da couldn't help but ask: "Qiuyun, can you tell me, what are we waiting for?"

Zheng Qiuyun frowned slightly, "I came from Qingzhou and heard some rumors. I don't know if you believe it or not."

"Qiuyun, I believe whatever you say." Zheng Qiuyun continued: "The Chrysalis people are active over there. General Pei, who drove the Chrysalis people away before, has now gone to Mobei. I don't know when the Chrysalis people will come over. We have to prepare early.”

"To tell you the truth, all the money I earned from selling garlic was used to sell grain. If you believe me, tell your family to collect grain quickly."

Feng Da did believe in what Zheng Qiuyun said, but for such a big thing to come out of her mouth suddenly, Feng Da couldn't accept it for a while.

"No, the locusts have indeed been harassing Qingzhou for a long time, but they have never been attacked."

Zheng Qiuyun said: "That's it. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you."

Feng Da came out of Zheng Qiuyun's house in a daze, still digesting what she said.Comte called him face to face, but Feng Da turned a deaf ear.

Conde patted him on the shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"

Feng Da's expression was blank, "Qiu Yun said, the larvae are about to attack."

"what?"

Feng Da suddenly came back to his senses after finishing speaking, "Qiu Yun never said she missed it. She said the locusts were coming soon. They must be coming soon. I have to buy food."

He stopped reminiscing with Conde and hurried home, took all his money and went to the grain mill to buy food.

Seeing him buying so much grain, the shopkeeper of the grain shop was puzzled, "Feng Da, why did you buy so much rice, millet, and rice?"

Feng Da told the truth frankly, "Qiu Yun said that the locusts are afraid that they will come over and ask me to collect food."

When he confessed, the shop owner thought he was joking.They pay grain taxes to support officers and soldiers so that they can defend the country during war.There are still soldiers at the border, how could the worms attack?
Feng Da didn't care whether he believed it or not, he bought the food and hid it anyway.After a while, Sun Shaoyan came to buy food again, and his explanation was exactly the same as Feng Da's.Then came Kong De and Zhao Dahu.Finally, many people came to the grain mill to rob grain.

The city was full of uproar and uproar, and Qingyun Academy was discussing this matter.A fellow student asked Zheng Wenping if the maniacs were really going to attack him.Zheng Wenping didn't know either, so the mountain chief sent Zheng Wenping to ask Zheng Qiuyun.

He returned home and found that Zheng Wuan was already there.The two of them waited for Zheng Qiuyun's answer.

Zheng Qiuyun said: "I never said that the locusts were coming."

Zheng Wenping just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zheng Qiuyun say again, "I'm just saying that the people are restless. Your brother Yuan Qi has gone to Mobei. The eldest prince is guarding Qingzhou now. We have to make plans early."

Zheng Wuan asked: "Can the prince still not be able to defend Qingzhou?"

Zheng Qiuyun told him: "This eldest prince rode a horse in the street and almost crushed a child to death. It was your brother Yuan Qi who saved that child. He didn't like the dancing girls and wanted to drown them. It was your brother Yuan Qi who saved that child." Two girls.”

She asked back: "Do you think the eldest prince can be relied on?"

The two children shook their heads together, and Zheng Wu'an said firmly: "Sister, don't be afraid. If someone comes, I will protect you and your brother."

Zheng Qiuyun touched his head and said, "I just made preparations in advance, but I still hope that the nymphs will not destroy our home."

After Zheng Wenping and Zheng Wuan replied to the academy's mountain chief, the mountain chief also seriously considered the possibility of an invasion by the larvae.After thinking about it, they asked the students to go back and inform their families, build buildings and buy food.

With such a big commotion in Linjiang County, the county magistrate couldn't sit still and discussed it with his staff all night long.They didn't know the eldest prince, but they knew Zheng Qiuyun.After repeated analysis, they came to the conclusion that the eldest prince should not be able to defend Qingzhou.
