The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

On this day, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.

Xing'er was swinging on the swing when Asakusa came to report: "Princess, Lord Xiaoyao is back!"

One person, one rider, coming on horseback.

Xing'er stood at the gate, looking at the heroic man in white clothes on the horse, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Xu Youran, thank you for your love, Xing'er is sorry for you in this life!

"Brother! You're back!" She waved vigorously, and waved again, welcoming the return of her elder brother like a younger sister.

Xu Youran landed lightly and went to the northwest for half a year. Compared with before, it was a little darker and rougher.However, he is also more heroic and more masculine!

What a man!I hope that in the near future, he can find his own happiness, and wish him a happy little family!

Myolie sighed deeply in her heart!

"Yes, Sister Xing'er, Big Brother is back!" Xu Youran strode forward, opened her arms, and gently hugged Xing'er.But in an instant, that is, about five seconds, he let go quickly.

Xing'er was already married, even though he couldn't help it, he had to suppress the strong desire to hug her tightly and for a long time.However, even though she was married, she still hadn't consummated the house.In three years, he didn't have no chance at all, he was willing to wait patiently, waiting for the one in ten thousand chance.

After the dinner, when everyone was drinking tea and chatting, Xu Youran announced the good news: "Xing'er, Dongfang Yunshu is amazing now, and she made another great contribution in the northwest, and she actually captured the Prince of Tatar alive! "

Chai Yao's eyes lit up: "Prince Tatar? I remember that there is only one prince left among the Tatars. In this way, the king of Tatar has to surrender to our country for this son!"

Xu Youyang nodded: "Yes, the Tatar Dynasty has sent envoys to the northwest military camp with a large amount of gold and silver treasures, asking for the exchange of princes. However, Dongfang Langyue resolutely refused, and let the Tatars King Tartar showed enough sincerity to come to see His Majesty in person."

"That is, the Tatars and the Turks have harassed the border of our Anlan country for hundreds of years. If they want to shake hands and redeem the prince, they must move the border back by at least fifty miles!" Shen Jie sneered and said to the Tatars His wishful thinking is both ridiculous and hateful.

Move the national border back a hundred miles. This boundary is exactly the border between Anlan Kingdom and the Tatars 100 years ago!Within the range of one hundred miles, there are five cities, three big rivers that are constantly rushing through the seasons, and more than a dozen lush mountains.For the Northwest where resources are scarce and rain is scarce, it is a huge wealth.

Mu Qingfeng praised: "Yes! Now, it's time to take back the land that originally belonged to the Anlan Kingdom. Letting the little Tatar Kingdom occupy it for 100 years is enough to make people feel humiliated and depressed!"

Xing'er asked with concern: "Sister Yun Shu is not young anymore, it's time to get married. Now that she has made great contributions again, it's time to return to the capital. It's not a problem to stay at the border all the time. I'll leave tomorrow Go and invite the Holy One, and ask the Holy One to order Sister Yun Shu to be called back!"

Xu Youran said: "Dongfang Yunshu fell in love with the Northwest. She said that she would take root in the Northwest for the rest of her life, and wanted to settle down in the Northwest! Before I returned to Beijing, she had already gone to Qianfengling, and started to build cities and passes there."

"Qianfengling? Isn't that the place where the royal court of the Tatars used to be? Now, is it already part of the Anlan Kingdom?" Xing'er felt joy in her heart, and was sincerely happy for the soldiers at the northwest border. Qianfeng Ridges have been withdrawn, and it will be difficult for the Tatars to stir up storms in the northwest!

Shen Jie nodded and said with a smile: "One month ago, Qianfengling was taken back, and the Holy Majesty has allocated 1 taels of silver to the Northwest Army Camp to build the Qianfengling Pass!"

"It's just that the money to build the city hasn't been found yet. The main reason I came back this time is to raise funds to build the city and the fortress!" Xu Youran said solemnly, "Qianfengling Mountain High Forest The land is dense, the land is sparsely populated, and without a strong city, at least a dozen blockhouses must be built, and more than [-] well-equipped checkpoints must be set up, otherwise it is easy to be successfully attacked by Tatars or Turks! In this way, the former Efforts will be in vain!"

Xing'er said: "After years of drought, floods and wars, the national treasury is now empty, so I really can't afford that much money. How about this, my younger siblings and I will donate 1 taels together, and in the name of father and mother, each Donate another 3000 taels, a total of 6000 taels of silver!"

Well done!Xu Youran nodded and smiled.

"I will also donate 3000 taels, and I will encourage relatives and friends to come and donate enthusiastically!" The son led the fundraising, and Mrs. Xu naturally also enthusiastically supported it.

Old Master Xu said with a hearty smile: "I donate 1 taels, and in the name of You Yang, I will donate another 3000 taels!"

Mrs. Tai was not far behind: "I will also donate 3000 taels!"

Mu Qingfeng's parents also donated 1000 taels each, and everyone else rushed to donate.Even the domestic servants and guards didn't pull any of them, ten taels, five taels, the accumulation of less made more.

When it came to the issue of fundraising, Myolie discussed with Xu Youran: "Why don't we hold a fundraising event at Xiangmanlou, and invite all of our relatives and friends to have dinner at Xiangmanlou. How about it?"

"Very good! That's it!" Xu Youran followed suit.

This donation must first be approved by the Holy Spirit.

Early the next morning, Xing'er led Li'er to the palace.

"Oh, little Li'er is here, the longer she grows, the more beautiful she is! Come here, uncle will give you a good thing!" An Junyi waved to Li'er, and Li'er obediently stepped forward, and received a string of ruby ​​bracelets.

"It's so beautiful, thank you, Uncle Emperor!" Ruby is a rare thing in An Lan Country, and it is also Li'er's favorite.

"Go, let's go play in the Royal Garden!" Seeing Xinger's solemn expression, An Junyi knew that she must have something important to do, so he patted Li'er's head and asked the personal maid to accompany Lier to the Royal Garden up.

Li'er cheered, and she ran away without a trace.

"Girl, tell me, what's the matter?" An Junyi looked at Xing'er and asked with a smile.

Xing'er explained the donation in detail.

An Junyi nodded happily and said with a smile: "Very good! This idea is very good! The construction of the city and the bunker at the northwest border is indeed urgent, the sooner the better! The donation will be left to you and Xu Youran If you encounter any embarrassing things, just come to uncle!"

Xing'er took the opportunity to make a request: "Uncle Emperor, can this donation not be raised in the name of the imperial court? In this case, it will be more appealing to people who want to make trouble! As!"

An Junyi readily agreed, and immediately wrote a decree for her to deal with those who wanted to make trouble.

Xing'er went to see the Empress Dowager at the Palace of Compassion and Ning. When the Empress Dowager heard about it, she immediately became anxious for the concubines in the harem, and came to collect donations on the spot: "We need to step up the construction of cities and fortifications in the northwest. Now that the treasury is empty, you all do your best. , Donate your gold and silver treasures!" 15530561

Who would dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order?

Whether they were willing or not, the concubines in the harem all took out their own gold, silver and jewelry.Especially those few who competed for the lower positions, they spared no effort to strive for the top!

The large table was piled full of shiny gold, silver and jewels, which dazzled Xing'er's eyes.She quickly estimated that all these things would be worth 10 taels of silver!

10 taels!With this 10 taels, plus the 15 taels donated by Xing'er's family, Xu Youran and others, a strong fortification can be set up on the northwest border: trenches, passes, bunkers, and cavalry troops. mobile sentry.The funds raised in Xiangmanlou were used to build the city, to build a strong city that could stand for a hundred years! 13acv.

At the Xiangmanlou fundraising banquet, officers accounted for more than half. These men who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield, no matter they were poor or rich, gave generously.Those who have money donate money, and those who have no money also donate a little money, and send the children of the clan to the military camp, which is regarded as supporting the construction of the frontier!Apricot collection in one go.

On this day, an unexpected visitor came to Xinghua Village.

A 15-year-old boy came to the capital with a caravan of a tea fragrance company, holding a jade pendant, and came to look for Shen Jie, the Marquis of Dingguo.

Shen Jie took a closer look, and quickly recognized the person who came, and hurriedly greeted warmly: "Shan baby, is your grandpa okay?"

This boy, it was the year of the flood, when Shen Jie came back from the west and wanted to go to the mountain village to rescue Xing'er, he fell ill on the way, and was taken in by Shanwa's grandfather and treated him.Before Shen Jie left, he left 25 taels of silver to Shanwa's grandfather, and gave Shanwa's grandfather a jade pendant, so that if he encounters any difficulties in the future, he can go to Dingguohou's Mansion in the capital. Ask him for help.

Shanwa kowtowed respectfully, and then responded loudly: "When I return to Lord Hou, my grandfather is in good health and misses Lord Hou very much. Shanwa came this time and brought the mountain goods prepared by my grandfather to Lord Hou. However, Shanwa's main purpose in coming to the capital is to hope that Lord Hou can recommend Shanwa to join the army! Shanwa's greatest wish is to become a famous general!"

"Okay, Shanwazi wants to become a general, and his ambition is high!" Shen Jie was very happy, and named Shanwa Fang Jin, and recommended him to the Northwest Military Camp.

The newly released Fang Jin stayed in Xinghua Village, just waiting for the beginning of spring, and took Shen Jie's handwritten letter to the northwest to find Dongfang Langyue.They also came together with a few teenagers from Li County who also wanted to make contributions in the military camp. Xing'er kept them and settled them in the rural farm near Xinghua Village.

More than ten years later, Fang Jin and the rest of the boys have become well-known generals in the Anlan Kingdom.Not only that, but Shen Jie and Xing'er, with the help of these young people, survived a great catastrophe.
