Chapter 136
Fang Xin frowned, stomped his feet while warming his hands, and echoed disapprovingly, "Although Feng Yong is famous, he has not been out of the mountain for many years. This time he was thrown out by Sima Quan to block the way, and he met you, an invincible general. , he is probably suffering from a headache too. Besides, almost all the six Jiangnan prefectures have replaced reliable personnel, and we have no other shortcomings."

Unexpectedly, when he finished speaking and raised his head, he happened to look at Shanggong Zhiming with fierce eyes, "Qianzhou, Yunjiazhuang!"

Fang Xin was stunned when he heard this, and then thought of Ding Wei's mother and son. He was still a little dazed, and couldn't help but retort, "Impossible, even though Miss Ding's mother and son are regarded as relatives by the Yun family, outsiders rarely know the inside story. Secondly, Feng Yong wouldn't think of arresting a cook to threaten 10,000+ rebels."

After all, he remembered his father's previous temptation, bowed and saluted, and said solemnly, "Tianbao, my father had spoken to Sima Quan earlier and sent a dead man to assassinate you. Although Xiao Cheng was confused for a while, I don’t know who I listened to and changed the target to Miss Ding’s mother and son, but I still have to apologize for my father.”

Gong Zhiming raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't know how to speak.

Back then when Xiao Cheng sent a dead man to touch Yunjiazhuang, others thought that this guy had lost his head, but only he knew that this was the wisest decision in Xiao Cheng's life.

Fortunately, Yunying was alert, and Mr. Wei happened to rush back, otherwise, even if he would not exchange 10,000+ rebels for Ding Wei's mother and son, at least he would be in chaos.Therefore, even though he knew that Prime Minister Fang, who was once half a gentleman, was tempted, he still couldn't let go every time he remembered that he almost dragged Ding Wei's mother and son into danger.

"When he enters the capital, I will tell my husband face to face. This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to blame yourself."

Fang Xin saw that his friend didn't seem to harbor any resentment, so he felt relieved, and responded with a smile, "My old man has collected a lot of good things. When the time comes, don't forget to take the opportunity to blackmail him more, and help me ask for it by the way." A few good calligraphy and paintings. There is a picture of living in the mountains, which he likes the most, remember to ask for that one. He is afraid that he will be so distressed that he will not dare to provoke you for the rest of his life."

Gong Zhiming smiled faintly, and looked into the distance with his eyes, but there was a lingering trace of worry.Not just Fang Xin, no one knows how important Ding Wei's mother and son are to him.Even if Xiao Cheng and those dead soldiers were all killed that day, there is no guarantee that the news will leak out. If Feng Yong really cheated and transferred to Qianzhou, wouldn't Ding Wei's mother and son be in danger again?

"I want to go back to Qianzhou. If there is a war, everything will be arranged by General Chu, and the government affairs will be arranged by you."

"What?" Fang Xin was surprised when he heard that. He pointed to the dark camp opposite Lishui, and asked incredulously, "You mean to leave everything behind and rush back to Qianzhou? That's not going to happen, Jiangnan The Six Houses have just appeased you, once you are delayed on the road, there may be an accident immediately."

But Gong Zhiming shook his head, and said firmly, "I have to go, and I will tell Old General Chu later. The news is kept from everyone, if anyone asks, they will say that I have caught a cold."

"Why do you have to go back?" Fang Xin continued to persuade, "If you have any important matters, just leave it to me. I just happened to pick up Miss Ding and Brother Ang on the way, and there is nowhere It is more peaceful among the army, and after the new year, we will advance all the way to Xijing, and then we will be completely settled down."

No, his words made Gong Zhiming even more insist on going on the road, "No need to persuade, I must go."

After that, he turned around and went back to the camp, leaving Fang Xin stamping his feet anxiously, but he had no choice but to quickly think of some tricks to cover his eyes.After all, it is very easy for a general to shake the morale of an army of 10,000+.

Old General Chu was extremely puzzled when he received the military talisman, but the military orders were so overwhelming that no matter how much doubts he had in his heart, he could only bow down and obey the orders.

That night, it snowed lightly, and the cold wind blew by, hitting the mountain with extreme numbness.But the wooden gate of the camp of the rebel army was quietly opened, and a hundred riders in black clothes and black cloaks rode out, quickly blending into the night, and disappeared in the blink of an eye...

The twelfth lunar month is busy, the twelfth lunar month is panic, and it is fragrant everywhere in the twelfth lunar month.

If there is a season that children like most, it is definitely the twelfth lunar month, even more than September when the mountain is the most abundant.Because during this month, no matter how difficult the family life is, my mother and grandmother will rack their brains to prepare all kinds of delicious food, preparing to add some happiness to the coming New Year.Of course, if they gather around the stove, they can more or less fragrant their mouths in advance.

In the Yun Family Manor, because this year there are two hundred more elite soldiers, more than one hundred disabled soldiers, and one hundred women and children, it can be described as extremely lively.

Before the rebel army marched out, Gong Zhiming left enough food for the manor, even 1 taels of silver, for fear that Ding Wei's mother and son would be wronged.

Ding Wei is not a stingy person either. When she misses Gong Zhiming, she tries to find more things for herself.So, just after the twelfth lunar month, Cheng Dayou led people to kill pigs and sheep, and occasionally went to the city to buy all kinds of New Year's goods, which caused the children in the manor to cheer and run after the carriage every time they came back. Get a piece of peanut candy, or a few pieces of thick snacks, and then you will be able to wake up from sleep with a smile.

On this day, it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Ding Wei got up early and made a pot of Laba porridge with her own hands. The two old men were not at home, and there was no need to distribute it anywhere. She took Yunying, Yunya, and Mrs. Cheng together around the table. Gossiping and drinking porridge.

The second baby and brother Ang had enough to eat and drink, and ran to the carpet early to kick a cowhide ball that Cheng Tieniu had brought back from the city.However, the two younger ones were too naughty, kicking the ball and running around, and the tired older one always had to lift up his pants.

Ding Wei looked amused, and said, "It's been a hard job growing up these few days. During the Chinese New Year, I will give him an extra set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and add a piece of clothing to make new jackets and trousers."

Mrs. Cheng quickly declined, "Miss, don't bully this kid, he is lucky to be able to play with my little master."

Ding Wei shook her head, and finally asked, "Have all the grain porridge from the workshops and households in the barracks been distributed?"

"Don't worry, girl," Yun Ya interjected, "I see that Steward Cheng led people to distribute it. Sister-in-law Liu took it from the workshop, and gave it to Sister-in-law Yuan from the farmers, and Brother Cheng sent it to the barracks."

"That's good. The weather is getting colder and colder these days. Don't be afraid to burn firewood and let everyone live warmer. Especially in the workshop, half of them are children." Speaking of this, Ding Wei suddenly thought of learning to read Ban, turned to Mrs. Cheng and said, "Tell Steward Cheng, those children who took the exam a few years ago will be given some rewards if they do well."

"Okay, I'll talk about it later."

Because Cheng Dayou taught the children how to read and write every night, Mrs. Cheng was also honored by the children as "Master Mistress". When she heard that the master wanted to reward the children, she was naturally happy for them, and she planned to go to announce the good news after eating.

Talking like this, the meal was soon finished, Yunying was about to clean up the dishes, but she suddenly turned her head to listen, then opened the door and went out, and quickly came in with a note.

Ding Wei was hugging Brother An and wearing a padded jacket, thinking about taking him out for a walk, when she looked up and saw Yunying's expression changed, she asked, "Why, there is news from the army?"

At the beginning, Ding Wei's mother and son were almost taken away, and Gong Zhiming was terrified. This time, he not only left behind two hundred elite soldiers, but even planned to leave a group of hidden positions.On the contrary, Ding Wei was afraid that he would be on the battlefield and no one could use him, so she tried her best to persuade him to withdraw the hidden guards.After all, the manor is only a dozen miles away from Qianzhou City. If something happens, the government soldiers will arrive within a quarter of an hour, so safety is absolutely guaranteed.

In the end, Gong Zhiming took away the dark place, but he still kept two letter eagles, which were usually taken care of by Yunying, so that the two parties could send messages easily.

So, as soon as Yunying came in with the note, Ding Wei guessed it was a letter from Gong Zhiming, and hurriedly read it.

But the more she looked at it, the more confused she became. It turned out that Gong Zhiming wanted her to pack her luggage and move to the government office for a long-term stay.Not to mention that the manor is now buying new year's goods, and it is bustling, which is many times better than the deserted mansion. It is not good to leave a lot of wounded soldiers, as well as women and children in the workshop.

Yun Ying just saw that the bamboo tube containing the note was painted with red paint representing urgency, and had glanced at the note a long time ago, seeing Ding Wei hesitated at this moment, she persuaded, "Girl, what is the young master's consideration, otherwise he will definitely not I will let you enter the city at this time."

Ding Wei bit her lip, remembering the danger last time, she no longer hesitated.

"Then I'll pack my luggage, and you go to Xun Cheng's steward, tell him to go to the wounded barracks and outside the village, and we'll go into the city in the afternoon. Also, if you go to the government office again, you have to say hello to Qian Fuyin Bar?"

"Don't worry, girl. I'll arrange these things. You just need to take care of Brother An. We must enter the city as soon as possible."

Yunying hurried out after a few instructions. Ding Wei felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and raised her hand to pour a cup of tea to calm her mind, but she didn't want the teacup to fall on the ground and broke in half for no reason.

Ding Wei felt her heart skip a beat for an instant, as if some kind of danger was gradually approaching in the dark.

"Yunya, Yunya!" She called out loudly to Yunya who was playing with the children in the yard, "Hurry up and bring the children back, and help me pack my luggage, we are going to the city!"

Yun Ya didn't understand why she had to enter the city suddenly, but she only had one advantage, being obedient.After the master gave the order, he hurriedly followed suit.As for the three little ones, as long as they have food and drink, they can go anywhere.

The main family was going to the city, and the farmers were inevitably curious, but Cheng Dayou cleverly thought of an excuse, saying that the officials and rich families in the city had prepared a lot of New Year's goods for the rebels, and Ding Wei was going to help take care of them, and by the way, during the New Year Go to various places for banquets, and come back after the New Year.

After hearing this, the farmers were very proud. The left and right masters had already distributed the grain and pork rewards for the New Year, and they kowtowed to the yard on the evening of the [-]th to count their thanks.

But Ding Wei packed her luggage in the morning, and explained the trivial matters in the village clearly, but something happened in the wounded barracks.
