National Beauty

The frontier between the Great Zhou and the Liao State traversed from east to west and stretched for thousands of miles. The northeastern states were flat, and fighting was beneficial to the Liao army’s cavalry. Therefore, in the past, the Liao army used to make raids from the northeast on many occasions. Emperor Xuande also arranged there. He was heavily guarded and handed over to the prestigious Zhenbei General Handa. There are many mountains and rivers in the northwest, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the court only arranged 80,000 soldiers and horses.

No one thought that this time the Liao army attacked from the northwest overnight, attacking the soldiers of the great Zhou, and taking the Northwest fortress Lingzhou like a broken bamboo. When the battle report came to Beijing, Emperor Xuande was furious, and ordered the guard of Lingzhou who was beheaded to abandon the city, promoted the original lieutenant general, and ordered the guardian Guo Boyan to lead one hundred thousand forbidden troops to rush to support.

Guo Xiao is also in the forbidden army dispatched.

There is a grandfather of the country and the other a son. Both father and son are going to the battlefield. The wife is very worried, and brings Ting Fang to Yuntang early to wait, so that once her children and grandchildren return to the palace, she will be able to see it immediately. Lin and Song Jianing naturally wanted to accompany them, and the couples from the second and third rooms also came.

At a shift, Guo Xiao returned first, wearing armor. When he came in and looked around the crowd, Guo Xiao Surong said to his wife: "Grandma, the army will leave tomorrow morning. My father is staying in the barracks tonight. I will send me back to inform you that you, your mother, uncle and aunt will rest early. We are worried."

"Not coming back?" Madam Tai was dazed, a little unacceptable, she still had a lot to ask her son.

"The military situation is urgent, and my father can't get away." Guo Xiao said briefly, and then looked at Lin: "Mother, please pack a few sets of clothes for your father."

Lin was flustered and hurriedly arranged to the backyard after hearing this.

Knowing that Mrs. Tai had something to tell Guo Xiao, everyone in the second and third rooms told Guo Xiao separately and left first. For them, Guo Boyan had to lead a soldier every two years, every time he was invincible, and everyone was not worried.

As soon as they left, Linyuntang suddenly seemed deserted. The wife was not very worried about the eldest son, but she was afraid that her grandson would be injured in the battlefield when she was young, so she took Guo Xiao's hand and exhorted a lot. Guo Xiao listened carefully, nodding from time to time, and Yu Guang glanced at the two younger sisters on one side several times.

Ting Fang was very nervous, her pretty face turned pale, her thin eyebrows furrowed deeply, her eyes were full of brothers.

Song Jianing lowered her head slightly, unable to see exactly what she was looking at, but the fat girl's face was red in protein, Guo Xiao instinctively guessed that the stepsister didn't seem to worry about him at all.

Song Jianing is really not worried. It's not that she doesn't care about Guo Xiao's life or death, but she knows that Guo Xiao will go there safely. When Guo Xiao was first brought into the capital by Guo Xiao in her previous life, Guo Xiao did not force her to give it to him, but the maid who arranged to serve her did not know whether he had his advice, or she took the initiative to help Guo Xiao, and said Guo Xiao a lot of good things in her ear. He talked about Guo Xiao’s various heroic deeds. Among them, Guo Xiao went out with his father at the age of eighteen. Guo Boyan led the troops to fight frontally. Guo Xiao led two thousand men and horses to the rear of the Liao army, burned the opponent’s grain and made great contributions. .

However, Song Jianing was not so stupid that she really seemed to be concerned about herself. She tried very hard to pretend to be worried, and she didn't know whether her deceptive talent was too bad, or Guo Xiao's eyes were too poisonous and could not be fooled. Pass.

Mrs. Tai said a lot, and asked everything in every detail, which made the granddaughters say goodbye to their elder brothers.

Ting Fang was almost crying. She looked up at her brother, full of stomachs and she didn't know where to start, tears floating in her eyes. My sister was afraid of this, but Guo Xiao rarely smiled and touched his sister's head and said: "Ting Fang is at ease to be married. Come back, my brother will carry you on the sedan chair."

Ting Fang was sour in her heart, the big tears rolled down, she rushed over to hug her brother, and choked with her head against Guo Xiao's chest: "Brother, take care, remember to write to me when you have time, and father, tell your father. Saying I miss him, tell him to triumph earlier, my grandmother, mother, my sister and I are all waiting."

Guo Xiao patted his sister on the shoulder, his eyes were a little more gentle: "Okay."

Ting Fang cried for a while, stood straight with red eyes, turned to look at Song Jianing.

As soon as Song Jianing raised her head, she fell into Guo Xiao's deep black eyes, as sharp as an eagle, as if she could see through her heart. Song Jianing originally prepared a few words of farewell. When Guo Xiao stared at him like this, Song Jianing suddenly forgot. He couldn't make up the beautiful words temporarily, so he thought of something and said: "Brother, you, you have to be careful when you get to the battlefield. I heard that Liao People are very fierce, you can fight if you can, if you can't fight..."

Speaking of this, Song Jianing suddenly couldn't speak anymore. Why did she sound a little frustrated?

"There is no Liaobing that your eldest brother can't beat." Seeing that she was stuck, Guo Xiao said flatly.

With the ladder, Song Jianing immediately smiled flatteringly: "Well, eldest brother is the best." Farewell to her that she hadn't experienced it. It was much simpler to praise. Knowing that Guo Xiao is indeed very good, Song Jianing is a sincere flatterer, with apricot eyes reflected in the light, bright and moist. Guo Xiao took a deep look, and finally felt comfortable in his chest.

It turned out that the stepsister didn't care about him, but trusted him too much.

My sister touched her head, and Guo Xiao touched Song Jianing's head smoothly, and said in the tone of his elder brother: "My father and I are not here, you have to listen to your grandmother and mother, and spend more time with your grandmother. Don't worry about going outside for the time being. When I come back, my eldest brother will take you out."

Song Jianing was not used to his touch, and moved to Ting Fang's side while nodding.

Two quarters later, Guo Boyan and Guo Xiao packed up their bags. Ting Fang supported his wife, Lin took Song Jianing, and the four sent Guo Xiao out of the house. Guo Xiao turned on his horse, and finally saw the female relatives in the family, his eyes sank, and he set off without looking back. The wife raised her heart, Lin looked at the back of her stepson, but was thinking of the other person in her heart.

The night was filled, Lin first sent his wife back to Changxinyuan, and then watched his daughter and son fall asleep before returning to his room.

There was a lamp left in the room, and Lin was lying on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

She is very worried.

Knife and gun without eyes, although Guo Boyan is the victorious general of Da Zhou, who can guarantee that he will win the battle every time? In case this time... Lin's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to think anymore. She no longer had a husband. The fate with Guo Boyan was bitter at first. It was only after the birth of Mao’s brother Lin that he realized that Guo Boyan had moved her a little bit of true affection. One gave them peace and security, and the other just married her. The man guarding her, day after day, Lin's heart moved unconsciously.

But she just tasted sweetness, Guo Boyan was about to go to the battlefield.

Lin turned over, tears falling. The ex-husband, who was young, died of a sudden illness before entering Beijing Chunwei. Some people say it was her Koff. Lin didn't know whether she was able to resist. But now, Lin was very afraid, would she really be a Koff? Woman, whoever marries her is not good?

Lin is not afraid to be a widow again, she is afraid that Guo Boyan will never come back, and she is afraid that her brother Mao will not learn to call his father...

Weeping and crying, Lin fell asleep. After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when he heard a little movement, Lin woke up and heard rapid footsteps coming towards her. Lin turned her head abruptly, and through the thin gauze tent, she saw a tall figure through the lamp that she had left before going to bed, and the man picked up the tent, revealing a cold face she was already familiar with.

Before he spoke, Lin's tears came down first.

Guo Boyan was stunned, watching the tears rolling down her white face, he was shocked first, and then ecstatic.

"Worry about me?" Guo Boyan sat down and stretched out his arms to put the person in his arms.

Lin tightly hugged the man's broad back and said nothing.

Guo Boyan rubbed the top of her head, his eyes changed a few times. He slipped back in the middle of the night, mainly because he wanted to meet her before leaving and tell her not to worry. At this moment, seeing her crying for him, Guo Boyan suddenly wanted an answer. With a big hand passing through her thick black hair unconsciously, Guo Boyan asked in a low voice: "I'm afraid that something will happen to you. Your wife will have a hard time at the National Palace, or are you afraid that no one will hug you like this in the future?"

He always knew that she agreed to remarry for the sake of her daughter.

Lin said nothing.

Guo Boyan lifted her chin and insisted on her to speak.

Eyes entangled, Lin's tearful eyes have revealed the answer, but she still wiped her eyes, pretending to be calm and quiet: "I will tell you when the Lord of the country comes back."

Guo Boyan smiled, and fell down under her, a gust of wind and rain.

The next day it was still dark, and the army set off.

~

In the state-owned war, both the court and the people are concerned about the war in the northwest, especially at the feet of the emperor. Whether it is really worrying about the overall situation or pretending to be perfunctory, the officials and the people have to behave. There is obviously less lively events such as eating and drinking. I didn't dare to organize with fanfare, the wedding banquet was quiet.

The pillars of the two generations of Weiguo Gongfu were on the front line to fight against the Liao army. As early as the day after the army set off, Mrs. Tai confessed. Before the two men returned safely, the Guogong Mansion closed doors and thanked the guests. The second master, who was an official in the court, San Ye continued to work as a errand, and the female family members of the inner house did not walk around unless necessary.

Both Tingfang and Lanfang were obedient, and Yunfang was trapped in the house and ran to the lady to act like a baby a few times. As for Song Jianing, I am afraid she is the most calm person in the Guogong Mansion. After all, she has been trapped in Zhuangzi for seven years in her previous life. Song Jianing has long been accustomed to living behind closed doors, and she stayed with her mother calmly and helped. Take care of younger brother.

The battle started in March, during which the two armies had their own victories and defeats. It was not until September that Guo Boyan beheaded the 50,000 Liao army with fewer victories and more, and the equal battlefield situation was completely reversed. Da Zhou pursued the victory by victory, the Liao army retreated in a row, and finally retreated and fled after three months. The good news came to the capital, and the Emperor Xuande looked happy. The emperor was happy. The sorrow that had been hanging over the capital for nearly a year disappeared, and the people all spent the new year happily.

Although the Liao army retreated, the frontier military defense still needed to be rectified. On the Spring Festival, Guo Boyan's letter from his family arrived, saying that their father and son will return to Beijing in April.

Mrs. Tai was holding the family letter and got the return date. She was very happy. Since the two masters were okay and made contributions, Mrs. Tai finally spoke and resolved the ban on the government. Mrs. Han from the General Mansion of Zhenbei came to the house after hearing the news and reconsidered the marriage date of the two children with the Guo family. Mrs. Tai had already turned over the almanac and set the day of rejoicing in May.

Aunt Tan received the letter and led her well-dressed daughter Tan Xiangyu to visit her niece on the grounds of visiting her niece.
