The name of Fengyu City has a good meaning, but because it is close to the border, it is often harassed by the Chile people, and incidents of food robbery, murder and arson occur from time to time. This time, the other party regarded Fengyu City as a piece of cake and occupied it first.
That was why the prince was in a hurry to set out. If the Chile tribe was allowed to attack in one go, the morale of the soldiers on the border would definitely be affected.
This first battle was crucial. Even with General Huo accompanying him, the prince was extremely alert.
And Lin Yaozu was in the first row where the prince was.
Before leaving, Lian Yi specifically told Lin Yaozu:
"My dear, there is no mercy on the battlefield. My children and I are still looking forward to your safe return. You must be careful."
"I know."
Lin Yaozu said as he held Lianyi in his arms.
"My husband, you must stay close to the prince's team on the march, so that you won't suffer in terms of food and lodging, and you can also accumulate experience and keep yourself strong.
But if you go to the battlefield, even if you are in the rear, you must stay away from the prince. "
Lianyi lowered her voice and whispered in Lin Yaozu's ear.
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
Lin Yaozu asked.
"I sent my maid to ask my father about this. The leader of the Chi-Le tribe, Na Wu-Le, likes to take the heads of enemy generals to show off his achievements. If he goes to the battlefield, he will definitely target the prince.
If there is an assassination attempt, the prince's guards and secret guards will definitely protect their master's safety first. Do you think they will still care about you in such a situation?"
Ripple explained with a frown.
"Madam wants me to stay away from danger and avoid being harmed."
Lin Yaozu reacted immediately.
"Well, that's what I mean. Nothing is more important than your life. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, I am the son of the Minister of War after all. I am not outstanding, but I still have the ability to protect myself."
Lin Yaozu said with confidence.
"Tsk, he's exaggerating. If he said that before he got married, it would have been credible. But now he's a weakling. I guess even you can handle him. And you're still being proud of yourself."
Duoduo complained mercilessly.
"It's okay, just think of it as trying to make him happy."
Ripple said nonchalantly.
After the couple said goodbye to each other reluctantly, Lin Yaozu went to pay his respects to his parents, then took his personal servant and two guards to gather outside the imperial city and set out on his journey.
After Lianyi returned to her yard, she immediately announced that she would become a vegetarian. She copied scriptures to pray for her husband, hoping that he would return safely.
When the news reached Mrs. Lin, she became more and more satisfied with Lianyi.
Marquis Anding knew that Lin Yaozu was among the entourage on this expedition, but he was not worried about his daughter. His daughter gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Lin family and had made great contributions through hard work.
Especially now that Lin Yaozu has gone to war, the outcome is unknown. Even if he is unlucky and dies on the battlefield, his daughter has her children to rely on, so she will definitely be able to live a good life in the Lin Mansion with confidence. So he just sent some gifts as a token of his courtesy, and that was enough.
After the prince assembled 150,000 troops, he launched the first battle in Fengyu City.
As time went by, battle reports from the battlefield were transmitted back to the imperial city from time to time, and the people of the Dahuan Dynasty were paying attention to this war.
In the early stages of the war, neither side had figured out the other's way of fighting, so the fighting was evenly matched, with each side winning and losing. However, after the fall, the war became increasingly intense, and both sides wanted to end the battle before the first snow fell.
The Chi-Le tribe wanted to win the battle and obtain more winter supplies from the Dahuan Dynasty so that their people could survive the winter smoothly.
The prince wanted to drive the Chile tribe out of the border completely before the ice and snow blocked the road. It would be best if these people were killed by the cold winter weather, so that it would be easier to take over the Chile tribe's territory in the spring of next year.
In order to achieve their respective goals, the two sides fought fiercely. Even the prince occasionally took to the battlefield and exchanged words with Na Wu Le.
The Lin family continued to receive letters from Lin Yaozu intermittently, and they no longer felt the same fear they had at the beginning. They just prayed that Lin Yaozu would come back as soon as possible.
However, it had been nearly twenty days since Lin Yaozu's last letter. Mrs. Lin was a little anxious, so she went to Lianyi's yard on the pretext of looking after the child.
"Lianyi, has the child been well behaved recently?"
"The children are very well behaved, except that they occasionally clamor to see their father."
Lian Yi also said with a worried look on her face, and then she specifically asked:
"Mother, has Yaozu's letter been sent back?"
"Not at all! That's exactly what I'm worried about. I've been feeling really anxious lately."
Mrs. Lin sighed.
".Mother, I think no news is good news."
Lianyi said after considering her words.
"I hope so!"
After seeing her three grandchildren, Mrs. Lin returned to her own yard.
The next day, Minister Lin brought back bad news. Lin Yaozu was returning with the team escorting grain and fodder, but was attacked by a small group of Chile people on the way and lost his trace.
Mrs. Lin fainted on the spot after hearing this. Lianyi also staggered, but was supported in time by Meizhi who was standing beside her.
Then there was chaos in the Shangshu Mansion, and the lady of the house even fainted. A doctor had to be called in, and Lianyi, the daughter-in-law, had to play her role as well. She had to take over the affairs of the Shangshu Mansion's backyard, take care of the sick, and take care of the three children. She was the busiest person in the entire mansion.
Lin Weiyin and Lin Weiyun, who had a very low sense of presence, also stood up at this time to make their presence felt. They took the initiative to share the worries of their sister-in-law Lianyi and took on the responsibility of tending to Mrs. Lin's illness.
Lianyi seemed to be very busy, but in fact she had it very easy. After all, managing the Lin Mansion, which was only one acre and three mu in size, was much simpler than managing the country before.
The border went through several fierce battles, and finally when the first winter snow fell, the prince led a large army to drive the Chile tribe out of the border and basically crippled them. The news of Lin Yaozu's death was also passed back.
Lianyi pretended to fall ill after hearing the news. Lin Yaozu's funeral was arranged by Minister Lin. After all, An An was almost five years old and could break pots for her father.
Lianyi was lying on the bed communicating with Shijiu:
"Lin Yaozu is a man who cherishes his life very much. Is he really dead this time?"
"It's not completely over yet."
Shijiu responded very promptly.
"Not dead?"
"Half dead!"
"Tell me more about it."
"He wanted to return to the imperial city with the grain transport team, but was captured by a small group of the Chi-Le tribe as a grain transport officer. They then forced him to lead the Chi-Le tribe warriors to sneak back to the Great Huan Dynasty's base to steal grain and grass.
Lin Yaozu used the blade hidden in his sleeve to cut the rope and ran away. He did not help the other captured people to escape. As a result, no one covered him. After being caught up by the Chile people, he fell off the cliff and his head was bleeding. He was rescued by a hunter and is still unconscious. "
"Unexpectedly, his aura as the protagonist saved his life."
Ripple sighed.
"Hey, then how come there was news that he was killed in action?"
"The officers and soldiers transporting the grain were all killed, and his body could not be found, so the prince decided to add him to the list of dead."
