The old lady was also silent.
Her son died on the battlefield, and it took her a long time to get over it. Now her grandson is going too.
She wanted to stop it, but there was nothing she could do.
This is the emperor's order, no one can disobey it.
Before Qian could recover, Song Shaoheng ran in. He also wanted to go to the northern battlefield with his elder brother Song Tingyue!
When Qian heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. The old lady scolded her for being unsteady, but she was actually very worried inside.
The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was filled with gloom, and the same was true for the Ning Wang Mansion and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Zhang Rong'an and Bai Yufeng were also among those selected.
Unlike the other two royal palaces, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was originally a family of military generals, and generations of loyalty and righteousness were the result of blood and sweat.
When Bai Yufeng said he wanted to go to the north and drive the barbarians back to their homeland, Wu'an Hou Bai Yunhe was so excited that his face turned red and he performed spear exercises twice on the spot.
He wants to go too!
Kill all the barbarians without leaving a single piece of armor!
"Dad! You're old! The emperor specifically told you to recuperate at home. It's enough to have the children!"
"Dad! You have to give us young people a chance to grow, right?" Bai Yufeng looked at his strong father and held his forehead helplessly.
If his father were to die, there would be nothing left for him to do!
Wu'an Hou Bai Yunhe slammed his spear heavily on the ground, and his fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly.
After all, he is old, and after just two times, he was sweating all over and his breathing was unstable.
He felt helpless and angry. How come his physical condition deteriorated so quickly after just a few years of recuperation in the capital?
Bai Yufeng noticed the trembling fingers of Wu'an Hou and quickly looked away. He then walked forward with great tact, helped the man sit on the chair, and brought him some water.
"Dad, you're still strong, but we young people still need a chance to grow. If you go and kill all those barbarians, what will happen to me, your son?"
"Then there definitely isn't one, right? You haven't recovered from the injuries you sustained in the past few years yet, so you should get some rest."
Bai Yufeng finally persuaded his father with all his might, and then he prepared to go to the north. Wu'an Hou's wife Chu and daughter Bai Jingjing were busy preparing dry food for Bai Yufeng.
Although there is food and fodder distributed by the imperial court, it is always better to be prepared.
"Your brother may not be back for a long time. Let's prepare some more, including some herbs. I'll go buy some for you later."
The Chu family has rich experience in this area, because Bai Yunhe is away all year round, swords and knives are ruthless on the battlefield, and medicinal materials are always scarce.
Bai Jingjing nodded in agreement. She also had her own considerations in mind.
The news of the invasion of barbarians from the north spread throughout Shangjing like a gust of wind.
The soldiers were trained day and night in the camp outside the capital, and the Minister of Personnel arranged enough food and fodder to be sent ahead overnight, so he was busy as a whirlwind.
Chi Bingwen also started to get busy, staying in the imperial study all day long to help the emperor solve his problems.
Chi Yunzhi hasn't been eating or sleeping well these days, and has lost a lot of weight.
Song Tingyue hugged her, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could kill a fly.
"Don't worry about me. I don't know when I will be back. I will try to be back before the end of the year." Song Tingyue held her in his lap and put his arms around her waist.
"You must take good care of yourself at home. You don't have to go to your mother's place every day. If you miss your grandmother, go and see her." Song Tingyue explained things one by one and let her fiddle with her fingers.
He talked about a lot of things until his mouth was dry. He looked down and saw Chi Yunzhi looking at him eagerly.
Something in his heart suddenly loosened, and a dense mixture of sweetness and sourness came out all at once, filling his entire chest.
"Yunzhi, don't look at me like that." He couldn't bear to leave if she continued looking at him.
"The child and I are waiting for you at home." Chi Yunzhi moved her lips slightly and took the initiative to put her arms around his neck.
Song Tingyue understood Chi Yunzhi's feelings, and he had regretted countless times for treating her like that on his wedding night.
It's all because of his self-esteem.
"Yunzhi, I apologize to you. I didn't give you a complete wedding night." Song Tingyue buried his head in her neck and said in a muffled voice.
Chi Yunzhi thought of the unpleasant wedding night and shook her head slightly. It was not his fault, but theirs.
But now that I think about it, these are not a big deal.
"It's okay, Tingyue, you have given your heart to me. It's not your fault. I only blame my bad luck. I am just a little concubine's daughter." Chi Yunzhi held his cheeks with both hands, tears in her eyes.
"Yunzhi, Yunzhi, Yunzhi, Yunzhi..." Song Tingyue called her name again and again.
Chi Yunzhi responded again and again, her voice seemed to have a hook, hooking his heart.
Chi Yunzhi's toes straightened instantly, and her white neck raised a graceful arc.
In Furong Courtyard, when Chu learned that Song Shaoheng was also going to the battlefield, she was so dazed that she almost couldn't stand.
Song Yansheng quickly helped her sit down, and glanced at his heartless father who was sitting on a stool drinking tea by himself, feeling speechless.
"Brother, doesn't Dad want us anymore?" Song Jinze was young and only understood that his father was going to a very far place and would not be back in a short time.
"No, Dad is going to fight and drive out the barbarians who have invaded our country's border!" Song Yansheng had read books and knew what war was. At this moment, his little face was full of solemnity.
Mrs. Chu still remembers the first time Song Shaoheng came back from suppressing bandits and he hugged her and sobbed for half the night.
She stared at the man in front of her, and suddenly realized that he looked darker and tougher, and his muscles became much stronger.
He is growing up slowly and shedding his previous childishness.
Chu suddenly felt that he had grown into a real man.
A man should achieve great things and become the home of his wife and children.
Song Yansheng pulled Song Jinze, who still didn't understand the situation, out of the room. He knew that they were about to separate, and his parents would have endless things to talk about.
Five days passed in a flash, and finally the day of departure arrived.
Before daybreak, the emperor personally carried out the ceremony for Song Tingyue and the others. Several high-spirited young men stood in a row, their eyes firm and determined.
They look surprisingly like their father!
The emperor was filled with emotion. Although the older generation had retired from the battlefield, they had not forgotten to teach their children to inherit their will and continue to defend the country.
Looking at these young faces, the emperor's eyes turned red with excitement.
"I am very relieved to have you guard the border of Longxing Dynasty! I am waiting for the good news of your triumphant return in the capital!" After the emperor said this, he raised his head and drank a bowl of wine.
The soldiers raised their heads and drank, then slammed their bowls to the ground. "We swear to defend the border until our death! We swear to be loyal to the Emperor until our death!"
Ten thousand people roared in unison, war drums shook the sky, and 30,000 elite soldiers set out.
