Chapter 639 Only Love Can Cross Mountains and Seas
The hundreds of black shadows carefully selected by Xu Yu approached the Dingzhou city wall immersed in the quiet of the night at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, a crisp clang sound was heard from the small study deep in the tea mountain, and the chess piece in Sang Zhixia's hand fell outside the chessboard.
When Mr. Qi, who was sitting opposite her, saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you that worried?"
Sang Zhixia was seen through and didn't bother to hide it. She smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you see it all?"
Xu Yu stayed at home for less than half a day that day, and then hurried back to the camp.
From that day on, Sang Zhixia completely lost all contact with Xu Yu.
Sang Zhixia picked up the black chess piece that had fallen off the board and held it in her palm. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "The King of Lingnan has been building up momentum for a long time. Three days ago, he announced to the world that he has broken with the imperial family and will lead his troops into the capital to investigate the truth behind the late emperor's death and bring justice to his subjects."
The Kyoto royal family had been cautious and vigilant, weakening and suppressing them overtly and covertly for so many years, but Lingnan finally rebelled.
But most people don’t think that the King of Lingnan is a traitor.
The many preparations and publicity efforts that had taken place before this had been very effective, and the King of Lingnan now announced his uprising to uphold the cause of the royal family.
Compared to the King of Lingnan who was wronged in the rumors, the notorious members of the royal family who were now fighting in the imperial city without regard for their dignity were even more despised.
Therefore, unlike the traitors who were hated by everyone as described in history books, the King of Lingnan, although not orthodox, perfectly grasped the righteousness.
Justified.
However, the King of Lingnan did not send troops in time, and there have been no major external actions in the past few days.
After the declaration was released, the atmosphere in the entire Lingnan region changed to a solemn one, but at present there was still no sign of war.
However, at this time, there was no news of Xu Yu at all.
Sang Zhixia guessed that Xu Yu might have been sent to some unknown place, and she also knew that Xu Yu would try his best to protect himself.
But even if you know everything, it is still difficult to be truly at ease.
Mr. Qi was no stranger, so Sang Zhixia didn't hide anything and said to herself, "You might not know this, but Xu Yu has never been able to let go of the Hongbei battle that year."
"After so many years, his desire for revenge has been poisoned countless times, and the hatred has long been ingrained in his bones."
Xu Yu always seemed calm and composed, and acted in an orderly manner.
In fact, Xu Yu had been enduring all the time.
The blade that hurts people is hidden under the flesh and blood, and the humiliation of the Xu family's century-long glory is engraved in the bones.
Hatred turned into a sharp knife, which finally pierced through the pus and flesh on this day. While the knife was sharp, Sang Zhixia couldn't help but worry that he might hurt himself.
Upon hearing this, Old Qi snorted, grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand, which didn't know where to place the piece, and decisively pressed it on the black and white chessboard.
Old Qi mocked, "Girl, it's impossible to let go of hatred, no matter how long it takes."
"If that kid had really dared to forget the blood feud, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened later."
Sangzhi Xia remained silent.
Old Qi laughed: "Besides, if he could really forget, would you and him be together today?"
Sang Zhixia is just as arrogant as anyone else, but it's hidden beneath her gentle exterior, so ordinary people can't see it at all.
Fundamentally speaking, Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu are actually the same kind of people.
Otherwise...
"You're willing to spend so much money and effort just to help him achieve his wish as soon as possible?"
If it weren't for Sang Zhixia's constant assistance, Xu Yu would have reached where he is today sooner or later.
But the journey will never be so smooth, and there will be more and greater endurance and hardship waiting for Xu Yu.
Sang Zhixia opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.
Old Qi said slowly, "That kid has a strong desire for revenge, but his madness is very methodical. There's no need to worry too much."
"With you and those two little guys tied up at home, he'll remember the way home even if he goes crazy. Why are you worried?"
Sang Zhixia smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond. Old Qi said slowly, "Put your heart in your stomach."
"You've done what you can. All that's left is to trust him."
"No matter what time it is, no matter what happens, you must always believe in him."
No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, only love can cross mountains and seas.
If Sang Zhixia didn't dare to believe Xu Yu, then the only rope that tied Xu Yuzhi home might break.
If that day ever comes...
Old Qi sighed and closed his eyes.
Xu Yu might not be far from going completely crazy.
But as long as Sangzhixia is here, that day will not be possible.
Sang Zhixia had never had any doubts about Xu Yu, but it was her first time experiencing such a thing and she felt a little uneasy.
After talking with Mr. Qi, Sang Zhixia felt much more at ease.
Sang Zhixia sent Mr. Qi back to the house. When he returned to his room, he was not sleepy at all, so he simply took out the account books that he had accumulated but had not had time to look at.
Although the King of Lingnan took the lead and occupied the name of righteousness, the royal family in Kyoto would never surrender.
That is the throne of the Son of Heaven.
The supreme position above millions of people, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, those who have the hope to fight for it will never give up.
Once the war officially begins, it will not be quelled in a short period of time.
And in the meantime, she has more important things to do.
The candlelight in Sangzhixia's house burned until dawn. When it was daybreak, he didn't even bother to take a rest and went straight to find Song Liu.
"Send a message to our people immediately. Tell them to buy more cotton fabric and recruit people locally to make padded jackets that won't hinder their movements. Have them made as quickly as possible. Wait for my instructions on the specific route for the farewell."
Song Liu nodded quickly at first, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, I heard from the locals that the winter in Lingnan is also very warm, and you can survive the winter with just a thin layer of clothing."
"You suddenly want so many jackets, are you trying to sell them?"
“It’s not for sale.”
Sang Zhixia rubbed his brow and said, "It's warm here in Lingnan, but we can't prevent people from going to places where winter is about to come, and we might get cold."
The Central Plains is vast and boundless. Although the four seasons rotate synchronously, the climate varies greatly.
Sang Zhixia couldn't understand the map herself, so she simply called Xu Minghui over and had him explain it to her in detail for two days. She then made her own judgment based on her guesswork.
Xu Yu was full though.
But winter was about to arrive, and Xu Yu might suffer from the cold as he advanced into the heartland of the Central Plains.
The little supplies the army has prepared are not enough.
Sang Zhixia closed her eyes and said, "After these jackets are finished, pack them up and send them to Yongzhou first."
"I have arranged ten caravans in Yongzhou that are ready to go at any time. They will be on standby at all times. Once I have decided on a location, they will be ready to depart immediately."
These things were not what Jiang Yubai wanted, and Sang Zhixia had no intention of selling them for money.
It's not impossible to send it to Xu Yu alone, but if that's the case...
It is inevitable that Xu Yu will appear to be a maverick in the army, and Sang Zhixia does not want to make things difficult for him.
What Zuo Cheng shouted before once again reminded Sang Zhixia that Xu Yu's life in the army was not as easy as he described.
Then send them together.
Sang Zhixia will give you as much as you have on hand.
Anyway, she is not short of money now, so she won't feel bad about spending it lavishly.
Apart from the share that Xu Yu got, the rest was considered her sponsorship for entertaining the troops.
Based on her experience dealing with Jiang Yubai, Jiang Yubai would not refuse.
Just consider it as a favor she is doing for Jiang Yubai.
Song Liu was startled and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Song Liu hurried to deliver the message.
When Sang Zhixia was about to go check on Nuonuo and Yuanbao, Cheng Qi ran towards her quickly. Before he could even stand still, he excitedly said, "Boss, there's a fight in Dingzhou!"
