Chapter 237 The Marquis and the Crown Prince both requested for orders
On the tenth day of the eighth month,
a fast horse rushed directly into the north gate of the capital: "Eight hundred miles, eight hundred miles."
People who heard it along the way immediately made way.
People were waiting for news from the front line, and today there was finally news.
Yun Hongxiao couldn't wait any longer. A few days ago, he received an eight hundred miles express, and Yunhe City had already been lost.
When he finished reading the urgent reports written by Yun Ransheng and Qin Fei, he sat down on the dragon chair.
"Eunuch Yuan, notify Marquis Feng to enter the palace immediately. Then notify the Minister of War and the Vice Minister to come together." Yun Hongxiao took a deep breath before giving the order.
The three of them quickly came to Yu's study.
"Lord Feng, please read the report first." Yun Hongxiao didn't even wait for anyone to salute, and directly handed the two reports to Feng Zuwen.
Feng Zuwen quickly read through a report and then handed it to Zeng Yuwei. His eyes did not linger, and he continued to turn to the next one.
After reading it, he still did not show any emotion on his face, and handed it to Zhao Zhongyuan, waiting for the two to finish reading.
"Your Majesty, how come two cities have been lost? The reason for the invasion of the Ice and Snow Country is actually because of the girl from the Feng family?" Zeng Yuwei's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief.
He really couldn't imagine that such a little girl, only eight years old, could actually trigger a war between the two countries.
They have always been confused about the reason why the Ice and Snow Country sent 200,000 troops. Now that the veil has finally been lifted, it is an unexpected answer.
"Your Majesty, we can't marry Miss Feng to the Ice and Snow Country!" Zeng Yuwei's voice was full of anxiety and heartache, "She is the treasure of our Flame Country. Although no one has said it publicly, everyone knows that she is the one who can truly control the plague.
If we marry Miss Feng to another country, the people will not agree. She is a real hero of our Flame, and we can't let her down."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ice and Snow Country's request is too much. They want people and cities. Do they think we are so easy to bully?" Zhao Zhongyuan also chimed in.
"My dear Feng, what do you think?" Yun Hongxiao asked Feng Zuwen, who had been silent.
"Your Majesty, I will personally take action." Feng Zuwen asked without any extra words.
"Your Highness, you cannot go in. The Emperor is discussing matters with the ministers." At this time, the voice of Eunuch Yuan came from outside the study.
"Let him in." Yun Hongxiao shouted.
Prince Yun Ran came in in a hurry, and it was obvious that he was jogging.
"Father, what does the new report say?" Yun Ran was very concerned about this war.
Originally, he wanted to ask for permission, but his second brother asked first, and the Emperor agreed, so he gave up.
However, a report came in a few days ago, saying that a city had been lost. After a few days, I don't know how the progress is.
As a prince, of course he is paying attention all the time.
Yun Hongxiao asked him to read the report first.
The result made him frown.
"Father, how could this happen? General Qin is a veteran, and he lost two cities so quickly. The Ice and Snow Kingdom is actually coming for Sister Feng. No, I will ask for permission to go to the battlefield and make the Ice and Snow Kingdom flee in panic."
Since he learned the martial arts taught by Feng Tianxing, his martial arts have improved a lot.
He is very confident that he can win this battle.
But he forgot that a war cannot be won by one person, but by an entire team.
"Zheng'er, you are still too impulsive."
"But, father, we can't let Lord Feng and Sister Feng feel disappointed." Yun Ranzheng advised anxiously.
"I am very pleased that you have this intention. Tianxing will also be very happy to know." Feng Zuwen said with a smile.
After listening to the words of several people, he felt very comforted.
No one said that he wanted to push his daughter out to solve the war emergency.
"Marquis, Tianxing is your biological daughter. You can't let her down." Yun Ran was caring for Feng Tianxing as if she were his fourth brother. "Don't
worry, Your Highness, I will go to the northeast battlefield in person to drive out the invaders from the Ice and Snow Country, and beat them so hard that they dare not invade again." Feng Zuwen was angry and ambitious at this time.
He had never led troops to fight against other countries, but he had read a lot of military books, and he had Chen Zhizhong as his relative, and his second son had grown up.
"Marquis, this prince will go with you to boost the morale of the army. What the second brother can't do, this prince may be able to do. Father, I beg for permission to go to the northeast border." Yun Ran knelt down as he spoke, showing his determination.
"What do you think, Lord Feng?" Yun Hongxiao did not dare to make a decision. If the prince goes, his safety must be guaranteed. He is the heir apparent of a country and cannot afford to lose it.
"Since Your Highness the Prince has this intention, let's go together."
It would be good for the prince to accumulate some military merits on the battlefield, so that he can sit on the throne more securely in the future.
And he also knows that the prince's martial arts are not weak, and no one can hurt him easily.
Yun Hongxiao was relieved when Feng Zuwen said this, which was equivalent to entrusting his son to Feng Zuwen.
He wanted to bring him back safely.
"Okay, then the prince and Lord Feng should go together, the sooner the better. I will immediately issue an imperial decree to General Tan. After you go, you will take over the military power. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
"Yes."
Things were agreed upon and they dispersed.
Feng Zuwen and Yun Ranzheng walked out of Yu's study together.
"My Lord, I will go back and prepare now. We will set out early tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
Both of them had to arrange the work at hand before they could leave. It was impossible for them to set out directly.
Feng Zuwen went directly to the Imperial Guard Camp and found Ren Yucheng. He gave him a few simple instructions and asked him to do a good job of defending the capital. During his absence, he would be responsible for everything.
He was allowed to discuss things with Wu Yueqin.
Wu Yueqin later joined the Imperial Guard. His martial arts were relatively good and he was promoted quickly.
He also called Feng Yuanhan and asked him to go to General Chen's Mansion and call him to Feng Mansion.
Feng Zuwen returned home.
Feng Tianxing had just returned from Princess Loulan's mansion.
"Daddy, I have something to tell you." As soon as Feng Tianxing saw Feng Zuwen, she happily stepped forward, took his hand and sat down in the main hall.
"What are you so happy about?" Feng Zuwen asked gently.
"Daddy, I exchanged five ginsengs for one million taels of silver in Loulan Kingdom, and it happened to be delivered to the princess's mansion today." Feng Tianxing whispered.
Feng Zuwen was stunned. He understood what was going on as soon as he thought about it.
"My daughter, you are too courageous. Do you trust Princess Loulan so much?" Feng Zuwen also found it strange that his daughter had such a good relationship with Lou Shiyan.
"Daddy, there is something I have never told you. Sister Lou was my maid in her previous life."
"What?" Feng Zuwen was shocked.
The maid of the concubine is here too?
"I gave her a healing pill to eat. I wanted to heal her broken body, but it ended up healing her brain as well. She remembered her past life and recognized me. I look more and more like my past life now."
Feng Zuwen listened and looked at the concubine carefully. She was still somewhat similar to his wife, and also somewhat similar to himself. This was his concubine. How could she be like her past life?
He was jealous.
"So she helped you?"
"Yes. She still feels the same way about me as before. She still wants to follow me, but I didn't agree."
"Then what do you plan to do with the silver?" Feng Zuwen didn't believe that the concubine loved silver.
"The King of Ming wanted to donate all his money, so I thought of raising money for the national treasury." Feng Tianxing smiled brightly, as if asking for praise.
"Good boy, Daddy is going to the battlefield, so your money is equivalent to using it for Daddy." Feng Zuwen touched his daughter's head.
His daughter is the treasure of the entire Yanyan, but the people don't know. He really wants the people to know how good his daughter is.
But his daughter only likes to be a hero behind the scenes.
"When did it happen?"
