The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 171 171. Military Report

"Anichi."

He called softly behind him, and soon a black shadow appeared from behind the pillar, looking like a ghost, and silently came to King Ding.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Tell Su Cheng that it's time to take action."

"yes."

There was a lot of excitement outside with gongs and drums, but the silence in Prince Ding's mansion was terrifying.

On the imperial street, after the envoys left, the crowd dispersed.

After looking at it for a long time, Bai Siruo felt a little tired and said to Feng Jinyao next to her, "Ayao, come home with me. My eldest aunt got a Siamese cat these days. It's very beautiful."

Auntie loves cats. As we all know, Princess Wen Yi said last time that she would find one for her, but to her surprise, she actually found one.

"Did you buy it at West Market?"

"No, grandma asked for it from the Queen in the palace. The outer vassal paid tribute to three of them, and they were all sent to the Queen's Palace this year. One was given to the fifth princess, one was given to grandma, and one was said to be the queen. The queen will raise it herself.”

Such favor is rare. It seems that the eldest prince did a good job in congratulating you this year. Otherwise, His Majesty would not be so impressed.

"I won't go today. I'll go see him another day. My mother told me before I left that I should go back early."

"Well, now that the second cousin is not at home and the eldest cousin is bored, it is right for you to go home and talk to your aunt more. You tell your aunt that I will go to the house to see her in two days and I will definitely buy her the best. I love Ju Fang Zhai’s dim sum!”

Feng Jinyao smiled. This cousin knew her mother's preferences better than she did, so she nodded.

Xiao Muqian wanted to send Bai Siruo back, so the task of sending Feng Jinyao naturally fell on Su Cheng. Unfortunately, Su Cheng, who was smiling and feasting just a second ago, saw someone passing by through the window. He just said "I have something else to do, let's go first" and left in a hurry.

Seeing the speed at which he walked, Bai Siruo wondered if he was rushing to take revenge when he met an enemy. In this case, Feng Jinyao had no choice but to go home by herself.

"Don't worry, these days must be the safest in Dongdu City. Don't you see every soldier on the road?"

Bai Siruo was a little worried, but in the end he couldn't defeat Feng Jinyao and had to let her go home alone.

On the other hand, Xiao Muqian, who was sending Bai Siruo back home, was a little solemn and said, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Since the last fight, their names have also changed. Xiao Muqian only called him by his first name, while Bai Siruo called him his cousin. When he heard her questioning voice, Xiao Muqian said with a smile, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, and I woke up again today." Good morning, I'm a little dizzy, it's okay."

After saying that, showing a reassuring expression, Bai Siruo had no doubt that he was there and could only say, "When I didn't sleep well, my energy was also low. Cousin, please go back and take a nap. It feels better now."

While talking about the suggestions, Xiao Muqian was talking about the scene he just saw with great joy. He was thinking about the war in the northwest, so he only listened to two or three points.

On the other side, Su Cheng, who had left in a hurry, caught up with the ghostly figure in a remote alley.

He asked with a serious tone and a serious attitude, "An Yi, but did the prince have any orders?"

"Well, the prince said you can take action."

Su Cheng was slightly surprised. When the matter was first mentioned, the prince did not speak. He did not expect that he would agree after so long.

To do this at this juncture, proper arrangements must be made.

He clasped his hands into fists and said to An Yi, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission."

Once An Yi got the answer he wanted, he immediately disappeared into the alley, as if he had never appeared before, leaving only Su Cheng with a serious expression on his face.

In Duke Wei's Mansion, the Ninth Prince and his most trusted aide, Mr. Du, who had just been invited, were sitting in the study.

I saw that Master Du was slightly stooped, with many ridges on his face, and he was wearing thin clothes, but his eyes were full of calculation and shrewdness.

"Grandpa, why are you calling us here in such a hurry?"

The Ninth Prince spoke first. He was still living a leisurely life in the mansion, but unexpectedly he received an urgent message from Duke Wei's mansion, and he also stated that he would bring Master Du with him.

Wei Guogong glanced at him and frowned slightly. After all, he had lived for decades. How could he not know the smell of his body? His indulgent appearance and behavior in broad daylight made people look down upon him.

It's a pity that all the wealth of the Wei family is on the head of the man in front of him. Even if he is not successful, he must be pushed to the top to preserve the glory, wealth, power and glory of the Wei family.

On the other hand, Mr. Du next to him looked inconspicuous, but his mind was very flexible.

His eyelids were drooped, but with a clear light, he took a step forward and raised his hands to Duke Wei and said, "My lord, is there a war?"

He is quite smart, and it is not bad to have this person as an adviser to the Ninth Prince.

Hearing Master Du speak like this, the Ninth Prince, who was originally in low spirits, suddenly became energetic.

Compared to the arrogant and extravagant days in Dongdu, no one can say anything about the comfort of fighting in the field and killing people openly and honestly.

The bloodthirsty impulse came over him again, like a hungry wolf that hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he was so excited.

"Grandpa, where are you?"

"It's Di Rong."

The Ninth Prince frowned, "Di Rong? A small group of stragglers on the grassland, how can they start this war?"

It's not that he underestimates it, but it's the same for all the tribes on the grassland. They are strong and scattered. They are used to living a free life, so they are never willing to expand their power and unite with the outside world.

Di Rong has at most more than a thousand men and horses, but this small number of men is not enough for him to stuff his teeth.

The interest that had just aroused disappeared in an instant, but Du Fuzi next to him fell silent for a while, and then asked, "My lord, is Di Rong killing everyone in the grassland?"

He was smart, "Well, General Xiao Ji who was guarding Liangzhou sent people to rush back to the east capital city. It happened that the information was sent to me. Di Rong, perhaps it should be called Beidi now, they gathered on the grassland. We have about 100,000 soldiers and horses, and are now sharpening their swords and marching towards Liangzhou."

One hundred thousand!

The grassland soldiers and horses are different from the soldiers and horses of other countries. They have always been brave and good at handling horses, so they can always defeat their opponents with minimal casualties in a confrontation.

Although Liangzhou City has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, the number of Jin troops stationed in Liangzhou and its surroundings was only 50,000. With such a disparity in strength between two and one, the chances of winning were very slim.

"So, my grandfather wants me to lead the troops to rescue Liangzhou?"

The Ninth Prince is not stupid either. He has already said this, so he naturally understands what Duke Wei Guo means.

"There are 200,000 troops and horses in Jeju that have just been drilled. Your Majesty has been struggling to find a place to display them. Presumably, if this news is passed to the palace, these troops and horses will be sent. Two of the lieutenants have already It is for our use, so your highness can just go with peace of mind, when the time comes, the military merits of rushing to the rescue of Xiao Ji and protecting Liangzhou will definitely be in your pocket."
