Gu Xiaowu: What can I do?I am also very desperate!

"Left or right?" Shuya asked her brother holding up the scissors.

"To the right... oops!" Shuze yelled, and Shuya, who was so surprised, shook her hand and cut the scissors indiscriminately, then carefully put down the scissors, and unfolded the window grille in her hand—as expected, a corner was missing, Very awkward.

She decided to push all the small mistakes this time to her brother.

"What are you shouting for? Can you meet a ghost?"

"I didn't meet a ghost, but this little girl is better than a ghost." Shuze broke Chunxi's fingers with a sad face, "I am glad that she finally stopped pulling my hairband, but now she is in love with my hair again. It's hard for Uncle Qing not to be pulled into a big bald dish by this little girl."

The little girl seemed to know what Shuze said, and she giggled on the sidelines when she heard his complaints, a bit gloating.

The door door was knocked lightly suddenly, Shuya put down the scissors and red paper and stood up to open the door, just in time to meet the snow-covered Huacishu.

After he brushed off the dust from his clothes, he turned around and saw a young girl looking at him with her head tilted to one side with her eyes wide open, she was really cute.

"Is this Chang Ming's daughter?"

"Well, yes", Shuze poured him a cup of hot wine, and accidentally saw Chunxi stretching out her short and fat arms to Huacishu, so she had to quickly stop what she was doing, and hugged Chunxi to Huacishu Tree, and explained: "She wants to hug."

Huacishu looked very surprised, but still took Chunxi and rattle.

At this time, Yijing, who was busy kneading dough in the kitchen, asked casually, "How come the tree of flowers hasn't arrived yet?"

Without raising his head, Chang Ming chopped up two kitchen knives and said, "Perhaps something in the army has delayed it."

"No delay," Shuze came in, "he is playing with Chunxi in the front hall."

"Huh?" Chang Ming was very surprised, this should be the first time Hua Cishu saw Chunxi, and they even played together.

"As soon as Chunxi saw Commander Hua, he reached out to hug him," Shuze shrugged and explained, then turned to pick up the mushroom and took the kitchen knife, and was about to take out another chopping board to help Chang Ming, but they were stopped by both of them Next, let him go out to rest and wait for the Marquis Ling to come.

Just when Shuze was about to refuse the kindness, she heard Shuze calling for her mother to come back from the front hall, and without saying a word, she swung the knife and went out, leaving behind a dumbfounding Yijing and Changming.

Chen Ying attracted Wan Shanquan to come in, and Tong Yijing said: "It seems that there are other important matters in the court, Xing Cheng and father must come back later, Xing Cheng said, if you can't wait, let's have dinner first, don't starve the child .”

"Another major event in the court?" Chang Ming stopped, looking at Yijing and Chenying.

"It's not that there is another major incident, but that this matter has never been closed."

Chang Ming suddenly said: "Is it reckless?"

Chen Ying also said that Hu Mang's civil strife is about to subside soon, but this matter is very costly to Hu Mang, the country is empty, and there is no agricultural production. He has always lived on animal husbandry, so he may not be able to do without some looting.

"It's a matter of the country's great interests. It's rare to find peace in the country these days, and the treasury has a surplus. Both Mr. Gu and Mr. Gan are unwilling to fight again, and they have to guard against it."

Yijing pondered and said: "But if it's Chen Bing's border, wouldn't it be an excuse for Hu Mang..."

Xing Cheng sighed and nodded: "Therefore, someone needs to be reckless again and secretly respond internally."

"Because Lord Hou is in business, so you condemn him to go?"

"That's right," Xing Sheng said to Yi Jing with worry in his eyes, "The current situation is chaotic, and my father is also very old, so it's really not suitable to go, so I thought, it would be better if I went."

"What's so good!" Lingjun Hou Nanrong Juncong gave him a glare, "You just came back with a serious injury, how do you have the energy to run around?"

"Hou Ye is right." Yi Jing nodded, his eyes glanced over Chang Ming's face inadvertently, and finally said: "You are getting more and more familiar with military affairs, why don't I go."

"No!" Xingcheng flatly refused, "You go, what should we do with this huge Ningwu? I still don't know about the preparations and command of the army. If the war is about to start, the Ningwu army will definitely be mobilized. How can there be fewer by then? you?"

Ling Junhou spread his hands: "I can only go."

"I'll go." A woman's voice surprised everyone, and Xing Cheng looked back in shock. As expected, it was Chen Ying who was speaking, and he refused without thinking: "No! It's too dangerous!"

Chen Ying asked back: "I also lived in the Northwest region for a period of time, and I am proficient in the language of the reckless. I have neither serious injuries nor military affairs. Isn't it a better choice?"

"But just in case..."

"I'll go with Chenying." Chang Ming said calmly, this time it was Yijing with an unbelievable expression on his face, but he just looked into Yijing's eyes and said word by word: "With my protection, There is no need to worry about Chen Ying Zhou Quan."

Yijing anxiously thinks of a legitimate reason to reject Changming.

"Chun Xi is still young..." Chen Ying seemed to be unable to bear it.

"As a businessman, you always have to walk back and forth." Chang Ming tried his best to make himself look determined. "Besides, her father should take good care of her. When it comes to war, who doesn't have a family?"

These words sounded like they were convincing everyone, but Chang Ming knew it was just convincing himself.

Why should it be us?Chang Ming thought bitterly.

Perhaps it is also a good thing that he has never been the commander of the Seventh Battalion. He can hold his daughter in Yijing's room with peace of mind, and spend his years laughing and laughing.

He bowed his head with the crowd behind his back and sighed, knowing that he would eventually choose Tong Chenying to go to the Northwest. Maybe it was not doomed on the day he became the commander of the Seventh Battalion, but the future was written from the time of his arduous martial arts practice. .

The dinner that was supposed to be enjoyable that day turned into a table of bitter silence for everyone, and even after Yijing returned to the room, he was unwilling to speak.

"It'll be fine, Chen Ying and I will go back and forth many times a year..."

Chang Ming also didn't know how to comfort Yi Jing.

But Yijing didn't look back at him, but slowly sat down on the round stool while supporting the table, his hoarse voice seemed to be crying the final and initial parting.

"I knew from the beginning that when you come back, Gu Xiaowu will transfer you to the Anwu Army... Being a small seventh battalion commander on the left side of the Ningwu Army will not help your career. Always need to go somewhere better…”

Changming stood behind Yijing, listening to him quietly.

"But even if it's like this, I don't want to! I don't want to live a life where I can only see you once in a few months. What I thought at the time was to lock you at home and not be able to go anywhere!"

But Changming knew that if Yijing could really do such a thing, there would be no such pain.

"Now you want to go to other countries, war-torn lands, no profit but labor, no name but danger, I don't want to agree!"

"Whether you promise me or not, you will go with Chen Ying."

When Chang Ming said these words, his heart felt like a knife was twisted. He felt that he was like the sergeant who committed suicide on the battlefield. He clearly looked forward to returning home, but he still ordered the city gates behind him to be closed tightly to cut off birds and dust.

Yijing just lowered his head: "You're right, I can't stop you..."

Chang Ming couldn't restrain himself any longer, he stepped forward quickly and hugged Yijing tightly.

"Dali Temple has forced Lan Mo to confess to the point of identifying Gan Yi." Lu Yichuan seemed to be a little proud, "As the lord expected, Gan Biao was forced by the lord to speak for Gan Yi." Good word."

"It's rare for brothers to be in harmony." Gu Xiaowu made a joke in a neutral manner.

"But the Gan Family Brotherhood joined forces again."

"Not only that, but they also need to work together to support Prince Xingzhu to ascend to the throne early. In the eyes of outsiders, this should be brotherhood, but Gan Yi knows that Gan Biao is not a peaceful person. Within a few years, you must encourage the rest of the people to wait for him." Give some gifts to the Gan family brothers."

Lu Yichuan couldn't help laughing: "My lord said, it seems that these two people must be fattened before they can be slaughtered."

"It's not that the official is willing to support them, but that the Holy One is always step by step and difficult to deal with."

Lu Yichuan also seemed to have a headache.

"How about Chang Ming and Chen Ying? Have you talked to Gan Yi?"

"Already told the prime minister, he thought about it, but he really couldn't find any other candidates, so he nodded."

Gu Xiaowu didn't nod or shake her head, but silently took other documents around her, studied the inkstone, and was about to start working again. Seeing her like this, Lu Yichuan was also about to step back wisely, but was stopped by Gu Xiaowu again.

"Recently, the reckless civil strife has gradually subsided. I'm afraid I won't have time to see Chai Jinli. Please take care of him and let him prepare to take up his post in the southeast fishing city."

"Fishing City? That place is a place of wealth!"

"That's true." Gu Xiaowu got up and took some documents, and handed them to Lu Yichuan, "I checked the tax there, and it's obviously too little. It's actually caused by local officials' corruption and pleasure. The official ransacked the house to fill the treasury, and then condemned Chai Jinli to take over Yucheng, so he must manage it well, and he must be paid for the war.”

"Yes, the next official will tell Chai Jinli."

Gu Xiaowu waved Lu Yichuan back exhaustedly. He was about to drink tea and rest for a while, but the servant came to disturb him again.

"Master Prime Minister, please go to Zhongshu Province to discuss important matters."

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaowu asked casually while tidying up the table.

"The inner palace guard didn't say anything, but the six ministers and the servant are all within the summons."

"The officer will be there soon."

Gu Xiaowu took the cloak from the rack and prepared to go out.

As expected, Gan Yi made many preparations for the war this time.

"Although the national treasury was short in the early years, we can rectify the administration of officials, return troops to the fields, and encourage farming. Is the current treasury still enough money?"

Gan Biao replied honestly: "The national treasury is getting more and more income, but it is far from the prosperous age. Besides, it is always easy to die and suffer heavy casualties when fighting against reckless. Based on this calculation, the existing wealth of the national treasury can probably support the three-year war. Since then, we have to recruit strong men to join the army, who can do farming?"

"Princess Hu Mang is modest enough to help us. The Ministry of Households needs to raise money quickly."

The Minister of the Ministry of War seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly said: "There is another matter, that is, the Major General of the border. Although Gu Laiqiu's name is difficult to get in the lobby, it is true that he defeated recklessness in the past. Now that Gu Laiqiu has passed away for many years, the army Hou is old, and Bai Xiangying must guard the cold city, who can be handsome?"

Seeing Gan Yi, Gu Xiaowu pursed her lips in annoyance.

If Gu Laiqiu hadn't been harmed by this person, perhaps today's appearance would be different.

"You should pay attention to the truth of this matter." Gan Yi also had no choice but to dismiss her with a few words.
