Chapter 543: Parting and Journey

"I'm leaving tomorrow..."

"I have to leave tomorrow too, so I have to be separated for a few months for this time..."

Du Wan, who originally wanted to say something, saw Zhang Yue turned over and pressed forward again, and the words that came to his lips were immediately suppressed by the kiss. In the days after the couple reunited, they were in love almost every night.

It was Zhang Yue who changed his temperament from the past, especially Zhang Yue. After experiencing the half-month siege of Xinghe, he truly realized what life and death was. Under the dense and fierce rain of arrows like locusts, and under the countless people like reptiles,

Among the enemy's troops, all indifference and low-keyness are bullshit. Although there is no record of Zhu Di's failure in the Northern Expedition in history, as long as there is a war, people will die. No matter how confident he is, he must cherish this moment and let his life rise to the highest level.

Intense time.

He asked for her several times, and then he leaned on his wife exhausted, but did not immediately call for anyone to come in and clean up. Remembering that Du Wan mentioned that Zhang Qi's concubine had a new daughter, he kissed her gently.

He kissed her cheek and then whispered: "I hope I can hear good news when I come back from the north. I just hope that you can have another daughter as smart and clear as you. If so, she will rank among the girls.

Third, the nickname can just be called Sansan."

"You are still thinking about that name, and you are so lazy in naming it. Should the fourth one be called Four Four? If it weren't for the nickname you gave your son, he wouldn't be so lazy, eating and sleeping all day long.

He seldom seems active after sleeping and eating, and even my mother-in-law murmurs that this child is a slacker!"

After finally spending so much time together, Du Wan couldn't help but rub his belly gently, and then his face froze: "The old lady's seventieth birthday is on May 15th, and Xiao Jingguan's birthday is on June 6th.

Zhou, can you come back by then?"

May 15th, June 6th?

Zhang Yue fell silent for a moment. This kind of guarantee is easier to fight than to do. Not to mention whether the emperor will sweep the grasslands when he is in a mood of fighting. Even according to past practice, he will not be able to come back at this time. First.

The Second Northern Expedition was set out in February and returned to Beijing in July, while the Second Northern Expedition was set out in February and returned to Beijing in August. This time it was originally scheduled to be in March when the spring flowers were blooming, but in the end it was changed by the impatient emperor.

In two months, he would rush to Kaiping to coordinate with Xing'anbo Xu Heng to prepare for the transportation of military supplies. How could he make it in time for those two important days?

"I probably won't be able to come back in time. Grandma's seventieth birthday is just this one time, and my son's birthday will not be a second time. I really sacrificed my family for everyone... Forget it, I just said this.

It is better for those Tatars than for them to resurrect, just think that I am doing good things for my descendants!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue felt a tightness in his chest. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and said these words through gritted teeth. Du Wan, who was originally a little sad, couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said.

Well, when Zhang Yue pricked her smooth chin with his beard, she just exclaimed, and then suddenly pulled the beard hard.

"Ouch!"

"Oh, what, oh, you are so boastful. I have never seen you so shameless! It's not easy for you to be so thick-skinned, and your beard can break out... The scars and bruises on your body are just right.

Don’t heal the scars and forget about the pain. You are a civil servant, not to fight with others! Remember, you must come back intact!"

The banter suddenly turned into the last slightly trembling instructions. Zhang Yue, who was already being teased and was about to move, couldn't help but stop his movements. He leaned on his elbows and nodded heavily, then buried his head in Du Wan's hair.

, biting the earlobe and whispered: "Don't worry, it won't be my turn to be brave this time. I will come back safely. I will leave the whole family to you. My parents are here and they will definitely help you with anything. If they leave,

, as long as it’s not a big deal, just follow the eldest brother’s side and don’t have to come forward. And your father-in-law’s side, you can go and read as much as you can. Take those manuscripts back and tell him that I have read them all, but Mr. Xia has already

Put him in jail, please wait for a while before presenting it to the prince, don't present it to the prince first... Well, my father-in-law would never make such a mistake, it's just that I worry too much."

Du Wan only felt that following the words, waves of warm breath penetrated into the ear holes, and there was a more piercing heat between the itches. Even so, she secretly gritted her teeth, and then asked

Said: "What else?"

"And..." Zhang Yue naturally knew what Du Wan wanted to ask. However, the previous matter had to be nodded by his wife, the housewife, but now it was not appropriate to mention it again. At that moment, he pretended to cough and simply whispered

Biting the earlobe, "The other thing is to quickly find another son-in-law for my father-in-law. When I come back, I hope to see them planning a happy event! Oh, since my father-in-law said that he still wants another grandson, we still have to work hard.

It’s too early to count on them!”

The topic was successfully changed, and there was another beautiful scenery in the room. Even though they were separated by a hall, the three people in the west room could still hear these incessant voices clearly. They had to prick up their ears and pay attention to whether there were any instructions inside.

, while they were still thinking about their own things, and the room was warm, their faces turned red after a while.

In any case, the days of unknown concubine's identity are almost over.

Early the next morning, there was more than one person yawning and not having had enough sleep. Du Wan was about to leave for Beijing today, and Zhang Yue was also preparing to leave for Kaiping. He had already packed his luggage before, and now

They were all getting ready to go on the road. Zhang Yue helped Du Wan onto the carriage first, and after giving instructions for a while, he turned around and saw Lingxi Huhu and Qiuhen each carrying a large bundle out of the door, and he stepped forward again.

"Now that the war is about to begin, the roads are full of civilians transporting military supplies. You should be careful. If you have nothing to do, stay in the carriage and don't come out. Also, although the coachman was borrowed by the British government, he walks slower on the road. In short,

Safety comes first, and everything else can be left behind.”

Lingxi saw that after Zhang Yue said this, he gave instructions one by one from Qiuhen Amber. When she arrived, she quickly smiled and said: "This time I am going with Wu'anhou's aunt and the eldest lady. In total,

There are fifty or sixty guards, and we are determined that nothing will happen. Master, please just be at ease..." Just as she was talking, she suddenly noticed that Peng Shisan on the other side looked over, and the rest of the words were just a thought.

I forgot about it and was busy coughing to get over it.

Zhang Yue has always been a person who is good at observing words and expressions. He couldn't see the reason for Lingxi's hesitation, so he didn't point it out at the moment. He sent the three of them to the carriage with a smile. Qiu Hen fell on the last one and stepped on the carriage with one foot.

, but she still glanced back, her eyes filled with an inability to let go. It wasn't until Zhang Yue smiled and nodded at her that she got into the car.

The curtain was lowered, and Cui's mother and Lian Sheng and Lian Hu's daughters-in-law got on another carriage. The others also got on the horse. Turning over and jumping on the horse, Zhang Yue looked at the house where he had lived for several months.

He took another look at the shops on this street that had not yet opened, and let out a long breath. He had already said goodbye to his eldest sister Zhang Qing yesterday, and he did not plan to send his family to the south gate of Changping Gate again at this time. He knew very well that sending

We have to say goodbye after a long journey, so it is enough to say goodbye at home.

Seeing the guards all looking at him, he nodded and said: "It's getting late, you can set off!"

Following this order, a group of guards surrounded the two carriages and gradually headed out. Zhang Yue stood there and watched for a while, then squinted his eyes, waved his horsewhip, and turned around to hit Guangling Gate, the north gate on the other side.

The horse galloped. In addition to the escort and entourage, he also had to bring one hundred and fifty elite cavalry with him on this trip to Kaiping. However, the journey was much farther than the previous trip to Xinghe. After all, compared with Wanquan, which was less than a hundred miles away,

The prosperity inside is truly isolated in Kaiping.

After leaving the Great Wall, Zhang Yue stopped for a while at Xining Station, Ming'an Station, Weilu Station and Huanzhou Station, and walked for four days before arriving at Kaiping. Although he thought in advance that this was an abandoned city, he

After all, the word "Yuan Shangdu" really resonated so loudly that at first glance, he couldn't connect the scene in front of him with the magnificent capital city.

Kaiping, the original capital of the Yuan Dynasty, once had a gorgeous marble palace (palace) built in the past. The rooms inside were all painted with gold and painted with various birds, animals, flowers and trees. It was extremely luxurious and pleasing to the eye. It was the capital and palace of the Yuan Dynasty.

The temporary capital. However, these once prosperous and magnificent palaces of Yuan Shangdu are now ruins, scattered among the smoke and weeds. There are not many buildings in the city, the most are countless tents and a few stone buildings.

The houses and mud houses are also reserved for senior military officers.

At first, a fire from the Red Scarf Army burned the entire Kaiping into ruins. Although Emperor Yuan Shun resisted here for a while, it was eventually defeated by the Ming army twice. In the 30th year of Hongwu, the city facilities were repaired to prepare for the border.

Kaiping Guard, but during the Jingnan period, the Kaiping Guard commander Guo Liangju surrendered all his troops to Zhu Di. After that, he made numerous achievements in the southern and northern campaigns and was granted the title of Marquis of An. However, the Kaiping Guard was abandoned and was not renovated until the fourth year of Yongle. However,

It is a bit more decayed than before. However, compared to Xinghe, which only has a mere earthen fort left, at least the area here is more open, and there are a full 5,000 troops stationed there.

"Kaiping is no longer what it used to be. Before the Kaiping Guards were rebuilt in the 30th year of Hongwu's reign, there were five garrison garrisons in Kaiping on the left, center, right, front, and rear. No Tatars in the entire Peiping capital would dare to provoke, but now they are just

The only Kaiping Guard is left. Look at those post stations when we came here. If it weren’t for the army’s northern expedition, none of the post soldiers inside would be willing to work, and all of them would have been gone long ago!”

When Peng Shisan followed Zhang Fu to Xuanfu to train troops, he had been ordered to come to Kaiping once. Now that he was visiting his old place again, he felt that the dilapidated city wall was not a good sign. Seeing Zhang Yue's frown getting more and more serious, he knew that Zhang Yue

Being in the Ministry of War, it is impossible not to know this, so I sighed again in my heart.
