The world of rebirth
Chapter 109
All the people in the big business are soldiers, as long as they can mount a horse, they are qualified soldiers. 5 people are already quite large and close to half of the population. This is clearly the trend of an all-out war.
In Ning Yunjin's memory, these two years should have been only small-scale frictions.It seems that it was indeed because of my reckless behavior that night that the people in Dashang had doubts about Teacher Ouhou's physical condition. Even if they would not have guessed that the teacher had passed away, they could still be sure that the teacher must be in poor health. Hesitantly, the army went south.
When Ning Yunjin rushed to the palace, many people had already gathered in Qianqing Palace.All the people looked serious, and they obviously valued this unexpected battle very seriously.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses don't sound like much, but when the fifty thousand are cavalry, they can come and go like the wind without the cover of a city, piercing Da Xia's body like a sharp knife, not sucking enough The blood will never stop.
The early preparations for the war started years ago, and the first batch of military rations had already set off on NO.12.This time Wenzhen summoned the courtiers to discuss the selection of generals to lead the army and the plan to send troops.
The troops stationed in the northwest alone can only defend the huge border at most. If you want to free up a mobile army to pursue it, you need to send additional troops.In this way, the general leading the army this time can not only lead a cavalry, but also govern the military system of the three provinces of Shaanxi, Ningxia and Sichuan.
In his previous life, Ning Yunjin had climbed to this position with his illustrious military exploits, so he naturally knew how powerful this general would be as long as he could win the battle.But that time was because the war dragged on for too long, and the battle lasted for several years. The decisive battle was fought when I was in my 20s, so that I had enough time to develop.
But this time, troops were sent directly from Beijing, so they had to follow Daxia's troop dispatching system.
According to Daxia's regulations, if more than [-] troops are dispatched at one time, the clan can only supervise the army, and another general will lead the army.Usually, this clan refers to the prince or prince. The princes of the current emperor are still young, and there are not many brothers who can reassure him. Therefore, the eyes of most people who are candidates for this clan fall on Prince Jin and Prince Lu.
General ministers can't intervene in the clan's battle, but the selection of the general can be said to be a bloodbath. The recommendation of the five elders alone is divided into three voices. The imperial faction, the pro-prince faction and the pro-second prince faction can be said to be distinct.
Naturally, Ning Yunjin didn't have the time to speak on such an occasion, he secretly looked at the prince who was listening very attentively.After finishing the bidding process, Wen Zhen got an extra seat for the prince, started to let him learn to participate in political affairs, and asked him to supervise the reform of storage in the three provinces with him.
Ning Yunjin can feel Wen Zhen's love for the prince. From the aspect of learning, the matter of warehousing involves various aspects such as military affairs and farming affairs. As long as he can sort out the details, he can have a very detailed understanding of political affairs. understanding.
Moreover, the matter of warehousing is beneficial to the country and the people. Although some landlords may be offended during the reform process, as long as it can be done well, it can improve the reputation of the prince among the people. It's good.
Wen Zhen didn't expect to be able to decide on a candidate in one court meeting. In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart, and he just wanted to see the direction of the ministers.The result made him very disappointed. Not only did no one guess his decision, but his ugly face made him even more upset.
Looking at the noisy courtiers, Wen Zhen couldn't help turning his eyes to Ning Yunjin who was standing in the corner.Sure enough, the kid was opening his eyes wide, pretending to be listening very attentively, and was in a daze openly.
Seeing him like this, Wen Zhen's mood improved a little. He really wanted to know Ning Yunjin's opinion on this matter, so he didn't want to listen to these meaningless arguments anymore, so he just called the listener to stop and let Mr. Ge Let's unify our opinions first, discuss again in the afternoon, and recommend candidates at that time.
When Wen Zhen left the hall, the ministers gathered in groups and left together.When there is a major battle, Ning Jingxian is naturally popular as Minister of the Ministry of War, and there are many people around him.
Ning Yunjin looked at him worriedly. After standing for most of the morning, he felt pain in his feet, wondering if his father's body could resist it.He was about to go forward to find Ning Jingxian, but he saw Li Deming walking towards him.
Seeing Chief Manager Li, Ning Yunjin naturally knew that Wen Zhen had invited him, and he just wanted to know why Wen Zhen asked him to attend the court meeting, so he consciously walked towards Li Deming.
Li Deming led him to the side hall, but when the two were away from the sight of the courtiers, he led Ning Yunjin to Wenzhen's bedroom.
This is the first time for Ning Yunjin to set foot in this place after the relationship with Wenzhen changed.In the past, he was able to enter and leave this place without any scruples, but now looking at Wen Zhen who was lazily lying on the soft couch flipping through a book, he felt like he couldn't look directly at him.
Seeing him walking in, Wen Zhen waved his hand away directly.He put the folder in his hand aside and said with a smile, "Here you come? Sit down."
Ning Yunjin was chilled by his overly gentle smile, Wen Zhen pointed to the stool next to the soft couch, although he was full of reluctance, he could only sit obediently on the edge of the stool.
"Tell me, what do you think about this incident?" Wen Zhen looked at him and asked, "Who do you think should be sent?"
Ning Yunjin glanced at him, and said cautiously, "Since the emperor has a final conclusion on this matter, I dare not speak nonsense."
Wen Zhen tapped his fingers on the armrest and raised his eyebrows, "But I just want to hear your thoughts!"
Facing Wenzhen's rascal, Ning Yunjin was speechless!But whoever calls someone the emperor, if he wants to say it himself, so let's say it!
Ning Yunjin thought for a while, then said, "The third prince of the great merchant, Meng or Rao Yong, is good at fighting, and he is Bi Canglang's closed disciple. His three thousand wolf army is a powerful army under Meng Ta's subordinates only after Wang's army. If we want to win this battle, the most important thing is to defeat him."
Not to defeat, but to crush!
Zhen was very satisfied with Ning Yunjin's accurate wording, which showed that this kid also saw the key point.
Ning Yunjin continued, "The only ones who can catch the cavalry are the cavalry. Now the frontier defense can only draw less than [-] cavalry troops, and the rest must be transferred from other places. At present, there are only cavalry in the forward battalion and the guard camp. At most, only these two places can draw so many well-trained cavalry at one time."
Sure enough, this kid can guess his own mind!Just now someone even suggested to transfer troops from Guangdong, Guangxi and the Northeast. By the time the soldiers are in place, the day lily will be cold, which made Wen Zhen very speechless.
He looked at Ning Yunjin appreciatively, and asked again, "Then tell me, whoever I prefer to supervise the army is better!"
Ning Yunjin couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart!
The Qianfeng Battalion is the most elite army in the Great Xia. Its only duty is to guard the periphery when the emperor is on tour. The Guard Battalion is second only to the Qianfeng Battalion, which usually guards the palace gates. Who else can control this kind of army except Wen Zhen himself!Who would Wen Zhen dare to control? ?
Ning Yunjin waved his sleeves, knelt down on the ground, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the imperial conquest is of great importance, please think twice!"
Wen Zhen looked at Ning Yunjin with great interest, feeling amused by this kid's behavior of admonishing him even though he had guessed what he was thinking!He asked, "Besides the imperial conquest, can you have a better way?"
of course not!Ning Yunjin muttered in his heart.Dashang's move this time is obviously a disaster. Now is the time when the grassland is green and yellow. Last year, Dashang did not disturb the border out of caution, but it happened to be hit by a snow disaster. I think many people will not be able to survive by this time. If it's death, it's better to go all out in Daxia.
Only when Da Xia took advantage of their weakest moment to defeat them in one fell swoop would it be possible for Da Shang, a terrifying opponent, to be weakened.Otherwise, when the big merchants catch their breath, even if the other party can't easily break through the checkpoints, the invasion once or twice a year will cause Daxia to fall into the quagmire of war-you must know that the military expenditure to support such a fierce battle is astronomical, even if the whole country It will also make Daxia very strenuous.
What makes Daxia even more helpless is that although the great merchants established a country, they did not have a fixed capital. Instead, they followed the king's account on the vast grasslands. Even if they wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress them, it would be difficult to completely wipe them out.
As a person who broke through the king's account once in his previous life, Ning Yunjin knew the difficulty, and the reason why he was able to succeed back then was because the great master Bi Canglang was not around.The chances of such good luck happening are pitifully rare. After all, Bi Canglang is a well-known technical geek whose only hobby is practicing martial arts at home. Ning Yunjin doesn't think that such success can be replicated this time.
What Ning Yunjin wanted, Wen Zhen could also imagine. If the big businessman wanted to declare war, the Wang Tent must be not far from the troops that went to battle. As long as he could swallow the fifty thousand cavalry, he could counterattack the Wang Tent in one fell swoop. This is what he had to do. The reason for the royal conquest.
But even if Ning Yunjin knew this, it was impossible for him to encourage Wenzhen, otherwise if something happened to the emperor, he, an insider, would not be able to please him!
He pretended to be pious and authentic, "Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, the personal conquests of the imperial chariots are either in times of crisis when the country is about to perish, or in battles that must be won. This battle with the big merchants is really not suitable for you to lead the army yourself."
"You really dare to say it! But I have made up my mind." Wen Zhen glanced at him with a smile, but there was no sense of blame in his words.The two points Ning Yunjin said have long been unspoken rules of the past dynasties, but absolutely no one would dare to say them directly in front of the emperor!
Ning Yunjin also knew that he couldn't change Wenzhen's mind, but he thought of a serious problem and asked, "But how will Bi Canglang deal with it? As long as he's around..."
"I have my own way!" Thinking of Bi Canglang, Wenzhen's eyes darkened, he looked at Ning Yunjin and said, "I will definitely kill this old man, cut off his head and put it in front of the teacher's tomb."
Hearing this, Ning Yunjin felt something was wrong, as if Wenzhen wanted to deal with Bi Canglang himself.
Even though Bi Canglang was seriously injured by the teacher, if he wants to deal with a great master, he must be at least a master in peak condition. Although Wen Zhen is stronger than himself, it should not be possible to be that strong.
The next step of the master is the great master!When he thought of his joke back then, he had a bad feeling.Ning Yunjin put aside the absurd thoughts and comforted himself that he must be thinking wrong, and Wenzhen might just want to gather a group of people to beat Bi Canglang.
But I have to say that Wenzhen's thoughts are very much in line with his wishes. Looking towards the northeast, he said with some melancholy, "I just hope this war won't be delayed for too long, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to Fengtian this summer!"
The hometown of the Fengtian clan is called Fengtian, and now that area has been protected.Last year, before Ning Yunjin was appointed as an official, he asked Wen Zhen for leave, and wanted to fulfill Teacher Ouhou's last wish.But firstly, he was too good-looking at the beginning, I don’t know how many eyes were staring at him, and secondly, no matter how secretive he was about going to Fengtian, it was difficult to hide it from others, so he was stopped by Wenzhen, and he planned to wait until this year when he visited Rehe. Give him an errand to go over.
"Don't worry, Dashang's logistics can't last that long." Wen Zhen said, after he finished talking about this well-known matter, he changed the subject, "I called you here this time, because I want to arrange an errand for you."
Seeing that he finally got to the point, Ning Yunjin looked at Wen Zhen expectantly.
"Hongming did a good job last time, so I want him to be the grain supervisor and escort the second batch of grain to the northwest." Wen Zhen looked at Ning Yunjin and said, "You and the prince have known each other since childhood , and he is a prudent person, so I still want you to assist Hongming this time. After all, it is the first time for Hongming to go to such a bitter cold place, I hope you can take care of him more..."
Although Ning Yunjin really wanted to go to the Northwest, ever since he guessed that Wen Zhen was going to take the imperial conquest, he was worried that this man would bring him with him. Now that he heard that he could not go with him, he was naturally happy.He hastily said, "I swear to the death to guarantee the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"You don't need to kill the enemy, you just need to deliver the food to the naturalized people." Wen Zhen smiled, "You will wait for me there after that."
Ning Yunjin was all too familiar with the terrain in that area, and his mind moved, "Is it possible that the emperor wants to divide the army into three groups? It is indeed a good idea for the army in the middle route to return to the north."
Dividing the troops into three groups is just Wen Zhen's thoughts in his mind. Unexpectedly, Ning Yunjin could already guess his own thoughts just about transporting food. People with their own minds can just peel off the skin and bones and swallow it!
With a hook of his fingers, he rubbed the things that fell from his sleeves in his palms with his fingertips, and looked at Ning Yunjin without blinking.
Ning Yunjin was so frightened by his stare that he almost took two steps back.
"I can't reward you publicly for letting you take care of the prince. How about this, I will give you a little reward in advance." Wenzhen smiled slightly, and suddenly grabbed Ning Yunjin's hand, and put the little thing in his. palm.
When Wen Zhen put things down, he deliberately ran his fingertips across his palms, the strange itchy feeling made Ning Yunjin tremble all over.But before he had time to explode, Wen Zhen withdrew his hand again, and returned to the emperor's posture from a molesting hooligan, making Ning Yunjin unable to vent his anger.
When he saw clearly what was in the palm of his hand, Ning Yunjin said in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, this...isn't right to give it to the minister! You'd better give it to the prince."
Wen Zhen ignored what he just said, and said to himself, "I made this myself, do you like it?"
What he stuffed into Ning Yunjin was a translucent red bone carving talisman, which made Ning Yunjin feel so embarrassing that it was made in the shape of a concentric knot.Bone carving talismans are originally used for gifts from relatives or lovers, so the concentric knot is divided into two types: the concentric knot of mother and child and the concentric knot of love.
In addition to the role of body protection, the concentric knot also has the biggest function of sensing the wearer's physical condition and distance. When the wearer is not in good health, the concentric knot of the other person will appear cloudy. When two The closer the wearer is, the brighter the color of the concentric knots will be.
The only difference between these two concentric knots is that only the mother talisman can sense the child talisman, and only the love talisman can sense each other.
Now that the talisman has not been opened, Ning Yunjin can't tell which one Wen Zhen made!But he felt that this thing was hot when he held it, no matter what kind of thing he should accept.
He said awkwardly, "It is my honor to serve the emperor and His Royal Highness, please take back the reward!"
"I don't dare to give up the gift from the elders!" Wen Zhen ignored his refusal, "It took me a lot of effort to complete this! But my carving is not as good as yours, don't you think you can't hold it?"
Nima!At this time, you will become an adult.Ning Yunjin felt that if he hadn't become more tempered, he really wanted to yell at this guy.
Just when he was choking, Wen Zhen suddenly grabbed his right hand and stabbed his fingertips with something.
Ning Yunjin watched silently as he squeezed the blood drop from the blood needle onto the other concentric knot, then drew it out of emptiness, and silently recited runes, only to see the two concentric knots suddenly glow red, Then it became crystal clear.
Who wants to bring love and concentric knot with you! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Ning Yunjin stared at Wenzhen, only wanting this guy to swallow the ghost thing in his hand.
"This is the first bone carving talisman I have made, and it has been registered." Wen Zhen said to himself.
Anything that is already in the register, even if it is given to the minister, if it is damaged, it will lose its head!Ning Yunjin's expression was a bit ferocious, he took a breath in his chest, and said through gritted teeth, "Your Majesty Long En, I am very grateful."
Ning Yunjin said this as if he was going to bite someone, and the strong rejection on his face made Wenzhen feel a little hurt, but he also knew that his forced behavior would make the boy disgusted.But the battlefield is ruthless. Although he and the prince did not go directly to the front line this time, this kid has a trouble-making physique, and the third prince is watching him covetously. Otherwise, Wen Zhen can't rest assured.
Wen Zhen excitedly asked someone to tie a few red strings, and tied them around Ning Yunjin's neck with his own hands, and specially ordered him not to take them off, so he released the man who was too angry to speak. Walk.
During the war, the court's actions have always been very fast. In just three days, another batch of [-] shi of grain was gathered.However, these grains have exhausted the official warehouses near the capital, and they are used to distribute food and salaries to the officials in the capital. If it were not in such a hurry to prepare for war, even Wen Zhen would not dare to use it without authorization.
On the 20th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Tianshou, Ning Yunjin will serve as the food supervisor, and Prince Hongming will serve as the supervisor of the army. The two will go to naturalization together.
Since the prince was with him this time, not only many officials but also many common people came to watch the prince's guard of honor on Chang'an Avenue.
Wen Zhen did not come forward to see them off, but just stood on the city wall and watched the team go further and further away.As soon as the food transport army set off, heavy snow fell, but he stood up straight like a javelin, looking at the group of people who had become black spots.
Li Deming looked at the thick snow on Wenzhen's shoulders, and wanted to go forward to brush it off for him, but he was worried that disturbed his thoughts.However, Wenzhen was not allowed to prop up the canopy, which made Director Li anxious, but felt that the emperor's thoughts were unreasonable.
The emperor obviously likes Mr. Ning, but he doesn't use him forcefully; the emperor obviously doesn't like Mr. Ning, but he lets him leave Beijing... It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, but Li Deming really can't figure out what Wenzhen's intention is! ?
It was not until the leaving team could no longer be seen that Wen Zhen looked solemn, turned around and said, "Let's go, go back to the palace."
Ning Yunjin was wearing a soft leather armor today. This is not real armor, but something he usually wears for hunting.But this body on him is brand new, after Ning Yunting got the news that he was going to be naturalized, he hurriedly went to find his colleagues to buy it for him.He is a civil servant, so he wouldn't have the chance to do anything. Wearing such a set of soft armor is just to make his family feel at ease.
Seeing that he hadn't left the city yet, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Even though he was wearing a leather vest under the soft armor, Ning Yunjin still felt his hands and feet were cold when he was blown by the bleak wind.
After leaving the capital with the slow prince's guard of honor, they had to go to join the official warehouse and grain team outside the city.Seeing that the officials seeing him off had already started to leave one after another, Ning Yunjin rode his horse to Ning Jingxian and Ning Yunting.
"Father, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, or you can send it here!"
Ning Yunting also said, "That's right, father, you are not in good health, you should change the carriage!"
"You two are just worrying about it." Ning Jingxian looked at the two sons with a proud expression.He looked at Ning Yunjin and said, "As a father, I just want to see my son's heroic appearance! I don't think I will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in my life. I thought Yunting would be able to fight the enemy, but I didn't expect it to be Xiaoer You go first."
"Father, the child is only in charge of logistics this time!" Ning Yunjin laughed, "Actually, if the prince is not going, it will not be my turn."
Ning Jingxian nodded, knowing that he was telling the truth.
After all, the prince has a special status, he is still young, and it is his first time supervising the army, so it is not good to send someone who is too old to cooperate with him.Therefore, the fact that the food supervisor went north this time fell on Ning Yunjin, who acted safely but was about the same age as the prince, and did not cause any controversy. Thanks to his deeds over the years, no one doubted that Pai Would it be wrong for two yellow-haired boys to do such a big event.
"I can't beat you, Yunting, go and call the carriage for my father!" Ning Jingxian suddenly changed his subject, Ning Yunting was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to find the carriage, knowing that his father sent him away because he had something to do Talk to my brother.
After Ning Yunting walked away, Ning Jingxian whispered, "The emperor transferred the prince away at this time, I am afraid it is to suppress Zuo Shijia and Anping's family. As a father, I am only worried that someone will jump the wall in a hurry. You and the prince are alone Always be more careful outside.”
His words made Ning Yunjin's eyes widen immediately, but he quickly realized the meaning of his father's words, and nodded thoughtfully.
Ning Jingxian believed that with his son's wisdom, he would be able to comprehend it, so he stopped there.He patted Ning Yunjin on the shoulder benevolently, and instructed, "When you're away from home and you're close to the front line, safety is the most important thing. Remember not to act recklessly and worry your family."
"Save it, son." Ning Yunjin looked at him reluctantly, "Father should also pay more attention to his health and take medicines on time."
When Ning Yunting brought the carriage over, he saw his father and younger brother exhorting each other stickily, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.No wonder his father wanted to send him away, he didn't want to hear such nasty words.
In Ning Yunjin's memory, these two years should have been only small-scale frictions.It seems that it was indeed because of my reckless behavior that night that the people in Dashang had doubts about Teacher Ouhou's physical condition. Even if they would not have guessed that the teacher had passed away, they could still be sure that the teacher must be in poor health. Hesitantly, the army went south.
When Ning Yunjin rushed to the palace, many people had already gathered in Qianqing Palace.All the people looked serious, and they obviously valued this unexpected battle very seriously.

This is the first time for Ning Yunjin to set foot in this place after the relationship with Wenzhen changed.In the past, he was able to enter and leave this place without any scruples, but now looking at Wen Zhen who was lazily lying on the soft couch flipping through a book, he felt like he couldn't look directly at him.

What Ning Yunjin wanted, Wen Zhen could also imagine. If the big businessman wanted to declare war, the Wang Tent must be not far from the troops that went to battle. As long as he could swallow the fifty thousand cavalry, he could counterattack the Wang Tent in one fell swoop. This is what he had to do. The reason for the royal conquest.
But even if Ning Yunjin knew this, it was impossible for him to encourage Wenzhen, otherwise if something happened to the emperor, he, an insider, would not be able to please him!
He pretended to be pious and authentic, "Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, the personal conquests of the imperial chariots are either in times of crisis when the country is about to perish, or in battles that must be won. This battle with the big merchants is really not suitable for you to lead the army yourself."
"You really dare to say it! But I have made up my mind." Wen Zhen glanced at him with a smile, but there was no sense of blame in his words.The two points Ning Yunjin said have long been unspoken rules of the past dynasties, but absolutely no one would dare to say them directly in front of the emperor!
Ning Yunjin also knew that he couldn't change Wenzhen's mind, but he thought of a serious problem and asked, "But how will Bi Canglang deal with it? As long as he's around..."
"I have my own way!" Thinking of Bi Canglang, Wenzhen's eyes darkened, he looked at Ning Yunjin and said, "I will definitely kill this old man, cut off his head and put it in front of the teacher's tomb."
Hearing this, Ning Yunjin felt something was wrong, as if Wenzhen wanted to deal with Bi Canglang himself.
Even though Bi Canglang was seriously injured by the teacher, if he wants to deal with a great master, he must be at least a master in peak condition. Although Wen Zhen is stronger than himself, it should not be possible to be that strong.
The next step of the master is the great master!When he thought of his joke back then, he had a bad feeling.Ning Yunjin put aside the absurd thoughts and comforted himself that he must be thinking wrong, and Wenzhen might just want to gather a group of people to beat Bi Canglang.
But I have to say that Wenzhen's thoughts are very much in line with his wishes. Looking towards the northeast, he said with some melancholy, "I just hope this war won't be delayed for too long, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to Fengtian this summer!"
The hometown of the Fengtian clan is called Fengtian, and now that area has been protected.Last year, before Ning Yunjin was appointed as an official, he asked Wen Zhen for leave, and wanted to fulfill Teacher Ouhou's last wish.But firstly, he was too good-looking at the beginning, I don’t know how many eyes were staring at him, and secondly, no matter how secretive he was about going to Fengtian, it was difficult to hide it from others, so he was stopped by Wenzhen, and he planned to wait until this year when he visited Rehe. Give him an errand to go over.
"Don't worry, Dashang's logistics can't last that long." Wen Zhen said, after he finished talking about this well-known matter, he changed the subject, "I called you here this time, because I want to arrange an errand for you."
Seeing that he finally got to the point, Ning Yunjin looked at Wen Zhen expectantly.
"Hongming did a good job last time, so I want him to be the grain supervisor and escort the second batch of grain to the northwest." Wen Zhen looked at Ning Yunjin and said, "You and the prince have known each other since childhood , and he is a prudent person, so I still want you to assist Hongming this time. After all, it is the first time for Hongming to go to such a bitter cold place, I hope you can take care of him more..."
Although Ning Yunjin really wanted to go to the Northwest, ever since he guessed that Wen Zhen was going to take the imperial conquest, he was worried that this man would bring him with him. Now that he heard that he could not go with him, he was naturally happy.He hastily said, "I swear to the death to guarantee the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"You don't need to kill the enemy, you just need to deliver the food to the naturalized people." Wen Zhen smiled, "You will wait for me there after that."
Ning Yunjin was all too familiar with the terrain in that area, and his mind moved, "Is it possible that the emperor wants to divide the army into three groups? It is indeed a good idea for the army in the middle route to return to the north."
Dividing the troops into three groups is just Wen Zhen's thoughts in his mind. Unexpectedly, Ning Yunjin could already guess his own thoughts just about transporting food. People with their own minds can just peel off the skin and bones and swallow it!
With a hook of his fingers, he rubbed the things that fell from his sleeves in his palms with his fingertips, and looked at Ning Yunjin without blinking.
Ning Yunjin was so frightened by his stare that he almost took two steps back.
"I can't reward you publicly for letting you take care of the prince. How about this, I will give you a little reward in advance." Wenzhen smiled slightly, and suddenly grabbed Ning Yunjin's hand, and put the little thing in his. palm.
When Wen Zhen put things down, he deliberately ran his fingertips across his palms, the strange itchy feeling made Ning Yunjin tremble all over.But before he had time to explode, Wen Zhen withdrew his hand again, and returned to the emperor's posture from a molesting hooligan, making Ning Yunjin unable to vent his anger.
When he saw clearly what was in the palm of his hand, Ning Yunjin said in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, this...isn't right to give it to the minister! You'd better give it to the prince."
Wen Zhen ignored what he just said, and said to himself, "I made this myself, do you like it?"
What he stuffed into Ning Yunjin was a translucent red bone carving talisman, which made Ning Yunjin feel so embarrassing that it was made in the shape of a concentric knot.Bone carving talismans are originally used for gifts from relatives or lovers, so the concentric knot is divided into two types: the concentric knot of mother and child and the concentric knot of love.
In addition to the role of body protection, the concentric knot also has the biggest function of sensing the wearer's physical condition and distance. When the wearer is not in good health, the concentric knot of the other person will appear cloudy. When two The closer the wearer is, the brighter the color of the concentric knots will be.
The only difference between these two concentric knots is that only the mother talisman can sense the child talisman, and only the love talisman can sense each other.
Now that the talisman has not been opened, Ning Yunjin can't tell which one Wen Zhen made!But he felt that this thing was hot when he held it, no matter what kind of thing he should accept.
He said awkwardly, "It is my honor to serve the emperor and His Royal Highness, please take back the reward!"
"I don't dare to give up the gift from the elders!" Wen Zhen ignored his refusal, "It took me a lot of effort to complete this! But my carving is not as good as yours, don't you think you can't hold it?"
Nima!At this time, you will become an adult.Ning Yunjin felt that if he hadn't become more tempered, he really wanted to yell at this guy.
Just when he was choking, Wen Zhen suddenly grabbed his right hand and stabbed his fingertips with something.
Ning Yunjin watched silently as he squeezed the blood drop from the blood needle onto the other concentric knot, then drew it out of emptiness, and silently recited runes, only to see the two concentric knots suddenly glow red, Then it became crystal clear.
Who wants to bring love and concentric knot with you! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Ning Yunjin stared at Wenzhen, only wanting this guy to swallow the ghost thing in his hand.
"This is the first bone carving talisman I have made, and it has been registered." Wen Zhen said to himself.
Anything that is already in the register, even if it is given to the minister, if it is damaged, it will lose its head!Ning Yunjin's expression was a bit ferocious, he took a breath in his chest, and said through gritted teeth, "Your Majesty Long En, I am very grateful."
Ning Yunjin said this as if he was going to bite someone, and the strong rejection on his face made Wenzhen feel a little hurt, but he also knew that his forced behavior would make the boy disgusted.But the battlefield is ruthless. Although he and the prince did not go directly to the front line this time, this kid has a trouble-making physique, and the third prince is watching him covetously. Otherwise, Wen Zhen can't rest assured.
Wen Zhen excitedly asked someone to tie a few red strings, and tied them around Ning Yunjin's neck with his own hands, and specially ordered him not to take them off, so he released the man who was too angry to speak. Walk.
During the war, the court's actions have always been very fast. In just three days, another batch of [-] shi of grain was gathered.However, these grains have exhausted the official warehouses near the capital, and they are used to distribute food and salaries to the officials in the capital. If it were not in such a hurry to prepare for war, even Wen Zhen would not dare to use it without authorization.
On the 20th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Tianshou, Ning Yunjin will serve as the food supervisor, and Prince Hongming will serve as the supervisor of the army. The two will go to naturalization together.
Since the prince was with him this time, not only many officials but also many common people came to watch the prince's guard of honor on Chang'an Avenue.
Wen Zhen did not come forward to see them off, but just stood on the city wall and watched the team go further and further away.As soon as the food transport army set off, heavy snow fell, but he stood up straight like a javelin, looking at the group of people who had become black spots.
Li Deming looked at the thick snow on Wenzhen's shoulders, and wanted to go forward to brush it off for him, but he was worried that disturbed his thoughts.However, Wenzhen was not allowed to prop up the canopy, which made Director Li anxious, but felt that the emperor's thoughts were unreasonable.
The emperor obviously likes Mr. Ning, but he doesn't use him forcefully; the emperor obviously doesn't like Mr. Ning, but he lets him leave Beijing... It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, but Li Deming really can't figure out what Wenzhen's intention is! ?
It was not until the leaving team could no longer be seen that Wen Zhen looked solemn, turned around and said, "Let's go, go back to the palace."
Ning Yunjin was wearing a soft leather armor today. This is not real armor, but something he usually wears for hunting.But this body on him is brand new, after Ning Yunting got the news that he was going to be naturalized, he hurriedly went to find his colleagues to buy it for him.He is a civil servant, so he wouldn't have the chance to do anything. Wearing such a set of soft armor is just to make his family feel at ease.
Seeing that he hadn't left the city yet, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Even though he was wearing a leather vest under the soft armor, Ning Yunjin still felt his hands and feet were cold when he was blown by the bleak wind.
After leaving the capital with the slow prince's guard of honor, they had to go to join the official warehouse and grain team outside the city.Seeing that the officials seeing him off had already started to leave one after another, Ning Yunjin rode his horse to Ning Jingxian and Ning Yunting.
"Father, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, or you can send it here!"
Ning Yunting also said, "That's right, father, you are not in good health, you should change the carriage!"
"You two are just worrying about it." Ning Jingxian looked at the two sons with a proud expression.He looked at Ning Yunjin and said, "As a father, I just want to see my son's heroic appearance! I don't think I will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in my life. I thought Yunting would be able to fight the enemy, but I didn't expect it to be Xiaoer You go first."
"Father, the child is only in charge of logistics this time!" Ning Yunjin laughed, "Actually, if the prince is not going, it will not be my turn."
Ning Jingxian nodded, knowing that he was telling the truth.
After all, the prince has a special status, he is still young, and it is his first time supervising the army, so it is not good to send someone who is too old to cooperate with him.Therefore, the fact that the food supervisor went north this time fell on Ning Yunjin, who acted safely but was about the same age as the prince, and did not cause any controversy. Thanks to his deeds over the years, no one doubted that Pai Would it be wrong for two yellow-haired boys to do such a big event.
"I can't beat you, Yunting, go and call the carriage for my father!" Ning Jingxian suddenly changed his subject, Ning Yunting was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to find the carriage, knowing that his father sent him away because he had something to do Talk to my brother.
After Ning Yunting walked away, Ning Jingxian whispered, "The emperor transferred the prince away at this time, I am afraid it is to suppress Zuo Shijia and Anping's family. As a father, I am only worried that someone will jump the wall in a hurry. You and the prince are alone Always be more careful outside.”
His words made Ning Yunjin's eyes widen immediately, but he quickly realized the meaning of his father's words, and nodded thoughtfully.
Ning Jingxian believed that with his son's wisdom, he would be able to comprehend it, so he stopped there.He patted Ning Yunjin on the shoulder benevolently, and instructed, "When you're away from home and you're close to the front line, safety is the most important thing. Remember not to act recklessly and worry your family."
"Save it, son." Ning Yunjin looked at him reluctantly, "Father should also pay more attention to his health and take medicines on time."
When Ning Yunting brought the carriage over, he saw his father and younger brother exhorting each other stickily, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.No wonder his father wanted to send him away, he didn't want to hear such nasty words.
