Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 7754 The reason
Tujia Village.

After a long silence, Zheng Erniang finally calmed down.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least he has calmed down on the surface.

"Sister Zheng, many years have passed, and you are still the same as before, but I am already old."

Ling Rushui, the servant of the Ministry of War, sighed slightly.

For so many years, Erniang Zheng stayed in the cottage and never went out. In fact, she did not suffer much. Although she is over 40 years old, she looks like a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, as if time has frozen on her face. generally.

But Ling Rushui, the servant of the Ministry of War, was two years younger than Zheng Erniang, but he already had gray hairs on his head, gray temples, and vicissitudes written all over his face.

"Ling Rushui, don't say anything close to me. I just want to know why he left without saying goodbye, and why he hasn't heard from him for so many years? I have written so many letters to the imperial court, why has the imperial court never responded?"

Zheng Erniang's expression was indifferent, like frost.

"These, I will explain to you one by one."

"You don't need to talk about anything else, tell me, is he still alive?"

Asked this sentence, Zheng Erniang's mood fluctuated again, that kind of uncontrollable fluctuation.

"He's still alive." Ling Rushui sighed.

"Hehe, he is still alive. A good man doesn't live long, but a disaster will last for thousands of years. He is a disaster!"

Zheng Erniang laughed for a while, and then tears flowed from her eyes.

"He's still alive...how is he still alive?"

She muttered to herself for a while, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Where is he?"

"He's on Seven Leaf Island in the sea."

"Qicye Island? He hasn't shown up for so many years, so he just stays in Qiye Island?"

"Yes, he stayed in Qiye Island for 20 years..." Ling Rushui said.

"Then why didn't he show up?"

"It's not that he doesn't want to come back, it's that he can't come back. Three months after he arrived on Qiye Island, he was infected with a strange toxin..."

"After being poisoned, he can't see, hear, and move his body. He can think about things except his brain, so he's no different from a dead person." Ling Rushui continued.

"He, he turned out to be like this."

Zheng Erniang said in a daze, most of the anger that was originally full of anger dissipated immediately, and extremely complicated emotions came in a flash.

This was something she hadn't expected.

She thought about that man abandoning his wife and son, and about that man being plotted against by the court, but she never thought about that man's situation.

"Fortunately, there are people around him who take care of him. After so many years, he has survived, and recently he was finally detoxified. But after so many years, even though he can see and hear, he is still unable to speak or stand up. "A pain flashed across Ling Rushui's eyes.

Who in a normal person can bear that kind of boundless pain?
What's more, that person is his elder brother, the very proud Tanhua Lang in the past.

"He, how is he now?"

All of Zheng Erniang's resentment disappeared in an instant, but she was extremely anxious.

"It's not very good. I still can't move. I can barely speak a few words. He told me to bring you the jade pendant." Ling Rushui said.

"I want to see him."

Zheng Erniang knew that there were still many problems in it, but she didn't want to know eagerly now.

Now, she just wants to see him sooner!
"Okay, I'm going to take you to meet him this time, and there are some other things that you will know when you get to Qiye Island." Ling Rushui said.

"Little Brother Ling, do you have other things to do when you come to my cottage?" Zheng Erniang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, sat down, and said slowly.

Hearing Zheng Erniang's address, Ling Rushui was excited.

This means that Zheng Erniang has accepted him.

Back then, Erniang Zheng called him that.

"One thing, the imperial court wants to recruit the Tujia army to go north to help Marshal Yue." Ling Rushui said.

"According to the previous contract, the Tujia army can be dispatched, but all expenditures will be borne by the imperial court..."

"In addition, you are responsible for solving the recent famine of the Tujia people." Zheng Erniang thought for a while.

"These conditions are easy to talk about." Ling Rushui said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Take action, you go and talk to my son, and I'll pack up my things, and when we're ready, we'll be on our way."

Zheng Erniang stood up, she couldn't wait anymore, more than 20 years have passed.

At this moment, thoughts flooded in like a tide.

She couldn't wait for a moment.

"Okay, I'll let others talk to your son, and I'll wait for you outside now."

Ling Rushui is a decisive person, he arranged several plans early in the morning.

And Zheng Erniang's current move was also within his plan.

Zheng Erniang packed things very quickly, she didn't have a few items, she only prepared a few clothes, and rode away with Ling Rushui.

It was Wai Lang Ma Fujun, a member of the Ministry of War, who stayed in the cottage to talk with Zheng Xiong in detail.

Ma Fujun is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and he is a rising star in the Ministry of War. The court appointed him this time, and it is true that he has high hopes for him.

"Brother Zheng, I will be with you this time going north." Ma Fujun said with a smile.

At this time, all the conditions have been negotiated, and Zheng Xiong also let go of his heavy mind.

He is not afraid of fighting, but he is afraid of some affairs in the clan.

"Our Tujia army will be assembled soon, at most two days." Zheng Xiong laughed a few times and said.

"So fast?" Ma Fujun was slightly surprised.

"Of course, we Tujia people have never been stranded in martial arts in battle, and we are always training our bodies." Zheng Xiong said quite proudly.

"How many people can we gather? It's best to be in the prime of life, and the old, weak, sick and disabled should not go." Ma Fujun asked.

"Naturally, we are in the prime of life. We Tujia people are very honest. In this area, we can do whatever we want if we don't cheat..."

Zheng Xiong paused and said: "Probably about 8000 people can be gathered, no more."

"Okay, eight thousand is eight thousand, it's enough."

Ma Fujun nodded.

If it is eight thousand elite soldiers, it is enough to deal with tens of thousands of ordinary troops.

The Tujia army is recognized as a special force, so don't think that they seldom go to the battlefield, and underestimate them. If they are used well, they can definitely be regarded as a surprise soldier.

"Master Ma, with so many of us, how do we go to the north?"

What Zheng Xiong is most concerned about is how will the 8000 people travel?

"Go get the food and grass first, and set off together..."

"Walk to the pier, we will take a boat to the north." Ma Fujun said.

"Take a boat..."

Zheng Xiong's face changed slightly when he heard that he was going to take a boat.

He is a good guy on land, but he is not so good on this boat.

He had been on a boat once, and almost vomited the food in his stomach that time.

"Can we not take the boat?" Zheng Xiong asked.

"That won't work, we can't go to the north quickly without a ship."

Ma Fujun continued: "Don't worry, we have a new medicine for seasickness."
