Poor family mother and son

Chapter 859
"Who's outside?" General Xue shouted dissatisfied.

The voice just now was outside the door, and someone was obviously eavesdropping on them outside the door.

The guard at the door raised the curtain with a embarrassed expression on his face, but under the curtain was the dusty Chu Qing.

"Are you... Chu Qing?" General Xue asked uncertainly.

Chu Qing's face was covered with dust, which somewhat blurred her face, which was very different from the appearance she had when she came here to discuss cotton farming with General Xue.

Chu Qing was standing at the door, and Xiangzi was helping her put on the armor.

Although the archer armor can only be regarded as a low-end version of the armor, it is also very complicated to wear. Chu Qing has been rushing here for twelve consecutive hours, so he really doesn't have much energy to wear this thing by himself.

However, she still designed the scene of wearing armor in front of Xue Zhenghao, because she had already learned Xue Zhenghao's attitude and heard the sound of cannons in the distance.

Chu Qing was able to get here so quickly, in addition to the people arranged by Bai Hua along the way to help change horses, and General Pei who guarded the central border of Xinlun Prefecture gave horses and food support.

General Pei expressed his position to Chu Qing in this way: My old Pei supports you, but as a general guarding the frontier, I can't make my own opinions, and there are only these things that can help you.

This naturally cannot find any faults with others.

But speaking from the bottom of his heart, the generals in the military bases of various places often took advantage of the Chu family's purchase of cotton. Although Chu Qing did not buy it every time, it was always the Chu family boys who came here.

Ordinarily, everyone is acquaintances. Even if General Pei can't mobilize troops and horses for support without authorization, it is always possible to support some armor in advance, right?not at all.

Although he felt a little unhappy, Chu Qing still thanked him for his support. At least General Pei's attitude was much more correct than that of Xue Zhenghao.

Xue Zhenghao didn't send troops!

"Hehe, General Xue, long time no see!" Chu Qing said with a smile, "Would you like some tea as you pass by here?"

Xue Zhenghao felt a little uncomfortable on his face, but politely raised his hand to invite: "Master Chu, please!"

His eyes stared at the guard outside the door fiercely.

The guard pitifully pointed at Chu Qing's waist, where Xiangzi was helping Chu Qing adjust the belt of her armor skirt, where the secret investigator's waist badge was faintly visible.

As long as the Secret Investigation Division's badge is revealed, even the army has to cooperate. Therefore, if Chu Qing reveals his badge and asks the guards to shut up, the guards naturally dare not refuse.

What's the matter, is this showing me off?Xue Zhenghao thought.

The rumbling explosions stopped.

Chu Qing's hand holding the teacup tightened, not knowing what was going on with Xiao Bao, how could they fight now?

The three-day agreement between Chu Qing and King Voss is to allow her time to support Linyang County. Could it be that King Voss has already spread the news of the war here?

He was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just glanced at Xiangzi.

Xiangzi understood, and immediately went to the door to replace the other guards, and sent five people to go.

When Chu Qing was about to take a second sip of tea, there was a sharp sound of suona outside the camp, followed by the sound of horseshoes going away, accompanied by a cry from Chu Qing's guards: "Great victory in the north! King Vos was beaten away by General Motor!" !"

Xue Zhenghao's pupils trembled: What do you mean?Is it really over there?
He turned his eyes around Chu Qing's face suspiciously, trying to see something, but Chu Qing was blowing tea foam with his eyes lowered, and couldn't see anything.

It appears to be true.

How did it end?Didn't you say "three days later", if you want to count, the war should start the day after tomorrow, right?

"Master Chu is on business? Xue is busy here, and just heard the sound of an explosion. I don't know, but there is something wrong in Linyang County, and he is preparing to send troops to help." Xue Zhenghao said.

It was as if he didn't know that Chu Qing's temporary identity was a vanguard officer, and he only assumed that she appeared as a secret investigation officer.

Otherwise, in what capacity did she appear in the barracks without being notified?
Chu Qing put down the teacup, got up and cupped his hands to thank: "Chu is bothering you, Chu is just rushing to rescue the dog, running around thirsty, come to ask for water, so I will leave!"

After Chu Qing finished speaking, she walked out without even mentioning a single word of asking for help.

The sound of the explosion had stopped, no matter what happened to Xiaobao, what should have happened had already happened, Chu Qing just used this method to confirm Xue Zhenghao's refusal to send troops.

"Master Chu..." Xue Zhenghao called to stop Chu Qing, "Aren't you going to support me together?"

"Oh?" Chu Qing turned around: "If nothing unexpected happens..."

This is to remind Xue Zhenghao: I have heard what you said just now, as for how much you heard, you can ask your guard how long I have been standing at your door.

"Farewell!" Chu Qing got on his horse and left.

Pooh!If you stand still, what are you talking about!

Xiangzi and the rest of the guards got on their horses one after another, turned around and cast a contemptuous glance at Xue Zhenghao, and followed Chu Qing with a huff.

Xue Zhenghao looked at the team of people leaving in the dust, bit his cheeks creakingly, and asked in a stern voice: "How many people did she bring?"

The guard outside the door: "Only these 30 people."

Xue Zhenghao turned back and sat back in the chair, his face was icy cold, and he remained silent for a while.

The lieutenant bowed and asked for instructions: "General, the explosion has stopped for a while, shall we set off now?"

According to Xue Zhenghao's original intention: let Chu Qing's mob fight, isn't she capable, she can persist as long as she can.

If you are really brave enough, you can consume as much Voss soldiers and horses as you can, and you should have fewer casualties on your own side. Troop strength is the foundation of generals.

If it is a complete defeat, that's just right, it can be regarded as eliminating a calamity for the court, isn't it rumored that he wants to rebel?This is the act of drawing the line.

Anyway, no matter what, he, the defender of southern border, had to have the bottom line—or else?Is there any hope for those bee camp ant teams?

Although I haven't dealt with Chu Qing too much, I get a lot of money from the Chu family every autumn harvest, so that I won't be assigned to Chu Qing's side by those who want to, and then I will live and die with him.

So right now, those explosions are gone, and the lieutenant will ask this question according to Xue Zhenghao's plan.

"Hmph!" Xue Zhenghao said in a cold voice: "Isn't she not using it? Then let her stand on her own! She applied to be a vanguard officer in the northern border, not my southern border!

This general has never sent such stragglers to fight against the enemy!You just have to send someone to keep an eye on it! "

****************
"You take this!"

At the north city gate of Linyang County, the gatekeepers gave the five guards sent by Xiangzi a big bronze gong, and said, "This thing is easy to carry. You can hang it on the horse and knock all the way without occupying your hands!"

The little pawn heard the sound of suona from a distance, and also heard about the great victory in the north, so he stopped the guards for questioning. Hearing that Master Chu had returned to Linyang County, he forgot to verify their identities and let them go.

He also enthusiastically handed him a gong, telling him not to play the suona while riding a horse, it was too strenuous.

"I leave the matter of beating the gong to you. A few more people will go and let the common people know!" the guard replied.

Suona is a trophy, don't change it!
Xiao Baozi doesn't know what to do now, he doesn't have the time to come here to do publicity, he is here first to spread the word, so he has to frighten the people of Voss.

The guards rushed towards the east gate after entering the north gate. They wanted to go to the cotton fields of the Chu family from there, which was shorter than running around the city wall.

"Victory in the North! King Voss has been sent home!" they shouted along the way, holding iron trumpets in their hands.

Soon, the soldiers at the gate of the city also beat gongs to respond, and immediately, this sentence was spread throughout the county by those who had gongs and drums at home, those who had no gongs and drums but copper basins, those who did not have copper basins but clappers, and those who had nothing but throats. Corner drop.

Then it spread from the county town to the outside of the city, and people rushed to tell each other.
