my wife is wonderful

Chapter 276 Lu Xi is missing
Geng Xingshuang entered the tent and found that Zhu Yan had returned. When she saw her coming in, she smiled miserably.

"Are you willing to come in?"

Only then did Geng Xingshuang know that she and Yang Qingmo were talking outside, and the three people in the tent knew about it.

Her face turned slightly red, but she quickly nodded generously and said, "I've said everything I need to say, so why don't you just come in."

"Oh? You've said everything you need to say, so what did you say?" Zhu Yan joked.

"We just said some normal words, um... he told me to be careful, I told him to be careful, and then we said goodbye." Geng Xingshuang summarized it in two sentences and spread his hands to indicate that he had finished.

"That's all?" Zhu Yan asked, Zhan Pei and Jin Bao also stared at her.

Geng Xingshuang was a little confused. Zhu Yan was not that temperamental to ask questions. What's more, she and Yang Qingmo were an unmarried couple. The whispers between the two, given Zhu Yan's personality, were normal. But why would you keep asking like this?

Seeing her confused look, Zhu Yan felt a little funny, but also a little helpless.

Geng Xingshuang asked a few more questions, but she just smiled and didn't answer.

It wasn't until they both finished washing and lay down on the bed to rest that Zhu Yancai said, "Did you ask about the process and details of the battle at Yu Jue Mountain?"

Geng Xingshuang was stunned. This...she seemed to have forgotten.

Zhu Yan knew it, but she really didn't ask.

"Oh, I don't know who it is. I was still very curious about how that battle was fought, and how the Zhenyao army managed to escape from the trap under the double attack of King Shen and Xie Kun, and also wiped out most of the rebels. "

Zhu Yan said, paused slightly, and chuckled: "It turns out that this curiosity is also based on looking at others. When we are in front of us, we are very curious. When we face the real master, this curiosity is gone!"

Hearing her weird tone, Geng Xingshuang couldn't help but stretched out his hand to tickle her, "Why do you speak so strangely? Humph, don't talk about me. You are a little special today too."

"How am I special?"

"Extremely excited, extremely excited. I can't see the desolate and silent feeling in the desert at all in you now. It's just from one extreme to the other. Tell me, why are you so excited? "Excited, don't tell me that you are like this after meeting Uncle Zhu and Brother Zhu."

Before Zhu Yan opened her mouth, Geng Xingshuang presupposed the excuse she was going to make and blocked it in advance.

Zhu Yan choked and said harshly: "I am so happy just because I saw my father and my eldest brother. Isn't this human nature? After going through a disaster and finally seeing my relatives, I am naturally very happy and excited."

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "It is indeed human nature, but I just know that you are not only so happy because of seeing Uncle Zhu and Brother Zhu, there must be other reasons, tell me quickly."

"Okay, just say it." Zhu Yan paused briefly and said cheerfully: "My father has already heard Master Nie report about our experience in the desert. I listened to his tone and praised Master Nie a lot. Later I When they were about to leave, His Highness King Jin and Lord Nie went. His Highness King Jin wanted to go to Gaofeng with the army. My father originally did not want to agree. It was King Jin who asked Lord Nie to personally protect him, so my father relented. Shuang Sister, I think my father is very satisfied with Mr. Nie."

Although Zhu Yan had revealed her admiration for Nie An in the past, she had never expressed her preference as directly as she did now. This almost told her clearly that she thought Nie An was very good and could become the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhen Guo. .

It was too refreshing, too direct and too fast, which caught Geng Xingshuang off guard.

"Sister Yan, when did you and Senior Brother Nie have such a consensus?" Apart from the experience of coming back from the desert, they probably had no chance to meet and get along.

"It's not a consensus. Maybe I'm in unrequited love. That's not necessarily what others think."

"Hehe, when I was talking to Brother Yang Liu today, Senior Brother Nie kept hanging around us. He just wanted to know your thoughts from me. In the end, His Highness King Jin couldn't stand it and took him away."

Geng Xingshuang turned to Zhu Yan and said with a smile.

"Then you...did you tell him?"

"Of course I didn't say it, and you didn't tell me so straightforwardly. How do I know what you think."

"That was because I was too busy some time ago." Zhu Yan explained.

"But now it seems that there is no need for me to say anything. You are so tacitly understanding. However, Uncle Zhu appreciates Senior Brother Nie because Senior Brother Nie is his young general with superb martial arts. If he knew what you were thinking, he would still treat Senior Brother Nie. I won’t be full of praise, it’s hard to say.”

There is a huge difference between a subordinate and a son-in-law.

Zhu Yan naturally knows this truth, but there is no need to think about it so much now.

"I just hope that they can all come back safely. As for what will happen in the future, as long as people are good, there will always be hope." At this point, not only the two of them, but also Emperor Shengning and all the ministers in the court, All the people in Zhidaning should have the same idea.

The next day, Geng Xingshuang wanted to take advantage of Yang Qingmo to send them back to ask about the process and even the outcome of the battle at Yu Jueshan.

As a result, Yang Qingmo had a temporary mission and could not send them off. General Zhu sent someone else to see them off.

She only knew that the Zhenyao army led by Yang Qingmo won the battle, but as for King Shen and Xie Kun, she and Zhu Yan didn't know whether they were dead, captured alive, or even escaped.

The fact is that yesterday, not only did she forget to ask what they both had always wanted to know, but Zhu Yan, that silly girl, also forgot to ask.

"Who are you calling a silly girl?" Zhu Yan tapped Geng Xingshuang's forehead, "I don't ask because even if I open my mouth, my father and eldest brother won't tell me. They always think that I'm still young, and It's a girl who doesn't want to say anything to me, so I'm counting on you. I didn't expect that you, a silly girl, would be fascinated by the beauty as soon as you saw Mr. Yang Liu. You even forgot about business. Now you can only wait. Ask again when they come back.”

Okay, a silly girl and a silly girl, now it’s even, they are a pair of silly and silly good friends.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although the city is very lively, there are more poor people who cannot afford to eat."

After entering Cangcheng, the two opened the curtains and looked outside. They could see many people buying new year goods and preparing to celebrate the New Year. However, the level of liveliness and joy, not to mention compared with Ningdu City, the capital of Daning, was only better than other places. The cities that have experienced wars are also very different.

On the third day after returning to Xin Mansion, Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan were helping Mrs. Xin arrange rice donations from wealthy households in the city.

In addition to Mrs. Xin, other officials and family members of Cangcheng have also been giving porridge all over the city and outside the city gate, trying to help the poor people in Cangcheng survive this winter as much as possible. However, they are helpless because there are more people and less rice, even though they have tried their best to raise money. The food in the porridge shed will not last long.

"Did Lu Xi not deliver the letter? Logically speaking, even if the food hasn't arrived yet, the letter should have arrived."

Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a little anxious as she watched the number of remaining grains in the ledger getting smaller and smaller.

On the second day after they arrived in Cangcheng, Geng Xingshuang asked Lu Xi to send a letter back to Ningdu City. This letter was not only to report that they were safe, but also to help raise food and cotton-padded clothes.

The Daning court was fighting against Yao Mu outside, and King Shen was scheming inside. It could be said that there were internal and external troubles. It was not easy for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to supply enough food and grass for the Zhenyao army.

Although Mr. Liu, the prefect of Cangcheng, has already reported that many houses were destroyed by heavy snow this year and the weather was extremely cold, making it even more difficult for the people of Cangcheng who were already short of food and clothing, he knew in his heart that in previous years, he might occasionally get The imperial court takes care of me, but this year I probably have to rely on myself.

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "If it's Hongfu, it's possible that he'll forget about business because of his fun, but Luxi won't. I'm just worried that it might be in danger."

Green Hi flies very high most of the time, far beyond the range of a bow and arrow, but there will be times when it stops to rest. At that time, it is about to land, in case it hits its back and is discovered in that short moment. Okay... Thinking of this, Geng Xingshuang couldn't sit still.

"Girl, Escort Yu and Escort Xie from Wucheng Escort Bureau are here." Jinbao came in to report.

"Let them in quickly." After Geng Xingshuang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan smiled and said: "We are in the hall now, and we have the experience we had before, and we are in this open-minded Northland. There is nothing to avoid."

Geng Xingshuang smiled and said, "I thought so too."

"Brother Yu Hei, why are you the only one?" Geng Xingshuang glanced at Jin Bao, didn't he mean that Xie Ding was also here.

Jin Bao was about to speak, but Yu Hei said: "Xie Ding, thank you, they are here too, but they are guarding the food outside."

"Food?" Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan looked at each other.

"It's food. It was raised in Ningdu City and escorted by the Yuan'an Escort. Since they had not caught up with the last batch of food transport teams from the Ministry of War, the journey was far away. They took a small road and encountered bandits. Fortunately, although there were injured, none of them were injured. No one died, and the food was saved. It is said that this batch of food was raised by the three princesses' palace, the Zhenguo palace, Prince Ping's palace, and Prince Chun's palace together with the princes and ministers of Ningdu City and the wealthy merchants. It should be enough for the poor people in Cangcheng to survive. This winter.”

Yu Hei knew that Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan were surprised, so he tried to explain the matter as clearly and as quickly as possible.

"Is it what happened after Lu Xi delivered the letter?" If so, then Yuan'an Escort not only took a small route, but at this speed, the escorts and coolies were also exhausted.

"Yes, the people from the Yuan'an Escort Bureau said that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Prince of Anping wrote letters to the two girls. The letters are on Lu Xi. Didn't the girls receive the letters?"

Yu Hei was a little surprised, and Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan were even more surprised. Yuan'an Escort had escorted so much food. With Lu Xi's speed, it should have arrived long ago.

"You're not really being hunted, are you?" Zhu Yan blurted out. As soon as the words came out, she quickly went to see Geng Xingshuang. She knew that the two spiritual swans, Hongfu and Luxi, were her treasures. If this happened One of them died, and she didn't know how sad it was.

Geng Xingshuang's expression changed. She really didn't want to think like this, but Lu Xi was indeed missing, so she couldn't help but think the worst.
