The hall that had just been crowded became empty in an instant.

Sister Su stood on the right with her mother and sisters-in-law. She lowered her head and looked very virtuous.

The old lady of the Duke of England looked at her and was satisfied. She waved at Sister Su, "Sister Su, come to grandmother's side."

Sister Su quickly glanced at her mother and then hurried to the old lady's side.

The old lady touched her head as if she was loving her, "In the blink of an eye, our Sister Su has grown into a big girl. Look at your tender face. Grandmother seems to remember that you were a spoiled baby in your mother's arms!"

These words were said carelessly and had been used thousands of times. When Second Young Lady was talking about marriage, Old Madam of the British Public House said the same thing. When Fourth Young Lady was talking about marriage, Old Madam of the British Public House also said the same thing. Now, she said the same thing to Sister Su. The whole family immediately pricked up their ears.

Although Sister Su did not like this grandmother very much, she still did her best to save face, "Granddaughter thanks grandmother for your concern."

"Sigh, my good granddaughter." The old lady of the Duke of England said emotionally. It seemed that her old eyes were about to be filled with tears.

If the whole family did not know that this old lady did not like girls, they would probably be moved by this scene of granddaughter and granddaughter.

The servant girl beside her handed the old lady a handkerchief at the right time. The old lady took it and wiped the corner of her eyes.

"Eldest Young Lady, grandmother can't force you to stay. In the past few days, I have discussed with your grandfather and have chosen a good marriage for you. You and your mother are familiar with this groom's family. He will be our mansion's top scholar!"

Sister Su was shocked when she heard this. She could not control her emotions for a moment and immediately wanted to refuse. But before she could say anything, she was pulled by her mother.

The first wife said happily, "That is really a good marriage. Mother, thank you for your concern."

Suddenly, the whole hall was filled with all kinds of expressions!

It was really wonderful!

Sister Yuan stood beside her mother. When she heard the news, her eyes widened as if she was unwilling to believe it.

Master Xiao was handsome and a top scholar, but he actually wanted to marry Sister Su!

How could it be!

After high school, Xiao Bojian frequently went in and out of the Duke of England. Because he was in high school, the Duke of England was very willing to treat him as their own grandson.

He had already made a name for himself in the Imperial College before he took the imperial examination. After high school, he became even more sought after by men and women in Shengjing City.

In the past, Sister Yuan did not see him. Later, when Xiao Bojian frequently went in and out of the Duke of England, Sister Yuan found a chance to sneak a peek. That one look made her heart fall on Xiao Bojian.

Sister Yuan was not young anymore. She would be fifteen after the New Year and it was time to discuss marriage.

Xiao Bojian had a bright future ahead of him. Now that she heard that her grandmother wanted to betroth Sister Su to him, how could she agree?

Su and Sister Su and Sister Yuan's Mother's Uncle.

When she saw a chance, she, Sister even more to hued to her mother 'mother's hand and beg. in to Sister's. Su's mother's daughter and said. by. by. Su' Sister. Su's.,.

When Sister Yuan saw that there was hope, she hugged her mother even harder and acted like a spoiled child. She wanted her mother to convince Grandmother to let her marry Xiao Bojian.

In any case, the matter was not set in stone yet. This matter had only been discussed among the members of the family.

Sister Su had let Chu Lian marry into Count Jing 'an's estate because she was sick. If it didn't work, she could just let her get sick again.

Liangzhou and Su City were still in a state of anxiety. They did not have the relaxed New Year atmosphere of Shengjing City.

He Changdi stood in front of the tent and looked up at the gray sky. It was already evening. It was not far from nightfall.

Time was slowly approaching Xiao Bojian's "time of death".

He looked in the direction of the commander's tent and saw Xiao Bojian slowly walking towards him with the guard beside him.

Suddenly, He Sanlang's eyes narrowed. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his cold face.

Xiao Bojian had only taken two steps when he was called back by a soldier who had rushed over.

});

})();

Xiao Bojian's previously relaxed expression suddenly changed. His eyes were dark, like a monster that wanted to devour people. "What did you say?

The Min Family's army is here? "

The soldier shrunk his neck and nodded, not daring to say another word.

Xiao Bojian gritted his teeth and glanced coldly at He Changdi's tent. He happened to see He Changdi standing outside with his hands clasped behind his back. They were clearly separated by a great distance, but the two men's gazes seemed to be clashing in the air.

A crackling sound suddenly rang out in the sky that was covered by dark clouds.

The Min Family's army was the official army that guarded the Min River Road. There were thirty thousand people. The commander of the Min Family's army was a close friend of Count Jing 'an and was also a subordinate of Prince Jin.

At this time, Zhang Mai and Xiao Hongyu also received the news. Both of them rushed out of their tents and gave He Changdi a punch each. Zhang Mai sighed and said, "Zixiang, if it wasn't for your cunning and diverting Commander Mo's group away when we entered the city, the Min family army would not have been able to come to our rescue."

In his previous life, He Changdi experienced the coldness of human nature, betrayal, and enmity. In this life, how could he not have a backup plan?

In less than half an hour, He Changdi's group was invited to the commander's tent.

Great General Min and Yuan Zhong sat together in the main seat. The Northwest Army only had thirty thousand people. Including the twenty thousand from the Xiang Army, there were only fifty thousand people. The Min Family's army had thirty thousand people, but they were official soldiers. Their weapons and equipment were better than the Northwest Army. If they were to fight, the Northwest Army would not be a match for the Min Family's army.

Moreover, there were 20,000 Xiang soldiers among them. If there was really a conflict, the Xiang army might take advantage of the situation. Yuan Zhong was not a fool and this time he could only lament that He Changdi did things flawlessly. It was him and Xiao Bojian who were careless.

Once the Min Family's army arrived, they lost their best opportunity. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to get the blueprint.

With the support of the Min Family's army, the next day, the Northwest Army gave the rations stored in Su City to He Changdi's group.

Great General Min personally sent He Changdi's group to the outskirts of Qianshan Lake.

Although the Min Family's army arrived in Su City in a short two days, this was not a real military order. Although Prince Jin was holding the fort, the Min Family's army could not stay in Su City for too long.

On the third day after He Changdi's rations transport team left, the Min Family's army also set off for Min River Road.

Xiao Bojian stayed in the tent with a gloomy face. Because the plan had failed, Yuan Zhong's trust in him had decreased. These few days, Yuan Zhong seemed to be avoiding him on purpose. This made Xiao Bojian very angry.

Wei Jia stood quietly behind Xiao Bojian as if he did not exist.

Only when Xiao Bojian called his name did he respond and walked to Xiao Bojian's side. "Master, what are your orders?"

Xiao Bojian paused, then his gaze suddenly became ruthless. "Send the news I wrote yesterday to Liangzhou. I want it done as soon as possible!"

Wei Jia did not dare to hesitate. He responded and quickly left to do his work!

Xiao Bojian fiddled with the warm jade on his waist. When he thought about how He Changdi might have transported the grain to Liangzhou for the benefit of others, he wondered how He Changdi would feel when the time came and whether he would break down.

Although the weather in Su City had been sunny for two days, Liangzhou City was still in the midst of a blizzard. Now, the snow was knee-deep. Even horses found it difficult to walk on the ground.

Chu Lian brought some people to stay in the women's barracks and counted the days on her hands.

Seeing that He Changdi had been gone for ten days, she could not help but start to worry.

According to normal speed, even if he went to Su City to borrow rations, he would be back in ten days. Even if the rations were delayed by two days on the way back, he would still be back in two days.

But now, aside from the endless blizzard, there was no news at all in the border army barracks.

Chu Lian could guess that the border army's rations had reached a critical point.

In the past two days, whether it was the left wing or the right wing, there had been cases of soldiers fainting from hunger.

But even so, the cooks didn't give the starving soldiers an extra bowl of bean porridge.

Now, even the food in the women's barracks was bean porridge, and it was getting thinner and thinner.

Chu Lian glanced at the white millet porridge in front of her. Because she was worried about He Changdi, her appetite had been very poor these days and she had only eaten a few mouthfuls.

Chu Lian waved her hand. "Take it away and give it to the female soldiers guarding the tents."

Currently, the most popular job in the entire female soldier camp was to guard Chu Lian's tent. This was because they would always receive some rewards from the village ruler every day. If it wasn't a bowl of steaming white porridge, it was a few delicious snacks, or even a few pieces of jerky.

Chu Lian had already moved out of Si Mahui's tent. Now, she was living alone in a tent opposite Si Mahui's tent.

According to Colonel Guo, this was specially arranged by He Changdi …

The rations Chu Lian brought with her were limited, so she could not donate them to the border army. Plus, the rations she took out wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the border army's teeth. Occasionally, it would be enough to help one or two female soldiers.

Chu Lian was very popular in the women's barracks, and her status was second only to Si Mahui.

Today, she had just eaten with Wenqing and Wenlan. Bored, she picked up a story book and was flipping through it on the bed.

Outside, the female soldiers reported that their general had arrived.

As soon as the female soldiers finished speaking, the curtains were lifted and Si Mahui, dressed in armor, walked in quickly.

As soon as she saw Si Mahui's serious expression, Chu Lian immediately sat up.

"Sister Hui, where are you going?"

Si Mahui was dressed for war. She even had a silver helmet on her head. She carried her red tasseled spear on her back and had a sword at her waist. Si Mahui walked to Chu Lian's side and looked at her. She said in a serious tone, "The Tuhun soldiers have suddenly gathered their troops and are attacking the frontlines. Lian 'er, I've received orders to immediately lead the troops to the frontlines to support them."

Chu Lian was stunned. She didn't understand why the Tuhun soldiers would attack at this time. The snowstorm was at its heaviest, and it was the coldest time in Liangzhou. Wasn't it still far from the right time?

What exactly went wrong?

After a moment of shock, Chu Lian reacted immediately. "Sister Hui, the frontlines are more important. Hurry and go!"

Si Mahui gripped her sword and nodded. "Lian 'er, I will leave a team to protect you. Take care in the army!"
