Chapter 487
As the war in Shuofeng City intensified, the two civil and military leaders of Shuofeng City: Shuozhou Biejia Yu Yanbai, and Shuozhou General Zhu Tianhe were waiting anxiously outside the south wall of Shuofeng City.
Although Yu Yanbai frowned slightly, his expression was still quite calm, but Zhu Tianhe was already anxious, muttering: "What should we do? What should we do? If the Marquis knows about it, he won't kill us."
"General Zhu, you're already here. It's useless to talk about this now." Yu Yanbai said with a hint of bitterness on his face.
"Oh, it's not easy to do." Zhu Tianhe sighed.
I don't know what the two Shuozhou leaders are worried about.
Soon a series of long convoys appeared outside the south wall. Different from the teams that usually transported grain, grass and equipment, this team was obviously much larger in size, extending to the end of the horizon, and was also escorted by elite cavalry.
"Here we come." Zhu Tianhe muttered, and then they both straightened up and waited.
The convoy soon stopped in front of everyone. Many of the carts were covered with canvas, with vegetables and meat peeking out from inside.
"Hush!"
More than ten cavalrymen quickly came to the front line, and the general at the head turned out to be Ye Xiaoxiao, the general who was staying at Wuguan to defend Wuguan.
Ye Xiaoxiao turned over and dismounted, and said hello to Zhu Tianhe and Yu Yanbai with a helpless expression. Zhu Tianhe glared at him unceremoniously, not giving him a good look at all.
Three high-ranking civil and military officials on Beiliang Road quickly came to a carriage. The curtains of the carriage were opened, and a female figure emerged from it.
Looking closely at her face, she turned out to be Chu Yucheng's wife Zhou Zihan. Zhou Zihan jumped out of the carriage and smiled at the adults, then shouted into the carriage: "Sister, we're here, come out slowly."
A snow-white jade hand poked out from the carriage, Zhou Zihan quickly reached out to hold it, and then a pregnant Ma Ling'er appeared in front of everyone.
"Sister, please slow down!" Zhou Zihan carefully helped Ma Ling'er out of the carriage, with concern on her face. Ma Ling'er was already more than six months pregnant, and her abdomen could be seen clearly bulging.
Normally Ma Linger and Zhou Zihan were very close, but now Zhou Zihan was even more concerned about the pregnant Ma Linger.
"Greetings to Mrs. Hou!" the three people waiting beside the carriage shouted in unison.
It turned out that what annoyed the three of them was that the Marquis of Beiliang's wife came to the front line in person.
"General Zhu, Yu Biejia, you have worked hard to guard the border in Beiliang and fought bloody battlefields for us. These are the vegetables, wine, meat, clothing, and medicines I collected from Liangyou and You, specially for the frontline soldiers."
Linger said with a smile.
"Oh, Mrs. Hou. Wouldn't it be nice to arrange for someone to come and see you off for this kind of thing? You said you are pregnant, so why bother coming to this war-torn front line?" Zhu Tianhe said with a wry smile.
"Master Zhu, what you said is wrong. The men from Beiliang go to the front line to fight for life and death. What's wrong with the women sending some supplies?" Ma Ling'er waved her hand indifferently: "I'm not that rich."
"That's right, what Sister Ma said makes sense." Zhou Zihan also echoed from the side.
"Mrs. Hou, that's not what you meant. It's mainly because you are physically inconvenient. If Mr. Hou finds out, he won't be able to skin us." Yu Yanbai also jumped out and said.
"Okay, you two adults, just don't let him know." Ma Ling'er said with a serious face: "We are already here, so stop talking nonsense and arrange for someone to unload the goods quickly."
Seeing Ma Ling'er's serious look, Zhu Tian and Yu Yanbai looked at each other. Yu Yanbai waved helplessly, and a large number of soldiers behind him quickly stepped forward to help the civilian husband start unloading the goods. Ma Ling'er was worried and also
I followed him to give instructions, and her concerned voice sounded from time to time:
"This is medicine, handle it with care, don't break it."
"These bandages and gauze are all clean and will be given to the wounded soldiers first."
…
Zhu Tianhe sighed when he saw this scene, then kicked Ye Xiaoxiao on the butt, and cursed angrily: "What did you do to this kid? Mrs. Hou is inconvenient, how can she be released from Liangzhou? Hou
What do you do when I leave you to stay in Liangzhou?"
"Oh, my General Zhu Ai, can you blame me for this?" Ye Xiaoxiao said with a sad face: "It's not like you don't know Mrs. Hou's temper, who can persuade her? Even if Mr. Hou is here, there is nothing he can do. Governor Zhou is in Liang
Zhou was so busy that he couldn't get away. He sent a message all night and I led the troops to escort me. I was shocked when I heard the news. I didn't dare to delay for a moment. I quickly brought two thousand cavalry over for fear of something unexpected happening.
.”
"Why don't you just lock the carriage down!" Zhu Tianhe patted Ye Xiaoxiao's head.
Ye Xiaoxiao shrank her head and waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't have the courage to go to you."
Ma Ling'er, who was originally in Liangzhou, heard that the fighting on the Shuofeng front line was intense and there were many casualties. The mobilizing officials raised a lot of food, drink, and medicines to send to the front line in person. Zhou Jingyao tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail, so he had no choice but to
Let Ye Xiaoxiao lead the troops to escort.
Originally, the elders in the family wanted to come together, but they were blocked by Ma Ling'er. The old man still didn't want to come to the front line, so it was Ma Ling'er and Zhou Zihan who came to Shuofeng City together.
"What are the adults muttering about here?" Ma Ling'er slowly walked over and asked.
"Nothing, nothing, we are discussing the war." Zhu Tianhe started to fight.
Ma Ling'er glanced at the sneaky people and said in a deep voice: "I'm telling you, don't have any evil intentions. You princes don't dare to play tricks on me. Immediately send someone to distribute herbs and clothing to the wounded soldiers."
, the food of the soldiers guarding the city also needs to be improved. How can we fight if we don’t have enough food? I will stay in Shuofeng City for the time being to accompany the soldiers on the front line to defend the city."
After saying that, Ma Linger and Zhou Zihan turned around and left, leaving the three officials stunned, with only one thought in their minds:
Auntie, please don't stay here.
"What should I do?" Zhu Tianhe asked anxiously.
It would be no joke if something happened to Ma Ling'er on the front line. Let's not talk about whether the Marquis will blame him or not, even the three of them will feel deeply guilty.
Ye Xiaoxiao had a drooped face and had no idea. He was very smart on the battlefield and now he had no idea at all.
"Yes!" Yu Yanbai slapped his thigh: "We can't persuade you, so we have to invite my teacher over."
"It makes sense!" Zhu Tianhe's eyes lit up: "Mrs. Hou should still listen to Song Jinglue's words. After all, she is an elder. Send someone to invite Master Song immediately!"
At this time, Song Zhilu was arranging various matters for the autumn harvest in Shuozhou.
"Okay, I'll write to you teacher right away." Yu Yanbai nodded heavily.
