"Mr. Ren, remember to bring Yingpan to the uncle's house to play when you have time."
As night fell, knowing that Ren Ning was in a hurry to go home, Liu Wan did not greet him to come in.
"Got it." Ren Ning waved his hand in agreement.
The three of them got on their horses and continued walking deeper into the alley.
It didn't take long before I saw several people waiting in front holding lanterns. The orange light warmed the long alley.
"Ms. sir! There's also Zhuifeng!" Yingpan recognized Ren Ning at a glance and waved with a bright smile from a distance.
Bah!
Zhui Feng's pace became faster again.
Ren Ning turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for here! It's not like I don't know the way. Besides, it's still cold."
"It's almost May, it's not cold anymore." Yingpan stuck out her tongue happily.
Lei Erying expected to recognize him, so Ren Ning introduced her to Li Hebai, "You know Li Hezhu, this is her brother. One of the leading generals in Zhennanguan, he is extremely powerful in battle."
Li Hebai just found out that Ren Ning was married, so he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Hello, sister-in-law."
"It turns out he is Sister Hezhu's younger brother. Welcome."
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, can we go inside and have dinner before we talk?" Lei Er next to him interjected with a grimace: "We are all starving to death."
"You just know how to eat!" Yingpan said to him, and happily led a few people back home.
Entering the dining room, a few people chatted and ate, having a wonderful meal.
"Is there a new cook at home?" Ren Ning asked.
The previous cook was rewarded by Emperor Changxing. Because he had the title of Royal Chef, his eyes were always on the top of his head, but the food he cooked was difficult to describe.
"Replaced!" Yingpan smiled and nodded: "I will replace all the servants who are disobedient."
In fact, almost all the people rewarded by Emperor Changxing were completely replaced.
Seeing the bright and comfortable smile on Ying Pan's face, Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Lei Er and Li Hebai had enough to eat and drink, and left wisely.
"When did Lao Ren get married?" Li Hebai couldn't help but ask as soon as he left the dining room.
"It was just last year." Lei Er didn't think much and was happily munching on a fruit after dinner. "He just got married, and we went south to Guangxin County together."
"Then did my sister, Bei Shendu, know that Lao Ren was married?" Li Hebai asked impatiently.
"Of course I know." Lei Er finally came to his senses and nodded with a smile.
Li Hebai let out a long sigh, turned around and went to the guest house arranged for him by Jixiang.
Early the next morning, when Ren Ning got up and arrived at the martial arts training ground, Lei Er had already walked in.
Behind him were three horses. It was Zhui Feng, Ben Lei and Ying Pan's little red horse.
The competition ground was very large, and the three horses whizzed around the two men several times. Seeing that their owners had no intention of riding them, they wandered around and started playing on their own.
"Old Ren, when was this martial arts training ground built?"
Ren Ning rolled his eyes and did not answer such wasteful words.
When they left last year, most of the entire house was still deserted. Of course, the competition ground was later built by Yingpan.
"Sister-in-law is so thoughtful."
Lei Er sighed, walked to Ren Ning's side, followed Tiangang Bagua, swung the heavy machete, and started practicing martial arts.
After practicing for a long time, Li Hebai arrived late.
Seeing the two people sweating profusely on the court, he also sweated profusely.
After practicing martial arts, having breakfast and changing clothes, Ren Ning picked up some gifts and walked to Zhenguo Mansion.
Lei Er and Li Hebai followed him enthusiastically, but when they heard that Ren Ning was going to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they all wanted to meet the world-famous Princess Yiguang, in the end they all turned around and entered the Zhongyongbo Mansion next door.
Generally speaking, before visiting a wealthy family, you should pay your respects a few days in advance.
But just like the first time, Ren Ning told the disciples his identity and was quickly welcomed into the house.
Huo Qing had just finished practicing martial arts and had taken a shower. When he heard the news of Ren Ning's visit, he quickly invited him into the main hall.
"Your Majesty." Ren Ning smiled and stepped forward to salute, "Long time no see. How are you?"
The two are similar in age. When Ren Ning got married, Huo Qing had always been there to help, and they had a good personal relationship with each other.
"You're just here, what gifts do you bring?" He laughed, "I'm just going to stay in Star City every day, what's wrong with you?"
"Ren Ning, you were in the limelight yesterday. I guess no one in the entire Star City knows your name now."
Ren Ning didn't care at all.
Yesterday, the procession passed by in a hurry, but just because the people knew his name didn't mean they could recognize him.
Huo Qing clicked his tongue and changed the topic.
"I have carefully studied the battle report you sent back, and I have to admire General Wei's foresight. However, some details are not very clear."
He then asked some questions that concerned him.
Ren Ning picked the ones he could answer and answered the ones he couldn't. He just couldn't explain clearly.
Huo Qing nodded, not surprised.
After all, Ren Ning is just a middle-level general, only responsible for charging on small battlefields. There are still many things he doesn't know.
Despite this, Huo Qing's smile was full of envy.
"It would be nice to be able to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. It's not like I'm like a canary..."
As the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, he does not have to fight to the death on the battlefield and can eventually inherit the position of Duke of the country.
But on the other hand, Huo Qing is actually the hostage of the Huo family in the imperial capital.
Unless he succeeds Zhennan Gong and needs to go to Yankuo Fortress to defend the fortress. Otherwise, if he wants to leave Xingji City, it depends on Emperor Changxing's mood.
After gathering his composure, Huo Qing patted Ren Ning on the shoulder with great emotion.
"You are still awesome. This time when the military achievements are calculated, a titled general will not be able to escape."
Ren Ning was not modest either: "I hope so."
He laughed and joked to himself: "When I left the imperial capital and went south last year, I once boasted in front of Yingpan without knowing how high or high it was. I said that the next time I went home, the Ren residence on the lintel could be replaced by the General's Mansion."
"Now that I have returned to Star City, I must make my dream come true. Otherwise, I will be too embarrassed to go home to see her..."
The two laughed.
Gotta get.
The sound of a cane tapping the ground was heard.
Princess Yiguang strode in with a smile on her face and the female officer.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Grandma."
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Both Ren Ning and Ren Ning greeted each other one after another.
"No need to be polite, sit down and chat!"
After ordering the two of them to sit down, Princess Yiguang asked a few questions about Ren Ning's body and said straight to the point: "Boy Ning, how accurate are the casualty data in the battle report?"
Ren Ning was stunned.
After the battle at Huchou Valley, both Wei Junqian and Guan Luping were very optimistic about his future, so after the battle report and memorial were written, they were passed over by Ren Ning.
"Back to Your Highness, I wonder which battle reports you are looking at?"
The Battle of Nanfeng has been going on for almost a month, and there are a lot of good news and battle reports sent back to the imperial capital.
Princess Yiguang banged the phoenix-headed staff in Zhu's hand: "Of course it's the battle report of the subsequent attack on Song Ding's city."
More than forty years ago, when she and General Huo Zheng were about to attack the city, they were ordered by the then emperor to move back to the imperial court, which became a great regret in Princess Yiguang's heart.
"Go back to Your Highness," Ren Ning said sincerely: "There is very little moisture, almost none."
All the generals discussed and wrote the battle report together. He was also present at the time, so he knew everything about it. The number of casualties was almost accurate to single digits.
Princess Yiguang felt disappointed, "There are so few casualties. I just haven't entered the military camp for a few years. Are the current siege equipment so powerful?"
"Your Highness is worrying too much." Ren Ning reacted and quickly smiled and waved his hand.
"Our siege equipment in Yunchui is more powerful than that of Nanfeng. But the soldiers and people of Nanfeng are not interested in defending the city. This is also the reason. As soon as the northern city head was broken, the defenders of the west city abandoned the city and fled. And they assisted the people who defended the city.
There were even fewer of them. This allowed us to capture the city wall with overwhelming force."
"Of course, our raincoats and rubber shoes also played a big role when climbing the city wall."
These two things have been written in great detail in the battle report, so he won't repeat them again.
After a long while, Princess Yiguang finally said: "I don't know how you have such a long head. You can actually make something as light and completely waterproof as a raincoat."
In fact, raincoats are not very popular in the imperial capital, but rubber tires are selling like crazy, and demand has always been in short supply.
All of them made a fortune from it.
"Remember to come up with any good ideas in the future."
Ren Ning took out a bunch of blueprints and said, "It just so happens that I have some new things in my hand and I want to ask your highness to help find someone to build them."
