In Run Niang's view, Jin Feng came to Yuguan City to fight the Eastern Barbarians, but the Eastern Barbarians were repelled, so why is Jin Feng still here?
"Although the Eastern Barbarians have withdrawn, no one can guarantee whether they will come back."
Jin Feng explained: "Yuguan City is of great importance. I have to wait for Wuyang's reply and hear what arrangements she plans to make before making any plans."
"Oh," Runniang nodded and asked no more questions.
…
On the Jialing River, two speedboats flew past in the cold wind.
They were the speedboats sent by Jin Feng back from Yuguan City to deliver battle reports.
In order to send the news back as soon as possible, except for replenishing supplies at the Donghai dock midway, the two speedboats changed crews and kept sailing throughout the whole journey.
After running day and night for several days, I finally saw Jinchuan Pier.
Now that airships cannot be used, speedboats have become the fastest means of transportation for the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. When the escorts on duty at the pier noticed that a speedboat was approaching, they quickly cleared an area and waved flags to signal the speedboat's approach.
After seeing the number on the speedboat clearly, the escort on duty jumped up.
"It's the speedboat on Zhenyuan No. 2! Quick, go and inform the company commander that there is news from Yuguan City!"
The female workers who reinforced Yuguan City set out from the dock. Everyone knew that Jin Feng personally led his army to fight against the Eastern Barbarians.
In fact, most people in Sichuan and Shu don't even know where the Dongman are, but it doesn't stop them from caring about this matter.
Every day, countless workers asked the escorts whether Jin Feng had won the battle during their breaks during loading and unloading.
A few days ago, the Ninth Princess also sent someone to pass the order. Once there is news about Yuguan City, report it immediately.
Before the speedboat reporting the news had even docked, the escort company commander on duty had already run over. While directing the speedboat to dock, he asked loudly: "Brother, how is Yuguan City?"
The pier that was noisy just now suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the messenger in silence, waiting for his answer.
"Sir, if you take action personally, you will definitely be victorious!"
The bodyguard who delivered the message stood on the deck and roared with great enthusiasm: "Sir, he led the Jin family's women's army and the Xichuan Weisheng army to defeat the Jin-Barbarian coalition and the Eastern barbarians one after another, and captured Yeluxiong, the Shanyu of the Eastern Barbarians alive!"
"Won!"
"Very good!"
The dock suddenly became boiling.
"Hahaha, sir, you are so awesome!"
The company commander on duty shouted to the messenger escort: "Your Majesty has an order. Once there is news about Yuguan City, report it immediately!"
"Yes!" The messenger's face immediately became solemn: "Have you prepared your fast horse?"
"Don't worry, it's been prepared a long time ago. You can leave as soon as you come up!"
The company commander pointed to the side and saw a cavalry team ready to go outside the dock.
The two leaders also carried red flags, and their functions were similar to those of the red-feathered envoys before Dakang.
Regardless of whether they are ordinary people or officials, or even other escort teams, as long as they see the red flag, they must give way as soon as possible.
The messenger escort jumped onto the pier before the speedboat stopped.
He saluted the company commander and jumped on the horse with the battle report on his back.
The people loading the goods had already moved out of the way, and the cavalry roared out of the dock.
In the evening, Guan Xiaorou came to the study room in the front yard with a big belly.
He took the memorial from the Ninth Princess, who was also pregnant, and said angrily: "Wuyang, I don't even look at your body now, you are still working like this all day long!"
"Sister, I will rest after reading this memorial."
The Ninth Princess reached out to grab the memorial, but Guan Xiaorou dodged it.
"It's almost dark, what else are you looking at?"
Guan Xiaorou motioned to Zhu'er to help Princess Jiu: "Come on, come back with me for dinner!"
"Alian's cooking is too unpalatable, I won't go!" Ninth Princess shook her head repeatedly: "I'll go back to my mother and concubine to eat next time!"
Just as Runniang said, after she left, the task of cooking fell on Guan Xiaorou's personal guard captain Alian.
But Ah Lian is really not good at cooking, and her cooking is far inferior to Run Niang's.
Guan Xiaorou has suffered, but she doesn't think it's anything, but the Ninth Princess has been living in fine clothes since she was a child, how can she afford it?
The restaurant in the courtyard was the Ninth Princess's favorite place in the past, but recently it has almost become a nightmare in the Ninth Princess's heart. After eating there twice, she never wanted to go there again.
When Alian, who was standing at the door, heard what Princess Ninth said, her already dark face turned even darker.
But she also knew that Ninth Princess was right, she was indeed not very good at cooking.
In the room, Guan Xiaorou gave Princess Ninth an annoyed look: "Don't worry, I'm the one cooking today and made you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs!"
"Sister, you were talking about me just now. How can you still cook with such a big belly?"
The Ninth Princess held her waist and complained about Guan Xiaorou.
"What's wrong with cooking? The sisters in the village are pregnant with their children, and they're still going to the fields when they're about to give birth."
Guan Xiaorou said: "And the head of the family said that if you move your body more before giving birth, it will be easier when you give birth. You can't just sit here like this every day."
"Sister, I beg you to stop talking, you are really more verbose than my mother-in-law!"
The Ninth Princess covered her ears, as if she didn't want to listen to the bastard chanting sutras.
Only in front of Jin Feng and Guan Xiaorou will she take off the empress' armor and become the little girl next door.
Guan Xiaorou felt angry and funny when she saw the Ninth Princess like this. She was just thinking of making a few jokes when the faint sound of horse hoofbeats came from outside.
Judging from the sound, there were a lot of running horses and they were running very fast.
"what happened?"
Pearl looked up and looked towards the southeast corner of the yard.
There is a high platform there, and the bodyguards standing on it can overlook the entire village.
"Your Majesty, it's the Red Ling Emergency Envoy who has returned!"
The guard on duty put down his telescope and shouted excitedly: "It's the red feather messenger on the dock!"
"Wuyang, is there any news from the head of the family?"
Guan Xiaorou grabbed Ninth Princess's hand and asked excitedly.
"Probably," Ninth Princess nodded slightly, but her face was not excited, but full of worry.
Guan Xiaorou didn't know how far away Yuguan City was, but the Ninth Princess knew it very well.
Moreover, she also knew that Yuguan City was currently under attack from the north and south by the combined forces of the Eastern Barbarians and Jin Barbarians.
No, to be precise, it was a flanking attack from the north, south, and east, because the sea surface was also occupied by the raft groups of the Eastern Barbarians.
If Zhenyuan 2 wants to land in Yuguan City, it must first deal with the raft group on the sea.
According to Ninth Princess's calculation, Jin Feng should have arrived at Yuguan City not long ago. Even if everything went smoothly, it would be impossible for him to defeat the Jin-Barbarian coalition and the Eastern Barbarians so quickly, right?
So she was worried that what she was waiting for was not good news, but bad news of defeat.
"Perhaps my husband just sent someone back to send me a message saying that he has arrived!"
The Ninth Princess silently comforted herself in her heart.
She never dared to think that Jin Feng could win so quickly.
On the contrary, Guan Xiaorou was full of blind admiration for Jin Feng and stared at the gate excitedly.
Amid Guan Xiaorou's expectation and Ninth Princess' worry, the sound of horse hooves stopped at the door of the courtyard.
The escort who reported the news rushed into the yard carrying the package.
