Chapter 261 Expedition 1

"Is there any echo from Ding Jinjing?" Yao Xiang looked at Ye Shusheng and asked. Ye Shusheng looked at the fourth prince and nodded, "Don't worry. The words are very full, which makes people a little worried."

"People who are too enthusiastic about careers are always over-enthusiastic." Yao Xiang said indifferently. Ye Shusheng smiled when he heard the words and relaxed a lot.

"Maybe we think too much," Yao Xiang looked at the fourth prince and said, "It's easy for the Jiang family to show goodwill to us. If you want to show goodwill to King Shou, it's really a good way for Jiang Hong to serve in the army." Ye Shusheng frowned unhappily and didn't wait for him to speak. The fourth prince waved his hand and said, "Yao Xiang's words are reasonable. People's hearts are beneficial. Don't be harsh. I wish the old marquis will not serve in the army, let alone others." Ye Shusheng said 'hum' with a little anger. Yao Xiang glanced at him and smiled and said nothing more.

In Jiang's study, Jiang Xiang sat on the couch with an easy expression. While watching Jiang Hong order tea, he gently said, "... You went north with the army. Everything is unpredictable. It was the time when you needed the help of the family. Have you recorded everything you just been told?"

"I wrote it down, uncle, don't worry." Jiang Hong ordered a bowl of tea and held it to Jiang Xiang with both hands. Jiang Xiang took a few sips of the tea slowly, and then told him, "You are thoughtful and steady, but sometimes you lose your stubborn impulse. This trip with the army, and remember not to be impulsive, do not seek merit, just ask for no mistakes, just come back safely."

"I wrote it down." Jiang Hong respectfully agreed, but Jiang Xiang did not completely let go of his eyebrows. He slowly finished his tea and sighed, "You only remember that the Jiang family behind you also represents the Jiang family. There are many people in the north. Even if you don't care about yourself, you can't damage the Jiang family, and remember not to be impulsive." Jiang Hong solemnly agreed again. Jiang Xiang seemed to be a little relieved and said for a long time before letting Jiang Hong go back.

Jiang Hong left Jiang Xiang's mansion, took a few detours, and went to Xu Sihai's mansion.

Xu Sihai welcomed him into his yard. Jiang Hong motioned him to retreat from the crowd, stood up and pushed open the doors and windows, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Is it convenient for you to talk here?"

"You can't fall a word, just say it." Xu Sihai simply replied. Jiang Hong looked at Xu Sihai and said bluntly, "The logistics is heavy with grain first. If you want to transport grain to the north, Jiang Hong clicked the table with a folding fan and said, "The grain depot in Ningqianfu is the most convenient. I have checked the grain and grass storage situation of Ningqianfu grain depot, which is enough for military support. Ningqianfu grain depot is just in Leng. Within the jurisdiction of Yongjing County.

"That's what I think!" Xu Sihai's eyebrows flew and said a few times, "Although the grain depot is not under the jurisdiction of Brother Leng, in the end, in Yongjing County, Brother Leng, the county official, is also in charge, which is much more convenient."

"The governor of Kening Qianfu is Ding Jinjing," Jiang Hong said coldly, "This man must be guarded." Xu Sihai suddenly frowned, tapped his two fingers alternately, and took a deep breath and said, "This man is nothing, but behind him..." Xu Sihai looked at Jiang Hong meaningfully. Jiang Hong nodded to show his understanding: "I mean, Brother Leng has to send a good person there. First, he has to be face to face. Ed, the second is to help him.

Who will be sent? What's your idea?"

"Well, my father has a staff member, surnamed Pan, who is proficient in money and grain, and is the most alert person. I want to invite him to go there and choose a few more superb guards to accompany him." Jiang Hong said frankly, and Xu Sihai nodded and asked directly, "What do you want me to do?" Just say it."

"If there is anything on Brother Leng's side, it is not appropriate to submit it to my father and uncle, so I can only leave it to you." Jiang Hong's words sounded relaxed, and Xu Sihai understood what he meant as soon as he heard it. On this trip, Jiang Hong accompanied the army, and Leng Mingsong took on the heavy responsibility of ensuring the smooth transportation of grain and fodder in Ningqianfu. He wanted to ensure smooth communication with all the people in the capital. If anything happens, he still needs to make good things in the capital in advance. Xu Sihai took a breath and Zheng said, "Brother Yanhui, don't worry, I'm safe, and you must be safe."

Jiang Hong patted Xu Sihai with a smile, stood up and smiled and said, "I have to go back quickly. I will ask Mr. Pan to come to see you early tomorrow morning and how to contact you to make an agreement with him."

"Good." Xu Sihai agreed to get up and send Jiang Hong out. Jiang Hong walked to the gate of the courtyard, as if he remembered something. He looked at Xu Sihai and opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Xu Sihai looked at him with a little strangeness. Jiang Hong waved his hand and said, "There is one more thing. It's not appropriate for you. I'll think of another way." Xu Sihai raised his eyebrows, shook his head with a smile and didn't ask much. Jiang Hong was so careful that he had learned too much. Since he had an idea, he didn't have to worry too much about it.

The next afternoon, Lin Ke and Jiang Shan went to the royal palace of Jin'an County, and Li Tian welcomed them into the main courtyard flower hall.

Lin Ke chatted happily about all kinds of gossips heard from various prefectures, especially Ye Shi Niang. Jiang Shan was absent-minded and kept looking at Li Tian. Li Tian felt that Jiang Shan was restless and quietly sent Lin Ke out of the flower hall. Sure enough, Jiang Shan looked at Lin Ke and went out. , hurriedly moved to Li Tian's side and whispered nervously, "I have something to tell you." Li Tian quickly waved her hand to retreat from the crowd. Jiang Shan moved closer and bit her ear and whispered, "Brother Jiu asked me to send you a word to say that he was going to go on an expedition with the army, and A Ke's marriage was entrusted to you. I don't know what Brother Jiu's words mean. What does it have to do with A Ke's marriage? How can I entrust this to you? But Brother Jiu asked me to just spread the message and say that you can understand it as soon as you hear it.

Li Tian naturally heard clearly that Jiang Hong entrusted Lin Ke and Leng Mingsong's marriage. At least before he came back from his expedition, Lin Ke could not decide on a marriage. Li Tian nodded and smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? Your brother loves Ake as much as he loves you. He has never liked your aunt and can't trust her. Isn't that what you said? He was afraid that your aunt would decide on his unsatisfactory marriage for Ake during his expedition, so he had to entrust this matter to me.

"So that's it! You and Brother Jiu really... I mean, you are really smarter than me." Jiang Shan suddenly realized that she almost blurted out and said something wrong. She hurriedly turned around and shrank her shoulders embarrassedly. Li Tian just pretended that she didn't hear it and smiled and said, "Your brother entrusted Ake and also entrusted you. He is not at home, if the family tells you If you don't like the marriage, you can come and discuss it with me. Jiang Shan blushed, but tried to nod generously, "Then I thank you first. I hope I won't bother you."

In a few words, Lin Ke jumped into the flower hall with the cut flowers. Li Tian looked at her and her heart moved slightly. She looked at Jiang Shan and said with a smile, "I remember you used to go in and out with Aunt Leng's wife a while ago. Why didn't you bring her today?" Jiang Shan was slightly stunned. She didn't know why Li Tian suddenly mentioned the old lady of the Leng family. She hurriedly explained with a smile, "It was Brother Jiu who asked me to take care of her more. I didn't tell you before. It's hard to bring her here rashly."

"How is the old lady of the Leng family? Can you still get along with her?" Li Tian looked at Jiang Shan and asked. Before Jiang Shan's answer, she turned her head and looked at Lin Ke and asked, "Are you familiar with Mrs. Leng? How is she?"

"It's quite familiar," Lin Ke replied in front of Jiang Shan, "I like her very much. She is gentle and untwisting, and she is not the kind of person who always pretends to be shy regardless of whether it's true or not. Next time I bring her here, you must also like her!"

"What?" Li Tian looked surprised: "Don't you hate the cold brothers and sisters the most? Why did you praise the old lady of the Leng family as a flower? Lin Ke blushed and Jiang Shan laughed: "Leng's wife is gentle and gives her everywhere, but she doesn't think she is messing around. Of course she likes it. As you know, there are not many little ladies in the capital who can tolerate Ake's nonsense." Jiang Shan made a joke with Lin Ke. Lin Ke rolled her eyes up and said with a disdainful 'hum' from her nostrils: "There are few little women in the capital that I can like!"

"It seems that the Leng family's aunt has a good tutoring. If she can have such a tutor, the Leng family's master and wife are not bad. That Leng Tanhua... Well, the Leng family's aunt said how her brother is?"

"Why didn't you say it," Jiang Shan snatched the words and replied, "Listen to the meaning of the Leng family's aunt, their brothers and sisters have a very good relationship. The Leng's aunt respects her brother. Just like my ninth brother, the Leng family's aunt had to defend it as soon as she heard Ake's saying that Leng Tanhua was not good. Ake could be defended by her. A lot of times." Jiang Shan said and smiled. Lin Ke peeked at Li Tian, and a layer of light red spread from her neck. She turned her head and simply ignored Jiang Shan. The corners of Li Tian's eyes did not leave Lin Ke, looked at the change of her expression, and her smile couldn't help but seeping out from the corners of her mouth.

Qin Tianjian chose an auspicious day, and the flag of the Northern Expedition came out of the forbidden with bright and lively honor and went all the way to the north gate. Li Tian and Yu Yaofang stood on the second floor of Li Qi's main store and looked at the endless honor guard downstairs through the silk curtain.

"Why are you so flamboyant?" Yu Yaofang whispered with strong puzzlement and worry, "If the war is unfavorable, how can I tell it?" Li Tian sighed sullenly: "Of course, Shouwang doesn't want to be so flamboyant, but this can't help him. Such a grand expedition can only be won."

"Tingtian, do you think Shouwang can win this trip?" Yu Yaofang heard the meaning of Li Tian's words and became more worried. Li Tian was silent for a long time before whispering, "I don't know that this Northern Expedition King Shou is the commander and the Marquis of Chang'an is the deputy commander, but the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Force is the Northern Third Road Army, which has been led by Marquis Chang'an for more than ten years. Although the Marquis Zhu accompanied him, alas, the old marquis is Old marquis, you are so handsome." Li Tian bit the word 'old' heavily and wished the old marquis that he was not only old, but his age had passed, and he could only rely on the after Wei and Yu Ze of the past. Compared with the real power and the prosperous Marquis of Chang'an, he was a past.
