  Chapter 521 Joy (one more)

  Princess Sheng'an, the Duke's wife and others listened to the old Huguogong's cronies repeat in detail what had been heard from Zhou Che. The female relatives sometimes opened their eyes wide, and sometimes covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and exclaimed again and again.

  Princess Sheng'an's face changed when she heard that Su Rong was almost killed by Nangong Yu, and her heart arose when she heard that Zhou Gu and his men broke into the barracks twice to kill the general. It wasn't until after hearing that Nanping City had successfully defended Nanping City that Su Rong wrote a letter to subdue Zhang Yun did he breathe a sigh of relief.

   Mrs. Guo's eyes were red, and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Thank God, it's good that everyone is fine."

  If something happened to Su Rong, with Zhou Gu's feelings for her, she might have nothing to do with her son's life. If something happened to Zhou Gu, let alone Su Rong, as a mother, she would not have to live in the first place.

   "Yeah, thank God, it's fine." The eldest princess Sheng'an didn't know what to say, and she was naturally excited. After all, her youngest grandson had grown up to be promising, but she felt that he was too adventurous, or too young, and didn't know how to protect herself.

  After the confidant finished speaking, he remembered something, "When the second son of Nanchu Yexiang's mansion left Beijing, Miss Su Qi rescinded his engagement with him. The fourth son did not know what method he used to ask Miss Seven to write a marriage letter for him, and carried it with him every day. I am very happy."

   "Really?" Mrs. Guo was overjoyed.

   This is really a happy event for her, she no longer has to worry about her son liking Su Rongqiu.

   "Really, I'm at the old Duke's side, and I also saw the marriage letter. The fourth son is very precious." The confidant said with certainty.

   Mrs. Guo suddenly laughed.

  Princess Sheng'an's focus was on the day Ye Guixue left the capital. Su Rong broke off the engagement with him. She froze for a moment, "Do you know the reason why she and Ye Guixue broke off the engagement?"

  The confidant nodded, "The Fourth Young Master said that Miss Su Qi was extremely soft-hearted towards him, knowing that his heart was rock-solid, and fearing that it would not end in the future, she withdrew from her marriage with Second Young Master Ye. She hadn't planned to tell Fourth Young Master so early, but Fourth Young Master saved Miss Seven's life from Nangong Yu's men at a critical moment. Miss Seven couldn't bear him to suffer any more, so she told the matter, and then Fourth Young Master asked for a marriage letter, and was very happy."

  Princess Sheng'an also laughed when she heard the words, "Let me just say, Brother Gu is the most pleasing, how can that little girl Su Rong bear her heart? Even if she is hard-hearted, she can't bear his appearance."

  She asked a lot of details, and her cronies answered everything they knew. Princess Sheng An was happy, and after rewarding her cronies, she let him go to rest quickly.

  Yan Huisheng listened to the story recounted by the old Huguogong himself, so naturally he didn’t have the details to be recounted by his cronies to Princess Sheng’an and other female relatives.

  Yan Huisheng took Su Rong's letter, opened it and read it, and couldn't help laughing, "Three hundred thousand soldiers, I agree."

  He could make this decision almost without thinking or hesitating. He believed in Su Rong, and it was true that the Liang court couldn't afford so many soldiers and horses now, so they couldn't be dismissed and returned to the fields. Not only can I use soldiers to protect Su Rong's safety, but also let her help raise soldiers, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it? Su Rong's safety is guaranteed, and it is in Daliang's best interest to succeed successfully as King of Southern Chu.

  The old Hu Guogong knew that he would agree, "His Royal Highness is wise."

  The kitchen of the Duke's Mansion moved quickly, and it didn't take much time to prepare a banquet.

  After Yan Huisheng stayed in the Duke’s mansion for dinner, he wanted the old Duke to rest today and go to the palace to report to the emperor tomorrow, but the old Duke is a fastidious person, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. His Majesty sits on the throne every day, and he has to respect his king all day, so he went to the palace with Yan Huisheng.

  The emperor naturally had already received the news of the old Huguogong’s return to Beijing. He waited patiently until evening, and finally waited for the old Huguogong to enter the palace.

  The old Huguogong talked about how to defend Nanping and subdue the Northern Hebei Army in a few words. When he saw that the emperor wanted to ask, he hid his heart and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister also heard it. I don't go into details. When the little girl Su Rong returns to Beijing, you can ask her carefully."

  The emperor only paid attention to the results, as long as the results are good, as long as the civil strife does not break out, as long as Zhang Ping and the Northern Hebei Army are dealt with, he asked, "When will Su Rong return to Beijing?"

   "She said to go to Jibei City to deal with some matters, and then go to the border to take a look. If there are no major incidents, she will return to Beijing in a few days." The old Huguo said: "It depends on how many troops Wei Wei prepares this time. If there are not enough troops, no major incidents will happen."

  The emperor nodded upon hearing the words, "Thanks for your hard work, old duke."

  The old Duke said "嗐" and said the same thing, "The old minister didn't work hard. The old minister didn't do anything this time, just walk his legs and train his soldiers." He looked at the emperor and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinglu are not good. Their bodies are weak, their legs and feet are useless, and their kung fu has not been trained well. Apart from the neat formation, they have few advantages. Fortunately, they did not fight with Zhang Ping. If they do, they will definitely suffer a big loss."

  Yan Huisheng took the opportunity to take out the soldier talisman and handed it to the emperor, "Father, this is the Jinglu soldier talisman returned by the old Duke."

  The emperor didn't reach out to take it. Once people want to open it, they want to open it. He waved his hand, "You put it away. From now on, you will be in charge of the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jinglu. The old man is right. These 100,000 soldiers and horses are in my hands. They are almost useless. You can't learn from me. Put more effort into training them."

  Yan Huisheng didn't shirk, "Father, don't worry."

  The three of them sat around Zhou Gu, Su Rong, Ning Chi, Zhang Mao, Zhang Yun and others, chatting for a while. When discussing how to deal with the rest of the Zhang family, Yan Huisheng said that he would wait until Su Rong returned to Beijing to ask her. The emperor also agreed, and discussed who should take over the northern city of Jibei. Yan Huisheng suggested that Su Xing take over the northern city of Jibei. arrangement.

  He struggled for a moment, and asked Yan Huisheng, "Let Su Rong write the IOU at that time."

  Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, what a big deal, he was really afraid that Su Rong would not return what he borrowed, and never return.

  Yan echoed and nodded, "Father, don't worry."

  Official affairs are official affairs, private affairs are private affairs, he will not confuse them, she believes in Su Rong, and she should be happy to write an IOU. After all, 300,000 soldiers and horses cannot be borrowed just by talking about them. Even if he agrees simply, the mouths of the courtiers must be blocked.
