Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 218 Guessing

After the army set out, the city of Yezhou was quiet for two days.

The cooking utensils borrowed before were given directly to the military camp by some stores, so Xie Zhiyun asked people to return all the cooking utensils that needed to be returned first, and the remaining cooking utensils took the people to continue making military rations.

This time they didn't do much, they did it for the soldiers left behind in the camp in the western suburbs, and they only did it during the day, so they didn't feel very tired.

After six or seven days of busy work like this, Xie Zhijun also got used to the days when Wei Ji was away fighting.

When the army rations were finished, Xie Zhijun finally led the people to make food for a day, and then asked them to take it back to their respective streets and alleys and distribute it to the people.

Each family may only get one or two pancakes, which is not too much, but it is also a heart.

The war had not yet spread to Yezhou, so gradually, the people returned to their old lives.

There are still more than 2 defenders left in the camp in the western suburbs, because Langhuan and Taixing are very close to Yezhou, and there are only less than 6 defenders left in the two states. There are about [-] defenders left in the more important Huzhou and other places. Apart from the main force far away at the border, there are less than [-] people left in the nearby states.

Xie Zhiyun couldn't stay idle, she counted the remaining fabrics and cotton, and after discussing with Cui Ji, distributed them to the common people, asked them to make some cotton boots, and made as much as they could, in order to be ahead of the end of the year Sent to the border.

The weather was getting colder, Xie Zhijun was sitting in the bedroom with the brazier on, doing accounts while looking up at the sky outside.

Zhao Yu had already put on her jacket, and she brought in a bowl of red date tea to warm Xie Zhiyun's stomach.

"Miss, I asked Xiao Zhong, and he said that there were no battle reports in the past two days."

Xie Zhiyun nodded and said, "Got it."

As soon as Wei Cang arrived in Tongchuan, he organized manpower to deploy defenses. After Wei Ji led a large army to arrive, he immediately set off to Fengling in person to meet the enemy outside Fengling city.

The Yu family did not send troops.

Da Qi seemed to have expected that the Wei Family Army would move, so when they arrived, Da Qi dispatched nearly [-] troops.

So several soldiers and horses became anxious in Fengling, and half a month passed in a flash.

It will be November in just a few days, and the days go by so fast.

Fighting requires patience, Xie Zhijun also calmed down and arranged the affairs of Yezhou City step by step.

The master and the servant were talking, and Mu Yun said outside: "Miss, Ronghuatang has an invitation."

Xie Zhijun was used to being invited several times a day, and without asking what was the matter, she got up directly, took the cloak and walked quickly to the outsider.

As soon as he left the bedroom, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, making his skin ache.

This year's winter is earlier than in previous years. Xie Zhiyun looked up at the sky, hoping that this year would not be so cold.

When she arrived at Ronghuatang, everyone in the family was there.

Recently, Weiying has to worry about family affairs, she has already moved to Ronghuatang to live with Cui Ji, and the second wife and Wei Ning'an moved to Juyizhai together to accompany Shen Wenru.

After Xie Zhiyun sat down, Cui Ji said, "Just now the city defenders have sent a letter saying that there have been frequent movements outside the city recently, especially at the Huaiye Gate in the east of the city, and noises are often heard in the middle of the night."

Xie Zhiyun frowned slightly: "What's going on, can you find out?"

Wei Yao has been living in the State Shepherd's Mansion for the past few days, so he said immediately after hearing the words: "Sister-in-law, it is said that it is a pigeon."

"The number of pigeons flying out from the east of the city is different every day. It's a mess. They couldn't see clearly at first, but finally they found out that they were pigeons."

He didn't wait for Xie Zhijun to ask, and said directly: "There is no secret letter on the pigeons, almost nothing, they are just ordinary pigeons, not even carrier pigeons."

Xie Zhiyun frowned.

Ji Xiuxiu thought for a while and asked, "Could it be a coincidence?"

Wei Yao sighed: "I don't know, and Fu Cheng doesn't know what's wrong."

He has been staying at the State Shepherd's Mansion for the past few days. Although Xie Zhiyun and Wei Ying would go there every other day, the burden still fell on his frail body.

The person in charge of the family is Xie Zhijun, but he is also under a lot of pressure, worrying about his father, brother, and Yu Hanzhao. He never sleeps soundly until dawn.

This was the first time he experienced such a major event, so Cui Ji didn't persuade him, let him face it and get used to it.

Xie Zhiyun kept rubbing the teacup, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head: "I don't remember any changes in Dingxi Palace recently."

Weiying said: "Yes, since the beginning of the war, people have been sent to surround the Dingxi Palace. Recently, the Dingxi Palace has even reduced its purchases, and only buys once every other day."

Xie Zhijun put down the teacup with a serious expression on his face.

She looked up at Weiying: "Auntie, why don't we go visit the princess."

"There is a war outside, I am worried that the princess will be afraid, we have to take care of the princess."

Hearing this, Wei Ying was stunned for a moment, and then winked.

Weiying looked at Cui Ji, and Cui Ji asked, "What do you mean?"

Xie Zhiyun got up straight away, and said to Feng Fang, "Order 1000 people and follow me."

After making arrangements, she looked at Cui Ji with a very serious expression: "I suspect that King Dingxi has escaped."

Two quarters later, Xie Zhijun, Wei Yao and Wei Ying led a group of people and surrounded Dingxi Palace.

When the old housekeeper heard the news, he left the palace with an ugly expression, his expression was very unhappy.

"Young madam, what do you really mean?"

Xie Zhijun was riding on the horse, looking down at him, neither sad nor happy.

Since the war, Xie Zhijun's clothes have become more and more simple.

She usually wears active riding clothes with narrow sleeves. On her head, she only wears the hairpin given to her by the guard halberd, and nothing else.

But the more she behaved like this, the more imposing she became, making people trembling when they saw her.

The old housekeeper took a look at her like this, and couldn't help taking half a step back: "Young Madam, where is the Dingxi Palace, do you want to force your way?"

Xie Zhiyun suddenly smiled.

She raised her hand, made a hands-on gesture, and then said: "Old housekeeper, isn't it up to me, Mrs. Wei, to decide where Yezhou is?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly sighed again: "Before, the family was too busy, so I hurriedly asked people to protect the prince and princess, but I never visited the mansion. These days, my aunt can't sleep day and night. I'm afraid that the princess will be timid and get sick. Okay, so I thought I'd better accompany my aunt to visit on the first or second day."

"Old butler, we are paying a formal visit to the prince and concubine, can't we?"

The old butler was already held up by the soldiers, unable to speak a word, blushing so anxiously that his neck was thick, but he couldn't break free at all.

Xie Zhijun looked up at the soldiers in Dingxi Palace with a kind smile.

"The old housekeeper invited us in," Xie Zhiyun turned to look at Wei Ying, "Auntie, please go first."

Weiying lowered her head and wiped away the tears that didn't exist, and then said: "My Wen Chun, mother has come to visit you."
