Chapter 49: Two places apart

No matter how much Cheng Hanbai didn't want to, it was time for him and his father to take leave and return to camp.

Yesterday evening, Prince Chu sent someone to deliver a horse that is walking on the snow and chasing the wind. It is brown all over, but its hooves are also white. It looks like a pair with Haitang's horse, but it is much taller than Haitang's horse.

The crown prince's note contains two characters: Yuanbao.

Han Bai laughed. This prince is really interesting. Last time Haitang named the horse "Gold Bar", he just said that next time his horse would be called "Yuanbao".The prince paid attention and sent the ingot before he left.Oh, what a good horse!
Han Bai was not a stingy person, so he immediately gave the prince a "Wanderer's Bow" that he had collected in return. This bow was so powerful that the arrows fired from the string were as eager as a wanderer returning home, hence the name.It is said that Xiao Li Guanghua Rong, who was in the Liangshan Mountains, used this bow when he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats.

The prince was a little frustrated after receiving the bow. He just wanted to use the ingot to remind Han Bai that the "gold bar" was still waiting for Haitang at the racecourse, and he happened to teach Haitang how to ride a horse on his behalf when his brother Cheng Hanbai was away.If you don't do serious business, why give me a bow?
Chuyi: Your Majesty, are you sure that General Cheng’s brain circuit is so strange?
Fifteen: You are so reserved, so give up early.

Early the next morning, the guards who lived in the other courtyard lined up outside Cheng Mansion early, waiting for the general and major general, preparing to leave for Xuanfu Town.

Aunt Pan accompanied the old lady in tears in the back hall, and Begonia and Xiang Jin were sent outside the gate.The father had already lectured his two daughters last night, and he didn't care to say anything else today.Han Bai, on the other hand, took his sister's hand and said with serious words:
"You try to avoid your aunt and Xiang Jin at home. As long as they don't cause trouble for you, don't interfere with family affairs. If you have anything to say, talk to your grandmother. Stay away from those brats with bad intentions outside. Don't be afraid. If you offend them, you, a girl, need to grow up. Don’t be deceived by them. You are only 15 years old. When you turn [-], your father and brother will promise you a good family."

Haitang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just when she was about to retort, she suddenly heard someone coming from outside to report. General Feng Mingze came to report!

It turned out that before the Qiqiao Festival, General Cheng received a report from the border, saying that Tatar troops attacked various towns from time to time and destroyed the artillery array of General Zhang of Taiyuan. Although the Tatars suffered heavy casualties, their courage increased greatly and they became more courageous. They gathered their forces and invaded frequently, causing trouble to all the border towns.

When Cheng Hanbai was discussing countermeasures with his father, when it came to firearms, he strongly recommended Feng Mingze, who worked as a counselor in Prince Duan's palace. Feng Mingze was proficient in weapons, firearms, and mechanism skills, and he also had a good grasp of battle tactics.

Cheng Yu is naturally thirsty for talents.He made a prompt decision and invited Feng Mingze to Xuanfu Town to help out as a general.Cheng Hanbai immediately rushed to Prince Duan's Mansion.

Feng Mingze was imprisoned by Xie Ruiqiao for a long time in his previous life to create magic weapons for him. King Duan did not know whether he was dead or alive until the end.Although he now works as a counselor in Prince Duan's Mansion, he has no official position.King Duan is also very willing for him to serve in Cheng Yu's army so that he can further develop in the future, and Feng Tingxiao's entrustment to him is not in vain.

"Mingze, your weapons and formations can be used boldly to fight against the enemy. Your father was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. You should use the skills he taught you to defeat the enemy and serve your father. Clear your name!”

Feng Mingze was immediately filled with pride: "Mingze will definitely live up to the trust of His Royal Highness Prince Duan and Major General Cheng. He is willing to dedicate himself to guarding the country, and he will die in horse leather!" Cheng Hanbai happily left, and King Duan let him go. Feng Mingze copied a copy of the "Nine Towns Military Strategy Essentials" that they compiled and asked him to submit it to General Cheng as an induction ceremony.

This time Feng Mingze followed King Duan to visit the nine towns. He basically got a feel for the military situation in the nine towns, especially the use of firearms in the military, the gains and losses, and summed up many experiences and lessons.This is information that the leader of Fangguan Town does not understand, but is quite practical.

Tang Yu also came over after hearing the news. The two people cherished each other and were already friends who talked about everything.Tang Yu sent a box of Tang Sect's poison gas mines to Mingze, and Mingze also gave Tang Yu the weapon construction drawings he had just finished drawing to try out.

When Feng Mingze waited, General Cheng gave an order, and a group of people left the Cheng Mansion and headed outside the city.

Among those who saw her off, apart from Haitang and Xiang Jin, the one who was hardest to leave was Ruyi.She sewed a belt with her own hands and gave it to the Major General. Unexpectedly, the Major General did not tie her belt around him today.

From the inner courtyard to outside the gate, she always wanted to get close to the major general, hoping to say a few words of appreciation.But the young general was either standing next to the old general, or pulling the eldest girl and talking non-stop.

It wasn't until she ran after the Major General's horse for a few steps and called "Major General" twice that Cheng Hanbai thought something was wrong and turned around when he heard the sound, and then he formally looked at her.Ruyi's heart finally felt a little satisfied.Perhaps, at this glance, the Major General will remember her from now on!As expected.

Seeing Ruyi's obvious admiration for men, Xiang Jin couldn't help laughing out of her nose: This woman who was picked up by her eldest brother actually dreamed of becoming the wife of the major general in the Cheng family. How ridiculous!

Haitang, who also saw this scene, frowned. She always felt that this Ruyi was a little restless, and she felt a little alienated from her.

Anyway, my father and brother are gone, and so is brother Mingze.Haitang sighed, returned to the room and lay down in silence, not wanting to say a word.

Separated from each other, each has his own concerns!
