187 Brother will never break the promise(1/2)
"...When will the appointment be made?" Ming Jin sneered, with a ray of anger in his eyes: "This bitch chose to write a letter at this time to ask questions. He is clearly threatening me."
As he spoke, he threw the letter and envelope to the ground.
When the boy saw this, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
Ming Jin sneered again: "Why are you all so afraid of me now?"
Thinking of Kuoshuang's appearance when he was carried away just now, the young man said with a trembling voice: "The villain has always been loyal to the prince..."
Ming Jin looked at him funny: "Did I say what I was going to do to you?"
What he hates most now is those women. This personal servant has been serving him for many years. He has used it quite well and has no plans to replace it yet.
He smiled and said: "Pick up the letter."
"Yes..." The boy hurriedly picked up the letter envelope and held it in his hand.
"Send it to my mother." Ming Jin said, half-lying down on the couch, and said with a mocking smile: "My mother always likes to take care of my things, so I will continue to let her take care of it."
He closed his eyes seemingly leisurely and sighed: "By the way, my mother has been working hard lately. As for the matter in the letter, she can do whatever she wants to do with it. As a son, I will obey. I just bother her to do it for me."
It’s too much trouble.”
I wonder if this is what his mother, who always wants to control everything, wants to see?
Hearing the inexplicable pleasure of revenge in his tone, the young man shuddered: "Yes, I obey..."
He quickly took the letter, stood up and left.
"Wait..." Ming Jin suddenly said.
The boy stopped for a moment and asked cautiously: "I wonder if Sir, you have any other instructions?"
"What day is today?"
"Today..." The boy failed to understand Mingjin's meaning for a moment. Today is not a holiday.
Just when the boy was nervous because he couldn't answer, Ming Jin gave an "understanding" hint: "Just now I seemed to hear something moving on the street outside..."
Yingguo Gong's Mansion occupies most of the square. The mansion is built back from the street. It is in an excellent location. You can see the Dengtai Tower in the distance.
"Just now..." The boy suddenly realized and hurriedly replied: "The movements just now should be the people in the city sending Xuance's army out of the city."
"Xuan Cejun, no wonder." Ming Jin smiled and said, "Very good. Once Cui Jing leaves according to the order, there will be one less person who can save the good-for-nothing Chang family."
The boy didn't dare to answer the conversation.
"When I was at Dayun Temple, I heard that that loser actually got admitted to the vanguard camp of the Xuance Army..." Ming Jin said "tsk": "You are so good at speaking, it's not like you have taken advantage of his father."
Who doesn't know that although Chang Kuo no longer serves in Xuance Army, his old relationship with Xuance Army is still there.
After all, he was the man who had led the Xuance Army, and he was so close to Cui Jing. It was not just a matter of words to send his son to the vanguard camp.
At first, when he heard about this in Dayun Temple, he was very angry. After the horse competition in Furong Garden, why was he so injured, while Chang Sui'an could go smoothly, be praised by others, and even have a promising future?
But now, the suffocating feeling in his heart has finally dissipated.
Ming Jin laughed again: "What a pity. Today, the people who were supposed to leave Beijing with Xuance's army and were escorted along the streets by the people can only stay in the cold cells of Dali Temple."
"I just wonder if I can hear the excitement of Xuance's army leaving the capital outside in the cell in Dali Temple?" Ming Jin seemed to think seriously: "I guess not, how could Xuance's army pass by Dali Temple?"
"
The number of Xuance's troops leaving the city at this moment was only a thousand men. The remaining main forces marched out from Xuance's camp and were all waiting to rendezvous outside the city.
The thousands of people leaving the city left from the Xuance Mansion in the city. There was a group of ten people behind them. After temporarily separating from the group, they went around to Xingningfang and dismounted in front of the Hussars General's Mansion.
They all wore armor and carried swords, and their aura was overwhelming. When they walked, they made the sound of armor and swords striking each other.
The disciples of the Chang Mansion were used to seeing this kind of formation, so they were not panicky and fearful, and just invited people into the mansion politely.
Chang Sui Ning heard the news and walked out quickly to greet him in the front yard.
The middle-aged man at the head gave her his hand and said, "I've seen a girl in my hometown."
Chang Suining nodded and returned the greeting to him.
She had some impression of this name. He must have been a striker under Lao Chang. This was probably the reason why the other party called her girl.
"Here's the holy mandate. Don't delay your journey to the north. We will leave Beijing today and rush to the north. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you."
It was not appropriate to say more at this time. Yue Zong only asked one of his subordinates to come forward and hold the things he brought in front of Chang Sui Ning.
"This is the military uniform and belt that the young man should receive." Yue Zong said: "It is a long way to the north. If the young man is able to get out of trouble later, he can quickly catch up with the army with this belt.
"
Chang Suining stretched out his hands to take the new, neat and heavy armor and waist badge, and held it in his arms: "Thank you, General Yue, for coming here in person."
Now that her brother was involved in the case, everyone was avoiding Chang Mansion, but Xuance Jun came to deliver clothes before leaving and made such a promise.
There is no mention of trust in every sentence, but they are all about trust and never giving up.
"Generals, please go ahead." The girl holding the armor promised in return: "My brother will be here shortly and will never break the promise."
When their eyes met, Yue Zong seemed to see something familiar in the girl's eyes.
Although he couldn't tell what it was, he unconsciously had an indescribable trust in the girl's words, "Then I'll wait for the young man to return."
Chang Suining nodded: "The march is urgent, so I will not leave you generals behind. I hope all the generals will have a smooth trip, build peace in the north, be a deterrent to Beidi, and return to the capital as soon as possible."
"I'd like to lend you my good wishes." Yue Zong raised his hand sternly: "Young lady, please take care of yourself. I'll take my leave later."
Chang Suining nodded and watched them leave.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves disappeared outside Xingningfang.
Chang Suining looked at Xuance's military armor in his arms. After a moment, he handed it to Xi'er and said, "I'll keep it in a safe place until brother returns home."
Xi'er's eyes felt a little warm for no reason, she nodded her head and responded seriously, taking the things with great solemnity and love.

"Have you all left Beijing?"
Mrs. Chang, the wife of Duke Yingguo, was in the inner room, asking the servant girl in front of her in a low voice.
The servant girl nodded: "The army has already set off..."
Mrs. Chang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and a somewhat sarcastic smile appeared on her face: "You can say that you won't marry anyone who is not Qing. Now that something happened to the Chang family, it didn't delay Cui Jing's march. No man in the world would do that."
Too many differences…”
Nowadays, no one in the capital, including the Cui family, knows that Cui Jing has secretly left the capital, and everyone thinks that today is the day when Cui Jing will lead his army to the north.
"That's right, the military situation is important, and the sacred orders cannot be violated." Chang's eyes moved slightly as he spoke: "But...he made a special trip to the Chang family just to give him some armor?"
She had been keeping people secretly paying attention to the activities in Xingningfang. When Yue Zong and others went to Changfu, Chang subconsciously regarded it as Cui Jing's order.
"I only saw that they came with armor and clothes. When they came out of Chang's Mansion, their things were missing. They obviously came to see them off..." The servant woman said uncertainly: "As for what they said in Chang's Mansion, that's all.
There’s no way to know.”
The Chang Mansion is different from other places. In that mansion, even though there are old servants in their sixties who take off their shirts and have strong arms like iron, they can kill a lot of thieves with one punch.
And they seemed to be loose and unruly, but in fact they were all on guard. It was said that among the servants who lived in the same house, if someone went out to urinate for too long at night, his companions would report him to the steward the next day.
Therefore, it is almost a fantasy to put an eye in or bribe someone.
To say the least, even if Xu bribes one or two people with huge profits, he is afraid that they will be caught out before they can be used, and it will be self-defeating and get burned. This point has been revealed long before the Chang family.
When it comes to private matters, I have a thorough understanding of it.
At that time, it took a lot of effort to finally find a fish that had slipped through the net, Chang Sui Ning's late wet nurse's son - of course, the unclean and sick fish was now a dead fish.
There is no need to mention these previous things. Now, Chang felt uneasy because he was not sure whether the group of Xuance troops who went to Chang Mansion to deliver their armor and clothes had any instructions from Cui Jing.
What she did was not a deliberate arrangement to frame Chang Sui'an, but a temporary decision. In order to remedy the trouble caused by her unsatisfactory son, she had to choose to blame Chang Sui'an.
Putting aside her long-standing dissatisfaction and resentment against the Chang family, she has "evidence" in her hands, and the Chang family has a motive. What's even more coincidental is that Chang Kuo is not in the capital, and there is no one in the Chang family who can stand in the way...
...In that emergency situation, there is really no better choice than this.
But this kind of temporary decision, something that has not been carefully considered, is destined to be impossible to arrange seamlessly. There will always be many loopholes to be filled in the follow-up...
These days, she has been secretly busy filling in the loopholes, but she still feels unable to feel at ease.
This matter was not easy to handle, and Chang was prepared from the beginning.
After all, the person who died this time was the legitimate daughter of the Changsun family, not those despicable people from the brothel or the mansion... Her traitorous son had caused such a big disaster, and it was destined to not be that simple to deal with the aftermath.
She is not naive enough to think that just putting a jade pendant in it will cover up everything.
But when things come to a close, I have no choice. At this point, there is no possibility of turning back. Even if I stop, it will be doomed, so I can only try my best to make arrangements...
Now that Cui Jing is gone, it is certainly a good thing, but who knows if he has left any arrangements?
There are also those who are close to the Chang family, such as Yu Zeng from Sigongtai. Thinking about it, they will not completely stand by and watch...
And although Chang Sui Ning is young, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Sensing Mrs. Chang's anxiety, the maid tried to ask: "Madam, let's... do we do anything else now?"
"Don't be impatient. Let's wait and see what happens." Chang calmed himself down and said, "After the trial of Chang Sui'an in Dali Temple tomorrow... let's see what the situation is like and then decide what to do next."
To be continued...
