The fourth master and Yu Wenhao talked in the study for more than an hour. After the fourth master informed the situation, they discussed how to set up defenses, how to speed up the research and development of weapons, and how to persuade the court officials and the emperor to agree to the war.
Yu Wenhao was not afraid, he was just worried that Lao Yuan would be afraid, so after discussing with Fourth Master, he immediately returned to Xiaoyue Pavilion to find Yuan Qingling.
Rong Yue had already left. Yuan Qingling was helping Duobao sew clothes in the room. Duobao lay at her feet, his big ears raised. Seeing Yu Wenhao come in, Duobao wagged his tail and moved to the side.
Yu Wenhao stepped forward and hugged Yuan Qingling, looking into her reddish eyes, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Yuan Qingling looked at him, her eyes even redder, "I know that with Lenglangmen and so many people, nothing will happen. Moreover, there are also Erbao, snacks, Snow Wolf, and Xiaohu, so we may not lose."
give them."
Duobao whimpered twice, and Yuan Qingling looked at Duobao and laughed, her voice getting even louder, "Duobao said he can help too."
Yu Wenhao looked deeply at the worry she tried to hide, and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, "Yes, so you don't have to worry. Fourth Master and I have already made a plan. As long as we can send troops quickly, we are not afraid of this reward order.
Because once troops are sent out, the people of the Northern Desert will not be willing to spend this gold anymore and will definitely send them back to prepare for war."
"Um!"
Yuan Qingling felt inexplicably relieved after hearing his confident words.
In fact, unknowingly, he has grown into a hero who can stir up the Northern Tang Dynasty.
They were completely different from the two we met at the beginning of that year.
She had confidence in him, and she had come across many crises, but this time, what did it matter?
The two hugged each other, giving each other strength. When they let go of her, the look of perseverance had returned to her eyes.
He turned his eyes to the clothes on the table, "Double ones?"
Is it broken?"
"I always fight with snow wolves and get bitten by them."
Yuan Qingling smiled and picked it up again, "I'll give it a few more stitches, they're waiting to wear it."
Yu Wenhao smiled and said: "This is actually the first time I have seen dogs wearing clothes, but there are many in your countryside."
"Duobao is old and is afraid of the cold."
Yuan Qingling glanced at Duobao, who was still lying at her feet, with shiny black eyes. Unknowingly, Duobao had been with her for five or six years.
When Duobao was brought back, he was already an adult dog. Huiding Marquis didn't know how long he had kept him. He always thought Duobao was still young, but when the hair on his face began to turn white, he was shocked to realize that Duobao had also stopped.
I'm in middle age.
Duobao used to have many whip marks on his body, which were whipped by the demon Huiding Hou. Now the hair is no longer growing in the places where the whip marks are spread. Duobao will be cold in winter, so I made him clothes because I saw him years ago.
I kept shivering on the porch and didn't dare to go into the snow.
Yu Wenhao picked up Duobao. Duobao put his paws on his knees and stood up, still majestic. When he took him back, his face was bloody and bloody. After the treatment, a scar was left. This
The scars make Duobao look majestic.
Yu Wenhao loved Duobao very much over the years, because without Duobao, Lao Yuan would have died in the hands of Marquis Huiding.
He kissed Duobao and said, "In the blink of an eye, my Duobao has become old."
Duobao nuzzled his face gently and rested his head on his shoulder.
Yu Wenhao held it, looked at Yuan Qing and said: "I have been thinking about the past lately, Lao Yuan, if it happens again, I will definitely not do this to you."
Yuan Qingling raised her head and glanced at him, "Why are you mentioning it after such a long time?"
He stretched out his hand and traced Duobao's hair, his eyes were deep, "I was just thinking, what regrets do I have in this life? The regrets must be that I treated you so badly. Maybe you don't care anymore, but those scenes
I can still remember the scene vividly!"
Yuan Qingling put down her needle and thread and looked at him sideways, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?
It made me feel quite panicked, just like an old man in his seventies or eighties reminiscing about the first half of his life, stop talking about it."
He stared at her and smiled slowly, "Okay, no more."
Yuan Qingling said: "Don't be sorry or regretful, because you have to spend your whole life being kind to me to make up for the bad treatment you once had to me. In this life, you will never think of walking in front of me. No matter what the obstacles are, you
Grit your teeth and hold me through."
"that's for sure!"
he said softly.
Yuan Qingling smiled, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
After he mended the clothes and put them on Duobao, Duobao went away triumphantly.
Yu Wenhao hugged Yuan Qingling, "Don't worry, no matter how big the obstacle is, I will overcome it!"
Yuan Qingling lay in his arms, listening to the strong heartbeat, and responded silently.
Because the Supreme Emperor was feeling unwell, Yuan Qingling went to the palace the next day.
She was actually a little worried that the Supreme Emperor would not want to see her when she entered the palace, but the Supreme Emperor was quite happy to see her coming.
The three of them set up a chess game in the palace. Xiaoyao Gong and Chief Assistant were playing chess. The Supreme Emperor was watching the game, so he was able to say a few words to Yuan Qingling.
All three of them had coughs and strong nasal sounds. They seemed to have a serious cold, but they were taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, but Yuan Qingling did not prescribe any medicine.
When the Supreme Emperor asked why Lao Wu didn't come, Yuan Qing said: "He has summoned his ministers to discuss matters. If he is free tomorrow, ask him to come."
"Do your business, don't come in a hurry, I have nothing to do, just ask casually."
The Supreme Emperor turned his head and looked at him, "Has he said anything these days?"
Yuan Qingling knew what the Supreme Emperor was asking. In this Qiankun Palace, she could speak freely without worrying too much. If she were in other places, she would not dare to say a word. "He thinks he should prepare for war, but support him."
There weren’t many people there, so he was a little anxious.”
"It's because the emperor doesn't support him, so he's worried." The Supreme Emperor took a glass of hot water and drank it. After drinking, he raised his head to clear his nose, then looked at Yuan Qing and said, "What the emperor fears most in his life is war.
Over the years that he has been in power, he will avoid any war that can be avoided, because in the Northern Tang Dynasty, there are really not many generals who can show off. Fortunately, Lao Wu and his brothers are also up to date, and they have established a strong position at a young age.
However, there is a big difference between the previous wars and now, if we want to fight the Northern Desert, we will have to devote all our efforts to the country. The emperor is worried that there are no generals available, and he is afraid that his son will go to the battlefield."
Chu Shoufu was playing chess next to him, and turned around and said, "Before, we joined forces with Zhou Dynasty to attack Su State and Bei Mo. The prince took command, and the emperor couldn't sleep at night. The emperor is not a coward, but we in Northern Tang Dynasty still have some differences with Bei Mo in terms of military affairs."
There is a certain gap.”
Xiaoyao Gong also casually said, "I have said it a thousand times, but I still don't have enough confidence. I have said it a long time ago. If the country wants to develop again, we must not cut down our troops and military expenditures. It is necessary to prepare for war. If we do not prepare for war, we will
Being pressed down and beaten by Bei Mo."
When Yuan Qingling heard what the three of them said, she couldn't help but be confused, "But don't we have Da Zhou's weapons?
Is our military strength still weak?"
"How long can Dazhou's weapons last in a life-and-death battle?
We have no logistical supplies of our own. Once it is destroyed by the enemy or loses a game, most of it will be confiscated. How can what others give us be as good as what is produced in our own country?
I hope the prince and fourth master can successfully develop it and beat the people of the Northern Desert back to their hometown just like they did that year!"
Xiaoyao Gong said and smiled again, "Win!"
Chu Shoufu was annoyed, "It's okay to just think about it."
Xiaoyao Gong stood up proudly, "Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. If there is a war, I will take command!"
The Supreme Emperor and Chu Shoufu looked at each other, and both sighed helplessly, "If you take charge, Nagu and Chu Xiaowu will be your vanguard!"
