Chapter 10
In fact, Chen Jin's feeling was right. Before she could enter the house, she heard the quarrel inside. She didn't hear what Mr. Wang said, but only heard Chu Xiuyuan say angrily, "Impossible."
Anping knocked on the door and interrupted the words inside. Soon someone opened the door from inside. This was Chen Jin's first time to come to Chu Xiuyuan's room. Unlike Shen Jin's room, Chu Xiuyuan's room did not have any valuable items, but there were a lot of weapons and books. The bed was not made of brocade, but a kind of fine cotton.
Chu Xiuyuan was injured and leaned on the bed. When he saw Chen Jin coming in, he said, "Who asked you to come? Go back."
Butler Wang didn't say anything. Chen Jin was not angry when he looked at Chu Xiuyuan. She actually thought the young man was very good and asked softly, "I still have a lot of tonics. I asked someone to take some. The manager saw what was almost there and told me directly."
"Madam Xie." Butler Wang said.
Chu Xiuyuan's eyes turned red and suddenly said, "You go back and pack up your things, and I'll have someone take you away tonight."
Butler Wang showed some disagreement in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
When she heard this, Chen Jin's heart suddenly moved. She wanted to agree because she believed that Chu Xiuyuan kept his word, but where could she go after she agreed? If she returned to the Rui Prince's Mansion in the capital, I am afraid that King Rui would either send her back or die of illness directly for the sake of fame or not offend Yongning Body...
King Rui doesn't care whether the border town is fighting or something else.
All thoughts were just a moment of thought, and outsiders didn't see anything. Chen Jin just said, "I won't leave, let Butler Wang arrange someone to send you away first."
Butler Wang's expression calmed down a lot when he heard this. He also glanced at Chen Jin high. Chu Xiuyuan said directly, "There is no one in my Chu family who fled without a fight."
"You are still a child and you are injured." Chen Jin's voice was soft and she had fun eating behind the border town. She grew taller and lost weight some time ago, but now she is round again. Because her bones are small, she doesn't look fat, but a perfect feeling, with a rosy complexion and watery eyes, she looks very cute. "Is there anything I can do?"
Chen Jin knew that they would not call themselves over for no reason. When others spoke, she would passively agree, so she would rather speak up.
Butler Wang and Chu Xiuyuan looked at each other and only told the situation of the border city. As Shen Jin expected, the situation is very bad now. Chu Xiuming himself should have brought people back long ago, but he didn't know what happened and did not return until now. However, the barbarians attacked the city some time ago, but who knew that spies had actually appeared in the city. The generals who stayed in the border city did not die on the battlefield but died at the hands of the spy.
When talking about spies, both Mr. Wang and Chu Xiuyuan's faces looked ugly. Chen Jin did not understand war, but she had a lot of speculation about people's hearts. For a moment, Chen Jin suspected that these spies were not arranged by the barbarians, but... Chen Jin was sweating in a cold sweat because of this guess, and his face became ugly.
However, butler Wang and Chu Xiuyuan only thought Chen Jin was frightened by their words, so they didn't care.
"I have sent someone to ask for help, but the reinforcements have not arrived yet." Butler Wang said in a deep voice.
Chen Jin had already guessed what Mr. Wang had asked her to do, but he felt incredible. He looked at the injured Chu Xiuyuan and looked at Mr. Wang again. Mr. Wang had no choice but to see Chen Jin guessing what he meant, but in Mr. Wang's heart, there was nothing that could not be sacrificed except the general and the second young master, including himself, he had to guard the border city for the general.
The customs of border cities are different from those of capital cities. Everyone here is a soldier. Not only men, but even women can take up weapons to fight. In the border town without generals, one person needs to stand up and lead the people here to fight against the barbarians.
With Yongning Bo's position in the hearts of the people in the border town, everyone was willing to listen to Chu Xiuyuan. However, Chu Xiuyuan is seriously injured. Even if Chen Jin did not see the crisis at that time, it can be seen that he was seriously injured, and there was an unconcealed smell of blood in the room. There was no blood on his face, and even he was weak in speaking.
Now someone must stand up on behalf of Chu Xiuyuan. The situation in the border town is related to Yongning Bo. The only one who can make everyone obey orders is Yongning Bo, the wife who has just passed the door.
Princess Chen Jin's identity is not very useful, but Mrs. Yongning Bo's identity is enough.
"I will send someone to protect my wife." Butler Wang said.
Chen Jin moved his lips. If protection was really useful, how could Chu Xiuyuan be so seriously injured? Looking at Chen Jin's eyes, Butler Wang felt a little guilty. Thinking of their attitude towards Chen Jin, he softened his attitude and said, "And it's just a symbol that doesn't require the wife to really go to the battlefield."
"I understand." Chen Jin swallowed before saying, "I know what you mean."
"Send my sister-in-law away." Chu Xiuyuan said, "This is a man's business."
Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan. She was particularly sober at this time. If Chu Xiuyuan could move, they would never let him come. If he was scared in front of everyone, it would be a fatal blow. It is not impossible. The sharpest weapon Chen Jin has ever taken in his life may be scissors.
Butler Wang said, "Madam, just hold on until the general comes back."
Chen Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but you must agree to my request."
"Sister-in-law..." Chu Xiuyuan looked ashamed. He led his troops out of the city to sneak attack the enemy, but he was discovered. The guards around him tried their best to rescue him. However, not only were he shot arrows on his shoulders and abdomen, but he was injured on his legs and could not move at all. He understood that someone in the Chu family must stand out, and he had been doing well... Otherwise, the border city would not have been broken until now.
But now, Chu Xiuyuan was seriously injured and died of death and never cried, but his eyes were red at this moment, "Sister-in-law, just say it."
"No matter whether I die or live after this incident, Yongning Uncle wants to ask my biological mother for a title." Chen Jin was afraid of death, very afraid, and even more afraid that her mother would be sad after her death. Her mother was the only daughter. If she died, then her mother would have no hope at all. "And find a way to raise a concubine's son in my biological mother's name."
If such a request was made in normal times, Mr. Wang would have suspected that Chen Jin had ulterior motives, but now he had no intention of stopping him. Chu Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll promise you for my brother."
Chen Jin nodded, "You should recover from your injuries." After saying that, he looked at Butler Wang, "What do you need me to do, tell me directly."
Manager Wang nodded and talked to Shen Jin about the specific situation of the border town. Chen Jin didn't know at the beginning, but now he knew it, he became generous and took Manager Wang to the warehouse where she put her dowry, and brought out all the medicinal materials and various materials. However, Chen Jin's dowry fabrics were mostly silk and satin. In this environment, it was really useless. However, the spices were left by Manager Wang.
In fact, what Chen Jin has to do is not difficult. She is just standing up and leading troops to fight the enemy is not the turn of her. Naturally, there are counselors like General Manager Wang. However, Chen Jin still wrote a few letters and sent them to the capital to King Rui, and some used the princess's name to talk about the situation in the border town...
These are all requested by General Manager Wang. What Chen Jin needs to do is copy it and stamp the princess's seal.
After all, the princess is also a royal relative, and is different from the ones who were later awarded the title.
If there is a chance to choose, Chen Jin will never stand up. Because of the situation in Prince Rui's Mansion, Chen Jin has developed a spirit of being easily satisfied since childhood, but today, she has to stand up.
At this moment, Chen Jin truly realized that with Mrs. Yongning Bo's identity alone, both soldiers and the people in the border town respected her very much, and implemented every decision she made meaningless, even if it was to die...
Is it responsibility? Chen Jin didn't know that she said what Mr. Wang asked her to carry, and ordered one by one was executed. Now the guards of the city were not all soldiers, and there were many people, all men took up weapons, and all women spontaneously began to take care of the injured. The food stored in the home was taken out by them to supply them to those who needed to fight.
The old man and the young child made fire and cooked, and the young woman carried the injured person behind. It seemed that there was no difference between men and women. If Anping had not supported her by her side, Chen Jin would not be able to stand at all. Those bloody wounds, those piled up corpses, and the soles of the feet were stained with blood.
Manager Wang did not make things difficult for Chen Jin, at least he did not ask Chen Jin to stand on the city wall. Chen Jin was wearing a horse-riding suit and his face was pale. An Ping even suspected that she would faint the next moment.
But Chen Jin held on, the war became more and more tense, and the barbarians seemed to have received some news, and their attacks became more fierce.
The barbarians carried the wooden donkey to transport the earthen bags to build the fish beam road, and used the city car to hit the city walls with force...
In order to stop the barbarians, the only remaining cavalry in the border town attacked again and again, and even in the end there were no cavalry. Those men who could ride horses took the initiative to lead the horses at home and formed a team silently and rushed out. They all knew that this was bound to die, but the barbarians could not let the barbarians break through the city wall, and they could not let the barbarians build the Yuliang Road. Behind this city wall were their parents, their wives and their children...
After using up the bows and arrows in the border town, they attacked back and forth with rocks, rolled on the wood, and crushed the enemy soldiers into meat pie. Even if they just touched it, the nails could make many blood holes. After throwing it, they used a wheel to pull them back to the top of the city.
Rolling wood is very powerful and useful, but it consumes almost the same amount, and there is very little left to use. Even if you install it again, there will be no time to get so many nails on it.
The cruelty of war will not really understand it if anyone hasn't experienced it.
