Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 514: On the Eve of the Westward Journey

Among the mountains in the southwest, summer temperatures make the southern jungle feel unbearably sweltering.

Fu Fengcheng stood solemnly on the hillside and looked into the distance, thinking about something, all he could see was a vast expanse of emerald green.

"Brother Fu!" Yue Li hurried to find him from behind, sweating profusely, obviously something urgent.

Fu Fengcheng came back to his senses, turned to look at Yue Li, "Brother Yue, what happened?"

Yue Li looked solemn, and said in a deep voice, "The Northwest Army was defeated."

Young Master Fu couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, "Northwest Army was defeated?" The battle will inevitably determine the winner, but Fu Fengcheng thought that with Song Ye and Song Lang around, no matter what, they wouldn't be defeated, at least not so soon It's a big defeat. At that moment, his eyes sank slightly, and he said, "What happened?"

Yue Li sighed, handed him the telegram in his hand and said, "Brother Fu, read it yourself."

Fu Fengcheng took it and glanced at ten lines at a glance, the coldness in his eyes became more and more condensed, he lifted his foot and walked back.

Yue Li froze for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly followed.

In the simple marching tent, Fu Fengcheng, Yue Li and Shen Sinian each occupied a corner beside a big table. All three of them had a telegram that they had just received not long ago. Although the sources of the news were different, the contents were all similar.

Looking at the telegram in front of him, Shen Sinian was a little worried, "It's a bit of a coincidence." The Neroes suffered a defeat in the Southwest, and this news was unknown to outsiders except the Neroes themselves and a few people who knew the inside story. Woolen cloth. Seeing that the situation in the southwest was good, something happened suddenly in the northwest. Shen Sinian didn't know whether he should think it was a coincidence of their bad luck or some unknown secret.

Fu Fengcheng said calmly, "Da Yin currently has more than 500,000 soldiers and horses deployed on the border, and the highest commander is Zhe Ye, a five-star general of the Dayin Army. At present... Dayin's soldiers and horses near the northwest include three A-type legions and two A Type B Legion. One five-star general and eight lieutenant generals." As for the next ones, I don't bother to talk about them.

Both Yue Li and Shen Sinian were silent for a while, and then said after a while, "The people of Dayin came prepared, and they almost gave their all." Naturally, Dayin's troops were more than half a million, but Dayin It has a vast territory and has disputes with several countries in the west. It is definitely not a joke to mobilize 500,000 soldiers and horses to invade the northwest at this time.

In the same way, it is almost impossible for the other party to engage in such a battle, and it is almost impossible to negotiate peace.

Fu Fengcheng was not moved, and said calmly, "Of course I came prepared, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that the Nile people and those small countries in the Western Regions are all joining in the fun at this time?" There is still no one, including Yin, who is An Xia's opponent. As the saying goes, ants kill elephants, and they cannot fight one-on-one. It is hard to say that these countries collude together.

Yue Li was a little annoyed, "These people formed an alliance secretly, and we didn't even know about it. I really don't know what those people in the capital are doing!"

Shen Sinian and Fu Fengcheng didn't speak, not only the capital didn't know about it, but they also ignored it.

In other words, they all considered that Sun Liang would hook up with those people, but they didn't expect that it would really happen and would pull up such a big momentum. After all, everyone knows that each country has its own interests, and it is not easy to form an alliance without external pressure.

It's just... It seems that they all underestimated Anxia's attractiveness to these countries.

Although Anxia's internal affairs have not reached the point of war in the past two years, it can be seen from the assassination of Fu Fengcheng, the purge of the Fu family's intelligence network in Yongcheng, and the turmoil in the capital last year that it is indeed quite chaotic. I'm afraid these people also want to take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie, tearing off a piece of An Xia's body to eat.

Shen Sinian sighed, looked at Fu Fengcheng and asked, "Brother Fu, what should we do?" What should we do means, should we continue to entangle with the Nile people, or should we support the Northwest first.

Now that the Song family is in big trouble, it is certain that they cannot resist Dayin with their own strength. On the contrary, on their side, if they just want to maintain the situation, they can leave some soldiers and horses to delay with the Nile, and they can deploy a certain amount of troops to support the northwest. The most important thing is that several telegrams from the northwest mentioned that Song Lang's whereabouts are unknown. If Mr. Fu can go to the northwest, it should be of great help to the war.

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "No, let's continue fighting."

Yue Li and Shen Sinian looked at each other. What else did Yue Li want to say, Fu Fengcheng said, "Longyue and Lou Lanzhou are in Jiazhou. We must get rid of the Nile people as soon as possible. Once Sun Liang realizes that there is a threat behind him, The troops will be withdrawn from the northwest immediately. Besides... General Yao has already led the Second Army to intercept the Nile's retreat, if we withdraw at this time, it will be tantamount to leaving him in the Nile's siege."

Shen Sinian took a deep breath and asked, "Is there time?"

Fu Fengcheng glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Trust Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou."

Shen Sinian stood up and said in a deep voice, "Okay! The old part of the Shen family has almost assembled. Although there are not many people, they can help. Let's settle the matter in the southwest first. Since the Nile people Don’t even think about getting out if you dare to come in!”

The omen of the bad situation in the Northwest was very obvious, and soon there were many foreigners in Jiazhou City. From the appearance and clothes of these people, one can tell at a glance that they are from the northwest. Obviously, some quick-witted people sensed the danger in the northwest and fled to Jiazhou to seek refuge.

It is said that some people went directly to the capital or the six southern provinces.

Because of the appearance of these people and the fact that Governor Fu and Governor Long were in the capital in the major newspapers these days, the atmosphere in Jiazhou that had just eased down began to become tense again. Panicked emotions are easily contagious, and some wealthy businessmen in Jiazhou City even began to plan to migrate to the southeast, lest the flames of war will burn to Jiazhou at any time.

"Sa Sa!" Leng Sa just came out of the Jiazhou Chamber of Commerce when she heard a familiar female voice behind her.

Looking back, she saw Song Xuanan, Lucy and Bai Xi standing across the street and waving at her. Standing with them were Yu Xinyou and Liang Rao.

Leng Sa was startled, and quickly walked over, asking, "Why are you here?"

Bai Xi smiled and said, "We have already arrived in Jiazhou, we are here to help."

Leng Sa slightly raised her eyebrows to look at Song Xuan, who nodded with a smile, "Really, Xiaoxiao came to Jiazhou with Uncle and Aunt An earlier, and the medical team still needs a lot of nurses. Isn't the school almost on holiday? Let's go together The registration is here. We were all helping out in other places before, and we just arrived in Jiazhou City today."

Leng Sa was really surprised. Based on this calculation, they should have come to Jiazhou with Mr. Hua's group, and it has indeed been quite a while.

Stretching out her hand to touch Bai Xi's cheeks that were tanned red by the sun, Leng Sa looked at Yu Xinyou again, "Xinyou, you are not in good health, no matter what..."

Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "Ah Rao and I just arrived in Jiazhou yesterday, but we met Ah Xuan and the others before we had time to go to the Governor's Mansion to look for you."

"Ah Rao..." The last time I met Liang Rao was more than two years ago. Liang Rao looked calmer and thinner, as if he had grown into a real adult all of a sudden.

Although we haven't seen each other for two years, Leng Sa and Liang Rao are no strangers to communication because of Jing Shu's incident in Jiazhou.

Sighing lightly, he said coldly, "You came back to see Governor Liang and his wife, right? We buried the two of them in the Liang family's cemetery. I'll accompany you to visit later."

Liang Rao's eyes were a little red, and she stepped forward to hug Leng Sa and said in a low voice, "Sa Sa, thank you."

Although many people secretly said that the Fu family took advantage of the disappearance of the Liang family, but Liang Rao didn't have any prejudice against the Fu family in his heart, and was even grateful. If it wasn't for Sun Wei and members of the Fu family to protect her and help her find her younger brother to send them to Yongcheng, I'm afraid there would be no one in the Liang family now.

After arriving in Yongcheng, Governor Fu didn't beat around the bush with nice but useless words, but simply explained to her the current situation and what the Fu family could do for their siblings. The Fu family rescued them and even returned all of their father's inheritance to them. Governor Fu thought of his friendship with his father, which is not a matter of course. Even if Governor Fu didn't give them anything or even cared about their life and death, what could others do except say a few words of sympathy?

Leng Sa shook her head and patted her vest lightly, "My condolences, Governor Liang and his wife must also hope that you two are well."

Yu Xinyou supported Liang Rao and said, "Okay, Ah Rao, let's talk in another place, there are too many people on the street and it's too noisy."

Liang Rao didn't want to go back to the Governor's Mansion yet, she and Yu Xinyou lived in a nearby hotel, and it happened that Song Xuan and the others were staying nearby, so Leng Sa explained a few words to the people who followed them and went to the hotel with them .

Liang Rao didn't just come back to pay homage to Governor Liang and his wife. Because of the previous military disaster in Jiazhou, there was a serious shortage of manpower at all levels of the government. Liang Rao and Yu Xinyou were recruited to help.

They were accompanied by twenty or thirty young men and women of the same age. These people were senior students from several universities in Yongcheng. It happened that the school was on vacation at this time.

Song Xuan was also very interested in hearing this. If she hadn't come to Jiazhou with An Luxi and Bai Xi first, she would probably have joined Yu Xinyou and the others.

Leng Sa also agrees with this very much, Jiazhou is really short of manpower now. Although these young people have not yet graduated, most of them can't do any important jobs, but many basic departments are really short of people. There are not many local schools in Jiazhou, and it is not easy to recruit people. These students are at least much faster than those who have not been formally studied, especially in some professional fields.

An Luxi still wants to go back to Yongcheng's medical team to help and study, and Bai Xi is more interested in helping take care of patients and treating the wounded than doing odd jobs in the official department. So in the end, the two still returned to the medical team, while Song Xuan stayed behind with Yu Xinyou and Liang Rao to help the official institutions in Jiazhou.

Although it is considered an old acquaintance in a foreign land, everyone has their own things, and Leng Sa can only chat with everyone for a while to understand the situation before getting up and going back to the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Bai Xi held her small face and couldn't help but said, "I feel that Sa Sa has changed a lot compared to when she was in school."

Ann Lucy nodded in agreement.

Liang Rao was a little curious, "Isn't Sa Sa like this in school?" In Liang Rao's impression, Leng Sa has always been a very powerful person. Although she also felt that seeing Sa Sa this time was more resolute than two years ago, but this is also normal. Sa Sa has done a lot of great things in the past two years.

Bai Xi sighed faintly, "I think back then, the demure, elegant and beautiful Sa Sa was the light of our Faculty of Arts." She is good-looking, good at studying, young, and comes from a scholarly family. Although Sa Sa has always been low-key, she is indeed a Literary Faculty The light of the academy in the eyes of all the seniors.

Yu Xinyou smiled and said, "Sa Sa is also very good now." She also couldn't imagine what the demure and elegant Leng Sa that Bai Xi described would look like.

Song Xuan stretched out her hand and patted Bai Xi's head and said, "Take it as someone close to Zhu Zhechi, Sa Sa is now hanging out with Young Master Fu. You didn't see the news a few days ago, Sa Sa and Long Shao suppressed a Your dean will definitely be proud of Sa Sa, the horse bandit den that has been entrenched near Jiazhou for more than ten years."

"Yes." Bai Xi nodded, then quickly shook her head and said, "Closing to Zhu Zhe Chi? Is it to getting close to Mo Zhe Hei? Fu Shao has brought Sa Sa down, and our dean will cry. And I think... Sa Sa is like this." It's hard work." She has only been in Jiazhou for less than a month and feels exhausted every day, and Sa Sa has more things to do than she does.

Several other people exchanged glances with each other, and said in their hearts: I am afraid that you are the only one who thinks that Sa Sa is not black at all, you were blackened by others, right?

"Even if it's hard work, what Sa Sa is doing now is more meaningful than sitting in the study all day." Yu Xinyou said.

It's not that there is anything wrong with being a talented woman, but that Leng Sa can obviously do more things than being a talented woman, and she is obviously more inclined to these things.

Ms. Yu felt that anyway, she didn't quite see what Mrs. Fu's talent was to become a generation of talented women.

Bai Xi nodded and said, "Xin You is right, Sa Sa has worked so hard and we have to work hard to do more meaningful things! Let's work hard together!"

The others all looked at each other and smiled. Among them, only the young lady of the Bai family was the most carefree.

In fact, this is also very good, very happy.

Leng Sa returned to the Governor's Mansion, and there was an unexpected guest in the Governor's Mansion.

Looking at Zhang Jingzhi who was drinking tea with Lou Lanzhou in the lobby, Leng Sa raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Young Master Zhang? Why are you also in Jiazhou?"

Zhang Jingzhi smiled, "Yeah? Who else is here?"

Leng Sa recounted the encounter with Song Xuan and the others, and Zhang Jingzhi said, "Huizhi went back to the capital to visit his father, otherwise he might also follow her. These little girls... are quite courageous."

Lou Lanzhou was a little curious while drinking tea, "Miss Song is here too?"

"..." Leng Sa couldn't help but raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Did General Song not know that Ah Xuan came to Jiazhou?" I had never heard Song Boang mention it before, and Leng Sa probably didn't know that Song Boang himself My daughter has come to Jiazhou.

She even forgot to ask Song Xuan to come over to meet Song Boang, it seemed that she was really confused. But it's not a big deal, I'll tell Song Boang later that it's convenient for Axuan to meet her father and daughter in Jiazhou City.

"Why did you come to Jiazhou?" Leng Sa sat down, looked at Zhang Jingzhi and asked.

Zhang Jingzhi said with a smile, "Inspector Fu has already set off to return to Yongcheng. Before leaving Beijing, the governor sent me a letter. The capital has agreed to send troops from the four northern provinces to support the Northwest. Inspector Fu hopes that I can come and help coordinate the logistics of military supplies. "

Leng Sa suddenly realized, "The warlord said earlier that he would send someone to help, so it turned out that he was looking for you."

Zhang Jingzhi smiled and said, "That's right, I'll take a salary and do a job for two points, and the young lady will remember to pay more bonuses later."

Leng Sa was speechless, "Does Young Master Zhang still need my bonus?" Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng are not stingy people. Almost half of the early stage construction of the Fu Group was contributed by Zhang Jingzhi, and Leng Sa did not treat him badly and directly gave him a lot of shares .

Lou Lanzhou looked at Zhang Jingzhi in surprise, and felt that Zhang Jingzhi seemed to have changed a lot since he was in the capital. But now is not the time to talk about these things, Lou Lanzhou directly brought the topic back on track, saying: "We have received the order from the military department, the two armies of the military department, plus the two newly formed armies in Jiazhou, will be dispatched immediately. Set off for the northwest. Later, the four northern provinces will send three armies to the northwest, and the logistics will really be exhausting for Brother Zhang."

This is not an easy task, several aspects of soldiers and horses, weapons and equipment and logistics are different. The sources of logistics and military supplies are also different. If the front line is messed up, there will be big problems.

It is no easier than winning a big battle to ensure that the entire logistics is smooth and worry-free.

Zhang Jingzhi was not too polite, and smiled at Lou Lanzhou, "Brother Lou went to the Northwest in person is the real hard work, and Zhang is just following behind to fight, it's all part of his job." Looking at Leng Sa again, he frowned Said, "Listen to Mr. Lou, the young lady is also going to the northwest?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Originally I was a little worried, but now that Young Master Zhang has come to Jiazhou, I feel relieved. When the reinforcements are ready, Master Lou will take the reinforcements to the northwest directly. I will not go with Master Lou, I will go to the northwest alone have a look."

Zhang Jingzhi somewhat understood what Leng Sa was better at, but was just a little worried, "Do Young Master Fu and Governor Fu know?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang, don't worry, I won't sneak away. Of course I reported it to the warlord."

Zhang Jingzhi nodded and felt relieved, he didn't want to wait for First Young Master Fu to come back and kill him.
