Family Has a Concubine

Chu Yunpan turned back, his cold eyes shot at Qian Zhixin.

Qian Zhixin snorted coldly: "You are going to go..."

Before he could say a few more words of theory, Chu Yunpan had already stepped forward in three steps and grabbed Qian Zhixin's front: "You old man, I have tolerated you for a long time."

"You, what do you want to do?" Qian Zhixin was shocked when he thought that he would do it suddenly.

The surrounding courtiers were also shocked, Yao Yangcheng was furious, and took two steps forward: "Chu Yunpan, what do you want to do?"

"Bold Chu Yunpan, how dare you lose your dignity in front of the palace." All the courtiers shouted in surprise.

The corner of Prince Ruya's mouth twitched, but thinking that Yingcheng needed him now, he kept silent. King Liang sneered and laughed.

Emperor Zhengxuan covered his eyes with one hand, almost lost his sight, and coughed dryly: "Calm down! General Chu!"

Only then did Chu Yunpan shake off Qian Zhixin.

Qian Zhixin was thrown so that he fell backwards. Fortunately, many officials behind him caught him, so he didn't fall to the ground and made a joke.

Chu Yunpan sneered: "The last time General Feng dispatched 200,000 troops, you asked me to bring 50,000? Just to explain to the people, you should do a better job! Who will deceive the 50,000 troops?"

The faces of the courtiers turned red, and Qian Zhixin stood up straight, the flesh on his face trembling.

"Okay. It's getting late, don't procrastinate any longer." Emperor Zhengxuan snorted coldly, pondered for a moment before saying, "Order 150,000 troops."

Liang Wang's handsome face darkened. This time Xilu and Nanman sent a total of 350,000 cavalry. 300,000 yuan was stationed in Yingcheng, and 130,000 yuan was finally discounted, and the remaining 170,000 yuan was kept in Yingcheng. Old General Feng only brought 200,000 to meet up. A total of 370,000 troops, the last remaining 30,000 people fled to Yu'an Pass and guarded it to death.

Now Chu Yunpan was asked to bring 150,000 people there. The situation was much worse than he expected.

"The final general obeys the order." After Chu Yunpan saluted, he turned and left.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at the back of him leaving, with some melancholy in his eyes, and waved his hand: "Let's go to court! Continue to discuss tomorrow!"

The past few days are really exhausting, and Emperor Zhengxuan can't hold on any longer. Now the problem in front of him is considered to be resolved, and the follow-up matters need to be discussed later.

...

After Chu Yunpan went out, the courtiers dispersed, and soon, the entire palace and even the common people knew that the emperor had not given up on Yingcheng and Yu'an Pass, and had already sent troops to lead the western expedition.

The people originally guessed that the ones sent out this time should be Old Master Zheng, or the two uncles of the Zheng family in Beijing, but to the surprise of the people, it was actually the Chu family who sent them!

"Which Chu family?" There were still some people who couldn't reflect for a while.

"Which other Chu family could it be? Naturally, it is the Dingguobo Mansion in the north of the city."

"Oh, so it's the Chu family. Can this Chu family do it?"

"The last time Yingcheng was slaughtered, it was the responsibility of the Chu family. In the end, Yu'an Pass was defeated, and more than a dozen Chu family sons died. Oh, no, not all of them died, and there was still Uncle Chu, the general at the time. Tsk tsk, I don’t know how to lead the soldiers, brothers and uncles are all dead, and he came back alive by himself. Now he is living like a wimp.”

"No, that's a coward. I heard that I loved reading since I was a child, but because of family problems, I was forced to become a general. Isn't it the literary way now?"

"Uncle Chu is going on the expedition now?"

"No, it's not him. It's his son, Chu Sanlang, who was made General of the Western Expedition. He's still the number one scholar!"

"Hey? Is he a number one scholar? Maybe he has two points of ability! To win the title of number one scholar, he must have good martial arts and is very brave!"

"What's so brave, people call it brilliant! That's a literary champion!"

"Damn it! Isn't it the champion of martial arts? Can a champion of literature lead the army and drive the Xilu thief out of our Daqi?"

"However, if you don't send him, who else can you send?" After speaking, the people all looked at each other in blank dismay.

They counted, and they really didn't have any generals to use in Daqi.

"Besides, the emperor asked him to go to war. He must have something special. How can I say that the ancestors of the Chu family are all heroes, how many years have they guarded our territory?"

Following Chu Yunpan's expedition, the common people thought of the magnificence and bravery of the Chu family back then, and the hearts that had been raised in response to the time of the city for many days finally fell.

Dingguobo Mansion——

Uncle Chu, Mrs. Qin, Chu Miaoshu, Chu Feiyang and others were chatting in the Xici room of Yixiangyuan, and they were laughing out loud at what they said.

"Hey, it's noon now, my stomach is growling, why hasn't Sanlang left the office yet?" Uncle Chu was so hungry that his body was a little weak.

He usually eats at 2:00 noon.

The green branch outside responded: "It's already half past noon."

Qin frowned, and snorted softly: "Knowing that he often leaves the office at irregular times, let's eat separately at noon, we want to eat together, it's the same at night."

"Wait a little longer." Uncle Chu sighed slightly when he saw her sharpness.

Qin Shi pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Master! Master——" At this moment, a shout sounded, and Dafu rushed in, panting, with an extremely ugly expression: "Something happened..."

"What happened?" Uncle Chu put down the teacup in his hand and frowned.

"Yingcheng and Yu'an Pass sent troops today, send..."

"Oh, I've said it several times, don't come back to me about things in Yingcheng." Uncle Chu frowned in disgust, and slapped his hands, "Go and see, when Sanlang will go to the Yamen."

"What you're talking about... is about the third master." Dafu's face was almost wrinkled into a ball, and he didn't care about Uncle Chu. The city has been massacred. Naturally, there must be no one going there. Everyone knows that they need to send troops, but after much deliberation, they can't find a suitable candidate. Then, early this morning, the third master took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Yu'an Pass, and the emperor agreed."

"What did you say?" Uncle Chu was startled, "Sanlang... You said Sanlang..."

"The third master took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Yu'an Pass. The emperor named the second-rank general of the Western Expedition, and set off immediately!"

"How is it possible..." Uncle Chu felt his eyes darken, and his whole body trembled, "Besides, it's him... who volunteered? He's crazy!"

Qin Shi, Chu Miaoshu, Chu Congke and others were all shocked, such a thing happened, was his mind caught by the door? Didn't he take part in the scientific examination? Didn't he already serve as an official in the court? Why go on an expedition?

At this moment, the green leaf outside ran in: "Master, madam, the third master is back! Do you want to set the meal now?"

"Show me some food!" Uncle Chu shouted angrily, his whole body jumped up, and then ran outside.

For so many years, Qin Shi and others have never seen him lose such a big temper.

Chu Yunpan, who was preparing to go on an expedition these days, had already prepared his burdens, but he had the most important thing, which was the military flag.

The military flag has been placed in the east wing of the ancestral hall, which is the flag used by the Chu family when they are in command.

Chu Yunpan walked to the ancestral hall, offered incense to the ancestors, took the military flag, and strode away.

Back in the Xikua courtyard, when I was about to go to the stable at the place where the flowers hang down, I saw Uncle Chu, Mrs. Qin and others chasing after me from a distance.

"Sanlang! Sanlang! Where are you going?" Uncle Chu shouted as he ran over.

"Didn't you receive the news a long time ago?" After Chu Yunpan said this, he strode towards the stable.

"Are you crazy? Or stupid?" Uncle Chu was crying and chasing him, finally caught up with him, and quickly grabbed his arm: "Do you know where that is? It took so much effort to get the exam." Zhuangyuanlang, you obviously have a great future waiting there, why do you want to go to that place that eats people without spitting out their bones, huh?"

Chu Yunpan didn't speak, just shook off his hand and continued to walk forward.

Uncle Chu was staggered by him, and he was limping, so he couldn't run fast enough. When he caught up again, Chu Yunpan had already got on his horse, flicked the whip, and rushed out with the horse.

Uncle Chu chased his back and went out, desperately shouting: "Sanlang! Sanlang! Come back!"

But Chu Yunpan's figure had already disappeared, Uncle Chu watched from afar, and fell down on the ground, feeling that everything was going to end, and then he couldn't help crying out: "What a crime! The family finally had a champion, and in a few years, they will be a scholarly family, and the lintel will be changed, why can't you think about it like this!"
