Where did the gold go
If Ning Cheng hadn't falsely claimed that Jin Zi had gone to Dongwu Country, rumors would have spread in the army, and the Hei people would have made a fuss.
Because, in the next two months, gold did not appear again.
During the three months that Jin Zi disappeared, the medical team, under the personal leadership of Gu Beiyue, completely controlled the epidemic situation in northern Beili.
The plague did not spread to the south, and almost all cities in the north returned to normal order. Now there are only a dozen patients left, and they were arranged in a deserted place. Gu Beiyue, Mu Linger, and several doctors personally guarded them.
The medical team is still working separately to carry out the final cleanup of the areas where the plague occurred and distribute the prevention and control medicines. Ning Cheng led the soldiers to distribute food and rebuild the city.
Spring and summer are the time when grass grows. Beili has experienced such a catastrophe in spring. Not only has the animal husbandry suffered a great blow, but the population has also dropped sharply. It won't be able to recover in two or three years.
The herdsmen are tough but forthright, they repay kindness with revenge. The herdsmen hailed the Ning family army as the savior of the grassland, respected the soldiers very much, and called Ning Cheng the benefactor of the grassland.
Just when the plague was basically over, news came from Xuejun that the Emperor Beili was forced by the people of Xuejun, had nowhere to go, and fled to the snow mountain to commit suicide. As soon as the Northern Li Emperor died, his loyal followers dispersed and fled.
Ning Cheng always knew that there would be no war at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. He did not go to Xue County in person, but sent his deputy to clean up the mess.
Just like that, Beili, who used to be the most powerful force in Yunkong, was destroyed!
In fact, if there is a real contest, not to mention the Ning family army, it will not be a short-term matter for the Eastern Qin army to destroy Beili. Half of the reason for Northern Li's destruction of the country was the civil strife caused by Jun Yixie, and the other half was because of the plague.
Half a month later, Gu Beiyue rescued seven patients and personally sent away the bodies of nine patients, officially ending the plague in Beili!
Ning Cheng prepared a grand bonfire banquet to reward the soldiers, especially the medical team. But who knew that Gu Beiyue actually asked the doctors of the medical team to leave in a low-key way ahead of time, and he himself had no intention of staying longer.
Just the night before the banquet, he dismissed Mu Linger and came alone to say goodbye to Ning Cheng.
When Gu Beiyue went to the big tent, she thought Ning Cheng would be drinking, but she saw Ning Cheng standing beside the Beili map hanging on the wall, his eyes deep in thought.
Gu Beiyue stood for a moment before saying, "General Ning."
"Come to say goodbye?" Ning Cheng asked, his attention still on the map.
Gu Beiyue and the medical team were arranged to leave, and he was told afterwards that there was nothing he could do.
He knew Gu Beiyue's temper. Tonight, he made a special trip to wait for Gu Beiyue to bid farewell.
Gu Beiyue didn't answer, but when he got closer, he saw that there were many markings on the map, which were distributed in the borders of Beili, the snow-capped mountains, and some large cities.
"Patriarch Ning plans to send troops to station everywhere?" Gu Beiyue asked in a low voice.
Ning Cheng glanced at it, and suddenly laughed, "What? Long Feiye won't agree?"
Long Feiye has been in the Yunning Palace for the past few months, and has almost completed the military deployment of the Yunkong Continent. The Western Zhou Dynasty, Tianning, Tianan, Central, and South are guarded by garrisons, and the situation in the Northern Li has just stabilized.
Whether it is the Western Zhou Dynasty, Tianning Tianan, or the garrisons in the central and southern regions, they are not as exclusive as the Northern Li. Basically, every major region has two or three armies, belonging to different military departments. But in the Northern Calendar, there was only one opposing army, the Ning Family Army, which meant that the Ning Family Army monopolized the entire Northern Calendar.
This is a taboo!
As long as Long Feiye remained silent, the counselors under him and the soldiers under him would have objections.
If Ning Cheng was smart enough, he should not move anything and rush to the Yunning Palace this morning, and let Long Feiye arrange the garrison affairs of Beili himself.
Since Ning Cheng answered Gu Beiyue like this, it means that he is well aware of the serious relationship here.
"Patriarch Ning, whether or not His Highness agrees is His Highness's business. What you do is your own business." Gu Beiyue said lightly.
Who knows, but Ning Cheng replied, "I remember that the princess is fully responsible for the military affairs of Beili. This matter is the princess's business, right? The princess is familiar with Beili. I just want to give this picture to the princess."
Gu Beiyue's expression was still gentle and calm. He said, "Patriarch Ning, the princess is familiar with Beili, but His Highness must have as many Beili maps as you do."
Ning Cheng was slightly taken aback, and soon he seemed to understand something, and laughed loudly, he didn't talk about this matter, but invited Gu Beiyue to the side.
"Come here, bring over all the food and wine prepared by this general!" Ning Cheng shouted.
Only then did Gu Beiyue know that Ning Cheng had already prepared a farewell wine for him.
When the food and wine were served, Gu Beiyue took a look and found that there were only two dishes, not even meat, but the wine was fine wine.
"Gu Beiyue, is there a lot of food in the army? Please just leave it at that." Ning Cheng joked.
Gu Beiyue only replied with two words, "Enough."
It's already the end of summer, and there won't be a bumper harvest in the entire autumn of the northern calendar, and the situation in the ensuing winter will still be severe. By then, we will know how much food support we need from the central and southern regions. Now, they have two dishes with wine here, which is really not bad.
Last time, Ning Cheng saw that Gu Beiyue was in a hurry and didn't have time to sit down, have a glass of wine, and have a good chat. And this time, I finally had the opportunity to say a few words of truth.
They all tacitly did not mention anything about the military, they chatted about the Di and You clan, about each other's childhood, each other's family.
The little thing poked its head out of Gu Beiyue's wide cuffs occasionally, looked at the wine on the table curiously, wanted to drink but didn't dare to ask for it, and struggled for a long time.
It was obviously sneaky, and I don't know why, but while chatting with Ning Cheng, Young Master, I could still see its thoughts.
When the princess poured a glass of wine and put it on the table, the little thing flew out without hesitation, lying on the edge of the glass and eagerly licked it. Just one sip and it's thrilling.
Unexpectedly, the wine was so delicious, so it licked it hard. Soon it will be licked clean for the rest of my life, not a drop left.
At this time, it turned back to look at the young master, it was a little unsteady, it just felt that it was swollen by itself, and its head was shaking, the young master in front of it actually turned into two identical people.
"Squeak..."
The little thing wanted to express something, but unfortunately, it just let out a cry, and then lay down straight on the side.
"This is drunk!" Ning Cheng was shocked.
Gu Beiyue was also quite surprised. Judging from the food intake of the little thing and the invulnerable constitution, it shouldn't be so immune to alcohol!
Ning Cheng's wine is fine wine, but it is not easy to get drunk. Even for people who don't know how to drink, after drinking five or six glasses, they won't be able to lie down directly, right
"How is Gu Beiyue's drinking capacity as a master? If I drink it down, I can keep you for a few more days." Ning Cheng said jokingly.
"The little thing belongs to the princess." Gu Beiyue quickly explained.
Ning Cheng didn't care about this question either, what he was curious about was Gu Beiyue's drinking capacity. He picked up a big jar of wine and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Will you accompany me?"
"Too much alcohol will hurt your health." Gu Beiyue said lightly.
"My heart is relaxed, nothing can hurt my body!" Ning Cheng retorted.
Gu Beiyue pondered for a while, then smiled, "It makes sense."
In the end, he still humbly rejected Ning Cheng's large jar of wine, and did not accompany him to the end, "My drink capacity is average. With Patriarch Ning's capacity for drink, if you want to enjoy yourself, I'm afraid you can only invite His Highness to accompany you."
A look of confusion flashed across Ning Cheng's eyes, he picked up the wine jar and drank it with his head up. He drank it all in one gulp, and threw the wine jar aside.
He laughed, "Yes, I will explain everything in the army in a few days, and then I will go to Yunning and invite him to have a drink! Drink to your heart's content!"
Gu Beiyue was puzzled. Regarding the relationship between Ning Cheng and Long Feiye, Ning Cheng would not really invite Long Feiye to drink, and Long Feiye would not be interested.
But judging from Ning Cheng's tone, it seemed that it wasn't a joke.
That night, Ning Cheng and Gu Beiyue chatted until late at night, while Mu Linger sat alone on the grass outside the camp until late at night.
No matter where you are in the grassland in June, you can see the stars all over the sky just by looking up.
Mu Linger was lying on her back on the grass at this time, looking up at the starry sky.
The starry sky is so bright, but behind it is a bottomless sky. However, if it weren't for the darkness behind him, how could he see the brilliance of the stars
Mu Linger stared blankly, and muttered to herself, "Is it too dark to see the starlight?"
Mu Linger knew that the members of the medical team had left, and also knew that Gu Beiyue would leave tomorrow.
What about her
Three months, three months overdue, gold has never appeared again. Could it be that he doesn't know that there is a word called "overdue waiting"
If he doesn't come, does it mean that the agreement between them is over, and she is incomparably responsible for her promise
Mu Linger sat up suddenly, and said seriously, "Well, I won't wait after the deadline!"
After she thought it through, she strode towards Ning Cheng's big tent. She didn't know that Jin Zi was always nearby, watching her.
In the past three months, Jin Zi hasn't gone anywhere, and has been following her all along!
Mu Ling'er had just arrived at Ning Cheng's tent, before the soldiers informed her, Gu Beiyue and Ning Cheng came out.
"Miss Linger, it's so late, what's the matter?" Ning Cheng asked.
"You talk, I'll go back first." Gu Beiyue left first.
With Gu Beiyue's martial arts, he has long noticed that Jin Zi has been following them, and he has remained calm until now, so he just wants to take care of this matter.
Who knows, Mu Linger suddenly asked, "Doctor Beiyue, are you going back to Medical City to get married?"
In the past few months, Mu Linger has been in contact with the doctors in the medical team, and has heard a lot of gossip about Gu Beiyue's marriage. Many people said that when Gu Beiyue returned from Beili, she would go to the Qin family to propose marriage and prepare for the marriage.
Gu Beiyue was slightly taken aback. He turned his head and took a deep look at Mu Linger. He wanted to laugh it off, but seeing Mu Linger's melancholy face for three months, he finally couldn't help but say, "Girl, busy!" It's your own business."
She can't take care of her own affairs, and still cares about his marriage all day long, this little girl deserves to be melancholy!
