In fact, Shen Jin's feeling was right, she heard the quarrel inside before she entered the room, she didn't hear what Mr. Wang said, only heard Chu Xiuyuan say angrily, "Impossible."
Anping knocked on the door and interrupted the conversation inside. Soon someone opened the door from the inside. This was Shen Jin's first visit to Chu Xiuyuan's room. Unlike Shen Jin's room, Chu Xiuyuan's room was nothing. As for the valuables, there are many weapons and books, and the bed is not brocade, but a kind of fine cotton.
Chu Xiuyuan was injured and sat on the bed, his face was pale, and when Shen Jin came in, he said, "Who told you to come, go back."
Butler Wang didn't speak. Shen Jin didn't get angry when she saw Chu Xiuyuan's appearance. She actually thought this young man was very nice, and asked softly, "I still have a lot of tonics. I asked someone to bring some. The manager sees what’s missing, and tell me directly.”
"Mrs. Xie." Butler Wang said.
Chu Xiuyuan's eyes turned red and he suddenly said, "Go back and pack your things, and I'll have someone send you away at night."
Steward Wang showed some disapproval in his eyes, but he didn't speak.
When she heard this sentence, Shen Jin's heart skipped a beat. She really wanted to agree, because she believed that Chu Xiuyuan kept his word, but where could she go if she agreed? If you go back to Prince Rui's Mansion in the capital, I'm afraid that whether it's for fame or not to offend Yongningbo, King Rui will either send her back or die of illness...
King Rui didn't care whether the border town was at war or something else.
All the thoughts were just for a moment, outsiders didn't see the slightest bit, Shen Jin just said, "I won't leave, let Steward Wang arrange someone to send you away first."
Steward Wang's expression softened a lot when he heard the words, and he gave Shen Jin a high look. Chu Xiuyuan said directly, "No one in my Chu family fled without a fight."
"You're still a child, and you're injured." Shen Jin's voice was soft and gentle. She had a lot of fun after eating in the border town, but she grew a little taller. She also lost weight a while ago, but now she's round again. Because the bones are small, it doesn't make you look fat, but it just feels right, your face is rosy, your eyes are watery, and you look very cute, "Is there anything I can do?"
Shen Jin knew that they would not ask her to come over for no reason, and when someone else spoke, she would passively agree, rather than take the initiative.
Steward Wang and Chu Xiuyuan looked at each other, and just told the situation in the border town. As Shen Jin expected, the current situation is very bad. Chu Xiuming should have brought someone back long ago, but he didn't know what happened The matter was delayed and he has not returned so far. However, when the barbarians attacked the city some time ago, who knew that there were spies in the city, and the generals who stayed in the border city did not die on the battlefield but died in the hands of the spies.
When it comes to spies, both Steward Wang and Chu Xiuyuan have ugly faces. Shen Jin doesn't understand war, but she has a lot of speculation about people's hearts. For a moment, Shen Jin suspected that these spies were not arranged by those barbarians. Rather... Shen Jin broke out in a cold sweat because of this guess, and his face became ugly.
But Steward Wang and Chu Xiuyuan only thought that Shen Jin was frightened by their words, but they didn't care.
"I've already sent someone for help, but the reinforcements haven't arrived yet." Steward Wang said in a deep voice.
Shen Jin already guessed what Steward Wang asked her to do, but felt incredible. He looked at the injured Chu Xiuyuan and then at Steward Wang. Steward Wang had no choice but to see that Shen Jin had guessed what he meant, and he couldn't believe it. A little guilty, but in Wang's heart, apart from the general and the second young master, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, including himself. He must guard the border city for the general.
The customs of the border town are different from those of the capital city. All the people here are soldiers, not only men, but even women can take up arms to fight. In the border town without generals, one person needs to stand up and lead the people here to fight against those barbarians.
And relying on Uncle Yongning's status in the hearts of the people in the border town, everyone is willing to listen to Chu Xiuyuan's words, but now that Chu Xiuyuan is seriously injured, even if Shen Jin didn't see how dangerous it was at that time, he can still see now that he was seriously injured , the smell of blood could not be concealed in the room, there was no trace of blood on his face, and he was weak even when speaking.
Now someone must stand up instead of Chu Xiuyuan. The situation in the border town is related to Yongning Bo, and the identity can make everyone obey orders. Only Yongning Bo, his wife who just passed the door not long ago, is left.
The identity of Princess Shen Jin is not very useful, but the identity of Mrs. Yongning Bo is enough.
"I will send someone to protect Madam," Wang Butler said.
Shen Jin moved his lips. If protection is really useful, then how could Chu Xiuyuan be hurt so badly? Looking at Shen Jin's eyes, Steward Wang felt a little guilty. Thinking of their attitude towards Shen Jin, he softened his attitude and said , "And there is no need for Madam to actually go to the battlefield, it is just a symbol."
"I see." Shen Jin swallowed before saying, "I know what you mean."
"Send sister-in-law away." Chu Xiuyuan said, "This is a man's business."
Shen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan. At this time, she was very sober. If Chu Xiuyuan could move, they would never let her come. If she fainted in front of everyone, it would be a fatal blow. It is not impossible Yes, the sharpest weapon Shen Jin has ever held in his life may be scissors.
Butler Wang said, "Madam, as long as you stay until the general returns."
Shen Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me one request."
"Sister-in-law..." Chu Xiuyuan's face was full of shame. He led his troops out of the city and wanted to sneak attack the enemy, but he was discovered. The surrounding guards tried their best to rescue him, but he was shot not only in the shoulder and abdomen, but also in the leg. They were all injured and couldn't move at all. He knew that someone from the Chu family had to stand up, and he had been doing a good job... Otherwise, the border city would not have survived until now.
But now, Chu Xiuyuan was seriously injured and never cried before, but now his eyes were red, "Sister-in-law, just say it."
"It doesn't matter whether I live or die after this incident. Uncle Yongning will seal my birth mother." Shen Jin is afraid of death, very afraid, and even more afraid that her mother will have a difficult life after her death. If she died, the mother would have no hope at all, "and try to find a way to raise a concubine under my birth mother's name."
If such a request was made in normal times, Steward Wang would definitely suspect that Shen Jin has ulterior motives, but now he has no intention of stopping it, Chu Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will promise you on my brother's behalf."
Shen Jin nodded, "Take care of your injuries." After speaking, he looked at Steward Wang, "Just tell me what you need me to do."
Director Wang nodded, and talked to Shen Jin about the specific situation of the border town. Shen Jin didn't know about it at the beginning, but now that he knew it, he became more generous. After finding out, there are all kinds of materials, but Shen Jin's dowry fabrics are mostly silk and satin, which are really useless in the current environment, but those spices were taken away by Manager Wang.
In fact, what Shen Jin has to do is not difficult, just stand up and lead troops to fight against the enemy. It is really not her turn to do these things. Naturally, there are advisers like Director Wang, but Shen Jin still wrote a few letters and sent them out. Some were sent to King Rui in the capital, and there were memorials in the name of the princess to talk about the situation in the border town...
These are all requested by Director Wang. All Shen Jin needs to do is to copy it and stamp it with the seal of the princess.
After all, the princess is also a relative of the emperor, which is different from the family who was later knighted.
If given the chance to choose, Shen Jin would never stand up. Because of the situation in Prince Rui's Mansion, Shen Jin has developed a temperament of not fighting or grabbing and being easy to be satisfied since she was a child, but today, she has no choice but to stand up.
At this moment, Shen Jin really realized the prestige of Yongningbo. Only with the identity of Mrs. Yongningbo, all the soldiers and common people in the border town respect her very much, and they will carry out every decision of her meaninglessly. is to die...
Responsibility? Shen Jin didn't know, she just told her what Director Wang asked her to recite, and the orders were carried out one after another. Now the city guards are not all soldiers, there are also many civilians, all the men have taken up arms, All the women spontaneously began to take care of the wounded, and they took out the food stored at home and provided it to those who needed to fight.
The old man and the young child made a fire to cook, and the young woman carried the injured person to the back. There seemed to be no distinction between men and women here. If Anping hadn't been supporting her, Shen Jin wouldn't be able to stand at all. The vague wounds, the piled up corpses, and the tread on the soles of the feet were all stained red with blood.
Manager Wang didn't make things difficult for Shen Jin, at least he didn't ask Shen Jin to stand on the city wall. Shen Jin was wearing a horse riding uniform and her face was pale. Anping even suspected that she would faint in the next moment.
But Shen Jin persisted, the battle became more and more tense, the barbarians seemed to have received some news, and they attacked more violently.
The barbarians carried soil bags on wooden donkeys to build the weirway, and rammed the city walls with ramming carts...
In order to stop the barbarians, the only remaining cavalry in the border town attacked again and again, and even at the end there were no cavalry. Those men who could ride horses knew that they were going to die, so they took the initiative to lead the horses at home, silently formed a team and rushed out. We all know that this is mortal, but we can't let the barbarians break through the city wall, and we can't let the barbarians build fish beam roads. Behind this city wall are their parents, their wives, their children...
When the bows and arrows in the border town were used up, they used rocks to attack back and forth. There were many spikes on the rolling logs, and they crushed the enemy soldiers into meatloaf. Then use the potter's wheel to pull back to the city.
The log is very powerful and useful, but it is almost used up, and there is very little left that can be used. Even if it is reinstalled, it is too late to get so many spikes on it.
People who have not experienced it will not really understand the cruelty of war.
