After Zhang Jingming petitioned for an envoy, Zeng Bu also thought about it for a while. After that, he began to ask Zhang Jingming about his confidence in this matter, and whether he was sure that he would be able to convince the king of Champang.

Zhang Jingming naturally wouldn't pat his chest to guarantee, he only said that the probability was half and half.

Although he was talking nonsense, Zeng Bu still wanted Zhang Jingming to try it. So after the court meeting the next day, Zeng Bu went to see Zhao Xu, explained his calculations, and told Zhao Xu that someone was willing to go to occupy the city, Zhao Xu thought about it and agreed.

Then the Ministry of Rites began to prepare gifts for the king of Champong, and at the same time, it was also necessary to train Zhang Jingming, who had no experience in envoys, so that he could know some basic etiquette, at least not to lose the face of the Great Song Dynasty when he went out.

Soon the time came to April, and there were still almost seven days before Zhao Xu's experiment ended.

There are still seven days left, but the effect is already very noticeable. Soldiers who drank raw water had diarrhea in ten cases, but soldiers who boiled water before drinking it rarely did.

Going to Jiaozhi was already a sure thing, Zhao Xu followed Tang Ning's advice and specially convened a team of doctors.

Led by the elderly and experienced imperial physicians in the palace, and composed of some doctors summoned from all over the country, a group of about 50 medical officers entered the Zhenjiang Army's garrison three days ago to familiarize themselves with life in the army in advance.

And five days ago, Zhang Jingming had already set off to occupy the city. With two carts of gifts and twenty retinues, he set off by water.

On the day of departure, Tang Ning also went to see it off in person, and the two chatted a few words about the mission, although Zhang Jingming said half and half, but Tang Ning still saw full confidence from this familiar old friend.

For the next two days, Downing did nothing. I only stayed at home and chatted and played with my wife and children.

Two days later, there were only five days left before departure. Downing had to leave his home and enter the barracks.

Wang Shi had already prepared her clothes and put them in her baggage. There are summer wear, autumn and winter wear, and a few pairs of boots, which are very well prepared.

Tang Ning had two copies of each, and Qi Fu was much simpler, only one was prepared.

Xiao Shi and Fang La's clothes, Wang Shi also prepared a copy each. Although Tang Ning said that the two of them usually like to wear clothes issued in the army, Wang Shi still insisted on preparing to come out.

In her eyes, Qi Fu, Xiaoshi and Fang La are all family members, and when they set off for the northwest before, the clothes and boots of the three of them were also prepared by Wang Shi.

Tang Ning was deeply moved, hugged Wang Shi before leaving, and said with emotion: "I can marry you home in this life, it should be all my luck." ”

"You can't say that." Wang Shi hurriedly covered Tang Ning's mouth: "You still have to use luck to survive the battlefield, the concubine can marry you, only to use up the luck of the concubine." ”

Tang Ning looked at Wang Shi and felt that the gentleness of the woman was the most unbearable.

Then hug each other

Hugging his child, Tang Liang and Tang Wen are very yearning for Tang Ning's majestic outfit, especially Tang Wen, and said that he will become a general like his father in the future.

When Tang Yu arrived, when Tang Ning squatted down and kissed her several cheeks and was about to get up to leave, this child, who usually doesn't like to talk and is not good at expressing himself, grabbed Tang Ning's sleeve and whispered, "Is Daddy going to leave again?" ”

In a word, Tang Ning's nose was sour.

Seeing that Tang Ning didn't speak, Tang Yu said again: "When will Daddy come back this time?" Can't you go without leaving? ”

"Sister, Daddy is a general, and it's a matter of course to go out and fight bad guys!" Tang Wen said loudly.

"But......" After Tang Yu heard what Tang Wen said, he whispered these two words. Then she hung her head and was silent, but the hand that grabbed Tang Ning's sleeve was reluctant to let go.

The four wives who were watching from the side also had red eyes.

Squatted down and hugged the girl tightly, eager to rub the child into his body, but he didn't dare to use force, so he kissed the girl's face several times to express his love.

After making her face full of saliva, she put her daughter on her forehead and said: "Daddy has something to do, and he can't be by your side, and Daddy is also very sad in his heart."

You know, Daddy's favorite thing is you. If he could, Daddy just wanted to watch you grow up and nothing else.

But no, it's a big, big world. Didn't Daddy tell you before, the big and prosperous city of Tokyo in our eyes is just a small speck of dust from the perspective of this world.

Our vast territory of the Great Song Dynasty only occupies a very small part of the land in this world.

But even so, there are still many people who bully us for various reasons.

If left unchecked, our compatriots will be bullied by them and killed by them. They may even come to Tokyo City and bully you.

Daddy won't allow this kind of thing to happen, and whoever wants to bully Daddy's favorite Yu'er has to knock Daddy down first.

So Daddy had to do this, in order to prevent them from bullying Daddy's favorite Yu'er, Daddy had to break their hands and feet before they could bully Yu'er. ”

Tang Ning said, cupped his daughter's little face, and said apologetically: "This is what Daddy must do as a father, and it is also an obligation that Daddy must fulfill as a courtier of an official family."

There is one more thing that Daddy has to do, and when these few things are done, Daddy will not do anything, and accompany Yu'er at home every day, okay? ”

"Really?" Tang Yu asked in a low voice.

"Really." Tang Ning nodded firmly.

Just when the corners of Tang Yu's mouth were slightly hooked, Tang Wen said aggrievedly: "Daddy, don't you like me?" ”

“…… Like like, you are all daddy's children, how can daddy not

Like you guys? ”

"Then why didn't you mention me just now, but kept saying how much you like Auntie! You are not fair! ”

When Liu Yi'er heard this, her two eyebrows stood up. Tang Wen, who felt the ominous aura, was startled by his angry mother-in-law, and hurriedly hid behind Tang Ning.

Liu Yi'er walked over angrily, scolding Tang Wen for not being big or small, and at the same time reaching out to grab Tang Wen.

Tang Ning couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly stopped Liu Yi'er. After whispering a few words in her ear, she simply sat on the ground, stretched out his hand to hug Tang Wen, who was cowering, and beckoned to Tang Liang again, signaling him to come over.

Tang Liang blinked, and walked over obediently.

Then, Tang Ning asked, "I'm afraid you both have the same question in your hearts, that is, why do I like your sister a little more, right?" ”

Tang Liang was a little precocious, and he showed a considerable degree of vigilance against this kind of problem, and remained quiet.

But Tang Wen nodded very dryly, and hummed heavily.

Liu Yi'er directly buried her head in Wang Shi's arms, and said aggrievedly: "Why is this kid like this, I obviously didn't teach him like this!" ”

Wang Shi said with a smile: "The children have grown up and read more books, so they naturally have their own ideas." But leave this matter to the husband, he is indeed better than us with children. ”

"......" A deep sense of frustration filled Liu Yier's chest.

"And what do you think is the reason?" Tang Ning asked with a smile, and then waved his hand quietly, signaling the people around him to disperse.

"Because my sister is a girl! I'm a boy! ”

"That's right." Tang Ning nodded and said, "It's because my sister is a girl and you two are boys that my father likes my sister a little more."

Actually, I can't say I like it. You two have to remember that for some reason, girls are inherently more fragile than us boys.

They are physically and physically, they are naturally inferior to us boys.

So as boys, it's our duty to protect girls. ”

Tang Ning paused for a moment, Wang Shi had already returned to the hall with his family, and he could clearly see Tang Wen staring at Tang Yu.

Then he laughed, pulled Tang Wen and Tang Liang to his side, and whispered, "Let's talk about something between men next!"

You may sometimes complain, why does Daddy force you two to exercise? In fact, Daddy hopes that the two of you can protect your sister, and even your mother-in-law and aunt when they are in danger.

When Daddy is at home, this matter is naturally left to Daddy. But what about when Daddy isn't home? Every time Daddy goes out, he is very worried.

And if you two can reassure Daddy, that's great! ”
