Chapter 294 Departure to Northland
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by bursts of laughter, and King Ding's proud laughter sounded from the door of the palace:
"Hahaha, go and take the three fishes I caught to the kitchen to cook, and leave one fish alone for the old Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
It was King Ding who had a fishing competition with the old prince who came back.
King Ding has been in a good mood recently, and he and Lao Guoyue go fishing every day in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.
Qin Wan felt a little sorry for her grandfather when she saw her grandfather being so happy and thought about the possibility that Beixiang would go to war with Dayue.
After finally resting for a while, something happened again in Beixiang.
Although Beixiang has not yet officially started a war with Dayue, since Dayue has received the news, they must first let the Qin family army in the border town make preparations.
Qin Wan stood up and greeted the cheerful King Ding.
"Wanwan, my grandfather beat the old man in fishing today. I will cook fish for you to eat at noon today."
King Ding was still talking about fishing with great interest.
Qin Wan wanted to laugh but couldn't.
When King Ding saw it, the smile disappeared from his face:
"Wanwan, what's going on? Who bullied you?"
"Grandpa, come with me. I have something very important to tell you."
Grandfather and grandson arrived in the front hall.
Zhang Chuan stood up and saluted:
"The common people pay their respects to the prince."
King Ding recognized Zhang Chuan as his son's brother and the godfather of his sweet grandson Jingnian, and stepped forward to help him up.
"We are all family members, so there is no need to be so polite. Did you arrive in the capital today?"
"Yes, Cao Min has just returned from Beixiang. This time he returns to Beijing and has something very important to tell the prince."
Prince Ding picked up the tea cup and glanced at Qin Wan while drinking tea.
Qin Wan nodded slightly, indicating that what Zhang Chuan wanted to say was that very important matter.
King Ding put down his tea cup and realized that what Zhang Chuan was about to say might not be simple.
Zhang Chuan Su Jingze and Su Jiajia's true identity, Qin Minan had already told King Ding.
King Ding knew the origin of Zhang Chuan, and what he was going to say must be related to Beixiang.
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the common people have received news that Beixiang may go to war with Dayue."
King Ding narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhang Chuan for a moment:
"Where did this news come from? Is it true?"
Zhang Chuan told Qin Wan what he had said before.
And Qin Wan also expressed his speculation that the Beixiang wizard and the Dayue Imperial Master were from the Immortality Cult.
King Ding may be suspicious of Zhang Chuan's words, but King Ding believes his granddaughter's words.
What's more, they did speculate that the Immortality Cult had not only invaded Da Yue, but also invaded other countries.
The Immortality Sect, an ambitious cult, has been planning for decades, and not only wants to conquer Dayue's empire.
He also wanted to plot Beixiang's empire.
In other words, Beixiang's country has been plotted by them.
King Ding stood up and said, "This matter is no small matter. I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor."
Qin Wan quickly grabbed Prince Ding.
"Grandpa, our emperor has such a brain, can he believe what you say?
What's more, the identity of Uncle Zhang and the others cannot be known to the emperor. "
Zhang Chuan also looked at King Ding nervously.
Prince Ding smiled and patted Qin Wan on the shoulder.
"Grandpa knows that he will not reveal your uncle Zhang's identity.
But since Beixiang has plans to attack Dayue, Dayue must prepare early.
My grandfather went to the palace and asked the emperor to allow him to go to the North in the name of rewarding the army officers in the New Year. "
Seeing that his granddaughter was still a little worried, King Ding added:
"In previous years, there was a precedent of rewarding army generals in the New Year, so there is no need to worry about arousing suspicion."
After saying this, King Ding entered the palace in a hurry.
After Qin Wan sent Zhang Chuan away, she also entered the system space to tell her family the news.
Qin Min'an and Qin Jingnian immediately stated that they would exterminate the people of this wave of Shengsheng as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Not getting a reply from Chen Yunzhi, Qin Wan specially sent a message to Chen Yunzhi alone:
"Mom, where are you now?"
It took about half a stick of incense to wait for Chen Yunzhi's reply.
"Wanwan, Mom is in Luoyang Mansion. She was discussing business with the local grain merchant just now. Mom has heard everything you said.
Luoyang Mansion is a major grain-producing place in Dayue. It is just a good time for my mother to buy more grain and store it up during this visit.
Otherwise, once Beixiang and Dayue go to war, those profiteers who are struggling to make money for the country will take the opportunity to hoard food and raise the price of food. "
"Mom is right, stock up more and put it all in the space. Anyway, the space is large.
Before the troops and horses move, food and fodder go first. We have to guard against the fact that the court will not be able to provide food and fodder after the war begins and delay the war. "
"Mom knows."
King Ding went to the palace and successfully obtained the emperor's permission to go to the north to reward the lieutenants of the army.
In the evening, Prince Ding Qin Jingrui and Qin Wan gathered in Prince Ding's study.
"Jing Rui, Wanwan, my grandfather will leave for the Northland in the day after tomorrow, so the affairs in the palace will trouble you two.
Your grandmother is old and suffered so much when she was young. You two should help her more in everything. "
Qin Wan glanced at her eldest brother and expressed her thoughts: "Grandpa, I will go to the North with you."
Before King Ding could refute, Qin Jingrui continued:
"Grandpa, leave the matters in the palace to your grandson and let Wanwan go to the North with you. Grandma and I will feel more at ease."
Seeing what King Ding wanted to say, Qin Wan had no choice but to reveal her true purpose of going to the North.
"Grandpa, the main reason I went to the North this time was to find out whether the Beixiang royal family was really controlled by the Immortality Cult.
If it is true, the person behind it must be related to Grand Master Dayue.
In this way, we can follow the clues to find the national master and eradicate him.
Only in this way can the Immortality Cult be completely eradicated, and we can truly sit back and relax in the future. "
When King Ding heard this, he said nothing more.
It is the wish of all of them to completely eradicate the Immortality Sect.
Not many people knew that King Ding and Qin Wan were going to the north. On the early morning of the third day, the grandfather and grandson quietly left the capital in a carriage.
We left together with Zhang Chuan.
Qin Wan wanted to go to Beixiang to inquire about the situation, and Zhang Chuan, who grew up in Beixiang, was indispensable.
Su Jingze originally wanted to go, but now that the situation in Beixiang is uncertain, he would be in danger if he went.
Zhang Chuan promised to take Su Jingze and Su Jiajia back to Beixiang when the situation in Beixiang stabilized.
Not long after they left the capital, Qin Minan, Qin Jingnian and his son, who had gone out to exterminate the minions of the Changsheng Sect, also returned to the capital.
After Qin Jingnian handed over all the remaining manuscripts of The Condor to Chen Li, he said to Qin Min'an:
"Dad, I will go after my grandfather and my sister, and I will leave the capital to you and my eldest brother."
"Be careful on the road and protect your grandfather and sister."
"I know Dad."
Although Qin Wan and his grandson had to set off a few days earlier, Qin Jingnian had the power of speed and caught up with them in the afternoon of the third day.
"Grandpa, Wanwan!"
Qin Wan was listening to King Ding's troop formation plan for the Qin family's army in King Ding's carriage when he heard a familiar shout outside.
When he opened the car window, he saw Qin Jingnian riding a horse and waving to him happily.
"elder brother!"
King Ding's team stopped and Qin Jingnian got on the carriage.
Although King Ding was surprised that Qin Jingnian came over, he was still very happy.
Jingnian was interested in fighting, and King Ding also hoped to pass on all his war experience to him during his lifetime.
"Jing's new year is just in time. Grandpa is telling Wanwan about the formation of the Qin family's army in the north. You should also come and listen."
