Chapter 12: Memories
At the city gate, a middle-aged sergeant was tilting his head to talk to two young sergeants, he was wearing tiger armor, wearing a three-foot long sword at his waist, wearing a golden crown, and a short beard and square face. ”
"Feng Yi boy, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, so you even want to stop me?" Cheng Xiuwen laughed slowly, and then dismounted sideways, chasing the wind as if he didn't like the breath here, and shook his head and snorted.
The sergeant's body was shocked, and he hurriedly fixed his eyes, and the face of the man who spoke was very familiar, so he ran to the front in a few steps, looked again, and then said excitedly: "Third general, it's really you, are you finally back!"
"It's just that he passed by Qinglong, sent his son to Nanjiang Academy to enroll, and then returned to Rock City. Cheng Xiuwen was very happy to meet the deceased, and the original depression was swept away, he patted the armor of the middle-aged sergeant, and said with emotion: "You have risen very fast, and you are the deputy general on the edge of the town." ”
The sergeant hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's all up to the three generals to teach at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have known which mountain I was buried on." ”
"Xiaoxi, come down and meet your Uncle Feng. Cheng Xiuwen and Feng Yi talked for a while, and Xiaoxi also got out of the car to greet him.
"I didn't expect the little boy to be so old, but this looks as powerful as you, the general......" The two stood on the side of the carriage and talked, and the soldiers around them also looked at this.
"Xiuwen, it's time for us to go into the city, and it's not too late to talk when we get back. Qin Rou waited impatiently in the carriage and urged.
"Third lady!" the sergeant did not expect that there was still someone in the carriage, guessed the identity, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
Qin Rou flicked the window of the car and nodded slightly, Cheng Xiuwen said a few more words to Feng Yi, and then drove the carriage to the city.
Growing up in the mountains, where have I ever seen such a huge city, my eyes widened, and I kept looking around.
I saw that Qinglong City is a four-sided layout, the city tower is adjacent to the Tuojiang River in the west, and the Ao Mountain is in the east, the geographical location is unique, here is stationed the 100,000 soldiers of the "Southern Army" of the God-killing Army, countless grain and grass are hoarded here, and the north-south artery is guarded, because it is a border city, so the buildings in the city are mostly simple and rough, there are only a few beautifully carved houses, I am afraid that it is also a person with extremely noble status to live.
Although the architectural style of Qinglong City is simple, this does not affect its majesty at all, but gives people a simple and atmospheric feeling, and there are inns and restaurants in the city, tailors and iron shops.
Due to the extremely important geographical location, and the situation between the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang has gradually become tense in recent years, and it is uncertain when there will be a big war, so ordinary people have already moved into the interior of the Central Plains, and many houses in the city are empty.
Occasionally, merchants and travelers come and go here, but they are all passing by in a hurry and dare not stay for a long time, and only the god-killing army lives here all year round, accompanying this lonely city, blooming their simple and brilliant life.
When they arrived at the inn, Chasing Feng followed the man to the stable, and the three of them asked for two upper rooms, ordered a few meals, and went into the room.
Xiaoxi was already exhausted, and after a few days of driving and horsemanship, and his spirit was not very good, and after eating, he went back to his room.
After his son left, Cheng Xiuwen took off his cloak, flicked the ash on his clothes, and whispered to Qin Rou, "How can you say those things in the carriage, if Xiaoxi knows, how can I be embarrassed." ”
Some doubts about whether her ears were wrong, Qin Rou couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said, "Cheng Xiuwen, when you tricked me into going to the Central Plains, why didn't you find that you were so thin-skinned?"
Cheng Xiuwen was speechless for a while, and said "uh", he really didn't know how to refute, and the atmosphere in the room was a little delicate for a while.
After another moment, Qin Rou still didn't withdraw her gaze, still staring at her husband.
This made Cheng Xiuwen even more embarrassed, he knew that if he let his wife play, he was afraid that he would not be able to do well today, so he hurriedly opened the topic and said: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, then you must tell me why Xiaoxi must go to Nanjiang Academy to practice." ”
"Wuling Academy is indeed very good, but the students taught are all masters and extremes, you have let me see enough over the years, I don't want Xiaoxi to be like you in the future, think about it, or my Nanjiang Academy is more suitable for Xiaoxi to practice. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Rou came to the window, paused for a while and said: "Besides, I have been gone for so many years, my father and mother are afraid that they will miss it very much, Xiaoxi can accompany them more when he practices here, and with them taking care of Xiaoxi, I can go to the rock with peace of mind." ”
"But Nanjiang is too cowardly, don't you see the annual tribute being transported to Rock City one by one, and the Southern Xinjiang Academy is standing tall in the world, but it only teaches students to overcome rigidity with softness?" Cheng Xiuwen was a little dissatisfied with Qin Rou's evaluation of Wuling Academy, and tried his best to find a reason to refute it.
Some people may be born extremely good at dying, and one wave is not settled, and another wave rises.
Qin Rou glared at Cheng Xiuwen angrily, her chest rose and fell, she gritted her teeth, she couldn't tear the broken mouth in front of her, it took a long time to suppress it, and scolded: "You are the first in the world in the emperor's palace! I don't fight with you, I just hope that my son can be safe and sound, even if he does nothing in southern Xinjiang, it is better than being poisoned in the Central Plains." Besides, if you and I go back to the rock this time, let's not talk about whether we can save the family, I'm afraid that neither of us can leave safely, how can you tell me to let my son go to the Wuling Temple to die?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiuwen instantly fell silent, Wuling Academy is indeed very good, but it is not suitable for Xiaoxi, the reason is still in his husband and wife!
In the past few decades, the Cheng family has been in charge of the power of the God Eater Army, and has conquered the south and the north several times, making great contributions to the prosperity of Rock City, but behind this countless glory, there is also great sorrow.
Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless, and so have the Holy Venerables!
In the eyes of outsiders, the supreme and glorious leadership status is just a weapon in the hands of the Holy Venerable.
Since ancient times, the king has been loyal to the king, and there seems to be nothing wrong with this.
It's just that this weapon is not the only one!
Cheng Xiuwen brothers, the eldest brother Cheng Zhiyuan led the order to go to the north, but unexpectedly encountered a night attack by enemy soldiers, fire rain poisonous arrows fell from the sky, Cheng Zhiyuan struggled to resist and was still hit by two arrows, thanks to the guards desperately rescued and killed the enemy soldiers, but the military doctor came a step too late, Cheng Zhiyuan was deeply poisoned, his lower body was wasted, and he could only spend it on the bed after that. After returning to Rock City, the sister-in-law took care of her husband with tears and tears, and only their stupid son was still happy.
Soon after the eldest brother returned from the Northland, the Holy Venerable gave the Divine Devouring Army Marshal to the second brother, Cheng Pingwu, who was just an adult at that time.
The second brother has been gifted and has an amazing memory since he was a child, practicing at the age of five, channeling at the age of seven, and being able to memorize the art of war at the age of ten. is such a smart and talented person, in the subsequent battle of the south, he fell for the strategy of the veteran Qin Zhongtian in southern Xinjiang. He led his troops into a poisonous miasma, 20,000 horses and horses did not survive, and on the day the body was transported back to Rock City, the old father passed out directly.
Now that this Nuo is a big family, only he is still fine.
The old father thought that the family would be able to make a comeback, and the third son would regain the power of the god-killing army to support this fragmented family, but where did he think that the youngest son also had an accident......
After all these catastrophes, the old father seems to have seen through it thoroughly, let go of those ambitions, no longer care about the matter of the god-killing army, stay at home, sit at home in a daze all day long, he is really old!
After getting married, it has finally declined, and it will no longer be as glorious as when his father was in charge of the army.
When I learned that I had a secret love affair with the daughter of the Qin family in southern Xinjiang, everyone in the family strongly objected, and the sister-in-law even poisoned the soup and wine, causing Qin Rou to almost die, and the child in Qin Rou's belly was about to be born at that time.
At that time, I was crazy, looking for doctors and medicines everywhere, and the methods were exhausted, and I finally rescued my wife, but the mother and son were one, and then the child born by Qin Rou also showed signs of poisoning.
At that time, I didn't know how I survived, not to mention the pressure and coercion of everyone, but also tried my best to extend the life of my newborn son!
Perhaps God really has the virtue of a good life, Cheng Xiuwen finally got the mercy of the master, and taught a few words in private, and then the husband and wife fled to Longquan Mountain to live, and fed their son every day to raise spiritual medicine and feed their son, waiting for the toxicity in Xiaoxi's body to slowly fade......
