Thirty miles outside Shengjing City, the DPRK and China have set up a new camp for 50,000 new troops in the northwest. The Northwest Army is a foreign army, and it needs to be stationed in the new camp, and the generals can only enter Beijing and enter the DPRK after being called.

Luan Jia and the envoys of the two countries entered the city first, and Yuan Rui followed Luan Jia into the city.

Yuan Rui has been unconscious after being poisoned by Wu Zheng, the general of the Qingzhou Army, in the underground palace, Yuan Xiu returned to the dynasty and brought Yuan Rui back, and the person who took care of him on the road was Qi He. Most of the generals of the Northwest Army are still at the border pass, Wu Laozheng was ordered to supervise the matter of distilled water and normal saline, and he can't do without the border pass, Qi He helped Yuan Rui all the way to hang his life, I don't know if Qi He's medical skills are brilliant or Yuan Rui's life should not be extinguished, thousands of miles of bumps, Sheng Jing really left a breath when he was in sight.

As soon as the holy driver and the envoy group entered the city, the people of the Yuan family followed and took Yuan Rui.

When Luan drove into the city, the Yuan family had two Chinese cars parked behind the city gate, one took Yuan Rui back to Xiangguo's mansion, and the other went out of the city gate and went straight to the new army camp thirty miles away.

It was already evening outside the barracks, and an old man came down from the carriage, with a white face and a green beard, a round-necked green brocade robe, and a thick brocade robe with deep ochre, and handed the post to the young general guarding the camp.

The chief manager asked to see Yuan Xiu, and the young general took the name card into the account to report, and came out after a while, leading the old manager into the big tent of the Chinese army.

There is only one person in the tent, Yuan Xiu, who is not wearing a battle robe, only wearing a regular uniform, a black crown and ink robe, and his air is magnificent.

The old housekeeper of Xiangguo Mansion entered the big tent, and when he saw Yuan Xiu, his eyes were red, and he knelt down tremblingly and said, "Son! General! The old slave has given you a salute! ”

"Tauber!" Yuan Xiu strode over, helped the person up, and patted the old man's hand, excited beyond words.

"It's been ten years, childe...... Childe was still a teenager when he left, but now he is a hero. ”

"Tauber is also old."

The master and servant looked at each other with emotion, and Tao Bo wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "It is a blessing that the old slave can live and see his son again. ”

"What kind of depressing words, I see that your body is still healthy, let alone enjoy the blessing of another twenty or thirty years!" Yuan Xiu smiled and patted the old servant's shoulder.

"If the old slave lives for so long, he won't be an old demon?" Tao Bo wiped the corners of his eyes, amused by these words, and the sadness that he hadn't seen for many years was lightened, leaving only the warm emotion in his heart.

Childe has been gone for ten years, and he is still the same as at the beginning, and he treats his subordinates with all kinds of affinity.

After the master and servant talked about the past, Yuan Xiu asked, "Tao Bo is here, but what do you want to hand me at home?" ”

Tao Bo then said: "Yo, look at the memory of the old slave, it is really useless for old people." Mrs. Xiangye knows that you don't like to read letters, so I specially called the old slave to deliver a sentence, Ming'er is a good day, the son is still in armor and is sealed to the Golden Palace, and it is the New Year's Festival, and the night is a big banquet for hundreds of officials and Wuhu envoys, after retiring from the palace banquet, the son returns to the house with the prime minister, and the lady is waiting for the son to keep the New Year together! Over the years, the son has been at the border, and the lady has been looking at the border every year, and after looking forward to it for ten years, the son has finally come back, and the day when the son comes back is really auspicious, the lady said, this year will be a good time! ”

Yuan Xiu nodded, and there was only one word left in his mouth when a thousand words arrived, "Okay." ”

"Then the old slave will go back to the house!" Tauber was glad to respond, and hurried back.

"Don't worry, let the guy make a few Jiangnan dishes in the evening, and I'll talk to Tao Bo about it." Yuan Xiu grabbed him and insisted on keeping the meal.

"The old slave doesn't dare." The master is the master, the servant is the servant, even if he watches the son grow up since he was a child, the respect and humility must not be messed up, Tao Bo hurriedly thanked Yuan Xiu, and said, "It's getting dark, Mrs. Xiangye is still waiting for the old slave to reply, and the old slave doesn't dare to delay." Childe should rest early tonight, this military camp is thirty miles away from Beijing, tomorrow the big day, Childe will have to get up early in the morning. Don't hide it from the son, the people in Shengjing City know that tomorrow the prince will return to the court in armor, and the private room on the street of the restaurant teahouse was booked out a few days ago, and I heard that most of them were booked by the ladies of the official family in the court! Now the daughters who have not yet come out of the cabinet in Beijing are all thinking about their sons, looking forward to a heroic demeanor tomorrow! ”

This sound like a joke about Yuan Xiu, but it is really a reminder to him and ask him to have a bottom in his heart.

The son has already reached the age of marriage, but because of the delay in the war, the lady has been weighing the daughter of the sergeant clan for him all these years, just waiting for him to come back and pick a favorite.

The son is not the son of an ordinary family, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, the concubine of the Prime Minister's house, and the person who will ascend in the future, the lady of the main room will have to choose well.

As soon as Yuan Xiu heard this, his interest faded, and he sent Tao Bo away, feeling inexplicably depressed, so he asked the soldiers outside the tent: "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the general, it's time for dinner, and it's time for dinner in half an hour." Pro-soldier road.

As soon as Yuan Xiu heard that it was almost dinner time, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

Behind him, the soldier asked, "Where is the general?" ”

"Go to Ying Rui's and wait for dinner." Yuan Xiu left without looking back, leaving the soldier behind him to scratch his head.

The Ying Rui generals don't talk much, and the generals always like to go there, could it be that the food there is more fragrant?

Yuan Xiu went to the outside of the twilight tent, but heard that there were people in the tent.

Moon Kill, Han Qichu, Liu Heizi and Shi Dahai are all there, Liu Heizi is asking tomorrow when the Golden Palace will be sealed, what position can Du Qing be sealed, Han Qichu said: "It is also made to seal the Sanpin Town Army with the general's merits, but the general is young, and it is inevitable that he will not be sealed in the future. ”

"Huh?" Liu Heizi was originally happy, but this hearing was a little unfair for Du Qing, "The general is so capable, so he will seal a fourth grade?" ”

Han Qichu smiled and said, "Korean Chinese martial arts, the four products are already the mainstay. The official family of the sergeant clan is weak, and there is no one who is a four-grade officer. At the age of the general, the sons of the scholar clan have not yet come out, and the general has already lived in the fourth grade, which is a shocking precedent in our dynasty. ”

Shi Dahai said: "Mr. Han is polite, my family is older than me, how old is our general?" It's already very capable! ”

When Liu Heizi heard this, he felt that it made sense, and he rejoiced again.

Twilight Qing didn't talk much, she just listened and didn't interject, Han Qichu glanced at her, her smile was slightly deeper, as if she had something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it at the moment.

At this time, Twilight suddenly got up and walked out, saying, "I'll go and see the Cui family." ”

The Yang family was arranged next to the tent of Duqing, and there were no women in the army, but the Yang family was now in danger, and it was not good to enter Beijing with the holy car first, so Duqing asked Yuan Xiu to arrange this family next to his tent, and only stayed for one night and entered Beijing with her tomorrow. Yuan Xiunian and the Yang family were relatives of the martyrs of the Northwest Army, so he made a special exception, and only instructed the Yang family to stay in the account and not leave the account if there was nothing to do. Sheng Jing is cold, the two daughters of the Yang family are still young, and in the afternoon, Duqing has asked Liu Heizi to add two charcoal pots into the tent, and she brought them out, so she should be more concerned.

As soon as the curtain came out, Twilight Qing bumped into Yuan Xiu, who was afraid that she would say that he had long ears, so he took the first step and said, "In the future, the new army will be placed here, and I will take you to see the situation of this military camp." ”

Seeing that Yuan Xiu glanced aside and didn't dare to look at her, Twilight Qing knew in her heart and nodded, "Got it, wait." ”

She first went to the next tent to see the Yang family, and Yuan Xiu also followed up to take a look, and saw that the tent was warm and the family was not unwell, so the two went out of the tent together to inspect the new military camp.

Yue Kill followed not far behind, and when he saw Yuan Xiu taking Du Qing to see the military camp, and then taking her to the mountain, his face became more and more gloomy.

The mountain in the suburbs of Shengjing is not high, the new military camp is surrounded by mountains on both sides, there is a lake behind the mountain, in the middle of winter, the lake is covered with ice and snow, the sun sinks in the west, the red glow is a line, the sky cloud lake is snowy, the mountain is magnificent.

When Dusk Qing saw that the lake was as wide as a cloud river, stretching for ten miles, she knew in her heart the meaning of the new army camp built here.

Yuan Xiu sat down on the hillside, looking at the lake silently, and Dusk Qing also sat down and asked, "Hometown timidity?" ”

He took her out to inspect the new military camp, obviously to distract herself.

"Well, some." Yuan Xiu smiled, he hadn't returned home for ten years, and now he was thirty miles away from home, and when he saw the old housekeeper at home, he remembered his childhood, when Tao Bo was in the prime of life, and in a blink of an eye, the old man had already given birth to a flourishing life.

Auntie, daddy, are you old too?

At the border, he can take advantage of the war to be busy, not to miss home, now Shengjing is in sight, tomorrow to see his father and mother, only to know that the heart is like an arrow, only to know the hometown timidity.

Anxious and timid, I felt bored when I remembered Tao Bo's words when he left, and I didn't know how to solve them. The generals in the army are all rough men, if he says that he is cowardly in his hometown, he will be laughed at, but he feels that he is most comfortable by her side.

"I'm looking forward to coming tomorrow morning, and I can't wait to return to Beijing at this time." Twilight turned her head to look in Shengjing's direction.

The mountains cover the majestic imperial capital, and you can only see the withered branches and clouds of the snow forest burning the sky.

"Thinking of avenging your father?" Yuan Xiu frowned and asked, the revenge of killing her father is not shared, he understands her feelings, but this case is confusing, to investigate her father-killing enemy, first to investigate Concubine Liu, Concubine Liu's death seems to be related to her aunt, he only hopes that the person who killed her father with a cup of poisoned wine will not be her aunt, "This case involves royal officials, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to investigate, so I returned to Shengjing...... I'll help you! ”

Twilight nodded, and the two didn't speak again, just looked side by side at the lake and mountains, the red glow shone on the snow, and when the sun set over the mountain, the sky darkened and went down the mountain.

Yuan Xiu had dinner in the twilight tent, and tomorrow he would return to the court, and the fourth watch would get up, and after dinner, Yuan Xiu would go back to the big tent to rest.

But this night was destined to be a sleepless night, Twilight couldn't sleep, and went out of the tent in the middle of the night.

In June, her father passed away, and at the end of this year, half a year later, she finally arrived in Shengjing.

Twilight was dressed in a big coat and looked at Shengjing City, but saw someone coming in front of her.

Torches were raised in the barracks, the fire was like stars, and the people who came were dressed in captain's robes, handsome in appearance, like a sword, and sharp and cutting people.

Twilight was slightly stunned, she hadn't seen her for months, and the proud and frizzy boy who was in the army really looked like a general.

Since Twilight Qing went to the desert, he and Zhang Tong have not seen each other again, they are clearly in the same military camp, but they are busy with their own affairs, they bumped into each other tonight, Zhang Tong was stunned at the same time, and only looked at Twilight Qing deeply, until a team of recruits followed behind him gave Twilight Qing a salute, he reacted, frowned and said: "It's cold in the middle of the night, don't stay in the tent, what kind of cold wind does it blow out?" Tomorrow is still sealed, so excited that I can't sleep? ”

I haven't seen her for months, and I can't change my problem when I see her again.

Twilight Qing glanced at the soldiers behind Zhang Tong and said, "You are leading people to patrol the camp tonight?" ”

When the new army first arrived in the northwest, Zhang Tong was still a commander, and he led 100 soldiers under his command, and now he has been promoted to lieutenant, leading 2,500 soldiers. The lieutenant didn't need to patrol the camp at night, but he still did what these low-ranking generals in the army did.

Although I haven't seen each other these days, Han Qichu has talked about Zhang Tong with Dusk Qing.

During her days in the underground palace, the Northwest Army and Wuhu continued to fight, the new army participated in the war on a small scale, Zhang Tong followed the old bear to lure the enemy in the periphery, and helped the army to win several battles, because of the courage of the battle, Yuan Xiu came back to encircle and suppress the Di Department, and ordered him to lead a small new army to intercept the Di army that was in turmoil in Una, Zhang Tong killed the general of the Di army, made military merits, and came back and was promoted to lieutenant.

"How's your injury?" Twilight Qing asked, I heard that Zhang Tong had been stabbed twice in the abdomen and back, and one body was bloody to lure Hu Ren into the encirclement, and it was in that battle that he achieved the reputation of bravery.

"It's just a knife wound, it's okay if you don't die! You think like you, you can still be sick for days. Zhang Tong smiled arrogantly, seizing the opportunity to squeeze Twilight again.

Twilight didn't reply, the two looked at each other, and both smiled after a while.

I haven't seen each other for months, and they are busy, but they are all inquiring about each other's news, and the comradeship between the soldiers and the same account and the same table will not fade with time after all.

"Don't blow the wind outside the tent, if the wind is cold, you won't be able to go to court tomorrow. I still have to patrol the camp, so I'll go first. Zhang Tongdao led the people forward, and did not look back all the way.

Those who will enter Beijing tomorrow are all high-ranking generals in the army, and the generals and subordinates are all waiting for the holy decree in the camp, and there is no need to enter the court. He couldn't go into the city with her, and he couldn't see her in armor anymore. In fact, he didn't want to see it very much, he hoped that the person in armor and was sealed was him, but this day had not yet come for him, so he would rather stay in the barracks and do what he had to do. He doesn't mind being promoted to lieutenant and leading troops to patrol the camp, and in the future, when he is promoted to marquis or general, he will still lead troops to patrol the camp. He is the low-level general who wants to do it, eat and sleep with the soldiers, and bring out a group of brothers in life and death.

In this life, he is inferior to her in terms of great talent, and in terms of official position, as long as her identity is not revealed, he may always be under her. But the day when her woman's identity is in the daylight, he can't calculate whether it is near or far, if it is close, his martial arts position is still low, it is difficult to lead the troops to save her, at least some soldiers who are willing to live and die with him to save people with him.

Twilight Qing looked at Zhang Tong's back, and could see that his heart had calmed down a lot over the past few months. In fact, in terms of generals, she is not as good as Zhang Tong, and she has never even read the military book. The most unprofessional military general in this dynasty is her, who is in the military camp, with revenge in her heart, leading the general's fortune and doing the same thing.

When her father's revenge is avenged, she will finally take off this robe.

When Zhang Tong's figure disappeared, Du Qing returned to the tent, and just about to rest, Han Qichu came again.

Looking at Han Qichu who came into the tent, Du Qing said, "It seems that I can't sleep tonight." ”

Han Qichu said: "There is one thing that is inconvenient to talk about during the day, so I have to come to see the general at night, if I don't say it, I really can't sleep." ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Twilight Qing doesn't like to go around the corner, and she doesn't be polite with Han Qichu, so she can talk to him if he has something to say.

"The general will inspect the terrain of the new military camp with the general in the evening, how do you see?" Han Qichu asked with a smile.

Twilight understood when she heard it, "Sir is talking about the water master. ”

Han Qichu was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect Du Qing to be able to see it, his eyes lit up, and he sighed: "The general is smart." The general returned to the court, but did not bring the old army but brought the new army, the new army camp was behind the lake, the lake stretched for ten miles, the new army came from the south of the Yangtze River, and this move by the DPRK and China must have a deep meaning. According to the humble opinion, if it is cold today, the snow will melt in the coming year, and the water division will be set up in the middle of the court! ”

Twilight Qing bowed his head, this matter was expected by Bu Xihuan, Han Qichu was not in the court, but he could see things at a glance, this person really has the talent of a strategist.

"The general is not good at water warfare, if the DPRK and China set up a water division, they must find another water division governor, this is a good opportunity, and the general must not miss it." Han Qichu said.

In the evening, what he said in the tent was not the main meaning, the Golden Palace was sealed, the three and four grades were fine, and the governor of the water division was what the general should do. Not to mention the south of the Yangtze River, there are three foreign armies in the north of the Jiangbei, and the military power is in the hands of the scholar clan, no matter how handsome the general is, it is impossible to seek the position of the commander of the three armies, only to find another way, and what the general can seek is the water division.

There are naval divisions in the south of the Yangtze River, three foreign armies in the north of the Yangtze River, and the newly built naval divisions in the DPRK and China belong to one of them. It should be prepared for a war with Jiangnan. There are 200,000 sailors in the south of the Yangtze River and 50,000 in the north of the Yangtze River, and the DPRK and China will definitely expand the sailors.

"I have the same intention." Twilight Qingdao, power is a sword to help her find out the murderer and take revenge, and she will not let go.

"Good! The general has this ambition, and Han did not see the wrong person. Han Qichu's eyes were bright, and he said with a smile, "That being the case, there is a plan to help the general succeed." ”

Twilight suddenly turned around and asked, "What's the plan?" ”

Han Qichu smiled deeply, raised his feet and went to the front of the case, uncovered the tea cup, dipped it in the cold tea and candles, waved a book, and looked at Duqing with a smile.

Twilight walked to the front of the case, looked down and saw that there were only two words on the case - indisputable!

Twilight Qing raised her eyes to look at Han Qichu, and the moment she saw these two words, her eyes were already bright.

Han Qichu said in a low voice: "If you are not mistaken, there have already been rumors about the matter of the sailor, and the Wang clan in Beijing will definitely fight hard for this position." Jiangbei has three outer armies, Shengjing has two inner armies, and each family has power in the army, and has checked and balanced each other for many years. If the sailor falls into the hands of one of them, the balance will be broken, and the governor of the navy will be cautious. The general has two benefits, one is from a slightly cold background and has no power in the court, and the other is from Jiangnan who is quite knowledgeable about water! The general has no power in the court, and he is the best candidate for the court, firstly, the checks and balances between the various gate valve families can not be broken, and secondly, the powerless general is easy to control, and he has no worries about using it, and he has no worries. And for the imperial court, it is not difficult to establish a water master, but how to train the water master is a difficult matter. The general has no power, which is really an advantage that others can't match! As long as the general does not fight, do not show his ambition, and the sailor is in the general's pocket! ”

The meaning of this was clear to Twilight when she heard it.

"Tomorrow in the court, the palace banquet in the evening, the general should not hand over more to the courtiers." Twilight Qing has a cold temperament, treats people and is not good at socializing, Han Qichu knows very well, but he just gives one or two instructions, and makes the interests clear, "The general is not afraid of poor popularity, the more the general is not the heart of the courtiers, the more Yuan Xiangguo or the empress dowager will not be jealous, and the general will be more stable when he is the governor of the navy." ”

Han Qichu's smile is profound, and his shortcomings have become strengths, it is really God's will to achieve a generation of sailor bosses!

When the general commands the naval division, he can't help but be handled by the imperial court, and it is not up to the imperial court to have the final say.

"Thank you, sir, for your plan." Twilight Qing and Han Qichu shook it.

"Don't be like this, if you follow the general below, you have to help the general achieve some achievements." Han Qichu helped Dui Qing up, and the two discussed a few more words about the palace banquet tomorrow night, and Han Qichu retired, only to wait for the good news of Dui Qing tomorrow.

This night, Twilight stayed awake all night, and Liu Heizi entered the tent on the fourth watch, brought the battle robe and armor, and waited for Twilight to freshen up and dress properly, and the war horse was already waiting outside the tent.

The sky is not clear, and the soldiers return to Beijing.

Wear armor into the court, and the Golden Palace is sealed!
