Chapter 188: The Past of Northern Xinjiang

The old man was talking to Jing Mo when he saw a little boy standing on tiptoe and placing a celadon bowl in front of his desk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe old man opened the lid, and it was really a palace bird's nest porridge that had not changed for thousands of years. The old man frowned, he really didn't have much appetite.

"Master, you don't like to drink this porridge." The prince saw the old man's discomfort, so he said.

"Well, how could it be." Jingmo interrupted the old man's complaint and said with a smile. This prince is already lacking in confidence, and if he is told by his master a few more times, I am afraid that he will not dare to say anything about it.

"Yes, yes, we all love to eat. But I'll eat a lot for dinner, so I'll give it to your Uncle Jingmo. The old man said with a smile, looking at Jingmo's face suddenly turned blue. Secretly refreshed in his heart, since this kid likes to speak with a clear conscience, let him have a good taste of lying.

"Yes, good. I'll just drink it. Jingmo nodded, although it was true that he was still not hungry, and the bird's nest porridge given by the royal family was really bland and tasteless, but looking at the prince's eager eyes, he still drank it reluctantly.

"Mm-hmm, my mother brought it on purpose. I thought that the master should not have slept yet, can I come up and sit down? The prince looked at the old man and whispered that he really wanted to sit next to the old man, and it would feel very warm.

"Come on." The old man patted the position next to the kang and said with a smile. Although the weather is still hot now, the old man likes to sleep on the kang since he was a child. Even in the luxurious palace, I still want to sleep on this kind of local feeling of the earthen kang.

The prince said that it was very novel, after all, it was the first time he saw the kang, and he climbed up, only feeling a little hard, but he still felt very comfortable. He leaned lightly on the old man's shoulder and said with a grin.

"This is so much fun, I want my mother to get me one too." The prince's eyes were round, staring at Jingmo. Watching Jingmo keep drinking the bird's nest porridge, looking at the expression didn't seem to be very enjoyable, but Jingmo was still very happy to be able to drink this bowl of porridge for himself.

"Your mother should have slept with this thing, thinking that when your mother led soldiers to fight in the northern Xinjiang, it was very severe." The old man said with a smile, looking at the prince's eyes with some interest, and then continued. "How much do you know about your mother?"

"I only know that my mother went to war, but I don't know anything else. My mother didn't want to tell me because she was afraid of scaring me. The prince shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone. Her mother is the only female general since the opening of the Daqing Dynasty. It stands to reason that he should also have some blood, but he hasn't inherited it at all.

"Well, your mother's considerations are also normal. After all, if you are a person who wants to fight in the court, it is better to have less blood and more consideration. Your mother did the right thing, but I think you should still hear about your mother's story. You must know that your mother is not only the only female general, but also one of the most powerful generals in Daqing. The old man said with a smile, it's not that he hadn't seen Xiao Guifei fight before. At that time, I felt that it was very rare, and I persuaded it for a long time, but Xiao Guifei never agreed to follow her to learn martial arts, which made the old man regret it for a while.

"Tell me about it, okay?" The prince pulled the old man's shirt and asked pitifully.

"Well, I'll tell you more about it." The old man nodded, his eyes misty, and he didn't know where he was going.

Let's say that this Xiao Guifei is named Yuan Xin'er. She was the only daughter of the Yuan family, and it was the twentieth year of the first emperor at that time, and there were constant wars in northern Xinjiang. It snowed heavily on the border, and the nomads had no food to eat, so they went south.

The first emperor sent General Yuan to the north to destroy the army. General Yuan Da is a young man, and after destroying the southwest Japanese robbers, he is full of spirit. Unexpectedly, the weather in northern Xinjiang was bad, and General Yuan was not familiar with the climate and topography of northern Xinjiang, so he retreated one after another.

The wife of General Yuanda, with a one-year-old son and pregnant in May, Qi played the first emperor. With tears in his eyes, he asked to live and die with his husband and protect the rivers and mountains of Daqing. Therefore, the first emperor specially approved, and his wife went north. Confluence with the Great General of the Yuan Dynasty. And Yuan Xin'er was born in Northern Xinjiang.

That night, the biggest snowstorm in years struck northern Xinjiang. The general's wife had a constant abdominal pain in the middle of the night, and suddenly the north was bright, and a great white light appeared. Yuan Xin'er was born smoothly, and that night, the horses of the nomads in northern Xinjiang suddenly went crazy overnight. General Yuan took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeated the enemy.

"Husband." Chen, the general's wife, stood outside the barracks with her daughter who was born in March, watching the bloodstained general return, and said with a smile. She gave birth in the middle of the night, but her body has not yet recovered.

"Lady, thank you for your hard work." The general stepped forward and grabbed Chen, said with a smile, but put his head heavily on Chen's shoulder, and sent his hand down.

"Husband." Chen exclaimed, but when he heard the heavy panting sound of his husband beside him, he reacted, probably tired. In these three months, he collected the remnants of the army, and even went deep into the hinterland of northern Xinjiang to capture thieves in Wushan. In the past three months, I probably haven't had much rest.

Although Chen is a woman, she is quite stylish. After settling his husband, he was busy with his daughter and took care of the post-war affairs in an orderly manner. Deal with the wounded, report on the situation, and count casualties. It's been three days since that's done.

During this period, General Yuan only woke up once, and after eating, he fell asleep again. It wasn't until the fifth day that I was completely awake.

"Lady, you've worked hard these days." After listening to the deputy general's report, General Yuan was silent for a moment, and saw Chen slowly walking in with the soup before he spoke, his voice hoarse. "If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for."

"I'm just giving a little bit of effort, and it's all for the country." Chen smiled, having said that, but the hard work of the past few days made her already weak body even more uncomfortable. Walking is a little shaky, presumably it is not good,

"Lady." General Yuan was stunned for a while, looking at his wife's face, this iron-clad man actually wanted to cry.

"General, let's have some soup." Chen said with a smile and handed the soup in his hand to General Yuan. It is stewed with mutton, which is the most tonic. General Yuan has been really hard for three months, and his body has long been unable to support it. Now that I've slept for five days, it's really best to get up and drink a bowl of thick mutton soup.

"Uh-huh, okay." General Yuan caught the soup and drank it in a big gulp. The temperature is just right, and you know that your wife is virtuous. The decoction sent each time was appropriate, so General Yuan was able to drink this bowl of soup with confidence.

"Husband, since you are awake. Then I'll rest, I've been a little tired in the last few days. Chen leaned softly into General Yuan's arms and closed his eyes a little tiredly. Already running out of strength, General Yuan handed the evening to the adjutant. "Lie down in my bosom and sleep, and coax you to sleep for your husband."

"Hmm." Chen snorted quietly, wrapped his arms around General Yuan's waist, and closed his eyes with a smile. I fell asleep and lost consciousness for a while.

Let's say that after sleeping for an afternoon, General Yuan suddenly felt that the person in his arms was getting hotter and hotter, and when he touched it with his hand, he found that Chen had already let out a hot sweat, and his forehead was hot. Chen also began to talk restlessly, and General Yuan realized that something was wrong. Hurriedly called the doctor over.

However, the military doctor in this barracks had already been killed on the battlefield, and the adjutant general had to find a lame man in the surrounding area. General Yuan looked at it and felt that this Lang Zhong was unreliable. But in this ghost place, there is no other one to find except this Jianghu traveling doctor. So, General Yuan had to let that Lang Zhong treat his wife.

Let's say that this Langzhong is a ruffian. Now he was suddenly caught by the adjutant general, and he was a little blindsided for a while. But in the face of General Yuan's majesty, he still trembled to check the pulse. Although this Jianghu traveling doctor has no medical skills, the ordinary pulse is still clear. This Chen's pulse is obviously no longer good, and the anger is like a gossamer.

"General, Madame, I'm afraid it's useless. Let's prepare for the future. Na Lang whispered, but the collar was picked up by General Yuan.

"If she dies today, you will be buried with her." General Yuan roared angrily, his eyes burning with rage, and he almost peed his pants.

"Yes, yes, the grass people must do their best." Na Langzhong stammered in fright and nodded vigorously.

When General Yuan heard this, he let go of Na Langzhong. Tie Qing walked towards his own lady with a blue face. Still feverish, blushing.

"You're having a hard time, don't worry. I'll cure you. I won't let you die. General Yuan whispered, pinching Chen's arm with his hand, his eyes bloodshot.

After that, that Lang Zhong used his anger indiscriminately and prescribed a lot of tiger and wolf medicines, which finally cured Chen's increasingly poor body worse and worse.

The day of Chen's death was a summer day in northern Xinjiang. The weather is hot and dusty.

General Yuan held the body of his deceased wife and walked step by step into the depths of the desert. He was followed by a row of soldiers, about a thousand people. More than 1,000 people are the dead of the Yuan family. In the depths of the desert, the wind and sand run wild. Every man's face was full of tears, and he shouted Chen's name hoarsely in the most primitive way.

"Lady, you said that your favorite is the desert lonely smoke." General Yuan put his deceased wife on the ground, squatted down and whispered.

The wind and sand were so strong that they quickly covered Chen's body. Then there was a gust of wind, and General Yuan and more than a thousand people pulled their swords with each other. There was silence for a while, and this storm passed. Chen's body has long since disappeared.

"Lady, I sent you to the most beautiful desert. Hopefully, in the next life, we can be husband and wife again. It's just that I don't want to be this general anymore, I want to have a farm, plant beans and feed mulberry hemp. General Yuan whispered, this man's last tear was given to the Si people.

After this, General Yuan went crazy attacking the tribes, and even taught his two children, a boy and a girl, to train in the most rigorous way. I just hope that these two children can protect themselves in times of war.

This is fifteen years, and Yuan Xin'er has long been proficient in the art of war in these more than ten years of tempering. He followed his father deep into enemy forces many times.

This day was Yuan Xin'er's fifteenth birthday, and General Yuan set up an unprecedented banquet to celebrate, but he didn't expect bad news from the front. The Huns didn't know where they got the news, and when they knew that there was a banquet on this day, they thought about ambushing and attacking. Just to steal some food to survive the winter.

General Yuan hesitated, and was just about to say let them go. But Yuan Xin'er took the case.

"Father, this grain was given to us by the people of the Central Plains to save money. How could it be so easily given to the barbarians. Ask my father to let me go and capture the head of the enemy. Xiao Guifei said indignantly, her beautiful eyes full of righteousness.

"It is my blessing that my son can have this ambition." General Yuan was extremely moved and issued a military order on the spot. Send Xiao Guifei into battle. Resist the Xiongnu army with 5,000 men.

Xiao Guifei grew up in the desert since she was a child, and she may know more about the terrain here than the Xiongnu. In less than half an hour, Xiao Guifei rode into battle alone, rushed straight to the enemy, and went to the head of the Hun leader Xiang Shang, because Xiao Guifei was a woman and small in size, and when the Huns reacted, they had already been headed. Scattered for a while, Xiao Guifei took advantage of the victory to pursue, and took more than 3,000 people on the opposite side with an army of 5,000.

This is probably the best gift for a fifteen-year-old.

By the end of the story, it was already late at night. The prince was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Master, are you really talking about my mother?" The prince asked in a low voice, he didn't expect his grandmother and mother to be such people, and the prince couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Who else can it be if it's not your mother, let's talk about the rest tomorrow. It's not too early, so you can go to bed early. The old man smiled and touched the prince's head, and said gently.

"Uh-huh, okay." Although Prince T is still a little reluctant, it is really not early. So he obediently got off the kang, but stopped and turned around and asked. "Master, can I sleep with you?"

"No, you can't. Your Uncle Jingmo will also go back later, obedient. "The old man shook his head, the most vulnerable time for people is when they are dependent on others, and the prince must not be allowed to develop such a bad habit."

"Okay, I got it." The prince nodded, although he wanted to tell the old man that he liked to be with him. But because of his identity, he didn't say it after all. It turns out that her mother is such a woman, so gentle on weekdays.

"Master, this Concubine Xiao is really a strange woman." Jingmo watched the prince go out, and sighed.

"yes. It's a pity that in the palace, such a strange woman was ruined. The old man nodded, but shook his head again, and the regret on his face was clearly visible.

"It's hard to say, the war in northern Xinjiang has never stopped." (To be continued.) )
