361: General Cheng
When Yan Jin heard this, his heart 'chuckled'.
Instantly, she felt a little hot in her cheeks.
It's like using too much wine at a birthday party just now.
Slightly drunk.
Shen Cangcang held Yan Jin's hand and looked at it for a long time, his eyebrows and eyes were full of doubts, "I should have seen it, but ......"
She didn't remember where she had seen it.
It's obviously familiar, and it's obvious that you can blurt it out the next moment.
Can it be ...... I just can't remember.
Yan Jin lowered his eyes, withdrew his wrist from Shen Cangcang's hand, and said softly, "It's just an ordinary sandalwood bracelet, it's not surprising that the county lord will see it!" County Lord, didn't you say you were going to take me to Chili Pond? Then let's go and get back quickly! β
Yan Jin quickly changed the topic, trying not to make Shen Cangcang suspicious.
At this time, the thousand carp pond should have frozen, but the queen mother likes to enjoy fish, so Emperor Yuan Ding specially instructed people to chisel the ice surface and inject some hot spring water, so as to barely maintain the thousand carp pond no longer frozen! If you want to enjoy fish in winter, there is no second person who can do such a feat except the royal family.
Shen Cangcang also felt strange, so he led Yan Jin to the Thousand Carp Pond.
As a result, before the two of them could lift their steps, they heard a heavy footstep behind them.
The footsteps were very calm, and the startled Shen Cangcang immediately turned around.
Yan Jin subconsciously took Shen Cangcang behind him and blocked Shen Cangcang with his body, wanting to protect Shen Cangcang.
The people who came surprised Shen Cangcang and Yan Jin.
The man who came was a man of about fifty, and his brocade robe was luxurious. But it's a little out of place with him. He is magnificent, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of heroism. Under the moonlight, his skin was bronzed, and there were a few traces of the sword on the exposed wrists, which was a little terrifying to look at.
When that person saw Yan Jin's appearance, he also narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression was a little scrutinized.
His gaze was direct, and Yan Jin quietly took a few steps back.
Until, Shen Cangcang slowly poked out a small head from behind Yan Jin. Then he called softly tentatively. "Father-in-law?"
Her voice was small, barely audible.
However, Yan Jin, who was standing in front of Shen Cangcang, still heard clearly.
Shen Cangcang called that man--father-in-law.
Yan Jin began to think in his heart. Who the hell is this person.
Fifty years old. Momentum! Judging from the costumes. He was supposed to be a military attachΓ©......
In Dayan, there are only a handful of military attachΓ©s like this!
If you have a relationship with Shen Cangcang. There is only one person who can be called a righteous father by Shen Cangcang.
The old general Cheng Wentai of the Liaodong General Army.
"You little girl, why did you come here?" Old General Cheng frowned, and there was a little doubt in his voice, "Where do you want to slip away?" β
Shen Cangcang slowly walked out from behind Yan Jin, and then winked at Old General Cheng, "Father-in-law, you know?" β
"All you have to do is lift your feet, and I know you're going in that direction!" Old General Cheng's gaze moved to Yan Jin's body and asked softly, "Who is this?" β
Shen Cangcang held Yan Jin's hand and walked a few steps towards General Cheng before he said proudly, "This is Su Su, the daughter of Lord Yan Ji Changyan!" She's good! β
Yan Jin withdrew his hand from Shen Cangcang's palm and saluted, "See General Cheng!" β
"Get up, Lord Yan teaches her daughter well, you know the rules very well!" Old General Cheng smiled, "However, in front of me, there is no need to talk too much about this. After all, we'll meet again in the past! β
Yan Jin nodded, "Yes!" β
She has always been in awe of General Cheng.
Not only Yan Jin, but many people in the Great Yan Dynasty admired Cheng Wentai's actions very much.
Cheng Wentai's family was poor when he was a child, but he liked to read and practice martial arts, and lived on the border of the Western Regions for several years, knowing well the pain caused by the war between the two countries to civilians! Cheng Wentai joined the army at the twelve, and later followed the Shen family and fought a lot of battles! It was not until later, when the imperial court implemented the conscription system, that he came out of the Shen family and recruited some poor people from the Western Regions as soldiers from the border of the Western Regions, and established a Cheng family army.
General Cheng's army was the only army in the Great Yan Dynasty that recruited people from other countries in the Western Regions. He doesn't discriminate against these people who are not similar to the Great Yan Dynasty in terms of skin color and eye color, he is very friendly to these people! Therefore, those desperate people in the Western Regions are also very willing to take refuge in him.
Such as Kunlun Nu, they are born with great strength and outstanding combat ability! And General Cheng personally trained them and trained them into an elite assault force.
On the battlefield, many people were afraid of them.
What is even more admirable is that General Cheng has only married one woman in his life, but this woman is a woman from the Western Regions.
She gave birth to six sons and one daughter for General Cheng Lao.
These six sons all died on the battlefield! And General Cheng is different from others, he allows his sons' daughters-in-law to remarry, and when they remarry, he even claims to the outside world that they are his daughters and cannot be bullied or trampled on by anyone. Otherwise, don't blame him for being unkind.
So much so that later, after the daughters-in-law remarried, the children they gave birth to continued to be sent to the Cheng family army as soldiers.
They, thank you.
General Cheng's only daughter, married Jingjue.
In order to prevent the two countries from fighting each other.
For such a person, Yan Jin admires it.
General Cheng has done his best for the country, and he has never been mean to his daughters-in-law! It's just that......
He was loyal to his country, but he did not leave an heir. The only grandson also died many years ago.
Really...... The sky does not open its eyes.
Old General Cheng didn't notice Yan Jin's abnormality, but raised his head to look at the surrounding sky, and then said to Shen Cangcang, "Where are you going now?" β
"I'm going to take Susu to the Thousand Carp Pond!" Shen Cangcang's words were a little coquettish, "Father-in-law, do you want to go together?" β
General Cheng shook his head, "I'm not going!" Don't go either, if you want to go in the future, there is a chance! After you left the table, Dingguo Gong was very worried, so let me come out to find you! What about you, go back obediently, don't let Dingguo Gong worry about you all the time! β
"I ...... I'm not a kid again! Although Shen Cangcang didn't understand why General Cheng was so worried, he still nodded, "I know!" β
After Shen Cangcang finished speaking, he looked at Yan Jin with a little apology, "Susu, isn't it mine today!" β
"Nope!" Yan Jin smiled, "As long as the county lord is happy, everything else is fine!" β
Yan Jin said sincerely, without the slightest hint of anger.
Shen Cangcang breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to General Cheng with Yan Jin.
The two of them slowly walked in the direction of the birthday banquet, and General Cheng looked at Yan Jin for a long time, until their figures disappeared into the night. He retracted his gaze, looked at the rockery not far away, and said softly, "Stinky boy, everyone is gone, and you still haven't come out?" (To be continued......)
