Chapter 17: The Life of the Old Duke of Fanwai (II)

Li Meng's boy's lovesickness fell into the air, and he sat on the eaves all day and sighed.

The niece of the military advisor's family was promised to Chu Yue's eldest son, Chu Rui. Before that, everyone thought that my smart and handsome son would be a couple with her. Even I'm already silently counting my family's wealth to see if I can marry the daughter of this family who has been in the family for many generations.

Li Meng was very disappointed. I think he seems to have damaged self-esteem and the embarrassment of not being able to get off the stage, not the kind of heartbreak. This son of mine doesn't look like a person who will be hurt by love and heartbroken.

Son, you are only sixteen years old, do you want to be so precocious? You Laozi and I only met for the first time at the age of twenty-four, 1 love taste!

Qiu Bing was so worried that he couldn't sleep every day. Li Meng didn't have to worry about us since he was a child, and when there was a problem at first glance, everyone paid extra attention. Every time the military advisor saw me, he wanted to stop talking, and Chu Yue walked around me during that time.

Actually, I'm more worried than they are. Not worrying about my son, though.

The military advisor's sister married Chu Yue, and if Chu Yue ...... in the future, then she would be the queen. Now the niece of the military advisor is married to Chu Rui again. In the future, if the relatives are so powerful, how can the military adviser deal with himself?

Zhang Yun became the military advisor of the Chu family's army, not because of his kinship with Chu Yue. Zhang Yun really has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth. I have escaped death many times, all thanks to his schemes. That's why my voice is sincere.

It was this that made it even more difficult for me to accept the embarrassing situation that these two friends might face in the future. The military advisors Zhang Yun and Chu Yue are too proud and too self-conscious, and there are still several big clans in Jinzhou and Jingnan standing behind the military advisor, and now they are fighting the world, so they naturally need the help of these people, but once they drive all the Hu people out......

Counting on the military advisor to be like me, he can retreat to the countryside, even if he is willing, the inextricable relationships behind him cannot help him.

and that little girl, who obviously has a good impression of my son, but can completely abandon her feelings for the sake of the family, is also a person who should not be underestimated. If she and Chu Yue's wife were as virtuous and gentle, it would be fine, but I was afraid of this kind of intelligence and perseverance.

Thinking of this, I also began to worry.

That winter, everyone's relationship seemed to be suddenly frozen. At this time, the war in the west started, and I needed to send troops out again, Qiu Bing wanted to speak several times, and I knew that she wanted me to talk to my son before leaving.

The night before I set out, I climbed up to the roof with a jar of wine in my arms to find my son.

You say I dare to drink before I go on the expedition? Who said I should drink? I'm not here to get my eldest son drunk.

"I don't understand why she's getting so fast." Li Meng took the jar and took a big sip.

"Poof......

Tsk, I don't even know what wine tastes like, and I dare to climb to the roof every day to "hurt lovesickness".

"You didn't lose to Chu Rui, but to power. There's nothing to be ashamed of. When you and I married your mother, we were also moved by wealth. How can there be so many singing and crying feelings of admiration in the world, which are all words to deceive the little girl in the boudoir. I watched my son frowning and drinking Fenjiu one by one, "Even if you are a girl from a country family, you have to consider whether the married Lang Jun is self-motivated, and there are several acres of land at home." ”

"I'm not willing to ......"

"If you are not reconciled, marry a wife who is more beautiful and intelligent than her. Love her wholeheartedly, maintain her, spoil her as the happiest lady in the world, and let those who didn't choose you regret dying. ”

"Daddy."

"Huh?"

"Have you ever been abandoned by other girls before, and then you found your mother?"

"Get out!"

I went down to the roof with my drunk son in my arms. This kid is so heavy, he looks so thin, how can he be so heavy? Could it be that this kid is a crab, and the meat is all grown in the bones?

"Hoo ......"

Well, next time I come back, I'll have to nurture his drinking. Growing up in the army, how can you not drink? Don't even get drunk in the 1st room of the cave in the future, let my daughter-in-law wait!

The next day, I said goodbye to my wife and two young sons and led the army on the march. Li Meng can still sleep, it seems that he has seen it.

If this battle is to be won, the world will recover most of it. The rest are hard bones.

As soon as I thought that I would soon be able to unload my armor and return to the field, I couldn't help but want to march quickly and drive the remaining Hu people back to Moxi's old house completely.

The battle lasted for more than three years, and when I returned home, my eldest son told me that he had a crush on a girl and told me to hurry up and propose marriage. Qiu Bing also looked very satisfied.

That girl is also surnamed Zhang, but she is not the Zhang family of Jinzhou, and she has nothing to do with Chu Rui's current wife. She is the granddaughter of Zhang Tingyan, the former imperial master, when the Hu people rebelled, the imperial master and the whole family went into hiding, and now the world is calm, the children of the Zhang family go out of the mountain, and most of the low-level officials in the Chu Yue army are the children of the Zhang family.

These money and food officials, the children of those clans don't bother to take responsibility. Most of the people who are willing to serve in these vacancies are people from people like me. Most of them are illiterate, or illiterate, and logistics are not a trivial matter, so Chu Yue naturally can't rest assured.

Now that Zhang Tingyan's descendants have come out of the mountain, they have finally solved our urgent needs.

The bigger the territory, the more Chu Yue's hardships were felt. O family! Clan!

I sighed again.

The following year, Meng'er and Zhang's Wanning got married. Chu Yue took Chu Rui and brought a jaw-dropping gift to congratulate. I accepted the gifts, and if they don't accept them, they should think more. How tired do you think they are?

I handed over the gift to Qiu Bing for safekeeping, and Qiu Bing is still the same as before, and she doesn't know how to spend the money for her. We're all the same. After being in the army for so many years, the money we have saved can probably make the whole family eat and drink spicy food for hundreds of years.

Our two families have been embarrassed for many years because of the niece of the military advisor's family, and even Chu Rui and Meng'er are not as irreversible as before. I originally wanted the children of the two families to be as close as their Lao Tzu.

Fortunately, after his son got married, he seemed to have finally returned to his usual appearance.

I never took it to heart, I really didn't think that girl was suitable for Meng'er. Meng'er should also think about it, but I don't know why the father and son put on that kind of "I know I have lost you, and I will compensate you" every time.

Meng'er inherited my character, with a calm and indifferent personality, and also Qiu Bing's tenacity. It's just that he is ugly, so he is said to be "wooden and silent", and he is naturally handsome, so he is said to be "introverted and elegant" and has "the style of a countryman".

What the is this!

Mon'er is changing day by day, and after getting married, he is becoming more and more outstanding. Zhang's personality is warm and lively, which makes Li Meng gradually become likable. You must know that this child has grown up like a young man since he was a child, and this is an amazing progress.

This daughter-in-law is well married!

What really made me feel that Li Meng had really grown to the level of being on par with me was in the year when he captured the last city of the Hu people.

At that time, Chu Yue and I were both nearly fifty years old, and the Hu people had been guarding this city for nearly two years. We have been ruled by the Hu people for a long time, and all the looted materials from the Central Plains and the surrounding small countries are stored here, and the city defense equipment provided by the people of the Western Regions has also made us return several times.

There's enough food in it for them to eat for decades, besiege the city?

We can't afford it.

It was spring, and the rain was continuous, making it difficult to siege the city. The outbreak of the epidemic in the barracks made it even worse. The epidemic spread throughout the Chu army, and even my youngest son was not spared.

It was my decision to take my wife and children with me, and I felt frustrated again. Since the last time the Hu people slaughtered the village, I didn't feel at ease where I put them, and I was willing to take them in the camp, no matter who said it, it was useless. Under my own nose, I was confident that no one could hurt them.

No one could hurt them, but it wasn't people who hurt them this time.

Qiu Bingmu's tearful face made me want to dig a pit and bury myself. My youngest son's appearance and demeanor are very similar to Qiu Bing's younger brother, both thin and shy.

This is equivalent to killing two more children in front of her!

I hugged Qiu Bing and cried all night. If she can't cry, let me shed tears for her.

After the epidemic, half of the staff in the barracks was reduced. Mon'er decided to find a group of dead soldiers, dig them out of the soil because of the epidemic, and throw them into the city with stone-throwing instruments.

He wanted the epidemic to spread in that city, and the Hu people were from Monan, and once the epidemic occurred, the survival rate would be even lower......

But in that city, there are also Han people!

When I didn't know it, Meng'er had already become the same person as the military advisor and Chu Yue?

It was just another blow to me.

Damn war!

I was vehemently opposed to what he did, and for the first time I had a heated argument over a matter. If Suzaku Castle is captured in this way, even if it can be won, the seeds of suspicion will be left in the hearts of the people. If you can abandon them for victory now, you will be able to treat them as mustard for something else in the future.

If so, what's the point of laying down this country? It's just a change to another group of rulers who see them as pigs and dogs!

Meng'er persuaded the military advisor and Chu Yue, and even Chu Rui, who had always kept a low profile, maintained a unanimous opinion. In my reluctance and anger, I saw thousands of old robes being thrown into the imperial city like tattered sacks.

Only the numb expressions of the remaining soldiers in the army were left, and the anger that dared not speak out.

There is no place to die, which is probably the most embarrassing punishment.

In April, a massive plague broke out in the imperial city, resulting in heavy deaths. Mon'er's ploy worked. I have always felt that I have killed so much that I may not die well. But my son, overnight, caused several times as many casualties as I did.

It seems that I will have to accumulate virtue for my eldest son for the rest of my life.

At this time, everyone in the army held their breath. If you can't beat this city again, you will not only be sorry for the comrades who died in battle, but also sorry for the pits dug one by one on the dirt slope.

It only took us one day and one night to take the most difficult city to conquer.

The once prosperous Suzaku City has been completely ruined by the soldiers who have completely taken off the reins, and the corpses are everywhere, and there are coughing Hu and Han people everywhere. I take my guards all day long, covering my face carves, to catch the rabbit cubs who have broken their brains.

Kill a hundred to make an example, to blame the staff, fortunately, after so many years of conquest, I have established a majesty in the army, and finally controlled this group of wild horses.

Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. We all understand that if a bowstring is too tight, it is easy to injure the bearer of the bow once it is released.

We entered the palace, the Hu Emperor was hanged, the royal family was beheaded, and the palace ladies were already ......

Later, I asked Chu Yue to simply give these palace maids who couldn't survive anymore to those singles in the army. Some of them fought the world for the Chu family, and they didn't get married in their forties. Now that the world is about to be peaceful, the soldiers must return to the countryside.

Always let the family live a serious life.

I rescued a very young palace maid in the palace, and the way she fought with reason in the face of those soldiers reminded me of Qiu Bing. I asked her back, ready to let her be Qiu Bing's companion. I think my wife should be able to get along with her.

I knew what Chu Yue was thinking, and he thought I was moved. I didn't bother to explain, what I did to my wife, my wife and I just knew. Qiu Bing is far less smart than her, and she is not as beautiful as her, but this palace maid is not as good as my wife. My wife has a normal heart that can hold herself at all times, and she also has the fortitude to know that she has to give up when she needs to give up.

I fell in love with her perseverance back then, and now I am even more in love with her calmness.

But my guess was wrong, Qiu Bing didn't seem to like this palace maid called "Hua Dynasty". Even my children didn't like her. They could all accept my wife, but they couldn't accept a lady who had been hired to serve them.

It's a pity that she is smart and clever, and she has a lot of accidents. And there are no ambitions yet. I've always been very accurate in my view of people.

Whatever it is, if you don't like it, you don't like it. I originally saved her for Qiu Bing, if my wife and children don't like her, I just keep her as an ornament, it's nothing.

In the future, if she wants to get married, I will give her a dowry.

The country is predetermined.

I think it's time for me to get off my armor and go back to the field.
