Chapter 174: War

Yang Yunqiu saw General Tong Lintong when summer was approaching.

The emperor left the capital for thirty miles, and took the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to greet him, giving the old general absolute respect.

Sitting in a well-known restaurant in the capital, Yang Yunqiu looked at the old general who came on horseback below, very ordinary, his body was dark and thin, his skin was very rough, and his expression was tired, and his old appearance was revealed.

It is said that he went to Northern Xinjiang at the age of sixteen to make meritorious contributions, and it has been thirty years since then, and he is only forty-six years old, but at this moment, he looks like he is seventy-six.

However, the appearance is aging, but the momentum is strong.

Yang Yunqiu looked at him, but felt very comfortable.

It's not the kind of pure enjoyment that the light of merit brings, which makes people feel naturally close, on the contrary, he still has a bit of a desire to stay away.

Yang Yunqiu has seen many generals who kill people on the battlefield.

Because he kills too many people, no matter how much merit he has, it seems that he can't erase the sin attached to the soul, but this sin is probably a very pure thing, and there is no stench that he avoids, and maybe it shouldn't be called a sin at all.

Just like what I occasionally saw in the Yin Dynasty before, pure demon cultivation, the black qi on the body is rich, terrifying, but it will not make people disgusted, it is demonic energy, but unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer pure demon cultivators in the world, but the kind of guys who have fallen into the demon path are becoming more and more numerous.

Tong Lin also has a lot of black qi, more than ten times richer than he has felt in his friends, Wang Zheng, and Fu Xueqing, but the breath is much purer than those four, even Yang Yunqiu himself. When he participated in the interstellar war in the future world, I am afraid that he did not have the momentum of him.

The people of the capital cheered.

The ravages of the barbarians are still in sight, and the hatred has not yet subsided. Tong Lin's big victory is also the biggest victory in decades, and it is impossible for these small people in the capital not to cheer.

Tong Lin's face was so happy that he couldn't see it, but was very calm.

Yang Yunqiu can also understand.

I heard that the barbarians returned from slaughtering the city this time, and completely destroyed several villages, and there were also Tong Lin's relatives and friends there. Even if he wins, where can he be happy?

In order to garrison northern Xinjiang, Tong Lin lost three sons. Two daughters-in-law, one grandson, until now, the Tong family is only one single seedling. It's still weak and sickly. When he dies, his daughter-in-law and little grandson, who knows what will happen to Lu Dao, if the emperor is sympathetic to the hero, he will not give his grandson a good result.

Perhaps, Tong Lin chose to simply put down his military power and return to Beijing after a big victory, not because he couldn't see that the northern frontier was still dangerous, and the leader of the barbarians, Wenren Eagle, was even more dangerous. It's that he's getting old, and he has to think about his own family. The idea of being loyal to the king and serving the country in my heart is no longer comparable to the concern for my children and grandchildren.

Yang Yunqiu was rarely interested, and brought the students in the school to visit General Tong, and played for an afternoon, because the city was full of merchants who gave away all kinds of snacks for free, as well as various programs, and even the storyteller of the teahouse restaurant also gave up other gossip news and started the August 18 Northern Xinjiang War.

General Tong is simply said to be the kind of god of war who has big shoulders and a round waist, can pick up a copper hammer weighing a thousand catties in one hand, and shakes the mountains on the spot when he steps on it, which makes many insiders laugh.

"Sir, can General Tong still return to the battlefield?"

Cui Huaixin smiled and couldn't help frowning.

Yang Yunqiu shook his head: "I don't know how to do it, it's better not to have such an opportunity." ”

Cui Huaixin was stunned.

"If it weren't for the fact that our Hong Dynasty suffered a big loss, it had already reached the point of last resort, and it would be impossible for His Majesty to return the General Tong, he is an old man, after all, he is old."

Therefore, if Tong Lin returns to the battlefield, it will never be a good thing.

"That'...... What will happen to the Tong family? ”

Cui Huaixin, like most young people, also admires heroes, and always doesn't want heroes to end well.

Yang Yunqiu was not worried at all.

"As long as the grandson of the old general does not have major problems, there will always be a future."

The prestige of his old man is so much higher, and I don't know if the little emperor will be very unhappy, of course, he is not very happy, and he can only adjust his mood and treat Tong Lin well.

If General Tong can't end well, who will give him his life in the future?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are not fools, and the little emperor will definitely be willing to start and finish well with Tong Lin, and the monarchs and ministers get along, besides, the Tong family does not hold the military power now, and there is only one single seedling left, which is completely different from those big families, it is the person that the little emperor can use, how can he not protect it well and show his mind?

Sure enough, soon the will came down, Tong Lin became the marquis of Zhenguo, gave a large number of land and gold, silver, money, and silk, and gave him a mansion, and let his little grandson study in the royal academy.

Tong Lin, the old man, is also very knowledgeable and enjoys his life in the capital.

Moreover, this old man is very interesting, it didn't take long for him to become a man of the year on the Fengyue field, don't look at his age, he doesn't have many poems and articles in his stomach, but he spends a lot of money, and he is knowledgeable and interesting, he speaks very beautifully, he is considerate, he will be raised in the capital for a few days, his complexion and body have recovered, and he is a few years younger.

His real age is less than fifty, and it is when a man is the most attractive, and for a while, a bunch of official media came to the door.

His wife has been dead for seventeen or eighteen years, and has not been renewed, and now it should become a family, if it is someone else, I am afraid that it will be hypocritical, but he is not, and he went directly to the emperor and said: "Yan'er went to the Royal Academy, the old minister stayed alone in the Hou Mansion, and he was also very lonely, I really wanted to find a woman who knew the cold and the hot, but I had been away from the capital for thirty years, and I was not familiar with the place, and the official media opened the mouth, and the old minister was not very trustworthy, so I asked His Majesty to bother with the old minister and find a good woman, just a little, It can't be the kind of delicate and weak lady, Lao Chen doesn't like it, if he knows a little kung fu, every morning, he can practice with Lao Chen, it would be the best. ”

“…………”

Wu Mi didn't know what to say for a while.

couldn't help but run to the academy and complain to Yang Yunqiu, "I thought General Tong was a famous general. It should be very serious, he talked to me in the imperial study, and his eyes were almost glued to my palace maid. Is...... I couldn't even get off the stage with his performance. ”

Having said that, Wu Mi still has to agree, people didn't ask for anything, they just want you to help find a daughter-in-law, since he opened his mouth, can he still say that he can't find it?

"Where can I go to find a woman who can practice with Tong Lin?"

Yang Yunqiu only watched the excitement happily.

He likes Tong Lin a lot, in fact. I want Tong Lin to come to their academy to teach.

Speaking of which, the two of them can get to know each other, thanks to Cui Huaixin. This kid especially admires Tong Lin, and he is also bold, and one day it was a holiday, holding the war chess made by his school. Rush to the green building. Directly find Tong Lin and play a game of war chess with others.

I have to say that Tong Lin is very low-key in the capital, and he didn't bring many guards with him when he went out, but he really let a stranger come to his eyes, of course, he was probably angry when he was a book, and there was not much of a threat.

And Tong Lin didn't interrupt Cui Huaixin's words. Listen to him explain the game of war chess with great interest.

The game is fun and the rules are interesting. Moreover, it was made according to the military deployment in northern Xinjiang, and so on, and he was immediately interested.

At the beginning, Tong Lin had the idea of playing with the little guy, and he didn't bother much, but as a result, no one expected that he would lose to a scholar in the first set!

The entire Qinglou was stunned.

Tong Lin was also taken aback, and hurriedly got serious, and in the next few rounds, Cui Huaixin was really abused, even so, Tong Lin also suffered several small losses.

He didn't know that Yang Yunqiu had nothing to do to study him with the students, and he really felt that Cui Huaixin was very talented in the art of war, and he heard this kid praise his academy like a flower, how could he not be curious?

There was no need for Yang Yunqiu to ask, Tong Lin himself searched for the door, and when he saw the sand table where the students were playing, and saw them deducing, he immediately wanted to stick to the academy all night, and even the thought of looking for flowers and willows was much lighter.

Yang Yunqiu said that he was very welcome.

…………

Early this morning, Gao Yi came to the academy with a sad brow.

Yang Yunqiu saw him walking around and around the courtyard, going around and around, several of his own students were trying to study the Qimen formation in the research institute, but he was circling there, and they all waited for half an hour, so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and hurriedly pulled people closer to the study, and gave the courtyard to the students who were about to blow up.

In fact, the courses in the academy do not include the Qimen formation, but there are all kinds of phantom formations and various attack formations in their own academy.

In the activity class, some students were curious, ran around and sneaked around, listening to the news, and saw that their husband was really willing to give them some advice.

All of a sudden, everyone was interested.

It's a pity that this thing is too complicated, and if you want to arrange the formation, you need to learn too many things, and even those with good qualifications are difficult to master. However, even so, there is still no diminished interest.

Over the years, there are a few who can simply arrange a phantom array, but when they need aura as an introduction, they have to rely on spirit stones, unlike Yang Yunqiu, everything can be arrayed.

Even so, they are satisfied.

There are no one else in the world who can access this kind of knowledge except the students of their academy, and this is not worth being proud of? A stunt like the Phantom Array should only be passed on to children or disciples, but now that his own husband is generous, everyone can be taught, and they should be content.

Besides, even if some phantom formations can't be arranged, at least once they encounter this kind of formation, they can adapt to the situation and break out of the formation, and there are many more opportunities than people who don't understand it at all.

More and more students can sneak out of the hall through the phantom array to play without asking for instructions, and Yang Yunqiu will not stop it, but anyone who can pass through the formation, even if they go out, there will probably be no danger.

If they fall behind in schoolwork, how to punish them, how to be unlucky, they are all caused by themselves.

Nowadays, although the phantom array is still often played, it is rare to sneak out of the gang.

Yang Yunqiu poured Gao Yi a cup of tea and said with a smile: "What are you doing here?" What's the matter? ”

“…… My sister, Wan'er she, she ......" Gao Yi gritted her teeth, "she said that she wanted to marry General Tong Lintong. ”

“…………”

Yang Yunqiu was stunned and confused.

No better than others, he can still feel it. The person that the eldest girl of the Gao family liked in the past was himself, although he never made it clear, Gao Yi had hints.

Gao Yi couldn't help but look up. glared at Yang Yunqiu resentfully-if this old man was willing to agree, where would there be anything inexplicable?

Yang Yunqiu sighed, he can't be blamed for this, he is leaving, this time it is a real body crossing, if it is a change of body, then it is not a big deal to marry a wife.

or something. Yang Yunqiu didn't have much.

However, he is using his own body now, and he is going to leave at some point. When the time comes, what if he leaves, leaving someone with a good woman?

Gao Yi doesn't go around in circles in the yard, but in circles in the house.

Yang Yunqiu frowned: "Why would Miss Gao make such a decision?" ”

It's not impossible, last few years. Most of the Gao family's business was laundered. And he is familiar with the little emperor, almost all the business in the palace is handed over to them, Gao Yi was also recommended to enter the household department, although he is only a man from the sixth grade, but the Gao family is not a pure Jianghu person.

Besides, the most important thing is that Miss Gao and the little emperor know each other.

If the Gao family mentions it. Maybe it does, of course. It's just a possibility, it's still not a high possibility, the status of the Gao family is too low, like General Tong Lintong, no matter how old he is, marrying a princess or something, it's not much of a problem.

Yang Yunqiu thought of this, so he smiled: "Although the children of the rivers and lakes are not informal, but the marriage is a major matter, and the parents have always been in charge, that is, the emperor wants to be a matchmaker, and your parents do not agree, it is also in vain, what is the hurry." ”

Gao Yi was stunned, thought about it, took a sip of tea, and calmed his mind.

Unlike many TV shows, the emperor is supreme, and he can refer to a marriage or something casually, in fact, the marriage that the emperor can control is only his own family, and the ministers are not slaves of his family.

Let's just say that the imperial court recently sent envoys to pick up draft girls, and as a result, the people all over the world were in a hurry to marry their daughters, which means that the emperor wants other people's girls, and it is not so easy, and the father of the family married the child out of Lu before, and he had no way at all.

After persuading Gao Yi, Yang Yunqiu thought about it, and still planned to meet Miss Gao to see what she meant.

When Yang Yunqiu first arrived, he met the Gao family, and he always owed a little favor, even if Gao Yi felt that the little favor he owed had already been repaid, but even in the face of a strange girl who had a good impression of him, he was willing to give a little care.

In the evening, Miss Gao used to play the piano in the garden.

When Yang Yunqiu took Ah Hong and Ah Xia over with the two girls, she was still stroking the piano as usual.

This piano song is still taught by Yang Yunqiu to Ah Hong, but Miss Gao's piano playing skills are much higher than Ah Hong's, and the piano song is somewhat mixed with a little sorrow.

Without him to speak, the woman who looked delicate on the outside, but was not delicate in fact, smiled and said: "Trouble Mr. Yang, don't worry too much, the slave family admits that it is indeed Mr. Xinyue, but the slave family has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and it is not as squeamish as the daughter of the boudoir, that is, it can't marry Mr., and the slave family can have a relationship with Mr., and they are already satisfied......"

As she spoke, the girl actually shed tears.

Yang Yunqiu looked at her seriously for the first time.

I didn't even know the real name of the girl Lu Dao, only that her brother called her Wan'er, and I didn't really look at one of her faces.

Miss Gao was born very beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a slender figure, although she was thin and her complexion was too white, she was weak and lovable, and most men liked such women.

Yang Yunqiu appreciates it the same, but it is just appreciation.

He wanted to say - thank you for the wrong love, I am grateful, and I also want to say, you are also a good girl, but we have no fate, but he only said four words - "I am very happy! ”

The girl's tears were still falling, but a smile appeared on her face.

Miss Gao laughed crisply in her voice for a while: "Sir, you can rest assured, I want to marry General Tong, but it's not because of you, he is a hero, I have always admired heroes, my father and mother want me to marry into an official family, or a family, even if it is poorer and more down-and-out families, I know what they mean, but that kind of life is something I don't like." ”

Yang Yunqiu was stunned, and couldn't help but feel that Miss Gao was really smarter than Gao Yi.

Whether it is a family or an official eunuch, with the current identity of the Gao family, marrying into it is also a dwarf, maybe you can only marry a concubine, and those people's rules are big, and Miss Gao has not had such big rules since she was a child, where can she live well?

If it is not for the right family, husband and wife will not be able to get used to it, and there will be no topic to talk about, so how can it be harmonious?

"Your Majesty may not necessarily agree, General Tong has many choices."

"I didn't force it, I just fought for it. If he can really get married, it's not bad, but what if he gets older? The old man loves his young wife, his three sons are gone, although he still has a little grandson, but he is about to go to the official school, and he will not live at home for long, besides, my identity is there, he has to be filial to me, and General Tong is not really that old. ”

Yang Yunqiu and an unmarried woman talk about such a topic, it is not very appropriate, but neither of them is the kind of person who is stubborn.

Since Miss Gao made this decision in her own heart, Yang Yunqiu didn't say anything more.

Unexpectedly, for a while, Yang Yunqiu and Miss Gao didn't have to worry about this matter, and Wu Mi didn't care about introducing his daughter-in-law to the old general.

In a short period of time, the war in northern Xinjiang broke out again.

And this time, because Tong Lin was not there, the new general sent by the imperial court was simply an idiot with a vegetarian meal, and he was stunned to let the family hear that the eagle led people to kill in Qizhou, and there was only 400 miles away from the capital, so this battle report could be delivered.
