Volume 1 Beauty Tears Chapter 36 The old father watches his son in armor
On the official road leading to Taiping City, a group of cavalry returning to Beijing from the border pass had just stepped onto the official road, and the thirteen cavalry were not fast, and they were not wearing regular clothes and armor. It's just that there is no need to wear armor when he goes home, and Chu Hanlin, who has only been traveling from home for a day, is still a little reluctant. After more than half a month of walking out of the army, this group of military men has never felt at ease. It seems that he has forgotten the sinister side of the border pass, from the Lu family to Chu Hanlin's family. The martial arts family has different feelings from the scholarly family, and some illiterate soldiers have a new understanding of this knowledgeable Chu Hanlin.
Chu Hanlin, who has been forcing himself to gain fame at home, was recognized by his father for the first time, and he still remembers that when he left home, his mother held his rough hand and kept saying: Follow General Liu well, and the Chu family has a military general. Don't pay attention to your father's accusations, what you say is not good. At night, he was still saying that his son was so good and so good, but he was worried that his son would die at the border.
When Chu Hanlin left, his father stood far away, and only his mother put a few books in her hands. He said that his father gave it to him, and he said that he should not forget to study in the army. Among them, there was actually a military book, Chu Hanlin held the heavy book tightly and glanced at his father who was hiding behind the door. Dragging the books, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily, shouting: "I won't let my father down." ”
Gao Xiaolong kept looking at the books in Chu Hanlin's backpack, and he was so greedy that he said several times that he was showing it to himself. Chu Hanlin didn't agree until he promised to teach him literacy in Taiping City, so he followed behind with a smile. Brother Chu shouted very attentively, and the other people just kept mocking the youngest boy.
Zhang Xing, who was born poor, has always been very calm, and has a new understanding from the martial arts family and the scholarly family. In addition to the general and Lu Lin, there was a third person in the entire army who admired him, and Chu Hanlin had also seen the barbarism in the army. Only I have never seen a man who kills people without blinking an eye, but also has a gentle side, and when he went home, he wore a white dress like a handsome boy in the story. Only You Dahu, who looked down on the rudeness, kept urging the general to go to Taiping City as soon as possible. Some people are rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and some people want to see the prosperous scenery of Taiping City. Only You Dahu remembered that the general said to take them to Piaoxianglou, and every time he talked about it, the obscenity in his eyes made everyone unbearable.
Now it is less than a day's journey to the largest city in Daliang, where there is the fame of literati, the world of businessmen and military generals. It is a place where all the nobles and businessmen of the world are gathered. It's only a forbidden place for the people of the rivers and lakes, and all the generals can be unscrupulous wherever they are, if they can't move out of the noble places. Only in this city is full of wealthy nobles, and a careful person will die in a prison and no one cares.
The elated crowd who were walking was suddenly stopped by Lu Lin's shout, and only Lu Lin shouted: "There is a master ahead." ”
Three hundred paces ago, there was a young man with a hat and a short sword, leading a red horse. How could the people in the army, especially those born in cavalry, not see that it was a good war horse. This war horse alone has no price, especially in the times of war. Whoever has such a good horse is a symbol of a wealthy family, and ordinary Jianghu people can't buy such a war horse even if they have money.
Seeing that everyone stopped, the young man turned over his horse and ran towards everyone, and saw that everyone was about to draw their swords. Liu Zhixing Lu Lin had already recognized which teenager, and shouted happily: "Wen Shaoxia, don't come unharmed." ”
Pulling the reins tightly, lifting the hat, and looking at everyone, the young man's first words made everyone's faces whip. "General Liu, this is what General Lin asked me to give you, saying that you should go back to Beijing as soon as possible to inform the emperor that the Nanjing Daqi has been introduced to China. I don't know what happened, the military report has never been able to get out, and even Taohua Village was burned down by the Chu army. ”
There were some words written on the white cloth, and Liu Zhixing could see that it was indeed Lin Zhong's words. I just don't understand why I write in blood, and I have to turn the horse's head when my face changes suddenly. Wen Xiaoming continued: "General Lin said that you should enter Beijing as soon as possible and not return. ”
Liu Zhixing still asked: "You said that Peach Blossom Village was burned by Chu Jun, then Uncle Yulian Ji and them." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zhixing, who was a little dazed in his eyes, immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wen Xiaoming's shirt and shouted, "How are they?"
Wen Xiaoming, who had tears in his eyes, said: "Uncle Ji was killed by the Chu army, and the entire Peach Blossom Village doesn't know if there are any other people alive. Sister He Wen's sister lives in the Lu family now, so there should be nothing wrong. They told me to come to you first and tell you these things. ”
Wen Xiaoming, who had already seen that his eyes were bloodshot, swallowed a pitch black, obviously not sleeping for several days. Lu Lin said: "Xiao Ming, what you said is true. ”
Wen Xiaoming said: "Yes, they are all in your house now. This sentence made Lu Lin a little surprised, how could Wen Xiaoming know the master. What is the relationship to live at home, although the Lu family is not a stingy family, it is not everyone who can live.
Liu Zhixing, who didn't have time to ask, clenched the cloth tightly, he could not believe Wen Xiaoming's words. But I can't help but believe these words, but for so long since there has been no news. Lu Lin was a little shocked and wanted to say something, Wen Xiaoming continued: "Sister Wen said that you should come over and pick them up early. ”
Liu Zhixing asked, "What did Yulian say?" At least now that he knew that Yulian Xiuwen was still alive, he asked anxiously.
Wen Xiaoming said: "My sister said that you should take back Peach Blossom Village, where is home." ”
Frowning and looking at Wen Xiaoming, who was red-eyed, he saw the young man put on his hat again and said, "My words have been brought, and I will be in Lu Mansion for a long time." "Ride away.
Leaving everyone unable to believe the words of the young man's mouth, the battle that had just ended was even worse than the last time. The 200,000 Chu army arrived at Daliang Nanjing, and even broke through a pass. The most terrifying thing is that the news of such a big war could not be transmitted, and it was obviously instigated by someone behind it.
Everyone didn't look at the teenager who was gone, and the nature of the game was swept away. Driving the horses towards the Taiping City, it was already time for the sun to set in the afternoon. Thirteen fast horses broke into the city gate from the south gate and galloped all the way towards the Lu State Mansion. It is customary to see teenagers riding horses on the street, and these teenagers are quite good. At least not on the bazaar, and not much on the ordinary road. Especially the young man who is the leader, this city may not be able to bear to be a government order, but it will not be unaware of these unscrupulous teenagers. Liu Zhixing, one of the four sons of Taiping, has not seen him for nearly a year, and he has calmed down a lot since he joined the army called Lin Zhong. Especially this year, the biggest scourge is only which Yang Gongzi is left, but this person rarely appears, and it is more of a place for wind flowers.
The prosperous Taiping City has not changed because of the intrusion of thirteen war horse boys, only there is movement and only some patrolling Wuhou. After learning that it was the second son of the Liu family, he had to give up, and if it was before, he could still be arrested and scolded. These rich children will also be taught with peace of mind, obedient to obedient, but never changed. Now which second son is wearing armor is obviously just coming home from the border pass, and he is a little anxious and can still bear it. Especially a few months ago, the Nanjing War made miraculous achievements, and even His Majesty personally praised it.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the streets are bustling with activity, and some large families pull horse-drawn carriages out of the city and walk towards special households. Every year, there will always be some New Year's items to the villagers, although it is just some simple food, it is also a kindness of the main family.
More than a dozen teenagers turned over and dismounted, and the leading teenager went home first. The debriefing will have to wait until tomorrow, especially now that the entire imperial court is on vacation. If it were not for the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, he would only be able to enter the palace after the fifteenth Kai Dynasty. It's just that this matter can't wait, and my father has risen from the position of the squire of the military department to the position of Shangshu because of the previous war. Now the movement of soldiers and horses in the world needs to be controlled by my father, and all events are managed.
From dismounting to entry, the other twelve people followed. There were a few people present at the Guogong Mansion who had seen it, and although they were curious, they could clearly distinguish the importance of it. Watching the second son go home, he immediately stepped forward to lead the horse by several servants. The young steward stepped forward to say hello and shouted to the inner courtyard: "The second son has gone home." ”
Liu Zhixing asked, "Uncle Wang's father is in the house." "The second son, who has always been most afraid of his father, didn't meet his grandmother, who liked him the most, but actually went to see the master, a little curious. just replied that he was in the study, and heard Liu Zhixing say that he wanted to arrange for this brother in the army to go to see his father.
As soon as he walked outside the study, a middle-aged man in a black regular uniform held his hands behind and watched his son stride in armor. His eyes were full of pride, and he was a hero since ancient times. Now his son can be given the title of barracks by His Majesty himself, which has never happened in decades. Now the commander of the 3,000 cavalry army, how can he not be proud as a father. Because this matter has been outrageous in the entire military department, whenever people talk about the matter of Nanjing, they have to come forward and say what a hero their youngest son is. It seems that the eldest son was not so happy when he served as a palace guard, and it is also Liu Zhiming who has been obedient since he was a child and was cultivated as a prince. Only this youngest son has talent and has acted arbitrarily, and the reputation of the fourth prince of Taiping alone makes the old man unable to raise his head in the aristocratic circle.
As for the other people, no one dared to say anything except Lin Zhong, and the biggest topic was Liu Zhixing. Lin Zhong is not the eldest grandson of the Lin family, let alone the main lineage of the Lin family, but the third son of the first lineage. Father and mother are not in Taiping City, no one can say, Yang Chen is the future prince of Tianshui King, who dares to say, as for the little son who knows that the birth is even more extraordinary, all the black cauldron has come to his son, which really makes the old man unable to raise his head.
Seeing his son kneeling down on one knee in armor, he shouted heavily, "Father." ”
The old man in a high position looked at his son and seemed to have grown a lot taller, but before he went out, he was still white and clean, and now it is a lot darker and stronger. The old man picked up his son and patted him a few times and said, "I have grown taller, and I am much taller than my father." ”
Liu Zhixing had never seen his father smile at him, and he said with some weakness in his heart: "Can my father enter the palace now?" ”
Knowing that His Majesty's amnesty of thirteen people can enter the palace at this time, there is no other reason just to see them. In the final analysis, it is because of the status of the national prince, if someone else wants to get involved in the case of Nanjing's great achievements, it would be fine. In fact, because the Lin family has the identity of the emperor's relatives and relatives, it is really difficult to be in charge of the Changfeng Army, and Liu Zhixing's great work is the first step to change the southern mirror. The second step has already started, Wu Peng was transferred from the north to the south to disrupt the stable position in the army, and the older the current emperor is, the more complicated his thoughts become.
The old man said, "I can't do it today, since I go home, I have a good rest for a day, and it's not too late to go tomorrow."
said loudly: "Father, this is given to me by Lin Zhongtuo, and there is another big war in Nanjing." The 200,000 Chu soldiers had already broken into the country in the early morning, and they were very anxious that several news had not come out in a row. ”
Looking at the military newspaper seen above, I can also see Lin Zhong's status in the army over the years. I still like which kid in my heart.,After all, it's my son's playmate.。 He patted his son lightly on the shoulder and said, "You got the news later." ”
Liu Zhixing answered truthfully, but saw that his father did not look anxious at all. A prince actually pulled his son to sit on the steps, and the mother from afar showed a faint smile, this was the first time I saw Zhixing and his father talk calmly.
Then the doubts in my heart finally calmed down, as the secretary of the military department, how could I rest at home if there was no peace. It turned out that the Chu army came very fast and went fast, and it was necessary to let Wu Peng, who died outside the Fenyang military town. As a generation of marshals, he closed the city gate and did not enter, until he died in battle. The corpse was hung in the Chu army camp and no one was allowed to rescue him, worthy of being the commander of Changfeng, and Liu Zhixing was also ashamed of his original thoughts.
