Chapter 895: Ten Years of Hardship, Wind, Snow and Frost (4)
In the whimper of the cold wind, lanterns lit up one after another in the corridor and under the eaves under the small building.
The orange lights lit a few lights, illuminating the dim courtyard, Tan'er looked down from the railing with her arms crossed, and Ning Yi came up with a lantern: "When I first came, I felt that it was very similar to the small courtyard in Jiangning." ”
Tan'er was still a little puzzled, but laughed at this time: "What are you going to do?" ”
"What else can the two of you do, you just came, take you to see - I brought food." Ning Yi smiled, lifted the package again, and pushed open the door on the side.
The furnishings in the room are simple - it seems to be a woman's boudoir - there are tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and other things, maybe they have come to prepare before, there is not too much dust at this time, Ning Yi took out a brazier from under the table, pulled out the machete he brought with him, and cut the two benches in the room into firewood.
Tan'er looked at his movements and was funny, she hadn't seen Ning Yi behave so casually for many years, she took two steps forward and squatted down to help unpack her burden, and said, "This house is still someone else's, isn't it okay for you to mess around like this?" ”
"It's not good, so I didn't bring anyone else."
The knife skills learned by Hongti, watermelon and others are used to chop firewood smoothly, and the firewood branches are very neat, and a fire will be ignited after a while. The room seemed warm, and Tan'er opened her baggage and took out a pile of food from the small box inside: small pieces of steamed buns, marinated chicken wings, slices of meat, a few skewered meatballs, half of the fish, a few vegetables...... Two plates of side dishes that have been fried a long time ago, as well as wine......
She couldn't help but smile, when the family gathered, Ning Yi would occasionally form a round of barbecue, and under his research on food and drink, it still tasted good. It's just that in the past few years, the Huaxia army has not had enough supplies, and Ning Yi has set a food quota for everyone by example, even if he wants to save some meat for barbecue and eat it in a big bite, it often takes some time to accumulate, but Ning Yi is happy to do it.
Husbands and wives have been together for so many years, although there are days when they get together less and leave more, but they are already familiar with each other's pace. Tan'er placed the food and drinks on the round table in the room, and then looked around the room that was no longer decorated. The world outside looked dim, except for the courtyard where the lights below were soaked in a warm yellow.
Ning Yi took the fish slices and put them on the fire: "This house is quite like the one that burned down." ”
Tan'er turned her head: "It was burned by fire." ”
"yes." Ning Yi nodded.
"So familiar with this place, how many people have you brought to visit?"
"Not much, red grapes...... Juan'er ...... Xiao Hu and Xiao Zhang of the Secretariat...... Aunt Tian of the Women's Club, and ......" Ning Yi folded his hands in the light of the fire that was clearly extinguished, looking at Tan'er's eyes that were beginning to turn round but also mixed with a slight smile, and he couldn't help laughing, "Okay, it's just the last time I brought a red mention......"
"Why are you so happy to win a battle?" Tan'er said softly, "Don't get carried away." ”
"It's proud, it's not proud." Ning Yi sat on the stool and looked at the grilled fish in his hand, "In this battle with the Jurchens, there are many ideas, and you can be very heroic when mobilizing, and what you want in your heart is to break the kettle, but now, there is finally a development." The battle of Yushuixi gave Zong Han a hard blow, they will not retreat, and next, these guys who have troubled the world all their lives will gamble their lives in the southwest. Every time I like this, I want to get out of the whole situation and look at these things. ”
As he said this, the expression on his face was not smug, but solemn. Tan'er sat down, she is also a decision-maker who has gone through many major events, knowing that people are in the bureau, it is inevitable that they will not be sober enough because of the involvement of interests, Ning Yi's state, maybe she really withdrew herself from a higher place, and found something, her face became serious.
Ning Yi smiled: "I recently remembered that when I was in Jiangning, the building hadn't burned yet, and you sometimes ...... When we came back in the evening, we chatted together in the hallway outside. At that time, I should not have thought of the later events, the matter of Hangzhou Fangla, the matter of Liangshan, the matter of resisting Jin, and the matter of killing the emperor...... You want to do tricks, at most, in the future, you will become the helmsman of the Su family, and run the cloth shop well. Am I not counted...... Mess up your life? ”
"It's really unprepared...... Tan'er thought for a while, "especially after the rebellion, all the preparations in the first half of my life were empty, and then I was forced to go...... Before you killed the emperor, I also thought about a lot of plans for the Su family, after getting rid of the court, our family returned to Jiangning, experienced those major events, had a family and children, and there was nothing to be afraid of in the world. ”
"At that time." Thinking of this, Su Tan'er, who has been a housewife for more than ten years, has bright eyes, "...... Those thoughts are indeed some of the most grounded. ”
More than ten years ago, in the days before the killing of the king, although there were various problems in Beijing, as long as the problems were solved, after returning to Jiangning, everything would be settled. These are all planned ideas, Su Tan'er said this, and felt something, but she didn't understand Ning Yi's purpose for mentioning it. Ning Yi stretched out a hand and shook Tan'er's hand.
"Thank you." He said.
"Xianggong......" Tan'er hesitated slightly, "You ...... Remembering this? ”
"Over the years, the decisions I have made have changed many people's lives. Sometimes I can take care of some of them, and sometimes I don't have time for others. In fact, the impact on the family is more, your husband suddenly changed from a businessman to a rebel leader, Yunzhu Jin'er, I used to think about a stable life, these things are valuable. After killing Zhou Zhe, I went to the front, and you had to go up, there was no buffer period, more than ten years, and it was just like that. ”
Tan'er's face turned slightly red: "You actually ...... Needless to say......"
"I'm not sorry. There may be no more choices, but it's still a little regrettable......" Ning Yi smiled, "Think about it, if there is such a world, there are no Jurchens from the beginning, you may still be running the Su family now, I teach, I am lazy, I have nothing to do to see a group of fools writing poems at the party, and during the New Year's holidays, there are fire trees and silver flowers on the street, and fish and dragon dances all night...... It would be interesting to continue like that. ”
Ning Yi said this, Tan'er's eyes turned red: "You are ...... Come make me cry. ”
"It's almost the New Year, and it's interesting to think about these things when you were young."
Ning Yi barbecued the food in her hand, and noticed that her husband did come out with a sense of memory, and Tan'er finally put away the mood of talking about business, she helped Ning Yi bake something, and talked about the recent situation of the children at home. The two picked up their glasses at the round table and clinked glasses.
The day had quickly entered the boundary between night, and through the open door, a little light floated in the distance of the city, and the lanterns below the courtyard were swaying in the wind. Suddenly, there was a sound, like an overwhelming rain, but louder than the rain, and a crackling sound enveloped the house. The brazier in the room shook a few times, Ning Yi threw in the firewood, Tan'er got up and walked to the corridor outside, and then said, "The rice particles have fallen." ”
Ning Yi's eyes flashed, and then nodded: "In other places in the world, it has already snowed." ”
At this time, the Central Plains and Jiangnan have long been covered by heavy snow, only the Chengdu Plain, this year has been rainy and continuous, but it seems that the time has come. Tan'er returned to the room, and the couple ate and drank in front of the crackling snow, chatting about the day, interesting things at home, and gossip in the army.
Ning Yi talked about Xu Shaoyuan and Yong Jinrou:
"Xu Shaoyuan of the Secretariat is relatively wooden, and his ability to do things is still very strong. I fell in love with Yongfuzi's sister before, Yong Jinrou knows, she is in her early thirties, very beautiful, knowledgeable, and has been widowed for seven or eight years, and now she is a teacher in Hedeng, I heard that in the army, many people have taken a fancy to her, but it is useless to propose marriage to Yongfuzi, saying that she wants to choose her own ......"
Xu Shaoyuan fell in love with Yong Jinrou at first sight, but where did he know how to pick up girls, so he asked the guy from the General Staff to give him ideas. A group of neuropaths are not reliable, Zou Lie knows, right? said that I had more ideas, and secretly came over to inquire about the tone, and said how to please girls, how did I know that Xu Shaoyuan wanted to soak Yongjinrou, and told them a few stories of heroes saving beauty. Then Xu Shaoyuan went to Hedeng, and in three days, chickens flew and dogs jumped, from writing poems, to finding someone to pretend to be a hooligan, to pretending to be an internal injury, to confessing...... I almost used it strong...... was seen by Master Li, found a few female soldiers, and beat him......"
"After the fight, they came to me again to complain, saying that the people in the secretariat were hooligans. I went to ask, called Xu Shaoyuan out, and confronted Yong Jinrou, after the confrontation, I asked Xu Shaoyuan to make a sincere review in front of Yong Jinrou...... I also helped him sort out a sincere confession, of course, I didn't write it for him, I helped him sort out his mood and confess it again with a review...... Wife, I'm smart, Master Li was crying at the time, and he was so moved...... As a result, Yong Jinrou refused, tsk, it's really ......"
"Ten Movements...... Refuse......" Tan'er interjected, "what do you mean?" ”
"Very touched – and then turned him down."
"Is there such an idiom......"
"I invented it recently." Ning Yi smiled, "Then, I will ask the senior girl to help solve Yong Jinrou's emotional problems, she has a good relationship with Yong Jinrou, this inquiry, let me know one thing......
The couple were talking about these trivial things in the room, and they didn't know how long it took, the food was already cold, and they were slightly drunk, Ning Yi sat on the stool and looked at the snow particles outside, and said:
"Before the Battle of Yushuixi, the general idea of the Southwest Campaign was to hold on first and then wait for the other side to show flaws. After the battle of Yushuixi, Wanyan Zonghan was really the enemy in front of us, and the next idea was to use all means to crush his army and cut off his head - of course, this was also his idea. Ning Yi chuckled, "Thinking about it, I feel a little excited." ”
Tan'er turned her head to look at him, and then gradually understood.
She took his hand: "You don't want to be fine." ”
"Of course."
In the past ten years, starting from the small Su family in Jiangning, to the incident of the imperial merchants, to the danger of Hangzhou, to Liangshan, disaster relief, and the killing of kings...... For a long time, Ning Yi had a sense of alienation from many things. After killing the king, in the eyes of outsiders, he was more of a man who looked down on the world, and many people were not in his eyes - perhaps in the eyes of Li Pin and others, even the entire Wu Dynasty era, the glory of Confucianism, was not in his eyes.
When he was strong in the face of Western Xia and Jurchen, he would also put on a somewhat hypocritical and wrongful attitude, but that was just a formulaic approach.
In the face of Li Qianshun leading an army of 100,000, Ning Yi just said to the envoy sent "Chinese people, do not vote for foreign countries", and then crushed the entire Western Xia army.
After Yan Lou's room came to the northwest violently, Fan Hongji sent Lu Yannian and others to demonstrate, Ning Yi said to the Chinese soldiers: "The situation is stronger than people, be friendly." When the Lou Room approached Yanzhou, Ning Yi also said to the team, "From today on, the entire Huaxia army will wage war against the Jurchens." ”
After killing Lou Mur, there was no room for turnaround, the Jurchens fantasized about winning without a fight, and then came to persuade them to surrender, threatening to slaughter Xiaocang River into a mass grave, Ning Yi directly said that this would not be a mass grave, this would be a hundred mass graves, a million people in a grave.
When it is useful to show weakness, he will show weakness in words and some small strategies. But in terms of action, no matter who Ning Yi faces, he is extremely strong.
For a long time, Huaxia Army has been at a disadvantage in the face of the whole world, but in the heart of his husband, he has never been at a disadvantage, and he has great confidence in the future. In the Huaxia Army, this kind of confidence is also passed on layer by layer to the people who are doing things below.
In the face of Zong Han and Xi Yin's menacing southern expedition, the Huaxia Army was only solved as a "problem that needs to be solved" under the infection of Ning Yi's attitude. But at this moment after the Battle of Rainwater Creek, when Tan'er looked at Ning Yi, she finally saw a little nervousness in him, which was the activity and nervousness that the players in the competition field began to maintain before they came on the field.
From the perspective of the whole world, after Yan Agu was defeated, Zong Han and Xi Yin were indeed the most powerful and terrifying giants on the stage of the world, and for twenty or thirty years, no one could be their sharpest in the place they looked at. Over the years, the Huaxia Army has achieved some results, and many people have paid too much attention to it at the level of the entire world, but in front of Zong Han, Xi Yin and others, whether it is the Huaxia Army or the heart demon Ning Yi, they are always one or even two levels behind.
The other party is a demon king who can crush the world in a lifetime, and there is still a huge behemoth like the Wu Dynasty in the world, and the Huaxia Army is just a powerful weapon that gradually transforms into a country.
But at this moment, Ning Yi had a killing intent towards Zong Han. In Tan'er's eyes, if Zong Han is the most terrifying giant of this era, the husband in front of him finally stretched his muscles and bones, and wanted to meet the other party with the same giant attitude......
This image flashed through her mind, and the ice particles falling outside the window gradually became smaller.
The goose feather snow is about to fall, and the world is about to become what the Jurchens once familiarized......
