Chapter 146 Ling Ping returns
Chapter 146
Su Qingtan has been running around with Ling Qinglan for the past two days, and he has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. waited until he was free, and learned that Su Li had become the legendary lecturer in Punfu.
And Qi Xianqing ...... It turned out to be an emperor!
Even though Su Qingtan had tried his best to guess Qi Xianqing's identity, he was still shocked by the word "emperor", and at the same time, he was also happy for Su Li, with the blessing of the identity of the lecturer in the Pangfu, he didn't have to worry about his second sister being bullied after leaving Yunjing.
"It's okay today, you go back first, get ready."
After changing into official clothes, Su Qingtan came to Dali Temple, but found that Ling Qinglan was dressed in civilian clothes today, with a faint smile.
"Prepare what?" Su Qingtan looked confused.
"I forgot to tell you that today is the day when General Ling Ping's squad returned to the court, and General Ling repelled the army of the Southern Xinjiang State this time, and made great achievements. His Majesty the Emperor is going to hold a banquet for him, just tonight. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know Master Chen Gong, don't miss it. ”
Ling Qinglan carefully reminded that he knew that the person Su Qingtan admired was the cool official who had been honest all his life, so he deliberately took it out and said, "Moreover, there will definitely be a lot of family daughters present tonight, and you are also of the age of marriage, why don't you go and take a look?" ”
Su Qingtan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart You are four years older than me, why don't you marry a wife and have children?
However, hearing that Lord Chen Gong also went, Su Qingtan also had the idea of going to have a look, and by the way, let Su Li also go over to see the world, and go to such occasions as Su Li's current identity, but he was not looked down upon.
Watching Ling Qinglan leave with a light humming tune, Su Qingtan secretly wondered, it was obviously that Ling Ping Major General who won the battle, why Ling Qinglan was so happy as if he had won the battle, he really didn't understand.
Near noon, the figure of the returning army finally appeared at the gate of the city, walking on the horse in front, Ling Ping was dressed in armor and his face was cold. As soon as he entered the city, it aroused the warm cheers of the people of Yunjing City!
"Welcome General Ling's return from a great victory!"
"General Ling!"
"General Ling......"
The fanatical people who came came to the ground one after another, and the shouts were like a tidal wave to hear the hearts of the soldiers entering the city, and their eyes were moist, as if they felt that the blood and sweat left behind by the battle on the battlefield had been answered.
Ling Ping was expressionless, and his heart was also as calm as water, even a little annoyed.
Since he led the army, he has been winning battles, never defeated, and some people even say that he is a grandfather, but a natural god of war!
But only he knows that every time he wins inexplicably, and sometimes even when his defeat is revealed, he will wake up the next day to find that the enemy army has suddenly become vulnerable.
This time, it's the same.
He was clearly defeated by the army of the southern Xinjiang country, because the difference in numbers was too great, but the next day he didn't know how to do it, the enemy army was collectively poisoned and weak, and he was killed by the small army led by him.
It's okay to say once or twice, but he has fought dozens of battles in the army for several years, and each time he is like a god, which makes him understand that there is a very powerful unknown force secretly helping him.
But the Ling family is now lonely, there is no alliance, and the Wu family is still incompatible, he has repeatedly encountered plots in the army, all of them are under the hands of the Wu family, and in the end they were all rescued, but he has never seen the face of the person who saved him, and he doesn't even know whether it is a man or a woman.
This matter has always been a secret in Ling Ping's heart, and he has never even said it to his mother and grandmother.
"Madame, old lady! The second young master is back!! ”
"Second Young Master is back!"
During his contemplation, Ling Ping's horse had stopped at the gate of the Ling Mansion, and at this moment, the lights were lit up in front of the Ling Mansion, and the subordinates who were waiting in front of the door saw Ling Ping, and immediately shouted happily while reporting inside.
He hadn't gone home for more than half a year, Ling Ping's eyes couldn't stop being excited, he took off his helmet and threw it to the lieutenant general, and then quickly entered the house. After walking a few steps, I saw my mother walking quickly with my grandmother, and both of them had joy and excitement on their faces.
"Mother! Grandmother! ”
Ling Ping shouted, strode over, and knelt down with a thud, "The child has never disappointed his father and grandfather, and he has returned with a great victory!" ”
"Good boy, get up!"
Gu Taijun was in tears, holding Ling Ping tightly with both hands, Qiu Meng was also wiping tears on the side, there were only two men left in the family, and one was crippled, Ling Ping went to the battlefield, God knows how worried they were!
"Ping'er, I'm afraid you're very tired all the way, go in and take a shower and change your clothes to rest. If you have anything to say, my mother and I are here, and it's not too late to talk about it when you're rested! ”
Qiu Meng wiped the ashes on Ling Ping's face, and looked distressed, "Pity my son, he is only twenty years old, and he has to bear the burden of the Ling family." ”
"Mother, I'm not tired!"
Feeling the care of his loved ones, Ling Ping's heart was warm, as if the fatigue on the road had been swept away, and he smiled warmly: "I haven't entered the palace yet!" When I come back, I'll talk to my mother about things at home, right...... What about the younger brother? Why didn't I see him. ”
Gu Taijun's face turned dark when he heard this, and he slammed his crutches hard, "That little bastard, he went out with the little fat man of the Tang family in the morning, and there is no shadow until now, it is really getting more and more unpleasant!" Since you, the elder brother, have come back, discipline him well! ”
Ling Ping smiled when he heard this, and he didn't feel lost, "It's good to be happy with my brother, as long as he doesn't do anything hurtful to heaven and reason, I can't talk about him." It is not a blessing that this life has been spent so peacefully. ”
Gu Taijun's face was full of helplessness, the two brothers have had a good relationship since childhood, and now that Ling Ping has grown up, she has her own ideas, she can't care about it.
After bathing and changing clothes, Ling Ping changed into the official mansion, sat in a sedan chair and entered the palace, and the routine reward had been won many times, so that he was excited from the beginning, and now his heart has no fluctuations, and he is extremely calm.
The emperor also seemed to see that Ling Ping was tired, so he let him go after laughing, and only instructed him to hold a banquet for him in the water pavilion in the south of the city in the evening, and he must be there.
"Ah......hh Grandma, be light, your grandson's ears are going to fall off! ”
Returning to Ling's mansion, Ling Ping finally heard Ling Li's familiar and exaggerated voice, and saw that the kid was pulled by his grandmother's ears and howled, he couldn't help laughing, and walked over and said, "Grandma, if you don't let go, my brother's ears are really going to fall off." ”
Gu Taijun snorted angrily, put down Ling Li, and scolded pointedly: "Look at your own brother, he went to Yanliu Lane when he was only sixteen years old, and he was covered in the smell of rouge powder, why did my Ling family have such a little bastard like you, you are really angry!" ”
As soon as Ling Ping heard this, it turned out that during the time he entered the palace, his grandmother specially sent someone out to find Ling Li, and finally found him in the alley of the Qinglou.
"Grandma, don't talk about him, I'll teach him a lesson!"
Ling Ping pushed away the wheelchair with one hand, and quickly slipped away with Ling Li, making Gu Taijun jump to his feet in anger.
"Hahaha, second brother, haven't you seen the oiran of the red rouge, she looks so beautiful, I will definitely take you to see it when I go back!"
In the courtyard, Ling Ping watched Ling Xian put down the wine and food and retreat away, his eyes flashed with amazement, he didn't expect this girl to be seen for more than half a year, and she was so smart, and it was really embarrassing for her second brother to follow him.
Reaching out to straighten Ling Li's hair crown, Ling Li, as before, reached out and tapped Ling Li's knee, and asked softly, "Still no response?" ”
Ling Li shook his head indifferently, and said lazily: "Second brother, how many years have you been here, aren't you annoyed if you still come to this set?" ”
Ling Ping's breath trembled slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "Old habits, I can't change them." Maybe your second brother knocks like this, God can really hear it and let you recover. ”
A faint light flashed in Ling Li's eyes, but he said with a smile in his mouth: "God has opened his eyes?" Why didn't I see it, if it really had eyes, my Ling family would be like this? ”
Ling Ping was speechless, only a wry smile.
There was a moment of silence between the brothers, and Ling Ping suddenly said, "I'll take you to the banquet in the evening." You're not too young, it's time to ......."
"Don't, don't!"
Ling Li immediately interrupted and said repeatedly: "That's the blind date arranged by the emperor Lao'er for you, why should I get involved?" Besides, I still want to live happily for a few years, and I'll talk about it later when I get married or something! ”
"You can see through it."
Ling Ping smiled, the outside world said that his younger brother was a big man, not only his legs were crippled, but his brain was also not good. often causes trouble for the Ling Mansion, and only when he is talking and laughing with the second brother will he realize that the second brother is not really a gentleman, but he is already crippled, and he seems to have no other way to choose except for his life.
The Ling family's generations of military generals, if the second brother is allowed to follow the text, it will undoubtedly be an insult.
"But second brother, I heard Tang Fat Man say that the one named Su Li is very beautiful! You must leave it to my brother, and if there are other doglegs who take a fancy to him, you must let me know! ”
Ling Li smirked as he spoke, as if he had thought of something extremely beautiful.
Ling Ping couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "I just came back, and you want to make trouble for me?" I heard that Su Li has an extraordinary background, and he must be like Wu Xiuxiu, otherwise no matter how much I love you kid, I will never help you speak this time! ”
Ling Li shrank his neck and said with a smile: "Knowing the second brother, where do I still have that guts, it really scared me back then." Actually, I wasn't ready to touch that Wu Xiuxiu, it was that Wu Xiuxiu who automatically drilled into my arms, alas...... I've said this many times, but if you don't believe it, forget it. ”
Ling Li waved his hand and let Ling Ping leave.
Ling Ping shook his head slightly, turned around and left the courtyard. This silly boy...... Of course he believes that the second brother is not a fool, how can he not know what the consequences of insulting Wu Xiuxiu will be, but who makes the second brother's image of a gentleman deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he can only eat coptis dumbly, and he can't say anything about his suffering.
"It's the Wu family, in order to deal with my Ling family, they have always done everything, and even the reputation of their own daughter can be sacrificed."
Ling Ping sneered a few times, the people of the Wu family will return tonight, he wants to see what new tricks there are.
……
In the courtyard, the smile on Ling Li's face gradually faded, and only after Ling Xian confirmed that Ling Ping had left at the door did he get up from his wheelchair and return to the study.
At this moment, Ling Mo, who was dressed in black, was sitting quietly in the room, closing his eyes and sitting quietly, breathing as if he were nothing. Ling Ping was laughing with Ling Li in the courtyard, but he didn't even notice him.
Sensing Ling Li coming in, Ling Mo opened his eyes and stood up, and replied respectfully: "Qinglan's information is good, I led people to destroy the small stronghold of the Corpse Refining Sect, seized a large number of cartilage scatter, and scattered into the army of the Southern Frontier State, so that Ling Ping could turn defeat into victory." ”
"The second brother has had doubts all these years, and he has been silent, it's really difficult for him." Ling Li took Ling Mo's handwritten book, spread it out and glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile, "Qinglan, this kid, is even a shopkeeper, and he really wants to train Su Qingtan as a successor." ”
Ling Mo couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "...... of his injuries?"
Ling Li snorted coldly, "Most of the time something went wrong, and they still didn't tell me." He thought that his Ling Qinglan's life was his own, and he was ready to leave it? ”
Ling Mo's face tightened, "Young Master......"
Ling Li waved his hand and smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, that kid can't die for the time being, there is a divine doctor from Yunjing." ”
