That night, after leaving the Dangshan Army, Zhao Hongrun and his party camped under a high slope not far from the Dangshan Army, because Zhao Hongrun observed the reaction of the Dangshan Army in this regard.

I remember that when I set out from the Qingyang tribe, Wuwu and those Qingyang people brought a lot of mutton, which tasted quite delicious after roasting, but because of his mood, Zhao Hongrun felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax.

He stood alone on the high slope, looking at the military camp of the Dangshan Army in the distance, while thinking back to the before and after when he confronted Sima An in the tent of the Dangshan Army Marshal in the evening.

"That's a great thing to say......

After a long time, Zhao Hongrun let out a long sigh and smiled with a bit of self-deprecation.

Only he himself knew that after he left the handsome tent of the Dangshan Army, his heart was still pounding.

It seems as if he suppressed Sima An, but perhaps only he knows best: if he continues to stay in Sima An's handsome tent, I am afraid that the courage in his heart of "no hesitation" will quickly disappear under Sima An's gloomy face and gloomy eyes.

"Ji Run."

At this time, a voice came from behind Zhao Hongrun.

Because the other party's words are very clear, Zhao Hongrun recognized the other party's identity at once.

"Mi Jiang...... Don't you want to rest? ”

"It's still early." Mi Jiang slowly walked up the high slope, also looked at the Dangshan military camp in the distance, and said expressionlessly: "Do you like that little girl of the Dangshan tribe very much?" ”

When Zhao Hongrun heard this, his expression was inevitably a little embarrassed, and he asked in confusion: "Una?" Why do you ask? ”

I saw Mi Jiang pause slightly, and said, "If it weren't for her, why would you risk it yourself?" …… Threatening a powerful general in front of you, aren't you afraid that Sima An will be unfavorable to you? ”

Zhao Hongrun turned his head when he heard this, and stared at Mi Jiang in confusion for a while. He immediately smiled with relief: "I know, it seems that you don't know 'Zongwei'." After saying that, he turned his head to look at the barracks of the Dangshan Army and said softly: "Sima An may have a lot of vices, but there is only one point. I don't doubt it, that's his loyalty to his father. …… It's like Shen Yu, Lu Mu, and Mu Qing around me, when I have children in the future, and if I offend them, they won't harm my children no matter what, even if the latter is not successful......"

"Children......

Mi Jiang was slightly distracted when he heard this, but he recovered in a blink of an eye, frowned and asked, "Why are you so sure?" Notice. People change. ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice of denial came from not far away.

"People will change, but Zongwei's sense of identity with the Zongfu and his loyalty to the prince will never change."

"......" Mi Jiang turned his head, just in time to see Shen Yu, the head of the sect's guard, holding a wooden plate containing roast mutton, and slowly walked to this side.

I saw that under the gaze of Mi Jiang, Shen Yu served the roast mutton to Zhao Hongrun. Good words persuaded: "Your Highness, whether General Sima An is willing to be soft or not. His Highness is looking ahead and looking backward at this moment, and it is useless...... This was baked by Una herself for Her Highness. ”

"You guy......" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Shen Yu helplessly, took the roast mutton, and asked casually, "What about Una?" ”

I saw Shen Yu shrug his shoulders and said with a smile: "Una originally brought it in person, but that guy Mu Qing said that His Highness wanted to be quiet and think carefully about the things during the day." Therefore, Una entrusted the lowly officer. ”

"It's Mu Qing......" Zhao Hongrun nodded, and didn't mind the dirt on the ground, sitting on the ground and eating the mutton.

At this time, Shen Yu turned his head to look at Mi Jiang. Continuing with the topic of Fang Cai.

"Miss Mi Jiang, you don't know Zongwei, so you will have doubts in your heart." After that, Shen Yu thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Take the humble position as an example, my father was also a soldier, and he was a member of the Shunshui Army......

"Shunshui Army? Isn't that the third uncle......

Zhao Hongrun, who was gnawing on mutton, was stunned when he heard this, looked at Shen Yu in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Is it the third uncle's Shunshui army?" ”

"Ah, it's the Shunshui Army." Shen Yu nodded and said bitterly: "I've been hiding it for a long time, I'm really sorry, Your Highness." ”

Looking at Shen Yu's bitter expression, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This king doesn't mean anything else, Shen Yu." …… Besides, it's been so long, you don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded gratefully.

From the side, Mi Jiang asked puzzled when he saw this: "Shunshui Army?" What happened to the Shunshui Army? Why don't you 'have to worry about it'? ”

Shen Yu let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Shunshui Army...... It's the rebels! ”

"Rebel ......" Qi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun incredulously, and his eyes seemed to say, "You keep the son of a soldier who once betrayed the country by your side?"

Probably noticing this look of Mi Jiang, Zhao Hongrun explained with a wry smile: "The Shunshui Army is not the kind of rebel army you imagined, they are just ......"

As he spoke, Zhao Hongrun briefly explained to Mi Jiang the turmoil that occurred when the "King of Jing" Zhao Yuanzuo and his father Zhao Hongrun competed for the throne, and emphasized that the Shunshui Army was just "an army that assisted in seizing the heir but was judged to be a rebel by the imperial court and the Son of Heaven after being defeated", not "the army that betrayed the Wei State".

Therefore, the fault is not in the Shunshui Army, but in the "King Jing" Zhao Yuanzuo at that time.

Obviously, Zhao Hongrun said these words not only to Qi Jiang, but also to Shen Yu.

By the way, in fact, in Zhao Hongrun's heart, he didn't think that Zhao Yuanzuo's third uncle was at fault at the beginning, after all, the battle for the throne was originally cruel.

"Oh." Mi Jiang nodded, and finally understood what kind of rebel army the Shunshui Army was, and immediately asked Shen Yu curiously: "And your father is a soldier of the Shunshui Army?" ”

"Well, it's said to be an uncle." Shen Yu nodded, and then said melancholy: "I was only seven years old at the time, and because of my father's position in the Shunshui Army, my family was quite wealthy. But suddenly one day, the family could not receive his father's military salary, and the mother went to ask the local land security to know, it turned out that the Shunshui army, which launched a rebellion but was defeated by the Yu Wang army, has been judged by the imperial court to be a rebel, and the imperial court ordered the military department to stop the pension and military salary for the families of the Shunshui soldiers...... In the past, I relied on my father's military salary to live, but after losing my father's military salary, it was really a difficult time. ”

"And then?" Mi Jiang asked.

Shen Yu sighed and said with emotion: "Not long after the incident, my mother was too sad, because of heart disease, and she had no money for treatment, and she passed away a few months later. Later, I took my brother, who was two years younger than me, to my uncle. However, my uncle also has two sons and a daughter in his family, and after adopting my two brothers, the family has ...... It's tough. Speaking of this, he changed his tone and continued: "And at this time, the Zongfu sent Yu Linlang to take me and my brother to the Zongfu ......."

"I said, there were almost no wars in Great Wei in those years, why are there still orphans of military families who have been adopted by the Zongfu, and they are the heirs of the two armies of the Shunshui Army and the Yuwang Army......

Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized on the side, after all, there were some private affairs of the sect guards, which even he didn't know.

"I remember when I first arrived at the Zongfu, Master Zongzheng ...... Oh, Lord Zongzheng at that time was not His Royal Highness's second uncle, but His Royal Highness's third uncle......" Shen Yu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hongrun.

"Third Uncle......

Zhao Hongrun had the image of an old man chattering endlessly in his mind, and quickly shook his head and put it behind, and said with a disgusted face: "I have suffered a lot of crimes, the first day." ”

Shen Yu grinned when he heard this, and said with emotion: "Yes, at that time, more than 200 people stood in the school yard of the Zongfu and listened to the old Zongzheng chattering...... cough, I taught earnestly for a long time, and I have almost forgotten what I said after many years, but the old Zongzheng's sentence "In the future, the Zongfu will be your home, and you will be the destination", I still remember it today. …… The food in Zongfu was quite good, and there was meat at every meal, so rich that we boys couldn't stuff it at that time. However, the training of the Zongfu is also quite hard, I still remember that when the rooster crows, our group of people have to get up, run around the school yard, and then have to learn how to use weapons such as knives, guns, sticks, etc., and the slightly older Zongwei also have to learn to ride horses and learn the art of war...... Those of us who have reached the age of fifteen, if we have outstanding grades, we will be sent to the side of the princes of the East Palace, King Yong, King Xiang, King Yan, King Qing and other princes as guards; Those who wish to enlist in the army can choose any of the "Sixth Battalion" army except the "Suiyang Army", and those who do not want to enlist in the army can also choose the local county seat to join the Weirong Army, that is, the county soldiers responsible for public security and anti-theft. …… There are also some Zongwei who have excellent grades, but are slightly inferior to their peers and were brushed down, were selected to join the Yulin Army......"

For half an hour, Shen Yu, with a sense of identity on his face, introduced the Zongwei system implemented by the Zongfu to Mi Jiang in detail.

At the end of his life, he solemnly told Mi Jiang that the Zongwei who had been strictly and carefully taught by the Zongfu since childhood would never betray the Zongfu, because for these Zongwei who were born alone, the Zongfu represented their sweat and memories for at least ten years, their home, and their home.

"......" Mi Jiang looked at Shen Yu, who was a little excited, and was quite speechless.

Because she felt that talking about 'Zongwei loyalty' with a person from Zongwei was simply boring.

This group of people seems to have a kind of fanatical faith.

"Haven't you seen it in the Chu Kingdom? It looks like this kind of ...... from our Great Wei Sect Mansion Brainwashing education.'"

Secretly glanced at Mi Jiang, and seeing that the latter's expression was a little depressed, Zhao Hongrun secretly smiled.

At this moment, Zongwei Lu Mu hurriedly walked over, walked to Zhao Hongrun's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, General Sima An asks to see Your Highness." …… He only brought with him a general named Bai Fangming. ”

"Finally...... Good!'

Zhao Hongrun only felt excited, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

Thinking about it, I also know that since Sima An is willing to come alone to ask him Zhao Hongrun, this means that this proud general is finally willing to soften.

But then again, the reason why he, Zhao Hongrun, stayed here was nothing more than waiting for Sima An.

"Please!"

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
