Chapter 19: The Secret Birth of a Ghost Fetus

According to Shi Zhan's orders, all the soldiers gathered on the school field at the beginning of the year, Shi Zhan shouted loudly: "Fellow soldiers, this expedition, we have lost our troops and lost our generals, everyone has worked hard, yesterday Your Majesty has rewarded, today, I still have something to give you."

Shi Zhan signaled to Li Chang, and Li Chang understood and ordered someone to carry up the gold and silver given by Shi Hu. When the soldiers saw so much gold and silver, they also exchanged heads and talked about it in private.

Li Chang said: "This is 10,000 gold given by His Majesty to the general, I think everyone has heard of it, and it can be regarded as a reward for the general's exploits in this battle." However, the general believes that this defeat of the Xianbei people depends on the unity of our people and the bloody struggle of all of you, so this credit is not the general alone, but every soldier present and those dead brothers! Although the general is our commander, he does not dare to live alone for this credit, so the general wants to give this 10,000 gold to you and the families of those dead brothers, do you think it is okay? ”

"Good! Good! Good! When the soldiers heard this, they raised their arms and shouted, they were happy not because they had money to take, but because their commanders were willing to share weal and woe with them, and did not forget the blood and sweat they shed in every battle.

"This 10,000 gold, divided into two parts, of which 3,000 gold, in exchange for food and coins, I will send someone to send to the families of the fallen soldiers, and the other 7,000 gold, all of which will be exchanged for coins, will be distributed according to your military exploits in this campaign, but I have a request for your brothers, you must give the money to your family when you go back to visit your relatives, and gambling is not allowed to be squandered.

"Obey the general's orders! Obey the general's orders! The soldiers shouted in unison.

Shi Min stood on the periphery, looking at the scene in front of him, he was deeply shocked. He didn't expect that his father, who was very serious at home in the army, would be so supported by all the soldiers, and these soldiers in front of him had just experienced a big battle not long ago, and their morale could be so high, which made Shi Min feel admired from the bottom of his heart.

Shi Zhan raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "This time, the class teacher will return to the court, and the soldiers will have a good rest, and from tomorrow, everyone will go back to visit relatives in batches, and by the way, help those brothers who are injured and can't go home, and bring back the money and letters." Bring your military badges on the road, so as not to be interrogated by the officers and soldiers along the way, and in addition, you must not pick quarrels and provoke trouble, cause trouble, do you hear clearly? ”

"Yes!"

"Go back to your post and continue training!" Li Chang shouted.

The soldiers dispersed one after another.

It was snowing, the wind was cold, and the pedestrians on the street were wrapped in thick clothes, shrunken hands and heads. The beggars on the side of the road are thinly clothed, hiding in the corners and shivering to beg for food.

The trees have withered, and at a glance, the whole world is covered in silver, white and connected to the horizon, and the occasional abrupt mountain is just a handful of fine sand in the white sea.

The fire in the house is burning with charcoal, and the whole house is warm and pleasant. Qin Wan stood quietly at the window, looking at the snow falling outside the window, thinking about Shi Min who was in the barracks at this time. Qin Laohan, who was lying on the bed, saw that his daughter was a little distraught, and he shook his head helplessly, his daughter has grown up, and there are some things that can't be stopped after all.

The deepest is not the human heart, and the most bitter is lovesickness.

Although Qin Wan suppressed her good feelings and affection for Shi Min in her heart, she couldn't help herself not to think about him. Sleepless nights, restlessness, that's about it.

At this time, Shi Min was still his halberd. He didn't miss the other party as much as Qin Wan did, because at this moment, in his heart, there was only Shi Zhan's military orders and the duties of a soldier.

Although Shi Min has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has excellent physical strength, the life in this military camp really makes him unaccustomed to it. Every time it was his turn to stand guard, no matter how windy or rainy, one stand was two hours, not moving at all, and he had to concentrate and not be distracted, because Shi Zhan was likely to kick him from behind at any time to see if he was absent-minded.

Due to the cold weather, King Qing Shizun also nested in the palace and did not go out, but this person did not go out, and his mind was not idle. Late one night, the street was already empty, and a figure quietly appeared at the back door of King Qing's mansion.

The man put on his cloak, looked around, and knocked lightly.

"Who?" A voice came from inside the door, low and cautious.

"It's me."

The door creaked open, and the cloaked man walked in, and the back door was shut.

"Commander Liu, His Highness is already waiting for you in the back hall." It was King Qing's butler who spoke.

And the one wearing the cloak is Liu Rong, the commander of the patrol battalion.

Liu Rong nodded silently, took off his cloak, handed it to the housekeeper, and then entered the back hall.

Liu Rong walked to the door of the side room in the back hall, saw that there were candles lit inside, and was about to knock on the door, when Shi Zun's voice came from inside the house: "No need to knock on the door, come in." ”

Hearing this, Liu Rong gently pushed open the door, and Shi Zunzheng was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand. Seeing Liu Rong coming in, Shi Zun gently put down the book and looked at Liu Rong with a smile.

Liu Rong gently closed the door, then turned around and knelt down to salute Shi Zun: "Your Highness is in a hurry to call for humiliation, I don't know what to send." ”

"Get up, call you over, naturally there is something to order."

"Yes......" Liu Rong got up and stood silently away.

"More than ten days ago, you came to tell me that Shi Zhan's son injured the people in your patrol camp in the street, and I wanted you to go to your father to report the matter, but now that I think about it, this king has a better idea."

"Then Shi Min's beating is over?" Liu Rong seemed a little unconvinced.

"Shi Min's beating of people can't make any waves in Your Majesty, even if Shi Min kills all your people, my father's temper is at most to scold Shi Min, it won't be good, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to intercede for him in front of Your Majesty."

"Then what is Your Highness's plan?"

"Shi Zhan is now in the middle of the court, a big celebrity in front of his father, and Shi Zhan is loyal to his father, if I want to win him over, or let him remain neutral, I must separate the relationship between him and my father, you can tell me, where is the scale between Shi Zhan and his father?"

Liu Rong scratched his head and replied with a wry smile: "Please forgive me for being ignorant, I really can't think of any contradictions between Shi Zhan and His Majesty that can be provoked." ”

"No matter how favored Shi Zhan is, in the final analysis, he is still a Han person, and we are a warrior of the Qian nationality, in the eyes of my father, the Han people are just inferior slaves, no different from cattle and sheep. And Shi Zhan has never interacted with us, and mostly seeks benefits for his fellow clansmen, just because we are not Han, now you understand, right? ”

"I probably understand what His Highness means, so I don't know if His Highness needs to do anything that needs to be humbled?"

"I heard yesterday that a few days ago, Shi Zhan gave his subordinates a reward of 10,000 gold from his father, and allowed those Han soldiers to go home to visit their relatives, I want you to create something to cause a conflict between Shi Zhan and his father, do you still need this king to teach you the rest?"

Liu Rong thought for a while, nodded silently and replied: "Your Highness, please rest assured, you already know what to do, you can wait for the good news at home." ”

"Do things cleanly, don't burn the fire to this king." Shi Zun said coldly.

"Understood!" Liu Rong laughed, and then asked, "I wonder if His Highness has any other orders?" ”

"No, if you do this well, this king will reward you heavily."

"Humble understand, you just wait for my good news, farewell." Liu Rong said and walked out of the side room.

Shi Zun stood up, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "The throne is mine, and none of you can think of it." ”

"Your Highness."

Shi Zun looked up and saw that it was his housekeeper, and then said, "You send someone to keep an eye on Shi Zhan's side, and report any news to me immediately." ”

"Yes......"
