Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo and mobilized the 12th Army on the left and right.

There will be no problem with a million-strong army to push off a small country.

Is Zheng Yanqing afraid of war?

No way! If he was afraid of war, he would not have calmly fought a bloody battle with the bandits during the battle of the White Bird Temple.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to refuse because he is afraid of war.

But if it weren't for this, what was the reason why he wanted to refuse this opportunity to earn military merit? Zheng Yanqing has no way to explain, because the things involved in this are too complicated. Moreover, he also knew that Zheng Shi'an must have spent a lot of money to win it this time. If there is no suitable answer, I am afraid that Zheng Shi'an will not be able to be persuaded to do so.

"I just feel ashamed that I haven't done my filial piety under my grandfather's knees in the past two years. So ......"

Zheng Shi'an waved his hand and said: "Do your filial piety on your knees, and you will have more opportunities in the future." However, this military feat, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again. Yanqing, don't be a child, your filial piety, grandpa naturally understands. But nothing else matters compared to your future.

Besides, the land of Goguryeo's projectiles, destroying the country, is just a matter of raising a hand.

Maybe it won't be long before you're back triumphant. At that time, if you do your filial piety, your grandfather will be happier in her heart. That's it, don't say anything more. You rest at home for a few days, go to Xingyang on September 15, and when the time comes, you will be together with the children of the clan, and you will be pulled out as soon as possible. Don't miss time...... I heard that the general who came here is a man of great military discipline, and he will never delay the military aircraft for your sake. ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Yanqing agreed obediently on the surface, but his heart was extremely bitter.

You know it's a fire pit, but you have to jump into it? And if you have to take a group of little Zhengtai and Brother Gongzi to jump in, it will not only be a troublesome problem, but a living disaster.

For the Zheng family's sons-in-law, Yan Qing doesn't know a lot.

It can be said that in addition to Zheng Hongyi, others such as Zheng Xing and others, he has met twice at most, and some of them can't even be named.

However, he had heard some of Zheng Xing's deeds.

Zheng Xing is much older than Yan Qing, and he will be the age of Cheng Ding in two years, and he is nineteen years old this year.

As Zheng Yuanshou's eldest son, Zheng Xing is quite favored in the clan and is even cultivated by Zheng Yuanshou as an heir. His mother, that is, Zheng Yuanshou's wife, is one of the seven families with five surnames, the daughter of Fan Yang Lu's daughter-in-law, and was known for her fiery temper when she was not out of the cabinet in her early years.

is very doting on Zheng Xing, and will never tolerate the bullying of others.

Zheng Xing practiced martial arts with the samurai at home since he was a child, and at the age of fourteen, he entered the Shaolin Temple in Songshan to learn art for three years, and his martial arts were strong.

The surname is very unruly, in Xingyang County, and even in Guancheng, he is a well-known little overlord, and at the same time he is also the idol of countless teenagers in the clan.

Zheng Yanqing wants to partner with such a person?

When you think about it, you get a headache. Zheng Yanqing felt that his so-called earning military merits was just to be the nanny of these boys.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing had already felt extremely tricky before he met Zheng Xing.

After the banquet, Zheng Shi'an took Yanqing to the study alone.

After being an old lady for two years, Zheng Shi'an also began to learn to decorate the façade and placed a lot of books in the study. But looking at the new appearance of those books, you know that he has not read them. In fact, Zheng Shi'an is so old, and it is really difficult for him to read and study again. The book is placed there, which is an embellishment. Anyway, these books will be left for Yanqing to read in the future.

Zheng Shi'an asked Yan Qing to sit down, and on the wall next to the bookshelf, opened a dark compartment.

took out a set of clothes from inside, and there was a jade pendant on it, and then gently placed it in front of Zheng Yanqing.

Yan Qing was stunned, looked at Zheng Shi'an in surprise, and then lowered his head to look at Yu Pei.

Although fourteen years had passed, he could still recognize at a glance that the jade pendant was the longevity lock he wore when he was still in infancy.

Zheng Yanqing knew that it existed, but when he grew up, he never saw it.

He also knew that the longevity lock had been kept in Zheng Shi'an's hands, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse to ask Zheng Shi'an about his whereabouts.

"Grandpa, this is ......"

Yan Qing raised his head in surprise, looked at Zheng Shi'an and asked.

Although he knew the origin of these things, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be puzzled.

Zheng Shi'an smiled, sat down next to Zheng Yanqing, touched Zheng Yanqing's head with a rough palm, and then picked up the longevity lock.

There was a hint of remembrance in his eyes.

He said to himself: "It's been fourteen years, Yanqing, you have grown up Chengren, there are some things that grandpa must explain to you."

You're not grandpa's blood, and you must know that. When my grandfather and eldest man returned to Xingyang from Luoyang, they found that you were abandoned on the road, so they adopted you. This longevity lock is what you wore with you back then. ”

Zheng Yanqing subconsciously pulled Zheng Shi'an's sleeve.

Although I don't know who my parents are? But for the tragic battle that night, Zheng Yanqing still remembers it in his heart.

It's just that he didn't expect Zheng Shi'an to suddenly mention this matter.

Zheng Shi'an said: "This longevity lock is worth a lot of money, the old man said that it was made by a famous craftsman during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and those who can hold this kind of thing are either rich or expensive." You have been abandoned in the wilderness, I am afraid that something has happened to your family, and you have no choice but to do it. So, at first, the eldest lord didn't approve of my adoption of you. But I think it's always a small life, is it possible to watch you freeze to death?

Later, I took you away, and when I arrived at Bishui Pass, I asked around, but I didn't hear anything.

The biggest thing that year, one was the defeat of the Han king's expedition to Liaodong; The other is that Yu Wenyou's son was killed by He Ruobi in Luoyang.

You must already know about this. Originally, I thought there was a connection between you and Woo Moon Woo. But when I met Duoduo later, I realized that this was not the case. Over the years, I've been secretly inquiring, but there's still no information. Yanqing, you have grown up, and you will know these things sooner or later, so grandpa doesn't want to hide it from you. This time you will go on the expedition, grandpa thought about it, and decided to explain these things to you and return this longevity lock to you. Maybe one day you'll be able to reunite with your family, or not. ”

Zheng Yanqing held Zheng Shi'an's arm tightly and said softly: "Grandpa......"

"Yanqing, no matter whether you can find your biological parents in the future, in the eyes of grandpa, you will always be grandpa's good grandson. Grandpa also knows why you don't want to go on the expedition...... But is it because Zheng awakens them? In fact, this is also the result of everyone's discussion. Zheng Xing's martial arts are good, but his surname is a little reckless. The most important thing in this expedition is to seek a future for him. The big guy felt that someone needed to assist Zheng Xing, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while. That's why Grandpa thought of you...... In the past two years, you have lived in seclusion in Emei Mountain, on the one hand, to treat the little lady of the eldest grandson's family; On the other hand, I'm afraid there are also things that want to downplay the flowers. But two years is enough! If all eyes are on His Majesty's crusade today, I think you can take this opportunity to make a comeback.

Yan Qing, although you now have the title of Cloud Cavalry Captain, you have won it after all. Without enough martial arts, I'm afraid it's hard to be convincing. In the past two years, I have thought about it, and it is precisely for this reason that Your Majesty has always ignored you. If you have enough martial arts, Your Majesty will definitely use you greatly. So this time, you are clearly assisting Zheng Xing, but you still need to act at the opportunity, and if you can earn the credit yourself, don't give it to others. In short, take care of yourself first, and then think about other things. ”

Zheng Shi'an's painstaking preaching made Zheng Yanqing speechless.

He nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, grandson can save his heart!" ”

"It's best to save it, I'm afraid that you will have a hot head and do something stupid...... You kid, you're just so uncool. ”

Zheng Yanqing knew that when Zheng Shi'an said that he was stupid, he was referring to the attack on Baique Temple three years ago.

At that time, he had jade hooves to do his leg strength, and he had a lot of opportunities to escape. But he didn't leave, stayed and fought side by side with everyone. Zheng Shi'an has said Zheng Yanqing more than once about this matter. He didn't understand the morale of the army, nor did he understand Zheng Yanqing's thoughts at that time. Anyway, he just felt that Yan Qing stayed there to protect others, and he almost lost his life.

In Zheng Shi'an's eyes, Yanqing's surname and future are above all else.

Although three years have passed, when he mentioned this matter, his tone was indifferent. But Zheng Yanqing could still feel the strong concern from his words. I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, and held Zheng Shi'an's big hand tightly. Who his parents are is no longer important to him. The important thing is that he has a grandfather by his side who cares for him, loves him, and is willing to think about him, and this is enough.

In fact, no matter whether Zheng Shi'an returns the long-life lock to him or not, Yan Qing has already made up his mind in his heart, and he must send Zheng Shi'an to the end of his old age.

He said softly, "Grandpa, don't worry. ”

"Don't worry, rest assured, how can I put my mind at ease?"

Zheng Shi'an spoke, and locked his longevity around his neck for Yanqing.

Then he pulled Zheng Yanqing out of the study and into another room.

"Although I haven't asked too many clues about your background, I vaguely feel that you seem to be related to Yanhu, the master of the lance maker.

The day I picked you up was the day when Yanhu's family suffered misfortune. It's just that Yanhu seems to be single, and he doesn't have any heirs under his knees, so I don't know if you have anything to do with each other. I still remember that when you were born when you were ten years old, when Wang Zheng gave you a cross knife, he mentioned Yanhu. I actually wanted to talk to you at the time, but ...... Moreover, Yanhu's home is at the foot of Zhou Mountain, I really don't know why you appeared outside Bishui Pass. But from that day on, I began to inquire about all kinds of news about Yanhu for you. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Shi'an opened a wooden cabinet.

Inside the cabinet, there was only a horse lance about eight feet long.

The shape of the lance is quite similar to the heavy lance used in Yukura. It has the thickness of a child's arm, and the lance head is wider and heavier than that of ordinary horses. The palm-wide lance head has a chill in the forest, and the lance is made of high-quality wood, winding around a circle of silver wire.

"It's ......"

"You're going on an expedition, how can you have no lance in your hand?"

Zheng Shi'an said with a smile, reached out and took the horse lance from the cabinet and handed it to Zheng Yanqing.

"This is what I saw by chance in Tongyuan City when I left Luoyang last year. The big hammer said that this horse lance was made by Yanhu, and I immediately bought it as soon as I heard it. According to the person who sold the lance, it was originally a weapon of the famous general Shi Wansui during the Kaihuang period. After Shi Wansui was killed, his family property was confiscated. The person who sold the lance was the one who confiscated Shi Wansui's family property back then, and secretly kept it.

Regardless of whether you have anything to do with Yan Hu or not, just because this thing was made by him, I think it's worth taking.

Do you try it, do you want to take advantage of it? ”

Zheng Yanqing nodded, reached out and took the horse lance from Zheng Shi'an's hand. The way he holds the lance has become a habit, and as soon as he grasps the middle, he dances with the trend.

"Good lance!"

Yan Qing couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

It is worthy of the handwriting of the master of the lance, whether it is the feel of the lance or the uniformity of the force, it is different from the standard of the horse lance.

The portion is about 60 catties, and it is right together.

Yan Qing is only fourteen years old now, and he still needs to grow in terms of strength and physical development. Sun Simiao said that he could use weapons weighing 60 to 90 catties. However, when fighting, if you can save a penny, you can save a penny, and Yan Qing feels that this lance is just right for him now.

Zheng Shi'an saw that Yan Qing liked it, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face.

What else in this world can compare to what is bought, taking advantage of the grandchildren's wishes?

"In the next two days, you can do some more preparation and see what else you don't need."

As Zheng Shi'an spoke, he opened another cabinet.

There was a set of armor inside, and the size was exactly the size of Yanqing.

"This is the armor I asked Zheng Wei to buy from the south, the workmanship is fine, and it is not heavy to wear, but the protection is very good, so it will be used as your equipment for the expedition."

Yan Qing looked at Zheng Shi'an gratefully.

Although he is still reluctant to go on the expedition, he can't help but appreciate Zheng Shi'an's kindness.

He thought for a moment, "Grandpa, I still need a steel whip." ”

"Steel whip?" Zheng Shi'an thought for a while, "This can be discussed with your grandfather with a big hammer." That old man was born to strike iron! After moving here, he said that the water in Huoshan was good, so he built an iron furnace in the mountain. When he was fine, he walked over and forged twice.

I guess if I know how to build weapons for you, then I don't know how happy I will be. ”

Zheng Yanqing nodded, so he asked people to bring weapons and armor to his room, and talked to Zheng Shi'an for a while, and then went back to the room to rest.

The next day, he found the sledgehammer.

According to the style of the Yujuluo steel whip, please make a handle with a sledgehammer.

Yukuluo's steel whip, which is specially designed, weighs sixty pounds. A single whip can break a hard stone to pieces.

This weight is obviously a little inappropriate for Zheng Yanqing.

So the male sledgehammer experimented and set the weight of the steel whip at thirty-six catties.

He has a lot of things, not only to build a steel whip for Yanqing, but also to rebuild weapons for Xionghai. The axe built two years ago is obviously not suitable for the current Xionghai. The axe of the majestic sea must be on the top of 200 catties. The majestic sea of mixed yuan gong has entered the hall, and its strength has multiplied. One hundred and twenty pounds of axe in the right hand and ninety-eight pounds of axe in the left hand. And on Emei Mountain, he also practiced a unique job.

The monkeys of Emei Mountain are good at throwing things, and Xiong Dahai tried to throw stones with the monkeys on the mountain, and later under the inspiration of Yanqing, he began to practice flying axes. A five-pound small axe, within thirty steps, Xiong Dahai can do it without fail, and it is fast, accurate and ruthless, and the lethality is extremely strong.

Therefore, Sledgehammer is also ready to build twenty throwing axes for him to carry with him.

In addition, there are items such as armor. The weight of Xionghai itself is not light, and with a block of more than 200 catties, ordinary armor is naturally not suitable.

If it is built according to his body type, that set of Mingguang armor will cost dozens of catties.

Coupled with weapons and hidden weapons, the pressure on the mount is too great. Therefore, the male sledgehammer designed a set of armor, which only protects the main joints and vital points, adding up to only a dozen catties. After all, it takes ten days to build such a thing, which is not a small amount of work.

Fortunately, when Xiongdahammer left Luoyang and returned to Gongxian, some of his nephews also followed.

Most of these nephews worked in the Xiongji Iron Shop back then, so Xiongda Hammer has no shortage of helpers. Besides, Xiong Dahai is also a good forging, and with him, Xiong Da Hammer can be much easier. So on the same day, Xiong Da Hammer took his nephew and Xiong Dahai into the mountains to build weapons.

Yan Qing arranged things properly and began a leisurely and relaxed life.

He used the cross knife a little lightly and did not press his hands, but Shen Guang felt that it was just right.

So Yan Qing gave the cross knife to Shen Guang, which made Shen Guang very moved. His cross knife, although it is not a magic weapon, is also made by famous craftsmen in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is a bit excessive to sharpen iron like mud, but it is no exaggeration to kill people without seeing blood.

Shen Guang is good at small and light kung fu, and the cross knife is the most appetizing for him.

He was holding the cross knife all the time, the door was not out, and the second door was not stepping, and he said that he wanted to cultivate a relationship with the cross knife. Zheng Yanqing didn't bother to care about him, took Xiao Nian and two little mastiffs, or went into the mountains to enjoy the scenery, or accompanied Zheng Shi'an to Ciyun Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

This Ciyun Temple is also in Huoshan.

It was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was also the first batch of Buddhist temples in that year, almost the same history as the White Horse Temple.

The temple is dedicated to Sakyamuni, and the host is a monk from the Shaolin monk of Songshan. When the host heard Yanqing mention the name of Fashun, he suddenly showed respect. This made Zheng Shi'an also feel very radiant on his face. No matter where my grandson goes, he is brilliant. Even if you go to Minshu in the southwest, you can meet big shots! This joy added 100 incense money.

So Zheng Shi'an was happy, and the host was also very happy.

Yan Qing asked him about the situation of Shaolin Temple, and the host promised that he would definitely introduce him in the future.

Day by day, it passed quietly.

On this day, Zheng Yanqing and Zheng Shi'an boarded a small boat and rafted on the beautiful Yiluo River.

Mao Xiaonian sat on the side, cooking tea for the two of them, and the grandparents and grandchildren talked about a game. Yan Qing's chess power is not high, but Zheng Shi'an's chess power is not weak. Every time he saw Yan Qing's sad face, Zheng Shi'an couldn't help laughing. In his opinion, it was a great pleasure to be able to make his smart, almost demonic grandson feel sad.

A horse galloped from the direction of the Grange.

The person who sat upright immediately was none other than Dang Shijie.

He restrained his war horse on the bank of the river, made a trumpet shape with his hands, and shouted loudly: "Young master, the city soldier Cao, Xu Gongzi has come to visit." ”
