The sun has taken its last rays. 【Fengyun Reading Network】

The Yangtze River, which was still golden red before, instantly went black, and I couldn't see anything in front of me, and the turbulent river in my ears couldn't stop slapping the side of the boat.

It was a big ship, and in the darkness someone shouted: "It's night, drop sail, drop anchor!" ”

There was a jolt under his feet, and the ship stopped.

At this time, there was a sudden light in front of me, and several small boats were rowing quickly. Then the lantern hanging on the bow of the ship can be seen, and everyone on the ship is dressed as military men, shouting: "Who is coming?" ”

Looking at their clothes and the numbers on the lanterns, they are the guards of the inspection department who set up the cards.

The lights of the big ship were lit up at the same time, and someone replied, "It's the ship of the Nanjing Xinguo Mansion." ”

"It turned out to be the ship of the Shinkoku Mansion, let's go!" At the sound of an order, several small boats walked clean in an instant.

Tang Wenxing stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes were a little uncomfortable for a while because of the dazzling lights.

He stood in the bow of the boat and let the river breeze blow his body. It was already completely dark, but he didn't want to go back to the cabin for half a day to sleep. It was already the beginning of summer, and the boat had absorbed enough heat from the sun after a day of sunbathing, but by night it was completely emitted, and the heat in the small cabin was so frustrating that it was frustrating.

As soon as he thought of going back to that little black room to rest, Tang Wenxing resisted for a while.

At noon, he left Nanjing, sailed down the river for three hours, and now he has arrived in Yizhen. According to his father's arrangement, he will be able to go to Beijing in a month at most and take up the post of Jingying Zhenfu, which can be regarded as a serious senior official in the military circles and a general in command of the army. As a concubine, to be able to come this far, to be able to achieve meritorious deeds right away, can be regarded as complete.

As soon as he thought of the expressions of everyone in the palace when the commendation of the imperial court was sent to the Xinguo Mansion today, Tang Wenxing couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, and that scene appeared in front of him again.

When he was in Sizhou, the wounds on his body had been completely inflamed, his whole brain seemed to be burned by a high fever, and he was sometimes awake and sometimes confused. In a brief moment of wakefulness, he also vaguely knew that he was afraid that he would not survive this time and would die in the hospital bed.

The husband is for the country and the people, and the horse leather shroud is returned, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of his wishes.

Father, Tang Wenxing is not ashamed of you. I believe that the son of Guogong was born to be a hero on the battlefield. The son in Sizhou was involved in opposing Zhang Er and Huanglong, defending this big city for General Sun, and capturing the high thief Yingxiang alive, would you be proud of your son? Do you cry when you see your son's corpse?

Probably not, I'm just the product of a drunken mess of yours. Although you don't say it, the son can see the doubt in your eyes, and you suspect that the son is not your blood. After all, the mother ...... Mother, she wasn't the only man before you...... However, my son knew that I was the blood and blood of the Duke of Xinguo, and my son could feel the iron and blood in his blood when he went to the battlefield...... The son is going to die this time, father, look at it, look at these wounds on the son's body, can't you see that I am the heir of the true Xinguo Gong?

Mother! It's a pity...... It's a pity that my son died, but I can't earn a life for you, and I don't have a chance again!

……

Thinking of this, Tang Wenxing's heart was full of pride and sadness, tears poured out like spring water, his head tilted, and he fainted.

It's strange to say, when he came to his senses again, the high fever on his body subsided, and his strength returned.

"You can't die like this?" Looking at the purulent wounds all over his body, Tang Wenxing was dumbfounded: "Could it be that my name has been forgotten by King Yama, or is there no my name on the book of life and death?" ”

After a few more days, Tang Wenxing was able to walk around on the ground, but his body was still weak and he had no strength. Remembering the agreement between Sun Yuan and himself, he couldn't stay in Sizhou any longer, so he hired a carriage and went back to Nanjing.

After returning to Nanjing, Tang Wenxing was already in shape, with a beard full of stubble, and his body was very dirty. His life and death, the family didn't care, seeing him so embarrassed, no one even came to ask him what was wrong.

Tang Wenxing's status in the mansion was lower than that of a slave, and he had long been accustomed to the snubbing of his family. didn't say much, he returned to the courtyard where he lived, shrunk in the small dark house and silently recuperated from his injuries, waiting for the day when Sun Yuan sent someone to pick him up and go to Ningxiang.

It can be seen that Sun Yuan values himself very much. Otherwise, it is impossible to make it clear to himself that after Tang Wen arrives at the Ningxiang Army, he will start with a pawn first----- this is to make him familiar with the Ningxiang Army from beginning to end.

For Sun Yuan, Tang Wenxing was grateful. The most important thing for him now is to take care of his body and serve the country in the future.

Now, the thief army has been almost defeated, and the world is about to be peaceful. But at this time, the Jiannu in the northeast went to establish a country brazenly, the country name was Qing, and the yuan was changed to Chongde. There is no other day, such a rebellion, naturally it cannot be tolerated. It is conceivable that in the future, the imperial court will inevitably use troops against Liaodong.

Tang Wenxing has already seen that the Ming army has been completely rotten by now, and Sun Yuan's Ningxiang army is afraid that it is the only strong army that can compete with Hou Jin Jiannu. In the future, the Ningxiang Army will definitely be transferred to the Northeast Battlefield.

A manly man, making meritorious contributions, is also at the right time.

But the diet of the Guogong Mansion is really bad, and no one in the mansion takes him, the third son, seriously. There are only two bowls of brown rice per meal, and a few moldy dried vegetables are placed on top of them.

Tang Wenxing didn't take it to heart, and he didn't complain in his mouth, he just silently pulled the rice and swallowed it all into his stomach.

As the wound healed day by day, the strength in his body gradually returned.

When he was fine, he lay on the bed in the courtyard basking in the sun, scratching lice, looking at Gao Tianyun, and recalling the iron-clad battle in Chuzhou.

"I'm about to get moldy!" He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

On this day, he was recuperating in the courtyard as usual, when suddenly, there was a loud sound of firecrackers and noise in the house.

A subordinate from the house ran in happily: "Third son, great joy, great joy!" I didn't expect that the third prince had made such a great contribution in Chuzhou, and our Hefu was full of resentment. Grandpa Guo asked the villain to come and invite you to meet the guests! ”

Tang Wenxing stood up abruptly and asked urgently, "But Ningxiang sent someone?" There was a tremor in his voice.

"No, no, no." The man shook his head and smiled: "It is the person who commended the third prince from the imperial court, saying that the third prince has made great contributions on the battlefield and has been rewarded by the imperial court. Third prince, you are the first person to receive the imperial court martial arts in our Xinguo Mansion for more than a hundred years. Grandpa Guo is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, and asks you to go over and meet him immediately. ”
