If someone asked Shen Yun if he longed for the heroic pride of the battlefield, he would definitely answer, "Longing!" ”

But if you ask him again if he would like to go to the battlefield to face the enemy's sword soldiers, or even the horse leather shroud, he will definitely answer "No!" ”

Without him, there is no need for ears.

The Han Empire has the Imperial Forest Army and the Yulin Army, with nine standing first-class legions and fifty standing second-class legions, with a total strength of two million! There are also a staggering number of C-Class Corps and Reservists! An official of the Ministry of War once said that if the whole country is mobilized, in one year, the Han Dynasty will be able to organize and train 10 million combatable troops! This is still the premise of ensuring that the quality of the army can reach the level of the second-class corps! If the military system before the Holy Ancestor is restored, it will not be a problem for the Huanghuang Han Dynasty to provide 60 million troops with a population of 600 million!

Living in the Han Empire, which had such a large army, Shen Yun, as one of the nobles, really couldn't find a reason to go to the battlefield by himself.

Other people enlist in the army for no more than two reasons: first, to be able to eat enough and reduce the burden on their families; Second, there is no hope of inheriting the title, and I hope that I can make contributions in the army and glorify my ancestors. But these two points cannot be a reason for the Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty to give up his title and wear a green uniform.

Of course, the marquis's joining the army can also be said to be to share the worries of the monarch's father, and "those who commit crimes against strong men and heavenly might, although they are far away, will be punished" and other bold words. But these are all coaxing the people, for the nobles who have inherited the title, An An is stable in the rear to give advice, donate money and materials is the real worry for the monarch. Otherwise, if the enemy captures and kills the Marquis of the Han Dynasty on the battlefield, the morale of this blow is not enough to make up for it before - this is also one of the reasons why the Holy Ancestor set the rule, but all nobles who join the army must first find a good heir.

So after listening to Fang Cheng's words, Shen Yunzhen didn't know how to pick it up.

Go ahead, I really don't want to give up my current privileged life to fight life and death on the battlefield. Especially if it is not necessary to go on your own. Don't go, Fang Cheng is on the rise, saying this is tantamount to pouring cold water - for a moment, Shen Yun thought that Fang Cheng was possessed by the "Love Saint", and he actually wanted to be a soldier for the sake of a woman!

"Brother Teng Yu, is this your whim or final decision?" Under the flower stand, Shen Yun solemnly said to Fang Jiao.

It's evening at the moment, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the cool breeze is blowing under the flower stand, which is a good time to talk.

Fang Cheng also replied solemnly: "This is the final decision, and I have written home today." He made it clear to his father. ”

"Uncle Fang won't agree!" Shen Yun said simply, "You are the only son of the Fang family, your two elder brothers have died on the battlefield, you have three longs and two shorts, how can the Huainan Hou family inherit it?" ”

Fang Cheng's expression was gloomy for a moment. He raised his head again and said resolutely: "Yuanrang." I understand what you're saying. But if I don't go, I won't be able to pass this level in my heart......"

Shen Yun was anxious, and pointed to Master Li, who had brought a fruit bowl from a distance, and said, "You only think about Yan Ruyu, have you ever thought about Master Li's thoughts?" The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if something happens to you, what will you do if you let the teacher? ”

Master Li came over. Placing the fruit bowl on the stone table under the flower stand, he took out the soft cushion with his hand, knelt beside Fang Cheng, and said gently: "Master Hou doesn't have to blame Yulang. In fact, it was the concubine who encouraged Yurou to join the army! The eldest husband 'is born as a hero, and died as a ghost', isn't this a poem made by Hou Ye? Such an atmospheric and heroic party is my big man! If Yulang has an accident, the concubine will never live alone! ”

Shen Yun patted his thigh and shouted, "Oh, that's poetry, but now I'm going to fight, can this be the same?" You stupid woman, don't persuade your man not to say anything, and instigate him to die, you ......"

"Who said that joining the army this time is to send you to death? Could it be that the Hou Ye thinks that my Han can't level the Yue clan? Master Li suddenly asked rhetorically.

Shen Yun was stunned.

It's true, this time the Yue people are making such a big fuss, the empire will definitely send the most elite troops to quell the rebellion, and when the time comes, it will be the turn to get Fang Transcript's batch of recruits to go to the battlefield! That being said, it seems like a good choice to go to the army for gilding!

Shen Yun held his chin and pondered.

Fang Cheng happily touched the tips of Master Li's hair and said softly: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”

Master Li smiled gently at Fang Chen, and suddenly turned his head to Shen Yun and asked, "Dare to ask Master Hou, if it is Ruyue girl who is in the northwest at the moment, how will you choose?" ”

Shen Yun was stunned, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he muttered: "If she wants to go to the northwest, I will definitely fight for the title, and I will also stop her." If I can't stop it, I'll be like Teng Yu, trying my best to find her! ”

"That's it," Master Li said with a smile, "Hou Ye and Yu Lang are both affectionate and righteous Han men, so why bother with this anymore?!" ”

Shen Yun suddenly thought about it, since he was also such a person, why should he blame Fang Cheng? It's just that Master Li is a woman, and her man works hard for other women, so she is not jealous at all?

When Shen Yun put this question out, Master Li gave Shen Yun a very incomprehensible answer: "If Yulang doesn't do this for Miss Ruyu, then how can the concubine be sure that Yulang will do this for the concubine in the future?" Giving up the man you love for your own safety is not worth the lifetime of waiting for my Master Li! ”

This woman's heart is indeed proportional to the size of her breasts. Shen Yun secretly glanced at Master Li's bulging chest, and said secretly in his heart.

"It's decided, I'll go to Yanzhou in a few days." Fang Cheng slapped the soft chair and got up simply.

"Wait!" Shen Yun also stood up, looked at Fang Cheng and said with a smile: "Father and son soldiers, brothers in battle, if you want to go, I will accompany you through this experience!" ”

This time it was Fang Yun's turn to be stunned, looking at Shen Yun's eyes, he understood that this was not a whim of Shen Yun, but a real decision. For a while, he couldn't say anything, smiled indifferently, and punched Shen Yun in the chest: "Good brother!" ”

"Good brother!" Shen Yun also gave him a punch, and the two of them raised their arms and laughed.

The moonlight is sultry, the flower stands, the stone table, and the stunning beauty watching quietly, all of this looks so beautiful.

I only hope that this kind of beauty can last a lifetime, a lifetime!

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the river is murmuring, and the wind on both sides of the river is clear and the willows are moving. It's a sight to behold.

Along the long causeway on the riverside, Shen Yun and Yan Ruyue walked side by side.

"Yuan Rang, are you sure you want to apply for Zhaowu University?" The words of the moon are like the breeze in the river, with a hazy comfort.

"Hmm." Shen Yun replied softly, reaching out to take Ruyue's delicate little hand.

The hand in the palm of his hand was a little cold, and he seemed to be shaking a little. Shen Yun said as indifferently as possible: "Don't worry, I applied for Zhaowu University, but His Royal Highness Duke Hu is sacrificing wine, and with his old man here, do you still need to worry about my safety?" ”

"Hmm. I understand! But I'm still unconsciously worried! Yan Ruyue stopped, looked at Shen Yun's face in a daze, and said softly: "Yuan Rang, promise me that you must come back safely!" I didn't dare tell my family about my sister's trip to the northwest. This has made me extremely anxious, and now you have to abandon your pen again. I ...... in my heart," he said. Two tears have fallen from her beautiful eyes.

Shen Yun wiped it away in distress, stroked her beautiful cheek again, and said, "Fool, I haven't been to the battlefield yet, what are you worried about?" Perhaps, when I graduate from Shobu University. This battle in the northwest is over! I'll come back from the army and marry you no less, okay? ”

Speaking of this, Ruyue closed her eyes shyly, her long eyelashes still trembling slightly. said: "Bah, who wants to marry you!" ”

"You dare not marry me!" Shen Yun brutally pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear: "If you dare not marry me, I will go to your house every day to make trouble, hum, I am Sapohou, who am I afraid of?!" ”

Buried in Shen Yun's broad chest, Yan Ruyue closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she chirped intoxicatedly: "Scoundrel! ”

"Scoundrel, just rely on your scoundrel! You can't run away! You're mine! Shen Yun hugged her tighter, tighter......

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the lights are flickering, like the eyes of a lover, and more like the obsession of a lover. So beautiful.

Imperial Capital Ying Gong Annex.

Zhou Bo, the British duke who had just returned from the imperial city, took off his coat quite tiredly and stepped on the carpet in the study with his bare feet. Two men in strong clothes stood at the door, looking at the majestic Yinggong, and they didn't dare to come out.

"You came from Jinling in a hurry, what's the matter?" Ying Gong sat down behind the desk and asked tiredly.

One of them said: "The eldest lady asked the villain to send a message to His Highness, saying that the children of the clan want to apply for the military academy, please make a decision." ”

Ying Gong snorted and said, "Let them take the test, they in the province use the title of Ying Gong Mansion to swagger outside all day long." That Zhou Zhang is a lesson from the past, go back and tell Mrs., let her be sure to warn her children more, don't always think that the Jiangnan area is only the largest in our Yinggong Mansion, and one day someone was killed, but don't blame the old man for not saying ugly things in front. ”

Ying Gong has a bad tone and seems to be very disgusted with the arrogance of the children of the clan. After saying this, he let out a sigh of relief and said to the other person: "What about you? What's the matter? ”

The man was a little hesitant, but under the majesty of Ying Gong's glare, he quickly bent down and said tremblingly: "Tell Ying Gong, old lady, old lady let the villain come to pass the word, little miss she, she ......"

"Hui'er?" Ying Gong suddenly cheered up and asked, "What's wrong with Hui'er?" But sick? ”

"Nope!" The man seemed to have plucked up his courage, gritted his teeth and said in one breath: "The little lady disappeared a month ago, and the old lady didn't dare to send someone to report to His Highness at that time, for fear that His Highness would worry, until now that he has the whereabouts of the little miss, he let the villain come to tell him." ”

Yinggong, who listened to the first half of the paragraph, breathed a sigh of relief, and then relented, and scolded with a smile: "Where did that stupid girl go to play again?" Didn't get into trouble, did you? If you find it, let someone take it home and tell the old lady not to scold her too much! As he spoke, Ying Gong picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip.

mentioned Zhou Hui, Yinggong's face was full of doting love.

But at this moment, the subordinate continued: "Your Highness, the little lady is now, now in Yanzhou." ”

"Huh?" Ying Gong glared, "What is she doing on Hu Gong's territory?" ”

The man also seemed to be out of the way, closed his eyes and said loudly: "Little Miss has applied for Zhaowu University, and now she has entered the cavalry department!" It's already, already one of the female soldiers of the Empire! ”

"What?" Ying Gong stood up Huo Ran, the teacup on the table suddenly poured, and the hot tea suddenly emitted a thick heat, enveloping Ying Gong's angry face......

Imperial Palace, Jiaofang Palace, Luanfeng Pavilion.

There are ice cubes in the pavilion to dispel the heat, and the whole environment looks very cool.

The Jiaofang Hall is the queen's dormitory. Luanfeng Pavilion is a place where the emperor and empress often stay. But today, there were no women in the Luanfeng Pavilion, only four men.

On the main seat of Luanfeng Pavilion, the emperor glanced around majestically, and said in a loud voice: "In the northwest land, the dark guard must put down the eyeliner before the beginning of spring next year, and by March next year at the latest, the army will be mobilized, and then I will know everything about the rebels of the Yue clan." ”

Sitting at the bottom was the fierce and abnormal Yulin Secret Guard's supreme control dragon slayer and slaughter Xiaotian. And sitting across from him was the head of the household.

There were three of them, and as for the fourth man, he stood behind the emperor like a shadow. Never said a word. And forever hidden in the dark. When he first met this person, Gongfu Xiao still tried hard to see his face. No matter how you look at it. It seems to be all hazy.

This person will appear behind the emperor as long as he is in any part of the palace. And it is always a eunuch dressed up, bowing his head and shoulders, without saying a word.

Gongfu Xiao once asked Tu Xiaotian who this person was. Tu Xiaotian replied to him very seriously: "There are some things you shouldn't know, so never ask." ”

Since then. Gongfu Xiao didn't dare to ask again. However, for this person, Gongfu Xiao has always maintained a curiosity, and every time he is alone with the emperor, this person like the emperor's shadow appears. He'll look closely. But the more he looked at it, the more he found that this was an ordinary eunuch who couldn't see his face clearly, and his figure was very thin, but he was standing behind the emperor like that. And the emperor never seemed to know that he was there—anyway, he never saw what the emperor told him to do.

Tu Xiaotian saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the dark guards have all been dispatched, and they can be arranged without waiting for the beginning of spring, the only thing to worry about is the Romans." His Majesty has reported that in the battle of the Tarim River Valley, the people of the Roman Hades Palace were active in it, and it must be that the rebels of the Yue clan dared to raise troops this time, which is not unrelated to the Romans. ”

The emperor waved his hand lightly: "I already know about this, but Rome has not openly sent troops, and I can't say too much." If you are concerned about this matter, send more people to cut off the sickle. After saying this, he turned to Gongfu Xiao again, "There is a lot of trouble for Aiqing to be there." In addition, you ask Veteran Feng Ge to postpone the note of the defeat of this battle tomorrow and hand it in by a day. ”

The father-in-law said, "Oh." Your Majesty is worried that Elder Feng Ge will not be able to properly summarize the results of the defeat of this battle? ”

The Emperor sighed: "The Imperial Army has not fought in a hundred years, and the peace has been going on for a long time, and I am worried that they will not be able to see their shortcomings at all. In the battle of the Tarim River Valley, three successive commanders were killed on the spot, what is the reason? Could it be that a single sentence of 'the thief is powerful' can cover up the past? From my point of view, the problem lies with us. The Privy Council must take stock and reflect on it, and I don't want to see this happen again after next year's war! ”

"Whoa." The husband bowed his head and saluted.

After the matter was discussed, Tu Xiaotian and Gongfu Xiao were about to leave, at this time, Tu Xiaotian seemed to remember something, and bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing." His Majesty got the news today that the Marquis of Bohai and the Marquis of Huainan seem to want to abandon their pen and follow Rong and apply for Zhaowu University. Do you need to inform His Royal Highness Duke Hu about this? ”

The emperor was obviously stunned, and suddenly smiled: "Shen Yuan and Fang Tengyu gave up the pen and followed Rong?" Do you follow Banchao? Hehe, it would be good if the two of them could really enter the army and sharpen themselves. Let Hu Gong not be soft when he is assessed, and be stricter. ”

The emperor didn't take it seriously, he just said that he was a young man, and when he suffered hardship, he shouted that he wanted to quit. When the time comes, call him over to teach him a good lesson, and then use his experience in the army to give him some rewards and go home to enjoy happiness, and it is not in vain that he calls himself uncle.

In the year 1002, the night of July 25.

Tomorrow, Shen Yun and Fang Cheng will set off for Yanzhou, and in the back hall of Bohai Pharmacy, Yan Ruyue and Master Li are there.

It's still the flower stand, and it's become their favorite place to stay at night.

There is no moon tonight, and the night sky is as black as ink and dotted with stars. Leaning on the soft chair, through the lattice-shaped flower shed, you can clearly see the twinkling stars.

"Teng Yu and I are going to leave tomorrow, do you two women have any gifts to give each other?" Shen Yun quipped.

Master Li sat at the stone table, peeling the grape skins, and said with a smile: "The gift of the concubine has been given to Yulang, Ruyue, can you give it?" ”

"Oh? Is there really one? What is it? Shen Yun originally said it casually, but when he heard Master Li's words, he suddenly became interested, got up from the soft chair, walked behind Yan Ruyue, who was also sitting at the stone table peeling grapes, and said with a wicked smile.

Yan Ruyue peeled off a grape and sent it to Shen Yun's mouth, Shen Yun didn't count eating the grapes, and gently stuck out the tip of her tongue, sucking the fingertips of her white onion fingers, Yan Ruyue's heart trembled suddenly, she quickly withdrew her hand, her eyes rolled horizontally, and she laughed: "He is necrotic, so people don't have a gift for him!" ”

Master Li also sent the grapes into Fang Cheng's mouth, but he didn't notice the small movements of the two people over there, and just smiled: "Why not?" Yesterday, didn't the concubine see her sister embroidering brocade? ”

"Haha, the gifts are all known, Ruyue, hurry up and take them out and give them to your husband, right?"

Yan Ruyue blushed her cheeks and glared at Master Li complainingly, then she took out a brocade handkerchief from her arms, stuffed it into Shen Yun's arms, and said shamefully: "Now, here you go." I am not ashamed, and I insist on asking people to give gifts. ”

Shen Yun happily unfolded the Jinpa and said, "How can a man go to the battlefield without a gift from his lover?!" It is said that with this, you can turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious! Otherwise, I don't know where the arrows will fly one day......"

"Bah, don't say it!" Yan Ruyue suddenly stepped forward and covered Shen Yun's mouth, and said angrily: "Don't say anything unlucky." ”

Over there, Fang Cheng and Master Li laughed at the same time.

The parting is imminent, and everyone is just happy in suffering. Whether it is Yan Ruyue or Master Li, the eyes are like water, but the eyebrows are as tight as a mountain. Where the eyebrows and eyes are full, that touch of sadness can't be diluted......

Spreading out the brocade handkerchief, by the moonlight, Shen Yun clearly saw that what was embroidered on the brocade was a plum blossom leaning against the wall. There is also a small poem, revealing Yan Ruyue's strong reluctance and nostalgia.

"Don't send red notes to send Supa, if you interpret the language, you should know it.

After the spring breeze, it grows again.

Mo on the new branches, a swaying sideburns oblique.

If you see me pity Shaohua, the sound of cicadas is far away, the sound of frogs is near, through the window screen.

The willows and Bodhi flowers in the Western Regions, if you look at them all over the morning, you will return home.

Three or five nights, the number of surpluses and shortages.

Sitting alone and hugging the pipa, I went to Wanlisha at that time.

If you think of me, the wind and snow, the book is endless, and the love is hard to stop. ”

Shen Yun thought lightly, but felt that his eyes were slightly moist.

Fang Cheng and Master Li also seemed to be infected by the nostalgia in the words, and the two hugged each other gently, feeling the possession of the night before parting.

Yan Ruyue leaned on Shen Yun's ear, choked up and said softly: "When Lang Jun goes, he must always think that the concubine is still waiting at home, and don't let the concubine be alone and melancholy." This 'watching the sunset hand in hand in a dream, sharing the bright moon across the world', the concubine will never want to feel it! ”

"Hmmm! I promise, I will definitely be back! Shen Yun held Jinpa in the palm of his hand, hugged Yan Ruyue, who had a heart on his body, into his arms, and said firmly. (To be continued.) )

PS: Don't be long-winded, I'm still asking for votes! It's so ugly to push!

In addition, the next chapter "Feather Forest Army, Wings for the Country"
