Chapter 39: Choice

The April sun is so warm.

I opened my eyes slightly, although it was already early summer, the weather was not hot at all, and the air still had the warmth of spring. I stretched out for a long time, and the gentle and soft bed exuded a faint fragrance of flowers, I really hadn't slept in a bed like this in a long time.

Wait, what is this place?

I immediately opened my eyes and looked around at this unfamiliar room, this is not my military tent in the Shenji Battalion, nor is it my room in the Ling family, the furnishings here look like a girl's boudoir, but on the screen next to the bed, there is a picture of the Spring Palace.

By the time I turned around and looked next to me, I was petrified.

On this bed, there was another girl, she lay there quietly, her green silk was messy, her eyes were slightly closed, and more importantly, she was naked, just like me.

I almost rolled out of bed! No, didn't I hold a banquet for the newly arrived Dengzhou prefect Song Yinglong at Li Guangzhong's mansion last night? How did you come to this place? This can't be a green house, right? Your sister, when did I get here?

I only remember that everyone was very drunk at last night's banquet, especially me, obviously I didn't know how to drink, but I desperately persuaded Song Yinglong to drink, and I started talking nonsense while drinking, and I can't remember what happened after that, which bastard dragged Lao Tzu here in this Nima.

Don't think about it, or hurry up, I crept off the bed, put on the underwear that was thrown aside, and then carefully began to get dressed.

Hurry up!

I made up my mind, I hurriedly dressed, and then came to the door lightly, but when I was about to go out, my heart was slightly paused, and I couldn't help but look back at the girl lying on the bed.

The girl's age doesn't look very old, at most seventeen or eighteen, with a delicate and lovely face, the corners of her mouth are slightly hooked, as if she is dreaming sweetly, not at all like falling into the dust, and there is still a little bit of red on the skin that can be blown and broken, which makes her very cute.

It's still a little beauty.,I didn't have any impression last night.,It's wasted.,But seriously.,If I really had a little consciousness.,I guess there won't be this situation.,I'll ask the bustard for a while.,What is this girl called?,If you can.,Redeem him.,It's also a merit.。

Thinking so, he opened the door lightly, and when he closed the door, the hanging heart in his heart finally let go.

I was really in the Qinglou, I saw the situation around me clearly, I was about to cry, my room was on the second floor, it was just morning, there were not many guests downstairs, but many of the guests who stayed overnight last night had already gotten up, upstairs on the second floor, there were still many guests and prostitutes-women laughing at each other, I even saw a few women wearing a small belly pocket and came out to see off the guests.

I hurriedly lowered my head, for fear of being seen by familiar people, you must know that when I was dealing with the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce with Yurou a few days ago, I had seen several very rich businessmen in Dengzhou, and if I met these businessmen, I wouldn't have to mix up my days in Dengzhou.

"Ziyun, you're awake!" Just as I was walking down the corridor like a rat crossing the street, a door next to me suddenly opened, and just when I was confused, Li Guangzhong walked out of the door with a woman wearing only underwear.

My whole body was petrified all at once.

Li Guangzhong did not shy away from making love to the woman in front of me, he kissed the slightly plump woman with his mouth, probably a regular customer of the woman, the woman immediately sprinkled in his arms, the woman looked like she was about twenty-three or four years old, not very beautiful, but the figure was really good, especially the pair of huge and tall on the chest, I was the first to see such a tall woman in this era. Looking at Li Guangzhong's face full of spring, I immediately understood which bastard brought me to this place last night.

"Be careful, I've got business to do! I'll come back to you in a few days, my nephew's girl, please take care of me! Li Guangzhong hugged the woman and smiled at the woman very obscenely.

"Got it, got it! You old and unserious, you have to come early, don't make me wait for ten days and half a month! The woman also smiled, then looked at me, who was standing aside and disgusted by their conversation, and said with a secret smile: "This little brother really can't see it, it's a powerful character, Fluttershy almost didn't break the roof of our Qin Pavilion last night!" Come back often in the future, and don't let our Fluttershy get sick! ”

No wonder the prostitutes and clients outside the door looked weird when I first went out, and my face immediately turned as red as a monkey's ass. This woman really doesn't know taboos when she speaks, and Li Guangzhong next to me patted me on the shoulder with a smile, with an expression of you kid, and then looked at the woman and said with a smile: "Okay, go back and put on your clothes, my old Li woman should be serious!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The woman smiled and threw a wink at Li Guangzhong, and then closed the door with a smile.

As soon as the door closed, Li Guangzhong looked at me with a wicked smile and said, "How is it?" The girl I introduced to you last night is good, that girl is the latest top brand of this Qin Pavilion, it is said to be as cold as frost, if it weren't for your young hero, people wouldn't want to **! You should remember this affection. ”

"Remember you pig!" I couldn't help but complain, and my face became hot: "Why did you bring me here, if you let Yurou know, she won't break my bones!" ”

"They know!" Li Guangzhong began to put on his coat with a relaxed face: "I told them after the banquet last night that I would bring you here!" ”

Something suddenly collapsed completely in my heart, now I don't have the face to see them, this damn Li Guangzhong, isn't it clear that you want me not to go back to the Ling family?

"You're relieved! Do they understand, men? There are always times when there is a need, and they are not married to you, so they can't control it. Besides, even if you get married, they can't control you! Li Guangzhong smiled and looked at me dumbfounded.

That's right, although it's normal to visit Qinglou in this era, but Nima, I'm a modern person, if I let Xinnan know, I guess I don't have to live, it's all this Li Guangzhong's victims, this Yuruo and Yurou didn't stop me last night, just watched me being taken away by Li Guangzhong.

Li Guangzhong fastened the belt that bound his clothes, looked at me with a tragic expression, patted his shoulder and comforted: "Oh, it's okay, Yuruo and Yurou won't mind, besides, this matter is also the beginning of me, who is a father-in-law, they won't mind!" Look at you, you didn't have a great time last night! ”

Play you big-headed ghost, I drank dizzy last night, I don't know what I did at all, looking at his face full of spring, I almost didn't kick him straight down from the upstairs. No matter how you say it, we are also Ming officials, is it really appropriate to visit the Qinglou so unscrupulously?

"As for that little fluttershy, I've already told the bustard here to wrap her up in your name, and as for whether you want to redeem her or not, just wait until you think about it and tell me, and Erniang will take care of her during this time! You can rest assured! "Li Guangzhong and I went downstairs one after the other.

"You're familiar with this place!" I looked at the decoration of the Qin Pavilion, the costumes here are really colorful, and there are colorful lights hanging everywhere, if it is at night, it will definitely illuminate this place as a gentle township.

Li Guangzhong laughed loudly and said: "I am really familiar with this place, I have been here for six or seven years, you say I am not familiar with it!" ”

Six or seven years, I went, how lustful this guy is, when this dead old man first met, he thought he was a decent gentleman, and the more he went to the back, the more he felt that this guy was the same as Ling Yun, how bad and how bad it was, no wonder the relationship between the two was so good, these two were simply carved out of a mold.

When I went downstairs, Li Guangzhong said a few words to a middle-aged woman who was dressed very gorgeously, and the woman looked at me and nodded again and again.

After that, Li Guangzhong and I went out surrounded by several women, Li Guangzhong laughed with these women, and then reluctantly went out.

It was about ten o'clock, and there were many fewer people on the street than in the morning, and I was glad that Li Guangzhong in front of me coughed lightly, and then turned around, and his face was no longer the smiling face he had just now, but a serious commander.

"Let's go for a walk!"

I nodded, not knowing what the old man was going to say to me.

"Yesterday, Bairan already told me about your conversation a few days ago!" Bairan is Song Yinglong's word, and when Li Guangzhong said this, my heart suddenly recalled the conversation with Song Yinglong in the Shenji Camp some time ago. "Do you know why Bairan was transferred out of the military department?"

Isn't it because he was close to the Donglin Party that he was hacked by Congzhe, the head of the court? I looked at Li Guangzhong suspiciously, not knowing what he meant by this.

"Bai Ran is arguably the only person in the court who advocates the use of troops against Jiannu, and even I don't understand, why did he do this? You must know that since the accession of the saint to the throne, the world has been repeatedly warned, and the treasury left by Zhang Juzheng has been exhausted. Although Nurhachi said that he had built a puppet country, he had always been not hostile to each other with the imperial court, which was also the original intention of the imperial court's reluctance to use troops against it! Li Guangzhong turned his head to look at me who was following him and said: "Only Bairan has been persuading up and down, asking for troops to crusade, but he was not welcomed by the Manchu court, and in the end, even the people from the military department did not want to see him, and was later impeached by the military department, and finally demoted to this point!" ”

I see, I let out a long sigh, no wonder Da Ming will always be even though Nurhachi, it turns out that he is not enough.

Li Guangzhong looked at me silently, and said slowly: "Ziyun, your insight is difficult for an old man like me to reach, I don't ask anything else, just ask one, Bai Ran regards these Tartars as opponents like this, is it right or not?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, Song Yinglong is right, if the Ming Dynasty can seriously send a large army to suppress Nurhachi when he just started his army, the rise of Nurhachi and Jurchen will really have to be postponed for a few years, if someone like Song Yinglong comes to lead the troops, Nurhachi estimates that it will be finished if it doesn't work.

Li Guangzhong nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "I also think so, the spark of the stars can still be the momentum of the prairie fire, not to mention that this Nurhachi is far from being as simple as the spark of the stars, and now the court despises this slave so much, I am afraid that he will have to pay a greater price in the future." ”

Just when I was silent, Li Guangzhong suddenly turned around and said to me seriously:

"I have written a letter in cursive, requesting to lead the Liaodong Iron Cavalry under my command to Liaodong, as for the matter of the Shenji Camp and Dengzhou, I will leave it to you!"

"Never!" I immediately remembered the scene in my dream and immediately walked behind Li Guangzhong. His sudden words made me a little overwhelmed, although he had an elite Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but I knew that he was facing a full 60,000 Eight Banner cavalry from Nurhachi, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of these Eight Banner Cavalry was not inferior to the well-trained Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

"At the beginning, Li Chengliang gave me this thousand cavalry to ask me to leave some seeds for him, but now it seems that he may have other intentions."

Li Guangzhong suddenly turned his head and looked at me with an anxious face, and the smile on his face became vicissitudes: "Ziyun, do you know why I have been lingering in the Qinglou since my wife died, and I have never been willing to get married?" Erniang is so good to me, I don't plan to marry her, do you know the reason? ”

I didn't expect Li Guangzhong and that woman to have such feelings, I didn't see it at all just now, thinking it was just the relationship between an ordinary guest and a prostitute.

Seeing me look at him, Li Guangzhong's smile was a little lonely: "It's not that I dislike Erniang's background, and it's not that I can't marry Erniang!" But because I am a military general of the Ming Dynasty, according to the current situation, sooner or later one day I will have to return to the battlefield, when the time comes, you live and die, there is no tomorrow today, maybe you will die on the battlefield that day, leaving only orphans and widows behind, and you can't feel at ease when you die. Rather than this, it is better to be alone, even if you unfortunately die in battle that day, there will not be much concern! ”

What kind of bullshit logic is this!

My heart is sour for no reason, no wonder this dead old man wants to run to the Qinglou, it turns out that his beloved is there.

"It's obviously reluctant, why do you have to say that?" I said coldly.

Li Guangzhong shook his head with a light smile and said: "Ziyun, I want to go to Liaodong this time, not only to fulfill the duties of my Ming courtier, but more importantly, to protect my beloved, whether it is Erniang or Yurou Yuruo, it is so!" ”

I know, I know, at the beginning, the purpose of training the Divine Machine Camp was just for fun, but now the purpose of training the Divine Machine Camp is to protect the city and the people in this city.

"I'll go," I said at once.

Li Guangzhong waved his hand to interrupt what I was about to say, looked at me very calmly and said: "Ziyun, you may be a genius, but genius also needs time to polish, and now you, the most important thing is to train the Divine Machine Battalion, not to fight!" Because sooner or later, you, like me, need to make the right choice! ”

The right choice? So what is the choice?

"Don't think about it anymore, I still have a lot of things to attend to before I leave, you kid is lucky! Don't let down Brother Lingyun and my hard work for you! The expression on Li Guangzhong's face still turned from gloomy to sunny, and the smile on his face seemed to be thinking of something happy.

"Let's go, come with me to Ling's Mansion, I'll help Brother Lingyun fulfill his wish!" Before I could react, I was dragged forward by Li Guangzhong.

What the hell is this old man trying to do?
