Section IX

After bidding farewell to a group of generals, Wu Ming turned around, and when he was about to get on the horse, he saw He Yizheng leading a large group of relatives to stand not far away to see him off, he hurriedly walked over, and said with a little blame: "Didn't you say okay, don't you use it to see you off today, why don't you listen."

He Yi has been in a high position for a long time, and he has honed his personality very calmly, and it is impossible for him to lose his temper like a little daughter. After just one night, she was calm and calm, and replied: "Brother Wu, you are my husband, I want to go on a campaign, I naturally want to see you off." ”

Hearing the word "husband", Wu Ming's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and was about to comfort his wife, when Wu Siting on the side shouted: "Daddy, are you going to leave again?" ”

Looking at his well-behaved and lovely son, Wu Ming couldn't help pinching his pink face: "Yes, Daddy went to fight the bad guys, and he came back after beating the bad guys." You are at home, you have to listen to your mother's words and listen to Mr. Zhou's words. ”

Although Zhou Zihong had recognized Wu Siting as a disciple, he had not yet had time to worship his teacher, so the two did not meet. But in order to let their son respect Zhou Zihong from the bottom of his heart, Wu Ming and his wife usually talk about Mr. Zhou's good in front of their son. Hearing his father mention Mr. Zhou, Wu Siting didn't resist, thought about it and said, "Daddy, the child doesn't want to follow Mr. Zhou, he wants to go with you." ”

Looking at his son's little face full of expectation, Wu Mingda was surprised, and couldn't help but say, "Why is this, Siting?" ”

The little guy has always been obedient in front of him, this is the first time he has raised objections to himself, Wu Ming is naturally a little curious.

Wu Siting pouted and said, "Daddy promised the child to keep some bad people and children to grow up and kill, but you killed them all." I learned words from Mr. Zhou, and I want to learn from my father to kill bad guys. ”

Wu Ming was speechless for a while, the child was still young, and it was not good to talk about Yunwen Yunwu, Wenwu and other big truths, but the child had the mind of emphasizing martial arts and light literature, but he was even more unavoidable, and he couldn't ignore it, he thought about it and said: "Siting, Daddy's ability to kill bad guys is written in a book, if you don't even know the words, how can you learn it well." ”

Wu Siting's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily: "Okay, the child understands, he must study and read hard." ”

After appeasing his wife and children, Wu Ming looked up, but saw Liu Hui standing behind He Yi in a green body, looking at himself and stopping to speak, and hurriedly said, "Xiaohui, is there something wrong?" ”

Probably because the identity was too different in the past, after getting married, although Liu Hui became much more generous, but in many cases, he still couldn't let go of seeing Wu Ming. As soon as she heard Wu Minglai ask, Liu Hui's face immediately turned red, and she said, "My lord, I made some jujube cakes, I hope you can eat them on the way." ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward and lifted the basket in her right hand, revealing a neatly stacked stack of jujube cakes inside, and the tempting fragrance suddenly spread.

Now it is summer, the team has to travel all the way through mountains and rivers, and has to pass through countless deserts and Gobi, and no matter how delicate the pastries are, they will definitely not be able to be preserved for a few days, but Wu Ming couldn't bear to brush Liu Hui's kindness, carefully wrapped several pieces in a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's really good, it looks like it's full of color and flavor, so I'll keep it for the road to eat." ”

Seeing that Wu Ming accepted the pastry presented by him, Liu Hui's eyes were full of affection, and the person became radiant, staring at Wu Ming for a moment with a pair of big eyes. Wu Ming was stared at unnaturally by her pair of crystal eyes, and couldn't help touching his face and said, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong?" ”

Liu Hui's face turned red again, and finally she mustered up the courage to say: "Big, lord, concubine, concubine is happy, you have to take care of yourself." ”

"What?!"

Wu Ming was shocked by her sudden words and almost fell to the ground. Among the four wives and concubines, although Zhu Yuqing stayed with him for the longest time, due to his weak body, he did nothing in the past few years. On the contrary, He Yi has many happy events, and now she is the mother of three children. However, Esther and Wu Ming got married earlier than Liu Hui, so she should have been happy first, but she didn't expect to be pulled out by Liu Hui.

This news is really good, especially when he said it when he went on the expedition, which made Wu Ming infinitely confident. So much so that when the team passed through Xiliang and officially entered the Western Land, Wu Ming still couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking about it, and couldn't help laughing.

Along the way, almost all of the team walked in the desert Gobi, and even after passing through the Kodir Desert and entering the three northwestern provinces, they were still mostly grasslands. Fortunately, after the integration of China, the West and the West, both sides vigorously suppressed bandits, rectified public order, and built plank roads, so although the distance was long, the team of 40,000 people was very packed, and the team traveled all the way, and it was only a month. When I arrived in the West, it was August, and it was the hottest time in the West, and the hot sun was shining on the head, almost drying off a layer of skin.

Wu Ming sat in the carriage and felt a little bored, he took out the piece of jujube cake from his arms, looked at it, but couldn't help but sigh. Xiaohui also has a child, so this little girl's status in the family will definitely be greatly improved in the future, and her restrained personality should also change a lot.

Among the four wives and concubines, his feelings for Liu Hui were not at all love, at most they could only be regarded as pity, but it was this pity that was slowly influenced, and finally changed into a kind of acceptance and unbearable harm. If you really want to say it, Wu Ming still has more pity than love for Liu Hui so far.

Because of her high skills, Esther is also eccentric, and she is also hot and bold. For Wu Ming, it is naturally a good companion for walking on the battlefield, after all, no matter how good Hei Er's skills are, at some times, it is always a little inconvenient, and it is impossible to be with him around the clock like Esther.

Even now, Wu Ming's heart is still filled with Zhu Yuqing and He Yi. Not only are the two exactly the same, but their status in their hearts is also half a catty, and even Wu Ming himself doesn't know who is more important in his heart.

He Yi doesn't need to say it, after all, after the battle of the Southern Expedition, she has shared hardships with her, and the relationship between the two has been tested by life and death, plus three children, it is naturally stronger than Jin.

And Zhu Yuqing?

Thinking of this, Wu Ming couldn't help but pause and looked up at the grassland in the distance. It was almost dusk, and the grasslands of the western land, under the reflection of the sunset, were dusk, the twilight was sinking in the west, the afterglow was gone, and the whole sky showed a clean blue. This woman is as pure and immaculate as the sky right now, giving a sense of serenity. Due to physical reasons, although she has no children, she has been with her the longest time and is the person who knows her best. If you really want to say it, then it is more appropriate to describe it as a confidant.

Forget it, no matter which is more serious, since these four women have become their wives, they can't bear to watch them hurt in the slightest.

Wu Ming smiled bitterly, thinking that when he first came to this world, he was still struggling with the monogamy system, and unconsciously, he was also three wives and four concubines, and he didn't feel that it was inappropriate at all.

He pinched a piece of jujube cake and put it between his fingers, and sighed again. People are subject to change, and most of the people who try to change this society by themselves are just lying words, and the final result is probably only changed by society, which can be regarded as proof of it. Along the way, how many of them have been pursued by themselves? And how many of them are involuntarily? I'm afraid I don't even know about myself.

He picked up a small piece of jujube cake and threw it in his mouth, but his thoughts flew towards the Yuchen Kingdom, which was getting closer and closer. Since you can't change the world too much, try your best to maintain those things that are worth protecting.

Father, the black-haired and red-hearted entrustment, I have never dared to forget, and I have never forgotten.

Now that the weather is hot, the jujube cake has been bumpy for more than a month, and it is said that it should have gone bad and rancid, but fortunately, Wu Ming had expected this, and after receiving a piece of Liu Hui's heart, he used his true qi to evaporate all the water in it, but despite this, at this time, when he threw it in his mouth, except for a little sweet and sour, it was still like chewing wax, but he ate it with relish. Just thinking about his thoughts, a scout rode at high speed from afar, dragging a long piece of dust and running and saying, "Report! ”

Wu Ming's heart tightened, and he couldn't care about his thoughts anymore, so he hurriedly put the jujube cake back into his arms, pulled the curtain and said, "Is there a movement of Persian people?" ”

Some small countries in the east of the West are mostly controlled by the He family, so the 40,000 troops in China and the West have marched, and they have not been embarrassed, nor dare to be embarrassed, Wu Ming's road has been smooth, after ten days of rapid marching, it is already close to the dust country here, and the whereabouts of the Persians are found, which is naturally reasonable.

The scout stopped in front of Wu Ming's car, kicked the saddle and dismounted, and said, "Yes, golden stool and traces of camels and horses were found ahead. ”

Although there are many countries in the West, there is no sign of it, and the scouts are like dung, and it is almost impossible to guess that it is left by the Persians. The fact that the Persians have besieged Yuchen for more than a month and still have not advanced an inch shows that this place is almost close to the battlefield, otherwise the scouts would not have discovered it.

No matter who it is, it is not a good kind that leaves this trace, and it cannot be underestimated. Wu Ming said: "Tell the whole army to stop and ask General Yang to come over." ”

Not long after, the No. 2 person in the Chinese and Western Army, Yang Yi, the general of Jingyuan, came to the Chinese army on horseback. Wu Ming had already gotten off the car and rode on his horse, and Yang Yi saluted and said, "Grandpa, I heard that the enemy was found in front?" ”

"There are traces of camels and horses ahead, and there are more elephants, it stands to reason that we are almost at our destination, but the Persians have surrounded Yu Chen, how easy is it for us to gallop to help? I'm afraid that the enemy will set up an ambush in front of me, so I wonder what good strategy General Yang can have to break the enemy? ”

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "Returning to Grandpa, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, now the enemy situation is unknown, it is too early to draw conclusions, and the subordinates should build yì, or send scouts to reconnoiter in detail, and wait until the enemy's troop deployment is found out, and then make a conclusion is the best policy." ”
