Later, Xiao Yungui arranged for Jiang Guolin and Zhou Qibin to return to Shanghai with Huang Kaiguang and others on a naval ship later, first serving as a deputy under Tao Enpei, and then returning to Tianjing to receive inspection and intensive training from the Ministry of Officials after they were familiar with the political system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After Xiao Yungui encouraged the two of them a few words, he promised that the two would take their home in their hometown to the Taiping Army. Jiang Guolin is a native of Sichuan, and Zhou Qibin's hometown is Hubei, and the power of these two Bai Zetang is quite active, and it is relatively easy to get a few people out. Jiang Guolin and Zhou Qibin thanked them and left, and Wang Kai took the two to the dock to take a boat.

Soon after the two left, Hong Yun'er arrived with Xiao Youfu, and she was accompanied by her ten-year-old cheap son Xiao Youhe. Xiao Youfu was three years old, and he jumped into Xiao Yungui's arms, not afraid of Xiao Yungui's might at all, but Xiao Youhe was a little cowering, and only after the last bow to Xiao Yungui tremblingly bowed to Xiao Yungui at the signal of Hong Yun'er.

Xiao Yungui rubbed Xiao Youfu's little head with a smile, and then glanced at Xiao Youhe lightly, took out an official document in front of him, and insisted heavily on Xiao Youhe, staring at Xiao Youhe and asking sharply, "Who taught you?" ”

Xiao Youhe was startled, and fell to his knees with a pop, his bright eyes were full of tears, but he gritted his teeth and refused to cry, just kept kowtowing, and didn't even say a word. Hong Yun'er has always been a woman, although she doesn't like this cheap son either, but she can't bear to see him reprimanded like this, so she immediately picked up the official document. Squatted down and gently hugged Xiao Youhe, raised his head and said to Xiao Yungui, "What are you doing here?" Can't you talk well? ”

Xiao Yungui said with a cold face: "You see that he knows what to write to this king at a young age, and what to say to ask him to go to the Shanghai Military Academy to study." How old is he that he wants to go to military school? There is no one behind him to tell him what he is saying?! ”

Hong Yun'er said softly to Xiao Youhe: "Youhe, tell my mother, who gave you the idea?" ”

Xiao Youhe bit his lower lip with his teeth, knelt there and straightened up but didn't make a sound, Xiao Yungui was furious, picked up the teacup and fell to the ground. He shouted angrily: "Say! Who gave you the idea?! Xiao Yungui scared Xiao Youfu in his arms when he lowered his face just now, and this angry shout scared Xiao Youfu so much that he cried on the spot, Xiao Youfu ran over to find Hong Yun'er while crying. He choked up in his mouth: "Daddy, don't scold your brother ......"

Xiao Yungui waved his hand, Hong Yun'er hurriedly asked the female official next to her to coax Xiao Youfu to go down, and then Xiao Yungui asked coldly: "Don't you say yes?!" ”

Xiao Youhe raised his head. His eyes were full of grievances, unwillingness, grievances and shame. Then he lowered his head again, and said resolutely: "No one instructed me, it was the child himself who wanted to go to the military academy." ”

Xiao Yungui stood up and shouted again: "Don't you really say it? ”

Xiao Youhe still said firmly: "No one instructed it, it was the child who wanted to go by himself!" ”

Xiao Yungui glared at Xiao Youhe angrily for a moment, then turned his back, and after a while, he slowly sat down, pointed to the stone chair on the side and said, "Come and sit down and talk." Hong Yun'er hurriedly helped Xiao Youhe up. She noticed that the child was actually very scared, because his legs were a little limp.

Xiao Yungui said lightly: "Actually, you don't say it." I also know that the Dao was Li Zuoche's idea for you,"

Xiao Youhe's eyes widened and he was very surprised, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er both smiled in their hearts, although this child is tough and stubborn, he will not hide it, and he will admit it by looking at his expression.

Hong Yun'er gently stroked Xiao Youhe's back and said softly: "Youhe, you are the eldest son, and you are much older than Youfu, you should be more sensible." When you were born, you were just in time for your father and mother to lead the army to fight, and later came to Tianjing, when the situation was dangerous, you and Grandpa had to stay in Tianjing, do you know the way? ”

Xiao Youhe was comforted by his mother so softly for the first time, and the grievances in his heart suddenly broke out, and he fell into Hong Yun'er's arms and cried loudly.

After Xiao Yungui took him to cry, he looked at him and said gently: "You are a ten-year-old man, and you are still crying in your mother's arms, what is it like?" ”

Xiao Youhe's face flushed slightly when he heard this, wiped his tears with his sleeve, sat down and said, "The child remembers his father's teachings. ”

Xiao Yungui still kept a straight face, his tone softened a little, and said lightly: "It's good that you can insist on not saying Li Zuoche, don't betray your friends, you'd rather suffer it yourself, and you are a responsible person." It's okay if you want to go to a military school, but you can't show your identity when you go there, you can only train there as an ordinary person, can you do it? ”

Xiao Youhe nodded heavily and said, "The child will definitely be able to do it." ”

Xiao Yungui said again: "You think clearly for yourself, you can stay in the Xiwang Mansion and be the prince of the Xiwang comfortably, you can have no worries about food and clothing, and you can live a peaceful life." If you go to a military academy, you don't have any privileges, the training of the youth league over there is very hard, and it takes six or seven years to graduate. ”

Xiao Youhe still said firmly: "The child thinks very clearly, he must go to the military school." ”

Xiao Yungui snorted, nodded and said, "Then you can go, don't cry and come back again!" ”

Xiao Youhe stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er a few times and said, "The child will not give up halfway, please rest assured." ”

Xiao Yungui hummed and said: "Go back and clean up, bring some simple things and leave, everything will be new at the military academy, and you can catch up with the Zihuo who went back to Shanghai for renovation, remember that your identity is only known by Li Kaifang of the Ministry of War and Wang Minyun, the political secretary of the Shanghai Army, and others, no one at the military academy knows your identity, and everything depends on you when you get there." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yungui stopped talking, and Hong Yun'er called the female official to take Xiao Youhe down to prepare.

Xiao Youhe glanced at Xiao Yungui in a complicated mood, and after the most reluctant, he still bowed a few more times before he strode out of the ego without hesitation.

After Hong Yun'er saw Xiao Youhe leave, she sighed softly: "Agui, do you think we are treating this child too badly?" After all, he is also a child of our flesh. ”

Xiao Yungui put down the pen in his hand and said: "You are soft-hearted, he is just a child of our flesh, what does it have to do with us?" It's just that this kid's temper is still full of appetite for me. It is also a good thing to go to a military school, learn how to fight, and be a soldier who does not understand politics. It's not good for him to stay in Tianjing, and sooner or later I can't help but move this roadblock for Youfu. ”

Hong Yun'er's eyes flashed with unbearability, but she finally couldn't help but speak, and at this moment, the guards outside the pavilion came to report: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Li Zuoche Li is here." ”

Xiao Yungui hummed and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, Li Zuoche came to the pavilion, and after saluting the two, Xiao Yungui asked him to sit down and talk, and Hong Yun'er still sat beside Xiao Yungui with a pleasant face.

"You haven't entered the military academy yet, and you've been nesting in Tianjing to guard this Xiwang Mansion, and you've been wronged all these years." Xiao Yungui said slowly.

Li Zuoche's heart warmed, and he was very moved and said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and my subordinates didn't mess up the errand." ”

Xiao Yungui handed over an official document and said: "This is the official document that transferred you to the Shanghai Military Academy for further study, you will go to Shanghai today, go to the military academy to study for half a year, and then arrange your place after the military rank is evaluated." ”

Li Zuoche thanked him after taking it, and Xiao Yungui then said: "You gave the idea of going to the military academy." ”

Li Zuoche was not surprised at all, but nodded very calmly: "It was the idea of his subordinates." ”

Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "He is only ten years old, and the lower age of the Military Academy Youth League is twelve years old, what are you thinking about letting him go like this?" ”

Li Zuoche lowered his head and said: "The young master is actually very smart, but he needs to go out to increase his knowledge, and his subordinates can't teach him many things." King West, this kid is very pitiful......"

Xiao Yungui raised his hand to stop his words, and said lightly: "Born in a family like my family, you must have the consciousness of responsibility, he is not willing to live a dull life, this king will give him this opportunity." It's just that you're still going to make him a pure soldier in the army to avoid some things, right? ”

Li Zuoche lowered his head and was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence. Xiao Yungui hummed and said, "Zuoche, you are very good, what you want to do in this matter must be transparent." You go to the military academy, Youhe also went there, you just take care of him secretly, don't let him know about your existence, otherwise he feels that he has a backer and has nothing to fear, so it is not good for him, you just need to help him in times of crisis. ”

Li Zuoche got up and bowed to the ground and said, "My subordinates obey orders." ”

Xiao Yungui sighed lightly and helped him up and said, "You always forget that you don't want to bow down now, clean up and leave today, Youhe will be handed over to you in Shanghai." ”

Hong Yun'er also stepped forward and said: "You take a good look at Youhe, Shanghai is a world of flowers, don't let him learn badly, let him become a soldier." After Li Zuoche answered, he retreated.

After Li Zuoche left, Hong Yun'er said faintly: "Is this arrangement good?" Is it good for both children? ”

Xiao Yungui hesitated for a moment and said: "It's all good, you are blessed to be in politics in the future, the future kingdom of heaven is the military to serve politics, the country's army is no longer anyone's army, you are blessed to take over the position of the king of the west by being in politics, and you are a pure soldier in the army, and there will be no conflict if you don't participate in politics." ”

Hong Yun'er sighed lightly and said, "This is all our wishful thinking, have you ever thought that you will be blessed to like this dirty politics?" Will you be willing to be a pure soldier? Will they like us to arrange the road for them? ”

Xiao Yungui was stunned for a while before he said slowly: "But do your best, each has a ...... destiny" (to be continued......)
