Chapter 7: The Prosperous Age (Part 3I)

"It's still early in summer, shouldn't Lang Jun eat peaches now?" A gentle voice came from the shadows, and there was a hint of persuasion in the tone.

There is no need to look up, Li Xu also knows that it is Ying'er who is coming. In their own home, the husband and wife have never thought of hiding anything from each other, and they are familiar to the extent that they have nothing to hide. He smiled bitterly and said stupidly, "It's the end of spring, where can I get peaches to eat!" I was just depressed for a moment, I didn't expect this dead thing to be so unbeaten! ”

"Lang Jun is the strength to pull out the mountain! A few more punches, and even if the peaches don't fall, the tree will be broken by you! She smiled and whispered. She didn't ask Li Xu why she was bothered, she just walked forward quickly, leaned over and picked up two green peaches, wiped off the soft hairs on them, and took a bite gently.

"I can't eat it, it's sour and bitter!" Li Xu grew up in the countryside when he was young, so he naturally knew what green peach hairs were like, so he grabbed Ying'er's hand and stopped it loudly.

"It's also fragrant!" Qi'er frowned at the sour taste of green peaches, but a naughty smile appeared on her face. "It's not that unpalatable, I don't believe you can taste it. Very special acid."

"I ate it hundreds of times when I was a child!" Li Xu pushed away the green peach that Qi'er handed to his mouth, swallowed the saliva hooked by the sour taste, and explained in a low voice.

was troubled like this by Ying'er, and the depression in his heart dispersed a lot. The whole person no longer looks so tired. "Coincidentally" Laishou came with the boiled tea, and the husband and wife opened a plate under the tree, drinking tea and whispering.

"According to the news brought by Xie Yingdeng! Your Majesty was killed! After a few strong teas fell into his stomach, Li Xu said quietly.

"Your Majesty?" Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Li Xu was talking about Yang Guang, who was far away in Jiangdu. In her husband's heart, that is, the faint monarch hiding in the deep palace of Jiangdu, can barely afford the word Your Majesty. Her husband is a person who knows how to be grateful, although Yang Guang's lot of care for her husband cannot be regarded as a favor in the eyes of outsiders.

Putting down the half-eaten green peach in her hand, she asked in a low voice, "Is the news true?" Has it ever spread in the barracks? ”

"I have ordered Xie Yingden to restrain his Brother Wagang and strictly prohibit the spread of unverified news!" Li Xu nodded lightly, and shook his head slightly. Rumors have always gone faster than horses, and no matter how they are banned, the news of Yang Guang's killing will also spread among the army, and the morale of the defenders will inevitably be affected.

"Everyone once said that this battle is for the fathers and villagers at home!" Ying'er is not as sensitive to bad news as Li Xu. In other words, she was deliberately comforting Li Xu. "Those soldiers under my eldest brother's command didn't take Jiang Du seriously. The Wagang Army and the Dou Jiajun probably won't care about His Majesty's life or death. Only the Boling army and the soldiers and horses in the river need Lang Jun to put more effort into it. And we, Brother Boling, have always been the only ones who look forward to the horse! ”

"There aren't many soldiers under Wang Taishou's command. We Bolingjun know what we're doing! Li Xu's thick eyebrows slowly unfolded, and the expression on his face slowly relaxed. Although he knew in his heart that the truth was far from being as simple as Xiang Ying'er said. Everyone has indeed said that they are standing on the Great Wall to defend their homes. But Yang Guang was killed, which means that the Great Sui has completely perished. What is the reward for the merits of a group of people who have no country behind them, and who will remember the sacrifices they made today?

"As long as Lang Jun knows what he's doing. The morale of our Boling army will not collapse! Qi'er nodded again, emphasizing softly.

The green peach in the hand continues to pass the sour and astringent taste into the nostrils, tempting people to still want to bite, although they know that this thing is sour and bitter, even the aftertaste is not half sweet.

Li Xu didn't notice the weirdness of his wife's behavior, sighed, and nodded silently. Bo Lingjun is indeed his own now. This elite of the Great Sui that once galloped on the plug, the future is all in his thoughts. He said that to the south, everyone would never refuse, knowing that the road ahead would be nine deaths. He said that to the north, the soldiers would also swear to follow, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them.

The sour taste spreads between the teeth and the base of the tongue in an instant, making people feel very pleasant and enjoyable. Biting the green peach again, Qi'er asked softly: "General Xie didn't suggest that you go to avenge Your Majesty, right?" He was born in Wagang, and he shouldn't think anything good about His Majesty! ”

"They only hate His Majesty who is alive!" Speaking of what Xie Yingden said, Li Xu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "As for the dead Your Majesty, you can just use it to make a fuss!" ”

"He advised you to go south to King Qin?"

"He thinks I can just take advantage of this Cao Wei story!" Li Xu continued to smile bitterly.

"Lang Jun must not have agreed." With a slight turn of thought, Qian'er guessed that today's dinner between the two brothers must have broken up unhappily. Otherwise, her husband would not be so lost.

"I don't think 20,000 remnants can sweep the world." Li Xu continued to shake his head. "So I suggested that he go to Brother Jiancheng, the Li family is now the time to be thirsty for talent, and if Yingdeng goes there, he will definitely have the opportunity to show his strengths!"

"To Big Brother?" Ying'er was stunned again, carefully savoring her husband's words, and a tenderness slowly floated in her eyes.

Looking at his wife, Li Xu repeated very solemnly what he said to Xie Yingden today, "I thought about it carefully. If nothing else, this battle will be my last battle in the Central Plains. After this battle, I led my brothers to move to the outside of Cyprus. In exchange for three years of support from King Tang's side, the land of the six counties was exchanged. There is a borderless land outside the fortress, and you can't fight to the death with the people who fought side by side yesterday! ”

"It's good that Lang Jun is happy!" Hearing Li Xu say solemnly, Qian'er nodded lightly. Suddenly, her heart warmed, and she was instantly filled with a thick sense of tenderness and honey.

The husband was reluctant to go south, unwilling to draw a knife with his former friend. And those who really had a friendship with him and had the strength to draw a sword against him, except for Xu Maogong of Wagang, that is, the Li family in Hedong, that is, his father and several brothers. Xie Yingdeng came this time, and he must have brought Xu Maogong's entrustment to find a way out for the Wagang Liyang Army. Therefore, the husband actually hid, and only the Li family in Hedong was left.

He was unwilling to be a vassal to the Li family, and he was unwilling to draw a knife against the Tang King, who had the status of father-in-law and clan uncle. For this reason, he would rather live outside the country, and would rather give up the foundation that has been in business for many years.

"I know Lang Jun is for me. Actually, you don't have to let yourself be so wronged. Speaking of which, Ying'er couldn't say any more, she just felt that God really favored her to meet such a person who could be trusted in this life. In this life, even if you practice penance for a thousand years in the next life, it will be worth it.

"I'm not all for you, either!" Li Xu gently held Qi'er's hands and said, "You know, after this battle, there are not many soldiers and horses left in the Boling army. I can't take more than 10,000 remnants of soldiers to do things that are impossible to succeed in. Moreover, the soldiers were in danger, and the Boling army fought with Hedong, and I don't know how many innocent people would die in the war. I don't see the difference between the people dying under the knife of my Li and dying under the knife of the Turks! ”

"I'm afraid that General Xie is not the only one who will be disappointed in you!" Ying'er raised her head, looked at her husband's clear gaze, and said in a low voice. Although he is only in his early twenties, her husband's sideburns are already wrinkled. He has carried too many things over the years, and many things should not have been borne by him alone.

"Who can barely come! It's better to disappoint a few people than to have corpses all over the place! Li Xu responded with a smile. There were more than nine tripods. There are also great rivers and mountains outside the plug. Robbing with his own family, how can it be as happy as snatching it in the hands of Gu Toru? If he is allowed to come and go whenever he wants, I am really disappointed. ”

"Those who are recognized as powerful on the grassland, Gu Turu is undefeated, and it is difficult to rise again once defeated. Rather than cheapen the fruits of this battle to some unknown khan, I should take it myself! Thinking of the challenges he might encounter after leaving the fortress, he felt a fierce pride in his heart, "The weather over there is indeed a little worse." But there are horses, milk wine, and fields that you can't see at a glance. When summer came, we rode our horses to hunt, and everywhere we went, it was verdant! There are no mountains, no trees, only a round sky and a sea of emerald grass, if you want to rest, you can set up camp on the spot, except for God, no one can control us! ”

"It's just us!" Although Qian'er had never seen the grassland, listening to Xuzi's description, her eyes became shining, and she asked softly.

"It's just us!" Li Xu responded softly.

Back then, he once sang on horseback and spent the easiest years of his life in the depths of the grassland. He had to leave, but now he could swagger back, and no one was qualified to drive him away.

Suddenly, he found half a green peach that his wife had been holding in his hand, and he was extremely surprised, stopped his wild thinking, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you drop it, is it really delicious?" ”

"Lately, I've been feeling tasteless in my mouth. I just tried to take a bite and found that I could give birth to it, well, I found that it was Ikutsu! Qi'er's face suddenly became very red, and slowly drooped down, until it reached Li Xu's chest.

Looking at his wife's neck, which had turned pink, Li Xu slowly understood something. Military affairs are complicated, so it is rare for the husband and wife to have leisure to sleep together. But on the night more than a month ago, they hugged each other tightly like a dream. Today, the green peach is still small, but it is sour in time.

"We're going to have a baby!" An indescribable joy welled up in his tired heart, "We will have a healthy child who will grow up in a stable and prosperous home." He repeated it out loud, eager for everyone in the world to hear. I won't let you and him get hurt again! Shaking his wife's wrist a little harder, and as if he was afraid of hurting the other party, he quickly withdrew his arm, helpless, "I won't let anyone hurt him or you!" His tone choked, and a stream of tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.

If the Boling army did not go far to Henan, Erya and the other child would not have died. The two of them should live happily. Instead of losing your life because you want to accomplish the impossible on the spur of the moment.

After that experience, he vowed never to do anything he wasn't sure of again. When hell freezes over.
