Chapter 69: The Return
After the people of Feicheng got the returned grain, they never saw the heroic young general again. If they had good deeds, they began to inquire if General Ling had gone to Xiliang City to burn grain and grass again.
The news reached the ears of King Lingjun and made him laugh for a long time, and he said to Anan and Bei: "Look, now your prince is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Feicheng." This fire burns grain and grass, and the combination of inside and outside makes Yuanhang famous in the Northwest War. ”
"Yes, master, and ah, some people pulled the soldiers and asked where the prince went. Some soldiers who knew the inside story explained to them that the prince was taking care of his wife in Guojia Town. Then these soldiers were very proud to tell them about the princess and the princess to resist Duoyan, and now the people of Feicheng are no longer just the prince, they have changed the topic again, and now the teahouse hotel is talking about the heroic deeds of our princess against the enemy. Bei said with a smile.
Anan also smiled and said: "I also heard that many girls heard that the princess had female soldiers in her hands, and they also asked the princess if she could accept female soldiers." ”
The king of the county said with emotion: "The people of Feicheng are very lovely, and if there is no devastation of war, their lives will be very happy." Now that we've just recaptured Feicheng, they'll be able to hold us high. I hope they will continue to talk with such interest in the future. Live in peace and tranquility. ”
When Ling Yuanhang returned to Feicheng with Yaru, Yaru was warmly welcomed by the people of Feicheng, especially those little daughters-in-law and big girls. They stood in the streets, craned their necks and looked at the city gates.
The king of the county is a qualified elder, he has been thinking about Yaru since he heard about Feicheng, and after receiving his son's letter, he knew that Yaru was coming today. And he waited at the gate of the city early.
Ling Yuanhang saw his father standing there in civilian clothes from a distance, looking at him. Outside the carriage, he said to Aru, "Ru'er, my father has come to fetch you at the gate of the city. ”
When Yaru heard this, she immediately opened the car door and said, "Yes, then let's hurry up, don't make my father wait for a long time." ”
So the carriage quickened and soon reached the gate of the city. Ling Yuanhang came over and personally helped Yaru out of the car.
At this time, King Ling Jun had already arrived in front of the car. When Aru came, he knelt down and saluted. King Lingjun hurriedly stopped: "Aru'er can't, sail away quickly to help Aru up, the ground is cold." ”
Ling Yuanhang immediately helped Yaru. Yaru said movingly: "Father, it's so cold, just wait for Ru'er in the house." How to come to the city gate to meet Ru'er. This is very frustrating. ”
King Ling Jun looked at her thin and somewhat pale little face, and felt a little sorry for this child: "Aru, you have suffered, and my father knows about it." It was our father and son who were careless and didn't protect you. ”
Yaru smiled and comforted the county king: "Father, this incident is purely accidental. Look, isn't Ru'er doing well now?"
King Ling Jun said with emotion: "Ru'er, you are a sensible child, this is the blessing of the voyage, and it is also the blessing of our Ling family. You see, all the people of Feicheng have come to take you into Feicheng. As he spoke, he pointed with his hand into the gate. Then he added with a smile: "They have spread the news that you led people to fight against Duoyan, and you are now the hero in their hearts, a heroine among women." ”
Aru looked into the city gate, but no, there were people on both sides of the street. So she smiled and said, "The people of Feicheng are really enthusiastic, and this should be the credit of my father and husband." This shows that they love you in their hearts, and that is why they love the house and the house. But there is one thing that Yaru has not said, and that is that everyone has curiosity. The people of Feicheng do have a good impression of her, but at the same time, they also want to see what kind of person she is.
Then Aru said, "Father, you see, since the people have come to meet me." I don't think it's really nice to sit in the car anymore, or maybe I'm going to ride a horse?"
King Ling Jun looked at his son and said, "Yuanhang, can Ru'er's body do it now?"
Ling Yuanhang said: "There is no big problem, the riding time is not long, and you can reach the Marshal's Mansion in a while." It's okay to ride slowly. After saying that, he came over to straighten the hat of the fox cloak for Yaru, and covered her little face again. Then they had Aru's horse led.
Yaru got on the horse and walked side by side with Ling Yuanhang, King Ling Jun walked next to his son and daughter-in-law, and the three of them walked together in harmony. They slowly passed through the passage that had been left by the people. All three had smiles on their faces.
The people of Feicheng looked at the legendary woman curiously, only to see that she was wearing a fox fur cloak of red fabric. The cloak and sides are all sewn white fox fur. A little pale but not hidden in a circle of white fox fur, a pair of big apricot eyes, straight and delicate little nose, natural elegance, noble temperament, is really beautiful. is such a weak and slender beautiful woman, if it weren't for the incident that happened in Guojiazhen just now, they really couldn't believe that she could dance the big knife and fight with the Warat soldiers. Look at General Ling beside her again. The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are deep, the appearance is handsome, and the face is heroic, and look at the county king next to the two, although he is middle-aged, he is still a very handsome and handsome uncle. The people of Feicheng sighed, the people in this capital are really beautiful, where can there be such a noble character in the city far away.
The people of Feicheng greeted Aru one after another, and Aru kept smiling at them on his horse. Their horses walked very slowly, and from time to time she answered a few words when the people asked, and her amiable smiling face immediately captured the hearts of the people of Feicheng. Many years later, people still talk about Mrs. Ling back then.
On the tenth day of Yaru's arrival in Feicheng, the Ling family father and son led the army to recover Xiliang City. After Duoyan attacked Guojia Town, he lost so many men and horses, so he did not return to Xiliang City, but went directly back to the royal city of Wara, the eldest prince was killed in battle, but Hadur did not know where to go. This disappointed Ling Yuanhang and Yaru, who were looking for Duoyan to take revenge, and it seemed that they could only wait for a chance in the future.
After the Great Yuan army regained the three lost cities one after another, the war did not end, because the Warat people did not hand over the surrender, and there was no intention of reconciliation. That means that the war in the Northwest will continue.
However, the imperial court agreed that Ling Yuanhang's holy decree to escort Yaru back to Beijing had arrived, so Ling Yuanhang set off on the third day after receiving the holy decree with Yaru and the 5,000 men and horses of the Western Battalion that he had brought with him.
In accordance with his father's wishes, Ling Yuanhang planned to take Yaru to Luochuan first to sweep the graves of his grandfather and mother.
On this day they arrived at Luochuan. They came suddenly, and they hadn't told anyone beforehand. So when their brigade appeared on the streets of Luochuan, it shocked the people of Luochuan. Luochuan is a small town, only half the size of Guojia Town.
The people of Luochuan looked at the capital Ling characters on the banner and guessed one after another. Who is this from the Ling family, could it be the king of the county, I heard that the father and son of the king of the county are fighting at the border pass, how can they come to Luochuan? So the people were also curious, so they followed the team all the way to the old house of the Ling family.
The old mansion of the Ling family lives in the second uncle of King Ling Jun, the second grandfather of Ling Yuanhang, I think that when the old Marquis Ling was in power, this second grandfather was a person with very strange hobbies. He was not good at reading, but he was very good at reading, and he did not like to practice martial arts, but his kung fu was also good in his family. His favorite book to read is Tao Yuanming's poems, and he spends some time planting land when he has nothing to do. After getting married, he stubbornly insisted on going back to his hometown, so he came back with his wife and children. Now that he has lived here for decades, the old man is now in his sixtieth year.
His little great-grandson ran into the house and said, "Great-grandfather, there are a lot of soldiers from outside, and there are big flags. ”
Second Master Ling was a little puzzled when he heard this, he looked at his little grandson: "There are so many soldiers, at the door of our house?"
"Yes, Grandpa Great, they're talking to Grandpa Ling in the porter. There's a beautiful sister there. "The seven-year-old boy has learned things very well.
Second Old Lady Ling had a little guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure, so he took the little great-grandson's hand: "Let's go, go and have a look with great-grandpa." ”
As soon as the second old lady Ling walked out of the door, the old Ling head of the concierge ran over excitedly and said, "Old lady, come and see, it's the prince who is here." ”
The second old lady looked forward and saw a familiar face, this face resembled his eldest brother, the old marquis who had already passed away. This is a voyage, the eldest grandson of the voyage a few years ago.
The second old lady was excited, Ling Yuanhang had already rushed over and knelt down at this time, his eyes were shining with tears: "Second grandfather, I'm Yuanhang, it's Yuanhang, are you okay?"
The second old lady stepped forward and hugged Ling Yuanhang: "Yuanhang, I can look forward to you." Kid, you're alright. The old man cried, touching Ling Yuanhang's arm as he spoke, and muttered in his mouth: "Didn't you say that you and your father went to fight Warat again, why did you come here, you weren't hurt." Let the second grandfather take a look. Your father is fine. He's back, right?" The old man asked several questions in one go, and Ling Yuanhang didn't know which one to answer him, so he just smiled and hugged the old man with his backhand: "Second grandfather, we are all fine." Don't worry. Look, I've brought my daughter-in-law to show you. As he spoke, he turned back to Yaru.
Yaru kept smiling and watching the scene of the meeting between her grandparents and grandchildren. She is now largely recovering and no longer wallowing in painful memories of the past. When she heard Ling Yuanhang shouting, she hurriedly came over and knelt down: "Second grandfather, granddaughter-in-law greets you." ”
The second old man looked at Yaru, and as soon as the old man saw Yaru, he felt that this was a good boy, and he didn't know why, probably Yaru cast his eyes. He hurriedly said, "Good boy, get up quickly." When I get home, I don't pay attention to so many false courtesies. ”
At this time, the Ling family came over, and they met one by one, first for a while, and then Mrs. Ling asked her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to go to work on the meal. Ling Yuanhang also arranged for his own people to set up tents and bury pots for cooking.
Yaru was called by the old lady to the house to warm up. The old lady looked at Yaru, and her heart was full of love. The old lady injured her body during childbirth, so she only gave birth to a son and did not get pregnant again. The second old lady has no concubine, and she lives alone in this life. The son and grandson did not have a concubine after they married a wife, so the family was very quiet and harmonious.
The old lady in her sixties is still very strong because she follows her husband to farm all the year round. She pulled Yaru to ask a long question, and Yaru answered patiently with a smile. The grandparents and grandchildren also talked very well.
