Chapter 94: Liu Yingjie
made an appointment with Gao Lang at any time to try equestrianism, and Xiao Changqing got a day off from Lu Chengye.
In the General's Mansion, General Zheng Yuan told Mrs. Zheng that Xiao Changqing was coming to the mansion early, and saw that Mrs. Zheng got up early in the morning, commanded the kitchen cook, and made many dishes that Xiao Changqing loved to eat.
I personally made a few small snacks, snacks that are not too sweet and greasy, Xiao Changqing likes it, Zheng Yuan got a day of rest from Lu Chengye today.
It is enough for Xiao Changqing to catch up with their family, and today Xiao Changqing also took the third lady to visit the door, and Mrs. Zheng and the third lady quickly chatted.
After lunch, the dim sum was very suitable for Xiao Changqing's appetite, she ate a little too much, Mrs. Zheng peeked at her several times, she didn't notice it.
And the third lady sat aside, for this little daughter, she did not pay too much attention to her in her childhood, so she was very unfamiliar with her, but these days, her little daughter will come to accompany her to say a few words no matter how tired she is.
Gradually, the mother and daughter can talk about more and more topics, and they are no longer as rusty as before.
After chatting for a while, General Zheng Yuan wanted to test whether Xiao Changqing's skills had regressed after being away for two years, so he made a surprise attack, which frightened Mrs. Zheng and the third lady.
The master and apprentice then had a discussion, and just as they were about to end, Lu Chengye's voice came, and the result turned into a competition between Zheng Yuan and his two apprentices.
Finally, our emperor left his busy imperial study, left the palace, went out of the imperial city, and came to the general's mansion, and Lu Chengye, who had not talked about his master for a long time, was in a very happy mood now.
At this moment, it seems to have returned to the time when he was still the crown prince, at that time, he could still enter and exit the palace at will, and now, it is difficult to go out for a private visit.
The three of them sat under the gazebo, drinking hot tea, so comfortable, the third lady stood not far away, and Mrs. Zheng told her a lot of Xiao Changqing's life in the Li Kingdom for ten years.
This general's mansion is where she grew up from childhood to adulthood, Zheng Yuan can be regarded as Xiao Changqing's half-father-like existence, and she also loves Xiao Changqing as her own daughter.
Under the pavilion, there is no Emperor Li at this moment, there are no Xiao guards, no generals, only ordinary masters and apprentices.
"Evergreen has slowed down a lot, but what's going on." Lu Chengye and Zheng Yuan both know that Xiao Changqing's speed of sword delivery is not something that ordinary swordsmen can take.
"I broke my left ankle once, and now it has healed, but it still leaves the root of the disease, and when the weather gets cooler, it hurts." The tone seemed to mean something inconsequential.
Lu Chengye and Zheng Yuan knew that Xiao Changqing was so seriously injured because of this, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.
Xiao Changqing finished drinking the hot tea in the cup, looked at the broken tea leaves left at the bottom of the cup, and slowly continued: "What happened together that day was too sudden, the Qiguo attacked the Xuguo Palace at night, I was completely defenseless at that time, I was too careless. ”
The broken tea leaves in the cup seemed to have turned into the fire of that day, constantly burning, and the fire that reached the sky swallowed up the entire Xu Kingdom.
The belated heavy rain was like a trace of God's sympathy, sympathy for this Xuguo, which was already sandwiched between two mountains and difficult to turn over, so it ended in the fire.
Lu Chengye's left hand under the table was slightly clenched into a fist, in fact, all this, if he hadn't reached an agreement with King Qi, Xu Guo would not have ended up like this at all.
At the beginning, he would reach such an agreement with King Qi, in the final analysis, because he didn't want Xuguo to exist at that time, thinking that as long as Xuguo was gone, Xiao Changqing would stay in Li Kingdom.
Facts have proved that Xiao Changqing has indeed returned, if the eldest sister and second sister of the Xiao family did not marry into Li Guo, then the three ladies would not have chosen Li Guo now.
When General Zheng Yuan's sentence that victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers was about to blurt out, he thought that the Xu Kingdom had been destroyed.
"Master, rest assured, the apprentice is very good, and now the apprentice only hopes that the country and the people will be safe, and the wind and rain will be smooth." She is still a native of Xuguo, but she doesn't want the war to break out again.
However, Xiao Changqing's hopes were dashed again, and the strength of the Li State led to the increasing grievances of those ambitious small countries, and they finally decided to join forces to overthrow the Li State.
After all, everyone covets the big fat sheep of the Li country, and the rich land of the Li country has many materials that are scarce in other small countries.
It was a matter of time before war would start, and in the second year when Xiao Changqing became the imperial guard with a sword, those small countries stood on the front of unifying the anti-Li State and officially issued a war letter to the Li State.
The whole world knows how to refine iron, and there are many talents who have used the iron-making skills of Xuguo to create countless strange weapons.
They smeared poison on the blade of the knife and did not give the soldiers of the Li State the slightest chance to survive, and the Li State had a fatal flaw, because they were strong, and they disdained the poison.
Therefore, in the entire Li country, no one will use poison, and poison is forbidden in the Li country, and for a while, the vitality of the Li country was greatly damaged, and Lu Chengye almost only slept for two hours a day, and he had to get up to read the war report.
"Your Majesty, the last general implores you to let the last general go to the battlefield!" Xiao Changqing was the only female disciple of General Zheng Yuan, and many ministers suggested that she go to the front line to command.
There are also a large number of ministers who object, saying that she can't even hold a small Xu Kingdom, how to hold the rivers and mountains of Li Kingdom.
With a body of martial arts, she finally came to the place where she could use it, and she couldn't watch the territory of the Li Kingdom being invaded inch by inch.
Just like the original Axu Guo, she was ignited by one rocket after another, but she was helpless.
Lu Chengye closed the battle report he had just sent, and the battle report was very good, the soldiers of their Li State won a battle, but they were killed and injured countless times, because the other party used a highly poisonous poison, there was no antidote at all.
"You know, if I let you go, there's a good chance you won't come back... There's a good chance you won't come back... Xiao Changqing, you are very likely to die on the battlefield, do you know! ”
He slapped his hands vigorously on the table, propped himself up, restrained his anger and unwillingness, he didn't want to let Xiao Changqing go to the battlefield.
Xiao Changqing knelt on one knee, clenched his fists with both hands, raised his head and looked at Lu Chengye, and said: "I know that when I was in Xuguo, I caught a deputy general of Qiguo, and it turned out that he was just an ordinary soldier who was temporarily replaced, and he was a chess piece used by Qiguo to humiliate Xuguo's weakness. ”
Lu Chengye stared at her closely, he was ready that no matter what she said, he would not agree.
"But in the end, he said that letting him die on the battlefield was his last respect, Changqing, who should have died in the fire of Xuguo."
If the Xiao family were all buried in that fire, Xiao Changqing would also be ready to die.
