Chapter 60: The Young General, His Name Is Seventeen

Seventeen or thirteen years ago, when I returned to Beijing, His Majesty would have summoned him a long time ago, so why wait until this time to ask for the guilt, it can be seen that I don't care at all.

"Your Majesty, you are young and frivolous for seventeen years, and you can't stand the boring life in the army."

"Young and frivolous?" The emperor looked at the man kneeling below, he lowered his head, his back was straight, and he said something young and frivolous! He is a young general, the next generation of town guards personally selected by the king of the northern realm, so undisciplined, abandoning millions of soldiers and leaving the army without permission.

At that time, the northern border had just stabilized, and on the way back their young general was in full view of everyone, beating horses back to Beijing, and only returned half a month later, and when he came back, the king of the north was furious, fined him a hundred military sticks, demoted him, and removed his military exploits, he gladly accepted, and so he recuperated in peace for more than half a month.

Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, but the first thing he did when he recovered from his illness was to go to the king of the north and kneel down.

"What do you mean by that?"

The rules in the army are very strict, but they are still very casual in ordinary times, and at this moment, there are circles of soldiers behind him, hooking their shoulders and backs, and they don't know what they are talking about.

Seventeen generals, they always have the ability to make their old generals angry, maybe they have quietly gone out to drink with their soldiers again, maybe they have used some kind of trick to repel the enemy army that has attacked by surprise, putting themselves in danger, or when they have quietly beaten the samurai who have infiltrated the north from other countries.

These things, too many to say, back to the old general headache, but helpless, not afraid, scolded him He is as thick as the city wall, he loves and hates him, he has no way to cure him, he can only make a way to beat him, punish him, and make him kneel all night.

So they thought that this time, it was their seventeenth general who had committed something and had been punished again, and gloated around to watch a good show.

But this time, the old prince didn't punish him, it was he who knelt in front of his tent, so that he didn't have time to react, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Seventeen took off his armor at this time, wearing only a black undershirt, and slammed on the ground, and the sound of kowtowing could not be heard on the loess road, but when the man raised his head, he saw the loess mark on his forehead that could not be blown off, and he knew that the man was serious.

"General, seventeen, I don't want to be a soldier anymore, I want to go back to the capital."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone stood there stunned, even holding their breath.

The old prince's blood surged into his heart, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Seventeen was silent, straightened his back, and looked firm.

Everyone knows their young general, very casual and stubborn, not to mention that the eight cows can't pull it back, even if he dies, his soul will also walk on the road he thinks he believes, or he is a helpless little beggar, why did he become a young general at a young age?

Isn't it just relying on that ruthlessness!

But the opponent is their old general, the old general has no children and no daughters, and he has contributed to the north all his life, and it is not easy to train a young general, how can he say that he will let go.

The old general called him into the tent, and he didn't know what he said, but he heard the sound of a palm slapping the table and shattering, and Seventeen flew out of the door sideways, his hands on his chest, and two mouthfuls of blood spat out of his mouth.

Everyone wanted to step forward and help him up, but they heard the old general's angry voice from inside the tent, "Bastard, get out of here!" ”

A word of applause stopped everyone's footsteps, only to see their young general slowly get up, pat the dust on his body, and solemnly kneel in front of the old prince's tent.

The young general was stubborn, and the old general was also stubborn, and Seventeen knelt outside for three days, during which only An Shenglai fed him water once, which he refused.

When the sun set on the third day, he stood up tremblingly and went back to the military quarters, he was demoted, and there was no military affairs to worry about, he should eat and drink, and he would fight on weekdays, like a nobody.

The crowd didn't dare to joke with him, but they felt that he was more silent than before.

At the beginning, the little beggar said that he wanted to join the army, but he was too young to accept it in the barracks, so he wandered around the northern border, and every once in a while he would come to ask, "Are you still recruiting?"

Others rejected him, he was not discouraged, wandering in that area as usual, and later when the old general came back from the war, this headless and brainless child, with the advantage of small size, squeezed in front of the old prince's horse, and was not afraid of the horse's hooves and eyeless crushing his small body.

"I want to join the army, I want to be a general."

At that time, he was confused and flamboyant, didn't care about anyone's eyes, fearless, and indomitable.

At that time, he was regarded as a little fool, and I don't know where the general took a fancy to him and brought him to his side.

"What's your name?"

"My name?" This question seemed to stump him, and after thinking for a while, he didn't come up with anything, his brows were furrowed, and he was not impatient, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, "My name is Seventeen." ”

The old prince liked this kid very much, and asked him patiently, "How can anyone be called seventeen, I am asking who is your surname?"

This time he didn't hesitate, and shook his head decisively, "I have no name and no surname, seventeen is my name, if you have to ask me what my surname is, then I will come to the barracks to find the answer." ”

Little people, innocent and fearless.

At that time, the general did not take him seriously, but only put him in the establishment of ordinary soldiers, and did not say that people should take good care of him.

He was young, and he suffered a lot of hardships and losses at first, but he was happy to shuttle through various tents, and gradually became more open.

Later, when he grew up and was able to go to the battlefield, he always rushed to the front, as if he was dying, always running to the center of the whirlpool, God had no eyes, and called him to escape, telling him to kill his own bloody way.

This unfathomable kid was seen by the general again, "What's your name?"

"My name is Seventeen!" This time, he didn't hesitate to say his name, without a hint of dodging.

The old general remembered that the timid little beggar was already a high-spirited young man, and let out a few low laughs from his chest, "You haven't found your name yet?"

"I found it, my name is Seventeen, it's the most precious thing in my life."

The general was stunned, there were actually two words that were the most important thing in someone's life, or two ordinary words.

At that time, he was still regarded as a little fool, a little fool who didn't want to die!

He used his fearless bloody path to help him become a young general.

Now, the young general is leaving the barracks, leaving the place he wanted to protect for the rest of his life, and I don't know why.

He was just demoted, nothing seemed to have changed, everything seemed to have changed again.

The old prince is majestic, unlike them, those generals and lieutenants are all uncles, and there is less of a leader who can cause trouble and take responsibility, the military camp is not as lively as usual, a little more serious, and a little less angry.

The atmosphere was so deadlocked, the old prince was hard-hearted, and he didn't say that he would restore his official position, and then news came from the territory that the prince was in the north to observe the people's situation and calm down the riots and encounter a sneak attack by the enemy.

This was heard by Seventeen, who was wandering outside, and before it reached the ears of the old prince, he had already gone out of the city with a team of men and horses.

Although he was demoted, he had his own ranks, and An Sheng was a professional title, so it was easier to appoint.

Later, the prince was rescued, and he thought that the seventeenth would be reinstated because of the meritorious officer who saved the driver, but he didn't expect the official position to be restored, but he chose to leave the barracks.

The old general called him to the tent that night, and I don't know what he said, except that their young general came out of the tent and went away without looking back.

The old general's voice came from inside the tent, "Bastard, don't come back if you leave, there are so many lieutenants here, which one is not a good man, get out!" Get out of here! ”

Later, the young general really left, taking only a blood-stained armor with him, and the little beggar he saved on the battlefield, and everyone called him Ansheng.

Now someone asked him why he violated military rules and left the army without permission, and that person was still the Son of Heaven who was far away in Kyoto.

He left the army without permission because he wanted to see the girl with an umbrella under the red wall and white snow, and he wanted to give her the best birthday gift that year, which was the stability of the north, and he came to repay the favor, but he accidentally remembered the benefactor.

He violated military regulations because the prince was attacked, the prince was his savior, he couldn't help but save it, he transferred troops without order, and committed a taboo in the army.

Now, I can only use the words "young and frivolous" to make a meaningless justification.

Seventeen has a lot of stories, but please believe that he is still the most innocent person in the world, just like the fearless young man who "I want to join the army, I want to be a general", wanton and chic, just like the headless little fool at the beginning, arrogant and undisciplined.

When people are old, there are some things that don't need to be so serious, "I called you here this time to make you an invigilator." ”

Xiao Yuanjun heard this, and raised his head suddenly, only seventeen was still calm.

He has no official position or position, just an ordinary person, and if he has to say anything outstanding, it is probably that his appearance is not bad.

The emperor's move was intended to take a fancy to him, but why?

Just because he saved the princess?

That's right, the princess's identity is not ordinary, if he saves the princess, he should be valued by the emperor, but this is too heavy.

The invigilator, saying that it is not big or small, after all, is a major event related to the whole country, and it is too casual to call someone who has nothing to do with it.

The final outcome of this matter is that the crown prince and princess will ensure that the seventeenth prince of the cloud is the invigilator, at least to the outside world.

Xiao Yuanjun stood in front of the palace door, overlooking the stairs, majestic and magnificent, that was the emperor's road to becoming a king, and how many people knew how many bones were buried underneath?

He didn't know, but he knew that there were two words, which were enough to sum it up, thousand!

"Seventeen, when you go back to Beijing, you should also have something to plan, right?"

Seventeen stood beside him, one black and one white, his clothes fluttering, "If a man wants to be famous in this world, who doesn't want to do something?"

"Huh!" A shallow sigh could not explain the prince's emotions.

Seventeen heard this, just smiled lightly, looked at the distant sky, and said in a lazy voice, "Seventeen is a layman, and once he came to this world, he just wanted to repay his kindness, ask for peace of mind, and seek a benefactor to be satisfied." ”

"In the past, I became a general to protect my family and defend the country, but now I am seventeen, just the seventeenth of my little lady."
