Chapter 9: Reunion
Hou Chong looked at Yu Wenxing's face gradually changing color, and seemed to be very embarrassed.
"Old general, my subordinates don't think that the eldest prince is narrow-minded, but the competition on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year was ...... I'm afraid, Bai Yi is not the best candidate. In fact, the method just proposed by the subordinate is to implement it personally. Yu Wenxing's face slowly returned to normal with his words. He was really reluctant to go to the battlefield in white clothes, and he was even more worried about white clothes showing up in front of the Chengdu army. Her identity is there. Many years ago, the Bai family was beheaded all over the house, and an 8-year-old girl named Bai Yi escaped, from then to now, it has not caused any turmoil. But be absolutely careful.
Because, a killer who was ordered to monitor the survival of the Bai family died under Yu Wenxing and did not return to his life. His master will not be suspicious; Because, the death of the man of the Qin family will not fail to trigger an investigation.
Hou Chong's heart was even more moved, he understood what Yu Wenxing's words meant - if Yu Wenxing personally led a 20-person escort team to protect Hou Cong's personal safety on the battlefield, Yu Wenxing's career as a soldier and general would come to an end. His identity has been Hou Cong's personal guard since then, not a soldier who can fight and be a marquis in the Dali Dynasty.
"You are willing to do it yourself, old man, of course I am very grateful. Over the years, the old man has been loyal to you, and he knows it in his heart. If the old man says anything polite, he will be outside. ”
Yu Wenxing listened to Hou Chong's reply, his heart was happy, and he bowed, so that Hou Chong was absolutely relieved. Hou Chong shook his head, as if he was dissatisfied: "However, this team of 20 people, although you organize the selection and training, the old man doesn't care about it, but the old man must insist on one person - white clothes." You heard the old man say, we all know the kung fu of white clothes. There is no need to doubt her character, after all, she is the daughter you raised. As for Cong'er's reaction, you don't have to worry - it's been so many years, he has long forgotten it. Besides, the appearance of the white clothes should also change, as long as the surname is not nominated, who will recognize it? ”
Yu Wenxing couldn't refute it, and this matter was decided.
Yu Wenxing left the station that night, and Maxima galloped back to Datong.
Bai Yi quietly listened to his adoptive father's statement, and had infinite reverie in his heart about Hou Cong's charging into battle. "There was no hero in ancient times than this." Yu Wenxing also sighed sincerely, but Changkong was still that unconvinced face, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that his father and sister were going to become Hou Cong's guards from now on.
"What do you have to grin? Do you owe a beating again? You also pack up and join the escort team, the boss is not small, eat and drink every day, what kind of system! ”
Yu Wenxing's words decided the fate of Changkong. With a bitter face, he supervised the nurse to pack Baiyi's luggage, and at the same time instigated his sister: "Baiyi, when you get to the station, let's beat that monkey again." You listen to me, and when the time comes, you will act according to the way I look. ”
Bai Yi ignored her brother, she couldn't think of it, it's been eight years, what has become of the eldest son?
After the formation of a team of 20 people, they immediately followed Yu Wenxing to the place where Hou Chong's army was stationed. Bai Yi and Changkong followed their father into the big tent, and saw Hou Cong, who was in black armor and white tassels, standing next to the main general's case: he was taller than when he was a child, tall as pine, his eyes were like scissors, and his face still had the shadow of 14 years old, but if it was Pu at that time, it was jasper now, only the paulownia blossoms were blooming, like his bowed head; Only the clarity of thousands of years of ice and snow is like his resolute arrogance.
He, still like when he first met in the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was 14 years old, turned his face and arched his hand to Yu Wenxing, his eyes did not sweep the sky and white clothes at all. Hearing that this was a specially formed escort team for the safety of his own battlefield, Hou Cong's expression was impatient, "I don't need it." General Yuwen should go and do what he should be busy with. ”
Just as the business he and his grandfather were about to discuss had been handed over, he left proudly, leaving no room for improvement. Hou Chong sighed, called "Cong'er" twice, and saw Yuwen Changkong smiling evilly, looking left and right.
"This is the sky, I haven't seen you for several years, I'm stronger than your father, has there been any progress in kung fu?"
When Changkong heard the old general call himself, he honestly knelt down on one leg and saluted, like a really good young man. Then, he stood up quickly and answered Hou Chong's question: "Kung Fu, it's still like that, up and down." I definitely can't beat my sister, but it's more than enough to make up a number in the team and protect the eldest son. ”
"You stinky boy, there are a hundred of them. Are you using your brain? Hou Chong is a person who likes the Yuwen family in his heart, and his words are full of kindness and trust.
"Alas, old general, you and your father are too honest. Don't you get tired of deceit? Although it is well known that I have a bit of a holiday with the eldest son, the main reason is that the eldest prince is narrow-minded and can't tolerate me, but I am wholeheartedly good for him. No one wants something to happen to him when he charges, does he? He didn't listen to your words, he didn't listen to my father's words, and he didn't dare not listen to the emperor's words. Let's just say that the escort is the emperor's will, so you won't get it. ”
"Presumptuous," Yu Wenxing wanted to beat his son again, "You can think of such a thing?" What else would you not dare? I think you're the opposite! ”
"To this extent, it is not an overkill. However, although Cong'er has made a contribution, it is not a big deal. What are the shocking benefits of his child's family to make the emperor personally make such a will? Hou Chong seemed to be talking to himself.
"He's a big tree! The woman of Quan Datong wrote to the emperor and implored the establishment of a guard team, so let's do it! ”
Yuwen Xing was so angry, Hou Chong listened to it, and he was very satisfied, "You are right, but you should pass on this kind of thing, others can't tell this lie." ”
Yu Wenxing saw that Hou Chongdu agreed, and it was inconvenient to say anything. Changkong said to Bai Yi, "Let's go, sister." "The two brothers and sisters slipped through the smoke and got out of the big tent. inquired about where Hou Cong's camp was, and strode over. Qing Song still recognized the two of them, smiled, and said hello - Hou Chong had already ordered not to nominate the surname - and opened the tabernacle. Bai Yi saw that Hou Cong's armor had been taken off, and he was loosely wearing a dark blue silk coat and a turban of the same color, with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't take his eyes off the sand table in front of him.
Changkong said hello and said the words "The establishment of the escort team is the holy will".
These words, like a disoriented arrow, shot out, without a sound, without a response. Hou Cong maintained his original posture, as if nothing had happened. Changkong knew that Hou Cong was strict in governing the army and strong in martial arts, so he didn't dare to act rashly at this time, he swallowed his saliva and looked at the white clothes. Bai Yi took a light step and walked forward.
She walked to the sand table step by step, and could already smell the aroma she had smelled from him back then. "The eldest son." She said.
"Get out of here," Hou Cong said, "block my light." ”
Except for the slight movement of his two petal-like lips, nothing changed in the rest of his body. Bai Yi didn't know what to say, Qingsong came over at this time, pulled the two of them out. Outside the tent door, Qing Song sighed, "The two of you have traveled a long way, please go and rest first, this matter is equivalent to the eldest prince knowing." ”
"That's it?" Changkong couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Young Master Yuwen, what are you pretending to be okay with? Eight years ago, it was the two of you who caused trouble! Since that competition, our son's temperament has become more and more eccentric, and he has taken dozens of catties of medicine to treat heart disease. It's a normal day. Alas, the girl in white, it stands to reason that you are indeed necessary to protect our eldest son. As for the eldest son of our family, although he is arrogant, he is not very scary. He's all because of you that he's what he is now. You have to be responsible. ”
When Bai Yi heard this, a slight bitterness rippled in his heart. For eight years, she pronounced the word "eldest prince" as a Buddhist voice in her nightmares, but the real eldest prince himself became an ice sculpture because of himself. Bai Yi stepped back and reopened the tent, Hou Cong didn't change at all compared to just now. From this distance, there is a kind of poignancy and loneliness of fragile glass.
"Okay, from now on, I'll protect him." Bai Yi said.
