Chapter 66: Rewarding the Army (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
He Lingyi thinks that he is He Miao's father, his status is enough, and his actions are even more thorough, so he should go.
He said euphemistically: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a precious status, Longcheng is inseparable from you, and the old minister is willing to share your worries." ”
Private business, isn't it? Who wouldn't.
Yuanzi said with a wooden face: "It has been nearly a year since the establishment of the Tiger Army, and the situation is only learned from letters and secret reports every day, and no one knows the real situation. In this way, it not only calms the hearts of the soldiers, but also reports back to the father in detail. ”
He Lingyi was unhappy: "But"
Yuanzi said strongly: "This matter is decided, when the palace is not in Longcheng, please also ask the Marquis of Min to guard Longcheng and share the worries of the palace." You're not going to pick and choose, are you? ”
He Lingyi didn't take advantage of the reason, and bargained: "Let your aunt go with you." ”
Yuanzi said: "In what capacity? ”
Since she is going to the army, she must have a suitable identity, otherwise why can't other people's families visit, why can't she be Miaomiao?
Do you want to give Bai Luoluo a position temporarily?
With so many pairs of eyes staring at it, military and political affairs are not child's play.
There must be one and the other, and as long as they start, countless people will follow suit.
He Lingyi thought to herself that she was getting old, and she was still restricted by these frames, really, her children were all debts.
He had no choice but to retreat: "Let He Xiaoer be a personal guard for you, you have to let our family see her with their own eyes." ”
This can be had, Yuanzi boldly agreed, changed his smiling face, and politely invited He Lingyi to feast.
He Lingyi didn't refuse, the two of them had a few side dishes, you have a cup, I have a cup, and they talked and laughed while drinking.
In the meantime, someone came to pay tribute, saying that Sibin Liu Ying had something to see, and He Lingyi remained silent to see what he wanted to do.
Liu Ying came to Longcheng, she was the same age as Yuanzi, and she had never decided on a family affair, and anyone with a discerning eye could see a little meaning.
Although the parties have always been serious and cautious, Liu Ying's hidden respect and admiration for Yuanzi can escape the eyes of the old foxes.
Yuanzi had no distractions and met Liu Ying frankly.
Liu Ying said the right thing: "When the New Year arrives, there are envoys from Shenguo who come to give New Year's gifts to His Majesty and the Queen's mother, and there are also New Year's gifts in Beijing." According to the usual practice, when the Honglu Temple sent people to the border to pick up people, Fang Xian was solemn, and His Royal Highness was asked to send troops to escort Weichen to pick up people, and at the same time, he could also escort the envoys sent from Beijing to Shenguo to give gifts. ”
This is a big deal, Yuanzi said: "Nearly the end of the year, the palace is about to enter the mountain to sacrifice the army, and the peer is it." ”
Liu Ying's eyes lit up slightly, and she stepped back respectfully, not forgetting to say hello to He Lingyi.
He Lingyi propped up her chin and was silent.
Lonely men and widows want to go together, or go into the mountains together.
It's the middle of winter, and it must be to repair and stay in the tiger city for a few days, I don't know what He Miao will think when he sees this situation?
It's okay, let her see it with her own eyes, experience it for herself, and then make a choice.
Although I am very worried and want to settle all the difficulties and obstacles for my children, in the end, it cannot be replaced.
Especially for people like He Miao, unless she is willing, no one wants to make decisions for her.
If you live for a lifetime, don't you just ask for a casual one?
She is still alive, has the conditions and ability, let her do whatever she wants.
He Lingyi sighed and left the Shuai Mansion.
Ten days later, the group walked towards Huben City in the face of the heavy snow.
Xu Nan led a group of generals to greet him outside the city gate, and behind him were energetic and majestic Tiger Ben soldiers.
Except for Yuanzi and a few insiders, everyone was amazed that such a place actually hid such a team.
They were all warned in advance that they were not to wander, look around, or inquire about the city after entering the city, and that they had to get permission to remove anything other than their quarters, toilets, or dining rooms, or they would be shot.
So they all bowed their heads, honestly talked, and pretended that they had no curiosity at all.
In fact, they didn't know that the soldiers who came out to welcome them today were just the tip of the iceberg, and there were many more people who hid and didn't come out.
Yuanzi was very satisfied with this situation, and he looked at Xu Nan who came up.
On a snowy day, Xu Nan was not very thick, with blue clothes, soft armor, a dark cloak, and a simple ebony hairpin in his hair, tall and straight, with a cold expression, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, which cannot be ignored.
Only a gorgeous long knife hung from his waist, which was incompatible with this simple outfit.
Yuanzi's gaze was fixed on the long knife, if he was not mistaken, this knife should have come from the Minhou Mansion.
He once saw He Lingyi ask a famous craftsman to make a scabbard, and he also saw He Xiaoer and He Xiaosan brothers holding and playing.
He thought it was specially made for the seedlings, and he thought that the seedlings would be given to him.
He gave her a knife, and she returned him with a knife, exactly a pair, how nice.
But at this moment, this knife was clearly hanging on Xu Nan's waist.
Looking at He Xiaoer again, He Xiaoer didn't look surprised at all, as if he had known that this would be the case.
Yuanzi can't say how he feels in his heart.
He quietly helped Xu Nan up, cordially said a word of condolence, and quietly searched for seedlings in the crowd.
However, she was not there, and I don't know if she was not qualified enough to come out to meet him, or if she took on other tasks and couldn't leave.
Yuanzi was very disappointed, but he didn't want to ask, and patiently entered Huben City with everyone, and after greetings, he mentioned when introducing Liu Ying: "Arrange a proper place for Liu Sibin." ”
Liu Ying is the only woman who is destined to live with He Miao.
When he mentioned this, Xu Nan naturally wanted to mention He Miao: "Liu Sibin will live with Captain He, everything is convenient." ”
Yuanzi then took the opportunity to ask He Miao: "Where is Captain He?" Her parents, Tomonomiya, brought her something. ”
Xu Nandao: "Captain He is out on military affairs and has not yet returned. ”
Such a snowy day, in such a cold and vast Iron Monument Ridge!
Yuanzi's heart was unbearable, he went all the way into the mountain, knowing how difficult and dangerous Tiebei Ridge was when the snow closed the mountain, but Xu Nan let He Miao go to the task in such weather!
He couldn't help but think that Xu Nan knew that he was coming, so he specially sent military affairs to He Miao to go out, but he didn't let him meet He Miao.
Yuanzi was very unhappy in his heart, and he didn't show anything on the surface, put down the tea bowl, got up and said, "Let's visit Huben City with General Xu." ”
The rest of the people were about to follow, but he stopped them: "Rest and obey the order." ”
Xu Nan smiled faintly, and didn't want his own soldiers to follow: "Your Highness, please!" ”
The two walked away one after the other, Liu Ying frowned slightly, had a hidden worry, and beckoned He Xiaoer to come over: "You follow quietly." ”
