Chapter 36: Chinese New Year's Eve
There is a shortage of materials at the border gate, but there are many cattle and sheep, especially mutton, which is extremely delicious, so Su Yiming set up a shelf in the yard and cut the mutton to roast the mutton.
Everyone gathered around, there was no subordinate, they all skewered meat by themselves, Jiang Qingyue skewered meat, Lin Zheyuan used his long sword to cut meat, and the two cooperated extremely tacitly.
Su Xiaorou roasted the meat, divided it into a circle one by one, and then took the largest skewer and handed it to Zhou Ruian with a red face.
Lin Zheyuan's eyes lit up immediately, he glanced at you Jiang Qingyue and gave her a look.
Jiang Qingyue found Zhou Rui'an and Su Xiaorou, bowed his head clearly, and followed Lin Zheyuan to watch Zhou Rui'an being entangled with relish.
Zhou Rui'an: "!! "Jiang Qingyue, this guy who has no righteousness!
Zhou Ruian took it with a dry smile, Su Xiaorou looked at him with bright eyes and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Good, delicious!" Zhou Ruian said with an embarrassed face.
Zhou Ruian glanced at Jiang Qingyue, who was watching a good show, grabbed her wrist, and said, "Miss Su specially baked it, you eat it quickly, don't let Miss Su live up to her wishes." ”
Jiang Qingyue: "??? "Why hurt each other so much?
Su Xiaorou pursed her lips and glanced at Jiang Qingyue with some disgust, but today is the Chinese New Year, so let's reluctantly share a string with her.
Jiang Qingyue looked at the four brothers desperately, quick, come and save your boss!
The four brothers looked away, they felt that if their boss could marry the granddaughter of General Su, this would be a very good thing, and they were not afraid that their boss would not be promoted, and their boss would be promoted, so should they still worry about their future?
Su Yiming smiled and said: "Yes, Qingyue, you have also worked hard, you haven't eaten much yet, Rou'er's craftsmanship is not bad, you can taste it." ”
Jiang Qingyue: "Thank you Miss Su, the girl's craftsmanship is really good." ”
Su Xiaorou snorted softly, turned her head, and saw Zhou Rui'an, her little face became red again.
Su Yiming looked at his sister and shook his head helplessly, he took out the prepared wine jar and divided one by one.
"Come, for the peace of the world, for the absence of war, cheers!" Su Yiming said.
Everyone raised their glasses to the wine jar and raised their heads to take a sip, full of pride in their hearts, and felt extremely comforted.
Liu Hong took a sip of wine, and suddenly sang loudly, he sang a mountain song here in Liuzhou, many people can sing, "Ah Mei has a love brother and righteousness, and she has a personal relationship for thousands of years...... Brother went out...... Tangshan has a long road, there are no pairs of mandarin ducks on the pillows, and the lamps and grasses on the wall are heartfelt......"
Su Yiming took a sip of wine and continued to sing, the courtyard was full of Erlang's high-pitched voices, and the burning fire shone on their faces.
Jiang Qingyue curled the corners of her lips, this is the most lively year she has lived since she was a child.
Zhou Rui'an opened his mouth and sang at this time: "You don't see, Hanzhong Army, the weak crown is a captive, please ...... Changying"
His voice was heroic and magnificent, with an incomparable heroic spirit, the hearts of the listeners were full of blood, and with his voice, Jiang Qingyue picked up the spear, like a swimming dragon, and she performed a set of marksmanship.
"You don't see it, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds, the man should be in serious danger, how can he let Ruguan miss this life......"
Jiang Qingyue stabbed out with a spear, every movement seemed to be loud, showing her cold bearing, under the moonlight, her face was cold, her eyes were resolute, she attracted everyone's attention, with Zhou Rui'an's lyrics, as if she saw the battlefield, the heroic and fearless son, rushing towards the enemy without hesitation.
"The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather competition is endless! Abandon my old pen and write my wartime ......"
Jiang Qingyue's spear spun rapidly in her hand, so fast that it was almost impossible to see her movements, she was so dazzling, her movements were neat and chic, and every move was awe-inspiring, making people believe without hesitation that with her, it would be enough to be untouchable!
Zhou Ruian sang the last sentence: "More than 100,000 soldiers are called, and they sing war songs to join the army." Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Japanese slaves! ”
With Zhou Rui'an's song, Jiang Qingyue's set of moves ended, and finally she stabbed the spear out sharply, and the cold murderous aura came to her face, and everyone looked at her and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Jiang Qingyue accepted the move, turned his head, and met a pair of deep and bright eyes, Zhou Ruian was looking at her, this song was sung by him on a whim, he believed that Jiang Qingyue also cooperated with him to practice this set of marksmanship on a whim, they had not rehearsed, and they did not even make eye contact, but they had an incomparable tacit understanding.
At this moment, both of them suddenly had a sense of heart-to-heart meeting, he knew her pride, and she also knew his Top Gun.
It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, it doesn't matter what kind of feelings it is, in this world, someone understands him, and someone understands him, which is a blessing.
After a long time, they remembered that Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a very bright moonlight, they drank strong wine, and the meat they ate was very fragrant, because there was a group of like-minded brothers around.
Everyone was very happy that day, except for Su Xiaorou, she looked at her beloved prince, and then at Jiang Qingyue, who was handsome, which of these two people did she choose?
The emperor's decree was quickly sent to Liuzhou, and as Zhou Rui'an expected, this time the emperor did send the second prince to the border to collect military power.
When he received the holy decree, the second prince had already set off.
Su Yiming came over to find Zhou Ruian with some concern, but he didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to be there.
After everyone greeted each other, Su Yiming said: "Grandfather asked me to ask the prince, the temperament of these two princes, he came to control the Divine Warrior Army, would he have other thoughts?" ”
The Su family does not reject Zhou Rui'an as much as before, although they still don't interact with each other on the surface, Su Liangyi has also acquiesced to Su Yiming and Zhou Rui'an's dealings.
Zhou Ruian shook his head: "If you are worried that the second prince wants to collect the heroic army together, you can rest assured that the second prince can be peaceful, even if the emperor intends to take back the heroic army, he will not send the second prince." After a pause, he continued: "The second prince was born in a noble family, the queen mother has always loved him, and the second prince also has a reputation for both civil and military affairs, and has both ability and political integrity, but most of them were created for him by the queen mother, and his own talent and learning are average. ”
Jiang Qingyue was a little strange: "Listening to you say this, these two princes are simply a child spoiled by their mother, so he still dares to come to Liuzhou?" Don't go to the battlefield when the time comes, he will cry again! ”
Su Yiming glanced at Jiang Qingyue, although he felt that what she said was a little disrespectful, but he also thought so in his heart.
Zhou Ruian said: "The Divine Warrior Army is a piece of fat, the queen is bound to win, she will definitely think of a foolproof plan, send the second prince over, and then protect him thoroughly, what do you worry about for the queen?" ”
Jiang Qingyue touched his nose, but he glanced at Zhou Rui'an and found that this person looked calm and relaxed.
"It's definitely going to be bad." Jiang Qingyue muttered.
Zhou Ruian glanced at her and smiled without saying a word.
The second prince arrived on the second day of February, and the prince's guard of honor was put out from a long distance, until he arrived in front of the barracks, there was no possibility of Su Yiming blocking the road to ask for his identity, and the second prince entered the barracks smoothly.
Zhou Rui'an and Su Liangyi came out to greet him in person, the second prince is seventeen years old this year, with a delicate appearance, a bit of bookish air on his body, and fair skin, which makes him look a little weak, but in the end, he was born in the royal family, and he has his own bearing.
The second prince helped the two of them for a while, and said softly: "Lord Zhou and General Su are exempt." ”
Zhou Rui'an and Su Liangyi stood up, and Zhou Rui'an spoke: "Your Highness has been driving all the way, so let's go back to the house and rest first." ”
The second prince instinctively wanted to nod, he was really tired, but the people around him stopped him.
"Lord Zhou, military affairs are important, Your Highness is here for the military affairs of the Divine Warrior Army, you must not slack off." A young man beside the second prince spoke.
Zhou Rui'an looked over, his heart jumped, heh, this person is no one else, he is still an old acquaintance, when they were in Zheng County, he asked Jiang Qingyue to pretend to be the son of Xungui, and the one he picked was his identity, Fang Mingkun, the youngest son of the Marquis of Dingyuan.
Marquis Dingyuan is the queen's mother, this time the second prince went out of the hospital, the queen was not at ease, and it was normal for Fang Mingkun to follow and take care of him all the way.
"It turned out to be the little marquis," Zhou Ruian greeted: "In that case, the second prince, please, a dry of paperwork has been prepared." ”
When the second prince heard the word 'one dry', he couldn't help but have a bitter face, but thinking of the queen's advice and Fang Mingkun beside him, he still followed honestly.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhou Ruian handed over the prepared documents to the second prince, and then led people to retreat.
As soon as the people left, the second prince stretched his waist: "Cousin, you can help me see it." ”
Fang Mingkun: "......" He doesn't like to read the paperwork!
"Your Highness! Before leaving, the mother said......"
"Okay, I see, I don't think it's okay?" The second prince looked unhappy, and pressed him with his mother, he used to think that his cousin was a good person and could play with him, but now it seems that he is gone!
The queen mother also has good intentions for the second prince, knowing that the second prince is afraid of hardship and tiredness, and is worried that others will not be able to control him, so she deliberately found Fang Mingkun, who has a good relationship with him, to watch him together, but now it seems that it is indeed effective, as for whether the second prince can listen to it, it is not necessarily.
The queen mother only has a son of the second prince, and she has loved her since she was a child, and everything has been planned for him, which is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, so that the second prince has developed a weak and bitter temperament, anyway, everything has his mother to handle for him.
Now that the second prince wants to take on the brave army alone, the second prince thinks he can't do it!
The queen mother also has no choice, after all, this military power can still be managed by trustworthy people, but there is no one who can replace the military merits, as long as the second prince has real military merits, the emperor can let go and set him up as the crown prince, the age of the seven princes is rising, and they can't wait for the seven princes to become the climate, and it will be too late at that time.
So the queen mother was reluctant, so she still sent the second prince over.
Zhou Ruian returned to the camp tent, and hurriedly asked Jiang Qingyue to come over, Jiang Qingyue was training, she planned to make a few more military exploits, and then she could be promoted, right?
Zhou Rui'an told Jiang Qingyue the news of Fang Mingkun's arrival with a puzzled face.
Jiang Qingyue sighed: "So what? You're the mastermind, I'm an accomplice at best, and besides, aren't we here to solve the case? ”
Zhou Rui'an: "......" Is she shirking responsibility now?
"But I heard that the second prince was exhausted as soon as he came, and he didn't seem to have read all the documents you prepared," Jiang Qingyue gloated and said, "Now that the second prince is here, you shouldn't be able to keep it, right?" Can the emperor still tolerate you to share power with the second prince at the border? ”
What virtue does his son have, can the Holy One not know? As soon as the second prince comes, Zhou Ruian will definitely be recalled to Beijing, and he may not be in such a hurry, but after the second prince is familiar with military affairs, Zhou Rui'an's last value will be gone, and he will definitely have to return to Beijing.
That's why Jiang Qingyue said this, the prince said it ugly, but he was thrown away when he ran out!
Zhou Ruian smiled slightly: "Qingyue, how about we make a bet?" Bet on whether I can stay, if I win, you tell me your secret, if you win, how about I bathe and change your clothes myself? ”
Jiang Qingyue: "......" thinks beautifully!
Jiang Qingyue's face was cold: "I won't bet with you, I don't care if you leave or stay!" ”
Zhou Ruian looked sad: "Qingyue said this, it really makes me sad, I thought you would be reluctant to give me up." ”
Jiang Qingyue opened her mouth, and met his smiling gaze, her handsome face seemed to be smiling, she was suddenly speechless, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
On the day the second prince came, Zhou Ruian and Su Liangyi held a banquet to welcome him, but in the middle of the banquet, they suddenly heard a drum noise outside.
The chopsticks in the second prince's hand almost fell off, and he raised his head in astonishment: "What is this sound outside?" ”
Su Liangyi had already stood up: "The Tartars are attacking!" He paused: "Your Highness, please forgive the last general to retire first!" ”
Su Liangyi strode out, but the second prince was so frightened, this was the first time he had been in contact with the war so closely, and there was a war outside, and he couldn't help but look at Fang Mingkun with no control.
Zhou Ruian looked at the second prince: "Your Highness, please give an order as soon as possible!" ”
"What's the order?" The second prince was stunned.
"Your Highness is now the commander of the Divine Warrior Army, so naturally he has to order to lead the troops into battle!"
Second Prince: "??? "This, his mother didn't say it!
The second prince almost cried, he went to see Fang Mingkun, "Cousin, cousin, think of a way!" ”
What can Fang Mingkun do, he looked at Zhou Rui'an: "Lord Zhou, you know the Divine Warrior Army best, Your Highness has just arrived, or Lord Zhou should order the troops first!" ”
Zhou Ruian looked at the second prince hesitantly, and the second prince looked at him expectantly and said, "Yes, yes, Lord Zhou, don't be polite, hurry up and order troops!" "In case it comes in again!
Zhou Ruian said: "Since His Royal Highness said so, the minister is not welcome." ”
You're welcome!
Zhou Rui'an said: "Your Royal Highness has a noble status, so you should stay in the tent first and send someone to follow the ministers on the expedition." ”
The second prince felt that Zhou Ruian was really a good person, not at all like what his mother said, there was no ill-intentioned intention.
For the first time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince began to doubt his mother's words, and nodded again and again.
Zhou Rui'an led the troops to the battle, this battle was fought for two whole days, the sound of fighting outside was endless, and the second prince stayed in the tent, and it was difficult to sit still.
Many wounded soldiers were sent back, and the whole barracks was filled with the smell of blood, and the second prince smelled the air full of fishy smells, and he was nauseated for a while, he was tense, and he would jump up in fright when he heard the footsteps outside.
"Did the Tartars come in?" The second prince asked nervously.
It was Fang Mingkun who came in, and his face was solemn: "Your Highness, don't panic, it's me." After a pause, he said: "Your Highness, I sent someone to see it just now, this war is about to end, if Your Highness has not shown up, I am afraid that it is a little unreasonable, why don't I send someone to send His Highness out......"
"I don't!" The second prince immediately exploded, jumped up and said, "The sword has no eyes!" I'm not going! ”
Fang Mingkun sighed and said patiently: "Your Royal Highness, your status is noble, and there are guards sent by the queen mother by your side, no one will let you have an accident, if you don't show up all the time, how can you restrain the military heart of the Divine Warriors?" ”
"I am the prince, and I am in charge of the Divine Warrior Army on the orders of my father, how dare they disobey me?" The second prince said as a matter of course.
Fang Mingkun said helplessly: "Your Highness, the Holy Lord can give you the military power, or you can take back the military power, this time the mother took great pains to send His Royal Highness over, so that His Highness can win a few battles, and he has military merits, and military merits are really not snatched away!" If His Royal Highness doesn't even go to the battlefield and returns to the capital, Niangniang's hard work will be in vain. ”
The second prince hesitated, thinking of the way the queen mother was angry, and he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating.
"So, are you sure you'll be fine?" The second prince asked hesitantly.
"Your Highness! It's going to be fine, the mother has already arranged it, how can you let your Highness have an accident? Fang Mingkun said.
The second prince still believed in his queen mother very much, so he nodded reluctantly: "That, that's okay." ”
The war was coming to an end, but it was in the tail stage, and the Tartars began to retreat, and then a sentence came from behind, "Reinforcements are coming!" ”
Zhou Rui'an was covered in blood, and he kicked away the Tartar soldiers who rushed towards him, and when the Tartars heard that there was another reinforcement coming, they hurriedly began to retreat.
Jiang Qingyue walked over, raised his head and looked at the army in the distance, "I really made you right, the second prince is here to pick up ready-made food to eat." ”
Zhou Ruian didn't care, "It's good that he's here, but if he doesn't come, I feel troublesome!" ”
Jiang Qingyue looked at him with a look of deep meaning, and couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm beginning to sympathize with the second prince." ”
As far as the second prince's mind is concerned, for Zhou Rui'an, there is only nothing left to be eaten.
The second prince approached, this was the first time he came to the battlefield, this was really not a beautiful picture, there were corpses everywhere, and the fallen limbs were revealed, the second prince vomited when he saw it, Fang Mingkun helped the second prince with a pale face, and both of them were a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Rui'an ignored the second prince's pale face and said complimentally: "Why did His Highness come here in person?" The battlefield is dangerous, what if there is a mistake? ”
The second prince felt that what Zhou Rui'an said was very reasonable, holding his hand, tears were in his eyes, he didn't want to come, but if he didn't want to come, he wouldn't come, the second prince felt that Zhou Rui'an understood him!
"Lord Zhou, Your Highness has a holy order, and he should have taken the lead." Fang Mingkun looked at Zhou Rui'an hintly.
Zhou Rui'an bowed slightly: "That's true, as soon as His Royal Highness came, he personally led the troops to repel the Tatars, and used the soldiers like gods, which is really my great luck!" After going back, the minister will write it in the memoir. ”
Fang Mingkun breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Ruian was still a little eye-catching.
Jiang Qingyue on the side looked at Fang Mingkun and the second prince with a satisfied look, and felt unbelievable, these two can't be fools, right? Zhou Ruian is calculating you, he is really calculating you! Didn't you even notice? Will Zhou Ruian give away the credit he has received? You don't have brains, can't you think about it?
Jiang Qingyue suddenly thought that Zhou Rui'an had said that there were only two princes who survived under the knees of the saint, and the second prince was the largest, although the seventh prince had never seen it, but looking at the virtue of the second prince, she suddenly worried about the future of Dajing.
The second prince achieved his goal, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, and hurriedly took people away, Zhou Ruian turned his head and looked at Shangjiang Qingyue with a strange expression, and couldn't help but smile.
"How? Have you made a decision to help me? Zhou Ruian asked with a smile.
Have you made your decision, are you going to side with him?
Jiang Qingyue laughed dryly twice and patted him on the shoulder: "I think you can destroy them alone, and you don't need me to do it at all." ”
Zhou Rui'an: "......"
Su Yiming walked over at this time and went straight to Jiang Qingyue, almost "Qingyue, you killed a lot of Tartars this time, right?" Alas, my grandfather also said that the speed of your promotion is too fast, and I am afraid that you will be criticized. ”
Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up: "I, am I going to be promoted again?" How many products are it this time? ”
Su Yiming smiled and shook his head: "Qingyue, I think your marksmanship is very good, where did you learn it?" ”
"My master taught me." Jiang Qingyue said.
"Your master? What is it called? Su Yiming asked quickly.
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Su Yiming, and Su Yiming smiled disguisedly: "I just think that Qingyue's martial arts are strong, and those who can teach a master like you must not be an ordinary person." ”
Jiang Qingyue's gaze was a little inquiring: "Do you know my master? ”
"How do I know that? I'm just asking. ”
"Oh, my master is not famous, just an ordinary martial arts practitioner, and he has never told me about his past." Jiang Qingyue said indifferently.
Although Jiang Qingyue said this, he kept observing Su Yiming's expression, Su Yiming kept asking her about her marksmanship, it was very likely that he knew the source of her marksmanship, and it was even possible to know her master.
But Jiang Qingyue didn't know the origin of his master, not that she didn't ask, but that her master never mentioned it, he just raised her and taught her martial arts, as for the past, he never mentioned it.
Jiang Qingyue's heart moved, if she could know the identity of her master, would she also know the mystery of her life experience?
