Chapter 254: Coaxing
Ji Chengen knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this topic again, otherwise he would be confused, and I was afraid that he would have to promise Li Yong something, and he would have to go back to discuss this matter with Yanran.
Thinking of this, Ji Chengen looked at the eldest son next to him, and saw that Ji Yuanheng also couldn't bear it.
"Let's talk about these things when we go back," Ji Chengen said, "It's important to transport the grain and grass to the frontier first, General Wei and the Duke of Protector are waiting." ”
Although he didn't promise him directly, he still left room for him, how afraid his father-in-law would ignore him when he saw him, and the sentence "little friend" on the letter still made him still frightened.
If he messes up the ranks, even if he says anything, it's useless.
"Is Yanran okay?" Ji Chengen asked.
Li Yong said: "Yanran is fine, I just miss you and my mother-in-law very much, we have renovated the old house of the family, and we are waiting for you to go back and reunite with the family." ”
Ji Chengen's eyes were hot: "This kid is not easy. ”
Li Yong took a cloth bag from the hand of his entourage and sent it to Ji Chengen: "This is made for you by Yanran, Yanran knows that you have fallen ill on your waist in the frontier over the years, and I am afraid that the carriage and horse will become more and more heavy, so I specially told you to wear it." ”
Looking at the not very delicate Hu Yao, Ji Chengen's hands trembled slightly: "This kid ...... Did you really learn medicine from Master Shikong? She didn't like to read books when she was a kid. ”
"It's different now," Li Yong said, "you were exiled, she was saddened, and after some tempering over the years, not only did she learn to read and write, but her temperament also became more tenacious, I am afraid you will be a little surprised when you see it." ”
Like a bird, it leaves that warm nest before it can really fly.
Ji Chengen smiled: "It's really grown up," he paused slightly when he said this, "I have received the letter I wrote to you before." ”
Sure enough, I brought it up.
Li Yong's eyes were slightly downcast, dispelling those bad feelings from his mind, and the whole person became serious, which made Ji Chengen a little surprised.
Li Yongdao: "Although my father-in-law didn't say anything in the letter, I can also sense that the situation in Hebei Province is very serious. Although Yan Ran didn't say it, I knew that she was also very worried. Whether it's you, General Wei, or the defenders of Hebei Province, this time it's already a desperate gamble. ”
Ji Chengen was silent, he clearly didn't mention half a word about Hebei Province, how could Li Yong think so much from "between the lines".
Ji Chengen said: "Since you already know, why do you still want to come?" He looked at Li Yue and Ran Liu next to him.
Li Yong stared at Ji Chengen: "We can win this battle, we all have to go back, we can't make Yanran sad, I was ignorant in the past, my marriage with Yanran was not handled well, and after returning to Beijing, the two high-ranking halls are on top, and I will marry Yanran again." ”
"What did you say?" Ji Chengen frowned and said, "Where is there such a thing, don't you Li family want to be laughed at." ”
If the husband's family is not at fault, how can they re-marry.
Li Yong said solemnly: "I don't care about this, as long as I can be with Yanran...... Father-in-law, rest assured, from now on, I will not let Yanran be wronged again. ”
Before meeting Li Yong, Ji Chengen dreamed of returning to the capital to take his daughter away from the Li family. Yanran was messing around, and Li Yong could be regarded as punishing her.
He knew that they were at fault in this matter, but the habit of protecting his shortcomings made him full of anger towards Li Yong.
Now this anger is slowly dissipating.
"Lord Li," the adjutant general came over to say, "the scout has been found ahead. ”
Needless to say, it must be someone sent by Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran will soon know that the Jiang family army in Ao Cang has all been killed.
"Do you want to cut people off?" The adjutant immediately asked.
Li Yong shook his head: "No, Jiang Ran is a person who will take revenge, as long as he has an enmity with him, he will be engraved on the stone in his hand, until that person is killed, he will smash the stone." He should also have my Li Yong's name in his hand, so that I am a bait, as long as I am here, I am not afraid that Jiang Ran will not come. ”
After Jiang Ran got the news, the team escorting grain and grass was already very close to the border town of Hebei Province, a sneer appeared on his face, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he looked at the scout: "Say it again." ”
"The people we sent were all killed by the rebels who were rioting."
"Where did the rebels come from? Those people left by the Wei family in Aocang? Jiang Ran sneered, "They can also kill my subordinates?" Now the one who has this ability is Li Yong. ”
Only Li Yong dared to do this.
"Very good," Jiang Ran sneered, "I'm worried that there will be no one to grind my stone." ”
Jiang Ran had already received a letter from Jiang Jinyu, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill the Ji family's father and son, Li Yong and Li Cheng, and it was best that Ran Liu and Gu Heng should not let go.
Li Yong had the blood of the Jiang family on his hands, and this time he wanted Li Yong's blood debt to be repaid.
"Let's go," Jiang Ran said, "and leave for Hebei Province." ”
……
Lin Rang would think of Chang Ning every time he stood on the city wall, because Chang Ning said that he hoped that one day she would be able to fight with the Lin family's soldiers and horses.
Lin Rang has always regarded this as Chang Ning's child's words, and then his sister-in-law fell ill, and the little Chang Ning visited Master Shikong to study medicine, if it wasn't for the illness in his teens, maybe he would have really sneaked to the battlefield.
In fact, Chang Ning was very squeamish when he was a child, and he would cry milkily at every turn, and the tears kept falling as if he didn't want money, and his brother was very strict with his children, and no one in the family was allowed to come forward to coax, and he also said that if no one paid attention to her for a while, she would stop.
But he always couldn't help but tease Chang Ning at a critical moment, raising his eyebrows and lowering his eyebrows while others were not paying attention, or winking at her.
Then she would laugh.
Such a child should live this life without worries.
"General, the grain and grass will arrive tomorrow."
Lin Rang couldn't help but be happy when he heard the news, the city was already crumbling, and this news was the most exciting.
"Here comes the grain and grass."
Lin Rang shouted, and cheers immediately rang out on the city wall.
Ji Chengen and Li Yong entered the city when it was about to get dark, and most of the people in the city had already left, and the faces of the officers and soldiers defending the city were full of dead ashes, but they still persisted.
Ji Chengen was excited in his heart, as long as he could come here, he would have no regrets, and even if he died, he would die well.
Lin Rang welcomed Ji Chengen and Li Yong into the military tent.
As soon as a few people sat down, another herald sent news, it was a letter from Jiang Ran, and Lin Rang frowned when he looked at it.
"How?" Ji Chengen couldn't help but ask about the past.
Lin Rang looked at Li Yong slowly: "Jiang Ran's army is about to arrive, but there is not much grain and grass to carry, Jiang Ran asked Li Yong to bring grain and grass to respond." ”
This is clearly to let Li Yong go to the meeting alone.
Ji Chengen was about to object, but a crisp female voice preemptively said, "I can't go." ”
