Chapter 223 Sudden Rain
Compared with those who are still training, Yongxin's posture is much more standard. Under his leadership, the personality behind him is hard work.
"yes, that's good. I want to practice when I see it. Forget it, though. King Dingnan sighed. Then his eyes were still on the people who were practicing.
Sima Liang looked at King Dingnan, and then looked into the field.
To be honest, he didn't understand this kind of exercise. However, he wouldn't ask much, after all, he wouldn't care about this kind of thing himself. Understood, it doesn't make much sense.
The New Year is over soon, is it time for Yongxin's official position to be decided. Sima Liang's mind drifted to what Yongxin had just said.
Originally, Sima Liang's plan was to let Yongxin go to Pingnan for military training. His two town soldiers are still a lot behind, and they can't be trained in a while.
But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and after the incident in the central capital, Sima Liang temporarily shelved this idea. Although he basically has no chance of winning in the face of the second prince now, he still doesn't dare to let go of the military power in important places to someone who is not very familiar with him.
Now that the situation is tentative, Sima Liang's focus is to be put south, and he doesn't have much energy, so he can select suitable senior generals. Even if it is to let the second prince see his sincerity, or to believe in Yongxin for the time being, it seems to be the best choice to let the other party go to Dingnan.
After thinking about the relationship, Sima Liang planned to talk to Yongxin when he was alone.
"Lord Dingnan, Lord Wang, the practice is okay." Yongxin, who was sweating profusely, lowered his gaze.
At the same time, the people behind him also stopped out of breath.
Bang bang bang.
King Dingnan clapped his hands, "Yes, although there are still a lot of problems, but on the whole, it's still good, keep it up." ”
"I don't really understand, since Uncle Huang said so. Then it must be good, go back and Yongxin count the people present, report it to the third son, and get some reward money for each person. It's just over the New Year, so it's hard to come so early. Sima Liang agreed.
Hearing the reward, the slightly tired trainers smiled one after another.
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
The energetic reply made Sima Liang a little weak. I thought: It seems that what Uncle Huang said is quite right, and I will have to come out more in the future. It's a bit empty to stay in the house all the time.
After watching this drill, Sima Liang and King Dingnan came to the hunting ground again. This time, Yongxin also came.
Out of appreciation, King Dingnan and Yongxin raced horses. Sima Liang is very happy about this, at least as a spectator, there is no need to be tossed.
Drive...... drive
The two black horses went out almost at the same time, and the dust raised made Xiao Xinzi, who helped King Nan get on the horse, eat a lot.
Looking at the gray-faced other party, Sima Liang smiled and handed over a handkerchief.
"Lord Wang, there are slaves."
"Use it for you, just use it. Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Yes, lord."
This little eunuch is even more wooden than the little third son. Sima Liang didn't have much thought about this. For him, it's nothing more than just a person to serve.
I don't know where Xiao Shunzi is and what he is doing. Hope to see him again, and hope never to see him.
Sitting in a chair, Sima Liang looked up at the sky. Looking at the continuous dark clouds, he slowly closed his eyes.
In Sima Liang Xiaotian's time, King Dingnan and Yongxin ran to the edge of the hunting ground, and because the horses were the same, the speed of the two was almost incomparable.
"Yongxin, yes, you can actually keep up with me."
"It's just luck, if it was in the early years, I would definitely not be able to catch up with Lord Dingnan." Yongxin smiled modestly.
"Pick what sounds good." King Dingnan smiled and shook his head.
The horses were tired, and the two did not plan to ride them for the time being. So he dismounted and led the walk.
"Yongxin, I'm in Zhongdu, and I've heard Your Majesty mention you. He admires you and believes in you. Of course, I think you should also know why Your Majesty asked you to come to Xiaoliu's subordinates. ”
Talking about the second prince, Yongxin changed his previous honesty and revealed a complicated expression.
"I know why the second prince sent me. But the matter of Zhongdu still makes Zai Xia very concerned. Of course, he is now under the command of Lord Yanwang, and no matter how much he cares about the affairs of Zhongdu, he will not participate in and understand. ”
Hearing the answer, King Dingnan stopped, "You are right to do this, and you will continue to do so in the future." Fulfill your duties, don't think too much about what you shouldn't know. ”
"Yes." Yongxin nodded.
King Dingnan and Yongxin talked about some military matters. But after chatting for a while, the sky changed.
Dark clouds rolled and obscured the sun in one fell swoop. Looks like it's going to rain soon.
"The weather in Yancheng is still the same as always, and it will change." King Dingnan sighed.
"I can't help it, Lord Dingwang, the horse is almost over. Let's go back first. It's not good to get wet. ”
"Well, let's go."
Drive...... Drive......
King Dingnan and Yongxin mounted their horses and began their return journey.
Click.
A cool drop of rain drifted onto Sima Liang's cheek. Feeling the coolness, he opened his eyes.
Looking at the paper umbrella above his head, Sima Liang looked at Xiao Xinzi on the side.
"Lord Wang, it's raining. Sorry, the minions didn't hold up. ”
"It's none of your business, don't blame yourself." Sima Liang comforted him a few words, and then looked around.
The rain is dripping and falling faster and faster. The raindrops when Sima Liang opened his eyes were all connected into a line.
"The sky of Yancheng is really weird. I thought it was a good day, but I didn't expect it to rain. I don't know if Yongxin and Uncle Huang have come back. Sima Liang wasn't worried about Yongxin, he was only afraid that something would happen to King Dingnan.
This rain, in case the horse stumbles and the king of Dingnan has an accident, it will be another trouble.
I hope you come back safely.
Sima Liang looked at the hill and waited expectantly.
Gradually, the rain became heavier and heavier. The paper umbrella above his head is a little unbearable.
"Lord Wang, let's go to the carriage or wait in the next room first. The minions just watched here. The third son was worried that Sima Liang was too wet, so he reminded him.
"No, Uncle Huang won't come back. I couldn't rest assured. The clothes are wet and it's all right. Sima Liang still stood in place, his gaze unchanged.
The rain was pouring down, and Sima Liang, who was waiting in the rain, felt the chill and shivered unconsciously. After a moment, he smiled. "That's right, those should be two dark horses." He gestured to a black figure looming in the rain.
"Yes, Lord Wang, it should be Lord Dingnan and Sergeant Yongxin who are back." Nobuko Ko confirmed.
Soon, the dark shadow was getting closer and closer, and Sima Liang also saw the people above clearly. That is the king of Dingnan and Yongxin. The two of them held the reins of their horses and laughed wantonly.
Seeing this, Sima Liang was speechless. He was scared here, but the two of them were like no one, and they seemed to be having a good time.
"You run back first. I'll pick up Uncle Huang. ”
"Yes, lord."
Xiao Xinzi trotted in the rain and hid under the eaves not far away.
Sima Liang came to King Dingnan with an umbrella, "Uncle Huang, hurry up." Leave the horse alone, let the next person pull it later. ”
"How can this work, so you can accompany me. And it's already soaking wet, two more steps, it makes no difference. Is it Yongxin. ”
"What Lord Dingnan said is reasonable. Lord Wang, let's go first, this is very muddy, don't fall and get dirty. Yongxin said.
This imperial uncle is really weird. And how can this Yongxin follow and coax me, and make me so weak.
Sima Liang had some opinions in his heart, but he didn't show it. Instead, he made an umbrella for the king of Dingnan all the way and entered the stable.
The rain was heavy, and even if you had an umbrella, you could only keep your hair wet.
The three of them, soaked through, came to the place where they had watched people practice before.
Sima Liang and King Dingnan were led into the room. Yongxin pulled the door and went out again.
"Wait a minute, two adults, go down and get a few sets of clean practice clothes."
"Go ahead."
After Yongxin left, King Dingnan took off his clothes with a big grin. Faced with this situation, Sima Liang could only take it off.
Soon, the two were left with only personal belongings.
There is no harm without contrast. Although the king of Dingnan is over half a hundred, his strong body with many scars looks full of masculinity.
But when it comes to Sima Liang's side, it is difficult to guess that he is a man just by looking at his back.
Fair and shiny skin is estimated to be difficult for many women to have. Just the right amount of fat to add a bit of plumpness. If it weren't for turning around, there would be vaguely visible muscle outlines, which saved Sima Liang's identity as some men. He estimated that he would be ridiculed by the king of Dingnan.
Of course, there will definitely be a few sentences like this now.
"Little Liu, you said you were a princess, wouldn't it be better?" King Dingnan hammered Sima Liang on the chest.
After stumbling a few steps, Sima Liang smiled awkwardly, "Maybe." I'll exercise more in the future, it won't be like this. ”
After experiencing today, Sima Liang can be regarded as aware of his shortcomings. He didn't want to be questioned about his masculinity anymore.
After shivering for a while, Yongxin returned. It can be regarded as saving Sima Liang.
The three of them changed into ordinary practice clothes. Light the stove and start drying your hair and clothes.
Non-stop sound of rain, quiet room. It's always cranky.
"I came to Yancheng before, and I was also wet once. I didn't expect to get wet again this time. However, it was quite interesting to have someone to accompany me this time. King Dingnan sighed.
"This is the first time I have been wet in Yancheng, maybe it's fate." Yongxin smiled.
Sima Liang didn't feel like the two of them. He just thought that he had an umbrella, but he was still drenched. I feel like I'm still not prepared enough.
"The rain in Yancheng is really hard to guess. Even if you bring an umbrella, it may not be useful. ”
There was something in Sima Liang's words, which made King Dingnan and Yongxin both distracted.
Immediately, the three fell silent.
After a long time, the sound of rain was quiet. Sima Liang walked to the window and pushed it open.
"The rain is light, and it looks like it's going to stop soon."
"Then go back, the clothes won't dry for a while. This rain is not easy to run a horse to. King Dingnan said.
"Okay. Yongxin, you also go back and change your clothes. It's wet, and it's not easy to stay. Sima Liang looked at Yongxin.
"No, back and forth, it's too long to waste. I'm in good shape and my training clothes are sufficient. You and Lord Dingnan will go back first. ”
"Okay."
Sima Liang and King Dingnan wore training clothes and sat in the carriage with undried clothes.
It wasn't until the carriage disappeared that Yongxin slowly walked back to the house. He sighed as he looked at the man who was preparing to train again.
"Why do you have a feeling that the mountain rain is coming, I hope it's just an illusion."
