Celebration feast
She was willing to ask this question, did it already mean that she was willing to accept herself as an apprentice, and when the boy looked up again, his eyes were almost full of joy:
"Master, my name is Liu Ling."
Liu Ling finished answering her name and knelt on the ground: "From now on, if the master does not dislike it, I am willing to serve by the master's side all the time." ”
Li Hanning knew in his heart that they would only stay in Liangzhou City for a while, wait for the weather to improve, wait for the soldiers to rest for a while, and then they would march westward in the near future, and they would not stay here for too long.
This kid wants to grow up in Liangzhou City, I don't know if he wants to?
Li Hanning looked at the child in front of him and asked, "You said that you want to learn martial arts with me, then let me ask you, does your family know about this?" If your father and mother know that you worship me as a teacher in Luoyang, and you will go to other places with me in the future, will your father and mother be willing? ”
Li Hanning is a general in the barracks, sometimes leading troops to fight, it is inevitable to sleep in the open or encounter danger, maybe Li Hanning can still take care of him when he is not busy, but when the war really starts, Li Hanning may not have time to watch him, the sword on the battlefield is infinite, if he is injured, or encounters a more dangerous situation, Li Hanning has no way to ensure the safety of a child.
Liu Ling obviously hesitated for a moment when she heard the word "parents", but she quickly replied truthfully: "Back to Master's words, I was born without parents, and when my parents fled the famine, they kicked me and my sister off the carriage for their own lives and my brother's life, and since then I have been separated from them, and then I and my sister, and many of us have been displaced to Liangzhou together, at the beginning when there was no war here, Lord Shen Kuo Shen and those adults surnamed Tian in Tianfu would organize alms of porridge and rice, and my sister and I were placed in Liangzhou. ”
It turns out that he also has a sister who depends on each other.
Li Hanning asked with some hesitation when he heard this: "Then your sister-"
Liu Ling heard these two words and then explained: "I also died, I died during the epidemic last year, and many people died in Liangzhou City during the epidemic last year, but fortunately, she didn't suffer any crime when she died, and people didn't have it when they were unconscious, last year Liangzhou didn't have an anti-imperial court, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court trapped many people in the temple and burned them alive, I secretly buried my sister outside the city outside the deserted temple, so if there is really a god or Buddha they say in the temple, I think they can also bless my sister to have a good family in the future, and stop coming to our family to suffer. ”
Li Hanning bent down to help him up, facing Liu Ling, who looked so thin and weak in front of him, and was just a child, he had experienced so much before, no wonder these eyes didn't look like a child at all.
However, the past has now passed, and Li Hanning will teach him what he wants to learn in the future.
Li Hanning said seriously to the people in front of him: "I bowed to my teacher when you knelt just now, you can call me Master in the future, or you can call me General Li like them, I am often in the barracks, and when I go back and introduce you to several other generals, they are all very good and easy to get along with, you can rest assured of this." ”
The people in the Luoyang army are indeed very good, and they are better than the people he has met along the way.
Li Hanning suddenly thought of something again, seeing that Liu Ling's clothes were so thin, now although the beginning of spring, Liangzhou and Bingzhou City seem to be a little cold, even Li Hanning and people like Li Hanning who practice martial arts all year round sometimes inevitably feel that the weather is cold, Liu Ling's clothes are indeed so thin, I think that although I will not starve to death in Liangzhou City for the time being, it is probably not good to eat and dress.
Li Hanning looked at the person in front of him and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, you said that you live in Liangzhou City, which street are you on?" ”
Although that place is a bit shabby to say, after all, it is the place where he has always stayed, and now that she asked, Liu Ling felt that there was nothing to hide for his master:
"Back to Master, since I entered the city for more than a year, I have been living in a broken temple in the southeast corner of Liangzhou City, the original incense was quite vigorous, and there were many monks and abbots in the temple, but this year Liangzhou City has always been fighting, and gradually it is dilapidated, and those monks have left, after they are gone, I and a few other children who have nowhere to go will be crowded in that broken temple at night."
In this way, there are still a few children like him in Liangzhou City, but it's a pity that Li Hanning's ability is limited one by one, and he can't help other children at all except Liu Ling in front of him.
But it's okay to do a little bit.
Li Hanning lowered her head and untied the bag on her waist, which was a little broken silver that she had carried with her when she went out today, and she handed the bag in her hand to Liu Ling in front of her:
"This is for you, you can give it to the children who live in the temple with you, you have a day to say goodbye to them, tomorrow this time, you take this bag in your hand to the city lord's mansion, if the guards at the door stop you, you can hand them this bag, they will let you in to find me."
As soon as Liu Ling took the bag, when he heard the voice inside, he understood that there were a lot of broken silver in the bag, and they couldn't ask for such a valuable thing, but when they thought that the silver in it was enough for the children in the temple to eat for a month or two, Liu Ling still accepted it, he always felt that he would not accept Li Hanning's things in vain, and he would repay her one day in the future.
"Thank you, Master."
Li Hanning knew in her heart that these silver were just some dispensable things outside her body, but for people like them, they could be exchanged for three meals a day that could make people eat and drink, Li Hanning nodded and said, "Go, see you tomorrow." ”
Li Hanning watched Liu Ling go away, but she didn't expect to meet such a child on the street today, if she didn't choose to enter the Li Mansion and become the guard of the Li Mansion when she was young, would she also be on the street like Liu Ling, for a moment, Li Hanning felt that Liu Ling was really similar to her own situation at the beginning, but Liu Ling please remember clearly that she was thrown out of the carriage by her biological parents, but she has completely forgotten the place where she was born when she was a child.
The idle time always seems to be extraordinarily fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the celebration banquet of the three armies set by Xiao Ce, Xiao Ce single-handedly promoted Tian Yan, who had previously returned to Shun, to become the lord of Liangzhou City, and ordered the people who had been loyal to assist Shen Kuo in Bingzhou City to become the city lord of Liangzhou City, and several people were there today, and Lu Changfeng also rushed to Liangzhou day and night, and it was the first time that these generals had gathered so well without a war.
At present, above the main seat is Xiao Ce, and there are two deputy seats next to him, Lu Changfeng on the left, Li Hanning on the right, and Ning Yu, Feng Zhe and others who followed Xiao Ce all the way to the south and the north.
Li Hanning thought from time to time that if Cheng An was still alive now, if he hadn't died in the north, her current position would have been Cheng An's.
The banquets in Chang'an are often staggered, singing and dancing, and the court specializes in raising pianists and drummers who are good at playing music, which is for the moment of the banquet, but the banquet in front of him is different, Xiao Ce does not plan to be extravagant and wasteful, but everyone simply gets together for a meal.
However, what the generals in their several barracks like the most is to get together to drink, in the past, there were military affairs, and the most they drank was a small pot, unlike today, they could drink heartily, and even Feng Zhe dared to go up to persuade Xiao Ce's wine, this back and forth, the guards on the side had already picked up more than a dozen empty jars.
Li Hanning once heard them muttering below: "In the end, they are all generals, they can still sit upright after more than a dozen altars, this amount of alcohol-"
Occasionally, someone came to Li Hanning to drink, and Li Hanning also returned a few glasses, at first Li Hanning thought that he would teach Liu Ling swordsmanship tomorrow, so he took some drink, but Feng Zhe had to provoke.
"Why does General Li drink so many drinks a few days? This is not your old style, what's wrong, a few victories have made your alcohol consumption smaller? No wonder they all say that you people in Dongying are stingy and can't drink. ”
When it comes to Dongying, it's not just her problem, Li Hanning glanced at the empty seats on the side, and suddenly remembered that her adjutant general General Chen Siyu took a ten-day leave to go back to Luoyang during the day today, it seems that someone in the family is sick, and he is indeed the only one who comes from Dongying at this banquet at the moment, although the Luoyang army is now under the control of Xiao Ce, but there are still occasional comparisons between the soldiers of each battalion, and she, as the general of Dongying, must not lose face in their Dongying anywhere.
Li Hanning also sent the guards on the side to replace the wine glass with the wine bowl in the hands of Lu Changfeng and Feng Zhe: "We have never lost when we performed martial arts in Dongying, and naturally we drank too." ”
Feng Zhe looked at the wine bowl in her hand with satisfaction, and then nodded, Li Hanning at this time was like the heroic female general he knew:
"Come and dry this bowl, my Feng Zhe's words are placed here! If you don't drink tonight, no one will want to step out of this door! ”
Li Hanning drank bowl after bowl tonight, until he was indeed a little unstable on his feet, during which Xiao Ce also came down and stretched out his hand to stop him, but how did he know that once the position of the general wanted to save face, it would be impossible to admit defeat, Li Hanning hurriedly said to her Highness:
"Your Highness, don't worry, it's just a little wine, my amount of wine is really good, you see them-"
Ning Yu no longer knows when he has been helped down to rest, Lu Changfeng is also Ning Yu no longer knows when he has been helped down to rest, Lu Changfeng is also Ning Yu no longer knows when he has been helped down to rest, and so is Lu Changfeng
