Chapter 074: Retention and Rejection
Long Xiang's reason hit the nail on the head, Li Tun had no reason to refute it at all, and the hall suddenly fell silent.
"At present, there is a great drought in Huainan, the grain harvest is poor, and there is no way to do it in the army due to the lack of food.
Yunqi, have you ever thought that if you leave Shouchun easily, maybe you won't even have the porridge and rice to hang your life, you are young and experienced now, and you must not be thoughtful, don't be impulsive. ”
Chen is worthy of being from a big family, and her reasoning is obviously more convincing than Li Tun's, and her views are similar to the iron rice bowl of later generations, with a lower salary but not starvation.
If Long Xiang was an aboriginal in the late Han Dynasty, he would definitely be persuaded by the Chen family, but he came from 2,000 years later.
Long Xiang bowed to the Chen family, and immediately threw the pot to the others, "It's not the impulse of the general, but the result of collective discussion..."
Chen frowned and scolded: "Ridiculous, it seems that you really can't lead troops, how can you be instigated by a pawn as a general?" Complaining about leaving after a little starvation? Have they ever thought about their family in Shouchun? There are wars and famines everywhere, where can I find enough to eat? ”
"Yes, yes, Madame has learned that the last general will indeed not lead troops, and I am worried that if I disagree with them, it may lead to a mutiny, and this matter is clear to Escort Li."
Long Xiang behaved submissively, followed Chen's lesson, and finally pulled Li Tun as circumstantial evidence, and his mediocre appearance jumped on the paper.
Qiao Wei frowned slightly when she saw this scene, and the little gratitude she had just saved in her heart was replaced by the disappointment in front of her at this time, and she said that the mud would not be able to support the wall after all.
Qiao Wan and Qiao Ling both had strange expressions, and neither of them believed Long Xiang's words.
Chen looked disappointed, waved his hand and said, "If they want to go and go with him, why should Yunqi go with him?" In the future, he will follow Li Tun, and he just lacks a deputy..."
"The last general is really not suitable for the army, it's better to go with your comrades, and you can take care of each other..."
"That's fine."
Chen sighed, turned to Qiao Wei and ordered:
"Long Yunqi buried the general, and returned the relics all the way, you go to the account room to get five hundred dollars, and send him to be entangled on the way."
"Okay."
"Miss, slow down."
Qiao Wei was about to leave, but was stopped by Long Xiang in time.
Without waiting for Qiao Wei to ask, Chen frowned and preemptively asked, "Are you too little?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, madam, the last general and his brothers are here, most of them will be isolated from the world, and they shouldn't need money, now that General Qiao is gone, there are many places to use money in the house, don't waste it on the last general..."
Seeing that Long Xiang said sincerely, Qiao Wei turned to look at Chen's eyes and asked for instructions.
"Okay, Yunqi insists on not accepting it, and I won't persuade it."
The so-called trilogy soldiers, that is, the family farms for the master's family, and the young and strong serve as soldiers for the master's family, but the current situation is that Qiao Rui is dead, and Long Xiang is a martyr's orphan, and he has long been out of the category of the trilogy.
As soon as Chen's words fell, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly stopped Long Xiang and asked:
"You're not going to take Luo Yicheng away? During this time, he was very conscientious with Ling'er, and Luo Yicheng was also the general who asked you for it when he was alive..."
Long Xiang promised to take care of the bridge family, and originally planned to leave Luo Yicheng as an eye.
Chen moved all the bridges out at this time, and Long Xiang followed and got off the donkey.
"Although Madame can rest assured, it is Luo Yicheng's blessing to be able to stay by Gongzi's side, but the last general wants to tell him a few words."
"Ling'er, you go and arrange it, send it by the way, I'm a little tired..."
"Yes, Mother."
After Chen's confession, he wanted to go back to the house with his daughter, and Long Xiang saluted one by one when he saw this, and then walked out side by side with Li Tun and Qiao Ling.
Qiao Wei had just taken two steps forward when she suddenly found that Qiao Wan was walking in the opposite direction.
"Where is the second sister?"
"I'm going to deliver it too."
Qiao Wan showed a row of large white teeth.
Qiao Wei frowned and reminded: "The mourning hall will be arranged soon, we have to go back and change into filial piety clothes." ”
"Didn't the third brother change either? I'll come when I go. After Qiao Wan finished speaking, she ran away like a rabbit.
Qiao Wei looked at her sister's back and said to herself: "It's going to be a time next year, and my heart is like a child..."
"Let her go, your father died in the prime of life, how long can she have a good life left? I don't know who I will marry into in the future... Help me go back to the house and change my clothes. ”
"Okay."
Chen's sigh also made Qiao Wei worry that they had lost their father's protection, and they were afraid that it would be difficult for them to find a match, and there was a high probability that they would marry.
Li Tun and Qiao Ling sent Long Xiang to the gate of the mansion, and called Luo Yicheng to say goodbye to his former comrades.
The twenty pawns outside the mansion stood solemnly and neatly, giving people a sense of self-authority without anger.
Qiao Ling looked at the guards in the mansion and felt that there was an obvious gap with these people, so he couldn't help but say to himself: "If you can train such a soldier, how can Long Yunqi not lead the army?" I should have a lot of ability, it's a pity to leave like this..."
"Well, I agree." Qiao Wan also poked her head out and agreed.
Li Tun saw that the two brothers and sisters seemed to be comparing his soldiers, and his face suddenly became a little unbearable, so he said: "Long Yunqi is known to be unable to govern soldiers, he usually doesn't participate in military training at all, these twenty people in front of him should be trained by Tang Yu, but unfortunately there will be no more in the future..."
"Tang Yu?"
Qiao Ling immediately had a picture in his mind, it was the appearance of a bearded man, and he said in his heart that Tang Yu was loyal to Long Xiang, and he didn't know how he died in the end, why didn't a good person live long?
Seeing Qiao Ling in a daze, Qiao Wan stabbed him in the waist with her hand.
"Third brother? Third brother? What do you think? ”
"Huh? Nothing second sister... What's the matter with you? ”
Qiao Wan muttered in a low voice: "Didn't Luo Yicheng say goodbye to his comrades?" Why have you been talking to Long Yunqi? When you come back, you have to ask carefully, I always feel that Long Yunqi is mysterious..."
"Second sister, are you thinking too much?"
Qiao Ling showed a bitter expression, can't people say two more words?
Qiao Wan raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "If you ask, you can ask, there are not so many questions." ”
"Oh..."Qiao Ling nodded slightly.
At this time, Li Tun, who was standing behind the two of them, couldn't help but sigh after listening to the conversation between his sister and brother, and said in his heart that General Qiao was so heroic, but unfortunately among the three children, his son had the weakest personality, and he was afraid that he would not be able to glorify the lintel of the Qiao family.
A few feet away, Luo Yicheng's expression was excited.
"General, can't I go together? The bridge mansion is now protected by Li Tun's troops, whether I am the same or not, it is difficult to follow the third prince every day..."
"Li Tun is Li Tun, we are us."
Long Xiang paused slightly, and then whispered: "When Qi County broke through, if he used more snacks, General Qiao might be able to come back alive, leaving you here not only to protect the third son, but also to take care of Mrs. and Miss, you treat yourself as my eyes." ”
Luo Yicheng looked at the group of comrades, and the old friendship came to his heart.
"Your eyes... So when can I go to everyone? ”
"It is estimated that I will stay a few more days, and the two young ladies will get married at the latest, but I will often send someone to contact you, and your family will have their own uncles to take care of."
"The last general can be saved, I don't worry about my family."
When Luo Yicheng heard that the young lady was married, he knew that his stay would not be short, because Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan needed to keep filial piety for three years.
