Chapter 167: Orphans
General Liu Shen shouted, "Someone, someone." ”
Two soldiers ran in and said, "General, what's the matter?" ”
"Go find a stretcher, I'm going to meet the old prince, just say I have something important to see him, hurry up."
The two little soldiers standing guard at the gate had already been ordered, and now they were looking at him with a look of embarrassment.
"Why, I don't even need you two now. Don't forget, the old prince hasn't removed my position as a counselor yet! ”
"I'll bear the guilt myself, and I can't blame you, so go quickly."
The two soldiers glanced at each other, knowing that they were afraid that they would not be able to hide this matter, so they immediately knelt down and said, "Don't hide it from you." ”
"The old prince gave an order early in the morning to let you live in this house to recuperate, and you can't leave this house for half a step without his permission."
Yes, he has been recuperating from his wounds for days and has not been able to move, so he has never been out of this house.
I didn't know that the old prince had left this order, and General Liu was so angry that he snorted on the couch.
"Okay, if I don't go out, you should quickly send someone to send a message to the old prince and see what the old prince has to say?"
A small soldier immediately got up and said, "I'm just going to report to the old prince, please wait with peace of mind." ”
"Go, go, go," Liu Shen waved his hand as if he had been hit, and the two minions exited the door at the same time.
The leader of the dark position floated down from the beam of the house again, and said, "Your acting skills have really regressed, I think it was much better than this back then." ”
General Liu Shen glared at him even more angrily and said, "Do you still want to be back then?" ”
"Now, you are the leader of the Dark Guard, and I am just a small general, how can I compare with you?"
These two people were also one of the first group of orphans adopted by the old prince.
It's just that he didn't join the training of the dark guard, but joined the military camp, and became the first right-hand man of Lord Xia in a bright and bright way.
Therefore, he and these two leaders not only know each other, but also support each other to train together, and have worked hard for many years.
The leader of the dark guard felt a little funny, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't know how good I can be, but I don't know how good my temper is." “”
Liu Shen was so angry that he picked up the pillow and threw it on him, and as soon as the leader of the dark guard raised his hand, he returned the pillow to his body and said.
"Alright, don't make a fuss."
"Wait for a while, wait for the little soldier to come back in a while, you still have a furious scene to play, now hurry up and gather your strength and rest." I think that back then, they were all a group of little flowers who begged for a living on the street, and it was the old prince who thought about training a group of guards on a whim.
Not only to defend the frontier, but also to defend his children who have not yet grown up.
Therefore, he sent people to search for more than a dozen little orphans with roots and bones in the north and south of the river.
Gathered them together and sent them into a training ground under the Dark Guard.
Liu Ru, the leader of the dark guard, and Liu Yan, the general of the staff, met at that time, and they were not well fed and warmly clothed.
I don't know where the next meal is, and I fight with wild dogs all day long for some food, and I grab land with those old beggars.
Later, he was sent to the training ground by the old prince, and there were not only people to take care of him to eat and drink every day.
I won't beat them yet, scolding them is just a little bit, and they need to train well.
If you fail to meet the training standards for three consecutive times, you will be sent out of the training ground immediately.
Then, the fate of being sent out of the training ground, they also know very well, it must be back to the days when they were hungry.
It's just that all of a sudden a good life has passed, and who is willing to live that poor pig and dog life is not as good as that, so they all gritted their teeth and stubbornly carried the initial trial.
The little people formed a deep friendship at that time.
After years of training, they finally grew into seventeen or eighteen-year-old young men, and the leader of the Dark Guard was determined to become a Secret Guard.
He may yearn for the feeling of being in the barracks, so he came to the frontier with the eldest prince of Xia.
started as a big soldier, how many years have passed, and he has also achieved the position of a famous general.
And Liu Ru, the leader of the secret guard, has done a series of imperceptible things such as investigating intelligence for the old prince over the years, cleaning up enemies, ending his life, etc., all of which he has done in secret.
He also did a very good job before he was promoted to the position of chief.
Counting the days, they hadn't seen each other for almost ten years.
The last time General Liu Yan returned to Beijing with General Xia's change of defense, the leader Liu Ru was sent to the southwest to do business.
They didn't see it, the last time Liu Shen returned to Beijing to report on his work.
The leader, Liu Ru, is stepping up the training of another batch of newcomers, and he is busy with the things at hand.
Now it's the first time they've seen each other in almost a decade.
As soon as they met, this was General Xia lying on the couch unable to move, but the leader was standing in front of him unharmed, greeting him.
This kind of gap, how can it not make Liu Shen dissatisfied? Because of these things, he was not angry with this leader, but these two leaders were a few years older than him.
When he was young, he benefited him everywhere, and he did not want to be like him.
Seeing him suffer this catastrophe now, even if he can't bear it, this is a ploy, and it is also the only way to clear his suspicion.
At present, it is not clear which high-powered general in the city has passed through the Turkic thieves.
At this time, it would naturally be good if he could take the lead and clear his suspicions in front of the old prince and General Xiao Xia.
Although he looked at Liu Shen Jiang could only lie on the bed, he was somewhat heartbroken, just for a better future, and now he also needs to endure this.
Years of life as a secret guard have made him dislike to talk to people, even if his heart turns a thousand times, he doesn't show a trace on his face.
He just said, "You can take care of your injuries." As he spoke, he jumped lightly onto the beam.
How can General Liu not know the thoughts of his elder brother?
grew up together, although they also understand that the life of the secret guard seems to be glamorous, and the position of leader is under the old prince alone and above tens of thousands of people.
But the hardships are not enough for outsiders.
Not to mention this age, it is still necessary to get married and have a daughter, and it is impossible to think that it is impossible in this life.
When to step back? In the rivers and lakes, spend the rest of your life in peace, and you can get married when you meet a suitable woman from a good family.
It's just a life of licking blood with a knife, who can say for sure?
When will you be able to retire in peace, and not die without a place to bury?
General Liu Shen is also hanging for his eldest brother, for so many years, this heart has not been put down, so he thinks that he is also how much better than the eldest brother?
In this bitter cold land on the border, he has stayed for so many years, and he has never married a wife or children, so it is unlikely that he will come.
Now, General Xia and his wife have encountered such a catastrophe again.
His little master, at such a difficult time, he would definitely not abandon him, so when the old prince discussed this kind of thing with him, he agreed without thinking about it.
He also wanted to find out who the inner ghost was, so he could comfort the spirits of General Xia and his wife in the sky.
The little soldier who gave the order here, through layers of investigation, finally came to the old prince's courtyard and saw him.
The person who brought it over said, "Lord Qiqi, General Liu Shen wants to meet the old prince." ”
This person also snorted coldly and said, "What face does he have to see Lao Wang now, and let him take care of his injuries." ”
"When you heal from this injury, you will get out of the barracks for me."
"It's not his turn yet, let's make a lot of nonsense here, General Xia and his wife have just gone to the immortals, and they dare to be so disrespectful to the little master, how can he have a time to live."
"I think the old prince is too kind-hearted, these thirty boards didn't send him away directly, and let him jump so much to meet the old prince."
"Tell him to go back, let him wait for his injury to heal, and wait for me to learn martial arts with him again."
"I am bound to let everyone understand that his position as a general is just General Xia's charity to him, looking at the position he has given without merit and hard work over the years."
"He's a straw bale, what real skills does he have?"
This leader is the confidant of the old prince.
The little soldier who came to report was scolded by him, and at this time he was cowering, not daring to say a word, and listening to the noise outside.
The old prince sent someone over and asked, "My lord, what's going on outside?" The old prince was also woken up.
Someone turned his head and snorted, and the little soldier said, "It's all you damned people, who woke up the old prince." ”
He turned his head to the man and said in a good voice.
"You go back to the old prince, it's not a big deal."
"It's these generals who are not satisfied with the status quo, and they still want to meet the old prince and say something that is not true."
The servant nodded and left.
And the little soldiers who came to report were naturally familiar with the generals.
At this time, he added with a weak heart, "The general is not such a person, maybe he really has something, and please ask the little brother to give me a message." ”
The servant who turned and left. was stopped by his words, and when he looked back, he also nodded.
And the person who spoke to him at the beginning was even more angry at this time.
"Okay, you dare not even listen to my words, I am the first pioneer under the old prince's account, don't you recognize me?"
"Under my nose, I still do such a rumor-mongering thing, and someone will fork this person out for me."
"Throw it back into the courtyard of their general, and don't let him come out again."
And the old prince who heard the next person's message here also put down the tea bowl and said heavily.
"Tell General Liu, tell him that he doesn't have to work in vain, when the discussion is ready, he will go back to the capital with me, if you want to come to this border in the bitter cold, his body has persisted for so many years, and he can't hold on."
"It's time to say goodbye to the old man and give the recruits eggs below. Make a room. ”
