Chapter 6 Reminiscences
This whole event is very old-fashioned, when the first emperor was alive, the old general was stationed at the border pass, and Chen Bin was left in Lingcheng as the prince's companion, and this situation was not broken until Chen Ping was born.
The old general wrote to the emperor on the grounds that his son inherited his father's business, and begged for permission to keep Chen Bin by his side and cultivate.
Chen Ping's birth gave the first emperor no reason to refuse, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister at that time was far less tense than it is now.
Slowly, with the frequent occurrence of border battles, the old general's successive victories made the people cheer.
The people living in the border pass gradually spread the remarks that the old general was the god of war, and the relationship between Ling Cheng and the border pass became tense unilaterally, and the old general had no choice but to write a letter to show his loyalty.
It wasn't until the death of a veteran general in a war that this tense atmosphere slowly changed.
Chen Bin was ordered to guard the border as a major general, and he did his best in every battle, and his methods were tough and ruthless.
The people at the border pass live in hardship, and there are constant wars every year, Chen Bin wants to work hard to end this situation as soon as possible and let the people live a stable life!
He was more militarily astute and strategically thoughtful than the old general, so much so that in the eyes of the common people, there was only a general and no king of Lingcheng.
Chen Bin has been trying to resolve the contradictions, the old general often said that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, so when Lingcheng was in a hurry to recruit back, Chen Bin led the order to return to Beijing.
He also thinks he knows something about the emperor, after all, he was the prince's companion when he was a child. However, the reality gave him a blow to the head, it was he who didn't recognize it, and it was he who overestimated the emperor's mind.
As soon as he entered Lingcheng, he was imprisoned for being impeached by the officials, and he was said to have despised the imperial power for many years, and no one in the huge court questioned this charge.
The Chen family threw their heads and shed blood at the border pass to protect them from living in Lingcheng, but they wanted him to die, how ridiculous!
Chen Bin thought that he would be very uncomfortable, but his heart was as calm as a stormy lake, he looked at Wen Yi and said: "Wen Yi, I feel like a fool, everything I desperately guarded became a joke in the end, and I didn't know how to persist in the future for a while." β
Wen Yi's heart was dull at the moment, all this is normal and abnormal, this is what the master said.
Wen Yi knew that she should share the same hatred with him, but she wanted him to be comfortable, so she persuaded: "You are not stupid, neither is the old general, you were not for the first emperor or the current emperor from the beginning, the old general was stationed in the bitter cold place of the border because of a simple person's order?" Are you? Aren't the people you want to protect at the border gates? The emperor's order is only one reason why you are stationed at the border pass, and I believe that more reasons that can make you willing to hold your position for ten years are the people who have been living in the border war for a long time; It's the people who are obviously very kind, but they are helpless; It's the people who just want to thank you and cause you trouble. They are kind and innocent, they are not wrong with this disaster, you and the old general are not wrong, it is Ling Cheng who is at fault, you can't let yourself fall into confusion and self-loathing because of his mistakes. Don't punish yourself for the mistakes of others, you go into battle for the people to kill the enemy, the people are grateful to you, and they are proud of you in their hearts, this is a two-way emotion, and you are not wrong. As for Ling Cheng and Chen Bin, I only know that I will fight back the person who beat me, even if the strength does not allow it, but so what, the eldest husband is not afraid of life and death, and his head has a big scar! As long as you are worthy of yourself, you will have no fear or regrets. β
Chen Bin was stunned and said: "Yes, the eldest husband is not afraid of life and death, I defend the city for the people, and the people do not bear me, but I am narrow-minded, I am not even as good as a girl's family, what face will I have to see my father in the future." Wen Yi, let's go back to the border, since the emperor can't tolerate me, I will open up a new place for us to live well, I want to take back everything that belongs to me, this court is so indistinguishable from right and wrong, since the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, what if I am the opposite? β
Chen Bin had never heard such a unique opinion, and the other party was still a girl, and even he sighed at the bearing in his words.
He thought that God would not be thin on him after all, and he could send Wen Yi to him, so that he felt that everything he experienced was a grind, not a destruction!
Wen Yi saw that his momentum had changed, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart: "I'm also glad that I was able to meet you!" I will fight with you! "Because only after fighting together can you hug your thighs and enjoy happiness with peace of mind, you can't just gain and not pay, that's not what she, a kind-hearted person, did!
Chen Bin said: "Don't always talk about fighting, killing and killing, the girl's family is still elegant, these are all men's things, can you still go into battle to kill the enemy as a girl?" Be careful that my mother is going to talk about you again when she hears it. β
The atmosphere tonight was so good that Wen Yi was careless, looked at Chen Bin and said: "What's wrong with the girl's family, women can also hold up half the sky, besides, men can rely on sows to climb trees, so I won't rely on men for my fate, I can be my own god!" β
Chen Bin looked at her and frowned, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say the specifics, so he could only put it aside and not think about it, and in the following days, he packed up his things with the old lady and Chen Ping and prepared to leave for the border pass.
Chen Bin left a secret signal in a hidden place along the road, and Wen Yi looked puzzled and said, "Can they see it?" Can you leave the barracks? β
Chen Bin looked up at her and said, "My father left a private soldier for me before he died, they did not join the army and did not belong to the imperial court. "Aren't private soldiers secret guards?" Then why wasn't he there for you at the time of the incident? Didn't look for you afterwards? β
Chen Bin paused unnaturally: "When I returned to Lingcheng, I was afraid that I would be found out and cause trouble, so I ordered them to guard the border passes...... They can't act without my orders! β
Wen Yi was completely speechless and naΓ―ve after hearing this! "And why are you summoning them now?" As soon as the words fell, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "There will be danger on our way, right?" β
Chen Bin knew that she had thought of it, so he comforted and said: "Wen Yi, no matter how mediocre the court is about our escape, the court should receive the news, and besides, the emperor still regards me as a big trouble!" My mother and Chen Ping don't know martial arts, and we will be much safer when they arrive. So you have to be vigilant and take care of yourself before they come, okay? β
Wen Yi nodded, inexplicably a little excited but didn't dare to let Chen Bin know that she felt that the time had come for her to show her loyalty.
The so-called wealth and danger are in danger, and she fought hard for her happy life in the future, and turned her head to look at Chen Bin, this was the first time she looked at him seriously.
Chen Bin's eyes are slightly raised, the bridge of his nose is high, and his thin lips are slightly pursed all day long, he is not the kind of boy who looks handsome at a glance.
But when you know that he is a general, his temperament can add color to his appearance, and the skin on his face is slightly rough, which may be related to the climate of the border pass, and the whole person gives Wen Yi the feeling that he is capable and tough in the upper position.
