Chapter 638: General of the Pillar Kingdom
The snow was falling like goose feathers, and the stove inside the house was steaming.
Li Ping'an was wrapped in a quilt and held a cup of hot tea in his hand.
While baking the fire, you can enjoy the snowflakes falling outside the window.
"Sir!"
A voice came from outside the house.
Li Ping'an got up lazily.
Listening to this breathless voice, he immediately guessed who it was.
Liu Yong is here.
Several guards walked in with a box, apparently a gift for Li Ping'an.
"It's Liu Yong, come in." Li Ping'an said.
Liu Yong followed the sound into the house, and a warmth came to his face.
Looking at the face that had never changed due to the years from a distance, Liu Yong was stunned.
He clenched his fists and bowed.
"I haven't seen you for many years, sir, don't come unharmed."
"General Liu, don't come unharmed." Li Ping'an smiled.
Liu Yong glanced at it, "It seems that I disturbed Mr. Sleep." ”
"Let's not see each other."
"When I heard that Mr. had returned, I deliberately asked people to choose some gifts."
"Then you're welcome."
Li Ping'an took out the teacup and poured Liu Yong a cup of tea.
"It's cold outside."
After Liu Yong asked his guards to leave, he took off his shoes and went to the kang.
"It's okay this year, it's not too cold, it's much warmer than in previous years."
The two of them are like ordinary ordinary people, chatting about family life.
Li Ping'an raised his teacup, "I heard that the general has been prosperous in his official fortune over the years, and he is a pillar of the country."
Li replaced the wine with tea and toasted the general with a cup. ”
"Sir, don't laugh at me, if it weren't for the kindness of Mr. back then, how could Liu Yong have the opportunity to meet today.
This glass of wine should be a glass to Mr. Xia. ”
Liu Yong's experience is legendary.
He was the only one in the Great Sui Dynasty who was born in Weimo and served as a general of the Zhu State.
The four towns of Anbei met Li Ping'an that year.
From being a deserter, to the present.
Life experiences are not without wonder.
"How long is the gentleman going to stay when he comes back this time?"
"I'll leave after the New Year."
"Have you eaten, sir?"
"Not yet."
Liu Yong smiled and asked people to take out the wine and food that they had bought a long time ago.
"I knew that Mr. didn't eat, so he specially prepared good wine."
Liu Yong took out his own good wine.
As soon as it is opened, a strong aroma of wine emanates.
Li Ping'an drank a big bowl first to warm up his body.
tasted it and said, "Not bad, not bad." ”
So the two of them chatted while drinking.
Liu Yong felt a little depressed in his heart.
Although he is the pillar of a country, he leads the army and is invincible.
However, the upper position of the Great Sui, what kind of character is that.
No general will be allowed to become big and sit on the border.
lest there be hidden dangers.
So, these generals.
After a long time, it will be suppressed by civil officials in the court.
was recalled to the capital, relieved of military power, and was idle in the capital.
And on the frontiers, there will be people who will take the place of generals.
Otherwise, it is the rotation of the positions of the major border generals.
A few years ago, Liu Yong was in the limelight.
For some reason, he was transferred back to the capital.
Mingsheng secretly descended, and has been holding an idle position in Beijing.
Imperial Mind ...........
A good dish to drink, talking about Liu Yong, but he has no appetite.
A big bowl of wine was drunk.
In the past few years in Beijing, Liu Yong has been cautious in his words and deeds.
If there is nothing important on weekdays, the door will not go out.
For the dignitaries and nobles who contact themselves, they can also not communicate without interacting.
is to keep people from doubting themselves, lest the emperor be suspicious.
It's just that I'm depressed in my heart, and I haven't been able to vent it.
No one is telling.
The emperor's ears and eyes are all over the place, and if he is not careful to reach the emperor's ears, I am afraid that it will be a bad thing.
However, the person in front of him is worthy of 100% trust.
"Let the gentleman see it."
After drinking enough wine, Liu Yong's face was not red and he was not panting.
just sighed heavily, "Mr. Bu Hide said that I have had the idea of returning to my hometown more than once over the years.
However, it is only a matter of thinking.
One is that they are unwilling to let go of the power in their hands,
Second, I enjoy the feeling of fighting on the battlefield.
After so many years, I am not the only one who represents, but a group of people behind me.
If I retreat at this time, they don't know what to do......."
I said this very sincerely.
has held power for many years, and he is like the emperor who speaks his word at the border.
Who wants to let go of this obsessive power?
After so many years, Liu Yong must have loyal subordinates who follow him.
One wins, one loses.......
It's just these, and Li Ping'an can't do anything.
I don't want to do anything to intervene.
The only thing to do is to listen to the general's heartfelt complaint and drink a few glasses of wine to relieve the bitterness in his heart.
As he spoke, there was movement outside.
It was Alia who led the cat fairy and Jingyun to go shopping.
"Sir, then I'll take my leave."
Liu Yong saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Walk slowly."
Liu Yong walked outside and happened to meet Alia.
He saluted with his fists and left.
Jing Yun looked at Liu Yong's back.
........ General Liu!?
Jing Yun saw Liu Yong's portrait and quickly recognized this famous Zhuguo general of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Although Jingyun is young, his mind is very delicate and old.
knew that in order to avoid taboos on weekdays, this General Liu had a relationship with his father.
How did you get home today??
turned his head to look at Li Ping'an again, and everything suddenly changed.
suddenly remembered the origin of Li Ping'an in the folk tale and Liu Yong, the general of the Pillar State.
It's just that there are too many versions of the story, and it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false.
Today's view is really beyond doubt.
Thinking of this, Jing Yun's eyes lit up again when he looked at Li Ping'an.
"How did you drink so much, sir?"
Alia frowned and sniffed the smell of wine on Li Ping'an's body.
"Just a few more drinks." Li Ping'an yawned, "I'll go back and make up for sleep." ”
"Then I'll go make a hangover soup for my husband."
Alia ran to the kitchen.
The little girl was holding a sugar gourd, which was covered with a lot of snow, but she didn't move.
"Why don't you eat it?" Li Ping'an asked.
"Fairies are not children, children eat sugar gourds."
Jing Yun, who was eating sugar gourd on the side, stopped moving.
"Then why buy it?"
The little girl said conclusively: "It was Alia who insisted on buying it for the fairy, and the fairy clearly said that she didn't want it." ”
"Ah~"
In the next second, Li Ping'an bit off the first hawthorn on the first one.
Little Girl: (⊙ˍ⊙)
"Moo~"
The old cow ate the second one.
Little girl: ( ゚◇ ゚)
"If the cat fairy really doesn't like to eat, you can give it to the next one."
Jing Yun said, so he ate the third one.
