Chapter 19: Growth and Transformation
In the twenty-fourth year of Chaoxing, Yun Fan had one person and one sword, and at the age of twelve, he stood on the Great Wall.
Without Yun Fan, who asked questions from east to west, Su Rong was not used to it for a while, and the empty courtyard seemed a little deserted. Su Rong sat listlessly on the stone bench and lay on the table, his eyes looking ahead, not knowing what he was looking at.
Yun Fan became a deserter! He was said a few words by the pawn of the Huotou Army, wiped his tears and ran away, the pawn grabbed Yun Fan and ate secretly, just wanted to teach him a few words, who would have thought that Yun Fan ran to the stable and stepped on a horse with great effort, and ran home directly.
Su Rong was startled by the sound of the horse's roar, and was surprised and delighted when he saw Yun Fan, who didn't dare to jump off the horse at the door.
"Sister Surong, I... I'm back to see you. ”
"Really, it can't be a runaway!"
Su Rong had seen too many deserters who couldn't stand the life in Beisai and ran back, so he teased Yun Fan.
"How could it be, I really am... Think... I came back because I missed you. ”
Although there is a group of rough men in the Beisai military camp, the young Yun Fan may need gentle comfort!
Su Rong caught Yun Fan who jumped off the horse, and obviously felt that Yun Fan was heavier, you must know that the most important thing in Beisai is meat, mutton, beef, and horse meat, Yun Fan's thin body has changed significantly.
The sister and brother hadn't seen each other for a few months, and they had endless words, and when Su Rong asked about Yun Fan's life in Beisai, Yun Fan couldn't help crying. Su Rong seemed to understand, and hugged Yun Fan, who was crying bitterly in his arms, comforting this teenager who had experienced too much.
Zhang Gumu waited a few days to pick up Yun Fan back, and when he left, Yun Fan was very reluctant, but his eyes were full of determination when he looked at Zhang Gumu's serious face.
The best playmate in Beisai Yunfan is Qiu Yue, and he also got to know other soldier brothers, the general of Beisaibian Town, and the king of Zhenbian.
The military camp is boring and difficult, Yun Fan gritted his teeth and insisted, the eternal fire in his heart has not weakened with the passage of time, and whenever the past comes, the flame will be even hotter.
At first, Yun Fan ran away a few times, Su Rong was very happy every time she saw Yun Fan, she liked this younger brother who could be ridiculed by her, she knew that Yun Fan's identity could not always be at her home, and maybe she could not always be by his side.
Su Rong could feel the changes in Yun Fan, he became taller and gradually surpassed her, and when she saw Yun Fan who was a head taller than herself, she felt that she was no longer protecting him, but had an inexplicable sense of security.
Eyes are the reaction of a person's heart, although Yun Fan's eyes are infinitely gentle, they can't hide his murderous aura.
In the environment of the Beisai military camp, Yun Fan grew up very quickly. In the twenty-ninth year of the emperor's reign, Yun Fan went to the battlefield for the first time, Zhang Gumu put him in the midst of the chaos, and in the face of the menacing Huns, he shot the first blood-soaked arrow in his life.
In the twenty-ninth year of the dynasty, Yun Fan was twelve years old and had left the palace for four years.
When I returned to the palace, everything was so familiar, the environment had changed a little, and the biggest change was that I couldn't go back.
Zhang Gumu came to the palace to declare military merits for Yun Fan, which means that Yun Fan will gradually gain military power by virtue of his military exploits, which is the last thing they want to see by Prince Yunfeng. Lin Lan and Qian Wantong do not interfere in the secular world, so Yun Fan's support of troops will be a huge threat to the Qian family's relatives.
Yun Fan went to visit his grandmother, who had an illness four years ago, and he was often bedridden and less active.
The old grandmother kept in touch with Yun Fan by letter, and when she saw Yun Fan appear in front of her bed, she was stunned for a moment, and then supported herself in surprise.
The old grandmother looked at Yun Fan who grew up and couldn't help crying, and Yun Fan comforted the old man. They talked a lot, and the biggest feeling of the old grandmother was that Yun Fan had grown up.
Yun Fan told Xiao Shunzi that the little monkey he gave him was too unruly, and he actually opened the shackles and ran away. The two talked about monkeys, and also talked about many other things.
Back in the new courtyard of the concubine, Yun Fan stood in front of the door for a long time.
He cried, he actually rarely cried when he grew up, and this time he cried out loud and cried for a long time.
Pushing open the door, the smell of weeds came to the surface, and the new courtyard of the concubine was sealed, and no one took care of it for many years.
Time has destroyed the bits and pieces of what was once remembered, and just as the memory is so vague, the new hospital has become blurred.
The laurel tree in the new courtyard was completely alive, and except for a few dry cracks, new branches and new leaves had grown in other parts.
Yun Fan tinkered for some hours, repaired the well in the new courtyard, fetched a few buckets of water in the well, and poured the laurel tree. After doing it, Yun Fan fell asleep by the laurel tree, slept for some time, and slept soundly.
Zhang Gumu hastily explained the situation to the emperor, and the emperor issued an edict to seal the ranks.
"The King of Beiyun Town, the King of Beiyun Town, is it the person who was crowned king during the hunt?" The emperor's eyes were slightly misty, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine, and suddenly asked Zhang Gumu.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The King of Beiyun Town is none other than His Royal Highness Yun Fan, the Twelfth Prince. ”
The emperor seemed to have something in mind when he heard this.
"Well, isn't there a tribute to a good horse, give him that horse! It's me... Special prize. ”
It is a special thing for the king of the town to be in charge of the military, and Yun Fan was named a cavalry captain in a red armor at the ceremony, which means that Yun Fan began to have a power of his own.
After the ceremony, Yun Fan stood on the steps, looking at the figure on the wind and cloud wall, his eyes were filled with sharp murderous aura, but he was quickly suppressed.
A wisp of black smoke floated from the harem, similar to wolf smoke, as if it was a warning or a challenge.
Looking at the burned concubine's new courtyard, Yun Fan watched very calmly, the laurel tree was on fire, and Yun Fan and several other guards extinguished it. Yun Fan gave a few instructions, and then left, holding a piece of paper in his hand, which was given to him by Xiao Shunzi, on which was the residence mark of the chief of internal affairs, the personal eunuch next to the chief of internal affairs, and a chief eunuch.
Yun Fan stood in an alleyway, looking at the scar on his arm, the size of a grain of rice, since he was a child, the concubine told him that it was a birthmark, Yun Fan had always thought it was a birthmark, but today it is not.
An elderly eunuch and a small eunuch came side by side, and the older eunuch boasted about something. "Hey, if it weren't for this palace, that mother-in-law would be able to give it to us respectfully... Looking at her like that, you know that the little white face is useless tonight. ”
"That is, my father-in-law took care of the little one, so that the little one got this benefit... Who is this son?" the little eunuch saw Yun Fan, so he respectfully stepped forward and asked.
Yun Fan didn't answer, walked up to the older eunuch, drew his sword and struck a blow, splashing blood and sealing his throat.
"You... You, you" The little eunuch was dumbfounded, pointing at Yun Fan and speaking indistinctly.
"Twelve years ago, this man slapped my mother! A gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years!, right?" Yun Fan walked past the little eunuch and whispered in his ear.
The little eunuch seemed to remember something, didn't the older eunuch often boast that he dared to beat the concubine when he was young, this person was...
Half an hour later, the chief of internal affairs was killed by Yun Fan with a sword amid the sound of begging for mercy. Yun Fan's guards killed the people involved in the palace prison one by one.
After another half an hour, the chief eunuch crawled towards the prince's residence.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince save me!" The chief eunuch ran to the Imperial Palace, and the crown prince Yunfeng was talking to several ministers about something.
Seeing the tip of Yun Fan's sword dripping with blood, the eighteen-year-old prince instinctively became afraid. Although Yun Feng has practiced martial arts since he was a child and claims to be the best in the world, he has never experienced real battlefield fighting, let alone killed anyone.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, save me!" The chief eunuch was the one who accidentally killed the poor concubine, and the prince looked at him and knew in his heart that he couldn't protect him today.
Yun Fan looked at this imperial brother who had bullied him since he was a child, his eyes no longer had the fear of the past, and his anger was also covered by him.
Step by step.
The eunuch in charge clung to Yun Feng's roe deer, Yun Feng tried to break away, but he couldn't break free, so he could only watch this Yun Fan, who was not much shorter, walking step by step.
The chief eunuch begged for help, and Yun Feng's attention was on Yun Fan's eyes, which he had never seen, but he could feel what made him instinctively afraid.
When Yun Fan was very close to him, Yun Feng instinctively kicked away the chief eunuch, and the ministers dared to pull Yun Feng away and retreat.
Touching the hot mucus on his face, looking at the distant back, Yun Feng's hands couldn't stop trembling, and there was a little more liquid under his feet.
Looking at the blood under his feet, Yun Feng looked at the ministers beside him who lowered their heads, and anger flashed in his eyes.
Yun Fan used a side sword, this sword style is not suitable, it will dirty himself, and in the current situation, it is indeed just right.
By the time Yun Feng reacted and mobilized the forbidden army to search and arrest, Yun Fan had already rushed to the north on his way back to the north. The old grandmother sent someone to clean up the scene, and there were no bones and no traces of blood.
Yun Fan removed the laurel tree that had come back from the dead but was scorched and planted it in the yard of Su Rong's house.
Under the careful care of Su Rong and Yun Fan, the laurel tree pulled out new branches and leaves, and soon bloomed beautiful flowers, exuding a floral fragrance.
