Chapter 12 A Gentleman Walks His Word

When the young man asked about this, Yang Yanlang's smile froze for a moment, becoming more and more bitter.

His heart was shocked, and the young man also guessed that there was something strange in it.

Turning around slowly, General Yang was silent for a while, as if he was unwilling to answer this question, and did not dare to face Zhong Ming.

How could the exquisite-minded young man not see that the general was in trouble, he said in a deep voice: "Uncle Yang said bluntly. ”

"Your father, he...... Yu disappeared in the battle of Mukden City. ”

"Missing?"

The young man who had just been happy was stunned on the spot when he encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, muttering to himself: "As the blind fortune teller said, I am a lonely life, and it is difficult to see my parents in another life?"

This reminded the young man of what happened to him in his previous life, when his cheap father adopted him and died unexpectedly less than two years ago.

Now I just learned the news of my father, but it is the result of his disappearance.

Could it be that loneliness is one's own destiny?

Since the reincarnation, the young man's belief in the victory of man in his heart has become more and more shaken, and he clenched the sword with both hands, and the tiger's mouth was pinched red without realizing it.

Sensing that the young man had no voice, Yang Yanlang turned his head, just in time to see the young man's frowning brows and his eyes wandering, the general felt pity and hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephew, you don't have to suffer, I and my eldest brother have never stopped looking for the second brother, and I will definitely inform you as soon as there is news." ”

Having said that, the general himself has no confidence in what he said.

The battle of Fengtian City had the participation of Kunlun immortals, and Emperor Ji Cheng personally fought against Xu Qiandao, and Emperor Ji Long pointed out the paintings of the rivers and mountains, which resonated with heaven and earth, and the earth dragon turned over and killed more than 20,000 military horses.

The army of 80,000 was forced back by Emperor Ji Long.

Xu Qiandao only relied on one person and one sword, how could Emperor Ji Long, who fought the true body of the earth dragon, ensure his safety?

When Yang Yanlang and Qin Xiong arrived, there were already corpses all over the field, the ground was cracked and the bottomless chasm was wide, and only this absolute knife was left standing on the edge of the cliff, as well as the dragon head key wrapped in embroidered handkerchief.

To this day, Yang Yanlang still has palpitations when he recalls that scene.

caused the earth dragon to turn over, drawing a hundred-zhang gap with one finger, which was already beyond human power, Yang Yanlang couldn't believe that the second brother could survive in that kind of battle.

Yang Yanlang knew that he was lying to himself, but he still had to tell Zhong Ming.

Always give the poor young man in front of him some hope, so that he will not live so painfully.

At this point, Yang Yanlang felt bitter in his mouth, and hatred in his heart, he remembered the group of fake immortals who refused to act in the court, but just watched but did not come to the rescue, his fists clenched suddenly, and he hammered the beams beside him.

The beams and pillars shook, and the broken bricks crackled and fell, stirring up dust.

Knowing that it was his distraction that made Yang Yanlang so excited, the young man took a deep breath, shook his head lightly and said, "Why should Uncle Yang be like this, since my father is missing, there will always be a day when he will be found." ”

"It's for sure!"

At this moment, the young man comforted the general, and deceived himself and the general, and so did the general.

Both of them smiled wryly, and the bitterness in their smiles was known only to themselves.

After the two of them were in a calmer mood, Yang Yanlang said: "Virtuous nephew, although the second brother's whereabouts are unknown now, the second brother's merits for the new Tang Dynasty are indelible, what do you want, just inform your uncle."

The second brother Rongma has been on the horse for more than ten years, and he has made great achievements in Xintang, which is enough to pay homage to the marquis.

As long as you bring it up, whether it is an official position, gold, silver and jewelry, or a mansion beauty, as long as you can say it, your uncle will definitely get it back for you!"

Thinking of the group of politically involved immortals above the court, Yang Yanlang's words were a little more cold.

"As long as you want it, even if your uncle carries the silver dragon gun to the Qiankun Palace, he will get it back for you!"

In just a few words, the disagreement between Yang Yanlang and the court was revealed, and the young man who calmed down couldn't hear it.

Come to think of it, the general who was originally the three divine generals of the New Tang Dynasty is now living on the border and has become a cavalry captain of the border army who has no name, and there must be a lot of sadness in his experience.

General Yang was not as bright as his silver helmet and white robe, and he must have something unspeakable in his heart.

The general's political career was unsatisfactory, and the young man didn't want to trouble him, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Yang, the little nephew doesn't have any big ambitions, he doesn't want to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, and he doesn't want to have a lot of money, as long as he can eat enough, he is very satisfied." ”

Yang Yanlang was stunned, he was ready to ask for a hereditary title for the young man to return to Luoyang, but he didn't expect the young man to refuse indifferently.

In Zhong Ming's mind, since it was already an unexpected joy to learn the news of his father in this body, there was no need to worry about it anymore.

If he really wants to rely on Xu Qiandao's name to ask for gold, silver, jewelry, and official titles, it will be a big trouble, and the Uncle Yang in front of him is so down, it is difficult to say that he can have the ability to keep him.

Young people have always been content, and it is good to live.

To fight for something unnecessary, and in the end end end up in a different place, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses.

"You really don't want anything, don't you think of what you need?"

The young man still shook his head and said: "I don't have what I want, it is already a great joy to be able to recognize Uncle Yang today, I just hope that I can find my father again one day, and I have nothing else to ask for." ”

The knower is picturesque, and the benevolent is endless.

The young man's words made the general sigh, and he re-examined the young man in front of him, only to realize that his nephew had a wisdom and plain state of mind that ordinary teenagers did not have.

With a long sigh, Yang Yanlang looked up at the sky and said: "Well, since my sister-in-law doesn't want you to know the past of my second brother, I probably want you to live this life plainly, you don't ask for it, I don't ask for it, let my uncle accompany you to spend the rest of your life in this small town in the future, but it can also protect you for the rest of your life." ”

"That's very good. ”

The young man was stunned, clenching the Jue Xiang knife in his hand, and also looking up at the sky.

Through the broken tiles, the young man could only see the sky high and the clouds and the sun rising in mid-air.

As for what the general in the silver helmet and white robe was looking at, the young man didn't know, he only knew that he had been looking up at the sky like this for a long time, and his neck was a little tired.

The young man asked, "Uncle, don't you get tired from your neck when you look up for so long?"

Unexpectedly, the young man asked like this, and the general laughed loudly: "A little tired!"

"It's better for us to leave first, standing in the broken temple and looking at the sky, although it has a meaning, but after looking at it for a long time, it is a little silly. ”

"What the virtuous nephew said is very true, so let's go?"

The young man in sackcloth and the white-robed general walked out side by side.

The two were already acquainted, so they chatted while walking, and the young man said: "Uncle always calls me a virtuous nephew, it's a little bit of a life, it's better to call me Xiao Zhong, Xiao Ming, there is a carpenter uncle surnamed Li at the head of the village who always calls me Zhong Xiaozi, and I like this title very much." ”

The general nodded, and after a little thought, he said: "That's true, the family is casual, just call you Zhong Ming." ”

The two walked out of the ruined temple, and Sun Longhu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Lord Captain, is the little brother Zhong Ming the person you are looking for?"

Yang Yanlang smiled and nodded in response: "Exactly, this school captain's trip is worthwhile, you will be rewarded when you go back!"

Sun Longhu hurriedly thanked General Yang, then turned his head to Zhong Ming and smiled: "Little brother Zhong Ming, do you still know Brother Long Hu, remember when you were a child, you followed me to play on Qinggang Mountain?"

The young man thought about it for a while, and he did have an impression of this Sun Longhu, isn't this the son of Old Man Sun?

Old man Sun often talked about his son being conscripted to the battlefield and never returned, and now that his son has returned to his hometown, Zhong Ming can already think of how Old Man Sun is bragging to his neighbors in the village.

"Okay, Huzi don't be busy with the close, you go and prepare the horse, there are important things to do next. ”

Interrupting Sun Longhu's words and urging him to prepare a horse, Yang Yanlang turned his head and asked the young man: "Zhong Ming, next I want to go to worship my sister-in-law first." I just heard in the village that my sister-in-law is no longer alive, and I should worship it, what do you think?"

After getting along for a short time, it can be seen that General Yang is a person who values love and righteousness, which is in line with his character, but Zhong Ming doesn't want to do this.

"Uncle is not busy worshipping his mother, and before that, the little nephew has something to do. ”

Yang Yanlang said with surprise on his face: "What is more important than worshipping the deceased sister-in-law?"

Since ancient times, the concept of flattering the idea of putting filial piety first, worship is the top priority everywhere, and the same is true in this era.

The young man smiled and said, "The matter of the living, the division of the land in the mud village." ”

After Zhong Ming explained the matter of dividing the fields in the silt village, Yang Yanlang nodded frequently and said: "You must do what you should do, and the gentleman is true to his word, so uncle, I will accompany you to the yamen first and do a good job of dividing the fields." ”

With General Yang going together, the young man couldn't ask for it, and at sunrise he was still worrying about how to divide the fertile land, and now there is a seven-grade lieutenant to help him press the formation, and the young man is full of confidence.

Sun Longhu brought the white horse over, and Yang Yanlang turned his head and asked Zhong Ming, "Can you ride a horse?"

The young man smiled awkwardly, "Uncle, I don't know how to ride a horse. ”

"It's okay, you ride my snowfall, it has spirituality, obedient tight, I'll ride another horse!"

So under the strong recommendation of General Yang, the young man was helped by Sun Longhu on the back of the snowy horse.

The young man tried to touch Falling Snow's mane, but Falling Snow just shook her head and snorted.

Sun Longhu touched Luoxue beside him and muttered: "Luoxue, you have to take care of my little brother, he is the dear person of the captain, if there is an accident, I will definitely ask you." ”

"Brother Long Hu, can you understand what you say?" Zhong Ming frowned, always not believing that horses could understand human words.

But he didn't expect that the white horse under the young man's crotch immediately snorted, shook his body, and frightened the young man so much that he clutched the armrest of the saddle and didn't dare to move.

Sun Longhu smiled: "Look, doesn't it understand?"

This white horse, named Falling Snow, is indeed spiritual.

Young people think so, and no longer dare to speak disrespectfully, it seems that there are still many things in this era that cannot be explained by common sense.

After the young man sat down on the horse, Yang Yanlang took another horse and said in a loud voice: "Yamen in the city, go!"

Then Sun Longhu shouted "The first army of the fine-scaled dragon, go forward!", and the cavalry broke out of the temple in the west of the city, went to the yamen in the city.

The mood of the young people along the way was quite apprehensive, up and down, just afraid of falling to the ground by the snow.

In my previous life, I also heard that many ancients fell from their horses and were trampled on by horses and became crippled, riding a horse is a dangerous thing, regardless of others, for today's young people.

Fortunately, Luoxue was very obedient and only followed Yang Yanlang's horse, and the cavalry team also deliberately slowed down the marching speed to take care of Zhong Ming, who was a beginner in horseback riding.

When the young man became familiar with the feeling of riding a horse, he felt the early spring wind blowing on his face, and he still enjoyed it a little.

The first thing to do was to ride a horse, and the young man finally did it three years after coming here.

He is very satisfied, and today he finally took the first step towards this river and lake.

Under the crotch of the young man is a horse falling in the snow, and in his arms is a treasure sword Yama sounds.

The horse is there, the knife is there, is it still far from the horses and lakes?
