Chapter 8: Returning Home
Chaoping and his grandfather have lived in the capital for more than half a month, in these more than 20 days Chaoping was summoned into the palace by the emperor almost every day, the emperor and Chaoping get along very well, Chaoping usually calls the emperor the emperor's uncle, they usually not only play chess games, sometimes they also talk about some national affairs. The emperor always talked about the art www.biquge.info of war and national affairs with Chaoping, and he also recognized Chaoping's talent, because Chaoping not only knows a lot of knowledge but also is very insightful, and his talent can be regarded as an immortal talent. During this time, Li Luoyun met with old friends who used to be in the capital, and usually drank and talked about the art of war.
It has been more than half a month since the imperial banquet, Li Luoyun and Chaoping also began to prepare for going home, they cleaned up the mansion in the capital and resigned to the emperor, the prince and the princess also specially sent Chaoping, Chaoping said to the princess and the princes: "Sister Biying, although your jade pendant is won by me, but I will definitely keep it, I have a lot of fun with you recently, and I said goodbye to my brothers." "Everyone did their job of resignation and set off to return home.
Li Luoyun and Li Chaoping returned to their homes in Changzhou, and the home was the same as usual, the old housekeeper Li Fu was already ready to welcome everyone at home, so everyone said goodbye to the days of leaving their hometowns and lived back to their original lives. Chao Ping thought that he had returned to this familiar place, although the capital was prosperous, but the comfort of his home was incomparable to the capital, and the life he longed for was to be used by the court in the future and be useful, rather than enjoying a luxurious life there. The next day, he went to Liu Er and Chen Gu as usual for a small gathering, Chao Ping told them what he had seen and heard in the capital, and when he said that he met Youlan and Biying, Liu Er felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Liu Er has always been nothing on the surface, but she is really very interested in Chaoping in her heart, she likes Chaoping, if the girl sees that her beloved has no change in her heart when she sees her beloved intersecting with other girls, then this must be a lie. Chaoping said how he and Zhang Tao met the Youlan monarch when they were walking on the street, and how he was named a golden sword and a horse by the emperor by mistake in the palace, Chaoping kept telling the story of his trip to the capital, and finally Liu Er couldn't help but get angry and walked out angrily. Chen Gu and Song Hao didn't react, and Liu Er walked out of the restaurant. Chaoping and they had to go back, and afterwards he went to find Liu Er alone, and found that Liu Er was crying alone by the river, crying very sadly, and even Yahuan let her send away, so she was alone. Chaoping was so smart that he was very uncomfortable when he saw Liu Er like this, so he stepped forward to chat with Liu Er, Liu Er ignored him at first, and then stopped crying and said to him: "How can you make a marriage contract with someone so hastily." The tone showed helplessness and pain, Chaoping said that he didn't have Youlan or Biying in his heart, and there was only one girl he was worried about, and that was Liu'er, who grew up together since childhood. This time, Liu Er stopped crying, and hugged Chaoping very aggrievedly without making a sound. Chaoping didn't dare to move, suddenly Liu Er found the jade pendant on Li Chaoping's neck, and couldn't stop crying, Chao Ping took off the jade pendant and gave it to Liu Er, Liu Er, who has always been gentle, suddenly grabbed the jade pendant and threw it out, which frightened Chao Ping, Chao Ping got up to find the jade pendant, between which the jade pendant had been divided into two halves on the ground, and Liu Er threw it out on the stone when it was thrown out. Li Chaoping sighed helplessly and didn't get angry, Liu Er didn't continue to make trouble with Chaoping when she knew she was angry, but she was very sad.
Chaoping sent Liu'er back to the city, and Chaoping was silent on the way, in fact, he was quite entangled in his heart, not the jade pendant but how to coax Liu'er, although he didn't know whether his good impression of Liu'er was love, but Liu'er already had an irreplaceable position in his heart. In this way, they silently returned to Jiafu, Liu Er said goodbye to Chaoping at the door and Chaoping was alone to return to the mansion, and at this time Zhang Tao rode a horse to find Chaoping. Chaoping was shocked when he saw Zhang Tao, because in normal times, Zhang Tao rarely rode a horse, unless he was on the battlefield or had something urgent. Zhang Tao saw Chaoping and said, "The third prince got on the horse, and we talked while walking." On the horse, Zhang Tao and Chaoping said: "Son, the old marshal is about to go out to fight again, we just left the capital for a few days at the border pass to expedite 800 miles, the Liao army is attacking, the border pass soldiers are fighting bloodily, the saint ordered the marshal to raise some soldiers and horses to fight the Liao army." ”
When he arrived at the marshal's mansion, Li Luoyun put on his battle armor and sat in the hall, and all the generals and soldiers lined up below in an orderly manner, ready to listen to the old marshal's orders. The old general was preparing to take the government soldiers to the capital to gather the soldiers and horses of the state capitals to go to the border pass to fight the Liao army. Chaoping came back, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged his grandfather without saying a word: "Grandpa, the child wants to go with you on the expedition, so that the child can do a filial piety by your side, and secondly, you can contribute to the country and learn more about the knowledge of using soldiers to fight. The old general replied angrily: "The state has national laws, the army has military regulations, when it comes to wartime, it is child's play, you obediently stay in the mansion, there is Zhang Tao to follow you, and some government soldiers at home will stay to protect the Shuai Mansion, and others will go with me to fight, you can wait for your grandfather to return triumphantly." "But" Chaoping was just about to continue the request, but as soon as he said two words, the old butler stepped forward to stop the third prince, saying that since the marshal had made up his mind, he should stop blindly begging. Chaoping is also an understanding person, since grandpa has made up his mind to pay attention to what he does, it is useless.
After these matters were decided in the palace of the Shuaifu, the old general set off with two generals and soldiers, in fact, the old general was worried that his grandson would be unbearable in the desert, and he was weak and sick since he was a child. As soon as he came back, his grandfather was about to go on the expedition, Li Chaoping was very unsure, not to mention that his grandfather just said the news of his victory, Li Luoyun never said that, what happened this time, Li Chaoping muttered in his heart, his grandfather has always known the truth that the proud soldiers will be defeated and the mourning soldiers will win, why did he say this time, he still thinks about his grandfather very much. Although he couldn't follow his grandfather, he told the housekeeper that if the old general sent back the letter at the border pass, he must show it to him as soon as possible, and he understood Chaoping's filial piety.
