Li Donggua has not seen his son for more than two months, but he is becoming more and more masculine. His aura makes even him, an old man, feel a little scared.
He couldn't help but be proud, grinning and reaching out to pat his son's arm.
The arm was so stiff that it hurt the palm of his hand even though he had been working all year round.
He was even more satisfied and pleased, "What a boy!"
This boy, as his father, didn't have much time to take care of him since he was a child, and he had his own ideas since he was a child. Even when he was eight or nine years old, he had to dare to go to the town to hang out.
He thought that this kid would be a bastard with no future for the rest of his life!
He never thought that he would just find a way out and get to the prince's side on his own.
Now he has followed him to the battlefield and killed the enemy.
"How's it going? Are you afraid of going back to the battlefield? Are you injured?"
With his sweetheart by his side, Li Yang was eager to brag about his abilities, so how could he be afraid?
Although it was the first time that he had seen so many people fighting together, the comrades around him fell one by one in such a lifeless fighting style, and the mountains and fields were filled with dead people, and the ground under his feet was filled with blood, and he was still scared in his heart.
But he didn't show it at all at this moment, "I'm not afraid! What are you afraid of? Dad, look at my arms, are they strong again?
King Changshan rewarded me with a big scimitar weighing eighty kilograms. I swung it like a stick, very easily! I just danced with this scimitar and killed many enemies! King Changshan gave it to me personally.
I am the general flag!
When the generals of the army return to the court, they will be rewarded based on their merits. With so many heads killed by me, no matter what, I can still get a small general!"
After saying that, Li Yang thought of something, paused, and then said: "However, if something like this happened suddenly, I have already begged the crown prince and am willing to pay for my military merits to see if I can exchange for my fourth uncle's family not to be exiled."
Li Donggua hurriedly asked: "What does the prince say? Is it feasible?"
"It's not impossible to offset it with merit, but it's not a trivial matter when the Holy One orders a family to be confiscated and exterminated. Who makes Zhang Xinghua so bold as to dare to murder the prince? I heard from the prince that the eldest prince is already weak. After this incident, he probably won't be able to survive.
Two years of good life, how can the Holy Spirit easily forgive me in such a situation?"
Li Yang glanced at Song Qiu and said, "However, our situation is a little different. The prince said that he is willing to intercede with the Holy Emperor on behalf of his fourth uncle's family without military merit. When he arrives in Dongling County this time, he will also instruct the county magistrate first,
Don’t rush to exile the fourth uncle’s family now. Wait until he returns to Beijing to face the Holy Empress. If that fails, it won’t be too late to exile him again.”
Song Qiu understood what Li Yang said.
The twenty-five households in Songshan Village are all descendants of Jinjiawei. This time the Grand Duke donated all the Bronze Bird Treasures. It was only with these treasures that the Crown Prince was able to recruit troops and horses, and rewarded the soldiers with silver to encourage them to kill the enemy.
What the Zhang family committed was not a serious crime of treason. To put it bluntly, they were all implicated by Zhang Xinghua.
He didn't ask for pardon for everyone, but only for Zhang Hugua's family to be pardoned. Therefore, for the sake of the Bronze Bird Treasure, the Crown Prince was still willing to intercede.
She just knew this and knew that the Crown Prince was not such an unkind person, so she had confidence.
This time, it seems that there is really no blind confidence.
When the prince comes to Beijing, no matter what, I just want the Holy Emperor to know the inside story of the Bronze Bird Treasure. Not to mention complete pardon, as long as the exile can be changed, even if it is to be a slave, Li Yang can find a way to buy their family back to a good place.
of.
Come to think of it, Your Majesty is not an unreasonable and unkind tyrant.
In this case, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Donggua also breathed a sigh of relief. He was nervous at first, but he heard what he said later. As long as the prince is willing to help, no matter what the final result is, at least the fourth family will not be exiled immediately.
And he thought that the different situation mentioned by Li Yang was because Li Yang worked as an errand for the crown prince and gained the crown prince's favor.
So I feel quite proud.
Knowing that the fourth son's family was probably fine, Li Donggua felt a little more relaxed, so he couldn't help but ask his son, "The prince is going to Beijing, do you want to follow him?"
Li Yang nodded, "That's for sure."
Li Donggua couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Their son was young and they couldn't be with him. Now that they can be with him, they also want to be with him, but their son is older.
As my son grows older, he has his own path to walk and his own busy schedule.
He could only smile and tell his son to take care of himself when he was out and about, and not to worry about home.
Li Yang nodded, and from the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Song Qiu, who was next to Xian. He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and bit it in his mouth. It was mostly sweet, and it seemed to be sweet in his heart.
"Don't worry, dad. After the peace talks are over and the army returns to the court and rewards are given for merit, I will ask for a favor from the crown prince and ask him to help me arrange an errand nearby. I will be close to home then and I can do it when I have time.
Come home often!”
He told it to his father and also to the girls around him.
After hearing this, Li Donggua was really happy and said she was waiting.
Song Qiu's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.
After dinner, Li Yang had to go back. He was on duty now and couldn't stay away from his job for too long.
The prince agreed to come back this time and asked him to come back and answer the letter, so that Song Qiu and the others would not be worried all the time.
And tomorrow morning, they would have to continue their journey to the capital.
When I come back, it will probably be two months later.
Li Yang felt a little reluctant.
When he got up to leave, he looked at Song Qiu frequently.
Aling squeezed his eyes and said, "Oh, I'm full, let's go to the hut!" and quickly slipped away.
Li Donggua coughed, "I still have to deliver food to Hugua and the others. I'll leave first."
Du Chuanfu was stunned and took a step behind, "I seem to be out of rice. Well, girl, I'll buy some rice."
The main hall was empty except for Song Qiu and Li Yang.
Song Qiu suppressed his smile and looked at Li Yang, "I'll take you out."
Li Yang touched the back of his head and said, "Okay!"
The two of them walked outside together. They had just made an excuse to come out, but under the leadership of Aling, the three of them eavesdropped under the steps. Who would have thought that they would come out later.
Hurry to the latrine, run to the latrine, run to the kitchen, run to the kitchen.
Song Qiu:...It doesn’t have to be like this.
All the way out of the door, Li Yang asked, "Did you like the gift I gave you last time?"
The rouge smelled good of roses. Song Qiu liked it very much. She nodded, "It's okay."
Li Yang smiled and said, "Then I will go to the capital this time and bring it to you when I come back!"
"No! That one box is enough for me to use for a long time." She rarely applied it.
Li Yang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have money! The Crown Prince is giving out silver per head! This time I earned a lot, and I keep it all with the Crown Prince! Not to mention buying a few boxes of rouge, I can't even get ten wives."
question!"
"Do you still want ten wives?" Song Qiu glanced at him.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and hurriedly explained, "No, I didn't. I just used an analogy, A Qiu..."
The explanation was messy, for fear that Song Qiu wouldn't believe it and misunderstood him for his wantonness.
Gritting his teeth for the last time, he blurted out: "The only wife I want is you!"
Now that I have said this, I don't seem to be so coy anymore.
He paused and fixed his gaze, "Aqiu, I have liked you since I was a child. Even then, I thought that when I grow up, I will definitely ask you to be my wife!"
"Now that we are all grown up, I have always wanted to ask you, Ah Qiu, are you... willing to be my wife?"
Of course Song Qiu knew it and had known it for a long time.
She was silent and looked at Li Yang's anxious, sweaty but affectionate eyes.
Suddenly asked: "Then do you like me as I was before or as I am now?"
