The spring is late, smoke rises from the distant kitchen, children ride grazing cows and walk leisurely on the fields, and farmers carry hoes on their way home. This is the life in the countryside. Work is done at sunrise and sunset.
Habitat.
"Is it peaceful?" Su Liu put a handkerchief on the ridge of the field and sat next to Ning Guang.
"Um!"
"Are you going back?" Su Liu tore off a piece of grass beside him, his voice a little gloomy.
"Why do you ask that?" Ning Guang turned around and looked.
"Isn't that uncle a servant of your family? Don't you want you to go back?" Su Liu glanced at him and asked matter-of-factly.
The left corner of Ning Guang's mouth curled up coldly, he turned his head away and answered the question unreasonably: "When I was in the army, every day was about training, setting up formations, and fighting in the ring. When the Tatar enemies came, they would assemble the army and set off to fight, and they would always die every time."
Some people, and then some newcomers, practiced and set up the formation over and over again. I thought it would last a lifetime."
"When I was young, facing the raging battlefield, I was not afraid of anything. I thought that if I died, I would just give up my life. Eighteen years later, I would be a good man again. I would have no taboos and be brave and fearless.
Instead, he made illustrious military exploits and gained face for his family time and time again. They saw the glory, but they couldn’t see the blood and tears behind the glory." Ning Guang said calmly: "You probably don’t know, I have also been a dandy before.
When I was the little bully, I was even younger than Brother Ye, so I was really ignorant."
Su Liu chuckled, looked sideways, and said with a smile: "Are you? A dandy? Are you a theater girl? Are you still buying things without giving me money? Or are you beating people with a riding crop?"
"Both." Ning Guang also laughed and said, "I even beat people until their faces were bloody. At that time, my father forced me to go apologize to others and give them a good meal when I came back. My mother protected me. No."
I'm actually not afraid of being beaten, I'm also stubborn and I rely on my thick skin."
"Then my mother passed away. No matter how dandy or domineering I was, no one was there to protect me. Within a year, he married a new bride."
"Did she treat you badly?"
Ning Guang sneered: "Good, very good, very indulgent to me. If I hadn't met Master that year, maybe I would have ruined my whole life."
What's wrong? When he did something wrong, she begged and protected her father, not wanting to scold him. She would give him whatever he wanted. Even if he broke his skin while running, she would still shed a few tears.
The better she treated him, the more unscrupulous and unscrupulous he became. As a result, his father became more and more disgusted with him. At that time, he didn't know what it was. Later, when the master came, he realized that it was called killing.
Praising him and indulging him in everything, his end will be to become a real dandy, a waste, a waste. It is impossible to become the heir apparent of Guangning Houfu. In the end, that position will only be that of her son.
of.
Su Liu felt a chill in his heart. Real love is not indulgence, but punishment when mistakes are made, and correctness when mistakes are made. If Ning Guang had not met his master, what would have happened in the end?
"How did you meet your master?"
"It's my mother." Ning Guang's cold eyes gradually faded and he said, "She had arranged a way out for me as early as when she was lying on the hospital bed."
The master was just repaying his mother's kindness of ten taels of silver, but her momentary kindness changed his life. Without these ten taels of silver, there might be other people, but he would never be where he is today.
At the age of eleven, in the name of keeping filial piety, he went to Zhuangzi near the ancestral grave of the Ning family and stayed for a year, practicing martial arts with his master every day. At the age of twelve, he decided to join the army and continued to practice martial arts every day until one day he could defeat his master.
He was lucky to have a smooth life in the army, and his father took it for granted that he was invincible. Until he was twenty years old, just because he was wrong for a moment, just because he had embarrassed him, he
He was disgusted with his eldest son.
"If you come back like this, you might as well have died on the battlefield, and you will embarrass the Ning family for nothing!"
He will always remember how heartless those cold words were. Yes, he had embarrassed the Ning family just because he did not die on the battlefield!
Now, he sent someone to find him and asked him to go back, ha!
"Throw it away when it's time to throw it away. Now, it's said that I'm in poor health and old. Let me go back, haha." Ning Guang smiled sadly, even sarcastically: "This is my home, a bottomless whirlpool.
You say, should I go back? There is only room for calculation."
"Don't laugh like that. If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh." Su Liu felt a little heartbroken. He looked around and found no one, so he held his hand and said, "If you don't want to go back, no one can force you."
"Yes, no one forced me." Ning Guang held her hand and said coldly: "It's not sure whether he really wants me to go back! What's funny is that he also wants to use his position as the heir to force me to go back.
"
"Huh?" Su Liu blinked.
Wow, what does this mean?
Ning Guang did not answer, but smiled coldly. Uncle Zhong said that if he did not go back, his father would give his concubine Ning Zhenhao the title of eldest son of Guangning Marquis.
It's really ridiculous. He thinks he is rare. He wants the position of heir apparent and the title of Marquis of Guangning, but he can't earn it?
Ning Guang looked back at her and said, "Look, Guang Ning Houfu is like a whirlpool. Do you regret it?"
"Brother, can I say I regret it?" Su Liu looked innocent.
Ning Guang's face darkened, and he held her hand tighter, and Su Liu hissed in pain.
"No regrets, no regrets!" She quickly flattered her and said, "General, please spare me, my hands are bruised by your pinching."
Only then did Ning Guang loosen his hand and said, "There's no use regretting it." As he said that, he took her hand and rubbed it gently.
"I told my mother about your identity, but she is worried that you won't want me when you go back." Su Liu said hoarsely.
Ning Guang frowned and pursed his lips.
"My mother lived in the countryside all her life, so she inevitably has some small-farmer mentality. She is not as bad as you think she is. Don't blame her." Seeing his silence, Su Liu thought he had something to worry about and hurriedly explained.
"I don't blame her." Ning Guang shook his head and said, "It's because I didn't do enough that she became worried."
Su Liu liked hearing this, and smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, she is always worried. Even if she gets married, she is afraid that you will never come back!"
"What about you?" Ning Guang looked at her with bright eyes: "Are you afraid?"
Well, Su Liu thought to herself, what am I afraid of? At worst, I can find another one, but she didn't dare to say this, so she said: "I'm afraid, if you never come back, I will become an abandoned wife. The reputation of an abandoned wife is so bad."
Sounds good!" He said, shrugging his little nose.
Ning Guang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you become an abandoned wife. Now that we are engaged, you will be my Ning Guang's wife."
Su Liu smiled slightly, changed the topic again, and said: "Then what are you planning to do? Ning Guang, don't perfunctory me. I support you and believe in you no matter what decision you make, but I don't want to perfunctory."
She looked at him steadily and said seriously: "Ning Guang, I will be an adult soon. Don't treat me like a child. Let's not talk about the servants at home. Where are your old men? They have already arrived.
It’s already over 1 month, what are you going to do? They have no military affairs anymore? Are they just going to follow you and go hunting in the mountains?"
Ning Guang pursed his lips and said, "They will leave."
They are not him, and they should not live in seclusion like him. Their ambitions should be on the battlefield, not in this farmland.
When Ning Guang gathered a few people and said this, Tietou suddenly became excited.
"General, what about you? Is your ambition to live in this tiny corner of the country, farming and hunting? Are you willing to use your talents and skills here?"
Luo Zi was also very excited and said: "General, has the comfortable life of these years really wiped out your fighting spirit?"
Ning Guang closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again and said, "I'm used to this kind of life. There are capable generals guarding the Mobei border, so I'm not needed. You go back, make some achievements, and leave tomorrow."
"Fuck you! General, I'm bald and I won't say fancy words. General, are you going or staying? Even the bald ones will follow. Without the general, what's the point?"
"General, I also want to follow the general. If the general wants to farm, Xiaowu will farm. If the general wants to fight, Xiaowu will serve as a soldier."
Zhang Xiaosi pursed his lips tightly and said: "General, are you really willing to abandon your ideals because of Miss Su? The general once said that he would lead a few of our brothers to crush the Tatar tent and let the
They will always surrender at the feet of our Daqi Dynasty. Just because of Miss Su, the general will abandon the people of Mobei? General, have you forgotten Hu Sandao?"
As soon as the name Hu Sandao came out, the temperature in the room immediately became cold, and Ning Guang's deep eyes even flashed with a sharp murderous intent.
"Xiaosi." Tietou saw something was wrong and tugged on Zhang Xiaosi's sleeve. Everyone present knew that the name Hu Sandao was taboo in Ning Guang.
Zhang Xiaosi threw away Tie Tou's hand, knelt down in front of Ning Guang, and said stubbornly: "Even if the general wants to kill me, I will do it. General, if Hu Sandao is not eliminated, I will kill him."
The heroic souls of the Qianning Family Army cannot rest in peace."
Ning Guang's breath became colder and colder, murderous aura lingering around him. Tietou and the others couldn't help but knelt down and lowered their heads. Although they didn't speak, the meaning was obvious.
Seeing several people kneeling on the ground, Ning Guang took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, get up. It's up to you to stay or go." After speaking, he strode away.
The Tietou people looked at each other, and Luo Zi asked: "What does the general mean?"
Tietou sighed and said, "It's not yet time, the general still can't come out."
Everyone was silent.
At the same time, in the palace, a guard was galloping in the palace on horseback holding a letter with three feathers attached to it.
"Report, eight hundred miles urgent." The guard rushed into the Ganluan Palace and said: "The general of Mobei was assassinated by the Tatars. The Tatars occupied Maluo City and massacred three thousand of my people."
As soon as the news came out, the emperor was furious, and there was chaos in the Ganluan Palace. Ministers from all walks of life asked the emperor to send capable generals to guard Mobei, so that the Tatars could pay for their debt with blood.
The emperor asked his ministers to recommend capable generals, but found that they were either too old to resign and return home, or too young to be seen.
"Your Majesty, I sincerely request Your Majesty to order General Xuan Zhenwei to return to the DPRK, go to Mobei, kill the Tatars, return my homeland, and calm the hearts of my people." Imperial Master Zhou Taifu knelt on the shiny tiles and spoke tremblingly.
Uh, I went to a banquet today, and I have another chapter to work on. I will work overtime tomorrow, ah ah, I’m so busy~
