It turns out that Sheng Hong and Sheng Ze have never lost contact over the years.
It turns out that Brother Lin's departure from Beijing to Quanzhou to serve as commander was not a sudden move by the emperor or a random act, but "premeditated".
It turned out that Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi had already arranged everything for her, so that she could reunite with Shengze and his wife.
Yin Xiaoxiao had cried several times today. Now her eyes were red and she shed tears again: "The seventh brother and the seventh brother and sister are so considerate of you and me... We will never be able to repay this kindness in our lifetime."
Shengze said in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, my ambitions disappeared more than ten years ago. My seventh brother spared my life, and now I let you mother and son leave the capital. I
Shengze is not a heartless person, and I will always remember this kindness for the rest of my life."
"A'luo has been made a crown prince and will become the empress of Da Qi in the future. As an uncle, I will also secretly contribute to A'luo. Within a few years, we will definitely put an end to the pirates and clear the sea area!"
A Luo is the empress, and their father and son, one openly and the other secretly, will be A Luo's most loyal ministers and staunchest supporters.
Yin Xiaoxiao nodded with tears in her eyes.
The couple hugged each other in silence for a moment.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and a soldier's voice rang outside the door: "Your Highness, the princess's bodyguard is here."
time to go.
Shengze let go of his arms and stared deeply at Yin Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, I'm leaving."
Yin Xiaoxiao hummed: "Don't come to me anymore. If Brother Lin notices it, it's really hard to explain." After a pause, he whispered: "I'll go see you at midnight tonight."
Shengze's eyes suddenly lit up, he glanced at Yin Xiaoxiao again, and finally turned around and left.
Yin Xiaoxiao watched Shengze leave, with a mixture of nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes, but more importantly, joy and relief.
…
Brother Lin, who was in the military camp, knew nothing about his father's "resurrection from the dead."
As a garrison commander, you have to train soldiers every day.
Brother Lin is used to seeing the elites in the capital such as the Divine Guards and the Yulin Army. He has seen the bravery of the Shu soldiers. Let's look at the soldiers stationed in Quanzhou.
There are three thousand soldiers, with mediocre appearance and discipline. There are only a few good soldiers, and they basically don’t know how to conduct military formations. There are almost no soldiers who are good at naval battles as expected... As soon as they entered the barracks, they were greeted by a basin of cold water.
After pouring it over, Brother Lin felt a chill in his heart.
Brother Lin went out early and came back late, and practiced the army in person every day. After two months, it was quite effective. At least, the soldiers assembled the team faster, and they had some appearance of picking up the long sword.
After training like this for a year and a half, the soldiers' combat effectiveness will reach a higher level!
It was getting dark, and Brother Lin, who had been training all day, was a little tired. However, in front of a group of soldiers, Brother Lin refused to show any signs of it, and gave a lecture in high spirits, and then went to finish the meal with the soldiers.
As a general, taking the lead, training with the soldiers, and eating together will make the soldiers develop a love and support in the shortest possible time.
General Yin is a famous general in the Qi Dynasty and is good at military training. Brother Lin often receives guidance from his grandfather. Although he is young, he is quite organized in military training.
The food in the military camp was only enough to satisfy the hunger, not to mention delicious. A bunch of tall and strong soldiers with big appetites only had two steamed buns, a bowl of hot porridge and a portion of pickles for dinner, which was enough to barely satisfy their hunger.
After Brother Lin had his first meal, he ordered the kitchen to steam more steamed buns the next day. The steamed buns would make him full. He could eat as much as he wanted. There must also be a vegetarian dish. Meat should be eaten every three days.
The greatly improved food has boosted the morale of the soldiers. Moreover, military pay has been paid on time for two consecutive months without any deductions. This has also increased the soldiers' trust and respect for the newly appointed young commander.
This night was another good day to eat meat every three days. The soldiers who had practiced for a day were all smiles. Each person had two large pieces of pork belly sandwiched between hot steamed buns. It was an extremely exciting meal.
.
Brother Lin has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He has never been used to eating in the army. He pretends to eat well in front of the soldiers, but he can't finish it after eating one steamed bun at most. He pretends to be full and waits to eat again after returning home.
A good meal.
When it got dark, Brother Lin rode back to the house.
Quanzhou is close to the sea, has a comfortable and pleasant climate, and has abundant and delicious seafood.
As soon as Brother Lin returned home, Mei Yun immediately ordered someone to bring dinner, six exquisite and delicious dishes, plus a large bowl of hot seafood porridge.
Brother Lin praised while eating: "The food in the house is still delicious."
Mei Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "If you can't get used to the food in the army, just go back home and finish your meal. Why bother pretending?"
Brother Lin smiled and said: "Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to the end. This is a military training method specially taught to me by my grandfather. I can't embarrass my grandfather."
The young couple chatted and laughed, which was quite sweet.
Brother Lin asked Mei Yun: "Where is my wife? Why are you missing tonight?"
In the past, when he returned home, his mother would always come to see him before he would feel relieved. Why didn't he show up today?
Mei Yun replied: "My mother-in-law went to the temple to burn incense today. Maybe she was tired and went to bed early. You should also go to bed early!"
Brother Lin didn't become suspicious and nodded with a smile.
…
In the middle of the night, a slender figure dressed in black took advantage of the darkness to find the most secluded corner and climbed over the wall to leave the house. At the fourth watch, the figure appeared outside the wall again, climbed over the wall and entered the house.
Early the next morning, Brother Lin got up and went to the military camp.
Yin Xiaoxiao got up an hour later than usual.
Mei Yun was a little surprised when she saw her mother-in-law, and smiled casually: "My mother-in-law's face is surprisingly rosy today, her eyes are full of energy, and she looks younger."
Isn't it?
Yin Xiaoxiao's eyes seemed to have a faint green shadow, but she was in particularly good spirits, with bright eyes and a smile on her lips. It was like flowers in full bloom and branches and leaves stretching.
Yin Xiaoxiao didn't know what she thought of, her face turned red, she cleared her throat and said, "Yesterday I burned incense in the temple, and what I asked for was a signed incense stick. If I am in a good mood, my energy will be better, right?"
Mei Yun did not doubt that he was there and did not inquire into the details.
Yin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
For the next few days, Yin Xiaoxiao got up later and later during the day.
Mei Yun muttered in front of Brother Lin, who also felt that something was not right. Her mother seemed to have lost her soul these days, and she did not even care about her son's food, clothing, and daily life.
Something must have happened!
On this day, Brother Lin deliberately returned to his house early and went directly to Yin Xiaoxiao's house without waiting for anyone to notify him.
Then, Brother Lin saw a strange scene.
My mother, who liked to wield swords and guns, actually started sewing.
Oh my gosh!
Does the sun rise in the west?
As soon as the door opened, Yin Xiaoxiao was caught off guard. Her hand shook, and the thin needle tip pricked her finger, causing her to scream in pain.
