Loyal heart travels a long way

Chapter 202 Part 5: The Son Yugui

It has been more than a month since I returned to Mobei.

Now that there is only the capital, there is no big difference from before I left here. Liu Zhan still doesn't like to talk, only obsessed with the art of war, Jia Yaopeng still likes to drink, but in the army he has always restrained himself, afraid of delaying things.

But there were some changes. The burnt grass became withered and yellow as soon as it grew new roots. In the autumn, the herdsmen came out to graze again. With no need to pay taxes, even the price of the items sold has dropped.

Zhu Chengdong also rode his horse to the border line to look across. The new city gate of Ulanqab has been replaced, and the blackened stone has been polished off to give it a new color.

Everything seems to be the same, but nothing is the same.

After the war, the land quickly returned to life, as if nothing was left, only those who had experienced the war would have a scar in their hearts.

This time in Mobei, there is only Zhu Chengdong himself. Although there are Liu Zhan and Jia Yaopeng, they are not the original people after all.

The old general and his wife were shrouded in horse leather, and the corpses were transported back and buried in the ancestral grave of the Chu family in Qizhou. Ying Er and Gao Xin, who were close to him, were no longer by his side.

Maybe after a while, there will be only one person left.

Zhu Chengdong felt a little uncomfortable, but he was relieved.After all, Ying Er's life is safe, Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao are his masters, and he should follow his master when they both returned to the capital, besides, those two people have always treated his servants generously, Ying Er will not suffer when he returns.

Very good, individuals have their own places to go.

I heard that a new deputy general, Mo Bei, was sent to the capital, and he will arrive soon. I don't know what kind of person he is, and whether he can guard this place with himself.

Zhu Chengdong stared at Ulanqab City in a daze for a long time, then rode back to the barracks.

No matter what kind of person he is, he can't neglect him too much. Lao Jia hasn't had a drink for a few days, so he will make an exception and allow Lao Jia to drink three cups at the reception banquet.

Three days later, the deputy general arrived in Mobei.

Different from Jia Yaopeng and Liu Zhan, the team of the lieutenant general was not big at all, with only a small team of more than [-] people around him, but Zhu Chengdong found out sharply that those [-] people were all practitioners with deep internal skills. Not ordinary soldiers, but a team of elite soldiers.

The lieutenant is riding a horse, and there is a carriage in the team. On the carriage is a cast iron cage, and there is a tiger inside. Isn't it the yellow one called Huangdao Cake that Gu Zhiyao raises?

The emperor also had a heart, he was concerned about Zhu Chengdong's stay in Mobei, and specially transported this living treasure here to amuse him.

Soy bean cakes can outnumber ten men, and they are quite brave in battle.

Zhu Chengdong was overjoyed when he saw Soybean Cake, and immediately wanted to release the tiger, and took him for a run on the grassland for two laps, only then did he stay on the horse with a tense general's demeanor.

It was a coincidence to hear that the lieutenant general's surname was Chu, and Gu Zhiyao sometimes called himself Chu when he was doing business outside. If he hadn't known that Gu Zhiyao and Chu Dancheng had resigned from their positions and went south, Zhu Chengdong would have almost thought that the lieutenant general was Gu Zhiyao Pretending.

Lieutenant General Chu was riding on horseback, wearing a cloak, and the hood was on his head, only the tip of his chin was exposed, so he couldn't see what he looked like.His breath is long and steady, although he is riding on a horse, he looks very light, he should be good at lightness kung fu.

It's just that this man is a bit thinner and thinner, unlike the men who are used to staying in the military camp, whose bodies are getting thicker and thicker.

"General Chu has worked hard all the way, the tents are ready, let's go to wash up and have a rest, the banquet will start at night."

Lieutenant General Chu was stunned for a moment, nodded, got off his horse and asked the soldiers to get rid of his horse, and then followed them to his tent.

Do not like to talk.

Zhu Chengdong silently made this evaluation of Deputy General Chu in his heart, watched the soldiers lead him forward, suddenly his eyes froze, and he reached out to grab the man's arm, "Wait!"

Deputy General Chu stood still, Zhu Chengdong took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and then told others: "You go back first, I will take General Chu to the back mountain first."

The back mountain he was talking about was Manhan Mountain. Back then, Chu Dancheng and Gu Zhiyao were assassinated there. The soldiers couldn’t figure out why their general had a sudden change of sex and wanted to go to the back mountain. They couldn’t even wait for the new arrival The deputy will have a good rest.

Forget it, if he can figure out the matter of the general himself, he is now a lieutenant general, so maybe he has something important to say about the military?

Everyone obeyed Zhu Chengdong's order and walked back. When the carriage with Huangdao Cake passed by Vice General Chu, Lieutenant Chu reached in and touched Huang Dou Cake's head.

After everyone had left, Zhu Chengdong took Lieutenant General Chu's hand to search for a place with few people without saying a word, and when both of them stood still, he looked at the lieutenant again, hesitant to say: "You..."

The deputy general didn't make a sound, just stood there quietly waiting to hear Zhu Chengdong speak.

"You..." Zhu Chengdong was melancholy for a long time before he said it: "Why didn't you go with Yao'er and the others? And what about the identity of this deputy general Chu?"

As he spoke, he pulled down the lieutenant's hood, revealing the lieutenant's face.

——This lieutenant general is none other than Ying Er, who was supposed to go south with Gu Zhiyao and the others. He is now a lieutenant general, no longer a shadow guard, and there is no need to change his appearance. Under the hood is Ying Er's original face .

When Ying Er was recuperating at Zhu Chengdong in Mobei, he rarely changed his appearance.

Ying Er was still so calm, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Chengdong, and said lightly: "The master doesn't need the shadow guard anymore, I begged the emperor."

With only two short sentences, Zhu Chengdong could tell that Ying Er's identity was not easy to come by.He was originally a shadow guard, and no matter what he didn't have to join the army, how did Ying Er get such an honorable status in the Mobei army? Even if Zhu Chengdong didn't go to investigate, he knew that it would definitely not be a smooth wind It came along with the water.

In the end it's still here.

He sighed inwardly, looking at Yinger like this, he is so upright and upright, it will be a bit of a grind when this idiot is enlightened.Fortunately, Ying Er also wants to be with him, doesn't he?

As long as we stay together, we don't have to worry about his iron tree not blooming.

Ying Er just stayed in Mobei.

His identity was meant to rot in his stomach, and he had the right to pretend that he had no father or mother, so he followed Gu Zhiyao and called himself Chu outside.

The emperor also thought it was good, and gave him a name: Chu Weizhen.

Ying Er has never read the book, so he doesn't know the meaning of this name, but Zhu Chengdong thinks this name is very good, and it really matches his own.

Autumn went to spring, and in the next spring, the emperor allowed the two of them to go back to the capital and eat Chu Qingfeng and Chu Mingyue's wedding wine. When they returned to Mobei, the grass on the grassland was all green.

Ying Er was happy for the pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and there seemed to be slight ripples in his eyes that had always been calm.

During the day he practiced soldiers, at night Zhu Chengdong sneaked into Ying Er's tent and lectured to him.

"We won't talk about the art of war today." Zhu Chengdong brought wine, which was the peach blossom wine that Gu Zhiyao prepared for him before leaving.

Gu Zhiyao's food skills are as good as ever. There are many peach trees in his fief, so he picked some peach blossoms to make a lot of wine. First, he used it for Chu Mingyue and Song Ruyue's wedding banquet, and second, he also took it away for Zhu Chengdong to taste. Taste the taste of Jiangnan.

Ying Er was puzzled, and saw that Zhu Chengdong poured two cups of wine in a small wine cup, and then took out a book.

"Learn the Book of Songs today."

Also, what is learning not learning?Ying Er was quite willing to listen to Zhu Chengdong's lectures to him.

The mellow aroma of peach blossom stuffing is sweet, and the whole tent is full of the sweet and warm smell of Jiangnan.

"Son Yugui, do you know what it means?"

Ying Er shook his head, looked at Zhu Chengdong, and waited for him to continue.

Zhu Chengdong took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "It means that when a woman reaches the age to get married, the next sentence is Yi Qishi's family, which means that the husband and wife are harmonious and loving."

"Yinzi married a beautiful girl, and Little Walnut also married Feng Jinian. General Chu, how about you? Do you have a sweetheart? Or do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life?"

Zhu Chengdong smiled ambiguously, but Ying Er didn't come and felt his heart flutter.

After getting along for a long time, most of the time, Ying Er would know what the other person meant without opening his mouth. Seeing Ying Er's eyes were soft, like spring water, he laughed and poured the remaining peach blossom wine in the wine cup into his mouth. Then kissed each other.

The son returns home, and the wine warms people up.

The next day, Deputy General Chu moved into General Zhu's tent and never moved out again.
