King's return

"From Honghan, dear:

First congratulations on your title on the gold list, and then congratulations on your being appreciated by the Holy One.If you marry into my Lu family like this, no one will say that my Lu family is just a rude warrior with a champion like you.

It's just that you don't want to keep the gift of the champion?If it is for the reward of marrying me and me, then you are doing nothing.Presumably you have also heard that my brother and I have made another military exploit.With military exploits added to my body, it is better for me to come here myself to get you a reward from the Lu family.Although the sage is a gentleman with a quick word, it is better to ask for this reward as soon as possible, so that the sage will not forget about it when he is busy with government affairs.When you ask for this reward in the future, the Holy Majesty will not give it again in a daze.

Leshan, as expected, I am used to calling you Leshan.I will never forget what you told me. Besides, there will be no mistakes in my brother's decision-making. I will point out that even if there is a plan, I will put it forward in public and only act after deliberation.Although you may not accept military orders abroad, I, a general, will still abide by your military orders.

Leshan, this year Liyuan is in flowering season, forgive me for not being able to be with you, and I will definitely be with you in the coming year to spend the waiting time of flowering.

Leshan, this time I will definitely not think that I missed the appointment with you on the Lantern Festival that year, and when you bring me back, it will be the day you and I get married.

Leshan, wait for me to come back.

Lu Fangxu

Hongjing April 11』

Taking advantage of the dim sunset, Shen Leshan finished reading this "family letter" with a smile, scolding someone who would use his reward on that person.

"It's hard for someone like you who doesn't like to practice calligraphy to be able to write the characters bestowed by the Holy One."

Rubbing the rough letter paper with her fingertips, she pursed her thin lips slightly as she watched the strands of longing revealed in those words.

"You are really bold. With your position as a general, no one dares to check your letters at will, so you talk about the Holy Majesty, and you say that you will obey my military orders. If you are cautious in your words and deeds, why can't you remember it. Still You are urging me to ask for a reward, and I didn’t know that I was harmed because of my careless words that day. But there is no need to worry, this reward will be available soon.”

Looking at the vow never to miss the appointment in the letter, the joyful laughter of the Lantern Festival that year seemed to ring in my ears again.

The sixth year of Hongjing is the third year that the current Holy Majesty is fully in charge.

The national tax is not heavy, but if the income is high, even if the tax is not heavy, the treasury is increasingly sufficient.The country is prosperous, and the people below naturally have no worries.

On the day of the Lantern Festival in Lu Zhai, the adults reunited and chatted in the house, and the children were also playing in the garden.But among the adults chatting, and among the children playing around, the second son of the Lu family could not be seen, but there was a piece of snow on the top of the west wall missing, and the young man was anxiously pacing back and forth at the bottom of the wall.

"Du Yuan, go back to the room, Xiao Xu will definitely not come back if he doesn't play for an hour."

A familiar male voice sounded behind him, and the servant turned around to salute.

"Yes, young master."

The snow-covered road left a trail of light footprints, which continued to the gazebo by the lake.Lu Fangxu, who was seventeen years old, was in his masculinity, but he didn't feel cold in single clothes.There was less than half a jug of wine left in his hand, and he picked up the rapier that he brought with him when he went out, and a silver light flashed from the edge of the sword.When he walked to the open space in front of the gazebo, he suddenly trembled, and a burst of cold light shot out, flowing freely, coherently and freely.

After a set of sword skills, sweat was already seeping from his temples, and he spit out mist after drinking a sip of wine.

"Good swordsmanship."

Suddenly, a youthful question came from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar boy.

"It turned out to be a talented scholar from Shenyang in the capital. Why, you didn't go with your family during the Lantern Festival and wandered alone in this cold street. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to your weak body? That year, you were panting after running for a few steps. What I know is that you, Mr. Shen, are exhausted and out of breath, but those who don’t know think that I, Lu Fangxu, have this habit of cutting off sleeves at a young age, and have treated you lightly."

Xu Shi is used to speaking in an undisguised way on weekdays. Although such words are slightly contemptuous, they still mean more of a joke.

"Why can't I remember what the teacher said clearly? He is good at remembering this is not a trivial matter." Hearing the slightly teasing words, Shen Leshan also gave the "return gift" mercilessly, and saw the sweat on the other party's forehead. The corner of the sleeve raised his hand to wipe it for him, "Although you are upright when you are young, you are more likely to catch cold after sweating. Why don't you wear a cloak when you go out."

He was about to put his cloak on him, but was stopped by Lu Fangxu.

"Compared to me, your health seems to be worse than mine. Back then, you were exhausted after running for a few steps. If you caught a cold, you might be in more trouble than me."

"That was when I was young, and my body has been recuperated over the years. I also practice swordsmanship on weekdays. Although it is not as fluent and powerful as you were just now, it is still enough for physical strengthening."

Lu Fangxu looked at Shen Leshan's mature face, thinking his words were credible, he accepted the cloak handed over.Looking at the white mist he spit out, he led it into the gazebo and handed him the remaining wine.

"If you don't dislike it, let's drink some wine to keep warm."

He also drank wine at home, Shen Leshan thought that he would not be afraid of getting drunk if he drank less, so he took a sip from the wine jar, but immediately frowned.

"It's really spicy."

"That's natural. This is the wine used by the army when my father was fighting abroad in the early years. Because the northern border is cold, this wine is also more spicy. Although it is not as warm as the Jingzhong wine, this hot wine is what a man should drink. " Lu Fangxu uttered wild words, but it was also the ambition of a boy of his age, "If I didn't look at you pleasing to the eye, I wouldn't drink this wine for you, a scholar."

As Lu Fangxu said this, he snatched the wine jar from Shen Leshan's hand, and swallowed it with his head held high.

"You obviously let me drink this wine on your own initiative. I haven't disliked that you drank it. You will dislike me when the time comes. Besides, what's wrong with you because I'm a scholar? Besides, you, the second son of the Lu family, The young master is suitable for me to study under the same teacher, if you dislike me so far, don't you think you also dislike yourself?"

Shen Leshan caught the slightest inappropriateness in the other party's words, and began to "pen and ink" mercilessly.

"I can't say no to you, you have such a dexterous tongue, let's save Kaichun to debate with the afterlife. I, Lu Fangxu, should specialize in my way of marching." Lu Fangxu curled his lips and tried to stop the war of words. He clearly knew that if he wanted to surpass this talented man in the capital, he would have to practice for many more years, "Since you said that you practice swordsmanship, would I be lucky enough to see it?"

"Lend you a sword to use."

Without the slightest twitch, Shen Leshan took the opponent's saber, the smile in his eyes sank, leaving only a serious look.Turn sideways, raise arms, shake sword.He looked at Lu Fangxu with piercing eyes, as if staring at a long-awaited prey.Lifting the sword upwards, retracting the arms towards the body, a Yunjian turned around with his back facing Lu Fangxu.

What followed was a sharp sword dance. Although each move was not as magnificent as Lu Fangxu's dance just now, it had a special flavor.At the end of one set, although he was not out of breath, his cheeks were still red.

"I'm brave enough to dance a sword in front of your general family."

With a hint of self-mockery, Le Shan chuckled.

"No, although this set of swordsmanship has many tricks and no practicality, and most of the moves are defensive, it is very suitable for you. It really suits you." For some reason, when he heard the other party's self-deprecating words, Lu Fangxu became anxious He said comfortingly, "How about this, how about I slightly modify this set of swordsmanship and add some more defensive moves."

"If that's the case, it would be great over there. I'll thank Brother Lu in advance."

"Call me Fang Xu, you can call me Fang Xu, you don't have to be so polite."

It was another word that could not be thought through, after Lu Fangxu finished speaking, he felt regretful, seeing Shen Leshan suddenly froze and didn't know how to respond, just about to say "If you don't want to, forget it", but saw him A humble smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Being respectful is worse than obedience. Since I have already called you 'Fang Xu', you can call me Leshan. If you don't want to, don't force it."

"Leshan! No, I'll go back and get some more wine. Let's chat all night long!"

Just like back then, Lu Fangxu hurried towards home before he could wait for Leshan's response.

"Hey, your sword!" Le Shan had just spoken, but Lu Fangxu had long since disappeared, and his voice weakened, "You haven't helped me teach me the revised swordsmanship... Anyway, there is still time in the future."

Putting the pen back into the pen holder, Shen Leshan's thoughts returned to reality again, and he shook his head helplessly.

"That year you were caught by your elder brother as soon as you returned to Lu's residence. When I saw you the next day, I blamed me for not waiting for you. I don't know who let me wait for an hour in the night sky alone. If it wasn't for the small jar of strong wine, I would I'm afraid I won't be able to see you the next day, so I should lie down on the bed."

After tidying up the desk, he took off his coat and went to sleep lightly. As for whether there is the person he misses in the dream, only Leshan himself knows.
