Rebirth of the Son Raiders

As time went by, Li Jingcheng alone led the northern border army to fight against demons in the Nanling area, and both the ability to return the soul of the ancestors and the ability to command had improved by leaps and bounds.

Even when the palace and the court were speculating that the eldest son of the emperor had awakened his soul, why His Majesty still had no intention of making him the crown prince, and even left him in the dangerous Nanling, he himself knew very well that the northern border would be His whole life.

Although Li Jingcheng is the soul of his ancestors, his form is the silver wolf of the Yong Kingdom, which means that he has no destiny for the throne in this life.

Even if the eldest son of the emperor has the strength to rebel in the future, as long as he is the soul of the ancestor of the "Silver Wolf", it is impossible for Liangzhou to accept an emperor who is not a "barbarian".

To put it to the extreme, whether it is King Yu, King Qi or King Jing, they are at least the souls of "Zhiyi", so for most people, it doesn't matter who among them becomes emperor.

But if Li Jingcheng is allowed to pursue the throne, everyone in Liangzhou will immediately become enemies with him. Unless he can slaughter all Liangzhou people, it will be impossible.

If there is no accident, Li Qiyu will be like Emperor Xian, with only one queen and two biological sons in his life.

Among them, the eldest son, Li Jingcheng, was appointed as a prince to guard the northern border, while the youngest son, Li Jingxi, was raised as a crown prince. One day he would inherit the throne, and the two brothers performed their own responsibilities.

Now part of the Northern Frontier Army followed His Majesty into Beijing, occupying an important position in the newly reorganized Sixteen Guards of the capital to protect the safety of the officials.

There are also a small number of mid-level generals who have been incorporated into the Xichang Army. In the absence of a prince to take over the Western Regions, with them, the Xichang Army can gradually become a team serving the emperor;

The vast majority of the generals and soldiers of the northern border army still stayed in Pingwu, under the control of the eldest son of the emperor, and continued to guard the border.

In fact, the Twelve Princes are almost adults at this time, and they can completely guard one side with heavy troops protecting each other.

But even if the queen mother didn't want to keep him by her side for two years, His Majesty would not let him succeed Li Jingcheng in charge of the northern border.

Yongguo experienced war earlier than Liangzhou, but it recovered far less quickly than Liangzhou.

Its border army has not yet returned completely, and it was not until a while ago that a royal family with the power of soul manifestation finally came, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation. Otherwise, Li Qiyu, who was still King Yu at the beginning, would not have received the invitation from Master Wujue. Make arrangements to go to the capital in such a short time after the letterhead.

It can be said that among the four borders, the situation in the northern border is the most severe, and it cannot be suppressed by a minor royal family at all.

Therefore, the Twelve Princes are most likely to go to the Western Regions, and then check with Li Jingshu, the third son of King Qi who has been demoted to the common people but bears the emperor's order, and use the power of the souls of the two royal families to subdue the demons on the border of the Western Regions.

Since the eldest son of the emperor wants to stay in the north for a long time, it is natural that someone is available.

At this point, Li Qiyu only has two sons, and he has full trust in Li Jingcheng, not only in his character, but also in his ability.

Therefore, half of the shadow guards in Prince Yu's Mansion were handed over to Li Jingcheng, and most of the confidant generals he trained by himself were left in the northern army, so that Li Jingcheng could take charge of Pingwu and Hanyang as soon as possible.

All of this went extremely smoothly according to His Majesty's expectation. The northern border became more and more stable day by day, and soon returned to the level of having never experienced war. However, Li Jingcheng has not felt relaxed recently.

Lin Yanhong's condition began to recur, and it became normal for him to fall asleep several times a month, and sometimes he would even turn into the form of his ancestor's returning soul, unable to recover his human form for two or three days in a row.

Not to mention letting Lin Yanhong stay in Dudu's mansion alone, even letting him stay in Qudu alone, Li Jingcheng was not at ease.

You can't stay in the mansion, you can only put it by your side and watch it with your own eyes.

Li Jingcheng simply turned Lin Yanhong into the state of his ancestor's returning soul, put it in his lapel, and took it to Nanling.Fortunately, the weather has turned cold, so you can wear thicker clothes so that you won't be noticed.

But on the side of the Pingyang Dudu Mansion, Lin Changshi can only "take leave".

This somewhat made everyone in the Dudu Mansion, who had finally become one, a little worried.

Among the aristocratic families that have lasted for several generations or even nearly 200 years in Liangzhou, the five surnames of Qiao, He, Lai, Gong and Chen are the most prominent.

Earlier, Lin Yanhong established a deep "friendship" with the Gong family's collateral lineage and the "younger" Chen family. Now that they have emerged, the collateral branches of the Gong family have also gained the strength to fight against the main family.

Especially after King Yu inherited the throne and ascended the throne as emperor, the offshoots of the Gong family headed by the Chen family and Gong Mengchang all received awards and awards from the court in the name of "loyalty to the emperor" and "salvation of the world".

Gong Mengchang immediately led the Gong family's collateral lineage to separate from the main family, formed a line of their own, and moved away with the whole family. From then on, there were two aristocratic families of Lingdong Gong and Lingxi Gong in Pingwu.

Because the Lai family was preparing to make money in the "national calamity" during the war, and was later ordered by the court to ransack the house and liquidate it, the five surnames of Pingwu and Hanyang changed from the original Qiao, He, Lai, Gong and Chen to Qiao and He. , Xigong, Donggong and Chen.

During this period, the He family saw the right time to show their minds to the Governor's Mansion. So far, three of the five surnames have established contact with Yuwang Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, and the two counties of Pingyang have become unprecedentedly "harmonious".

Although Lin Changshi is young, he has extraordinary ability, outstanding demeanor, coupled with his upright personality, he has never broken his promise to the aristocratic family. Over time, Gong Mengchang and others have become accustomed to listening to Lin Changshi's speech.

Now that he has been sick for a long time, it naturally makes some people panic.

An official said to Gong Mengchang, who had been promoted to Cao Canjun: "My lord, Master Changshi fell ill again. How many times has this happened in half a year? What should I do?"

After Gong Mengchang received the news, he was also worried: "Chang Shi has already arranged everything, everything will be fine as usual, there is nothing difficult to do."

The subordinate officials couldn't see his sad face: "Earlier, I heard that Lin Changshi was weak when he was young, and he had suffered a serious illness in Beijing, but when he first saw him, he didn't believe it at all. Lin Changshi clearly saw it. Looks very healthy! Who knows how long it will take, and the previous rumors have been confirmed."

In fact, it is not a rumor, but when Lin Yanhong first arrived in Pingwu, in order to deal with him, the chief of the Pingyang Dudu Mansion, the aristocratic families tried their best to inquire about the news.

"Previously there were wars in Yongzhou and our state, and the affairs in the north were heavy. Lin Changshi also went to Xicang with the eldest son of the emperor. He was obviously tired... Take care of yourself for a while, after this autumn and winter, It will be better next year."

Gong Mengchang comforted the official in this way, but he was actually talking to himself to comfort himself.

In the northern border, their Lingxi Gong relied on the former Prince Yu's Mansion and the current Pingwuxing Palace in the final analysis, but in fact it was Lin Changshi who they could really talk to.

Lin Changshi seems to have become a bridge for them to talk to Pingwuxing Palace. If it's not good, they can't say it to Li Jingcheng, the eldest son of the emperor, but they can say it to Lin Changshi.

Most of the time, Lin Changshi's smile is like a spring breeze, making people close and trustworthy.

As long as they understand the principle of "enough is enough", there are very few things that cannot be negotiated with Lin Changshi.

If Lin Changshi can't afford to be sick like this, even...then Lingxi Gong, the Chen family, and the He family who just joined their camp may not be as happy as before.

In this northern land, besides Li Jingcheng, whoever hopes Lin Changshi gets better soon is Gong Mengchang and the others.

"Lin Changshi is still so young, and he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future. I hope he will be lucky and get well soon."

……

After a fierce battle, he returned to the tent to rest. Li Jingcheng strode towards the bed, and when he reached the bed, he carefully took the sleeping little guy out of his arms and gently placed him under the quilt.

The cat trapped in the quilt is actually an adult, but I don't know if it is because the body is not healthy, so it is petite, not much bigger than the cat when it was a cub, and it is still a small ball, Li Jingcheng can hold it with one hand.

Back then, Li Jingcheng's ancestral soul hadn't turned into an adult, and the little wolf cub and the kitten cub were lying together, and they didn't look much older.

Now that the silver wolf has become an adult, Lin Yanhong's ancestor's return soul is completely surrounded by the silver wolf's tail, and there is still room to spare. It can be seen that there is a huge gap between the two changes.

Li Jingcheng looked at it nestled in the quilt, breathing so thinly that it was almost inaudible, and his heart ached beyond measure. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked its back, as if stroking a fragile treasure.

Lin Yanhong seemed to feel something, turned over slightly, and moved his two snow-white paws, resting on Li Jingcheng's wrist.

Li Jingcheng wished he could use his body to bear all the pain and suffering for him, it would be better than what he is doing now, he can only watch him suffer helplessly.

"Stay by my side forever... You promised me, you can't break your promise." Li Jingcheng bent down and kissed its forehead.

At this time, a shadow guard reported in a low voice, and Li Jingcheng pulled the thin blanket over, just covering Lin Yanhong's ancestor's returning soul.

After the shadow guard came in, he saluted and said, "Your Highness, there is news from Beijing that Master Wujue is ready to leave the imperial city and is expected to arrive in Qudu within three days."

Hearing this, Li Jingcheng immediately stood up: "Really?"

He was so excited, which is actually rare, but the shadow guard kneeling beside the bed remained expressionless, as if he didn't know, he replied: "The message back to His Highness is the news from His Majesty himself, so it should be correct."

Sure enough, Master Wujue arrived in Qudu smoothly in the early morning of the third day. He didn't rest. After seeing Li Jingcheng, he said bluntly, "Where is Benefactor Lin?"

Li Jingcheng saw that the master was tired and looked much older than the last time we met. He felt very guilty, but he still replied, "Master, please."

Afterwards, he personally brought Master Wujue to Lin Yanhong's room.

What Master Wujue saw was still Lin Yanhong's ancestor's returning soul. He carefully inspected it, and then fell silent for a while.

Seeing this, Li Jingcheng's heart sank, but he didn't dare to speak rashly. During the silent moment, every breath was extremely difficult, and the atmosphere was so low that it seemed that if it continued like this, it would be suffocating.

After a long time, Li Jingcheng heard Master Wu Jue say:

"Jing Cheng, I'm afraid I have to take Yanhong to Beijing to save his life."
