Flavored candle shop

A young man was born in a border town, and he was like a fish in water as soon as he entered the wind and sand for thousands of miles. He was originally a passionate personality, but he became more flamboyant and fearless in the tough border town.

There is no big war on the border, but small conflicts continue, and horse bandits and sand thieves emerge in endlessly. In the bloody battles, the fierce boy wielding a long knife stepped on the enemy's corpse to climb up step by step. After a year, he became the deputy general of the border guard.

"Zhige, what are you writing and drawing with a pen every day when you return to your tent?"

The tall young man in the same account squatted by the table to look around curiously. He knew that this person was illiterate.

"Write a letter to your family to say you're safe."

"Which one of us is with whom, you still keep it from me!" The tall young man winked, "I don't think it's a family member, but a family member?"

"To report the safety of your family, you need to write it every day. You send letters twice a month, and each time the envelope can't fit, you have to use a box to pack it. You have to add money to the messenger. With our little salary, you use it all to write it." Have you sent the letter, there are so many things to say?"

Hong Yao didn't raise her head, and kept writing: "It's not all letters."

"Yes, you still want to paint the four seasons of the border city and send it back. What is it called? Oh, Hongyan is passing on the book ~ chat and send lovesickness!"

The red medicine pen paused, and closed the pen in time before the ink condensed into a ball: "What nonsense, do you know what this word means? Just use it indiscriminately... Maybe you haven't sent a letter home for a long time, do you want me to write one for you?" ?”

"I want it!"

After receiving the letter, the tall young man carefully dried the ink on the paper, looked at it lovingly for a long time, and sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect that I would have to suffer from illiteracy after I joined the army. Dare to fight, dare to rush, I am afraid that the highest in this life is the captain of the frontier town."

Hong Yao smiled and said: "Who said that, if you become a general, you will naturally have a military adviser who can read the military order review documents for you."

"Cough cough cough... Zhi Ge is going to talk nonsense!" The tall young man leaned out of the tent to look around in fright, "How can it be overheard by others!"

Hong Yao: "I heard it when I heard it. Which soldier doesn't want to be a general? We didn't come to the border town for thousands of miles to be a soldier and eat yellow sand."

"You are always so dare to say it," the tall young man gently smoothed the crumpled letter paper, "I don't dare to think about the position of general, I know how much I have...but stop fighting you It’s different, you were promoted to lieutenant general in just one year, and after another year you might—”

"Also say that I dare to speak, you are the one who dares to say anything." Hong Yao put down her pen, and changed the subject with a natural expression, "Recently, the army has nothing to do, so you might as well take this opportunity to go to a private school in the city to learn calligraphy, and strive to be able to do it next year. Understand the military order."

"I won't go! That private school is full of little kids with hairless hair! Asking me to share a room with them to learn calligraphy, isn't that... Isn't that a joke!"

"Practicing calligraphy in the same room as a child is not a joke. You don't know as many characters as those shabby kids. That's the biggest joke." Hong Yao looked serious and said sharply, "Captain Shangguan, isn't this Suggestion, this is a military order!"

"Yes!" After answering the young officer's military order loudly with his back straightened, Shangguan Chong slumped back in an instant, "Stop it! I was wrong, I will never bother you to write letters anymore!!!"

Hong Yao smiled and said: "It won't hurt to read more characters, study hard, I will check regularly, you better not let me catch you being lazy, otherwise..."

"...I got it, I got it." Shangguan frowned, "I used to study in a private school for a few days, but later I went to business with my father and godfather. The scenery along the way was so beautiful that I left my textbooks behind... …I lost it and never picked it up again.”

"Oh, Zhi Ge, you can see that you are the young master. The kind of pedantic teacher who comes to teach at home must not understand the troubles of us elm-headed people."

"It's not everyone's young master." Hong Yao said with a calm expression, "I'm just a little book boy, and I'm not pedantic to teach at home. My calligraphy and reading are all taught by your son...but you are indeed a elm head."

Shangguan Chong was so swayed by the young officer's words that he didn't know how to answer, he was quiet for a while before he said: "Then... that young master is really kind and knowledgeable."

Hong Yao nodded as a matter of course: "Of course he's fine."

……

The embarrassing time of Shangguan Chong in the private school with the little boy was soon interrupted by the flames of war. Hong Yao once again witnessed the soldiers of the border towns approaching the city. The last time he was ruined because of this, but this time, it was a big deal for him. opportunity.

The lord of the frontier city was conspired to be seriously injured and unable to defend the city, and when he was in danger, he defied all opinions and entrusted the military power to the lieutenant general to stop the war.Zhi Ge was a natural general, not only lifted the border city from the danger of siege before the reinforcements arrived, but also ran for hundreds of miles to capture the leader of the Rong tribe alive. Capture the frightened leader.

His Majesty was overjoyed, and immediately decreed that Zhi Ge, the deputy general of Biancheng, should be promoted to general and be fully responsible for the affairs of Biancheng.

From deputy general to general, half a year earlier than the one-year period Shangguan Chong said.

……

"Uncle Lin wants to be a scholar?" Hong Yao looked at the frontier city guard who was dressed in casual clothes with a relaxed expression, and said anxiously, "Why is this so, Uncle Lin is in his prime—"

"Zhi Ge, you forgot, I am seriously injured now and cannot recover." General Lin interrupted Hong Yao's words meaningfully, and said slowly, "One city does not need two generals, one day or two days is fine, maybe one month or two months I can't see anything, but if I stay here again, it will only become your hindrance."

Hong Yao shook her head vigorously: "It's not a hindrance! Without Uncle Lin's help, how could I have been promoted to the deputy general of the border city in one year! This time, Uncle Lin pretended to be injured and delegated authority to pave the way for me, so I can have this opportunity!"

"This is not an opportunity I gave you, this is your own ability."

General Lin turned his head to look at the thousands of miles of wind and sand outside the city, and said in an erratic voice: "Since your father left, I was transferred to the border town by His Majesty. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed..."

"I'm not as good as your father... defending the city, defending the city, my ability can only be enough to defend this wind-and-sand city. But you are different, Zhi Ge," General Lin pressed Hong Yao's shoulder with his rough hand , with resolute eyes and a low tone, "Your path will never end here, you will continue to climb, and you will trample down all those who stand in front of you! You will let the whole world know that your surname is Hong, He is the son of General Red, the guard of the border town!"

"Your father will be completely washed away by the sewage that was poured on him, and the injustice he suffered!"

Red Medicine: "Yes!"

Seeing that Hong Yao was so firm, General Lin let go of his hands in relief, his tone softened, and he talked about the affairs of the court in detail for the tall and flamboyant young general.

"...Because the former emperor emphasized literature over military affairs and vigorously promoted the rule of law, the people all over the world also took pride in studying the imperial examinations. The culture of advocating literature over military affairs has been around for decades. The gap between them has always been huge.”

There was a sneer on General Lin's face: "So, for the Sui family, His Majesty may not really value favoritism. It is true that there are not many generals available in the court, so use them if you can."

"This time His Majesty has promoted you to be the chief general of the border city so simply, and it also means to cultivate you. You are young and have outstanding military talents. As long as you stand the test, your achievements will surpass that of Sui Jian in a short time!"

"As long as His Majesty has good generals, you only need to mention the nasty things that the Sui family did back then, and you don't need to take action, and His Majesty will completely liquidate them..."

……

Hongyao has been in the border town for three years, clearing up disputes for hundreds of miles, and causing chaos among the people.Even more so, he did not lose the slightest bit in the usual provocations of foreign races with evil intentions and ready to move, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and led troops to many cities!Strongly expand Jingchao territory!

The prestige of 'Zhi Ge' spreads all over the world, and everyone in the world knows it.

Finally, at the end of the fourth year after Hong Yao left the capital, the emperor ordered General Zhi Ge to return to Beijing for his duties.

On the surface, Shangjing is calm and happy, but in fact, the dark tide is raging. All the officials in the court know that Zhi Ge will return to Beijing this time, and His Majesty will definitely reward him. Sui Jian, the "leader of military generals" who has been rampant for more than ten years, is about to be completely unworthy of his name!

For this, some people clapped their hands and applauded, some looked on coldly, and some were anxious and decided to act first...

Whether it is protecting or killing, obstructing or blocking, all the uneven roads from the border town to Shangjing have been crushed by the young general's horseshoe.

Carrying the wind and sand from the city around him, he rushed into the spring brocade bush called Shangjing again.

Although the officials were more or less mentally prepared, they did not expect that His Majesty would directly seal Zhi Ge as General Wu'an. Although it cannot be said that he reached the sky in one step, it is definitely a skyrocket. In the official career of a general, Wu'an is at the end, and there is no way to seal him later seal up.

What's more, Zhi Ge needs to have actual achievements, military merits and military merits. He is still so young and has no family ties. For a while, all the officials in Shangjing who have daughters of the right age are jealous, and they can't wait to snatch them into the mansion on the spot. Worship the bridal chamber!

However, General Wu'an, who was coveted by everyone, quietly took up the role of a disciple of a private meeting over the wall. The high courtyard walls of Princess Yining's Mansion could not stop this hot young general at all. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain and environment, the agile General Wu An rolled into the quietest courtyard of the Princess Mansion without disturbing any of his servants, and met a pair of familiar smiling eyes in a blink of an eye.

"Ah Ci!" The iron-blooded and cold-faced general, who was rumored to kill one person in ten steps, stood among the flowers and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Sitting under the pavilion, Yin Ci also had a gentle smile in his eyes.

Hong Yao stepped up and walked towards Yin Ci, but before he got close, a handsome young man in a well-dressed man with a flower in his hand suddenly emerged from another bush of flowers: "Hey, hey! Where did you come from? How dare you trespass?" I am Princess Yining's mansion! Don't you know if this is the former residence of General Wu'an? Did you come here to play tricks or to provoke trouble? You are so brave, be careful of being hacked!"

Hong Yao looked at the young man who raised his arms to block Yin Ci behind him, looked at him with a playful smile, and called out helplessly, "Yin Bei."

Yin Bei raised her eyebrows: "Ah, it turns out that General Wu'an still remembers me, I thought you were so forgetful that you already forgot about me... It's been four years, and in four years you have sent me four A letter! The wild geese flying north and south every year are more diligent than your letter!"

"Knowing that books and ink are expensive in border towns, I specially asked the courier to send you a few boxes of pens, inks, papers and inkstones! The result? Not many letters, you are so brave to ask me to send more pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the coming year! Dare I ask General Wu'an, Are you fighting with pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Hong Yao and Pei Ci looked at each other with a guilty conscience, and turned their eyes together.

"Ahem, that... the border town is poor, and there is not much fun. It is thanks to the books and ink you sent me that I can pass the time without war."

"Yin Bei, thank you, really."

Yin Bei met Shang Hongyao's sincere and sincere eyes, and the anger that had started to bluff was emptied in an instant: "Thank you... thank you for what, there is something to thank between us, who doesn't know who... It's okay, it's okay, I know you and My brother still has a lot to say, so I won't stay here to obstruct your eyes, I will talk to Aunt Princess, so you can talk at ease."

After all, Yin Bei left gracefully with the freshly broken flowers just like before.

Just now, when Yin Bei blocked her, Hong Yao was extremely anxious, and she couldn't wait to say a thousand words to Yin Ci, but now that Yin Bei was gone, Hong Yao also walked in front of Yin Ci, and the only thing she could do was face to face. One step away, but nothing can be said.

Thousands of words in my heart turned into one sentence: "I'm back."

Yin Ci took Hong Yao's hand with a smile, and said softly, "Welcome back."
