The first favorite of rebirth

Jinzhou City has been under martial law for five days, and finally the Liao soldiers ambushed in the city were cleared away. This sneak attack also ended quietly. In fact, the residents of the border city have long been used to fighting from time to time, and now they live in peace. Everyone goes home and lives, as if nothing didn't happen.

Compared with Jinzhou's stability, the Liao Kingdom has undergone great changes. After Yeluqiong's death, Xiao Yixian took over all of his army invisibly.

It was not until dinner on the sixth day that Xia Chengxi came back from outside the city. Without waiting for anyone to notify him, he went straight into the flower hall and threw the heavy armor on the ground. Tang Wei ran out excitedly to hug him. Xia Chengxi circled Tang Wei , looked at Jue Yun happily, and said: "I was afraid that something would happen to you, but in the end you were able to kill Liao Bing! You really deserve to be Min Yue's son!"

"I took him there!" Lin He sat at the table, holding a chicken leg in his hand, "General, do I have a share of the credit too?"

Xia Chengxi looked at Lin He suspiciously, frowned and said, "How is your poison?"

"The poison from those bastards, your doctor can't cure it." Lin He picked up a glass of wine like an adult, poured himself a drink and said: "The poison in me can't be pulled out, and I vomit blood from time to time , but don't worry, you won't die for the time being."

Although Xia Chengxi felt that Lin He was pitiful, but his identity was unknown, and he was always suspicious. At this moment, he saw him sitting carelessly among the two children eating, as if he knew everyone very well, so he asked, "Have you been living here?" it's here?"

"I have nowhere to go." Lin He suddenly showed a rogue and pitiful expression, "If I go back to Daliao, they will definitely kill me, and die in their hands anyway, why don't I fight with you! "

He looked at Xia Chengxi's expression, and continued: "Don't worry, I don't want any position, I just want to follow you to kill people."

"Lin He is also very pitiful." Tang Wei was already familiar with Lin He. He looked at Xia Chengxi and said, "Let him stay."

Looking at Lin He's expression, Xia Cheng felt that the hatred in his eyes didn't seem to be lying. In the chaotic world, there are naturally many people who can't help themselves. He looked at Jue Yun and said, "What do you think?"

Jue Yun looked at Lin He, thinking that he brought him to find Pei Jiqing that day, he was very grateful, so he nodded.

"That's good." Xia Chengxi said seriously: "If you are willing to join the army with me, I will naturally welcome it. Although the Liao army has retreated, it is still eyeing it like a tiger. After a few days of training, I will move to live in the big camp outside the city. It's time for real swords and guns, do you want to follow me?"

Jue Yun stared, looking at Xia Chengxi's face in disbelief. He thought Xia Chengxi would blame him for running out to find someone desperately, but Xia Chengxi praised him so much that he even took the initiative to call him to the battlefield.Although Jueyun had stayed in the school grounds, he had never been to a military camp. When he thought of actually marching and fighting, he immediately became excited.

He glanced at Lin He again. The two children were very excited, as if they were going to gallop to the battlefield on horseback tonight, but Tang Wei was not interested in such tiring things. He suddenly thought of Jueyun and Lin He was about to leave, so he fiddled with his glass in frustration, and said, "Why are you happy, Pei Qi won't agree."

Jue Yun was discouraged all of a sudden, Xia Chengxi asked: "Where is he?"

"It rained that day, he seemed to be sick." Jue Yun said, "I haven't eaten much in the past few days."

Xia Chengxi was silent for a moment, and said: "He has read too many books, and his mind is full of monarchs and ministers. Naturally, he will not agree. You don't have to care about him, just follow me."

Jue Yun got up from his seat and said seriously: "I'll go and talk to him."

There was silence in the general's mansion, Jue Yun returned to the room, and saw Pei Jiqing sitting at the table, dozing off with a book in his hand.The warm red candlelight spread out, flushing Pei Jiqing's soft side face, Jue Yun approached quietly, put his arms around Pei Jiqing's waist, and rubbed his head against his back.

"I've got a cold, so stay away." Pei Jiqing put the book on the table, stretched out his hand to hold Jue Yunhuan's dog's paw around his waist, his voice was really nasal, "I see I have finished your recent homework, which is better than what I wrote before, but it is still far from written."

Jue Yun was still holding him, and Pei Jiqing continued: "I think you have a good relationship with Lin He, the young master is indeed too capricious, you may think Lin He is more fun, but he is not a Han Chinese after all, there are some things that should be guarded against You still have to be on guard, and you have to keep your secrets well, and you can’t tell him everything.”

Jue Yun did not interrupt as usual, he let go of Pei Jiqing, hesitated for a while, and then said: "General Xia is back."

In the silence, someone knocked on the door, and the maid brought hot water to the door. Pei Jiqing put away the book, stood up and took the hot water, soaked the towel in the water and wiped Jue Yun's face. He didn't have to half kneel and bend over like before. You can get a child at the waist, and Jueyun seems to be a lot taller, and he is already a teenager.

Jue Yun took Pei Jiqing's hand, and simply said: "General Xia is going to camp, and I will go too."

Pei Jiqing was stunned for a moment, but his expression was as usual. He asked Jueyun to sit on the stool and was about to wash his feet. Seeing that he was silent, Jueyun continued: "Don't worry, I will take the book with me, and I will also take the book with you." Keep reading."

Pei Jiqing's eyelids twitched, and said calmly: "The people in the barracks are all warriors, who did you learn to read from?"

"Learn by yourself." Jue Yun raised his head and said, "Master often says: read a book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning."

Pei Jiqing was at a loss for words for a moment, he looked up at Jue Yun's face, and couldn't help laughing on his face that had been tense all the time, only then did he realize that Jue Yun already had his own opinions, and he was no longer the one who was coaxed by him for a few words. You can worry about the frightened children.

"Let's talk about it." Jue Yun continued: "I sit here and study all day long. When will I return to the capital in a fair manner? If I go to take the imperial examination, the court is full of Fu Congjin's people. Wouldn't it be more important than going to the battlefield? It's dangerous, you saw it the day the Liao soldiers entered the city, and I can still protect you."

"It was just a small sneak attack. Xiao Yixian had no intention of attacking the city at all. He just found an excuse to get the military power, and you have seen how many people died on the street and how much blood was shed." Pei Jiqing decided Yun wiped his feet, accidentally measured the length of his feet, then stood up and picked up the dirty water, "Soldiers have no eyes, they are different from the training in the school field, and—"

Pei Jiqing paused, ready to go out to pour out the dirty water, and said softly: "Your Highness, everyone here wants to protect you, and no one needs your protection."

"Uncle Pei." Jue Yun tugged at his lapel, quickly snatched the hot water from his hand, and asked solemnly, "Do you know why my father can't beat the regent?"

Pei Jiqing didn't react, he hesitated for a long time before asking: "Why?"

"Because he couldn't drive away the Liao people, and he was afraid of them, so he became emperor, but he couldn't even protect my mother. She was pregnant with a child, and she was about to be driven to the broken palace." Jue Yun walked to the door with hot water, and turned his head. Said: "But I won't, I will protect you."

After saying this, Jue Yun ran out with hot water, and Pei Jiqing stayed where he was, with the corners of his mouth twitching dumbfoundedly, and after reacting for a long time, he shouted: "Hey! I just washed it, why did you go out again? "

Jue Yun turned his head, and a leisurely voice came: "I'll pour dirty water!"

Time flies, and the hottest two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and autumn is getting deeper, but Pei Jiqing has not recovered from the cold, feeling groggy every day, and dare not go to the kitchen to cook again, for fear of infecting others .

Jinzhou has become a safe and peaceful frontier pearl again, Xia Chengxi has been staying in the mansion, and Jue Yun continues to study with Tang Wei and learn martial arts with Xia Chengxi.Lin He and Xiao Bing lived in the school grounds, and occasionally came to read with them, but he was a little absent-minded, but he learned Chinese characters very quickly. The master wrote it once, and he only needed to read it for a while before he could come out silently.

Pei Jiqing's speech was stuffy and her nose was always runny, so she proposed to sleep next door. Jue Yun seemed to be used to having people lying next to her, so she disagreed with her life and death, and the two of them still lay on the same bed.

Pei Jiqing still took care of his diet and daily life. When Jue Yun was studying and doing his homework, he sat and watched, sometimes wrote and drew beside him, and sometimes Jue Yun turned his head to look at him, but Pei Jiqing didn't realize it. It seemed that this Accompanying students are more serious than students themselves.

It's just that the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither of them mentioned the matter of going to Daying.

Just after September, the master gave them a day off. Jue Yun woke up from his sleep until noon. He saw Pei Jiqing standing in front of him, taking out a new set of clothes and gesticulating, so he squinted and got out of the quilt , said: "What are you doing?"

Pei Jiqing waved to him happily, and said: "Today is your birthday. I went to the street to make new clothes for you the day before yesterday. I didn't ask you to measure them, so I don't know if they fit. Come down and try them on."

"My mother didn't even give me this." Jue Yun was sleeping drowsily, and said vaguely: "How do you know my birthday?"

"I am a high-ranking official, so of course you have to take your father's affairs to heart." Pei Jiqing shook his clothes, and reached out to pick up the thread on the embroidery, "After today, I will be nine years old, and I have grown taller. Not enough clothes to wear."

As soon as Jue Yun heard that he had grown taller, he got out of bed excitedly and asked Pei Jiqing to put on new clothes for him.This dress is not the sky blue and water green of the past, but a thick cyan color. The collar is embroidered with dark unicorn patterns wrapped with black thread and silver thread. Standing in front of the mirror, Jue Yun feels that he is no longer the child he used to be. He raised his chest and tried to make himself look taller.

Pei Jiqing crouched beside him and fastened his belt.Jue Yun was thinner and stronger than before, and his arms had gained some muscle. His cheeks, which were white and soft before, were not so round, and his chin began to be defined. He looked very handsome. He also smiled on his own cheek: "Uncle Pei, look at me handsome."

"You're handsome when you're not smiling." Pei Jiqing said, "When you smile, you show those two dog teeth, and you're still a puppy."

"You're just jealous of me." Jue Yun turned his head and smiled, his snow-white canines looming, "If I don't want it, I'm taller than you."

"What's missing on your waist? A gentleman is like jade. When you grow up, you should also wear jade." Pei Jiqing stood up, feeling a little stuffy again, and took some money out of his pocket, "Go out and play, I want to wear jade." Get some sleep."

Jueyun took the silver and went out of the room happily. He walked around the rockery to Tang Wei's residence, only to find Xia Chengxi standing in the courtyard. Holding his saber, as soon as he saw Jue Yun, he beckoned him to come over.

Jue Yun didn't know what happened in the past, Xia Chengxi asked him to stand in front of the weapon rack, stretched out his hand and said: "You are much taller than before, and this dress is very energetic."

After finishing speaking, Xia Chengxi took out the wooden spear and stabbed directly at Jueyun. Jueyun dodged backwards, jumped onto the stone table in the courtyard, and took a wooden sword, just in time to block Xia Chengxi's blow.

Xia Chengxi put down the gun with a smile, and said, "I'm going back to the camp tonight, I'm going to clean up, and I'm going to come with me."

"Really?" Jue Yun was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'll tell Uncle Pei."

"Go." Xia Chengxi patted him on the shoulder and said, "If he hesitates, just tell him: Man, what is there to worry about? Fu Congjin was only 15 years old when he went to the battlefield."

Jueyun put away the wooden sword, and ran quickly to the small courtyard where he lived. When he opened the door, he saw the maid sweeping the house, but not Pei Jiqing who was lying down just now. He pulled the maid and asked: " Where's Uncle Pei?"

The maid shook her head, apparently not knowing where Pei Jiqing had gone, Jueyun took out the sword from the cabinet, packed some clothes and some books by herself, and sat by the bed to wait.

Pei Jiqing didn't come back until the sun went down, Xia Chengxi sent someone to call him, Jueyun had no choice but to leave a note, and took Yanyue out from the stable, but he still looked around in front of the door unwillingly, Xia Chengxi told the little girl in front of the door The servant said: "Where did he go? Why is there no one?"

The boy thought about it, and said: "When he was going out, he asked where there was a jade shop. I said Mingyue in the west of the city had a good memory, so he went out."

Only then did Jue Yun feel relieved, and said: "Today is my birthday, he said that I should wear jade when I grow up, maybe I went to buy jade."

"You didn't tell me your birthday, but I didn't give you a good time. We went to Daying today, let's drink." Xia Chengxi held the whip and said: "Let's go, this city is very peaceful, and it's not like I won't come back."

Jue Yun knew that the military order must not be disobeyed, so he also nodded and stepped on the white horse. He turned his head and glanced at the young man, and said: "When he comes back, you have to tell him that I am leaving, but I will come back."

The boy nodded, and led the horse for Xia Chengxi. Xia Chengxi clamped the horse's back, and the sweaty BMW had already galloped for several miles. Jue Yun rode a white horse and followed him closely. A group of riders, all wearing light military uniforms, headed towards the Great Wall outside the Great Wall. The camp galloped away.

Pei Jiqing walked to the alley of the General's Mansion, just as he saw a group of people marching towards the city gate. With a "thump" in his heart, he hurried into the mansion, but there was no one in the small courtyard. He opened the cabinet and found the decisive Yun had already packed his clothes, so he knew where he had gone.

Pei Jiqing sat down numbly, feeling that the wind and cold were worse after a trip, and he even couldn't breathe. He put the handkerchief on the table and looked up at the jade pendant wrapped inside. The jade pendant cost him a lot of money, but The tentacles are warm and moist, and there are two seal characters carved on them - "Ping An".

The orange-red lanterns had already been lit in the General's Mansion, and the lanterns lit up one after another, like a warm arc spreading far away. Pei Jiqing looked up, only to find that all the books had been taken away by Jue Yun. Pack of medicine, a small note is pinned on it, which says "Remember to take medicine", and a puppy sticking out its tongue is drawn on the back of the note.

Pei Jiqing couldn't help smiling, and suddenly felt relieved, he felt that he shouldn't be indulging in the old self-blame, the battlefield is difficult, but Jue Yun will grow up, and one day, he will become the best in Dazhou At that time, he had the courage and capital to show the world the emperor's sword in his hand and protect his homeland and the world.
