My years as a soldier

When Li Muyun opened his eyes again, even he himself couldn't believe that he woke up in the barracks.

The decoration of this barracks is not much different from the previous camp in Tongguan, what has changed is only the position of some decorations.Undoubtedly, this is Tang Jun's camp!

Li Muyun couldn't help being a little dazed, he lay there for a long time in a daze, before he could recover, the soldiers who suddenly broke into the tent interrupted his train of thought with exclamations.

"you're awake!"

The soldier was so surprised that he turned around and disappeared behind the gate of the tent.And Li Muyun looked at the figure who turned and ran, and suddenly a burning pain surged from his chest.He lay flat on the couch, reaching out and pressing his chest tightly.

Hu...

The burning pain that almost suppressed his breathing surged from his chest all the way to his throat, causing hot tears to overflow from the corners of his eyes.

Li Muyun suppressed the grief in his heart. He frowned, closed his eyes, and subconsciously grabbed the quilt covering his body with both hands.The familiar texture between the palms made him suddenly stunned.

This quilt is made of silk...

He opened his eyes, and pulled up the quilt on his chest a little bit in a daze.

When he was in the Tang army camp in Tongguan, the quilt Lu Sheng provided him was still made of Gebu with fur, but the quilt here is made of silk, which is the kind of better workmanship.

Li Muyun couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.He lowered his head to look at his body again, it was better not to look at it, but it made the doubts in his heart deeper.

Li Muyun found out that the dirty clothes on his body had been replaced by someone.He is now wearing a white silk jacket, which is very similar to the one in Furui Pavilion, East City, Chang'an.Clothes of this quality are difficult for ordinary generals to wear...

Li Muyun couldn't help but gasped, and even his heartbeat accelerated a lot.

where is thisWho will do these things for him?

Could it be that someone moved the barracks back to Chang'an?

Or...the fact that he left Beijing without authorization was known by the emperor's grandfather, he...

Li Muyun's heart beat faster and faster, and not long after, the big blanket in front of the tent was lifted from the outside.Li Muyun only saw a small soldier shrank back, and behind that small soldier walking quickly was a middle-aged general with a majestic face but still alert.

The general was dressed in military uniform, with some dust stains on his face, as if he had just been withdrawn from the battlefield.When Li Muyun saw the person coming, his first reaction was to think that he was a general of the Tang army, but when he saw the unique patterns of the Northeast Army on the general's armor, his heart skipped a beat, and he realized that this was the barracks of the rebel army. He should also be the general of the rebel army.

"My lord, you are awake!"

The strange general hurried over with an unusually caring and enthusiastic attitude.

Li Muyun became more and more confused.He subconsciously cleared his throat, and was about to sit up, but was pushed back by the general who sat on the bed facing him.

"Hey——Your Majesty, don't move, your body is not well yet, so you have to be more careful."

"But...you are?"

Li Muyun was pushed back on the bed by those big hands.Looking at the owner of those hands, the doubts on Li Muyun's face only increased.Looking at the general's expression, it is obvious that he has no malice towards him, but this is a rebel general after all, as long as he doesn't bully the captives, how can he be so eager?For a moment, Li Muyun panicked. He stared closely at the general's eyes, trying to find some clues from the other's eyes, but the more he stared, the more he felt that the middle-aged general cared about him sincerely, even more than he did. Both Lu Kuang and his son will win by a little bit.

Thinking of the Lu family father and son, Li Muyun suddenly remembered the last scene where he was carried out of the carriage by Lu Sheng.

"Lu Sheng..." He couldn't help blurting out, "How is General Lu Kuang?"

"Don't worry, my son, I'll explain it to you in detail." The general didn't rush, he pulled a cushion and sat down beside Li Muyun's couch, his tone and demeanor also appeared to be very kind.

"My son, with you, let's not do the same things in the officialdom. My name is Cui Qianyou, and I am the general who attacked Tongguan this time. Now we have led our troops into Tongguan. The old general Ge Shu was imprisoned. You just asked Lu Kuang and his son Lu Sheng were killed in the battle two days ago. The Tang army was defeated in the battle of Tongguan, but I will do my best for you, so please don’t worry.”

Although this man's appearance is slovenly, as the commander of an army, even his face is dirty, but Li Muyun was attracted by his piercing black eyes.There was a shrewdness and vigilance in that gaze that was different from ordinary people, which Li Muyun had never seen in the generals of the Longyou faction.He didn't need to think about it carefully to know that the general in front of him was not someone like Lu Kuang who only knew how to fight hard in front of the battle.The look in this person's eyes made him suddenly think of a person, a person he was familiar with but very strange.His father, King Su Li Cong.

Cui Qianyou paused slightly as he spoke, he naturally knew that Li Muyun was full of suspicions now, and before Li Muyun could speak, he took up the conversation again.

"Cui was originally a general under General An's command. It was only because of the help of His Royal Highness Su Wang three years ago that he had the opportunity to come to where he is today. His Royal Highness Su is kind to me, so Cui will naturally take care of His Royal Highness's son. of."

Hearing the general in front of him utter the word "King Su", Li Muyun finally understood his current situation thoroughly.

King Su...heh...it seems that his father has betrayed him after all.

Although Li Muyun sighed in his heart, his body, which had been tense all this time, involuntarily relaxed.At least here, he no longer has to fear for his life.But when one thing on his mind was left behind, the sorrow in his heart became more and more intense.Soon, the sourness and depression filled the nostrils, no matter how he restrained himself, the sourness could not go away.

"Well... Cui, General Cui... thank you."

He suppressed the surging emotions in his chest, only the shadow of Lao Hu appeared in his mind.Seeing that tears were about to flow from his eyes, at this moment, he didn't even have time to think about the difference in position between himself as the defeated clan of the Tang Dynasty and this traitor.

"Hey—Your Majesty and I don't need to be polite, your father saved my life, and now I do these things for your Majesty, it's all right. As for the other things..." Cui Ganyou narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed at Li Muyun shook his hands several times.

"I will not disclose the news that the son is here, so the son has the right to recuperate in peace of mind. With me, you and I are just the sons of benefactors, and those who repay the benefactor. The affairs of the court have nothing to do with you and me."

Cui Qianyou was indeed a shrewd person, with a few casual words, he made the mutual positions of the two of them clear.After hearing his words, Li Muyun could only nod his head, unable to say a word.

"Heh... let's not talk about government affairs... okay."

Li Muyun couldn't help but draw a wry smile.If he didn't talk about it, he wouldn't talk about it. Anyway, if he really wanted to talk about it, he would be powerless to justify it.Now there is only one thing that he wants to confirm.That is King Su himself, did he turn against Tang?

Li Muyun looked at Cui Qianyou's unshaven and rough face, the words came to his lips, but for a while, he couldn't ask again.

Does it make sense to ask now?There is a high probability that his father has betrayed, even if he has not betrayed, the current situation, for his troubled son, there is no room for turning around.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad, he just felt that there was still a lot of emotions in his chest, which he would have to digest and deal with in the future.Not only Hu Jiuzhang's death was involved, but even Lu Sheng's death caused him to have his liver and intestines torn apart, and even his breathing felt oppressed.

Putting aside the position, if such a savior came a few days earlier, how good would it be?At least Lao Hu won't die tragically, and Lu Sheng...

Li Muyun didn't dare to think too much, he was even more afraid that he would suddenly cry in front of Cui Ganyou.

"General Cui...then my father..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Cui Qianyou's expression became serious.

"Hey... Your Highness, he...he is still in Liaodong. He has never participated in the raising of troops. I can be sure of this."

"he……"

Cui Qianyou seemed to have something to say but Li Muyun could hear it.Just thinking of his father's face that was almost blurred in his memory, and his two older brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his question choked on his lips again, unable to utter it.Li Muyun only felt that his mind was agitated, and if he thought about it a little more, he would have a splitting headache.He simply turned his eyes away and only looked towards the gate of the tent.

"Then how did General Cui know that I was in the army? In the chaos of the army... it is not easy to find out the identities of people one by one, right?"

When Li Muyun changed the topic, Cui Ganyou also accepted Li Muyun's words very naturally.

"Oh, this... the matter of the eldest son was said by Lu Kuang before his death." Cui Qianyou's tone was obviously much lighter.

"That guy Lu Kuang is a man of backbone. He led the troops all the way to the pass. Seeing his son dead, he rushed to fight with my infantry and was finally captured. I wanted to save his life, but how did I know that? The old man was very stubborn and would rather die than surrender, so I had no choice but to fulfill his determination to die for the country. He was afraid that he didn't know the relationship between me and the son, and when he was about to die, he reminded me that His Royal Highness King Su's son is just around the corner. He is in the army. He is probably afraid that I and you, my son, will be beheaded together in a daze. Hehe... this royal family member, beheading is not as good as being imprisoned. Of course, the son is another matter, as I said earlier , Between us, we don’t talk about political affairs.”

Cui Qianyou smiled and shook his hand, it seemed that he still had a lot to say and wanted to talk to Li Muyun in detail.But Li Muyun just sighed after hearing his words.

"Hey... General Lu, he..."

Li Muyun lowered his eyes and lamented for a long time before continuing, "General Cui said just now that the two generals of the Lu family died two days ago, which means...Two days have passed since Tongguan was defeated?"

"Oh, yes." Cui Qianyou grinned, but did not correct Li Muyun's statement.After all, in the battle of Tongguan, General Cui defeated the strong with the weak, wiped out 20 troops of the Tang army, and broke through Tongguan, but he won a complete victory.

"My department is currently taking a break in Tongguan to recruit soldiers from the Tang army. You can rest assured, apart from me, there will be no other person in this army who knows the identity of your son."

Cui Ganyou said casually, but Li Muyun suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Recruiting soldiers... General Cui, are you recruiting soldiers? Then... Tongguan, did you find a soldier named Hu Jiuzhang in Tongguan? His legs were amputated, maybe... maybe he had been dead for three or four days...but... ...I'm looking for him!"

As Li Muyun spoke, his tone gradually became hurried.To this day, even if it is the last glimmer of hope, he does not want to give up.He imagined that Hu Jiuzhang's mutilated body was forgotten in a corner of Tongguan, just thinking about it, tears welled up in his eyes, and even his voice was tinged with crying.

"He is my retainer, General Cui... Please, help me find him. Life or death, help me find him..."
