After rebirth, he quit the cinnabar mole

But the white horse passed through the gap, and it was fleeting. The name of Yuyan resounded across the border and became a myth.

Zhong Yanyu's soldiers showed amazing skills and won many battles. Within two years, the barbarians of Xixia and Xianbei were defeated steadily. They did not dare to be enemies with Da Song, and he was promoted to a military adviser.

Legend has it that not long after Zhong Yanyu parachuted in as a lieutenant general two years ago, the army was dissatisfied, but he showed his archery skills in the small battle of Hengling and killed thousands of Xixia general Ureno's elite soldiers. His propaganda was incompatible with him.

"A mere child! But you are still young! I have been in the battlefield for dozens of years, and I must cut off his head to avenge all the dead brothers!"

Ureno scolded each other across the two armies, thinking he couldn't kill Zhong Yanqing, and he couldn't kill a mere lieutenant?What's more, he is Deputy General Wen, who is simply a defenseless existence!

He even threatened to take Xiang Liang's head in one stop!Deter the Great Song army.

Zhong Yanyu listened to this man's vicious curse, and dared to scold him like a general, her eyes were cold.

He sang an empty city plan, using himself as a guide to lead the enemy to attack the city, and then wiped out tens of thousands of enemy soldiers and horses with a fire. Go out to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.

As he thought, the reinforcements turned around to save the capital.

Ureno was captured three times and three times, losing the face of the entire Xixia army. Zhong Yanyu used time to prove his wisdom and closeness to monsters, and almost every battle was calculated accurately, trampling the Xixia clan under his feet.

Yuyan became famous in the first battle of Xiangliang, and the Xixia executives hated him to death, and even surpassed Zhong Yanqing in the bounty for his capture. Not only them, but also the Xianbei barbarians who were defeated in the party battle also hated him to the bone.

The vigorous war ended with the surrender of Xixia and Xianbei. The jade banquet contributed a lot and created its own prestige at the border.

Inside the big tent, Zhong Chuxun frowned, looked at the imperial decree in his hand and said, "Now that the frontier has stabilized for the time being, the emperor summoned us to return to the imperial court."

He looked up at a group of generals here, and something he was worried about happened, "The emperor didn't mean to take back the military power for a day or two. All the generals, I'm afraid this trip back to Beijing will never return..."

The generals under the seat had different expressions, but Zhong Chuxun knew that there was Jing Guhan among them, and he looked at his little son worriedly.

Others tried to delay it, but the name of Yuyan was too prestige, which attracted Jing Guhan's attention, which is not a good thing.

I'm afraid that after returning to Beijing, Brother Yu still needs to attend the celebration banquet. What if Jing Guhan recognizes him at that time?

The generals at the bottom thought for a while, and the leader Zhou Chu clenched his fists and said, "We are all under Marshal Zhong. We don't understand these imperial power struggles. We only obey Marshal Zhong's orders, and we believe in Marshal Zhong's decision."

This is to hand over the decision-making power to Zhong Chuxun. Although they are military officers, they also know that the whole world is the king's land, and the land on the coast is the king's minister.

Even if it is a Hongmen banquet, they must attend the appointment.

Zhong Yanyu knew her father's worry, and said slowly, "Since the emperor asked our class teacher to return to court, he has his own intentions, let's go back for a walk."

The military power of the Zhong family is an unsolvable problem.Although he knew that the Zhong family was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, how could the king allow others to sleep soundly?

What can really defeat the Zhong family is never others' criticism, but Jing Guhan's suspicion of the Zhong family.

The matter was settled here, and all the generals had no objections, but the departure time and route were determined within a quarter of an hour.

Zhong Yanqing walked into his tent, and saw the beauty in white. The youth's facial features were the same as before, and the years favored him, and did not leave too many marks on his face.

He smiled, and stepped forward to hug him, "Why are you looking at the account book again? Why don't you leave these matters to the shopkeeper of Xuanhu City? It's late at night and the light is dark, so be careful to hurt your eyes."

Zhong Yanyu rolled his eyes at him, and pushed him slightly, "I've got someone to bring you hot water, go take a shower, you smell like sweat, don't come and hug me."

"You are my younger brother, how dare you despise me?!" Zhong Yanqing rubbed the cheek of this heartless little white cat, "You don't even know that you love your big brother——"

"Hmm... My heart hurts..." His cheeks were almost ruined!

Zhong Yanqing's stern face softened a lot, and he stopped teasing him. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and said, "I'll wash it first, take your time."

He added candles for better lighting.

Zhong Yanyu listened to the sound of water behind the curtain, and checked the account books in a calm manner. The reason why he handled it himself was because some account books were unknown, and the shopkeeper was always a slave. Cleaning up lazy slaves and other things was ultimately for the master to issue orders of.

The sound of water coming out, Zhong Yanqing simply put on some clothes and came out, "Still watching?"

With just one glance, he felt disinterested, but looked at Zhong Yanyu through the light.

His little brother's appearance is excellent, with delicate features and eyes, cool and resolute, before he was crowned, he was stepped through the threshold of Zhongfu by a matchmaker.

"Don't look at it yet, just tell me, Jing Guhan specially summoned us back, you must attend the cleansing banquet, and you can't wear a mask at that time, do you have a countermeasure?"

Zhong Yanqing withheld his account book, stared at him with those black eyes, and couldn't help whispering, "I thought about it, what do you think if you say you're sick and don't attend?"

Zhong Yanyu smiled, and nestled into the man's arms, "Brother has already thought about it for me, of course I won't object, if it wasn't for the imperial decree to see Yuyan, I wouldn't even want to go back."

Jing Guhan is a suspicious person, he can't reveal any flaws, he must firmly grasp his own destiny.

"But regarding the military power of the Zhong family, I don't know what father's plan is. We may have to discuss it with him one day." He was suspicious, and frowned slightly, his phoenix eyes glancing darkly.

Zhong Yanqing asked his father, "He said that this time he went back to discuss the Zhong family guarding the border. If Jing Guhan wants military power, it doesn't matter. The key is to protect you."

He rubbed the little white cat's paws, and said softly, "At that time, the three of us will be together as a family and defend the border for the country. Can you bear the bitter cold here?"

Zhong Yanyu smiled when he heard the words, and took his hand, "Brother, am I that kind of person who can't bear hardships? I can suffer whatever you and your father can suffer."

He always wanted the Zhong family to be safe and happy. If the tragedy of exile in his previous life was not still vivid in his mind, he would not have the heart to kill Jing Guhan.

Now that he can escape the man-eating den of the imperial palace, and enjoy both his family and the country, what is this little suffering?

He leaned against the man's chest and remained silent.

The evening breeze is cool and the leaves are flying. This year's winter has come very early.

In the imperial study room, the man was dressed in a dark robe, his figure was extremely tall, with a rhino horn belt around his waist, his face was condensed, and he tightly squeezed the ruby ​​ring on his hand.

"Where are Zhong Chuxun's soldiers now?" He asked.

Xu Pingye half-kneeled on the ground, "Return to Your Majesty, now we are passing through Xueyu Ridge, at this speed, I am afraid it will only take three days to return to the capital."

Jing Guhan's eyes darkened when he heard the words, "I heard that he has a cousin with him, calling for a jade banquet, resourceful and resourceful, let our eyeliner watch him carefully."

He sipped Heming's tea and turned the ring.

The military power cannot be left in the hands of others. Zhong Chuxun specially found his cousin to join the army, and put people from Zhong's family in the army, and tried his best to prevent him from seizing power.

What's more, the frontier has been set, so what is the use of the Zhong family?

But when his eyes touched the ruby ​​ring, his heart softened for a moment.

Zhong Yanyu, what should I do with you, what should I do with the Zhong family?

Obviously you are dead, but you still linger in his heart!Two years didn't seem like a long time, but his thoughts and regrets were brewed into poison. Every time he thought of him, his heart felt extremely bitter.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang is asking to see her outside. She said that the Empress Dowager made some chicken soup to nourish her body and asked her to bring it over." Suddenly, a eunuch hurried in.

Jing Guhan raised his eyes and glanced at him, "No, just ask someone to bring in the chicken soup."

Xu Chen who was behind heard the words, and couldn't help but glanced at the dark sky outside. The empress dowager's move was actually to let Concubine Jiang come over to serve her bed. Does the emperor not understand?

The queen has been gone for almost two years, but the emperor has never let anyone stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation... Could it be that the emperor has not come out yet?

His eyebrows jumped, and he didn't dare to think about it.

"Xu Chen, you send someone to clean the Qing Palace, and I will go to rest in a while." Jing Guhan corrected the memorial and said slowly.

Today is the fifteenth day, it should be the day when emperors and empresses take a bath——

Xu Chen didn't dare to say more, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Heavy snow has stained the world with frost, and the wind is biting.

"It's really cold." Zhong Yanyu shivered, he was afraid of the cold, and now he was still driving in the snow, his fingers were stiff.

"Brother, aren't you cold?" He nestled in the man's big fur cloak, hugged the man's warm body, and could only see the man's chin.

Because it was too cold, his fingers were so stiff that he couldn't pull the rein and steer the horse, so he rode the same horse with Zhong Yanqing. It was originally agreed that he would drive after a while.

But Zhong Yanqing's whole body was warm, he couldn't help nestling for a while, and almost fell asleep in his arms.

He shyly pulled the rein and wanted to drive the horse by himself, but was held down by the man.

"Just sit on the horse properly. Don't you know how your health is? If you catch a cold, you will suffer from the medicine for a few months." Zhong Yanqing cast a glance at his little brother.

He remembered the expression on the other side's face after drinking the medicine.

"Sit down obediently and don't make trouble."

Zhong Yanyu touched her nose when she heard the words, "Actually, my health is not that bad..."

"Then who had a cold last year and took medicine for two months and still not getting better? Coughing all day long?" Zhong Yanqing wrapped him tightly in a fur cloak, "Don't be brave, your elder brother is here to go back and forth. How many times, you just have to be good."

Seeing that his sweetheart was afraid of the cold, Zhou Chu on the side rolled his eyes and rode closer, "Why don't Yuyan ride a horse with me? I have rough skin and thick flesh, and my body temperature is high. My riding skills are not bad, and I won't bump to him."

Zhong Yanqing sneered when he heard the words, "General Zhou was joking, why does my cousin have the nerve to bother outsiders?"

Don't think he doesn't know, Zhou Chu just wants to pry his little brother away!Be courteous next to Yanyu all day long, but Yanyu resolutely refuses, this person is still pestering him endlessly!

"General Zhong, don't bother, we will be a family sooner or later, not to mention Yuyan called me brother." Zhou Chu didn't care about his cold face at all.

What face do you want to chase after your wife?He discovered the treasure of the Jade Banquet, but he decided to marry him back home.

"Don't bother Brother Zhou, I ride on my cousin's horse very well." Zhong Yanyu poked her head out of the fur coat and said.

He didn't want the two to clash.

"I will take good care of my cousin. General Zhou doesn't have to worry about it anymore." After he finished speaking, he hugged his younger brother tightly and drove away ahead of him. ?

Chapter 55 After watching him with others, I realized how disgusting jealousy is

The generals drove in full swing, and returned to the capital within a few days.

Zhong Yanyu put on a bamboo hat to cover up his figure, and when he got off his horse, he saw Liu Qing among the servants. The other party was dressed in the clothes of a servant. He had arranged for someone to go back to the capital earlier.

"Master Biao." After Liu Qing saluted, she immediately stepped forward to support him.

Zhong Chuxun led the men and horses, and directed the servants to bring the luggage in, "Let's go into the mansion, there are a lot of people outside."

In the capital, there are many eyeliners of Jing Guhan——

Zhong Yanyu naturally understood this truth, otherwise she wouldn't have covered her whole body tightly.

He lowered his eyes and followed his father into the mansion.

Lin Du also got the news that Zhong's family had come back, and almost immediately sent someone to deliver a post asking to see him.

"Brother, let him come in." Zhong Yanyu lowered his voice, pressing the post with his white fingers.

"Does Lin Du know that you are still there?" Zhong Yanqing looked up at him, and there were only two people in the room at this time.

Zhong Yanyu thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "He should just be skeptical, but the blueprint is still in his hand, and I want to get it back."

Hearing this, Zhong Yanqing had no choice but to agree to the person coming, and carefully warned: "The less people know about this matter, the better. You should also reduce your activities in the capital, and don't let the emperor's people see it."

Zhong Yanyu understood this truth, he took a sip of tea, his eyes were serious, "After a few days, I will go to the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to recuperate on the grounds of being unaccustomed to the environment, and then I can also use this as an excuse to avoid the dust-cleaning feast." .”

Zhong Yanqing nodded in agreement.

At this time, Zhong Chuxun also came to the study. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and asked directly, "What's the matter with Lin Du?"

Zhong Yanyu explained the matter to him, Zhong's father frowned slightly, and nodded, "That kid is a man with a strict tongue, and he won't talk nonsense in Jing Guhan's ear."

This is also the reason why Zhong Yanyu chose the opponent in the first place.

The snow is falling in the air, small balls, and like pear petals blown down, scattered.

All that Lin Du could see was that white figure, and the uneasiness he had been feeling for many days finally dissipated.

"Zhong..." He opened his mouth to call someone, but was interrupted by the boy who turned around.

"Young master Lin, I am now a cousin of the Zhong family, Yuyan." Zhong Yanyu was still wearing an iron mask, but Lin knew that he would never admit his mistake.

He waved back the servants around him, and took a step forward, "Master Yu? It just so happens that I have something to ask Mr. Zhong, do you know where he is?"

His eyes were fixed on the young man who looked like a bright moon and a breeze.

Zhong Yanyu slightly hooked his lips, "Mr. Lin, let's take a step to talk."

He led him to the study room, where only the two of them were left, and the other party hugged him almost immediately, "I knew you weren't dead!"

The man's chest was hot, Zhong Yanyu knew he was worried, but this move was too intimate, he pulled away calmly, and said with a sneer: "Senior brother Lin, you really understand me."

But Lin Du couldn't help thinking about it, and kissed the beautiful woman he was thinking about, "Junior Brother Zhong——"

"Senior Brother Lin..." Zhong Yanyu was shocked, and wanted to push him away, but Lin Du had practiced martial arts since childhood. Although he was not considered a strong martial artist, it was no problem to deal with his weak body.

"Junior Brother, I want to marry you after this time, can you agree?" Lin Du let go of his lips, but stared into his eyes, vowing for an answer.

"We've known each other since childhood, earlier than Jing Guhan. I've liked you for a long time, and I will definitely take good care of you." Lin Du pressed his shoulders tightly, and his black eyes were shining with paranoia.

"What Jing Guhan can't promise, I can do."

"Senior brother Lin! I respectfully call you senior brother, that means I really treat you as a senior brother!" Zhong Yanyu said word by word, while the other party was not paying attention, she pushed him away suddenly.

"Boom!" He also backed up and bumped into the coffee table, and the cup fell down and shattered.

The servant heard the movement and knocked on the door, "My lord, what happened inside? Do you want a slave?"

"Nothing, no entry!" Zhong Yanyu stood firm, avoiding Lin Du's support.

"Senior Brother Lin, although we are not related by blood, I have always regarded you as my senior brother from the beginning to the end. My elder brother has given you decent gifts and has never been short of you. I hope you will stop doing such things. Come on!"

He wiped away the traces on his red lips with a handkerchief, and looked up at Lin Du, feeling terrified in his heart, he had never seen this in his previous life!

In his previous life, Lin Du married the prostitute daughter of the servant of the Ministry of War, and he didn't think that Lin Du's parents would let him do whatever he wanted—

He didn't intend to destroy the trajectory of this previous life, so he naturally wanted to say clearly, "I never had any delusions about you, Senior Brother Lin, don't ruin our relationship."

Lin Du's eyes sank, "So what? Junior Brother Zhong, the control right now is not yours!"

He pressed on step by step, his eyes became sharper, and the former handsome man exposed his dark fangs.

"Tell me, if I keep you alive, hide Zhong Chuxun and tell Jing Guhan one by one, what will happen to you? What will happen to the Zhong family?!"

He is not a sage and gentleman, how can he escape the world, even if he threatens him, he doesn't want to miss the person he has loved for so long.

Zhong Yanyu leaned back against the coffee table when she heard the words, her phoenix eyes couldn't believe it, "Senior brother Lin, you are not such a person."

It was snowing heavily outside the window, but inside was the man's fiery and calm eyes.

"Junior Brother Zhong, then who do you think I am? Senior Brother Wen Run, a gentleman, or a saint without heart?!"

He pulled him back paranoidly, "At the Hundred Flowers Banquet that year, I was the one who invited you first. If Jing Guhan hadn't taken you away and met an assassin who blocked arrows for you, you wouldn't have chosen to marry His, right?"

There was thunder in his chest, and there was only calmness between his lips and teeth, but the increased force still exposed his restless heart.

"If it was me who was by your side back then, I could have done it for you. Don't we know each other longer than Jing Guhan?! Would you choose me?"

Zhong Yanyu looked stunned, and shook off his hand, "Senior Brother Lin, this is different!"

He turned his back and took a deep breath, "If you don't like it, you don't like it. No matter how hard you try, there will be no result."

Lin Du treated him very well as a senior brother. He didn't want the other party to go on the road of no return, and there was no need for the two families to turn against each other.

He turned around, gave him a weary look with his phoenix eyes, and persuaded him: "Brother Lin, if you dare to threaten me and the Zhong family with this, then what you will submit together with you is the evidence of corruption and bribery by the servant of the household department! "

Lin Du looked at him in astonishment, and Zhong Yanyu continued: "If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Mrs. Lin about how she connived at her natal cousin who forced several good girls from south of the Yangtze River to be concubines and killed dozens of people."

Lin Du looked panicked, and took a step back. He knew about this, but how could Yanyu know? !

His whole body was icy cold, but he looked at Zhong Yanyu indifferently.

"Senior brother Lin, I really don't want us to come to this stage of hostility..." The boy's tone was light but with warning.

He told the other party with extra seriousness, "We have no chance."

Lin Du lost his mind, feeling his heart was broken little by little, "I was thinking that there was a relationship that would come to my door if I didn't fight for it? I decided not to wait until I saw him with someone else, and then I won't give up. What a disgusting thing to find jealousy."

"But..." He looked at the boy with red eyes, and smiled wryly, "Junior Brother Zhong really doesn't leave me any hope!"

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, with the color of snow soaking in, Zhong Yanyu sent Lin Du away with an oiled paper umbrella.

"Why didn't you let me beat him up just now?" Zhong Yanqing put his arms around his arms, and he kept watching the other party bully his younger brother.

"Forget it, Lin Du is actually very good. After all, it's just fate." Zhong Yanyu was dressed in white, with a pale face.

In fact, even he couldn't answer Lin Du's question after more than ten years of friendship between teachers and brothers. If Lin Du blocked the arrow for him at that time...

He shook his head, not daring to think about it.

It's a foregone conclusion, it's no use thinking about it—

"Brother, let's go back, the snow is getting bigger and bigger."

The two helped them back to the room.

A few days later, as planned, Zhong Yanyu avoided the winter banquet on the pretext of the wind and cold, and went to Biezhuang.

Zhongfu is only five miles away from Beppu, there is heavy snow and freezing cold, the streets are sparsely populated, and at lunch time they hurried home and disappeared in the hazy mist.

Zhong Yanyu walked slowly in the snow curtain with a dazed expression. He remembered a promise he had made with Jing Guhan.

"Looking at Baixue, plum blossoms and I have two gray hairs." The old man only said softly with thin lips, but he actually thought about it all his life, and then ended up dead.

He stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes, but was held back by Liu Qing, "My lord, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house first."

She is afraid that the other party will think about others when they see things.

"Okay." The young man withdrew his hand in a daze.

In the Purple Jade Palace, Jing Guhan was restless, he looked at the intertwined lights in the palace, his eyes were dark and deep, and when others were swept away by his gaze, he felt a little scared in his heart.

"Marshal Zhong has returned from a great victory. What are your plans? If I remember well, Mr. Zhong is 67 now, right? It should be the age where children and grandchildren are around their knees and can take care of themselves." He drank a glass of sake, and his eyes fell on Zhong. On Chu Xun's body.

The hearts of all the officials at the welcome banquet thumped. Did the emperor start beating each other to hand over his military power so soon?

When Zhong Chuxun heard what he said, he put down his cup, thinking that this matter was still coming, "Your Majesty's words are very true. The old minister may be useless, but he also wants to do his best for Dasong."

"Really?" Jing Guhan's faint question aroused everyone's hearts.

Like a cunning lion, he firmly grasped the psychology of all the officials, "I remember that little general Zhong is not too young. Could it be that Marshal Zhong intends to let him inherit the mantle?"

Zhong Chuxun heard the words, and said with a smirk: "The emperor is joking, the most prestigious son of the old minister can't bear the responsibility of being in charge of the middle palace, and died young. The eldest son has always been stupid, how can he inherit the mantle of the old minister?" Woolen cloth?"

These words sounded like polite excuses, but they were full of resentment and anger.

The joyful banquet cooled down, and everyone below lowered their heads and moved slowly, trying to reduce their sense of presence.

Zhong Chuxun is really bold!

The former empress had long been a forbidden word in the palace, yet he dared to bring it up? !

The grave of the last historian who impeached the funeral of the late empress was three meters high!

Zhong Yanqing was still nodding his head, not denying but not avoiding, "Your Majesty, my father is right, I know that I am more stupid and incompetent than my younger brother, and I can't bear the responsibility."

It's over! It's over!

They have to pick an opportunity to leave earlier, but don't let Chi Yu get hurt by these two father and son!

The civil servant who knew the inside story was terrified, but the bright yellow figure in the high position swallowed a glass of strong wine.

Jing Guhan pursed his thin lips, and his eyes fell on Zhong Yanqing, who had a few shadows of Zhong Yanyu...?
