Rebirth of Tao Yao

Just like what the sergeant said, more than a month after the end of the previous battle, the court's reward finally came-although the Hu soldiers entered the city this time, and even passed through the border city and went south for hundreds of miles, the final Hu Bing was almost completely wiped out, and the Hu people even brought in a prince. No matter how you look at it, it was considered a victory, so the necessary rewards for meritorious deeds are still required.

After the imperial envoy read out the imperial decree, he lifted Yan Qing himself up with a beaming face, and said politely: "Congratulations to General Yan for his promotion, and congratulations to the young general, the Yan family has a successor."

Yan Qing's face was still a little pale, and he still couldn't lift his right hand after re-bonding. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his injury hadn't healed, but after receiving the order, he stood up as neatly as ever.Just holding the bright yellow imperial decree, facing the beaming and congratulatory face of the imperial envoy who delivered the decree, General Yan couldn't help but smile.

Every time a battle ends, the leading general will send a memorial to the capital, and when he wins, he will add a list of meritorious service to it.This time, Yan Qing was naturally invited to make a contribution, but he had no intention of letting Yan Li set foot on the battlefield, so Yan Li was not mentioned in the memorandum at all!

However, when the imperial decree came down today, Yan Qing, as the main general, certainly received the first merit. His official position was promoted from the third-rank General Huaihua to the second-rank General Zhenbei, and Yan Li was awarded the award of a Ranger General!And even though this is just a fifth-rank official position as a general, as the first official position, the rank is not low...

From this point of view, the king of Yan said that he would ask for credit for Yan Li, he really did it, and he took the trouble to do it - if it wasn't for the trouble, the father of Yan Qing, the chief general, would not have mentioned a single line of credit in the memorial However, King Yan could not easily win such a reward for Yan Li.It's just that Yan Wang, who wanted to build a good relationship with the Yan family, did something bad this time with good intentions, which made the father and daughter who received the imperial edict really have a toothache.

General Yan really doesn't want to send his daughter to the battlefield at all, and he doesn't want to confirm Yan Li's manhood at all, okay?If Yan Li hadn't been appointed an official, whether she was a man or a woman would be a family matter of the Yan family, and it would only be a matter of one word if she wanted to restore her identity.But now it is different, with the imperial decree to appoint an official, if Yan Li's identity is exposed again, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!

Yan Qing complained enough about King Yan in his heart, but fortunately he was able to handle it on the face, but after a short moment of stiffness, he also politely greeted the imperial envoy with his usual expression.

After sending the person away, General Yan's face immediately collapsed, and looking at the imperial decree, it looked like a hot potato.

Yan Li also frowned, and took the initiative to help his father back to the main courtyard to rest, looking very considerate.The father and daughter got closer, so Yan Li lowered his voice and asked, "Father, what should we do now?"

General Yan turned his head and looked at her when he heard the words, but he didn't make up his mind for a while - bullying the king is a big pot that can't be memorized for no reason, so in Yan Qing's mind, the best solution is actually to present a secret now. Fold, and explain Yan Li's identity to the emperor clearly.It's not his fault that he asked for left and right, and he can't blame him for awarding the wrong person in the imperial decree. The emperor either dismissed the official position, or gritted his teeth and recognized the female general.

However, knowing in his heart that this is the best way to deal with it, Yan Qing is inexplicably hesitant.He looked at Yan Li, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he asked her: "What does A Li think?" After a pause, he said: "Do you want to be this general?"

Yan Li subconsciously shook her head, she was not stupid, she naturally knew the risk of accepting the reward.But after shaking her head, the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat, making her dumb for a while, before asking after a while: "If, if I don't want to be this general, what will father do?"

The words came out, but in fact Yan Li already had the answer in his heart.Is the imperial decree so easy to defy?The crime of resisting the decree and not obeying it is not at all lighter than the crime of deceiving the emperor.So Yan Qing couldn't refuse, the only thing he could do was to clarify the facts in the Shangzuo, and then let the emperor take back his order, or try to take back his official position, and calm down the matter calmly.

But in this way, Yan Li Bacheng will resume her female status, so what will she and Wen Ziran do?The relationship between the two of them has just improved recently, is it necessary to separate the secular world between them?Aunt Wen's family must not allow it!

At this moment, Yan Li's thoughts were almost written on his face, so Yan Qing could easily understand it.His heart was a bit complicated, and he couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and finally shook his head without saying anything.

****************************************************************************

After the imperial decree of reward came down, many officers in the border town were promoted or rewarded, and almost every family on the street where the general's mansion was located was beaming.Among them, the one with the most rewards is naturally the General's Mansion, but the one with the weirdest atmosphere is also the General's Mansion.

General Yan was promoted, and the little general became a general, but the two masters of the general's mansion seemed not happy at all.

After receiving the imperial decree, Yan Qing was escorted back to the yard by Yan Li to continue his cultivation, and Yan Li soon returned to his own yard with a worried look.There are many things that the father and daughter tacitly agree with each other, and they are equally undecided.

Time flies, the day passed, and night fell quickly.

Yan Qing knew that he had to make a decision today, otherwise he would appear hesitant if the time dragged on for too long, and if he sent a memorial to make a statement at that time, the emperor would definitely feel a little bit more grudge in his eyes.This is not a good thing, maybe it will be recorded, and when the time comes, I will give it away. In the end, I will lose my Sacred Heart or be accused of deceiving the emperor, but the gain will not be worth the loss.

Therefore, even though it was getting late, Yan Qing did not take a break. He sat in the study for a rare occasion, with a blank memorial laid out on the slightly lower table in front of him, with all the pen and ink ready.

"General, the little general is here." The voice of the soldier came from outside the study, breaking the silence in the room.

Yan Qing, who had been sitting in front of the desk for a long time, closed his eyes and meditated, finally opened his eyes when he heard the words, and said loudly, "Come in."

The door of the study was opened immediately, Yan Li walked in across the threshold alone, then turned around and closed the door again.Afterwards, she walked to the desk, her eyes inevitably stayed on the blank memorial for a moment, and then she called out: "Father."

Yan Qing's face was serious, and he gave a faint "hmm", and then asked, "Do you want it?"

Yan Li raised her eyes to look at her father, and lowered her eyes again. She showed a rare look of hesitation, and her handsome brows were tightly frowned: "Father, I...can I resign in a few years?"

Yan Li didn't dare to look at Yan Qing's expression when she said this, because she felt guilty.Although this is the best way she can think of, but the battlefield is ruthless, and the situation in the past few years also contains huge risks, which can affect the entire Yan family-this is a very selfish choice, but she After thinking a lot, apart from Wen Ziran's reasons, she actually couldn't accept the drastic changes in her circumstances.

Yan Qing, however, couldn't bear to see her appearance of Ai Ai this time, frowning, he said dissatisfiedly: "Raise your head!"

Yan Li raised her head subconsciously when she heard the words, and her eyes met Yan Qing's.Compared to Yan Li's hesitation and dodge, General Yan's gaze was as calm and firm as ever.Seeing him nodding his head, he let it go: "Since you have decided, then so be it." After saying this, he raised his eyebrows and muttered again: "It just happens to save me from dragging my hand to write the memorial. gone."

His posture was so casual that Yan Li was stunned all of a sudden, and asked in a daze, "Didn't daddy ask me why?" Then he pursed his lips and said, "If I accept the appointment as an official, it's considered a Let’s bully you.”

After hearing this, General Yan sneered, closed the blank note in front of him casually, looked sideways at Yan Li and said, "What are you afraid of, the left and right Yan family are just our father and son, even if things come to light one day, Dad is still afraid of being killed." Are you implicated?!" After hearing this, Yan Li's heart warmed up, but seeing Yan Qing's expression turned serious, he said again: "A Li, are you really willing to take such a risk for that Wen Ziran?"

This time, Yan Li's expression calmed down a lot, and he answered with a calm face: "It's not all for Ziran. Father, you should know my temperament. I don't like to be restrained, and I don't want to marry and have children trapped in the world one day. back house."

After saying this, Yan Li suddenly took a step back, knelt down in front of Yan Qing: "It's Ah Li who is unfilial, and I am too tired to take risks together. But today's talk has already been said here, and Ali also wants to ask Dad to help me. "Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "I have admired Ziran for a long time, and I also know that it is so unethical, but I still hope that Dad can fulfill what I want."

After Yan Qing listened to her words quietly, he took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead again, his face was complicated for a moment: "Ali, have you thought about it? This is not a joke, but it is related to the relationship between the two of you in your life. thing!"

Yan Li pursed her lips, and said the same sentence: "I also ask Father to complete it."

Yan Li has always known that her father is always tolerant and indulgent towards her, so she allows her to act recklessly as a man.But today is such a situation, she simply will be more self-willed and self-willed again - Aunt Wen's family has already mentioned the matter of marriage to her, and she herself really hopes to marry her sweetheart home, so that she can feel at ease .

Sure enough, under Yan Li's serious request, Yan Qing thought for a moment, then nodded: "Forget it, father doesn't expect you to pass on the incense, so I will accompany you for another ridiculous time. As long as the Wen family If the girl is willing to marry you, father will send people to come to propose marriage."

Tonight's father seems to be very talkative, and his frankness is beyond Yan Li's expectation, so many of her coquettish and showy words of determination are stillborn before she can utter them.At the same time, Yan Li inevitably showed a stupid look on his face, as if he didn't expect Yan Qinghui to agree to propose marriage just like that.

General Yan stared at the stupid Yan Li for a while, couldn't hold back his hand and patted her on the head, and said with disgust on his face: "Get up. Now that you have made a decision, let's go on and do it well. Don't let others down."

Yan Li stood up upon hearing this, and nodded solemnly at the same time, but her head was still a little dizzy.Then she heard her father say again: "In two months, it will be the time for me to go to Beijing to report on my duties. This time you have to return to Beijing with me, and it is also time to go back to the General's Mansion. It is better to make the marriage in advance, so as not to When it gets time, it attracts people's attention."
