On a cold winter day, even if there is no wind or snow, no one wants to go out and suffer from the cold, so on the streets of the capital that have just bathed in the first rays of sunshine, pedestrians are sparse.
The northern section of the canal was frozen, so naturally it was impossible to take the waterway, so Ji Ling had to ask Bai Ling to reduce the weight of his luggage as much as possible, and then set off on a war horse with light shock absorption.
Now Wei Qi is the captain of the personal soldiers under Ji Ling, holding a spear in one hand, a reins in the other, a machete in the horse bag, and a bright chain mail on his body.
It's just that whenever he looks at the young master Ji Ling who is walking in front, he always feels a big difference in his heart: Is my big knife not long enough, or is the armor on my body not bright enough?
Why does it seem that there is no young master spirit?
The dozens of personal guards behind Wei Qi looked at him from time to time straightening his collar, and even occasionally touched the stubble that had just grown on his face, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Our captain is not very skilled, don't be smart, right?
Who knew that at this moment, Ji Ling, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped his horse very abnormally, turned back to Wei Qi and the others and ordered, "You go along this road first, I have something to do, and I will chase you directly in a while." ” These dozens of pro-soldiers are carefully selected, and they are more honest than the other, so they don't have so many fancy intestines, as soon as Ji Ling gave such an order, they obediently followed Wei Qi and continued to hurry.
After beating the horse and making a detour, Ji Ling saw Wei Qi and the others walking away, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked through the alley and walked down another path, and after a while, he came to the outer wall of the backyard of the Red Building.
Looking up, above is Li Liuer's boudoir, it was here a few years ago, the fork fell, forming an indissoluble bond, but where should this relationship go now?
After the end of the defense of the capital, he didn't come here again, not because he was too busy to take care of it, but because he didn't know how to continue to get along with Li Liuer.
This leaning on the Red Mansion shouldn't be where the heart is, what can be left between the two except carnal desire?
Ji Ling couldn't figure it out, so he could only dodge for the time being. still remembers the last time the two met, Li Liuer once subconsciously said when she was happy: My sister loves you, but there is not much she can give, you say......
You want a sister......
What to do......
Yes, Li Liuer doesn't know how to deal with herself, and she is about to marry Xu Yushan......
People, the more you get, the more you think, but whenever you encounter the word "love", things will eventually become complicated from simple, if you don't have true feelings for Li Liuer, how can you account for this more?
With a light sigh, Ji Ling took out a hairpin from his arms, which was specially made for her, and a small "Li" word was engraved on the crown belt, which he wanted to hand over to Li Liu'er a few days ago, but he didn't muster up the courage after all.
Holding the hairpin in his hand and looking at the window sash, Ji Ling couldn't help but feel a soft wave in his heart: I hope we are not just a passerby in each other's lives.
Raising his arm, the hairpin was impartial, and it happened to be inserted in the wooden frame of the window: Liu'er, when I return from the expedition, I will give you an explanation!
"Drive!"
Ji Ling raised his long whip and drove the war horse to gallop, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the path paved with stone bricks.
The morning light spread across the sky, sprinkled on the Xiao Xiao falling wood on the side of the street, and the wind blew the thoughts into the cracks, so the window was opened and closed again, and in the meantime a soft wattle with an emerald green bracelet stretched out, and the hairpin was gone, and there was no sound......
Five thousand soldiers and horses left the camp, and counting the baggage team, it was quite a big move, and when Ji Ling arrived with his personal guards, those people were already waiting respectfully outside the city.
As soon as Cao Jixiang, the overseer standing at the front, saw Ji Ling, he immediately covered his mouth and let out a giggle, "Yo, the main thing is here, Dong Dudu, hurry up and come over to see you!"
” As soon as Cao Jixiang said this, Dong Xing, who was next to him, immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Ji Ling with a smile.
In addition, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao praised him to Zhu Qiyu, saying that Dong Xing had contributed a lot to the expedition of Deng Mao Qi before, so this time he was appointed as Ji Ling's deputy general by Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Because of Dong Xing's beating of Cheng Lin last time, Ji Ling felt that he was a little vulgar and rude, but now that they have to work together, Ji Ling is not good at giving him face, so he also showed some smiles, "Dong Dudu came early!"
” "Not long after I arrived, I was waiting for Uncle Zhongyong to come!"
Dong Xing bowed respectfully to Ji Ling, and then stretched his hand forward, "Uncle Zhongyong, do you have anything to teach you?"
” "No need......
Ji Ling immediately stepped forward and waved the whip in his hand, "Hurry up and march at dawn, it is a moment to arrive early, otherwise you will not want to move in the cold day at night!"
” After Ji Ling said that, he waved his hand at Wei Qiyi, and Wei Qi rushed to the front knowingly, raising his right arm and signaling everyone to assemble in line.
Who knew that at this moment, a slow-moving carriage suddenly stopped not far away, and then saw a person poking his head out of the carriage and beckoning to Ji Ling, "Uncle Zhongyong, you are scheduled to leave today?"
” Ji Ling fixed his eyes and saw that it was Cheng Lin who was slapped by Dong Xing that day, so he smiled and rode to his car, "What is Lord Cheng going to do?"
” "I just received the appointment a few days ago, Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Wang Daren of the Metropolitan Procuratorate promoted me to the imperial history of the right capital, and asked me to go to Lingnan to appease those displaced people who were in rebellion."
As soon as Cheng Lin said that, Ji Ling immediately understood, it turned out that the imperial court had given Cheng Lin the task of appeasing Huang Xiao and raising trouble, it seemed that he was very important!
But what Ji Ling didn't know was that the reason why Yu Qian gave this task to Cheng Lin was largely because during the defense of the capital, Cheng Lin righteously rejected Dong Xing's request to enter the city.
Yu Qian is really accurate in looking at people, he knows what kind of things should be done by what kind of people, sometimes people are too shrewd, and they can't do anything.
"In this way, congratulations to Lord Cheng on his promotion!"
Ji Ling smiled and arched his hand towards Cheng Lin, "If it's convenient, let's be a companion on the road?"
” "This ......
Can it really be?
Cheng Lin looked at Dong Xing not far away with some embarrassment, "I'm just afraid that I will delay the march of Zhongyongbo." ” "It's okay, the baggage team is not going fast!"
Ji Ling smiled and snapped his fingers at Cheng Lin, "So it's decided, and you can also chat on the road!"
”
