please come back

Xia Heyu turned his head and looked forward. At a certain moment, he felt that his brain was not working well. Only the wind in early autumn could wake him up, so regardless of his horse's injury, he still rushed to throw Zhang Ling away. Far.

Xia Heyu stopped when he reached Nomura, which was far away from the capital, turned over and dragged Jiang Linyuan off his horse, and stood there waiting for Zhang Ling.

Jiang Linyuan turned around behind the horse, patted the horse lightly, and at the same time raised his hand to pull out the arrow from its body.The horse didn't move, but snorted twice in pain.Xia Heyu stroked the horse's chest to comfort him, while Jiang Linyuan tore off a piece of cloth from his body, and wiped its wound carefully.

The two remained silent, just waiting for the sound of a horse's hooves to approach.

After half a stick of incense, Zhang Ling followed up from behind, got off his horse, walked up to Jiang Linyuan and asked tentatively, "Master Jiang?"

Jiang Linyuan nodded, raised his hand to tie his messy hair behind his head, and said with a smile, "Vice General Zhang, I didn't expect to see you again."

Zhang Ling put his hand on the back of his head and smirked. He glanced at Xia Heyu, only to find that he was just staring at his horse and kept stroking it.

The way back was no longer in such a hurry, but because Xia Heyu's horse was injured, Jiang Linyuan rode with Zhang Ling.Along the way, apart from Zhang Ling's occasional jokes, there was nothing else to say.After more than ten days, he finally returned to Wanzhou City.It happened that Xia Heyu's father also arrived in Wanzhou two days ago, and Bu Chengsi came forward to make arrangements.

After Xia Heyu arrived in Wanzhou City, he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he went to his father's residence in a hurry.Jiang Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Xia Heyu's father's name was Xia Jing, and he was a man who had followed the Communist Party to expand the territory and made great military exploits.Because Xia Jing has spent most of his life fighting on the battlefield, Xia Jing is very open to many things, so even though he is over sixty years old, he still has such a trace of a young hero's character and a free and easy demeanor, which makes people admire him .

When Xia Heyu saw his father Xia Jing, he knelt down and said, "The child is not filial, and the father is troubled."

Looking at his son, Xia Jing didn't mean to blame him, but walked over, pressed his shoulder comfortingly, caught sight of Jiang Linyuan standing outside the door, and said to Xia Heyu, "Yu'er, you go first, I will I need to chat with this young man outside."

Xia Heyu, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his face and looked at his father in surprise, but he also knew that Jiang Linyuan had saved his father, so his father also had something to say to Jiang Linyuan, so Xia Heyu got up obediently, turned around and passed Jiang Linyuan outside the door gone.

Jiang Linyuan stood at the door without moving, with his head lowered, leaving only one forehead for Xia Jing to see.

"My lord, would you like to come in and talk?" Xia Jing walked to the door and said to Jiang Linyuan.

Jiang Linyuan was bored, and it took him a while to step over the threshold, but he just stood by the door and stopped walking in.

Xia Jing saw that he was so alienated, with smile lines on his face, he pulled Jiang Linyuan across Jiang Linyuan like an old friend, brought him to the table and sat down, and said: "Young master, you don't have to be so restrained. I have heard a lot of stories, and I guess, the young master is called Jiang Linyuan."

Jiang Linyuan raised his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Exactly."

"Then Mr. Jiang." Xia Jing continued, "This old man owes you a big favor. You tied me up and sent me out of the prison that night. You are considered brave and resourceful. This old man admires you."

"Old General Xia is ridiculous." Jiang Linyuan bit his lower lip, his voice was vague, "Actually, if it wasn't for me, Old General Xia would not have been imprisoned."

"Hahahaha." Xia Jing clapped his palms and smiled, "Master Jiang, as you can see, the Xia family will be suppressed sooner or later, so don't blame yourself, I should thank you for pushing Yu'er to the battlefield instead of the officialdom. His temper doesn't go well in officialdom."

When Jiang Linyuan first met Xia Jing, he just felt that Xia Jing had the demeanor of a general, even in prison.And after hearing what he said, he felt that Xia Jing was more open-minded, which made Jiang Linyuan a little more admired.

However, after these few words, Xia Jing changed his attitude a little, and said in an old man's tone of exhortation to his younger generation: "Master Jiang, I can see that Yu'er wants to keep you by his side as a helper, but this old man has a word I really want to tell you to listen, don't do things too badly, you must leave a way out for yourself."

Jiang Linyuan listened and nodded deeply, even though he was a little puzzled, he still said: "Don't worry, General Xia, I will remember."

"Don't be annoyed by the old man, you just use the old man's words as a reference, and you don't need to tell Yu'er, the rest of the road is still for you to go on your own." Xia Jing continued.

Jiang Linyuan raised his buried face and smiled at Xia Jing. The air flow between the two moved slightly, and the floating dust drifted. The place where their eyes met was as familiar as an old friend.

Coming out of Xia Jing's place, Jiang Linyuan was still reminiscing about some of his words, but stopped in the yard in a daze. He didn't know where he should go next. He was not familiar with Wanzhou City, and Xia Heyu didn't tell him that he should live. Well, Jiang Linyuan fell into a rare confusion.

Logically speaking, here, Jiang Linyuan could be regarded as a complete outsider, with an embarrassing position.He was neither Xia Heyu's soldier, nor Xia Heyu's relatives or servants. He even said that he had harmed Xia Heyu once, and he should not have lived to this day.

Thinking about it, Jiang Linyuan lowered his head and looked at the stone slab under his feet, and saw a small group of ants crawling along the grain of the stone slab carrying some fine grains and a few bugs. Jiang Linyuan decided to follow them, to where No matter what, it's better to just stand stupidly in the yard.It's just that this team of ants crawled so slowly, Jiang Linyuan had to wait for them with his head down for a long time when he took a step forward.

"You're such an adult, yet you still play with ants. Jiang Linyuan, you've been knocked out of your head these two days, right?"

An impatient voice sounded from behind Jiang Linyuan, and Jiang Linyuan swallowed his saliva before noticing that there was a shadow at his feet. He turned his head resentfully, and saw Xia Heyu crossing his arms, staring at him with disgust on his face. with him.

"Hey, General Xia, what a coincidence." Jiang Linyuan said calmly.

"What are you doing here? Don't tell me that you are here to count ants." Xia Heyu asked coldly.

Jiang Linyuan was a little depressed, and said in a soft tone: "No, I just don't know where I should go for a while, the general will give me a place to live, whether it's a cellar or a dark room, I don't choose."

Hearing what Jiang Linyuan said, Xia Heyu lowered his arms, the coldness in his eyes lessened a bit, and said, "You are such a troublesome person, come with me." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Jiang Linyuan looked at Xia Heyu's back and pouted, and looked down to see that the ants on the ground had already crawled back to the ant hole by the wall.Jiang Linyuan also quickly followed Xia Heyu, but always kept a distance of three steps.
