"You lied to me."

When Yijing was cleaning the house, he suddenly heard a childish voice from outside the window, which sounded familiar to him. He opened the window and looked up. A ten-year-old boy was looking up at him from the window. It's blood.

Yijing was quite surprised, and hurriedly carried him into the house, and suddenly remembered that ten years ago, the child was too young to be held, but now he is so heavy, perhaps Xingcheng wants to hug him more than anyone else .

"Why did you get here, and you fell all over the place?" Yijing helped him to sit down, and turned around to go out to fetch water to wash him. Unexpectedly, Shuze stretched out his hand and tightly clutched his cuff, making it difficult to move. Yijing looked at him Eyes that were about to cry, she had to sit beside him, "What's wrong with you?"

"You lied to me." Shuze said and wanted to cry again, "I haven't slept for a few days, and I haven't waited for my father and mother!"

Yijing looked at him in a daze like a thunderbolt.

"You lied to me, my father and mother didn't come back at all, they won't come back again!" Shuze said "wow" and cried, "Just like the person who bled that day, unable to move , can't talk, so I can't come to see us anymore..."

"No, your father and mother are far away, they just can't see you temporarily..." Yijing knew that the lie would eventually be exposed, but he didn't know how to tell the truth.

Shuze shook off his hand fiercely: "When can I see them?"

"Not now," Yijing told him bluntly, "When you grow up, even if they can't come back, you can go find them yourself."

"I'm going to find them now." Shuze stood up and wanted to leave through the window, Yijing immediately stopped him.

"Not now, but a few years later," Yijing said, "You are only ten years old this year, and you can't leave others to take care of you. How can you travel thousands of miles away? If something happens to you halfway, you will never see yourself relatives."

"Is it okay after a few years? How many years?" Shuze wiped her cheeks with her muddy cuff.

Yijing shook his head, took the cloth towel from one side and wiped it again for him.

"Then it's up to you. Whether you're studying writing or martial arts, you have to be able to walk through mountains and rivers by yourself."

Shuze sniffed, stopped crying, looked up at Yijing and said, "I want to come to see you, but those sergeants in Taniguchi don't allow it at all. I just have to climb up the mountain by myself and searched a lot of places to see you."

Yijing patted his head, smiled wryly and said, "How long have you been looking for? Are you hungry?"

Unexpectedly, Shuze shook his head at him: "Tell me, did I hurt my father and mother? Every time I think about that man covered in blood...I can't sleep because of thinking about it..."

He doesn't seem to realize what is "life" and what is "death".

"It's not your fault." Yijing didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he had to let him stop thinking about these things, "Study hard every day and practice martial arts, have other thoughts, be lazy and play slippery, you don't know anything It's time to see them."

"Oh..." Shuze was easily fooled by him.

"I'm going to cook dinner, why don't you go back after eating?"

"Okay." When he said this, Shuze's stomach growled.

Yijing chuckled, and just as he was about to get up, his son actually knocked on the window and came in.

"Father! Shuze is gone!" Tingxue was still sweating profusely in this cold winter. If she hadn't seen Shuze, Yijing was even worried that he would dig his place three feet into the ground.

"You came out without telling your family?" Yijing reached out and knocked Shuze on the head, "You can't do this next time."

Shuze nodded with a sullen head.

Tingxue shook her head helplessly and sighed, stretched out her hand to Shuze and said, "Come back with me, your grandfather and grandmother are waiting for you at home."

"He's a little hungry, let him have dinner with me before going back."

Shuze shook her head and said, "I'd better go back first, and then stay for dinner. They are even more anxious."

Yijing blinked in surprise, but didn't stop him, letting Tingxue take him away.

When Chang Ming saw Xiao Shengya, he couldn't help being overjoyed.

"I haven't seen Qingzi for a long time, I really miss you!"

Xiao Shengya smiled and said: "Master Chengjing is worried that others will come and make it difficult for you to adapt, so he ordered me to take care of you. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, so it is difficult for you." She seemed to have noticed something, staring at Chang Ming The slightly protruding belly asked suspiciously: "You are..."

Chang Ming nodded, as a default.

"Then how can you be in this place!" Xiao Shengya was furious immediately, and asked Wang Xi who was on the side: "In that case, why not send him back to the Flower City where the Sifuluo clan is located? How to let him drift away?!"

Ye Ruoyun said coolly on the side: "You can't blame the young man, Jiang Yuan has his own reasons why he can't go back."

"Qingzi hasn't seen me for a long time, so don't worry about it for a while, why don't you go in and rest in the house, and talk about the rest slowly." Chang Ming rubbed his belly and smiled helplessly.

"It's true that Master Chengjing didn't even say anything?"

"Don't say it." Chang Ming shook his head resolutely, "Please also ask Qing Zi to greet Mr. Cheng Jing for me, and ask Wang Xi to stay here for the time being, in case something changes."

"It's clearly because I'm afraid that I'll tell my father about it." Wang Xi raised his head and gave Chang Ming a look, and then buried himself in practicing calligraphy.

Looking at the people in the room, Xiao Shengya was already speechless, so he could only rejoice that he had a child in his early years and was able to take care of Chang Ming. Thinking of this, he waved the people out of the room to clean up the house, chop firewood and light the fire ,prepare for dinner.

"Speaking of which, how many months?"

"It's been five months now." Chang Ming felt a little sleepy as he spoke, and couldn't open his eyes. "I'm always tired these days, and I just want to fall asleep from time to time."

Xiao Shengya helped him to the bed, and said: "People who are pregnant will always be like this, you go to sleep first, and I will wake you up when dinner is ready."

"Hmm..." Chang Ming grunted, agreeing.

"But there are other discomforts? Tell me as soon as possible."

"No, it's just sleepy." Chang Ming said honestly.

Xiao Shengya sighed softly, covered him with a quilt, and put down the bed curtain.

"I checked it out. Ningwu has spent a lot of money in the past few years. If things go on like this, the military expenditure will be very large, and it will increase the burden on the treasury. It is really inappropriate."

As soon as Lan Mo said this, the six battalion commanders in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what he was planning in his mind, Qin Zuoxi and Ouwen looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"The commander's intention is to reduce Ningwu sergeants?" Chu Guangliang asked first.

"I don't have that intention," Lan Mo said with a smile: "Ning Wuzhong is full of elite soldiers and strong generals, and they cannot be reduced. I just think about it. In recent years, there have been no wars, so whether the expenditure on war horses can be reduced, and there is no need for so many grooms. Little official."

Owen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and was picked up by him again.

Everyone knew what Lan Mo meant. After all, with more grooms and fewer petty officials, Ning Wu's military expenditure was a drop in the bucket, but he was the commander of the army, so he could find any excuses.

"Great Army Commander", Qin Zuoxi saluted and said: "I think it's inappropriate. In recent years, reckless civil strife has continued. It is still unknown who will die. Rough Riders?"

Lan Mo's expression changed.

The horror of the reckless iron cavalry is terrifying, if it weren't for the indestructibility of the deserted city, I am afraid that the Central Plains has long been the master of the reckless.

"I am the cavalry, and I have an army of Anwu, so don't worry."

Ou Wenqing hurriedly said: "But An Wu only has 1 horses, but Hu Mang is unpredictable. Did the commander forget that Hu Mang had a total of 3 cavalry back then, but sent [-] troops, and wiped out our Ning Wu army with [-] horses ..."

"At that time, there were only traitors in the army..." Lan Mo seemed to remember something.

"He only said that it was because there was a traitor in the army... He waved us off and we will discuss this matter again..." Owen was puzzled, "How did he give up so easily?"

When Yijing heard this, the broom in his hand stopped for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "You should know about the annihilation of Ningwu's 3-man army more than ten years ago, right?"

"Of course I know." Owen nodded.

"Then you also know that I acted as Ningwu Commander after that."

At that time, the government and the public were shocked, and it was impossible for Ou Wenqing not to know that Yijing was ordered by Su Shengyi to command the Ningwu army when he was only twenty.

"What does this mean?" Owen Qing immediately asked vigilantly: "Could it be that he wants to frame up that you secretly colluded with Su Shengyi and gave away [-] troops in order to become the commander of the army?"

These words are unbelievable. Even if Yijing was ambitious, he was only in his twenties at that time, and he was just getting involved in the officialdom.However, the entire army of 3 horses was annihilated back then, but Yijing was one of the few lucky survivors. It was heard that when he was carried out from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, he was already dying and covered in blood. …he survived.

Ou Wenqing might not be surprised if Yijing nodded his head and admitted that he was responsible for this matter.

Ke Yijing didn't nod, but said: "Leaving aside this matter, the person who betrayed Ning Wu and turned to Hu Mang is the fifth battalion commander...my battalion commander...he thinks highly of me, It can be said that there is a very close relationship, no one in the army knows that he and I are close friends."

"It's terrible..." Owen looked at Yijing dumbfounded, "What should I do?"

"Don't move, I will tell Master Gu." Yijing replied absent-mindedly.

After sending Qin Zuoxi away, he was thinking about something else.

At that time, the pain of broken muscles and bones still remained in his heart. After waking up, Su Shengyi told him that the military doctor had long been unwilling to rescue him, but Su Shengyi insisted on going his own way to save him. After that, Su Shengyi said that he would act as the commander of the army. Authority to rebuild Ningwu.

If someone else knew the details, he might not be able to escape the charge of colluding with Su Shengyi to overthrow Ning Wu.

He knew that Su Shengyi was willing to support him because he was a ghost, but right now a more terrifying thought emerged in his mind.

What can I say... Conspiracy...
