bamboo horse prince

It has been many days since Yang Nian submitted the case to Dali Temple, and Zhao San has already been transferred to Dali Temple, but this case seems to have disappeared, and no one has mentioned it again.

Yang Nian was worried, as soon as the time passed, he left the Jingzhou Mansion early, wanting to go home first and wait for Yang Shao.

"Where's the master?" Yang Nian asked the servant when he entered the door.

"I'm discussing matters with the county prince in the inner hall."

"Your Majesty?"

Yang Nian quickly walked into the inner hall, seeing Yang Shao and Li Sheng chatting happily, he immediately leaned over, "What are you talking about?"

"Presumptuous, even seeing the county prince." Yang Shao blamed him.

"No need, I can't bear his courtesy." Li Sheng waved his hand, "Did you just come back from Jingzhou Mansion?"

Yang Shao winked and asked Yang Nian to sit next to him, "Looking at the time, I thought he was going to eat something on the way back."

"I'm not that greedy, what are you talking about?"

"I applied with the county prince to take you to the frontier."

Yang Nian stood up, "What?"

"Why, when the prince of the county was younger than you when he went to the front line, why are you surprised?" Yang Shao raised his head, "Besides, the emperor has already given instructions, and you can go with the prince when the prince of the county leaves."

"The prime minister wants me to take good care of you," Li Sheng smiled, "No matter how hard it is in the army, I will let people give you the best food and clothing."

"No need, no matter how difficult it is, don't spoil him."

Watching the two of them singing together, Yang Nian was already furious, "You guys, are you just arranging me like this?"

"Don't you often ask me what are the interesting things in the military camp? Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Why don't you go and see for yourself?" Li Sheng deliberately provoked Yang Nian, but he didn't realize that Yang Nian was so cute when he was angry.

Yang Nian stared at him, and paused every word, "But, this, it's too hasty."

"What's the rush? I've already told your sister, and she agreed," Yang Shao continued, "On the third day of next month, you will go with the army, and I will find you the position of supervisor of the army, and you will be promoted to two ranks. It is the grace of the emperor."

"Is it that urgent?" Yang Nian rolled his eyes angrily, "My sister also agrees?"

"Nian'er," Yang Shao wanted to say something more, but it was hard for Li Sheng to say anything, so he sighed.

"Master Xiang, I think it's getting late, and there are still some matters to be dealt with in the army, so I have to leave first." Li Sheng stood up and saluted.

Yang Shao also stood up, saying that he wanted to keep Li Sheng for dinner.

After Li Sheng declined, he left. Before leaving, he looked at Yang Nian, a little worried.

"Kneel down!" Yang Shao snapped at Yang Nian.

Filled with grievances, Yang Nian reluctantly knelt down.

"From now on, I will not allow you to be so willful in front of others. You are just a commoner, and you should always pay attention to your words and deeds, you know?"

"My child knows it's wrong, but I don't understand why my father sent me to the frontier."

Yang Shao stretched out his hand, stroking Yang Nian's shoulder, "Nian'er, you are getting older, the father just wants you to hone it."

"I know that although there is no news from Dali Temple and the case is being suppressed, you are still afraid that one day it will be revealed and I will be implicated." Yang Nian raised his head, "Father, I am afraid of being implicated. I will share with you." Misfortune, I don't want to be like Li Sheng, who was sent out foolishly back then, and when he came back, he couldn't even see the last side of the former empress."

Tears welled up in Yang Shao's eyes, "Silly son, but the former empress forced Chengyun to take the county king away. You have never been a parent, so you don't know our intentions."

"father!"

"Go down, Yao'er should have prepared dinner." Yang Shao turned around, stopped looking at Yang Nian, and walked into his study.

……

Yang Nian didn't care about practicing, and his horse gait was unsteady, and he was tripped by Ren Xiaoxiao several times, and he didn't speak, just got up to do it again.

"Stop it, I don't think you have much energy today." Ren Xiaoxiao sat on the chair, "Is it because of going to the border?"

"Are you going too?"

"Well, I went with my rank this time, and I can finally go to the battlefield."

"Are there many people your age in the army?"

"It's not that many. Children from normal families enlist in the army at [-]. Those of our age are all children of sergeants. They were born in camps and grew up on the battlefield. They can lead troops when they are fifteen or sixteen," Ren Xiaoxiao Speaking of these proud faces, "People outside who don't understand often say that generals are hereditary or something, but how can ordinary people have such experience as us."

Yang Nian recalled that Li Sheng was only 12 years old when he was brought to the battlefield, and he didn't know what kind of suffering he had endured to transform from that weak little idiot back then into the resolute and forbearing county prince he is today.

"Don't worry, the supervising army is usually in the tent, and someone will protect you," Ren Xiaoxiao was worried that Yang Nian was afraid, so she comforted her, "I was like this when I was a child. When they were fighting, I hid with my mother." In the camp, but it might as well be..."

"But you will protect me." Yang Nian was afraid that she would remember something sad, so he immediately received it.

Ren Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, "Yes."

"It's not that I'm afraid that no one will protect me. After all, I can't waste the kung fu that my master taught me. I have to go to battle and kill him anyway."

"Just relying on you, I haven't killed anyone yet!"

"Hey, you look down on me, master, you came just in time, you can see how well I practice this style, I can be a little commander on the battlefield." Yang Nian saw Ren Mian walking over, asked with a smile.

"You have mastered the exercises I taught you, so you can save your life," Ren Mian said with a smile, "It takes a few years of practice to kill the enemy."

"It's okay, I'm very talented, it won't take that long."

"Big words." Ren Xiaoxiao made a grimace at Yang Nian, "Remember to bring more snacks made by your maid, you won't see such exquisite food over there."

"Needless to say, my Yao'er prepares dry food for me day and night, making it while crying."

"Yang Nian, you are so real," Ren Mian laughed at his indecency, "It reminds me of an old friend."

"Ok?"

"Daddy still has such a vicious old friend?"

"Yes, there is also such an old man who will hurt my daughter's heart. He was our military adviser at that time. Mr. Yang should be familiar with him, right?"

"My father never mentioned such a person to me."

"That's natural. At that time, how could the big girls in the army like us? They only circled around the military division alone, and so did your mother." Ren Mian nodded Ren Xiaoxiao's forehead, "But the military division also It's really amazing, he burned the food and grass of three battalions of Liang Guobing without using a single soldier, and that was the first time that the two armies did not fight for a year."

"So powerful?" Yang Nian was fascinated by what he heard, "But there really is such a god, shouldn't he have been reused long ago to become a Marquis?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the emperor of Liang State would risk his life and rob the military advisor to Liang State. After that, there was no news of the military advisor. We captured many prisoners of Liang State, but we couldn't ask the military advisor. The whereabouts of him, I think it may be unbearable to be humiliated, and he died for the country with his own body."

Yang Nian sighed, sighing that heaven is jealous of talents.

"Yang Nian, your talent is not on the horse, but in the camp. I hope you will be able to strategize in the future and not let the soldiers die in vain."

Yang Nian didn't expect Ren Mian to think so highly of himself, he was very moved, "Master, if there is a need for me, I will try my best, but Marshal Song will look down on a young scholar like me."

"Don't think so. The marshal knows people well. As long as you have real skills, you will never bury your talent."

"Yang Nian, you have to have confidence in yourself." Ren Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of encouragement.

Ren Mian added, "Master Xiang has personally experienced the war, but he is willing to send you to the front line. He must have great expectations of you and wants you to do something. You must not let him down."

When Yang Nian heard this, his throat felt bitter, and he nodded.
