The first favorite of rebirth

Pei Jiqing followed Jueyun back to Dingzhou, Lin He hurried out to meet them, he pulled Jueyun past him, and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"I can't help you easily." Jue Yun sat down and poured himself a glass of water.

When Lin He heard this, a slight disappointment appeared on his face. He thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, we are good brothers, and we won't make things difficult for you."

"But I didn't say I wouldn't help you." Jue Yun smiled lightly, showing two canine teeth, "It's just that we have to discuss it well, otherwise sending troops rashly will not be worth the gain. Not to mention General Xia, I won't agree."

"You guys, you've already learned how to speak bureaucratically." Although Lin He said so, his brows were brimming with joy, and he stretched out his hand to wrap around Jue Yun's shoulders. The two of them smiled and sat together and lit candles. He opened the map and asked Lin He some questions carefully. The two discussed very seriously and argued from time to time.

Pei Jiqing looked at it for a while, and felt a little hungry, so he retreated to the kitchen, intending to make some supper for the two children. He steamed three bowls of custard, chopped the air-dried meat brought by the herdsmen, and put the shallots in it. Finely chopped and sprinkled evenly on top, this bowl of light yellow and tender green looks sweet.

Sitting in front of the stove, Pei Jiqing ate the egg custard with a small white porcelain spoon, and then stared at the empty bowl: Although the taste of this shallot is similar to that of green onion, it is a special product of the grassland after all, and it has a unique flavor when eaten with beef and mutton , There are too many fur businesses now, if these less expensive specialties are transported to the Central Plains, maybe they will be popular instead.

Pei Jiqing pushed the door and went in. Jue Yun still pulled Lin He to write and draw. Both of them were standing. Only then did Pei Jiqing realize that Jue Yun was already taller than Lin He who was two years older than him. Tall and straight, especially good-looking legs and shoulders.

"Wow, there's something to eat." Jue Yun turned around, took the custard, and immediately started eating without hesitation.

"Eat and rest early, don't stay up late like this." Pei Jiqing brushed his drooping hair behind his ears, "The battle plan can't be made overnight."

"No, I'll do it tomorrow, I'll forget about it." After eating the egg custard, Jue Yun sat down again rubbing his belly, picked up a pen and continued to write and draw. Those special signs on the map, he fell asleep while lying on the table looking at the candles.

When Pei Jiqing woke up the next day, she found that she was already lying on the bed. Lin He had made a bed on the floor and was nestling in a corner, while Jue Yun had already woken up and was sitting in the yard washing her hair in cloaked clothes. Pei Jiqing didn't call him , I got up and took the thick plan on the table, I couldn't help being a little surprised.

One night, Jueyun actually drew the rough map into fine parts, and marked each terrain, and drew stars in places where the terrain was unclear. This map spread all the way to Liuzhou, which was occupied by the Liao Kingdom. And Liangzhou and other places, I think Lin He was also helping him, so he drew such a detailed picture.

Lin He is the prince of the Liao Kingdom, and he also bears the responsibility for this country. Countries must fight for every inch of land. Lin He marked all these cities clearly. For him, it is to attract the eldest prince, but for the Liao Kingdom, It is tantamount to surrendering several cities.

"Little Xianggong?" Lin He got up, looked at Pei Jiqing and said, "What are you staring at at the map? What I drew is real."

"I know." Pei Jiqing nodded, and said: "You trust Duel Yun very much, but the third prince, the Liao Kingdom has been competing in the Central Plains, and you hand over several cities to others, which means killing the eldest prince. If the lord knows the truth , how can I tolerate you."

"These cities originally belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty. In fact, the situation in the Liao Kingdom has been chaotic these years, and it is not as good as before. If General Xia hadn't been cautious, these cities could still be taken down." Lin He said: "If I ask you to decide Yun, you will be relatively restrained instead, don't worry, this is not a conspiracy, I have already told Duel Yun."

Pei Jiqing lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, Jue Yun came in from the outside while wiping his hair, Lin He continued: "Actually, the Liao Kingdom is militaristic, and the common people have complained for a long time, but our large area of ​​land is outside the Mobei Great Wall, it's really not good. It is suitable for farming and living in peace. If I become the lord of the country, I can ensure the stability of Dazhou and Liao Kingdom forever, open the horse market, exchange what is needed, and never fight."

Pei Jiqing helped Jueyun put on his official uniform, and followed him to Jinzhou. Although Lin He was a little timid, but to show his sincerity, he still followed them. In the general's mansion, Xia Chengxi carefully read Jueyun's battle plan Marked with the map, he looked at Jue Yun in surprise.The two planned to attack the city in the name of recovering the old land from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Lin He led Xiao Yi to attack the city first, and then raised troops in the name of revenge. old ministry.

Xia Chengxi raised his eyes to look at Lin He, and said: "This plan is well done, but Xiao Yi only has [-] soldiers and horses, if it can be accomplished..."

"If it can be done, it is counted on you. If I, Yeluhelin, become the lord of the country, I can keep Dazhou and Liao on good terms forever." Lin He took out a dagger and put it on the table, saying: "Liangzhou and Liao Liuzhou is the old land of the Great Zhou, if you want to take it back, I can also promise that I will never add troops."

Liuzhou Liangzhou was originally Xia Chengxi's heart disease. The plan this time is to capture these cities and lure the eldest prince out here, which is equivalent to Lin He exchanging the country for the throne. Although he doesn't know these brothers However, they also felt that this was a rare opportunity, so they hurriedly drew up a memorial, saying that the third prince of Liao Kingdom was hunted down, and he personally led troops to ask for help, so he could take this opportunity to seize the border city.

Although there were voices of doubt in the imperial court, this matter was too tempting. Even though Fu Congjin had been cautious for many years, he still agreed with a pen and ordered Zhenbei General Xia Chengxi to stay in Jinzhou to take a look at the overall situation. Xiasheng Jueyun defended Dingzhou and went out with the army.

This memorial was written by Pei Jiqing, who knew Fu Congjin's mentality and habits very well, and deliberately used Xiao Wansheng's tone to imply that Jueyun was young and accomplished, and he was a brave and resourceful foreigner, so that Fu Congjin could look at it and reuse it.Fu Congjin is ruthless, and his employers like people who are good for control. Xia Chengxi has been guarding northern Xinjiang for many years, but he has never made a clear statement. At this moment, it is imperative for him to cultivate a person of his own to be stationed in northern Xinjiang.

As soon as the edict arrived, Xia Chengxi arranged for soldiers to be ordered. Xiao Wansheng held the imperial edict and ordered [-] elite soldiers to follow in the school grounds. The soldiers stood neatly in one place. A hundred years ago, the cowardice of the previous dynasty caused the great mountains and rivers to fall into the hands of foreign races. The emperor's order is here, and I, Pingnan Marquis Xiao Wansheng, also swear here, to wrap the corpse in horse leather, to carry the coffin to fight to the death, not to take back the border towns, and vow not to return to the court!"

This speech was recited sonorously and powerfully, and all the officers and men were excited. Amidst the thunderous sound of horns and drums, Xiao Wansheng turned his head and said: "Mom, what kind of shit is written by a bitch, isn't this cursing me to death!"

Jue Yun shot him a gouged look, and when Xiao Wansheng turned his head, he returned to his original expression of resigning himself to death.

Xia Chengxi pulled Jue Yun over, shook off a silver-edged cloak embroidered with dark patterns, and tied it outside the armor for him himself, then looked back at Lin He, and said, "Third Prince, this time I treat you Full trust, you have to treat Jue Yun as a brother."

Lin He also changed into a military uniform, his long hair was tightly tied behind his head, his pair of eyes that looked like knives and axes had faded away from childhood, and the light of tigers and wolves could be faintly seen in the increasingly narrow and elongated silhouette. To Jueyun, he said to Xia Chengxi: "The Empress Dowager, I, Yeluhelin, borrowed troops from Dazhou to kill the traitor Yeluhetu. This is a dagger that we have passed down from generation to generation. Today, I will hand it over to Jueyun. , if I break my oath, Jue Yun can use it to directly stab me to death."

Hearing this, Xia Chengxi also felt relieved, he personally led Yanyue and watched Jueyun straddle the white horse.Those who came to see him off were all officials, big and small, all standing on one side in official uniforms. The special envoy who came to deliver imperial decrees and military orders was particularly dazzling. He stood among the magistrates in his crimson official uniform, which made him stand out even more.

Pei Jiqing didn't have an official position, so naturally he couldn't come to the school to see him off, Jue Yun suddenly thought that if he could also wear such a crimson official uniform, his pale face would be much brighter.

Thinking this way, Jue Yun had followed Xiao Wansheng out of Jinzhou City. The herdsmen in Dingzhou heard that Jue Yun was leaving, and they also stood at the gate of the city to see him off. There were thousands of people in the sea. Jue Yun suddenly heard someone calling him, and he turned his head to look at him. , was seeing Tang Wei standing on the top of the wall waving, Pei Jiqing walked out from behind him, stepped on a short ladder and waved away, Jue Yun kept turning around and watching, until after several miles, he could no longer see the city wall of Jinzhou.

Pei Jiqing stared blankly into the distance, and he didn't climb down from the top until the whole team was gone. Tang Wei realized that his face was pale, so he reached out to help him, and said, "Your hands are so cold. ,what happened?"

"Scared." Pei Jiqing rubbed her chest and admitted, "Rong... no, I'm a little afraid of heights."

Tang Wei couldn't help smiling, and said, "You are afraid of heights and you still climb to the top, can't you see it standing on the city wall?"

"Standing on the city wall is also high, and climbing a ladder is also high. It's better to climb up." Pei Jiqing said as he supported the wall and went down the city wall, leading a horse by the hand.

This is already the second time for the child to go to war. He is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he will learn from Xiao Wansheng to form troops, fight in the shadow of swords, lights and swords, and use danger to earn a share of credit; every time the two are separated In every scene, Pei Jiqing would hesitate a bit, always feeling that he was the one who pushed the child he rescued with his own hands back into the bloody storm.

But the fact is like this, but even if Jueyun is a prince who grew up in the palace, he still has to face the court's struggle, the emperor's mind... No matter where he grows up, he is just the weak and the strong, if he wants to do great things, he must be like this Going forward in blood, you can't be afraid of a single step.

It was noon at this time, Xia Chengxi saw Pei Jiqing in a daze in front of the horse, so he said: "I'm afraid Jueyun will have to go for a long time, you might as well come back to Jinzhou, Dingzhou is not convenient for food and clothing."

"No, thank you General for your kindness." Although Jinzhou is much better, but for Pei Jiqing, Dingzhou is like a home, so Pei Jiqing rode a horse alone and marched along the pasture to Dingzhou. Jiqing learned how to ride a horse from Jueyun, and the bumps are not as uncomfortable as before, but Rong Luan is naturally afraid of heights, I'm afraid it will take some recuperation to change this problem.

"Pei Qi—"

Pei Jiqing raised his eyes to look at the grassland, and suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked around, but saw a boundless green. Almost jumped out.

The white horse was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of him with a neigh. Jue Yun grabbed his arm, turned his head and panted, "Uncle Pei, I..."

"You dead boy, who told you to run back!" Although Pei Jiqing cursed, her expression trembled, "Military orders are like mountains, don't you understand?"

"Of course I understand. They walk slowly, and I can catch up with this horse in no time." Jue Yun patted the white horse and said, "You are afraid of heights, and you probably won't be able to stand at the city gate for long. You don't need to see me off. Come on, when you become a high official, you will also stand at the school grounds to see me off!"

"It's unlucky to say goodbye." Pei Jiqing let go of Jueyun's hand cruelly, "This is not the time to be clingy, go back quickly."

"Oh, let's go back now."

Jue Yun grinned and reached out to rein in the reins.

"Jeyun..." Pei Jiqing gritted his teeth for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "I rescued you, and let you join the army with Xia Chengxi, it's dangerous and hard, have you..."

"I'm going to do this myself." Jue Yun turned his head and said, "Uncle Pei, you are afraid of heights while standing on the city wall, why do you need to climb the ladder?"

Before Pei Jiqing could speak, Jueyun led the horse forward slowly, and continued: "I'm afraid standing on the city wall, and I'm also afraid standing on the ladder. Anyway, I will be chased and killed, so I might as well go back. "

What the child said was reasonable and well-founded, but Pei Jiqing had nothing to say, Jue Yun raised his head and smiled and said: "Uncle Pei, you never say such things, what's the matter, you like me?"

Pei Jiqing suddenly felt that she was actually being molested by a child, so she couldn't help laughing and said angrily: "It's alright, alright, get out."

"You have to be careful, eat more and drink more water, wait for me to come back!"

Jue Yun yelled and added something, and galloped forward.
