Chang'an [Rebirth]

When Chai Zheng woke up completely, her typhoid fever and injuries to her viscera were almost healed, but her head still hurt a little, as if she had been hit with a hammer.

There was only an old doctor reading a medical book in the tent. Chai Zheng somehow felt that this scene was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

She turned her back up slowly, thinking to herself, "I just fought a big victory, my parents must still have a lot of things to do, why didn't even Xiao Ruan come to see me... Is she busy too?"

As soon as he thought of Xiao Ruan, Chai Zheng inevitably recalled the enlightenment given by Que Linglong—Xiao Ruan in the red wedding dress stabbed him.

The ribs felt a bit painful for no reason. Just as Chai Zheng wanted to stretch out her hand to rub it, the old doctor suddenly threw an envelope, which she subconsciously caught.

There was nothing written on the envelope, but Chai Zheng's heart was shaking uncontrollably, and the old doctor said, "That Miss Ruan gave it to you."

"Little Ruan isn't in the barracks anymore?" Chai Zheng asked.

The old doctor shook his head, "Master Ruan returned to Beijing to report on his work a few days ago, and he seemed to say that he would not return to Liangjiang, so he took Ms. Ruan there too... Calculate the time, if it is soon, you will arrive in Chang'an City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Oh." Chai Zheng was stopped for a moment, unable to speak.

Bored, she lifted the envelope and shook it above her head. There was very little in the envelope. Chai Zheng guessed it was just a thin piece of paper. For some reason, Chai Zheng was a little angry.

"Little Ruan doesn't say goodbye to me face to face, what's the point of getting a piece of paper." Chai Zheng muttered, and opened the envelope in a polite manner.

The letter was indeed flimsy, with only a few words "Take Yaoyao to Mobei", without any mention of why he left, how long he left, and whether he would come back.

"..." Chai Zheng sat up startled from his dying illness, gritted his teeth and said, "Ruan Linshuang!"

Once a person has a head, he can recover quickly no matter what disease he suffers from. In addition, Chai Zheng's foundation is already good. In less than ten days, his legs and feet are already good, and he can jump up and down in the army.

Regarding the deeds of Chai Zheng, those who were released from Musang Prison probably haven’t spoken freely for a long time. When they caught their former colleagues, they described them vividly, especially the prestige of bombing the arsenal, which was exaggerated to five points. After ten minutes, rumors spread that there was even a saying that the main ship of Musang was destroyed by one's own strength...

If it wasn't for the main ship still waiting for repairs hundreds of miles away, even Chai Zheng would almost believe it.

The casualties in this battle were smaller than expected, and soon the commendation orders from above and the rewards of more than a dozen vehicles came down. With the imperial decree in his hand, Li Duan followed the bumps all the way, and vomited as soon as he arrived at the destination. Die alive.

The decrees between the Holy Majesty and the Duke of the State have always been handed down by Li Duan. Over the years, Li Duan has come and gone several times, but it is still difficult to adapt to the humid water vapor on the seashore. According to the rules, he will rest for half an hour before delivering the decree. , but today I don’t know why it’s quite hasty, and I’m going to find Chai Yuandao before I can calm down.

Chai Yuandao and Chai Zheng escaped by jumping into the sea together. The latter was tired and had typhoid fever and lay down for more than ten days. Chai Yuandao was luckier than Chai Zheng. Only one hand was broken, and it was a dislocation between the bones. Nothing happened in the next two or three days. When Li Duan looked for him, Chai Yuandao and Chai Zheng were squatting behind the reward vehicle, and the father and daughter muttered together, "When did Zhao Qian be so generous that the rewards were all delivered in a car? "

In Chai Zheng's memory, she defended the sixteen prefectures of Mobei during the most difficult period, and she only received the reward of thirty altars of imperial wine.

"Such generosity can't guarantee that there is no conspiracy," Chai Zheng knew Zhao Qian well, she pouted, "This batch of rewards brought Li Duan, maybe there is some shady trick in the edict."

"What are you talking about?" Chai Yuandao tilted the hilt of his sword and tapped Chai Zheng's head, "It's a big treason."

Chai Zheng "groaned and chirped" thinking, "I will be even more rebellious, dad, you have to be mentally prepared."

The facts are exactly as Chai Zheng expected, and the imperial decree brought by Li Duan is full of drudgery, saying: Mu Sang's restlessness over the years has made the imperial court focus most of its energy on Haiphong, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of War has gradually realized that Dajing's coastal defense is weak, and the ships are small and unbeatable, and have begun to improve this part.

"..." Chai Zheng mixed in behind the crowd to receive the order, and secretly spurned, "You only thought of improving the coastal defense when we were all finished fighting? Did you remember that your surname is Zhao when the country fell?"

In the end, he changed the subject and said: Beijue just watched the imperial court's desperation, and has not stopped harassing. The sixteen prefectures are constantly fighting, and the Duke of the country has been delayed for a long time in the land of two rivers. It's time to go back to the border to have a look.

Chai Yuandao responded indifferently, "Accept the order".

It is not surprising that the imperial decree is full of state affairs, but Li Duanlai has come, but he has not even sent a message of greeting.

The friendship of life and death in youth seems to have gradually drifted away with time, with the distance from Liangjiang to Chang'an, and with the politeness of the monarch and his ministers.

"By the way," Li Duan said again, "Your Majesty also said that you don't need to go back to the capital, and you can go directly to Mobei, where there are plenty of armaments and manpower, and..."

Li Duan himself felt a little embarrassed, "I also hope that the Duke of the State will return the Haiphong Tiger Talisman."

In order to prevent those with malicious intentions from rebelling, Dajing does not have only one tiger talisman, and different types of border guards use different tiger talismans. For example, Chai Yuandao has two in his hand all year round.

One was from the Sixteen States of Mobei, in the shape of a tiger, khaki, with double eyes, while the other, which had been in Ruan Linshuang's hand, looked like a whale shark, with only one eye.

Zhao Qian wanted to go back to the Coast Guard Tiger Talisman at this time, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

The generals in the army were anxious for a while, and Chai Zheng hid behind and heard muttering and complaining, saying that the current emperor...is not a thing.

For this evaluation, Chai Zheng is quite pleased, and sincerely hopes that Zhao Qian's behavior will be a little bit too much, and he will take off the title of "Ming Jun" early, and will eventually be recorded in the annals of history as the shame of his Zhao family

What Li Duan brought was an oracle, and he had to follow it. Chai Yuandao was not greedy for the one-acre land on the shore of the Yellow Sea, so he handed over the tiger talisman.

It’s just that it’s a long way from Chang’an to Liangjiang, and from Liangjiang to Mobei, it will take more than half a month to go from Liangjiang to Mobei even if there are no delays and rests on the way. Chai Yuandao just won a big victory, and the injured are still recovering. For three days and three nights, he suddenly drove the ducks to the shelves. Even though he was originally generous, he couldn't help but sigh.

More than half a month is enough time for many changes to happen. Now that Jingli's order has come down, no matter what happens ahead, Chai Yuandao must bear certain responsibilities.

These years, Chai Guogong is not in the capital, and the people in the court have gradually changed. Naturally, there are a lot of criticisms against him, the Duke of the country who holds a heavy army. No less than a little wood sang.

These people live too comfortably, staring at the military power in the hands of Chai Guogong, if there is a slight mistake, they can't wait to exaggerate it dozens of times so that they can read a book.

Really tired of living in peace.

Zhao Linlang and Chai Zheng followed Chai Yuandao and watched him tidy up. Both the elder and the younger seemed unhappy, but they neither intended to stop Chai Yuandao, nor asked him to slow down, but Chai Yuandao was stared at. Have to gradually feel guilty.

He stopped his movements helplessly, looked up at Zhao Linlang, "Are you angry? For me, or for the sake of the Holy One."

"That's my brother." After Zhao Linlang finished speaking, he was silent for a while, "For him."

"He used to be your elder brother," Chai Yuandao covered Chai Zheng's eyes with his hand, and gently kissed his wife who had not seen him for many years and was about to leave, "but Zhao Qian is now the emperor of Dajing, and his family and old friends are here. They are insignificant in front of Jiangshan."

"..." Chai Zheng rolled her eyes silently.

"But this time, I don't know how long we will be separated." Zhao Linlang was still a little unhappy.

She sat on the high pile of luggage, "I thought Mu Sang was beaten back, but they sent people to surrender and ask for peace, so we retired and returned to the capital to stay in the capital until the spring of next year. There will be no movement in Mobei ...Why are you in such a hurry that you are required to leave in a hurry now?"

Zhao Linlang's conjecture is actually good. Chai Zheng still remembers that in his previous life, he set off on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the road was snowed heavily, so it was hard to avoid road closures. He didn't arrive at Pingyun in the Sixteen States of Mobei until the 28th of the first month. In the beginning of spring, Manjue organized several attacks that were neither painful nor itchy.

If it is reasonable to say that the departure on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is justifiable, then why should Chai Yuandao be thrown to Mobei before summer?Is he afraid that he will wash away the grievances that are not worthy of the name because of this battle, and become the victorious Chai Guogong again?

"Liu sent a message, saying that Beijing has criticized you a lot, and that there are people who have taken part in your armed forces." Zhao Linlang said, "I have to go back as soon as you leave. If rumors spread like this, our Chai Guogong Mansion will I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my reputation..."

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Linlang continued, "The emperor is suspicious. When the three of us were still in the army, he was greedy for merit. You didn't care about him, but you encouraged his greed. He is now the leader of ten thousand people." , if you feel jealous of you, there are some things you have to guard against."

This "him" was never named, but Chai Zheng knew that this person must be Zhao Qian.

"He's your brother." Chai Yuandao sighed.

"You said that he used to be my elder brother, but now he serves as the king and I serve as the minister, and the king wants the minister to die..." Zhao Linlang did not continue.

Chai Zheng thought to himself, "So they noticed Zhao Qian's intentions so early, but it's a pity they still couldn't escape."

After a while, Chai Yuandao seemed to remember that he still had a daughter. He hesitated and asked Chai Zheng, "What are you doing here?"

"..." What's the matter, in just a few days, you have completely forgotten all the joys and sorrows on the main ship of Musang?

Chai Zheng said angrily, "I'm here to tell you something."

"It's not big or small," Chai Yuandao rubbed the furry top of Chai Zheng's head, "say."

"Wu Heng from Musang Kingdom, I ask you to take her to Mobei. She is in such a condition that it is not appropriate to intervene in the struggle between the two countries. She needs to be treated first," Chai Zheng said, and suddenly gritted his teeth and laughed. Go back to Chang'an and snatch back my military adviser who left a letter and left me with a disagreement."
