[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Lin Ruhai's arrival did not cause much disturbance in the barracks. Even when Tang Yan went to visit him, he used the excuse that the emperor had to make an immediate decision on something in Beijing.What everyone is most concerned about now is when the snow will melt, when the battle will be fought, and when the family will return.In such weather, most people would not even open the door, let alone marching and fighting.Yeluqi really picked a good time to capture Dahan City, leaving no chance for a counterattack.

Jun Qi was also very anxious, he was indeed a little reckless in making this decision at the time, but Ye LvDing was too deceitful, so he couldn't just sit idly by.Now that it has reached this point, he can't just go back home like this.But getting Dahan back is not an easy task.

It's not easy for Yeluding, Yeluqi is still dishonest, and what he says can make him mad.There are another [-] troops pressing down outside the city. Despite the bad weather, who knows what tricks the cunning Chinese will come up with.But after a blizzard, Yelvding felt relieved a lot.His army did not dare to take any action under such circumstances, let alone the army of the Celestial Dynasty. In such severe cold weather, they might not even be able to move.He can take down Dahan so easily, which shows that the Chinese army is not as powerful as imagined.They want to be taken back again, but it is very difficult.In addition, he still has an internal response, although he cannot be fully trusted, it can also help him.

This is a rare conceit in Yelvding's life, but he has forgotten what kind of consequences his conceit and negligence led to last time.

It seems that overnight, the city of Dahan was surrounded by the army.The flying arrows shot from nowhere in the dark night caught the soldiers guarding the city by surprise. The big hooks hooked the city wall, and the army that appeared out of nowhere rushed to the first line of defense with lightning speed.

Yeluding managed to restrain Yeluqi, and was thinking about resting for a while, when he heard the news of the enemy attacking the city.When he wanted to go up to the city tower to check, he was stopped by the lieutenant general.The fighting on the tower was fierce, and most of the soldiers defending the city were killed.The plan for now is to retreat, otherwise it will be too late.

Yelvding's rough hands stroked the armor that had accompanied him for many years. This was the ugliest loss he had ever lost since he entered the battlefield.At any time, he falsely reported troops and horses, and attacked Dahan with [-] cavalry. He was lucky to win it.At that time, there was also a gamble in mind. Once Dahan could be captured, tens of thousands of troops would be mobilized from the capital, not to mention attacking the Urals, at least defending Dahan would not be a problem.Unexpectedly, this time, God did not take care of him again, and the remaining soldiers and horses in the capital were restrained by the second prince, Yeluxing, and could not be mobilized.The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty gathered another [-] troops to march in person, and now he is even ignoring the weather and forcibly attacking the city.

The tartars retreated hastily, and even Jun Qi didn't expect that Dahan was easily captured by this dangerous move!But when Shen Hanzhang reported it, he realized that Yeluding had only brought [-] soldiers and horses. This is simply a joke!The two armies have confronted each other for more than three months, and they haven't even figured out the real strength of the other side. It can make people laugh out loud!

"Confused! It's been so long, and I haven't even figured out how many troops the opponent has. What's the use of them!" Jun Qi threw the memorial to the ground fiercely, "Dahan City was taken by 3 horses, and I was still thinking about it carefully." He dared not attack after three months of countermeasures, so who would believe it! This Yeluding is really bold, 3 horses lied to [-], and they played us like fools."

Lin Ruhai was wearing a leather jacket, wrapped in a thick mink fur cloak, covering his head with warm hands, with herbal medicine still applied to his eyes, and he sat aside with a calm expression.But he said in his heart, it's a good thing that General Shen and his cousin are not here, otherwise he might be scolded severely by Jun Qi, and that would be light.It's just that this matter is indeed too serious, and now he has won, what if he doesn't?No wonder he was so angry, probably this time Shen Hanzhang and Tang Yan couldn't get anything good.

Jun Qi scolded again, almost swearing all the vulgar words in the market, and then he felt a little more at ease.But seeing that Ruhai was still sitting there with the old god there, without any intention of speaking, I couldn't help but feel that it was too much, "Ahem, what do you think of Ruhai? In your opinion, Shen Hanzhang, Tang Yan, etc. Should people be punished?"

Lin Ruhai was indifferent, these two people were related to him, so he didn't say anything just now.It's just that since Jun Qi asked, he couldn't help but reply with four words, "The merits and demerits are equal."

Jun Qi nodded, and thought that Ru Hai's eyesight is not convenient, so he said, "Yes, it's hard enough for them to attack at night in the snow. The situation in Beijing is unknown, so I'd better go back early, and let them deal with the aftermath here, you Follow me back first."

After applying the medicine, Lin Ruhai's eyes have improved a lot. You can see roughly, and the pain is no longer there. It's just not as clear as before. I always feel that everything I see is a little hazy.The medical skills of the doctors here are just like this, it is better to go back to Beijing and let the imperial doctor see Jun Qi to be at ease.

The imperial driver set off, escorted by three thousand imperial guards, and brought another twenty thousand infantry, and hurried back to Beijing.Lin Hai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, made great contributions to rescuing the driver. He thought that his serious injury was still unhealed, so he gave the imperial driver to accompany him.

Lin Ruhai, who spent most of the time on the imperial chariot when he came here, was completely settled inside this time, regardless of the gossip outside.Because he couldn't even read books and was very bored all day long, Jun Qi read the memorial to him and discussed countermeasures.Or pick out an idle book and talk about it, just like in other courtyards.

"Allocate that eldest brother's daughter to Jia Zhen? Whose idea is this? Why is it Jia's house?" Jun Qi rubbed his hands while talking, but it wasn't his own.

Lin Ruhai was feeling drowsy after listening to the nagging all afternoon, and responded casually, "Yeah, not bad." After a while, he felt something was wrong, and suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Jun Qi in a daze, "Who do you think will be allocated?" Jia Zhen?"

Jun Qi handed him the hot tea at hand, "Take a quick sip, but I'm sleepy. The girl that Xue Shao sent to the Qin family back then was my elder brother's youngest daughter. You forgot, you said that they wanted to ration Jia Zhen's son, you stopped him."

Lin Ruhai took a sip of hot tea, "Why... is it the meaning of the Supreme Emperor?"

"I don't know, but with her current status, marrying into Jia's family is a tall order. After all, she is the last blood of the elder brother. She should have stopped the old man back then, and at least gave her the title of princess. Fortunately, the Jia family is not counted. It's too humiliating to her, Jia Zhen is a third-class general and the patriarch of the Jia family. It's just that he's been a jerk since he was a child, and he doesn't look like his Jinshi father at all. Do you know his character?"

Lin Ruhai pouted, "It's just an ordinary dude who doesn't think about making progress, has some calculations and doesn't have much wisdom. It's hard for him to support the facade of Ningguo Mansion in the past two years."

Jun Qi saw that he looked so cute, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to kiss her, "That's it, let her go. What's on your mind these days, you're always so unhappy. But worry about your eyes? Once Let the imperial doctor take a look at it when you arrive in the capital, since it doesn't hurt anymore, it must be nothing serious."

Lin Ruhai scratched twice, and Jun Qi's hair wrapped around his neck, itching very much.Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing seem to be destined by heaven.Besides, if they insist on sending people to Jia's mansion, they have their own plans, so it's better to follow the trend.But Jun Qi's words reminded Lin Ruhai of one thing, he didn't seem to have time to tell Jun Qi about Jia Min's death.At the beginning, there were too many things, and it got messy all of a sudden, so I didn't remember it.After the war was finally over, Lin Ruhai hesitated again when he had time to think about it, where should he start?The matter of Jia Min, to put it bluntly, has nothing to do with Jun Qi.What does it mean to speak out about this matter at this time, he and Jun Qi can't get married after all.

"It's all right, but there is some trouble at home, and I think it should have been resolved."

What Lin Ruhai said was true.After Jia Min's death, Jia's family had a lot of opinions, and Jia's mother was afraid that Daiyu would be wronged.If Jia Min can live a few more years, Lin Heng will naturally kiss her, and he will definitely kiss Jia's mansion.But now that Jia Min is gone, and Lin Ruhai is in his prime, how could he not continue.In this way, not to mention Lin Heng, I am afraid that Daiyu will become estranged from the Jia family.Jia's mother had planned so much for the Jia family and for her beloved youngest daughter, but she never expected that a white-haired person would give a black-haired person.

In addition, before Jia Min died, she sent a message to Mother Jia, saying that it was for her sake to take good care of Daiyu and Brother Heng, and if the master reunited, the two children must not be wronged.Although brother Heng is not her own, she always treats him as her own son, and Wang mother treats him like a grandson.Mother Jia couldn't bear to let her daughter die in peace. Brother Heng is the only male in the Lin family, so he is not afraid, but Daiyu is different.Mother Jia is fortunate now that Daiyu has been brought up by the Tang family since she was a child, and she is close to the Tang family. Otherwise, one day her stepmother will come in and she will not be bullied to death?But Jia's mother was still worried, would the Tang family take the opportunity to take Lin Heng over to raise her, and not have Daiyu?So she specially sent Nanny Lai, who had been with her for many years, to the Lin family and had a talk.

The Tang family was not dissatisfied at all, this old in-law's mother-in-law only encountered things about her daughter, unlike when she was at home, she didn't care about her daughter's order, and her heart was all over the country of Java.But now it seems that she is not partial, she is very kind to the younger son and daughter, but she is picky about the eldest son, and she doesn't like life and death.But Tang didn't expect to go so far. It's too wicked for her daughter-in-law to think about finding a successor for her son after she left.However, Mother Jia's concerns were not bad, so the Tang family decided to get Jia Min's dowry out of her dowry, and brought it back to Jia's house for Mother Jia to take care of.When Daiyu gets married, let Jia give it to Daiyu to add makeup.

Jun Qi adjusted the cloak for him, the young couple probably had feelings for each other.He knew it early on, but he had been waiting for Ru Hai to speak, always feeling that with their current relationship, they should have everything to say.But Ruhai actually kept it from him.The joy of hearing the news for the first time completely dissipated at this moment, leaving only a touch of sourness.

Halfway through the trip, I arrived in a certain prefecture on this day, and it was the New Year's Eve, and every household was busy celebrating the New Year.Jun Qi was considerate of everyone traveling all the way, and deliberately ordered a day off to be stationed outside the city.

At night, the bonfire illuminates half of the sky, and the whole camp is immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.Although I can't go home to reunite with my parents and family, it's already a luxury to have wine and meat in this wilderness, not to mention that the emperor is also in this big camp.Being able to celebrate the new year with the emperor is a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes.

Jun Qi pulled Lin Ruhai to sit on the bed, and there was a kang table in the middle, with several dishes on it. Although they were not as exquisite as those in the palace, they were rich in meat and vegetables.

Jun Qi poured himself a glass of wine, "This is the first time I don't have to sit stupidly at a family banquet, it's still more comfortable like this. I still remember one year, when we were young, we thought this New Year's Eve dinner was boring. During the firecrackers, my elder brother and I urged the sixth son to go to fight with the father, saying that we were going to play outside. At that time, the sixth son was not sensible and listened to everything, and the father spoiled him, so let the eldest brother and I Take him to play. As soon as we got outside, the two of us ran away, and the sixth child turned around and ran with us, crying, saying, big brother, third brother, why don't you set off firecrackers. "

Jun Qi laughed while talking, and drank one cup after another of the wine in his hand.Lin Ruhai heard that he was a little drunk, and watched what looked like a flagon stretch out his hand, but the tentacles were warm.Oops, touched the wrong place.

"Ruhai, you can't steal wine! Your eyes are not healed yet, so you're not allowed to drink." Jun Qi woke up all of a sudden, and grabbed him with his backhand.

Lin Ruhai withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and the doctor didn't say he couldn't drink it, seeing how nervous he was.Besides, if he was not allowed to drink, but he drank happily with the jug, wouldn't he be envious of him?Yin complained, "It's just a glass of sake, so it's not worth it. Wine can drive away the cold. In this weather, you should drink a few more glasses."

Jun Qi saw that there seemed to be displeasure on his face, and couldn't bear it.Ru Hai doesn't drink alcohol, but he also likes to have a few drinks when he is happy.After all, it's the Chinese New Year, and I don't want him to be unhappy, so don't let him have a bad year, so I take the initiative to pour a glass for him, and I can only use it with one glass.

Ru Hai took a sip happily, the warmed wine was not as clear as usual, but it also had a special taste, but it didn't have the smell of wine. "Tsk tsk tsk, or Zhuyeqing is more mellow and sweet."

Jun Qi laughed at him, "It's good to have some wine, and if you don't like it, don't even drink this."

Ru Hai drank it in one gulp, "Hey, I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. It should be more than half of the trip, when can we reach the capital?"

Jun Qi said, "It will take about [-] more days. I have asked you several times today what to do in such a hurry."

Lin Ruhai sighed, "The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is Heng'er's first birthday, and I have already missed it. It will be Yu'er's birthday in a few days, and I will see if I can catch up."

Jun Qi clasped his hands together and laughed, "You really love your daughter like your life, more than your son. Xiao Yu'er's birthday is February [-]th, and she can walk there even if she walks, so she is still worried about this."

The two of them inside were drinking wine and their ears were hot, and the outside was not too far behind.Dai Quan dragged the tray to the big tent himself. This time he was not on a parade, so he didn't bring a few eunuchs with him. He personally handled all the important items such as food.It was only halfway there when I felt abdominal pain like twisting, my heart was not good, I looked left and right, but there was no reliable person there, so I wanted to bear it a little longer.After taking another step, he was really suffering from abdominal pain. Seeing that he was not far away from the big tent, he called the guards on the side and told them to send the vegetables to the big tent first, and he ran to the back in a panic to solve it.

The guards guarding the big tent heard the reason, and they had seen it in the palace before, so they let him in without saying anything.But after a while, I heard a sound of fighting coming from inside, but I don't know why.
