"You said, you found the Wen woman who gave birth to my mother back then?" Ke Weiqing asked in surprise in the grain warehouse.

"Yes. The old man is very old and not in good health, but she remembers you very clearly. She said, your parents are very handsome, and they don't look like people from the mountains. They seem to have something urgent to do from forever. Qing Zhen rushed back to the mountains, but unexpectedly, his fetus moved and gave birth to you on the way."

"And then? Is that child really me?" Ke Weiqing asked excitedly.

"It's you, there is a jade pendant to testify." Yonglin took out the jade pendant he had begged from Ke Wang's mansion, handed it to Ke Weiqing, and said, "Wen Po said, she recognizes this thing, because looking at your chubby son, your Parents were overjoyed and said that the Wei family had a queen, and they took out this jade pendant and tied it to you, but at that time, there was no name on the jade pendant, so it must have been engraved later."

"and also……"

"What else?" Ke Weiqing's heart rose to his throat.

"Your parents thanked Mrs. Wen repeatedly, and even hugged and cried together. This scene was very touching. Mrs. Wen was very impressed by this. They said they were from Wuque Village, but Mrs. Wen had never heard of this village... Even if you inquire after the fact, no one will know.”

"Wuque Village..."

"Wei Qing, what I'm going to say next may be a bit of fantasy, but it's absolutely true... because later on, I found some legends about Wuque Village..." Yong Lin said cautiously , and looked at Ke Weiqing's face.

"Does this legend mean that men of the Wuque tribe can conceive?" Ke Weiqing asked bluntly.

"Ah?!" Yonglin was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, "How did you know? This is a big secret!"

"I didn't know at first, until I met Beidou imperial doctor, he said that my body is very special, so I knew..." Regardless of whether I can get pregnant, but the fact that I was born in the Wuque family should be true. Once Ke Weiqing Accepting this, my mood actually calmed down.

"Then, the emperor also knows about this?" Yonglin's head turned quickly. The imperial doctor should report this to the emperor, right?

"Well, the emperor doesn't really care about this..." Ke Weiqing didn't say anything about Huang Ye asking him to have a baby.

"Alas! I worked so hard for so long to find something related to your life experience. I was worried that you would not be able to accept it. I didn't expect that in the end, I was the one who was kept in the dark!" Yong Lin held his forehead, He sighed again and again.

"Your Highness..." Ke Weiqing couldn't help comforting him, "This matter is too bizarre, so I don't know how to tell you, and I'm not sure. Until you take out the jade pendant, the pattern on it is the same as mine. The birthmark on the arm is the same, so I am sure, thanks to your help."

"Wei Qing." Yong Lin pressed his hands on Ke Weiqing's shoulders, and said with a rare serious expression, "Since you believe this is true, don't sleep with me anymore, what if you get pregnant with a dragon child? You are a general, not a concubine! Your situation will be very difficult!"

"I won't get pregnant." Ke Weiqing lowered his head and said softly, "The Imperial Physician of Beidou said that I have suffered from cold poison, and it is not easy to get it."

"According to your tone, you won't refuse to serve the bed..." Yonglin couldn't hide his disappointment, "Is it because he is the emperor, so no matter what the request is, you obey him?"

"Your Highness, now is not the time to talk about this," Ke Weiqing pushed away Yonglin's hand, turned around, and said calmly, "In front of the enemy, winning the battle is the key."

"Because the war is about to start, I want to know your thoughts even more. The battlefield is so dangerous..."

"I'll be fine." Ke Weiqing smiled suddenly, extremely handsome, "I can assure you of this fate."

——Before Huang Ye ruled the world, he would not allow himself to die rashly.

"It's such a critical moment, thanks to you still laughing!" Seeing Ke Weiqing following Huang Ye wholeheartedly instead of just obeying the imperial decree, Yong Lin's heart hurt like a knife, although he didn't show it on his face.

"Your Highness, you are about to go to the battlefield, and you still dare to sneak in." Ke Weiqing pretended to be relaxed.

"I..." There was no smile on Yong Lin's handsome face, but the next moment, he cleared his throat and said, "I need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" Ke Weiqing asked.

"When I was looking for your family everywhere, I picked up a child on the road. He was quite smart, so I adopted him as an adopted child."

"What? Didn't you report such a big matter to the court?" The prince's adopted son will inherit the title in the future, so he must report it.

"Secretly. This child is ten years old and his name is Hongliu. It is not convenient for me to take him with me. I want him to follow you." Yonglin said, "I have asked him to come here and wait."

"It's better to cut first and play later." Ke Weiqing had to shake his head when he saw Yonglin's behavior, "I want to go to the battlefield and take my child with me, what should I do?"

"You have to have an attendant, so let him stay in the tent to serve you." Yong Lin said in a pleading tone, "This child is pitiful without father and mother. Bring it back to Gaizhou."

This lonely situation made Ke Weiqing immediately think of himself. When he left King Ke's mansion and went to the paddock, he was only eight or nine years old.

"I know little one, you have the best heart, and when my affairs are settled, you will naturally take him away." Yonglin said to Ke Weiqing with a twinkle in his eyes, very sincerely.

"What else do you need to deal with?" Ke Weiqing asked. Hasn't Yonglin already found out about his life experience?As for the whereabouts of his parents, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to find out.

"Don't ask about it, you will know later." Unexpectedly, Yonglin avoided the question, but said that if Ke Weiqing agreed, he would leave the child behind and leave the barracks quietly.

This was no different from threatening. Ke Weiqing knew that if Huang Ye found out that Yong Lin had infiltrated the army, he would definitely be furious. At that time, hundreds of soldiers would be punished.

So, Ke Weiqing nodded and promised to take care of Hongliu.

※※※

Ke Weiqing saw Hongliu in the early morning of the next day. After a night of rest, the army was about to break out of camp and march forward. At this time, Yonglin came to say goodbye, and there was a child with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing beside him, which was Hongliu.

"Come on, pay your respects to the General." Yong Lin said with a smile.

"Hongliu pays homage to General Ke!" The kid was young, but he kowtowed very vigorously. With a "bang", he was not afraid of bumping his forehead on the ground, which really scared Ke Weiqing.

"Get up, you are still so young, you don't need to perform such a great gift." Ke Weiqing helped Hong Liu up, and found that although he was young, he was quite tall.

"Let me tell you, General Ke is a good man and will take good care of you." Yong Lin folded his arms and said with a smile.

"No, Hong Liu wants to take care of General Ke, and is willing to do his best for him." Hong Liu said very seriously, with a pair of dark eyes shining like a morning star in the sky.

Ke Weiqing couldn't help admiring this kid's courage, cleverness and obedience. At his age, he was far less mature and sensible than him.

"What a dog and a horse!" However, before Ke Weiqing could answer, Yong Lin laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and scratched Hong Liu's head, "What a good boy of foster father!"

"So, are you leaving now?" Ke Weiqing asked Yonglin.When the horn of Chenshi blows, soldiers will gather on the avenue, and some generals may recognize him... It's better to avoid it.

"Yes, I will make a detour and walk from the south side of the mountain, so I won't run into you again." Yong Lin said clearly.

"Okay, but you have to take care of yourself." Ke Weiqing did not forget to remind, "If there is nothing important, go back to Gaizhou as soon as possible."

"Understood, you too, guns have no eyes, be more careful!" Only when he stared at Ke Weiqing, Yong Lin would show his true feelings. He was very worried, but he was powerless to stop it.

If he were the emperor, he would never let Ke Weiqing go to the battlefield.

"I said, I'll be fine." Ke Weiqing smiled and said calmly.

"General Ke, you are here! Vice-General Zhang is looking for you..." At this moment, a herald came hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ke Weiqing replied, said goodbye to Yonglin with his eyes, and took Hongliu back to the military tent.

Yonglin's lightness kung fu is very good, he left the heavily guarded camp without anyone noticing, after that, no one knew his whereabouts.

Three years later.

Southern Lie Kingdom, Daliang Town.The rainy season has passed, and it is time for the sun to dry the land and make fires everywhere.

There are many houses in the streets and alleys, but no one comes out. Only near the government office, there are still soldiers-Dayan's soldiers.

Even if Monarch Nanlie gets the assistance of the neighboring country Feiyi, it is still impossible to restore the situation of empty treasury and successive defeats.Even in the first year, their spearmen and iron horses invaded all the way to the towns in the southwest of Dayan, burning, killing and looting all the way, causing the army and people of Dayan to suffer a lot.

However, now, the black gold flag of the Dayan Army has divided the Nanlie Kingdom into two. Daliang Town is the boundary ridge. To the west is the remaining land of the Nanlie Kingdom, and to the east is occupied by the Dayan Army.

This Daliang mansion also became the residence of General Ke Weiqing. At this time, he was standing in front of the window, studying Nan Lie's weapon, a poisonous dagger.

Even though it was only as thin as a willow leaf, it cost the lives of many Dayan soldiers. Ke Weiqing spent a lot of effort to detoxify it, but he didn't think that it was the key to turning the tide of the battle.

It's just that Dayan didn't have the craft of making such a thin and thin dagger, so he held it in his hand and looked at it.

The weather was very hot, and there was no cry of cicadas, but a rumbling sound was heard from the market avenue. Ke Weiqing put down his dagger, looked out the window, and saw the red dust billowing, it was actually a team of chariots coming!

The leading boy was tall and slender, wearing cloth armor and a dagger at his waist.With his black hair fluttering in the wind, he looked very free and easy and heroic, but at the same time, his superb driving allowed the heavy armored chariot to pass through the market without damaging the stalls on both sides in the slightest.

"stop!"

When approaching the gate of the mansion, the young man raised his hand backwards, and the dozen or so chariots stopped in the flying dust.

The boy jumped out of the car and came to the back.Beside the third chariot, he tapped on the wheels for a while, and then said to the soldiers above, "This axle is very worn out, and it will break after running for a while. You should change it."

"Huh? How did you know?" Actually, the soldier had already noticed that the car was driving smoothly. He had already asked the craftsman to check it yesterday. It took him a long time to say that the axle was worn out and he needed to replace it with a new one, but he thought it was too hot. , has not yet been replaced.

"You can tell by the sound, it's so loud." The boy said.

"Haha, you really are the general's child prodigy!" The soldier laughed and said, "It was rumbling when you ran. I couldn't tell which one was the sound of the axle."

The other soldiers got out of the car one after another, and gathered around the young man, asking him for some driving skills.

Just as he was getting excited, someone suddenly clasped his fists and shouted loudly forward, "I have seen General Ke!"

Ever since, everyone knelt down and bowed, saying loudly, "Hello, General Ke!"

"Aren't you all from the Ministry of War?" Ke Weiqing said with a smile.These soldiers were still very young, no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were assigned to the Ministry of War to take care of chariots, horses and weapons. The work was cumbersome and heavy.Although it does not need to go to the battlefield, it is the strongest backing for the soldiers.

"Yes!" The voice was still loud and very excited.

"It's really hard work for you to come out to adjust the chariot on such a hot day." Ke Weiqing said appreciatively.

"General, the little ones are not tired! Thanks to his help, I saved a lot of effort." Everyone said that he was Hong Liu who was standing aside, although he was only 13 years old, but not shorter than them.

"Hongliu, do you want to have a match with this general?" Perhaps, seeing his youthful enthusiasm made Ke Weiqing excited, and asked with a smile.

"Okay!" Hong Liu was overjoyed. You must know that General Ke is a very busy man and has no entertainment at all. Unlike other military officers who would find local women for company, he was always alone.

Hong Liu was already very worried about General Ke, whether he was overworked, but he did not expect that today he would come out with a few brothers from the Ministry of War to rest the chariot and give General Ke a chance to relax.

"Then, let's go to the suburbs. Here, the people have been disturbed." Ke Weiqing said.

"Yes!" Hong Liu clasped her fists and said.

Thus, the dozen or so chariots galloped to the open space in the southern suburbs. Of course, it was not as good as the road in the town. There were uneven dry and cracked red soil everywhere.

"Go to that dead tree, the first to come wins, and the reward is... you are allowed to rest for three days in a row."

"Great!" For this group of teenagers, it would be best if they could put down their burdens and go out to play.

"That's good, but don't let the water go." Hong Liu was not very excited, but said seriously, unlike the others.

"Yeah." Ke Weiqing smiled. For some reason, Hong Liu's character reminded him of Huang Ye when he was a teenager.Originally, he wanted to stay by his side as a servant so that he could take care of him.

But he soon discovered that it was overkill. Hong Liu knew how to read, and was very studious. When he polished his armor, he did not forget to memorize the tactics and strategies in the military book.

Moreover, he is also very good at comforting people. When Ke Weiqing suffered several defeats and was very depressed, he would say, "This is not repeated defeats, but repeated defeats. We will definitely win!" Come.

Unknowingly, Ke Weiqing had regarded him as his own younger brother, taught him martial arts carefully, and even let him go to the Ministry of War to learn, instead of just being a servant boy.

Compared with the Ministry of War, at first he was puzzled, and even thought that Hongliu was the supervisor sent by Ke Weiqing. Later, he saw Hongliu's true skills, and gradually fell in love with him. He praised him as the general's child prodigy and should be rewarded.

However, Hong Liu was still too young to be granted an official position, but he was proficient in everything, so no matter whether it was entering or leaving the general's mansion or the military camp, he could come and go freely without anyone blocking him.

The appearance of the ten chariots moving forward side by side was really imposing, but soon it was high and low, Hong Liu took the lead, and the bumpy land seemed to have become extraordinarily flat under his feet.

Ke Weiqing's chariot followed closely behind, the wheels were almost flying, and the other soldiers were left far behind.

"shelf!"

Hong Liu lashed out at the horsewhip, and victory was close at hand, but Ke Weiqing's chariot leapt forward. The heavy body of the chariot, as if it was integrated with the horse, quickly caught up with Hong Liu.

The two horses competed for the first place, the dead tree was getting closer and closer, and Ke Weiqing's horse had begun to distance itself from Hong Liu, taking the lead.

Not to be outdone, Hong Liu twitched the horsewhip harder, but Ke Weiqing suddenly slowed down and looked back.

"What's the meaning of this?" Hong Liu wondered, when she wanted to whip the whip again, she only heard a snap!The reins snapped!The horse ran out alone, and the frame smashed to the ground.This huge momentum not only smashed the car body, but also threw Hongliu out.

"Lyuer!"

Ke Weiqing flew out almost at the same time, caught Hong Liu in mid-air, turned around, and sat back on his chariot in a buoyant manner.

"Woo!" The horse stopped, just under the dead tree.

"Are you okay?" Ke Weiqing lowered his head and asked Hong Liu who was still in a daze in his arms.

"Yeah. But, how did you know that my rein would break?" Hong Liu couldn't forgive herself, she didn't realize this, and she was still self righteous.

"Your horse's bridle is made of cowhide, which is easy to wear and tear. In addition, the road here is difficult to walk, and you keep whipping. The leather is worn out, so it must be broken."

"That's it..." Hong Liu lowered her head in frustration.Compared with General Ke's, his ability is still far behind.

"Don't be sad, it's just an accident." Ke Weiqing said with a smile, "In this game, because your car broke down, let's consider it a tie."

At this time, the chariot from behind arrived, and they all avoided the shattered chariot, thinking that Hong Liu would be seriously injured, but they were all relieved to see him sitting beside the general safe and sound.

"Your Excellency General is superior." Someone said.

"Of course, can we compare with the general? We can't even compare with our toes." Hong Liu said somewhat angrily.

"Okay, isn't it a tie?" Ke Weiqing said soothingly, "You can also take a three-day holiday."

"Really? Great! Good luck, General!"

"Before that, clean up here first." Ke Weiqing said, "Find that war horse back."

At this time, Hongliu stood up and blew the whistle on her body. The frightened war horse ran away and quickly came back.

"Hehe, have you tamed all the horses?" Ke Weiqing looked at Hong Liu with a smile, "It seems that I want to reward you."

It's a great feat to train the grumpy Mustang well!

※※※

At night, as a reward, Ke Weiqing took the red glass to set off fireworks, which was loved by everyone, regardless of age or gender.

Because the current situation is still stable, Ke Weiqing lifted the curfew, and the people would come out on relatively cool nights to watch the colorful fireworks, and many people gathered on the street.

"It's so beautiful!" Blossoming fireworks illuminated the earth like a dream, illuminating every upturned face.

Ke Weiqing and Hong Liu, dressed in casual clothes, shuttled through the lively night market, and some girls also came out to laugh and play.

Ke Weiqing noticed that a girl holding a silk fan was staring at Hongliu all the time, so she smiled knowingly.

"What's wrong? General." Hong Liu asked.

"That girl seems to like you very much." Ke Weiqing said.

"Oh." Hong Liu shrugged nonchalantly, "So what?"

"Why do you say that? In Dayan, many [-]- and [-]-year-old boys are engaged." Ke Weiqing encouraged Hongliu to get in touch with others more.

"I don't talk about personal relationships with my children." I didn't expect Hongliu to feel shy like other teenagers at all, but serious, and even a little angry, "No!"

"Liu'er?" Ke Weiqing was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "Did something happen? Did someone bully you?"

"Master General." Hong Liu asked suddenly, "If someone killed your parents, what would you do?"

"I..." No one really asked this question, because Ke Weiqing always felt that his parents were still alive, but he couldn't find them.

"I want revenge!" Hong Liu said loudly, frowning, with a look of deep hatred, "One day, I will kill all my enemies to comfort my parents under the nine springs."

"No, you are a child, don't bear such hatred." Ke Weiqing shook his head and said lovingly, "Since it is a murder case, the government will review it and make a conclusion."

"Hmph, I'm afraid of this person, even the government can't convict him."

"What does this mean?" Ke Weiqing heard Hongliu talk about this for the first time, and couldn't help but hold his hand and asked carefully.

"Because that person is dead."

"Ah?" Ke Weiqing was stunned, "Since he is already dead, why should he take revenge?"

"It's true, the father's debt is repaid by the son!" Hong Liu said, grinding her teeth.Hundreds of lives in Wuque Village could be forgiven if he died!

"Who the hell is it?" Ke Weiqing asked urgently.He didn't want to watch Hong Liu lose his way for revenge.He is so capable, a military genius who can be recommended to the emperor.

"You will know later." Hong Liu said with certainty, "I will."

"...Okay then." Ke Weiqing knew that Hongliu had told him enough things tonight, so he didn't want to push him, so he patted his head and said, "But you have to promise me, you must not If you act impulsively, you have to ask me about everything.”

"En." Hong Liu nodded.I thought to myself, what my foster father said is not wrong, if you want to take revenge, you must first approach General Ke, because he is also a member of the Wuque clan.

Three years ago, when Hong Liu was wandering on the street and hungry, she met Yong Lin, or rather, she heard him asking about "Wu Que", so she took the initiative to entangle her.

... None of the Wuque villagers survived the massacre that year, but there is no unparalleled road, and some villagers are not in the village because they have to go out for business.

When they went back, they saw the unrecognizable village and their relatives burned like black coals, and almost collapsed.

In an instant, Wu Que was reduced from a self-sufficient, kind and hardworking nation to refugees who were not even as good as beggars. The tragedy of the destruction of the whole village, and the original Wuque Village, how beautiful it is, it makes people yearn for it!

It was Emperor Dayan Chunyu Wen who made this warmth shattered!The cruel executioner!

Even though Hong Liu was not born at that time, it was as if he had experienced it himself. However, his parents died early because of the plague and had no money for medical treatment.

This is the last wish of his parents, and before it is fulfilled, he will take it as his goal, no matter how much hardship it takes.

But where to start?Wu Que has no leader now, just like a mess of loose sand. Although everyone has hatred in their hearts, they cannot destroy the enemy with their minds, not to mention that the opponent is so powerful!

The appearance of Yonglin, like a timely rain, helped Hongliu, although after learning that he was the prince, Hongliu also thought of killing him.

But Yong Lin said that he sympathizes with them very much and will help them complete their great cause of revenge, even if they want to bring down the current emperor.

That's right, killing Yonglin will not affect Dayan in any way, only killing the emperor will Dayan be shaken.In the beginning, Chunyu Wen exterminated the Wuque clan in order to keep his throne.Then let his successor die under the knife of the Wuque people now, so as to comfort the soul of the tragic death.

Therefore, Hongliu and Yonglin reached an agreement, and after that, Yonglin explained in detail a way to win.Today, the military power of Dayan is in the hands of General Ke, and General Ke is a Wuqueman...

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. As a witch, how could he work for Dayan? !Hong Liu wished she could find Ke Weiqing immediately and tell him the facts.

But Yonglin stopped him, saying that Ke Weiqing was not only a general, but also served the emperor, so to impress him, you must first establish a relationship.

And the scariest thing about people is having feelings.Even kittens and puppies will not be easily abandoned.Therefore, he asked Hongliu to go to Ke Weiqing's side first. Even if Ke Weiqing knew his true identity and purpose later, he might not arrest him.

In addition, Ke Weiqing was adopted by King Ke's mansion since he was a child, and he probably didn't know anything about Wu Que. It would be absolutely impossible for him to rebel suddenly.

Hongliu has to admire Yonglin's foresight and foresight. In the past three years, after personally contacting General Ke, Hongliu found that he is really loyal and patriotic, and he is strict with himself.

However, just because he was very upright, he couldn't tolerate such thorns in his heart. After all, among the people who died tragically were his parents.
