rebirth [rebirth]

On October 28, the first year of Chen Shuntian, Chu Jun captured the camp of Guangqing and persuaded Chen Kaiguo General Sun Zhao to surrender.The next day, Chu Jun sent [-] troops to directly occupy Guangqing City and kill the governor of Changle.

On the first day of November in the first year of Chen Shuntian, Rong Jingxuan climbed to the bell tower of Guangqing City and declared that the flag would be restored to the country.

The next day, the Guangqing camp re-conscripted.

Since Rong Jingxuan already had an excellent reputation, he announced a decree on the first day after occupying Changle County to restore the Dachu agricultural tax, so the people had no complaints about this abrupt change, and they naturally accepted it.

It was actually quite simple for them to accept Chen Shengzhi back then.

The common people are not interested in who is the emperor, they only care about whether the emperor is benevolent, whether he can feed the whole family and live.

Rong Jingxuan has the national treasury saved by the ancestors of Da Chu for more than two hundred years, but there is no shortage of agricultural taxes in the hands of ordinary people.

He has money and firearms, even if he is not the last royal family of the Rong family, there might be people willing to follow him if he waved the flag and rebelled.

So after occupying Guangqing, it will be so easy to control the entire Changle County.

As the largest county in Da Chu, the population of Changle County is as large as that of the two Bei counties combined. In addition, Guangqing Daying is well-known, so the conscription is quite smooth.

On the eighth day of November in the first year of Shuntian, there were more than 3 people in the Guangqing camp, and nearly 2 of them were young recruits.

Because they already had generals like Lu Jiming and Sun Zhao under their command, Rong Jingxuan and the others didn't have to worry too much about the detachments, drills, making weapons, etc. after conscription, which was a lot easier.

Probably the past few months were too tiring and hard work, and Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze were not used to it when they were free these few days.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze came out of the barracks, each with a pony, and galloped towards Guangqing City.

They were busy some time ago, so they let Master Xuanyin and Hua Jingshu stay in Guangqing City. Now that the barracks are stable, they are going to take them back to the main camp.

Guangqing is the largest county capital in the south-central part of Dachu. Because it is close to the Jiulian River, the people live in prosperity and happiness. It is a well-known land of fish and rice.

Its overall architectural style has both the elegance of a water town and the grandeur of a rich and rich county. Because Chen Shengzhi did not enter the city at that time, Guangqing today is still the same as it was when Dachu.

There are a total of six gates in Guangqing City. The gate from Guangqing Camp is the one with the fewest guards and the least number of pedestrians.

It was only noon when they arrived at the city gate, so the cavalry of Ning Yuanwei came out with them.

Ning Yuanwei used to be the mighty teacher of the Rong family. They were dressed in red cross-necked unicorns, with long swords on their waists and flying cloud boots. They looked quite heroic from a distance.

Ning Yuan Twenty was currently training the two thousand cavalry newly assigned to him in the barracks, so naturally he did not follow.

At this moment, it was Zhong Qi who followed the two of them and took care of everything.

The city defenders saw a group of cavalry coming from a long distance away. Ning Yuanwei's clothes were so special that they could tell at a glance.

So as soon as they arrived at the city gate, there was a captain waiting in front of the gate, and after checking the badges handed over by the soldiers, they let them go.

A group of people slowed down and walked into the city slowly.

There is a scene of prosperity in Guangqing City.

The people who come and go are cleanly dressed, and the shops on the street are booming. Occasionally, there are children in twos and threes playing football at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing their innocent smiling faces, Rong Jingxuan couldn't help but also smiled and said, "After we get tired of living in Hongdu, we will come and live here for a year or so, isn't it beautiful?"

Xie Mingze nodded lightly, and smiled slightly: "It's beautiful, and I like the scenery here too."

Guangqing is full of turrets with white walls and blue tiles. It usually looks like ink and splashes of color. If it rains, it will make people feel like they are in a fairyland.

Rong Jingxuan looked forward, and rarely relaxed: "Ah Ze, it's almost time."

"Ok?"

"Soon, we will return to Changxin soon, and we will return here soon." Rong Jingxuan said.

"We will always be together, traveling all over Dachu mountains and rivers."

Xie Mingze looked at his sharp side face seriously, and said, "Okay."

The two of them talked all the way where they were going to play in the future, and then they arrived at the inn.

It was noon at this time, and the guests in the inn were enjoying their lunch.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze got off their horses, leaving only ten guards, and the rest of the soldiers were told to disperse and go to eat on their own.

Zhong Qi looked around in the lobby of the inn, and then came back to report in amazement: "My lord, Master is not here, and Miss Hua is not here either."

This is strange, it is simply impossible not to see Xuanyin and his disciples while eating.

Rong Jingxuan was also very surprised when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said, "Maybe it's because the food in the inn is tired, so go to another restaurant for dinner?"

He really guessed right. Half an hour later, Rong Jingxuan and his party found Master Xuanyin and Hua Jingshu in a small tavern in the east of Guangqing.

Three people sat at a table, a young lady and two young Taoist priests, how strange it looked.

But those three people ate their meals on their own, everyone was very serious, as if they were eating some delicacies from mountains and seas.

Rong Jingxuan went in and saw that they were eating beef noodles.

"How did you guys find this place?" Xie Mingze greeted the three of them first, and then sat down at the table and asked.

Rong Jingxuan saw that the three of them were eating deliciously, so he directly ordered Zhong Qi to serve a large bowl with the special kimchi in the shop, which made the guards feel hungry.

Hua Jingshu put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth lightly with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile: "The two masters are very knowledgeable about food, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is gluttonous. They found this place and invited me here today. Try it out."

After she finished speaking, she paused and said, "It's really delicious, Your Majesty can try it."

Rong Jingxuan nodded with a smile, and said: "Sister Jingshu, if she thinks Guangqing is good, she will send you ten guards, and you can just live in Guangqing. The scenery here is beautiful, and it is very supportive."

Hua Jingshu was about to shake her head, but Xuanyin who was beside her said, "Let Master Hua go to the camp."

Xie Mingze's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was going to say something about Guangqing's difficulties, but he said again: "Benefactor Hua's craftsmanship is pretty good, I'm afraid the poor are not used to it in the Guangqing Camp."

Rong Jingxuan: "..."

So it doesn't count?Just want to have a good meal?

After hearing Xuanyin's words, Hua Jingshu smiled softly: "Master Xuanyin praises you, it's my honor that you appreciate my craftsmanship."

Xuanyin was very serious, and said solemnly: "Benefactor Hua is too modest, you are definitely a chef."

Xie Mingze: "..."

He saw that Hua Jingshu's expression was calm and composed, and he could laugh, but she was in good spirits.

He didn't know how much trauma, resentment or regret Yu Xiude's incident had left in her heart. Looking at her expression at this moment, he could only guess that she had let go.

But whether she is really relieved, I am afraid only she herself knows.

Xie Mingze knew that she had always been strong, but he was still worried in his heart. After all, she was his closest cousin and his mother's most beloved cousin.

Seeing him looking at Hua Jingshu worriedly, Rong Jingxuan secretly squeezed his hand under the table.

Xie Mingze looked back at him in surprise, but Rong Jingxuan shook his head slightly at him.

She doesn't need sympathy.

Rong Jingxuan lip-synced to Xie Mingze.

For Hua Jingshu, the last thing she needs right now is sympathy.

Xie Mingze understood in an instant, he nodded helplessly, and turned his gaze back to Xuanyin: "Master, why don't you follow us back to the Guangqing camp today?"

After all, the Guangqing camp is safer. They have just recovered Changle, and Chen Shengzhi's people must have been lurking here.Xuanyin and Hua Jingshu might risk their lives if they stayed in the city.

Xuanyin was very straightforward, and said directly: "It's the same wherever you live, but Hua Shi mainly goes together."

Hua Jingshu also smiled: "It's always far away from you here, so I'll go too."

After the agreement was made here, the two also had a bowl of beef noodles, which was indeed very authentic.When you smell the aroma, you know it's old soup. There is a layer of stewed beef on the chewy surface. When you pick it up and take a bite, your mouth will be filled with delicious fragrance.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze have already practiced the ability to eat quickly, but they can eat a bowl of noodles in the blink of an eye.

Xuanyin and the others didn't have much in the inn, so they returned to Daying that afternoon.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze came here in person this time just to see how the people are living today, seeing that they didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, they felt relieved.

When we arrived at Daying in the evening, we naturally invited several generals to have a sumptuous dinner together.

After dinner, Rong Jingxuan was called away by Lu Jiming to talk about military affairs, while Xie Mingze accompanied Xuanyin and Hua Jingshu to settle down.

The entire barracks is full of men, except for a small number of soldiers who brought their families to join the army, there are really not many women.

But Hua Jingshu didn't care at all, let Rong Jingxuan arrange her with those family members, and drove him away.

Xie Mingze knew that she had a strong personality and would not be too willing to accept his help, not to mention that when something like that happened just now, she wanted to show that she could do everything well.

Xie Mingze had no choice but to follow him and accompany Xuanyin and Qinghui to their residence.

They all lived in the barracks in the center of the barracks, so did Xuanyin's master and apprentice.

On the way, Xuanyin suddenly asked him: "Thank you benefactor, how long are you going to stay in Guangqing?"

Xie Mingze was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't hide anything, so he answered directly: "We won't leave until the recruits are done training and the soldiers from Yongwu's side are also transferred."

Xuanyin was silent for a long time, while Qinghui was running to play, she said in a low voice: "Thank you benefactor, listen to the poor Taoist, Guangqing is not a place for you to stay for a long time."

Xie Mingze was taken aback for another moment, Xuanyin's speech was always without beginning or end, vague and unclear.But his words seemed to have a lot of deep meanings, and people couldn't help but get caught up in them, tossing and turning for a long time.

He didn't say what he thought, but asked, "What about Jingxuan?"

Xuanyin silently shook her head.

"Thank you benefactor, the poor way is to watch the sky, and it is really rare to be able to see something about the individual while watching the sky. Because it is your luck, so the poor way can only talk to you, only you can change yourself The fate of the benefactor Rong can't be seen by the poor, because his life is connected with the fate of the big Chu country, and the fate of the country is too huge, and his own is insignificant."

It was rare for Xuanyin to speak so much in one breath, and after he finished speaking, he was a little tired, so he took a few breaths.

After Xie Mingze finished speaking, he smiled calmly: "Thank you for reminding me, Master, Mingze is very grateful."

Xuanyin looked up at the sky, the stars in the sky were shining brightly, heralding a clear and bright tomorrow.

"Thank you benefactor, take care of it."

Xie Mingze nodded: "Thank you, Master."

The conversation stopped here, and Xie Mingze stared at the orderly soldiers helping Xuanyin's master and apprentice settle down, then returned to his and Rong Jingxuan's barracks.

Naturally, they live in the coach's house, which is neither good nor bad.

Xie Mingze's face was very calm, as if Xuanyin's words didn't have much effect on him, he opened the door and entered the room, and found Rong Jingxuan sitting at the table reading a book.

Seeing Xie Mingze come back, Rong Jingxuan suddenly put on a straight face: "Come here, sit down."

Xie Mingze smiled helplessly, walked over and stretched out his hand: "It's almost healed, such a small injury will miss me for several days."

Rong Jingxuan glared at him, holding his breath and said, "Can't you imitate Dai Xian? People also lure the enemy deep, why didn't you see any injuries?"

His tone was not good, but his hands were very gentle. He quickly removed the gauze and applied medicine to Xie Mingze's scabbed light red wound, and then carefully wrapped it up.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, Your Majesty forgive me." Xie Mingze still didn't take it seriously.

Rong Jingxuan saw that he didn't want to get in, so he had to make a ruthless move: "Next time if Hai disregards himself like this, I will never send you to the battlefield again."

Xie Mingze couldn't laugh or cry.

"My lord, how old are you?"

Rong Jingxuan wanted to add two more "serious words", but unexpectedly the door rang: "Your Majesty, Yong'an urgently reports that Chen Shengzhi has sent troops."
