All rivers and mountains are safe

Lu Ciheng wanted to use this method to attract Shen Mingan's attention, but he didn't expect it to be counterproductive.

What Shen Ming'an said to Lu Wenhuai, he didn't know, he found an opportunity to ask Lu Wenhuai, but Lu Wenhuai also hesitated to say anything.

He was self-defeating, and his relationship with Shen Ming'an was getting worse and worse. On his birthday, even the birthday noodles that he had every year were gone. Come to Shen Mingan to say "Happy Birthday" to him.

Lu Ciheng always thought that Shen Mingan treated him very special, and he devoted more time and energy to him. Compared with the crown prince and fifth prince, Lu Ciheng had neither power nor the emperor's favor, but he himself From small to large, Shen Mingan treated him equally, and even cared and loved him more.

Only he remembers his birthday.

But later Lu Ciheng discovered that Shen Mingan would not only make a bowl of noodles for him on his birthday, he would also cook for Lu Qingshi and Lu Wenhuai, and even the little beggar he picked up, Liu Heyu, would cook for his birthday Make him a bowl of noodles with your own hands.

Lu Ciheng regarded him as his closest person, but in Shen Mingan's eyes, Lu Ciheng was just one of his many students, just like everyone else in the Imperial College.

Perhaps Lu Ciheng was different from the others, after all he was the only student in the Imperial College who went out with the army.

This decree came from Chongsheng Emperor Lu Chengjing.

In recent years, the old emperor has favored civility over martial arts. His family is proud that his sons and daughters can enter the court as officials, and they look down on those rough military officers. The same is true in the Imperial College. There are very few martial arts courses. Lu Ciheng's reading and writing grades are mediocre However, She Yu is number one every year.

Lu Ciheng is a prince. In the decree given to him by his father, he was not asked to be a commander, nor was he asked to be an army supervisor, but to be a small soldier in the army. Said this is for him to experience experience.

To put it nicely, it is actually different from those prisoners who were exiled into the army.

Shen Ming'an did not intercede for him, and even the day Lu Ciheng left, he did not come to see him off.

This visit is several years.

The archery learned in the Imperial College is all ostentatious. When it comes to the real battlefield, no one cares how good-looking the archery posture is, and no one cares who rides a BMW with brighter fur.

On the battlefield, swords and guns don't have eyes, and if you don't pay attention, your life will be gone.

The northwest is bitterly cold, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the wind wraps the sky full of yellow sand and blows it on people's faces, like a knife cutting. When Lu Ciheng first arrived, he was ill for half a month because of the unacceptable water and soil.

Even if he is sick, he can't escape the daily training. If he doesn't do well, he doesn't have any patient guidance, only the military whip in the captain's hand that can beat people to pieces.

The flesh of the old whip wound has not yet healed, and a new wound has been added.

Not only Lu Ciheng, but also soldiers in the army, but most of them dared not speak out.

One day, Lu Ciheng couldn't bear it anymore.

Inadvertently, he kicked over the captain's water glass, and the whip was wrapped in a strong wind and hit his back. Lu Ciheng returned to the time when he was in the cold palace in a daze, and suffered a few times with a muffled sound. Suddenly, he stood up, snatched the military whip from the captain's hand, and yelled at him ferociously: "Do you know who I am?!"

The captain gave him a look, and several people came forward to suppress him, and cut his hands behind his back, making Lu Ciheng unable to move.

The captain watched Lu Ciheng struggle like a ferocious beast in his spare time. After watching for a while, he said sarcastically, "I don't care who you are! This is in the army, and I'm your captain." Captain, you should listen to me."

Military boots stepped on his face, and half of Lu Ciheng's face was sunk in the hot yellow sand. The captain looked down at his ugliness and cursed: "What are you, you dare to challenge me."

Lu Ciheng panted heavily, spat out the sand that choked his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he remembered the captain's face deeply in his mind.

Here, no one knows his identity, and even if he tells, no one will believe him.

It's useless to be reckless, only when you really have real power and climb higher than others can you trample those who bully him under your feet.

He rose up to resist this time, and in the end he got mottled whip marks on his back and a military punishment, and he couldn't get out of bed for half a month.

The wind was howling outside the house, Lu Ciheng was lying on the bed, and the wound would be affected by the slightest movement. He couldn't even touch his own wound, let alone apply medicine. Liu Wuchang, who was in the same army, looked at him pitifully, and took out the wound. The golden sore medicine that he had secretly hidden was sprinkled on his wound, causing Lu Ciheng to grin his teeth in pain and sweat profusely.

"Xiao Lu, where are you from? Why did you come to the army at such a young age?" Wuchang Liu was in his early forties, dark and thin, his face was dry and cracked by the yellow sand in the northwest. He took back the medicine bottle and put it in his own In his arms, he covered Lu Ciheng with a quilt and asked him.

In the army, there are many people who joined the army at the age of [-] or [-], but among the few people led by Liu Wuchang, Lu Ciheng was indeed the youngest.

Lu Ciheng lay on the bed, not daring to move, gritting his teeth in pain, "At home...forced."

Wuchang Liu spontaneously misinterpreted this sentence, sighed and said: "That's right, none of these people who came to join the army were forced by their families. I came to the northwest to defend the territory, and the imperial court should also take care of my wife and daughter. "

Before this, Lu Ciheng had very little contact with Liu Wuchang, but in these very few contacts, Lu Ciheng also knew that his favorite thing to talk about on weekdays was his wife and daughter.

When talking about his wife and daughter, Liu Wuchang put on a smile on his dark and thin face, "I joined the army at the age of 27. When I left, my daughter just knew how to call my father. It has been more than ten years, and now she is almost here. The older she is, the longer she must be, the more beautiful she is..."

"You saw her when you came to join the army?"

"I haven't been back since I came to the Northwest, how could I have seen it?" Wuchang Liu said.

Lu Ciheng was annoyed by the pain on his back, choked him and said, "Then how do you know that she grows more beautiful?"

Wuchang Liu glanced at him indifferently, and said: "My wife sends me letters every year, and she mentioned it in the letter."

Seeing that Chief Liu was going to talk about his wife and daughter again, Lu Ciheng became more and more annoyed by what he heard, so he changed the subject and asked, "Where is Chief Liu from?"

"I'm from Jiangzhou."

"Jiangzhou?" These two words fell into Lu Ciheng's ears, causing his emotions to surge, he wanted to sit up, but was forced to lie down by the pain in his back, and said carefully: "Then you know Shen Mingan, he is also from Jiangzhou."

"Of course I know." Liu Wuchang didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and replied: "He was famous in Jiangzhou for his intelligence since he was a child, but later his family fell into ruin, and no one knew where he went. I came to join the army. A few years ago, I happened to hear the news that he won the No. [-] Scholar, and now he should be a high-ranking official in the court."

"What else?" Lu Ciheng wanted to know more about Shen Mingan, so he asked again.

"I don't know the rest. Although I am from the same town as him, I don't know him. Besides, I only think about how to eat and clothe myself, and I don't know about these scholars." Chief Liu paused, He said with some pride: "But speaking of it, he is the only three-yuan and No. [-] scholar in our Jiangzhou in the past hundred years."

Lu Ciheng couldn't hear any useful news from him, covered his head with the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep after a few breaths.
