Chapter 18 Proud Jinghua Alone
The dust has settled, and the capital seems to be particularly quiet. Originally, I thought that Yu Linglong had left Qi Zhongtian, which was unfavorable to the Qin family. But no one expected that after that, Qi Zhongtian became closer to the Qin family.
However, this intimacy was a sharp blade, which was invisibly placed on the neck of the Qin Dynasty. Soon, there was a disturbance in the court, and the most controversial expedition fell on the head of the Qin Dynasty.
For some reason, the Tatari in the northwest suddenly stood at the border gate a few days ago, and tens of thousands of troops went straight to the border between the two countries and confronted Yanmen Pass from afar. Fearing that the situation would change, the vice general of the border gate quickly asked the court for help.
The prince faction strongly recommended the Qin Dynasty to go forward this time, not to mention that the Qin Dynasty was a general, and many years ago, the Qin Dynasty made contributions to garrisoning the border, and it was extremely reasonable for him to go this time. However, Qi Zhongtian was surprised by everyone and elected the Qin Dynasty as a general together with the prince.
The Qin Dynasty did not object, so everything seemed to go smoothly.
When Qin Si got the news, Qin Chaoding had already gone to the Gyeonggi army to fight. Recently, although their father and daughter are a little indifferent, Qin Si will not really care. At this moment, after the promotion, the panic in her heart became as strong as a rising flame.
No one is sure about the current situation, and the Qin Dynasty will definitely be able to retreat completely. What if His Royal Highness closes some hands and feet in Yanmen?
Without Qin Si's worries, the Gyeonggi army has changed...
The Qin Dynasty, who changed into armor, had the firmness of steel in his eyes, and the strong spirit spread from the cold iron armor. He stood on the platform and looked at the iron bones of the man below, and his eyes couldn't help showing respect.
"Generals and soldiers, the Tatars are under heavy troops, and we should serve the Celestial Empire. There are 70,000 people in the Gyeonggi army, and the general will go here to lead 50,000 troops. Now, each part of the camp will start at Yin time tomorrow. Qin Chaoding shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, a lieutenant strode to Qin Chaoding, knelt on one knee and hugged his fist and said, "General, this is not allowed. The generals of the Gyeonggi army should not refuse their duty to defend their country, but general, you can't go.
The speaking captain is Qin Chaoding's confidant. His voice is extremely low, and it can be seen that he is an extremely cautious person. Qin Chaoding frowned and patted him on the shoulder.
"Nian Zhi, this is the emperor's will, which cannot be questioned."
The captain, who was called Nianzhi, was quite anxious. He looked around and said, "General, the deputy general of Yanmenguan is the prince. Now if you go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of Tartar. Why don't you go on an expedition for you?
The Qin Dynasty was determined to look into the distance with complicated eyes. The captain no longer spoke, but waited quietly.
"Nianzhi, even if you go to ask for an order, but if you can get a vanguard with the army, you can't get this position. Don't say anything more. The prince won't go too far. He will also prevent him from falling behind.
"But, General..."
Qin Chaoding waved his hand to block the words of his loyal subordinates, and then silently turned to the high platform. What he didn't tell Nianzhi was that there were some things that others could not replace.
However, Su Nianzhi has been following the Qin Dynasty for many years. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, there is no need to travel to the mountains. He turned around and rode out of the barracks when the Qin Dynasty was not paying attention and went to the palace.
Although he was a small lieutenant, he destroyed the thieves, and the emperor rewarded him with one thing. Seeing the emperor's things, it's like you came in person. It's no problem to exchange for a meeting.
Su Nian went to the door of the palace and took out the jade pendant that had been treasured in his arms. The guards recognized the royal things and sent people to the inner palace to report. But the news did not reach the emperor, but a father-in-law came forward and led Su Nian straight into the palace.
Along the way, Su Nianzhi turned a blind eye to the scenery around the palace, and his tight arms showed his nervousness.
"Fath-in-law, where are you going?" After walking a long distance, the surroundings gradually became colder. Su Nianzhi hesitated for a long time and asked.
The father-in-law threw the dust in his hand and snorted coldly: "The family was ordered to take you to see your master. Why did you ask so much? There is no rule at all.
"Yes, yes."
"Bear by the way, I heard that you want to ask for an order to guard the Yanmen Pass?"
Seeing his father-in-law's question, Su Nian did not dare not answer: "Yes."
"Why?"
Su Nianzhi was a little embarrassed and said slowly in his father-in-law's cold eyes: "My humble mother and wife died at the hands of the Tatar people."
Su Nianzhi's words are true. His mother and wife were killed on the way, and they were indeed under the hands of the Tatari people who sneaked into the Celestial Empire. If it hadn't been for the help of Qin Chaoding, his only daughter would have died.
So, in any case, he has to change the safety of the Qin Dynasty.
When the father-in-law heard the words, he walked faster and faster, and Su Nianzhi had to keep up.
......
When the Qin Dynasty found that Su Nianzhi was not in the barracks, it was too late. He went crazy and rode his horse to the city, but the horse left at the gate of the palace told him that Su Nianzhi would never come back.
Qin Dynasty clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, and the anger turned into strength and rubbed against the knife body. Soon, blood fell on the knife handle, and a little scarlet fell along the road...
Su Nianzhi, forgive me for saying nothing. You shouldn't go. How can they make you bad... Now, what Qin Dynasty can do for you in this life is to take care of your daughter.
The moisture in his eyes was dried by the night wind, and Qin Chaoding kicked the horse's belly and headed west of the city.
......
Qin Si, who had never been able to let go, stood in front of the general's mansion, holding a black fluffy cloak in his hand and looking forward to the distance.
Dad, Dad.
Qin Si forced himself to push back the tears in his eyes, and his clenched lips were silent and firm.
Half an hour passed, and the heavy sound of horses' hoofs echoed on the road, and Qin Si was relieved. He picked up his skirt and walked down the steps to meet him.
"Dad."
"Oh..."
The horse raised its hooves and took another step forward before stopping. Qin Si fixed his eyes. There was still a horse behind Qin Chaoding, and there was a woman lying on his stomach, who was slightly older than Qin Si.
"Ali, this is Yiqing, and you will be your sister in the future. Do you understand?" The Qin Dynasty set his horse and went to Qin Si and told him carefully.
Qin Si looked at the woman named Yiqing, with a pretty face and a very ordinary appearance, but those eyes can make people feel a lot of pity.
"A Li understands."
Qin Si answered and handed over the cloak in his hand to Qin Chaoding, and then went to the horse where Yiqing sat down and gently stroked the horse's back. The horse seemed to be spiritual and actually bent down. Yiqing grabbed the reins in panic, and Qin Si stepped forward to hold her hand: "Sister Yiqing, get off the horse..."
When Qin Si saw his father's injured hand, he knew that this imperial edict was too dangerous. And the woman brought back by her father is very similar to Captain Su, and she can naturally guess the identity of Yiqing.
Yiqing nodded to Qin Si and climbed off the horse with a little embarrassment.
"Tianguan, take your sister to my yard to rest first, and I'll be back in a minute." Qin Si asked Tianguan to take Yiqing back, but he stayed.
When he turned around, the Qin Dynasty was holding out the black cloak in his hand, and the upper feet were not flat. At first glance, it was from the hands of Qin Si.
"Dad, A Li did this for the first time and didn't do it well. I hope Dad doesn't laugh at it." Qin Si's eyebrows jumped away with dexterity.
Qin Dynasty's heart softened, and love gushed out of his eyes, firmly wrapping Qin Si in it.
"A Li did it, how could Dad laugh..."
Somehow, there is a deep sense of separation between father and daughter. Qin Si couldn't help hearing the words and rushed forward into Qin Chaoding's arms. The tears fell down and became beads in series.
Qin Chaoding stretched out his hand to hug Qin Si, and his throat was also a little choked: "A Li, when Dad left, the general's mansion will rely on you."
"A Li knows." Qin Si stretched out his hand and took Qin Chaoding's injured hand: "Dad, is there something wrong with Captain Su?"
This question broke the sadness of Qin Chaoding. He took a step back, and the mood in his eyes changed, leaving only arrogantly: "Have you guessed it?"
"Sister Yiqing looks very similar to Captain Su..."
"Since you have thought about it, you should know that you should not tell anyone about it, and I don't want you to remember it again. From now on, Yiqing is your cousin. Qin Chaoding closed his eyes. When he opened his mouth again, his eyes were cold, his lips were like a blade, and he spoke cold words, which was very different from his loving father just now. Qin Si was stunned and agreed, and he didn't wait to continue to speak. Qin Chao must have turned over and left the servant wind dust to cover Qin Si's eyes.
Dad, cherish it all the way... Qin Si said gently to the distant figure.
Qin Si closed the door of the general's mansion with great effort, and her back inadvertently became straighter and straighter. Her father was not here. She wanted to keep the general's mansion and could not give others a little space. When she wanted her father to come back, this was still the beautiful general's mansion.
Back to her room, Yiqing was sitting in her room. Under the candlelight, Qin Si's face was like a ghost, pale as paper. She asked Tianguan to guard at the door and sit opposite Yiqing.
"Sister Yiqing, the general's mansion will be your home in the future. If you clean up the room next door, you can live in peace."
Yi Qingyu's melancholy spread at the moment she saw Qin Si spread. She asked anxiously, "Where is my father now?" Is there something wrong with him?
Qin Si restrained the flash of surprise. Is it really father and daughter? However, she couldn't say a cruel word to Yiqing's expectant eyes, so she had to lower her eyes to suppress the sourness of the tip of her nose and smile, "What did Sister Yiqing say? My father took the soldiers of the Gyeonggi army to Yanmen to fight against the enemy. My father is outside. Naturally, I hope we are safe. Recently, there has been some chaos in the capital. It's too unsafe for you to live alone. If you stay in the general's mansion, Captain Su is also much relieved, isn't he?"
Originally, Yiqing just felt that General Qin's behavior was too unexpected. Seeing that Qin Si said something bad, she was no longer suspicious. She smiled at Qin Si with apologies. At this moment, Qin Si had a lot of emotions. If it is Qin Si who knows nothing, will it be much easier in his heart...
