On the other side, Mei Shuqing followed Ji Rong out of Longhu Camp. After entering the city, a carriage came to pick him up. Only when he arrived at the inn did he realize that it was his father who wanted to see him.
After having dinner with his father in the inn, he said to his father: "I have something to ask you."
Mei Zongzheng knew his temper and was never willing to ask for help, let alone let him help. He had been very stubborn since he was a child.
But he also guessed what his son wanted to do, and said: "You want me to intercede with the emperor and let him take you to the border?"
"You know." Mei Yunfeng didn't expect that his father knew everything. He felt that his father didn't care about him and only cared about the people of the world.
"I am your father. When you wanted to enter Longhu Camp, I objected, but you insisted on going in." Mei Zongzheng said, "Next month is your mother's birthday, and I am also planning to let you go back to visit your mother and younger sister."
"You're not going back." Mei Yunfeng felt a little resentful in his heart. There were wars in this world every year, and it seemed that the Northern Dynasty's army could not survive without Mei Zongzheng.
Mei Zongzheng has not taken care of his family in these years, but he always brings a lot of money back, and his family's life is considered easy.
"The world has not settled down, so the emperor needs me. When the war breaks out, as long as I am here, there will be hope for the injured soldiers. Feng'er, you are still too young. You don't understand the despair on the line between life and death. Dad has seen too much. It’s because I’m afraid that I’m not capable enough to save them.”
"I understand, if the world is unstable, you can't go home, dad." So he wants to be a general, never a doctor. His life and death must be in his own hands.
There was not much tenderness between father and son when the two met. Mei Yunfeng turned to leave: "I'm going to recover first. I will be on duty tonight. You follow the emperor to the border. Pay more attention to your health and don't rush up if you are in danger." , they need you, and my mother and sister also need you." He also needs a father.
He knew that he could not leave the Longhu Camp without the emperor's permission. The military regulations of the Longhu Camp were very strict.
"I'll go talk to the emperor, just wait for the news." Mei Zongzheng finally said softly. If he didn't let him go out to practice, he would never be convinced and he would never know what fighting was.
He also had selfish motives and wanted to save his son's life.
Just as Mei Yunfeng was about to leave, Mei Zongzheng said again: "My father has arranged a marriage for you."
Mei Yunfeng stopped, his expression slightly cold, "Just push it, I don't need it."
General Ji mentioned this matter to him on the way here just now, saying that he wanted to betroth his youngest daughter to him. Not to mention that he had accomplished nothing, just looking at the unruly and willful man at the funeral of Duke Wei last time. He couldn't stand the temper of the rich daughter.
"It's this temper again. Last time the sister of General Wu's family asked me to propose marriage, you pushed her away..." Mei Zongzheng never thought about asking the youngest daughter of General Ji's family to be his daughter-in-law. Marry her with that kind of temper. The family suffers.
"I don't know how to marry." He said harsh words as soon as his temper got angry: "What if I die on the battlefield one day, wouldn't I harm someone else's daughter?"
Mei Zongzheng's throat moved, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say: "Okay, if you come back safely this time, your marriage will be settled."
Mei Yunfeng didn't answer and walked directly through the door. Mei Zongzheng shouted: "Remember her name is Wei Mingfeng. This bastard has a very stubborn temper. I really don't know who he followed."
