After Liu Yunqing lay down, he was thinking about how to leave the Hou Mansion. However, as I think about it, I unconsciously think of my close contact with Xia Jingyao during the day. Liu Yunqing was so upset that he neither thought of a way to leave nor had a good rest all night. However, it’s not like there’s no gain at all. Liu Yunqing figured out one thing. She didn't understand the soldiers before. Since she wanted to leave, she should know herself and the enemy.
Liu Yunqing thought about it and thought it would be most appropriate to ask Captain Sun. He Wu must know the most. But He Wu had to obey Xia Jingyao's orders at any time and could not leave for a long time. Besides, Captain Sun had followed her out several times, so he was familiar with her. So, after breakfast, Liu Yunqing asked Lian'er to call Captain Sun to Qingyun Courtyard.
"I've seen Madam. I wonder what your instructions are when Madam calls for your subordinates to come here?" Captain Sun saluted respectfully when he saw Liu Yunqing.
"Captain Sun, please sit down. I asked you to come here today. I don't have any instructions. I just want to know about your affairs." Liu Yunqing said with a smile on his face.
"Our affairs? I wonder what matters Madam is referring to?" Captain Sun did not sit down, but asked doubtfully.
"Just talk about it, such as the discipline of the army, your life in the military camp, and the battles you participated in. Just look at it and say whatever comes to mind." In fact, Liu Yunqing didn't know what he wanted to know specifically.
"On the first day when my subordinates joined the army, the superior told them: From the moment they stepped into the military camp, they should not regard themselves as living persons. In the military camp, there was no one's son, no one's husband, and no one Whose father is just a loyal soul to the country. Life in the military camp is boring and boring. Training lasts for more than six hours a day, and injuries are commonplace. Although it is hard and tiring, no one dares to slack off. Because if you don't work hard at ordinary times, you may lose your life on the battlefield.
Battles on the border often occur. Pao Ze, who trained and ate together one day, may turn into a cold corpse the next day. This is still a small friction in normal times. If there is a war, it will be even more cruel. The number of casualties in one day may be tens of thousands, and human life at this time is no different than a piece of grass. After staying in the military camp for a long time, many people hid their feelings. Not everyone is willing to bear the pain of loss again and again.
Paoze is a person who can always be trusted, a person to whom life can be entrusted. The reason why my subordinates can live to this day is because they are a robe Ze and they paid for it with their lives. His name is Cheng Tie, the son of a blacksmith. He is not tall but very strong and looks naive. He has no lofty ideals. He only hopes that when the war is over, he can go home and inherit his father's blacksmith shop, marry a wife, have a son, and live a simple life. However, he could never return home. When he realized that I was in danger, he resolutely blocked the spear behind me. I didn't even have time to listen to his last words, so I could only continue to kill the enemy. When I found him after the battle, his body was already cold.
On the battlefield, we rely on each other to achieve each other's success. My subordinates have been in the army for four years and have participated in hundreds of battles, big and small. The people around me have changed one after another. Some of them are gone before they can even remember their names. My heart is hardened, but my eyes still fill with tears.
In the battle of Hukou Pass, Lord Hou led 5,000 elite troops to raid the enemy commander's camp. After a night of fighting, the Hou Ye Formation beheaded the enemy's commander and killed more than 10,000 enemies, laying the foundation for the final victory. The results were huge, but so were the casualties. Of the five thousand elites, only 352 came back alive. All of these 352 people were injured. Nearly a hundred people were seriously injured and could not be saved. More than a hundred people were left with lifelong disabilities and sadly left the military camp. In this single battle, the Marquis had more than a dozen injuries on his body, and in the most serious places, the bones were visible.
The Marquis looks cold, but his heart is pure and kind. Mr. Hou entered the military camp since he was a child. What he saw most was blood and death, and he didn't feel much family affection. The subordinate asked his wife to give Mr. Hou a warm home. With his temperament, Mr. Hou would definitely not let his wife down. "At the end, Captain Sun knelt in front of Liu Yunqing.
"Captain Sun, please get up. Why did the Marquis grow up in a military camp? Where is his family?" Liu Yunqing has never heard anyone mention Xia Jingyao's family.
"My subordinates don't know the specifics. They only know that Mr. Hou has no close relatives in this world. If Madam wants to know, she can ask Captain He. Captain He is Mr. Hou's family general and should know about Mr. Hou's family affairs. "Captain Sun doesn't know much about Xia Jingyao's family.
"By the way, Captain Sun, who were the soldiers standing guard at the back door last night? Later, you ask them to come to Qingyun Courtyard." Liu Yunqing suddenly thought of the soldiers standing guard last night.
"Madam, they are just fulfilling their duties and have no intention of offending madam. If madam wants to punish, just punish the subordinates." Captain Sun naturally knows what happened last night.
"Captain Sun, get up quickly. I'm looking for them because of what happened last night, but I definitely don't want to punish them. Captain Sun, just don't worry, let them come in an hour. Captain Sun, please go down first." Liu Yunqing said to Sun The captain issued an eviction order.
"Yes, ma'am." Although Captain Sun didn't know what Liu Yunqing wanted to do, he could only agree. After saluting, Captain Sun left Qingyun Courtyard.
After Captain Sun left, Liu Yunqing whispered a few words to Lian'er. After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, Lian'er also left Qingyun Courtyard. Captain Sun left Qingyun Courtyard and immediately came to Jingyuan Courtyard and told Xia Jingyao what had just happened. Xia Jingyao also wanted to know what Liu Yunqing wanted to do, so he asked Captain Sun to do as Liu Yunqing ordered.
An hour later, the two soldiers who were on guard last night arrived at Qingyun Courtyard. Since the two of them knew that Liu Yunqing wanted to see them, they felt uneasy. If Liu Yunqing really punished them, they would have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky. After the two of them entered, Xia Jingyao and He Wu quietly came outside Qingyun Courtyard.
"My subordinates have met Madam." When the two saw Liu Yunqing, they bowed respectfully.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Liu Yunqing asked, looking at the two of them.
"I don't know," the two said in unison.
"Do you think that since I haven't married the Marquis yet, I am not the Marquis's wife, so I can't give you orders?" Liu Yunqing shouted angrily.
"My subordinates don't dare." Both of them began to sweat on their foreheads. They both said that the lady was kind and did not punish the servants. It seems that the rumors are not credible.
"I don't dare, and you don't dare. If you are more courageous, you will replace the Marquis." Liu Yunqing patted the table in front of him.
"My subordinates didn't dare." The two fell to their knees. Liu Yunqing's accusation against An was too great.
"Lian'er, bring the soup over here." Liu Yunqing said to Lian'er. Lian'er filled two bowls of soup and handed them to the two of them.
"Drink." Liu Yunqing said lightly.
The two of them looked at the soup in their hands, and then at each other. They both saw determination in each other's eyes. The two of them drank the soup almost at the same time. After finishing the drink, they threw the bowl down and looked as if they were dead.
