The morning light of the next day was slightly dew, and as far as the eye could see, the sky and the earth were covered with white frost flowers. The children had not yet woken up, and the backyard of the palace was quiet. Xiao Ying had just ordered people to prepare breakfast in the dining hall when she saw Yang Ji coming in, who was steaming all over, and he was holding a long and long handful in his hand. A big Mo Dao.
This unbladed Damo knife is heavier than the Toujia Wujinshan. It is a weapon specially used by Yang Ji to weaken his arms. When Xiao Ying was not pregnant, she could not lift it even with all her strength. , but Yang Ji was holding it with one hand as if it were nothing at the moment.
Seeing her husband holding a big knife and steaming all over his body, Xiao Ying knew that he had undergone another strenuous training.
She went up to meet her husband and saw her husband gently placing the big knife on the ground. She asked curiously: "Mr. Lang, how much does this big knife weigh?"
"One hundred pounds!" Yang Ji stood up and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious! By the way, did you use such a heavy weapon on the battlefield?" Xiao Ying looked at her husband's face and looked at him, thinking he was ready for a bath.
"It makes me move, but I can't hold on for long. And the weight-bearing and endurance of the war horse don't allow me to carry such a heavy weapon." Yang Ji walked to the dining table and said: "But if I insist on using such heavy weapons for a long time, my arm strength will be weakened. The strength of the arm will increase dramatically, and if it is replaced by the Toujia Wujinshu during combat, the strength, speed, explosive power, and endurance will all reach a terrifying level."
"Can Lang Jun defeat General Xue Ju now?" Xiao Ying also knew that Xue Ju was the most powerful among the Liangzhou army, so she asked again.
"I can't beat him." Yang Ji answered frankly, and then said grandly: "What's more, I am the commander of the first army, and sitting in the middle army is what I have to do. If I charge into the battle like a mighty general, then I If you just don't do your job properly, then I am seriously derelict in my duty and make fun of the lives of the soldiers." Listening to these shameless and shameless words, Xiao Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband and was too lazy to speak anymore: she had not seen Yang Ji's performance in the war. , and his heroic appearance on the battlefield, but I also heard Liu Rumei and others say that Yang Ji was usually very normal and looked like a coach.
However, once on the battlefield, he is stronger than anyone else and more reckless than the so-called reckless man. When Xiao Ying saw him sitting down, she picked up a spoon and scooped him a bowl of fragrant Bijing chicken porridge, and asked with concern: "Lang Jun, are you still at home in the military camp today?"
"Steamed cake" steamed buns, with a vague smile, said: "Go to the military camp today to see the soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, and ask Yang Shanhui to take them back to Zhangye tomorrow." Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "So fast?"
"Liangzhou gets colder earlier than the Central Plains." Yang Ji swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "Normal marching also takes a long time. By the time they arrive in Zhangye, it is already the cold season. They should go back early so that they can reunite with their families earlier. . I don’t know when I can go back, so I asked Yang Shanhui to prepare heating coal for the army." Coal had become a heating material in the Han Dynasty, but people burned it in the wrong way and the exhaust was not done properly, so Poisoning incidents abound, so people abandon them. Now with the introduction of new stoves and heated kangs, the problem of poisoning has been fundamentally solved.
Today's famous families and dignitaries are using coal in various ways. For example, Guanglu Temple, which was responsible for the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and heating of the palace, ground coal and bamboo charcoal into powder, mixed it with loess and spices such as agarwood, musk, and borneol, and then used molds to make various kinds of incense charcoal. , for royal use.
Although the military camp is not so particular, the quantity of coal must keep up. Otherwise, the soldiers will wake up with frostbite at night.
After the couple had breakfast, they took a leisurely walk in the garden. Xiao Ying is wearing a light yellow dress
"Maternity clothes." She wore a bamboo hairpin in her hair. Her round, jade-like face showed a sweet smile. After walking for more than a hundred steps, she suddenly thought of something. She raised her eyes to look at her husband beside her and chuckled: "Mr. Jun, when I mentioned martial arts just now, I remembered something." Yang Ji looked at her swollen belly and said with a smile, "Do you think you and the baby together can easily defeat me?"
"How can you calculate it like this?" Xiao Ying sensed her husband's teasing intentions, pinched him gently, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal! It's just that Xiaoguo Army Commander Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin came a few times to inquire. Cheng Yaojin's current situation." After a pause, he added: "I don't know them, but Rumei and Aying said that although they are highly skilled in martial arts, they are smart. Lang Jun has helped them and recruited them many times, but But they were ungrateful and self-righteous. They also said that on the surface they were trying to find out about their old friends, but in fact they saw that their old friends were doing well but they were not as good as they were, so they wanted to be trusted by the husband."
"Rumei and Aying are right." Yang Ji also didn't expect that these two people not only did not participate in the Eastern Expedition, but also visited many times. If Xiao Ying had not mentioned it, he would have forgotten Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin.
Xiao Ying asked casually: "Ignore them in the future?"
"Don't worry about it!" Yang Ji nodded and said, "I have saved their lives and given them many opportunities, but they are too self-righteous and I don't like it!" Xiao Ying knew Qin Qiong and others from Liu Rumei and Pei Shuying. During the relationship with her husband, she was surprised that her husband had saved their lives and was in a high-ranking position.
But these people actually refused the husband's kind solicitation. If only this was the case, it would make her think highly of them and think they were talented and of noble character.
But now, it's here again, and it seems very despicable and ridiculous. Seeing that her husband didn't take it to heart, he put it aside and continued, "Shiming also mentioned a warrior. He said that this person was asked by Lang Jun to find him, and now he has been found."
"Who is it?" Yang Ji couldn't remember who he asked Yang Zhao to find.
"Wang Yong, Wang Bodang." Xiao Ying said: "According to Shi Ming, this man was ranked among the top ten in the second list at the first martial arts examination, and later went to Liangzhou to join the army. Later he participated in Tuyuhun with Daliang In the battle, he was promoted to captain for his merit; now, he is following Lang Jun to fight Goguryeo. As for what he is doing now, I don’t know." Yang Ji also remembered that this was when Yang Zhao went to Liangzhou to reward the army. , I mentioned it myself, but no one thought that Wang Bodang had already gone to Liangzhou to join the army.
This man was the only person in Wagang who valued love and righteousness. He knew that he was going to die, but he still gave up the post of general conferred by Li Tang, and followed Li Mi on the road to death without hesitation.
Such a loyal and unparalleled person is rare in history, and he likes it!
"This man is extremely loyal and loyal. I hope he didn't die in Liaodong. I'll go check it out later." Just after Yang Ji finished speaking, he saw Qiu Shui coming quickly and said from a distance: "Your Majesty, Madam, the concierge said It was the saint who sent someone to invite the king to the palace to attend the court." Yang Ji and Xiao Ying were stunned when they heard this: Yang Guang had said that Yang Ji would have three days off yesterday afternoon, but early this morning, he actually asked him to go to the palace. Chao, this is too exaggerated, right?
"Do you know what issues will be discussed today?" Yang Ji asked. Qiu Shui said: "I don't know what I am doing."
"Mr. Lang, the saints have come to invite you, so let's go and listen! The court meeting is over, and it's not too late to go to the military camp." Xiao Ying was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect the emperor to be so uncouth. After thinking about it, she said again : "Anyway, you agreed to Princess Leping and Princess Nanyang and brought this matter up by the way."
"Yeah!" Yang Ji also thought the same thing. The imperial court would inevitably affect the courtiers' daily work. The issues of the court meeting were usually distributed to various ministries on the first day, and the issues could be discussed the next day. Therefore, the court meeting usually did not last long. It doesn’t take long to listen.
"What kind of attire will the king wear to the court? Is it a prince's attire or...?" Qiu Shui asked next to him.
Compared with the official uniforms with fish tags, jade pendants, and jade swords, the prince's clothes are simpler. When Yang Ji heard this, he said without hesitation: "The prince's clothes are enough, go get ready!"
"Here!" Qiu Shui retreated in response. Yang Ji came close to kiss Xiao Ying and said, "Madam, I'm going to court. You will ask Chuchen to talk to Chengyuan later, and ask Chengyuan to find out Wang Bodang. This person will be of great use." Xiao Ying blushed and said, "Okay!"
