"...I want to imitate Taizong and Xuanzong, and lead the military expedition in person to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. However, my ability is limited, and instead of being unable to boost the power of the army, I have caused many soldiers to lose their lives in vain;
Every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night, and I regret it so much;
I am ashamed of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and I am ashamed of my ancestors..."
Li Qing recited it with great emotion.
"Look what I'm doing, writing!" Li Qing looked embarrassed on the spot when he saw Zhu Qizhen stopped writing.
Zhu Qizhen was speechless: "Sir, let's just say, can you give me a little bit of face?"
"Face?" Li Qing sneered: "Now you know how to save face?"
"That battle was my fault, but I was also punished, wasn't I? You stabbed me so many times, so... just give me some face." Zhu Qizhen said bravely.
"Your face was already disgraced on the way to the Tatar camp. How can you still have any face?" Li Qing said without any doubt, "Either you, or you can take your wife back with you. You choose one."
Zhu Qizhen said bitterly: "Okay, I'll write."
"That's right." Li Qing cleared his throat and continued to speak passionately, "I am stubborn and have no face to face my ancestors. I heard that my virtuous brother succeeded me and appointed loyal and virtuous ministers to turn the tide and support the generals of the building. pour;
I am very relieved that the Ming Dynasty has a virtuous brother, the Ming Dynasty is very lucky, the country is very lucky, and the people are very lucky;
I feel that I am embarrassed to hold such a great responsibility, and my worthy brother will inherit the great authority. This is God’s will and the guidance of my ancestors. I hope that my worthy brother will not betray God’s grace or betray his ancestors..."
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhu Qizhen threw away his pen and said in a muffled voice: "It's done."
"Then I have to check." Li Qing stepped forward and reviewed it word for word. After half a quarter of an hour, he nodded and said: "Okay, you have nothing to do. Go back and hug your wife."
"..." Zhu Qizhen stood up and left with a dark face.
"Wait a minute."ΟиЪ.ōΓＧ
"What's wrong?" Zhu Qizhen shouted.
"Give me the Emperor's Xinbao." Li Qing said, "I have to leave right away. The Emperor has sent someone to pick you up in Mobei. I have to rush back as soon as possible."
Zhu Qizhen paused, his tone softened, and he nodded: "I'll get it right away."
~
Soon, Zhu Qizhen left and returned and handed the imperial seal to Li Qing.
"In such a hurry?"
"I can't wait to be in a hurry." Li Qing smiled helplessly and complained, "I've been in such a hurry this past year."
Zhu Qizhen said with a stern look on his face: "Thank you for your hard work. It should be fine after this time."
"I hope so." Li Qing sighed, rolled up the dried cotton cloth, and walked out.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to the old man?" Zhu Qizhen came out and asked.
"Yes." No matter how anxious Li Qing was, he didn't waste a few words to say goodbye to his master.
Zhang Ruosu was used to it, so he just said: "I know, let's go, let's go."
Zhu Yunwen, on the other hand, felt quite reluctant to leave: "It's getting dark, let's leave tomorrow."
"Time is tight, so I won't stay overnight." Li Qing smiled and said, "Please pay attention to the servants who have met me and don't let them talk nonsense."
Zhu Yunwen nodded: "You come here often, and they don't know what's going on. I'll transfer them to a restaurant outside the city later. They'll be fine."
"Yes." Li Qing turned back to the little old man doing Tai Chi and said, "Master, I'm leaving."
"Go ahead, I'll find you in two months." Zhang Sloppy kept his hands on his hands, "Don't run around anymore."
Li Qing nodded: "I understand, Master."
…
Li Qing left the city at night and ran all the way.
The next day, I got a horse and went on the road while recovering my strength.
Seven days later, I left the customs, found the horse I had left behind, and rode on to the grassland.
The route is fixed, and it is not difficult for Li Qing to find the large army.
It only took him two days and one night to see the flag of the Ming army from a distance.
In order to prevent mistakes, Li Qing deliberately spared some time and spent most of the day before arriving at He Yong's camp.
When we arrived, it was dark.
We were not far from the Ming border, and everyone was less vigilant. There were bonfires burning everywhere in the camp, and the atmosphere was particularly peaceful.
Fortunately, everything is within plan.
Li Qing could see that these people really believed in He Yong, so the closer they got to the Ming Dynasty, the more relaxed they became.
"It's great, it finally went smoothly for once." Li Qing sighed.
Not long after, He Yong came over in a hurry after getting the news.
Seeing that Li Qing was really back, he let out a long sigh of relief and said, "You're back, I haven't slept well at all during this period."
He smiled bitterly and said: "My direct subordinates all believe that it is certain that they will go to Ming Dynasty to live a good life. Only I know...it is not certain yet."
"It's certain now." Li Qing said with a smile: "I'm back now, you can finally have a good sleep, right?"
He Yong smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have to drink some tonight."
"No problem." Li Qing nodded, "Do you have any wine?"
"I kept two jars of the wine that was sent there last time." He Yong said with a smile, "I thought I would drink it to celebrate when you come back. If you don't come back, I will be a drunkard."
Li Qing laughed: "How can it be so serious?"
"You're back now, so let's not talk about that. You won't come home until you're drunk tonight." He Yonghao said angrily.
"You won't come home until you're drunk." Li Qing laughed.
Both of them were relaxed physically and mentally. They drank bowl after bowl of wine until midnight before falling asleep.
…
The next day, when Li Qing was awakened by He Yong, the army had already set up camp and was preparing to leave.
He Yong is the leader. He woke up early and said with a smile: "Seeing that you were so sleepy, I didn't call you during dinner and left half a leg of lamb for you."
"Thank you." Li Qing hardly ate anything the whole way back, so he took the leg of lamb and gnawed it with relish.
It is now late March, the time of spring, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and the water and grass are plentiful.
Li Qing's relaxed mood was even more joyful, enjoying the spring breeze blowing on his face, his face full of comfort.
After going back this time, I don’t have to run around and be tired anymore.
Speaking of which, it was not easy for Li Qing for nearly a year and a half, from the time he went to Jiaozhi at the end of the year in the 13th year of Zhengtai to the first year of Jingtai.
Now, finally, the dawn has dawned. After working hard for a while, I can take a rest.
He had thought about it, and after finishing his work, he picked up his godson. The master was there at that time, so he could enjoy himself.
Oops, I should have asked the master to bring the little guy. What a mistake... Li Qing slapped his forehead and secretly regretted it.
…
After staying in the Heyong camp for several days, Li Qing returned to the Ming army camp as the January period came.
When Shi Biao saw him coming back, he was finally not bored anymore and bothered him all day long.
Soon, Li Qing couldn't stand it anymore and continued to enlighten Shi Biao.
Soon, Shi Biao couldn't stand it any longer: "Stop it now, I can't digest it. Give me some time."
The course was rushed and Shi Biao had poor foundation. What Li Qing taught made it increasingly difficult for him.
The more I listen, the more I feel like my brain is running out of ideas.
Li Qing understood, who has not been a bad student?
"Do you want to learn martial arts?"
"Are you willing to teach me?" Shi Biao was surprised. He admired Li Qing, partly because Li Qing had more personality than him, but mostly because of Li Qing's strength.
He had fully experienced the battle to defend the capital, it was simply...inhuman!
"Of course, didn't I teach you before?" Li Qing said with a smile.
Shi Biao scratched his head and nodded with a naive smile: "Learn, only fools don't learn."
After a pause, he suddenly said seriously: "I will worship you as my teacher."
"This... doesn't need to be so formal, right?"
"You dislike it?"
"That's not true."
"That's enough." Shi Biao said: "To learn a craftsmanship, you need to learn from others. Although I don't know a few big words, I still know this truth."
After saying that, he lifted up his hem and kowtowed three times.
Li Qing was a little speechless: It's really... If you do this, I have to give you a greeting gift.
There was really nothing he could offer, so Li Qing simply said: "I'll give you...a word."
"Master, please speak."
"Learn to control your emotions!" Li Qing taught. "Only by controlling your emotions can you be rational and avoid being deceived and used by others."
Shi Biao nodded slightly: "Master said yes."
Li Qing always felt a little uncomfortable when he heard people call him master, "Let's call him sir."
"also."
Shi Biao geared up excitedly, "Sir, where do we start learning?"
"Hmm...what weapons are you good at?" Li Qing asked.
"Knife!" Shi Biao drew out the knife from his waist, his eyes burning.
"Then I'll teach you a sword technique." Li Qing took the sword from him, "Look at it carefully and learn it carefully."
The weapon Li Qing uses most is a gun, but he knows everything. He has participated in large-scale battles too many times.
Even though they are all incarcerated soldiers, they are dismissed every time. This experience is not shared by everyone.
The moves are simple and clear, yet super practical.
In the following time, Li Qing caught Shi Biao practicing wildly when he was not marching. This way, Shi Biao became more honest when he was on the road.
Even if I am tired, I don’t want to say more.
Huh~ I finally had some time to relax... Li Qing rested his head on the horse's butt and continued to enjoy the scenery.
