"If we say that the Xuance Army founded by His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince is truly our number one magic weapon in Dasheng!"
Mentioning this, the clerk was very enthusiastic, but he couldn't help but sigh with regret: "His Royal Highness was only eleven or twelve years old when he was still a prince. He went to the battlefield to train with the army. He was not afraid of life and death and did not care about his own life. Only then did he become such a soldier. God’s young prodigy, it’s a pity…”
When the tea soup is poured into the bowl, it makes a pleasant sound and is filled with hot steam.
Chang Suining looked at the hazy tea mist and continued: "More than ten years ago, it seemed that Xuance's army also fought against Beidi... I wonder what the result was?"
"More than ten years ago..." the man recalled. He was still very young and didn't remember much at that time, but after seeing what he had heard, he responded fluently: "Mr. Lang said that twelve years ago, General Chang Kuochang was the commander-in-chief. That critical battle? It was a great victory! That battle beat Beidi, who was originally arrogant, to the point where he knelt down and begged for mercy. He was torn into pieces, and he stayed at peace for many years."
Chang Suining slightly curved his mouth.
Big victory——
That's good and worth it.
"Speaking of that crucial battle, the reason for the complete victory was not only the bravery of Xuance's army, but also thanks to the heroic and righteous eldest princess of our Dasheng Dynasty..." The clerk said with emotion: "Currently, the war is going on. Her Royal Highness Princess Chongyue, who went to Beidi to get married, before the war——"
"Waiter, add more water, add more water!" a customer shouted loudly.
"I'm coming!"
The waiter left quickly holding the tea tray. Chang Suining sat there and raised his hand to pick up the tea bowl.
She probably knows better than anyone what the guy said before he could finish it.
It’s just that in the blink of an eye, it has been twelve years.
She looked out the window at the long street again.
The Xuance army just now was obviously the scouts who opened the way to report the news, and the red satin tied on the military flag was a symbol of victory.
This is a victory in the battle, and we must return to the court.
Passing through Hezhou and passing through Shannanxi Road, it was probably the war in the south.
The southern border has never been stable, with constant wars.
But winning a battle is always a happy thing.
Chang Sui Ning raised his head to drink tea and looked out the window at the long street with people coming and going, curiosity gradually growing in his eyes.
How could she not be curious? Twelve years had been enough for many new things to happen that she had not expected.
For example, what she is most curious about right now is——
"I wonder who the general is commanding the Xuance Army now?"
She ordered two more plates of snacks, and when the waiter brought them, she asked the question.
"Of course it's Governor Cui Jing Cui!"
Facing the waiter's "How come you don't even know this" look in his eyes, Chang Suining understood clearly - it seemed that this Cui Jing was quite famous and prestigious.
But, Cui Jing...
Chang Sui Ning recited the name in his heart, but felt like he had heard it somewhere, but had no impression of it.
But since his surname is Cui, how can he easily join the martial arts?
He couldn't help but ask: "How old is this Governor Cui now?"
The waiter replied: "He is only twenty-two, but he is still young. Moreover, Governor Cui was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, which is unparalleled. He is also the eldest grandson of the eldest son——"
Chang Suining even felt strange.
Twenty-two years old... Then when she died, this Cui Jing was only ten years old.
She rarely stayed in Beijing, so it was normal that she had never heard of this person.
It's just that the Cui family of Qinghe is the head of the noble clan in the world and the most arrogant. Although there are many officials and important positions in the family, they must be civil servants in the Qing Dynasty. However, the court once offered the Cui family the position of leader and prime minister, but Cui Ji didn't even bother to pay attention to it. , how can you let your direct grandson serve in the military and work for the court now?
Can't the Cui family decline to this point in just twelve years?
But these noble clans, even if they are temporarily in decline, they still have to maintain their integrity——
This matter of Cui Jing commanding the Xuance Army is really weird no matter how you think about it.
"This battle with the Southern Barbarians was fought by Governor Cui and General Chang Da for nearly two years. Now they finally returned to the court victorious." The man said, feeling a little excited and fascinated: "The triumphant victory The master may have to pass through our Hezhou, and maybe he can catch a glimpse of Governor Cui in a few days!"
Is Da Chang also among the army returning to the DPRK this time?
Chang Suining's expression also looked forward to it.
She hasn't seen Da Chang for a long time.
Not only had the past twelve years passed in a blink of an eye, but before these twelve years, she had not seen Da Chang and the others for a long time.
The anticipation of meeting her old friend allowed her to ask the question that she most wanted to know but subconsciously wanted to avoid——
"Who is the current ruler of Dasheng...who is your majesty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter who was smiling just now looked confused and shocked.
Chang Suining was not surprised to be treated as a fool.
No problem.
Anyway, she won't be here tomorrow.
"Of course it's the Holy Book..."
The waiter said a year name that Chang Sui Ning had never heard of.
Since you haven't heard of it, it's probably not the Li Bing of twelve years ago.
Who is it?
Chang Suining asked: "Tianhou Mingshi?"
"Of course..." the man lowered his voice: "But the saint is just acting behind the curtain now... After His Highness the Crown Prince is able to manage the government, he will naturally..."
However, such matters were definitely not something he could discuss arbitrarily, so he found an excuse to go to work in the middle of the conversation.
Chang Sui Ning narrowed his eyes, the light and dark in his eyes were uncertain.
Holy emperor.
really.
Mingshi, she has indeed become the master of Dasheng Jiangshan as she wished.
After having a cup of tea, her mood gradually calmed down.
The news in the teahouse was always informed and complicated. She listened quietly until it was getting dark, then she put down her tea money and left.
"Lang Jun, it's getting late, are you hungry?" The boy followed her and said, "I just heard them say in the teahouse that there is a roast chicken shop ahead -"
"I won't go." Chang Sui Ning said, "There are some who don't want money."
The boy quickly understood - yes, the food in the other courtyard is rich in meat and they don’t charge the girl any money!
So... is this the reason why the girl agreed to stay here temporarily?
At this moment, looking at the back in front of him, the boy suddenly realized.
"Do you have a name?" Chang Suining asked casually.
The boy thought for a moment, lowered his head and shook his head.
It was true, but he didn't want to mention it.
"Please Sir, please get one for me." He whispered hopefully.
Chang Sui Ning slightly turned her head to look at him. Under the dusk, the eleven or twelve year old boy's round eyes were clear and innocent, and his eyelashes were thick and fluttering. It suddenly reminded her of the time when she was the closest to her in the world and the one she was born with. The boy who is closely connected.
His heart dropped slightly, causing a dull pain. Chang Suining turned his head and looked forward.
After a moment, she said: "Let's call her A Che."
…
"Oh? I went out—"
"Yes, my subordinates had no reason to stop them, so they sent someone to follow and look after them secretly." Chang Ji was reporting to Wei Shuyi, who had just returned from outside, "I went out after lunch, but came back when it was time for dinner. , the timing was very well timed.”
Wei Shuyi said "Hey": "Why does it sound like they are using my other courtyard as a canteen?"
"It's not impossible." Changji said with reasonable suspicion: "The servant girl said that this Chang family lady especially likes to eat meat, and her appetite is not inferior to that of men."
It is common for ordinary people to eat meat once a month. The poorer people have to wait until the New Year and the holidays to have meat to eat. This young lady from the Chang family must have been hungry for a long time after being abducted. She must have spotted her husband here. There are many stupid people in this place.
After thinking about this, Changji's mood was a little complicated: "There are young ladies everywhere who covet my husband, and they covet his flesh...this is the first time I've seen them."
I didn’t know whether I should be happy or something else.
Wei Shuyi closed a folded official document and said with a smile: "This is very good. Before returning to the capital, I can raise him to be more mellow. When I have business with Duke Yu and General Chang, I can also gain more favors. Speaking of which... General Chang It's probably time for Cui Jing to march here, well, I have to work harder to feed him more, I don't have much time left."
Changji's mouth twitched.
So, the situation is quite urgent?
Thinking of how today Zhao Fu's fat and big-eared son cried out and confessed, and even complained to him, saying that he had been tricked and teased, and that the miserable state of the Zhoujia Village couple's half-dead state was not his fault, Wei Shuyi then asked, "Has Madam Chang ever mentioned that she wants to see me?"
Mentioning this, Changji straightened his back: "My subordinate did not give her a chance to mention this matter. I explained to her that Lang Jun was busy with official business and was not in another courtyard, and there was no need to thank Lang Jun. Don't worry, Lang Jun, my subordinate has already Nip all troubles in the cradle."
"..." Uncle Wei looked at him with a smile: "You know how to meddle in other people's business."
