The Great General and His Little Scholars

Jiang Tong stayed there in a daze, the red handprints were clearly visible on his fair cheeks.He stared at Liao Mingsi with wide eyes, and said in surprise, "Brother..."

He Qing was also frightened by Liao Mingsi's actions, and hurriedly said: "Mingsi, don't be rude."

Liao Mingsi said coldly: "Mother, how long are you going to be patient?" After saying that, he looked at the chief of the hussars: "My lord is the inner court hussars?"

The man was taken aback by Liao Mingsi's actions just now, and now he asked a question, and then hurriedly replied: "Young Master, I'm the next Hussar Guard Zhonglang General Zhao Qun."

"Master Zhao, I made you laugh." Liao Mingsi said angrily, "my father is away all year round, and my mother takes care of everything in the general's mansion. She works hard. There are more than a hundred people in the family, and she has to worry about it alone."

"Father is dedicated to defending the country, but he is indifferent to his family members. It is a fact that everyone in the general's mansion knows that mother is alone in the vacant house, but she is virtuous and virtuous. Not only does she not care about it, but she also treats those concubines with courtesy and kindness."

"I thought that everything would be safe and sound, but I didn't expect that when my father came back this time, he brought Jiang Tong inexplicably, and insisted on asking his mother to stay and take care of him. He said that this was the son of his confidante outside. Next, I want him to be treated the same as me."

Liao Mingsi glared at Jiang Tong resentfully as he spoke: "Such a scoundrel shouldn't have stayed in the mansion. Since Mr. Zhonglang is here, let's take him away!"

These words made Zhao Qun's face embarrassed. He came here because he heard from Miss Cheng that a child of unknown origin came to the general's mansion.

And when the hussar guards went to assassinate Master Tong's widow, the Jiang family, the entire army was wiped out.All the people at the scene were burned to ashes by a fire and could not be identified.Although it was judged from the jewelry that there was Jiang's body in it, it was impossible to determine whether the child was dead.

Zhao Qun, who was eager to do meritorious deeds, also rushed over immediately when he heard some troubles. There was no evidence, but he thought that Jiang Tong was just a child, and Liao Shan happened to be out again.As long as I cheated him, I would probably give him a full account.

But now that Liao Mingsi said this, Zhao Qun also became confused.The Liao Mingsi in front of him was only about ten years old, and he was still a child.Such things as framing his father and discrediting the general's mansion would never be something a child could do.

Zhao Qun laughed dryly and said, "Young Master, it's not good for you to say such things about your father. You must know that your father is a great general in the dynasty, and it is impossible to justify using his illicit son to persecute his wife."

As soon as the words fell, He Qing sighed, covering his face and sobbing: "My lord, the general's mansion has never been shameless. I naturally want to hide it, but Ming Si has always been worried about it. Now that I say these words, I still make my lord feel ashamed." I laughed."

Zhao Ran didn't expect He Qing to say the same thing, now it's really hard to ride a tiger.If it is said that Liao Mingsi might lie, how could He Qing, a noble lady after an official, pour such dirty water on herself for no reason?

Seeing how wronged she was crying, Zhao Ran couldn't stay any longer, so he stood up angrily and said, "Ma'am, this is a housework for you. The general is still fighting outside. You are a large number of virtuous and virtuous adults. Just wait a little longer."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye, and led the people to leave in a hurry.

Seeing them leave, Liao Mingsi immediately stepped forward to look at Jiang Tong's face and said, "Let me see if it's swollen."

At a glance, the tall five red handprints were anxious for a moment, and he picked up Jiang Tong's hand and said, "I was too anxious just now, for fear that the fellow would see the truth and be more ruthless. You beat me now. return."

Jiang Tong hastily withdrew his hands and said, "I know that my brother is doing it for my own good, so why would I hit you again?"

He Qing looked at the appearance of the two, sighed softly and said to the nanny: "You take Jiang Tong back and apply cold water on the face, it can reduce the swelling." The nanny agreed, and led Jiang Tong out, Liao Mingsi He also wanted to follow, but was stopped by He Qing.

Liao Mingsi was worried about Jiang Tong's injury, and said hastily: "Mother, if you have any orders, tell them as soon as possible, and I will agree to them."

He Qing's eyes flashed, and he said, "That's good. If that's the case, I'll send Jiang Tong off in three days."

"Departure?" Liao Mingsi thumped in his heart, "Where is Jiang Tong going?"

"Biaojiu in Binzhou."

"What?" Only now did Liao Mingsi understand that what his mother said a few days ago was not in vain.It turned out that everything had been prepared and Jiang Tong must be sent away.

Liao Mingsi only felt angry, and immediately said angrily: "What Bingzhou cousin, that cousin has never been with us, I have never seen it, why is mother lying? You just want to get rid of Jiang Tong's burden , I'm afraid he will bring trouble to our family!"

"Bold nonsense!" He Qing slapped the table and scolded angrily: "If your father and I are greedy for life and fear of death, why did you save Jiang Tong? You also know that almost no one in the capital knows the identity of Jiang Tong's mother and child. Save, who knows, do you think we saved Jiang Tong for the sake of face?"

Liao Mingsi knew that what his mother said was reasonable, but when he thought of being separated from Jiang Tong like this, and might never see each other again, Liao Mingsi felt as if he was fried in oil.

"Then... the mother told me, what is the name of the cousin in Binzhou? Or... let me see Jiang Tong off."

"Impossible." He Qing sternly said: "I discussed with your father. Biaojiu in Binzhou is where no one in the general's residence knows, so it's safe. If the Hussars get the news, unless they interrogate me and your father, otherwise there will be no news from any channel."

"You can also see what happened today. If it wasn't for the general Zhonglang who was too hasty to claim credit, how could he be so easy to fool. The longer Jiang Tong stays in the capital, the greater the danger, do you understand?"

"As for you, just be honest and act as if you have never seen Jiang Tong before. If Jiang Tong can never show up again and let everyone forget him, he will be better and safer until Lord Tong is avenged. When the time comes, maybe on that day, you will be able to be together."

Liao Mingsi knew that He Qing and Liao Shan had settled everything, no matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless.He lowered his head slumped, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"But mother... How can I forget him?" Liao Mingsi put his hand on his chest, "He's already here, do you want me to gouge out my heart?"

He Qing also couldn't bear it, stretched out his hand to hug Liao Mingsi in his arms and comforted him: "Then put him in your heart and never mention it. If there is fate, you will meet again in the end."

Liao Mingsi resentfully walked to Jiang Tong's door, but hesitantly stood at the gate of the courtyard, hesitating and daring not to go in.I was afraid that when I saw Jiang Tong, I would lose control of my emotions.

"Brother, don't you want to come in?" Jiang Tong appeared at the door of the room at some point, looking at Liao Mingsi with big eyes.Liao Mingsi's heart felt sore, he suppressed tears and said, "I want to come in."

After that, he took a deep breath and walked into the house.

The nanny took a veil wrapped in ice and applied it to Jiang Tong's face. Liao Mingsi looked at the still obvious palm prints and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Tong shook his head: "Just now I was just pretending, acting with my brother."

Liao Mingsi smiled, and stretched out his hand to pat Jiang Tong's head: "I know you are very smart. You can read so well. In the future, you will be admitted to the Jinshi and enter the imperial court. Maybe you can avenge your parents."

"I will. My brother must also work hard to become a general. Let's kill those treacherous ministers."

"Okay." Liao Mingsi smiled, but felt sour in his heart.He didn't know how to tell Jiang Tong about his parents' decision, let alone how to say goodbye to Jiang Tong properly.

Jiang Tong put down the veil covering his face, lowered his long eyelashes, and said softly, "Brother, we will meet again."

"What?" Liao Mingsi was thinking about his own thoughts, when Jiang Tong said this suddenly, which shocked Liao Mingsi.

Jiang Tong pursed his lips, as if he was holding back.After a while, he raised his head, tears rolled in his eyes, but it seemed that they would not fall.

"Brother, give me ten years until I grow up." Jiang Tong's eyes were full, like a pool of clear spring.At this age, I still don't know what affection is, but I know that I have full trust in the person I like: "If I can return to the capital in ten years, my brother will definitely wait for me, right?"

Liao Mingsi felt as if a heat wave surged through his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say ten years, even 20 or 100 years, I will wait for you." Then he took Jiang Tong's hand: "If you don't come, I will go Looking for you. Not to mention Binzhou, even the ends of the earth, I will find you!"

Jiang Tong laughed, and that smile was deeply reflected in Liao Mingsi's mind. He accompanied him through lonely seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and experienced wars, big and small.As long as he thinks of that smile, Liao Mingsi feels that he is invincible.

ten years.Beyond the Great Wall, the wasteland.The battle drums in the border town resounded through the sky.

Liao Mingsi swung his long sword, bringing up gusts of dry and hot wind, carrying wisps of blood, rolling up the sand and dust under his feet.

The last sword pierced the chest of a barbarian leader.Liao Mingsi stared at the other party with eagle-like eyes, as if a flame was burning.

The panic and despair in the Hu leader's eyes hadn't disappeared before the head was separated from the neck.That fixed look was held in Liao Mingsi's hands.

In the wilderness, the soldiers cheered Liao Mingsi with the blood of the enemy holding up the weapons that cut the wound.Under the setting sun, a crimson-purple flag unfurled in the wind, with a vigorous word on it: Liao.

People in the capital lined up on the long street, shouting the name of Liao Jiajun in unison.Among the ranks of neat soldiers, Liao Mingsi, who was riding on a tall horse and wearing a golden armor, was heroic and mighty, with a dignified appearance.

The team went all the way to the west corner gate of the palace. Liao Mingsi had made outstanding military exploits, and the emperor specially gave him a horse to enter the palace.Liao Mingsi rode his horse into the palace gate with several members of the personal guards and his entourage Xing'an.

A thin, high-spirited man dressed as a prince came out from the side hall, looked at all this from a distance, and asked coldly, "Is that Liao Mingsi?"

The people around him immediately replied: "Responding to King Zhao's words, the man on the horse is General Liao. He won six out of six battles in the border town, and today he returned victorious. The emperor specially rewarded him to ride a horse into the palace."

King Zhao Song Yuanhao looked away coldly, and asked instead: "Why did that newly promoted young Jinshi shirk tonight's Qiongming Night Banquet?"

"This..." The subordinate glanced at Song Yuanhao, and said hesitantly: "The Jinshi said that he was going to visit an old man, so..."

"Huh! What's the old story, this is a feast specially set up by the emperor for the Gongsheng students of the palace examination high school. How could he just shirk it as he said, no!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

A treacherous smile floated on King Zhao's thin lips: "Hmph! Sima Jiangtong, don't even think about escaping from this king's palm!"
