Chapter 888 Father and Son
Speeding up the horse, it took ten days, and the group arrived in Yucheng. When we arrived, it was already dark.
It was Chu Shaoguang who was guarding Yucheng, and when he got the news, he went out of the barracks to meet the group in person.
After saluting Yun Qing, Chu Shaoguang looked at Qi Hao beside him and said with a smile, "My lord, is this the son of the world?" The four brothers are very similar to Yun Qing. It has to be said that Yunqing's genes are too strong. Among the six children, none of them looked like Yuxi.
Qihao gave Chu Shaoguang a junior salute, and then called Uncle Chu. Qihao's etiquette was taught by Yuxi, and no one can fault him in this regard.
Chu Shaoguang smiled and said to Yunqing: "The general has always heard about the handsomeness of the son of the world, and seeing it today is a well-deserved reputation."
Yun Qing smiled and said: "Children can't stand boasting." Influenced by Yu Xi, even if he is proud of having a son like Qi Hao, he rarely praises Qi Hao in person on weekdays.
After entering the barracks, the first thing to do is to take a shower. In the past ten days, I haven't been able to take a good bath. Not to mention Qihao, Yunqing was a little uncomfortable.
Hearing that Yun Qing said to take a bath together, Qi Hao said a little uncomfortably: "Father, you go take a bath first!" Since childhood, he has never taken a bath with anyone.
Seeing his son's shyness, Yun Qing couldn't help laughing and said, "You brat, why are you so shy in front of your father?"
Unable to resist Yunqing, in the end Qihao and Yunqing washed up together. But when taking a bath, Qi Hao didn't want to take off his obscene pants, Yun Qing stepped forward to take them off, Qi Hao clutched the belt of his pants and refused to let go.
Yun Qing picked up Qi Hao and forcibly took off his obscene pants. Looking at Qi Hao whose face was flushed and his hands were covering his lower body, Yun Qing laughed happily: "You boy, what's there to be embarrassed about. If you have something, so does Dad."
Qihao felt that he had grown up so much, he had never been so embarrassed like today. But it was his own father who made fun of him, and he didn't dare to vent his anger.
Lu Bai heard laughter outside, and asked Yi Kun with some incomprehension: "Why don't you just take a bath, why is your lord so happy?" It is rare to hear Yun Qing laughing so heartily.
Yi Kun said: "You will know when you have a son and take a bath with him. By the way, you are in your twenties, should you marry a wife?"
Lu Bai didn't shy away from this topic, he just said: "I haven't met anyone I like!" As Yun Qing's personal bodyguard, Lu Bai has a high salary and a good future, so he is still very popular.
Yi Kun was a little puzzled: "I said, what kind of person do you want to find?" These years, let alone the matchmaker, they have told Lu Bai several times. But you have too high a vision, you didn't like any of them.
Lu Bai thought for a while and said, "I want to find someone who is as beautiful and capable as the princess."
Yi Kun froze for a moment, then patted Lu Bai on the shoulder and said, "Then you'd better plan to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Who wouldn't want to find a daughter-in-law like a princess. Being beautiful and capable is secondary, the most important thing is being able to give birth and all the children are very smart like her. But the problem is that there are so many women who can prosper in the world, and it is estimated that there will be no second one!
Lu Bai also knew it was difficult, and said: "I don't want to be like the princess, as long as I have 20-30% of the princess's ability, I will be satisfied."
Yi Kun felt that Lu Bai still had a clear understanding of the reality, and said, "Your request is not low, but talk to the matchmaker carefully and let them find it." Lu Bai's conditions, even the rich and powerful families are willing marry his daughter to him.
Lu Bai nodded and said: "Well, after this war is over, I will be busy with getting a wife."
As he was talking, he heard movement inside. After a while, Yunqing came out from inside. Yun Qing, who was wearing a maroon robe, asked, "You two have been muttering for a long time, what are you talking about?"
Yi Kun didn't hide anything and said: "Are you talking about Lu Bai marrying a wife? My lord,
Do you know what he said? "
Yun Qing asked with interest: "What did you say?"
Yi Kun ignored Lu Bai's fierce eyes and said with a smile: "This brat said he wants to marry a smart and capable wife like a princess."
Yun Qing didn't feel that Lu Bai was offended, on the contrary, he was very proud. This proves that my daughter-in-law is excellent, and others will look for her like that: "I was lucky to marry the princess, and you are not so lucky."
Brother Hao was very particular. After taking a bath with Yunqing, he took a bucket of water and washed it from head to toe before changing his clothes. That's why he didn't come out with Yunqing.
Walking to the door, I happened to hear Yun Qing's words. Qi Hao looked up at Yun Qing and said: "Father, be careful, mother will talk about you again when she hears this." His father was really outspoken.
Yi Kun looked at Qi Hao, whose face was flushed like an apple, and wanted to squeeze it, but it was a pity that he had the heart but not the courage.
The dinner is very rich, with everything from chicken, duck to fish. Yun Qing took a sip of the burning knife and said with a smile: "This is the taste, which makes me miss the most."
Chu Shaoguang looked at Qihao and said, "Master, would you like a bowl too?" Ten-year-old children can drink in Yucheng.
Before Qi Hao could open his mouth, Yun Qing first refused: "This wine is too strong for him to drink, and it will be about the same in two years." Yu Xi does not object to children drinking, otherwise she would not let a few of them drink alcohol on weekdays. The child drank fruit wine. It's just that Yuxi thinks that drinking strong alcohol is harmful to health, so the children are not allowed to drink it.
When Yun Qing spoke, Chu Shaoguang naturally did not dare to object.
After dinner, Yunqing asked Qihao to rest. Qihao shook his head and said, "Father, I'm not sleepy yet." He was going to read and write a few big characters.
Yun Qing didn't stop him either, because he couldn't stop him either. Yun Qing had no choice but to tell him: "I'll go to bed in half an hour at most, you know?"
Qi Hao hummed, and took out the book he brought from the box to read. As for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it was provided by Chu Shaoguang.
Walking out of Qi Hao's room, Yun Qing said to Yi Kun: "Now I can feel how the princess feels."
The words were so random, how could Yi Kun understand it.
Fortunately, Yunqing didn't need Yi Kun to ask questions, and said again: "My son works so hard, I am both gratified and distressed as a father!" Yuxi also said this before, but unfortunately she didn't have such a deep understanding at that time .
Yi Kun felt that this was naked showing off: "My lord, this is a blessing that no one can ask for." As long as his son has half of the son, no, even 20%, he is satisfied. But that kid wanted him to study as if he had hanged himself, thinking about it made him angry.
Yun Qing said: "You are right, this is indeed not a blessing that everyone can ask for." The father is naturally happy that his son is so studious.
Yi Kun was so depressed that he didn't speak.
Half an hour later, Qi Hao was about to go to bed, when he heard the servant Zhao Tao whisper, "My lord, the lights in the lord's room are still on!"
When Qihao heard this, he went to Yunqing's house. Now Yunqing was looking at the map, saw Qihao and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?" Qihao's work and rest time was stipulated by Yuxi, and he had to sleep when the time came, never compromised.
Qi Hao said: "Just getting ready to sleep! Dad, don't look at it, don't worry about it for a while. Otherwise, Mother will know, and you should worry again."
Yun Qing smiled and took the map away: "You brat, you know how to use your mother to suppress me." After finishing speaking, he put the map aside, stroked Brother Hao's head and said, "Sleep with Dad tonight !" Her son is usually mature and prudent, and Yuxi has always been worried about this. I brought him here specially this time, just to let him relax. That's why he teased Brother Hao in the afternoon.
Qi Hao didn't refuse, he nodded and agreed: "Okay." Yun Qing is usually very busy, except when he was in Hejiazhuang, the two spend the longest time together now.
After resting all night, Yunqing took Qihao to the tower of Yucheng the next day.
When Yuxi married Yucheng, the tower was only 6 meters high, but now it has been raised to 8 meters.
Yunqing will now act as a commentator, and he said to Qi Hao as he walked: "This checkpoint has three lines of defense, the inner city, the outer city, and the moat, which overlap and defend, and the barriers are strict. It is connected with the Great Wall as a whole, forming a A flint within five miles, a pier within ten miles, a fort within thirty miles, and a city within one hundred miles..."
Qihao listened very carefully. He had seen these in books, and heard Xu Wu and Huo Changqing mention them, but they were not as detailed as Yunqing's.
After Yunqing finished talking about the architectural structure of Yucheng, and then told the story of the soldiers who stood firm in Yucheng under the difficult environment and died in the battle, Yunqing unconsciously lowered his voice.
Hundreds of people followed, and they all listened quietly without even coughing.
Qihao was very surprised when he heard that Yuxi had also gone to the tower: "Father, did mother also go to the battlefield?" He had never heard of this before!
Yun Qing said in a low voice, "Well, the situation was critical at that time, and your mother went up the tower herself to boost morale." He didn't say anything about Yuxi fainting after getting off the tower, so as not to affect Yuxi by saying it. Hee's image.
Qihao felt as if there was nothing his mother hadn't done. But Qihao also understood why her mother didn't object to the eldest sister going to the battlefield.
Unknowingly, the group walked several miles. Yun Qing said: "In the afternoon, I will take you to the mass grave." The so-called mass grave is the place where soldiers are buried. Every time Yunqing came to Yucheng, he would go to the mass grave to worship.
Qihao said in a deep voice, "Okay."
After paying homage to the mass graves in the afternoon, Qi Hao said to Yun Qing: "Father, these heroes cannot be sent back to their homeland without erecting a tomb. Should we ask the master to save them?" a good tire.
Thinking of that dream, Yun Qing said: "When the war in Beiyao is over, I will ask the master to rescue him together." The things in the dream can be used as a reference, but they cannot be used as a basis for fighting. Whether this battle can be won, Yunqing is not very sure, even if he wins, many people will definitely die.
In Yucheng, Yunqing stayed for nearly half a month. And Qihao always followed Yunqing no matter day or night. Qihao, who didn't understand, kept it in his heart, and asked Yunqing later. After a period of time, I have benefited a lot.
After leaving Yucheng, the father and son went to Xihai again.
Feng Dajun returned to Yucheng for Chinese New Year last year, so Qihao is also very familiar with him. Coupled with Feng Zhiao's presence, Qihao didn't feel strange anymore.
Seeing Qihao, Feng Dajun said to Yunqing, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and my son has grown taller again." Feng Dajun is a smart man, and he is very affectionate to Qihao, but not too much. He grasped this measure very well.
Qi Hao said with a smile: "No brother Zhi Ao grows as fast." Feng Zhi Ao is more than two heads taller than him. But Qihao is not worried about his height, he is considered taller among his peers.
After joking and joking, Feng Dajun welcomed everyone into the house. The house Feng Dajun lives in is very spacious, but the layout is very simple, which is better than in the barracks.
Feng Dajun led the father and son into the house, and said: "The house is relatively simple, if the son is not used to living in it, just ask." The conditions here are not good, and it is impossible to be like Haocheng.
Yun Qing must be able to get used to living there, thinking that they had slept in the wild back then. Ke Qihao is the eldest son, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, Feng Dajun was afraid that he would not be used to it.
Qi Hao said with a smile: "Uncle Feng, you are being polite, it is already very good to have this condition." During the war, he didn't even have a house to live in, so he could only live in a tent.
Feng Dajun didn't throw any kind of clean-up feast, so he had a simple meal together. After eating, a group of people entered the house and talked about the war in the spring of next year.
Feng Dajun said: "My lord, you said that you plan to send troops to attack Beiyao in the spring of next year. My lord, forgive me, is it a little too hasty?" Last time Yun Qing came and said that he had to make preparations first, and he would take three years at most. Send troops into captivity. Unexpectedly, not long after Yunqing returned to Pickaxe City, he wrote to him saying that he would send troops next year.
Yun Qing said: "There is still more than half a year before the spring of next year. During this time, we must intensify the training of soldiers, and we must not slack off. As for the military pay and food, you don't have to worry, it has already been raised."
There were no other people in the room, so Feng Dajun asked directly if he had something to say: "My lord, the dispatch of troops this time will cost millions, and the princess raised so much money in such a short period of time?" Yun Qing said before that the treasury was empty. , It is not surprising that the military salary was raised in such a short period of time.
Yun Qing said to Feng Dajun without hesitation: "It just so happened that I made a fortune some time ago."
Feng Dajun was relatively well informed and asked, "My lord, could it be that this windfall really came from the Wu family?" He also got the news that the Wu family had donated nearly ten million gold and silver. Feng Dajun didn't quite believe this. If there is such a huge amount of money, it will not wait until now to hand it over.
Yun Qing regarded Feng Dajun as his brother, so naturally he would not hide it, so he nodded immediately.
Feng Dajun didn't ask Yuxi how he got Wu Kuo to hand over the treasure: "So, the princess also agreed to send troops to attack Beiyao?"
Yun Qing hummed and said: "The princess is already reorganizing the food, and also ordered to buy a large amount of medicinal materials, gauze and other things that can be used in the battlefield."
Feng Dajun was relieved.
Qi Hao saw Feng Dajun's look in his eyes, and afterwards he asked Yun Qing: "Father, why did Uncle Feng look so much more relaxed when he heard that Mother also agreed to send troops to the north?"
Yun Qing smiled and said: "In war, apart from the general's combat capability, supplies and equipment, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, there is another crucial factor, and that is the army's logistics. Your mother has always done a good job in this area. Dad Only when there are no worries about the future can we always win the battle.”
Qi Hao smiled and said, "That's why Dad said half of your success is due to your mother's credit for winning battles?"
Yun Qing nodded. (to be continued)
