Chapter 899: The Price
The grassland sky is always so beautiful, from light blue to sapphire blue, unpredictable, but each color has its own unique flavor. It's a pity that Brother Hao doesn't have the heart to appreciate this beautiful scenery at all.
When Yunqing walked out of the tent, he saw Qihao staring at the blue sky in a daze. Yun Qing touched Qi Hao's head and said, "What? Are you worried about your elder sister?" Since the news of Zao Zao's injury came, Qi Hao has been frowning.
Qihao didn't deny it, and said: "I don't know how the eldest sister is doing now?" The relationship between the siblings has always been very good, and knowing that Zao Zao was seriously injured, he was always uneasy.
Yun Qing said: "Didn't Feng Dajun say in the letter that your elder sister's life was in danger, what are you still worried about?"
Qi Hao said: "This time my eldest sister hurt her lungs, I am worried that there will be sequelae." If you are not careful, it may become a medicine jar in the future.
Yun Qing was silent for a while and said: "There is a price to be paid for everything. Ah Hao, since your eldest sister is determined to become a female general, injuries are inevitable." Now that you have taken this path, life and death have already been left to God.
Qihao couldn't help asking: "Father, you were forced to join the army back then, but why did you let your eldest sister join the army?" If the eldest sister was a son, it would be reasonable for the son to inherit his father's career. But the elder sister is a daughter, he really didn't understand why he would agree to let the elder sister join the army.
Yun Qing was silent for a while and said: "Father hesitated at the beginning, I had a serious discussion with your mother about this matter. Your mother said that in a lifetime, if you can do what you like and are willing to work hard for, it is also a kind of happiness. "At that time, he was very shocked when he heard this, and he did not hesitate after that, and followed Zao Zao's wishes.
Qi Hao suddenly said: "So that's how it is."
Yun Qing patted Qi Hao on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, your elder sister will be fine. After her injury is better, I will send her back to Pick City. At that time, please ask a famous doctor to treat her for a while, and she will be fine soon. It can be cured." Zao Zao's greatest capital is youth, at this age even if he is injured, he can recover quickly.
"Yawn..." After yawning twice in succession, Zao Zao lay on the bed and muttered, "A Rui and A You must be talking bad about me."
Qiu He said with a smile: "It's a bit too much for the princess to say this. The second young master and the third young master have always respected the princess, so how can they speak ill of you behind your back? Besides, when I look at them, they must miss you." , thinking about you!"
Looking at the grass under the bed, Zao Zao murmured: "This time is really unlucky, why did you say that bastard aimed at me?" After finishing speaking, Zao Zao angrily said: "Cough, you must know that there are some soldiers in the enemy army. Archer, I will definitely be more careful." She was injured at the beginning of the battle, and nothing happened to her after that. She also wanted to see her father show great power and wipe out Beiyao, but now it's all a fantasy.
When Yin Zhaofeng came in, he heard these words: "Princess, please forgive me, no matter how careful you are, the sharp archer will still aim at you."
"why?"
Yin Zhaofeng asked Qiu He to go out: "I have something to tell the princess, you go out first." What he wanted to say was not very pleasant, so he didn't want to let the third person hear it.
It was impossible for Qiu He to listen to Yin Zhaofeng, so she looked directly at Zao Zao. Seeing Zao Zao nodded, she went out.
Yin Zhaofeng pointed to the gray and black armor hanging in the tent, and said: "In the army, except General Feng, no one has better armor than you." The sharp archer must be looking at Zao Zao. Wearing armor, he felt that she was not an ordinary person, so he targeted her.
Zaozao was stunned: "You mean the reason for this armor is that the enemy's sharp archer wants to put me to death?" Seeing Yin Zhaofeng nodding, Zaozao felt wronged by this injury: "But the color of this armor Like everyone else, mostly gray and black?" Zao Zao grew up so fast that she couldn't wear that silver-gray armor anymore.
That armor has a special meaning, so it was not used for modification, but kept as a souvenir.
Yin Zhaofeng said helplessly: "The color is the same, but the eyes of the sharp archer are so sharp, how can you not see that your armor is better than other ordinary generals?" There is no comparison between armor made of fine iron and ordinary armor. These sharp archers are all tempered, how can they not even see such an obvious difference.
Zao Zao doesn't know what mood she is in now.
Seeing this, Yin Zhaofeng said bluntly: "Actually, the root problem is not the armor, but yourself, the princess. Such armor is not something that you, a fifth-rank thousand household, can wear." Yin Zhaofeng usually seldom talks, but As long as you open your mouth, the words will be very sharp.
Zao Zao remembered Qi Hao's words, and asked, "You mean I didn't position myself right?"
Yin Zhaofeng nodded and said: "Yes. You have not adjusted your position until now. In the army, you are just a fifth-rank Qianhu, not a high-ranking princess. If you really want to become a general, you must You must be like other generals, slowly accumulating military achievements and climbing up one step at a time, instead of always taking shortcuts." When Zao Zao was in contact with other people, his arrogance was unconsciously revealed. Yin Zhaofeng hadn't encountered anything before, so he kept silent.
Zao Zao was very hurt when she heard this, and said: "I didn't take a shortcut." Although she has borrowed the light of her parents, she has also paid blood and sweat.
Yin Zhaofeng said: "I've been in the army for nearly twenty years, and I'm only a fourth rank now. And I'm lucky. Many people have been in the army for a lifetime, but they haven't been able to climb to my position. If you don't take shortcuts, you can Qianhu who has become a fifth rank at this age? And a Qianhu who holds real power?"
Jujube is irrefutable.
Yin Zhaofeng said mercilessly: "Princess, if you take too many shortcuts, you will have to pay the price."
Zao Zao's face turned green and white, and it took a long time before she said: "Then what do you think I should do?" Everyone said she was wrong, and she must be wrong.
Yin Zhaofeng shook his head and said: "The princess has to think about it for himself." He hadn't thought through it himself, and it was useless for others to say more.
Qiu He opened the camp tent and walked in, bending over with her hand in her hand, and said to Yin Zhaofeng, "Guardian Yin, I'm going to change the medicine for the princess." Jujube is a disaster.
Hearing this, Zao Zao's expression changed and he said, "Don't call me Dajunzhu in the future, call me Lord Qianhu."
Yin Zhaofeng doesn't think Zao Zao can change all of a sudden, but realizing this problem can be regarded as a kind of progress.
When there were only two people left in the tent, Qiu He asked: "Princess, what did Yin guard tell you just now?" Looking at the expression on the princess's face, I knew that Yin Zhaofeng must have said nothing good.
Yin Zhaofeng is very loyal to Zao Zao and is very dedicated, but he stabs Zao Zao from time to time and pours cold water on her. So Qiu He didn't hate Yin Zhaofeng, but he didn't like him either.
Zao Zao said: "He said that mother already knew about my injury, and when I recover from my injury, I should go back to Pickaxe City." . Not only the doctors there are better than those in the army, but also the medicines are complete, which should allow her to recover quickly.
Yunqing's capture of the leader of the Hak tribe was brought to the capital together with the news of Feng Dajun's attack. Yan Wushuang frowned and said, "The Hake clan was wiped out by Yunqing so easily, when did the Beiyao people be so incompetent?" The leaders of the tribe were all captured alive, and the tribe was tantamount to being wiped out.
Meng Nian said: "It's also Yunqing's luck. The Hak tribe is not strong among the twelve tribes captured in the north." Relatively speaking, Feng Dajun's luck is not so good. Because the one who attacked Feng Dajun was one of the most powerful tribes in Beicap, the Tak tribe. Agu, the titan who was captured in the north, is from the Tak tribe.
Yan Wushuang chuckled and said, "Yunqing's luck has always been good." There is no such thing as luck to be envious of.
Meng Nian said: "The attack of the Tak clan caused Yun Lan to be seriously injured." Yun Qing may be lucky, but her daughter is not so lucky.
After a pause, Meng Nian asked a little strangely, "I don't know why Yun Qing didn't bring Yun Lan with him?" If Yun Lan followed Yun Qing, she wouldn't be injured.
Yan Wushuang said: "This matter is actually very easy to understand. It is impossible for children to really grow up under the wings of their parents."
Meng Nian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, counting the days, the third prince should have arrived in Tongcheng." Tongcheng is also fighting now, so Meng Nian is a little worried.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "Qiu Dashan will protect him well. He is much safer in Tongcheng than in Beijing." I can't practice martial arts." This is Yan Wushuang's greatest regret. You know, the Yan family belongs to a family of generals. But now his heir cannot practice martial arts.
Although Achi was not established as the prince, in Yan Wushuang's heart, Achi was already recognized as the heir.
Meng Nian also felt that this was a great regret: "Your Majesty, the third prince is already very good." The third prince is smart and precocious, and no one of his age can compare with him. But what was more unlucky was that he ran into Yun Qihao.
Yan Wushuang just expressed his feelings, and quickly skipped the topic, and announced that the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Households came in to discuss political affairs.
Three days later, Yuchen received Achi's letter of safety. After reading the letter, Yuchen burst into tears, choked up and said, "Tongcheng is constantly fighting, and supplies are scarce. I don't know if Ah Chi is used to it?" .
Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty, don't think so much." People have already gone, so it's useless to worry.
Yuchen said: "I don't know where the things I sent are now?" A Chi didn't bring much when he left, but Yuchen sent people to send a lot of things afterwards.
Nanny Gui said, "It shouldn't be that fast." The third prince traveled lightly and traveled very fast. Relatively speaking, a carriage full of things was much slower.
While talking, I heard Shi Xiang reporting back outside: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the Eldest Princess was injured."
When Yu Chen heard this, he thought that Yu Xi must have made a move, and his face turned pale immediately.
Nanny Gui is relatively calm, and it should be fine to listen to Shi Xiang's tone. Nanny Gui immediately asked, "How did the eldest princess get hurt?"
Shi Xiang entered the room and reported back: "I don't know the specific slaves, I only know that the princess was injured in the school training ground, and the injury was on her arm. Now the princess has returned to her bedroom." Some of them were also in Abao Palace, that's why I got the news so quickly.
Go to Po's Palace now. At this time, the maid was giving medicine to A Bao. Seeing the bruise on Abao's arm, Yuchen was so distressed that tears rolled down his face.
A Bao hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't worry, it's just scary to look at, and it will disappear in two days."
Wiping her tears, Yuchen said: "From now on, you are not allowed to go to the school training ground to practice martial arts. After you recover from your injury, you will learn how to take care of common affairs with your mother." Needleworker does not need to learn as Abao, but Cooking and general affairs must be learned.
A Bao is unwilling to learn common affairs, and she has a headache when she looks at those account books: "Mother Concubine, today was just an accident, I will be careful in the future."
This time Yuchen's attitude was very strong: "There is no future. Boys should do such things as beating and killing, and you, a girl, shouldn't learn it. You used to be young, and your mother could do whatever she wanted. But now you You're a big girl now, don't mess around like this anymore." This time it was on the arm, who knows where it will be next time? What if I get a scar on my face? That's not disfigured.
A Bao said: "Mother, Concubine, I can protect myself well after learning martial arts, and I won't be afraid of being assassinated." In fact, A Bao envied Yun Lan very much, because she could lead troops to fight with the support of her parents. And she just disagrees with her mother and concubine practicing martial arts. Don't even think about leading troops to fight.
Yuchen's heart froze, but he quickly said: "With your father and mother concubine here, no one can harm you. Ah Bao, mother concubine is also for your own good, it is too dangerous to wield knives and guns." If you disfigured , It will be difficult to find a good husband's family in the future.
Ah Bao is not a submissive character either, when he heard this, he immediately retorted: "Concubine Mu, there is a war every day in Tongcheng, you know it is very dangerous but you still let brother go, why?"
Yuchen said: "Your brother is a boy, even if there is danger, there are certain things that must be done." Yuchen's requirements for sons and daughters are completely different.
A Bao said very angrily: "Mom, I can do the same as what my brother can do." She didn't want to be like Yuchen, playing the piano, painting, cooking, and household chores every day, she felt that such a life was boring and boring.
Yuchen was unwilling to argue with Abao, and said forcefully: "I will tell your father about this matter, and when you recover from your injury, you can learn palace cooking from your mother."
Ah Bao grumbled, "I don't want to learn."
Yuchen is determined this time, Abao has to learn if he doesn't want to, there is no room for negotiation.
Back in Zhanghua Palace, Nanny Gui said: "Madam, the eldest princess is stubborn, it will backfire if you do this." A Bao was favored since childhood, so she was a little arrogant. But she never had a good face towards the other concubines, and even dared to whip her when she was annoyed. Concubine Xiangshu had been whipped by her back then.
Yuchen shook his head and said: "I can't wait any longer. If this continues, I'm afraid she will become the second Yunlan." In fact, Yuchen really thought too much, not to mention military literacy, but to talk about Abao's embroidered legs and jujube It's not on the same level.
After hearing this, Nanny Gui stopped persuading her. It was she who told Yuchen that Yun Lan was seriously injured and almost died. Han Yuxi didn't take her daughter's life seriously, but if something happened to the eldest princess, she would have to kill her master. (to be continued)
