Yan Wushuang Extra Episode (1)

April grass grows in the south and warblers fly, and peach blossoms bloom everywhere. But in April in Tongcheng, it was still snowing. But the snow has melted, and as soon as the sun comes out, spring follows, and the weather gets warmer every day. In May, the earth has put on new clothes, and everything is green.

Today is sunny and beautiful. Yan Wushuang rode his favorite treasure horse to find Marshal Yan who was patrolling the city wall.

Jumping off the horse, Yan Wushuang climbed up the city wall and walked to the stands to stand upright and look into the distance.

Marshal Yan came over with his guards and asked, "Wu Shuang, what are you thinking?" It was rare to see his son so serious. On weekdays, I really get a headache when I see it.

Pointing in the direction of the Donghu people, Yan Wushuang said with a serious face, "Father, one day I will lead my troops to destroy these Donghu ghosts." Everyone is restless.

Marshal Yan patted his head with his hands, and said softly: "It's good that you have this ambition. But if you want to destroy the Donghu people, you must learn real skills, and you can't just talk about it."

Yan Wu double-pointed his head: "I know the father."

The father and son returned home.

When Mrs. Yan saw Yan Wushuang, she couldn't help complaining: "I was going to ask you to try on the new clothes, but you disappeared in a blink of an eye." She complained, but her face was full of smiles.

Yan Wushuang hugged Zhang's hand with a smile and said, "Mother, I'll try on the clothes after dinner."

After poking Yan Wushuang on the forehead, Mrs. Zhang scolded with a smile: "You are not allowed to go out today, you have to practice hard this afternoon. Otherwise, you will be compared by Xiao Wu, let's see where you put your face." Xiao Wu is a subordinate of Marshal Yan His son, because of the death of his parents, was recognized by him as his adopted son, and he has been living in the Marshal's Mansion since then. He is only five months younger than Yan Wushuang, and Mrs. Zhang treats both of them equally. What Yan Wushuang has, he also has.

Xiao Wu hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, I can't compare with the third brother." Yan Wushuang is very talented in martial arts, plus he studies hard and never slacks off, so he has achieved some success in martial arts.

Marshal Yan said with a straight face: "Xiao Wu, don't underestimate yourself. Everyone has their own specialties, and your archery skills are unmatched." To train him to become a good archer. After the death at the beginning of the year, he was already looking for a master for him.

Hearing this, Yan Wushuang asked: "Father, haven't you found a suitable teacher for Xiao Wu?"

Marshal Yan said: "I have my own idea about this matter."

"Oh.

"His father is always like this, he can't speak well when he has something to say, so he likes to use this sentence to dismiss him.

Seeing his son like this, Marshal Yan was also very helpless. Because Yan Wushuang was acquired by their husband and wife in their thirties, it is inevitable that they will be spoiled a bit when they are old. Therefore, the temper is a little jumpy. But originally he had two older brothers, and Marshal Yan didn't care. But ever since the eldest son died in battle, Marshal Yan began to want to correct his temper. But it's easier said than done when you develop a temper and want to break it.

After dinner, Yan Wushuang took Xiao Wu for a walk. But Marshal Yan and his wife didn't care about him. Although Yan Wushuang had a wild temper, he never failed in martial arts. When it's time for practice, he will come back.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her husband with a worried look on her face, and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't the imperial court say that the military salary has been allocated? Could something have gone wrong?" The imperial court has not allocated the military salary for half a year since the beginning of winter last year. There are already complaints in the middle. How could Mrs. Zhang, who is a member of the Marshal's Mansion, not know these things.

Marshal Yan said in a low voice: "820,000 silver has been allocated, and we are already on our way to Tongcheng." But this little money is a drop in the bucket for them.

"Although it's a little less, it's better than nothing."

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "Last year's winter was longer than usual for a month, and more than a dozen of our horses froze to death. I think the Donghu people should suffer more than us." Their horses live in stables and are taken care of by special personnel. So many died of freezing, it can be inferred that Donghu people must have killed a lot of livestock.

In previous years, after the snow melted, Donghu people came to Tongcheng like crazy to grab things. Now that they have suffered disasters, they will not be killed on a small scale, but will attack on a large scale.

The imperial court withdrew military pay and food, and it was even more impossible to replace weapons and equipment with new ones. In recent years, Marshal Yan has worked hard to find ways to get money to support the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tongcheng. In these years, they barely kept the Donghu people out of the city.

Mrs. Zhang's heart skipped a beat: "Husband..." In the past, Donghu people invaded her husband and never worried about it. She even said that if she wanted to cross Tongcheng, she would step over him. But this time, the words were full of worry. And this made Zhang terrified.

Marshal Yan said: "Pack up your things and bring Wushuang back to Shengjing in two days."

Mrs. Zhang is not someone who doesn't care about everything, so she asked: "Husband, is there anything else?" If she was only from Donghu, she believed that her husband could handle it.

Marshal Yan shook his head and said, "Nothing else. Just in case, you should bring Wushuang back to Shengjing earlier." Every May in previous years, Mrs. Zhang brought Yan Wushuang back to Shengjing.

This is also a custom handed down by the Yan family for hundreds of years. The purpose is to leave a root for the Yan family, and not let the lineage of the direct branch lose its incense.

Mrs. Zhang hesitated and asked, "Husband, do you have any letters from the queen and the prince?" She actually knew that the queen and the prince were in a difficult situation in the court. If it weren't for her husband's marshal with 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, I'm afraid the queen would have been abolished by the faint king long ago.

Marshal Yan shook his head and said, "No. There are wars at this time of the year, and the queen won't tell me anything at this time."

In fact, when the queen was a girl at home, she had a sweetheart in her heart. Unfortunately, an imperial decree from the former emperor abruptly changed the trajectory of the queen's life.

The Yan family has been loyal and good for generations, even if the queen was unwilling, she was finally forced by Marshal Yan to get into a sedan chair and marry Guangzong. And the queen's sweetheart died in battle not long after she got married. But Guangzong didn't like the queen, on the contrary, he favored the woman surnamed Song very much. Now, the child born to her surnamed Song has even climbed onto the heads of her sister and nephew. Even though Marshal Yan was very angry, he never said these words to Mrs. Zhang. Tell your wife that there is nothing to do but worry her.

Mrs. Zhang felt very sad when she thought of her sister-in-law. If there hadn't been the imperial decree of the former emperor back then, and my sister-in-law had married He Tao instead of the emperor, even if He Tao died in battle, she wouldn't have had such a difficult life.

Although Marshal Yan reported good news but not bad news, how could Mrs. Zhang really know nothing. Just to prevent Marshal Yan from worrying, she never said anything.

Marshal Yan said: "Pack up your things, and I will ask Li Duo to send you back to Shengjing in two days."

"No, just send the guards in the mansion to take us back." Li Duo is the most powerful assistant by her husband's side, how could he be allowed to leave her husband's side.

Marshal Yan said: "It will only take more than half a month to go back and forth, so there is no delay. Let's talk to Wushuang about this matter two days later!" If this child knows, there will definitely be trouble again.

Thinking of this, Marshal Yan felt a little headache: "When you arrive in Shengjing, you must detain him, and don't let him go out to have fun. Let him stay in the mansion to practice hard and study more." Yes, but I have no interest in studying. In Tongcheng, he was there to learn things from his master honestly, but when he returned to Shengjing, he couldn't hold back the wild horse that had run away.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Got it." In the past, Mrs. Zhang felt that Yan Wushuang was still young, so she didn't want to be too constrained. When you are young, you can be carefree and unrestrained, and you will never be as relaxed as you are now when you take on responsibilities in the future. But now that my son is older, he really can't be like before.

"Wugou is gone, Wuya can't take on this heavy responsibility. If you don't restrain him now, it will be even more difficult to control him if he becomes wild in two years." The eldest son was the heir he cultivated with all his painstaking efforts, but in the end he died in an accident up. The second son's martial arts and intelligence are average, and he can't take on the important task of guarding Liaodong. Therefore, he pinned his hopes on his youngest son.

Then Mrs. Zhang nodded lightly: "When I return to Shengjing, I will urge him to study hard and practice martial arts." In fact, he does not need to be urged to practice martial arts, and Yan Wushuang has never slacked off. But studying, he didn't want to spend too much energy on it.

God loves Yan Wushuang very much, even though he doesn't like to study, he still remembers and knows the meaning of what the teacher taught.

After two days, Yan Wushuang knew that he was unwilling to go to Shengjing: "Father, mother, I still want to go to battle to kill Donghu ghosts!" Every year when he goes to Xuehua to start a battle, he has to go back to Shengjing, and then wait for the winter to fight After the fight, I returned to Tongcheng. This made Yan Wushuang very upset.

Little did he know how many people wanted to leave Tongcheng like him, but couldn't.

"Wu Shuang is obedient, pack up your things and we will leave for Shengjing tomorrow." Shengjing also has their residence.

Yan Wushuang refused: "Mother, if you want to go back, you should go back, I won't go back."

Mrs. Zhang said: "This is your father's decision, you have to go back if you don't."

In fact, Mrs. Zhang is not willing to leave Tongcheng and return to Shengjing, but this is a rule passed down by the Yan family for a hundred years. As the head of the house, how could she disregard the rules set by her ancestors.

"I'll go find my father." Without waiting for Mrs. Zhang to stop him, he hurried out to find Marshal Yan.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head helplessly and said, "This child." Her husband's words were solid. What was said has never been taken back.

As soon as he saw Marshal Yan, Yan Wushuang yelled: "Father, I won't go back to Shengjing. Father, I want to stay and kill Donghu ghosts with you." He will lead troops to take over the Donghu people's old lair and kill them. All gone.

"Nonsense. How old are you, do you dare to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" The youngest in the army is fifteen years old, but these are all newly recruited recruits.

Recruits have to train for at least one year before they can be sent to the battlefield. Otherwise, let them die.

Yan Wushuang was still a little afraid of Marshal Yan: "Father, it's fine not to go to the battlefield, but I don't want to go back to Shengjing." Staying in Shengjing with fear all day is better than staying in Tongcheng. At least here, you can know the battle situation ahead at the first time.

Marshal Yan said with a grimace: "Go back and pack your things, and return to Shengjing with your mother tomorrow. If not, I'll tie you up and throw you into the carriage."

Yan Wushuang became sick instantly.
