Chapter 521: The plucked strings (end of this volume)
Thirty miles away from the north of Bianliang, Wu Ruijun received news from the admiral of the East Factory to inspect the army. .
The breeze blew across the weeds on both sides of the road, and the delicate sunshine shone brightly. People walked on the straight road like shuttles. The Jinyiwei, with the embroidered spring sword, moved forward in an orderly manner. The shaft of the team in the middle of the team ran over a stone. It slowly stopped while shaking, and someone shouted in the distance.
"The admiral of the imperial court's east urgency factory, inspecting the military camps under the orders"
The flag of Wu Ruijun and a Yue-shaped flag floated on the village building. Soon after, the gate opened, and a young man in armor led several generals to strode towards this side.
The Jinyiwei lined up in two rows, and the curtains were lifted on the carriage. Bai Ning walked out, wearing a dragon cloud claw robe with golden silk, a rain flower and Shu brocade cloak hanging on his shoulders, a silver silk was neatly tied into a bun, and a red jade crown on his head. He glanced at the generals at the gate, stepped on the stool and rushed over from the carriage, and Longting walked over with a tiger.
"The last general and others will meet the governor." Yue Fei bowed his hands and bowed, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Go in and talk." Under the silver white eyebrows, Bai Ning's originally cold eyes were smiling at this time. Yue Fei knew some etiquette and made a call, and turned sideways to let the other party go first. In the back, a team of Jinyiwei went in first, step by step, and began to set up defenses.
Seeing this, Yue Fei frowned, then stretched out, and without saying anything, he followed Bai Ning and went straight to the dot to the table.
"General Yue has taken office, are there anyone who refuses to accept discipline?" The golden stairs walked onto the stage on the wooden steps, and Bai Ningbian walked to ask the general behind him.
A few days ago, he ordered the transfer of the chief general of the original Wu Rui army and promoted Yue Fei, who was the captain, to be the general of the first army. At this moment, he naturally had to ask about it. After all, it is hard to say whether Yue Fei in history and the flesh-and-blooded person are consistent.
"I'm sorry to the admiral. Everything goes well in the army. Even if someone raises trouble, it's just a few things. The lower part will be handled." Yue Fei raised his hand and answered frankly.
"Um!"
Bai Ning nodded, lifted his robe and sat down. On the school ground in front of his vision, thousands of swords were slashing out, slashing neatly. The soldiers in leather armor made simple and effective movements, and the fine sweat spread on their foreheads, as if they had been practicing for a while.
During the drill of bloody shouting, Bai Ning sat on the wooden chair with a calm expression on his face. Looking at the group of sergeants waving their swords, soon after, someone served tea. Yue Fei whispered: "There is no wine in the army, so please forgive me."
"I rarely drink alcohol, General Yue doesn't have to worry about it." Bai Ning looked at the drills in the schoolyard with calm eyes, picked up the teacup and blew the tea foam.
After taking a sip, Bai Ning closed the lid and looked at the other party, "General Yue, do you know why our family wants you to sit in this position?"
"Fei Zheng has this question. There are many generals in the army. Why did the Admiral let Yue Fei take this important position alone?" The general sitting next to him spoke more straightforwardly, and there were no euphemisms in it.
Bai Ning put the teacup into the hand of the closest servant and turned to look at the other party, "This is not the first time you and me meet, and the direction of seeing things is not the same, but why did this governor promote you to this position... To be honest, we are not very clear about why we should do this, but..."
His fingers moved, his tone paused, and he said slowly: "...But our family believes that General Yue will not disappoint our family, right?"
Yue Fei frowned, "Forgive Yue Fei for being stupid and do not know the meaning of the Admiral's words."
Bai Ning smiled, raised his arm, and waved it, "Of course, it will be the future of going north to attack Jin."
"Mr. Admiral, already intends to attack the Jin Kingdom in the north?"
"Regain lost land and avenge hundreds of thousands of people in the north, General Yue! Do you dare to take this burden?"
Suddenly, Yue Fei stood up with his fists, bowed to Bai Ning with a serious face and said, "Yue Fei has been waiting for this day for a long time. As long as he attacks the Jurchens in the north, he will die."
Perhaps this sentence was so powerful that the nearby generals looked over excitedly, and someone suddenly shouted: "The Northern Expedition of Jurchens will never refuse."
On the school ground, the waving arms stopped, and looked at them one by one. As the loud voice shouted, the sound of waves of sea tides resounded over the entire military camp.
"The last general Niu Gao asked to order the Northern Expedition!" Among the several generals, a burly figure stood up, and then someone followed him out and clasped his fists at Mutai: "The last general Gao Chong asked to order the Northern Expedition."
"Including me, Yang Zaixing."
"The last general Zhang Xian..."
The shouting sound came, and the blood was surging. Bai Ning shook his head and said calmly to Yue Fei next to him: "It's not time yet."
"…This Yue Fei also knows that Wu Rui's army has many new recruits, and it is probably not possible to fight the Jurchens." The general with a serious face stood on the stage, staring at the longing look that looked over, and his tone was firm: "…But as long as I, a Wu Chao man, stand up to the sky and can carry mountains and block rivers, he will definitely be invincible."
"Please..." Bai Ning took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Yue Fei: "...With General Yue's words, I will fight for the general for a while."
"Hmm?" Yue Fei was a little puzzled.
But Bai Ning just waved his hand and did not explain. He dragged his cloak and said goodbye. When Yue Fei followed him to the gate, he turned around and said, "The Jin Dynasty is also unstable. Wanyan Zongwang... Forget it, the general will know about it another day."
Yue Fei nodded and clasped his fists: "Great visit to the Admiral."
On the other side, the figure who walked out got on the carriage and left straight away.

Bianliang.
In the bustling street market, Yan Qing accompanied Li Shishi in the crowd, looking at the small toys sold by vendors on the street, probably wanting to choose some.
"Xiao Yi...who do you think Yi'er would like?"
"It's hard to say... After all, I've grown up in the palace, so what have I never seen before?"
"It's not certain. Perhaps these small objects on the street are still very strange to him." Li Shishi shook with a paper-folded windmill, frowned slightly: "I'm just worried that Yi'er won't know me anymore."
Yan Qing blew a breath into the windmill and turned it up. A gentle smile appeared on his face: "... Blood is thicker than water. Yi'er will definitely know who his biological mother is. Shishi should not worry about it. You will spend a long time with Yi'er in the future."
Looking at the windmill, the woman seemed to have thought of the life scene of mother and son getting along in the future, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The two of them paid to walk, and a few steps away, a figure jumped and passed by them. Under the messy hair, a happy smile appeared on their dirty faces. They put their hands on their chests, facing the empty space, and coaxed and laughed.
"Baby... don't cry..."
"Mom takes you to find Daddy... Daddy goes out of the city to kill bad guys..."
"...Don't cry, don't cry... Be good... Baby... Don't cry... Come on, I'll play with you, okay..."
Li Shishi looked back at the back and stood still. Yan Qing, who had walked a few steps, realized it just now, so he walked back, "What are you looking at?"
Li Shishi sighed, "That woman is so pitiful... crazy... she thought she was holding a child and waiting for her husband to come back."
Yan Qing looked at the back that had already walked away and suddenly felt similar... After a moment, another figure hurriedly pushed away the crowd and ran towards the crazy woman.
"Junior sister...Junior sister don't walk around..."
"Junior sister... Qin Mian is dead..."
The voice of his speech came from the crowd, probably no longer able to hear it. Yan Qing patted the woman beside him, "But fortunately someone is taking care of him, let's go."
Li Shishi looked at him again, then nodded and merged into the crowd with the man, and walked in the other direction.
….
The sun shines westward, and a hill outside the city looks like blood.
A figure walked on the hill, dragging its long shadow, looking at the bloody setting sun in the west, and bowed to the two people behind him: "Just send it here. Huang Xin has seen through the filth of this world this time, so let's leave."
"Brother Huang Xin, you can take this."
Lin Chong took the package from Luan Tingyu's hand, walked up and stuffed it into the other party's hand, "It's easy to spend money if you have extra money in your hand, this time..."
"I won't say it anymore." Huang Xin took the package and put it on his shoulder, took a step back and picked up his fist: "Being alive is considered a mercy of the Lord, what else can I say... Let's just leave it."
"Then where are you going? There must be a place to stay, right?" Lin Chong caught up with him.
The sunset became more and more magnificent, red, and the distant back was reflected in the red, getting farther and farther away, slowly the last ray of sky light closed.
...
A carrier pigeon fell into the car and caught up with it, and the note was sent over.
The curtains were rolled up, and Bai Ning looked at the set sunset and glanced at the news in his hand.
The new era has just begun
