Accompanying Rong's captain Song Wentong on a rail carriage, he returned home from the headquarters building of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Supervision Department in the inner city. In August, the weather began to cool down, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers was hidden in the air. This afternoon, in the conference room of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Operations Department, he heard a very unexpected news from his superiors. According to his always sensitive estimate, his stable life might end. Now, he had to discuss with his wife and make a decision immediately. Then, he had no confidence in her views.

Song Wang was a young woman in her twenties, but she was a mature young woman in Huaxin. She was just too good at nagging, which made her occasionally seem a little irrational. In Song Wentong's view, this newly married wife was sometimes very smart. They got married less than half a month after they met. There was no lively wedding. They just set up two tables of simple food and food in the quadrilateral courtyard of Yanjing's outer city, and invited Song Wentong's boss and several colleagues. Song Wang was originally Liu Wang, who married a small officer of Lu Longjun at the age of fifteen. However, when she was twenty years old, her husband, who had only been married for five years, died in battle. In recent years, she has been widowed and lived a difficult life. After Song Wentong came back from Yanmen, he brought the expensive reward he had just received to the outer city to find a house.

At that time, the house he was interested in was the one that he had already lived in a difficult life and had to sell it. The two talked about it several times. Then once, Song Wentong met a group of gangsters who came to bully Liu Wang's family and he rescued him. Not long after that, the two had already had a fucking fuck and quickly got married. Song Wendong did not dislike Wang's family as a widow. He was twenty-five years old. He had been in the Boye Army in Chengde Town, Hebei, and had never married a wife. There was no one in the family. Now there was a gentle and considerate mature woman who he liked very much.

When they first got married, they had discussed the life of soldiers. Song Wang once said at that time that those who marry into the army had to face long separations, lack real residence and normal family life, and had to climb up little by little according to the system, and even saw a wife with a slightly higher status, she had to bow down. These always made her uneasy. Especially the husband of the previous soldier died in battle. But she fell in love with him again, because the officers of the Qin army were a glorious profession, unlike the Lu Long army. The officers of the Qin army were indeed different from ordinary vassal states. The soldiers of the Qin army were always wearing energetic and well-equipped military uniforms. Moreover, their uniforms were always shining, making people respected.

But now there is a break from marriage. She must have forgotten about the words. She is planning to have a lot of children with Song Wentong, and then save some money to move from the outer city of Yanjing City to the inner city.

Song Wentong once reminded her that being an officer of the Qin army is not just the glamorous on the surface. No matter which army of the vassal state is, no matter how glamorous it is, there is a fact that cannot be avoided. That is, soldiers regard obedience as their duty. They will never know where they will drive in the next moment. Song Wentong was not from a wealthy family, nor a family of generals. When he was in the Boye Army in Chengde Town, he had already understood that when he climbed up the steep ladder of the future, there were aristocratic children and generals' sons and grandchildren squeezed him on every step.

It took him ten years to climb from a small pawn to one of the heads of the Boye Army. Now, after he changed to the Qin army, he had been selected by the Military Intelligence Bureau for several outstanding performances and was officially selected as a captain of the Rong from the ninth rank. Every colleague in the Military Intelligence Bureau said that he had a future. Until now, he was indeed very successful in the Qin army, and he became a captain of the Rong in less than half a year.

Moreover, it took him only half a month to win his wife in a straightforward way, although she was very beautiful. She also had a wealthy businessman who was unwilling to walk with her daughter and thought that he was not worthy of her. He was just a low-level officer with a vicious appearance from Hebei, without family property or a disciple. He fell in love with Mrs. Song at first sight, and once temporarily put the man's ambition aside, showing great tenderness, humor, considerate and chic demeanor. Half a month later, Mrs. Song could no longer speak out of no words, and all worldly gazes and details had long been thrown behind.

However, in the long run, a remarried widow and a bad relationship with her parents' family is not a good thing for a low-level officer who is determined to climb up.

What kept Song Wentong's heart covered with shadow was Song Wang's fickleness after marriage, and he had long thrown the considerate words he said before marriage to marry a chicken and a dog. She tried her best to maintain the duty of an officer's wife, but she complained too much and was too unreasonable. Whenever he said he wanted to work in the military camp and could not go home, she would nag endlessly.

On the other hand, Song Wangshi was very satisfied with him in two aspects. This is also the reason why he fell in love with her at the beginning. She was a beautiful woman and a capable housewife. In addition to nagging, Song Wangshi always cleaned the house with hot hot water and delicious food. The room was always cleaned very clean, the bed was always folded neatly, and she could even pick some wild flowers to put it in the house. She had many charming tricks, and became very cute and likable when she was in good spirits. Although Song Wentong had not come into contact with many women, he knew that many of them were not as hardworking and capable as Song Wangshi. Compared with most people's wives, he could be said to have married a good wife.

But on the way home after a busy day in the yamen, he always couldn't predict what kind of Song Wang he would meet, was the cute Song Wang or the nagging Song Wang?

On an important day like today, her mood will play a very important role in his decision.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard her singing under the grape trellis in a corner of the yard. This corner was also a corridor leading to the kitchen on one side. In summer, this corridor covered with vines was always so cool. Especially in the evening and dusk, they lay on the rattan chair. Before dinner, they usually drink a glass of wine made by Song Wang. He saw her arranging flowers, holding a bouquet of golden osmanthus and putting it into the glass vase given by their colleagues when they got married. She was wearing a royal blue gauze dress, which could reveal the green bellyband inside, revealing two snow-white arms, and a bright yellow ribbon on her waist. Her long black hair tied a horse-drawn bun that was leaning to one side, adding a bit of charm.

At this time, Qin Fan was a hairstyle that was popular among newlywed young women to middle-aged women.

Her welcome gaze was filled with love and joy. Seeing her like this, Song Wentong felt much more relaxed immediately.

"Oh. Look at you. Why didn't you tell me in advance that Old Brother Chen and his wife were coming? If they were not prepared at all, they would be too rude to see the mess in the room as soon as they came." Song Wangshi spoke loudly, and she did not have the fear of ordinary women for men. Her voice was also very nice and a little soft.

"Brother Chen and Mrs. Chen are not outsiders. Don't be so polite. He said he might be a little later. Let's have a small glass first. Madam, okay? Put some ice in the wine, and I'm almost thirsty."

Song Wang walked to the kitchen to pour wine and made a little ice from the cellar. This was one of the benefits of her husband as an officer, Xia Bing and Winter Charcoal.

"My brother Chen came here today and had important things to talk about."

"Oh, then will I avoid it later?" She smiled at him, smiling charmingly.

"No, you will need help making the decision at that time."

"Okay, I can ask Brother Chen to help me see my nearest luck later."

"You really think he is a fortune teller, that's just a guise of his previous work. You don't know yet. Brother Chen has received a new order and he is going to Chang'an."

Song Wangshi looked up, "Really? Going to Chang'an, have you committed a crime?"

Song Wentong shook his head. Chang'an is the capital of the emperor. Even if Chang'an is still in Huang Chao's hands for the time being, it is still an extraordinary place. Huang Chao is about to perish. The towns have gathered together again to Guanzhong. At this time, Chang'an is a place for gatherings. How could those who can be sent there be a crime and demoted?

"It was a promotion, just promoted to Deputy Captain Yi, and was down from the seventh rank."

When he said this, Song Wentong's tone was full of envy. Chen Bing was originally just a rank of the ninth rank, but this time he promoted the deputy lieutenant of Yi and promoted the fifth level in a row. Although this level in five was not promoted at one time, in fact, before that, after entering the capital triumphantly, he was promoted from the Renyong Captain to the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie for his merits. This time, he was actually promoted from the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie and promoted two levels in two levels. However, because the interval between the two promotions was too short, it gave him the feeling of being promoted five levels in a row.

But even so, it is still extremely enviable to be promoted to five levels in one month. Since the last new title system was promulgated, it has become more difficult to get promoted to official positions. Until now, he has only been from the ninth rank.

"Oh, it's amazing that he has been promoted to five levels in a row. He has left. Who will take over his position as your superior?"

"No one has taken over yet, and the original deputy is temporarily replaced." Song Wentong took the wine handed to him by Song Wang. He sat on a rattan chair with his feet on a low couch, sipped the wine, and became confused again.

Song Wangshi had become accustomed to her husband's silence. She had long seen that her husband had something to worry about today. Usually, her husband always straightened his waist, unless he was thinking about it, then he would bend his back, as if he was about to go to the battlefield. He bent down when he entered the yard just now, and even sat on a rattan chair, he put his waist up. Several strands of straight black hair had fallen down and drooped on his forehead. Although he was only twenty-five years old, he was mature as if he was fifty-two years old. He was wearing summer uniforms, which was his habit. He wore training uniforms in the army, and outside, even at home, he liked to wear summer uniforms in the army. He always dressed himself like a soldier, always like this. His strong physique made him more powerful after putting on his military uniform.

"Is there any wine?" he said finally, and she poured him another glass.

"Thank you." Song Wentong nodded to his wife, and then said, "Today, Brother Chen immediately came to me after receiving the transfer order. He suggested that he wanted me to go to Chang'an with him."

"Go to Chang'an, now?"

"Yes, if I accept this invitation, then I can immediately advance to two levels and become the Renyong Captain of the Ninth Grade!"

Song Wentong selectively told his wife about the content of his conversation with the old blind man Chen Bing today. Song Wangshi was still in surprise. After a long time, he said: "Oh my God, Brother Chen went to Chang'an and was promoted to three levels in a row. Now he asked you to go there, and he could also upgrade to two levels in a row. Needless to say, this must be a very dangerous task, right?"

"It's indeed a bit dangerous!"

"Did you agree to this invitation?" A confused and worried expression flashed across Song Wang's face.

"I haven't agreed yet. I'm asking Chen Yi to come over tonight, and I want to make this decision with you."

"Will you have a chance to choose such a thing? Will you listen to my opinion?" Song Wangshi was a little angry.

"According to Brother Chen, if everything goes well this time, at least one or two steps after coming back." Song Wentong said in a low voice. He really wanted to take on this job, but he didn't want to make his newly married wife angry.

"Original, this is indeed a very good suggestion. You can upgrade to two levels by accepting tasks, and you can upgrade to one or two levels after you come back. There is such a good thing."

"Would you let me go to Chang'an?"

"I do? When will my opinion influence your decision again?"

"Anyway, I want to hear what you really think."

Song Wang hesitated for a moment, and his eyes stared at him, "Well, I naturally want you to go to Chang'an. For me, although this means separation, I know that for you, a man is determined to be in all directions, how can he just fall in love with his family and his wife? Now it is the time to establish a career of fame and fortune. If I force you to stay, you may stay, but I will definitely blame me in the end. Besides, I heard that Huang Chao can no longer stay in Chang'an, and maybe when you go, Chang'an has recovered. No matter what, going to Chang'an, you can even reach a few levels. Such things are not something that will happen at any time."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding." Song Wentong said with a smile, his frown dispersed. This was the first time he smiled after returning home. "I won't be too long to go to Chang'an, and I will be back soon."

"But there is a problem. In this way, we just got married. If I accept this position, then I may have to part immediately. You understand, I can't bear to leave you."
