Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 493 Childish!

Hua Yao, who was approved to stay and have lunch together, heaved a sigh of relief in a place where no one else could see. For some reason, he felt like he had escaped a catastrophe.

When he was bumped into by Xue Ruitian before, especially when he was seen by His Majesty, he always felt that he might not be able to pass this test, and even prepared for the worst. If he was unlucky, His Majesty would be furious and be sent home Go, he can't just be so obedient.You must find a way to escape halfway, and if you run away, you will go directly to the south.No matter how difficult the road is and how difficult the life is, even if he is begging for food while walking, he still has to go to the south, to find Liu Shuai, and to fulfill his wish.

Fortunately, he was lucky, His Majesty still agreed with his ideas, and even approved him to stay in the Shen Family Army for a few days to experience it. This was already a pleasant surprise for him, it was no different from a pie in the sky.

While thinking about his own concerns, Hua Yao looked left and right, and instinctively approached Bai Meng. He really didn't want to get too close to His Majesty, Shen Guogong, and General Shen. The aura of these three is too strong. Sitting next to them, after this meal, I'm afraid I'm going to have a stomachache.In addition, he and Xue Ruitian didn't get along very much since they were young. When the two met, they would pinch each other if they couldn't speak a few words.But the two of them didn't have any deep hatred, they just saw each other's displeasure, looking for trouble for nothing.

"A wise move." Bai Meng snorted when she saw Hua Yao sitting next to her, who looked like a wronged daughter-in-law who had been treated unfairly, "Are you unconvinced, or do you have resentment in your heart?" Come out? An imposing man, why are you still in tears! You look like this, and if you really arrive at Liu Shuai's place, within two days, you will be crying and wanting to go home!"

"Commander, don't laugh at me, you don't even know what I've been through these few days!" Hua Yao lowered his head to look at his crumpled and dirty clothes, "When did you see me? Am I like this ghost?"

"You can't take it anymore?" Bai Meng handed him her untouched cup of hot tea, "If you really abandon literature and pursue martial arts, you will be considered tidy now." He patted Xue Ruitian's face next to him Arm, "Ask Lord Hou, it's normal for them to be covered in blood and unkempt during war."

"Actually, it's not a bad thing for you to go to the army, at least it can cure your fault-finding disease! It's a good thing to love cleanliness, but it also depends on time and place!" After hearing Bai Meng's words, Xue Ruitian looked at Hua Yao with a smile , looked up and down, "You are like this, you are very good in war, not to mention anything else, it is normal for our armor not to take off for half a month. I remember the most serious one , After three days of continuous beating, the armor is like a long body, and when it is taken off, accidentally touching the wound on the body, that is the real pain!"

"You..." Hua Yao was born in Xijing and grew up in Xijing. What he saw the most was street ruffians fighting and the daily training of soldiers on the school grounds. His body was covered in dirt and mud. I have reached the limit of my patience, I never thought that the real frontier would look like this. "I...I...you...you..." He stammered for a long time before he could say a whole sentence, "Aren't you generals? Why are you still injured?"

"Lead the soldiers, don't you understand? The generals are not injured? Whose logic is this?" Seeing Hua Yao's little face pale with fright, Xue Ruitian was in an inexplicably good mood, "What about people like us? There are not dozens of large and small scars, and it’s almost the same.”

"You...you are talking nonsense!" Hua Yao swallowed two saliva, and the fingers holding the teacup began to turn white, "Xue Ruitian, I really don't see much in the world, but don't deceive me as a fool. You If you had suffered so many injuries, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager would still allow you to stay at the border? Wouldn't they have transferred you back to Beijing long ago?"

"Oh?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, and poked Song Jue with his elbow, "Why didn't I know you still had such thoughts?"

"What? What's wrong with me?" Hearing Xue Ruitian repeat Hua Yao's words, Song Jue smiled lightly, "Oh, this! The queen mother had this idea, but I persuaded her." Seeing With Hua Yao's surprised gaze, he explained, "I don't understand why, right? The Old Duke and the Old Hou had made an oath before they came to Jiaping Pass, that the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion and Wu Ding Hou Mansion were to guard the northern border of Great Xia. , To ensure the peaceful existence of the northern border, this is the duty, and one day the northern border does not need them, and they will disappear completely."

"The old Duke and the old Hou are righteous!" Bai Meng sighed heavily, "As far as I know, they also require the descendants of the two families to keep this in mind and not have any unreasonable thoughts. The purpose of existence is to protect this land and the people. When my grandfather told me about it, he admired him very much, and this is why I insisted on coming to Jiaping Guancheng." He looked at Shen Haolin, then at Look at Xue Ruitian, "I heard that this is your family law, and all future generations must abide by it."

"Well, this is the first and most important piece of family law." Xue Ruitian nodded, "No matter what happens, you must never leave Jiaping Pass City without His Majesty's order."

"Back then, the late emperor persuaded the two of you, but they didn't listen and insisted on doing so. There was nothing the late emperor could do." Song Jue shrugged and raised an eyebrow at Hua Yao, "So, even if I and the queen mother have any ideas, it can only be It's just an idea, it can't be turned into reality. But..." He glanced at Bai Meng curiously, "It's very good, why are you talking about this?"

"He said that Master Hou lied to him. He obviously didn't suffer any injuries, so he insisted on saying that he was scarred." Bai Meng patted Hua Yao on the shoulder, "You still don't believe me if you say you are innocent and naive. Serve as a soldier Yes, how many of them have never been injured? Even if I, the great commander, spends all day in Beijing, he still suffers major and minor injuries, not to mention border guards like them." He pointed at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "What you heard in Beijing was that the Shen family army won the battle again, and the Duke, Lord Hou, and the general beheaded the enemy's commander-in-chief again, but do you know how many times they almost risked their lives? Throw it on the battlefield?" He took a sip of the teacup that Xue Ruitian handed over to him, and continued, "You have seen their scenery, and imagined that one day you can be so high-spirited, but you never imagined that these scenery Behind the scenes, what a price they have to pay."

"Isn't this normal?" Xue Ruitian sighed, "Most people in Beijing are like this. They see what they want to see, and those they don't see are completely ignored. But , Fortunately, there are Xiaobaizi like you, which makes us very gratified."

"It's not just me, His Majesty is also the same. Every time there is a battle at the border, especially a very critical one, His Majesty can't sleep all night long. He is worried about the Duke, the Marquis, and the two counties. Wang, I am worried about General Shen, I am afraid that if I fall asleep and open my eyes again, I will hear the sad news of these people from the border."

"What's the trouble? We just knew he would be like this, so no matter how difficult the situation or how many injuries he suffered, we will not pass the news back." Xue Ruitian curled his lips, "We said that unless Die in battle, otherwise, only good news will be spread to Beijing."

"Report good news but not bad news." Bai Meng rolled her eyes and looked at Hua Yao seriously, "After hearing this, do you still want to go to Liu Shuai's place?"

Hua Yao looked at Bai Meng, then at Xue Ruitian, lowered his head and thought for a long time.

"You don't have to think about it for so long, you will know what you really think after experiencing it yourself this time." Xue Ruitian smirked, "Didn't you cry and shout to follow Liu Shuai? We can help you."

"Really?" Hua Yao raised his head immediately, "You can't lie to me!"

"The premise is that you can pass my test." Xue Ruitian lightly knocked on the table, "If you can pass my test, there is no need for His Majesty to ask, Benhou will personally write a letter to Mr. Ge and personally recommend you to Liu Shuai."

"Will you be so kind?"

"If you say you are naive, you never admit it. This Marquis won't make fun of your future. Besides, Ben Hou always thinks that a boy has to go out and venture before he can really grow up!"

"Hey, don't talk to me in a lecturing tone, you are not much older than me, don't always think about being the elder of my son!" Hua Yao rolled his eyes, "Just watch, my son will definitely You will be amazed!"

"Really? Then I'll wait and see. I hope you don't let me see the joke."

"Let's go and see!"

Hua Yao glared at Xue Ruitian angrily, but the latter didn't care about his anger at all, and still had a nasty, mocking smile on his face.

Bai Meng, who was sandwiched between these two people, looked to the left, then to the right, and finally shook his head helplessly. If he were to make an evaluation, the two of them were quite childish.
