My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 2987
Liu Mingzhi's hulking body shook, and his hands that were held in vain gradually dropped down seemingly powerlessly.

Seeing the clear expectation in Xue Ning'er's beautiful eyes with complicated eyes, Liu Mingzhi stepped back heavily.

Young Master Liu slowly stopped in front of the stone bench behind him, holding the Wanli Jiangshan carved jade fan in one hand, and leaning on the top of the stone table with the other, he sat down on the stone bench silently.

Husband, she started her expedition to the West on March 28th in the third year of Taiping, and it has been more than three years now.

The concubine... The concubine just wants to know, the husband and the soldiers of the Western Expedition.

When can I go back to my hometown?

The concubines missed him, and the parents at home missed him.

Miss him too, kids!

The concubine just wanted to ask, my soldiers from the Western Expedition of the Great Dragon Dynasty.

When can I come back? '

A word, kept echoing in my mind.

Liu Mingzhi wanted to control himself not to think about it, but he couldn't control his thoughts no matter what.

Xue Ning'er's tone of inquiry was always soft from beginning to end.

Hearing it in the ears gives people a feeling of spring breeze.

However, to ordinary people, this is a soft-spoken, soft tone like a spring breeze.

In the ears of First Young Master Liu, it was like thunder, like a bronze bell, deafening.

When Ren Qingrui saw First Young Master Liu sitting down again, she seemed to react in a daze, and there was a bit of worry in her bright eyes.

"Da...Da Guoguo, you have nothing to do, right?"

Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses, looked sideways at Ren Qingrui with a faint smile and waved his hands.

"Ah? Ah! It's okay, brother, I'm fine."

Liu Mingzhi let out a sigh of relief, leaned over on the stone bench and knocked out the ashes in the cigarette pot, pulled off the cigarette pouch and filled the pot of shredded tobacco again.

"Miss Xue, you, you should get up and sit down first."

"My concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

Liu Mingzhi took out a fire pocket and lit the tobacco, took a deep puff, looked through the lingering smoke in front of him, and looked directly at Xue Ning'er who had already sat down.

"Miss Xue, since the two armies of the imperial court went to the west, every three months or so, the generalissimo of the two armies will send back the family letters of the soldiers of the two armies back to the capital with golden carvings.

The family letters of the soldiers arrived in the capital, and after being sorted out by the imperial military department, they would dispatch horses to distribute to the state government offices in various places.

Finally, after the approval of the state government offices in various places, couriers were dispatched as quickly as possible, and they were distributed to the families of each of the soldiers of the Western Expedition one by one.

In addition, every six months or so, the soldiers of the Western Expedition who transported some important luggage from the land of Xiyi back to the capital will also bring back a few large boxes and letters from home.

In addition to family letters, there are also various special products from the land of Xiyi that the soldiers of the Western Expedition brought back to their families.

The soldiers entrusted the robes to bring back all kinds of specialties and other things from the country, and the imperial court dispatched messengers to hand them over to the families of the soldiers one by one.

The reason why I would tell Miss Xue these things is because I want to ask Miss Xue.

Could it be that in the past three years or so, Miss Xue, haven't you received a letter from Deng Zhiyun's family? "

"Return to Your Majesty, I have received it, my concubine has received it.

As His Majesty just said, every three months or so, the concubine would receive a letter from her husband from thousands of miles away.

Every half a year or so, the concubines would receive family letters and various Xiyi specialties brought back by their husbands, Tuo Pao Ze.

But...but..."

Xue Ning'er stuttered for a long time, but didn't say the rest of the words, as if there was something hard to say.

Liu Mingzhi silently exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and sighed with regret.

From Xue Ning'er's hesitant gaze, Liu Mingzhi already understood what she wanted to say.

"Miss Xue, you don't have to worry that your words will make me unhappy.

No matter what you say, I will forgive you.

Want to say something, but it doesn't hurt to say it. "

Ren Qingrui seemed to have figured something out, nodded her head in agreement, got up, walked to Xue Ning'er and sat down.

Stretching out her hand, she grabbed Xue Ning'er's white and tender palm and patted it, Ren Qingrui said softly, "Sister Ning'er, sister, I know Da Guoguo's personality.

He has always been the kind of person who says one thing, so if you want to say something, just say it. "

Xue Ning'er nodded lightly, and raised her eyes to look at First Young Master Liu, who was puffing on the clouds with a pipe in her hand.

"Your Majesty, if the concubine says something that is not very pleasant, I hope His Majesty will not be offended."

"Of course not, Miss Xue, but it doesn't matter if you say so."

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a letter from home is worth ten thousand pieces of gold.

But no matter how precious family letters are, they are not human after all!
The concubine's husband has been on an expedition for more than three years, and he doesn't know how many more years he will have to wait for the victory.

three years?five years?ten years?

The concubine has been waiting for him for more than three years, and she is not afraid of waiting for him for another three years.

Not to mention three years, five years, ten years, or even longer, courtiers and concubines can wait.

Until the victory of the Western Expeditionary Army and the triumphant return, until the husband returns to his hometown in fine clothes and glory.

As long as you can wait, no matter how long you wait, the concubines are not afraid.

The concubine...the concubine is afraid...the concubine is afraid that she will never be able to wait for her husband to come back.

His Majesty!By saying this, the concubine absolutely did not express any dissatisfaction with His Majesty or the imperial court.

The concubine is lucky for three lives today, to be able to see His Majesty's heavenly face.

Therefore, the concubine felt a little excited for a moment, so she dared to ask your majesty about it.

Ask about your man's return date.

The humble views of the courtiers and concubines are far inferior to His Majesty's foresight.

I also hope that Your Majesty, don't take the absurd words of courtiers and concubines in your heart.

Concubine... Concubine please forgive me.

Long live my emperor, long live long live. "

Liu Mingzhi saw that Xue Ning'er was about to get up again to salute him, so he immediately got up and stopped her.

"Ren girl."

With just one address, Ren Qingrui understood Young Master Liu's meaning, she immediately stood up and pushed Xue Ning'er back on the stone bench.

"Sister Ning'er, Da Guoguo came to Sichuan in low clothes, you don't need to spread so much courtesy."

When Xue Ning'er was about to say something, Liu Mingzhi spoke first.

"Miss Xue."

"My concubine is here."

"I and Maid Ren came to your house to drink tea, I am really not used to you getting up and saluting every now and then.

You don't have to be so polite, you don't have to be so formal, and you don't have to be so polite.

Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable. "

"Yes, my concubine obeys."

Liu Mingzhi looked at the ashes of the dry smoke in his hand, knocked out the ash, and then put the dry smoke on the stone table.

"Miss Xue."

"His Majesty?"

"Miss Xue, tonight on August [-]th, the imperial court's Second Route West Expeditionary Army has already embarked on a journey of thousands of miles.

In addition to the auxiliary soldiers, the soldiers of the Second Army's Western Expedition this time had a total of [-] cavalry.

Calculated according to the time, the [-] soldiers of the Western Expedition should have already left Yumen Pass by this time.

When the Second Route Western Expeditionary Army rushed to Dashi and stationed in the borders of Tianzhu and Tianzhu, there would be 10 elite veterans who were older, weak in energy, lack of physical strength, etc., and evacuated from the borders of the two countries.

These [-] veterans are the elite veterans of the country's ten-thousand-li expedition, and the great army of Dalong's heavenly soldiers.

Under the proper arrangement of the army on the way to the west, the generals of the left and right sides, with the cooperation of the kings of the Western Regions, and under the handling of the court, the troops will return to my Dalong's native territory one after another.

In the end, one hundred thousand elite veterans will return to their hometowns to live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy their old age under the proper arrangement of the imperial military department.

Of course, the situation I mentioned is just one of them.

I, the imperial court, and the Ministry of War will accept the ideas of the hundred thousand elite veterans to the greatest extent.

Whether they choose to return to their hometown to live and work in peace and contentment, or they will choose to garrison the various borders of our Dalong Heavenly Dynasty.

On this point, I fully respect their own ideas.

For the imperial court and the Ministry of War, I will handle it properly.

In a word, no matter what choice they finally made.

The imperial court, I will properly handle the follow-up matters.

I, Liu Mingzhi, the king of a country in Dalong, shall be my son today.

I will never let down any soldiers who threw their heads and blood for the imperial court. "

Ren Qingrui looked at First Young Master Liu with a serious expression on his face, and there was an undisguised admiration in his bright eyes.

"Big fruit."

"Miss Xue."

"Ah? Ah! The concubine is here."

"There are some things that I want to tell you clearly."

"His Majesty?"

"Whether among the [-] elite veterans who have been withdrawn from the territory of Dashi and Tianzhu, there will be your husband Deng Zhiyun, I can't guarantee you about this.

There is no way to give you a guarantee.

Maybe there will be, maybe not.

Everything depends on God's will.

However, I hope you don't get your hopes up too much. "

"My concubine understands."

"Deng Zhiyun is the second batch of recruits from the Six Guards of the New Army to join the Polu Army and the Huxiao Battalion.

Back then when I led the army to march north, this kid went all the way from a young recruit to the position of General Zhong Lang, the forward of the Tiger Roaring Battalion.

During the Northern Expedition of a million-strong army, this kid fought bravely, and he would make meritorious deeds every time he went to battle.

Among the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the Six Guards of the new army, this kid is also the most famous figure.

It is precisely because of this illustrious qualifications that he will become one of the generals in the Western Expedition Army.

During the army's western expedition, Deng Zhiyun, as always, had outstanding military exploits, and he made outstanding achievements repeatedly on the battlefield.

I roughly remember that he seems to have been promoted from the forward general of the sixth rank to the general Xuanwei of the fourth rank.

After returning to the imperial court, the troops of the Western Expedition can be added to the list of generals, and it seems that his name is on the list.

Probably so, I don't remember the exact circumstances. "

"Your Majesty, indeed.

The concubine's husband had already told the concubine in his last letter that he had been promoted to general Xuanwei from the fourth rank. "

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression, picked up the tea and rinsed his mouth, and looked at Xue Ning'er with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Miss Xue, Deng Zhiyun is in his twenties today? 27, or 28?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my concubine's husband is 28 years old this year."

"It's so fast, when he first entered the Tiger Xiao Camp of the Polu Army, he was just a young man in his prime.

In the blink of an eye, he was already 28. "

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this that my concubine dared to ask you, when... when did the soldiers of the Western Expedition..."

"Miss Xue."

"His Majesty."

"I'm still saying what I said before, whether there will be a boy like your husband Deng Zhiyun among the [-] elite veterans who will return to the court in the future, I can't guarantee it for you.

Deng Zhiyun is only 28 years old now, so he was in the army at the time he was in the past.

With his qualifications and age, his prospects in the army, his future in the army is still very long!

Therefore, the chances of him being able to return to court as a teacher are extremely small.

It can even be said to be negligible, even very slim. "

Xue Ning'er's pretty face froze for a moment, and she remained silent for a long time with a complicated expression, a bitter smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, my concubine...the concubine understands."

Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup in his hand, got up and walked to the edge of the gazebo, shook the carved jade fan in his hand, and looked quietly at the archery target in front of him.

After staring intently at the target with two arrows stuck in it for a long time, Young Master Liu looked sideways at Xue Ning'er.

"Miss Xue."

"My concubine is here."

"If you really really want Deng Zhiyun to return to his hometown, after I return to Beijing.

In the Golden Eagle Biography to the Western Expedition Army, a letter was specially decreed to the Marshal of the Left Army, ordering Deng Zhiyun to return to my Dalong homeland.

For every soldier who has contributed to the imperial court, as well as their family members, I will always try my best to satisfy their wishes.

But this matter is not trivial, I still hope that you can consider it carefully.

After all, your thoughts cannot represent that boy Deng Zhiyun's thoughts.

I may fulfill your dream of husband and wife reunion, or I may do bad things with good intentions. "

Xue Ning'er's delicate body trembled, and her expression became hesitant.

She is not a fool, so she naturally understands that Liu Mingzhi's words are for her own sake.

Good guys are ambitions everywhere.

My own thoughts may not necessarily be my husband's thoughts.

I have never doubted my husband's love for me.

However, I am also very clear about my husband's ambition to make contributions.

If because of my request, His Majesty writes a special decree, which delays...

Xue Ning'er thought about it for a while, and she had already made up her mind.

"His Majesty."

"Miss Xue, please tell me."

"Chen Qie, Chen Qie chooses to let nature take its course."

Liu Mingzhi gently closed the folding fan in his hand, and looked at Xue Ning'er with complicated eyes.

"Hey, miss Xue, don't you think about it any more?"

"Your Majesty, from the beginning to the end, the concubine never intended to let the husband come back for a reunion immediately.

The purpose of the concubine from the beginning was just to ask His Majesty, when will the concubine's husband and the soldiers from the western expedition come back. "

Liu Mingzhi nodded silently and let out a light breath.

"so?"

"No matter when my husband returns, my concubine will always wait.

Until the day when my husband returned to his hometown after a great victory.

The concubine's words are not very obedient, even if he waits until the husband's soul returns to his hometown in the end.

The concubine will also wait forever. "

Liu Mingzhi's right hand holding the folding fan tightened suddenly, and he looked up at the cloudless blue sky.

After a long time, Young Master Liu withdrew his gaze and nodded heavily.

"Miss Xue."

"My concubine is here."

"Thank you for your tea hospitality today, and we will take our leave first."
