Great Tang princess

Chapter 439 Geng Yunqiang who wants to be promoted

Compared with my brothers and sisters, my mother's letter is relatively formal and serious.

The first few photos basically show that refined salt is selling well in Dongdu recently, and there are hidden guards watching, and no one dares to blatantly store salt at the feet of the emperor.

After all, the amount of refined salt is still not enough. If someone hoards it in large quantities, it will definitely be discovered.

But if you wait until there are too many, there is no need for it, so there is a lot of honesty there.

At the back, the style of painting changed, and I started to chat about homework. The concern for my daughter was beyond words, and it also explained that I was away for the New Year, so I had to remember to take care of myself.

At the same time, she also told her to go to Qingzhou City for more time when she was free. After all, she was a big girl, and if she mixed with a bunch of old men all day because of military training, she would inevitably become too masculine.

Seeing the helplessness revealed between the lines, Li Yuechen smiled knowingly, and couldn't help sticking out his tongue.

Although this old mother always looks calm and cruel on the surface, she seems to be no different from a normal mother at this time.

And Li Yuechen seemed to have seen his mother's appearance when she wrote the pen through this letter.

Thinking about it, her current work should be much easier than before. Her handwriting doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, it seems that after finishing all the work, she takes advantage of the leisure time in the afternoon to make a cup of hot tea by her side, and then relax. Slowly wrote down the thoughts of her daughter.

……

After reading her mother's letter, she was not in a hurry to read Shangguan Wan'er's. Instead, she leaned on the back of the chair, crossed her legs on the table, and stared at the scene outside the window in a daze.

The northern scenery in winter is too monotonous. In addition, this is the seaside, there are no plants, and it looks like a white expanse of snow that has not yet melted.

Looking at the white snowdrifts, Li Yuechen couldn't help thinking of the time when the family built snowmen and had snowball fights when they were young.

It's just that now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the family to gather and play like this...

After recalling it for a while, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, exhaling a puff of hot air.

After seeing that it was getting late, Li Yuechen picked up the last letter on the table, from Shangguan Wan'er.

While the sun is still hanging in the sky and the light is sufficient, it’s good to finish watching it quickly, otherwise the light will be too dark at dusk and it will easily damage your eyesight.

"When His Highness reads this letter, he must be able to understand that Wan'er is missing His Highness! It has been several months since we parted, but Wan'er still often feels that it is not true in her heart... When she falls asleep at night, she always seems to feel that His Highness Still by my side..."

Li Yuechen couldn't help frowning when he saw such a sentence as soon as he came up. This description looks like the princess's mansion is haunted.

But fortunately, the wording seems to be not as nasty as the previous letters, and it is relatively better.

To be honest, the numbness of the previous letters made Li Yuechen think that she might have the potential to be sick...

Maybe it's also because the Chinese New Year is coming. I was obviously in a good mood when I wrote this letter, but it was also very trivial, and I talked about a lot of things in work and life.

It feels like a diary, a bit nagging, but also warm.

The smile on Li Yuechen's face, who read the letter, never disappeared from the beginning to the end, and even stretched out his pink tongue to lick his lips from time to time.

When Xiao He came in with a boiling kettle, she saw Li Yuechen lying on a chair, with his legs crossed on the table in a shapeless manner.

Holding the letter in his left hand, playing with his hair with his right hand, with a smile on his face, and sticking out his tongue to lick his lips from time to time...

"cough!"

"Huh?" Li Yuechen raised his head and nodded when he saw the steaming kettle in her hand, "Put it down!"

Xiao He agreed, put down the kettle and said, "Your Highness, it will be dusk soon, do you..."

"Well, I know." Li Yuechen agreed, "We'll be with the soldiers tonight, you should go back and rest earlier, I might play around with them for a while."

Xiao He quickly agreed, and turned around to go about her own business.

Although she is said to be the princess's personal maid, if a woman is squeezed among a group of elders, both parties will definitely feel awkward.

She is different from Wang Wuqiong. She doesn't wear military uniform, and she doesn't have any common language with the soldiers.

Although Wang Wuqiong is also a woman, but she is His Highness's guard, she is highly skilled, and has a military rank, so those soldiers must not treat her as an ordinary woman.

After she went out, Li Yuechen returned to his previous appearance. After reading the last two sentences of the letter, he gently placed the letter on the table.

Although she had finished reading it, she still stared at the paper on the table in a daze. After a long time, she smiled and said to herself: "It feels good to be missed..."

……

At night, in the canteen of the camp, the remaining soldiers spread out the tables, leaving a large space in the middle for the performers.

The soldiers surrounded the open space in a fan shape, watching the performance of the people in front of them while eating.

Li Yuechen sat in the middle position, surrounded by a group of senior military officers, looking at Geng Yunqiang who had a complicated expression in front of him.

Because he was ordered to perform a show, but he thought about it and didn't know what he should perform better. At this time, he was standing in the open space with a tangled expression.

He looked up and glanced around, both the officers and the soldiers all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and many of them even blushed.

The only one who dares to laugh at him blatantly here is Her Royal Highness.

Not surprisingly, the princess raised her chin at her at this time, telling him to hurry up and not waste time.

Although countless candles were lit in the cafeteria, they were still incomparable to real incandescent lamps. The light was more or less dim, and the shadows on people's faces were heavy.

At this moment, Li Yuechen happened to have her back facing many people, and there were not many candle lights around her, so her face looked particularly gloomy.

Although he was smiling, from Geng Yunqiang's perspective, there was always a feeling that he couldn't help but want to kill someone.

He was slightly taken aback, and then quickly reported loudly: "I can't prepare in time today, so I'll do a set of punches!"

As he said that, he really put on a stance, took a stride, and then started punching.

Sitting directly in front of him, Li Yuechen propped his chin with one hand, admiring casually.

In fact, the martial arts of this era are not good-looking. Many Tai Chi and the like that have become famous in later generations have not yet been formed, and there are no specific routines, so the appreciation is very low.

It's pretty boring just looking at it.

Soon, the soldiers showed a lack of interest, and couldn't help whispering to the comrades next to them.

Geng Yunqiang, who was performing, couldn't bear the lack of interest, and suddenly put away his posture, and waved to the officers next to Li Yuechen: "Well, you guys, come and fight with me!"

"This...isn't appropriate?" Several officers subconsciously retreated a little bit, wondering if it was because they were upset by His Highness that they took it out on them, right?
"Don't talk nonsense! Come here!" Geng Yunqiang waved his hands while twisting his neck, "It happens that I haven't done anything for a long time, it's time to move around."

Li Yuechen suddenly showed a smile: "Then how about I accompany you on activities?"

As soon as these words came out, Geng Yunqiang was slightly taken aback, and then showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "This...Your Highness, don't joke, don't talk about me, even if I add everything up, how can I be His Highness's opponent?"

"Of course I don't use all my strength!" Li Yuechen slowly raised his left hand, with a smile on his face, "I only use my left hand! And, if you can let me move a step, I will promise you a request...any request!"

Hearing this sentence, Geng Yunqiang was a little moved.If he can win, wouldn't it be possible for His Highness to directly promote him to a general?

When Qianniuwei was first formed, it was stipulated that all generals should be conferred by the emperor!If he can get such treatment once, then his Geng family will be prosperous!

Now he is already a senior colonel, only one step away from a major general!

Under the current system, there is only one general like Li Yuechen, and he may be the only such young general in the future.

According to the normal process, if Geng Yunqiang wants to become a major general, at least he needs to make enough military exploits, or slowly build up his qualifications.

Now he is in his early forties, and he doesn't know if he can be promoted to a general before he is fifty.

But now there is an opportunity!

After a few seconds of ideological struggle, Geng Yunqiang raised his head: "The subordinate will be offended!"

"Okay! Courage is commendable!"

Li Yuechen stood up, walked out from behind the desk, and stood two meters away from him.

Then she put her right hand behind her back, swayed her feet forward and backward, and stretched out her left hand to face him: "Don't worry about attacking, I won't hit him with a single punch!"

Geng Yunqiang nodded solemnly and walked over slowly.

The soldiers saw that it was getting lively, and they all focused on the two people in front of them. In fact, they were mainly staring at Li Yuechen.

When this group of recruits were soldiers in the government, they had heard of the princess's superb combat power, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

But many soldiers have seen Li Yuechen's weapons, especially those two hammers, and many even tried to pick them up.

It is already unimaginable to be able to swing a weapon of that weight with one hand.

So at the moment they are all staring at the princess, for fear of missing a little detail.

Geng Yunqiang took a step forward and punched her!

He used to be Li Yuechen's guard, and had participated in many wars with her, so he knew her strength very well, so he didn't hold back this time, and used all his strength.

However, Li Yuechen just raised his hand lightly, and "slapped" his fist in his hand, and her arms and wrists didn't even shake at all!
"Well, the strength is not bad! Come again!" Li Yuechen let go of his hand and gently pushed him out.

"Yes!"

Perhaps because he hadn't moved for a long time, Geng Yunqiang also became a little excited, adjusted his posture, and hit her again.

……

Ten minutes later, Geng Yunqiang lay on the ground out of breath, panting heavily, his chest heaving up and down non-stop.

Li Yuechen, on the other hand, stretched and returned to his seat, thinking in his heart that he almost warmed up a little.

In all fairness, Geng Yunqiang's combat power is actually pretty good, but it's still not enough for a humanoid beast like Li Yuechen.

The soldiers cheered non-stop. Although they didn't see the princess's specific combat power, she really didn't move in the next step under Geng Yunqiang's strong attack just now.

And now there seems to be no sign of being tired, and she has been able to prove her superb combat effectiveness from the side.

Several soldiers even discussed with each other how powerful the princess would be if she shot with all her strength.

An officer next to him couldn't help laughing: "When His Highness was twelve or thirteen years old, he was already able to defeat ten with one... Now, let alone ten people, even ten bears may not be able to fight in front of His Highness." Can win."

Li Yuechen sat down and smiled: "Not to mention, I did fight with white bears before, but ten is exaggerated. If there are two or three, I'm still a little sure."

Hearing this sentence, the soldiers sitting closer couldn't help gasping.

Being able to be a fierce beast in hand, this combat power is no longer at the same level as theirs, it is simply a fairy!
Just about to continue chatting, I saw Li Yuechen waving his hand: "Okay, today's New Year's Eve, let's not talk about those who fight and kill. Later, let's go to the show!"

The boss spoke, and the soldiers who were originally burning with gossip had to let go of their curiosity and began to perform in order.

Entertainment is scarce in this day and age, so these shows are extremely mediocre.

The singing is seriously out of tune, and the fisting skills of gestures are average. There is also a calligraphy performer who thinks his handwriting is good. His handwriting... is indeed better than that of Shangguan Wan'er when he was five years old.

There are also burlesque performers, ugly ones, and even one who comes up to chant sutras!
There is indeed a lack of entertainment in this era, and concepts such as cross talk sketches have not yet been formed. It is indeed not bad to be able to achieve this level.

But Li Yuechen still felt very happy seeing the roaring and shouting of the soldiers around him. At least in this era, the distance between people is indeed much closer.

It was almost time to eat, Li Yuechen whispered to Geng Yunqiang: "Tonight, bring some wine over, be careful not to drink too much, if there is someone absent after the drumbeat tomorrow morning, you are the only one to ask!"

Originally, Geng Yunqiang, who was a little disappointed because he couldn't break through His Highness's one-handed defense, nodded vigorously after hearing this: "Your Highness, don't worry! I promise to take good care of them!"

After a while, when the small trolley came over with the wine jar, the soldiers hadn't reacted yet.

Geng Yunqiang announced loudly: "There is only one bowl for each person! Anyone who drinks too much will be dealt with by military law!"

The soldiers were taken aback for a moment, and then burst into loud cheers, almost knocking down the roof.

Li Yuechen, who was sitting at the front, couldn't help raising his hands to cover his ears, and waited until they finished yelling before letting go.

Wang Wuqiong was a little puzzled: "Why does Your Highness..."

"Soldiers are human too. They also have emotions and desires. When it's time to relax, you should also take a good rest." Li Yuechen smiled slightly, "If you are hungry, go and pour a bowl of it!"

"Thank you, Your Highness! But...how about Your Highness?"

"Well... pour me half a bowl."
