The world is heavy and late

Chapter 280 Aspiring
The reason is very simple. Xu Zhong, who was already feeling a little tired, got up in the middle of the night last night and got caught in the dampness of the cold night. He was very lucky to catch the wind chill.

When Xia Qing woke up, it was rare to find that Xu Zhong seemed to be still asleep. He wanted to poke someone, but he was startled by Xu Zhong's temperature as soon as he started.

After touching Xu Zhong's face and forehead, he didn't know whether to wake Xu Zhong up, so he simply put on his clothes and asked Anping to call the doctor.

Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor came to see him, and cursed Song Qi, a bastard, for coming to the door in the middle of the night for nothing, harming not only himself but others.

But Song Qilang didn't know Xu Zhong's situation, and he didn't have the time to worry about it. When he left Xu Zhong's place yesterday, Song Qi thought a lot.

At first, he wanted to go out with Xia Qing and Xu Zhong because he thought that if his friends could go out, he should be able to, and in addition, during the four months after returning to Beijing, Song Qilang never forgot Suzhou .

Moreover, Song Qi found that he seemed to have returned to his previous life, so it couldn't be said that it was bad, but...well, there was always something wrong.

In the past, Song Qi was a guard for a day, but he only guarded the Suzaku Gate before going out, and now he guards the Palace of Qinzheng. Being caught by his father doing this and that, the rest of the days are spent looking at his son and wife.

Want to say happy?Actually happy, but Song Qi can always think of that period of parade life.

I have been following the emperor during the day, watching him sometimes go around the small vendors on the street. Although he does not understand some questions, he can ask Xu Zhong. After a while, he finds that he seems to understand more things .

Or follow the emperor to chat with ordinary people, pretend to be ordinary people and wander around schools, colleges, government schools, do business with merchants, or even spend a few days in bandit dens.

Anyway, for many things, unlike now, I can only guard at the door, not to be stopped by those who come in, and I am in a daze for the rest of the time.

At night, there are many things that can be done. The king of Xin'an County has the habit of practicing spears, and he will follow behind with a cheeky face. The king of Xin'an County is bold, and he doesn't mind teaching him one. Sometimes the emperor even competes with them. , Xu Zhong watched from the side, or helped the emperor process letters and documents.

It was only then that he realized that he really might not be able to beat the emperor, or even lose badly.

This was actually a small seed planted by the emperor and Xin'an County King. For the first time, he felt the difference between soldiers who went to the battlefield and soldiers who had never been to the battlefield.

When he killed the bandit for the first time, he vomited, vomited so badly that the emperor and Xin'an County King laughed because Xu Zhong didn't vomit.

Xu Zhong has seen human life before, even more cruel and despicable than this scene.

But Song Qi, who had been in the forbidden army all along, did not, so the result can be imagined.

It is no exaggeration to say that Song Qi actually felt a little inferiority complex at that moment, although the inferiority complex caused by comparing with others dissipated quickly.

He liked to listen to the stories of heroes since he was a child, and he had an indescribable heroic complex about loyalty and righteousness. The emperor would often recall with the king of Xin'an County how he was in the army. Song Qi was fascinated by listening to it. He felt that was where he belonged.

The desert, war horses, spears, red tassels, and even the slowly setting sun, the bright moon all night, and the faint rising smoke in the barracks.

Song Qi hadn't seen it before, but his dream was full of those scenes, where gold and iron horses slipped into the dream.

How happy, how chic!
Staying with the emperor for half a year allowed Song Qi to really see the tip of the iceberg of the legend—the supreme son-in-law of the Song family. Being with Xu Zhong for half a year also allowed Song Qi to completely eliminate the time when he saw Xia Qing and Xu Zhong together that day. It's awkward, and the king of Xin'an County.

He knows that there is not only enjoyment in this world, but also protection and change. From the moment he knew Suzhou, he knew he wanted to go.

He could also see that his father didn't want him to go, and his grandfather didn't pay much attention.

But the longer the days in the capital, the unspeakable loneliness and emptiness arose in Song Qi.

It’s not that he’s not happy on such a day, but that he’s happy a little superficially. He’s happy when he’s with his wife and children, he’s happy when he’s drinking and having fun with friends, he’s happy when he’s off duty, and sometimes he’s happy when he feels that his errands are idle. happy.

But even on such a day, he used to want to be a hero, let alone now.

He listened to what Xu Zhong said, he was a bit of a second grader, and he still felt that he was a hero, but he knew the impact of his departure on his wife and children.

Suzhou is the frontier, and there are Hu and Qiang foreigners from west to north. There are frequent frictions. Kucha and Gaochang are also ready to move. The pilgrimage to the Jin has been suspended for three years, but the emperor has been busy learning the wheat seeds from the government. Song Qi is not a child, so he will not understand what these things represent.

Suzhou is no longer the peaceful Suzhou, and now the smoke of Suzhou is gradually rising.

Mrs. Song Qi hadn't fallen asleep at this time, so the sound from outside quickly woke up the person who was just leaning on the table in a light sleep.

"Where did you go in such a hurry?"

Song Qi rarely smiled heartlessly like in the past, but glanced at the gentle wife under the oil lamp and candles and said: "Hui Niang, I want to ask His Majesty to go to Suzhou. Passed the booklet to Mr. Lu."

Mrs. Song Qi was very surprised, she turned her head and asked: "Has my husband reported to father and grandfather?"

Song Qi shook his head, with an unprecedented maturity on his face: "Father won't let me go, and grandfather won't take care of me for the time being."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the place where he had lived for more than [-] years, with an unknown heaviness on his expression, as if the playboy boy who used to fight cocks and walk dogs had begun to grow up slowly.

"I'm about to reach my thirties now, and Changmin is already four years old. I can't go on like this for the rest of my life."

Mrs. Song Qi didn't understand, and there was even two points of condemnation in her eyes. She felt that Song Qi was doing something wrong again, just like she usually likes to hang out with friends.

She looked at Song Qidao: "Husband, since grandfather and the others don't agree, why do you have to go? Isn't it good in the capital? Now our treatment in the mansion can catch up with sister-in-law and the others."

Song Qi retorted: "What's so good about the capital?"

Mrs. Song Qi was stunned, staring at Song Qi, and Song Qi also looked straight into his wife's eyes and said, "What's wrong with Suzhou? It's safe and sound in the capital, but I can only live in panic. I don't want to talk to my grandfather and brother." In the same way, I don’t want to be like my father in the court, but the son of a general has never been on the battlefield in his whole life.”

"Hui Niang, I should have gone outside the capital. I regretted it a long time ago. If I had the courage to resist my grandmother back then, even if I am just a reckless person, robbing the rich and helping the poor would be far happier than being in the capital."

Mrs. Song Qi couldn't believe it, and she continued to search for reasons: "If my husband wants to go out to play in the future, my concubine will definitely not stop you. The capital is so big, and my husband still has many places to go."

Song Qi stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand: "Hui Niang, if you want to stay in the capital, I will leave to you all the things we can get in this room, as well as everything under my name. Try to find my friends, although most of them are unreliable, but as long as you find them, they will definitely help you."

"Even if they can't help you, Xia Qing and his wife will definitely return to Beijing in a few months. You can go to them, and they will take action."

Mrs. Song Qi was even more anxious when she heard Song Qi's parting words, but at this moment, she also felt that her husband was playing petty temper, just like he used to make a fuss about going to the rivers and lakes.

She hadn't looked at her husband carefully for a long time, and Song Qi was still that second-year boy, and he was still worrying, and he could still do things that disturbed the people most of the night.

But Song Qi, no matter he was or is now, is an aspiring young man.
