Brother Wanfu

Chapter 103 I will accompany you
It rained all night, and the early morning sky showed a little white light in the rain and fog, and it was as gray as if covered by gauze.

Recently, the imperial court and the rebels have been fighting frequently. The Japanese pirates have smelled the smell of blood. They probed their brains near the coast and tried again and again. Just ten days ago, they attacked a village by the sea at night. Fortunately, there was a team of coastal defense officers and soldiers patrolling nearby. After hearing the news, they rushed over, and the casualties of the common people were not too many. On the contrary, although the team of officers and soldiers managed to repel the pirates, they also suffered half of the casualties.

Those are all veterans under Tang Ting's command, they are the people who served under his tent when he was in the Shen family army.And it was not the first time that these soldiers had been wounded in battle with Japanese pirates. There were frequent sea troubles. The soldiers in his army were all placed in the most dangerous places, and their manpower was not as abundant as before.

Tang Ting got up early and went to patrol the army as usual. Halfway through the patrol, he heard that the two officers and soldiers who repelled the Japanese pirates that day had not recovered from their injuries. They closed their eyes in the night rain last night.

Tang Ting's heart sank, he looked up at the gray sky, not knowing when it would clear up.

In the afternoon, I heard something suddenly.

The officers and soldiers of the guards in the south were mobilized, and they were about to start a war with the Guangsu Army again.

This incident has been getting more and more strange. The court's war to wipe out the rebels has been going on, but the weather has become more and more severe, and the war has become rarer.The guard to the west of him originally only fought against the Guangsu army, but after the Suzheng army took down Xuzhou, there was also pressure from the Suzheng army in the north.

The Suzheng army failed to face the enemy on both sides, and the officers and soldiers caught between the two rebels were trembling instead.

Now that the imperial court is going to mobilize troops again, it can be seen that it wants to break this situation. If the Suzheng army can't beat it, then go to fight the Guangsu army.

Tang Ting can only say that such a strategy is not bad, at least it is not a strategy to fight the number of wounded soldiers.

Most importantly, this has nothing to do with the coastal defense officers and soldiers he leads.

After Qin Guanzhong of Qingzhou Wei rebelled, he continued to stay in Qingzhou because of the coastal defense. If the rebels were like this, the imperial army would naturally have to take care of the coast first.

These news are far away from Tang Ting. Just as his wife said, they just want to live a stable life for themselves, even if they lower their heads, bend their waists, and bear with it.

As soon as Tang Ting returned to his study in the guard post after patrolling, he saw a guard coming to invite him, "Master Commander invites Mr. Tang to go and taste tea."

The commander invited him to drink tea?
Tang Ting's eyelids twitched.

Now the commander of Heshan Guard, his immediate superior, when the Shen family army was at its peak, this person's official rank could be two ranks lower than his. This person has become his boss, but on the contrary, he is often squeezed out. Wearing a pair of small shoes on his feet does not tear his face, but it is also painful to squeeze.

What does this mean about tasting tea? Tang Ting doesn't think that this person has changed his temper.

He went there anxiously, and even changed into clean clothes, making sure that he would not be disrespectful to wake up at 01:30.

Along the way, Tang Ting heard the hypocritical voice of commander Li Zhuang.

"It's so cold and it's raining, why can't the concierge tell me? So that I can personally hold an umbrella and go to meet him."

Hearing this, Tang Ting hurriedly quickened his pace, and said without entering the door, "How can I ask the commander to greet you? My lord, please sit back, because the subordinate is late."

"Why are you late? It's obviously not the right time for me to look for you. You are the hero of our guard. Without you, the Heshan Guard would have died a long time ago. How can we keep the coastal defenses as solid as gold?"

These words are true, Commander Li Zhuangli did not have the ability to guard the coast, until Tang Ting was transferred to his command, Heshan Guard was frequently named and praised by the capital command post.

But such a fact further highlights Li Zhuang's mediocrity and Tang Ting's heroism.

On weekdays, Tang Ting strictly restrained the subordinates, no one was allowed to credit themselves with merit, and everyone said that it was Commander Li who commanded well.

Only in this way can he be more secure.

But today, these words actually came out of Li Zhuang's mouth.

Tang Ting's heart skipped a beat, he repeatedly said no, and wanted to compliment Li Zhuang with all his strength as usual, but he didn't want Li Zhuang to wave his hand at him.

"There are no outsiders here, why are you still talking about those lies between me? Do I still know what I am capable of?"

This made Tang Ting even more uneasy.

Suddenly "open and honest" today, what does Li Zhuang mean?
He didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear that he would make Li Zhuang even more dissatisfied if he couldn't say a word well.

But Li Zhuang sat down with a smile, and said, "I know, with Mr. Tang's reputation and status in the Shen family's army, the little deputy commander of the Little Heshan Guard is a Qucai, at least the least, and it should be me Abdicate to let the virtuous, and let Mr. Tang sit in this rightful seat."

When the voice fell to the ground, Tang Ting stood up immediately and said in a hurry.

"Don't dare, don't dare! Tang Ting's abilities are limited, and it all depends on the command of the Commander. There is no chance that Xiao wants to be promoted to another position. The Commander, don't think too much!"

He is ten million and ten million, and everyone can see that he really has no place like Li Zhuang.

But a person's ability is there, even if he doesn't want to, it doesn't mean it won't become a reality.

Li Zhuang had already seen it clearly.

He glanced at Tang Ting and smiled softly.

"Master Tang and I don't speak dark words. I really feel that Master Tang has been wronged in this position. It's just that," he paused when he said this, and unhurriedly picked up the teacup and drank it. Sipping tea, he suddenly looked at Tang Ting, "It's just that I don't want this position, so why don't I come forward and help Master Tang find a better position."

These words made Tang Ting dumbfounded.

Li Zhuang came forward to find a better position for him?What's the meaning?
Li Zhuang didn't let him guess, and said directly.

"The imperial court's war with the Guangsu Army this time is seriously about to start a war. Originally, the manpower was not enough, and troops and generals had to be dispatched. Where did the people come from, they would naturally come from our neighboring guards. Heshan Guard It’s also indispensable. But, this time, I’ll report you to the top too. Go and wipe out the rebels. If you can make great contributions, you don’t need to be a deputy commander under me. At that time, Master Tang will dislike me for being useless!"

Li Zhuang was still talking, making Tang Ting dazed.

". The war will be in the next year, and it will be less than half a month after the full battle. You must not be used to the soldiers next to you. I will report all your old troops and follow you when the time comes. You can go with peace of mind."

He forgot how Tang Ting left Li Zhuang's office.

It was raining again in the gray sky, and the raindrops fell on people's faces icy cold.

Tang Ting was walking in the rain, suddenly wanted to laugh.

The days of bowing your head and bending over for so long, just looking for a little stability, is it finally over?

At noon that day, Li Zhuang counted all of Tang Ting's old troops, it's hard for him to remember so clearly, including the wounded soldiers and disabled generals.

Tang Ting couldn't help sneering, but when he saw his wife and children at home, he couldn't even sneer.

He told his wife anyway.

"...I have to go after the Chinese New Year."

Yan Shi was dumbfounded and didn't speak for a long time.

"How did this happen? So many people in your old department were injured because of the anti-Japanese war, and they practiced naval warfare. How do you fight against the rebels? Isn't this going to kill people?"

Yan became anxious, "Is it because Bai Chen, Yue Ling, and Shen Xiao are fighting against the imperial army? He knew about Li Zhuang, so he sent you out to prevent him from being implicated?"

Before finishing speaking, Tang Ting shook his head.

"There are no rumors about Ah Xiao and the others outside. Don't you know that you have been afraid that they would influence me, and secretly inquired about many people? No one knows, how did Li Zhuang know? This matter has nothing to do with them, but Li Zhuang can't tolerate me. It doesn't matter."

"Then you can only go? How about we find a relationship and see if we can pull you out of this quagmire? There is no one easy to deal with in these rebels, and the wounded and disabled generals under your command can't bear it." Stay!"

But Tang Ting said it was too late.

"The war is about to start, how can we find someone? What's more, the emperor in the capital is furious because of the rebels. At this time, if I step back, don't I hand over the handle to others? Over the years, there are still very few people staring at me. ?"

"I can only go? Can I only go?"

Tang Ting said that he had to go, and he looked at his wife with a flustered face.

"Don't worry too much. Take good care of the children at home. I have been in the battlefield for so many years. I can't say it well. It's just like what Li Zhuang said. We don't have to bend over here to suffer. Already!"

Tang Ting comforted his wife like this, but he didn't have any thoughts in his heart that could comfort him.

If he wins, it is impossible for him to be promoted in the current army; if he loses, it will be the day he will be beheaded.

Yanzhou City, Princess Mansion.

When Qin Shen arrived, he saw the little girl wrapped in a thick red cape, holding a gray rabbit in her arms, standing in the corner sheltered from the wind, watching the little maid playing firecrackers.

The little maids were bold, and the firecrackers were loud and loud, but she was not afraid. When the firecrackers went off, she covered the rabbit's ears first, and asked the rabbit, "Fatty, are you scared?"

Qin Shen watched from behind her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

But soon, the firecrackers in the hands of the little maids were all set off, and she seemed to have more to say, so she asked the little maid.

"Is it all over? Is it gone?"

The little maid bowed to her, "Go back to the princess, it's been half an hour, it's all over."

After hearing this, she was still standing there looking at the firecracker ashes all over the ground, reluctant to leave.

Su Ye was at the side persuading her.

"Princess, go back. I've been standing for a long time. It's so cold."

"I don't think it's cold. I wish I could watch it for a while. It used to be deserted in Zhucheng, but it's not as lively as it is now."

When she was in Zhucheng, her father didn't let her go out indiscriminately. Apart from occasionally going to the nearby Li's house, she also wandered around the nearby teahouses. On days like Chinese New Year, her father was naturally in the Qin residence and would not agree with her. She celebrates the New Year together.

So what kind of lonely life did she live in the past ten years when she grew up?
Qin Shen lowered his eyes to look at her one more time, and walked slowly behind her.

"When I came here just now, I saw children gathering outside to set off firecrackers."

As soon as he spoke, she turned and looked up.

"Big brother."

In front of the little maids, she only called him in a low voice.

That voice was like a feather floating down from the sky, slowly spinning and landing on a windless sunny day.

Qin Shen also softened his voice. "Want to go?"

Before she finished speaking, she nodded hastily.

"Where is it? I'll let Changzi harness the horse and sneak over to have a look."

Of course Qin Tian wanted to go, but if she let this elder brother accompany her, firstly, she felt that he might not have time, and secondly, she did not dare to get too close to him, for fear that her random thoughts would be revealed and he would notice.

Therefore, she only needs him to tell her where she is, and she can go there by herself.

But he gave her a silent look.

"The princess has other arrangements for me?"

"Huh? No." Qin Tian was surprised.

"Then why did you ask Changzi to accompany you?"

Qin Tian was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to answer his question.

She looked up at him and heard him say something softly.

"I'll go with you."

These words were wrapped around the person like a new quilt warmed by the stove.

Qin Tian knew that he had thoughts that he shouldn't have again, but he still couldn't help but nodded slightly in this soft voice.

"it is good."
