Ji Tang

Chapter 1223 Things have changed and people have changed!
Ten miles away from the exit of the ancient road, Ji Song took a look at the sky and urged: "Speed ​​up the march and get out before dark!"

"promise!"

When the soldiers learned that the distance to the exit was less than ten miles, they almost jumped up with excitement.Although taking this road saves a lot of distance, this ancient road is not easy to walk.

Walking close to the abyss at every turn, looking at the clouds and mist below less than three steps away from me, would scare anyone half to death.This is still a road that has been expanded and repaired. In the past, if we took this road, if hundreds of people died first, God would take care of it.

Under the rapid march, smoke and dust were everywhere, and you could see clearly even from a distance~
Xue Li sighed. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was ready to take a rest. It seemed that he couldn't wait any longer today.

"Report!"

Just when he was about to leave, the scouts who were investigating from the front suddenly rushed over and shouted: "General, there is a lot of smoke and dust in front of us. It seems that a large group of people is coming this way!"

shuh~
"What? Can you see clearly?"

Xue Li quickly stood up and said excitedly.

"The villain will not be mistaken!"

Xue Li pondered for a moment and said, "Go and call General Wu, and I'll take someone to take a look!"

After saying this, without waiting for the other party to respond, he gathered all his troops and headed towards the entrance of the ancient road.When Wu Liuer arrived, he was so angry that he jumped up and cursed Xue Li for not waiting for him. He was simply not a son of a man~
But the coach is gone, so he, the deputy general, can't just leave as well, right?If my husband knew this, he would be extremely disappointed in himself.So, he could only curse and shout to make Xue Li look good, but at the same time, he had to step up the preparation of the army. If he wasn't sir, it would be a big deal.

Ji Song was sitting in the carriage doing nothing at this time, and he had no intention of reading a book. Instead, he raised the curtain and looked at the valley at dusk.It was early autumn, the weather had started to get cold, and sometimes it would snow on the top of the mountain.

Just when he was thinking about what verses to use to describe such a beautiful scene for later people to admire, his ears twitched and he heard only the echo of the roar of horse hooves coming from the mountain road ahead!

"Go to the front immediately to investigate the situation!"

Ji Song didn't dare to neglect, his face instantly became serious, and while urging Daniu to drive out for exploration, he began to order the army to stop advancing and get ready for battle.

He didn't bring many people. In addition to two thousand heavy armored cavalry and two thousand heavily armored foot soldiers, he also brought three thousand light cavalry.That adds up to 7000 people.

If a person like this were to encounter an army of cannibals and be in such an environment, he would probably fall into despair.This is why he ordered Xue Li to rush to the exit of the mountain road.

But what he didn't know was that his caution saved the life of Xue Li, a disciple.If it had been one more night, or if his tone was not harsh enough, what might have been waiting for him would be the news of a huge defeat!
Tread~
Daniel came back with a happy face, which made Ji Song sigh in relief.

"Master, Mr. Xue Li is here to greet us!"

Xue Li is his disciple, and in the Ji family, he is considered to be the direct descendant of the family, so everyone calls them Young Master.

"hey kid"

I wanted to say that this kid was just messing around, but I thought about it and let it go. With this guy's stability, I'm afraid he had already arranged the army before he came.

Soon, a group of cavalry came to the carriage unobstructed.Xue Li almost shed tears when he saw the people sitting in the carriage facing the smiling people!
The devil knows how he got through this period of time. Every day he was either fighting or on the way to fight.There are ruins everywhere, and corpses are everywhere when you open your eyes!

He had been soft-hearted, blamed himself, and stayed up all night.But when he let a group of people go and led people to find and beat them that night, and when he saw the corpse of Pao Ze who paid the price with his life for his kindness as a woman, his heart hardened.

He never thought that he would cry one day, but when he saw this person who played both the role of a preacher and a teacher in his life, and also the role of a father, he could no longer help his eyes turning red.

He hugged the people on the carriage tightly and choked!

Ji Song trembled all over, feeling suddenly distressed.But he still held back his laughter and said, "What's wrong? Are you being wronged outside? Why are you still crying? You're not afraid of people's jokes!"

After waiting for a while, Xue Li calmed down and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, I"

"Okay, the teachers all know it, they all know it!"

Ji Song interrupted him, looked him up and down, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, he is strong and stable. He did a good job this time and did not disappoint me."

"teacher"

Ji Song shook his head and warned: "Remember, you must stand firm in your position in this world. A person without support cannot go far. But you must also remember who is one of your own and what is your own." If you are not one of your own, don't wander around. This is the foundation for people to stand on the present. When you enjoy the benefits that this class brings to you, you have to understand that it is not impermanent, and it requires you to strive for greater benefits for it. "

Seeing that he was a little confused, he smiled, pulled him into the carriage, and said, "Come on, let's talk as we walk.

Then he said to Daniel: "Let's set off!"

"promise!"

"."

In the carriage, Xue Li was a little reserved. Who would have thought that this man was the god of murder that frightened the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu?
Ji Song muttered: "I know what you have done during this time, so don't be burdened. This is a military order, a military order for me."

"I have never believed in Huairou. Even if there is, it is Huairou under absolute control. We were born in the Tang Dynasty, live in the Tang Dynasty, and our roots are also in the Tang Dynasty."

"In order to make the Tang Dynasty better and more powerful, as generals, we must go through all the obstacles for it and open up territories for it. This is the responsibility of soldiers and our destiny! When one day the general can no longer support it, When the country that raises it develops, that is the turning point from birth to decline for that country.”

"When the general cherishes his life, when the civil servants begin to criticize, and when the emperor cannot control the court, that is the end of the dynasty!"

"What is governance by inaction? What is governance by hanging on to the arch? What is the prosperity of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? That is all a lie. It is just a dream created by Confucians in their hearts!"

Xue Li opened his mouth wide and looked at the teacher with dull eyes. Today's teacher's words simply overturned his outlook. He thought the person in front of him was the teacher?Are you crazy? You can say this?

"What? Scared?"

Xue Li came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm confused!"

Ji Song nodded and sighed: "Dong Zhongshu's tricks are so good. He can use the telepathy of heaven and man to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. In addition, the Han Dynasty is indeed neat. The accumulation of 400 years and dozens of generations has completely made Confucianism a Confucianism.”

"I have said all this to tell you that there is nothing in this world that my Ji family can treat like a god. If there is, then we will do everything we can to destroy him!"

"Between people, between people and ethnic groups, and between countries, there is nothing but interests. If one party rises, the other party will inevitably weaken. This is the way of heaven!"

"Natural selection, the eater survives, this is an eternal truth. Although some people have put on layers of seemingly benign coats for him, it is undeniable that his essence looks at the weak and the strong!" "When you get started! I told you that day. I don’t have that many rules in my profession. Don’t bully the weak, don’t kill each other, anything else is free! Now I will tell you one more thing.”

Xue Li was sitting upright, but he lay down and said easily: "The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. While being loyal to the king, you should also let the king respect you. This is what you should do as a smart person."

"Do you understand?"

Xue Li nodded first, but then shook his head.

Ji Song smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "If you don't understand, don't think about it. You will understand when the time comes."

While talking, the army came out of the ancient road entrance, and the oncoming general made Ji Song stunned. Why did this look so familiar?
-
After leaving the Tianshan Ancient Road, Ji Song ordered people to set up camp.It's still a long way from Suiye City, so it won't be too late to leave tomorrow.

But the atmosphere in the tent was a little solid at this moment. Ji Song scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Wu Liuer who looked aggrieved and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.Could it be said: Oh, who are you?

If he dares to say this, look at the situation, this kid can find a rope and hang himself.

He glared at Xue Li, who was snickering on the side, and said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Why don't you pour wine for this um, your junior brother? You don't look like a senior brother!"

Wu Liu'er's eyes lit up, and Xue Li suppressed a smile and said, "What about that, junior brother, come and pour you some wine!"

After saying that, he poured Manman a large glass. Wu Liuer was not polite and drank it in one gulp!

Ji Song was relieved. When this boy knelt in front of him and called him sir, he was shocked. He had never heard that he had such a big disciple. Who is this?

When he learned that this boy was Wu Liu'er, he suddenly realized.But it's not his fault. I haven't seen him since that time. When I got married, I was still fighting in the South China Sea, and when I came back, I went to Anxi.

When I arrived in Anxi, I had already forgotten that there was such a person, and I didn’t even think about it!
Those people in the capital often come to see him, but how long has it been since he and Wu Liu'er saw each other?When we first met, he was an orphan in the military. Now he is the father of several children, and he doesn’t even recognize him!

If I remember correctly, Wu Liuer's name was given to him by himself.I just didn’t expect that the boy back then would also become a general of the Tang Dynasty. Things are really unpredictable!

"Are you Xue Li's deputy general now?" he asked curiously.

wow~
Wu Liu'er stood up immediately and said loudly: "Wu Liu'er, the deputy general of the left wing of the Western Expeditionary Army, the Protector of Shule Prefecture in Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, pays homage to the general!"

"Okay, okay, you're fine!"

Ji Song looked delighted: "I didn't expect that a young man would become the mainstay of my Tang Dynasty!"

Wu Liu'er, on the other hand, said with a serious look on his face: "You are the one who taught me well. If you hadn't disliked us and taught me math, where would my current achievements have come from? It's just a pity."

Seeing his expression, Ji Song was puzzled, but Xue Li understood very well.He whispered: "Of the dozen or so people you taught at the beginning, now there are only eight left."

Eight?

He was silent for a long time, then looked at Wu Liu'er and said, "Thank you for all your hard work these years!"

"It's not hard work. Really, compared to you, this pain is nothing. It's just that they are not blessed and can no longer listen to your teachings. Their biggest wish during their lifetime is to be taught by you again!"

Ji Song was shocked. He didn't expect that he just taught a few children when he was bored. How many years have passed, and they still remember them?

"Do they have children?"

Now that everyone is gone, everything they say is lies, and they can only hope to make some compensation for their children.To be honest, I didn't take them to heart at all and just regarded them as a chance encounter.

But this chance encounter brought about earth-shaking changes for them.

Although he only taught for more than a month, in terms of arithmetic, he was qualified to be a minor official in the army.With these, they can use it as a springboard to go further and further step by step.

But the swords in the army have no eyes, so he is not surprised at all when someone dies in battle, and he even said that he had already taken it lightly!

"Thanks to the great kindness of the old lady, we returned to the capital to visit you a few years ago, but you went to Nanhai instead. After knowing our experience, you didn't think we were vulgar and found daughters from several good families in Zhuangzi to betrothed to us. "

When he said this, he had a tender look on his face, which showed that he was extremely satisfied with his wife.

"Most of them have children, but if they don't, we brothers are planning to adopt one of them when the time comes, and we can't do anything to make them lose their incense. With the royal family's pension and the care of our brothers, we are still doing well. .”

"That's good!"

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will come down first when I go back this time. Even if you do something out of the ordinary, Your Majesty will not blame you. You must not be polite!"

Wu Liuer just thought that he felt sorry for them and wanted to refuse, but Xue Li stopped him!
"Now that the teacher has said it, don't be polite. As the saying goes, don't dare to refuse the gift from the elders. Besides, it's good for the deceased brothers. Even if you don't think about them, you have to think about the children, right?"

Wu Liu'er was stunned for a moment, but seeing the sincerity on his gentleman's face, he stopped refusing.

Then he said some more words. After Wu Liuer left, Xue Li solemnly said: "Teacher, what did you mean just now?"

slap~
Xue Li looked at the teacher with an aggrieved expression, covering the back of his neck, as if to say, why are you hitting me for nothing?
"Hmph, begging for a fight!"

He glared at the boy angrily and said, "I won't tell you some things because you shouldn't know. Just do your own thing well and don't think about it. Do you still expect a disabled person like me to help you?" Can’t we protect you?”

Xue Li exploded when he heard this and shouted: "Don't look down on others!"

But when I saw the teacher's calm gaze, I suddenly felt like a wilted eggplant, and whispered: "We are not bad either, there are four marquises!"

"Without any future, the Marquis is satisfied?"

Ji Song became angry after hearing this and angrily said: "There are not many others in the Tang Dynasty, but there are so many people with titles. Wang Jue, don't even think about it. If you don't want to rebel, don't touch this title in front of you. If you touch it, you will die!" "

"But the duke can still look forward to it. The worst he can do is be a county prince, right?"

Hearing the teacher's disgusted tone, Xue Li almost choked to death.Teacher, that’s the Duke, the Duke, he’s talking like a melon on the street.
