Soldiers come to the world

"Let him in!"

Liu Biao walked back to his seat and sat down. A few days ago, Liu Jing was injured in Xinye, his appearance shocked him, and he didn't know if he was better now.

The door opened, and Liu Jing, who was wearing a military uniform and a soft hat for military officials, walked in quickly, knelt down and bowed, "Nephew pays respects to uncle!"

Liu Biao looked him up and down carefully, and his complexion was better than last time he saw him, but Liu Biao didn't notice Liu Jing's changes last time, and today Liu Biao realized that Liu Jing had grown stronger and stronger than a few months ago, and he It seems to have grown a little taller.

Liu Biao was slightly taken aback, because he was dazzled, and Liu Jing had grown taller.

"Jing'er, why do I think you seem to have grown taller?"

Before the outbreak of the Xinye War, Liu Jing had been practicing underwater for three months. The hard training every night made his body stronger and his strength doubled. He also found that he had grown taller, about an inch taller.

Liu Jing smiled a little embarrassedly: "Reporting to uncle, my nephew has indeed grown an inch taller."

"Hehe! This is a good thing, is your injury better?" Liu Biao asked again with concern,

"Back to my uncle, the scab has already formed, and the doctor said that it will be fine, and it will be fine in a few days.

Liu Biao nodded, changed the subject, and returned to today's business. He took a report from the table and said with a smile, "General Wenpin presented me with an official report yesterday. I said that you are a natural commander, and suggested that I train you well and reuse you. I thought about it for a long time last night, and I decided to let the old general Huang Zhong teach you martial arts strategy, and the old general Huang just agreed."

After speaking, Liu Biao stared at Liu Jing sharply, he didn't want to hear Liu Jing's rejection again.

Liu Jing felt a mixed feeling of joy and regret at the same time. He didn't quite understand Liu Biao's intentions. Could it be that he still didn't want himself and Zhao Yun to get too close, or that he didn't want himself and Liu Bei to get too close? So I found another master for myself.

If it was someone else, of course he would not agree, but now it is Huang Zhong, Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang, Huang Zhong among the five tiger generals, how can he not be tempted?

It's just how he explained to Zhao Yun. After all, Zhao Yun devoted himself to teaching martial arts to himself. Although he didn't have the name of a master and apprentice, he had the feeling of teaching the art. If he really worshiped Huang Zhong as his teacher, how would Zhao Yun feel?

Liu Jing was also in a dilemma, he didn't know how to answer, but he knew one thing in his heart, this time he could no longer disobey Liu Biao's arrangement, and finally changed Liu Biao's view of himself in the Xinye Battle.

If you don't cherish this opportunity and reject Liu Biao again, it will be extremely detrimental to his future future, so let's just agree first.

"Nephew is willing to obey uncle's arrangement!"

Liu Jing's statement made Liu Biao very happy, it was rare for his nephew to agree to his arrangement so readily.

"This matter is settled like this. You go to Nandaying to find General Huang Zhong and General Wang Wei by yourself tomorrow morning. I will explain to him."

"Nephew obeys!"

Liu Biao was in a very good mood and liked Liu Jing quite a lot. He asked with a smile, "After the Xinye Campaign, does it have any effect on you? For example, do you feel that you have suffered injustice?"

After the Battle of Xinye, Liu Biao gave great rewards to the three armies, most of them were rewarded, even the sailors who did not participate in the battle were also rewarded, but Liu Biao suppressed the achievements of Liu Jing and Liu Hu, and deleted their names from the battle report go.

Therefore, almost no one in Xiangyang City knew that Liu Jing had made great achievements, and no one talked about him. Even Liu Bei couldn't stand it. While thanking Liu Biao for his support, he also implicitly reminded Liu Biao that Liu Jing had made great achievements.

But Liu Biao was unmoved, and never said anything, and still let Liu Jing take up his original post as the gatekeeper of Fancheng.

Liu Biao had his own considerations, but he wanted to know whether Liu Jing had any objections to the injustice he suffered.

Liu Jing shook his head. He didn't care about any rewards. He only felt endless sorrow for Deng Wu's death. He even felt that accepting any rewards would be a kind of blasphemy against Deng Wu. He could never forget that Deng Wu looked at him before he died. desperate look.

Liu Biao's refusal to reward him was also in line with his wishes.

"My nephew thanked my uncle for rewarding Deng Wu, and thanked my uncle for the generous compensation for the dead soldiers. My nephew begged my uncle to arrange for Deng Wu's son to go to Lumen Academy. This is my only request, and I have nothing else to ask for."

Liu Biao sighed, "You are a person who values ​​love and righteousness. I will write to ask Lord Pang De to accept Deng Wu's son. In fact, Wen Pin also asked me. He is also very sad about Deng Wu's death. "

"Thank you uncle for the arrangement!"

Liu Jing stood up, "The nephew is gone."

Liu Biao nodded, "If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly, maybe you can go to the state office, don't worry about it."

"Nephew remembers."

Liu Jing saluted and stepped back. Looking at his strong and tall back, Liu Biao thought to himself, "Yi Du is right, Qi'er is too weak to undertake the great cause of Jingzhou. He needs Jing'er to help him. He could really be Qi'er's right-hand man. '

. . . . . . . . .

Liu Jing left Liu Biao's study, and walked quickly to the outer house, perhaps because Yuanjia Road was narrow, just walked out of a courtyard, but met Mrs. Cai at the gate of the courtyard.

Liu Jing walked fast, and the two of them almost collided. Mrs. Cai frowned first, and when she saw that the armored officer in front of her was actually Liu Jing, her two willow eyebrows immediately stood up.

"It's you!"

From the first day of the first lunar month to the present, Mrs. Cai has not seen Liu Jing for more than three months. Liu Jing's life trajectory has no intersection with her, and she even rarely comes to Xiangyang. Mrs. Cai gradually forgot about Liu Jing.

But some memories can never be forgotten, but are temporarily forgotten. At some inadvertent moments, it is like the wind blowing away the sand that covers the memory, and those forgotten past events suddenly appear in front of you.

At this time, Mrs. Cai suddenly thought of her lost child, and the poisonous thorn hidden in her heart stabbed her severely again.

"What are you doing here?" Madam Cai looked at him coldly.

Liu Jing's hatred for Madam Cai has long been used to, and he will not take it to heart. More importantly, the First Battle of Xinye made him go through life and death, and he took many things lightly. mentality has no effect.

Liu Jing gave a salute, and replied lightly: "Report to Madam, Uncle has something to ask me."

"Hmph! I heard that you have been promoted and you are domineering in Fancheng. No one cares about you!"

Mrs. Cai didn't know about Liu Jing's participation in the war. The promotion she was talking about was Liu Jing's promotion from Governor Cao to military marquis three months ago. This was because Liu Biao deliberately didn't mention Liu Jing in front of her.

"Ma'am, I'm serious. I'm just a little military marquis. I don't dare to act like a tyrant in Fancheng. I don't know where Madam got the news from?"

"Since someone told me, Liu Jing, I advise you to be self-aware. Don't think that you can do whatever you want because you are the state shepherd's nephew. Let me tell you, I know everything you do, and the state shepherd knows it too!"

Mrs. Cai sneered for a while, she really wanted to teach Liu Jing a lesson to vent her hatred, but she couldn't find any reason for a while, Liu Jing's tall figure stood in front of her, giving her an invisible sense of oppression, Make her unable to stand.

Mrs. Cai gave Liu Jing a hard look, and walked towards the inner courtyard surrounded by a group of maidservants.

Liu Jing watched her walk away, smiled, turned around and walked away.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

After leaving Liu's mansion, Liu Jing took out the war horse from the stable, got on the horse, galloped on the horse, and headed all the way to Beicheng.

Not long after, Liu Jing entered the North Gate Urn City, at this moment, a group of people on horseback came in front of them, a group of people were chatting and laughing, and a silver bell-like laughter came faintly with the wind.

Gradually, a group of people approached. It was a group of officials' children who had gone outing in the suburbs. The two leaders were Liu Cong and Cai Shaoyu.

Liu Cong wears a golden crown on his head, a white satin brocade robe, and a jade belt around his waist. He rides on a tall horse with a spring breeze on his face, which looks like a jade tree facing the wind.

And beside him, Cai Shaoyu was riding a rouge horse, wearing a light green dress and a red cloak, with vermilion powder on his face, a three-ring bun on his hair, and a jade-studded gold hairpin inserted obliquely, because Because of the excitement, his face was flushed, and there was an uncontrollable smile in his eyes.

She turned her eyes, but saw Liu Jing at a glance, the smile disappeared in her eyes, and the expression on her face became a little uncomfortable.

She also hadn't seen Liu Jing in the past three months, and she got a clear statement from her father that her marriage with Liu Jing had fallen through, so she should be happy.

But she didn't know why, but she felt a little disappointed, especially when she saw Liu Jing and Tao Zhan together, Tao Zhan's beauty made her feel an indescribable jealousy.

Even she didn't understand her own thoughts, of course she didn't think she fell in love with Liu Jing, what she liked was Liu Cong, his understanding, his flattery, with him, she could indulge herself laughing out loud.

But the impression Liu Jing left on her was only fierce and powerful, and she would never forget the scene where he grabbed her arm and threw herself into the yard like a chicken, that was something she had never encountered since she was a child. humiliation.

It was unforgettable for her, and it was hard to let it go. She was full of hatred for Liu Jing, but when Liu Jing and her became strangers and had no relationship with each other, what did she feel she had lost?

It's like something that should belong to her is suddenly lost. Even if she doesn't like it, there is also a sense of loss that she no longer has.

Cai Shaoyu's face was still rosy, and there was still a kind of residual heat from excitement, but a dozen steps away, there was Liu Jing with flat eyes, which made her feel a little flustered, she lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

But Liu Jing didn't look at her at all, ignoring her existence at all, Liu Jing had already left behind this girl who had bothered him for a while.

He bowed his hands to Liu Conggong and said with a smile, "Brother Cong, long time no see."

Most of the dozen or so officials and eunuchs in the back are about [-] or [-] years old, and all of them are furious in fresh clothes, with an uncontrollable sense of superiority on their faces. Among these people, except for one Cai Hong and Liu Jing who have seen it, the rest He didn't know any young people.

More than a dozen people stopped their horses and squinted at Liu Jing. There was more or less disdain in their eyes. Naturally, they didn't know what happened to Liu Jing recently, and their impression of him was still three months ago. In his eyes, Liu Jing's transfer is not a good thing.

From the fat and oily, the coveted Governor Cao of Youjiao to the gatekeeper of Fancheng, everyone in Xiangyang believed that this was the result of Liu Jing offending Zhang Yunhou.

A person who has just come to Xiangyang for only a few months and dares to make trouble and fight against the captain of the navy, this kind of person who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, is easy to be hated by others.

Although Liu Jing is the nephew of the state shepherd, it may be a big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of this group of officials and eunuchs, what is it?

Of course, there is another more important reason, which is the jealousy of peers. There is a sub-official circle in Jingzhou, which is composed of these officials' children. Relying on their father's shadow, these young officials' children regard themselves as the future high-ranking officials of Jingzhou. , They are even more xenophobic than their parents.

However, after Liu Jing, an outlier, caused waves again and again in Jingzhou, it also aroused great repercussions in the Jingzhou vice-official circle, but what he got was not praise, but more jealousy and ridicule.

When Liu Jing was dismissed from the lucrative Youjia Du Cao and changed to Fancheng City Guard Junhou, his demotion in disguise became a joke in the sub-official circles.

Liu Cong knew a little about Liu Jing's participation in the war, but he would never tell anyone about it, which would make Liu Cong appear incompetent. Liu Cong laughed hypocritically and said, "It's rare to see brother Jing in Xiangyang! Brother, where are you going?"

"A bit of business."

Liu Jing smiled faintly, then cupped his hands: "Fancheng still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"Brother Jing is very busy, so please go ahead!"

Liu Jing also ignored Cai Shaoyu, and he turned a blind eye to the group of officials and eunuchs behind him, and rode out of the city.

Everyone looked back at him as he walked away, and whispered, "Too arrogant, you are so arrogant, you don't even understand the most basic etiquette."

"He thinks he is busy and we are idle and ignorant, so he looks down on us, bah! Why are you pretending to be noble?"

Amidst the sarcasm, Cai Shaoyu turned her head and stared fiercely at Liu Jing's back, her expression was very ugly.

Liu Jing didn't pay attention to her, and didn't even look at her directly, as if she didn't exist. This kind of humiliation of being ignored was in sharp contrast to the glory of the stars, which made her feel helpless for a while. Accepting, this filled her with an annoyance of being ignored, which completely ruined her interest in going out today.

"Shaoyu, are you feeling unwell?" Liu Cong asked with concern when he noticed Cai Shaoyu's abnormality.

"It's nothing, I'm going back."

Cai Shaoyu was a little irritable, lost her patience, and her tone was full of anger, "I'm a little tired, go back and rest first."

"I'll take you back!" Liu Cong's voice was very gentle, caring as always.

Cai Shaoyu felt Liu Cong's concern, her anger calmed down a little, her voice softened, "No need, I can go back by myself."

She urged her horse to go into the city, Liu Cong remembered something, hurriedly chased after her and reminded her: "Tomorrow Wangjiang Tower, don't forget."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Cai Shaoyu had lost interest, and replied weakly, and gradually walked away.

"Young Master Cong, what's wrong with her?" A son of an official asked curiously.

"I don't know, maybe she's a little tired."

Liu Cong watched her back go away, and slowly clenched his teeth. He knew that Cai Shaoyu's sudden depression must have something to do with Liu Jing.

For some reason, another beautiful face appeared in Liu Cong's mind, the daughter of the Tao family. She actually rejected his invitation at the beginning. Could it be that he is not as good as Liu Jing?

At this time, Liu Cong felt an inexplicable jealousy towards Liu Jing. Of course, this was related to his father always praising Liu Jing in recent days, but his father had never praised him like this before.

"Damn it!" He cursed secretly in his heart.
