Horse on the World

Chapter 194
"How can you say that about your sister?" Li Qing looked at the angry girl in shock, "Do you know how much she has suffered and suffered for you? Jiyue, you have grown up, you You should learn to understand her and think about her, she is really suffering, not only physically but also mentally."

Jiyue wept silently, opened her mouth, and finally swallowed the fact that Qingfeng forced her to marry a certain promising general. She knew that as long as she opened her mouth, the general would definitely know about her sister Who was the person talking about? She didn't know if this would bring them disaster. Although Jiyue was young, she was not a little girl who didn't know anything.

The heartbroken Jiyue's tears fell down on the table, and soon became a pool of water stains. Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. He felt that some words were too serious just now. He took out a handkerchief, wanting to wipe away Jiyue's tears, stretched it halfway, but stopped again, the original color of his handkerchief could no longer be distinguished.Seeing the white spots and black spots on it, Li Qing couldn't help grinning with embarrassment.He shook the handkerchief at Jiyue, smiled awkwardly, and put it away again.

Seeing Li Qing's actions, Jiyue couldn't help but burst into laughter, a smile suddenly appeared on a pear-blossoming face, which made Li Qing's eyes light up.

Watching Jiyue take out her handkerchief and gently wipe away the tears, Li Qing asked: "Jiyue, you have lived in Chong County for a long time, and you must have developed feelings for him. You suddenly left, and you really couldn't get used to it for a while. You are familiar with each other, but in Dingzhou, it may be difficult for you to find a few people to talk to. Take your time, you will eventually live in Dingzhou, and staying here all the time is also for the officials and people here Trouble. After all, your identity is here. I'm afraid you don't know how many people are quietly protecting you around you. By the way, Jiyue, after you came back from Dingzhou, you were in the capital city of Chong County. What do you do, you don’t make these shoes every day, do you?”

Jiyue's small face turned red in an instant, and her expression became a little coy and uneasy. She wrung the handkerchief vigorously with both hands, and whispered, "Marshal, after I came back, I still taught those children to read and write every day, just in my spare time. Yu Cai...is the one who does these needlework."

Li Qing had a headache. From seeing the shoes embroidered with Yun Xiang's clothes and Hua Xiangrong, and contacting Jiyue to see some of his abnormal behaviors, he knew that the girl in front of him actually tied a ray of affection to him. He never expected that Jiyue has always been a little girl in his eyes, and most of the time, the concept in his mind is Qingfeng's most beloved and cherished sister, looking at the girl in front of him There were still tears on her face, but she was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and suddenly she felt guilty even if she thought about it.

"Jiyue, um, it's like this. In the future, don't you think I'm such a handsome man. It sounds weird. Although I don't have a name with your sister, in my heart, I still consider myself your brother-in-law. You, you can call me brother-in-law, or elder brother!" Li Qing made a detour, and understood his thoughts in a more subtle way, knowing that the smart girl in front of him should be able to understand what he meant.

Sure enough, Ji Yue's face turned pale in an instant, she was slightly stunned for a while, but then she laughed again, "Okay, then I'll call you big brother from now on, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Li Qing said happily, thinking that Jiyue had already figured it out, "Jiyue, what are your plans for the future? No matter what you think, I can make your wishes come true."

Jiyue tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and said leisurely and fascinated: "Brother, my wish is really very simple. I only hope that one day in the future, I can be with the person I like, and spend some time in his spare time." Sometimes, I can drink tea and talk with him under the flowers among the trees, have dinner with him, watch the moon together, play the piano and dance for him, and let him wear the clothes, shoes and socks that I sewed for him by myself. , when he was busy with official business and galloping on the battlefield, he could burn a stick of incense for him, pray for him silently, so that he could return victorious, and when he came back exhausted, he could take off his bloody robe with his own hands Of course, I also hope that he can love me, love me, cherish me, and miss me. I also want to have a bunch of dolls with him in the future. We play games with the children, read books together, and watch them grow up slowly. Let us grow old together day by day. Brother, do you think my wish will come true one day in the future?"

Li Qing's head began to ache again, Jiyue's bright eyes stared straight at him, her face was a little flushed, her nose fluctuated slightly nervously, her hands were firmly grasping the edge of the table, her body was trembling, so that the table trembled slightly get moving.

Facing Jiyue's bold, almost blatant confession, Li Qing didn't know how to answer, and stood up in a bit of embarrassment: "Jiyue, you are still young, you are still young, you don't have to think about these things now. Let’s talk in a few years, let’s talk in a few years.” Turning around, he strode away like fleeing.

"Brother, I'm not young anymore, I'm almost eighteen!" Ji Yue stood up and shouted behind Li Qing, Li Qing ran even faster.A brave woman is really more terrifying than the enemy, at least Li Qing believes that no matter how fierce the enemy is, she will not let herself escape so quickly and feel so embarrassed.

That night, Li Qing suffered from insomnia.

In the early morning, the snow that had fallen all night finally stopped, and there was a rare sunshine. Looking at the thick snow, Shang Haibo said happily: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year, Marshal, this year's heavy snow indicates that next year we will be in Dingzhou." Another great harvest!"

Li Qing was a little absent-minded, hummed twice, but did not speak. A group of people rode their horses and left the general's mansion slowly. Frost. The so-called Yi people are in the water. Follow it when you wander back, the road is blocked and you climb in, and you follow it when you travel back, and you are in the water."

Li Qing turned his head subconsciously and looked towards the direction of the school. Tang Hu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but immediately met Li Qing's warning gaze, and immediately shut his mouth tightly, and kept silent, while Shang Haibo and Jiyue is not familiar with it, so she didn't pay attention to listen to it. Instead, she talked with Li Qing enthusiastically about the heavy snow that is a good sign for Dingzhou, but for the grassland, such heavy snow means a disaster. It couldn't be better for such a heavy snow.

Everyone stepped on the snow and came to Jiming Lake. After two years of vigorous management in Dingzhou, Jiming Lake has completely become a large barracks. Thousands of reserve soldiers are here to receive training and participate in farming. More and more The barren hills have been transformed into fertile fields, and the area of ​​Jiming Lake is getting bigger and bigger. The cold wind these days has caused Jiming Lake to freeze quickly. He narrowed his eyes.

Teams of soldiers were bare-armed, and more than a dozen people worked together to lift the thick logs down the mountain. Sweat was rolling on their strong muscles. Although there was sunshine, the weather was still very cold, but the bodies of these people But braving the steaming heat, looking at these muscular and powerful men, Li Qing said happily: "Okay, seeing these future soldiers, I have more confidence in defeating the barbarians."

The soldiers in the preliminary service don't have armour, but are uniformed with the blue coarse cloth clothes of the Dingzhou soldiers, and they wear riding boots made of animal skin. damage,.In winter, apart from cutting trees, the reserve soldiers have nothing else to do, and only simple military training is left. Countless teams of soldiers are shouting under the leadership of Guo Chang, or forming A neat four-way column ran along the crowing rooster, or practiced basic skills with wooden spears and swords, while soldiers who had been trained for a long time practiced group coordination formations under the leadership of senior officers.Although it is winter, it is full of heat here.

Shang Haibo watched all this proudly. Although the opening of the reserve training camp was Li Qing's attention, Li Qing only paid attention to it, and he was in charge of the specific operation. The camp has now spread to a considerable scale, and it has achieved initial results, so he can't help but feel proud.

"Marshal, according to what you mean, we have also set up literacy classes among these reserve soldiers. We have invited a gentleman to teach the soldiers how to read. We have to take two hours of literacy classes every day. Now many soldiers can write home letters by themselves. It is." Shang Haibo said.

"This is done well, Mr. Shang. It can be said that this is a matter of merit in the present age and benefit in the future!" Li Qing said: "The more literate people in our Dingzhou, the better. This is a great event to open up the wisdom of the people. Words can make our people better understand honor and disgrace, understand the rise and fall, and absorb new knowledge and skills faster, so that they can create more wealth for our Dingzhou. Mr. Shang, don’t be afraid of people being smart. Get up, don't be afraid that ordinary people will get rich, and hiding wealth among the people is the real way to strengthen the country and strengthen the army. Mr. Shang, we will build more schools and print more books in the future, so that everyone can read afford books, and stop making it a privilege to be able to read and write."

Shang Haibo said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief is far-sighted, Hai Bo is far behind what he sees, so he can only attach his wings and implement the tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief. In the past ten years, there have been dozens of prefectures in Dachu, and none of them can be compared with our Dingzhou.

While the two looked at each other and laughed, the officers in charge of the Jimingze reserve training camp had trotted all the way, and all the reserve soldiers were gathering quickly amidst bursts of horns. Soon, a blue phalanx formed one by one And the flesh-colored shirtless phalanx assembled on the vast school field of Jiming Ze.

"The chief instructor of the reserve training camp, Chen Xingyue, led all the officers to welcome the commander! The commander is mighty!" A burly general saluted Li Qing and said loudly.

"Marshal is mighty!" The officers behind him shouted in unison.

"Marshal is mighty!" All the phalanxes at the back shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.
