Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 294 Why We Should Have Met Me Before We Meet ([-])

Ruan Jingxin clasped his fists to General Gong and said, "General, this subordinate should go take a bath first."

"Go," General Gong waved his hand, very satisfied with him.

At such a young age, he is courageous and resourceful, and his swordsmanship is even more superb, and he will definitely have great fortune in the future.

Sure enough, the emperor immediately praised Ruan Jingxin as Qianqiwei.However, he was promoted again and again in a few days, which obviously caught the emperor's eyes.

Ruan Jingxin passed by with a smile, and concentrated on wiping the bobcat's wet fur. The white wolf was already so sleepy that he curled up in a ball and fell asleep on the cushion in the corner.

Bobcat rubbed his palm, and took the lead to lie down on the simple couch.

It was time for him to go to sleep quickly, Ruan Jingxin blew out the candle, hugged the lynx and closed his eyes.

After fighting for a long time today, he is also tired.

The emperor paid more and more attention to Ruan Jingxin, he mentioned it again and again, and within a few months, he was already on an equal footing with General Gong.

General Gong didn't mind either, after all, Ruan Jingxin, the evil spirit, frightened the Rong people into fleeing as soon as they went to the battlefield.

The corpses of the killed Rong people almost piled up into a hill, and it was impossible to bury them on the spot, but to burn them completely.

Not only has the city been saved, but the Rong people have no intention of advancing further for the time being.

He stroked his beard and became more and more satisfied with Ruan Jingxin.In particular, the white wolf who followed him had faded from his innocence in the past few months and had fully adapted to the battlefield. He was really a great help to the soldiers.

As Ruan Jingxin said, animals can do more than humans can.

As for the lazy lynx, it basks in the sun and sleeps in the tent every day, and its whole body has gained weight.

The last time General Gong expressed his dissatisfaction to Ruan Jingxin face to face, there was not enough food, how could he feed the bobcat with good food, so he sent it away directly, so he could be self-reliant.

Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, there was a long-dead mouse next to his pillow the next morning.

General Gong's face turned blue, needless to say, that lynx must have done a good job!
He really couldn't laugh or cry, this lynx really could understand people's words, and it was very vengeful, just after training it during the day, it caught a mouse and put it next to his pillow at night.

First, it proves that it is not useless, and it is easy to catch mice.

The second is to give him food, so that he won't be told by General Gong that he can't support himself.

Ruan Jingxin nodded Shan Mao's head and couldn't help laughing: "Naughty, how can you play tricks on General Gong?"

Bobcat rubbed against his hand, "meowed" twice in dissatisfaction, and poked Ruan Jingxin's arm with the tip of its tail.

Listening to the bobcat's complaints under the table, the white wolf also raised his head and let out a "wow", causing the soldiers outside the tent to look around frequently.

It's admirable to be in the same room with a white wolf, sleep together, and still sleep.

Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with Ruan Jingxin, a half-baby who kept getting promoted, but now he is convinced.

Who can sleep in the same tent with the white wolf every day like him, without fear of being bitten to death?
When the white wolf went to the battlefield, its white hair was dyed dark red, which showed that it was covered in the blood of the enemy.

Opening his mouth, that row of sharp canine teeth is not for display, it really cost the lives of many Rong people!

The thought of sleeping until midnight and seeing a row of canine teeth on the side of their faces gave the soldiers a chill down their backs.

Fortunately, Ruan Jingxin was able to deal with it indifferently, and was not at all afraid that the white wolf would suddenly go mad and bite at night.

In fact, Ruan Jingxin was sitting in front of the couch, watching the white wolf's wet eyes staring at the lynx, wagging its tail, eagerly wanting the lynx to sleep on the mat with him.

Shan Mao curled up on the couch displeased, while White Wolf whimpered pitifully, turning his head three times at every step, lying on the mat with a heartbroken look.

He couldn't help laughing, knowing that Bobcat slept with White Wolf for a night at the beginning, maybe it was too hot and hugged him too tightly, Bobcat patted his paws down a few times, and White Wolf woke up in a daze, but was scratched by the cat's paws There was a line on the tip of the nose, "Aoao" screamed a few times, and he lay down on the mat with his head curled up and pretended to be dead.

Since then, Shan Mao has never wanted to sleep with the white wolf, preferring to sleep curled up next to the pillow, or tucked into his arms.

Ruan Jingxin stroked the bobcat's soft fur, and the bustle and bustle around him was something he had never imagined.

Wouldn't it be nice if it could go on like this?
Called away by the emperor's servant at night, Ruan Jingxin was puzzled, seeing that even the general Gong was not in the big tent, she fell silent after saluting.

The emperor glanced at the secret report on the table, only to realize that he had an extra son, and he was a full round older than the child in the imperial city.

He should be happy, but seeing that the young man in front of him is so outstanding, he was more concerned that Ruan Jingxin's mother was not from a good background, if the two brothers were together, they would probably fight to the death.

The youngest son is not very old, but Ruan Jingxin has already shown amazing general talent.

It's a pity that such a talent is buried like this, but it may become a great threat to the youngest son in the future!
The emperor is reluctant to just obliterate it like this.

Not to mention that the Rong people are quite afraid of Ruan Jingxin now, with him around for a day, the border town can still be kept.

General Gong is a mighty general, but he is old. Once old General Gong left, no one could take his place.

Obviously Ruan Jingxin has the ability and skill to stabilize the situation in the border town.

In the blink of an eye, the emperor had already made a decision: "You are my son. Back then, you went on tour in modest clothes, and you happened to have a romantic relationship with your mother."

He didn't hide it either, the emperor's art was deeply rooted in his bones, the emperor knew better than anyone else that the family affection an orphan most desires can firmly bind Ruan Jingxin.

After experiencing the baptism of the battlefield, the green young man has long lost his original immaturity. After hearing the emperor's words, he just raised his head in surprise, and soon recovered.

He was not as happy as the emperor imagined, maybe after his grandfather and mother passed away one after another, he really longed for family affection.

Hope there is a relative who will lend a helping hand to him.

It's a pity that in the most difficult time, the father did not show up, and neither did the mother's family. Only old General Gong helped him.

Then between life and death, with the care of Shanmao, he survived.

Ruan Jingxin's longing for her father has faded long ago, whether it's longing or hatred, they have gradually become dispensable as time goes by.

But the heartbroken man who failed his mother is actually the emperor?

Ruan Jingxin sneered in his heart, the emperor must have something to ask for if he said it frankly.

Sure enough, seeing him bowing his head, as if surprised and at a loss, the emperor stroked his beard and smiled: "You still have a younger brother, and I have decided to make him the next prince. Your origin is not revealed now, and if you In Beijing, it is unavoidable to be caught by the censor. It is better to become a general, who can not only share our worries, but also make great achievements in battle and save the people from fire and water."

He appealed to his feelings again, and softened his voice: "You were born in the border town and grew up here. Naturally, you don't want the city to be captured by the Rong people more than anyone else. When the time comes, the people in the city will be homeless, and the children will be homeless." The tragic death, the women and children will be ruined, and the young and strong men will be killed. I hope you will stay here and prevent the Rong people from taking a step forward."

"Yes, I would like to follow the emperor's will." Ruan Jingxin silently agreed, not seeing the emperor's gratified expression, and quickly left.

He returned to the big tent, dismissed the subordinates who were guarding the door of the tent, and went in coldly.

Shanmao squatted on the table, saw Ruan Jingxin coming back, jumped up, and stood firmly on his shoulder.

As if aware of his displeasure, Bobcat's tail poked Ruan Jingxin's cheek, then circled around his neck, rubbing his small head against his temples as if to comfort him.

Ruan Jingxin stretched out his hand to caress Shanmao's back, hugged him, buried his face in its fur, and muttered to himself: "I can tell what the emperor means. He doesn't want me to snatch my younger brother's crown prince." seat, not to mention that chair, because my mother came from a humble background, and because I came from a bad background, so I lost my future path.”

Why did his most respected and beloved mother, the best mother to him, come from a bad background?

She is from the Li family, from a famous family, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

If my grandfather hadn't been demoted and exiled to a border town, my mother might have married into a noble family, got a good husband, and become the mistress of someone's family, living a life of rich clothes and fine food, and a group of maidservants serving her.There will be a pair of children under the knee, maybe more, and then the house will be full of children and grandchildren, and they will live a long life.

Grandpa was framed by a villain tomorrow morning, the emperor ignored him, demoted him easily, and coveted his mother's beauty when he was in private, otherwise how could he have a romantic relationship with a woman of "bad background"?
In the eyes of the emperor, it was a beautiful dream, but it ruined his mother's life.

Mother waited and waited, but she waited for a long time, and died of depression before the emperor looked back at her.

Now the emperor sent someone to investigate his background, but he was afraid that Ruan Jingxin would reveal his identity and rob his younger brother of something?
As expected of an emperor, the first thing he thinks about is not the relationship between father and son, but power and conspiracy.

The emperor was afraid that his military achievements would be too high and he would threaten his younger brother, so he clearly told himself that he could only be a general, not a king?
The corner of Ruan Jingxin's mouth curled up into a sneer, the younger brother who grew up in the imperial palace was just a newborn child, could it be that the emperor really loved him so much that he was worried that he would steal the position that belonged to his younger brother?

However, the emperor was in his prime, while Ruan Jingxin was in his teens, which obviously threatened his status.

What kind of family background is not good, who is the ancestor emperor from a famous family?

The ancestor emperor of the previous dynasty even used to be a beggar, and his ancestor was also born with mud legs. Why did no one dare to say that he was not born because of his bad background and could not be a king?

It was just an excuse for the emperor. It would be better to register an adult prince early than to register a baby who was still waiting to be fed.

Now that he has an heir, he doesn't have to worry about being forced into the palace in his sleep one day and losing his seat as the Ninth Five.

Thinking of her dead mother, Ruan Jingxin finally endured it.

If the emperor wanted him to become a general, then he would become a famous general in the world in the future.

At that time, can the emperor still use family affection to fool him, making Ruan Jingxin continue to work willingly?
