long live the queen

Chapter 34

For Wei Yunqing, asking Yan Rusong to talk about heroic deeds is similar to inviting a national marshal to talk about the past in modern times. She is very curious and looking forward to it.

But for Yan Rusong, if he was asked to tell his own story and "heroic deeds" in front of so many people, how could he do such a boastful thing?
"...I am ashamed that I haven't created many... heroic deeds since I joined the army." Yan Rusong said slightly embarrassed.

Wei Yunqing blinked and changed his method: "Then tell us the story of your time in the army?"

Yan Rusong has a great reputation to the outside world, Wei Yunqing knows this. After all, the jailer in Xuancheng, Zhou Tong, admires him extremely. If he said that there were no heroic deeds, she would not believe it, but she asked her. Only then did I realize that some people might be able to boast about how brave they are, but General Yan probably couldn't do it, so she should be more tactful.

Hearing that Wei Yunqing changed the way of asking questions, Yan Rusong's expression was slightly relaxed, but he was also a little embarrassed.He is not a taciturn person, but he is not a boastful person either. If you want him to tell a story like a storyteller, he really doesn't know where to start.And he still has doubts: how could Miss Wei be interested in hearing those boring stories in the army?

Seeing Yan Rusong's silence and hesitation on his face, Wei Yunqing couldn't bear it.He is a promising young man who relies on actions and speaks with strength, but she forced him to use his words. It is probably difficult for him. She should let him go.

She thought for a while, turned her gaze to Deng Hong and said with a smile: "Deng Hong, didn't you follow General Yan a long time ago? How about you say something?"

Deng Hong was startled, and turned his head to look at Yan Rusong. He remembered that he had wanted to praise his general in front of Miss Wei for his bravery, but was stopped by the general, and now he dared not make his own claim.

Yan Rusong pondered for a moment, then said: "Deng Hong's time with me is still short, let me do the talking."

Since Miss Wei is interested in listening, why not just talk about it?He didn't want to disappoint her.

Deng Hong didn't need to speak now, he thought, the general really changed his temper in front of Miss Wei.He continued to reach out to grab the melon seeds, but when he met Lu Cui's eyes, his hand froze, and he silently retracted it.

"That's great." Wei Yunqing smiled, "General Yan, when did you join the army?"

"That year when I won the martial arts examination, it coincided with the Nanmiao Rebellion, so I went out with Mr. He." Yan Rusong was somewhat restrained.

Deng Hong continued: "I know this, the general won the champion of martial arts at that time! It's a pity that I was still young at that time, and I couldn't see the heroic appearance of the general."

Wei Yunqing listened carefully, and wanted to laugh in his heart, Deng Hong's flattering skills are also good.

But this time Yan Rusong did not stop Deng Hong, he even thought it would be good to have Deng Hong's supplement, because there are some things he said that he is not self-confident, but it is the truth, Miss Wei may want to know.

He continued: "It took three months for the first expedition. At that time, Mr. He ordered me to be the vanguard to take down a stronghold of the Nanmiao Rebellion. Ashamedly, I was young and energetic at that time, with little knowledge, and almost fell into the trap. After an ambush, he lost a lot of troops and escaped back..." Thinking of the glorious years when he first joined the army, Yan Rusong showed a trace of nostalgia on his face, and he was no longer as cramped as before.

"Then what happened afterwards?" As the best listener, Wei Yunqing asked nervously.The rest of the people also looked nervous and looked at Yan Rusong one after another.

Yan Rusong smiled: "Thanks to Mr. He for not giving up, he gave me a second chance and ordered me to lead a strong attack and take that stronghold."

"He Zongbing is really Bole, really amazing." Wei Yunqing praised.With this one sentence, she praised two people. To praise the general soldier is Bole, isn't it just to praise Yan Rusong as a thousand-mile horse?

Why couldn't Yan Rusong hear what she meant?There was a little joy in his heart, but he didn't answer the words, but continued to talk about what happened later.

Wei Yunqing, Lu Cui, Lan Tian, ​​and Deng Hong all listened very carefully, exclaiming from time to time, and Wei Yunqing, as a qualified listener, even praised from time to time, asking "What then?" and so on, so that Yan Rusong could continue talking.

When the kitchen brought the chicken soup, it had already talked about what happened after Deng Honglai, so Deng Hong also talked more and added a lot of details.

"General Yan, you have really worked hard these days!" Wei Yunqing put the chicken soup in front of Yan Rusong graciously, "If you hadn't been guarding, what would have happened to this girder!"

After listening to the story of Yan Rusong's joining the army for a long time, Wei Yunqing's admiration for him increased to another level.When she first heard Zhou Tong talk about Yan Rusong, although she would agree, but at that time she didn't know him, so naturally she didn't have much admiration.Later, Yan Rusong rescued her, and she was very grateful to him, but she didn't know much about his military ability.

But now, she knew that except for the first time when he was almost ambushed in the first battle of Nanmiao, he had never failed in various battles.Of course, he was really humble when he said it himself, and he didn't feel proud when he talked about the battle after battle, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing, but she couldn't help but admire it.A hundred battles and victories, what a powerful resume, in any era, it should be a special book.It has been eight years since he joined the army, and he has never lost a single defeat. It is no wonder that he has such great prestige among the people.

If Yang Yi hadn't insisted on the imperial conquest and left Yan Rusong in the rear during the Great Song's invasion of Daliang, it would have been impossible for the entire army to be wiped out, and the entire battlefield would have been reversed.But now?The army led by Yang Yi was buried north of Xuancheng, and the remaining army in Jinyang was small. Facing the numerical advantage of the Song army, they could only take a defensive position and fought extremely aggrieved.

At this time, Wei Yunqing especially wanted to speak ill of Yang Yi. Without Yang Yi, a useless and arrogant little emperor, the country of Daliang would really be better!But she also had a sense of propriety, holding back and not saying anything.

"Miss Wei...that's a ridiculous compliment." Yan Rusong rarely heard such straightforward praise, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

"General Yan, drink chicken soup quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Wei Yunqing smiled.

Yan Rusong nodded: "Thank you."

"I am thanking you on behalf of the entire Daliang people." Wei Yunqing said solemnly, then she turned to Lu Cui and Lan Tian, ​​and asked, "Do you think so?"

Lan Tian chuckled: "Miss Wei is right, if it wasn't for General Yan, Jinyang might have fallen into the hands of Song Dynasty now."

"Yes, yes! General Yan, everyone calls you God of War!" Lu Cui said boldly with her face flushed.

In the past, they would not have dared to talk to Yan Rusong like this, but now their leader is Wei Yunqing, an outsider who is totally out of tune with this era?Subtly, their way of doing things is also changing little by little.

Yan Rusong couldn't bear to be praised in person like this, so he hurriedly lowered his head and drank the chicken soup.

"Sister Yunqing, I have finished reading those three books!"

Someone suddenly pushed the door open, and the cheerful voice showed the owner's high interest.

Hearing this voice, several people around the round table reacted greatly.Everyone except Wei Yunqing stood up, Lu Cui and Lan Tian hurriedly retreated behind Wei Yunqing, Yan Rusong got up and turned to Yang Yi, saluted, Deng Hong ran behind him, bowed his head and did not speak.

Only Wei Yunqing was still sitting upright on the stool, looking at the visitor in surprise.

The smile on Yang Yi's face quickly disappeared when facing so many people in the room, he frowned and said, "General Yan, why are you here?"

Shocked, his voice was a little shrill and questioning.

It's really hard to answer this question, Yan Rusong paused, and said, "The last general will accept..."

"General Yan was invited by me." Wei Yunqing continued, but immediately changed the subject, "You finished the book, so fast?"

But Yang Yi didn't want to just be taken away from the topic. He looked at Yan Rusong and said, "General Yan, this is Sister Yunqing's boudoir."

"I didn't see you shy away from it." Wei Yunqing replied directly, without giving Yang Yi any face.

Yang Yi was choked, and turned his eyes to Wei Yunqing, staring, obviously angry and stuffy.

Wei Yunqing sighed slightly, and slowed down his tone: "I didn't meet General Yan alone, what does it matter if everyone is here? And, Ayi, you know that I don't care about these false names."

Yang Yi stared at Wei Yunqing, knowing that she was telling him that she was a fairy in the sky, and she didn't care about the red tape in the lower realm.He also understands this, but he just doesn't like to see Sister Yun Qing and Yan Rusong interacting like this!
Wei Yunqing and Yang Yi confronted each other, and the rest of them didn't dare to show their anger. Yan Rusong was also a little embarrassed at first, so he opened his mouth after seeing this: "Your Majesty, General Mo still has some things to do, General Rong Mo please leave first."

He knew that Miss Wei and the emperor were very close. Even if she contradicted the emperor, no one dared to say anything more, and the emperor also recognized Miss Wei as "sister". go.

"Back off." Yang Yi put up the score and said without expression.

Yan Rusong saluted, and quickly led Deng Hong back out.

"You all go out!" Yang Yi yelled at Lan Tian and Lu Cui unhappily.

The two were so frightened that they ran out quickly.

Wei Yunqing was a little annoyed by Yang Yi's inexplicable anger, and ignored him, peeling the melon seeds and just pretending that he wasn't there.

Just as Yang Yi was about to sit down, he caught sight of the chicken soup on the table, and the anger in his heart gradually rose. Sister Yunqing actually stewed chicken soup for Yan Rusong to drink, and he didn't even have it!

He waved his sleeves angrily, and swept the chicken soup onto the ground, and the bowl immediately shattered, and Lan Tian and Lu Cui, who were guarding outside, were frightened, afraid that Wei Yunqing would be hurt by Yang Yi's anger, but no one dared Go in and find out.
