Chapter 11 Chen Jingyuan, what's your name!
Jia Hui, who had a bright future, was so angry that his whole body was shaking. His hands and feet were cold on a hot day, and he was about to pass. He felt that his future was ruined!
Looking at the bastard looking at him with a smile, Jia Hui's scalp went numb.
The one surrounded by the brothers was none other than Chen Jingyuan!
After the army arrived at Hotan City, the Hotan garrison had been ordered to prepare beef jerky, cheese and other portable, non-perishable, and very filling foods.
Don’t worry about the water, you can just chew the snow water.
So he brought some wine, which was not high in alcohol and not easy to freeze. After the last supply on the territory of the Protectorate, Jia Hui gave the order to cross the Kunlun Mountains!
Fortunately, it is only the end of September, and the weather is getting colder, but still bearable. According to the original plan, they will cross the Kunlun Mountains, cross no man's land, and then cross the rugged Karakoram Mountains before the end of October.<
/p>
Arriving at the southern foot of the Karakoram Mountains, and finally arriving near Japan and Earth, from that point on, their marching plan would become day and night. Then they would march eastward in a battle-supporting mode, and finally reach the destination of this trip.
The end point is where Heshuote’s royal court is——Luoxue.
So far, the plan is going very smoothly.
Then as expected, something unexpected happened.
That bitch Chen Jingyuan is following you!
Not two days after entering the Kunlun Mountains, a member of the cavalry team responsible for cutting off the rear came to Jia Hui. Jia Hui thought something had happened, so he met him.
Then the whole person becomes bad.
"No, didn't we agree to take you to Yecheng at most before setting off? If you don't stay well in Yecheng, how could you show up here? Chen Laosi, you can do it, you are quite good at hiding!"
Jia Hui's mind has already seen Chen Jingyuan's various unexpected situations, including slipping and falling off a cliff, freezing to death, starving to death, getting lost and missing, etc. She suddenly felt that her future was bleak, and for the first time she had the idea of returning home and giving up the surprise attack.
"We are brothers. Although I am a civil servant now, I have also practiced archery and horse training since I was a child. In terms of martial arts, I am one of the best among our brothers. Whatever you are looking at, I am talking about you, Hou Rui. If you don't agree, Lianlian
."
Hou Rui in the crowd immediately shut his mouth.
"Brother Hui, why don't you bring Chen Si with you? He's already here, and he's undoubtedly not bad either." Shi Yuanxiu thought it was no big deal and advised Jia Hui.
Am I worried about martial arts?
The brothers around him began to persuade Jia Hui. They were still very happy with Chen Jingyuan's arrival.
Good brothers should act together!
The two present here can be regarded as the few remaining "scumbags". They set out from the capital with more than 200 brothers back then, and now there are only a dozen brothers around them. Although Chen Jingyuan came relatively late, they are still regarded as them.
Our own people.
I have never fought side by side with everyone. Now that Chen Jingyuan has followed, the last bit of regret has been made up for.
"It's not a matter of coming or not!" Jia Hui pinched his eyebrows, exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Then why?" Shui Che didn't understand why Jia Hui had such a big reaction. Logically speaking, it's a good thing for brothers to come to help, and it won't interfere with the calculation of military merit.
"Are you sure you want to know?" After making up his mind, Jia Hui did not panic anymore and looked around everyone present, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Niu Zhao spoke on behalf of everyone: "Brother Hui, we are all brothers, so what should we hide? He, Chen Yuan, can still be a prince!"
Chen Jingyuan’s pseudonym in the Duhu Mansion is Chen Yuan.
Jia Hui took a deep look at Niu Zhao and nodded slowly.
Only the call of the wind remains.
"That's true!" Niu Zhao took a breath and looked at Jia Hui, praying that Jia Hui could tell him something.
"Don't deceive yourself, you have already understood, he Chen Yuan, ah no, Chen Jingyuan, is the one you think, the fourth son of the emperor, Chen Jingyuan!"
There was a thump in the crowd, and everyone looked back. Liu Li, who was born in the Yongyi House, sat on the ground, shivering. It was this guy who tricked Chen Jingyuan into eating unprepared raw hump, which caused Chen Laosi's death.
I vomited several times and didn't eat for three days.
I understand, I understand completely.
At this time, even Niu Zhao, who was most supportive of Chen Jingyuan, was speechless.
"Liu Li, weren't you quite arrogant when you were humping me? Why were you paralyzed with fear?"
"Ah this, Your Royal Highness, this is me"
"Okay, since I call you brother and you call me brother, then we will be brothers for life. Don't treat me like a prince!
Brothers are going to fight together on the battlefield, so I can't just watch. If you still think of me as a brother, then don't say anything. You all know that I'm clumsy and can't say anything sensational, but this is what's in my heart.
"If you think I'm a brother after I've finished speaking, let's go talk together."
After Chen Jingyuan finished speaking, he walked out of the tent, leaving only Jia Hui and others.
Just as Jia Hui was about to say something, Chen Jingyuan poked his head into the tent and said coquettishly.
"Ah, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I can't go back anyway. As a group of people go back, what if an avalanche buries me? Let alone the title, I guess it's best for you to ask for it.
Are you falling into the trap of a bandit? You don’t want to protect the prince and have your house confiscated by the emperor, right?"
After saying that, he immediately ran away, and shouts and curses kept coming from the tent.
After the few people who cursed were forcefully suppressed by Jia Hui, everyone in the tent looked at each other and smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone who is a concubine is not well received by the adults in the family, and adding a jealous wife to the mix will make life even more difficult. Jia Hui, who is doted on by the older generation, is an anomaly here.
The people who were sent out to serve in the army did not sigh as the family thought. They were all young men. Instead, everyone felt that being sent out to join the army was really a time for our generation to make great achievements and show off our ambitions. They all wanted to do something and feel proud.<
/p>
In the military, we also made close friends, brothers who could trust each other with their lives.
Apart from being in jail together, we have all experienced the four iron pillars of life. In fact, we all cherish the few brothers we have left.
Jia Hui stood up and left the tent to find Chen Jingyuan.
Since we can’t go back, it’s better to talk about some things.
Chen Jingyuan was warming himself by the fire in the tent. When the rest of his team saw the general looking for someone, they wisely left the tent, leaving the two of them talking alone.
"Fourth, you know, everyone is actually quite envious of you. Of course, I'm not envious of Chen Yuan, but of Chen Jingyuan." Jia Hui added a piece of cow dung to the bonfire.
This was pulled out by oxen delivering supplies.
After smelling it for several days, everyone is used to the smell of burning cow dung.
"Actually, we talked about you when we first arrived in the northwest. It was nothing more than a little envy.
Everyone is a bastard, but you are the emperor's bastard, and your treatment is not much different from that of a legitimate prince. You will be crowned king after the training, but it is much better than those of us who have to work hard on our own."
Jia Hui paused, sighed, and continued.
"We are different. We are said to be the grandsons of the Duke's palace, but in fact many of our brothers live according to the looks of their wives. Our lives are not as comfortable as those of our peers from ordinary people's homes. Some even have to be accompanied by slaves.
Smiley face.
Don’t believe me, remember Fu Qi who died in the battle? He was Fu Chang, the third-ranking general of the Yongping Prefecture. He had no other abilities but kept to himself and was a good man.
It's a pity that he passed away a few years ago.
Brother Qi's father was very kind to him when he was still alive, which may be related to the fact that he was also a concubine.
But what happened after he died? Brother Qi, his biological brother, lived like a dog in the uncle's house after he became a lord.
His wife, Mrs. Hong, was a jealous person. She was the one who killed Brother Qi’s mother, but his father was too weak to say anything.
The old lady of the Fu family did not dare to offend the Hong family. Even the servants who accompanied the family with the Hong family became excited. Brother Qi was driven to live in the groom's yard next to the stable.
Not to mention that the usual monthly money was deducted, and the rest had to be kept smiling by those old servants, let alone in the kitchen. They were just working on cabbage and tofu all day long, and Brother Qi looked like a stick."
p>
Thinking of Fu Qi's thin body, Jia Hui's eyes felt astringent.
"If the emperor hadn't asked each family to send people to serve in the border town, he would have been frustrated by the Hong family sooner or later. So brother Qi is actually very happy to be thrown out of the family. This may be his only chance to turn around.
Later, he joined Ye Bu Shu because of his good equestrian skills. In every battle, he ran to the place closest to the enemy to spy. Then he died in the battle. He was shot through the throat by Timur's eagle shooter, and his body was recovered.
It stinks all the time.
I am not trying to show pity by saying this. In fact, all of us have this mentality. Although loyalty is part of the reason for this expedition.
But the biggest reason is that after the battle with Heshuote is over, there will be no major wars for a long time. After all, the Monan Mengwu in the north and the Jurchens in Liaodong were both crippled by the emperor. If there are wars, they will be sporadic rebellions at most. Next time
I don’t know when we will see this kind of war to destroy the country again.
So, everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity, while they are young and passionate, dare to fight and fight hard, and everyone wants to give it a last try."
Chen Jingyuan was a little stunned. In his heart, the youthful loyalty was mixed with interests, which made him a little uncomfortable. But after all, he was born in the royal family and was within the acceptable range. He was just a little disappointed.
"In addition to six or seven people like me and Shui Che, Shi Yuanxiu, who have already accumulated enough titles, there are still a dozen brothers who have not accumulated enough after three years of fighting.
At this juncture, life doesn't matter anymore. Even if you die in battle, you can bring back glory to your mother and brothers and sisters, so that they can live a better life at home. It would be better if you survive."
Jia Hui took a sip of wine to warm up and grinned at Chen Jingyuan.
"It's the same for me. My grandfather has passed away, and my father-in-law is someone I can't count on. My father was demoted several ranks in succession because of Prince Li's affairs, and he is already a first-class general.
Even if the eldest son of a concubine like me is Yin Feng, according to the rules, he is just a junior military attaché of the seventh or eighth rank. Depending on the situation, my father will not go to the Governor's Mansion to run connections with the Ministry of War for me. In the end, it seems that the junior guard officer in the corner of the corner is
It’s my final fate, and I don’t accept this fate.”
Jia Hui took another swig of wine.
"I grew up taking medicinal baths and eating medicinal food since I was three years old. My grandfather, the Grand Duke of Rongguo, personally taught me the art of war. The most skilled soldiers in the family taught me the art of battle formation. When I was eight years old,
I started practicing equestrian archery.
It would be fine if I had never owned these, but since I have suffered so much, I shouldn’t rot in those places. I also have my own ambitions!"
Jia Hui stood up and looked at the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the tent. He continued to look into the distance. The bright moon was also partially obscured by the mountain peaks.
Chapter completed!
