Chapter 123: An emergency in the middle of the night

As soon as the latest diary was delivered to Luxi Academy, Su Qi couldn't wait to read it over and over again, but this time, like the previous few times, there was still no news that Duke Ding Guo's injury had improved, so his expectations were once again vain.

, continue to fall back into great worries and tensions.

However, in most half a month, Su Qi lost weight and looked haggard. He was now covered in black and blue. He was always in a trance. He couldn't eat or eat, and couldn't sleep well, let alone have the mind to study and class.

It's right.

Gu Yunji was worried and stroked his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be anxious, sometimes there is no news, the best news. Although the Duke Dingguo awakens, he did not say that his injury worsens. At least the situation is still there.

Not too bad.”

Cheng Yan also said: "Yes, Su Qi, Duke Ding Guo is the general of Xuanfu Town, so he will definitely give him the best wound medicine and hire the best military doctor. There will be no big problems. Maybe he is now

I've woken up, but the news hasn't come yet."

Su Qi looked pale and tried to pull the corner of his mouth to squeeze out a smile: "You are right, I understand. But my father is healthy. Generally speaking, as long as the arrow is not shot to the vital point, he will not be hurt like this.

It's so heavy that it won't make him unconscious. I'm worried that the arrow will be poisoned..."

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan were shocked when they heard this, and immediately realized why Su Qi was so depressed during this period. The father, who was thousands of miles away, was uncertain about his life and death. If a son could still eat, sleep and chat and laugh as usual, then it would be fine.

If you have no heart, you are worse than animals.

Seeing the two of them looking solemn, Su Qi pretended to be relaxed and enlightened himself: "But it's not a day or two that I know that the Tatars can use poison. There are already various corresponding strategies in the army, and maybe they will be solved soon.

The medicine has been prepared.”

Su Qi's eyes were clearly red at this moment, and his voice was a little hoarse, but he was still forcing his face to smile, just to make Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan feel relieved and did not want them to worry too much because of themselves.

After hearing what he said, the two felt more and more sour in their hearts, and they could only follow him: "It must be so. Duke Ding will get better soon."

As if he felt that he had lost his composure, Su Qi wiped his tears randomly, turned his head to sort out his emotions, and changed the topic: "Speaking of this, there will be another month to be the Dragon Boat Festival. We didn't have a holiday last year, so you are going to do this year

How to pass?"

Gu Yunji said: "This year is the imperial examination year, August is the provincial examination, and next March is the imperial examination, and everyone will go to the next exam. The academy will not be on holiday, but will be closed directly as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival arrives. It will not be reopened until the palace examination is completed next year.

Class starts. If we pass the Jinshi this time, we will not come back to class.”

Su Qi was stunned when he heard this: "Yes, this year is the imperial examination year, and you all have to take the exam."

Seeing this, Gu Yunji sighed imperceptibly. In fact, this was something Xu Chengyu and the gentlemen of the Academy have repeatedly emphasized recently, but Su Qi has been absent-minded and has not listened much to the lectures, so he has no impression of it.

Cheng Yan said: "We have to go to the local area for household registration to take the exam. We naturally have to go back to Songjiang Mansion. What about you? Are you going back to the capital alone?"

"It's the same whether I'm going back or not, it's the same whether I'm going to take the exam. Anyway, I can't pass the exam." Su Qi shrugged and his tone was careless, "After I am a general, I will lead troops to fight sooner or later, and it's unlikely that I will be admitted to the officialdom by taking the imperial examination.

Being a pure civil servant, fame and fortune are just icing on the cake. There is no big difference or not."

"The reason why I can still be so leisurely now is that the court cannot use me. When one day my old man can't hold on, I will naturally..."

As he spoke, Su Qi's voice came to an abrupt end and he fell silent.

Su Qi didn't expect that he would go back again after talking. Looking at Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan who were reluctant to speak in front of him, he suddenly felt his chest was blocked and smiled miserably at the two of them: "It's okay, don't look like this."

I am very good at it. I am actually prepared for such things. Most of the military families are like this."

His expression was open and natural, but he felt a little sad when he heard Gu Yunji. He didn't know whether the "prepared" he said was the death of a designated national government, or the inevitable path for him to join the army, or whether it was both.

"Whether my grandfather, my father, or myself, I was born to be destined to bury my whole life in the army. This is the fate of our Su family's children." Su Qi said in a sad tone, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"In the future, either they will die on the battlefield and sacrifice their lives for the country; or they will be suspicious of the king, and finally..."

In the end, if the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, it will not be a good death. Gu Yunji silently answered what Su Qi had not finished saying in his heart.

Perhaps this topic was a bit heavy, and Su Qi couldn't continue to talk, so he simply avoided it, took a deep breath to calm down his exposed emotions, climbed up Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan's shoulders one left and one right, and his voice became lighter:

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about me. I'm very strong and will not be defeated by these things. But you, the imperial examination is about to be in the morning. You must work hard and pass the provincial examination exam in one go. I can wait in the capital.

See you guys are wearing flowers and red flowers, and parading on horseback!”

"At that time, I will be able to show off everywhere: Have you seen that the new Jinshi Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan are my best brothers! If they are covered in the court in the future, I will be able to walk sideways!"

After being teased by him, the solemn atmosphere suddenly became much easier. Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan looked at each other and did not continue the previous topic in a tacit understanding.

In the middle of the night that day, just as the entire academy was in a sweet dream, a sudden burst of knocks on the door of the Meizi No. 7 House:

"Su Qi! Gu Yunji! Wake up! Open the door!"

Hearing the sound, Gu Yunji was suddenly awakened by a sudden fear, and his mind was still a little confused, so he staggered to get off the bed and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the lantern was shook by the person who came to squinted. Gu Yunji rubbed his eyes and tried hard to adapt to the bright light: "...Teacher, and...Mr. Chu? Why are you here?"

Chu Jing was covered in bright silver armor and a cold face. He glanced at him and looked up behind him: "Where is Su Qi?"

"Su Qi is inside... Hey hey, Mr. Chu!" Before Gu Yunji finished speaking, he saw Chu Jing seemingly ignored others, stepped in rudely, and knocked him standing by the door.

Stumbling, almost failing to stand firm.

Gu Yunji was completely confused. He grabbed Xu Chengyu and stabilized his body: "What's going on with the teacher? Why is it so urgent?"

Xu Chengyu frowned, and after he helped him firmly, he followed Chu Jing in, looking like he had no time to explain: "You will know soon."

When he saw Chu Jing wearing military uniform, Su Qi, who had just put on his clothes and walked out of the room, was caught off guard: "Mr. Chu? Why are you here?"

Chu Jing looked Su Qi up and down, and didn't even care about greetings. He immediately opened a golden scroll with him and said directly: "Your Majesty's order-

A few days ago, the Tatars invaded our border and besieged Datong Town. The chief general Yang Mao died in battle and died in his country. Now the front line is in urgent need of war, Datong Town is in danger. Now, Chu Jing, the former commander of the Beijing Guard, was appointed as the new general, Su Qi, the son of Su Yuan, the Duke of Dingguo.

As the general, he led 120,000 guards in the Beijing camp to support him. The two of them received the order and returned to Beijing immediately without any mistakes!"
