Let's go and leave

After reading the imperial edict, Chu Jing didn't care about any false gifts and handed the scroll in his hand to Su Qi, without saying a word of nonsense: "Criminal... No, General Su, the situation is urgent, and there is no need to tolerate too much greetings. If you are ready, let's set off immediately."

Su Qi's expression frightened. After receiving the imperial edict, the sleepiness on his face was swept away cleanly. He immediately changed into a serious expression and immediately said, "Okay, let's go now."

"Wait!" Before Gu Yunji could react, he grabbed Su Qi who was about to walk out, "What are you going? Where are you going? What's going?"

Su Qi put the imperial edict into his arms and explained it clearly in a few words: "The situation in Datong Town is critical. Your Majesty ordered Lord Chu to be the general and I am the deputy general. Let us return to Beijing immediately to lead troops to support, and I am leaving soon."

After reading the imperial edict from beginning to end, Gu Yunji was still a little unbelievable: "Now? It's still dark outside, and I can't rush to go. Can't you leave early tomorrow morning?"

"No." Su Qi's tone was deep, and his eyes were filled with worries. "Datong Town was besieged by 150,000 Tatar cavalry, and the food was cut off. There was a risk of a city breaking down at any time. If I delayed it for one more day, they would be more difficult. I can't wait."

Perhaps it was because of the Su family that he had always known that one day; or perhaps it was because Duke Ding had a premonition about it after he was seriously injured. In short, Su Qi seemed to have prepared for it, and accepted this fact without much surprise. It was much calmer than Chu Jing imagined.

It turns out that he is a tiger father without a dog son, and he is worthy of being a descendant of the Su family.

Seeing that Su Qi was so calm and considering the overall situation, Chu Jing admired him very much and gained more confidence in the next two supporting Datong Town together and fighting against the Tatar cavalry.

Gu Yunji knew that the matter was critical, but he was still a little unresponsive to Su Qi's return to Beijing overnight. He was in a hurry: "Then, then... I'll help you pack your luggage and what should I bring? Although it's already April, I think it's still a bit cold in northern Xinjiang. I need to prepare more thick clothes. There are also big cloaks that can block the wind. Should I bring them with me?"

"Young Master Gu doesn't have to clean up." Chu Jing stopped him from packing his luggage. "These things were prepared early in the morning. Even if there are any gaps, they can be supplemented at any time on the road. As long as General Su follows me back to Beijing."

If you want to help but can’t help, Cheng Yan, who was standing by, could only be anxious and looked at Su Qi with a worried look: “Then be careful on the way. When you arrive in northern Xinjiang, you will write to us earlier.”

"Okay, I'll write to you when I arrive." Su Qi smiled slightly, his eyes were particularly bright in the darkness. He turned around and looked at Gu Yunji and the others seriously, "Then... Yunji, Cheng Yan, and Xu Shanchang, I'll leave now."

Xu Chengyu nodded and looked at him deeply: "Well, take good care of yourself."

Looking at Su Qi's back as he turned and left, a strong sense of reluctance suddenly rose in Gu Yunji's heart, which made his chest sore and swollen. He suddenly shouted: "Su Qi!"

Su Qi stopped and returned sideways and looked at him quietly.

"Come back early." Gu Yunji's throat rolled, his voice sounded a little dry. "You said, you should watch Cheng Yan and I pass the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination and parade in the capital. This is our agreement, you must remember."

"Okay, I will definitely keep the promise."

Su Qi stood at the door, and the cold moonlight outside shone down, covering his back as tall as green pine. Compared with the sturdy Chu Jing beside him, the young man's figure was still a bit thin, but what was about to be added to his tender shoulders was a heavy burden.

He heard Su Qi's very light voice: "Yun Ji, Cheng Yan, take care of yourself."

"... Take care." Gu Yunji was a little confused and murmured for a while. When he raised his head again, Su Qi's figure was no longer seen in the room, leaving only the clear moonlight all over the ground.

Looking at Gu Yunji who was only wearing a single dress, Xu Chengyu sighed silently, picked up the outer dress beside him and put it on him: "Down at night, be careful not to freeze yourself, go back and rest early."

Gu Yunji did not move and asked in a daze: "Teacher, when will Su Qi and the others come back?"

"I don't know." Xu Chengyu looked up at the direction where Su Qi left, and his tone was a little sad, "It depends on when the Tatars retreated. It can be as fast as months, years as slow as later, or even longer, no one can say."

Cheng Yan pursed his lips tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this, and he accused: "Why is it him? Why is it Su Qi! In such a large court, can't even find a general who commands the army? He has to send him a seventeen-year-old boy!"

As he spoke, Cheng Yan's voice fell down, and he was crying when he spoke: "The sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and the Tatars are extremely fierce. If something happens, what if something happens... Duke Ding is seriously injured and unconscious, and has not woken up yet. He is the last hope of the Su family, so can't he be safe and secure..."

Xu Chengyu's tone was deep and quiet: "It is precisely because he is the last hope of the Su family that he must be. The Tatar soldiers were at the city, and Duke Ding was still unconscious and could not take charge of the overall situation. The soldiers at the border lost their backbone, so the morale of the army was naturally unstable. The Su family was full of loyal and martyrs, and their children joined the army for generations. Now, except Duke Ding, only his only son, Su Qi, could quickly stabilize the situation and calm people's hearts with the prestige accumulated by the ancestors of the Su family in the army."

"As Su Qi, as long as he stands there and does nothing, it is enough to convince people." Xu Chengyu slowly let out a sigh of relief, his voice slowed down, "In the past, he was able to be free when Duke Ding was supported, but now Duke Ding has fallen, it is naturally his turn to bear the burden."

Gu Yunji, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Chengyu with hope and said, "So, Su Qi is actually only needed to stay in Datong Town. It doesn't necessarily have to go into battle to kill the enemy, right?"

Although the truth is that, even though Chu Jingnian was young and did not allow him to do risky things, as the son of Duke Ding, Su Qi also inherited the strong bones of his ancestors of all generations. He was afraid he would not be willing to retreat behind and enjoy peace.

Looking at Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan's somewhat fragile mental state, Xu Chengyu was worried that telling the truth would stimulate them, so he followed the words and comforted him: "Well, that's it. Su Qi is the only seed of the Su family after all. If he really hurts him, it will be difficult for Lord Chu to send him to Dingguo bus and will not send him to the front of the formation to fight against the Tatars."

After hearing this, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan finally calmed down a little, and their tense nerves relaxed slightly.

But thinking about Su Qi's safety, the two of them couldn't really feel at ease, their thoughts were extremely chaotic, and they couldn't sleep all night.

I will change the book in the next two days, let me tell you.
