Liu Mingzhi was expressing his feelings when he suddenly heard the excited voices of the three girls Qi Yun beside his ears.
"Husband, you are so lucky. It's Chengfeng, Chengzhi, and Chenggan. I didn't expect the children to be so heroic when they put on armor."
Pretending to be calm, Liu Mingzhi followed the gestures of Qi Yun and the three sisters and looked towards the army. At a glance, he saw the slightly thin figure of the third flag bearer in the center of Cheng Kai's army.
Although the three people's armors and helmets completely obscured their faces, Liu Mingzhi and the others could clearly see the faces of the three people from their angles. They were none other than Liu Chengfeng, the three sons of Young Master Liu.
Liu Mingzhi shook his head gently: "The flag bearer of the Chinese army cannot be held without the merit of thirty people's heads.
In the army, the strong are respected and meritorious service is the foundation. However, we have only been in the army for two days. How could Cheng Kai and the others take care of the three of them like this? I will settle his accounts after he returns victoriously."
Hearing this, Qi Yun's three daughters gave Young Master Liu an angry look. They were about to ask him if he didn't care about his son at all!
But thinking of her husband's reputation in the military during his many years of military service, he forcefully swallowed the words that came to his lips.
They knew very well in their hearts that their husband was always humble to their sisters and others in other matters, but when it came to military issues, even if their sisters were deeply loved by their husband, if they said something that shouldn't be said If you speak, you will inevitably be scolded by your husband.
After so many years, my husband has already developed indescribable feelings about life in the military camp.
He always insisted on these matters and never gave in.
The three women knew their husband's temperament and did not want to have an unnecessary dispute with him on this matter. They silently raised the telescope in their hands and looked at their son's retreating figure.
In a daze, everyone had ignored the passage of time. It was not until the flags of the Sixth Guards of the New Army were completely replaced by the flags of the other troops that the three women put down the telescope in their hands and sighed quietly.
When Liu Mingzhi saw this, he didn't say anything. He walked down the rock quietly, untied his horse, got on his horse and galloped towards Yingzhou City.
The four women who were left to react hurriedly walked down the rock, got on their horses and chased after him.
The four girls only saw the way their husband was doing business and being merciless, but they didn't know the look of Young Master Liu's eyes moistening when he galloped back to the city.
The three Liu Chengfeng brothers are the sons of Qi Yun's third daughter, but they are not strangers to Young Master Liu.
It's not a pleasant feeling to send your son off to war in person.
Liu Mingzhi can comfort their sisters.
But who can come to comfort me?
Galloping on horseback, approaching the city gate, Liu Mingzhi stared at the familiar figure under the city gate, and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes without any trace.
When he arrived at the city gate, Young Master Liu immediately got off his horse, held the horse's reins and chased the familiar figure from behind.
When there were fewer pedestrians, Liu Mingzhi quickened his pace and caught up.
"Veteran Liu Mingzhi is here to see His Majesty, long live long live."
Li Ye, who was being guarded by a group of guards and walking silently, subconsciously turned around when he heard Young Master Liu's voice. He saw Young Master Liu clasping his hands and bowing to him.
Li Ye greeted him with complicated eyes.
"Uncle, no courtesy, I..."
Li Ye realized that this was on a street with pedestrians coming and going, and quickly changed his tone: "The child is wondering where my uncle has gone? He didn't even come to see off the soldiers of the three armies. I didn't expect that my uncle is here."
"Master Li, forgive me. I accompanied a few concubines to deal with some trivial matters. I was unable to see off the soldiers of the three armies in time. I hope Master Li will show his respect."
"It doesn't matter? Family affairs? State affairs? World affairs? If you are not in your position, you will not seek political power? Some people always have to work hard for their own affairs. This is what my uncle taught the children. The children will never forget it."
Hearing this, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but recall the past, when Li Ye had just ascended the throne, and he went into the imperial study room to teach Li Ye the secrets of governing the country and the policies of governing the country.
He nodded sadly.
"Young Master Li can put himself in others' shoes and has the demeanor of a wise king. He has the demeanor of a sage. In time, he will definitely leave his name in history and be famous forever."
Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi's sighing expression, his eyes were complicated and tangled for a moment, and he looked at the guards guarding him on both sides and waved their hands gently.
"You guys stay away and protect me. I have something to say with my uncle as we walk."
Several old men and the surrounding guards were about to give advice, but when they saw Li Ye's frown, he nodded helplessly and slowly backed away to both sides.
Your Majesty has grown up and has become more and more royal.
"Uncle, how about we talk while we walk?"
"Of course, Master Li invites you first!"
Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi each held the reins of their horses and walked slowly along the streets of Yingzhou City.
"My son originally wanted to lead a military expedition in person, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in conflict with each other, so my son only had legs and Qiu Ci, so he went to northern Xinjiang to serve the soldiers of the three armies.
Now I have got my wish.
I was preparing to go back home to say goodbye to my uncle, and since I happened to meet my uncle, I didn’t have to run around all that much."
"Master Li will return to Beijing soon?"
"Yes, I have been away from the capital for too long. I was afraid of delaying the affairs of the world, so I had no choice but to return to the capital in time."
"Young Master is so righteous, I admire him."
"This is all due to my uncle's good teachings, and he has lived up to the two volumes of sage articles he taught me. I am afraid that my child is still just an ignorant young man now.
My uncle's kindness to the child will never be forgotten by the child forever. It's a pity that my uncle can't accompany the child to grow up in the capital. It's a great pity."
"Young Master, your words are serious. As an eagle spreads its wings, the most important thing is to persevere. As a flying dragon flies in the sky, there will always be good people to help you.
I have tried my best to help the young master achieve ninety-nine achievements.
The sage said that if you travel a hundred miles, half of it will be ninety, ninety-nine, and ninety are roughly the same.
The remaining step, whether the young master can go his own way depends on the young master's own understanding."
Li Ye stopped, looked at Liu Mingzhi's respectful look, and nodded silently.
"A person who travels a hundred miles is only half a mile. I would like to thank my uncle for his teachings."
"Don't take your teachings seriously, that's your duty!"
Li Ye felt grateful and continued to lead the horse on the road, and Liu Mingzhi naturally followed.
Li Ye thought for a while, then turned to look at Liu Mingzhi: "Uncle, in your opinion, what are the chances of winning this time for a million-strong army to cross the border and march north?"
"Young Master, forgive me. I still said what I said when I was in Beijing in the past. If I am not in my position, I will not seek political advice. The final decision will be decided by Mr. Yun and a group of people with lofty ideals."
"I understand. Since my uncle has stayed out of the matter, I won't ask any more questions."
"Thank you, Master, for understanding my difficulties."
"Uncle, I heard from my grandmother about the past stories of my grandfather and a generation of sages who studied politics. I was filled with emotion.
Since my uncle is a disciple of Mr. Wen Renzheng, I wonder how I would evaluate Mr. Wen Renzheng’s character?"
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but think of the past of the academy in front of his eyes, and sighed silently!
"A well-founded approach and retreat is a great sage!"
"Advances and retreats are well-founded. A generation of great sages. I wonder where the great sages my uncle mentioned are virtuous?"
Liu Mingzhi's action of twirling his fingers suddenly stopped.
"I don't speak my father's name. How dare I make unreasonable remarks about my mentor's virtues? Please forgive me, sir."
Li Ye turned his head and stared at Liu Mingzhi silently for a while, then nodded with a different look.
"Understood.
I would like to remind you of an old story again. My uncle said that a person who walks a hundred miles can only walk half a mile. How much does my uncle think that a child who can walk a hundred miles has done enough?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and looked at Li Ye calmly.
"Anything less than a hundred miles ends in half."
Li Ye's eyes were tangled for a long time, and he nodded clearly.
"I understand, it's really presumptuous of me to bother my uncle for two days.
Now that the business is done, it's time for my uncle to retire. I'm about to leave, so my uncle is staying behind.
The child is almost gone, and uncle will only be able to send her away within a short distance. What does uncle think?"
"Whether it is a road to the sky or a path of thorns, the young master will know when he returns to the capital.
We won't send you far."
Li Ye looked at Young Master Liu's nod and lowered eyebrows, pursed his lips and nodded slightly, then got on his horse and punched Young Master Liu.
"We'll figure it out after we return to Beijing. Say goodbye."
