Liu Mingzhi sat on his horse and looked at the familiar city walls of Jinling City and sighed!
After being reborn for two years, I finally returned to a familiar place. Compared with the prosperous capital city, Liu Mingzhi prefers peaceful and comfortable places like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, small bridges and flowing water, and people’s homes!
"Brother, brother is home!"
Song Qing glared at Young Master Liu angrily: "I'll just come back when I come back. I'm not bringing your ashes back. As for those sighs?"
"No, you are too angry. Besides, my brother asked you to make meritorious deeds. No one else can take away the good deeds. You are still not happy about it. Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng, don't you think so?
!”
Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng and other dandy boys who had a conflict with Young Master Liu because of Qi Ya were sent to Longwuwei for training by their old man at some unknown time.
Did he happen to become one of Young Master Liu's subordinates? Fate is so magical!
Du Yu and the others, carrying heavy sandbags on their backs, watched with trembling eyes as Young Master Liu smiled like a devil.
Recalling what the old man at home told him, Du Yu and others looked at Mr. Liu riding on the horse with a smile: "The commander is right, this is a good thing that only happens once in a lifetime."
"That's right, Dalong can't get a title without military merit. If he annihilates the White Lotus Sect rebels even if he doesn't make any money, we can still get a title!"
"We brothers must follow the leader's lead. Let us go east and never west. Let us fight dogs and never chase away roosters!"
"Look, look, this is enlightenment, Lieutenant General Song, you must learn from it!"
"Yes, the general knows!"
Song Qing held his mouth and kept mumbling.
"Longwu Guard Cheng Kai and Xiaoguo Guard Zhou Baoyu obey orders!"
"The end is here!"
"Instruct the three armies to rest on the spot and wait for news from Lord Kong, the governor of Jinling!"
"Got the order!"
The two of them waved the command flags in their hands a few times, and the messenger immediately passed on the order.
After just one month of training, Young Master Liu was able to command an army of 10,000 people with ease.
But he knew better that if he didn't have the Handsome Seal Tiger Talisman, the 10,000 Dragon Martial Guards and Xiaoguo Guards would have eaten his heart out.
There are a few commanders who let their horses go without allowing their soldiers to ride on them, and they lead their horses and ride them all day long. Isn't this being a joke?
Although the four thousand cavalrymen resented Young Master Liu as the commander-in-chief, no one dared to disobey Young Master Liu's command despite the example of Du Yu and several others.
The most important thing is that I can't beat him.
The most obedient and strong man in the army, no one from the four thousand cavalry, from the general to the deputy commander-in-chief, to the rank-and-file, could be a match for this commander in a one-on-one battle.
Although some of the orders were indeed perverted, 10,000 people were able to truly enforce the orders and prohibitions.
There was no way that ten thousand people thought of having meat for three meals a day, and they both resented and admired the commander-in-chief, Mr. Liu.
Since joining the army, one meal of meat every three days is considered a good meal for them. Meat every meal is a good thing that they would never dare to dream about. Although there is not much meat, it is enough to make people eat half a bowl of rice!
Liu Mingzhi has watched so many TV dramas, and of course he knows how to win over the troops. To put it bluntly, he uses kindness and power at the same time. Kindness does not control the troops. Blind obedience will make his soldiers think that the commander's authority is insufficient.
If any of the ten thousand soldiers dares to disobey the general's orders, he will be whipped ten times and then punished, and then his buttocks will be thrown into an oxcart carrying grain and grass.
In ten days, no one dared to take the initiative to provoke!
When setting up camp, they lighted two bonfires and had a wrestling match. The Longwu Guards and Xiaoguo Guards competed openly and secretly, for no other reason than a jar of wine and a leg of lamb.
After the running-in period, Longwuwei and Xiaoguowei became more and more skilled in coordinating operations with each other, fully achieving Liu Mingzhi's expected results!
"My officer, Kong, the governor of Jinling, has met General Liu!"
"Liu Mingzhi, the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression, met Mr. Kong. The general refused to dismount. Please forgive Mr. Kong. May I ask Mr. Kong if the food and grass are ready?"
Kong Dao didn't mind Liu Mingzhi talking to him while riding on the horse. Just as Liu Mingzhi said, generals will have their own futures as long as they don't dismount.
"Don't worry, General Liu. As soon as your Majesty's household documents arrive, Jinling will prepare food and invite the army to station in the city!"
"Thank you!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the familiar Governor's Yamen in front of him and sighed melancholy: "It's the saddest thing to revisit an old place!"
Kong Dao stroked his beard and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a faint smile: "General Liu, you are a role model in Jinling. Young talents lead the army and go to war. Mr. Qi has a good son-in-law, and Mr. Liu has a good son!"
"Master Kong is ridiculous. Things have changed. I used to be a playboy who was incompetent in literature and martial arts. How could I have imagined that I would achieve what I have today!"
"The prodigal son returns with gold, and now all the scholars in Jinling regard you as a role model. There is a big shot in Jinling who ranks in the second class. I, the governor of Jinling, am also proud of you!"
"That's ridiculous!"
"Drink tea!"
"Thank you! Master Kong, can I move around?"
"General Liu misses your wife's home, right? It just so happens that there is only a wall between the Qi Mansion and the Governor's Mansion. General Liu can hang out at any time, and I have no control over the affairs of the Qi Mansion. It just so happens that I have to supervise the loading of grain and grass.
It’s over, Mr. Liu, please excuse me!”
After Kong Dao left, Liu Mingzhi walked slowly to the backyard. The governor's mansion is the governor's mansion, and the Qi family is the Qi family. Officials can live in another mansion or live in the governor's mansion.
I don’t know what my father-in-law thought, but he actually found another mansion to live in.
Looking at the high arched wall that had been closed with bricks, which had been used to facilitate entry and exit of the Governor's Mansion, Liu Mingzhi tiptoed over the wall and fell into the Qi family's house.
"I didn't expect that my father-in-law left a servant to look after the house and kept it very clean!"
Slowly walking into the backyard of Qi's family, Liu Mingzhi suddenly smelled the rich fragrance of peach blossoms while listening to the sound of gurgling water.
At this moment, he suddenly heard that April is the time when the peach blossoms in Jiangnan are in full bloom.
"My father-in-law bought this house alone because he couldn't bear to part with the peach trees in the backyard, right?"
Looking at the fragrant peach blossoms, the dancing butterflies, and the diligent bees, Liu Mingzhi sighed, remembering the charming scene of stealing peaches in the past, vividly in his mind!
Walking slowly towards the peach forest, Liu Mingzhi planned to get out of the peach forest and jump over the wall from Qi's house. After all, the military affairs could not be delayed.
Thinking about this matter sadly, I sigh a few times and it makes sense. How can I still get drunk?
"On this day last year, in this door, the human face and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red color. I don't know where the human face went, but the peach blossoms still smiled in the spring breeze! Fortunately, Yun'er has arrived home. Why are you here again!"
"Why are you here!"
Young Master Liu opened his eyes wide and felt helpless as he looked at the ice-skinned snow-skin holding the wooden ladle in front of him.
Qi Ya used a silk scarf to cover her icy and snowy skin, her slightly red cheeks cooked by the hot steam. Bihuajiao looked at the frosty pretty face standing under the peach tree in panic: "Look, turn around quickly!"
"Hey, Sister Ya, aren't you in the capital? When did you return to Jiangnan?"
There was a rustling sound of people getting dressed in a panic, which made Young Master Liu start to think a lot.
Qi Ya was wearing a light blue butterfly pleated skirt, wiping her wet black hair, and walked up to Liu Mingzhi. Her pretty face was frosty and her eyes were trembling: "Why did you come to my house?"
"Would you believe me if I said I came to reminisce?"
Young Master Liu was talking about recalling the past. Qi Ya obviously misunderstood that Young Master Liu was recalling another thing: "You are too presumptuous!"
"Ah? Can't you still recall your old home?"
"Homeland!"
"Of course, otherwise you think I'm going, Sister Ya, I swear to God, I really didn't mean that. If you knew you were bathing in the dense forest, I wouldn't dare to come in even if we both had the guts to do so. By the way, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are both in the capital.
, what are you doing back to Jiangnan?"
Qi Ya calmed down, then gently pulled off a piece of peach blossom with her jade fingers and put it under Qiong's nose and took a breath: "The peach blossoms are blooming. If you don't make wine, it will be wasted!"
"So it's like this. Look, I forgot that you pick peach blossoms every year to make wine! This was a misunderstanding. I didn't see anything. I really didn't see anything except very white and very red peach blossoms!"
Qi Ya casually threw the towel to Liu Mingzhi and moved out of the peach blossom forest with a light step.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before, so what if I can't see it!"
