【Chapter 119】During those years you had an appointment
The sky gradually became brighter, and there began to be sounds in my mother's room.
Lei Xingkong stopped, put Tianji back into the room, and started fetching water, chopping firewood, and doing housework.
After a while, he made breakfast and his mother got up.
The two of them sat together, and while Lei Xingkong was eating, he told him that he wanted to join the Yulin Army.
After hearing this, my mother thought for a while and asked, "What did your uncle from the Yu family say?"
Lei Xingkong said: "This time it was my uncle from the Yu family who recommended me to join the Yulin Army. He naturally agreed."
Mother nodded: "Since it was recommended by your uncle from the Yu family, then you can go!"
After a slight pause, my mother said in a slightly worried tone: "The capital is not as good as our Qingshui County. You have gone so far, and I don't know when I will be able to see you again."
When Lei Xingkong heard what his mother said, he quickly comforted him: "Mom, don't worry, I will send someone to pick you up as soon as I settle down in the capital."
His mother patted his head and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? Mom has been in Qingshui County all her life. Why would she go to the capital when she is old? You remember in your heart that there is still an old lady at home. Just come back and visit more often. ." She sighed softly, and then continued: "After a hundred years, my mother will be buried next to your father's grave, so that she can keep company with him."
Lei Xingkong frowned when he heard this, then rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, what will happen if you don't go to the capital? If I meet the girl I like, won't you not be able to see her?"
His mother is getting older, and this time when he came home and saw that she had aged so much, Lei Xingkong felt really uneasy.
The best way is to let his mother be with him, so that even if something happens, he can take care of her.
The mother was startled when she heard this, and then nodded thoughtfully: "That's true, that's true..."
Lei Xingkong said quickly: "Then it's settled, mother, when I settle down in the capital, I will send someone to pick you up!"
The mother was noncommittal and turned to him: "When you mentioned that you were going to the capital this time, it reminded me of another thing."
"What's going on?" Lei Xingkong asked.
Mother said: "Back then, before your father went to war, he made a marriage arrangement for you. There was a girl in that family who was three years older than you. Later, they moved to the capital, and your father also went to war and died in the war, so the two families were separated. According to the news, I don’t know if they still recognize this marriage now.”
"ah?"
Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment, his mind a little confused.
Unexpectedly, he was carrying a baby girl on his back. The woman had never met him before, so he didn’t know whether he was beautiful or ugly. What if he had a crooked nose and a grin?
Fortunately, the two families have lost contact with each other a long time ago, so the marriage is probably over.
The mother looked up at her son and said, "This time when you go to the capital, you can inquire about that family and see if they still recognize us as relatives."
"mother……"
Lei Xingkong wanted to dissuade her, but when he saw his mother's insistent gaze, he couldn't help but swallow his words. He just said: "Mom, I'll give it a try, but after so many years, I'm afraid your efforts are still in vain."
Hearing his son say this, Bai Mulan immediately smiled and said no more.
…
After breakfast, Lei Xingkong walked out of the house and walked back to the military camp unhurriedly.
From the moment he entered the gate of the county army camp, people greeted him all the way.
The battle at Yanyun Fortress spread his reputation among the county troops for his bravery and skill in fighting.
Return to Hulie Camp.
Lei Xingkong was immediately informed of the summons from Captain Xuejie. After hearing this, he immediately turned around and walked towards Yu Hongtian's camp.
He entered Yu Hongtian's camp by familiar means. Yu Hongtian was immersed in handling some paperwork. When he saw Lei Xingkong entering, Yu Hongtian immediately waved his hand to indicate wait, and then continued to write quickly without saying a word...
.
Lei Xingkong was not polite, he went over to the bookshelf and pulled out a book on military affairs, then sat down in the most comfortable position and read through it by himself.
After a while.
Yu Hongtian finally finished what he was doing. He looked up and saw Lei Xingkong's lazy look. He was immediately funny and angry, and said: "You kid... sit down quickly, I have something to tell you."
Lei Xingkong put down his book and sat upright calmly.
Yu Hongtian said: "I recommended you to join the Yulin Army, and the general's office has approved it. You need to report to the Yulin Army camp in the capital before the Double Moon Festival."
After a slight pause, Yu Hongtian counted on his fingers and said: "From today to the Double Moon Festival, there are still more than sixty days, which means you have to rush to the capital within these sixty days.
"
"Then when should I set off?" Lei Xingkong thought for a while and asked.
Qingshui County is a border county, a long way from the capital of Yong Kingdom, but sixty days is still a very long time.
Lei Xingkong can leave at any time, but before leaving, he must first obtain the military order to leave the camp.
"I have obtained the military order for you, you leave in five days!" Yu Hongtian said, "In five days there will be a caravan from Qingshui County going to the capital. The caravan deacon is an old friend of mine. Then you can go with him.
It’s good to have someone to take care of you along the way.”
"OK!"
Lei Xingkong nodded in agreement.
Yu Hongtian smiled and then asked: "Do you know who else besides me will recommend you to join the Yulin Army this time?"
"Well?"
Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
Yu Hongtian didn't ask for a riddle and directly answered: "Hubei side recommended you at the same time, and Marquis Jieyi, hey, he also recommended you to join the Yulin Army."
What are they going to do?
Lei Xingkong frowned slightly. Both sides were enemies. How could he recommend him to join the Yulin Army? There must be some bad intentions in this.
"Actually, their thoughts are not difficult to guess." Yu Hongtian said in a deep voice: "I had already thought about it before you came. Hubei's side is easy to guess. It's just that they saw that your reputation was growing among the county army and wanted to get you."
Just transfer him away so that his precious son can take over. As for Marquis Jieyi, it's hard to say. The most likely thing is that he wants to transfer you to the capital so that he can find opportunities to plot your treasured sword."
Lei Xingkong thought about Yu Hongtian's words for a while and felt that they made sense. That was probably what the two parties had in mind.
There is no need to worry about Captain Hu Bei. Lei Xingkong has never put Luo Tianba in his eyes. After joining the Yulin Army, there is no chance of meeting him again, so he will just leave him alone.
But that Marquis of Jieyi was actually still plotting against Tianji... For a moment, Lei Xingkong couldn't help but feel murderous intent in his heart: "This guy has no end!"
Yu Hongtian didn't know that Lei Xingkong had murderous intentions, so he continued to give instructions: "After joining the Yulin Army, try to leave the camp as little as possible. The Yulin Army is directly under the royal family. Marquis Jieyi will always be wary of it and will never dare to
What to do to you directly..."
"I know, uncle!"
Lei Xingkong could feel Yu Hongtian's concern, so he listened carefully and agreed no matter what Yu Hongtian said. He was extremely well-behaved.
