After entering the Northland, there was no trace of green in sight. In the winter in the south, there are still onion cage trees. Although it is the end of autumn in the south to Beijing, but the chrysanthemums are fat, and when Pei Shunqing left Beijing, the city was still full of flowers. However, the north is bitter and cold, and the wind is piercing before winter.

The carriage was sparkling, and the gray barracks tent roofs in the distance could be vaguely seen. Pei Shunqing's throat was itchy, after suppressing the feeling of wanting to cough, he exhaled a white breath and drew the carriage curtain.

Sheng Yong Hou Yinglang got the news early. At the moment, standing at the gate of the barracks, he saw Pei Shunqing getting off the carriage. He stepped forward and said, "Master Pei, this trip is hard!"

In the same way, Pei Shunqing got out of the carriage in a respectful manner and saluted: "The official Pei Shunqing has seen Lord Hou, this time it is here to send a letter. The Beining garrison is 200,000 and will arrive tomorrow."

The soldiers behind Sheng Yonghou all smiled and looked relaxed.

"Come on, Master Pei quickly enter the camp. The wind is strong outside. This time, thanks to Master Pei, he ate all the food and grass a few days ago. The big guy couldn't eat, and he didn’t have the strength to defend against the enemy. , There are reinforcements too, this time you have to kill those wolves with great power! They dare not attack them again!"

The group entered the barracks, and after discussing business matters, two hours have passed. The lamp was lit in the tent, and the other soldiers all left, leaving only two people in the military tent.

Pei Shunqing sat up from the side seat, came to Sheng Yong Hou Yinglang, and took a deep kick, "Yue Zhang is here, my son-in-law failed to take good care of his wife. She had already gone on the tenth day of the last month. Please Yue Zhang's mourning. "

Sheng Yonghou is a long-bearded man, in his fifties or sixties. He looks very tough, but his temples are already pale. At this moment, Sheng Yonghou no longer had the decisive self-confidence just now, and the deep gully between his eyebrows was full of pain, he bent down to support Pei Shunqing, and said:

"I already know. I received a letter from Jingzhong a few days ago... You did not do anything badly. You took care of Xianxian very well and did not violate our agreement back then. I should thank you. I know that as a Father, I am selfish. Whether you blame me or not, now I should also carefully thank you and apologize."

With that said, he stood up to kneel, and was held by Pei Shunqing. "Yue Zhang must not! How can I be kneeled by you."

Sheng Yonghou didn't care, and stubbornly saluted him before standing up. He was a man of iron and blood who had been fighting for many years, but his eyes were red at the moment, and his tone was two-pointed hoarse.

"My Xianxian, she almost died a few times since she was born, and it was so difficult to feed. When she was born, she was younger than my hand, and I was afraid that speaking louder would shock her. For so many years, I was both a father and a mother and pulled her up, for fear that one day she would die by accident. I have not had a good night's sleep for more than 20 years." He touched his own. Gray hair, "My hair has turned white since I knew that Xian Xian would not live to be twenty years old."

"Even Mr. Liu Zhen of Qingtai Mountain said that Xianxian will not live to be twenty, but she is now twenty-one. I am not satisfied. This is already blessed by God, Pei Shunqing, I really should Thank you, as a father, I have tried my best to protect my child in this life. Now that she is dead, although I feel sad, I hope she will reincarnate early and be a healthy and healthy child in the next life. , Have a healthy body, do whatever you want."

Pei Shunqing saw Sheng Yonghou talking and covered her face with her hand, and transparent water stains spilled from her fingers.

I heard that when this Sheng Yonghou was following the first emperor’s northern expedition, almost half of his body was split on the battlefield, and he didn’t say a word, but now, speaking of his deceased daughter, he couldn’t help but grieve. Tears came.

Pei Shunqing sat beside him and said nothing. He was very clear about Sheng Yonghou's mood, because he was the same. The person in his heart was gone, and his heart was empty. It was cold day and night, and it was unspeakable.

After a long time, Sheng Yonghou cleared up his mood. He lifted his chapped palm and wiped the tears from his face, looked at Pei Shunqing beside him, and said seriously: "Although I shouldn't say this, but your house has no Elders, I can be regarded as your elders, I should say a few words because of feelings and reasons."

"My family Xianxian is gone, don't think about her, marry a wife and have children earlier, don't delay anymore."

"I am very grateful that you were willing to agree to my rude request when you married Xianxian. Even if there are other reasons, I believe that you love Xianxian, but people cannot come back from death. You still listen to my advice. It’s so long, don’t take it too hard."

Pei Shunqing shook her head, but didn't say anything. After sitting for a while, she left directly.

After Sheng Yonghou was the only one left in the tent, he looked at the jumping fire and remembered the scene three years ago. At that time, the first emperor got older and more confused. Several sons fought you for the throne, and he Yinglang was the sweet pastry that everyone wanted to fight for. The eldest prince said he wanted to marry his daughter as a side concubine, and the seventh prince let him Out of the position of concubine, just to get his support.

These people clearly knew that his daughter was a sick child who could not live long, or for his support, they went everywhere to marry his daughter. The first emperor was also a stupid. He turned his heart to the horizon when he was about to die. He listened to the seventh prince's instigation and wanted to marry his daughter and the seventh prince.

Ying Lang is not stupid. How could he be willing to marry his daughter into the smoky place like the Seven Princes' Mansion? If he did, he would be **** to death in a few days. As a last resort, he found a lot of young talents for his daughter to choose, and wanted to settle her daughter well before the marriage.

Those are all good men he has carefully selected. No matter which one his daughter is going to marry, he, the father, can ensure that his daughter will live comfortably in the future. Although these men have a bad family background, they are easy to handle. At least they will not let their daughters get wronged after they marry.

But that day, Pei Shunqing came to the door.

Ying Lang has long heard of Pei Shunqing, and he was not there in the palace examinations back then, but because the prime minister Song Yuan and the old bachelor of the Hanlin Academy have told him about this young man, calling him the pillar of the central government in the future, and he will be able to become a big climate in time, so Ying Lang remembered him.

Ying Lang also knew that Pei Shunqing was a member of the fifth prince. At first he thought that Pei Shunqing came over because of the fifth prince's action, but the next words of Pei Shunqing surprised Ying Lang.

When Pei Shunqing fell in love with his family, Xianxian, he would take the initiative to marry him. If it weren't for this, he would have to wait until he became famous before coming to ask for marriage, instead of the way he is now, as if to exchange benefits.

Ying Lang did not immediately agree to his marriage, but let him wait there together. In the end, as Ying Lang expected, his daughter chose Pei Shunqing. Indeed, Pei Shunqing is not only talented, but also a handsome person. Even if Ying Lang admires the tough guys in the army, he has to admit that the little girl's family really likes such handsome men as Pei Shunqing.

But at that time, even if his daughter chose Pei Shunqing, Ying Lang was not very willing to marry her daughter to him because he felt that her daughter liked Pei Shunqing very much.

It was just a meeting. If you really marry him and get along day and night, your daughter will definitely fall in love with him in the future. If his daughter is in good health and Pei Shunqing is a good son-in-law, he will naturally have nothing to stop him.

However, Liu Zhenren of Qingtai Mountain said that if her Xianxian wants to live to twenty, she can't be surprised, can't be extremely happy and angry, and she'd better not have any excessive emotional fluctuations.

So Xianxian, who can't bear the normal people's emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, even the calligraphy, calligraphy and chess are afraid that it will deplete his daughter's mind. How can he see her contaminate the world's most hurtful love, he would rather find Xianxian a less Like it, it's plain, after the remaining two years.

But after all, it couldn't match Pei Shunqing's stubbornness, so Ying Lang told him that Ying Xian could only live for another two years at most, and her body could not bear the love between men and women, so he could not touch her. In addition, he must guarantee that he will not be too close to Ying Xian and that Ying Xian cannot be allowed to fall in love with him.

If he has to marry Pei Shunqing, he can only be like this, please go back to a jade doll, not close, not showing his love, and not affecting the other's mood.

Even Ying Lang himself felt that this was too much for a person with love in his heart, but Pei Shunqing agreed after a long silence.

"Even so, I don't want to watch her marry others." Pei Shunqing said at that time.

Later, the daughter married. Pei Shunqing obeyed their agreement and kept a certain distance from her daughter. Ying Lang was very satisfied with him, but couldn't help feeling guilty in her heart. He knew how unbearable it was to love someone but hide it forcibly, but Pei Shunqing did it.

His daughter was well taken care of and lived to be twenty-one.

"Xianxian, Dad hopes that you will be reborn in a good family in your next life, have a healthy body, and have someone willing to love you like this."

——

On the third day, Pei Shunqing was about to leave, and Ying Lang went to see him off. Pei Shunqing stood by the carriage and glanced at the weathered city wall in the distance, and then said in response: "Her body is condensed by me. The coffin made of ice is well preserved. After Yue Zhang wins and returns to Beijing, I will see her again. Only then will she be buried. I think she also hopes that she can see her off in the end."

Ying Lang clenched his fists and replied loudly, "Okay, when I return victorious and send my wife the last time, she won't let her wait long!"

Pei Shunqing nodded, got on the carriage, and left the cold north.

——

One month later, Sheng Yonghou's army was 30 li outside Langyuan City, annihilating 100,000 enemies and winning a big victory. The remnants of Lang Rong were defeated and moved into the depths of the grassland together with Wang Zhang.
