Chapter 162

The night was like splashing ink, and the barracks at the foot of the Great Wall was silent except for the rustling of the wind.

On the second watch, except for the soldiers who were on duty at night, most of the people had fallen asleep by this time.

In the tent of the long princess, Hua Yang tightly grasped the silk cloak underneath.

Between this luxurious cloak and the rough ground at the border, there is a thick layer of felt.

Therefore, Hua Yang didn't feel uncomfortable laying on the floor, nor did she feel how cold the autumn night was. She just thought it was too quiet and the wind outside was too quiet.

If anyone is near the tent, they will be able to hear it.

"Enough." Hua Yang whispered.

Chen Jingzong seemed to have heard some joke, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Where are you going to send the beggar?"

Hua Yang hit him on the shoulder.

Chen Jingzong grabbed her wrist and clasped it to one side, knowing what she was worried about, he also tried not to make a sound.

The surroundings became quiet, and the long princess breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long for her to realize that this would not work at all, it was more like he was trying to tease people in another way.

Hua Yang had no choice but to show her eldest princess majesty and demanded: "I will only give you a quarter of an hour. If you don't listen, you won't be able to return to Beijing."

The tent was pitch black, Chen Jingzong couldn't see her face clearly, but he could imagine her current appearance, she must be sullen and frowning, like when she was just married.

But it was still different. At that time she was really resisting, but now she was just too nervous, afraid of being known and ruining her reputation as a long princess.

The more Chen Jingzong likes her in the military camp, the more he can understand her embarrassment.

So Chen Jingzong turned the long princess over and covered her mouth.

Before dawn, Chen Jingzong begged for another quarter of an hour at the long princess.

Because he came to plead guilty in front of the long princess by order, he spent the night in the long princess's camp generously that night, so he didn't have to sneak away in the dark.

It’s just that it’s not too late to get up, when Chen Jingzong woke up just as a gleam of light penetrated outside the tent, he turned over, and the wooden bed that was stitched together during the march creaked.

Hua Yang was awakened by the sound.

Chen Jingzong hugged her from behind and kissed her on the shoulder: "Try to see if your legs are still sore, and I will massage them for you if they are sore."

Hua Yang didn't want to mention this, and said lightly: "You clean up the ground first."

Chen Jingzong smiled, lifted the quilt and sat up.

Hua Yang watched him tidy up.

The ground still remained the same as it was at the end of the scene at dawn, the carmine satin cloak was in a mess, Chen Jingzong shook his collar, but he couldn't smooth out the folds on it.

Don't look at the long princess's countless gold and silver, the things she likes must be used around her, and the long princess will definitely be unhappy if her beloved things are ruined.

Chen Jingzong raised his head and met her frowning eyebrows.

He tried to make up: "Go back and wash it, and it will be back to normal after washing and drying."

Folding the cloak like a guilty conscience, Chen Jingzong went to look at the long felt blanket underneath.

Seeing this, Chen Jingzong almost laughed out loud, and saw that the long hair in the middle of the felt blanket had been flattened, especially where he knelt down, two circles were twisted out.

"Wash this too."

Whether the long princess saw it clearly or not, Chen Jingzong quickly rolled up the felt blanket.

Hua Yang turned his back directly, took one less look, and less angry!

After dawn, Emperor Yuanyou first came to visit his sister whose legs were sore from climbing the Great Wall.

After a night of recuperation, Hua Yang's legs became even more stiff. This is a common symptom of people who have been inactive for a long time and suddenly travel long distances. Fortunately, they only need help when they stand up or sit down. Walking slowly is not a big problem..

What reassured Emperor Yuanyou most was that the son-in-law's apology really worked. At this moment, my sister had forgotten the quarrel last night, and treated him with a pleasant face as always.

"Today's exercise, can my sister go with me?"

When having breakfast, Emperor Yuanyou asked.

Hua Yang: "You guys go, I'm wandering around."

Today's practice site is halfway up the mountain, Hua Yang can't climb anymore, but she can't be bored in the tent, after all, Chen Jingzong lived here last night, if she doesn't go out, she understands well that she will suffer from climbing the Great Wall.I still don't know what to think.

Emperor Yuanyou wanted the son-in-law to continue to take care of his sister.

Hua Yang said with disgust: "No, let him follow you, I don't like him now."

Only then did Emperor Yuanyou realize that his sister had just forgave him, and she was still angry with her son-in-law!

In this way, Chen Jingzong continued to follow Shengjia to watch the frontier military exercises, and Hua Yang took a carriage to the nearby villages to learn about the local customs and customs.

When the common people saw the long princess, they were respectful and enthusiastic. When Hua Yang questioned some women and children, they also knew everything about it.

Some officers and soldiers in the guards will bully the people, or seek money, or bully men and women, but in this area of Ji Town, because of strict military discipline, no matter the commanders, the officers of Qianhu, Baihu, or the people below are tall and powerful.None of the soldiers in the army did anything to disturb the people.Of course, it happened at the beginning, but since Qin Yuantang severely punished a few young birds with military law, such things have never happened again.

Whenever General Qin was mentioned, the people were full of praise, and even some local people who had left their homes due to the suffering of the war moved back home after learning that Qin Yuantang had come to Ji Town as the general.

Looking at those simple faces, Hua Yang felt more and more respect for Qin Yuantang in his heart.

Of course, Qin Yuantang was able to train troops in Ji Town with peace of mind, and his father-in-law trusted him and supported him.

After three consecutive days of recuperation, Hua Yang's legs were almost recovered, and she watched the last three days of frontier military exercises without landing.

On the sixth day of September, Shengjia returned to Jizhou City, and the Hua Yang siblings continued to stay in the posthouse in the city.

In the post house, Chen Jingzong will definitely live with Hua Yang, and he will only come back at dusk, and it is impossible to prepare anything on the way, so he is doomed to sleep peacefully tonight.

Shengjia will return to Beijing in three days, and Hua Yang's plan cannot be delayed any longer.

After Chen Jingzong took a shower and lay down on the bed, Hua Yang said to him: "If you compete with Qin Ji again, are you sure you will win?"

Chen Jingzong: "If you go all out, the outcome is really hard to say, 50% vs 50%, but according to General Qin's temper, Qin Ji may let me in the end."

Hua Yang smiled.

Chen Jingzong is like this, he is arrogant, but he is not arrogant, and he will not praise himself indiscriminately just to please her.

"Then if you are asked to fight General Qin, what are your chances of winning?" Hua Yang asked again.

Chen Jingzong looked at her and said: "I haven't done anything before, it's hard to say, but the general has experienced many battles, I guess I will lose."

Although he thought he had no chance of winning, Chen Jingzong didn't have the intention of shrinking back and fighting, but he was looking forward to a fight with Qin Yuantang.

Hua Yang said bluntly: "You should have seen that General Qin respected his father too much. This is not good for him or the Chen family. Father must avoid suspicion and cannot see him alone. I want to talk to him."

With just this one sentence, Chen Jingzong understood: "Okay, I will go to fight with him tomorrow, and if I get hurt, he will naturally come to visit."

That's what Hua Yang meant. She was pleased by Chen Jingzong's intelligence and cooperation, but she was also a little worried.

Bitter meat tricks Bitter meat tricks, minor injuries are not worth Qin Yuantang's fuss, serious...

Chen Jingzong stroked her eyebrows: "I haven't been injured yet, so I feel distressed first?"

Hua Yang lowered his eyes, and confessed: "In short, you should take care of yourself and don't hurt your muscles."

Chen Jingzong touched her eyelashes with his fingertips: "You are so troublesome, is it for your father, our Chen family, or for General Qin, or for your brother?"

Hua Yang: "It's all for my own sake."

Good ministers and good generals will be fine, my brother's court will be clear and bright, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and she, a long princess, can also sit back and relax.

Chen Jingzong touched the tip of her nose again, he looked at her with regret and happiness.

The next day, Chen Jingzong nodded in front of Emperor Yuanyou, making sure that Emperor Yuanyou would not need him, so he took his precious spear made of fine steel mixed with gold bestowed by the former emperor, and went to Qin Ji to discuss it.

When Qin Ji saw the gun in his hand, he knew that Chen Jingzong was serious. He was also fearless and sent someone to fetch his usual tiger-head gun.

As the eldest son of General Qin, Qin Ji's Tiger Head Spear is of course unmistakable. General Qin doesn't like gold, silver and jewellery, but loves magical weapons, so he is not willing to treat his son badly.

The two went to the martial arts field side by side.

While they were still on the road, someone rushed to report to Emperor Yuanyou: "Your Majesty, the son-in-law and the eldest son of Qin have made an appointment to fight, and the fight is about to begin!"

Chen Tingjian and Qin Yuantang are now by Emperor Yuanyou's side. Hearing this, Chen Tingjian first scolded his own son for being evil, stubborn, lawless and so on.

Emperor Yuanyou didn't like listening to it anymore, so he interrupted him and said, "Writing has literary fighting, and military fighting has fighting. Only by exchanging ideas can we learn from each other's strengths, and we can benefit ourselves. Sir, you know the old and the present, don't you even understand this truth?"

He Qingxian: "That's right, it's a good talk for young people to make friends with martial arts. Why did Pavilion Elder Chen get involved in impoliteness? Fortunately, you are a literati, otherwise if anyone asks you to discuss, you will be scolded in your heart."

Chen Tingjian: ...

Qin Yuantang originally wanted to blame his own son for his refusal to give in. Seeing that the Pavilion Elder Chen who spoke first was turned red by Emperor Yuanyou and He Ge, he, a clumsy military officer, immediately changed his words and persuaded Pavilion Elder with a smile.Chen doesn't have to worry about it, it's just a discussion, which is too common in the military.

Doesn't Chen Tingjian know that sparring is the style of warriors?

But he felt that the fourth child was unhappy because the long princess praised Qin Ji, so he ran to provoke Qin Ji.

Emperor Yuanyou also thought so, he was worried that things would become a big problem, so he immediately took people to the martial arts arena.

Hua Yang also got the news. When she arrived at the martial arts arena, Chen Jingzong and Qin Ji had already fought dozens of rounds.

Ordinary soldiers are not proficient in marksmanship, and they all rely on brute force when they are sparring, and they don't have much demeanor to reward.

However, Chen Jingzong and Qin Ji are both outstanding young military officers. The two of them competed with each other, their bodies were like the wind, and their spears were like dragons. In just a few blinks, the two of them chased from one end of the martial arts arena to the other.Sometimes you attack and I defend, and sometimes the situation turns around.

Hua Yang didn't know whether to look at the two flying spears or Chen Jingzong's face.

Everyone was attracted by the wonderful martial arts on the martial arts arena, and almost no one noticed that the long princess clenched her hands secretly, and noticed that the long princess' eyes were always following the son-in-law.

Only Qi Jin looked at Hua Yang several times without any trace.

With a sound of "Zheng", a long spear was lifted into the air, flew obliquely into the martial field, and plunged into the empty space on one side.

At the same time, the tip of Chen Jingzong's gun barely stopped on Qin Ji's chest.

Qin Ji smiled bitterly: "I lost."

Chen Jingzong played to his heart's content, so he didn't mind his skillful release of water just now.

The spear turned in his hand, and finally the tail of the gun touched the ground, and the head of the gun was facing upwards.

Chen Jingzong stood with a gun in his hand, his eyes fixed on the face of Qin Yuantang, who was smiling and cheering his son-in-law: "I have admired the great general for a long time, so I wonder if I can teach you a thing or two?"

Qin Yuantang who was suddenly named: ...

Chen Tingjian wanted to scold his son again, but only remembered that Emperor Yuanyou had scolded him for this. Chen Tingjian pursed his lips and looked at the young emperor asking for instructions.

Emperor Yuanyou's martial arts were limited, plus the fact that Chen and Qin were fighting heartily, his mind was tense, and he didn't realize that Qin Ji had actually deliberately sold his flaws to Chen Jingzong.The arrogance of looking down on the world deeply aroused Emperor Yuanyou's admiration and love for his brother-in-law!

Emperor Yuanyou loved his brother-in-law, so why would he think that it was wrong for his brother-in-law to provoke Qin Yuantang?

The young emperor watched the excitement and turned to Qin Yuantang.

Qin Yuantang understood that he was a tiger general after all, and he said in a hearty voice: "Okay, the last general will practice with his son-in-law!"

It is right for a son to be a son-in-law. His age and qualifications are here. If he really loses to a junior, how will he lead the three armies in the future?

Before taking the stage, Qin Yuantang secretly gave Chen Tingjian a look.

Pavilion Elder Chen, don't blame the general for not being merciful to the son-in-law later!
