Chapter 169: The General Returns
Lin'an Street.
Su Yuan wore a black gauze hat with a golden flower on his head, a bright red robe on his body, held the imperial edict in his hand, and rode a horse with a golden saddle and a red mane. He was surrounded by people in front and behind, with flags and drums leading the way, and he looked very impressive.
The signs all read "Silence" and "Avoid".
However, the people on both sides were very enthusiastic and rushed to the middle of the road as if they had seen nothing to get a closer look at the number one scholar. Some unmarried young men and ladies from wealthy families even threw sachets and handkerchiefs at Su Yuan with shy and joyful eyes.
Right in front.
When someone threw something at Su Yuan from a distance, he subconsciously hugged the object into his arms quickly and accurately.
She looked down at the handful of fragrant men's stuff and shook her head helplessly.
So, how do we deal with this thing?
Lost?
However, before she could figure out what was going on, an angry voice came from a high place in front of her:
"Su Yuan, why don't you throw it away?"
Hearing the sound, Su Yuan looked up towards the source of the sound and saw that the window of the second-floor room of Su Yun Hotpot Restaurant was wide open.
Ji Qiubai puffed up his cheeks like a little puffer fish. Now this man was lying on the windowsill, sticking his mouth into her arms.
Beside the man were Su's father and Meng's father, both with proud smiles on their faces, as well as several husbands with eyes full of admiration and joy.
Of course, her best friend was also there, and she was waving at him loudly and conspicuously:
"Sister Yuan——"
"Sister Yuan, look here."
Seeing her silly look with half of her body hanging out of the window, Su Yuan raised a hand helplessly and waved it at her.
Then he looked down at the sachet and other things in his arms, and decided not to waste them, so he threw them back into the crowd.
Suddenly, the noisy crowd stopped chattering for a moment, then they reacted and stopped pushing inside, and lowered their heads to pick up the gifts thrown by the new number one scholar.
During this time, there were also occasional sounds of joy and excitement:
"Wow! I found a sachet that the top scholar had lost. Hahahaha, I will hang it on the head of my daughter's bed from now on, and urge her to study every day, and hope she can pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar for me."
"I, I, I got it too. Hey, don't grab the handkerchief in my hand. I found it first."
upstairs.
Ji Qiubai nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and looked up proudly at his sweetheart who was approaching.
There was a sly flash in his eyes, and he turned around and waved to the three men next to him. They gathered together and talked for a long time.
Then he turned around and looked with his bright eyes at the team that was about to arrive at the window below.
Su Yuan, with a beaming look on his face, rode his tall horse and swayed to his own hot pot restaurant.
She raised her head slightly and was about to say hello to her father, father-in-law and several husbands upstairs.
Unexpectedly, the next moment several unidentified objects fell from the sky and hit her in the face.
Su Yuan frowned slightly, and tried to move to the side, intending to ignore this thing.
I guess it's someone enthusiastically throwing sachets at me again.
Now that she understands, it’s better for her not to answer!
Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced upstairs and saw the smiling faces of several men.
Suddenly, I understood a little bit.
He immediately quickly grabbed the sachet that was about to fall to the ground, especially when he saw the black sachet with a small sword embroidered on the top.
The smile on Su Yuan's lips deepened.
There was a rare tenderness in her eyes. She raised her head slightly and scanned the faces of several men in turn.
Then he gently stuffed the sachet into his lapel, and his figure gradually walked away with the sound of the horse's hooves.
About a cup of tea later.
The horse-riding parade had clearly come to an end.
Su Yuan glanced at his slightly messy clothes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally I can turn back.
No matter how good her martial arts skills are, she is still fixed on horseback. She cannot afford to be hurt in the face of thousands of enthusiastic people!
Thinking of this, she turned around and glanced at Yuan Shifan behind her, a smile flashing across her eyes.
Just look at the faces of their runner-ups and you’ll know.
Tsk tsk——
There was a big red and swollen bump on the forehead.
Today's trip was her worst.
After all, she and Lu Yanxin both know martial arts.
After carefully gloating for a while, Su Yuan, led by the guard who was leading the group holding up the plaque, pulled the reins, turned the tall horse around, and planned to go home.
Unexpectedly, he just turned back.
Her pupils trembled.
Suddenly, a large group of people emerged from the streets ahead, and their number was no less than the people she had just paraded.
There was excitement and excitement on the faces of this group of people. The sound of "thump thump" footsteps was endless, and a cloud of gray dust rose behind them.
When you get closer, you can hear what they say:
"The young general has returned to the capital, go and greet him."
Hearing this, Su Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Little General, is that the one she knows?
Su Yuan was puzzled. He turned his head to look at the leading officer who was commanding the troops to move aside temporarily. He asked in an uncertain tone:
"I don't know which young general has attracted the people's enthusiastic welcome. I have been studying at home recently and preparing for the imperial examination. I didn't pay attention to the army returning to the court today."
Upon hearing this, the leading officer nodded in understanding, and then looked at the soldiers who were already marching into the city.
His eyes were full of radiance, and upon closer inspection, they were filled with admiration and worship. He introduced himself in a serious tone:
"Little General——, to be exact, he is not a little general."
She deliberately emphasized the word "little" in her voice, and without turning back, she continued to look at the ghost-faced man riding on a snow horse who was gradually entering the city with burning eyes like an ordinary citizen:
"He is Lu Shengling, the great general who went to war for his mother eight years ago. He is the famous god of war in our Fengqi country. As for why the people call him the little general."
"It's all because of his mother, who was once a famous general who fought for Fengqi State in many battles. She is now the Marquis of Wu'an. But... it's a pity that since she was paralyzed in bed eight years ago, the man guarding the northern border has become her son."
At this point, Wu Sanshu became so angry that his teeth were itching.
The Lu family has sacrificed their lives to protect the safety of Fengqi country for generations, and many of their descendants have gone to the battlefield and never returned.
General Lu's two elder sisters sacrificed their lives for the country and died on the battlefield. Now, Lu Shengling is the only legitimate son of the Lu family.
But this group of foul-mouthed people not only did not respect or admire the young general, but also made fun of the young general's appearance in private.
With such a grand welcome now, I wonder how many people are sincere in this regard.
The other side.
After listening to her introduction, Su Yuan thanked her softly, then turned his head and looked diagonally forward with a rare hint of interest in his eyes.
I saw the city gate.
A team of soldiers was entering the city at a steady pace, and a bright red flag with the word "Lu" on it was fluttering in the wind under the blue sky.
The man in the middle, wearing silver armor and a golden ghost mask on his face, stood out among the many women dressed as generals.
Although he had covered most of his face, his exposed, narrow, deep eyes were sharp and cold. He looked like an eagle in the night, cold, arrogant, lonely and domineering.
Such a unique temperament.
So much so that at the first glance, Su Yuan accurately confirmed his identity. This was the great general and the god of war of Fengqi Kingdom.
——Lu Shengling.
