Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 124

After reading the imperial decree, Chu Jing didn't care about any formality, and directly handed the scroll in his hand to Su Qi, without saying a word of nonsense: "My son... No, General Su, the situation is urgent, and we can't tolerate too much greetings, you If we're ready, we'll go right away."

Su Qi's expression froze, and after receiving the imperial decree and confirming that it was correct, the sleepiness on his face was immediately wiped away, and he immediately put on a serious expression, and immediately said: "Okay, let's go now."

"Wait!" Gu Yunji hadn't even come to his senses, and grabbed Su Qi who was about to go out, "What are you going for? Where are you going? What's going on?"

Su Qi stuffed the imperial decree into his arms, and explained clearly in a few words: "The situation in Datong Town is critical. Your Majesty ordered Mr. Chu to be the commander-in-chief and I to be the deputy general. Let us return to Beijing immediately to lead the troops to support, and I will leave soon. "

After reading the imperial decree from beginning to end, Gu Yunji still couldn't believe it: "Now? It's still dark outside, and we can't hurry. Can't we leave tomorrow morning?"

"No." Su Qi's tone was deep, with deep worry in his eyes, "Datong Town was besieged by 15 Tatar cavalry, food and grass were cut off, and there was a risk of the city being destroyed at any time. If I delay it for a day, they will be even more difficult. Can't wait."

Maybe it was because as a child of the Su family, he knew that such a day would come; or maybe it was because Ding Guogong was seriously injured, and he had a premonition about it. In short, Su Qi seemed to be prepared for it, and accepted the fact without being too surprised , much calmer than Chu Jing imagined.

Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs and sons, and he is worthy of being a descendant of the Su family.

Seeing that Su Qi was so calm and calm, and aware of the overall situation, Chu Jing admired it very much in his heart, and he also had more confidence in the next two to support Datong Town and fight against the Tatar cavalry.

Gu Yunji knew that the situation was critical, but he still couldn't react to Su Qi's immediate return to Beijing overnight, and was in a hurry: "Then, then... I will help you pack your luggage, what do you want to bring? Although it is already April, but It should still be a bit cold to come to northern Xinjiang, so we need to prepare more thick clothes. There is also a cloak, which can block the wind, do you want to bring it too?"

"Young Master Gu, you don't need to clean up." Chu Jing stopped him from packing his luggage, "These things were all prepared early in the morning. Even if there are any gaps, they can be filled at any time on the way, as long as General Su returns to Beijing with me. .”

Wanting to help but unable to, Cheng Yan on the side could only worry in his heart, looking at Su Qi worriedly: "Then be careful on the road, and write to us early when you arrive in Northern Xinjiang."

"Okay, I'll write to you as soon as I arrive." Su Qi smiled slightly, his eyes were exceptionally bright in the darkness, he turned around and looked at Gu Yunji and the others carefully and seriously, "Then... Yunji, Cheng Yan, And Xu Shanzhang, I’m leaving now.”

Xu Chengyu nodded and took a deep look at him: "Well, take good care of yourself."

Looking at the back of Su Qi turning away, Gu Yunji suddenly felt a strong reluctance in his heart, which made his chest sore, and suddenly called out: "Su Qi!"

Su Qi stopped, turned sideways and looked at him quietly.

"Come back earlier." Gu Yunji's throat rolled, and his voice sounded a bit dry, "You said that you have to watch Cheng Yan and I pass the Jinshi exam with your own eyes and parade across the streets in the capital. This is our agreement, you have to remember .”

"Okay, I will keep my promise."

Su Qi stood at the door, and the cold moonlight outside shone down, enveloping his back that was as straight as a green pine. Compared with the sturdy Chu Jing beside him, the boy's figure was still a bit thin, but the weight that was about to be added to his immature shoulders , is Shen Ruwanjun's heavy burden.

He heard Su Qi's soft voice: "Yun Ji, Cheng Yan, take care."

"...Take care." Gu Yunji was a little distracted, and murmured back after a while.When he raised his head again, Su Qi was no longer in the room, leaving only the clear moonlight.

Looking at Gu Yunji, who was only wearing a single shirt, Xu Chengyu sighed silently, picked up the outer clothes beside him and put them on him: "It's late at night, be careful not to freeze yourself, go back and rest early."

Gu Yunji didn't move, but asked in a daze: "Teacher, when will Su Qi and the others come back?"

"I don't know." Xu Chengyu raised his head and looked in the direction where Su Qi was leaving, with a somewhat disappointed tone, "It depends on when the Tatars retreated. It could be a few months, a few years, or even longer. No one can say for sure." .”

Cheng Yan pursed his lips tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes turned red when he heard the words, and complained: "Why him? Why Su Qi! In such a huge court, can't even find a general to command the army?" Have you come out? You must send him a 17-year-old boy!"

As he spoke, Cheng Yan's voice lowered, and he was already crying: "The swords on the battlefield have no eyes, and the Tatars are extremely fierce. What if something happens...Duke Ding has been seriously injured and unconscious. , I haven't woken up yet, he is the last hope of the Su family, can't we let him be safe..."

Xu Chengyu's tone was heavy: "It is precisely because he is the last hope of the Su family, so he is the only one. The Tatar soldiers are approaching the city, and Duke Ding is still in a coma, unable to take charge of the overall situation. The soldiers at the border have no backbone, so naturally the army is unstable The Su family is full of loyalty, and their children have joined the army for generations. Now, apart from Duke Ding, only his only son, Su Qi, can quickly stabilize the situation and calm people's hearts by relying on the prestige accumulated by the ancestors of the Su family in the army."

"As Su Qi, he just needs to stand there, even if he doesn't do anything, it's enough to be convincing." Xu Chengyu let out a breath slowly, and his voice softened, "In the past, he was supported by Duke Ding. If you can be free, now that Duke Ding has fallen, it is naturally his turn to bear the burden."

Gu Yunji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Chengyu expectantly and said, "In this way, Su Qi only needs to stay in Datong Town, and doesn't necessarily have to go to battle to kill the enemy, does it?"

Although this is the case, even though Chu Jing thought that Su Qi was young and would not let him do risky things, as the son of Ding Guogong, Su Qi also inherited the iron bones of his ancestors, I am afraid that he will not Willing to shrink back and enjoy the security.

Looking at the fragile mental state of Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, Xu Chengyu was worried that telling the truth would irritate them, so he simply followed the words to comfort him: "Well, it can be said that. After all, Su Qi is the only child of the Su family. He is injured, Master Chu is not good to tell Ding Guogong that he will not be sent to the front of the battle to fight against the Tatars."

Hearing these words, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan finally felt more at ease, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.

It's just that they are thinking about Su Qi's safety, the two of them can't really rest assured, their thoughts are very chaotic, and they have no sleep all night.

　I will change the book cover in these two days, let me tell you.
