My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 475: The war drums are about to sound, and we will conquer the east to the sea

buzzing...

"mother……"

The sound of flying bees rang softly in my ears, and the stuttering voice of my son Bei Gongshu also rang. The gentle and virtuous woman stood in front of the half-trimmed potted plant. She didn't know what her expression should be at this time.

There may be a smile on her lips, or it may be that these years of loneliness have made her look angry, or maybe he is not welcome here, with a repulsive indifference.

I remember when I heard the name 'Su Chen', my late husband knew that the other party was only eighteen years old at that time and was already fighting against her husband.

Later, I thought my husband could eliminate this person, but in the end the other person stood in the court, and the self-righteous husband died in his hands. I originally hated him, but then many things happened. When I looked at him by the bedside, No matter what, I can't hate it.

After living in Ding'an for five years, she sometimes hated her, but when she hated her, and heard her daughter beside her talking in her sleep, her hatred turned into a slight sigh.

All this time, she had been listening to the rumors from the outside, hearing that he had unified the six countries and truly ruled the world, heard that he worked hard to keep the people of the world fed and clothed, and she felt sorry for this man.

Maybe she thought she would spend her whole life guarding a pair of children, but a familiar figure stood in front of her, and she didn't know how to speak. She just stood there in a daze, with the flowers in her hands cut off by her feet. Know.

Until her daughter Yingying ran over, tugged at the hem of her skirt and shook it, "Mom... there is a monster." The figure at the other end of the field of vision came over.

In the exquisite flower garden, Jiang Wan's breathing was rapid, and her chest was heaving violently. The approaching figure said: "You cut these flowers? They are very beautiful!" When the words came out, Su Chen looked away from the potted plants in the flower garden, with a smile in his eyes. Look at the woman in front of you.

"I haven't seen you for a long time."

Jiang Wan lowered her head and lowered her gaze, and the sun shone down. She stood quietly in the square inch of land at her feet, blinking her eyelashes. When she heard these greetings, her body trembled slightly, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. She quickly He wiped the corners of his eyes, then smiled at the man in front of him and bowed slightly.

"Jiang Wan, a civilian girl, pays homage to His Majesty."

The young man on the side pursed his lips, raised his hands tremblingly, and then bowed respectfully.

"Mom... who is he?" the five-year-old girl asked while pulling her mother's skirt. When she saw her mother crying, she turned around and raised her chubby little face, pouting at Su Chen and glaring like a cerebellum. Like a tiger, he shouted fiercely: "Don't bully my mother!"

"what is her name?"

Jiang Wan sniffed and whispered: "Su Ying."

As she spoke, she stroked the child's head and said, "Yingying, don't be so fierce. He is your father."

"what?"

The ferocity on the young face suddenly turned into dullness, and he looked up at the tall figure in front of him blankly. Su Chen smiled, reached out and rubbed her little head, and then said to Jiang Wan, "Don't you want me to come in and sit down?"

……

Know... know... know...

The warm wind blew slowly through the courtyard, swaying the branches and leaves. The summer cicada lay on the swaying treetops and neighed one after another. Bei Gongshu squatted under the eaves and was lost in thought. He didn't know what he was thinking. The little girl next to him also followed suit. With her brother squatting on the ground, clasping her hands between her knees and her chest, she squinted her eyes, and then yawned faintly.

Hearing a chuckle from the side, the little girl turned her head and saw the ferocious-looking giant man looking at her. Then she stared back with a 'ferocious' expression and muttered: "Big monster!"

In the side room on one side, the furnishings were exquisite and warm. Jiang Wan, dragging her long skirt, was making a pot of tea. Shi Shiran came over, filled the tea cup for Su Chen, and then smiled gently at him.

Su Chen sat down on the chair, put his hands on the armrests, and looked quietly at the woman sitting opposite.

The fragrance of tea lingered around the room, and after a while of silence, he finally spoke: "You really don't want to go back with me?"

Jiang Wan rolled her hair, not daring to look at Su Chen. She was silent for a moment and shook her head.

"Thank you for your kindness. In the past few years in Ding'an, I have lived a comfortable life. I played with flowers and plants in my free time. When I got bored, I took Shu'er and Yingying to go shopping outside, and went for an outing outside the city to see the mountains and rivers. If I come back When we get to the palace, not to mention changing our surnames, but the overt and covert fights between His Majesty's Queen and his concubines are not what I want." "I understand, and I won't force you, but I feel a little indebted to you, to you, to you. Yingying..." Su Chen is no longer the impulsive age of eighteen or nineteen, especially in the past few years when he was the emperor.

"In the past few years, I have been busy with the people of the world living a good life, busy with conquests here and there, but I have left my woman and daughter alone."

"Your Majesty is a good emperor."

When Jiang Wan heard these words, she smiled warmly. She suddenly stood up and walked to Su Chen. She slowly knelt down and held the man's hand. "Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy. His heart is dedicated to the country, the country, and the people of the world. Although I am trapped in this world." In this mansion, I have also heard people outside speaking highly of His Majesty. They all say that Your Majesty is a wise king who has not appeared in hundreds of years. Every time I think of this, the pain in my body and mind is nothing."

"But... he is not a good father."

Su Chen felt the woman's warm palm rubbing the back of his hand. He closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I will personally fight against the Japanese pirates this year."

The slender jade fingers caressing the back of the man's hand stopped. In the warm room, Jiang Wan raised her head and looked at the emperor in front of her.

"Your Majesty wants to go in person?"

Su Chen sat there, looked at her, and then nodded, "I want to go in person this time, and there are some things that I have to do personally. When I returned to Ding'an, I had already begun preparations for my personal expedition to the East China Sea Islands, and the imperial edict was also sent out. Both soldiers and frontmen Along the way, I will command Feiyungang's navy from the north, and Guan Yu will command Wuzhou's navy from the south. After leaving Ding'an, I will return to Yanjing."

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Wan didn't know what to say. She leaned down gently and pressed her face against Su Chen's legs, "I don't understand this. When Your Majesty goes to war, I will definitely be in the Buddhist hall for you." Your Majesty prays."

"Pray for blessings. I don't believe it. It would be more practical to let me stay here for a few days."

Hearing this, Jiang Wan, who was leaning on the man's legs, turned red. But she didn't refuse, she just moved her fingertips and gently drew circles on the back of Su Chen's hand.

Soon, Su Chen walked out of the room and asked Shisan to go back and tell the Su family that he would stay here for three days and then go back for two days. Thirteen naturally understood, and immediately returned to the Su Mansion and told Xiao Wei what Su Chen said. The old woman was not confused. Her son asked Thirteen to come back and say so. In fact, in another aspect, the Su family took more care of her. .

"Thirteen, do you really see clearly? How tall and old is that little girl?"

With Su Chen's instructions, Thirteen naturally told Xiao Wei everything he saw when he entered the house. There was also his sister-in-law Yin Suhuan, who covered her mouth in surprise.

"So Yingying is..." She looked at her mother-in-law, "Is she the granddaughter of the old lady?"

Xiao Wei walked back and forth in the yard with a cane, and the smile never broke on her face. She was worried that after her grandson left in a few days, there would be no one around her. Unexpectedly, the third child also had a daughter who was always in Ding'an City. , she, as a mother, was actually kept hidden.

For this unexpected granddaughter, the old man was naturally in love with the house and was very anxious. He probably wanted to wait for Su Chen to leave and pay a visit in person. It would be best if he could take the mother and daughter over together. If not, let the granddaughter come with him. Stay for a while.

Su Chen in Jiang's house also lived a comfortable life for three days. She took Su Ying around all day long, and Jiang Wan served her in the evening. Perhaps knowing that Su Chen wanted to personally conquer the Japanese pirates, she tried her best to satisfy the man on the bed.

Two days later, Su Chen returned to the Su Mansion and was called to the Su family ancestral hall by her mother, Xiao Wei, for a good scolding. But then the old woman happily asked her son about Su Ying. After hearing the description, she knew that her temperament was similar to that of Su Ying. Su Chen looked very much like Su Chen when he was a child, a little naughty, but Xiao Wei didn't care at all, but found it interesting.

But Su Chen was a little depressed because he actually had a sister.

It's a pity that they didn't have a chance to play together, and they were about to return to Yanjing with their father. Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and when they left Ding'an, the entire Su family, as well as the officials from the government, all went outside the city to see him off.

However, far away from the crowd, Su Chen saw a lonely carriage parked on the side of the road. Without guessing, he knew it was Jiang Wan and her daughter. Just as they were leaving, the curtain of the carriage opened and Jiang Wan hugged Su Ying and waved to him.

Su Chen also saw his sister at this time, and waved goodbye to her with a smile from the car window.

Just as the team left Ding'an City and returned to Yanjing, the imperial edict for the conquest had already been sent to Wuzhou in the south. Also passing there were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who took over all military and political affairs in Wuzhou from Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, and Zhou Cang. power. Wuzhou navy general Zhao Kui'an also began to increasingly train his soldiers and drill warships.

Large amounts of grain, crossbows, and iron cannons also began to be shipped out of the warehouse, registered, and distributed.

At Feiyungang, the last batch of Huya and Qinglong warships were delivered one by one and sent to Zhou Yu's command. A large number of navy soldiers were recruited and were practicing day by day at sea.

Not long after Su Chen returned to Yanjing, the drums of war also sounded.
