Chapter 954: Ten Years of Hardship in Wind, Snow and Frost (4)
Amidst the whining of the cold wind, lanterns lit up one after another in the corridor below the small building and under the eaves.
A few orange lights were lit, illuminating the dim courtyard. Tan'er folded his arms and looked down from the railing. Ning Yi came up with a lantern: "This is my first time here. At that time, I felt that it was very similar to the small courtyard in Jiangning.”
Tan'er was still a little confused at first, but now she laughed: "What are you going to do?"
"What else can the couple do? You just happened to be here, so I brought you to see - I brought some food "Yes." Ning Yi smiled, picked up the package again, and opened the door to the side.
The furnishings in the room are simple - it seems to be a woman's boudoir - there are tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and other items. Perhaps they have been prepared before. There is not much dust at this time. Ning Yi pulled out a brazier from under the table and pulled it out. He took out the machete he brought with him and chopped the two benches in the room into firewood.
Tan'er looked at his actions funny. She had not seen Ning Yi behave so casually for many years. She took two steps forward and squatted down to help unpack the baggage and said: "This house is still owned by someone else." Yes, isn’t it good for you to act like this?”
“It’s not very good, so I didn’t bring anyone else here.”
The knife skills I learned from Hongti, Xigua and others can be used to chop firewood smoothly, and the firewood branches are very neat. , and soon a fire broke out. The room seemed warm. Tan'er opened the bag and took out a bunch of food from the small box inside: small pieces of steamed buns, marinated chicken wings, meat slices, a few skewered meatballs, half of fish, a few vegetables... two Pan early Fried side dishes, and wine...
She couldn't help but smile. When her family gathered together, Ning Yi would occasionally organize a round of barbecue. With his careful study of food, the taste was good. It’s just that the Chinese military has not had sufficient supplies in recent years. Ning Yi has set a food quota for everyone by setting an example. Even if he wants to save some meat for barbecue and eat it in large quantities, it often takes some time to accumulate, but Ning Yi does. Have fun doing it.
The husband and wife have been together for so many years, and although there are days when they get together less and apart more often, the pace of each other has become extremely familiar to each other. Tan'er placed the food and wine on the round table in the room, and then looked around the room, which had few decorations. The world outside seemed dark, except for the courtyard, which was bathed in a warm yellow due to the lights below.
Ning Yi held the fish slices and put them on the fire: "This house looks like the building that was burned down."
Tan'er turned around and said, "It was burned down in the fire. ."
"Yes." Ning Yi nodded.
“You are so familiar with this place, how many people have you brought here to visit?”
"Not many, Hongti...Juan'er...Xiao Hu and Xiao Zhang from the Secretariat...Aunt Tiantian from the Women's Association, and..." Ning Yi opened his hands and counted them in the extinguishing light of the fire. , looking at Tan'er's eyes that were beginning to become rounder but also filled with a little smile, I couldn't help it. He laughed and said, "Okay, I just brought Hongti here last time..."
"Why are you so happy after winning a battle?" Tan'er said softly, "Don't get carried away. ”
“It’s pride, but not pride.” Ning Yi. Sitting on the stool, looking at the grilled fish in his hand, "There are many ideas for this battle with the Jurchens. When mobilizing, we can be very heroic. What we want in our hearts is to burn the boat, but now, there is finally a development. During the battle at Yuyuxi, Zong Han gave Zong Han a hard blow. I will not retreat. Next, these guys who have caused trouble in the world will bet their lives on the southwest. Every time this happens, I want to get out of the whole situation and see these things. "
He said. As he said these words, the expression on his face was not proud, but solemn. Tan'er sat down. She has also been the decision-maker of many major events. Knowing that people are in the game, it is inevitable that they will not be clear-headed because of the interests involved. Ning Yi's state may really pull him away from a higher place. When she discovered something, her face became serious.
Ning Yi smiled: "I recently remembered that when I was in Jiangning, the building was not burned yet. Sometimes... you would come back at night and we would chat together in the corridor outside. At that time, I should not have imagined what would happen later. Things, Hangzhou Fangla The matter of Liangshan, the matter of resisting Jin, the matter of killing the emperor... If you want to do magic, at most you will become the helmsman of the Su family in the future and run the cloth business in a prosperous manner. I am not considered... a mess. Your whole life?”
"I'm really unprepared..." Tan'er thought for a while, "Especially after the rebellion, all the preparations in the first half of my life were in vain, and later I was forced to leave... Before you kill the emperor, I gave the Su family some thought After a lot of planning and getting rid of the court, our family returned to Jiangning. After experiencing those big things, we have a family and children, and there is nothing to fear in the world.”
"At that time." Thinking of these, Su Tan'er, who had been the matron of the house for more than ten years, had bright eyes, "...Those thoughts were indeed the most practical thoughts."
More than ten years ago, in the days before the regicide, although I encountered various problems in Beijing, as long as the problems were solved, everything would fall into place after returning to Jiangning. These are still planned ideas. Su Tan'er felt something in her heart when she said this, but she didn't quite understand the purpose of Ning Yi mentioning it. Ning Yi stretched out a hand and shook Tan'er's hand.
"Thank you." he said.
“Mr.
"Over the years, the decisions I have made have changed the lives of many people. Sometimes I can take care of it, and sometimes I have no time to take care of it. In fact, it has more impact on the family. Your husband suddenly changed from a businessman to a businessman. The leader of the rebellion, Yunzhu Jin'er, probably only thought about a stable life before. It's valuable. After I killed Zhou Zhe, I walked up to the front, and you had to go up. There was no buffer period, and it took more than ten years. "
Tan'er. His face turned slightly red: "Actually...you don't need to say this..."
"I'm not sorry. Maybe not either." There are more choices, but it is still a bit regretful..." Ning Yi smiled, "Think about it, if there could be such a world, there were no Jurchens from the beginning, you might still be running the Su family now, and I would teach, I was lazy, and when I had nothing to do, I saw a bunch of fools writing poems at a party. It was a festival, and the streets were filled with fireworks and fish all night long. Dragon Dance...it will be very interesting if it continues like this."
Ning Yi said this, and Tan'er's eyes suddenly turned red: "You are... just here to make me cry."
“The Chinese New Year is almost here, and it’s quite interesting to think about these things in my youth.”
Ning Yi grilled the food in his hands and realized that her husband was indeed coming out with memories. Tan'er finally put away her mood to talk about business. She helped Ning Yi bake something and talked about the recent situation of the children at home. . The two picked up their wine glasses and clinked them at the round table.
The day has quickly entered the boundary of night. Through the open door, little lights are floating in the distance of the city. The lanterns below the courtyard are swaying in the wind. Suddenly there was a sound, like overwhelming rain, but heavier than the rain, and the crackling sound enveloped the house. The brazier in the room shook a few times, and Ning Yi threw in the firewood. Tan'er stood up and walked to the corridor outside, and then said: "There are grains of rice falling."
Ning Yi's eyes flashed, and then he clicked He nodded: "It has already snowed in other places in the world."
At this time, the Central Plains and Jiangnan have long been covered by heavy snow. Only the Chengdu Plain has always been rainy this year, but it seems that, The time has also come. Tan'er returned to the room, and the couple ate and drank in front of the light snow that was pattering all over the sky, while chatting about interesting things at home and gossip in the army.
Ning Yi talked about Xu Shaoyuan and Yong Jinrou:
"Speaking of Xu Shaoyuan from the Secretariat, he is relatively dull, but his ability to do things is still very strong. He had fallen in love with Master Yong's sister before. You know Yong Jinrou. She is in her early thirties, very beautiful, well-educated, and has been a widow for seven or eight years. Now I am working as a teacher in Hedeng. I heard that many people in the army have fallen in love with her, but there is no point in proposing marriage to Mrs. Yong. She is said to let her choose..."
"Xu Shaoyuan is right Yong Jinrou fell in love at first sight , but he doesn't know how to pick up girls. He asked the guy from the General Staff to give him advice. None of these crazy people are reliable. Zou Lie knows, right? How did I know that it was Xu Shaoyuan who wanted to pick up Yong Jinrou and told them a few stories about heroes saving beauties? Then Xu Shaoyuan went to Hedeng. In three days, he was busy writing poems, finding people to pretend to be gangsters, and then pretending to be fake. internal injury , when he confessed his love... he almost used force... Master Li saw him and found a few female soldiers to beat him up..."
"After the beating, he came to me to complain again. , saying that the people in the Secretariat are acting like hooligans . I went to ask, called Xu Shaoyuan out, and confronted Yong Jinrou. After the confrontation, I asked Xu Shaoyuan to make a sincere self-criticism in front of Yong Jinrou... I also helped him compile a sincere confession. Of course, I didn’t write it for him, I helped him sort out his mood and express his feelings again through self-examination... My wife, I’m smart. Mr. Li cried at that time and was so moved... But Yong Jinrou refused with all his heart. Tsk, it’s really ..."
"Shi Dong... but refused..." Tan'er interrupted, "What do you mean?"
"I was very touched - and then I rejected him."< br>
"Is there such an idiom..."
"I invented it recently." Ning Yi smiled, "Then, I asked Miss Shishi to help solve Yong Jinrou's emotional problems. She has a good relationship with Yong Jinrou. This is just asking about it. Let me know one thing..."
The couple were talking about these trivial matters in the room. I don’t know how long it took. The food was cold and Ning Yi was slightly drunk. Ning Yi sat on a stool and looked outside. Snow particles all over the sky, said:
"Before the Battle of Yuyu Creek, the general idea of the Southwest Campaign was to hold on first and then wait for the opponent to reveal his flaws. After the Battle of Yuyu Creek, Wanyan Zonghan was really the enemy in front of us. The next idea was to use Do everything possible to defeat his army and chop off his head - of course, this is his idea. "Ning Yi chuckled, "I feel a little excited when I think about it."
Tan'er turned to look at him, and then gradually understood.
She held his hand: "Don't worry."
"Of course."
In the past ten years, starting from the small Su family in Jiangning, to Huangshang The incident, the danger to Hangzhou, the trip to Liangshan, disaster relief, regicide... Ning Yi has felt alienated from many things for a long time. After the regicide, in the eyes of outsiders, he was more of a man of contempt for the world, and many people were not in his eyes - perhaps in the eyes of Li Pin and others, even the glory of Confucianism in the entire Wu Dynasty era was not there In his eyes.
When facing the powerful Xixia and Jurchens, he would adopt a more or less conciliatory attitude, but that was just a formulaic approach.
Facing an army of 100,000 led by Li Qianshun, Ning Yi just said to the envoy sent, "People from China will not surrender to foreign countries", and then defeated the entire Xixia army.
Wanyan Loushi came to the northwest with great momentum. Fan Hongji sent the heads of Lu Yannian and others to demonstrate. Ning Yi said to the Chinese soldiers: "The situation is stronger than the people, so be friendly." When Loushi approached Yanzhou, Ning Yi also He said to the team, "Starting from today, all the Chinese army will launch an attack on the Jurchens." Fight."
After killing Lou Shi, there was no room for change. The Jurchens imagined victory without a fight, and then came to persuade them to surrender, threatening to massacre Xiaocanghe into mass graves, while Ning Yi directly Said, this will not be a mass grave, this will be a mass grave of 100,000 people or a mass grave of millions.
When showing weakness is useful, he will show weakness in words and some small strategies. But in action, Ning Yi is extremely strong no matter who he faces.
For a long time, the Huaxia Army has been at a disadvantage in the face of the entire world, but in the heart of my husband, he has never been at a disadvantage, and he has incomparable confidence in the future. In the Chinese army, this kind of confidence is also passed down layer by layer to everyone working below.
Faced with Zong Han and Xi Yin’s menacing southern expedition, the Chinese army, infected by Ning Yi’s attitude, only regarded it as a “problem that needs to be solved”. But at this moment after the battle of Yuyuxi, when Tan'er looked at Ning Yi, she finally saw a little tension in him, which was the activity and tension that the players on the competition field began to maintain before taking the field.
From the perspective of the entire world, after Wanyan Agu was defeated, Zong Han and Xi Yin were indeed the most powerful and terrifying giants on the stage of the world. For the past twenty or thirty years, wherever they looked, no one could be their vanguard. sharp. Over the years, the Huaxia Army has achieved some results, and many people in the world have taken it seriously. However, in front of Zong Han, Xi Yin and others, the Huaxia Army and the inner demon Ning Yi have always been inferior. There are one or even two levels.
The opponent is a demon king who can crush the world after a lifetime of tyranny, and there is still a behemoth like the Wu Dynasty in the world that is unstoppable and unstoppable. The Chinese Army is just a powerful force that is gradually transforming into a country.
But at this moment, Ning Yi had murderous intentions towards Zong Han. In Tan'er's eyes, if Zong Han is the most terrifying giant of this era, the husband in front of her finally stretched out his muscles and faced him with the same giant posture...
Her mind Such a picture flashed through the window, and the ice particles falling outside the window gradually became smaller.
The heavy snow is about to fall, and the world will become what the Jurchens were familiar with...
The first update that has not been seen in many years!
