On that day, it rained heavily.
Under the leadership of the team leader, our group of soldiers participated in the assessment and carried forward 40 Li with heavy load, taking the order of the destination as the promotion standard. During the 40 Li journey, there were flat mountains, slippery steep slopes and dangerous cliffs
The whole environment is very bad. In addition to the sudden heavy rain, it adds great difficulty to the whole assessment process. Many of my companions, when they go up the steep slope, tumble and fall, covered with mud.
I was very careful with an adopted brother I met in the training camp to avoid getting hurt. However, when I passed the cliff, I still couldn't resist the slippery rocks. Finally, my adopted brother fell off the cliff, and I, in order to save him, also went down the cliff.
He was seriously injured and died.
I'm so sad.
However, I met Yun Jinli under the cliff.
He also slipped down the mountain because of the slippery mountain road. His entourage and he suffered a lot of injuries, but they affected their actions. When I saw him, they were sheltering from the rain in the cave to recover.
At that time, I didn't know that he was the second prince who came to recruit soldiers this time. I just saw that he was well-dressed and had extraordinary temperament. I guessed that he must be the son of a rich family.
It's also his destiny to meet me when he is in trouble.
In line with the idea of "saving a life is better than building a seven level putu", although I have noticed that he saw my face flash with consternation and dejection, I didn't pay attention to it. With the help of his entourage, I climbed up the cliff.
Because of saving people, I missed the upgrade assessment.
According to the rules, they have to be removed. They only need to serve for two years in the labor service area stipulated by the court, and then they can go home.
It was a bit of a loss not to be elected.
But when I think of my mother, Mei Hua and my children, my loss is calmed down quickly.
However, just when I was ready to give up, the news suddenly came that I was promoted by the second prince because I saved the life of the second prince. It turned out that the rich son I carried on the cliff that day was the son of the empress, Yun Jinli, the second prince of the northern underworld.
The second prince was very grateful that I saved him. He even found me and asked me if I would like to be his close attendant.
I always thought that the prince's valet was either a palace maid or a eunuch, so I was really scared when I learned that the second prince intended to promote me to be a valet.
I said to Yun Jinli in fear: "the second prince values it, which makes the grass people panic. The grass people's family is getting older and older. There is a good wife and a pair of children. They are all waiting for the grass people to go back. The grass people beg the second prince to let the grass people go."
At the end of my speech, I saw a flash of shock on everyone's face, and Yun Jinli was shocked again. I knew that I had misunderstood.
Later, I learned that I had misunderstood.
Yun Jinli burst out laughing on the spot, which made him burst into tears;
And I, also embarrassed, want to have a crack in front of me, let me drill in a lot.
But later Yun Jinli told me.
It is said that his salary can at least catch up with the county magistrate in our county.
With money, they can have a good life for their mother, Meihua and their children, and they can not be bullied by Cen Jin's family. Even, they can have some money to take back to help the family members of their brother-in-law. So after I got all the details, I went to work for the second prince.
At first, the second prince was very nice.
He was very polite to me in both speech and behavior. He even took money to be responsible for the comfort and treatment of the injured in this assessment. My adopted brother's family also received fifty liang of pension. In the past, there was no such thing.
Therefore, I think the second prince is a good man and worth playing for.
He's more important to me, no need to say.
Not only did I find someone to teach me martial arts, but also made me a lot of luxurious clothes that didn't match my status as a close attendant. I also found someone to give me noble etiquette, and even taught me to read and write, as if to cultivate me as a pillar.
I can read;
Also can write;
It's just that the writing is not so good. It's easy to learn.
But Yun Jinli is very strict with me. He specially asked me to copy the calligraphy so that I could learn to look like
There are many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many more.
I thought that he was really grateful for my help, so I took these unusual actions of him in mind. But as time went by, I obviously felt the abnormality of things.
Even, I had a bad feeling in my mind.
Because I can feel from his various demands on my behavior that what he asked me to do was deliberately imitating someone I had never met.
I once offered such doubts, but he didn't answer them directly. He just said that if I do well, I will get a good salary and even a special reward.
The truth is what he said.
After his recruitment, I went back to Shengjing with him. Before returning to Shengjing, he specially ordered Yunyu to give my mother and meihua a hundred taels of silver, so that they could live a stable life.
One hundred Liang is enough for my mother and Mei Hua to live for several years.
With this money, I followed him to Shengjing with ease.
The prosperity of Shengjing is beyond my imagination. Yun Jinli takes a fancy to me. He not only takes me in and out of his industries, but also teaches me how to run a business. Sometimes he even tells me how to run a country.
Although I often know a little about what he said, he never tired of it.
In order to appreciate his cultivation and care for my mother and wife, I studied very hard and made rapid progress. Gradually, I integrated into the society of Shengjing.
On weekdays, in addition to studying, I often miss my mother and children. Even I often think of my mother's explanation before I leave, which gives me the opportunity to look for my own parents.
At first, I didn't have much affection for my biological parents.
However, when a person is away from home, when he is missing his family, his emotion is always very fragile. Gradually, the idea of looking for his biological parents sprouts in my heart. I don't want to cling to the powerful, but just want to know who my parents are.
While studying, I inquired about my biological parents.
More than half a year later, my parents still got nothing. However, Yun Jinli told me that I had finished the task very well. For this reason, he was very happy.
Even, on a wonderful day, he took me to the palace and met his biological mother, the empress of our northern underworld.
It was a young woman surrounded by Jin Xiufeng and Zhu Cui. She looked only in her thirties, even younger than her sister-in-law.
Yun Jinli's age is not much different from mine, but my mother is very different from his mother, just like a mother-in-law's daughter-in-law.
The queen is beautiful;
It is worthy of being the mother of a country with grace and dignity.
The empress's momentum is very strong. Even after the second prince's strict training for more than half a year, I can't help but feel a little nervous when I face her.
Not only because she never gave me a half smile, but also because she looked at me with hatred except for the shock at first sight.
Yes, it's hate.
Thick to the bone.
I don't understand, but I didn't ask much, but I left an eye in my heart.
On the afternoon of the day when I entered the palace, something happened in the imperial garden that surprised me.
The queen left the second prince to talk. I was inconvenient to be there, so the second prince asked me to wait in the garden first. When I was in the garden, I accidentally ran into a little maid in the Queen's palace. After the little maid left, I found that there was a money bag on the ground.
It contained ten taels of silver.
Ten liang of silver is the monthly money of a maid in waiting.
I guess that the money bag must have been dropped by the little maid before. In line with the principle of doing good, I took the money bag and chased the little maid.
However, after chasing a section of road, I not only did not see the little maid in waiting, but also found that I was lost!
This is a very serious thing.
Since I followed the second prince, the second prince had strict requirements on my whereabouts, and never let me run around, let alone lost my way in the palace.
Just when I felt a little flustered, another maid in waiting came. I subconsciously wanted to avoid it, so I turned around and left.
But I didn't expect that the maid in waiting to catch up with me. After the ceremony, she said anxiously: "Ninth prince, why are you here? The Empress Dowager said that she would go to the Jinghong hall to see you. Now she's out of Shoukang palace. Let's go back first. "
I was stunned for a moment.
I realized that the little maid in waiting recognized the wrong person.
However, I dare not think about it or ask more.
Just an idea, replied: "I just went to the queen please ANN, left things there, you go with me to get, then go back, in time."
After returning to the Queen's Fengyi palace, I found an excuse to support the little maids.
In this way, I passed this pass without danger. The queen, the second prince, and even the little maids did not find anything unusual. However, the words and actions of the little maids made me wonder: am I really similar to the ninth prince? Otherwise, how can I not even recognize the people around me?
Later days.
I went back to the second prince's residence and continued to live the life of learning, imitating and looking for my parents. Occasionally, like Yun Yu, who is responsible for taking care of my family, I inquired about my mother, wife, children and the situation at home.
Yunyu said: "Cen Luofeng, don't worry. The master told me that he should take good care of your family and not let you worry about the future. How can I deceive you and not be good to your family? Just follow the master and do everything for him. "
He also told me that everything was fine at home, that the child was more than half a year old, and that he was lively, lovely and healthy. He asked me to do well for the second prince and repay him for his cultivation.
I do think so.
Another turning point in my life began when the ninth Prince Yun Jincheng was in charge of western Xinjiang.
That day, the second prince found me.
He said: "now, CEN Luofeng, you have been with us for nearly a year. Your progress in these days is in our eyes. We have always been strict with you, but we don't know whether this strictness has any effect. Now, there is a good opportunity to test it. Are you willing or not?"
I'd love to.
After getting my affirmative answer, Yun Jinli promoted me to be the Deputy General of his vanguard camp.
He said: "now Xiling and I have a bad relationship in Beiming. The ninth Prince is ordered to fight xiheguan. It is well known that our father's son is weak, but we only care about the ninth younger brother. Now that the ninth younger brother is in trouble, we can't sit back and watch him. We are going to send reinforcements to support him. Cen Luofeng, we think this is a very good opportunity for you, Is it feasible to order you as the Deputy General of the vanguard camp to support the ninth prince
Of course, I have no opinion.
Then, I was incorporated into the vanguard camp under the second prince and became a deputy general. Three days later, I went to the western Xinjiang with the army.
However, before leaving, the second prince's explanation was a little strange.
He said: "the ninth younger brother is lonely and arrogant. Because he is favored by his father and supported by the empress dowager, he doesn't like other people's help. Cen Luofeng, since you are in Xijiang, where the palace ordered you to go, you will do your best to protect him. It's best to win his trust, but don't tell him that you are my man."
I don't understand the entanglement;
But as a soldier, I know it's my duty to obey the Lord's orders.
