Su Qingtan followed Ling Qinglan to run around in the past two days. He was very busy. When he was free, he knew that Su Li became the legendary lecturer of the Affiliated School.
And Qi Xianqing … used to be the royal preceptor!
Even though Su Qingtan had tried his best to guess the identity of Qi Xianqing, he was still shocked by the word "royal preceptor". At the same time, he was happy for Su Li. With the protection of the identity of the lecturer of the Affiliated School, he didn't need to worry that his Second Sister would be bullied after he left Yunjing.
"There is nothing to do today. You can go back and prepare."
After changing his official uniform, Su Qingtan came to the Supreme Judiciary. He found that Ling Qinglan wore casual clothes and smiled lightly.
"Prepare for what?" Su Qingtan was confused.
"I forgot to tell you that today is the day that General Ling Ping returns to the imperial court. General Ling repelled the army of the Nanjiang Country and made great achievements. The emperor is going to hold a banquet for him tonight. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know Lord Chen Gong. Don't miss it. "
Ling Qinglan reminded him carefully. He knew that the person Su Qingtan admired was the cruel official who was incorruptible all his life. So, he deliberately took it out and said, "Tonight, there will be a lot of daughters of noble families. You are old enough to get married. Why don't you go and have a look?"
Su Qingtan rolled his eyes and thought, "You are four years older than me. Why don't I see you get married and have children?"
However, when he heard that Lord Chen Gong would go, Su Qingtan also wanted to go and have a look. He also asked Su Li to go and see the world. If Su Li went to that occasion with her current identity, she would not be looked down upon.
Seeing Ling Qinglan humming an unknown tune and leaving, Su Qingtan felt strange. It was obvious that Young General Ling Ping won the war. Why was Ling Qinglan so happy as if he won the war? He really didn't understand.
Near noon, the returning troops finally appeared at the gate of the city. Ling Ping, who was wearing armor, was on the horse in the front. He looked cold and solemn. As soon as he entered the city, people in Yunjing City cheered enthusiastically!
"General Ling, welcome back with victory!"
"General Ling!"
"General Ling …"
The enthusiastic people came to the ground one after another. Their cheers were like waves. The soldiers who entered the city were excited and their eyes were wet. It seemed that their sweat and blood on the battlefield were answered.
Ling Ping was expressionless, and his heart was also as calm as water, even a little angry.
Ever since he had taken command of the army, he had always been victorious and had never suffered a defeat. Some people even said that he was the reincarnation of his grandfather, a natural-born god of war!
But only he himself knew that every time he won, he would win in an inexplicable manner. Sometimes, even though he had clearly lost, he would wake up the next day to find that the enemy was suddenly unable to withstand a single blow.
It was the same this time.
He was clearly no match for the army of Nanjiang Country because the difference in number was too big. But on the second day, the enemy was poisoned and had no strength. They were defeated by the small army led by him and had to retreat.
It was fine if it happened once or twice, but he had been in the army for several years and fought no less than dozens of battles. Every time, he felt as if he was being helped by God. This made him understand that there was an extremely powerful unknown force secretly helping him.
But now, the Ling Family was alone. They had no allies, and their relationship with the Wu Family was like fire and water. He had been ambushed many times in the army, all by the hands of the Wu Family. In the end, he had been rescued, but he had never seen the face of the person who had saved him. He didn't even know if the person was a man or a woman.
This matter had always been a secret in Ling Ping's heart. He didn't even tell his mother and grandmother.
"Madam, Old Madam! Second Master is back!! "
"Second Master is back!"
When he was thinking, Ling Ping's horse had stopped at the gate of the Ling House. At this moment, the Ling House was decorated with lanterns and streamers. When the servant waiting in front of the door saw Ling Ping, he immediately shouted with joy and reported inside.
Ling Ping hadn't been home for more than half a year. He couldn't stop the excitement in his eyes. He took off his helmet and threw it to the adjutant. Then he quickly entered the house. After a few steps, he saw his mother walking quickly with the help of his grandmother. Both of them were happy and excited.
"Mother! Grandma! "
Ling Ping shouted. He strode over and knelt down. He said, "I didn't let father and grandfather down. I came back with a great victory!"
"Good boy, get up!"
Mrs. Gu burst into tears and held Ling Ping tightly. Qiu Meng also wiped her tears. There were only two males left in the family, and one was disabled. Ling Ping went to the battlefield. God knew how worried they were!
"Ping, you must be very tired. Go in to take a bath, change clothes and have a rest. Mother and I are here. It's not too late to talk after you have a good rest! "
Qiu Meng wiped the dust on Ling Ping's face. She looked distressed and said, "My poor son. He is only twenty years old, but he has to shoulder the heavy burden of the Ling Family."
"Mother, I am not tired!"
Ling Ping felt the care of his close relatives. It seemed that the tiredness on the road was swept away. He smiled warmly and said, "I haven't entered the imperial palace to meet the emperor! When I come back, I will talk with you about the family. By the way … where is Brother Li? Why didn't I see him? "
Mrs. Gu's face darkened. She hit the ground with her crutch and said, "That little bastard went out with the little fatty of the Tang Family in the morning. I haven't seen him yet. He is getting more and more outrageous! Since you, as his brother, have returned, you should properly discipline him! "
Ling Ping heard the words and smiled. He didn't feel disappointed. He said, "It's good that Brother Li is happy. As long as he doesn't do evil things, I can't blame him. It is a blessing for him to spend his life in peace. "
Mrs. Gu was helpless. The two brothers had a good relationship since childhood. Now Ling Ping grew up and had his own ideas. She couldn't control him.
After taking a bath and changing clothes, Ling Ping changed into official clothes and went to the imperial palace in a sedan chair. He had received the routine rewards many times. He was excited at the beginning, but now he was calm and calm.
The emperor seemed to see that Ling Ping was tired. He laughed and let him go. He only told him to attend the banquet at the waterside pavilion in the south of the city in the evening.
"Ah ah ah … Grandma, be gentle. Your grandson's ears are going to fall off!"
Back to the Ling Mansion, Ling Ping finally heard Ling Li's familiar and exaggerated voice. Seeing that the boy was pulled by his grandma and howled, he couldn't help but laugh. He walked over and said, "Grandma, if you don't let go, Brother Li's ears will fall off."
Mrs. Gu was so angry that she snorted and put down Ling Li. She pointed at him and scolded, "Look at your brother. He went to the brothel at the age of sixteen. He smelled of rouge. Why did the Ling Family have such a little bastard like you? I'm so angry!"
Ling Ping understood that when he entered the imperial palace, grandma specially sent someone to find Ling Li. Finally, she found him in the brothel alley.
"Grandma, don't scold him. I will teach him a lesson!"
Ling Ping pushed the wheelchair and took Ling Li away quickly. Mrs. Gu was so angry that she jumped.
"Ha ha ha ha ha, Second Brother, you didn't see the Top Courtesan of the Hongyan House. She is so beautiful. I will take you to see her later!"
In the yard, Ling Ping saw Ling Xian put down the wine and dishes and stepped back to leave. He was amazed. He didn't expect that the girl became so beautiful after half a year. It was really hard for her to follow his second brother.
Ling Ping straightened Ling Li's hair crown. As before, he knocked on Ling Li's knee and asked softly, "Still no response?"
Ling Li shook his head indifferently and said lazily, "Second Brother, it has been so many years. Don't you find it annoying that you are still doing this?"
Ling Ping's breath trembled slightly. He smiled bitterly and said, "I can't change my old habit. Perhaps your second brother's knocking will really be heard by the heavens and allow you to recover. "
Ling Li's eyes flashed with a vague light, but he said in a flirtatious way, "God has eyes? Why didn't I see it? If it really has eyes, will the Ling Family be like this? "
Ling Ping was speechless and only smiled bitterly.
They were silent for a moment. Ling Ping suddenly said, "I will take you to the banquet in the evening. You are not young anymore. It's time … "
"Don't!"
Ling Li immediately interrupted and said, "It is the blind date arranged by the emperor for you. Why should I take part in it? Besides, I want to be happy for a few years. Let's talk about marrying a wife later! "
"You can see it clearly."
Ling Ping smiled. It was said that his brother was a playboy. Not only his legs were disabled, but also his brain was not good. He often made trouble for the Ling Mansion. Only when he talked and laughed with his Second Brother could he find that his Second Brother was not really a playboy. But he was disabled. It seemed that he had no other choice but to be a playboy.
The Ling Family had been generals for generations. If his Second Brother became a scholar, it was undoubtedly an insult.
"But Second Brother, I heard from Fatty Tang that the girl named Su Li is very beautiful! You must leave him for me, your younger brother. If any other lackeys fancy him, you must let me know! "
Ling Li said and giggled. It seemed that he thought of some extremely beautiful things.
Ling Ping couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "I just came back. You want to make trouble for me? I heard that Su Li has an extraordinary background. Don't be like Wu Xiuxiu. Otherwise, no matter how much I love you, I will never help you this time! "
Ling Li shrank his neck and smiled embarrassedly, "I know, Second Brother. I don't dare to do that. I was really scared at that time. In fact, I didn't intend to touch Wu Xiuxiu. Wu Xiuxiu automatically got into my arms. Alas … I have said this many times. You don't believe me. Forget it. "
Ling Li waved his hand with flagging interest and let Ling Ping leave.
Ling Ping shook his head slightly and left the yard. This silly boy … Of course he believed him. His second brother was not a fool. How could he not know the consequences of insulting Wu Xiuxiu? It was just that his second brother's image of a debauchee was deeply ingrained in people's hearts. He could only suffer in silence.
"In order to deal with the Ling Family, the Wu Family has been doing everything. They can even sacrifice the reputation of their daughter." Ling Ping sneered several times.
Ling Ping sneered several times. The Wu Family would come back tonight. He wanted to see what new tricks they had.
…
In the yard, the smile on Ling Li's face gradually faded. When Ling Xian confirmed that Ling Ping had left, he stood up from the wheelchair and returned to the study.
At this moment, Ling Mo, dressed in black, was sitting quietly in the room. He closed his eyes and breathed faintly. Ling Ping was talking and laughing with Ling Li in the yard and didn't find him.
Noticing that Ling Li came in, Ling Mo opened his eyes and stood up. He respectfully reported, "Qinglan's information is good. I took people to destroy the small stronghold of the Lianshi Cult and seized a large number of Bone Softening Powder. I scattered it to the army of the Nanjiang Country and helped Ling Ping turn defeat into victory."
"Second Brother has doubts in these years. He has been silent all the time. It's really hard for him." Ling Li took Ling Mo's handwritten letter and read it. He couldn't help but laugh, "Qinglan is actually a hands-off shopkeeper. Does he really want to train Su Qingtan as his successor?"
Ling Mo hesitated and asked, "His injury …"
Ling Li snorted and said, "Something must have gone wrong. He still refuses to tell me. He thinks that his life belongs to himself. Is he ready to quit? "
Ling Mo's face tightened and he said, "Master …"
