Rongzheng...

Can there be a second person with the same name as that person and his hometown?

Xu You forced himself to smile in surprise, "When you go back to the emperor, I have indeed met General Rong several times, but unfortunately I have not had a close relationship."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the location of the military officer, as if he was looking for it.

"Hahaha, there is no need to find Wenyuan. General Pingxi has been guarding the northwest for many years and has not returned to Beijing for many years.

But don't worry, I will announce that he will be back next year, and you two will drink and have fun."

Emperor Ming laughed loudly, signaling Xu You to sit down, then his eyes turned elsewhere and continued to talk to other ministers.

Xu You sat down steadily, but he could no longer hear clearly what the people around him were saying, and there were only six words in his head.

Rong Zheng, General Pingxi.

A palace maid came to pour him wine. The wine fell into the cup, reflecting the light, sparkling, like a dream.

Rong Zheng is still alive, so is he dreaming now? When Rong Zheng comes back next year, his dream will wake up?

Xu You stared at the wine that had not yet calmed down.

No one noticed his changes except Qi Jing sitting on his side.

Qi Jing had never seen his father-in-law be so insane, and this change was only after he heard the emperor mention General Pingxi.

General Pingxi?

Qi Jing lowered his eyes and pondered.

He heard Uncle Pang mention General Pingxi, who was born in the army and was promoted to Qianhu for two years. In the third year, he was in the court to fight with the Hu people.

At that time, the Marquis of Dingxi led his troops and underestimated the enemy and was besieged by the enemy. Only Uncle Pang was left by his side, Rong Zhengshuai came to save the old Marquis and risked his life to rescue the old Marquis. Since then, he was promoted by the Marquis of Dingxi and promoted to general step by step.

Rong Zheng is a powerful general of this dynasty. Qi Jing admired him first and became more and more curious at this time. Could it be that his father-in-law had a friendship with the other party?

After the ceremonies broke up, he followed Xu You quietly.

Next to Xu You was Qi Yan. When he was about to reach the palace gate, Xu You couldn't help calling Qi Yan aside and whispered: "Brother Shouzheng, that General Pingxi, why haven't I heard anyone mention him for so long?"

"He?"

Qi Yan was a little surprised, but explained: "General Pingxi is a loner and there are not many people in the capital who have friendship with him. Besides, he is always guarding him. Unless there are wars on the frontiers, few people will think of him.

Why, you are very familiar with him?"

He grew up in the capital since childhood. Although he was in the same hometown as General Pingxi, he had never spoken.

Xu You smiled casually and said, "Because I am a fellow villager, I'm just curious.

By the way, does General Pingxi have family in Beijing?

If so, I'd better deliver a post."

Qi Yan shook his head: "As far as I know, General Pingxi's parents died early and had no relatives at home. He is still unmarried and only has a general's mansion in the capital.

It’s strange that General Pingxi has a high position and power. Over the years, many powerful people have wanted to marry him. Even the emperor wanted to point him out, but he refused them all."

“Why is this?

I remember he was three years older than me.”

Xu You asked casually, but in fact he already had the answer in his heart.

Qi Yan did not notice Xu You's absent-mindedness, and said as he walked: "It is said that he was engaged since childhood. The other party moved away after he joined the army. There was no news. General Pingxi insisted on being a trustworthy person waiting for the other party to come back, so he is still alone now... Oh, it's raining, Wenyuan, did you come by car or horse?

If you ride a horse, I'll give you a ride?"

Xu You smiled and refused: "Thank you, Brother Shouzheng, it's not heavy, I'll go back by myself..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a person waving to him diagonally. It was the servant at home, and a carriage was parked behind him.

"I think my brother and sister are worried that it is difficult to walk on the night road, so I sent someone to pick you up. Wenyuan, you are so lucky."

Qi Yan patted Xu You on the shoulder jokingly, bowed his goodbye, turned around and walked away, he looked at Qi Jing, wanting to invite his son who was riding a horse to take a car home with him.

But Qi Jing didn't even look at him. Qi Yan sighed silently and left.

Xu You stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the direction where Qi Yan left, as if he was watching, but he was not aware of the gradually increasing rain.

"It's raining heavily, so my uncle should get in the car first."

Qi Jing looked around for a while and couldn't help but remind him.

Xu You came back to his senses and smiled instinctively: "Well, you too..." Halfway through speaking, he saw clearly who was talking to him, and his face changed immediately and left with his sleeves.
