surnamed Wang

Chapter 91
Wang Gangquan stared at the tombstone sadly for a while, and finally turned into a long breath of foul breath.

He turned around and was about to leave, but at some point, there were two more women behind him, and one of them was holding a baby in her arms.

The two women are no strangers to Wang Bingquan, they are Hong Xing who went out of Beijing with Wang Bingjin that day, and Nian Nu, the maidservant who assassinated him many times.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land should be a happy event, but in the current situation, it is not happy at all.

Nian Nu was the first to recognize Wang Gingquan, and nodded towards him, while Hong Xing stared blankly at the tombstone not far ahead, with a sad expression.

Now Hongxing, how can she still have the slightest grace and beauty when she was the oiran?She was clearly an ordinary woman with fine lines around her eyes and a slightly bloated figure. Now, she even added a middle-aged widow.

Wang Gingquan stepped aside, and after Hongxing saw the inscription clearly, big tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She walked to the grave step by step, knelt down on the ground, and then lay down on the tombstone and began to cry. The baby probably sensed the mother's sadness, and began to cry too.

The sound of the wind carried the cries of the mother and child, drifting into the distance.

……

Before leaving, Wang Gangquan went to Hongxing's residence to have a look, and the conditions were indeed very difficult.

Although the room does not have air leakage on all sides, it is only covered by tiles. The furniture looks like second-hand goods from a scavenger hunt. Even the quilts are covered with thick patches, and the original ones can only be vaguely distinguished. The color should be red.

Hong Xing still hasn't recovered from the grief of Wang Bingquan's death. Wang Bingquan wanted to persuade him, but finally chose to give up. He didn't know what happened between them, and he didn't know how they got through the most difficult period. Life, without the suffering of others, how can we talk about persuasion?
Coming to Nian Nu who was still in a stable mood, Wang Gangquan said softly:

"Wang Bingzhen asked me to help take care of his children before he died, and I agreed. If you have any difficulties in the future, just go to the capital to find me."

Nian Nu just nodded and didn't answer.

"Alas..." Wang Gingquan sighed, and then silently put a stack of bank notes on the only table in the room. This was already his possession, and of course, Liu Luming's possession was also included.

The dynasty’s compensation for the families of fallen soldiers has always been generous. Not only did they receive a large sum of pension at that time, but they could also receive a sum of condolence money from the local yamen every month in the future.So Wang Gangquan is not worried about their future lives, he is more worried about whether they can get over the barrier in his heart.

After all, it is never the hard life that breaks the camel's back, but the straw.

When things were properly arranged, Wang Gingquan and Liu Luming marched towards the capital with a thousand soldiers. The thousand muskets they brought were left in Kaipingwei, and before they left, they taught Gan's army how to use them.

This batch of muskets was originally prepared for the frontier.Yesterday, Kaiping Wei Qianhu saw with his own eyes that only a thousand people wiped out ten thousand enemy troops unscathed, so he naturally accepted these big killers unceremoniously.Before leaving, he even gave Wang Quanquan a few altars of fine wine from his private collection, but Wang Quanquan couldn't resist, so he had to accept it.

Wang Gangquan and the others left in the afternoon. Originally, according to the normal marching speed, a team of thousands of people could reach the capital in the dark the next day, but Liu Luming was restless. city.

So they rested for one night at a place a hundred miles north of the capital, and the group entered the city in a mighty manner the next day.

As it turns out, the wait was worth it.

Liu Luming took the lead to enter the city. As soon as he entered the city, he found that the city was decorated with lights and festoons, and both sides of the street were surrounded by people waiting here.

Although the imperial court was afraid that the people's hearts would be unstable, they deliberately blocked the news, but Kaipingwei was too close, and the news of the war quickly spread among ordinary people. If the city gate had not been blocked in advance, many people might have escaped The city went.

Originally, the common people complained about this, thinking that this time they were doomed.Unexpectedly, just one day later, news of the victory came out again, and some well-informed people even knew the whole story in advance.

The deeds of Liu Luming leading thousands of riders to wipe out the Northern Turkistan Army gradually spread. No one expected that Liu Luming, once known as one of the "double idiots in Beijing", would have such a skill, so the people spontaneously waited in the city. the door.

But from the afternoon to the evening, the soldiers who waited left and right did not see the triumphant return. It was not until the curfew that the people dispersed one after another.

At this moment, Liu Luming can be described as "a horseshoe disease in the spring breeze". I saw him standing on the horse with a blushing face, and he did not forget to wave to the people as he walked. fast.

"By the way, Brother Wang, I always heard rumors that I was a fool in both Beijing and China. Now, do I count as elated?"

While smiling and waving to the crowd, Liu Luming never forgot to chat with Wang Gangquan beside him. He enjoyed this kind of treatment very much, especially the admiration in the eyes of the little daughter-in-law by the side of the road, which made him quite happy.

In order to keep a low profile, Wang Gangquan deliberately put on the previous mask again, and he replied with a smile: "It's not just about raising your eyebrows, it's about slapping the faces of those who look down on you."

Liu Luming laughed even happier when he heard the words, and then he was puzzled again: "By the way, I always hear what they say about Beijing and China being stupid. If there is a chance, I must make friends with another hero in this rumor. After all, he can be as famous as me." , must also be a person with lofty ideals who is underappreciated!"

Wang Gingquan twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't answer. With his eyes closed, he could guess who the other person in the "double idiots" was, and Liu Luming was still in the second place, so he was the main one.

Liu Luming is enjoying it very much now, wishing he could walk back and forth eight times on the main street of the capital. Wang Gingquan is not as interested as the other party. He has seen a lot of life and death in the northwest, and now he feels physically and mentally exhausted, so when Liu Luming made the third circle, he turned around. I bid farewell, and the Jinghu guard team of thousands of people also returned to Beijing Hu's office to report after the first round.

All of a sudden, only Liu Luming, who was wearing a red flower on a tall horse, was left at the scene. The red flower was still worn now. Those who didn't know thought he was married today.

When Liu Luming walked the first lap, the people were sincerely grateful, the second lap was out of respect, and the third lap was already out of politeness.After all, it is already noon now, except for Liu Luming, who is leisurely riding a horse, no one thinks that the sun is something worth enjoying.

When he turned to the fourth lap, the people on the scene couldn't bear it anymore, and they all had the same thought in their hearts: Why is this guy so shameless.

So the crowd began to gradually disperse, and the streets of the capital returned to the old scene: those who sell things sell things, and those who go shopping go shopping.
