Although the households of the Tianxia Manor are relatively scattered, children will always play on the streets on weekdays, and any horse entering the Tianxia Manor must slow down before passing the torii.

After a distance, Leng Jing jumped off the horse and ran in front of his father.

"Dad!"

Leng Feng smiled and reached out and patted his son's shoulder: "Yes, strong, it seems that you have not slackened over the years." ”

Leng Jing smiled: "Actually, it's just to follow those soldiers on the border to guard together, it's just freezing, it's not a big deal." ”

Leng Feng pouted: "Pretend, you're just fine, it's almost the same if you lied to your mother, isn't it looking for a fight to lie to you?" ”

Over the years, Leng Feng has been paying attention to his son's affairs, including Leng Jing's record of breaking through thousands of enemies.

In Datang, Li Shimin, Xi Junmai and others have a record of breaking through thousands of enemies with a hundred horses. It's just that these achievements are more or less a bit of a boast. And Leng Jing really managed to fight thousands of people with hundreds of people, and chased for dozens of miles.

Although he relied on the power of gunpowder weapons, this record was not bad.

"Let's go, go home, you're back just in time, and your sister will be married in a while. Now that you're an adult, it's time to think about your life events. ”

Leng Jing took over his little sister and said to his father: "Dad, these people behind me are all brothers who were born and died together, and they happen to be transferred to Zuo Wuwei for training, I want them to live in our house during this time, do you think it's okay?" ”

Leng Feng looked at the sergeants and couldn't help but glance up.

Zuo Wuwei's intensive training was just a disguise, and his real intention was to once again select the outstanding soldiers of the whole army and form the Dragon Tooth Guard by them. Since these soldiers can be selected, it shows that they are extremely outstanding on the Tibetan border.

When the soldiers saw the Protector's gaze, they knelt down on one knee: "I've seen the Protector!" ”

The sonorous sound is also full of surprises.

On the way back, when they heard Leng Jing say that his father was actually the Protector, they thought that Leng Jing was bragging, a guy who mixed up from a small soldier to a captain, how could Dad be the most famous Protector in the military?

And now that they saw Leng Feng, they were completely convinced by Leng Jing.

"Get up, since you're Leng Jing's friend, you don't have to be so restrained, let's go, go home and rest."

Only then did a few soldiers stand up and lead their horses into Zhuangzi behind Leng Feng.

Leng Jing's return is a great joy for the Leng family, Liu Shuwen has often complained about Leng Feng since Leng Jing went out to practice, and now that her son is back, she can't cry or laugh when she asks for warmth.

Leng Yuewu is about to get married, and her younger brother can go home before getting married, she is also very moved, and she can't help but give Leng Jing vegetables again and again when she eats. Love me

After eating and washing, Leng Jing did not go back to rest, but came to Leng Feng's study.

And Leng Feng is also waiting for him here very tacitly.

This is a common practice between father and son, after what has happened, Leng Feng will ask Leng Jing to sum up his experience, and this experience is the same.

A person's life is to sum up experience and find their own way of survival after success and failure.

After sitting down, Leng Feng smiled and said, "This time is different from the past, it was you who asked to go out to practice." Besides, this time you have sent yourself to the real battlefield, and this experience should be more rewarding than the test I arranged for you. ”

Leng Jing nodded: "When I first went out, to be honest, I was very excited. Although you don't have much control over me, I still want to fight on my own. However, before I arrived at the Tibetan border, I began to retreat, wanting to give up and come back to enjoy the blessings. You often say that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and I have thoroughly experienced it...."

After talking about his experience in the past few years, Leng Jing concluded: "If you want to talk about what you have gained, you may really feel that you are living on your own for the first time." On the battlefield, the enemy will not consider whether you are the son of the protector of the country, and only think about hacking you to death, and I can only rely on my own strength to try to live. ”

Leng Feng nodded with satisfaction, in fact, some of the people in the shadow guard have been secretly watching Leng Jing, from their reports, Leng Feng knew that Leng Jing did not brag, every time the Tubo people tempted, Leng Jing was a real soldier to fight.

From the first killing, vomiting after going off the battlefield, to not being discouraged in a desperate situation, with a team of 100 people to turn defeat into victory, Leng Jing has really grown. The most rare thing is that Leng Jing didn't use the support of the shadow guard in the dark once, and completely insisted on relying on himself.

"Well, since you have gained, it means that your experience is not useless. From tomorrow onwards, I will leave all the affairs of the family to you. Although it is a bit of a trick to directly put the power of a family on your shoulders, you are the eldest son, and you will always have to bear this. ”

Unlike in the past, Leng Jing did not hesitate and said directly: "Don't worry, Dad!" ”

Leng Feng smiled with satisfaction, so decisive, it seems that Leng Jing's biggest gain from this experience is actually confidence.

After the guarantee, Leng Jing asked, "Dad, I have a question for you." ”

Leng Feng poured a cup of tea for his son and himself, and then motioned for him to ask.

"Although the epidemic of the Tibetan people makes people dizzy, it is not that they can't adapt to it, why don't we Datang attack it, but instead strengthen business and trade with them regardless of previous suspicions, and send grain to the plateau on a large scale? It is impossible for our officials of the Tang Dynasty to forget the hatred of the whole world when they attacked the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for them to be stupid enough to be an enemy, so I want to know the reason. ”

Leng Feng smiled: "You're right, it's impossible for our Datang officials to forget hatred, and it's impossible for them to be enemies." Attacking the plateau is actually very simple, as long as we train a group of soldiers who can resist the gas epidemic, coupled with our invincible gunpowder weapons of the Tang Dynasty, it is only a matter of time before the plateau is bulldozed. But what is the use of capturing the plateau?

Although there are some mineral deposits on the plateau, for the current Datang, these mineral deposits are not yet the time for mining, and what the people urgently need is actually land, land that can be planted. And what about the plateau? Except for planting barley and pasture, it is not easy to grow anything. So, it's not that the plateau can't be beaten, but it's not worth fighting.

As for what you said about the Central Plains importing a large amount of grain into the plateau trade, if you think about it yourself and think about the purpose as badly as possible, you may have guessed it. ”

"Thinking badly?"

Leng Jing thought hard, and after a long time, he said tentatively: "Could it be that you want to 'raise' the plateau people to get used to it, so that they can completely rely on our Datang?" ”
