Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 39: A donkey on horseback?
Prince Wei's Mansion on Niuxing Street, Kaifeng.
"When Military Officer Luo tried Wang Jixun, he was so impressive. With a bang of the gavel, he sorted out all of Wang Jixun's crimes one by one. Even a fierce man like Wang Jixun had to plead guilty in court. He was so impressive..."
The little girl's eyes were shining and her voice was full of admiration.
Fu Qing'er lazily leaned on the couch, listening to the maid Feng Zhu talking about how Luo Youdu solved the case. She couldn't help but scolded, "Looking at your amorous look, I might as well give you to him."
"Okay!" Feng Zhu agreed with a smile, seemingly without any shame, and said: "General Luo is really different from the people we met in Daming Prefecture. They are either vulgar, foul-mouthed, and would chop or kill, or spineless scholars. General Luo was not afraid of a beast like Wang Jixun, and he executed him according to the law despite all kinds of pressure. It's amazing..."
A strange light flashed in Fu Qing'er's eyes, just as Feng Zhu said.
Her father, Fu Yanqing, was born in a military family, a chivalrous man who was generous and righteous. As the descendant of the famous general Fu Cunshen, Fu Yanqing was highly regarded by Jin Wang Li Cunxu since he was a child and was taken in as a close follower. During the Xingjiao Gate Incident, Fu Yanqing led more than ten people to fight against 2,000 enemies, showing unparalleled bravery.
After Li Cunxu's defeat, Fu Yanqing surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty and followed Wang Yan to capture Wangdu and defeat the Khitan. He was awarded the title of Governor of Qingzhou and subdued the Dangxiang.
In the Battle of Tieqiu, Fu Yanqing led a hundred cavalrymen to charge into the Khitan army of ten thousand cavalrymen, rescued Gao Xingzhou, the commander of the northern camp that was besieged by tens of thousands of Khitan cavalrymen, and forced the Khitan cavalrymen to retreat.
In the Battle of Baituanwei Village in Yangcheng, the Liao army cut off the Jin army's food supply. This was the same situation as Ma Su, but Fu Yanqing directly led 10,000 cavalrymen to charge into the enemy camp in the absence of water and food, killing the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, who fled alone despite having an absolute advantage.
Fu Yanqing served in four dynasties and experienced almost all major wars. He won every battle and rarely lost.
But looking at Fu Yanqing's battle record, it can be seen that he is not good at strategy, nor does he use any advanced tactics. Instead, he simplifies the complex and breaks all methods with one force.
This is inseparable from his generous, humble and courteous character.
Fu Yanqing was never stingy with money and was able to get along well with all the soldiers, so much so that all the soldiers were willing to die for him.
No matter how many people there are on their side, no matter how many people there are on the other side, as long as Fu Yanqing stands in front of the formation, even if facing an enemy that is ten or a hundred times their number, Fu Yanqing and his soldiers will dare to charge and fight, regardless of casualties.
Over time, Fu Yanqing gathered around him a group of brave and courageous warriors who despised life and death, the elite among the elite.
These elite troops are fierce and brave, and thus have developed a ruffian character that disregards everything.
There were countless brave soldiers and generals during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
But if we have to rank them, Fu Yanqing, the number one warlord of the Great Zhou, and his powerful generals and soldiers would rank at the top.
Fu Qing'er grew up in such an environment. The uncles and elders around her were all rough men who kept saying "Dad and Mom".
Occasionally, there would be some tough-minded literati, some of whom were assimilated, some of whom were softened, some of whom were demoted, and more of them were chopped off by Fu Yanqing, or stabbed by someone unknown and ended up in the stinking ditch of Daming Prefecture.
Fu Qing'er didn't feel it when she was little, but as she got older, the girl's delicate mind changed. She felt that the uncles and elders around her were too rude, and even felt a little disgusted when her father cursed.
When she arrived in Kaifeng Bian Jing, the person Fu Qing'er heard the most about was Luo Youdu.
It was a miracle in Daming Prefecture that a scholar could thrive in Bian Jing.
All these things successfully attracted Fu Qing'er's attention.
Now Luo Youdu has single-handedly put the famous Wang Santie into prison, and despite all kinds of pressure, sentenced him to be paraded through the streets and beheaded, which is truly impressive.
Fu Qing'er suddenly thought of something and took out a letter of recommendation from the table beside her. Her father's words before he left rang in her mind:
"Dad has seen many amazing people in his life. The more talented they are, the more likely they are to be the target of public criticism. And when they become famous at a young age, they become arrogant. Being at the center of a storm, but not knowing how to advance or retreat, they will die in a proper way. From ancient times to the present, how many amazing people have been able to rise smoothly? Most of them died on the way to growth. On the contrary, those who are wise but appear foolish, and those who achieve great things late in life, often accumulate enough experience to influence the world. Luo Youdu was able to withstand the temptation of this old man and stick to the bottom line. He is indeed extraordinary. He is worthy of Dad's recommendation, but you should not submit it too early. Just reject him like this? Dad doesn't care about his face? Doesn't he know what it means to have Dad to support him? You have to leave him alone and let him regret it for a while."
"whee!"
Fu Qing'er smiled softly and whispered, "Dad, it's probably going to be hard to get back your face. I didn't expect that even Uncle Chongjin would look at him differently. It's really unexpected."
Just at this moment, news came from outside that Luo Youdu wanted to see him.
Fu Qing'er was startled, but she understood the other party's intention. Her beloved horse was still in his hands. She glanced at Feng Zhu who was at a loss and said jokingly, "How is it? Your sweetheart is here? Do you want to receive him in person?"
Feng Zhu was just good at talking, but when it came to the battle, she was as cowardly as an old dog and cried out, "Second Madam, please spare me. I will follow you for the rest of my life, so I have no other thoughts."
“Hehehe!”
Fu Qing'er snorted twice in mockery, and without being summoned, she strode out of the house.
Feng Zhu hesitated for a moment, then trotted after him.
When Luo Youdu saw Fu Qing'er again, she was still the same as when they first met, without any extra accessories, just a blue headscarf to tie her black hair behind her. She was not as delicate as an ordinary woman, and she walked briskly and quickly, so that her long black hair fluttered behind her.
Clean and decisive, heroic and dashing.
"Meet Madam Fu Er!"
Fu Qing'er clasped her fists and returned the greeting, saying, "General Luo's name has become well-known recently..."
Luo Youdu said sincerely, "If it weren't for Madam Fu's help, I might not be able to do anything to Wang Jixun. I came here today to return the horse and thank Madam Fu for lending me the horse again."
Fu Qing'er took a few steps forward and reached out to touch BMW's neck.
The precious horse rubbed Fu Qing'er's cheek with its thick neck.
At that moment, an idea came to Luo Youdu's mind: being a horse would be pretty good.
Fu Qing'er waved her hand and asked Feng Zhu behind her to lead the horse away.
Feng Zhu glanced at Luo Youdu shyly, took the reins and wanted to lead the horse away.
Unexpectedly, the precious horse sneezed and raised its head high, unwilling to leave.
Fu Qing'er looked surprised.
Luo Youdu also looked puzzled.
Fu Qing'er sent Feng Zhu away, and leaped onto the horse's back. She waved her hand and patted the horse's butt, but the horse raised its two hooves in resistance and refused to move.
Fu Qing'er asked angrily, "What did you do to Bao'er?"
Luo Youdu looked innocent, and his heart was moved. He secretly exclaimed: "Could it be that it got on my old donkey?"
