Chapter 382 – Another Promotion

Just when he thought he would die just like that, Lord Xu saved him.

At that time, he was just the most ordinary junior soldier, while the Duke of State was the camp’s commander-in-chief, a status disparity.

However, after seeing him punished, the Duke of State asked the soldiers the reason for his punishment, and after learning that he was punished because he disobeyed orders and delayed the mission process during yesterday’s operation, the Duke of State had him released.

The Duke of State not only saved him, but also took him to the tent of the Lord Commander and invited him to drink.

The Duke of State spoke to him quite a bit that day.

He said: look at you by the scorching sun but face does not change color, iron bone strong, is a man, if because of this mistake on the death is too bad, your life should be left on the battlefield, protect the family and defend the country and use.

He said: Whether in the barracks, in the imperial court or in the homes of ordinary people, evil will always exist, and the important thing is not how to avoid evil, but how to guard the goodness in one’s heart.

He said: you and I are actually the same, although the identity is currently different, but you and I are doing nothing big or small, are spelled out their only one life, to protect the family and the country. The reason why we can hold on to the sword in their own hands, because we have a belief in our hearts, behind us is our folks, is the old and weak women and children, we fell, they will also fall.

……

On that day, the fledgling he spent the whole time staggeringly looking at the State Duke who was admired by ten thousand people, watching him drink freely and laugh loudly, revealing a side that he had never seen before in his normal life.

It turns out that the usually so majestic Duke of State, in private, is such a bold and spontaneous person.

It turned out that a great hero like that was also as easy-going as an ordinary old man.

It was the only close encounter he had with the Duke of State, and while it may not have been a big deal to the Duke, it had a far-reaching impact on him.

The words that Zheng Zhongye said when he caught Zheng Zhongye, Wei Mingting was not without feeling, but he had figured it out a long time ago, exactly what the Duke of State had taught him.

Later, after the State Duke was defeated and lost three cities in the northeast, he was impeached for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and deliberately leaking secrets of the defeat.

He was convinced that it was a slander, and that a man like that would never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and sell out his country.

However, the Duke of State didn’t make it back to the capital alive to defend himself, he died on the way back to the capital ……

Then the Xu Guo Gongfu was overthrown, and those who were close to the Xu Guo Gongfu died and were demoted ……

Wei Mingting snapped back from his memories, and at the moment, the old wine bag in his hand was the same bag that the Duke of State had invited him to drink in the first place.

And then Wei Mingting got up and took out another altar of wine from inside the cabinet behind him, it was Thyme.

He poured Thyme’s wine into the cowhide bag, then tilted his head back and drank.

Half a jug of wine down, his eyes drifted back to the memory of that wintry night when the man handed the swaddled child into his hands.

“You can remember, once this matter is revealed, you are committing the cardinal sin of plagiarizing and exterminating your family.” The man said.

He looked at the child and after some hesitation chose to take it.

“There is a favor I have to return.” He said to the man.

Wei Mingting closed his eyes, Jin Yi that child ah ……

So many years have gone by …… Some things still go that way ……

###

On the following day, the imperial decree came down, Wei Mingting was officially promoted to be the guardian of the anti-Japanese army of Taizhou Prefecture, and was awarded the title of General of Wude, with the fifth rank.

It was also rewarded with a number of gold and silver artifacts.

Wei Mingting, who received the decree, did not show much joy on his face.

In this regard, the palace staff who came to deliver the decree also understood, after all, Lord Wei had only just experienced the pain of losing his son, and was naturally not happy at the moment.

Only this decree was approved ten days ago, but only today was sent to Taizhou House by the special person assigned by the court.

After consoling Wei Mingting for a few moments and expressing congratulations, the courtier left the school captain’s residence for the post.

The good news of Wei Mingting’s promotion quickly reached the backyard, and the house was filled with joy.

Before just temporarily, only this decree came down, Wei Mingting this official position is considered to be a real fixed.

To say that this Zheng Zhongye bad is really bad, but it is also his badness that gave Wei Mingting such a good opportunity.

Otherwise, I don’t know how many more years it will take for Wei Mingting to get such a promotion and sit in this guard position.

Yun immediately ran to burn incense in front of the ancestral tablets and bowed to thank the blessings of the ancestors.

Immediately afterward, he instructed his subordinates, “Do not show too much joy in front of the master, Jin Yi has just left, the master’s mood has not yet calmed down, it is not appropriate to overly celebrate this matter.”

Yun did understand Wei Mingting and knew that he viewed his family as more important than his official position, so he must not be overly happy at this moment.

Inside Wang Mei Yuan, Wei Qingwan had also heard the news.

Unable to help it, a look of great joy also appeared on his face.

From now on, the Captain’s House will no longer be the Captain’s House, but will be renamed the General’s House.

The step from lieutenant to general is one that many people don’t cross in a lifetime.

At the same time, this also meant that her identity as the Miss Wei family followed suit and changed drastically.

The first thing that came to Wei Qingwan’s mind was that the status gap between her and Duke Qi had become smaller, and Duke Qi’s resistance to marrying her as his wife would be much less as a result.

“Miss, this is really great!” Cui He was happy for Wei Qing Wan while also happy for herself.

“Uh-huh.” Wei Qingwan’s face was overflowing with anticipation and longing.

“Now we just need to wait for the master to forgive miss, and then take miss back to the house, and everything will go in a good direction!” Cui He added.

“Yeah.” Wei Qingwan thought so as well.

As long as Wei Qingruo stops making trouble from it, the day she returns to the house won’t be very far away, and then she’ll be able to stay with Duke Qi for a long time ……

Thinking of Qi Zhen, Wei Qingwan couldn’t help but have a happy, delicate smile appear on her face.

As long as she could be with Eunuch Qi, she wouldn’t be afraid to back down no matter if it was Wei Qingruo or something else that stopped her.

Inside Listening Pine Court.

The first thing that came to Wei Ruo’s mind when she heard about Wei Mingting’s promotion was Xu Zhengyong’s situation.

Wei Mingting’s official appointment came down, so Xiaoyong should be about right.

It’s just that I don’t know if Brother Yong can sit in the position of deputy guard so smoothly anymore, Wei Mingting’s promotion to guard is almost predictable because there’s no better candidate than him.

But it’s still a bit difficult for Isamu to go up three levels in a row.

“Meimei, let’s go to the Four Treasures.” Wei Ruo said to Xiu Mei.

“Like Miss, I can’t wait to find out about Isamu’s promotion.” Xiu Mei said.

x Wei Ruo said, “No matter how many levels Brother Xiao Yong has been promoted to, it’s something to be happy about, let’s all give Brother Xiao Yong a good celebration.”

Xiu Mei nodded heavily, “Right! All happy!”

The master and servant had the same idea, and after a quick cleanup, they went out the door.
