Chapter 1359 Hong Qingyun

In the game world, when it was getting dark, just when Wu Fan left the game world and returned to the real world, a well-equipped and powerful army appeared at the gate of Yangyu Pass in Heishui Kingdom.

"Second Prince, Yangyu Pass is ahead." A general wearing full armor and a cloak pointed to Yangyu Pass not far away and said to a young man next to him with an unusually respectful attitude.

"Of course I know this is Yangyu Pass. General Hong Qing, have you forgotten that this prince has been here before, led a team from here to Nanping Kingdom, and captured the entire royal family of Nanping Kingdom in one fell swoop?" The young man said with pride.

This young man was Yelu Hongfei, the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom. The army that had just arrived at Yangyu Pass, the border between Heishui Kingdom and Nanping Kingdom, was from Shuiyue Kingdom.

Since Yelu Hongfei led his troops to set out, he led his team straight to Yangyu Pass. On the way, he passed Wu Fan who was rushing to Shuiyue Country, but neither of them discovered each other's identity.

Not only did Wu Fan arrive in Shuiyue Country, but Yelu Hongfei's team also arrived in Heishui Country. However, his destination was Yangyu Pass, which was not at the border with Shuiyue Country. Therefore, even if he arrived in Heishui Country, Yelu Hongfei had not yet reached his destination, and the team continued to move forward.

The officials in the cities along the way learned that the second prince of Shuiyue Country led his army to pass by, and they all invited him, hoping that Yelu Hongfei could stay for a short time and let them treat him to a banquet.

However, Yelu Hongfei was eager to make achievements, so he had no intention of drinking and chatting with these people. During the process of advancing, the team did not stay at all except for the necessary rest. Now, they finally arrived at the gate of Yangyu Pass.

"Of course I haven't forgotten." The middle-aged general next to Yelu Hongfei, or General Hong Qing in Yelu Hongfei's mouth, said: "The Second Prince's feat of capturing the entire royal family of Nanping Kingdom in one fell swoop has long been spread throughout the army. The soldiers in the army all regard His Highness as an idol and hope to be able to make great achievements on the battlefield and serve the court like His Highness."

This General Hong Qing, whose full name is Hong Qingyun, is a well-known general in Shuiyue Kingdom. He has rich combat experience and outstanding command ability. His Shanhu Battalion, which is the army following him and Yelu Hongfei at this time, is a famous strong army in Shuiyue Kingdom. The whole army has a total of 35,000 people, all of whom are brave and good at fighting. They are proficient in infantry combat and horseback archery. They have repeatedly made great achievements on the battlefield.

With Hong Qingyun's ability and the merits of the Shanhu Camp on the battlefield, Hong Qingyun is fully qualified for a higher position and has a greater status. However, he is still only a mid-level general, and is not considered a high-level general in the military system of Shuiyue Country.

The reason for this is related to Hong Qingyun's background. Although Hong Qingyun is now a general in the army, he was actually born in a scholarly family in Shuiyue Country. His family has a certain reputation in the entire Shuiyue Country.

Originally, with such a family background, Hong Qingyun should have taken the path of imperial examinations instead of joining the army to fight. Even if he joined the army to fight, with such a background, coupled with his ability and merits, he should have risen to a high position long ago.

However, his current situation is not like that, and the reason is precisely because of his background.

Although Hong Qingyun was born into a noble family, he was only a concubine, the result of his father's drunken and impulsive mistake. His mother was just an ordinary maid in the Hong Qing family.

It was because of her mother's identity and the way he came into this world that he was discriminated against and ridiculed in the family since he was a child. His father's wife did not even give him the opportunity to read and learn, but arranged for him to work as a servant.

Hong Qingyun's father was not unaware of this situation, but he did not help his son. In fact, every time he saw his son, he was disgusted without any disguise. He felt that every time he saw Hong Qingyun, it was as if someone was reminding him of the mistakes he had made and slapping him in the face one by one.

You know, their Hongqing family is a famous family of scholars, and he is a famous scholar in the local area. However, after getting drunk, he did such a disrespectful and immoral thing. It was a huge blow to his reputation, and it also made him a topic of conversation and joke for some people in the circle for a long time.

Therefore, Hong Qingyun's father disliked his son very much, and would not help him. Therefore, although Hong Qingyun was the blood of the Hongqing family, his status in the family was just like that of an ordinary servant, so naturally he had no chance to take the imperial examination.

However, Hong Qingyun was obviously not a person who was willing to succumb to fate. After realizing that it was impossible to change his fate if he stayed in the family, Hong Qingyun chose to run away from home. In order to stand out and no longer be looked down upon, he chose to join the army, wanting to make merit on the battlefield and change his fate with merit.

His father was very happy with Hong Qingyun's choice. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. If he couldn't see Hong Qingyun, he would feel much better. Therefore, after Hong Qingyun ran away from home and joined the army without authorization, his father did not stop him, let alone bring him back.

Hong Qingyun was also very motivated. After joining the army, he trained hard, fought bravely, and made meritorious contributions. He also went from a small soldier to a general. He thought that he had made progress and his father would look at him differently.

However, the fact is just the opposite. After his father knew that he was being promoted, he felt not joy, but anger and panic. The higher Hong Qingyun's position, the more people knew him. Then, Hong Qingyun's background would be known by more people, and the mistakes he made in the past would become a joke and topic of conversation in the eyes of more people.

He spent a lot of effort to gradually restore his reputation, and the impact of the incident in the past gradually disappeared. He would never allow this matter to be mentioned again and paid attention to by more people.

What's more, the fact that civil and military officials look down on each other is not only in Yanfeng Country, but also in Shuiyue Country. Hong Qingyun's father also looks down on warriors. If people knew that their Hong Qing family actually had a warrior general, it would be a loss of face for their family, and even make their family a laughing stock in the entire circle of scholars.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Hong Qingyun's father did not look at his son differently after knowing his son's situation. Instead, he used various relationships and connections to suppress him and prevent Hong Qingyun from being promoted.
