Xiao Yi strode forward, not knowing what he took out of his purse, squatted in front of the boy, and smiled kindly: "Want to eat sesame candy?"
He held a pearl-sized candy in the palm of his hand, exuding a rich sesame-sweet scent that was incredibly appealing to young children.
The boy forgot to cry for a moment, and looked at the old woman inquiringly. The old woman nodded at him, and the boy took the candy.
"Thank you, Lord Jun." The old woman hurriedly thanked Xiao Yi, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't expect this little general to look like a fairy in a painting.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly and said to the old woman, "He's very good."
The old woman with white hair and beard sighed softly: "That's a hard worker. His father and mother are gone, and the two of us are left to depend on each other..." The old woman's eyes were a little sour as she said that. It was for the sake of her grandson that she barely survived.
"Grandmother..." The boy seemed to sense the old woman's sadness, and raised his little face stuffed with candy.
The old woman laughed immediately and rubbed the soft top of the child's hair. In this scene, the eyes of the soldiers who were big and three thick in the back were sore, and they also thought of their own family...
These Nanliang people are simply unforgivable!
"Auntie, give this bag of sesame candy to Heizi." Xiao Yi took out an oiled paper bag from the purse embroidered with the gray eagle in his hand and handed it to the old woman.
"Thank you Jun Ye, thank Jun Ye." The old woman thanked him repeatedly.
Xiao Yi smiled at her and continued to walk forward surrounded by the crowd.
"Li Shoubei," Xiao Yi turned around and asked Li Shoubei as he walked, "Can you bring the map of Wengcheng?"
"Bring it, Lord Shi." Li Shoubei responded hurriedly and took a scroll from the hand of the accompanying soldiers, "Is Lord Shi going to survey the terrain today?"
Sir? ! The old woman in the back looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, and her eyes widened in surprise. This young and kind military master turned out to be a prince.
The old woman stared blankly at the back of Xiao Yi and his party leaving, a thin layer of tears appeared in her eyes, as if moved and revered.
"Grandma..." The boy looked up at his grandmother suspiciously.
"Heizi." The old woman looked at her grandson with a smile, "When you grow up, will you follow the prince to protect the safety of the southern border?"
The boy looked at the old woman ignorantly, blinked his black eyes, and the sweet taste in his mouth made him smile brightly.
Xiao Yi and his party went out of the city gate all the way and surveyed the terrain along the outer city wall.
Li Shoubei unfolded the scroll, pointed to the design of the Wengcheng on the scroll, and said a little excitedly: "Master Shizi, when the Wengcheng is repaired, Yanding City will be able to stand up to the siege vehicles." The last time Yanding The city was lost because the siege vehicles of Nanliang Army smashed the city gate, so that the enemy army drove straight in. Therefore, after the recapture of Yanding City, Xiao Yi and Li Shoubei considered building an urn city to strengthen the city defense, so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.
Everyone walked slowly along the city wall, and from time to time, they compared the design of the urn city and put forward their opinions.
At this time, there was a sound of a wheeled car coming from the woods ahead, and everyone followed the sound, only to see two familiar figures escorting a carriage to this side.
Fu Yunhe couldn't help but blurt out: "Little Fanzi!"
It was Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi who were driving the board carriage out of the woods. Three or four horrific corpses were randomly piled up on their carriage, and the familiar smell of corpses rushed towards them...
"Big Brother!" Yu Xiufan didn't look very good at first, but when he saw Xiao Yi, he was refreshed and strode forward to greet Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe, "Little Hezi, you are here too!"
Fu Yunhe pinched his nose and took three steps back, looking at Yu Xiufan with disgust, "Little Fan, stay away from me! ... After you shower and change, I'll treat you to a good meal!"
Although Fu Yunhe wanted to reminisce about the past with Yu Xiufan, he was really out of his control. Now Yu Xiufan's whole person seems to have fallen into a cesspool and crawled out, which is really something people can't avoid.
"Is it that stinky?" Yu Xiufan sniffed his sleeve and felt that he had been so stinky that he lost his sense of smell.
Chang Huaixi also came over, her face was pale, there was a black shadow under her eyes, and her steps were a little frivolous. Last night, he was awakened by nightmares from time to time. The dreams were all about the tragic state of rotting corpses and maggots, so that he hardly slept for a long time. Early in the morning, he was woken up again to continue searching for the body.
Of course Chang Huaixi wanted to carry the burden, but the problem was that Yu Xiufan had gone. If he didn't go, wouldn't it make people think that his fifth son, Chang Wu, was as timid as a mouse, just like that useless Qiao Shenyu, who was afraid of death? ! People are going to die, what's there to be afraid of!
"I've seen Shizi, and I'm here with Chang Huaixi." Chang Huaixi, holding on to the discomfort, stepped forward and greeted Xiao Yi.
"Are you the fifth son of General Chang's mansion?" Xiao Yi nodded slightly, greeting him.
Chang Huaixi was flattered, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Exactly." At this time, Chang Huaixi was a little grateful to Qiao Shenyu. If it weren't for him, how could their team come back earlier, and they happened to meet the prince and let himself reveal face once. Unexpectedly, the prince can actually recognize himself!
"Well……"
A small moan suddenly came from the carriage at the back, which startled several people: How come this corpse is alive again, isn't it a corpse transformation?
Before they could react, Yu Xiufan immediately followed the sound and blurted out, "Brother Qiao, are you awake?"
For a time, the expressions of everyone present were a little strange, and they all looked at the carriage, only to see three rotten corpses piled up on one side of the carriage behind the horses, while the other side was lying on its back. Lying there was a young man in green robe, his robe was dirty with mud, stump leaves and vomit, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. At first glance, it was really indistinguishable.
Meeting Li Shoujie's questioning eyes, Chang Huaixi explained, "Just now Brother Qiao saw a corpse with a half-rotted face, and he vomited and fainted, so we came back early."
While speaking, only to hear the sound of "vomit--", Qiao Shenyu, who was lying on the scooter, made a sudden move, grabbed the edge of the scooter, and vomited to the side.
"vomit--"
In the sound of vomiting, Fu Yunhe touched his nose, only to realize that he didn't seem to see Qiao Shenyu just now.
Also, if someone hadn't mentioned it, who would have paid attention to whether the person lying on the scooter was a human or a corpse...
Qiao Shenyu didn't notice the others around him at all, he vomited almost bile all the time, and then he wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuff in embarrassment. He didn't know where he was for a while, and looked around blankly, what caught his eye was the rotting corpse, the white bones sticking out from the big hole in the sleeve, the yellow-green pus from the rotting flesh and blood Gurgling out...
Qiao Shenyu moved his mouth and let out a hysterical scream, then his body softened, and he fell back onto the scooter, apparently fainting again.
Yu Xiufan shook his head silently, thinking in his heart: Fainting seems to be able to escape the reality in front of him, but wouldn't he continue to fall asleep with the corpse in the end? ! He wouldn't do such a stupid thing!
Chang Huaixi's mouth also twitched.
"Big Brother," Yu Xiufan clasped his fists and said to Xiao Yi, "then let's retire first." They had to pull the corpses to the incinerator first.
Xiao Yi responded, Yu Xiufan immediately waved his whip, the horses neighed, and pulled the scooter to move on.
It seems that because the scooter was bumped, Qiao Shenyu suddenly opened his eyes, and jumped off the scooter with a rolling and crawling expression, as if he had seen a ghost, and ran towards Xiao Yi in a panic, describing it as almost mad. He shouted: "Cousin Yi, I want to go back! Quickly order someone to take me back to Luoyue City!" He couldn't stay in such a ghost place!
Without Xiao Yi making a sound, two soldiers strode forward immediately, blocking Qiao Shenyu from left to right, and one of them scolded: "Presumptuous!"
Xiao Yi's dark peach eyes squinted, and he glanced at Qiao Shenyu lightly, and said casually: "Cousin Yu, is the army a place where you come and leave when you say it?" He became sharp, his eyes were like sharp swords, "Since you are here, it's not up to you whether you can leave or not. In the army, you should follow the orders of the army, and the offenders will stick!"
Although Xiao Yi's words were said to Qiao Shenyu, Chang Huaixi felt that these words were also said to himself, and his heart froze, thankful that he did not act rashly. Yes, even though Shi Ziye had a bad reputation in the southern border when he was young, everyone said that he was stubborn, that he couldn't succeed in martial arts, and that he was extremely playful, but now it seems that since Shi Ziye can defeat Baiyue and beat Nanliang Yu. After all, it's absolutely amazing! This time I am here to earn my future, and I must not give up halfway.
But Qiao Shenyu didn't take Xiao Yi's words to heart at all, thinking to himself: He won't be so stupid to stay here and suffer, he must find a way to escape! Yes, he's going to escape...
Xiao Yi saw Qiao Shenyu's thoughts at a glance, and slowly said with a smile that was not a smile: "Cousin Yu, looking at the relationship between relatives, I remind you, according to the military law: all deserters will be killed without mercy!" The last sentence was sonorous and forceful and cold, making people completely afraid to doubt the authenticity of his words.
For a moment, the surroundings were silent.
"..." Qiao Shenyu's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to speak, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
Xiao Yi glanced at Qiao Shenyu lightly again, and said, "My subordinates don't need waste."
Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi hurriedly pulled Qiao Shenyu away, and Yu Xiufan casually eased the atmosphere: "Brother Qiao, let's go to the incinerator first, you've vomited so much, you're hungry too. "
Yu Xiufan didn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, a burst of sour water appeared in Qiao Shenyu's stomach, and he couldn't help but vomit again.
Xiao Yi ignored Qiao Shenyu, turned around and led the soldiers towards the city gate, and asked, "Li Shoubei, do you have enough mugwort in the army now?"
Li Shoubei pondered and said: "Returning to Shizi, I recently spent a lot of wormwood in the search for corpses and smoked the house, but there are still some stocks. My subordinates will order someone to count them again."
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "If it's not enough, let Luo Yuecheng deliver it immediately..."
They are getting farther and farther, and the sound is also gone...
Luoyue City, which is hundreds of miles away, is also rising in the east at this moment, and the gray pigeons released by Bamboo galloped hundreds of miles overnight and flew into the sky above Bixiaotang...
For a certain gray eagle, the Bixiao Hall and even the entire palace are its airspace. When a gray dove came flying, the gray eagle that was originally perched on a tree immediately spread its wings and chased it playfully.
Thrush was waiting for the pigeons to fly into her hands, but Xiao Hui cut her off her beard. Next, the sky was full of chickens and dogs. I don't even know whose it is.
"Little Gray!" Thrush on the ground chased them back and forth, and finally stomped angrily.
The news from the outside spread to the banquet room. Nangong Yue put down half of the needle and thread in her hand, walked to the window, looked up, and saw the startled appearance of the poor gray pigeon.
Nangong Yue was a little amused, and she reprimanded with a slightly condensed expression: "Little Hui!" Although this scene looked amusing, if every carrier pigeon came in the future, Xiao Hui had to chase after him, which would be troublesome. Little gray rules.
Xiao Hui turned another half circle and stopped on the osmanthus tree not far away.
Seeing this, the poor gray pigeon couldn't wait to flap its wings and flew into Nangong Yue's hands, cooing a few times, sounding a little pitiful.
Nangong Yue stroked the pigeon soothingly, and in the next instant, she heard a hawk croak. She looked for the sound, but met Xiao Hui's displeased eyes, as if condemning herself for being fond of the new and hating the old. Little Gray twisted his head and fluttered his wings and flew away...
Nangong Yue shook her head, it seems that she will have to give Xiao Hui some venison to appease later... Her attention was quickly attracted by the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, which must be a letter from A Yi Bar!
She hurriedly untied the small bamboo tube and took out the two densely written silk papers inside.
Looking at the familiar handwriting, the corners of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched, and her obsidian-like black pupils shone like stars in the night sky.
The maids on the side were accompanying Nangong Yue to do needlework, but when they saw this, they all quietly withdrew.
Nangong Yue leaned against the window and read Xiao Yi's letter several times. Although it was a trivial matter in daily life, it always reminded her of his expression and demeanor at the time, which attracted her from time to time. smile.
In the morning, the warm but not scorching sun shone on her body, and her snow-like skin was covered with a golden halo on her face, and the skin on her face was so delicate that you could hardly see pores.
The room was silent, she held the letter in her hand, looked up at the sky outside the house, Xiao Hui flew back at some point, and couldn't go circling in the yard...
Queer picked up the curtain and looked into the room cautiously. Seeing Nangongyue staring out the window in a daze, she came in and reported, "Prince Prince, the people from the flower room are here and are waiting in the yard."
Now is the time to change the seasons, and it's time to bring seasonal flowers to the house.
Only then did Nangong Yue come back to her senses, her eyes focused again.
She responded, walked to the dressing table, carefully received Xiao Yi's letter in a small red sandalwood box, and then instructed Que'er to let someone in.
Queer soon came in with the two little maids in the flower room. The two little maids never had the chance to talk to the master on weekdays.
After the two bowed to Nangong Yue, they swiftly replaced the slightly leftover jasmine and sweet-scented osmanthus with aster, Chinese rose, evergreen, etc. The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, which was refreshing.
Nangong Yue approached an aster and smelled it, and asked the little maid who was serving the aster, "Are there any other chrysanthemums in the flower room?"
The little maid was a little nervous, so she bent her knees and replied, "Princess Shizi, there are dozens of chrysanthemums in the flower room, such as Huang Shiba, Green Peony, Erqiao, Da Ruyi, Ruyi Golden Hook, Golden Peony, Shuaiqi, Liuxian, Hibiscus Tuo Gui, jade plate holding beads, red gold lion, warm jade, purple jade fragrant beads, ice plate holding Gui, ink lotus, etc. are all available, but most of them have just bloomed. If the prince and concubine like it, the slaves will go to get them. Or in a few more days, when the buds are half open?" The little maid said with a sigh of relief.
Nangong Yue softened her tone and said with a smile, "Then go and choose two pots with flower buds."
"Yes, Concubine Shi." The little girl swallowed her saliva and hurriedly responded, picking up the curtain and leaving.
Nangong Yue looked around, and after putting on new flowers and plants, the house seemed to have a new look, feeling a whole new look.
She pointed to a pot of canna that had been placed in the corner and said, "Thrush, put this pot of canna by the window." Canna likes a sunny, hot environment.
Thrush responded with a sound, and moved the pot of canna over there. Under the sun, seeing the green leaves of the canna, and the red flowers as bright as fire, made him feel refreshed.
Thrush stared at the bright red flower for a while, then sighed: "As expected, this canna still has to be grown in the south, it's much more gorgeous than the ones in the capital!"
The maids commented on the flowers and plants for a while, Ying'er picked up the curtain and came in, saying: "Prince Prince, Second Young Master is here and asked to see you."
Xiao Luan was raised by Xiao Fang as a child who didn't grow up, and there were some unreasonable accidents.
Nangong Yue didn't know the details of why the two brothers came to that point in the previous life. At least in this life, or since she arrived in the southern border, there may have been no Xiao Fang's instigation and crooked tricks. Xiao Luan Didn't do anything annoying. Since You Qi had beaten her to the center feeder, Xiao Luan would come over from time to time to ask for some ice, some rare fruit or something, smilingly calling her "sister-in-law", ignoring her at all.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "Invite the second son to the main room."
Nangong Yue adjusted her clothes a little and went to the main room to sit down.
Soon, Ying'er led a young man in a smoky purple robe into the hall. Xiao Luan's appearance was more like Xiao Fang's, far inferior to Xiao Yi, but still much more gentle than Zhennan Wang Junyi, but his eyebrows and eyes There is always a trace of tiredness, as if I can never sleep enough.
"Sister-in-law!" Xiao Luan greeted Nangong Yue with a smile and sat down beside him.
The maid served tea fruit snacks, and Xiao Luan hesitantly explained the purpose: "Sister-in-law, the birthday banquet of the father and the king is coming, can you let Pian Pian come out too? Just let her be with you. The best opera troupe in Luoyue City came to sing, and Pian Pian is her favorite."
Pian Pian... Nangong Yue's heart moved, vaguely remembering that this Pian Pian was Xiao Luan's aunt, who seemed to be a courtesan in the past. Pian Pian has always been very popular with Xiao Luan since she left the mansion.
This is what happened in Xiao Luan's house. Nangong Yue heard something occasionally, but it was just a whisper, and she didn't take it too seriously.
This time...
Nangong Yue's eyes were slightly dark, but her face was not obvious, she smiled at Xiao Luan: "Second brother, have you figured it out clearly? Father's birthday is no less than the family banquet in our mansion. There were many distinguished guests that day. , As an elegant person, I am afraid that everyone needs to salute, and I don't even have the qualifications to be seated... Even if you are watching a play, you can only stand and watch with the maids."
Xiao Luan's face stiffened. Indeed, my sister-in-law is right. On the day of my father's birthday, except for relatives, all the people who came to the famous mansion in southern Xinjiang, he also saw a lot of the faces of those women. Look at people... His Pian Pian is so delicate, if he encounters some difficult female family, wouldn't he be humiliated to death!
The more Xiao Luan thought about it, the more inappropriate it became. He shook his head hurriedly and said, "Fortunately, sister-in-law, you reminded me. Let's forget about it."
Xiao Luan looked at Nangong Yue with a grateful expression on her face. The eldest sister-in-law was really kind and attentive, and it was no wonder that even his difficult sister and terrifying elder brother could get along with him.
The thrush on the side half bowed his head, and he was a little speechless. I don't know whether to sigh the second son's bowels, or to coax him?
Xiao Luan stood up, thanked Nangong Yue again, and left.
Looking at the back of Xiao Luan's departure, Nangong Yue's eyes flashed a dignified color.
