Xiao Yi strode forward and took out something from his purse. He squatted in front of the boy and said with a friendly smile: "Would you like some sesame candy?"
In his palm was a pearl-sized candy, which exuded a rich sweet sesame fragrance. For young children, this sweet fragrance has an incredible appeal.
The boy forgot to cry for a moment and looked at the old woman questioningly. The old woman nodded to him, and the boy took the candy.
"Thank you, Master." The old woman thanked Xiao Yi hurriedly, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that this young general looked like the fairy in the painting.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly and said to the old woman, "He is very good."
The old woman with white hair and beard sighed faintly: "He is just a poor man. His parents are gone, and we are the only two in the family left to depend on each other..." The old woman said with tears in her eyes. It was a bit sour, but it was for the sake of her grandson that she managed to hold on.
"Grandma..." The boy seemed to feel the old woman's sadness and raised his little face that was bulging with candy.
The old woman immediately smiled and rubbed the top of the child's soft hair. This scene made the sight of several tall and thick soldiers behind them sore, and they also thought of their own families...
These Nanliang people are simply unpardonable!
"Auntie, give this bag of sesame candies to Heizi." Xiao Yi took out an oil paper bag from the purse embroidered with a gray eagle and handed it to the old woman.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." The old woman thanked her repeatedly.
Xiao Yi smiled at her and continued walking forward surrounded by everyone.
"Li Shoubei," Xiao Yi turned around and asked Li Shoubei as he walked away, "have you brought the Wengcheng map?"
"Bring it, Your Majesty." Li Shoubei responded hurriedly, taking a scroll from the accompanying soldiers, "Your Majesty, are you planning to survey the terrain today?"
Your Majesty? ! The old woman behind looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, her eyes wide open in surprise. This young and kind military master turned out to be the prince.
The old woman stared blankly at the back of Xiao Yi and his group as they left, a thin layer of mist of tears appeared in her eyes, as if moved and reverenced.
"Grandma..." The boy looked up at his grandmother in confusion.
"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 southern Xinjiang?"
The boy looked at the old woman ignorantly, blinked his dark eyes, and the sweet taste in his mouth made him smile brightly.
Xiao Yi and his party walked all the way out of the city gate and surveyed the terrain along the outer city wall.
Li Shoubei unfolded the scroll, pointed to the design drawing of the barbican city on the scroll, and said with excitement: "Master, when the barbican city is repaired, Yanding City will be able to withstand siege engines." Once Yanding City was lost, it was because the Nanliang Army's siege vehicles broke through the city gates, causing the enemy troops to march straight in. Therefore, after recapturing Yanding City, Xiao Yi and Li Shoubei considered building a barbican city to strengthen the city defense to avoid repeating the same mistake in the future. .
Everyone walked slowly along the city wall, comparing the design drawings of the urn city from time to time and putting forward their own opinions.
At this time, there was a sound of wheels coming from the woods ahead. Everyone looked at the sound and saw two familiar figures escorting a carriage coming this way.
Fu Yunhe couldn't help but blurt out: "Xiao Fanzi!"
It was Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi who were driving the carriage out of the grove. Three or four horrific corpses were piled randomly on their carriage, and the familiar smell of corpses rushed over them. ……
"Brother!" Yu Xiufan originally looked unhappy, but as soon as he saw Xiao Yi, he perked up and strode forward to greet Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe, "Xiao Hezi, you are here too!"
Fu Yunhe pinched his nose and took three steps back, looking at Yu Xiufan with disgust, "Xiao Fanzi, stay away from me!... After you take a bath and change clothes, I will treat you to a good meal!"
Although Fu Yunhe wanted to reminisce with Yu Xiufan, he was really unable to do so. Now Yu Xiufan seemed to have fallen into a cesspit and crawled out again, and people were really afraid to avoid him.
"Is it that smelly?" Yu Xiufan smelled his sleeves and felt that he had lost his sense of smell due to the stink.
Chang Huaixi also walked over, his face was pale, his eyes were covered with black shadows, and his steps were a little frivolous. Last night, he was woken up by nightmares from time to time. The dreams were full of the miserable scenes of corpses rotting and infested with maggots, so that he barely slept for much that night. Early in the morning, he was woken up again to continue searching for the body.
Of course Chang Huaixi wants to give up his burden, but the problem is that Yu Xiufan has gone. If he doesn't go, wouldn't it make people think that Chang Wu is as timid as a mouse, and is as afraid of death as the useless Qiao Shenyu? Can't? ! Everyone is going to die, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
"I have met the prince, I am Chang Huaixi." Chang Huaixi forced himself to endure the discomfort and stepped forward to meet Xiao Yi.
"Are you the Fifth Young Master of General Chang's Mansion?" Xiao Yi nodded slightly as a greeting to him.
Chang Huaixi was flattered and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Exactly." At this time, Chang Huaixi was somewhat grateful to Qiao Shenyu. If it hadn't been for him, how could their team have come back early and happened to meet the prince? Show your face for once. Unexpectedly, the prince could actually recognize him!
"Well..."
A faint groan suddenly came from the carriage behind, startling several people: Why is this corpse alive again? Could it be a corpse?
Before they could react, Yu Xiufan immediately followed the sound and blurted out: "Brother Qiao, are you awake?"
For a moment, the expressions of everyone present were a little strange. They all looked at the carriage and saw three rotting corpses piled on one side on the carriage behind the horses, while another On one side, a young man in green robes lay on his back. His robes were stained by mud, residual leaves and vomit, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. At first glance, it seemed that some people were indistinguishable from each other. .
Facing Li Shoubei's questioning look, Chang Huaixi explained: "Brother Qiao just saw a corpse with half of its face, and he vomited and fainted, so we came back early."
As he spoke, there was a sound of "vomit--" and Qiao Shenyu, who was lying on the cart, suddenly started to move, grabbing the edge of the cart and vomiting to the side.
"Ugh——"
Amidst the sound of vomiting, Fu Yunhe touched his nose and realized that he didn't seem to see Qiao Shenyu just now.
Yes, if someone hadn’t mentioned it, who would have paid special attention to whether the person lying on the cart was a human or a corpse...
Qiao Shenyu didn't notice the other people around him at all. He kept vomiting until he almost vomited out bile, and then wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve in embarrassment. He didn't know where he was for a moment, and looked around blankly. What caught his eye was the rotting corpse beside him. The thick white bones protruded from the big holes in the sleeves, and the yellow-green pus came from the rotting flesh and blood. The gurgling flow...
Qiao Shenyu moved his mouth and let out a hysterical scream. Then his body softened and fell back onto the cart. Apparently he fainted again.
Yu Xiufan shook his head silently and thought: Fainting may seem like an escape from the reality in front of him, but wouldn’t the result be that he continues to sleep with the corpse? ! He wouldn't do such stupid things!
The corners of Chang Huaixi's mouth also twitched.
"Brother," Yu Xiufan clasped his fists and said to Xiao Yi, "Then let's leave first." They had to take these corpses to the crematorium first.
Xiao Yi responded, and Yu Xiufan immediately waved his whip. The horse neighed and pulled the cart forward.
It seems that because of the jolt of the trolley, Qiao Shenyu suddenly opened his eyes, jumped off the trolley and rolled on the ground, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and ran towards Xiao Yi in a panic, describing He shouted almost frantically: "Cousin Yi, I want to go back! Send me back to Luoyue City quickly!" He couldn't stay in this hellish place any longer!
Without Xiao Yi saying a word, two soldiers immediately strode forward and blocked Qiao Shenyu from the left and the right to prevent him from getting closer. One of them solemnly reprimanded: "How presumptuous!"
Xiao Yi squinted his dark peach blossom eyes, glanced at Qiao Shenyu indifferently, and said casually: "Cousin Yu, isn't the army a place where you can come and leave whenever you say?" As he said, His tone became sharp, and his eyes were like sharp swords, "Since you are here, it is not up to you to decide whether you can leave or not. In the army, you have to obey the orders of the army. If you violate it, you will be punished by the rod!"
Although Xiao Yi's words were addressed to Qiao Shenyu, Chang Huaixi felt that these words were also addressed to herself. She felt a chill in her heart and was glad that she did not act rashly. Yes, although the prince's reputation in southern Xinjiang was not good when he was young, people said that he was extremely naughty, incompetent in literature and military, and extremely dandy, but now it seems that since the prince can repel Baiyue in front, he can defeat Nan Liang. Finally, definitely not an ordinary person! I am here to earn a future this time, 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 will not be stupid enough to stay here and suffer, he must find a way to escape! Yes, he wants to escape back...
Xiao Yi could tell what Qiao Shenyu was thinking at a glance, and said slowly with a smile but not a smile: "Cousin Yu, for the sake of relatives, let me remind you that according to military law: Anyone who deserts the army will be killed without mercy! "His last sentence was so sonorous and so cold that no one dared to doubt the authenticity of his words.
For a moment, there was silence all around.
"..." Qiao Shenyu's lips trembled slightly and he wanted to speak, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and nothing could be said.
Xiao Yi glanced at Qiao Shenyu again and said, "I don't need waste under my command."
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi hurriedly pulled Qiao Shenyu away. Yu Xiufan calmed down the atmosphere casually: "Brother Qiao, let's go to the incinerator first. You have vomited so much and you are also hungry. That’s it.”
It was okay if Yu Xiufan didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Qiao Shenyu felt sour in his stomach and couldn't help but vomited again.
Xiao Yi ignored Qiao Shenyu, turned around and led the soldiers towards the city gate, asking: "Li Shoubei, do you have enough mugwort in the army now?"
Li Shoubei pondered and said: "Back to the Master, recently a lot of mugwort has been spent on the corpse fumigation house, but there is still some inventory. I will order someone to do an inventory again."
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "If it's not enough, ask Luo Yuecheng to send it immediately..."
They drifted away, and their voices also faded away...
The sun is rising hundreds of miles away in Luoyue City at this moment, and the gray pigeons released from the bamboos gallop hundreds of miles overnight and fly into the sky above Bixiaotang...
For a certain gray eagle, the airspace from Bixiaotang and even the entire palace is its airspace. When it sees a gray pigeon flying towards it, the gray eagle that was originally perching on the tree immediately spreads its wings and flies to chase it playfully.
Thrush was originally waiting for the pigeon to fly into her hand, but she was unexpectedly cut off by Xiao Hui. Next, there was a lot of flying in the air, the gray pigeon fled, the gray eagle chased, and from time to time a few pieces of tiny dust fell down. Hui Yu doesn’t know whose it belongs to.
"Little Hui!" The thrush on the ground ran after them, and finally stamped his feet angrily.
The noise outside reached the banquet room. Nangong Yue put down the half-made needlework and walked to the window. When she looked up, she saw the frightened look of poor Gray Pigeon.
Nangong Yue was a little funny, and scolded with a slightly serious expression: "Xiao Hui!" Although this scene looked funny, if Xiao Hui had to chase every homing pigeon that came in the future, I'm afraid it would be a trouble. Look, It's time to teach Xiao Hui some rules.
Xiao Hui turned half a circle again and stopped at 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 hand, cooing a few times, which sounded a little pitiful.
Nangong Yue stroked the dove soothingly, and the next moment, she heard an eagle cry. She looked for the sound, but met Xiao Hui's displeased eyes, as if reproaching herself for liking the new and hating the old. Little Gray twisted his head, flapped his wings and flew away...
Nangong Yue shook her head. It seemed that she would have to give Xiao Hui some venison later to appease her... Her attention was quickly attracted by the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg. This must be a gift from A Yi. Come and write!
She hurriedly untied the small bamboo tube and took out two pieces of densely written silk paper.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw the familiar handwriting. Her obsidian-like black pupils were as bright as the stars in the night sky, shining brightly.
The maids on the side were accompanying Nangong Yue to do needlework, but when they saw this, they all retreated quietly.
Nangong Yue leaned against the window and read Xiao Yi's letter several times. Although it was the most trivial things in daily life, it always reminded her of his expression and demeanor at that time, which attracted her attention from time to time. A knowing smile.
The warm but not scorching morning sunlight shone on her body, coating her snow-like skin with a golden halo. The skin on her face was so delicate that pores were almost invisible.
The room was quiet. She held the letter in her hand and looked up at the sky outside the house. Xiao Hui flew back without knowing when, hovering in the yard...
Quie'er lifted the curtain and carefully looked into the room. Seeing Nangong Yue staring out the window in a daze, he came into the room and reported: "Prince Princess, the people from the flower house are here and are waiting in the yard. ”
Now is the time when the seasons change and it’s time to fill the house with seasonal flowers.
Nangong Yue finally came back to her senses, her eyes focused again.
She responded, walked to the dressing table, carefully received Xiao Yi's letter into a small rosewood box, and then told Que'er to let people in.
Quie'er soon came in with two little maids from the greenhouse. The two little maids had never had a chance to talk to their master on weekdays. They spoke and acted with some fear and fear, and their eyes were fixed.
After the two of them saluted Nangong Yue, they quickly replaced the slightly decayed jasmine and osmanthus with aster, rose, dieffenbachia, etc. The air was filled with a light floral fragrance, which was refreshing.
After Nangong Yue came close to an aster and smelled it, she asked the little maid serving the aster: "Are there any other chrysanthemums in the flower room?"
The little maid was a little nervous and bent her knees and replied: "Prince Princess, there are dozens of kinds of chrysanthemums in the flower room, such as yellow eighteen, green peony, Erqiao, big Ruyi, Ruyi golden hook, golden peony, handsome flag, and willow thread. , hibiscus with cinnamon, jade plate with beads, red gold lion, warm jade, purple jade fragrant beads, ice plate with cinnamon, ink lotus, etc., but most of them have just grown buds. If the imperial concubine likes it, I will Go and get it, or wait a few days until the buds are half open?" The little maid held her breath and said vigorously.
Nangong Yue softened her tone and said with a smile: "Then you go and choose two pots with flower buds."
"Yes, Crown Princess." The little maid swallowed her saliva and hurriedly responded, then picked up the curtain and left.
Nangong Yue looked around. After putting in new flowers and plants, the room seemed to have a new atmosphere and a completely new look.
She pointed to a pot of canna that was originally placed in the corner and said: "Thrush, put this pot of canna by the window." Canna likes an environment with plenty of sunshine and high temperature.
The thrush responded and moved the pot of canna over. Under the sun, I saw that the canna had plump green leaves and red flowers as bright as fire, which made me feel refreshed.
Thrush stared at the bright red flowers for a while, then sighed: "This canna must be planted in the south, it is much more gorgeous than the ones in the royal capital!"
The maids were appreciating the flowers and plants for a long time. Ying'er came in through the curtain and said, "Prince Concubine, the second young master is here and wants to see you."
Xiao Luan was raised by Xiao Fang like a child who has not grown up, and was somewhat unreasonable.
Nangong Yue did not know the details of why the two brothers reached that point in their previous life. At least in this life, or since she arrived in southern Xinjiang, perhaps there was no little Fang family to encourage and make evil moves. , Xiao Luan never did anything annoying. Especially after he slapped her in the middle, Xiao Luan would come over from time to time to ask for some ice, rare fruits and so on, calling her "sister-in-law" with a smile, without any acknowledgment.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile and said: "Invite the second young master to the main room."
Nangong Yue adjusted her clothes a little, then went to the main room to sit down.
Soon, Ying'er led a young man in a smoky purple brocade robe into the hall. Xiao Luan's appearance was more like that of Xiao Fang, far inferior to Xiao Yi, but still much more elegant than Zhennan Wang Junyi. But there was always a trace of tiredness in his brows and eyes, as if he could never get enough sleep.
"Sister-in-law!" Xiao Luan smiled and saluted Nangong Yue, then sat down aside.
The maid served tea and fruit snacks, and Xiao Luan hesitated to explain her purpose: "Sister-in-law, my father's birthday banquet is coming soon, can you let Pianpian come out too? Just let her stay with you, sister-in-law. That's it. At the second birthday banquet, the best opera troupe in Luoyue City were invited to come and sing operas. Pianpian likes to watch operas the most."
Pianpian... Nangong Yue's heart moved, and she vaguely remembered that Pianpian was Xiao Luan's aunt, and she seemed to have been an oiran in the past. Pianpian has been very popular with Xiao Luan since she passed the government.
This is what happened in Xiao Luan's house. Nangong Yue occasionally heard something, but just ignored it and didn't take it to heart.
This time...
Nangong Yue's eyes were dark, but her face didn't show it. She smiled at Xiao Luan and said, "Second brother, have you thought clearly? Father's birthday is not as good as the family banquet in our house. That day will come There are many distinguished guests, and with Pian Pian’s status, I am afraid that I have to bow to everyone, and I am not even qualified to sit down... Even if I go to the theater, I can only stand and watch with the maids."
Xiao Luan's face froze. Indeed, my sister-in-law was right. On the day of my father's birthday, in addition to relatives, all the people who came were from famous mansions in southern Xinjiang. He had also seen a lot of the faces of those women. Many of them thought they were noble and used their nostrils. Look at people... His Pianpian is so delicate. If he meets any difficult female family members, wouldn't he be humiliated to death?
The more Xiao Luan thought about it, the more he felt it was inappropriate. He shook his head and said, "Fortunately, sister-in-law, you reminded me. Let's forget about it."
Xiao Luan looked at Nangong Yue with a grateful face. Her sister-in-law was really kind and attentive. It was no wonder that she could get along with his sister who was so difficult to get along with and his terrifying elder brother.
The thrush on the side half bowed his head, feeling a little speechless. He didn't know whether he should sigh that the second young master was a loser, or should he be coaxed?
Xiao Luan stood up, thanked Nangong Yue again, and then left.
Looking at Xiao Luan's leaving figure, a solemn look flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes.
