www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
There is a thoughtful expression on Xiao Yixinli's face. Could it be that...
No way?
Although he was thinking this, Xiao Yi still stood up and looked out the window at the sky.
In the blue sky, cloudless, a blurry eagle is flying high in the sky. Because the distance is too far, only a black shadow can be seen. The eagle is flying here, emitting sounds from time to time. The eagle's cry is getting louder and louder...
Although he still couldn't see clearly what it looked like, Xiao Yi was convinced in his heart. He put his fingers to his lips and made a loud whistle...
The eagle in the sky seemed to hear the sound here, and flew over here with a clear goal. It spread its wings, flew lower and lower, and suddenly swooped down towards the yard outside the study...
"Little Gray!"
Xiao Yi smiled happily, stretched out his right arm, and let Xiao Hui rest firmly on his right arm.
Hearing the sound, Zhuzi came over, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and stammered: "Your Majesty, Xiao...Why are Xiao Hui here?"
"It's not just Xiao Hui who's here..." Xiao Yi touched Xiao Hui's shiny gray feathers and smiled meaningfully.
The letter from the smelly girl arrived a few days ago. Half of the long letter was a complaint against Xiao Hui for getting wilder and wilder. He even followed Guan Yubai out for a whole day before he returned home.
It seems that Xiao Hui is really not unjust and has been "wild" all the way to Yanding City!
Xiao Yi couldn't help but laugh, and flicked its neck with his fingers of his left hand. Xiao Hui shook his head and bent his head to peck his own wings.
Zhuzi was confused and scratched his head. Who else came with Xiao Hui? It can't be the Crown Princess, right? ……how can that be possible!
At this moment, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside, mixed with the sound of armor clashing, and a soldier said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
"Come in." Xiao Yi said.
The soldier hurriedly entered the study, clasped his fists and reported: "Your Majesty, Marquis An Yi is here and has just entered the city gate." As he said that, he couldn't help but glance at the gray eagle on Xiao Yi's arm from the corner of his eye. But he was immediately looked down by Xiao Hui's cold eagle eyes, and felt strange: Haven't you heard that the prince raised an eagle?
Xiao Yi ordered: "Please come here to speak with Marquis An Yi!"
The soldiers were ordered to retreat.
An Yihou? ! Zhuzi was a little dumbfounded. Did the prince just refer to An Yihou?
"Why did An Yihou and Xiao Hui get together?" Zhuzi muttered softly.
Xiao Yi fondly touched Xiao Hui's wings again, and ordered: "Zhuzi, go prepare some raw meat for Xiao Hui... Forget it. Xiao Hui, I see there are a lot of game outside Yanding City, it's not as good as your own Go find some food and bring me some along the way."
Xiao Hui cried out, not sure if he understood it.
Xiao Yi waved his right arm, and Xiao Hui immediately flew out, soaring into the sky in a show of skill, letting out a loud eagle cry.
The bamboo on the side is sweating profusely. The prince used to be fed by his concubine, but now he relies on his own eagle for food?
Actually, Zhuzi really wants to say: Although there is a shortage of food in the city, it is not so difficult...
After a while, there was a burst of messy footsteps again outside the study. As soon as he heard the sound, he knew that there were several people this time. Zhuzi hurriedly went out to greet the guests, and soon Guan Yubai, Li Yunqi and Xiao Si came in. , and other entourage members were waiting outside.
Guan Yubai walked in leisurely and calmly, showing his usual calmness and gentleness, but Li Yunqi behind him was like a taut bow, bent tightly.
When Li Yunqi was in the royal capital, he heard that the Prince of Zhennan was arrogant and surly and did whatever he wanted. This time, Marquis An Yi came here to check on the battle situation between the Southern Xinjiang Army and Nanliang. There was always something unjust about what he said. Maybe Xiao Shizi would feel that An Yihou was deliberately looking for trouble, and he would be unhappy, so he would use this to make things difficult.
Xiao Yi didn't even look at Li Yunqi. He politely said to Guan Yubai, cupping his fists and saying, "Master Guan Hou, it's been a long time. I hope you are well."
Guan Yubai clasped his fists in response, and his attitude was lukewarm: "Prince Xiao, you are well." Then he introduced Li Yunqi on the side, "This is Captain Li Yunqi."
Li Yunqi hurriedly saluted Xiao Yi: "I have met Prince Xiao." Although he pretended to be relaxed, the stiff feeling had long been unconsciously radiated through his words and deeds.
"Captain Li." Xiao Yi hugged Li Yunqi casually, "Captain Li has worked hard all the way. I will ask someone to take Captain Li down to settle down."
While he was speaking, Zhu Zi walked up to Li Yunqi knowingly and extended his hand to make a petition.
Li Yunqi's expression froze for a moment. The attitude of Prince Xiao was already obvious, and he clearly wanted to send him away on purpose. Will Prince Xiao embarrass Marquis An Yi?
Li Yunqi gave Guan Yubai a questioning look, and Guan Yubai nodded slightly, so Li Yunqi could only say: "Thank you very much, Prince Xiao, I will leave now."
Li Yunqi walked out and heard Xiao Yi's voice from behind: "Master Guanhou, my son received a flying pigeon letter from his father a few days ago. Lord Guan's trip..."
Li Yunqi gradually walked away and could no longer hear anything, nor could he see Xiao Yi's narrow expression.
"Xiao Bai, sit down! Why are you so polite to me?" Xiao Yi walked to the window and sat down on an armchair, asking Guan Yubai to sit down as well.
Guan Yu sat down with his white robe lifted up. He happened to catch a glimpse of a gray feather on the ground from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth and said, "Has Xiao Hui been here?" Along the way, Xiao Hui would follow him from time to time and tease him. After a while, the pigeon returned to Luoyue City, going back and forth, very busy.
Xiao Yi nodded: "I sent it to find food by itself."
As Xiao Yi spoke, he picked up the teapot on the side and personally poured a cup of warm tea for Guan Yubai. He said in a teasing tone, "Xiao Bai, I think your 'bird' relationship is not bad. Ah, it’s rare that my little Hui likes you so much. How about you also raise an eagle? Then we can be in-laws!"
Before Guan Yubai said anything, Xiaosi's entire face turned dark, and he thought to himself: This Prince Xiao is still so out of tune!
At this moment, the familiar eagle cry came from the window again, and the next moment, a colorful object was thrown in from the window...
After the homing pigeon incident a few days ago, Xiaosi has become very skilled, and he caught the ball in his hands with a casual grab.
I bought something heavy, and this time, it turned out to be a colorful pheasant!
Seeing this, Xiao Yi happily showed off to Guan Yubai: "Xiao Bai, I just asked Xiao Hui to bring me some game, and he brought me a pheasant back! The eagle I raised , it’s really unusual!”
The three people in the room all looked out the window. Xiao Hui had stopped on a big tree outside and was looking down at everyone with his usual arrogant eyes, as if to say, you mortals don't know how to hunt. I'll give you some food.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Guan Yubai's mouth, and he said: "Xiao Hui is indeed smart." As he said that, he took out a piece of silk paper folded into a long strip from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't know about Nanliang's carrier pigeons yet, so he unfolded the piece of paper with a suspicious look on his face. The few words on it shocked him and made him look surprised. This turned out to be...
Guan Yubai was talking to the side about how Xiao Hui sent him a carrier pigeon that day. Xiao Yi raised his brows, put down the letter and looked at Xiao Hui outside the window, praising: "Xiao Hui, you should do it right away. Great service!" Now he has to write to the bratty girl to defend Xiao Hui. Why did he spoil Xiao Hui rotten? It's clear that like a master, there must be an eagle, Xiao Hui is all Like him!
Looking at Xiao Yi's triumphant look, Xiaosi's brows twitched and he looked away speechlessly.
Xiao Yi pinched the piece of tissue paper and read it again, then raised his eyes and said again: "Xiao Bai, you came just in time this time. There is a swamp near Yanding City. Two of my subordinates were exploring it in the past two days. While looking at the terrain, I accidentally discovered a path that can bypass the swamp..."
Guan Yubai was thoughtful, clasped the table with his knuckles, and said, "Is this swamp to the southwest of Yanding City?" He already knew the map of southern Xinjiang in his heart.
Seeing Guan Yubai's eyes lowered in thought, Xiao Yi said diligently: "Xiao Bai, there's no rush in this matter. You've come a long way, haven't you eaten yet? Hey, Xiao Hui was kind enough to catch a mountain for us. Chicken, let’s not let him down. Let’s just roast this pheasant and eat it! You don’t need to do anything, I’ll do it!”
Xiao Si’s brows twitched and he thought to himself: Why do Prince Xiao’s words sound so weird...
Guan Yubai said with a smile: "Then I will have a taste of your craftsmanship today."
Xiao Yi proudly showed off: "My grandfather said that a man should use the sky as his quilt and the earth as his seat. Even if he has no money, he can hunt pheasants and wild boars and roast them for dinner! Grandpa! During the war, I was separated from the army again... Forget it, I will tell you later while roasting chicken."
As he said that, he looked at the pheasant in Xiao Si’s hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This pheasant is not fat enough, and the feathers have been removed. There is probably not much left, and it will definitely not be enough for us to eat!" ”
He walked to the window and shouted to Xiao Hui outside the window: "Xiao Hui, I have guests here. Go catch some pheasants and rabbits and come back."
Under Xiao Si’s complicated gaze, Xiao Hui flapped his wings and flew high into the sky.
Xiao Yi watched Xiao Hui flying higher and higher, and said proudly: "My Xiao Hui is indeed the smartest eagle!"
At this time, the bamboo that had been placed by Li Yunqi came back.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the colorful pheasant in Xiaosi's hand. He was dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he cursed: Xiao Hui actually hunted a pheasant for the prince! This is enough for the prince to show off for a long time!
Xiao Yi ordered: "Bamboo, go and prepare a grill and firewood. I will personally roast the chicken to entertain Xiaobai."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhuzi hurriedly went down.
When doing things with bamboo, Xiao Yi naturally doesn’t have to worry about it. Not only is the grill and dry firewood ready, but also all kinds of seasoning jars such as oil, salt, soy and vinegar, as well as daggers, iron forks and other tools are all ready. Ready.
Even the pheasant was killed, the colorful feathers and internal organs were removed, and it was just waiting to be roasted.
The two masters and two servants sat down in the backyard behind the study. Xiao Yi's movements were a bit unfamiliar, but still decent. Xiao Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the alluring aroma of barbecue filled the yard, and the fat on the skin and meat melted and made a sizzling sound. Watching, smelling, and listening made people salivate.
When the roasted chicken turned golden brown, Xiao Yi was already very skilled in his movements and said with a smile: "You can eat it now!"
Before he finished speaking, the familiar eagle cry was heard in the air again. Xiao Hui was back. It swooped down and threw the "claw", regardless of whether people could catch it or not. Throw it away.
Xiao Si frowned again, but still ran over, caught it accurately and took advantage of the momentum.
This time, Xiao Hui hunted a mountain rabbit.
So, there was another naked roast rabbit on the grill.
Zhuzi ordered the kitchen to cook some side dishes, and the two of them drank tea instead of wine. They ate and chatted until the moon rose above the willow branches, then they went back to rest...
Early the next morning, Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai and a group of seven or eight people left the city and headed southwest. The main purpose of their trip was to check the path next to the swamp. Fu Yunhe and Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi are also among them.
Little Hui flew above them, flying in front of them for a while, and then flying back again, hovering above their heads, making loud calls from time to time, as if urging them to go faster!
October in southern Xinjiang is much hotter than Wangduo. At this moment, the sun has fully risen, hanging high in the cloudless sky, and the sunlight is scorching and dazzling.
Fortunately, after driving for a few miles on the official road, they entered a dense forest. The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, giving them the cool feeling of autumn.
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi led the way.
Yu Xiufan rode his horse in front of the trees and turned around and said: "Brother, after passing through this forest, there is a grassland connected to the swamp, so everyone must be careful. If you accidentally fall into the swamp, it will be dangerous. It's troublesome..." Yu Xiufan's tone seemed to be quite emotional, which made several other people raise their eyebrows.
Fu Yunhe did not greet Yu Xiufan politely, and asked directly with a smile: "Xiao Fanzi, you haven't fallen before, have you?"
Yu Xiufan seemed to have thought of something, wiped cold sweat and said: "That's not true, it was just a little bit close. Fortunately, Xiao Xizi gave me a hand." However, later, he watched helplessly as a head fell into the trap accidentally. The wild boar that entered the swamp encountered the disaster of being overturned step by step in front of his eyes, which really made him feel quite immersive...
"Xiao Xizi, you are my savior now." Yu Xiufan looked at Chang Huaixi enthusiastically, "When we get back to Luoyue City, I will treat you to a drink... everyone has a share!"
Everyone laughed when he greeted them like this, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed and happy.
Only Chang Huaixi's eyebrows twitched because of the name Xiao Xizi.
Everyone continued to ride forward, and not long after, a bright light appeared in front of the woods. Yu Xiufan pointed forward and said: "The exit of the woods is ahead..."
It suddenly became clear outside the woods. In front of it was a large flat grassland, and beyond that was a large swamp. On the dark gray mire, some bright green water plants and blue duckweeds grew sparsely... …
Everyone slowed down their horses. There was a light white mist above the swamp, mixed with a cold and putrid smell that made people sick to smell it.
"Everyone, be careful. There is miasma in the swamp. Don't get too close. Also, try to walk along the place where trees grow. The trees grow on the hard ground..." Yu Xiufan reminded again that these days, he It really took a lot of hard work.
After everyone carefully walked along the swamp for more than two miles, a large lush thorn bush appeared in front of them, raging wildly, using their spiked stems to crowd out other surrounding shrubs. place.
Most people would be intimidated by the dense thorns and would not go any further. They did not expect that Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi could find a way here.
There was a hint of surprise in everyone's expressions. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi, two spoiled young masters, were quite meticulous in their work.
"Hey," Yu Xiufan couldn't keep quiet for a few seconds, then touched his nose and said, "That day I planned to hunt a rabbit to eat, but I watched the rabbit go through the thorns, and then I luckily found the rabbit. Small road..."
When he saw the gray rabbit walking safely through the thorn bushes without getting stuck in the swamp, he realized that there might not be a swamp behind these thorn bushes, and hurriedly called Chang Huaixi over.
The thorns in this area are both hard and extremely resilient. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to cut off some of the thorns, but they suddenly discovered that there was a cave behind the thorns...
Yu Xiufan roughly told what happened that day, and everyone couldn't help but laugh. This can be regarded as a fool's blessing.
Chang Huaixi shook his head speechlessly in his heart, this Yu Xiufan really can talk about everything...
The two young masters used their scabbards to sweep away a clump of camouflaged thorns. Then, a winding path between the thorns appeared in front of everyone. This path was covered with weeds. Although it is narrow, it is enough for two or three people to walk side by side. Because there are thorn bushes on both sides of the road, so at first glance, this trail is hidden among the thorn bushes, and no one has ever noticed it.
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai were both overjoyed and exchanged glances quickly.
"Xiao Fanzi, lead the way."
In Xiao Yi's clear voice, they got on their horses again.
As Xiu Fan led the way at the front, others filed in closely behind, walking along the path. In the breeze, the green grass sent horses hooves, and the figures of the people were looming in the smoke, and soon they were gone. Disappeared...
After walking for nearly half an hour, Yu Xiufan, who was leading the way, pointed to a small forest in front of him and said, "Brother, after passing this small forest, there is an official road."
However, the map in the hands of Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi only focused on the area around Yanding City, so they were not sure where they were.
This area is war-torn, and the official road is now deserted, with no one around. Even if Yu Xiufan wanted to find someone to ask for directions, there would be no one to ask...
The group of people quickly passed through the small forest, then stopped at the official road and dismounted again.
This official road is large enough for two carriages to run parallel to each other. Both ends of the road extend straight into the distance, with no end in sight. It was noon, the sun was scorching, and the golden sunlight made the ground seem to glow, which was a bit dazzling.
Guan Yubai silently observed the surrounding environment, looking at the direction of the sun for a while, and then looking at the shadows on the ground, thoughtfully, and then pointed to one end of the official road and said: "This official road It should lead to Dengli City."
Dengli City? ! Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi looked at each other. They were happy at first, but then they thought that they didn't know how far away from Dengli City was. If it was too far, they might not be able to have a surprise attack effect...
Guan Yubai seemed to have discovered something, and strode towards the middle of the official road. Everyone looked at him.
Guanyu squatted down in his white robe and looked at several clear tracks on the ground. The deep grooves were clearly visible. He half-closed his eyes, took out a handkerchief, picked up some soil, and twisted it a few times.
Xiao Yi walked up to him and asked, "Xiao Bai, what did you find?"
Xiao Bai... Chang Huaixi's eyes twitched, and he suddenly felt that his title of Xiao Xizi was actually quite good.
Guan Yubai handed the handkerchief to Xiao Si and said slowly: "These rut marks are different from other rut marks. They should have been left in recent days..."
Everyone thought of something, and when they were refreshed, Yu Xiufan blurted out: "Could it be left behind by people from Nanliang?"
Guan Yubai measured the ground with his fingers and said, "It should be. The track gauge of Nanliang's carriage is different from our Dayu's carriage. With such deep track marks, their carriage may not be able to be installed. There are few things. There are several track marks left here. It seems that their carriage must have gone back and forth on this official road several times in the past few months..."
Xiao Yi said with a smile on his face: "So, this official road should be the only place that people from Nanliang must pass through." Since it is the track mark left by the carriage, then most of the goods transported in the carriage are materials , either weapons, military supplies, or food and grass...
No matter which one it is, there is a lot of potential for them!
Today’s trip was really fruitful!
For a while, everyone was smiling.
Not many people came today. If this official road was really used by Nanliang, staying for a long time would only scare the people. So, Xiao Yi ordered to return the same way. We will make other plans after we return to Yanding City.
After walking through it in the morning, both humans and horses knew the way back, and walked out of this trail in half the time it took to go back. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi skillfully disguised the entrance to the path...
At this time, Xiao Hui's cry suddenly came from the air above, attracting everyone to follow the sound. Xiao Hui, who was hovering high in the sky, seemed to have discovered something and dived in a certain direction.
Yu Xiufan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother, did Xiao Hui find some prey and hunt it?" As he said, he swallowed with salivation, "I'll go take a look, maybe I can return it I can get some light from Xiao Hui and eat some game..."
Yu Xiufan quickly got on the horse, then clamped the horse's belly, accelerated the horse's speed, and eagerly chased Xiao Hui towards the woods. Chang Huaixi hesitated for a moment, then rode his horse to follow.
Xiao Yi smiled and said to Guan Yubai: "Xiao Bai, let's take a look, maybe there will be roasted pheasant to eat again today..."
Before he finished speaking, he and Fu Yunhe rushed out like lightning with their men and horses. Guan Yubai looked at the four young men in bright clothes and angry horses in front of him with a smile, but he followed behind them unhurriedly, as if Traveling in autumn is generally pleasant and relaxing. Xiaosi was still following Guan Yubai like a shadow.
The business that came out today has been taken care of, and everyone feels a lot more relaxed.
Yu Xiufan, who was walking at the front, chased Xiao Hui in mid-air and galloped for a certain distance before he saw Xiao Hui hovering at the entrance of the woods, making clear cries from time to time.
Yu Xiufan lowered his gaze slightly and discovered that there was an old man and a young man standing under some big trees below Xiao Hui. To be precise, they should be an old man and a girl.
Due to the distance, he could not see the faces of the two people clearly for a while. He only saw that the old man and the young man were both wearing blue clothes and carrying a bamboo basket on their backs.
Yu Xiufan subconsciously let out a sigh, letting the horse slow down. He squinted slightly, feeling that the girl seemed familiar.
Chang Huaixi, who was behind him, also saw the two men and drove his horse to Yu Xiufan's side, squinting his eyes alertly. Although these two people look like just ordinary old and young people, single and weak, Yanding City was occupied by Nanliang before. Now the people in the city dare not leave the city at will, and people from other towns also dare not go there. Come here. Besides, here in the wilderness, what are the old and the young doing here? !
Thinking of the Nanliang envoys who had come to Yanding City a few days ago, Chang Huaixi became more and more wary.
Could these two be Nanliang spies?
"Your Majesty..."
Chang Huaixi was about to turn around and ask Xiao Yi for help, so that he and Yu Xiufan could go over to find out what was going on first, but he heard the girl in green in front of her pointing at Xiao Hui in the air and shouting: "Xiao Hui, you are Xiao Hui." Hui, right?...Grandpa, this must be Yue'er's little Hui."
Chang Huaixi swallowed her unspoken words. This girl knew that the prince’s eagle was called Xiao Hui. Could it be that this young man and the young man were acquaintances of the prince? !
