The night is quiet, the autumn wind is rustling, and the atmosphere in the yard is slightly condensed.

"Ayi, I remember that Sun Shoubei committed suicide in the city, right?" Guan Yubai interjected.

"Not bad."

When it comes to the war between the two countries, Xiao Yi's face lost his usual carelessness, and his expression became serious. There was a bit of solemnity in his expression, and he slowly said——

In May of this year, Nanliang sent tens of thousands of troops to take advantage of Baiyue and raided Yongjia City and Dengli City. The two cities defended Nanliang for less than two days before they surrendered. The two cities moved with lightning speed. After falling into the hands of the enemy, the morale of Nanliang's army was greatly boosted, and they marched northward with overwhelming momentum. An army of 20,000 was caught off guard and came to the city and declared war on Yanding City.

After the generals in the city learned that Yongjia City and Dengli City had surrendered to Nanliang, their military morale was also disorganized. Nearly half of the generals proposed to use Yanding City's existing 5,000 troops to fight against Nanliang's 20,000 army. It was undoubtedly an egg against a stone, so it was better to surrender. , to avoid the loss of life.

But the garrison Sun Xiuneng was unyielding and refused to surrender. He even pointed out that Yanding City, Yongjia City, Dengli City and Huiling City were the defense lines in the southeast of southern Xinjiang. Once Yanding City surrendered to Nanliang, Huiling City would be alone. If there is no chance, it may even lead to the Nanliang army taking advantage of the situation to capture Huiling City and connect the four cities to one line. If this is the case, the southern border is in danger. When the iron hoofs of the barbarian aliens march northward, occupy our land and kill my people, then they will become the sinners of the southern border and the entire Dayu!

Sun Xiuneng said resolutely that even if the battle was bound to be defeated, the Nanliang army must be dragged on for several days to buy Huiling City time to ask for help!

So, under the call and leadership of Sun Xiuneng, the five thousand defenders and civilians in the city participated in the defense of the city with one heart and one mind. They held on for three days and three nights and fought to the last breath. In the end, they could not withstand the twenty thousand soldiers of Nanliang. The army besieged them, and out of 5,000 soldiers, less than 300 remained...

In this tragic and desolate atmosphere, even Xiao Yi's voice seemed a bit vicissitudes of life: "The disciples of the Sun family died in battle one after another, and Sun Xiuneng drew his sword on the city wall and committed suicide when the city was broken. After hearing the news of the city's destruction, his wife, Mrs. Sun, and several daughters-in-law and girls of the Sun family also committed suicide by hanging themselves in the garrison... "To avoid being humiliated by the enemy, life would be worse than death!"

Even if you have never witnessed these things with your own eyes, just listening to them makes you feel tragic. Everyone has solemn expressions, as if the temperature around them has dropped sharply.

"After Yanding City was recaptured, when Li Shoubei ordered people to clean up the garrison mansion, they discovered the scarred body of a two-year-old child in a dry well in the backyard. His body had decomposed, and only his clothes were visible. From his appearance, he can be roughly judged to be Sun Xiuneng's eldest grandson who is only two years old and his only grandson..." As he spoke, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Fu Yunhe said: "President Jing Qian and Sun Shoubei have known each other for many years. Before we found the body of the eldest grandson of the Sun family, we thought that the Sun family might still have a line of incense left in the world. Unexpectedly, the Sun family's Everyone died with the city...only Miss Sun escaped by chance." He frowned slightly, his expression solemn.

Han Qixia couldn't help but interjected: "In other words... Miss Sun is the only one left in the Sun family..."

Han Qixia knew that Sun Xinyi was the eldest daughter of the Sun family, and her parents were both dead. She also roughly knew that many of her relatives had been affected by the war, but she did not expect that Sun Xinyi's condition was even more tragic than she thought...

Everyone in the world attaches great importance to continuing the family tradition. Sun Xiuneng now only has one daughter left, and the Sun family has also lost its relationship with the family.

As he spoke, the courtyard became quiet again, and everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts.

Only Guan Yubai's expression was indifferent, and he suddenly asked: "The grandson of the Sun family died in the well, what about the other people in the Sun family?"

Fu Yunhe thought hard and vaguely remembered hearing it from Mr. Jing Qian, so he said: "Mrs. Sun, her daughter-in-law, daughter, and aunts gathered in the main hall of the garrison mansion and committed suicide by hanging from the beam. Mr. Marquis, is there any problem? ”

Guan Yubai picked up the white porcelain cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Everyone in the Sun family died in the main hall, but his eldest grandson died alone in the dry well... ”

Xiao Yi raised his brows and looked at Guan Yubai thoughtfully, his peach blossom eyes half-squinted.

Nangong Yue thought thoughtfully and said: "When Mrs. Sun took the whole family to hang herself, she left only her eldest grandson. It should be to leave a bloodline for the Sun family. However, the eldest grandson did not escape this disaster and died in the In the dry well...didn't Mrs. Sun leave anyone reliable to look after him?" She always felt that something was wrong.

"The deceased is gone." Han Qixia sighed and said, "I only pity Miss Sun, now she is alone and helpless."

The courtyard couldn't help but be silent for a moment. The first person to speak was Guan Yubai, but then he changed the topic and said, "Ayi, are you going to put out grain tomorrow?"

Xiao Yi nodded: "The grain release notice was posted yesterday."

The original rule for stocking grain in Yanding City was to put out a batch of grain every time it arrived, but Guan Yubai felt that it was impossible to better control the grain stock in the city. After a secret conversation between him and Xiao Yi, the two The people decided that from now on, food would be released every five days, and the new rules would be implemented from tomorrow.

Of course Fu Yunhe also knew this new rule, and he mused: "This batch of food and grass this time is probably enough to last Yanding City for more than a month." As he spoke, there was a bit of complacency in his tone. Come on, this batch of grain that will be released tomorrow was once again led by the thousand soldiers of the Divine Arm Battalion to **** it back from the Nanliang people. Just like the first time, no one from the Divine Arm Battalion died in the battle. This alone is enough. Enough to make Fu Yunhe proud for a long time!

Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said enthusiastically: "Ayi, shall I go to help tomorrow?" It was a time when Yanding City was short of manpower. Since she was here, she couldn't come in vain. She hoped that she could do her best He helped Xiao Yi handle affairs in the city and relieved him of his worries.

"Yue'er, there hasn't been much going on in the wounded barracks lately, so why don't I join you to help." Han Qixia responded hurriedly.

Xiao Yi never knew how to reject Nangong Yue. He really wanted to be with his stinky girl all the time, but he just couldn't find the time recently...

"Xiao Hezi," Xiao Yi thought for a while, then turned to Fu Yunhe and said, "Tomorrow you will go and help your sister-in-law, and...by the way, call Xiao Fanzi and the others." Give more people. If the stinky girl strikes him, he won't tire out his stinky girl.

Xiao Yi did not say anything explicitly, but secretly gave Fu Yunhe a wink.

Why didn't Fu Yunhe understand Xiao Yi's intentions? Naturally, he followed his eldest brother's orders. He sat with a smile and clasped his fists and said, "Yes, eldest brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lin Jingchen greeting him: "Everyone, hurry up and eat. The dishes are almost cold. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after eating..."

Han Qixia smiled sheepishly. It was all because of her that she disturbed everyone's interest in dining. Another day, she would still make a sumptuous meal to apologize to everyone.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks again. Although the food was a little cold, they still ate with gusto.

Guan Yubai looked back at Xiaosi, who was still concentrating on feeding Han Yu, and the smile on his face became a little more gentle.

Xiao Si was so focused that he didn’t pay attention to what Xiao Yi and the others just said...

Although Han Yu who was placed in the basket was as thin and pitiful as a chicken, he ate raw meat with great vigor. He swallowed a diced piece of meat in one bite, feeling hungry and thirsty, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Feng Xing yawned as he watched. He picked up a diced meat out of boredom and threw it towards Han Yu without any warning. He even deliberately missed it by half an inch, but right before the tender beak of the diced meat, he yawned. As it flew forward, Han Yu turned his head sharply and swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing Xiaosi glaring at him, Feng Xing sighed without saying anything: "Han Yu is indeed an eagle!" As he said, he rolled his eyes and said quibblely, "Xiaosi, Hanyu is an eagle, so don’t raise it like a chicken!... It’s difficult for a domesticated eagle to fly!"

His words are almost cruel, but they are true.

The mother eagle still needs to throw the eaglet off the cliff to let it learn to fly. It can be seen that "flying" is the real coming-of-age ceremony for the eagle!

Either you become an eagle or you become a chicken.

Xiaosi also understood this truth, frowned and fell silent.

At this time, Lily couldn't help but walked over, grabbed a handful of minced meat and fed it to Han Yu, and said angrily: "Xiao Si, don't pay attention to Feng Xing. Han Yu is still so young!...Besides, With Xiao Hui here, you're still afraid that Han Yu won't be able to fly!" At least they have raised an eagle, okay!

Seeing that Han Yu was eating with gusto, Lily looked at the last piece of meat in her hand, looked at it curiously, and asked casually: "What kind of meat is this?" It didn't look like pork, nor was it. Horse meat, beef, rabbit meat...not even chicken...

Xiao Si replied expressionlessly: "Rat meat."

The two words made Lily almost jump up, and threw away the diced meat in her hand in disgust. ah! She hates rats and maggots the most, such shady things...

Xiao Si glanced at Lily indifferently. Now Yanding City is short of food. He can't feed the eagles food that people eat. Of course, it's to catch mice. He even picked it out for Han Yu. They are all meaty rats.

Almost at the same time, a gray shadow flashed past Lily, and Xiao Hui suddenly swooped down from the air and grabbed the piece of meat in one bite. It didn't eat it by itself. Instead, it stopped next to Han Yu and fed it personally, just like a mother bird feeding its chicks.

Ah woo——

Han Yu swallowed it in one gulp.

By the time Han Yu finished finishing the bowl of diced pork, Xiao Yi and the others had also swept away the food on the table, which was as clean as if it had been washed. The maid neatly took away the dinner dishes. Dishes, chopsticks, and some tea.

There is no good tea in Yanding City. These teas are prepared by Lin Jingchen using various herbs. They are best for digestion and sleep aid.

While drinking tea, everyone watched this scene with great interest, and their mood became lighter...

After drinking tea, the night sky was already pitch black, with the moon above the willow branches.

Everyone said goodbye to Lin Jingchen and Han Qixia and returned to their respective residences.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi also returned to their house. As for Xiao Hui, he ran away with Han Yu again.

After Nangong Yue took a bath and changed clothes, there was still no sign of Xiao Hui coming back. Lily couldn't help complaining again, and then left with Baihui.

Nangong Yue only found it funny and couldn't help but cover her mouth and said with a smile: "Ayi, it seems that you have really found a little wife for Xiao Hui."

She winked at Xiao Yi through the bronze mirror in a funny way. Xiao Yi liked to see Nangong Yue smile because of him. He liked to see her smile from the heart, which made him feel happy. A pair of peach blossom eyes smiled like a crescent moon.

He blinked deliberately, and then said: "That's my vision, do you need to say that?" His eyes were blazing, a little showy, a little showy, as if to say, look, I I chose such a good little daughter-in-law for myself a few years ago, and she definitely has first-class taste!

Nangong Yue didn’t just meet him today, so she couldn’t understand his eyes. She felt sweet in her heart and had a faint blush on her cheeks. She felt a little embarrassed and stood up, avoiding the shadow in the bronze mirror. Her eyes were so bright that she almost didn't dare to look directly into them.

Xiao Yi took the opportunity to step forward, hugged her slender waist from behind, put his chin on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Smelly girl, why don't you answer my question?"

His warm breath blew on her earlobes, as if adding fuel to the fire. The faint blush on her cheeks spread in the blink of an eye, becoming even redder, and even her earlobes became red and delicate.

She is like a half-opened flower that will bloom completely soon...

Xiao Yi couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and his heart was burning.

Nangong Yue didn’t know what Xiao Yi was thinking. She tried hard to suppress her pounding heartbeat, took a deep breath, and said, "I think my vision is better!" As she said that, the corners of her mouth could not help but raise. High, a shallow pear dimple escaped from the lips.

How lucky she is to have the opportunity to start over again; how lucky she is to find someone who shares her mind among hundreds of millions of people!

Xiao Yi stood there stupidly, unable to react for a while, but the smile on his face had already overflowed like a river bursting its banks, and his heart was surging.

He hugged Nangong Yue's slender waist harder and buried his face in her shoulder.

"Ayue..." He called her name softly, like a feather brushing over her heart. His voice was a little muffled because of his posture buried in her shoulder, "I lost..."

Nangong Yue was stunned, not understanding what he meant, and turned to look at him. The next moment, she saw him raise his head, his shining peach blossom eyes met hers, and he gave her a charming kiss. She winked and said: "You are so good at sweet-talking, I have to work harder!"

Nangong Yue was stunned again, and then couldn't help laughing.

Ayi is always so happy to be with her!

Suddenly, Xiao Yi's voice became a little deeper, and his tone was firm, and he said: "Ayue, I will go home soon!"

He will fight off Nanliang, he will protect their home, and he will go back to see her safely!

Nangong Yue turned around, took the initiative to hug his waist, buried her face in his chest, and thought to herself: He is so self-effacing. Compared with him, she is really far behind...

The night got deeper unconsciously...

Early the next morning, when Nangong Yue woke up, her side was already empty, and Yu Wen was not there.

Maybe she was really tired yesterday, so she slept so deeply that she didn't even know when Xiao Yi left.

When Baihui and Lily heard the noise in the room, they walked in to help Nangong Yue get up.

After Nangong Yue sat up, she found a piece of white cloth in her hand. Looking at the rough edges of the cloth, it seemed that someone had cut it with a knife...

Nangong Yue was still a little sleepy, but she suddenly woke up.

Baihui and Lily also saw it, and the two sisters looked at each other. Could it be that the prince's concubine pressed down on the prince's sleeve, and the prince was reluctant to wake up the prince's concubine, so he had to cut off one sleeve?

Lily's eyes were shining. She didn't expect the prince to be such a considerate person. She must teach their Arlando to be like the prince when she returns home!

Who would have thought, but Nangong Yue said: "It's not the sleeves."

Xiao Yi's middle coats are all cut and sewn by her own hands, and she knows best what materials they are made of. The piece of cloth in her hand was probably cut by Xiao Yi from somewhere and stuffed into her hand.

Lily took a closer look, and sure enough, it was just the simplest piece of cotton cloth.

She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "That's right, the prince concubine made the middle coat, and the prince is reluctant to cut it!"

The corner of Nangong Yue’s mouth curled up, Lily was right about this sentence.

Lily couldn't help but ask again: "Prince Concubine, why did the Crown Prince put a piece of cloth into your hand?"

Nangong Yue smiled without saying a word, stood up and said, "Please help me dress up."

She pursed her lips with a smile, held the piece of white cloth in her hand, and was reluctant to put it down. She knew that Ayi was telling her that he was reluctant to wake her up, but had to leave first.

Nangong Yue was in a good mood and energetic early in the morning, and yesterday's fatigue was wiped away.

At half past midnight, she and Han Qixia set off from the garrison mansion, and Fu Yunhe diligently served as flower protectors for the two of them.

When they arrived near the city gate, it was not yet midnight. In the blue sky, the rising sun hangs high, and the sunshine shines down warmly.

From a distance, I saw several people busy at the city gate. Nowadays, most of the people in the city have no livelihood, so the Southern Xinjiang Army often hires people to help repair the city walls, dismantle walls, transport bricks, build urn forts... and like today's grain distribution, they invite some women to come and help.

At this moment, four or five women in coarse cloth dresses were setting up some tables and chairs, and working together to install a simple pergola, with a bamboo pole as the frame and a huge stone blue oilcloth as the roof. Live the sun above.

Nangong Yue and Han Qixia subconsciously slowed down their horses, and at a glance they saw a familiar figure among the women helping in front of them.

It was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a simple blue dress with a simple black tie on her arm. Except for a few blue ribbons on her hair, she had no jewelry on her body. She seemed to be dressed like an ordinary civilian woman, but her elegant manners and beautiful face seemed out of place with the other women around her and this simple arbor.

After Nangong Yue and Han Qixia dismounted, they walked side by side. Han Qixia shouted to the familiar slender figure: "Miss Sun!"

Sun Xinyi turned around. The moment she saw Nangong Yue and Han Qixia, her face showed obvious surprise. Then she took a few steps forward and was about to salute, but was stopped by Baihui with her sharp eyes and quick hands. Nangong Yue She smiled slightly and said: "Miss Sun, I am traveling in casual clothes today, so there is no need to be polite."

Sun Xinyi was not an ignorant person, so she immediately changed her words in a good-natured manner: "Mrs. Xiao, Miss Han, I didn't expect you two to come too." Her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, making people feel like the breeze in the morning, just right.

After a pause, she took the initiative to explain: "I accidentally heard someone say that the prince is going to release grain today, and I thought that since I have nothing to do, I might as well come over and do something for the people in the city..."

"Miss Sun, you are really thoughtful..." Han Qixia nodded slightly in agreement.

Yes, instead of thinking about things alone at home, it is better to keep yourself busy. Recalling that she had been unable to sleep at night when she first arrived in southern Xinjiang, it was her grandfather who freed her from self-pity. It would be great for Miss Sun to understand this.

Before Han Qixia finished her words, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind again...

Everyone followed the sound and saw two handsome young men galloping towards this side, running wildly. In fact, the street was wide enough for four or five horses to run parallel, but the two horses were galloping too fast. , so startled that several passers-by subconsciously moved to both sides of the street to avoid it.

One of the two young men on the horse was smiling, while the other had a dark face. They were Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi.

Yu Xiufan's black horse suddenly stopped three or four feet away, its two front hooves raised high, and the horse neighed. Yu Xiufan was very good at riding. He turned over without a blush and jumped off his horse. He strode forward and said with a smile on his face, "Sister-in-law, Miss Han, I'm sorry, we're a step late."

Chang Huaixi was a step slower than him, and followed closely. His face was still not very good, and he quickly glanced at Baihui behind Nangong Yue. Of course he still remembers Baihui...

The scene that happened in Luoyue City a few months ago seems to still be before our eyes.
