I don’t know how long it took, but Nangong Yue suddenly woke up in the darkness. Her first thought was, what time is it now?
What she saw was darkness and silence. The darkness was originally unsettling, but the next moment, the familiar smell lingering in her nose calmed her down immediately.
Ayi is here.
Head to head, shoulder to shoulder, breaths intertwined with each other, heartbeats pounding to a certain rhythm.
You and I were born in the same quilt and died in the same coffin. That’s what it feels like.
"What's wrong?" He hadn't woken up yet, and his voice was a little hoarse and confused. As he spoke, he tightened his arms and held the girl in his arms tightly into his arms, feeling in his heart Sighing with satisfaction, his hazy eyes gradually sobered up...
Nangong Yue did not intend to wake him up, especially since he was about to go on an expedition. This was the time when he needed sleep and rest the most. He quickly comforted him in a gentle voice: "It's nothing. Ayi, the time has not come yet, why don't you come again?" Get some sleep."
Xiao Yi blinked, only to wake up completely in an instant.
He is a martial arts practitioner, and he is at his most energetic age. After just a short rest, he was full of energy.
At this moment, the surroundings were dark, but his black eyes were shining in the darkness, shining like cold stars.
"Stinky girl, are you thirsty?" As he said that, he propped up his body and lit the ram's horn palace lantern beside the couch. The candle flame gave off a dim yellow light in the palace lantern, and fell softly on him. Originally, The ribbon **** in his hair became loose at some point, hanging feebly on his hair, and his satin-like black hair was half loose, draped messily on his shoulders.
Nangong Yue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and she nodded blankly.
Xiao Yi picked up a teapot from the table next to the couch, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her hand.
Nangong Yue also sat up holding the thin quilt, holding a small white porcelain cup, feeling warm in her heart...
At this time, a loud rooster crow suddenly sounded outside, breaking the calm of dawn and making Nangong Yue's hand holding the cup pause in mid-air.
The young couple looked at each other and took a step closer when they both knew they were leaving.
The room fell silent, and Nangong Yue said gently: "Ayi, I'll wait for you to wash up..."
When the rooster crows at the fifth watch, the sky outside becomes white, but every corner of the garrison is already brightly lit.
Everyone in the mansion knew that the Crown Prince was going to lead an army on an expedition today, so they all performed their duties and prepared.
Nangong Yue carefully personally served Xiao Yi to put on the gold silk inner armor outside the middle coat, then the outer robe, and then the silver armor...
Obviously it was a simple matter, but it became difficult because of Xiao Yi's care.
"Ayi!" Nangong Yue raised her voice slightly helplessly. This took more than a stick of incense and she hadn't even put on her clothes yet. The army is about to set off at 3 o'clock. If they delay any longer, they won't even have time to have a good breakfast!
Xiao Yi reluctantly kissed her on the other cheek again, and finally took a half step back obediently, flattening her mouth in grievance. She looked worse than a little girl who couldn't eat candy. Poor... No, she is not candy!
Nangong Yue shook her head in her mind. If she was not careful, she would be led astray by Xiao Yi.
She tried her best to put on a straight face, and this time, she finally put on the silver armor for him without anyone interfering.
Inside and outside, the three maids have been waiting for a long time. They knew that Xiao Yi was about to go on an expedition, and they calculated that the masters would probably get up at the rooster's crow time, so they waited in the main room early.
The candles in the inner room lit up as they expected...
However, the time it took for the masters to get up to wash and change clothes took much longer than they expected. Lily counted the time silently in her mind, it must have been about half an hour, the prince was so good at it!
Lily moved her lips, wanting to ask her cousin if she could just warm the breakfast, but she swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips, so that her cousin wouldn't dislike her for talking too much, but she didn't know that Baihui was also talking to her. I thought about it for a while.
Baihui glanced in the direction of the door curtain and was about to speak when she heard the sound of the curtain being lifted. Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue finally came out of the house.
Lily's sharp eyes rested on Nangong Yue's slightly red and swollen lips for a moment, and she thought: Sure enough...
As soon as the master came out, Baihui and Huamei neatly took out the prepared meals from the food boxes and laid them out in a few seconds.
Originally breakfast does not need to be too substantial, but considering that Xiao Yi is traveling today, it is estimated that there will not be anything good for lunch and dinner today, so Nangong Yue yesterday told the kitchen to prepare a meal this morning Hearty breakfast.
Stewed pheasant with mushrooms, fish in casserole, grilled rabbit with cumin, scrambled eggs with leek and shrimp skin, cold sesame wild vegetables...
The pheasants and hares were caught by Xiao Hui, and the fish were specially caught by Lin Jingchen.
As soon as Xiao Yi saw it, he knew that this was specially prepared for him by Nangong Yue. He glanced at Nangong Yue with a smile on his face, then expressed his support with the most direct action, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.
Nangong Yue also picked up the chopsticks and started eating gracefully.
On the dining table, I saw one gobbling down food while the other was elegant and graceful, with the latter serving dishes to the former from time to time.
Bai Hui couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, the masters were still like this. From the beginning of Ming and Ming Dynasties, it seemed that the two of them were completely different in temperament and behavior, but they always revealed a wonderful sense of harmony inadvertently.
The three maids wisely stepped aside and did not disturb their master's meal.
By the time Xiao Yi finished his breakfast, it was already half past midnight.
It was only half an hour before departure. Even if Xiao Yi was reluctant to leave, he had to stand up and the two of them walked towards the gate together.
Guan Yubai and Fu Yunhe are already waiting at the gate. Although they will not go out with Xiao Yi's army this time, they will go to the city gate to see him off today.
Zhuzhu has prepared Xiao Yi's horse Black Clouds and Snow, and is waiting there. He has also put on a battle robe and armor. His face that usually still has the childish look of a boy looks a bit more heroic. the taste of.
Xiao Yi jumped onto his horse neatly, and then couldn't help but look back at Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue smiled slightly, still as before, telling him with her eyes and smile: A Yi, I'm waiting for you to come back!
Xiao Yi also smiled and replied silently: Wait for me!
He clamped the horse's belly, no longer caring about his children, and took the lead to ride out of the house. Guan Yubai, Fu Yunhe and Zhuzi followed closely behind, their horse hooves flying.
Although he did not look back, Xiao Yi also knew that Nangong Yue had been watching him leave until he turned out of Yong'an Street...
After turning the corner, the dark cloud under Xiao Yi's crotch ran faster on the snow, almost leading the way.
Fu Yunhe and Zhuzi in the back looked at Xiao Yi's slightly stiff back and exchanged glances with each other. Especially Zhuzi, who really wiped away tears of sympathy for his eldest son: Ever since his wedding to his eldest concubine, the days they spent together There are only a handful of them, and God has treated the Crown Prince badly... No, God has blessed the Crown Prince to marry the Crown Princess, and it’s all because of those **** Nanliang people!
Thinking about it, Zhuzi suddenly shuddered at the Nanliang people. Based on his understanding of the prince, he would definitely put all the blame on the Nanliang people and go on a killing spree!
Seeing that the distance between him and Xiao Yi was getting farther and farther, Zhuzi didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and speeded up his horse to catch up.
The group of people went all the way without stopping. When they arrived at the gate of Yanding City, it was still a quarter of an hour before Chen Shi. Many people from Yanding City gathered near the city gate. They also learned that the Crown Prince was going to fight, and they came to see him off one by one. Everyone's eyes could not hide the excitement: The Crown Prince led his troops to fight. Dengli City is not only to regain their southern territory, but also to avenge the people who died in their Yanding City!
When Xiao Yi's horse drove through the street, I don't know who was the first to kneel down. Immediately afterwards, other people also knelt down, and they all fell to the ground with such pious and tragic expressions.
They were kneeling to Xiao Yi and to God, hoping that God would help the prince defeat Nanliang during his trip.
On the other side of the city gate, a group of generals were waiting there. Some of them were going to go out with Xiao Yi, while others were staying behind to guard the city or on standby.
Twenty thousand troops wearing bronze helmets and iron armor were already lined up and ready to go. They were neatly arranged in a huge square formation. The end was almost invisible at a glance. Just standing there released a fierce murderous aura. They are all ready to go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy and take back their Nanliang city...
Half an hour later, the army gradually moved away under the leadership of Xiao Yi, leaving only the farewell generals standing there, looking at the dust rising in the distance, unwilling to leave for a long time...
"Master Li!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Guan Yubai suddenly said.
Li Shoubei, Su Yuming, Zheng Shenjiang and others all looked at Guan Yubai. Guan Yubai pulled the rope and turned the horse around, and said lightly: "After half an hour, let's The generals who are left behind to guard Yanding City go to the garrison to discuss military matters!"
Li Shoubei was stunned for a moment, but before he could respond, Guan Yubai nodded at him slightly and took the lead in riding away. Xiaosi beside him naturally drove his horse to follow him in a hurry, always being the most loyal shadow of the young master.
Li Shoubei looked at Guan Yubai's leaving figure with a heavy gaze, his face was as dark as water, but he said nothing, but those young and energetic young generals were not so calm.
"Master Li," a young man with a square face clenched the hand holding the horse's rope and said angrily, "As soon as the prince left, the An Yihou blatantly summoned the generals. What do you think he meant? !" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and two clusters of fire ignited in his eyes.
"Captain Yu Qi, what else can this mean?!" Another young general sneered, "You are not just trying to seize power!"
"This An Yihou is really bullying people too much! First he forced the prince to hand over power to him, and now he is pressing harder..." A middle-aged soldier with a beard frowned.
"Master Li, we have to show this An Yihou some color!" Yu Xingrui gritted his teeth and said again. If I don't give this person a good show of strength, I'm afraid this An Yihou will fly into the sky!
Li Shoubei frowned and hurriedly advised: "Xiao Yu, don't be impulsive... Have you forgotten the prince's instructions before he left?" After all, An Yihou was sent by the emperor, and he is the prince. I personally entrusted the affairs of the Three Cities to his hands, so I have to see how he behaves...
Yu Xingrui was silent for a moment and nodded stiffly, "Master Li, I understand."
Yu Xingrui seemed to be convinced and behaved like a child in front of Li Shoubei. However, he turned his head and secretly exchanged glances with the people around him. They all nodded knowingly.
Not far away, Xiaosi slowed down his horse slightly and looked behind him.
Those people did not deliberately suppress their voices. With the sharp ears and eyesight of a martial arts practitioner, Xiaosi could hear clearly clearly. He squinted slightly, and a cold light flashed in his dark pupils...
Feeling that Xiao Si behind him was lagging behind, Guan Yubai also pulled the horse rope, slowed down the horse, turned to look at him, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Xiao Si?"
"Young Master..." Xiaosi said hurriedly, trying to tell Guan Yubai something, but was stopped by Guan Yubai's understanding but nonchalant smile.
"Let's go back."
Five words can soothe Xiao Si's slightly impetuous heart. Xiao Si likes these five words the most. For him, wherever the young master is, it is his home.
In his eyes, the young master is omnipotent!
Since the young master doesn't care, Xiaosi will not keep the external disturbances in his heart, and follows Guan Yubai back to the garrison mansion with his hands under the horse's belly.
As soon as the two returned to the garrison mansion, they saw a young captain coming up to them with a smile on their face, which was in sharp contrast to the expressions of Li Shoubei and others.
"Master Hou," the other party greeted Guanyu Bai with fists in a warm and respectful salute. It was Li Yunqi, "Prince Xiao has already set off?"
"Captain Li, no courtesy." Guan Yubai said with a smile, nodded in agreement, his attitude was gentle but also revealed a trace of alienation.
Li Yunqi, who was in a good mood, didn't take it seriously.
Today Xiao Yi went on an expedition. All the generals in the city felt heavy in their hearts. Only Li Yunqi felt relieved. He clasped his fists and said to Guan Yubai: "Master Marquis, you will be in charge of the three cities of Yanding, Huiling and Yongjia. I must be busy with matters. If there is anything useful for the general, please give me your instructions." As he said that, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Although the Prince of Zhennan has a naughty temper, he sometimes gets up to do things. He did whatever he wanted and took the wrong approach, but he actually abided by the emperor's orders. He went on the expedition himself and let An Yihou handle the affairs of the three cities. No wonder the emperor would let Prince Xiao return to southern Xinjiang...
Guan Yubai smiled lightly and said: "Thank you very much for Colonel Li's kindness. If there is any need for Colonel Lieutenant, I will not be polite." After a pause, he said again, "I will I have just taken charge of all affairs in the three cities, and there are still many official duties, so I will leave first."
After dismissing Li Yunqi in a few words, Guan Yubai and Xiaosi continued to walk towards the main hall, one in front and the other in the back, their shadows merged into one on the ground...
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, but the main hall of the garrison mansion was still empty and sparsely populated.
Except for Guan Yubai, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, only Li Shoubei, Zheng Shenjiang, Fu Yunhe and a few sporadic generals arrived, including Su Yuming, who was defeated by Guan Yubai last time.
Li Shoubei and Zheng Shenjiang looked at each other and exchanged a look, with some worry in their eyes.
I didn’t expect Yu Xingrui and the others to be so bold. This is too disrespectful to An Yihou... If An Yihou becomes angry and has not officially started a war with Nanliang, and their Southern Xinjiang army starts fighting among themselves, what should they do? !
Li Shoubei frowned and felt extremely heavy.
Guan Yubai calmly put down the tea cup in his hand, then took out a golden token from his arms and placed it gently on the table.
Li Shoubei, Zheng Shenjiang, Su Yuming and others all shrank their pupils and almost stood up without losing their composure.
Why is the prince's token in the hands of An Yihou? !
This is the token that represents the identity of the Crown Prince. There is only one in the world. Seeing an order is like seeing a person.
Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, Guan Yubai still had a calm expression and raised his voice slightly: "Here comes someone!"
A soldier in armor strode in and performed a military salute.
Guan Yu Baiyun calmly ordered: "With the order of Prince Zhennan, all the generals are summoned here!"
The soldier loudly accepted the order and left.
Everyone's hearts were filled with turmoil. They didn't know whether they were surprised or suspicious. Li Shoubei and Zheng Shenjiang looked at each other again. No matter what happened this time, Yu Xingrui and others were at fault. They thought Guan Yu Bai Hui took this opportunity to establish his authority, but he didn't expect that the other party would act in the name of the Crown Prince... What exactly was An Yihou thinking? !
Although the generals were shocked and confused, no one asked.
Fu Yunhe still knew a little bit about Guan Yubai. He hesitated for a moment, then the careless smile on his face dropped, and he asked: "Master Hou, how come my eldest brother's token is in your hand? "What are your plans? !
All eyes in the main hall moved from the golden token to Guan Yubai's face. Every pair of eyes were bright, waiting for him to give them an answer.
Li Shoubei, Su Yuming and others had a vague expectation that even they didn't know existed in their hearts...
Guan Yubai said unhurriedly: "There can only be one commander-in-chief of the Southern Xinjiang Army."
This sentence is profound, and it is only ten words that succinctly express his attitude——
One army has no two masters!
The head coach of the Southern Xinjiang Army can only be Xiao Yi.
There is no doubt about this.
He is here to assist the Prince of Zhennan, not to decentralize power, nor to disintegrate the Southern Xinjiang Army.
In the main hall, there was silence for a while, and there was no sound.
Several people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other again, thinking: What does An Yihou mean that he will not act beyond the prince? But, can they believe him?
But Fu Yunhe understood: No one can force the eldest brother. This token was given to Guan Yubai voluntarily by the eldest brother, which represents his attitude. The eldest brother is willing to believe in Guan Yubai and believes that Guan Yubai can help The Southern Xinjiang Army gave a helping hand.
That's easy.
Fu Yunhe curled his lips, as long as he believed in his elder brother.
In this subtle and strange atmosphere, Yu Xingrui and other soldiers arrived one after another. They came because of the prince's token. When they see an order, they must respect the prince.
But everyone is unwilling to do so, and they are even more indignant in their hearts.
Guan Yu’s white eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and he doesn’t feel the slightest resentment because of the neglect of the generals. He has only been in Yanding City for more than a month and has made no achievements. The battle on the sand table was just talk on paper, to say the least. These people How can you easily believe in him?
Although Xiao Yi entrusted the affairs of the three cities to him in front of all the generals, Guan Yubai knew that those soldiers were actually unwilling, so he specifically chose A Yi. On the day of the expedition, the generals were summoned in order to make everyone face up to the matter and his existence, so as not to delay the military aircraft at the critical moment.
By the time Guan Yubai finished a cup of tea and all the generals had arrived and sat down, another half hour had passed.
Yu Xingrui and others were all smiling, waiting for Guanyu Baihu to reprimand them with fake authority. Unexpectedly, Guanyu Baihu’s opening remarks turned out to be——
"Although the prince has led an army to go on an expedition, the main battlefield of this battle is in Yanding City, and you are the ones who need to fight..."
There was an uproar in the huge hall. The soldiers could not believe their ears, and Su Yuming almost pinched himself.
Isn’t this too mysterious? !
