Lights on the other side

Pei Shi has been busy these days, and he can't be idle for a moment. Li Ruoci has not been able to say a few complete words to him for several days.Of course, he couldn't be idle, the flowers in front of the window had completely fallen, and Sha Bai collected the withered petals and buried them in the soil.

In the early morning, he went to Heye Zhai to buy pastries for Sha Bai. When he turned a few streets, he heard a woman's voice faintly. He didn't expect someone to sing a ditty at this time.

"Back then when I was young and blue, it was a good time... Now I go to buy tea on the front street, and the birds are buried in the thatched cottage at dusk..."

The voice was hoarse and hoarse, echoing in the somewhat empty street.Li Ruoci looked up, and the bare branches could not cover the decayed attic behind.

This place used to be a romantic place, and the frustrated literati wrote these, and the wind and sand in the troubled times have not extinguished its remaining warmth.

He didn't stop much, and went back to put a box of pastries in Sha Bai's room.

Sha Bai sat on the stool, her hair was neatly combed, she was as quiet as before, she quietly opened the box of pastries, and quietly put them in her mouth.

Lan Shan once said that by her side, it seems that the wind and rain have also calmed down, and the fighting outside has ceased, leaving only the peaceful years.

Li Ruoci thought, it was probably because Lan Shan liked Sha Bai that he felt this way.

Lanshan also has a younger sister, who is about the same age as Sha Bai, but his younger sister is in the far north, separated from him by mountains and snow.

Although he misses something, he can only stay here and guard Lizhou.

King Duan had already reached Chengzhou, and his troops were approaching the city.

Chengzhou is very close to Lizhou. In theory, Pei Shi is also in charge of the affairs of Chengzhou, so he will definitely not sit idly by.

Thinking of this, Li Ruoci took the map of the Central Five Continents from the side, spread it on the table, and began to carefully study the routes for transporting personnel and grain.

The weather has been colder recently. Although it has no effect on them, there are still [-] troops in Weizhou. They still need to keep out the cold and need supplies.

He sat at the table, biting his pen, and the afternoon passed quickly. When dusk came, the lake surface shimmered, smashing the remaining colors.

"Lin Ruoyan."

"Huh?" Li Ruoci looked up, and Pei Shi was standing outside the window, holding on to the wooden window rail.

"What are you doing?"

Li Ruoci walked over and closed the window with a "snap".

"Wow, it hurts." The window caught Pei Shi's finger.

"What's the matter?" Li Ruoci turned and walked outside the door, leaning casually on the door frame and asked.

Pei Shi gently lifted a strand of his waist-length hair, ignored his question, and asked, "Did you just wash it?"

Li Ruoci tilted his head and said, "What?"

Pei Shi leaned over and smelled it: "It smells so good."

Li Ruoci quickly pulled her hair back from his hands, and smiled, "It's just some hibiscus leaves."

"Let's have dinner together, and then we'll discuss the affairs of Chengzhou."

"Okay." Li Ruoci nodded.

The two sat at the dining table. There was only one plate of vegetables and two bowls of rice on the table. Li Ruoci raised his eyes and saw Pei Shi eating with a calm face. He thought that Pei Shi, like Xie Yun, had a fascination with food. Persistence, even at the expense of serving others in Israel, to curry favor with the little cook, just to get her to give two more hairy crabs.

He felt that Pei Shi had changed his sex so that he could be by his side and eat vegetables with him.

In the end, Pei Shi finally couldn't help it, and said with a lack of interest, "I really want to eat meat..."

Li Ruoci sighed.

In the next second, Pei Shi bit Li Ruoci's arm.

"Why do you bite people? Are you a dog?" Li Ruoci quickly supported Pei Shi's head with his hands.

After holding on for a long time, Pei Shi just let go, tilted his head and said, "Does it hurt?"

Li Ruoci said angrily, "What do you think?"

"I didn't use much force."

"I'll try to bite you?"

"Okay." There was a hint of expectation in Pei Shi's eyes, Li Ruoci quickly turned his head, feeling that Pei Shi probably lost his mind in such an environment.

Pei Shi looked satisfied, and began to pick up the dishes on the plate again.

After dinner, Pei Shi and him came to a room with warm lights, and several people were already sitting there.

Seeing them coming, one person said, "The matter in Chengzhou must be done as soon as possible."

Others also said: "That's right, they cut off the supply route on the right, and the Yuan River area will be impossible to pass."

Pei Shi looked at the map hanging on the wall, pondered for a moment, and said, "Although that's the case, we must escort them there within fifteen days. By the way, what does General Fuyuan mean?"

A bystander said: "General Fuyuan said that since the Yuanhe River has been closed, it is better to go directly to the official road of the two prefectures of Lixiong. In addition to our people, it should not be a big problem."

Li Ruoci frowned and said, "It's too risky."

Pei Shi nodded: "That's right."

The rest asked: "Then what should I do? If I go to other places, I will definitely not be able to reach it in fifteen days."

Li Ruoci said: "I think we can divide the army into two groups."

Pei Shi looked over.

Li Ruoci explained: "One way is through the official road, and the other way is to go around Baishi Mountain. Baishi Mountain is far away, and it will definitely not be there in fifteen days. But if you take the official road, you can go to Chengzhou within the specified time and make supplies first. In this way The purpose of doing this is to share risks so that the entire army will not be wiped out."

The surroundings were silent for a while, and after a long while, a voice said, "I think it's feasible. Few people would think of the road to Baishi Mountain."

Pei Shi turned around, pulled up a chair and sat down, and said, "Then let's discuss specific matters."

After the meeting, it was already late at night.

Pei Shi yawned, bowed to him, and went back to sleep. Li Ruoci felt a little tired, but he still came to the backyard, fetched a bucket of water from the well, and prepared to wash his face and mouth.

The moon is reflected in the water, white as silver, the surroundings are silent, and the well water is cold.

A black crow landed on a branch in the distance, turning its head from time to time, and its black eyes seemed to be observing here.

After waiting for a long time, seeing no one around, it flapped its wings a few times, flew into the yard, and landed on Li Ruoci's shoulder.

Li Ruoci was a little strange at first, but when he saw the small silver lotus logo on the crow's leg, he immediately understood.

He took out the small roll of letters from the small tube on its lap, with the word "late" smallly marked on it.

"Xu... late?"

A few black feathers fell to the ground, Li Ruoci picked them up and put them into his sleeves.
