The small village was as quiet as ever, and it seemed that the news brought by Tang Ci's wife just passed by without leaving too many traces.

But those few people who came back from the city locked themselves in the house for a whole day without saying a word when they got home. When they opened the door again, some people went to work in the fields day after day, while Packed their bags and prepared to travel far, but more people who knew nothing about it, scolded the county government while working hard to farm.

But the city is not as harmonious as the village. All the major grain shops are closed, and the people on the street are in a hurry. The news of the war does not need to be passed on by word of mouth.

Zhou Mo and Yan Qing didn't go to the city often, so the change was particularly noticeable in their eyes. They glanced at each other and quickened their pace. They happened to meet a man who looked like a soldier and knocked on the door of the grain shop. They didn't know they were talking to the shop owner. What to say, in short, it seemed that the negotiation failed in the end, and the boss closed the door again.

Yan Qing on the side gently tugged at Zhoumo's sleeve, and said, "Shall we still go buy books?"

Zhou Mo came back to his senses, nodded, "Buy, is there anything else you want?"

Yan Qing shook his head, held Zhou Mo's hand tightly, "Ah Mo, what's wrong with you, you seem a little uneasy?"

Zhou Mo laughed, rubbed Yan Qingdao, "There is a war ahead, we are in Lincheng, can we not worry? You are not afraid at all?"

The hesitation in Yan Qing's eyes was only for a moment, and then he looked at Zhou Mo firmly, "Ah Mo said that this war will not last long, I believe in you, and I also believe in our soldiers at the border."

"There will be nomadic battles here every year. If there is a mistake on the front line, it is impossible for us to live in peace until now, and we have never been affected by the war."

Zhou Mo was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to smile helplessly, "... Are you trusting me blindly?"

Yan Qing turned his head to look in the direction of leaving the city, pouted and said, "It's our border guards who clearly believe."

Zhou Mo laughed twice, the inexplicable depression just now disappeared, why should he worry about being a person who holds the full text of the plot in his hand.He followed Yan Qing to look out of the city, but he seemed to see the similar figure of Tongzhou Liushi again in the crowd.

Zhou Mo's expression froze.

Yan Qing looked at him, and said cautiously, "Ah Mo, what are you still worried about?"

"Actually, I haven't figured it out until now. The best time for nomads to fight is obviously in autumn. The livestock are fat and strong, but now it's winter and the weather is so cold. Why the war hasn't subsided yet? Getting worse?"

Yan Qing waited for a while but did not see Zhou Mo returning to him, so he followed Zhou Mo's line of sight curiously, there were only some tall and tall women scattered around.

Just as Yan Qing was about to speak, someone behind him spoke first.

"My brothers and sisters, why are you entering the city at this time?" Li Bai also just came back from another grain store, feeling very depressed, when he suddenly saw these two standing in front of the grain store she was going to go to next. , reminded angrily, "Don't go to the city if you can't go to the city recently, don't go back to recruit soldiers and then arrest your wife and head, you won't die from crying."

Yan Qing was taken aback, "Do you still want to conscript?"

Li Bai pointed to the place they were looking at and said, "Yes, it's all there, but those are voluntary. When there are not enough people in the future, they may have to go door-to-door to recruit soldiers."

Zhou Mo looked at it for a while, and the figure that flashed by just now seemed to be his illusion, Zhou Mo fixed his eyes for a while before turning back his gaze, and looked at Li Bai, "It's serious?"

"That's it, but it's really more exhausting than before. Those donkey riders have gone crazy this year. Don't they plan to let people have a good time?" Li Bai said while spitting, " Wait a minute, I'll go to the grain store in front."

Zhou Mo said, "There's no need to go, someone has already hit a wall."

Li Bai was startled, but he waved his hands, "It's okay, I have to give Li Fu some face."

Not long after, Li Bai also hit a wall and came back.

She cursed and cursed as she walked back, "It's hard to make money for the country, and I don't feel like I'm choking."

Zhou Mo: "... Your Li Mansion's face is really not working."

"It works very well. I have asked my servants to collect enough grain for several carts. Isn't this thinking that the more the better?" Li Bai glared at Zhou Mo first, then turned his head and spit at the grain shop. , said angrily, "You can just cover your eggs, the general Yan on the front line is very powerful, he has never lost a battle, it's just a temporary predicament."

Zhou Mo and Yan Qing laughed a couple of times, and then Li Bai said again, "But I heard that General Yan is leading the army this time, and he has a thin-skinned and tender military adviser beside him."

"Although the military adviser is a woman, she looks as charming as a man."

Zhou Mo: "..."

This seems to have been heard by him.

Although he is a man, he is as tall and burly as a woman.

Zhou Mo didn't take it seriously, and noticed that the temperature of the hands of the people around him began to drop, so he hugged the person and put his hands against his waist to keep warm, "Find a place to sit and talk, it's too cold."

"Alright." Li Bai said, "Just the teahouse in front."

When the three of them came to the teahouse, someone who looked like a servant called Li Bai from a distance, and Li Bai and the two of them took their leave temporarily and retreated to a corner.

"Is it cold?" Zhou Mo poured hot tea for Yan Qing.

"It's not cold," Yan Qing obediently replied while holding hot tea, but when he saw the back of Zhou Mo's hand covering his cheek, he instinctively took two steps back, shrinking his neck and saying guiltily, "...the wind blows outside , your face must be cold."

Zhou Mo didn't take back his hand, but only raised his eyebrows to look at him.

Yan Qing glanced around quickly, then opened the cuffs, and pressed his warm skin against Zhou Mo's hand. He was shivered by the cold, but he didn't pull back his hands, only lowered the cuffs to cover Zhou Mo's hand. Mo's hands and his exposed skin.

Yan Qing said, "Look, it's hot."

Zhou Mo's eyes fell on Yan Qing's already covered arm, and the bright red sand mole was not far from his fingertips, Zhou Mo's thoughts moved slightly, and he quietly moved his position.

Yan Qing was gasped by the cold, looking pitiful, but still caring about Zhou Mo, "A Mo, are you cold, do you want to put the other hand in to cover?"

Zhou Mo shook his head, "It's not cold, compare your hot place with my normal temperature place, it's no wonder if you don't get frozen."

Zhou Mo moved his fingers slightly, rubbed the bump lightly, and said, "I just don't know if this red mole will disappear after consummation."

Yan Qing's ears warmed up, and he didn't know why the topic suddenly turned here. His intention was simply to warm people's hands. Hearing what Zhou Mo said, he immediately felt that this gesture was too rascal. He wanted to twitch his hands but didn't. Mo gently rubbed his calloused fingertips on his mole.

Yan Qing lowered his hands and pulled his sleeves even lower, but he couldn't stop Zhou Mo's movement, he pursed his lips lightly, and whispered back, "...the Li family is the one who lost Shou Gongsha to Mr. Li. "

Zhou Mo was startled, speechless for a long time, Yan Qing took this opportunity to withdraw his hand, and passed the hot tea on the table, and put Zhou Mo's hands on the edge of the tea cup, Not daring to look up at him, she just repeated in a low voice, "I heard it's the Shou Gongsha who didn't look up there."

Zhou Mo came back to his senses, looked at Yan Qing, his rare ears were also a little hot, he coughed twice, "Are you asking them about this too?"

Yan Qing has always been upright, no matter what Zhou Mo asks, he will answer. Occasionally, there are some things that he can't say at the beginning, as long as Zhou Mo asks, he can find a result.

"...Don't you want to learn from the scriptures? If it's really like what you heard on the street that day, the sex is not harmonious, then you don't want me—"

Before Yan Qing finished speaking, Zhou Mo suddenly stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, blocking his voice.

Zhou Mo's eyes drifted and he said, "No."

... As long as Yan Qing doesn't dislike him in this matter, how can he dislike Yan Qing.

However, it was the first time Yan Qing saw Zhou Mo like this, blinked twice, took the pastry away on purpose, and said with a smile, "Nothing? Is it because we have a bad relationship or don't want me?"

Zhou Mo: "..."

Zhou Mo sighed silently, thinking to himself, this person has really been taught badly by him.

Li Bai was hesitant to speak for a long time, but seeing that the topic had no intention of ending, he had no choice but to interrupt, "...well, I just went out for a while, do you want to talk so boldly between you two?"

Yan Qing: "..."

This time it was Yan Qing's turn to blush. He had never crossed the line in front of outsiders. For a while, he wished to find a crack in the ground to get down. Zhou Mo saw him like this, and the depression he had been suppressed before disappeared. Touched Yan Qing's leg, looked at him with raised eyebrows, and it was clearly written in his eyes: Why don't you continue talking?

Yan Qing closed her mouth and lowered her head, neither wanting to speak nor looking at Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo put it away when he saw it was good, rubbed Yan Qing's head, then turned his head to Li Bai and said without warmth, "You know it's a love story, so you won't come back later?"

Li Bai: "..."

Li Bai rolled his eyes, and sat aside unceremoniously, "...well, next time I meet you, I won't be named Li if I don't leave a beautiful woman and right a beautiful woman."

Zhou Mo looked at her and said, "Why have you been here for so long, is there any change?"

Li Bai shook his head and poured a cup of tea, "There are some things that I can't talk to you about, it just adds to my troubles, let's just say it, it's not a big deal, otherwise why would I still be sitting here drinking tea, by the way, Where were we talking?"

Zhou Mo nodded clearly, and said, "Speaking of the military adviser, I just heard a lot of talk about her in the teahouse. I heard that she is new here?"

"Yes or no, I have been by the emperor's side before, but this time I don't know what happened, but I was suddenly sent to help General Yan."

"But don't tell me, the military division really has two brushes. First, he modified the bow and arrow, and then he made some kind of fireball—"

Zhou Mo's hands shaking while drinking tea, the teacup fell on the table, and it took two rounds to stop before it stopped. Yan Qing hurriedly took a handkerchief from his bosom to wipe Zhou Mo's body clean, and looked at Zhou Mo suspiciously. .

Li Bai also stopped speaking, and said after a long while, "You understand, I didn't know what it was when I heard people talking about it just now. I didn't know what it was until I had the opportunity to meet people in the army. The black fire/powder ball is formed into a ball, wrapped with paper several layers of fire/powder ball, and then the surface is covered with grease, when it is used, the fireball is ignited and thrown out with a catapult.”

"That scene was really, really spectacular, and this military adviser will definitely get a big reward when he goes back." Li Bai had a look of eagerness on his face, as if he was on the battlefield.

But Zhou Mo was silent for a while, and asked, "The military adviser, but his surname is Zhou?"
