It almost splashed Lu Guan's face.Song Qianzhi bah bah twice, spit out the astringent taste in his mouth, still stretched out his tongue and coughed twice, his throat kept wriggling, he wanted to vomit but couldn't spit it out, he could only swallow hard.
"Bad?" Zhou Xian picked up the water and smelled it.
Song Qian beat his chest with one hand, while winking: "Drink it, drink it, it's very delicious, sweet and refreshing, top grade in water."
Zhou Xian didn't believe it, sat up straight and said, "I'm not thirsty."
Lu Guan picked up the water and took a sip, his face didn't change, he put down the pottery bowl, he didn't say yes or no.After a while, he took another sip.
Zhou Xian licked his lips, picked up the water, and looked at Lu Guan suspiciously. Seeing that Lu Guan was drinking vigorously, his guard disappeared.He hadn't drank water for half a day, and he was already thirsty, so he just took a big gulp with his head down.
"Pfft—" Zhou Xiantian sprayed flowers on the head of the officer who came in.
officer:"……"
Song Qianzhi laughed so hard that he almost fell down.
Drops of water dripped from the officer's helmet, and the corner of the officer's mouth twitched and said: "The general is back, please go over."
Song Qianzhi finally met Bai Guyou.
Bai Guyou was wearing a dark golden battle armor, with a helmet covering half of his face, a layer of green stubble growing from his recently shaved beard, and a pair of deep eyes under the front of the helmet.He is as tall as Lu Guan, but taller than Lu Guan, standing in the tent.
"General Bai." Although there are two people in the tent, their momentum is completely different, they both face the direction of the tent door, one in front and one behind, the one in front is Bai Guyou, the one behind.It should be the general Wang that Xiaobing said.Song Qianzhi walked towards the general in front, made an official salute, and said, "Where is General Bai receiving the order?"
"I'm in a hurry, and there is no incense table, so I'll take the order here." Bai Guyou knelt on the ground, and the armor all over his body made a cold and crisp rubbing sound.
Song Qianzhi unfolded the imperial decree, read it once, and asked Bai Guyou to stand up.
When Bai Guyou stood up, the top of his helmet was a head and a half taller than Song Qianzhi.
"General." Song Qianzhi quietly stared at the tall and burly man in front of him. Bai Guyou was like a sword hidden in a simple and simple scabbard.
Bai Guyou had already received the imperial edict, and stood in front of Song Qianzhi, before he could speak, Song Qianzhi lifted the skirt of his robe suddenly and knelt down.
Bai Guyou squinted his eyes slightly, but didn't help him immediately.
"Qianzhi thanked General Chu Wanmin for his life-saving grace." Song Qianzhi said loudly, kowtowed, and stood up calmly.
Bai Guyou's serious face softened, he looked at Song Qianzhi for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"Nephew Song Xian is very polite. You are an imperial envoy sent by the emperor to supervise our army. How can you kneel to me? It is my duty to guard the rivers and mountains of Dachu. Nephew Song Xian has been exhausted all the way, General Wang."
General Wang came up.
"Take the imperial envoy to settle down properly, don't neglect."
Song Qianzhi said: "The general has finished patrolling the camp?"
Bai Guyou had doubts on his brows, he said: "Not yet, nephew Song Xian, please settle down first, I have important matters to deal with, so I can't accompany you."
"It's inconvenient for the general to accompany Qianzhi, but Qianzhi can accompany the general." Song Qian smiled eagerly, "The general is not too presumptuous, and Qianzhi also wants to learn how to be a supervising army as soon as possible."
Bai Guyou frowned in displeasure, and after a moment of silence, said: "Then let's go. Nephew Song Xian..." He seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it, and there was a hint of impatience in his expression.
Bai Guyou's army was stationed in a mountain depression less than ten miles away from Fengping Gorge. The entire camp occupies a vast area. It has been four days since the army entered the mountain depression, and the Heidi people have never taken the initiative to attack.
Song Qianzhi patrolled the camp behind Bai Guyou, and saw that Bai Guyou's army was indeed in order. He had confronted Hei Di several times, and the number of wounded soldiers was less than a hundred, all of whom were well treated.He thought of Long Jinshan again.
I don't know how Long Jinshan got into Li Qi's hands.
Moreover, Long Jinshan is the owner of the Black Wolf Village. He joined the army. What about his subordinates? Where did the rest of the Black Wolf Village go?
It was past noon after the camp tour ended, Baiguyou Station was about to send Song Qianzhi back, and he looked expectant when he saw him.
The general was really not good at dealing with the officials sent by the court, his face contorted for a while, and he finally choked out a sentence.
"Is the supervisor hungry?"
"..." Song Qianzhi burst into tears, and said in his heart that he was already hungry. From last night until now, he was afraid that he didn't even have breakfast.
Song Qianzhi smiled politely: "It's okay, do you want to eat?"
"Let's have dinner then."
Following Bai Guyou's order, meals were passed around in the tents of the Chinese army, the food was so-so, but Song Qianzhi was really hungry.Someone assassinated Zhou Xian last night, and he set out on the road before dawn, and rushed all the way here, his chest was already on his back and he was so hungry.
When the food was served, I saw the supervising army gobble up the meal, and didn't even bother to say anything.
"Your Majesty Lu has a very handsome face. I don't know where he is?" Bai Guyou turned to Lu Guan with admiring eyes. Just looking at Lu Guan's figure and skeleton, he could already see that this adult who came with the young imperial envoy was a master.
"The humble office is in charge of the secretary province."
Song Qianzhi was almost stuck by the mutton.Lu Guan called himself "humble", but his tone was not humble at all.
Without waiting for Bai Guyou to ask, Zhou Xian said: "I'm under Master Song's subordinates, and I'm also working in the Secretary's Department."
Bai Guyou: "I will remember you, because you brought the late emperor's sword, telling me to send troops south to cut off the attack of the Heidi people. What's your name?"
"Zhou Xian."
Bai Guyou repeated Zhou Xian's name, nodded, and said, "Dare to come to our Zhenbei army alone, the courage of the little brother is worthy of a toast from the general. But tonight is going to fight, it's inconvenient to drink at this time, change Japan I will invite the little brother to drink."
Zhou Xian's eyes lit up.
"Thank you, General."
"Nephew Song Xian..." Bai Guyou was about to say something when he happened to meet Song Qianzhi who was still eating and drinking, and his expression suddenly brightened.
"Hmm," Song Qianzhi tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth, raised his head and said, "General."
"When you were young, I visited you at the mansion, don't you remember?"
Song Qianzhi opened his eyes wide, thinking about it, but couldn't remember when he saw Bai Guyou.
"Forgive me, junior, I really don't remember..." Song Qianzhi claims to have a photographic memory, and he really has this ability, but he can hardly forget everything he has seen and the people he has seen, but he can't remember Bai Guyou , so he asked, "I don't know how young the younger generation was at that time?"
"Three months." Bai Guyou said.
Song Qianzhi: "..."
"You were supposed to go when you were full moon, but you were not in Beijing at that time. When you returned to Beijing, you were already three months old. Is your mother doing well these years?" Bai Guyou's eyes surged with excitement. Song Qianzhi could not see clearly the emotion.
Song Qianzhi was baffled, and replied: "I have been ill all the time. The doctor said that if I can survive this spring, I should get better."
Bai Guyou hummed, looking as if he was wandering away.Except for Song Qianzhi who was really full of the meal, the other three had their own concerns. After eating, Lu Guan helped Song Qianzhi who could not walk anymore.
Song Qianzhi was still talking about the food in the army, but it was really not good. After eating like this for a few months, he would really eat it up, and he didn't know how thin he would be.
Three people, one tent. The tent is very big, but it is really inconvenient for three people to live there.
It was inconvenient to apply medicine to many places on Zhou Xian's body, Song Qianzhi came over to apply ointment on him, and said helplessly, "I didn't feel it when Zhan Xing was around, but now I'm not here, I still miss her."
Zhou Xian's upper body was bare, his neck was slightly red, and there was a little embarrassment in his smile.
"Hey, you haven't touched my personal maid these days, have you?"
Zhou Xian stared suddenly: "How could I? I am a gentleman."
"An honest gentleman would not say that he is an honest gentleman." Song Qian's hand darkly pressed a wound on Zhou Xian's body, the ointment stung him, and Zhou Xian shut up.
"Let me tell you, Zhanxing and Baiyue are two maidservants who served me when they were young. They both have high vision. If you like it, you can't talk about it if you don't have eight sedan chairs. And you can only be wives, not Concubine." Song Qianzhi waved the wooden chip on which the ointment was scooped out, pointed to the scar on Zhou Xian's face, and then applied the medicine to him lightly, warning, "If you can't handle those romantic debts, don't fight them." A little girl's idea."
There was silence in the room.
Song Qianzhi said in his heart: Are you scared off like this?It's over, it's over, I really want to scare Zhou Xian so much that he dare not make up his mind, let that little girl Zhan Xing know, why don't you spit in his wash water?
"Hello..." Song Qianzhi pondered how to start a conversation.
"Qilin Guards are not allowed to marry wives, brothers are all bachelors, let's talk about it." Zhou Xian lowered his voice, "They are all killed by licking blood on the knife edge, why bother others."
"I told you that Qilinwei is going to be laid off. From now on, you are from the Secretary Department. You even told General Bai that you belong to me. If you let him know that you are lying, how dare you lie to General Bai? ?"
Lu Guan couldn't stand listening to "Your man, my man", he pulled Song Qianzhi up, sat down to give Zhou Xian the medicine, pushed Song Qianzhi to sit on the camp bed in the middle, and took off his clothes. His boots and trousers.
Song Qianzhi resolutely resisted: "Hey... Lu Shunqin, what are you doing, I'm going to kick someone!"
Lu Guan pressed the blister on the sole of Song Qianzhi's foot.
Song Qianzhi groaned and fell silent.
Lu Guan let Song Qianzhi soak his feet first, then hugged his feet on his legs, broke the blisters one by one and applied medicine.
The tent was quiet, Zhou Xian turned his body to the other side, wondering if he was asleep or not.
Song Qianzhi withdrew his sneaky eyes and said in a very low voice, "Hello."
Lu Guan looked up at him, a shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and Song Qianzhi kissed him on the forehead.
Song Qianzhi had already sat upright again, watching Lu Guan lower his head and apply medicine to his feet seriously, the left half of his face and neck were flushed.
☆, Miao Nu (pick up)
In the middle of the night, the sound of the army gathering outside the tent, Song Qianzhi was awakened, moved in Lu Guan's arms, and was held down by Lu Guan.
Song Qianzhi woke up a little, and listened for a while, the footsteps of people running past outside the tent, the sound of horseshoes, and the voices of people shouting and ordering.
"My lord, shall we go?" Zhou Xian rolled over and sat up.
Song Qianzhi looked at Lu Guan with a questioning look.During dinner, Bai Guyou mentioned that he was going to fight tonight, but he didn't elaborate on it, nor did he ask him, the military supervisor, to do something.
Sure enough, Lu Guan stuffed Song Qianzhi into the bed and went down to get dressed.
"If you don't go, I'll go and have a look."
Just as Song Qianzhi popped his head, he was patted by Lu Guan, so he had to shrink under the quilt.
"Come right back." Lu Guan lowered his head and touched Song Qian's forehead with his lips, and immediately went out of the tent like a gust of wind.
Song Qianzhi let out a breath, thought for a while, and whispered: "Zhou Xian, have you slept yet?"
Almost at the same time, Zhou Xian said: "Young Master..."
"Tell me." Song Qianzhi turned over, lying on his stomach under the quilt, stretched his hands on both sides of the quilt, wrapped himself into a rice dumpling, and only moved his head.
"What did Lord Hou want to say just now?"
"No, just chat casually. It's so noisy outside that I can't sleep." After Song Qianzhi woke up in the middle of the night, it was always difficult to fall asleep.
"How about we go and see?"
Song Qianzhi really wanted to go out and have a look. He thought for a while and said, "Forget it, Lu Guan has his own judgment. Don't you think that although he doesn't talk much, he is very accurate in seeing problems."
"When Mr. Lu was in Quzhou, he was the most powerful adviser around the sixth prince."
"Really?" Song Qianzhi's quilt was arched, he changed his posture, moved towards Zhou Xian's bed, almost lying on the edge of the bed, "What else have you heard?"
The tent was warm except for the quilt, but the camp bed was cold and hard. A gleam of light from the tent door cut the ground in half.
"It can't be regarded as hearing. Before being sent to the secretary province, the humble official has been secretly following His Majesty. His Majesty and Master Lu had a two-year relationship. Later, Master Lu did not know what he said in the letter, which angered His Majesty. , and then no more letters were passed.”
Only Song Qianzhi's shining eyes were exposed in the quilt roll.
"You don't know what he said?"
"I don't know. The Qilin Guard is different from the eunuchs who are close servants. Unless His Majesty expressly summons us, we can't show up at will."
"Then where are you all hiding?" Song Qianzhi said, "Aren't you a gentleman on the beam?"
"Sometimes on beams."
Song Qianzhi: "... Then how do you usually work on duty?"
"There is a shift every eight hours. In case of an emergency, the humble staff has been on duty for 24 hours at most. At that time, Sheng Jia was in the Nanzhou Palace."
"I have the impression that the Nanzhou Qingyun Sect's rebellion coincided with His Majesty's residence in Nanzhou, and the rebels set fire to the palace. Fortunately, on the eve of the incident, His Majesty suddenly decided to set off for a visit to a county under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhou prefectural capital. , His Majesty died in the sea of fire in Xinna, the palace after his fortune in Nanzhou. It is also an unsolved case in this dynasty, has it been solved? I don’t remember it.”
Zhou Xiandao: "Young Lord, I remember correctly, but there is one thing that is not known to the outside world. The concubine was only accompanied by her for less than two months before she became pregnant. That's why His Majesty insisted on ennobling her, and she also got the support of the Queen Mother." .”
Song Qianzhi's heart skipped a beat and he was shocked: "Is it true?"
"Really, so in this fire, one body and two lives were lost. His Majesty brought the woman's ashes back to the capital. I heard that it was a rich burial."
Song Qianzhi was silent for a while.This woman's luck, it's hard to say, she became pregnant so soon, and to be favored by the emperor almost reached the sky in one step.It was agreed, but Fu Mingshao encountered the only civil sect rebellion after he ascended the throne, and his unborn child was also buried in the sea of fire.
"Your Majesty has not had a son for so many years, and the empress has a miscarriage." It is a big event for the emperor to have no heir. Although Fu Mingshao is still young, in the royal family of Chu, the heir has always been the most important thing related to the country. .
Song Qianzhi thought again.
Fortunately, Fu Mingmao seems to have no son yet.
Fu Mingmao has been demoted to a commoner for so many years, I hope he is exhausted and has no time to give birth to a son.Thinking about it, Song Qianzhi felt that he was too wicked.
As time passed, the army outside had set off, but Lu Guan hadn't come back yet, Song Qianzhi guessed that Lu Guan had gone with the army, he was strong in martial arts, so he was not afraid of accidents.
When Song Qianzhi was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, let me ask you."
Zhou Xian was always sober, and when he heard this, he quickly responded.
"What happened to Gao Niande and Yan Licheng? Are they together?"
Zhou Xian coughed and said in embarrassment: "When the humble officer came to Qilin Guard, Yan Licheng had already betrayed him. Gao Niande was withdrawn and rarely interacted with the brothers, and the humble position did not know..."
"Come on! Didn't you hear any rumors? Didn't you hear that you asked Gao Niande to interrogate Yan Licheng?" Song Qianzhi threatened in a low voice, "The Qilin Guard will definitely be withdrawn. You are already a member of the Secretary Department. You You still owe me a life, tell me quickly, what's going on with them?"
"Didn't Young Master guess everything?" Zhou Xian still remembered that in Rongzhou, Gao Niande came back later than them for some reason, and Song Qianzhi used Gao Niande as a buckle to trick Yan Licheng into confessing to Fu Mingmao.
"I guessed it, I guessed it. They are brothers. Yan Licheng trusts and worries most about this brother. I don't know if there are many more." Song Qianzhi said, "No one can pry Yan Licheng's mouth away. As soon as this Gao Niande went to interrogation, he vomited everything out, no one would have thought that the two of them had an affair."
"Gao Niande and Yan Licheng..." Zhou Xian said hesitantly, "What's going on with Young Master and Master Lu, that's what's going on with them."
Song Qianzhi was embarrassed: "It's not the same thing."
Zhou Xian smiled, but didn't speak.
The tent was quiet for a while, and Song Qianzhi's voice sounded: "I said, do your Qilin Guards often have this... this..."
"Broken sleeve?"
"Ah, yes." Song Qianzhi was a little embarrassed, but he was really curious. The Qilin guards were all men, and all of them were of extraordinary appearance, and it was forbidden to marry a wife.There is no one to talk to all day long, facing a bunch of big and three rough brothers, and they are not very old. Any matter that Qilin Wei takes action must be difficult and not visible. Naturally, these boys are brothers who are born and died.On weekdays, they live and eat together, and they are full of blood, so there is no guarantee that they will not be gone.
"It's hard to say, so let's go to sleep." Song Qianzhi turned over, lay down, and closed his eyes.
Zhou Xian's voice came to Song Qianzhi's ears: "It's nothing. After entering the Qilin Guard, not only must life and death be disregarded, but the idea of starting a family is also forbidden. When you are still training in the Qilin Tomb, the master will strictly prohibit the children's affair. There are also relevant trainings..." Zhou paused, as if there was something hard to say, and then said, "There are men in the guards who stay together in private, but they take care of each other, and no one will make it clear. Once you go out on a mission, you can't even tell if you can come back, where is the heart that lasts forever?"
After a while, Song Qianzhi said: "It's good to support each other, isn't it?"
Zhou Xian gave a low laugh and said, "Qilin Guard has no home."
"What did you want to tell me just now?" Song Qianzhi changed the subject and didn't want to talk about this heavy topic again.
"Oh, if there is a chance, please ask the young master to say a few words to Miss Zhan Xing. You don't have to be too nice to me."
The wind roared outside the tent, and the footsteps could no longer be heard in the entire camp. The swift wind hit the door, bulged a ball, and then calmed down.
"I can't control it. My two maidservants are the ones who control me when I'm at home."
Zhou Xian still wanted to say something, but saw Song Qianzhi next to him stretching out a hand from under the quilt and making a gesture to silence his voice, so he stopped talking.
The two slept for less than an hour, Song Qianzhi felt someone coming in, but he couldn't open his eyes when he was half asleep and half awake.After a while, he felt that someone got into the quilt, and a familiar arm came to hug him, Song Qianzhi leaned sideways on Lu Guan's shoulder, hugged him with one hand and fell asleep.
·
In the violent sandstorm, a group of thirty cavalry marched forward with difficulty. Following a woman's crisp shout, the man on horseback turned over, led the horse to avoid the limelight, and went into the northwest woods to set up a tent.
The leading woman wore a black cloak, handing water and food from her hands, and a hand wearing a black leather glove stretched out from under the cloak.
"Commander, we're almost at Suxi County, so let's rest here, why don't we hang on for a while, and when we arrive at Suxi County, feel free to settle down."
The woman who was called the leader raised a hand.
The subordinates immediately shut up, bowed and waited for the woman to run out of food and water, packed up her things, and went to help build the tent.
The hood of the cloak was lifted, revealing a gleaming white forehead. The woman's high nose bridge was blocked by the white gauze, and her calm eyes were like a puddle of black water at the bottom of a cold winter abyss.
The people she brought moved quickly, with sensitive hands and feet, and quickly set up the tent, and one of her men asked her to enter the tent.
Just when the woman bent down to enter the tent, an extremely secret wolf howl came.
The woman's whole body stopped, and she subconsciously grasped the scimitar at her waist.
"Please lead in."
The woman's indifferent eyes glanced over her men, and she looked to the south where the howling of wolves came from. The place where the sky and the earth meet was a low hillside.
The second wolf howl sounded, much closer.
Scores of wolves howled one after another.
The woman waited for a while, the sound of the wind, the animal's feet hidden in the wind, the weak gurgling of the stream, the rustling of rats fleeing and drilling holes in the weeds, and the crisp sound of dry branches being broken by stones blown by the wind.
And the wolf howl that was familiar to her.
"Twelve horses." The woman glanced at her men, "Use barbed wire." After giving this instruction, the woman got into the tent.
·
Shortly after dawn.
The second brother in the inn finished urging the steamed buns in the kitchen, and when he returned to the front hall, he met an exquisite female guest coming downstairs, and greeted him out of habit.
Zhan Xing glanced at him and nodded: "I'll stay here tonight, I won't return the room. By the way, take care of my horse, and there will be money later."
A silver light drew an arc in midair.
It was two taels of broken silver. Xiaoer smiled and sang at the top of his voice, "Come on, I must ask someone to clean the girl's room, and I will take care of the horse."
Leaving the inn, Zhan Xing went to the house with the girl who took the medicine yesterday, stood at the corner of the street and took a look.
It was still early, and many people on the street put out their goods for sale, and there was a jewelry stall two steps away from Zhan Xing.
"How much does this bead cost?" Zhan Xing picked up a bead flower and stood sideways, paying attention to the big house, which looks like the facade of a business. In such a house, one enters the wing room, and then walks in This is the main house and the backyard.
"Miss, you have a good eye. These begonia red beads are hard to find. My family has them all in Suxi County. This is the last one. Someone told me to keep it..." The peddler gritted his teeth with regret on his face. He stomped his feet and brought the bead flower over to install it, "Sanliang, this begonia red bead flower is yours."
The corner of Zhan Xing's mouth twitched, and he was about to negotiate the price when a young lady came by.
"Brother Hu, I think you're coaxing other foreigners again."
The peddler immediately turned his face and waved his hand: "I'm here for business, sister of the Lin family, the quality of these pearls is really good, if it wasn't for someone to pre-order, Brother Hu will give it to you for nothing."
Zhan Xing said with a smile: "I haven't said I want it yet." She turned her face away, her eyebrows moved, and then her whole face became lively, smiling like a flower, "I always only like white, this girl likes this pearl flower , I'll leave it to you."
"Brother Hu, what did you just say?"
Hu Er was devastated, and struggling to death, said: "Who doesn't know that you are Lin Yuanwai's palm beads, you can see this broken thing." Hu Er took out the beads and wanted to put them back, when his wrist was suddenly pointed Xing grabbed it, and was about to yell, his face turned livid, he yelled twice, howling like a pig, "Sister Lin, take it, take it, I'll give it to you for nothing, hurry, take it away..." Zhuhua came from Hu Dropped off secondhand and is falling in the box.
Zhan Xing closed the jewelry box and handed it to the girl with a smile.
"A gentleman doesn't take what others love, but if a girl likes it, just take it away."
Hu Er muttered: "What kind of gentleman... two little ladies..." Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the young woman who was pinching his hand staring at him. Bottom drilled past, fled back into the house, and slammed the door shut.
"Hahahaha." The "Sister of the Lin family" with a vegetable basket on her arm put the bead flower into the basket, counted out fifty Wen, and put it on the stall.
"My name is Lin Hong. What do you call this sister? My house is just across the street. If my sister doesn't mind, why don't you come to my house for a cup of tea?"
Zhan Xing hesitated, and said, "Is there anyone else at your house?"
"This shop is for relatives in the family. It will take two months for someone to live in it, and it will take an hour for the two craftsmen we invited to come."
"The lady came so early?"
Lin Hongnen blushed, lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, like ripples blown by the spring breeze, gentle and moving.
"I'm just here to take a look, bring some food, and water the flowers and plants in the yard. Will my sister come with me?"
"Go, I'm from a foreign country. I've walked a long way. Does my sister have good tea?"
Then Lin Hong immediately opened up the conversation: "Our family also has a tea shop. There is no good tea here, but it is not bad. I can order tea. My sister might as well sit down."
Hearing that there was no sound outside, Hu Er moved the wooden door away, and the sun shone on his stall. He put away the fifty Wen coins, and curled his mouth.
"It's really unlucky, little girl." Then she lay down on the stall listlessly, her small eyes chasing the slim backs of the girls, and she couldn't turn her eyes away.
☆, Wonderful Girl ([-])
After entering the shop, Lin Hong walked through a door, and the sun was cast from a small patio. Below was a square pool, in which there were two lazy bastards.
A cold and damp dusty smell rushed towards her face in the air. Zhan Xing looked around and fixed her eyes on a very thin dark mark on the ground. She dipped a little saliva on her fingers and wiped it with her fingertips.
"Sister, sit down for a while, I'll boil a pot of water." Lin Hong's voice came from the courtyard.
Zhan Xing sighed.
This was exactly what she wanted, she lowered her head and sniffed her fingers, the familiar smell on her nose told her that the trace was blood.The blood that had dried up only melted a little, sticking to the finger as a tea-like dark color.Zhan Xing wiped the blood from his fingers on the back of the wooden tabletop, and he was even more convinced that there was an injured person here yesterday, and the wound was treated in this small shop.
When she followed, Lin Hong closed the shop after entering the door. Considering that the wounded man was really the man in black, then his martial arts skills were extremely high, and any omission might startle the snake, so Zhan Xing went back immediately.It's just that Zhanxing didn't expect that the injured person didn't live here, so she couldn't be sure if that person was the man in black who kidnapped her that day.
There had to be a chance to listen to the wounded man, and she could make out his voice whenever he spoke.Zhan Xing secretly thought, all this can only be done in secret, otherwise, if the wounded person hiding in the Lin's shop is the man in black who sneaked up on Zhou Xian that night, that man cannot be captured without a fight, and she is no match for it alone. As long as the identity of the man in black is confirmed, he can first go to the Zhenbei military camp to find the young master to explain his reasons and bring someone to arrest him.
"Sister." Lin Hong walked over with a smile on her face, and took out Choshi, the tea stove and other utensils, and after setting them up, it really looked like that.
"When will the craftsmen come? Are they repairing the roof?" Zhan Xing raised his index finger and pointed upwards.
"Well, a few days ago, the Heidi people attacked the city, thanks to these two big brothers who helped our family defend against the enemy. That big brother Su came to our place because of the war in the suburbs. He was a mason before he left his hometown." Lin Hong While washing and ironing the tea set while talking, "Those two big brothers won't come too early, I came so early to sneak out to play." She blinked as she spoke, revealing a provocative charm at the end of her eyes.
"Surname Su?" Zhan Xing thought for a while and asked, "Are both of them surnamed Su?"
"No, they are not biological brothers, they seem to be senior brothers. They learned the craft from the same mason. There is another one who is in the same family as me, also surnamed Lin, and is the junior brother of the two brothers." Lin Hong blushed.
The tea whisk produced thick milky flowers, and Zhan Xing stared at Lin Hong's hand in a daze.
"Thank you." The tea cream is made from the above-mentioned high-quality tea leaves, and the quiet and sweet fragrance lingers in the nose, which immediately relieves a little sleepiness.Zhan Xing finished his drink, ordered another, and sipped it slowly, as if casually chatting with Lin Hong for a while about the two good men who stood up.
"Brother Lin must have a good appearance, right?" Zhan Xing asked with a smile.
Lin Hong lowered her head, twirled her fingers around a lock of black hair hanging on her chest, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "It's very beautiful. When the two big brothers come, I can see my sister."
Zhan Xing teased, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your brother Lin?"
Lin Hong was obviously taken aback for a moment, then blushed and said angrily, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhan Xing smiled without saying a word, picked up his cup and took a sip.
Lin Hong worried: "My sister won't be really... You haven't met those two elder brothers yet, you definitely won't fall in love with them, they are not that handsome..."
This girl is too innocent and cute. If she hadn't been teased by herself, Lin Hong would never have thought that the big brother Lin in her heart would fall in love with other women, and she would never have regarded other women of the right age as objects to be guarded against.While drinking tea, Zhan Xing sighed with emotion. She had been in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and the maids were messing around, as if they were all innocent children, but they no longer had the charming and naive energy of Lin Hong. Its master, each has its own calculations.
After three cups of tea, Zhan Xing got up to say goodbye.
Lin Hong was surprised: "Sister, didn't you wait for those two elder brothers?"
Zhan Xing brushed off his skirt: "My sister reminded me just now that I was not deceived, and I came to have a cup of tea because of fate. I don't know your two good brothers, so don't bother me."
"Oh." Lin Hong pouted, sent Zhan Xing out, stood on the door and held Zhan Xing's hand, very reluctant, "It's hard for me to make such a good friend as my sister, and I don't know her name yet .”
"My surname is Song." Zhan Xing said lightly, "If there is a destiny, there will be a chance to meet again. By the way, that pearl flower is just right for you. If you wear it, your brother Lin will be very happy to see it."
Lin Hong opened her eyes wide: "Really?!"
Zhan Xing curled up his mouth: "Really, my sister's appearance is extraordinary, her skin is fair, her hair is black, and the begonia is red and spring | The color is very strong, which makes my sister beautiful and unparalleled."
"Then sister, put it on for me now." Lin Hong took out the jewelry box.
Zhan Xing put it on for her, looked around with satisfaction, and smiled.
"Thank you sister, where does sister live? Can I still find you?"
Zhan Xing glanced out, there were more people on the street, and it was already time for every family to go out to buy.The peddler at the jewelry stall across the street was listlessly lying on his stomach, glancing here and there from time to time, like a thief.
"There is a Beikou Inn in the county, do you know?"
Lin Hong smiled happily and nodded her head: "Yeah! I'll go find my sister to play later. How many days will you stay in the county? Why waste the money, why don't you come and live at my house, and I'll talk to daddy."
Zhan Xing quickly stopped her: "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, don't bother."
"So soon..." Lin Hong's face drooped, and she forced a smile, "Is sister free tomorrow afternoon?"
Zhan Xing really didn't make any arrangements. Her purpose in coming to this county was to track down the man in black who held Zhou Xian hostage, and find out which force he was from.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll go find you, take you around our Suxi County, take you to eat delicious food, and then listen to our local opera, how about it?"
Zhan Xing touched Lin Hong's head with his hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, after lunch tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the inn, room No. [-], Tianzi."
After the two made an agreement, Zhan Xing didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left.

in the military camp.
Song Qianzhi got up early in the morning and went to Bai Guyou to assign him the duty of supervising the army. He didn't know anything about fighting, so it was up to Bai Guyou to make the decision. He came in a hurry to make food coupons for Bai Guyou.
"Before I left Beijing, I sent a letter to Yang Shangshu of the Household Department, urging two batches of food, one for disaster relief food for Rongzhou, and the other for food and payment for the Zhenbei Army."
Bai Guyou saw that Song Qianzhi was young, but he spoke and acted with a well-thought-out plan, thinking of his grandfather Zhou Taifu and Empress Dowager Zhou, he said with a smile: "Nephew is thoughtful."
Bai Guyou didn't seem to attach much importance to this batch of rations, Song Qianzhi asked, "Is there enough food and grass in the army?"
In just one or two sentences, Song Qianzhi was able to make such a judgment, and Bai Guyou looked serious.
"Sun Junye gave a lot of support to solve the crisis in Mengzhou. In addition, after the Heidi people came in from Baimingdu, they almost always supplied supplies on the spot. Every time they gave up a place, they had to give up a granary. Of course, we The army can't take too much, it's much easier to fight against Heidi than to fight in a bitter cold place with little food and clothing."
Local supply is also an important supply method in combat, but it will increase the burden on the local people. In addition to the disaster year, after autumn, many places have different degrees of disasters.Mengzhou is an exception. In addition, Lingzhou, for example, was not affected by the disaster.
"So it's still necessary to remind the household department. This is what Mr. Yang promised before I left Beijing last time. Mr. Yang is a generation behind me. I believe he will not bully me, a junior."
Bai Guyou stared intently at Song Qianzhi for a while, shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "You and your mother don't look alike at all."
Song Qianzhi's brows twitched, not to mention that he was like his bastard father, that would have to be a fight, but he was still afraid to fight with such a famous general as Bai Guyou.
"Like your grandfather, when I met Taifu Zhou, he was already a man who knew the destiny, but your facial features are very similar to him. I heard that Taifu was also the dreamer of many ladies in Beijing when he was young. I must want to take my daughter There are many people who marry you."
grandfather.Song Qianzhi silently read these two words in his heart.Song Qianzhi's grandfather had not been with him for a very long time, but this person who was often mentioned and even had an influence in the court was like a ray of heroic soul that would never go away, standing by him behind.It is Song Qianzhi's eternal regret that he did not get close to his grandfather and learned more principles of being a man and an official from him.
At that time Song Qianzhi was too young, and he couldn't understand many words that Zhou Taifu said. When he understood, he was no longer there.
Outside the tent, footsteps and horseshoes are hurried, and there are often people walking around in the army. Song Qianzhi and Bai Guyou agreed that he would not interfere and not talk too much about how to use troops. There is only one condition, let Bai Guyou|Take him with you when you act,
"Bad?" Zhou Xian picked up the water and smelled it.
Song Qian beat his chest with one hand, while winking: "Drink it, drink it, it's very delicious, sweet and refreshing, top grade in water."
Zhou Xian didn't believe it, sat up straight and said, "I'm not thirsty."
Lu Guan picked up the water and took a sip, his face didn't change, he put down the pottery bowl, he didn't say yes or no.After a while, he took another sip.
Zhou Xian licked his lips, picked up the water, and looked at Lu Guan suspiciously. Seeing that Lu Guan was drinking vigorously, his guard disappeared.He hadn't drank water for half a day, and he was already thirsty, so he just took a big gulp with his head down.
"Pfft—" Zhou Xiantian sprayed flowers on the head of the officer who came in.
officer:"……"
Song Qianzhi laughed so hard that he almost fell down.
Drops of water dripped from the officer's helmet, and the corner of the officer's mouth twitched and said: "The general is back, please go over."
Song Qianzhi finally met Bai Guyou.
Bai Guyou was wearing a dark golden battle armor, with a helmet covering half of his face, a layer of green stubble growing from his recently shaved beard, and a pair of deep eyes under the front of the helmet.He is as tall as Lu Guan, but taller than Lu Guan, standing in the tent.
"General Bai." Although there are two people in the tent, their momentum is completely different, they both face the direction of the tent door, one in front and one behind, the one in front is Bai Guyou, the one behind.It should be the general Wang that Xiaobing said.Song Qianzhi walked towards the general in front, made an official salute, and said, "Where is General Bai receiving the order?"
"I'm in a hurry, and there is no incense table, so I'll take the order here." Bai Guyou knelt on the ground, and the armor all over his body made a cold and crisp rubbing sound.
Song Qianzhi unfolded the imperial decree, read it once, and asked Bai Guyou to stand up.
When Bai Guyou stood up, the top of his helmet was a head and a half taller than Song Qianzhi.
"General." Song Qianzhi quietly stared at the tall and burly man in front of him. Bai Guyou was like a sword hidden in a simple and simple scabbard.
Bai Guyou had already received the imperial edict, and stood in front of Song Qianzhi, before he could speak, Song Qianzhi lifted the skirt of his robe suddenly and knelt down.
Bai Guyou squinted his eyes slightly, but didn't help him immediately.
"Qianzhi thanked General Chu Wanmin for his life-saving grace." Song Qianzhi said loudly, kowtowed, and stood up calmly.
Bai Guyou's serious face softened, he looked at Song Qianzhi for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"Nephew Song Xian is very polite. You are an imperial envoy sent by the emperor to supervise our army. How can you kneel to me? It is my duty to guard the rivers and mountains of Dachu. Nephew Song Xian has been exhausted all the way, General Wang."
General Wang came up.
"Take the imperial envoy to settle down properly, don't neglect."
Song Qianzhi said: "The general has finished patrolling the camp?"
Bai Guyou had doubts on his brows, he said: "Not yet, nephew Song Xian, please settle down first, I have important matters to deal with, so I can't accompany you."
"It's inconvenient for the general to accompany Qianzhi, but Qianzhi can accompany the general." Song Qian smiled eagerly, "The general is not too presumptuous, and Qianzhi also wants to learn how to be a supervising army as soon as possible."
Bai Guyou frowned in displeasure, and after a moment of silence, said: "Then let's go. Nephew Song Xian..." He seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say it, and there was a hint of impatience in his expression.
Bai Guyou's army was stationed in a mountain depression less than ten miles away from Fengping Gorge. The entire camp occupies a vast area. It has been four days since the army entered the mountain depression, and the Heidi people have never taken the initiative to attack.
Song Qianzhi patrolled the camp behind Bai Guyou, and saw that Bai Guyou's army was indeed in order. He had confronted Hei Di several times, and the number of wounded soldiers was less than a hundred, all of whom were well treated.He thought of Long Jinshan again.
I don't know how Long Jinshan got into Li Qi's hands.
Moreover, Long Jinshan is the owner of the Black Wolf Village. He joined the army. What about his subordinates? Where did the rest of the Black Wolf Village go?
It was past noon after the camp tour ended, Baiguyou Station was about to send Song Qianzhi back, and he looked expectant when he saw him.
The general was really not good at dealing with the officials sent by the court, his face contorted for a while, and he finally choked out a sentence.
"Is the supervisor hungry?"
"..." Song Qianzhi burst into tears, and said in his heart that he was already hungry. From last night until now, he was afraid that he didn't even have breakfast.
Song Qianzhi smiled politely: "It's okay, do you want to eat?"
"Let's have dinner then."
Following Bai Guyou's order, meals were passed around in the tents of the Chinese army, the food was so-so, but Song Qianzhi was really hungry.Someone assassinated Zhou Xian last night, and he set out on the road before dawn, and rushed all the way here, his chest was already on his back and he was so hungry.
When the food was served, I saw the supervising army gobble up the meal, and didn't even bother to say anything.
"Your Majesty Lu has a very handsome face. I don't know where he is?" Bai Guyou turned to Lu Guan with admiring eyes. Just looking at Lu Guan's figure and skeleton, he could already see that this adult who came with the young imperial envoy was a master.
"The humble office is in charge of the secretary province."
Song Qianzhi was almost stuck by the mutton.Lu Guan called himself "humble", but his tone was not humble at all.
Without waiting for Bai Guyou to ask, Zhou Xian said: "I'm under Master Song's subordinates, and I'm also working in the Secretary's Department."
Bai Guyou: "I will remember you, because you brought the late emperor's sword, telling me to send troops south to cut off the attack of the Heidi people. What's your name?"
"Zhou Xian."
Bai Guyou repeated Zhou Xian's name, nodded, and said, "Dare to come to our Zhenbei army alone, the courage of the little brother is worthy of a toast from the general. But tonight is going to fight, it's inconvenient to drink at this time, change Japan I will invite the little brother to drink."
Zhou Xian's eyes lit up.
"Thank you, General."
"Nephew Song Xian..." Bai Guyou was about to say something when he happened to meet Song Qianzhi who was still eating and drinking, and his expression suddenly brightened.
"Hmm," Song Qianzhi tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth, raised his head and said, "General."
"When you were young, I visited you at the mansion, don't you remember?"
Song Qianzhi opened his eyes wide, thinking about it, but couldn't remember when he saw Bai Guyou.
"Forgive me, junior, I really don't remember..." Song Qianzhi claims to have a photographic memory, and he really has this ability, but he can hardly forget everything he has seen and the people he has seen, but he can't remember Bai Guyou , so he asked, "I don't know how young the younger generation was at that time?"
"Three months." Bai Guyou said.
Song Qianzhi: "..."
"You were supposed to go when you were full moon, but you were not in Beijing at that time. When you returned to Beijing, you were already three months old. Is your mother doing well these years?" Bai Guyou's eyes surged with excitement. Song Qianzhi could not see clearly the emotion.
Song Qianzhi was baffled, and replied: "I have been ill all the time. The doctor said that if I can survive this spring, I should get better."
Bai Guyou hummed, looking as if he was wandering away.Except for Song Qianzhi who was really full of the meal, the other three had their own concerns. After eating, Lu Guan helped Song Qianzhi who could not walk anymore.
Song Qianzhi was still talking about the food in the army, but it was really not good. After eating like this for a few months, he would really eat it up, and he didn't know how thin he would be.
Three people, one tent. The tent is very big, but it is really inconvenient for three people to live there.
It was inconvenient to apply medicine to many places on Zhou Xian's body, Song Qianzhi came over to apply ointment on him, and said helplessly, "I didn't feel it when Zhan Xing was around, but now I'm not here, I still miss her."
Zhou Xian's upper body was bare, his neck was slightly red, and there was a little embarrassment in his smile.
"Hey, you haven't touched my personal maid these days, have you?"
Zhou Xian stared suddenly: "How could I? I am a gentleman."
"An honest gentleman would not say that he is an honest gentleman." Song Qian's hand darkly pressed a wound on Zhou Xian's body, the ointment stung him, and Zhou Xian shut up.
"Let me tell you, Zhanxing and Baiyue are two maidservants who served me when they were young. They both have high vision. If you like it, you can't talk about it if you don't have eight sedan chairs. And you can only be wives, not Concubine." Song Qianzhi waved the wooden chip on which the ointment was scooped out, pointed to the scar on Zhou Xian's face, and then applied the medicine to him lightly, warning, "If you can't handle those romantic debts, don't fight them." A little girl's idea."
There was silence in the room.
Song Qianzhi said in his heart: Are you scared off like this?It's over, it's over, I really want to scare Zhou Xian so much that he dare not make up his mind, let that little girl Zhan Xing know, why don't you spit in his wash water?
"Hello..." Song Qianzhi pondered how to start a conversation.
"Qilin Guards are not allowed to marry wives, brothers are all bachelors, let's talk about it." Zhou Xian lowered his voice, "They are all killed by licking blood on the knife edge, why bother others."
"I told you that Qilinwei is going to be laid off. From now on, you are from the Secretary Department. You even told General Bai that you belong to me. If you let him know that you are lying, how dare you lie to General Bai? ?"
Lu Guan couldn't stand listening to "Your man, my man", he pulled Song Qianzhi up, sat down to give Zhou Xian the medicine, pushed Song Qianzhi to sit on the camp bed in the middle, and took off his clothes. His boots and trousers.
Song Qianzhi resolutely resisted: "Hey... Lu Shunqin, what are you doing, I'm going to kick someone!"
Lu Guan pressed the blister on the sole of Song Qianzhi's foot.
Song Qianzhi groaned and fell silent.
Lu Guan let Song Qianzhi soak his feet first, then hugged his feet on his legs, broke the blisters one by one and applied medicine.
The tent was quiet, Zhou Xian turned his body to the other side, wondering if he was asleep or not.
Song Qianzhi withdrew his sneaky eyes and said in a very low voice, "Hello."
Lu Guan looked up at him, a shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and Song Qianzhi kissed him on the forehead.
Song Qianzhi had already sat upright again, watching Lu Guan lower his head and apply medicine to his feet seriously, the left half of his face and neck were flushed.
☆, Miao Nu (pick up)
In the middle of the night, the sound of the army gathering outside the tent, Song Qianzhi was awakened, moved in Lu Guan's arms, and was held down by Lu Guan.
Song Qianzhi woke up a little, and listened for a while, the footsteps of people running past outside the tent, the sound of horseshoes, and the voices of people shouting and ordering.
"My lord, shall we go?" Zhou Xian rolled over and sat up.
Song Qianzhi looked at Lu Guan with a questioning look.During dinner, Bai Guyou mentioned that he was going to fight tonight, but he didn't elaborate on it, nor did he ask him, the military supervisor, to do something.
Sure enough, Lu Guan stuffed Song Qianzhi into the bed and went down to get dressed.
"If you don't go, I'll go and have a look."
Just as Song Qianzhi popped his head, he was patted by Lu Guan, so he had to shrink under the quilt.
"Come right back." Lu Guan lowered his head and touched Song Qian's forehead with his lips, and immediately went out of the tent like a gust of wind.
Song Qianzhi let out a breath, thought for a while, and whispered: "Zhou Xian, have you slept yet?"
Almost at the same time, Zhou Xian said: "Young Master..."
"Tell me." Song Qianzhi turned over, lying on his stomach under the quilt, stretched his hands on both sides of the quilt, wrapped himself into a rice dumpling, and only moved his head.
"What did Lord Hou want to say just now?"
"No, just chat casually. It's so noisy outside that I can't sleep." After Song Qianzhi woke up in the middle of the night, it was always difficult to fall asleep.
"How about we go and see?"
Song Qianzhi really wanted to go out and have a look. He thought for a while and said, "Forget it, Lu Guan has his own judgment. Don't you think that although he doesn't talk much, he is very accurate in seeing problems."
"When Mr. Lu was in Quzhou, he was the most powerful adviser around the sixth prince."
"Really?" Song Qianzhi's quilt was arched, he changed his posture, moved towards Zhou Xian's bed, almost lying on the edge of the bed, "What else have you heard?"
The tent was warm except for the quilt, but the camp bed was cold and hard. A gleam of light from the tent door cut the ground in half.
"It can't be regarded as hearing. Before being sent to the secretary province, the humble official has been secretly following His Majesty. His Majesty and Master Lu had a two-year relationship. Later, Master Lu did not know what he said in the letter, which angered His Majesty. , and then no more letters were passed.”
Only Song Qianzhi's shining eyes were exposed in the quilt roll.
"You don't know what he said?"
"I don't know. The Qilin Guard is different from the eunuchs who are close servants. Unless His Majesty expressly summons us, we can't show up at will."
"Then where are you all hiding?" Song Qianzhi said, "Aren't you a gentleman on the beam?"
"Sometimes on beams."
Song Qianzhi: "... Then how do you usually work on duty?"
"There is a shift every eight hours. In case of an emergency, the humble staff has been on duty for 24 hours at most. At that time, Sheng Jia was in the Nanzhou Palace."
"I have the impression that the Nanzhou Qingyun Sect's rebellion coincided with His Majesty's residence in Nanzhou, and the rebels set fire to the palace. Fortunately, on the eve of the incident, His Majesty suddenly decided to set off for a visit to a county under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhou prefectural capital. , His Majesty died in the sea of fire in Xinna, the palace after his fortune in Nanzhou. It is also an unsolved case in this dynasty, has it been solved? I don’t remember it.”
Zhou Xiandao: "Young Lord, I remember correctly, but there is one thing that is not known to the outside world. The concubine was only accompanied by her for less than two months before she became pregnant. That's why His Majesty insisted on ennobling her, and she also got the support of the Queen Mother." .”
Song Qianzhi's heart skipped a beat and he was shocked: "Is it true?"
"Really, so in this fire, one body and two lives were lost. His Majesty brought the woman's ashes back to the capital. I heard that it was a rich burial."
Song Qianzhi was silent for a while.This woman's luck, it's hard to say, she became pregnant so soon, and to be favored by the emperor almost reached the sky in one step.It was agreed, but Fu Mingshao encountered the only civil sect rebellion after he ascended the throne, and his unborn child was also buried in the sea of fire.
"Your Majesty has not had a son for so many years, and the empress has a miscarriage." It is a big event for the emperor to have no heir. Although Fu Mingshao is still young, in the royal family of Chu, the heir has always been the most important thing related to the country. .
Song Qianzhi thought again.
Fortunately, Fu Mingmao seems to have no son yet.
Fu Mingmao has been demoted to a commoner for so many years, I hope he is exhausted and has no time to give birth to a son.Thinking about it, Song Qianzhi felt that he was too wicked.
As time passed, the army outside had set off, but Lu Guan hadn't come back yet, Song Qianzhi guessed that Lu Guan had gone with the army, he was strong in martial arts, so he was not afraid of accidents.
When Song Qianzhi was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, let me ask you."
Zhou Xian was always sober, and when he heard this, he quickly responded.
"What happened to Gao Niande and Yan Licheng? Are they together?"
Zhou Xian coughed and said in embarrassment: "When the humble officer came to Qilin Guard, Yan Licheng had already betrayed him. Gao Niande was withdrawn and rarely interacted with the brothers, and the humble position did not know..."
"Come on! Didn't you hear any rumors? Didn't you hear that you asked Gao Niande to interrogate Yan Licheng?" Song Qianzhi threatened in a low voice, "The Qilin Guard will definitely be withdrawn. You are already a member of the Secretary Department. You You still owe me a life, tell me quickly, what's going on with them?"
"Didn't Young Master guess everything?" Zhou Xian still remembered that in Rongzhou, Gao Niande came back later than them for some reason, and Song Qianzhi used Gao Niande as a buckle to trick Yan Licheng into confessing to Fu Mingmao.
"I guessed it, I guessed it. They are brothers. Yan Licheng trusts and worries most about this brother. I don't know if there are many more." Song Qianzhi said, "No one can pry Yan Licheng's mouth away. As soon as this Gao Niande went to interrogation, he vomited everything out, no one would have thought that the two of them had an affair."
"Gao Niande and Yan Licheng..." Zhou Xian said hesitantly, "What's going on with Young Master and Master Lu, that's what's going on with them."
Song Qianzhi was embarrassed: "It's not the same thing."
Zhou Xian smiled, but didn't speak.
The tent was quiet for a while, and Song Qianzhi's voice sounded: "I said, do your Qilin Guards often have this... this..."
"Broken sleeve?"
"Ah, yes." Song Qianzhi was a little embarrassed, but he was really curious. The Qilin guards were all men, and all of them were of extraordinary appearance, and it was forbidden to marry a wife.There is no one to talk to all day long, facing a bunch of big and three rough brothers, and they are not very old. Any matter that Qilin Wei takes action must be difficult and not visible. Naturally, these boys are brothers who are born and died.On weekdays, they live and eat together, and they are full of blood, so there is no guarantee that they will not be gone.
"It's hard to say, so let's go to sleep." Song Qianzhi turned over, lay down, and closed his eyes.
Zhou Xian's voice came to Song Qianzhi's ears: "It's nothing. After entering the Qilin Guard, not only must life and death be disregarded, but the idea of starting a family is also forbidden. When you are still training in the Qilin Tomb, the master will strictly prohibit the children's affair. There are also relevant trainings..." Zhou paused, as if there was something hard to say, and then said, "There are men in the guards who stay together in private, but they take care of each other, and no one will make it clear. Once you go out on a mission, you can't even tell if you can come back, where is the heart that lasts forever?"
After a while, Song Qianzhi said: "It's good to support each other, isn't it?"
Zhou Xian gave a low laugh and said, "Qilin Guard has no home."
"What did you want to tell me just now?" Song Qianzhi changed the subject and didn't want to talk about this heavy topic again.
"Oh, if there is a chance, please ask the young master to say a few words to Miss Zhan Xing. You don't have to be too nice to me."
The wind roared outside the tent, and the footsteps could no longer be heard in the entire camp. The swift wind hit the door, bulged a ball, and then calmed down.
"I can't control it. My two maidservants are the ones who control me when I'm at home."
Zhou Xian still wanted to say something, but saw Song Qianzhi next to him stretching out a hand from under the quilt and making a gesture to silence his voice, so he stopped talking.
The two slept for less than an hour, Song Qianzhi felt someone coming in, but he couldn't open his eyes when he was half asleep and half awake.After a while, he felt that someone got into the quilt, and a familiar arm came to hug him, Song Qianzhi leaned sideways on Lu Guan's shoulder, hugged him with one hand and fell asleep.
·
In the violent sandstorm, a group of thirty cavalry marched forward with difficulty. Following a woman's crisp shout, the man on horseback turned over, led the horse to avoid the limelight, and went into the northwest woods to set up a tent.
The leading woman wore a black cloak, handing water and food from her hands, and a hand wearing a black leather glove stretched out from under the cloak.
"Commander, we're almost at Suxi County, so let's rest here, why don't we hang on for a while, and when we arrive at Suxi County, feel free to settle down."
The woman who was called the leader raised a hand.
The subordinates immediately shut up, bowed and waited for the woman to run out of food and water, packed up her things, and went to help build the tent.
The hood of the cloak was lifted, revealing a gleaming white forehead. The woman's high nose bridge was blocked by the white gauze, and her calm eyes were like a puddle of black water at the bottom of a cold winter abyss.
The people she brought moved quickly, with sensitive hands and feet, and quickly set up the tent, and one of her men asked her to enter the tent.
Just when the woman bent down to enter the tent, an extremely secret wolf howl came.
The woman's whole body stopped, and she subconsciously grasped the scimitar at her waist.
"Please lead in."
The woman's indifferent eyes glanced over her men, and she looked to the south where the howling of wolves came from. The place where the sky and the earth meet was a low hillside.
The second wolf howl sounded, much closer.
Scores of wolves howled one after another.
The woman waited for a while, the sound of the wind, the animal's feet hidden in the wind, the weak gurgling of the stream, the rustling of rats fleeing and drilling holes in the weeds, and the crisp sound of dry branches being broken by stones blown by the wind.
And the wolf howl that was familiar to her.
"Twelve horses." The woman glanced at her men, "Use barbed wire." After giving this instruction, the woman got into the tent.
·
Shortly after dawn.
The second brother in the inn finished urging the steamed buns in the kitchen, and when he returned to the front hall, he met an exquisite female guest coming downstairs, and greeted him out of habit.
Zhan Xing glanced at him and nodded: "I'll stay here tonight, I won't return the room. By the way, take care of my horse, and there will be money later."
A silver light drew an arc in midair.
It was two taels of broken silver. Xiaoer smiled and sang at the top of his voice, "Come on, I must ask someone to clean the girl's room, and I will take care of the horse."
Leaving the inn, Zhan Xing went to the house with the girl who took the medicine yesterday, stood at the corner of the street and took a look.
It was still early, and many people on the street put out their goods for sale, and there was a jewelry stall two steps away from Zhan Xing.
"How much does this bead cost?" Zhan Xing picked up a bead flower and stood sideways, paying attention to the big house, which looks like the facade of a business. In such a house, one enters the wing room, and then walks in This is the main house and the backyard.
"Miss, you have a good eye. These begonia red beads are hard to find. My family has them all in Suxi County. This is the last one. Someone told me to keep it..." The peddler gritted his teeth with regret on his face. He stomped his feet and brought the bead flower over to install it, "Sanliang, this begonia red bead flower is yours."
The corner of Zhan Xing's mouth twitched, and he was about to negotiate the price when a young lady came by.
"Brother Hu, I think you're coaxing other foreigners again."
The peddler immediately turned his face and waved his hand: "I'm here for business, sister of the Lin family, the quality of these pearls is really good, if it wasn't for someone to pre-order, Brother Hu will give it to you for nothing."
Zhan Xing said with a smile: "I haven't said I want it yet." She turned her face away, her eyebrows moved, and then her whole face became lively, smiling like a flower, "I always only like white, this girl likes this pearl flower , I'll leave it to you."
"Brother Hu, what did you just say?"
Hu Er was devastated, and struggling to death, said: "Who doesn't know that you are Lin Yuanwai's palm beads, you can see this broken thing." Hu Er took out the beads and wanted to put them back, when his wrist was suddenly pointed Xing grabbed it, and was about to yell, his face turned livid, he yelled twice, howling like a pig, "Sister Lin, take it, take it, I'll give it to you for nothing, hurry, take it away..." Zhuhua came from Hu Dropped off secondhand and is falling in the box.
Zhan Xing closed the jewelry box and handed it to the girl with a smile.
"A gentleman doesn't take what others love, but if a girl likes it, just take it away."
Hu Er muttered: "What kind of gentleman... two little ladies..." Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the young woman who was pinching his hand staring at him. Bottom drilled past, fled back into the house, and slammed the door shut.
"Hahahaha." The "Sister of the Lin family" with a vegetable basket on her arm put the bead flower into the basket, counted out fifty Wen, and put it on the stall.
"My name is Lin Hong. What do you call this sister? My house is just across the street. If my sister doesn't mind, why don't you come to my house for a cup of tea?"
Zhan Xing hesitated, and said, "Is there anyone else at your house?"
"This shop is for relatives in the family. It will take two months for someone to live in it, and it will take an hour for the two craftsmen we invited to come."
"The lady came so early?"
Lin Hongnen blushed, lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, like ripples blown by the spring breeze, gentle and moving.
"I'm just here to take a look, bring some food, and water the flowers and plants in the yard. Will my sister come with me?"
"Go, I'm from a foreign country. I've walked a long way. Does my sister have good tea?"
Then Lin Hong immediately opened up the conversation: "Our family also has a tea shop. There is no good tea here, but it is not bad. I can order tea. My sister might as well sit down."
Hearing that there was no sound outside, Hu Er moved the wooden door away, and the sun shone on his stall. He put away the fifty Wen coins, and curled his mouth.
"It's really unlucky, little girl." Then she lay down on the stall listlessly, her small eyes chasing the slim backs of the girls, and she couldn't turn her eyes away.
☆, Wonderful Girl ([-])
After entering the shop, Lin Hong walked through a door, and the sun was cast from a small patio. Below was a square pool, in which there were two lazy bastards.
A cold and damp dusty smell rushed towards her face in the air. Zhan Xing looked around and fixed her eyes on a very thin dark mark on the ground. She dipped a little saliva on her fingers and wiped it with her fingertips.
"Sister, sit down for a while, I'll boil a pot of water." Lin Hong's voice came from the courtyard.
Zhan Xing sighed.
This was exactly what she wanted, she lowered her head and sniffed her fingers, the familiar smell on her nose told her that the trace was blood.The blood that had dried up only melted a little, sticking to the finger as a tea-like dark color.Zhan Xing wiped the blood from his fingers on the back of the wooden tabletop, and he was even more convinced that there was an injured person here yesterday, and the wound was treated in this small shop.
When she followed, Lin Hong closed the shop after entering the door. Considering that the wounded man was really the man in black, then his martial arts skills were extremely high, and any omission might startle the snake, so Zhan Xing went back immediately.It's just that Zhanxing didn't expect that the injured person didn't live here, so she couldn't be sure if that person was the man in black who kidnapped her that day.
There had to be a chance to listen to the wounded man, and she could make out his voice whenever he spoke.Zhan Xing secretly thought, all this can only be done in secret, otherwise, if the wounded person hiding in the Lin's shop is the man in black who sneaked up on Zhou Xian that night, that man cannot be captured without a fight, and she is no match for it alone. As long as the identity of the man in black is confirmed, he can first go to the Zhenbei military camp to find the young master to explain his reasons and bring someone to arrest him.
"Sister." Lin Hong walked over with a smile on her face, and took out Choshi, the tea stove and other utensils, and after setting them up, it really looked like that.
"When will the craftsmen come? Are they repairing the roof?" Zhan Xing raised his index finger and pointed upwards.
"Well, a few days ago, the Heidi people attacked the city, thanks to these two big brothers who helped our family defend against the enemy. That big brother Su came to our place because of the war in the suburbs. He was a mason before he left his hometown." Lin Hong While washing and ironing the tea set while talking, "Those two big brothers won't come too early, I came so early to sneak out to play." She blinked as she spoke, revealing a provocative charm at the end of her eyes.
"Surname Su?" Zhan Xing thought for a while and asked, "Are both of them surnamed Su?"
"No, they are not biological brothers, they seem to be senior brothers. They learned the craft from the same mason. There is another one who is in the same family as me, also surnamed Lin, and is the junior brother of the two brothers." Lin Hong blushed.
The tea whisk produced thick milky flowers, and Zhan Xing stared at Lin Hong's hand in a daze.
"Thank you." The tea cream is made from the above-mentioned high-quality tea leaves, and the quiet and sweet fragrance lingers in the nose, which immediately relieves a little sleepiness.Zhan Xing finished his drink, ordered another, and sipped it slowly, as if casually chatting with Lin Hong for a while about the two good men who stood up.
"Brother Lin must have a good appearance, right?" Zhan Xing asked with a smile.
Lin Hong lowered her head, twirled her fingers around a lock of black hair hanging on her chest, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "It's very beautiful. When the two big brothers come, I can see my sister."
Zhan Xing teased, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your brother Lin?"
Lin Hong was obviously taken aback for a moment, then blushed and said angrily, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhan Xing smiled without saying a word, picked up his cup and took a sip.
Lin Hong worried: "My sister won't be really... You haven't met those two elder brothers yet, you definitely won't fall in love with them, they are not that handsome..."
This girl is too innocent and cute. If she hadn't been teased by herself, Lin Hong would never have thought that the big brother Lin in her heart would fall in love with other women, and she would never have regarded other women of the right age as objects to be guarded against.While drinking tea, Zhan Xing sighed with emotion. She had been in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and the maids were messing around, as if they were all innocent children, but they no longer had the charming and naive energy of Lin Hong. Its master, each has its own calculations.
After three cups of tea, Zhan Xing got up to say goodbye.
Lin Hong was surprised: "Sister, didn't you wait for those two elder brothers?"
Zhan Xing brushed off his skirt: "My sister reminded me just now that I was not deceived, and I came to have a cup of tea because of fate. I don't know your two good brothers, so don't bother me."
"Oh." Lin Hong pouted, sent Zhan Xing out, stood on the door and held Zhan Xing's hand, very reluctant, "It's hard for me to make such a good friend as my sister, and I don't know her name yet .”
"My surname is Song." Zhan Xing said lightly, "If there is a destiny, there will be a chance to meet again. By the way, that pearl flower is just right for you. If you wear it, your brother Lin will be very happy to see it."
Lin Hong opened her eyes wide: "Really?!"
Zhan Xing curled up his mouth: "Really, my sister's appearance is extraordinary, her skin is fair, her hair is black, and the begonia is red and spring | The color is very strong, which makes my sister beautiful and unparalleled."
"Then sister, put it on for me now." Lin Hong took out the jewelry box.
Zhan Xing put it on for her, looked around with satisfaction, and smiled.
"Thank you sister, where does sister live? Can I still find you?"
Zhan Xing glanced out, there were more people on the street, and it was already time for every family to go out to buy.The peddler at the jewelry stall across the street was listlessly lying on his stomach, glancing here and there from time to time, like a thief.
"There is a Beikou Inn in the county, do you know?"
Lin Hong smiled happily and nodded her head: "Yeah! I'll go find my sister to play later. How many days will you stay in the county? Why waste the money, why don't you come and live at my house, and I'll talk to daddy."
Zhan Xing quickly stopped her: "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, don't bother."
"So soon..." Lin Hong's face drooped, and she forced a smile, "Is sister free tomorrow afternoon?"
Zhan Xing really didn't make any arrangements. Her purpose in coming to this county was to track down the man in black who held Zhou Xian hostage, and find out which force he was from.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I'll go find you, take you around our Suxi County, take you to eat delicious food, and then listen to our local opera, how about it?"
Zhan Xing touched Lin Hong's head with his hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, after lunch tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the inn, room No. [-], Tianzi."
After the two made an agreement, Zhan Xing didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left.

in the military camp.
Song Qianzhi got up early in the morning and went to Bai Guyou to assign him the duty of supervising the army. He didn't know anything about fighting, so it was up to Bai Guyou to make the decision. He came in a hurry to make food coupons for Bai Guyou.
"Before I left Beijing, I sent a letter to Yang Shangshu of the Household Department, urging two batches of food, one for disaster relief food for Rongzhou, and the other for food and payment for the Zhenbei Army."
Bai Guyou saw that Song Qianzhi was young, but he spoke and acted with a well-thought-out plan, thinking of his grandfather Zhou Taifu and Empress Dowager Zhou, he said with a smile: "Nephew is thoughtful."
Bai Guyou didn't seem to attach much importance to this batch of rations, Song Qianzhi asked, "Is there enough food and grass in the army?"
In just one or two sentences, Song Qianzhi was able to make such a judgment, and Bai Guyou looked serious.
"Sun Junye gave a lot of support to solve the crisis in Mengzhou. In addition, after the Heidi people came in from Baimingdu, they almost always supplied supplies on the spot. Every time they gave up a place, they had to give up a granary. Of course, we The army can't take too much, it's much easier to fight against Heidi than to fight in a bitter cold place with little food and clothing."
Local supply is also an important supply method in combat, but it will increase the burden on the local people. In addition to the disaster year, after autumn, many places have different degrees of disasters.Mengzhou is an exception. In addition, Lingzhou, for example, was not affected by the disaster.
"So it's still necessary to remind the household department. This is what Mr. Yang promised before I left Beijing last time. Mr. Yang is a generation behind me. I believe he will not bully me, a junior."
Bai Guyou stared intently at Song Qianzhi for a while, shook his head with a smile, and sighed: "You and your mother don't look alike at all."
Song Qianzhi's brows twitched, not to mention that he was like his bastard father, that would have to be a fight, but he was still afraid to fight with such a famous general as Bai Guyou.
"Like your grandfather, when I met Taifu Zhou, he was already a man who knew the destiny, but your facial features are very similar to him. I heard that Taifu was also the dreamer of many ladies in Beijing when he was young. I must want to take my daughter There are many people who marry you."
grandfather.Song Qianzhi silently read these two words in his heart.Song Qianzhi's grandfather had not been with him for a very long time, but this person who was often mentioned and even had an influence in the court was like a ray of heroic soul that would never go away, standing by him behind.It is Song Qianzhi's eternal regret that he did not get close to his grandfather and learned more principles of being a man and an official from him.
At that time Song Qianzhi was too young, and he couldn't understand many words that Zhou Taifu said. When he understood, he was no longer there.
Outside the tent, footsteps and horseshoes are hurried, and there are often people walking around in the army. Song Qianzhi and Bai Guyou agreed that he would not interfere and not talk too much about how to use troops. There is only one condition, let Bai Guyou|Take him with you when you act,
