, handed over the mother to give spring shirts, and Zhu Ling returned to Luotuo
.
On this day, he sent away Wang Zifu, Wu Zilan, Liu Ye and others, Qi Han returned to Wentan Pavilion alone to sit down, and as soon as he sat down, he heard a report from the guards at the door, and Mrs. Ding's personal slave came from Qian County to visit.
Qi Han felt slightly surprised, and thought that something had happened to Mrs. Ding, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Then he saw a small mustache standing in the corridor, about thirteen or fourteen years old, grinning at him, holding a gray and blue cloth bag in his hand, and handed it over.
"I've seen the eldest prince. This is a spring shirt made by the lady herself, and the slave must be handed over to the son. β
Qi Han's eyebrows softened, and he smiled at the maid and said, "Go back and thank my mother for me." Tell her that I miss her very much, and hope that she will take care of herself. β
The little maid responded with a crisp voice, and motioned for Qi Han to open it and take a look.
Qi Han unwrapped the burden and picked up the clothes to take a closer look.
It is a spring shirt that is not thick or thin, with wide robe swinging sleeves, moderate size, and is suitable for wearing in the warm and cold season. The stitches are dense and hidden, and they are extremely finely made, and every stitch and thread is sewn by themselves. The fabric is selected from the finest arrowroot, the cotton is warm and soft, and the handmade textile sewing is as if all the threads are stained with the warm atmosphere of the machine and Ding's working day and night.
Qi Han thought of Mrs. Ding's beautiful face, and remembered the fine calluses between her fingers when she rubbed her cheeks with her hands on weekdays, and couldn't help but feel sour.
β¦β¦ This is not just a piece of clothing, but carries all her thoughts about her son.
Madame said that she had planned to make a thick winter coat for her son, but she expected to return to Qiaocheng again, and this journey delayed time. Now that the weather is getting warmer, she removed the original cotton wool from the inside and sewed it for you again, so she ordered me to send it. The maid was clever and well-behaved, and when she saw Qi Han looking at Ge Pao without turning her eyes, she explained it to him.
Qi Han nodded and didn't speak for a while. The corners of his eyes were dark and a little moist.
He lived for two lifetimes, and his parents' relationship was very weak, and it was the first time that someone had sewn clothes for him with his own hands. In the previous life, I got together less and separated from my parents since I was a child, and I spent less time together, so I couldn't cultivate feelings, although the blood relationship was deep, but it also seemed estranged. Sometimes the training is so tight that you may not see him once a year, let alone know his body size and tailor it for him. He has never been in a serious relationship or had a girlfriend, so he has never received a scarf, so he didn't expect to come here...... There are people who are so concerned about him, concerned about his well-being, and sewed a deep coat for him with a needle and a thread.
Qi Han rubbed his nose quietly.
He was also informal, and immediately took off his robe and gave it a try. Mrs. Ding's hands are very skillful, the robe is dressed properly, the restrained and delicate stitches, the high-quality soft fabric, and the cotton-white color make Qi Han's face more noble and handsome.
The little maid looked at it for a while, and the tips of her ears turned red, until Qi Han asked her, "How?"
She clapped her hands stupidly: "Good, good-looking." β
Qi Han didn't take it off anymore, and went into the room dressed himself, waving to the maid while motioning for her to follow up and get his return gift to Mrs. Ding. After a while, the maid was pregnant with a golden brocade box that Qu Feng swayed and left happily, intending to return to Qian County to resume her life.
Qi Han stood in front of the window, and when he saw the little mustache walking into the porch, he was stopped by a group of guards, and he chattered with them and blushed, and finally was forcibly searched, and then he was released. He shook his head secretly, but for the first time in his heart, he did not have a grudge against Cao Cao. It's just that Mrs. Ding has moved him too much. He thought, maybe a mother is kind, a father is strict, Cao Cao is a great hero, maybe even more so. As soon as his heart was relieved, he thought, I should be more considerate of Cao Cao in the future.
Through the window, he sat listening to the water, muttered for a long time, and poured himself a cup of tea. The cooked tea soup is thick and green, like soup, which can iron the body, refresh the body, and have a unique spicy taste. Qi Han held the teacup, looked at the wisps of pale white gas that rose up, and seemed to see that pair of deep and quiet eyes again, and that familiar figure, his heart throbbed inexplicably.
He frowned, stopped thinking deeply, lowered his head and slowly took a sip of tea.
The day before yesterday, when chatting with Liu Ye, Wu Zilan and others, I learned the news of Qingzhou.
It turned out that Yuan Shu heard that Cao Cao sent troops to intercept the attack, but was blocked by Zhu Ling and Liu Bei on the road, unable to pass the checkpoint, unable to defect to Yuan Tan, and under the mixture of exhaustion, he couldn't afford to fall ill. He had no way out, so he had to retreat to Shouchun. When passing through Lishan, he had no choice but to go to his old rebel generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan, but was mercilessly refused. At this point, Yuan Shu's army was completely out of food, and retreated all the way to Jiangting, and there were only thirty wheat crumbs to eat in the army. At that time, the Huang River was frozen for hundreds of miles, the sky was cold, Yuan Shu came out of the tent to look at the soldiers who were lying down and dying in the four fields, his eyes were about to crack for a while, he shouted, and he vomited blood and died.
After Yuan Shu's death, his only remaining remnants of the army scattered and fled, and Zhu Ling, Liu Bei and others would return to the army in advance.
Qi Hanmo counted the time, and the news reached Xu Du, and Yuan Shu must have been defeated for many days. If there is no accident, Zhu Ling should have been to Xiapi at this time and is on his way back to Beijing, maybe...... Maybe it's coming.
He took a big sip of tea, and his thoughts gradually became impetuous, and he began to suffer from gains and losses.
Thinking of the news that Zhu Ling might bring back Zhao Yun, Qi Han couldn't sit still, got up and paced for a while, thinking of finding something to distract himself, so he took a crane from the hanger and walked out.
Xun Yu said to him that day, please visit Guo Jia when you have time. But he never had the opportunity to go. Now idle, and impetuous, just asked Cao Cao to go out and visit Guo Jia's mansion - since returning to Xu, Guo Jia often said that he was not sick, but he had never seen it once. But for some reason, from Xun Yu's words, he actually felt a subtlety - it seemed that there was some strange connection between him and Guo Jia.
Qi Han had already stepped out of the door, and suddenly heard a familiar voice from the porch, he paused for a moment, and his heart beat violently.
Sure enough, I heard the sound of the grinding of the armor, and the footsteps of the people came with the wind, and they stepped quickly, turned the corridor, revealing a dusty face, and there was still a trace of anger between the eyebrows, it was Zhu Ling.
Qi Han secretly clenched his fists.
ββ¦β¦ What kind of general Wuwei, but a small leader of the Praetorian Guard, dares to be so domineering! Look at those pair of thief eyes, they are all born to the top of the head! I am also a captain who begs Kou, and when I come to see the prince, I even have to search my body......
Zhu Ling muttered and scolded while leaving, he might as well take a look at Qi Han at the threshold, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "The world, the prince of the world......" hurriedly clasped his hands and saw a big gift.
Qi Han nodded at him, turned around and went back to the room, and Zhu Ling hurriedly followed.
After the two of them sat down, Qi Han looked up and down, and saw Zhu Ling's embarrassed expression, two big black greens under his eyes, his armor was torn, and he was full of bloody dust, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly: "What happened to you? Could it be that you didn't obey my orders and led the army to stop Liu Bei?"
Zhu Ling immediately shook his head and explained: "How dare the last general not listen to the words of the prince! The prince is like a god, after the scout came to the news of Yuan Shu's death, I was about to return to the army, but Liu Bei suddenly proposed to lead the troops to leave alone, and also said that he would go to Runan to find out the truth...... I was as good as a stream, and immediately let him go, but who knew that the deputy general Lu Zhao did not listen to the order, mobilized all the men and horses under his command, and pursued him at night...... I was afraid that he would lose, so I had to follow. Halfway through the chase, he saw that the two sides had already fought each other, and they had suffered heavy losses, and the deputy general Lu Zhao was cut off by Guan Yu with a knife!"
Qi Han's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
"When I saw that the road was dead, and that it was useless to remain, I was going to leave. Liu Bei hurried to see me off," Zhu Ling sneered, "He burst into tears, thanked me repeatedly, and praised me for being reasonable, saying that the way was not good-hearted, and he wanted to harm them, so he had to kill him to protect himself." I had to pretend to be polite with him for a while, and then I led the army to retreat......"
After Zhu Ling finished speaking, he suddenly saw Qi Han raise his head, his eyes were a little stagnant: "Wenbo (Zhu Ling)...... Did you leak out about what I saw you that day?" he didn't know what he thought, and his face turned a little pale.
Zhu Ling shook his head like a rattle: "How come?!, Shizi, you told me not to leak it, I will never mention it to outsiders." β
Qi Han put his finger to his lips and said, "...... My father was clearly aware of this. β
Zhu Ling is not stupid, after thinking about it carefully, he understood it: "It turns out that Lu Zhao got the prime minister's secret order early?......! He would suddenly disobey my orders. β
"Not only that," Qi Han's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You are not familiar with military affairs, and all the matters related to the establishment of grain and grass are handed over to Lu Zhao." Maybe he didn't have more than 5,000 men, or maybe ...... There are also generals who are really in charge of the army, but you don't know it. β
Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, although he does not doubt Liu Bei, but in order to prevent trouble, he must arrange more than one person to recruit him.
Zhu Ling pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes! No wonder I saw that there were not many 5,000 men and horses left under Liu Bei's hands, and it turned out that there was a big fight and suffered a secret loss! That Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also quite tired with their expressions, and they were afraid that in addition to the road moves, there would be other fierce generals who would have a vicious battle with them, and they would lose both......
"I'll talk about that later. Qi Han frowned, waved his hand at Zhu Ling, and motioned for him to silence,
He was in turmoil at this time, and what he was worried about was something else!
Since Cao Cao knew that he had arranged for Zhu Ling not to stop Liu Bei, it meant that the conversation that day had been leaked...... Then the second thing he entrusted to Zhu Ling had already been exposed to Cao Cao?!
Qi Han remembered the deep, unremarkable, smiling eyes when Cao Cao looked at him in the past few days, only to feel a chill down his spine, and an indescribable shock and panic.
He thought about it, but he didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly he raised his head and looked at the roofβthere was no one standing on the tile.
Zhu Ling followed his line of sight, and also looked at the beams and roofs, and then saw Qi Han suddenly get up, walked to the window, put his hands on the stone platform, and bent down to open a small piece of plantain-
A small yellow door looked up in astonishment under the banana leaves, and was meeting Qi Han's gaze. His small pupils contracted sharply in an instant, and he stared at Qi Han abruptly, obviously frightened. Qi Han furrowed his eyebrows, swept over his curled figure that almost blended in with the stone wall, and secretly sighed at the professionalism of this person eavesdropping on the corner of the wall-he had been in Wentan Pavilion for a long time today, and this little yellow door didn't even hear the sound of breathing, let alone the slightest sound of squirrel, which showed that he had been hiding for an unknown amount of time, maybe he hadn't even moved his fingertips, and his endurance was comparable to that of a ninja in Dongying.
The little yellow door was so frightened that his liver was broken, and he suddenly jumped up, knocked a big green bag on the windowsill on his forehead, and ran away like a rabbit regardless of the pain.
ββ¦β¦ This thief, I still have to jump down and crush him!" Zhu Ling was so angry that he looked at the back of the little yellow door and fled, and smacked it. But he thought to himself: "When you enter the door, you should search your body, and listen to the bottom of the window." Alas, it turned out that the rumors were true, and the prince really lost the favor of the prime minister......"
At this point, it is self-evident how the conversation of that day was leaked.
When the person ran away, Qi Han turned back with a pale face: "Have you been to Xiapi? What happened to you?"
Since Cao Cao knew that he wanted to contact Zhao Yun, it was impossible not to take advantage of it...... He was most afraid that Zhu Ling would not handle it properly, and he had already given Zhao Yun 166 reading network at this moment
