Chapter 1504: Centrifugal Departure
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lin Wan got up to the sound of birds and insects.
Next to the bed was a neatly folded skirt and a jacket to wear. The morning in the valley was a little cold, and Lin Wan was wearing the clothes that Xu Xian'er had prepared for her, and the size and thickness were just right. I couldn't help but be more grateful to Xu Xian'er for her carefulness and thoughtfulness.
When I walked outside the door, I smelled the fresh and cool mountain air and the fragrance of flowers. Lin Wan took a deep breath, and the air was still mixed with the smell of rice that made her feel refreshed.
Lin Wan turned her head to look at the kitchen next door, only to see that Xu Xian'er had already gotten up. Dressed in an extremely ordinary linen white dress, with her hair loosely tied in a bun, she stood by the stove, holding a pot lid in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other, stirring the rice porridge in the pot.
Xu Xian'er stirred the rice porridge well, then put down the wooden spoon, covered the pot, turned around and walked out. Seeing that Lin Wan had already gotten up, he immediately smiled and said happily: "Wan'er, you have already gotten up, and I was about to call you." The porridge is already cooked, you prepare it, and you can eat it in a while. ”
Lin Wan looked at Xu Xian'er's smile and was a little stupid. Although she is dressed so plainly, like an ordinary housewife, with her charming face, she also has a beauty that is enough to turn everyone upside down.
No wonder, Zhou Zongming, the first emperor of the Great Feudal Kingdom, would send her to Nanyue; no wonder, Lan Shengtian and Hong Qiongming knew that she was sent by Zhou Zongming, or that she had been fighting for most of her life for this woman.
Seeing Lin Wan looking at herself in a daze, Xu Xian'er couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head, she had seen this situation a lot, of course she was not surprised.
Xu Xian'er picked up the hot water kettle beside her and stuffed it into Lin Wan's hand, and then gently pushed her out, urging softly: "Why are you stunned? Hurry up and freshen up, the soldiers who will deliver things will come in a while, you don't want to be seen unkempt, right?"
Lin Wan smiled, took the kettle, obediently walked to the well, fetched the well water by herself, mixed it with hot water, and simply freshened up.
Sure enough, after Lin Wan finished grooming and was about to walk back, he saw two little soldiers in civilian clothes, carrying a large basket of things, slowly walking from the opposite hillside.
When Xu Xian'er saw them coming, she hurriedly returned to the kitchen, filled two bowls of porridge, brought them out and put them on the stone table in the courtyard, and watched them get closer and closer with a smile.
When the two little soldiers saw Xu Xian'er, they immediately smiled all over their faces, happily quickened their pace, took three steps and made two steps, ran to Xu Xian'er, bowed and saluted, and said a word of Nanyue Kingdom, Lin Wan couldn't understand it, and he didn't know what they called Xu Xian'er.
Xu Xian'er was very friendly, looked at the ingredients, clothes and daily utensils in the basket, nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the kitchen, and then pointed to the rice porridge on the stone table, and said a few short words with them in the language of Nanyue.
The two little soldiers hurriedly thanked Xu Xian'er respectfully, and then hurriedly sent the big basket of things into the kitchen. After coming out, he walked to the stone table, picked up the rice porridge on the table, and drank it in a big gulp.
After drinking the rice porridge, the two little soldiers walked to the well, fetched water to wash the porridge bowl, put it back in the kitchen, and then hugged Xu Xian'er deeply, and turned around happily.
Lin Wan had been standing quietly under the elm tree and looking at everything in front of him, his heart full of doubts. Because, the two little soldiers just glanced at her when they passed by Lin Wan, and they didn't seem to care about her existence at all.
The footsteps of the two little soldiers were very fast, and after a while, they disappeared in the opposite mountain forest, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lin Wan walked to Xu Xian'er's side, frowned and asked, "Aunt Xian, are they people sent by Hongqiong? Why are you so good to them? They are also respectful to you, as if they listen to you very much." But will they tell Hong Qiong that I've woken up?"
Xu Xian'er smiled faintly and said, "Of course, they are Hong Qiong's soldiers, and they are only sent to send me things because they are more well-behaved and likable on weekdays." Whatever they see, they will naturally report it to Hong Qiong, but don't worry, Hong Qiong shouldn't have time to take care of the two of us these days. ”
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Why? Could it be that the Nanyue Kingdom and the Great Feng Kingdom have already fought?"
Xu Xian'er gently patted Lin Wan's trembling little hand, shook her head slightly, and said, "Last time Hong Qiong sent you here, he said that the emperor ordered him to rush back to Yuecheng immediately, so I guess he shouldn't be able to come back in a short time." ”
Lin Wan nodded suddenly in realization, patted his chest, smiled reassuringly, let out a sigh, and sighed, "It's good not to fight." ”
Xu Xian'er glanced at Lin Wan meaningfully, and said helplessly: "The battle will be fought sooner or later, and you don't have to take it too seriously." For so many years, Hong Qiong has been preparing for this battle, and he will never give up his long-cherished wish for anyone. ”
Lin Wan was stunned, bit her lower lip, and asked suspiciously: "But, Aunt Xian, the big war is coming, since Hong Qiong attaches so much importance to this battle, why would he anger the emperor of Nanyue at this time, arrest you, and hide here?"
Xu Xian'er was also stunned, as if she didn't expect Lin Wan to know about the entanglement between her and Lan Shengtian and Hong Qiong. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It seems that Nuo'er told you everything." After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Wan'er, when Hong Qiong sent you here last time, he didn't tell you your identity, but I guess you must be from the Zhao family, right?"
Lin Wan smiled and nodded, and said, "Aunt Xian, although I don't have the surname Zhao, I am the niece of General Zhao, Hong Qiong just wants to use me to exchange conditions with my eldest uncle, and I want to easily knock on the gate of Fengnancheng without spending a single soldier." ”
Xu Xian'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, and said, "I see, I originally thought you were the young lady of the Zhao family, but I didn't expect that you would be Princess Wan of the Great Sealing Kingdom." No wonder Hong Qiong attaches so much importance to it that he personally sent you to me. With your identity and the forces behind you, it is indeed enough to put the Great Feudal Kingdom in a difficult situation. ”
Lin Wan sighed heavily, smiled again, and said, "Aunt Xian, let's not talk about these unhappy things, it's useless for us to sigh here." Let's go have breakfast, I'm already hungry. ”
Xu Xian'er smiled, nodded, and walked into the kitchen with Lin Wan. Lin Wan lifted the lid of the pot and immediately smelled the rich aroma of porridge and a faint fragrance of flowers. It seems that this white porridge is not a simple white porridge, but it is also cooked with flower dew.
Lin Wan happily filled two bowls of hot porridge and carefully brought them out. Xu Xian'er also brought out a few side dishes that had been prepared a long time ago and placed them on the stone table.
