Chapter 263: This Peace of Mind Is My Township (4) Three Watches
On the second day, when Zhu Yao was woken up by the maidservant, the sky was already bright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And the felt blanket beside her was already cold, from which it could be judged that Boyan should have been up for a while.
Zhu Yao was served by the maidservant and dressed, and after washing, Boyan opened the curtain and came in. It brings a grassy smell peculiar to the early morning of the prairie.
Seeing Zhu Yao in front of the dressing mirror, Boyan's eyes flashed. Then he ordered the maidservant to serve breakfast. It's been a while since I came to the grassland, but this is the first time Zhu Yao has eaten an authentic grassland breakfast. Looking at the steamed buns and cheese stacked on the table in front of him, Zhu Yao frowned slightly. She really can't get used to breakfast here.
When she was not married, she tried everything to avoid these foods.
"What, these are not to your taste?" Bo Yan asked when he saw that Zhu Yao didn't move.
Zhu Yao smiled fakely, shook his head, and then stubbornly picked up the bowl of goat's milk in front of him, closed his eyes, and swallowed it quickly into his stomach without taste. But even so, when she put down the bowl, she still felt the goat's milk churning in her stomach. Zhu Yao's face turned pale, and she couldn't care about any manners anymore, so she hunched over and rushed out of the tent, and spit it out with a whoa.
Boyan followed out of the tent and ordered the maid to come forward to serve, but he stood at the door of the tent and had no intention of approaching at all. When Zhu Yao stopped vomiting, Boyan looked at Zhu Yao and said lightly: "Do you know that the goat milk you just wasted can save the lives of several soldiers during the winter march!" Zhu Yao heard the coldness in his words, and turned her head to look over, Boyan's brown eyes reflected a ghostly light that she couldn't see through in the morning sun.
After Boyan said this coldly, he raised his feet and went to the training ground, and he didn't show up again for a day.
Zhu Yao sat in the empty tent, and for the first time felt that this tent was so big!
Boyan showed up just after dark. Zhu Yao instructed the maid to serve the rice, and the simple two side dishes were roasted with a leg of mutton.
The two sat opposite each other and finished their dinner quietly. After the maidservant cleaned up, Boyan sat down under the light and read a book. Zhu Yao waited for a while, and when he found that he didn't have to fulfill his marital obligations at all, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Then I went to bed on my own.
Bo Yan turned his back to the back of the bed, and when he heard Zhu Yao's whispered breathing, his back stiffened, and then he relaxed again.
A few days after the marriage, Boyan led the army south to the expedition.
Zhu Yao mixed in with the recruits, and the oversized brim of her hat blocked her view and helped her block the view of others. Holding the brim of his hat, Zhu Yao followed the team while pricking up his ears to listen to the discussion of the people next to him.
"Listen to our general, after this battle, our family will be able to get the land. My parents and sister won't have to wander around. Zhu Yao tilted her head, and it was a small soldier on her left who spoke. The childish face is full of beautiful visions for the future life.
Zhu Yao couldn't help but think of those child soldiers in the late stage of World War II, who sacrificed their young lives for an illusory dream. But the army led by Boyan was obviously different, and although there were inevitably sacrifices in the war, he was victorious in the end. He seized land from the Han Chinese for these nomads, saving their descendants from wandering.
"Yes, when the war is over, our family will be able to get a share of the land. Hey, where is your home?" a soldier walking on Zhu Yao's right hand side happily talked to another soldier. Seeing that Zhu Yao never spoke, he stretched out his arm and smashed Zhu Yao's arm.
Zhu Yao lowered her voice and said, "I have it at home." With that, he was one step behind the two of them, and hurried into the grass beside the road, pretending to be convenient.
When the two of them saw her like this, they both laughed good-naturedly.
Bo** walked ahead on his horse, heard the laughter that erupted from the troops behind him, glanced back, and ordered the people beside him: "Go to the back and see the situation." ā
"Yes!" the man beside him answered, turned his horse's head and went back.
Most of the people who followed behind were newly recruited soldiers, and there was a squad leader for every hundred people. The captain of Zhu Yao's team was the soldier on Zhu Yao's left hand side before.
At this time, when I saw someone coming in front of me, I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak. I finally explained what happened.
"My lord, I found it out, it's just a small soldier to make it convenient, which makes everyone laugh. After listening to this, the man reported to Boyan. Boyan nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything more. These newly recruited soldiers are still young, and they are the age when they love to play and make trouble, as long as they do not violate military discipline, they will generally pass.
The troops traveled for two days, and saw the first city at noon on the third day.
This is a small city on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, which has been harassed by horse bandits all the year round, and the residents of the city have moved away if they have the ability, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. Even so, the horse bandits did not let go of this place, and came over to disturb them twice in three days.
Boyan ordered the army to be stationed two kilometers away from the city, and then took a short rest himself, and rode into the city with only two subordinates.
Zhu Yao nestled on top of her bunk, kneading her feet through a layer of socks. After two days of sleepless high-intensity exercise, if she hadn't exercised her physical strength in the previous few tasks, she would have been lying down by now.
There were red blood stains seeping out through the socks, and Zhu Yao could also feel a heart-piercing pain when kneading. I thought that there must have been a blood blister under the soles of the feet, and now the blood blisters have burst, and the blood has been stained on the socks. Zhu Yao looked at the tent, everyone else was hurrying to rest at the moment, snoring one after another.
Zhu Yao carefully took off her socks, the socks on the soles of her feet were already glued to the soles of her feet, and when she pulled them off, she took off a layer of skin and flesh, and Zhu Yao, who was in pain, gritted her teeth. But she couldn't shout out loud, and the tip of her tongue was numb when she bit it at the end.
And several soldiers in a tent are now sleeping upside down, but no one notices Zhu Yao's abnormality.
took out a new pair of socks from the package she was carrying, and pressed some pain-relieving Chinese medicine on the soles of her feet at random, and Zhu Yao hurried up and fell asleep.
No one knew what Boyan had told the soldiers who were defending the city, but what everyone knew was that by the time they were woken up by an emergency shout, the city had already chosen to surrender.
Zhu Yao's brain was still a little dizzy because of lack of sleep, and suddenly he heard a burst of cheers from the army. Everyone happily hugged the people around them and laughed happily. Zhu Yao was also reported by a big man beside her, looking at everyone in a daze, still not understanding what was happening.
