12The people returned to the court

Tang Ai almost turned his back.

Poor, one, point! Back, pass, go!

"I'm not used to bathing with other people! You get me out! Out - out! She held on to the big bathtub, and the water in the basin was shocked three feet away, wetting the left half of Xiao Yu's body.

Xiao Yu stopped, his elegant and white face was still smiling, and his eyes were like peach blossoms in bloom.

At this time, half of his body was drenched in water, and the body of the smock was slightly clear, and the missing right arm and one sleeve were empty, a little scorching, and by the faint and flickering light, he gave people the illusion that he would be feathered and ascended to the immortal.

"Tang Ai, I thought that the two of us shared life and death in Goryeo, and we could be regarded as brothers who had a lifelong friendship. Of course, the brothers are honest with each other, regardless of you and me, and take a bath together, how comfortable! ”

"Brother-house-en-"

"Gotta get it, dissipate the gas, I don't wash, you can wash it alone." Xiao Yu put his coat on his shoulders and took two steps back, "That...... It's a bit difficult to get out, so let me get out? ”

If this guy is poor, the fire spewing out of Tang Ai's nose will have to set the tent on fire.

She watched Xiao Yu walk out of the tent with her hind feet, and suddenly shouted: "The surname Xiao, you, don't go far!" You're just waiting at the door, don't let anyone else in! ”

She was so anxious and blushed because she suddenly remembered that if Xiao Yu really went away, in case any of the soldiers who had no eyesight broke in, she would still be very "dangerous"!

"It's not okay to stay, it's not okay to leave, our little Tang is really difficult to serve." Xiao Yu said that although he said this, he still obediently stopped at the door of the tent.

Looking over from Tang Ai, his shadow dragged high and long on the outer wall of the tent, with wide sleeves floating and wantonly painting like water waves.

After a while, he said again: "Tang Ai, the wound on your leg should not be wet, you must be careful when washing." ”

Tang Ai let out a sullen "um" sound. She naturally understands this truth, but when she heard this sentence from Xiao Yu's mouth, she always felt weird.

It's a blessing to be able to take a hot bath.

Tang Ai stared at Xiao Yu's shadow on the tent while untying his clothes.

The injured leg was in the way, and she had to submerge three-quarters of her body in hot water, leaving the leg cocked outside the tub.

"Hey, I'll discuss something with you." Xiao Yu said outside the tent again, "The surname Xiao is surnamed Xiao, how do you listen to it, can we change the name?" ”

"What do you want me to call you?" Tang Ai asked rhetorically in the tent.

"How about calling it 521? Anyway, you're screaming too. ”

"You have a name and a surname! I'll call you by your name, Xiao Yu! ”

This bath Tang Ai took long enough, and how long she soaked in the water beware of Xiao Yu's actions.

Xiao Yu's only move was to prop up his cane again. As long as Tang Ai's bath lasted, he froze in the ice and snow.

When Tang Ai changed his clothes and called him in, he sighed and leaned back to the table, pouting the ice ballast on the hem of his clothes: "The concubine bath can be regarded as finished." ”

I don't know if it's because it's too cold outside after dark, Tang Ai found that Xiao Yu's face was not quite right.

Xiao Yu pursed his lips and walked out of the tent again: "You rest, I'm leaving." ”

"Xiao Yu, what are you going to do?"

"Find candy to eat!"

Xiao Yu left and didn't return until midnight, Tang Ai went to see Zhou Gong again while lying down. This night, she had a lot of boundless dreams, and the protagonist in the dream turned out to be Xiao Yu most of the time, but she couldn't remember anything after waking up from the dream.

She was still alone in bed in the early morning, and she couldn't tell if Xiao Yu had ever come back, let alone when he returned and when he left.

followed all day, nothing happened, Tang Ai waited until Xiao Yu appeared, and it was in the evening.

As usual, Xiao Yu brought Tang Ai a lot of food. Watching Tang Ai finish eating, he patted his ass and left, so free and easy, he didn't take a single cloud with him.

After half a month, Xiao Yu disappeared every day, but at night he swayed in front of Tang Ai on time with food, one flower a day, not the same at all. Tang Ai's mouth has not been idle these days, and the injury on his leg can be said to have recovered more than half of his speed, and even this waist is inevitably thickened.

Now, she is gradually able to hold on to the corners by herself, and move around the tent in and out of a small area.

That afternoon, there was a sudden big movement outside the tent, and as soon as Tang Ai pricked up his ears, he saw Xiao Yu sneaking over to find him in broad daylight for the first time.

"Let's go, I'll take you out in the sun." Xiao Yu didn't say anything to Tang Aiduo, took out a cane from the box on his back and stuffed it into Tang Ai's hand, pulled her and went out of the tent.

Tang Ai stumbled all the way with his cane, and was led to an open space by Xiao Yu with a smoke, and then he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

It is not an exaggeration at all, how spectacular and magnificent the scene she saw, how vast and how vast it is.

In the vast open space lay a thousand people—dead people.

Needless to say, these people were the remains of the people of the Celestial Dynasty who were transported back from Goryeo by Xu Zhan.

Their bodies had been carefully disposed of, each of them neatly dressed, and their exposed faces and hands had been wiped clean of blood.

"Well, I didn't lie to you." Xiao Yu stood in the wind, his eyes were very calm, "Those who can be found have already been found, and the very few of them who can find their relatives and relatives have also been found, and most of the rest, our General Xu Zhanxu will bury them alive." ”

Tang Ai looked at it, his nose was sour, and his eyes were suddenly moist: "Xiao Yu, thank you......"

She was so excited, so many words stuck in her throat and couldn't come out.

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "It's not interesting to thank me, let's thank Xu Zhan, our compatriots can come back, he is indispensable!" ”

He didn't stay here for long, he turned around and walked back, and after two steps, he looked back at Tang Ai and smiled: "I remember, you said you would thank me." ”

Tang Ai was stunned, and then said with a straight face: "A gentleman's words are quick and a whip, I don't know how to speak and don't count." You say, what can I do for you? ”

Xiao Yu seemed to ponder, and his expression was secretive: "For a while, I really can't think of what I can let you do." But well...... There is indeed another thing at the moment, and probably only you can settle it if you go out! But I have to say that this isn't for me. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Don't worry, this matter can't be rushed. I see that your injury is also very good, you should move your muscles and bones first, and then go back to pack up your things back to the capital, and wait for me to tell you slowly at night. ”

"Wait, back to the capital?" Tang Ai immediately thought that although the remains of the people had been transported back, the mysterious man who manipulated the zombie army with the sound of the flute had not yet been caught, and the Goryeo Kingdom had not yet given the Celestial/Dynasty an explanation, so how could this case not be finished, how could he just walk away!

Xiao Yu didn't answer, and looked into the distance with an uncertain expression.

The person who walked in that direction was Xu Zhan.

"The two adults talk slowly, I'll avoid it first." Xiao Yu said to go.

Tang Ai had stayed in Xu Zhan's territory for so long, and this was the first time he had officially met Xu Zhan.

Xu Zhan's sword eyebrows and starry eyes are strong, and his expression is cautious and meticulous, which makes people feel reliable when they see it, and Tang Ai is naturally full of good feelings for him in his heart.

The two knew each other and cared for a few words, and Tang Ai hurriedly asked Xu Zhan about the case.

After Xu Zhan concisely recounted the process of fighting the zombie army, he solemnly handed over a letter to Tang Ai: "Little Tang, the Jingshi is here for eight hundred miles to expedit, and you also have one." ”

Tang Ai couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the big red stamps of the six doors on the envelope, and hurriedly opened the letter.

The letter was written by Tang Ai's immediate boss, Lord Liu, and there were many words sprinkled with it, and it could be summed up with one meaning - the Holy Lord's edict, the border corpse trafficking case was closed here, and Tang Ai, who was sent to investigate by the six gates, returned to the capital quickly.

The emperor personally issued an order, Tang Ai naturally did not dare to disobey, and no matter how big it was, he had to let it go. She muttered all the way as she walked back, forgetting about such an important thing as going from Xu Zhan to find out Xiao Yu's details.

Xiao Yu was waiting at the door of the tent.

Tang Ai and Xu Zhan were so worried after saying goodbye for a while that they didn't care about Xiao Yu at all, so they limped into the tent.

Xiao Yu didn't seem to mind, and followed in without saying a word.

Tang Ai sat with his head bored for a long time, then turned around and began to pack his baggage. By the time it was ready, it was already dark again.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the cane in her hand, and then remembered that there was still Xiao Yu in the room: "Xiao Yu, return the cane to you." I'll go back to the capital tomorrow, say whatever you want to say quickly! ”

"The case is over, don't lose your face." Xiao Yu sat beside her and put his shoulder on her shoulder, "I also want to go back to the capital, let's go on the same road, it's better to go together." ”

"I'm asking you about the thing you said I could solve!"

"Listen to me, as we go, stop at that small town thirty miles from here, and I think you can say a few words, and that should be the case."

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that."

When Xiao Yu left Tang Ai's side, it was already late. When he got out of the tent, he walked towards Xu Zhan's general's tent, and he was familiar with the road with ease, and he didn't even take a turn.

Xu Zhan had Sichuan characters written in large letters on his forehead, and he was carefully studying the letter from Beijing by candlelight-the letter from the eight hundred miles urgent, which was given to him.

Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder: "If you don't understand, don't think about it, if you can understand what the old man is thinking, his chair should be replaced by you." ”

Xu Zhan looked away from the letter and said extremely strictly: "You asked me not to hunt down that mysterious person anymore, it is also the emperor's will?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head: "At the time, it was just what I meant, but now it seems that this is indeed what he meant." ”

"You...... Don't ask me what else is said in this letter? ”

"I don't want to be convicted by the old man of arguing about the government."

"When are you going back to Beijing?"

"Tomorrow, with Lord Xiao Tang! By the way, you can be regarded as having a good chat with Tang Ai, what do you think of Tang Ai? ”

"Lord Xiao Tang is loyal to his duties and cares about the country—"

"Who asked you this! Forget it, I know that it is useless to ask you. I'm gone, see you later! ”

Tang Ai had a very unsteady night. She has been sleeping and waking up, waking up and sleeping, so she knows very well that Xiao Yu has never come back after walking out of the tent.

After getting dressed up early in the morning, Tang Ai didn't care where Xiao Yu was, and went straight to Xu Zhan to say goodbye. Her legs are getting better day by day, and although she is still limp when she walks today, she no longer needs the strength of her cane.

Xu Zhan personally sent her to the avenue outside the camp, a carriage was parked on the side of the road, she just glanced at the car, and saw Xiao Yu poking his head out of the car.

"Get in the car!" He happily moved to the front of the car and opened up a lot of space for Tang Ai.

Tang Ai and Xiao Yu sat side by side and walked away with the two of them.

"Xiao Yu, where did you get a carriage?"

"You keep you in bed every day, I'm not idle, I have to look for good food everywhere, and I have to hurry up and prepare for the return trip, and I have to-"

"You give me less! Why hasn't the town arrived yet, did you deliberately take a detour? ”

"Isn't this the time to arrive?"

Xiao Yu parked the carriage in front of the small broken inn in the town.

"Huh? This shop ...... Ahem, ahem. Tang Ai choked on his own spit.

Wasn't she here a few days ago!

Xiao Yu pushed her elbow against her: "Come in." ”

The son of the innkeeper came to greet the guest.

"Mom......" Seeing Tang Ai's face, he fainted directly under Tang Ai's eyes.

When the head of the family and his mother-in-law heard the sound, they first saw their son, and then they saw Tang Ai.

The head of the house.

His mother-in-law also urinated.

Someone else showed up next.

When this person saw Tang Ai, his reaction was not the same as that of the family of three, but he was not smaller than that person at all.

The person who came was the lord of Jeong-hee.

"Oba!" The county lord rushed forward, hugged Tang Ai for a moment when Tang Ai was defenseless, and hugged him deeply.
