29. Return to camp
85_85279 I reached out and grabbed the quilt from the couch, spread it on the ground, and lay down. Zhu Di sat up calmly, "You really can't come up?" ”
"What's the point of being alone in the same room?"
"It's not the first time."
"That's not going to work either. You told people that we were husband and wife, and now we live in the same room, what do others think of me? My innocence is ruined. I said aggrievedly.
Zhu Di glanced at me twice, and couldn't help but smile, "Then we have been walking in the desert together for so long, not to mention husband and wife, wouldn't others have to squint at you?" ”
I thought about what Zhu Di said seemed to make sense, but I still said forcefully, "Can't you say it's brother and sister?" Brothers and sisters can too! ”
Zhu Di ignored me anymore, just rolled up my quilt from under me, covered himself and lay down again. It was useless for me to sit on the ground and blow my beard and stare at it, "Then what am I covering?" ”
"You've got it when you come up." Zhu Di didn't look at me and said.
I decided to fight him to the end, and I just wouldn't go up while sitting on the edge of the bed. I thought that Zhu Di would continue to persuade me to go up, but I didn't expect him to close his eyes and fall asleep, leaving me sitting on the ground stupidly and curling up. After a while, there was no movement in the yurt, I slowly got up, bent down on the side of the bed to see if Zhu Di was really asleep, but I didn't expect him to breathe smoothly and look peaceful, as if he was really asleep. I sighed and tried to pull the corners of the quilt up for him, but he reached out and pulled me to the bed. His strength was so great that I instinctively rolled over and jumped onto the bed. Now it's a scene where he's still lying on the outside with his eyes closed, and I'm crouching inside like a monkey, still not understanding what's going on.
Zhu Di finally opened his eyes slowly, and was slightly stunned when he saw my appearance, as if he couldn't hold back a smile, and said with a serious face, "Good skills." However, good skills are not necessarily resistant to the cold, you can try to sleep on the ground overnight and whether you will have a cold tomorrow. There are also girls in my house who have to keep vigil, and they often stay by the master's bed all night, and it seems that there is no big problem in wearing more. ”
Listening to Zhu Di's tone, it's just up to me, if I am willing to stand under the bed all night, it doesn't matter. I didn't want to, so I sat down on the bed, pulled out my boots and threw them on the ground, grabbed a quilt and covered myself with my back and lay down.
In a trance, I seemed to hear Zhu Di's low laughter behind me, and I moved even more in, for fear of bumping into him. After walking for several days, I almost didn't drink blood to get here, and with a soft bed to sleep on, I fell asleep in a while. As the night was cold, I rolled over and pulled the quilt, gradually moving in a warm direction...... When I woke up the next day, I was with Zhu Di again. I got up angrily, and Zhu Di got up immediately, but he seemed to be nothing.
The old man entertained us for our last breakfast, and told us that we had to go around the Grand Canyon when we went back from here, so it would be much farther away, and it was about three days on horseback riding, and he used two cloth bags to fill me and Zhu Di with enough naan and water, and even gave us two extra jugs of barley wine. As for who gave us the horses, the rest of the men almost fought over it, and at last it was decided that the old man's eldest son would pick out the best horse in the house for us.
Zhu Di and I thanked them again and again, said goodbye to them, and set out on the way home.
In the past few days, I have not asked Zhu Di if he is worried about the camp, because I am afraid that there will be no time to return, and asking him will only increase his troubles, and now that I have determined that we will be able to go back in less than three days, I am also relieved and boldly asked, "Lord Wang, we have been out for four days, will there be chaos in the camp?" ”
Zhu Di glanced at me disdainfully, "I have worked hard to run the Shenji Camp for more than ten years, how can it be as unbearable as you imagined?" The division of labor among the members at all levels in the battalion is clear, I am only their top-level leader, give them orders during the battle, and the rest of them can take care of themselves, and there are still three guarantees in the battalion, where is the chaos? ”
I stuck out my tongue, it seems that Zhu Di has great trust in his army, and he is also infinitely proud. Listening to his words, I was actually much more relieved.
It would take us three days to go back, and by the time we got back, it had been seven days. Then there will only be three days of grain and grass left in the ten days sent by Dai Qin. In those three days, Zhu Di had to solve the source of grain and grass in the future. Thinking of this, I have another headache. secretly glanced at Zhu Di twice, but he was still expressionless. I have known him for so long, and he is generally very stable, and it is rare to see any expression on his face, that is, he often has a smile when we are in this barren desert these days. I was vaguely worried, will he return to his old self after I go back, and he will no longer smile?
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Di saw me in a daze, so he asked.
"Lord Wang, why do you rarely smile?" I couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Di paused for a moment and replied, "In the government and the opposition, don't be too happy about everything, so it's easy to be caught." Well, besides, my father doesn't like frivolous people. ”
"Because of this, you have to hold back when you see something funny?"
Zhu Di was so crying and laughing at my question that he looked at my eager eyes for answers, and had to reply, "There are few things that make me feel funny." Hmm~~ Sometimes I think you're funny, and it's hard to endure. ”
I finally shut up after he was so generalized. When the horses were carrying their masters home, the mistress of the house could hear her husband coming from a distance, and she took the children to the door to wait for him. Our horse also had a string of bells around its neck, which sounded all the way, and at first Zhu Di thought it was annoying, and was about to pick it up, but I stopped it. Now it's the two of us, a horse, a string of bells, and walking towards the gate.
Before leaving, the old man drew us a simple diagram, and we followed his route, so the journey was smooth, but after two days, we sometimes encountered caravans. On the afternoon of the third day, I began to feel familiar with the terrain, and I jerked my head up, but I could already see the camp in the distance.
I excitedly pointed to the camp and shouted, "Lord Wang, the camp has arrived!" Right ahead! ”
Zhu Di lowered his eyes, looking a little sullen. I was also lost, and I don't know why he was suddenly depressed. It didn't take long for us to meet Sanho, who was wandering around the camp. When he saw us, he excitedly rolled over from the horse, and after saluting Zhu Di, he asked anxiously, "Lord Wang, where have you been for so many days?" ”
Seeing Zhu Di's ragged clothes, I was also discouraged, and he was a little discolored, "This is ......"
"Let's talk about it when we go back to camp." Zhu Di really regained his cold appearance, and Sanbao got back on his horse and led us in front. returned to the inside of the camp, Zhu Di changed his clothes, and became the king of Yan who was strategizing from above. I, on the other hand, went back to the tent where I was staying with Bao'er. Sanbao probably expected that Zhu Di would not talk to him too much, so he came to ask me what had happened in the past few days. I told him everything that happened after we met the wolves, and he was full of cold sweat when he heard it, especially when he jumped off the cliff on a horse, and when I said that when Zhu Di fell into the cliff with the horse, Sanbao grabbed my hand nervously. After I finished speaking, Sanbao exhaled a long breath, "It's too thrilling, it's too thrilling." ”
I looked at Sanbao for a while and asked, "What has happened in the barracks these days?" ”
"No, you didn't come back the next day after you left, and I sensed that something was wrong, and sent several teams out to look for it, but who would have thought that you had reached the side of the cliff? Nuo Min was heavily guarded by my troops, and the prince once told me that she was the key to this victory or defeat. As for Dai Qin, the news from the front is that he has been two hundred miles away from us all along, and has not gone any further. Sanbao said briefly, but his brows were always wrinkled.
I know what he's worried about, "Are you also worried about where the food and grass will come from in three days?" ”
Sanbao sighed, "It's really not good, I can go back to Beiping for help." ”
I waved my hand, "The prince has his own plans, let's all listen to him." ”
Sanbao said helplessly, "You're right, waiting for you to come back in the past few days, waiting for me to be discouraged, and one day later, I'm afraid that I will really send someone back for help." ”
Looking at his sad Sanbao, I suddenly understood why Zhu Di's feelings were low when he saw the camp. In the desert, we only think about how to survive, with Zhu Di's skills, even in the face of wolves and cliffs, he is firm and calm, because he knows that he will be able to solve the difficulty. But now he is not worried about his own business, but the matter of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire military camp, if this battle is lost, Zhu Yuanzhang's blame will be indispensable, and the white eyes in the government and the opposition are also indispensable, the most important thing is that Dai Qin will take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover Beiping, if Beiping is taken, then the Ming Dynasty will be threatened by Yan zhòng!
So Zhu Di will frown. After coming back, the feeling of closeness between me and him a few days ago disappeared all at once, and he became the untouchable Yan Wang Ye again. No, even further than before. I used to dare to ask him about the situation, but now I have become more reserved.
I don't understand why there is such a change, maybe this qiē has been in Zhu Di's calculations, so the closer he gets to the barracks, the worse his love is.
A few days after we came back, it was as if we had made an agreement, and I never went to him, and he never called me. Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and there is only one day's amount of grain and grass. In these last moments, Dai Qin rushed to our side with 50,000 men.
The striker who reported the news almost rolled off his horse, and almost trembled and reported the matter to Zhu Di. Zhu Di punished him to clean the stables for three months - those who have no courage will not enter the camp of the gods
