Mu Qing had to sit down again, so that Ah Liu went to change a cup of tea, and asked her to sit down again with a smile, "Ah Liu brought some sparrow tongues from Yuhang when he came, which was excellent, but the taste of boiling and brewing here was unsatisfactory, not that Qi Niang deliberately did not give good tea to eat, the water in Jinyang City was astringent, and it was the elegance of the blind finch tongue, and the aggrieved lady would just eat a few bites." ”

The eldest grandson pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the teacup, and the two of them gossiped for a while, until Li Shimin came out of the main room with a stern face.

The two of them hurriedly got up, one saluted and the other bowed his head and stepped forward. Mu Qingli was in the courtyard, and watched from behind as the two of them went out from the gate without saying a word, only to feel that the glass bottle on the waist of the eldest grandson was particularly eye-catching, revealing a strange and cold light, which pierced people's hearts.

was stunned, Du Ruhui's palm fell on her shoulder, and for some reason she shrugged her shoulders.

"What do you see? How did you get surprised? He asked, stroking her arm, following her gaze towards the eldest grandson.

She turned her head slightly, her eyes still on the waist of the eldest grandson, "Can you see the glass bottle hanging from the waist of the eldest grandson?" The pills there, I look at it, it looks like cinnabar Chendan. ”

"Cinnabar Chendan? What is that? ”

Mu Qing raised his head and frowned at him and said, "The pill made of cinnabar, thunder wilfordii, and arsenic stone in one place is a poison that pierces the intestines and punishes the heart." She only said that she had prepared it for herself, and I was so uncomfortable when I heard it......"

Du Ruhui held her shoulder, turned her body and led her into the house, "Don't look at it." Whatever she does, Yinghua doesn't make trouble in front of her, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Just ......"

"It's just that, your mind is too detailed, and you have to weigh what you see and hear. Don't you remember Doctor Zhao's explanation, the daily decoction is based on this temperament. Du Ruhui scolded her softly and didn't teach her to worry more.

Du Qi held a heavy object in his hand and walked up the stone steps of the main house from the courtyard, "Ah Lang, look, this armor needs to be wiped again?" ”

Mu Qing turned around, but when he saw the thin scale armor in front of him, his heart couldn't help jumping, "Are you going to fight again?" ”

Du Ruhui stepped forward to look at the fine scale armor, and said in a muffled voice: "Li Gong led the army to meet Zhen Zhai'er, the soldiers in Jinyang City can only allocate 5,000, and when they are in battle, they know that Zhen Zhai'er has gathered more than 20,000 people, how can there be any reason to suppress it." At present, Li Gong is trapped in the Bird Mouse Valley, and at most he will fight for two more days. Therefore, Erlang was asked to go to the rescue and relieve the difficulty, set off tonight, and raided the Sparrow Mouse Valley before dawn. ”

Mu Qing also stepped forward, took the fine scale armor in Du Qi's hand, and rubbed it lightly a few times, "You can go, I will take care of this wiping." ”

Because it was decided that the silk was being pulled out, there were still two hours, Mu Qing took the cloth, carefully wiped the scale armor for him, and he sat silently on the side leaning on the brocade seat, holding the letter sent by He Suizhao for a long time, and then turned to her quiet and focused side face with a smile. After a while, she seemed to be aware, and her lowered eyes wandered, but she became a little shy. After five or six years together, he is still shy and astringent.

"Is Erlang still leading the Xuanjia Army?" It took a while for her to pinch a topic and draw his gaze. "I don't see those Xuanjia Lang exercises, even if I don't even see a trace."

Du Ruhui supported his legs and knees and stretched his muscles and bones a few times, "There are many dead soldiers recruited by He Suizhao in Xuanjia Erlang, who have been selected and trained in Honghua County that day, and most of them have no relatives and no reason, no worries, and they are brave and invincible. When there is no war, they are scattered among the ordinary people in Jinyang City, each practicing and fighting together, just one order, the Xuanjia is covered and quickly assembled from everywhere. And it is only limited to 500, and the war dead will be substituted. ”

"Why is it only limited to five hundred?"

"Can't you even remember my imperial decree?" Du Ruhui stood up and paced back and forth in the room, "If you use more than 1,000 soldiers, you must report to the court first, and you can only move if you have the right time." There are also county magistrates who are closely watching, so 500 people are the most suitable. ”

Mu Qing took the neatly folded robe and put it aside, and reached out to untie the belt of his regular clothes for him, there were several whip wounds crawling on his bare back, she stroked these scars lightly, and sighed, "This loyal and fierce five hundred Xuanjia Lang was exchanged for twenty military whips by you and Erlang, Erlang is worth it after all, is it worth it to you?" ”

The sky is getting dark, and Ada, outside, has lit the stone lamps that illuminate the road in the courtyard, Ah Liu leads Ah Yue to the lamps in the room, Ah Xing helps the kitchen to cook, and the courtyard is filled with the sound of crisp laughter.

"Ayan Jiaohan is very funny, but I don't know when I will be able to give birth to an heir for you." Mu Qing threw herself into his arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, she sighed softly, her heart was faintly swollen, and the scene in the courtyard seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Du Ruhui tightened his arms, "You know that I don't intend to do this, but please be safe and happy." ”

Outside, Du Qi shouted, "Ah Lang, Ah Lang." It's almost hour. ”

Mu Qing hurriedly pushed him away, shook off his missing robe, and waited for him to wear it. The scar on his shoulder was slightly raised, crooked and terrifying, she stared at it for a while, and sighed while covering him up, "I told you that it was also in vain, the old wound has not healed thoroughly, you must be careful, don't add anything, can you remember?" ”

Du Ruhan smiled and said nothing, only looking at her chattering expression, and felt very relieved. As soon as he was dressed neatly, Mu Qing checked again that the fine scale armor could be tied properly, and the long knife that he carried with him could be fastened tightly, because he wanted to ride a horse and eat, he didn't dare to eat more, so he only chewed a few bites hastily, and then sent him out to the assembly place outside the city.

Although he has fought several times with Li Shimin, this time he is reckless and reckless, and he is not afraid, Mu Qing still inevitably repeats himself in his heart, and he has never eaten well at dinner, and he can't sleep at night, and he can't help but think about the situation in the Bird Mouse Valley, and he thinks about what kind of formation they will set up to break the enemy, if the flank breaks through and is sandwiched in the mountain road, it will cut off the way of retreat, and if he meets the enemy head-on, the disparity in strength will be great after all, and it will be difficult to win.

I was drowsy and confused all night, until noon the next day, when there was a commotion outside the courtyard, and everyone rushed to tell each other and muttered noisily. Mu Qing stepped into the courtyard in a few steps and sent Du Qi outside to listen to the news.

Within a moment, Du Qi jumped back to the courtyard, "Tang Guogong has returned with his army." ”

Mu Qing didn't care about leaving a word, and ran straight to the gate, and Du Qi hurriedly chased out and followed her. Turning around three times and turning through the small road, the avenue in the city was really crowded with people, there were people who watched the excitement, some were driven to both sides by the soldiers who explored the road and cleared the road, and there were even more family members who were looking forward to it.

Tang Guogong sat majestically on the horse, followed by Wang Wei, the general of the Tiger Benlang with an unhappy face, and then followed by the Li family Erlang, the two behind Erlang, who were immediately leaning over and talking, the person on the left, Mu Qing, had not seen him for many years, but he also recognized that it was the elder brother of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson Wuji, I don't know when he also arrived in Jinyang. The five hundred Xuanjia Army was indeed missing again, without a trace.

She turned her eyes to the person who was talking to the eldest grandson Wuji, and with just one glance, her eyebrows were relieved. Seeing Du Ruhui straddle the horse completely and safely, she was determined, and turned around to summon Du Qi, "Let's go, let's go back first." ”

Du Qi muttered to himself, ran out in a hurry, and looked at it from a distance, but he didn't see it, and he couldn't tell whether he was thinking or not, but he didn't understand, so he just shook his head, and hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly followed her back to the house.

As soon as Mu Qing entered the door, she ran straight to the back kitchen, opened the basket where she placed the medicine bag every day, turned out a bag of dried mugwort leaves, and came out to call Ah Liu to sprinkle the mugwort leaves in the water to boil, and prepare the water for bathing.

"What are you going to do with this?" Ah Liu pinched a handful of dried mugwort leaves and sniffed them under his nose.

"I just came down from the place full of blood and mud, and the anger was heavy, and I added some mugwort leaves to get rid of filth." Mu Qing said in his mouth, and there was still a sentence in his heart that was good to disperse blood, but he didn't say it.

Everything was ready, and after waiting for a long time, Du Ruhui did not come back. Until the twilight, someone came to knock on the door and spread the post of the eldest grandson, asking Mu Qing to go to the army to drink celebration wine.

Mu Qing took the post, sent the messenger, groaned slightly, went back to the house and simply took a sip of his sideburns, changed into a lake-green robe, stepped on the black leather narrow boots, went to the golden hairpin between the buns, and only took a few silver hairpin nails to fix a low and regular single screw bun.

Ah Yue saw her go to change her clothes, and went in to comb her hair for accessories, but saw that she had changed into such a neat and simple body. "Doesn't the lady change into a bright dress? Since it is the eldest grandson's wife, this ...... I'm afraid I'm going to be rude. ”

"Didn't you hear that you were invited to drink in the army?" Mu Qing smiled and shook his robe back and forth, "If you go to the army, you need to dress like this." I thought that she wanted to go to the army and show her virtue and righteousness, but she was also timid, afraid that people would say that she was arrogant, so she sent someone to invite me to go with her. If I dress up and put on makeup, it is difficult to say that I can't escape the words of people who are frivolous, and if she intends to use me as a knife, why should I make amends to others in vain. ”

Ah Yue immediately smiled, "Exactly." The lady is only dressed up as a man, and most of the generals in the army knew that the lady was comparable to a man, and he was invited to give the eldest grandson Mrs. face, but also did not let people have a handle to hold it, and taught Ah Lang to be embarrassed, which is exactly what reason. ”

Mu Qing was stunned, if he said this to Ah Liu or Ah Xing, Ah Xing would be younger, and Ah Liu would not be dull, but I am afraid that he will not wake up at a moment, Ah Yue will be able to penetrate it at all. In the early years, Mu Qing felt that she was dexterous and intelligent, accustomed to distinguishing appearances and colors, and always weighing others when she spoke, not as straight as Ah Liu. Originally, when she was born in Qiyuefang, it was reasonable to cultivate such a situation, but in the past two years, she has grown more and more, and her talent has become erect.

After getting dressed, Mu Qing walked out of the inner room, and saw Fu Yanyan stumbling on the stone bench in the courtyard, so he couldn't help but squat down and tease him, teasing him to call "aunt" twice, and calling Ada to prepare two horses on the wall and go with her.

At this time, the eldest grandson was also in the carriage to the barracks, but he hesitated for a long time for a hairpin. When she went out of the house, she had reduced a lot of hair accessories, and also changed out of the luxurious skirt, because she was going to see Erlang, it was difficult to give up her appearance, so she still applied a thin powder, put on a light swallow branch, and carefully matched the skirt and silk.

A golden hairpin with a peony with pearls hanging and shaking is gorgeous and dazzling. It was given by Li Shimin on the day of her age and Xu, although he only handed it over at will, but taught her heart to beat like a deer, this is the first time he gave her an object, not to say that it is a precious thing, even if it is a wooden hairpin, she will also regard it as a treasure, and never leave her body.

She knew that it was too eye-catching, so she spontaneously pulled off the golden hairpin between her buns, wandered for a while, and then reinserted it back into the bun. After repeating the detour, seeing that he was about to arrive at the barracks, the golden hairpin was still holding it in his hand, and his ruthless heart was finally inserted in his hair.
