In September, in the south of the Yangtze River, there is light smoke and drizzle, and there is no bright glow.

In the evening, in front of the window of the jade hall, the fragrance is thick, the flowers are splendid, covering half of the Qiongyan, the red robe is faintly seen, and the carpet is like gold.

The main hall is bright and wide, a dragon case is placed on the carpet, and the letter is like snow on the blue paste candle case.

Secret music, military newspapers, snow paper ink, dense, the only coarse yellow paper lying on it, the words are sparse and concise, only five words - I am fine, don't read it.

The evening breeze blew the flower branches, the smoke and rain fell on the window lattice, the magnolia lightly shattered the window sill a pool of rain, someone gently picked it up, the rain wet the fingertips, slightly cool.

Very good?

Is it good to practice on the march, is it good to recommend yourself as bait, or is it better to sit alone on the grassland for five days and nights, rain that night, and get caught in the middle of the night with a heavy wind and cold? Or, is it good to stay alone in Shangyu Village, fight hard for a day and night, kill 800 enemies, be wounded twice, and cut flesh to heal the wounds?

After the flowers, the man lowered his eyes, his jade face was covered with snow, his thin lips were pursed, he smiled coldly, and pinched the magnolia with his fingertips, as if pinching someone's neck.

Don't read it!

This woman with no conscience!

After reading it for two months, he knew that she would not have such a daughter's love when he read it for thousands of miles.

Put the magnolia in her hand, send out the windowsill with the wind and rain, walk to the front of the case, look at the simple words on the letter, the handwriting is clear, the pen is firm and powerful, when writing this letter, her body should be fine, but the word is close to the phoenix dancing dragon flying, slightly sloppy, she was in a hurry? Or maybe you are so embarrassed that you give up in a hurry?

He picked up the letter, but his eyes fell on it, and those snowflakes were densely written all over her way.

The military camp is full of children, if there is a person who is more delicate than the children, and the ambition is higher than the children, it must be her, who is stubborn and proud, and will never be worn by the world. Since she left, he knew that one day she would be able to put on that armor, play a triumphant war song, return to the court with a sword, and avenge her father. But he didn't expect her to be so fast, so fast......

Self-recommended chasing the murderer, grassland confrontation, and hard fighting in the village, it is really her style!

Her ears seemed to echo in the mountains that night, her sentence "not afraid of thousands of difficulties and dangers", she was not afraid, she was simply desperate! Does she remember what he said to her that night?

Bu Xihuan laughed at herself, presumably she didn't remember, if she remembered, why not risk her life, why ...... Tell him not to read it?

His eyes hurriedly swept over the two words, and he walked back to the window with his hands in his hands, the sky was like haze, the smoke and rain were like silk, and the red walls and green tiles were washed. The color of the south of the Yangtze River, year after year, I can't see the depth of this palace every year, and I can't smell the northwest yellow wind.

For eighteen years, there is finally one person who can read it, but he is told not to read it!

Taking a deep breath, I wanted to smell the smoke and rain and suppress the tightness in my chest, but I smelled the full fragrance of orchid incense and candle ointment, when was the fragrance so strong in this hall? Bu Xihuan frowned, glanced at the incense burner, the incense silk in the furnace curled, entangled, disturbing people's worries.

The man's red sleeves suddenly flicked!

Syllable!

The palace people standing under the verandah of the hall all bowed their heads and bowed lower.

Fan Tong persistently brushed the dust, drooped his eyelids, and stood motionless outside the temple gate, as if he was dead.

It wasn't until he heard the people in the temple: "Come here", that the dead moved, pushed the door into the hall, and saw the incense burner in the hall falling to the ground, the incense ash sprinkled on the carpet, and the unburned incense burned out a hole in the golden velvet embroidery, dyeing and weaving carpet.

Fan Tong drooped his eyelids and withdrew from the hall, came to the corridor, shook off the dust, and immediately several palace mermaids entered, seeing the scene in the hall, everyone walked very lightly, picked up the incense burner, removed the carpet, and cleaned the incense ash sprinkled on the floor tiles, neatly and orderly, did not dare to slacken, did not dare to confuse, and did not dare to make a sound.

A Gong E, who was kneeling on the ground and wiping incense ash, was particularly low, trying her best not to make Gong Sleeve leave a sound on the floor, but she couldn't help but tremble slightly on her shoulders.

Fan Tong glanced at her, and said expressionlessly: "Cai'e, the palace maid who serves incense today, drag it out and kill it with a cane!" ”

That Gong'e's body shook suddenly, the rag in her hand fell to the ground, she raised her eyes in horror, and the two eunuchs next to her stepped forward and dragged her out of the hall.

Cai'e's face was dead, but she didn't open her mouth to beg for mercy, just looking at the back of the man who stood with his hands in his hands, and there was a trace of struggle in his eyes.

She didn't wait in the Qianfang Palace, she moved with Zhou Meiren, and after Zhou Meiren disappeared, His Majesty unexpectedly did not kill them with a rod, nor did he withdraw them from the Qianfang Palace, but stayed. The rest of the people were not allowed to enter the Qianfang Palace, and they were only responsible for sprinkling and sweeping the West Side Palace, and she was the only one who could wait in the palace. The palace people in the west side hall congratulated her, because of this Bianhe Palace, there were never women waiting for her majesty, and over the years, she was the only palace maid who called her majesty to break this example.

She didn't dare to rejoice, because she knew in her heart that Her Majesty broke this case not because of her, but because of Zhou Meiren. His Majesty thought of Zhou Meiren in his heart, otherwise he would not have asked people to keep the original decoration of the West Side Palace, and not a single flower or bottle in the hall could not be changed, just sprinkled and swept every day. His Majesty left her in the Qianfang Hall to wait, Xu is Aiwu and Wu. The princes in this palace often take pleasure in abusing the palace maids, she has served Zhou Meiren, Zhou Meiren is favored by His Majesty, and the princes in the palace are not angry, if they let her go out and serve other sons, they are afraid that they will die in a few days.

His Majesty left her behind, and she had the grace to live, and she had served in the temple for the past two months. Because she remembered that Zhou Meiren didn't like incense, she was in the main hall for a few days, and her majesty ordered the hall to withdraw the incense, and after Zhou Meiren disappeared, the chief manager ordered the palace people to relight it, she was worried that Her Majesty would not smell the incense for a few days, and the incense would smell uncomfortable, so she picked the incense that smelled quite faint and lit it.

For two months in a row, day by day, His Majesty has never said that it is bad, and today is the same as in the past, for some reason, it has made His Majesty unhappy.

She guessed that His Majesty was in a bad mood, even so, if she wanted to live, she couldn't beg for mercy, and if she cried and cried and disturbed the Sacred Heart, she would really block her way of life.

Cai'e was dragged out of the inner hall by the eunuch, only struggling in her eyes, and she gambled ruthlessly!

Bet that the man in the temple will love the house and Wu and spare her life.

Xu was heard by the heavens, and when she was dragged to the door of the outer hall, she heard a cool voice in the hall, "That's it." ”

The voice was slightly cool, like a sigh, "In the future, there is no need to burn incense in the temple." ”

The two eunuchs let go of the person as soon as the voice started, and Cai'e crouched beside the threshold outside the hall, deeply grateful, and the evening breeze fell on her back with a drizzle, only to feel cold. This cool starts from the heart, I am afraid, and I am happy. Glad that he was not dizzy under the praise of the palace people in the west side hall, he mistakenly thought that His Majesty was interested in him, and he was glad that he had been guarding his duty for the past two months, and he didn't dare to have the slightest thought, otherwise...... She won't live to this day.

Behind him, several eunuchs entered the hall with a new blanket, Cai'e quickly got up and went in, picked up the rag left on the ground, wiped the floor again, and the palace people laid out the carpet and took away the incense burner, and then they all exited the hall and closed the palace door.

In the hall, Fan Tong stood with his head down, and his tone was flat without fluctuations, "Your Majesty is benevolent." ”

"Come on! Less fun about me, more and more eyes! Bu Xihuan turned around and snorted, "You are the head of the Inner Court Division, and you still need to play a prestige in front of me?" ”

Deal with it in front of him, don't you just want him to pardon that girl?

Fan Tong pulled his old face, his face expressionless, "Cai'e is not careful, she should be killed, it is Your Majesty who is benevolent." ”

Bu Xi laughed and snorted, and walked back to the window, "That girl has served her, even if it is only for a few days, she will not forget." When she came back one day, she knew that the person was dead, and she must blame me for disregarding people's lives and being unworthy of Mingjun. ”

Fan Tong hugged the dust and stood with his head down, "Your Majesty is angry with the girl, and you still care about the girl, this anger is still not good." ”

Bu Xihuan suddenly laughed angrily, turned around and glanced at Fan Tong lazily, "Yes!" I'm angry with myself, and I have to think about her when I look back, I'm a worrying life, and I owe her in my last life. ”

Fan Tong was silent, and his old face, which had not changed for thousands of years, seemed to be full of "it is true" at this moment.

Bu Xihuan walked to the dragon case, picked up the concise letter, and picked up the secret report of the march to take a closer look.

In the northwest border pass, the Hu people are good at horse warfare, and the infantry is too easy to be killed and injured in the military formation. The border pass is not as good as on the march, and then ask her to go down so desperately, he is really afraid that she will lose her life one day, and he also hopes that she will return to the court as soon as possible, and settle the "don't read" account with her!

She has worked so hard all the way, she can't be called to fight in vain.

Bu Xihuan raised his eyes, and there was a sudden light at the bottom of his eyes, "Intention!" ”

Jialan Pass, the northwest pass of Daxing, Guancheng is located in the middle of the narrowest valley of the pass, standing on the highest Jialan Mountain, the city wall of the two wings of the city pass crosses the Tamar Desert, with its terrain is dangerous, majestic and magnificent is called the first pass in the world.

A few years ago, the Wuhu coalition army knocked on the pass, most of the half year of the war, 50,000 soldiers were martyred, the day the new army arrived in Guancheng, 250,000 troops in the pass greeted together, on that day, the new army, the old army remembered a name.

That young man, marched thousands of miles, exposed the murder case in Qingzhou Mountain, broke the grassland organ formation, guarded the people of Shangyu Village, and performed feats all the way, on the day when the new army arrived in Guancheng, the general rewarded him for his merits and deeds, and personally promoted him to the rank of military marquis!

There is no water army in the northwest, only cavalry, infantry army, and chariot army, and the chariot army is difficult to travel in the desert, and most of them are used for grassland battles. The Northwest Army has a small number of chariot corps, mostly cavalry and infantry. The military ranks are from the bottom up, Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Mo Chang, Tun Chang, Du Lieutenant, Jun Hou, Zhonglang General, Partial General, Front and Rear Left and Right Four Generals, Wei General, Hussar General, Che Cavalry General, and General.

A military marquis is below the rank of general, the highest position at the grassroots level in the army, and can lead an army of 12,500 people.

If you want to kill a few Hu people with bravery, at most you will be promoted to a captain, even a chief, and it is not easy to be promoted to a commander, let alone a lieutenant who can lead thousands of people.

Those who lead ten thousand armies, in addition to killing the enemy bravely, must also have generals. I heard that this young man had won more with less in the mountains of Qingzhou, and led a strong army led by a group of soldiers after winning the general, but it was a drill of thirty or fifty people after all, far from killing the enemy on the battlefield, some people think that the general values this kid too much, but some people think that when it comes to killing the enemy, Shangyu Village killed 800 enemies in a battle, and injured 200 enemies is ironclad evidence, but some people think that in the battle of Shangyu Village, there is General Lu, who killed more horse bandits, and it is obvious who killed more horse bandits, not the courage of this young man.

These voices are all from the veterans of the Northwest Army, but the new army that has seen the ability of twilight and the 3,000 elite troops who marched with the new army all the way will never forget the five days and five nights on the grassland, and the army is divided into two factions, one is skeptical and the other is resolute support.

But no matter which voice it is, the young man has become a hot figure in the discussion in the army, and everyone knows that he has become the fastest promoted recruit in the history of the Northwest Army, and his speed is comparable to that of the general Yuan Xiu of the year.

It's just that this young man doesn't have a proud family background, and even his name makes people cry and laugh when they hear it - Tuesday egg!

Someone joked behind his back that if this kid became a general in the future, this name would probably make the group of civil officials in the court tremble.

The talk in the army didn't affect Twilight, and she was promoted to military marquis, so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground.

In Guancheng, the army lived in barracks, and the marquis had his own barracks and personal soldiers.

Twilight moves to a separate courtyard in the inner city, flanked by a pro-military barracks to take care of her daily life. In her house, there are warm kang and tables, which are much better than the conditions for five people to live in a camp tent and straw mats during the march.

When she was marching, she just wanted to make military merits and be promoted to lieutenant as soon as possible, so that she could have her own camp, but she never thought that Yuan Xiu would value her so much, and he would promote her to a military marquis in one fell swoop.

Whether it is a military marquis or a captain, in the future, she will have her own house in the city and her own camp outside the city, so it will be much more convenient to act than before, and she will not have to work as hard as on the march to hide her identity.

On the march, she rarely bathed, and she didn't even dare to change her chest strap often, for fear of being seen, or returning to the camp late, which would arouse suspicion. She usually loves to be clean, these two months are really difficult, the only thing that makes her happy is that the letter period has not arrived, perhaps because of the intensity of this exercise, day and night work and rest disorder. Now that I have this house, it is much more convenient.

It was late in the evening when Twilight moved to the barracks, and a colonel brought her military quartermasters—four sets of military robes, four pairs of military boots, and a command flag.

There are five schools in the army, and the lieutenant belongs to the noble military position, partial to the text, and is responsible for military supplies on weekdays. The little colonel who sent the clothes was the person next to Lu Da, and he went to Bianhe City to recruit the army, and he was also the person who sent Twilight Qing to the new military camp that day, and that day the man also said that she should be promoted as soon as possible, and everyone would talk well in the future, and after two months, Twilight Qing's military rank was higher than his.

When he sent the quartermaster, he smiled a little embarrassed, and his attitude was much more respectful, "Zhou Junhou, these four robes are autumn clothes, the northwest is early in winter, it should snow in November, and the army will send winter clothes in mid-October, so your four new clothes will be worn for a month, and there will be new clothes in the spring of next year." ”

Twilight took it and thanked her.

The little colonel was even more embarrassed, and said with a smile: "You have just been promoted to the military, and you don't have a pro-soldier by your side, so if you pick a pro-soldier in the future, I won't bother you with these trivial matters of getting new clothes, and I will go directly to your pro-soldier commander." ”

The higher the rank in the army, the greater the number of pro-soldiers. Yuan Xiu's personal soldiers had 2,000 people, and the military marquis's personal soldiers were only ten.

The importance of the pro-soldier lies in taking care of the general's diet and daily life on weekdays, and as the general's escort in wartime, he must be a confidant.

Twilight Qing wants to be a pro-soldier, naturally to a trustworthy person, she has just been promoted to the army, and has not yet ordered pro-soldiers, although this matter is not urgent, but if there is a confidant, she bathes and changes clothes in the room, and there is always a guard to watch the wind.

After the little school left, Twilight closed the door and changed her robe, and went out—

Off topic –

Majesty xià came out, I was too excited, a little stuck.

There is an eighteen years in this chapter, which refers to the number of years His Majesty ascended the throne, not the age.
