The vegetable leaves piled high in front of him were not as good as the ones they usually ate in the house, and they were more or less rotten. Although the moon is in the sky, it is no clearer than in the daytime, Mu Qing's eyes widened, and he concentrated on choosing among a pile of dishes.

After a long time, she felt that her eyes were sore, and her neck was sour. She raised her head from the pile of vegetables, rubbed her swollen eyes with the back of her hand, and slowly turned her sore neck a few times, loosening her shoulders and neck muscles.

Turning her head, she took a look around, the camp was in the westernmost part of the camp, and she could vaguely see a dense circle of horses wrapped around the camp with thistles, and from time to time there were a team of ten soldiers walking back and forth alternately to patrol. Outside the camp was a small forest, and the night was quiet, and the cool breeze blew, and all you could hear was the cooing of night birds and the swaying of leaves.

In front of the battalion is the camp tent of the Xuanjia Army, and compared to other camp tents, the outside of the tent of the Xuanjia Army is extremely quiet. At this time, the soldiers had finished their day's drills, had eaten dinner, and there was still an hour before they entered the tent and extinguished the candles. The soldiers of the other battalion like to gather outside the tent to scrub and talk and laugh, and frolic with each other, the military discipline of the Xuanjia Lang is very strict, and the habit of being vigorous and resolute for many years has long been cultivated, so even if there is free time at night, they rarely wander outside, and most of them rest in the tent.

Mu Qing turned his neck a few times, grabbed a handful of vegetable leaves, and was about to continue choosing, but somehow, suddenly there was a low sound of conversation, which drifted along the cool breeze and reached her ears. She poked her head out from behind the vegetable pile, and four soldiers came out of the camp tent in front of the right, and saw that it should be Xuanjialang, probably because he was stuffy in the tent, and he was greedy to breathe outside the tent.

She had no intention of listening to them, and retracted her head disapprovingly in front of the vegetables that were piled up high, and kept on her work. The four Xuanjia Lang muttered for a while, and as the words "Mr. Du" drifted into her ears with the wind, Mu Qing couldn't help but stop his wrist and listened attentively.

"How long are we going to stay here? I heard that Mr. Du reiterated his strict order again today, and he was not allowed to send troops to meet the battle. A Xuanjia Lang whispered in a rough voice, his tone was very impatient, "In my opinion, this Mr. Du is just taking a cautious and cautious excuse, but in fact, he is afraid of the 200,000 Xue army and does not dare to move." ”

"Exactly, exactly." Another deep voice responded, "The last time I didn't teach to fight, it was because of the illness of His Royal Highness King Qin, and now His Royal Highness has already been safe, jumping as usual, and he can also lead soldiers, so why do you still have to shrink in a high jaw and wait." I don't know when I will ......."

The voice at the head sighed again: "It's really aggrieved, it's better to rush into battle and slash the pleasure of slashing." Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Xue army, most of them are stragglers recruited along the way, how can they beat us. ”

"You can't say that, let's go into battle and kill us, and set up a battle to plan those brain-burning things, you know?" The third Xuanjia Lang whispered with a sneer, accompanied by a few low laughs from these people. "I heard that the Lu team said in person, according to Mr. Du's idea, there is no grain in the city, and the grain of the Xue army is still plundered all the way from Jincheng, and the support is not much to this day, and it is estimated that it will not last long. We have a lot of food, and we have our backs to Chang'an, if it is really not enough, we can transfer grain and grass from Chang'an at any time, even if we can suffocate Xue Jun to death. Even if they can't be suffocated, when the hunger is unbearable, the army's morale is scattered, and it is easier to break through. ”

A few people were about to turn their heads and think about this strategy, and they were quiet for a while, and someone said: "Mr. Du said in front of the generals that day, if you want to take 20,000 horses to fight with 200,000, with your bravery, you can probably have a chance of winning, but it is not worth hurting 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself." There is only one life of a soldier, and it is good to sacrifice one's life to kill the enemy, but whose life is not a precious anomaly, if the soldier can not be bloodless, or suffer less damage, why take so many lives in vain. ”

These words made those people sigh for a while, and praised Du Ruhui again.

Mu Qing sat behind the vegetable pile, silently curled the corners of his lips, and then smiled bitterly. She really didn't understand his mind, sometimes seeing him kill decisively, mercilessly, and sometimes extremely sorry for human life, which one is what he wants, and he must ask carefully when he has time.

The Xuanjia Lang talked for a while, and the cool breeze blew for a while, and then it was time to put out the fire, and the four of them went into the camp together. In an instant, the candles of the entire camp were gradually extinguished, and in less than a moment, only the moonlight like water remained, like a huge silver-white soft silk covering the camp. The guards changed shifts, their leather boots clattering, and they stepped on the ground neatly, and walked vigilantly around the camp.

Mu Qing piled the selected vegetables in the big bamboo basket beside him, and the head of the battalion poked his head out of the tent, "It's not early, Mrs. Gu will go back, there is not much work left, leave me here." The basket of vegetables was so heavy and tight, Madame didn't move it, someone else would carry it. ”

"Then I'll go, I'm tired." Mu Qing stood up, patted her palms a few times, dusted off the vegetable leaves stained on the Hu clothes, there was a big water tank in front of the tent, she scooped some water out of the water tank, scrubbed it hard, rubbed off the dirt on her hands, the moon was reflected on the water, swaying, she couldn't help but look up at the bright moon that was as clean as a jade plate.

Just as he was about to move, the man also looked at the sky, and the dark and dark camp in front of him, "Madame, wait, the campfire has been extinguished now, and it is difficult to walk with the black lights, so it is better to find someone to escort Madame back to the tent." ”

Mu Qing was just about to open her mouth to thank her, and the sentence "no need" had reached the tip of her tongue, when suddenly a "no need" came from behind a camp tent in front of her, and she was in front of her.

Listening to the sound, Mu Qing couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, a warm and mellow voice that was all too familiar.

Du Ruhui stepped out of the back of the tent in the moonlight, the moonlight outlined the outline of his face more and more deeply, a smile on his lips, and slowly walked towards her.

"Yo......" the manager exclaimed in a low voice, "Mr. Du." I felt remorse in my heart, and secretly wondered if I had left this Mrs. Gu too late, so that Mr. Du came to look for her in person, knowing that this was the case, whether it was to send her away, or to beg, she should have asked her to go back early.

Thinking of this, the manager couldn't help but explain to him, "I should have sent my wife back to the account earlier, but I forgot everything in this hurry, and now I want Mr. Du to pick it up in person, this is really ......."

"No problem." Du Ruhui waved his hand and stretched out his hand to Mu Qing.

The head of the matter was relieved, and he hurriedly arched his hand, "Mr. Du, Mrs. Gu go slowly." Immediately retracted into the tent of the house.

Mu Qing smiled narrowly, deliberately skimming his outstretched hand and walking around to the other side of him. He held one hand in the air, but the other arm reached out very quickly, and before she could come back to her senses, the whole person had taught him to stop his waist and circle him, and he did not have to exert a little strength under his feet, and he led him forward.

She suddenly felt funny, and chuckled twice, which actually taught Du Ruhui to be stunned, when was the last time he heard her laugh like this, he couldn't remember it, as if it had been a long time.

Du Ruhui circled her waist, and the two stepped on the edge of the camp simultaneously, the clear light was sprinkled all over, the cool breeze was blowing, and Mu Qing involuntarily exhaled a long sigh of satisfaction from his chest.

"How?" Du Ruhui lowered his head sideways and asked softly, "Why are you sighing?" ”

"Everyone sighed, but there was some emotion." Mu Qing was taken away by him, and simply leaned on him with the strength of his whole body, and followed him lazily and comfortably.

"What do you feel?" He asked again.

Mu Qing smiled silently, and grabbed his arm, "I suddenly remembered the cool pavilion in Yuhang Mansion, halfway up the mountain, this season, such a night, in the cool pavilion to spread a bamboo mat on the spot, or sit or lie down, the most calming is to bring a short piano, pluck, really out of the world." ”

"It turns out that the sound of the piano, which often disturbs people's dreams at night, is your credit. When the sky is full of stars, when the moon is like a hook, when the sun is full, it is also played, but it is played out of rhythm, I just wonder, is it possible that the person who plays the piano does not know that his piano skills are not satisfactory? The more Du Ruhui spoke, the more he couldn't help but laugh.

"Is it really that bad?" Mu Qing pursed his lips, and then whispered to himself, "Also, no matter how you practice, you can't play as well as your brother." ”

Du Ruhui was not very willing from the bottom of his heart to mention the years when he was a childhood sweetheart with Yu under such a warm moonlight, and he even regretted his shrinkage. I clearly heard her stroking the piano on the pavilion, and she stood in front of the house until the sound of the piano dissipated, and the people left, but they never had the courage to go up to the pavilion.

Mu Qing muttered a lot of words beside him, he didn't listen to it at all, he thought about it for a while, and felt funny at first glance, he had been with her for eight years, and now he has Xiao Shilang, who has passed the age of standing, but he is as real as a young boy.

secretly laughed at himself, but reminded him of something, so he stopped laughing, and was afraid of provoking her worries, so he deliberately put on a casual tone, "Is there any news about your brother and sister-in-law recently?" ”

Mu Qing paused and laughed, paused for a breath or two, and shook his head, "Sister-in-law has been gone for a long time, and it is said that she should have returned to Jincheng a long time ago." I've been in the army all the time, and it's inconvenient to receive letters, so I think it should be smooth and sound. She should comfort herself with this, she can only think like this, the slightest deviation will make her restless and exhausted.

Du Ruhui's heart slowly sank downward, but the sense of ominousness was like oil floating on the water, which soon became a piece and lingered. When he was still stationed outside Chang'an City, he had sent people to Jincheng County to inquire about the news, Xue Ju had already led the army to leave Jincheng, and he was bent on the front line, and he had no time to review, and if Yu Li wanted to escape, this was the best time. I thought that I would order someone to take him out of Jincheng and send him to Chang'an to settle down first, so as to teach Mu Qing to rest assured.

The people who went to investigate only rushed back today, and learned that most of the Sui officials in Jincheng County had already surrendered Xue Ju, and occasionally those who had made up their minds to serve the country loyally and refused to surrender were all taught Xue Dalang to clean up, and even the bones were not left, and they all filled the teeth of the mastiffs he raised.

Yu Li in the Changshi Mansion did not know where to go, not only Yu Li was nowhere to be found, but even Ye Na and the family in the mansion were nowhere to be found. Inquire about the neighbors in the workshop, dare not say much, pestering for several days, let someone let go of the inform, Yu Changshi and Mrs. Changshi suddenly taught people to smash open the door of the house in the front of the battle and take them away, and all the servants and maids in the house fled, and the rest were gone.

When Du Ruhui listened to this letter, he still had a glimmer of hope, he didn't hurt the servants and maids in the house, and only took away Yu Li and his wife, which didn't seem to be Xue Dalang's style, maybe Mu Qing had someone secretly picked them up. Listening to Mu Qing's blank answer now, he knew that the situation was generally not good. R1152
