Chapter 103: King Xiaoming
Tie Rou's tent was very warm, and there was a very large covered charcoal pot in the four corners, she told Xi Yunzhi before leaving, the things in the tent could be used casually, and Xi Yunzhi didn't want to be polite, because if she was polite at this time, she and Xiao An would really not be able to live.
She carried the water to the edge of the soft bed, then asked Xiao An to sit on top of her, helped him take off his clothes, wiped his body with a towel soaked in hot water and wrung out, and after wiping it, let him hide in the quilt, and then used the water he scrubbed his body to help him wash all his clothes, and then hung them on the shelf on the four corners of the charcoal basin, waiting to dry.
Xiao An hadn't slept in such a comfortable bed for several days, and she didn't want to come out when she was lying in the quilt, so Xi Yunzhi took the opportunity to clean herself, but she was afraid that someone would suddenly come in, so she didn't dare to wash her clothes, so she just patted the dust on her clothes, and the soaked place when washing her clothes was put on a charcoal basin and roasted, and after drying, she wore it on her body again.
A male voice came from outside the tent: "Madam, the food has been brought to you, can you come in?" β
Xi Yunzhi stood vigilantly beside the bed, called people in, and saw two soldiers holding two food boxes and said to her:
"Madam, this is what the Iron Commander ordered to deliver, so you will eat some."
After Xi Yunzhi thanked him, the two people went out, Xi Yunzhi took the two food boxes to the side of the bed, and asked Xiao An to sit up wrapped in the quilt, and then she moved the low coffee table on the ground to the couch and took out the contents of the food box one by one.
Unexpectedly, in just one cup of tea, Tie Rou made more than a dozen dishes, chicken, duck and fish were readily available, Xiao An was stunned, Xi Yunzhi ripped off a chicken leg and handed it to him, Xiao An took the chicken leg and bit it violently, and said to Xi Yunzhi while eating:
"Mother, it's delicious."
Xi Yunzhi was also hungry, since she was captured, she had barely had anything, and she couldn't help but eat.
Xiao An had too many things in his mouth and couldn't choke, Xi Yunzhi hurriedly poured water for him and told him to eat slowly, Xiao An nodded again and again, but he didn't dare to slack off on the movements of his hands and mouth.
Xi Yunzhi knew that this child was also extremely hungry to be like this, so he poured water for him with vegetables on the side.
The mother and son had a full meal, and Xi Yunzhi saw that there were still a few steamed buns on the plate that she couldn't eat, so she wrapped them in a handkerchief and hid them, and after tasting the taste of hunger, she never wanted to taste it again.
After Xiao An ate and drank enough, he began to feel sleepy, Xi Yunzhi held him in his arms and hummed a little song for a while, and he fell asleep.
Putting him in the soft futon, Xi Yunzhi began to carefully look at Tie Rou's tent, judging from the things she used, she must have a certain status in this army, she heard those people call her 'Iron Commander', I don't know who is the leader.
If she asks for her, will she be willing to help her inquire about her husband's whereabouts?
After being captured by that national teacher, it has been a day and a night, and I don't know what happened to my husband, whether the wound has worsened again, and how will he be treated?
All kinds of worries were entrenched in Xi Yunzhi's heart, making her unable to sleep peacefully, until Tie Rou came back at night, she hadn't fallen asleep, she sat up vigilantly, and met Tie Rou's gentle gaze.
I only heard Tie Rou make a gesture to silence her, and then pointed at Xiao An, meaning that the child was sleeping and couldn't speak too loudly.
Xi Yunzhi pulled Tie Rou aside, and before he could speak, he knelt down at her:
"Iron girl, I'm also desperate, so I beg you, please save my husband, he was arrested, and now his life and death are uncertain."
Tie Rou heard Xi Yunzhi mention 'husband', and said strangely:
"Your husband...... Do you mean Bu Tan? β
Xi Yunzhi's tears overflowed his eyes, and he nodded again and again: "It's Bu Qin, please save him, he was seriously injured in order to save me before, and he hasn't healed yet, and now he has been taken by the national teacher of Qi to test the medicine, I really don't know what to do." β
Tie Rou helped Xi Yunzhi up, revealing a look of embarrassment:
"Madam, you are my Tierou's life-saving benefactor, I should save you, but Bu Qin, I can't save it, even if I can save it, I can't save it. The national teacher Lu Mang is to develop a medicine to prolong life for the emperor, and the medicine slave he wants, looking at the entire Qi country, there are few who can save people. β
Xi Yunzhi wanted to say something, but saw Tie Rou shaking her head at her:
"Madame doesn't need to say any more, there is nothing you can do." After saying this, Tie Rou took another futon from the cabinet on one side and said:
"From now on, you can live here in peace, and I'll sleep somewhere else."
ββ¦β¦β
After finishing speaking, Tie Rou lifted the curtain and walked out, leaving Xi Yunzhi alone to stand in the shadows.

Gu Ran changed back into Qi Guo's outfit, and the thick coat wrapped his whole person, and he wore a mink hat, which made him look a lot more noble.
"My lord, I've searched it all, and this tribe seems to have been completely ransacked."
Gu Ran turned over and dismounted, stood in front of the Evenki village and shouted:
"The people who repelled our Qi country stragglers are obviously two people from the Central Plains with unique skills, they must be the people I am looking for, it's only been a few days, how can it be that people are gone? Search me again, dig three feet into the ground, and find people for me. β
The entourage had no choice but to retreat and go to search, but the whole village was only so big, and there was no search around, and a soldier who was exploring the way ran behind him, and said in Gu Ran's ear:
"My lord, the people of this tribe have all been captured in Yanzhou, just two days ago, no wonder there is no one here."
Gu Ran frowned, and said in disbelief: "Captured in Yanzhou?" Darn! Integrate the whole army and go to Yanzhou! β
ββ¦β¦β
After Gu Ran and them left, more than a dozen people came out of the cellar, and they turned out to be the leaders of the Bada who had returned to the tribe one step ahead of them.
The rough face of the Bada leader was full of annoyance and sorrow, and he knelt down as he looked at the devastated tribe.
Han Feng and Zhao Yi were also so angry that they wanted to kill people, but in two days, a place like a paradise was captured by the scum of Qi State, thinking of their father and wife, Zhao Yi and Han Feng couldn't wait to screw off their heads and kick them as a ball.
"I heard from them just now that the captives are all in Yanzhou, let's sum it up and go and save them."
A man beside the leader of Bada put forward his own suggestion to everyone, and after the leader of Bada and Han Feng glanced at them, they unanimously approved the proposal, and all the men gathered around to discuss countermeasures.
Mother Liu and Ruyi Ruyue sat on the ground with a sad face, Ruyue was the youngest, and she cried as soon as she wowed.
***
Xi Yunzhi knew that since Tie Rou refused to agree to save Bu Tan, it would be useless for her to pray again.
She was left to figure it out on her own.
On the third day of her confinement in Tierou's camp, things took a turn for the worse, and King Xiaoming, whom Tierou had been loyal to, sent her to meet her.
Xi Yunzhi led Xiao An out of Tierou's camp and went to King Xiaoming's commander's camp.
In just a short distance, Xi Yunzhi seemed to feel that it was as difficult as if she had walked for a few years, and finally arrived, and her heart almost jumped to her throat, and she was still thinking about how to persuade this Xiaoming King to save her husband, but Xi Yunzhi completely lost this wish after seeing that person.
King Xiaoming turned out to be another medicine slave of Master Yan, the traitor Yan Dong who had betrayed Bu Qin. Although his poison had been cured at the moment, Xi Yunzhi recognized his slender, slightly upturned eyes.
Xi Yunzhi was a little desperate, this person was her husband's nemesis, not only could she not let him save people, but she also had to hide the fact that Bu Tan was taken away by the national teacher to test the medicine, otherwise, who dares to guarantee that this sworn enemy would not rush to the national teacher's mansion and completely destroy Bu Qin?
"Do you still know me?"
King Xiaoming was gorgeously dressed and sat behind the main case, and he was the only one in the huge tent, and even Tie Rou didn't know where he had been spent.
Xi Yunzhi lowered his head and shook it lightly, but King Xiaoming laughed:
"Lie, your eyes tell me you recognize me."
ββ¦β¦β
Xi Yunzhi bowed his head and was silent.
I saw King Xiaoming walk out from behind the main case, walked up to Xi Yunzhi with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile:
"I'll just say who Tie Rou is hiding recently, I didn't expect it to be you."
Xi Yunzhi was forced by his momentum, and couldn't help but take two steps back, only to see King Xiaoming set his eyes on Xiao An again, and said in surprise:
"This can't be ......" and looked at it a few more times: "Well, it must be, it's carved out of a mold with Bu Qin." β
Xi Yunzhi hid Xiao An behind her guardedly, ready to pick up Xiao An and turn around as soon as this Xiaoming King made a move.
But Yan Dong just looked at it, and didn't plan to move a single hair of Xiao An, so he sat on the Taishi chair next to him and said to Xi Yunzhi:
"What about the Bu Tan people? He is really not a good husband and father, and he has put you and children in such a situation. Yan Dong propped his chin, looked at Xi Yunzhi, and hooked the corners of his lips:
"Come, tell me how you got mixed up with the Evenks? You...... Taken a break by Bu Qin? β
Xi Yunzhi was just silent, Yan Dong felt a little bored as he spoke, and slapped the coffee table, which startled Xi Yunzhi:
"If you don't speak, I'll send your son into the river to feed the fish."
Xiao An also felt scared when he heard this, Xi Yunzhi picked him up and comforted him, and said to Yan Dong, who had succeeded in his treacherous face:
"What do you want me to say?"
Yan Dong shrugged his shoulders and looked like 'you still spoke after all': "Whatever, say something I like to hear." β
Xi Yunzhi took a deep breath and said in one go:
"Okay, then I said it, Bu Qin was wronged by Emperor Xiao for collaborating with the enemy, was dismissed, raided his home, and fled all the way here. This news, do you like to hear it? β
'Papapa', Yan Dong applauded Xi Yunzhi a few times, surprised by her boldness:
"I love to listen, I love this, you are really ice and snow smart, no wonder that picky man in Bu Qin will marry you."
As he was talking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves kicking outside the tent, and then the soldier's call:
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrivedβ"
The author has something to say: the third more ~~~ I'm going to break the bird ~~~ waving ~~~~~
