Chapter 38: Danger on the Way Home (2)

Fu Yanyan ordered a pergola to be erected on the spot to shade the sun and rest, and waited for the scorching sun to pass before proceeding. The soldiers of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info jumped off their horses, stretched their sore arms and backs, and removed the felt tents from their horses.

After a while, the wind spirit came to the front of the soldiers, and saw that they were leaning against the mound to set up a simple pergola, three or two people in a shed, sitting in one place and laughing, and the scorching sun above their heads was blocked by the pergola, which was very pleasant.

She had made up her mind to accompany the army, except for a stack of dried cakes and eight water bladders, she had almost nothing ready, and she wholeheartedly planned to eat and live all the way, and a horse Yue Jin donated for military funds in vain, and it was nothing to use him.

Moreover, with the matter of Gongtian first, he always owes her a favor, and the person is in front of him, and he will not watch her starve to death and die of thirst in the desert.

At this time, Feng Ling raised his eyes and glanced around the crowd of soldiers, and saw Fu Yanzheng sitting alone under a pergola, leaning against the mound and pretending to sleep. The team called Ding Si'er was walking towards him with a skin water bladder in one hand and a hu cake in the other.

Fu Tanyan opened his eyes and took the food in Ding Si'er's hand, and the afterglow swept over, and he was quite surprised, only to see that it was the wind spirit standing by the mound not far away. Because the mounds that could slightly shield her from the scorching sun were occupied by the soldiers, she had to go back and forth between the remaining mounds to find a shelter to rely on.

In the middle of the day, the sun's rays are like countless fine small blades, shining down, stabbing people's skin painfully, the sand and gravel under their feet are hot after being scorched by the sun, and the feet of the delay can still feel the scorching heat of the gravel through the heavy military boots, not to mention the ordinary brocade boots under the feet of the wind spirit. In order not to let the gravel burn her feet, she didn't even dare to stand in place for too long.

Ding Si'er was a little overwhelmed, and quietly said to Fu Yanyan: "We can occupy the place where the sun can be hidden, that little lady has nowhere to hide, blame the pitiful, such a big day, it is difficult to ensure that the sun is not damaged, this side is still empty, why don't you call her to rest." ”

Fu Yanyan didn't even raise her head: "You don't have to worry about her, she is used to the business roads in this desert, and she has the ability to move Pyongyang County Bo and help her blend into the escort team all the way, and she should also have the ability to go back." ”

Ding Si'er smacked his tongue, looked at the weak figure among the mounds, and secretly complained that Du Wei was hard-hearted, had no pity for the jade, and his face was not easy to show, and after counting the number of soldiers, he went back to his shed.

The wind spirit picked a mound that could be slightly shaded, and sat down in the small shadow, and after a while, the sunlight shifted, and the shadow of the mound became smaller and smaller, and she could not sit still, so she had to put her hands on her shoulders and bury her face in her elbows to avoid the sun.

The soldiers under the pergola inquired at her from time to time, and wanted to invite her to sit under the shed, peeking at her solemn face, but no one dared to speak.

Ding Si'er was already a warm-hearted person, and because he had spoken a few words to Feng Ling when he came, seeing her like this at this time, he couldn't bear it.

He turned his face and saw that Fu Yan had closed his eyes and rested, and he would not wake up for a while, so he quietly walked to the side of the wind spirit. "The little lady doesn't bring a tent when she goes out, how long can she survive under the poisonous sun. If you don't think we rough people are dirty and smelly, you might as well go and sit under my shed. ”

Feng Ling was so hot that he was dizzy, and he was thinking about finding a pretext to get into the pergola of the government soldiers, Ding Si'er came to invite, and he couldn't ask for it, so he quickly stood up and sat down with him to the pergola.

After sitting down, she leaned over to look at the movement over there, and saw that he was still sitting with his eyes closed, and he had no intention of waking up, so she thanked Ding Si'er: "Team Ding is merciful, and Feng Ling is grateful." ”

Ding Si'er smiled roughly: "The little lady is polite, the daughter's family is exposed to the sun, but the man has a pergola to hide from the shade, I Ding Si'er can't stand this matter." He raised his head and glanced at Yan Yan, "Don't complain about our ruthlessness, he is not an unreasonable person on weekdays, don't take it to heart." ”

Feng Ling said in his heart: He is usually kind, but he has never had a good face towards me, where did I offend him, or did I clash with each other? With a smile on his face, he thanked Ding Si'er again and again.

Ding Si'er couldn't hold back her words, hesitated for a while, and then asked the doubts that had been in her heart for a few days: "However, it's also strange, when she came, the little lady was clearly the maid of the Pyongyang County Uncle, how could she say that she would be released when she was released?" On that day, I took the place in front of the door of the Hucao Yamen, and I looked at the little lady as if she knew the captain, and I didn't know ......"

Ding Si'er asked this bluntly, and he felt abrupt, and the few soldiers around him who had not slept were also curious, and they all turned their faces and waited for Feng Ling's answer.

Feng Ling smiled awkwardly, and said bluntly: "Don't hide it, this matter is indeed blamed on me." Feng Ling was originally a merchant in Dunhuang City, and he wanted to go to Xizhou to deal with some affairs, but he was afraid of being bandited on the way, so he inquired about the soldiers of the government who would escort him to Pyongyang County, so he secretly thought about taking a good ride. Before he could ask for the governor of Yandu, he relied on some personal friendship with Bo Luo of Pyongyang County, assumed the name of his maidservant, and went all the way to Xizhou. In order to facilitate my return to Shazhou, the county uncle of Pyongyang gave me a document for the release of my servants and maids, which is why I had the incident at the door of the Cao Ya. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and when they heard that she had a friendship with the county uncle of Pyongyang, they didn't feel that they had to pay some respect. Feng Ling smiled again: "It turned out that Feng Ling was at fault first, and I can't complain that Captain Yan is annoyed with me." ”

The delicate little woman of the Tang family, with a crisp voice and a smile like a clear spring, sounded like a cool stream flowing through the soldiers, and the scorching sun at noon in the desert was not so vicious, it seemed that not long had passed, the sun had deviated away, converged a sharp blade-like light, and gradually became softer.

Fu Yanyan opened his eyes, shook his legs that had not moved for a long time, and stood up. He had already heard the laughter of the wind spirit and the soldiers, he knew that she was forced by the poisonous sun and had nowhere to hide, so he did not expel her, and now the heat has passed, the team will be reopened, and he will not allow her to mix in the team again.

"Team D." Fu Yan called Ding Si'er in a deep voice, "Summon, pack up and set off, and travel another two hundred miles before dark." ”

Feng Ling originally wanted to thank him, but after Ding Si'er received the order, he hurriedly shouted and urged everyone to pack up their things, and there was no time for him to care.

Just as he was hesitating, Fu Yanyan walked towards her step by step, his expression was cold, and Feng Ling said to himself in his heart: There must be no good words to say to me. While raising the corners of his lips and blooming a beautiful smile, he secretly told himself that he had to endure a moment of anger to have a safe journey.

"I've rested too, if Gu Niangzi is fine, please don't disturb the queue of government soldiers." Sure enough, it was an expulsion order.

Feng Ling smiled at his gaze: "Naturally, there is something to follow all the way to the army." She took advantage of the situation and saluted, and said: "The slave Tang family, the county looks at Jiangnan Road, alone, wandering in the wilderness and desert, and happened to meet the Tang army, asking for refuge from peers." ”

Fu Yan Liang snorted: "Clever words." I, a Tang Dynasty soldier, protect the frontier and protect the country, how can I send an envoy like you? ”

"Captain Yandu's words are wrong." The smile on Feng Ling's face deepened a little, and he sneered at each other: "The captain led the army to protect the country, but he didn't know what the foundation of the country was. ”

"Naturally, it's the king."

The wind spirit continued: "Monarch, Zhou Ye. Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. Shuren is in peace, how about asking Du Weijun? ”

"Gentleman's position." Fu Yanyan replied casually.

"Well, Du Wei is very knowledgeable, and he has read Xun Fuzi's "Royal System", which is not like an ordinary general." Feng Ling nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Du Wei can understand the foundation of the country now?" ”

Fu Yan didn't answer her, but a hint of amusement flashed on his solemn face.

Feng Ling simply replied: "According to Master Xun's teachings, the foundation of the country should be the common people. Therefore, a lowly Tang common man like me is in trouble with Du Wei, can Du Wei save it? ”

Fu Yanyan glanced at her several times, and replied: "Gu Niangzi is also very knowledgeable, unlike ordinary merchants." With that, he turned and walked away, leaving the Wind Spirit behind him.
