Chapter 277: Expedition
Early in the morning of the second day, the army bound for the northern frontier city set out for the march. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wu Tianrou stood on the city wall of the North City Gate, looking at the figure of Situ Sedum wearing a suit of armor and a red cloak flying in the wind, and couldn't help but silently leave tears.
It seems that God also knows the cruelty of war, and today there was a heavy snowfall, and with the departure of the expedition, everyone's footprints were all buried by the heavy snow.
"Miss, go back, the snow is getting heavier and heavier."
Cuiqin helped Wu Tianrou and whispered in her ear.
"With such a lot of snow, it must have been a difficult walk. The weather is cold again, and Blackwater City is the northernmost part of our country. The climate is even colder and I'm really worried......"
Without taking a single step, Wu Tianrou just stood on the city wall, looking at the northern horizon from afar and refusing to leave.
"Xiaorou, don't do this, go back."
Liu Ruyan, who came over at some point, gently took Wu Tianrou's hand and led her slowly down the steps on the city wall.
"Ruyan, you're here to send General Liu."
Although her eyes were a little red, Wu Tianrou still looked at Liu Ruyan with a smile.
"Well, in previous years, I was with my father and eldest brother, although I went to the battlefield less, but I also played a part in the border city. This is the first time I've seen my father go to war.
To be honest, this feeling of looking at the back of a loved one is really uncomfortable. However, I believe in my father's ability, and he will be able to lead the army and drive out the people of the Flame Country. ”
Smiling at Wu Tianrou, Liu Ruyan told her feelings.
"Well, I also believe in the ability of the crown prince and General Liu, they will definitely lead the army of Tianshui Kingdom to defeat the invading enemies of Yanhuo Country, and return safely with victory."
Gripping Liu Ruyan's hand tightly, Wu Tianrou nodded heavily.
No matter how worried and uneasy she was in her heart, Situ Jingtian finally went out with the army. Wu Tianrou looked at the black crowd standing under the city gate, all of them were here to send their relatives to the battlefield, and she couldn't help but feel very emotional, and she hated the arrival of the war even more.
After coming down from the city wall, Wu Tianrou did not return to the prince's mansion, but was pulled by Liu Ruyan and came directly to the Eight Treasure Tower.
Liu Ruyan pulled her and ran straight to the box upstairs. As soon as she entered the box, Wu Tianrou saw that Du Rong was already sitting here drinking tea and waiting for them.
"You're here, come in and sit down, it's cold outside, hurry up and bake the fire."
Du Rong saw Wu Tianrou and Liu Ruyan, who were covered with snowflakes on their bodies, walked in, and hurriedly stood up and asked the maid to brush off the snowflakes on the two of them, and served them both a cup of hot tea.
"Come and sit down and have some hot water to warm up."
"Thank you Rong'er, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
Looking at the large pile of peanut shells on the table in front of Du Rong, Wu Tianrou smiled, and seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Oh, if you see it, you see it, don't you say it, it's like I've eaten a lot!"
As Wu Tianrou's eyes saw the pile of peanut shells on her table, Du Rong couldn't help but blush, and shouted reluctantly. At the same time, she hurriedly waved her hand and asked her maid to come forward and clean up all the pits and peanut shells on the table.
"Hehe......"
Although she knew that Du Rong's exaggerated movements and shouts were actually to make herself happy, Wu Tianrou still showed a knowing smile. Because of Liu Ruyan and Du Rong's care, she could feel it all, which made her very glad that she could meet a friend like them.
"Thank you, I'm fine. I want to learn from Ruyan, and I also believe in their abilities and believe that they can come back safely. ”
Wu Tianrou picked up the teacup and looked at Liu Ruyan and Du Rong with a smile.
"Let us replace wine with tea, and wish our country's army a victory, and we will surely return victorious!"
"Good! My Tianshui country will win! Cheers! ”
Liu Ruyan also smiled and raised the teacup and looked at Du Rong. The latter hurriedly picked up the cups, and the tea cups of the three of them touched each other, drank them all in one gulp, and then looked at each other and laughed.
"Come on, Rou'er, let me tell you, this person, if you are in a low mood, then you must eat something delicious. When the food enters your mouth, you will forget any troubles! Really, this is a tried-and-true solution, and that's how I did! ”
Putting down the teacup, Du Rong looked at Wu Tianrou with a serious face, and began to recommend her own ways to regulate her mood.
"So, you proposed to come to Babaolou today?"
Looking at Du Rong, who looked serious and nodded straight, Wu Tianrou couldn't help but laugh directly.
"What's wrong? It's really smart. ”
Looking at Wu Qian and Liu Ruyan, who were laughing, Du Rong was a little confused.
"Haha, I said Rong'er, no wonder you can't lose weight all the time, it turns out that whether you are happy or unhappy, you celebrate by eating delicious food."
Without waiting for Wu Tianrou to speak, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but speak out first, which attracted the little maids who were waiting on the side, and they were also busy covering their mouths and noses, and they couldn't help laughing and enduring hardship.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and there was a knock on the door of the private room, and it turned out that the dish ordered by Du Rong had been ready, and it was sent up at this time.
Babaolou deserves to be called Babaolou, as soon as this special dish is delivered, the whole private room is full of the aroma of food. Even Liu Ruyan, who was not too hungry, couldn't help but swallow her saliva at this time.
At the moment of food, there is no need to talk nonsense, Wu Tianrou and the three of them all picked up chopsticks and began to eat. Why? Because of Du Rong, the king of big stomachs, if you don't move the chopsticks, you may all be eaten up by Du Rong.
A meal that was not considered breakfast or lunch, and in the competition between Wu Tianrou, Liu Ruyan and Du Rong, they ate happily and lively. Fortunately, Wu Tianrou was in a low mood, so she didn't eat at all in the morning, otherwise she really couldn't eat so many things.
After eating, they sat together and talked for a while, and then the three of them stood up, left Babaolou, and went home.
Walking back in the carriage, Wu Tianrou, who had hardly slept all night, was a little drowsy with the shaking of the carriage. Just when she was in a semi-hazy state, her arm was gently patted by Cuiqin, and Wu Tianrou immediately woke up.
"Arrived?"
"Well, miss, I've returned to the Prince's Mansion. When I got back to my room, I changed my clothes, and then I had a good rest. You barely slept last night, and now you even have dark circles under your eyes. ”
Holding Wu Tianrou's arm, Cuiqin helped her out of the carriage and whispered.
Wu Tianrou raised her eyes and looked at the people who were still busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner, and nodded with a light smile. (To be continued.) )
