In the wax moon, the morning is getting colder and colder. Linglong woke up before dawn, and she took out the cornflower pocket watch from under her pillow, and it was a quarter past five in the morning.

I slept too early last night, and I didn't feel sleepy at this time, so Linglong remembered to read the notebook for a while. There was a black Peng tooth in the stepping bed, Linglong was just about to go to the glass lamp on it, the body was cold, the brocade embroidered with pomegranate flowers was lifted, and a hot body squeezed over.

"Don't get up, lie down with me." Maybe he hasn't fully woken up yet, with a thick nasal voice, which sounds like he is coquettish.

Why is the nasal voice so heavy, could it be that the princes are delicate and expensive, and they were injured by the medicine?

She subconsciously touched his forehead with her hand, and touched her own, it was slightly hot, but it didn't look like a fever.

She wanted to look at him again, but his hand was grabbed by him and stuffed back into the bed: "You be careful of catching a cold." ”

Linglong is a little weak-hearted, this person shouldn't be aware of it

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"Why don't you sleep?" He asked rhetorically.

"Can't sleep"

"Me too, why did I go to bed so early last night?" Yan Xu's hand was familiar with the road, and he reached into the placket of Linglong's clothes.

If it was usual, Linglong would definitely avoid him, and he would have to coax and deceive to succeed, but today's words shocked Linglong, and he laughed weakly as a thief, and quickly changed the topic: "Who knows, by the way, you talked about my uncle yesterday, and then you talked about it." ”

Yan Xu saw that her heart was weak, so she simply held the soft ball gently, and it was only three months. It seems to have grown up

"In that year's battle of the Tile Thorn, the Duke of Zhenguo Gu was in command, and the prince of Chu was the escort officer, responsible for escorting weapons and armor, and your two uncles were under his command. At that time, the border passes were tight, and it was a cold winter, and the border officers were seriously injured, and this batch of armaments was urgently needed. Unexpectedly, this batch of armaments was transported to the border and opened to take a look. It was full of scrap copper and rotten iron. The armor was incomplete, and some of the swords still had dried blood stains, which were clearly eliminated on the battlefield, and even worse. Some of the armor was nailed with animal skins. That's the Warat thing! ”

The inside of the Qingluo curtain tent was dim and dark. It was still early, and the maids and women of Jueyin Yaju had already gotten up and cleaned the courtyard in shifts. The fire was lit to boil the water, but the small courtyard where Linglong lived was still quiet, and the maids did not dare to disturb the princess and princess, and they were all walking on tiptoe.

There was silence all around, only Yan Xu's deep voice sounded in his ears, he told the news he investigated, although ten years have passed, but now listening to it, Linglong is still dumbfounded.

"All changed?" She asked.

"Yes, there are 300 boxes, each weighing more than 200 catties, and all of them have been transferred! Before this batch of armaments left the city, it was your uncle who personally opened the box and inspected it, and it was your second uncle who was responsible for counting the number. This war has been fought for three years, and in the past three years, all the armaments and materials have been counted and handed over by the two of them, only this time something went wrong, or a big mistake! ”

"Then, the court didn't check again, so it was all on my two uncles?" Linglong doesn't remember these two uncles, when the Feng family had an accident, she was only two or three years old.

"They killed themselves in fear of sin." Yan Xu was as light as possible, Linglong never mentioned these two uncles, she was still very young at the time, she shouldn't have too much affection for them, and she wouldn't be particularly sad when she thought about it.

But Linglong still hasn't spoken for a long time, if her grandfather hadn't died, and her uncles hadn't died, the Jin family would not have been slow to snub her mother, just with Song Xiuzhu, a concubine who relied on the Feng family, she didn't dare to slander her mother's family in front of her father, let alone use fake Baihuixiang to harm her!

"When my uncles die, this matter is over? The prince of Chu is an escort officer, didn't he be held responsible? And the other people who accompanied them, didn't they think that there would be a mole among the living? ”

Linglong's voice was very soft, but Yan Xu still heard the fluctuation of the voice, and he reluctantly took his hand out of her shirt and patted her on the back: "The prince of Chu also committed suicide, the close-fitting dagger pierced his chest, and the handle of the knife was still in his own hand, according to Jin Yiwei's records at the time, whether it was the posture of holding the knife or the direction of the blood droplets, it was undoubtedly suicide." ”

Also dead?

"Then how did my uncles kill themselves, and did they also stab themselves in the chest?" Linglong asked.

"They committed suicide by hanging from a beam."

Suicide by a cantilever beam?

Linglong was stunned for a while, let Yan Xu take her into his arms, her face was close to his chest, the bed clothes were thin, she moved slightly, and she touched the two dogwoods on his chest, she was a little embarrassed, she left her face a little, his chest muscles were tight, and she looked like she was practicing martial arts.

Martial arts? No, something seems wrong.

Linglong's brain swept through like a white horse, and she lifted her face from his chest, and within this dim curtain, her eyes were as bright as the morning star.

"The Feng family is a general, and the uncles are in the army all the year round, they are all martial arts practitioners, how can a person who practices martial arts choose to commit suicide by hanging a beam? Isn't that a common method used by powerless women and civil officials to seek death? Should the uncles give themselves a knife like the prince of Chu State, or directly wipe their necks and kill themselves? “

Yan Xu looked at the little woman in her arms with appreciation, how could she be so smart. When he first saw these secret reports, he didn't pay attention to them, and it was many days later that when he listened to the play, he suddenly thought that Xiang Yu, the overlord on the stage, killed himself in Wujiang, and that was the death of a martial artist.

"What you said is very reasonable, the people who want to come to Jinyiwei also find it strange, otherwise they will not block the cause of their death, so far, the imperial court has not said anything about the death of the Feng brothers, neither according to the compensation of the fallen sergeant, nor to investigate the responsibility of the Feng family."

Linglong nodded, her plain white face had a seriousness that did not match her age, and she asked again, "What about later?" This matter was stopped and not investigated again? What to do with those lost armaments? How do the soldiers at the border still fight? ”

Yan Xu chuckled, sure enough, he didn't continue to dwell on the cause of his uncles' deaths, and immediately thought of how to fight that battle. That's how his little girl made him admire.

"The war is tense, hanging in the balance, and it is too late for the imperial court to re-issue armaments, Zhenguo Gonggu personally led five hundred elite soldiers, robbed the armaments of the Warat people, and burned everything that could not be taken away, all the fire, those armor and weapons made of copper and iron, although it is difficult to completely burn them, but it is impossible to use them again. Gu Zizhi relied on these looted armaments, broke through the three state cities, and in the spring of the following year, the armaments that were replenished after the relocation of the dynasty arrived, and he waved his army to continue north, attacking the capital of Wara, capturing the Great Khan and the three princes alive, and building an immortal achievement. ”
