Chapter 242: Guarding the Border

Although there is no evidence that Hua Yue or Xiao Yu designed to kill this Princess Sining, Su Ling was on the boat of the two after all.

So the two also fell into a charge of failing to protect the princess.

Now the Wenluo State in southern Xinjiang and the neighboring country of Yue has somehow crossed the border several times to provoke, because it is familiar with the terrain and is good at trekking through mountains and rivers, taking advantage of the mountains and forests, the army stationed in Lingnan of Daqi has not won much favor for a while.

As early as half a month ago, Ling Yi arrived at the border.

Now Hua Yue is not effective in escorting, Emperor Qi demoted him to a lieutenant and sent him to Luofeng Mountain on the side of Wen Luo's crime, as for Xiao Yu was also implicated, the name Le'an is still there, but the title of the county lord of Le'an was reduced to the county lord, and the mansion in Changzhou was recovered, the fiefdom was cancelled, and everything in Suilu was changed to the regulations of the county lord.

At the time of this holy decree, there were naturally many people who gloated.

The old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, and personally wrote to comfort Xiao Yu, and told her not to worry, even if she was only the county lord, the Xiao family would not wronged her, a married daughter.

Mrs. Xiao also said in the letter that if Hua Yue turned her face because of this, let Xiao Yu not be angry, just write a letter and send it back to Changzhou, and the Xiao family will definitely be the master for her.

This kind of maintenance naturally moved Xiao Yu very much, and also replied to the old lady to reassure the old lady that Hua Yue was very good to her, and also joked that she was still a county lord now, and Hua Yue was just a school captain, what did he dare to bully himself.

Seeing this letter, Mrs. Xiao calmed down.

Since Hua Yue is going to Luofeng Mountain to guard the border. Xiao Yu also wanted to go together. Because the family lived in Luofeng Mountain when she was young, she had a special affection for it, and she hadn't seen her for a long time. She misses Huahua too.

Thinking of when she and Hua Yue were lost in Luofeng Mountain, Hua Hua was very close to him, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

It turned out that Hua Hua had already recognized Hua Yue as Brother Jun at that time.

Xiao Yu had to admit that he was really an afterthought.

Last time when she was waiting to be married in Changzhou, Hua Yue wrote to say that she had arrived at Luofeng Mountain again, saw Hua Hua, and knew that the tiger that accompanied the two of them to grow up was fine, Xiao Yu couldn't help but show a smile.

Although the parents have passed away. Fortunately, there are also Hua Yue and Hua Hua.

This time I went to Luofeng Mountain, just enough to go to Slang Village again, since the last time I picked medicine for Hua Yue. Xiao Yu has never been there.

Wenluo Kingdom is in the south of Yuedi, and the two places are separated by the endless Luofeng Mountain.

However, Wen Luo has always been far less prosperous than the South Vietnamese State, especially one or two hundred years ago, when South Vietnam was not yet attached to the Great Qi. Boon Lok is just a vassal territory in South Vietnam.

Customs on both sides. In particular, the living habits of the local slang people and the common people are the same, and they are more like one than the Qi country.

However, after South Vietnam was annexed to the Great Qi, Wen Luo quickly broke away from Yue and became a small country of its own.

The places bordering Wenluo and Yue are all mountains and forests, and most of the borders are on Luofeng Mountain, because the hinterland of Luofeng Mountain is vast, the forests are dense, and it is very steep. It is said that there are also mysterious ancient tribes that live in the rainforest, so the two sides come and go. It also bypassed the treacherous mountains and passed by the edge of Luofeng Mountain.

The same is true for Wen Luo's offense this time.

But even on the edge of Luofeng Mountain, you have to pass through a small area of miasma and mist, poisonous insects infested rainforest, compared to the army trained by the Great Qi general, Wen Luo's army is obviously more adapted to fighting in such an environment, especially during the first raid, Ling Yi suffered a lot of losses.

Fortunately, there have always been people stationed at the foot of the border mountain of Luofeng Mountain, and they have lived in harmony with the local people for many years, and they are also familiar with the nearby terrain and the environment in the mountains.

It's just that after all, it's not as good as the people who have grown up in the mountains and forests since childhood and are accompanied by poisonous insects and beasts, and now Daqi has no slang people who are good at haunting the rainforest, as long as the people who come to Wenluo hide in the rainforest, the Daqi sergeants are at a loss.

Hua Yue and Xiao Yu roughly understood the current situation on the border, and only said that the military situation was urgent, and they did not wait for Princess Sining's funeral 35 days after the funeral and set off directly, and continued to go south and return to Yuedi.

Emperor Qi also acquiesced in this.

Because Hua Yue had to go back to Niujiao Village first to solve the mechanism in the treasure house of the underground stone chamber again, and then rush to the edge of Luofeng Mountain.

It turned out that when Xiao Yu heard the word "garrison", he only thought of the western frontier, but he didn't expect that there was also a saying of garrison in southern Xinjiang, which felt very novel.

After a delay on the road, it was already a sultry early summer when I returned to Yong'an County, and people from the General's Mansion and Changle Villa were greeted at the harbor.

Hua Yue did not stop at the General's Mansion, and sent Xiao Yu and the others back to Niujiao Village first.

Originally, Xiao Yu wanted to go back to Xiao's house to live for a few days, but Hua Yue pulled her back to Changle Villa together, and now the red flowers in the villa are blooming just right, seeing this flower, she can't help but realize that she is really an afterthought, and many small details of Hua Yue on weekdays can evoke memories of childhood.

However, how could Xiao Yu think about it before?

The person he was looking for in his heart turned out to be by his side all along, but he pretended not to know him, Xiao Yu snorted and turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

Hua Yue was stunned, and Bai Shao said in front of her: "County ...... County lord, the yard of the prince should go this way. ”

But I heard Xiao Yu huff angrily: "Why should I go to his yard?" Let people prepare the car, and I will go back to Xiao's house to live. ”

Okay, why are you angry?

Hua Yue couldn't understand how many times a woman could get angry about one thing, but he had a way to make Xiao Yu dispel the idea of living in Xiao's house.

So, after Xiao Yu boarded the carriage, he was stunned to find that Hua Yue was already sitting on it leisurely, and when he saw her, he smiled and beckoned her to sit beside her.

The corners of Xiao Yu's eyes twitched a few times, and suddenly he lost his temper at all.

Although Hua Yue couldn't see it, she felt the change in her mood very keenly, she smiled and stretched out her hand to hug Xiao Yu, imprinted a kiss on her smooth forehead, and asked, "What's wrong with Fang Cai?" ”

Xiao Yu found a comfortable position in Hua Yue's arms before saying, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were Brother Jun?" ”

It turned out that it was awkward for this.

Hua Yue was patient, and immediately explained with a smile: "In fact, there are many people in the court who know the origin of my relationship with the Su clan of South Vietnam, and those people are already paying attention to my every move. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed, Hua Yue hugged her when she saw this, lowered her head to find her lips, and there was another lip entanglement.

However, Xiao Yu has become accustomed to it.

Hua Yue was very satisfied with this.

When the two arrived at Xiao's house, they first went to the field to pick corn, and then selected some good sweet potatoes and peanuts from the cellar and brought them back to the villa.

Xiao Yu still stayed at Xiao's house for one night, and Hua Yue naturally stayed together.

Xiao Yucheng couldn't sleep at night, remembering the night when he just returned to Niujiao Village a few years ago, he was a little distracted, and he didn't go back to the house until he heard the rooster crowing in the village. (To be continued......)
