Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Old Man
"Master, are you awake?" When Su Zhe saw Su Xuan wake up, the solemnity on his face dispersed a lot, and he felt a sense of relief.
Now the affairs of the town and Beiguan are all pressed on the master, the master's illness, several of them are panicked, fortunately, the master has explained some affairs before, but there is no chaos.
Su Xuan nodded, looked at the other side, Ye Jinqing's body lying on the small table moved, raised his head in a daze, and rubbed his eyes.
Ye Jinqing's eyes hadn't fully opened yet, so he leaned over to touch Su Xuan's forehead, fortunately, this burn came and went quickly, and Dai Lao's dose of medicine also worked.
"Well, if you don't burn, you will really make a mess for others, when the fever is not good, I just picked this time." Ye Jinqing withdrew her little hand and pretended to complain.
Su Zhe couldn't help but laugh after listening to it, and he didn't know who it was who ran out in a panic after discovering that his master had a fever, and Dai Lao was innocently questioned about his medical skills.
"It's causing trouble for Jin'er." Su Xuan glanced at Ye Jinqing deeply, turned his head to look at Su Zhe and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's time to go back to the master."
"Hey, it's almost time to come, Su Zhe, you go and greet you." Su Xuan thought for a moment and ordered.
"Yes, master." After Su Zhen received the order, he withdrew from the bed.
Although he only said a few words, Xu was because he had burned it before, Su Xuan's throat was uncomfortable, and just when he wanted to pour himself a cup of hot tea to moisten his throat, Ye Jinqing had already filled a cup for him first.
Ye Jinqing looked at Su Xuan's cup of hot tea, and then asked his doubts: "Who is Su Zhen going to welcome?" ”
Looking at the little man in front of him, he knew how to take care of people better than before, and knew that he would not ask questions until he drank hot tea.
"It's just an old man." Su Xuan said lightly.
"The deceased?" At this time, I am afraid that there are more than just old people who can come to Zhenbeiguan.
"The old man is still on the way here, why don't Jin'er accompany me to play a game of chess to pass the long night." Su Xuan gently moved the teapot on the small table aside and asked.
"Playing chess, even if you're sick, I won't let you."
Ye Jinqing looked at Su Xuan's thick coat, and his jade-like face had a little more residual sickness, like a sick and weak nobleman, so he couldn't help but joke.
"Nature." Su Xuan hooked his lips and smiled, but he was arrogant.
Ye Jinqing took out a wooden chessboard and two wooden chess boxes from the low cabinet placed at the end of the warm kang.
Ye Jinqing opened the two chess boxes and took a look at them, and naturally pushed one of the chess pieces to Su Xuan. Su Xuan opened the chess box and saw that there were sunspots in the chess box.
Ye Jinqing took the white chess first, and the opening game was to take Tianyuan directly.
Su Xuan was shocked, although he had never played chess with Ye Jinqing, but he had played a few words with Ye Qingyuan, and originally thought that Jin'er's chess path was probably also inherited from Ye Qingyuan's way, but now it seems to be very different.
Most of Ye Qingyuan's chess games are based on the corners and every step, but he didn't expect Ye Jinqing to do the opposite this time.
"I thought that your chess path and Master Ye were in the same lineage, but I didn't expect it to be very different." Su Xuan said with a son.
"It's the same lineage, but today, I want to put it to death and live again." Ye Jinqing also left a son and replied.
"Haha, what a death and then life."
Su Xuan finally showed his first smile since today. Their battle today is not to put themselves to the death, and then fight for that glimmer of life.
It was unexpectedly cold outside, and the long silhouettes of the two people in the room fell on the window, and in the silence, only the sound of you coming and going. There is a feeling of idle knocking on chess pieces and falling lanterns.
After a game of chess, Ye Jinqing held her cheeks and watched Su Xuan count the chess pieces nervously.
"Yes, but I only lost three sons. How about another round? Su Xuan looked at the remaining three black chess pieces on the chessboard and said.
"The third son also lost."
Ye Jinqing was a little excited, took a small candle scissors, and cut off the long end of the wick, "Why can't you wait for someone yet?" ”
The game between himself and Su Xuan is very slow, but the person Su Xuan is waiting for has not yet appeared, it is almost past the hour, and as soon as the day dawns, the Di clan is bound to make a comeback after a night of rest.
The strategy that Su Xuan used before is indispensable, and when the time comes, how to deal with the Di clan who are eyeing the Di clan when the wounded soldiers and remnants of Beiguan are now in the middle of the town.
Thinking of this, Ye Jinqing was distraught and raised the candle scissors to the wick and cut them again, poof, the whole candle went out in response, Ye Jinqing raised his hand embarrassedly, raised the corner of his eye, and secretly glanced at Su Xuan.
Fortunately, there were several other candlesticks lit in this room, and Su Xuan still unhurriedly sorted out the chess pieces on the chessboard and put them back into the chess box.
Ye Jinqing secretly put down the candle scissors in his hand, and just wanted to say something, Su Zhen's voice suddenly sounded at the door like a ghost.
"Master, the guest has arrived."
It's just Su Zhen, Ye Jinqing knows his skills, and it is natural to walk without a sound, but Su Xuan's old man actually came, but he didn't let people hear half a sound, which seemed unusual.
When Su Xuan heard this, he changed his laziness when playing chess, his eyes lit up, and he went straight to the kang despite his injury.
Ye Jinqing watched Su Xuan's actions, and also hurriedly got off the warm kang, and followed behind Su Xuan respectfully. Su Xuan's steps were very large, which was very different from the pace on weekdays, and Ye Jinqing hurried up with a few small steps.
Squeak, as Su Xuan opened the door vigorously, Ye Jinqing only felt that there were two people standing against the light.
One must have been broken, and the other, Ye Jinqing raised his eyes and looked at it, only feeling the chill on that person's body, I don't know if it was the chill from the armor he was wearing or the cold air around that person.
"Wen Tao." Su Xuan said loudly after seeing the person standing at the door. "Come in first."
Su Xuan turned to one side, and Ye Jinqing saw a tall figure step in. The man's riding boots and trouser legs were still stained with mud, and his shiny armor was also gray, and the whole person was dusty.
"Ah Xuan." The man followed the light into the room, and his face became visible.
When he saw the face of the person who came, Ye Jinqing was stunned for a while, his mouth opened slightly, and his eyes stayed on the person's face.
The man was stared at by Ye Jinqing like this, and naturally turned his gaze around, "What a beautiful boy, Brother Su, you won't really be the same as the rumors." ”
After speaking, the man smiled narrowly and winked at Su Xuan. This smile, the two dimples on the face of the person who came were even more obvious, and the baby face lined with a little more color.
Seeing that the man was standing in the dark, the chill on his body was pressing, Ye Jinqing thought that the person who came in would be an imposing general, but he would never have thought that it would be such a face anyway.
It's not that this kind of face is unbearable, on the contrary, this person's face makes the woman feel good at first sight. But such a baby face with a suit of armor made Ye Jinqing feel an indescribable weirdness.
"Wen Tao, how many people did you bring over this time?" Su Xuan asked straight to the point.
Yue Wentao smiled, and the baby's face was also full of seriousness, "The old general asked me and Yanzhi to bring 30,000 soldiers to Zhenbei Pass. Hmph, I'd like to see how long those Di people can stay in the realm of my Great Yuan Kingdom. ”
30,000 generals, Su Xuan calculated, General Wang Lao can allocate so many troops to support Zhenbei Pass, it seems that the situation in the west and south is already under control.
Su Xuan walked to the side of the warm kang, took the empty teacup, refilled the hot tea, and turned to Yue Wentao and said, "Wentao, hard work, I have to accept your love this time." ”
Yue Wentao took the hot tea with a smile, "Ah Xuan's favor is not good, it seems that I came cheekily this time, which is the right one."
"Why did Yanzhi come with him this time? Where is he? Su Xuan asked seemingly casually.
