Chapter 102: Code Name "Bagong Mountain"
"Sister, Taishou is asleep, do you want to call the sergeant outside in?" The maidservant tiptoed over to Gu Xidi's side and whispered.
Gu Xixi didn't speak, just glanced at her, the strings in her hands were not affected at all, and under the dexterous fluttering of her fingertips, she danced out one beautiful note after another. The maidservant carefully stepped back, took Liu Yu's cloak from the hook by the door, and gently draped it over him, who was already asleep on the wide chair.
remembered the arrogance of Liu Yu who broke into the courtyard gate and wanted to listen to a tune that day, as if he was the fan who leaned on the door and laughed. It's just that I don't know why, as soon as she saw this young man's eyes, as if she was hiding a deep worry, she immediately softened, by the way, it seemed that his money was confiscated after two days of playing.
Under a burst of inexplicable annoyance, the movements of her hands were a little deformed, and a broken sound popped up, which was extremely harsh in the slightly quiet room, and even she herself was stunned. Maybe it was because of the sudden voice, or maybe it was the sudden silence in the room, Liu Yu's eyes rolled and he woke up.
"What time is it?" As soon as he asked, he laughed to himself, raised his wrist and saw that it was too late, and if he didn't leave, it would cause a misunderstanding. I didn't know that he had been in and out here for a few days, and he had been in and out for a long time, and he had already been talked about behind his back.
"I've been bothering everyone for a long time, alas, it's just that the sound of this piano is too good, and the hour has passed unconsciously, and I hope everyone doesn't blame it." Liu Yu's words were heard in Gu Xixi's ears, which made her feel a little funny, this person didn't even know what he was playing, and he fell asleep directly after a while, could it be that he played a lullaby?
Gu Xixi still maintained that non-angry and unhappy expression in a reserved manner, watching Liu Yu talk to himself there. Liu Yu didn't get a response, rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and prepared to say goodbye and go out.
"Please stay, please settle the wine money for the past few days." Without waiting for Liu Yu to turn around, Gu Xixi's voice came from behind. When the maidservant heard her say this, her face turned white with fright, and she even glanced at her, but she ignored it.
"This, I'm sorry" Liu Yu was even more embarrassed now, his heart was sweating profusely, he didn't think that this was going to be paid for the past few days, I heard that this woman's piano song is a daughter, how to calculate this.
"But it doesn't take much, if Taishou is willing, then offset it with this thing." Before he finished speaking, Gu Xixi pointed to his hand and interrupted, Liu Yu reacted at this time, she was talking about watches.
"This thing is not very valuable, and it is used by men, if you like it, how about bringing a good piece to everyone next time?" Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he had always forgotten that this kind of watch also has women's styles, this is a big market.
"No need, the slave has to be too guarded with this piece in his hand, if he is not allowed, he is not reluctant, and the guard will leave on his own, but in the future, the slave will be rude and dare not receive it again." Gu Xixi refused without thinking about it, she had seen this thing in the pheasant slave, and she had already seen it, but today she wanted this watch but it was temporary.
Liu Yu took off his watch and put it on the table in confusion, arched his hand and went out. As soon as the door was closed, Gu Xixi's face immediately changed, and with a sly smile that had succeeded in his trick, he came over and picked up the watch, as if he could still feel a little warmth, and the maid patted her chest with her back against the door panel, not understanding where her girl's joy came from.
Riding a horse on the way back to Ximen, Liu Yu was completely sober when the wind blew from nowhere. The reason why he is like this these days is just to listen to soothing music to calm his anxious mood, since Hu Sanxing's words that day, he has returned to the state when he first arrived in this time and space, but please work hard.
At the beginning of May, the weather in Jiankang City has become very hot, and only in the early morning is a little cool. Lin Dongjia of the "Cui Wei" rouge gouache shop on the long street in front of Anning Fang got up early and went to the shop to come over, although the business dropped a lot after the war, and there were few customers who came to buy, but he was used to it for decades, and he would always stay here to get used to it.
Walking comfortably on the long street, Lin Dongjia suddenly heard the rutting sound of "squeak" shouted behind him, and then a sergeant shouted in a rough voice, "Avoid the road, avoid the road, bump into Mo Wei!" ”。 He quickly flashed to the side, and saw an ox cart whirring and dragging four large black wheels to roll over, and on the wheels was a white shining iron frame, what was this?
Before he could figure it out, one after another passed along the street, forming a long convoy, and the early risers on both sides stopped to watch the scene, pointing and pointing from time to time, exchanging their guesses with the people on the side. At the end of the long street is where the west gate of the city is located, Lin Dongjia looked at the direction of the convoy and thoughtfully touched the clear beard under his chin.
"Da Lang, the bridge has been crossed here, my mother can't see it, you tell the truth with the slave, are you going to fight?" On the other side of the Xiajiang Bridge, the woman sent the man who got up early across the bridge far away, and when she turned around, she couldn't see the figure of the old woman leaning against the door, so she looked at the man's smiling face and said.
In the past few days, the man has been extremely gentle at home, and his speech is not as rough as in the past, and there are more smiles on his face than in recent years, and all kinds of work are rushing to do, as if the woman dare not think about it. Such a beautiful scene would only appear in a dream, but the living occurrence made her a little uneasy, and after enduring this for a long time, she asked after parting.
"Hugh is talking nonsense." The man hugged the woman regardless of his body outside, but did not say a word of justification in his mouth, the woman stopped talking, forgot her shyness, and leaned tightly on the man's chest, with tears in her eyes, and she was stunned and swirling in her eyes.
"Mo Duo thinks, take care of your mother, you yourself too, if you feel that something is wrong, go and see the doctor. In the past few days, God has mercy on you, so you have to leave us a seed. The man's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it, and the woman subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, as if there was already a little life in it.
The man swallowed the last sentence of "if" in his stomach, picked up the woman's face and printed it heavily, and then let go of it, turned his head and strode forward. The woman lifted her hazy teary eyes and tried to imprint her man in her heart until the figure was no longer visible.
In Jiankang City, this kind of scene is staged in countless places, the sergeants who are separated from other families step on the morning light, from all over the city to the southwest corner of the school field, there are acquaintances on the road to walk together, as they walk with each other, as if calling friends to watch the fresh tile play.
On the other side of the river, Li Tingzhi also woke up early, grabbed the "sundial" that shone green next to the pillow and took a look, the hour was still early, but he was already sleepy. The day agreed with Jiankang City is today, and when I think of the imminent war, I can't help but feel refreshed, and I get up in short clothes.
He had always been very strict in governing the army, and the large camp outside the tent was already full of people, but it was not like a vegetable field, and the sergeants were doing things very quickly, and they seemed to be in an orderly manner, he glanced around with satisfaction, and beckoned to call the soldiers guarding the tent door.
"Pass the order, add one meal today, and order the men in the army to cook immediately, and the next two meals are also an hour in advance, do you understand?" Li Tingzhi commanded while tying the watch to his wrist, the leather buckle strap was very comfortable on the flesh, and the steel case back emitted a faint coolness.
After a bit of freshening, Li Tingzhi dressed neatly and walked to the riverside with two personal soldiers, and the river was unobstructed, only a waterfowl skimmed by from time to time. This was only a façade, all the ships were towed to the inner depression and hidden, and were closely guarded by the sergeants of the brigade.
Today is a good day, the fog on the river is almost dispelled by the early red sun, Li Tingzhi stood on a big rock, raised the thing called "clairvoyant mirror" in his hand, and slowly adjusted the focus according to the method taught by the people on the other side, and the scene in the lens slowly became clear.
"If you want to be poor, go to the next level." This poem came to his mind unconsciously, although it was not as exaggerated as the real Qianli, and the distance he might see was far beyond his expectations, and he had come here every day to watch it since he got it.
There is no special movement in the Yuanren Water Village in the shot, several small boats are cruising back and forth, the handsome flag on the tall flagpole in the village is drooping, and several building boats reveal the tall superstructure, and it seems that the sergeant with a gun can be seen standing on it.
There was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Li Tingzhi continued to observe until the sound of hooves was near, and the soldiers whispered on the side, and he only said "hmm" to indicate that he knew.
Two of the four people who came were his henchmen, Haozhou Regiment Training Envoy, Zhizhen Prefecture Miao Zaicheng and Zhihuai Anzhou Xu Wende, and the other two were commanders of Su Liuyi and Yuan Jiabu. It just happened to represent the two factions in the army, his own Huai soldiers and the Jia troops that were later collected.
"Ren Zhong, come and see." After a while, Li Tingzhi put down the binoculars in his hand, turned to look at the four people standing respectfully, ignored his two cronies, and enthusiastically called Su Liuyi's words to his side.
When Su Liuyi heard this, he stepped forward, took the telescope handed over by the marshal, and looked at it inexplicably, he had used this thing when he was in Lugang, but after he was injured, the one sent by Liu Yu was gone.
"If you are asked to fight, how do you want to fight." Li Tingzhi saw him put it down, and pointed to the direction of the Yuanren Water Village in the distance and asked.
"Gain the upper hand and attack with fire." Su Liuyi said without thinking, his side has few boats, but he is skilled, small and flexible, and if he uses it properly, he may not fall behind.
Hearing his answer, Li Tingzhi bent down and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, and let them slide down between his fingers, only to see the sand flow falling straight to the ground, he raised his eyes and looked at Su Liuyi, all of whom were questioning.
"Wait." Su Liuyi only spit out one word unequivocally, and Li Tingzhi nodded.
"Insert the banner of the commander to the riverside, find a high place, let the Yuan people see at a glance, and after breakfast, the armies will move forward in turn. Ren Zhong, the navy will be handed over to you, no matter how you fight something, just a little, you must attract the attention of the Tartars. The name of this plan is 'Bagong Mountain', and I hope that you will fight bravely to kill the enemy in order to report to the imperial court. ”
After speaking, Li Tingzhi paused, then waved his hand in the air, and the four of them immediately clasped their fists and saluted when they heard this, and said in unison, "I am willing to die."
