The bustling city has not been affected by the tense atmosphere outside the city and the Yi people, and it can be seen from here that Rong Jingcheng has indeed spent a lot of effort in guarding southern Jiangsu in recent years. Pedestrians come and go, which is somewhat similar to the bustling Pearl Street in the imperial capital.

As he walked, Du Yunjin looked around curiously at the items that the vendors were holding. Xiao Shaokang followed behind her, as if he had returned to the night of the Shangyuan Festival, and she left him with such a back, he silently followed behind her, looking at her smiling like a flower.

After shaking it like this, Du Yunjin gained a lot of all kinds in his hands, and even Xiao Shaokang helped carry some of them. Where is this Du Yunjin like Du Xianxian, who was dressed in armor a few days ago, he is clearly a little girl younger than him, sneaking out and looking at everything is novel.

"Here you go."

She suddenly turned around and handed the pastry she was eating in her hand to Xiao Shaokang.

"What?"

"Look, you've worked hard, aren't you, this snack is for you." She put the pastry directly to Xiao Shaokang's lips, smiling openly, but teaching Xiao Shaokang to be unsettled. If time could stand still, he would rather stay in this moment forever, on her smile at him.

"What's the matter, don't you eat?" Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Du Yunjin took the pastry back and stuffed it into his mouth. "But if you don't eat it, when you go back to Beijing in the future, don't complain to your eldest brother that I abused you."

Eldest brother.

The bitterness in Xiao Shaokang's heart quietly surged up again, and even the smile with the corners of his mouth was dyed with a faint helplessness.

"It's really stingy, well, it's for you." His loneliness did not enter Du Yunjin's eyes, and Du Yunjin's eyes always only contained Xiao Yu alone, as if there was only one person in the world who deserved her attention.

Xiao Shaokang had the pastry bag stuffed by her in his arms, and quietly took back all the true feelings on his face that were instantly revealed, and put on a harmless appearance again.

A handsome man like him is rarely seen in a remote place like Long Island County. Because of the weather, both men and women in Long Island County are born dark, where is there a fair-skinned and elegant man like Xiao Shaokang. His flick of his sleeves and his stops all make people's hearts turn.

But he still can't get into Du Yunjin's eyes, and her attention is still in the hands of those hawkers.

Walking again, she came to the end of this street, and when she came out, she had carefully inquired about Rong Jingcheng's personal soldiers, and the entire Long Island County was the most prosperous on this street, and countless vendors gathered here to sell all kinds of goods.

If you can't find it here, it's really hopeless.

A hint of melancholy stained her brow, and she suddenly stopped, standing at the end of the street looking at the closed gates.

She sighed heavily, it seemed that the idea was too idealistic, maybe there really was no such thing in the world. But if she really didn't have it, what could she find instead?

"You...... What are you looking for? ”

Xiao Shaokang, who realized it later, finally noticed that something was wrong, he was very aware of Du Yunjin's temperament, along the way, all she thought about all the time was how to destroy people, and how could she rush out to go shopping after arriving?

"Maybe there's really no such thing as a thing." Du Yunjin turned around, looked at the still bustling street, and let out a long sigh again.

"Ninth brother, do you remember that there was a paragraph in "Shu Zhi" about Zhuge Kongming's seven captures of Meng Shu, and he burned the rattan armor soldiers."

Xiao Shaokang nodded when he heard this, as a child of the royal family, these history books are a must-read. This section of "Shu Zhi" has always been valued by the emperor, and it is rumored that Zhuge Kongming's early death caused the loss of Yangshou due to the burning of rattan armor soldiers.

"But what does that have to do with what you're looking for?"

Du Yunjin smiled slightly, his gaze crossed the tall city gate of Changdao County, and looked at the wider place. "Of course it matters, this is what I'm looking for."

"Fuji armor!" When Xiao Shaokang heard this, his eyes lit up. This rattan armor is made of wild rattan born in the wild land of the southwest as raw materials, and soaked in tung oil for 7749 days, the rattan armor after making is light and strong, the arrow can not penetrate, the knife and gun can not cut and pierce, and the most important thing is that it does not sink in water. Rattan armor is naturally more suitable for fighting on the water than armor, and it is more suitable for the battle of extermination.

"Wild vines grow in the southwest, but I see that the flowers and trees that grow here are mostly similar to those in the southwest, so I thought that wild vines can also be found here, which can be made into rattan armor. But it seems like I'm thinking too much. ”

Du Yunjin bowed his head in frustration, and the wild vine was tenacious and often widely used by ordinary people. But she searched all the bazaars, but she never saw a single person using it.

"Just because it wasn't found in the bazaar doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Xiao Shaokang also looked at the city gate of Changdao County, "Why don't you go to the nearby mountains and look carefully?" ”

This can be regarded as a way out of the way, now that the situation is absolutely impossible for her to find rattan armor from the southwest, and Xiao Yuli is responsible for the supply of grain and grass, she doesn't believe that Xiao Yuli will give her any benefits.

As soon as she thinks of Xiao Yuli, she will think of Xiao Yu who is still trapped in the imperial capital in a trance. I wonder what happened to him? After careful calculation, he has not reported her a letter of safety for more than ten days. Without seeing his letter of peace, her heart couldn't calm down, and she only thought that she could annihilate the Yi people early, return to the imperial capital early, return to that person's side, guard him, and confirm his safety with her own eyes.

"Sister-in-law?" Xiao Shaokang saw Du Yunjin's expression in a trance, and he also guessed that what she was thinking was nothing more than Xiao Yu. He swallowed the bitterness in his heart, propped up a faint smile and said, "I just asked others, and said that there is a mountain with a lot of grass and vines growing twenty miles outside the city, but we want to go and see it?" ”

I don't know when the sky has sunk in the west, Du Yunjin was woken up by him from his contemplation, and said softly: "It's late today, I'll go back early tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Shaokang just thought that she was relieved to say it, but she didn't expect that early the next morning, Du Yunjin really came to knock on his door with a small bamboo basket on his back.

The little chamberlain who served him put on a robe for him, and only after cleaning up did he open the door and invite Du Yunjin in.

"Mother, where are you going?"

The little chamberlain looked at her with a low brow, and his eyes turned around her a few times without figuring out what she was going to do. She smiled at Xiao Shaokang and ignored the little waiter's question. The little chamberlain pursed his lips, and wanted to do something, but he was glared at by Xiao Shaokang fiercely, and then he really shut up.

In the huge county guard's mansion, no one seems to pay attention to Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang. Rong Jingcheng went to the colonel field with the generals early in the morning to train the troops, and the rest of the soldiers had no right to restrict the actions of Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang. The two of them moved freely, more freely than they had been in the imperial capital.

When the little chamberlain followed him to the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by the guard's own soldiers, on the grounds that he was a chamberlain who should stay in the mansion and serve the master. Unable to follow the two people, the little chamberlain had to stare fiercely at their departing backs, cursing the two of them in his belly.
