The guard said: "It's better to have a morning meal here, out of the poplar pass, there is a battlefield, and the confrontation between the two armies is very fierce." The powerful messenger sent under the command came over to report and asked Miss Jiang to wait here. ”

Any kind of accident can happen when the two armies clash with each other, and since this defender is so settled, there is a reason for it.

Su Yan clenched her fists and replied: "Don't bother the general, I want to rush to the camp on the border of Cold Moon Pass as soon as possible, and ask the general to send a few people to lead the way for me." ”

The guard general thought for a moment and said, "At the end of the day, I will order a few martial arts masters, accompany Miss Jiang out of the city later, and invite Miss Jiang to the yamen for some refreshments." ”

"It's hard work!"

The two sisters followed the guards into the yamen of Huyang City, which was very dilapidated, and the wall had collapsed in several places. Although the population of the city is small, it is peaceful, otherwise it would not have been unrepaired.

Hearing a clanging sound, I looked for prestige, and saw two old men building a wall, one with his back to the building, and the other with a gray beard.

"There is really no way, since the war with Xiqi State the year before last, the people within a radius of 300 miles have run to the same level, ten rooms and nine empty, and there are no people who want to repair the city wall."

Perhaps the people who repaired the city wall were all soldiers of the border city, repairing bricks and handfuls of mud.

Su Yan thought of her second brother's family and sixth brother, who were far away in the border city, and they didn't know how much they had suffered. Especially the second brother, two sons, a lady, and the second sister-in-law, although they are women in the rivers and lakes, they are also young ladies when they are in the boudoir.

"The general has worked hard!"

Entering the front yard of the yamen, standing at the courtyard gate, it can be seen that the house is poorly furnished, only a few half-new tables, a few rectangular stools, and the yacha carried a teapot and poured two cups of tea.

The guard smiled honestly and said enthusiastically: "Please feel free Miss Jiang!" "Ordered the yamen to take their horses to feed.

Su Yan said: "General Lao is tired of giving this horse some good material." The road is in a hurry, and thanks to it. ”

Sitting in the flower hall, So-yeon inexplicably thought of many poems describing war scenes.

"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Humadu Yin Mountain. ”

"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people have come back to fight in ancient times."

Liu Feifei ate a cup of tea, sleepy and tired, and fell asleep on the table.

Since she was separated from King Wu and others, Su Yan's head was dizzy, but she supported it hard. It looks like I'm going to fall asleep at any moment. Squinting his eyes, he looked leisurely and complacent, but he was actually dozing off.

The guards will order the escort. When I stepped into the flower hall, I saw a person sleeping soundly on the table, and a person tilting his head and shaking his head.

Yacha said in a low voice: "General......"

"They're too tired, let them sleep more."

The voice was very low, but it still woke up So-yeon. She opened her eyes: "It's all right?" Okay, let's go. When I got to the border camp, I slept again. Su Yan woke up Liu Feifei, tired to tired, tired should be tired, she said softly: "Senior sister, we have to go." You hold on a little longer, and stay in the camp. You can get a good night's sleep again. ”

The guard general personally led more than a dozen warriors, escorted Su Yan and Liu Feifei, and rushed to Cold Moon Pass. From here to the next city, it is said that it is not far away, and it is said that it is not close.

"Senior sister, I'm so sleepy, you let me sleep a little longer."

It seems that he can't hurry. While riding on horseback, Liu Feifei almost fell down several times. So Yeon lowered her eyes. Looking at the woman sleeping sweetly on the table, Su Yan twisted her eyebrows slightly, "General, is there a guest room here?" Let her get some sleep first! ”

"Yes."

The body is the most important thing, and she can't fight so hard.

War and battlefield have never had anything to do with women, but now they are coming from thousands of miles away to help, and without health, everything is empty.

Su Yan helped Liu Feifei through the front yard to a side room in the backyard, which was just as simple, there was a wooden couch with a gray bed tent, and the bed was stacked with futons, and Liu Feifei shouted happily, "Bed!" Finally able to sleep in bed! "I tilted my body and stopped moving.

She smiled, leaned over and took off Liu Feifei's embroidered shoes, and let her sleep on the couch with her clothes.

The guard stood outside the house, turned his body to the side, and Su Yan said, "May I ask how many hours the general has left to come to the camp from here?" ”

"Hurry up and whip up the whip in four hours, if it is Miss Jiang's sweat and blood, it will take two hours at most."

She thought for a moment: "I'm sorry to trouble the general, and when we wake up, we will rush to the camp on the border." ”

The guard clenched his fists, withdrew from the yamen, and sent a capable warrior to Lengyue Pass to deliver news.

Su Yan was really tired, she slept on the bed, and she didn't have a dream, so she woke up like this.

The morning is still full of colorful clouds, waking up is already twilight, it is drizzling outside, the spring March is the time of the rain, Yixi smelled a peach blossom fragrance, she took a big breath.

I was a little hungry, so I got up and sat up, and I saw pastries on the table, a bit like steamed buns, but not like them, with yellow dough mixed with green vegetable leaves.

So-yeon grabbed a pastry and took a bite of it, it was rough and unpalatable, with some bitterness.

While eating, a middle-aged woman with a flower handkerchief and a gray shirt pushed open the door and said, "The county lord is awake?" ”

She answered. The woman carried the pot of hot water and re-brewed the tea, and So-yeon saw that in her teacup was a tangerine peel, each piece pinched to the size of a fingernail, and there were a few three pieces.

"In the border area, there is no good tea, these are the most precious tangerine peel tea for the people in our border city, there is no tangerine peel in the border city, every year there are some merchants who go to the Western Regions, they will bring some oranges from the south, pick up the orange peel they lost, wash and dry, make tangerine peel tea, and refresh, and dispel fire, and a fragrance, the most good tea......

This kind of thing is not eaten even by the common people in the imperial city, but it is delicious in the imperial city.

In her previous life, she was also wronged and suffered, and even in a famine year, she also ate the Guanyin soil behind the nunnery, which was dug down from the mountain with yellow and delicate soil, dug up wild vegetables, chopped the vegetables, and in the soil, kneaded into the shape of a scone, and filled her stomach with hunger.

Compared to that, the current ones can at least be called tea and food.

Su Yan took a sip with a complicated mood and said with a smile: "Auntie is a master of tea making, and the bland tangerine peel is really delicious when you make it like this." ”

The woman's simple and dark face suddenly burst into a smile, and she was a little embarrassed: "My family is the master and chief housekeeper of the yamen, and there are a bunch of big men in this yamen, and it is inconvenient to take care of the two nobles, so I came." ”

Su Yan drank tea, ate bitter herbs, and chewed slowly. "After I entered the city, I didn't see a few people, and all the people fled?"

"Alas, last spring, the Xiqi people invaded this place, and the city of Poplar, which had lived and worked in peace and contentment for nearly a hundred years, turned into a hell on earth, and they killed people when they saw them, and humiliated them when they saw young and beautiful women, and many people lost their lives on the day the city was broken. Those who survive have to escape fast enough to save their lives.

Later, Marshal Yang recaptured the city with the help of the gods outside the world, but the people who fled refused to come back and fled to distant places. Most of those who remain in the city now have family members serving in the army, just like my family, because they are the master and chief steward of the Yamen, and their two sons are also in the army, so they have to stay. ”

The woman's dark cheeks were marked by two balls of red, which were the marks of the wind and sand, a pair of eyes were slightly tired, and a pair of hands were as dry as the bark of a poplar forest, falling on Su Yan's eyes, there was an indescribable kindness.

She smiled gently: "The general and the old man of my family have told me that you two are nobles in the border city, and let me wait for a good life." Isn't Miss used to eating these? If you don't get used to it, I'll prepare another for you. The general wanted to buy a chicken, so he sent people to look for it in the city for a long time, but he couldn't buy one. ”

"It's already abundant." So Yeon replied with the woman's brighter smile.

The woman smiled and said, "Miss is so good-looking, I have lived a long time, and I have never seen such a fair and beautiful girl as Miss." It is said that Miss Zhanyan of the mighty general's family is the first beauty in the border city, but she is not as delicate as Miss Jiaoyan......"

For her second brother Jiang Shukun, all of Su Yan's memories are known from her parents and brothers, she doesn't even know what her second brother looks like, and what kind of facial features her second sister-in-law is from the rivers and lakes, everything she knows is heard.

In her previous life, the first and last time she was deeply impressed by her second brother was on the day of the beheading of the vegetable market. At that time, all the men of the Jiang family were dressed in white, with a big "prisoner" written on them, their scalps were messy, their expressions were haggard, and their faces were full of dirt, mud, or scars in prison, and their faces could not be seen at all.

She only remembered that she and her second brother inherited their father's wise and divine eyes, the same black and bright, but that day, the second brother's eyes were full of grievances and unwillingness.

Su Yan smiled, "I'm causing you trouble." We will eat whatever you eat. ”

Liu Feifei had already woken up at this moment, rubbed his eyes, and said with confusion: "Senior sister, have we arrived at the camp on the border?" ”

Su Yan laughed with a "flutter", "You girl, I'm afraid you're sleepy." Seeing that you were so sleepy before, I decided to let you sleep first, and it was a miracle that we could reach the border city within seven days, and this time thanks to the king of Wu who lent us a horse. ”

The woman was amazed, "What? It only took seven days for the two young ladies to travel from the imperial city to the border city? ”

It is said that the 800 miles sent from the border city to the imperial city were sent to the imperial city overnight, and it took five days and six nights to pass to the imperial city day and night, but they only took seven days. Seeing the tired appearance of the two young ladies, the woman asked, "Could it be that you didn't sleep on the road?" ”

Liu Feifei said: "Sometimes I only sleep for two hours a day, but this time I haven't slept for two nights and one day, and I'm really sleepy." This time, my sister asked me to get a good night's sleep, and I was happy in my heart. ”
