Chapter 113: Forced to Grow

"You little bunnies, are you going to turn the sky upside down?"

Mo Xuan dragged the brothers on the cottage away with a headache, "You guys, in front of the master, dare to make such a fuss!?" ”

Qiao Mingyue smiled, "It's okay, they are young, they will be familiar with each other for a while." ”

"Let the master laugh."

Qiao Mingyue said again: "This master, I really can't afford it, since the soldiers on the Wen family's side call me Sister Mingyue, the same is true for the three masters." ”

"Huh? It's not in order, right? ”

"What's wrong with this?" Qiao Mingyue blushed, "Didn't you already promise me before, you want to listen to me?" ”

"Thank you, Miss Mingyue."

Everyone sat down again, the sky was even more gloomy, and in a blink of an eye it was already the second half of the night.

Yun Zhao sat on a high stone, holding a bamboo leaf in his hand and blowing it.

The melodious sound of blowing, Qiao Mingyue listened to the tune familiarly, and it seemed to be a very famous nursery rhyme in ancient times.

In fact, it is just a few simple scales strung together, the most ordinary minor key.

As he blew, someone began to sing along to the tune:

"The wind is also strange, the rain is also strange, leaning on the door, failing to return, my mother wants to cry, and my mother wants to think of my hometown."

A song has only these few words, but someone sings along several times.

Crying sounded from time to time in the crowd, Qiao Mingyue turned her head and saw Hua Lian crying too.

He looked at Qiao Mingyue with tears in his eyes, crying breathlessly, "Sister, when will this battle end?" I, I miss my mother. ”

He was already yellow and thin, and his body shook even more when he cried, he turned the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said with a sob: "Sister, my father and mother died on the battlefield, you say, how good it would be if there was no war, before we met you, our Wen family army did not wait for the rescue in the end, these days, we can't even eat enough, and we can't dress warmly......

"Flower mercy!" The crowd didn't know who shouted to stop Hua Lian's words.

The atmosphere became tense for a while, and everyone woke up like a dream, and they said these words in front of Qiao Mingyue, which was really a bit rebellious.

No matter what, they are ministers, Qiao Mingyue is a member of the royal family, and when they say this, it is a rebellion to say it.

No one around dared to say a word, Qiao Mingyue heard everyone's rapid breathing, and everyone seemed to be waiting for her to say something.

But by this time, she really didn't know what to say.

Things have come to this point, the three princes rebelled, and the Huns were put in to burn, kill and loot, these are all things that she can't control alone.

She couldn't give everyone a false promise, she really thought about it for a long time, and then said softly: "If the war subsides, what do you all want to do?" ”

Qiao Mingyue looked at many people with a look of disappointment, she felt very sorry, but she was a little powerless.

Some people said that they wanted to go back to their hometown to inherit the family business and marry a daughter-in-law to give birth to their own children, but they were ridiculed by everyone for a long time.

There are also people who want to visit the mountains and rivers and walk around.

In short, there are all kinds of strangeness, and there are people who say anything.

In the end, Hua Lian slowed down, and then said sullenly: "I want to go back to Yanzhou, and I want to guard Wen Shuai's tomb." ”

Everyone quieted down all of a sudden, many people already had red eyes, Wen Shuai was the best for them, but unfortunately Wen Shuai couldn't survive.

Yun Zhao and Qiao Mingyue, who knew the truth, glanced at each other, and neither of them said anything.

When it was almost dawn, Qiao Mingyue was really a little unable to hold on, and returned to the room where she lived under the escort of Yun Zhao.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Qi Jingyun staring at the door with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, and after seeing her come back, her mouth was deflated, and she said aggrievedly: "Lady, why did you come back, I miss you so much." ”

"Didn't I tell you before I left that I would sleep when you were sleepy?"

"I'm going to sleep with my mother."

"You're injured and burned out of your brain now?"

A hint of disappointment appeared on Qi Jingyun's face, "The lady is eccentric, drinking and chatting with them, but she is unwilling to sleep with me!" ”

He turned his face away, a delicate little face, a beautiful face that couldn't be stopped even if he was embarrassed.

Qiao Mingyue couldn't help but reach out and pinch Qi Jingyun's bulging cheeks, and then said softly: "I'll tease you, accompany you." ”

Qi Jingyun's child's temper is like the rain in June, it comes and goes faster, and he is coaxed in an instant.

Qiao Mingyue was lying on her back on the bed, and Qi Jingyun beside her turned around and whispered, "Lady, are you angry?" ”

She asked, "Why should I be angry?" ”

Qi Jingyun hurriedly assured her, "Don't worry, lady, if you don't want to, I will definitely not force you." ”

Qiao Mingyue, who had been thinking about something else, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and then explained to him that she wasn't thinking about it.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Qi Jingyun said softly: "Actually, they are also very pitiful. ”

Qiao Mingyue turned her head to look at Qi Jingyun, it was rare to see him have such a sad time.

Qi Jingyun said slowly: "On the way to save you with the Wen family, Vice General Yun once talked to me, in the battle of Yanzhou City, at least half of the Wen family's army died, these soldiers who defended the country and sacrificed their lives for the Zhou Dynasty will die at the hands of their own people in the end," his voice was full of unwillingness, "I sometimes think that compared with these soldiers, I, the King of Jin, am really incompetent, they did their best for the Zhou Dynasty, but I can't even guarantee their safety." ”

Qiao Mingyue looked at Qi Jingyun with some distress, if this major event hadn't happened, Qi Jingyun might have been an idle prince who didn't know anything about the world for the rest of his life, and after the prince ascended the throne, he would be released and live this life in style.

But now, the hatred of the country and the family is piling up on him, and his parents and brothers are not by his side, forcing him to grow up rapidly.

Qiao Mingyue thought for a long time, what should she say in order to be appropriate and not appear conflicting, "The general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud was returned, in their hearts, it is their belief to protect the Zhou Dynasty and resist the invaders, if they just want to seek refuge, then they will not be active near Yanzhou City all the time." ”

Qi Jingyun turned over with some annoyance, and also lay on his back on the bed, "Lady, they also have parents and brothers, and some even have wives and children, you said that those who died, dead are dead, even if the war stops, no one will remember the dedication they have made, and no one will take care of those orphans and widows who have lost their sons, fathers, and husbands, what is the point of them fighting to the death?" ”
