Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Bell Bracelet
Wuguo sighed, and finally took the initiative to find the eldest uncle, and saw him sitting alone in front of the fire, and the people not far away were hugging to rest.
She leaned over, took a piece of pastry from her bosom, broke it in half, and handed it over.
The eldest uncle looked down at the red bean paste pastry and did not frown.
She said: "This is what I ordered to rush before I left Fu County, and I wasted a lot of effort in the middle of the night." ”
As he spoke, he shook the cloth bag in his hand: "I'll take some of it down and divide it with you." ”
The eldest uncle quickly caught the information in his words and looked back at her: "What do you mean by taking some?" ”
"Ah, even my carriage is still piled up a lot. My food has been distributed to those people, and you don't want to rob me of this last ration. ”
As he spoke, he put the cloth bag back in his arms, looking like he was afraid of being robbed.
Uncle Chang frowned, it was hard to imagine that this was the girl who asked him to help her "relieve her emotions" during the day.
Chang Bo paused, retracted his gaze, and fiddled with the firewood in front of him in his hand, but he was thinking of something else.
Qing Han's eyes looked ahead, and he didn't understand his current mood. There was a confusion in his eyes that he had never felt before.
In the final analysis, he is just a teenager who has not yet reached the weak crown, but he was born in a bad environment and forced himself to grow up.
Wuguo withdrew the pastry in his hand and ate it one by one, as if he remembered something for a long time, and said vaguely: "Tomorrow you take some people to the side." ”
The eldest uncle raised his head in front of the fire and looked at Wuguo, wrinkling his eyebrows.
Wuguo ignored him and continued: "When I was counting the number of people just now, I found that there was one less guard arranged by the county order, so I was afraid that I would go back to report the news." Fuzhou is close to the border, and the state order has 5,000 guards, I am afraid that now the city gate is blocked, and the state orders them to sit on the ground and support the army. ”
The eldest uncle retracted his gaze, looked at the fire in front of him, and hooked his lips: "You're not too stupid. ”
Wuguo rolled her eyes, "Your Highness" shouted so respectfully during the day, and despised her so openly at night, why didn't she usually find out that her little proton was so two-faced and three-faced.
He raised his hand and handed over the warrant in his arms, saying, "This was given by my father before I left the capital." He said that he was afraid that there would be a riot in Chidai. ”
On the warrant, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing are written with the word "imperial gift", which is Ying Nan's troop transfer document.
Uncle Chang raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the soldiers on the border to the north snow?" ”
After all, the north side of Yingnan is Beixue except for a few small tribes.
Wuguo ignored him and turned to leave, only to speak when he was about to leave: "If you really want to leave, there is no need for me to remember it like this." ”
As he spoke, he left without looking back.
All the way back to the carriage, Wuguo was stunned for a long time, and when she looked up, she saw that the soldiers who reported to her during the day were sneaking there.
She squinted and stepped forward silently, only to hear the man muttering, "Why hasn't the princess come yet?"
Thinking of this, Wuguo couldn't help but bow his head and sneer.
The soldier reacted, jumped back half a step to look at her, and the half-grown young man instantly blushed with a "bang".
Wuguo leaned forward and poked his cheek: "Why, the heroes of the people in the day are shy now." ”
The soldier chuckled in his heart, then looked up at her with a resentful look: "There are no subordinates." ”
The soldier in front of him was well-born, with healthy wheat-colored skin and sword eyebrows, just scratching his head to avoid her sight was very funny.
She lowered her head and smiled, and couldn't help but tease: "You know, Empress Yingnan has always been able to open a harem, how can she have the intention to join?" ”
"My subordinates don't."
The voice bit his tongue, with a little grievance, like a bullied child, looking at this scene, Wuguo couldn't help but think of his younger brother in his previous life, and couldn't help but slow down his voice: "Did you report what happened by the carriage just now?" ”
Speaking of this, the soldier knelt down, clenched his fists and said: "The subordinate was originally a member of the Zhou family in Fu County, and the Zhou family was a big tree, but because he did not cooperate with the state order to bribe, he was found to be guilty." The subordinates also asked His Highness to investigate thoroughly and let that person receive the punishment he deserves! ”
Wuguo squinted his eyes and didn't speak, just looked at him.
The soldier just knelt there, motionless.
The family made a mistake, she naturally had no way to deal with them, at most, she was forced to contain those people by the elite soldiers with the side plugs, and beat them well.
At most, the county order is guilty.
But the soldier surnamed Zhou in front of him clearly pointed to a person in his words - the state order.
Just as he was hesitating how to answer, the eldest uncle walked over.
Dressed in a white robe, he looked good under the moonlight.
"You come with me tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The soldier looked at Wuguo, and then at the elder, and knowing that the princess had always listened to the man, he got up and saluted her, and left to follow.
After walking less than two steps, the eldest uncle stopped.
looked at the people behind him who followed and said, "If you want to take revenge, you can naturally go by yourself, why do you want to pull the princess into the water." ”
The soldier raised his eyes and quickly glanced at him, then retracted his gaze, only to hear the eldest uncle continue: "The Zhou family was convicted of colluding with foreigners, and the whole family has no life except for the youngest son of the Zhou family who has just entered the imperial examination, so you must be the youngest son Zhou Zhi." ”
"Subordinates, subordinates can't do anything."
"No way?" The eldest uncle turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of mockery: "Because I heard in the capital how Emperor Ying Nan doted on this princess, I think she would have no problem even if she offended the family?" ”
"The state order is backed by the Qi family, and it has been rampant and domineering in the north all these years, do you think that an unarmed woman can be safe and sound on someone else's territory?" The eldest uncle sneered: "A dignified man needs a woman to take revenge." ”
Zhou Zhi lowered his head and stopped talking.
The eldest uncle looked at him and said for a long time: "Tomorrow I will arrange you to be in the border army, how can you get ahead in the Qi family's army, I think you know better than me." ”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Hiding not far away, Wuguo looked at him and laughed as he left his back.
Turn around, step on the fallen leaves, and make a crisp sound. With each stroke, the corners of the mouth rose a bit, and by the end, the whole face was like a bright sun.
In fact, in the final analysis, her little proton is still reluctant to hurt her.
Thinking like this, he raised his head and shook the bell on his wrist at the moonlight, listening to the sound ringing in the moonlight, which was so unpleasant.
This was found by Wuguo in the carriage when they left Fu County.
The workmanship was not very good, just inferior silver, but she heard that the day before departure, the eldest uncle had been wandering the street for a long time.
Knife mouth, tofu heart.
She smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were like a galaxy floating, shining for thousands of years.
