Chapter 24: A Sleepless Night
Probably because he has watched too many power struggles, Tuoba Tong really needs a pure land in his heart.
Xi Feng returned to the general's mansion in embarrassment, Chang'an, the kid was already feeling less, and he thought that the general must not have slept at this hour and wanted to send a bowl of tonic to the general, but he didn't expect to run into Xi Feng changing wet clothes in the room.
"Why don't you knock?" Xi Feng was just blocked in the room.
"You, you're ......."
"Shut up." If this person is unlucky, he can catch bird poop when he goes out.
"Get out, I'll tell you to come in again."
As if he had received some blow, Chang'an just turned around and did not leave Xi Feng's dormitory.
"Don't say it, you know?" Xi Feng felt that Chang'an would not say it, but he still had to remind him.
"I, I, I didn't expect you to be a woman, and I didn't mean not to knock on the door, I just wanted to see if you slept and sent you supplements."
Chang'an felt extremely embarrassed at this time, because Xi Feng had bathed himself before, so ,,, thought of this, Chang'an's face turned red.
"You want to go to Xiyue with me." The white fungus in the kitchen is still good.
Xi Feng didn't know much about Wu Yong, but she knew that as a military officer, especially the most outstanding military in the Northern Wei Dynasty, she would definitely not give her life for no reason.
So he will definitely make a little accident for himself before departure, so that he can't move, whether it's with Chang'an, this kid is not only clever and life-saving skills are enough.
"The general takes me there, I want to protect the general."
"But you're only ten years old, how can you protect me? This is dangerous, Xiyue is different from other countries, you must be prepared to lose your general and me at any time. Xi Feng never liked to beat around the bush, and if he wanted to take him there, he would tell him directly.
Chang'an, as usual, stayed in Xi Feng's room for a while, read the military book for a while, and left, but Chang'an didn't walk long before there was a knock on the door.
"General, have you slept?"
Xi Feng is really busy, he hasn't slept well for a day since he came to this place, Ah Ruo came here and took care of the General's Mansion with Ah Zhi, so Xi Feng is very much outside Ah Ruo will look for himself at this time.
"No, you come in."
"General, I received a letter from Yuwen Wanhua today, saying that I want me to help her collect intelligence in the General's Mansion, although I didn't mean it, but I think I should let you know."
Ah Ruo looks humble no matter where she is, what has she experienced over the years to be so humble.
"Ah Ruo, it hasn't been long since you came to my General's Mansion, but you have been in Xiangguo's Mansion for many years, but you are willing to be sincere to me?"
"Don't hide it from the general, I have a feeling of familiarity with the general, just because I looked at the general twice, I was scolded by Yuwen Wanhua like this, I have never received due respect in the years in Xiangguo Mansion, why should I help them to deceive the general who treats me sincerely."
If it is true to say that Yuwen Wanhua is arrogant, but Xiangguofu is not such an unsympathetic place, why is it that Ah Ruo has been so bad for so many years, not to mention the passive beating and scolding, and he doesn't even have the basic human rights of a slave.
"I really didn't have a lifelong friendship with the general, but the general saved me from fire and water, and handed over the responsibility of the general's mansion to me, so I decided that I would only be sincere to the general in this life."
In the Ah Ruoli that Xi Feng knows, she will not be so sleek and sophisticated, although her years of experience have changed her, but she still hasn't been able to change her attitude towards Xi Feng.
The wind swept into the big dye vat of the imperial court, and she didn't know if she could keep her heart, but she felt that her loyalty to Tuoba Tong would not become.
"Okay, Ah Ruo, you will hand over the note to Chang'an in a while, I don't need you to do anything for me, as long as you take care of the affairs in the house, you don't need to worry about anything else." For Ah Ruo's debt, Xi Feng really wants to make up for it, she just needs to follow behind her.
"Doesn't the general believe in Ah Ruo?"
Xi Feng just blindly wanted to protect Ah Ruo, but she ignored Ah Ruo's own thoughts, and Xi Feng naturally believed Ah Ruo.
"No, Ah Ruo, I just hope that your life in the General's Mansion can be easier, if I don't believe you, I won't save you from Yuwen Wanhua that day."
"Ah Ruo is a member of the general's mansion, and Ah Ruo is willing to do some modest help for the general." In the past, Ah Ruo also said this, but at that time, Xi Feng and Ah Ruo couldn't take care of anyone, and they couldn't talk about everything, but today Xi Feng gave Ah Ruo a platform, and she could do whatever she wanted.
"Okay, Ah Ruo, then you can do what you want, just one thing, remember to take care of yourself, don't get hurt."
She said that she wanted to share the burden, so naturally she wanted to pretend that Xi Feng was not good to her to make Yuwen Wanhua believe her, but Ah Ruo just didn't know what Yuwen Wanhua wanted to know from her own hands.
Although Ah Ruo has never gone out of the General's Mansion for a long time, Ah Zhi will tell her as soon as he has any news, probably because Xi Feng is a good person, and all the friends around him are easy to get along with.
Xi Feng knew all kinds of Ah Ruo in the previous dynasty, and he had been embarrassed by not being able to help the general, but now he finally had a chance, how could Ah Ruo give up easily, if he could be the general's right-hand man, Ah Ruo was also happy.
Xi Feng's favorite thing is to sit on the roof of his dormitory, the General's Mansion is a higher place in Pingcheng, you can overlook a street, watching some vendors outside Most of them have to pack up their things and go home, children will fight around their parents, although their parents are tired all day, they will also buy a candy man on the street and hand it to their young son.
She wondered if she could be born in an ordinary family, if she could also enjoy such a life, but people are always not satisfied, people living in the house look forward to the days of living in the palace, but people living in the palace have troubles that mortals can't solve.
Early in the morning, Xi Feng rode a horse and waited for him at the door of Wu Yong's house, but he waited for a small servant, and sure enough, Xi Feng still knew this person quite well, and he actually fell into the pool last night and infected himself with a cold.
Then I had to go to Gu Mo's house to discuss, Xi Feng was already an hour ahead of the scheduled time, but he didn't expect Gu Mo to be waiting at the door a long time ago.
"Mrs. Gu is early." Treading snow is Xi Feng's horse, as arrogant as Xi Feng, looking at Gu Mo with his nostrils.
"Isn't General Yelu also very early, since it is so early, I have bad news for you." The next man led Gu Mo's horse out.
"I already know that our army division of the Northern Wei Dynasty was infected with a wind chill last night and can't go."
