Chapter 142 "Gathering in Yancheng"
"Sister, you're all awake." Qin Youyou walked into Xiao Xinyi's room and was also stunned when he saw Leng Moyan.
"Why don't you sleep more?" Xiao Xinyi leaned sideways to give her a spot.
"I can't sleep when I wake up, I want to talk to you." Qin Youyou said in a low voice.
"I'm tired during this time, and I can't help you, I'm really ashamed." Xiao Xinyi saw that Qin Youyou's originally round chin showed signs of emaciation.
"No, no, in fact, Hu Hu and I didn't do anything, he just recovered and was recuperating all the time, I just took care of him on the side, these things were all done with the help of Zhuge Gongzi and Hua Gongzi." Qin Youyou spoke with gratitude.
"yes, you'll thank them when the wedding is over."
"Well, thank you sister and Mo Yan too, you have also helped a lot."
"We are relatives, so what's the use of thanks."
When the three of them didn't know a word, the morning glow in the east was full, the birds that migrated south had not yet returned, only a few sparrows were chirping on the branches showing their green buds, everything was rejuvenated, the winter snow melted, and the haze that had been hovering in everyone's hearts for a long time temporarily dissipated due to a happy event.
In the blink of an eye, it was another day, Qin Youyou was taken home by Hu Guyue from the county guard mansion in a dark wedding dress, and all the famous figures in Jianhe County were present, all of whom knew that this wedding was presided over by the new general himself, even if they did not receive the invitation, they spontaneously squeezed into Hu Guyue's not spacious courtyard with congratulatory gifts, hoping to meet with this general and say a few words, and they would have the capital to brag in Jianhe County in the future.
As a result, when Hu Guyue married Qin Youyou and returned, the people who gave gifts at the door had already lined up at the street corner. Fortunately, the army brought by Zhuge Qinghong opened the way, and the crowd did not appear crowded and pushed, and Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou entered the main hall smoothly. With the wedding words of the Thousand Wings in a wedding dress, Leng Moyan handed a red scarf to Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou, and then the Wo Yu ceremony, the same prison ceremony, the joint ceremony, and the worship ceremony, neither of them had close relatives present, when they knelt down to their parents, Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou wanted to bow in the direction of Jiangcheng, Xiao Xinyi grabbed the two and said a word in their ears, Qin Youyou was unbelievable at first, when he got a definite answer, he knelt down with Hu Guyue and bowed down to the middle of the hall, Xiao Xinyi told them that now Qin Zhen is hiding behind the room. Qin Youyou didn't know whether she was wronged or happy, her nose was sour and she was about to cry, thinking that it would be unlucky to cry when she thought that today was her happy day, she took a sharp breath and endured her tears.
Finally, there is the hair ceremony, Hua Rujiang cut a strand of Hu Guyue's hair, Leng Moyan cut a strand of Qin Youyou's hair, Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou took each other's hair and put it into a bag embroidered with a hundred years of good fit to lock the concentric lock.
From then on, Hu Guyue was Qin Youyou's husband, heaven and earth were the witnesses, the sun and the moon were the name, and the glory was shared through hardships and hardships.
Since then, Qin Youyou is Hu Guyue's wife, the sky is long, the mountains are high and the water is long, and she never abandons the phoenix and seeks the phoenix.
Hua Rujiang looked at Hu Guyue, who was toasting one by one with a red face, and sighed while pouring wine for himself: "You said that Hu Hu doesn't say anything on weekdays, why did you deceive your daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect that he was the most promising among the three of us." ”
"Why, envy." Zhuge Qinghong stopped and glanced at him with the wine glass on his lips.
"Phew, it's like you're not envious." Hua Rujiang glared at him: "Will this son envy him?" Believe it or not, as long as my son wants to get married, all my red faces all over the martial arts are crying and rushing to find me. ”
"If you say this in front of Leng Moyan, I will believe it."
"Ahem... Ahem..."
Hua Rujiang, who was proud, heard Zhuge Qinghong's words that were not salty or light, and his face was red from the wine in his throat.
"General, Vice Admiral Hua, it turns out that you are here..."
The courtyard was full of people, and the sound of guessing and persuading people to drink was endless, and Xiao Xinyi heard the voice of a middle-aged man flattering when he walked out of Qin Youyou's room. It was these two titles that solved the doubts in her heart, she always felt that something was wrong, and it was only then that she understood the problem, she had never heard anyone call Zhuge Qinghong as General Zhuge .
Zeng Meng is General Zeng, Gan Yue is Gan Junshou, he has Vice General Hua and Deputy General Tong by his side, why everyone only calls him a general, no one in the army calls him General Zhuge , and over time, the outside world only knows that there is a brave and warlike young general in the Falling Moon Army, although only a few people know that he is the son of Zhuge Villa, but most people only refer to the little general.
"Deputy hall master, I'm glad you want to have a few more drinks today." Yi Rong staggered over to her with a wine glass, apparently drunk.
"Thank you, Mrs. Yi." Xiao Xinyi took the wine glass from Yi Rong's hand and helped her to sit down at an unmanned table. "Mrs. Yi, I don't know anything."
"Deputy hall master, please speak."
"Why don't you ever call Ah Yin General Zhuge ."
"What's strange about this, the hall master is General Zhuge and the young master is also General Zhuge , the hall master ordered not to be called the young master General Zhuge so as not to confuse the identities of the two."
"I see." Xiao Xinyi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart were not reduced.
"Come, deputy hall master, have a few more drinks, we will leave tomorrow, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army."
Tomorrow is leaving, Xiao Xinyi's heart jumps, tomorrow is another day of separation.
"Is Uncle alright?" Xiao Xinyi hadn't seen him in months since he left Lingfeng.
"I also rarely see the hall master, I heard Qianyi say that he took the lead in attacking Pingcheng this time and was slightly injured." Speaking of Zhuge Haochu, Yi Rong's wine woke up most of the time.
"Uncle is injured." Xiao Xinyi's heart shook suddenly.
"It's just a minor injury, the deputy hall master doesn't need to be so nervous, there are a few doctors in the army with superb medical skills, and now it's fine."
Although Yi Rong said this, Xiao Xinyi was still not at ease in his heart, and found Qianyi and asked about the situation carefully, and learned that it was indeed only a minor injury that made him feel a little relieved.
It was late at night after the wedding banquet dispersed, Xiao Xinyi and Leng Moyan went back to the county guard mansion together, in the past, Qin Youyou was inseparable from her wherever she went, but now that there was suddenly no her by her side, Xiao Xinyi always felt empty in her heart. Because of something in her heart, she didn't drink during the banquet, and when she returned to the room, Zhuge Qinghong was already waiting for her.
"Xin'er, I'm going to Pingcheng tomorrow."
"I heard my uncle was injured."
"It's just a minor injury, I went back to see him when you didn't come back, and he should be almost fine now."
"I want to see my uncle."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Zhuge Qinghong didn't ask Xiao Xinyi again if he would go to Pingcheng with him, although he didn't know why Shuangshengmen, a sect of rivers and lakes, would be driven by the imperial court without hesitation, but he respected Xiao Xinyi's decision.
In the early morning, the sound of the horn was high-pitched and fierce, and the word "falling moon" on the banner fluttered in the wind, and the falling moon army that had stayed in Jianhe County for a long time finally set off to Pingcheng.
Zhuge Qinghong left two thousand people and Qianyi Yirong to guard Jianhe County together, Xiao Xinyi and Leng Moyan stayed in Jianhe County for one more day, and rushed to Yancheng after distancing themselves from the Falling Moon Army, Hu Guyue and Qin Youyou wanted to go with them, but were stopped by Xiao Xinyi, Hu Guyue was no longer a disciple of the Double Holy Gate, and could no longer fight side by side with the Double Holy Gate, and the newlywed Yan'er, Xiao Xinyi preferred to let them live their own stable life in Jianhe County. Zhuge Qinghong asked Hua Rujiang to find a shop as a wedding gift to the two, with Hu Guyue's medical skills, the two of them will be able to Qin Se and Ming in the second half of their lives without worry, if Qin Youyou has a man and half a woman, life will be complete, raise the case and return to the place, and hang the pot to help the children and grandchildren. It was Xiao Xinyi who gave them the most sincere blessing.
Thirty miles away from Yancheng, Xiao Xinyi saw Zhuge Haochu, but he hadn't seen him for several months, and the originally energetic martial arts alliance leader was full of hair and thin body. The once majestic bearing has added a bit of sharpness honed from the battlefield.
Like Zhuge Qinghong, Zhuge Haochu did not force Xiao Xinyi to stay in Pingcheng, everyone has their own choice, his father and son are different from Qin Zhen, they have watched Xiao Xinyi step by step to get to where they are today, and they also know her determination to avenge Cang'an Villa, and Jiang Yunkai is the source of the fall of Cang'an Villa, and even Xiao Xinyi himself does not know whether he hates the Moon Army more or the imperial court.
Wind Shadow has been waiting outside Yancheng, and only at night did he receive the two people who were wearing stars and moons. Yancheng is really different from other cities and counties, and the heightened and reinforced walls alone are already daunting. The general sitting in Yancheng is the ninth uncle of the emperor of the dynasty, and the army in the city lives up to the emperor's name and heavenly prestige regardless of the weapon, armor and military might. In front of the royal family and nobles, the Shuangshengmen is just a Jianghu sect, and the Nine Emperor Uncles are naturally not something that these people in the rivers and lakes can see, but because the emperor personally ordered the people in the Shuangshengmen to assist in defending the city, the Nine Emperor Uncles still sent someone to arrange Su Ren and his party properly. Now the Shuangsheng Gate is not what it used to be, it is no longer the original down-and-out sect with less than 1,000 people, except for the disciples guarding in various cities and counties, there are as many as 6,000 disciples in Yancheng alone, and there are more than 4,000 disciples in colorful clothes, and the disciples of the Poison Holy Gate practice poison arts, tracking and concealment techniques, which are the most practical killing techniques, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one enemy and one hundred. Although the disciples of the Medical Holy Gate are exquisite in their internal strength and mental methods, they are far inferior to the disciples of the Poison Holy Gate when it comes to killing the enemy in battle.
Xiao Xinyi met Gan Yue, who was escorted by Su Ren in Yancheng, and learned that he had reported what happened in Jianhe County to the imperial court. However, in line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, the county guards in various places still killed many people who were suspected of being spies of the Falling Moon Army, and before Xiao Xinyi arrived in Yancheng, dozens of people had been executed, as for whether they were spies or not, only the person who was killed knew it.
For a while, half of the people of Anye Country were panicked, for fear that they would be executed as spies if they were not careful, as for the people of the Half Anye Country, they were naturally the cities and counties captured by the Falling Moon Army, and they were enjoying the protection of the Falling Moon Army and the relief of food and rice at this time.
