In late April, Yang Qiong and 3,000 other people who went out hunting returned to Yanzhou Mansion.

"Why is it so late as expected?" Zhiying listened to the forward's report and asked a little strangely. Yang Qiong set off in mid-March, and she should be back in mid-April as planned.

The striker knelt on one knee and replied: "Mrs. Hui, General Yang saved a group of Busha herdsmen who were chased and killed by the Beidi people in Yangui Mountain, so the return journey was delayed a little, I hope Madame will not blame." ”

Zhiying was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Busha herdsmen?" How could the Busha people be hunted down and killed by the Beidi people, did you ask them why? ”

The forward told the truth: "I asked, saying that they themselves don't know, the Beidi people chased them all the way from Chaoyan Mountain to Yangui Mountain, and they have taken away hundreds of their women, if they didn't meet General Yang, they might never be able to get out of Yangui Mountain again." ”

Zhiying gasped when she heard this, and her eyes were dizzy, Cui Yi hurriedly put down her pen and came forward to support her, and at the same time asked, "How many people have you saved?" ”

"Less than two thousand, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their patriarch almost died under the knife of the Beidi people, but was saved by General Yang and carried back on a stretcher all the way."

Cui Yi hugged Zhiying's shoulder and whispered comfort: "It's good that people are alive, go out to pick them up?" ”

Zhiying was still in shock, nodded helplessly, Cui Yi sent the striker down to rest, and personally accompanied Zhiying to the city gate to greet him.

When Yang Qiong went out, he took 3,000 people and rode fast horses, but when he came back, he had a few more carts of animal meat, animal skins and other things, and nearly 2,000 herdsmen accompanying him, and many of them were injured and sick, old and weak, women and children, so naturally they couldn't get up soon.

"Lord Wang, madam," Yang Qiong knew that she didn't have time to care about the harvest of hunting now, so she raised her arm and pointed back, "People are behind." Zhiying nodded hurriedly and ran towards the end of the line.

Cui Yi stood still in place, Yang Qiong was a little surprised: "The prince is not going?" ”

Cui Yi shook his head: "This king just came out for a walk by the way, and when he looks at the excerpts every day, he is about to see it as a cross-eyed." ”

Yang Qiong was laughing and laughing, and suddenly heard him say again: "You are doing a good job." Yang Qiong immediately recovered her normal color and said, "The last general thought that the prince would be furious and not let the lady go to see that person, after all, ......"

Cui Yi squinted and smiled carelessly, and said: "In the end, they saved Zhiying's life, if they don't try to do something for them, Zhiying will have a pimple in his heart, and it will not be easy to even take this king." ”

Yang Qiong was relieved when she heard him say this, glanced at the end of the team, and said with a smile: "The prince is excellent in martial arts, and the lady is resourceful, the prince and the lady are a match made in heaven, how can ordinary people break up." ”

"Ordinary people......" Cui Yi shook his head thoughtfully, followed his line of sight to see the tail of the team, and saw the Yibusha woman leaning on Zhiying's shoulder, as if crying, Zhiying stroked the back of her head, while bowing his head and asking the person lying on the stretcher, said a few words, the man stretched out his hand, Zhiying held it.

Cui Yi instantly burst the vinegar jar, and there were green tendons on his head: "No, this king still has to go and see!" With that, he rushed towards that side at full speed.

Yang Qiong stood in place, with an embarrassed expression, completely speechless.

Bomur has practiced martial arts since childhood, his body is strong, and the military doctor has treated him in a timely manner, but he has no worries about his life, but he still needs to rest in bed for more than a month, if he wants to be completely healed, he can't say that it will take two or three months, and it is not suitable for strenuous exercise during the recuperation period, and it is absolutely impossible to ride a horse, which means that the Busha people must stay in the pass until the end of the summer before they can go.

In this regard, although Bomur didn't say anything, the three words of reluctance were written on his face - it is understandable to think so, in other words, no one is willing to accept the charity of the rival in love, especially when the rival is still in the upper hand.

"I've settled down the others, you don't have to worry, just take care of your injuries here, and tell your subordinates if you need anything." The soldiers went in and out to move things, and Zhiying sat on the embroidered stool next to the bed and said soothingly.

Bomur's expression was cold and indifferent, and after listening to her words, he simply said "um", neither refusing nor accepting their kindness.

Sang Duo whispered uneasily: "Brother, how can you say thank you." Zhi Ying hurriedly said: "Say thank you, didn't you take me in when I was in trouble?" In my heart, you are just like my family, and it is too much to say thank you. ”

Sang Duo lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but glance at Cui Yi, who was sitting outside.

Ever since he saw Zhiying and Bo Mu'er shaking hands at the city gate, Cui Yi followed him wherever he went like a large shepherd dog, for fear that Zhiying, the little sheep, would be bitten by Bo Mu'er's big wolf, his vigilant appearance was in Sang Duo's eyes, as if he didn't welcome them, especially thinking that he had provoked their husband and wife a few months ago, lest Cui Yi still hold grudges, and he didn't dare to look at him.

There is a volcano outside, an iceberg inside, Sang Duo feels very difficult, the left and right brothers don't want to speak, it is better to send people away, so he pulled Zhiying's sleeve: "Sister Zhiying, you must have a lot of things to do, you don't have to guard us, I will take care of my brother." ”

Zhiying guessed that she felt uncomfortable, so she nodded: "Okay, then I'll go first, you can come to me at any time if there is anything, or ask someone to inform me, I'll come over when I'm free." ”

Sang Duo agreed, sending Zhiying and the two out, Cui Yi glanced into the house not very happily, and happened to collide with Sang Duo's gaze, Sang Duo was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and immediately lowered his head again.

"Let's go, don't disturb their rest." Zhiying urged, Cui Yi's eyes moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he decided not to say it and left with Zhiying.

Sending people away, Sang Duo breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and trotted into the room, sat on the edge of the bed, and said reproachfully: "Brother, no matter how unhappy you are, we still escaped from the palm of the Beidi people thanks to the blessing of the Han prince, don't say thank you, don't put on that expression, how difficult it is for you to make Zhiying like this." ”

Bo Mu'er still didn't speak, and Sang Duo couldn't help but be deflated and said: "I see that the martial prince has a serious expression, his face is full of displeasure, and I don't know if he will come to us for trouble with Zhiying behind his back." ”

Cui Yi is not so boring, he is forced by Zhiying to watch the excerpts that can never be finished every day, and he is so busy that he doesn't have time to care about their life or death, he only routinely accompanies Zhiying when he comes to visit the patient every day, and takes a look at the brothers and sisters, and never says anything.

There is no decent doctor in Yanzhou, fortunately Zhiying was prepared when he was in the capital, not only learned the basic skills of looking, hearing and asking from Cheng Fengyi, but also copied a thick stack of symptomatic prescriptions for various major illnesses and small injuries, and a large cart of precious medicinal materials and Xie Yuchan prepared all kinds of supplements for Cui Yi to "treat old diseases", although it was not very professional, but it was barely enough, and after more than half a month of recuperation, Bo Muer's injuries were basically healed and he was able to walk on the ground.

At the same time, Bailizan, who went to Dongchang to buy grain, finally came back over the mountains and mountains.

After coming back from a long trip, Bailizan not only did not look tired, but was full of energy and spirit.

Zhiying smiled: "Mr. is red-faced, is this a rebirth?" ”

Xiao Taoshu and the owner have been separated for so long, and today they finally saw each other again, and they couldn't wait to jump on Bailizan, and Bailizan happily picked it up: "Thanks to the blessing of the prince and his wife, everything went well on this trip." - Oh, you little fat cat, in the days when I am away, you have eaten well with your wife, why is it so heavy. ”

Xiao Taoshu "meowed" angrily, and the two meat pads beckoned to him together, and Zhiying endured it with a smile: "What Mr. said, Xiao Taoshu is pregnant, and when the kitten is born last time, the palace will be lively." ”

Bailizan's eyes lit up: "Yo~ So I'm going to be promoted to a grandfather?" Okay, you and my little girl. As he spoke, he lifted the little peach cake to his face and rubbed it, and the little peach cake rubbed back a few times reservedly, nestled in his arms and flicked his tail coquettishly.

The people in the courtyard all laughed at them, and Xie Yong asked with a smile: "Mr. Baili has worked hard all the way, I don't know how much food he bought?" ”

Bailizan smiled and raised a finger, and Xie Yong said suspiciously: "A thousand stones? "Ten thousand stones," Bailizan replied happily, "The price of rice in Dongchang is lower than that of the states in the south of the Yangtze River, and if I don't buy it for nothing, I simply bought all the grain I could buy, and it was enough to load five hundred carts, and I was really frightened on the way back." ”

Xie Yong's face was pale, he could hardly believe his ears, Bailizan, a weak scholar, actually bought back 10,000 stone of rice from Dongchang Kingdom? It's twice as much as what I borrowed, so how low is the price of rice in Dongchang?

"Mr. bought 10,000 stones, plus 5,000 stones borrowed from Xuanzhou, enough for us to last until the autumn harvest," Zhiying couldn't hide his joy, "Mr. is hard, let's go back and rest for a while, tonight I will hold a weekly banquet for Xian'er in the house, and everyone will get together for a drink." ”

Bailizan slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot." He took out a paper bag from his bosom and handed it to Zhiying, "For Mrs. and Miss, it's not a valuable thing, but it's auspicious." ”

Zhiying curiously took it and opened it to see that there were two small talismans, one red one was written with the year of peace, needless to say it was for Xiao Cui Xian, and the other was golden, which said that he had a noble son early.

Profit: "......"

Cui Yi stretched out his head to take a look, and his heart suddenly burst into joy: "Good thing!" ”

Zhiying made a big red face, angry and funny, and looked up to scold, but Bailizan had foresight, and ran away with oil on the soles of his feet, so he had to stomp his feet angrily.

That night, there was a rare extravagance and waste in the palace, and the kitchen made several big dishes, including venison and rabbit meat that Yang Qiong brought back not long ago, fresh melons and fruits that Cao Qian had just picked back from the ground, and a jar of Dongchang wine brought back from Bailizan, and everyone sat around a table to celebrate Xiao Cui Xian's first birthday.

Cui Yi drank with high spirits, raised his glass and said loudly: "Everyone, since you have chosen to follow this king, you will work hard, and when this king becomes the emperor in the future, you will all be heroes!" You can have whatever you want! ”

More than half of the table were men, and after drinking, they all followed the coaxing, Cui Yi took advantage of the wine, promising to give them how much gold and silver and how much real estate in the future, Zhiying heard it helplessly and wanted to laugh, and when they had made enough, Cui Yi sat down to eat vegetables, and then approached him and whispered: "Lord, promise not to be light, so I don't live up to people, promise not to be credulous, so people don't live up to me, some words can't be said too much." ”

Cui Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded in submission, and said in a hoarse voice: "I remember, thank you, concubine." ”

A word of thanks, not only to thank her for always reminding her of the teachings, but also to thank her for taking the risk to give birth to her daughter, but also to thank her for sharing weal and woe and never giving up.

Zhiying smiled slightly: "Husband and wife are one, why bother to say thank you." ”

Cui Yisui smiled and didn't say much, and continued to drink and eat with everyone.
