Chapter 27: Yingtao
"My lord, Wen went straight back to Ning County after coming down from Hutou Mountain," a spy sneaked over and reported to a middle-aged man.
"Wen Chaozhuo has already guessed that we will ambush on the way out, it seems that we need to think long-term to deal with this person" Xun Zhi walked out behind the man.
"Xun Gongzi, did you say that they have already gotten the "Mountains and Rivers Record"?" The man took this matter more seriously.
The ancestor of the Yan family once had a person who spent his life visiting the mountains and rivers of Daqi and wrote a book called "Mountains and Rivers", which describes the various topography of the mountains and rivers of Daqi in great detail, so it has a very high value for Daqi and the West Night, especially the West Night that has been eyeing the tiger, with this book, it is like a tiger to their invasion of Daqi.
"Maybe" Because Wen Chaozhuo did not choose to leave immediately, but chose to return to Ning County, it was difficult for Xun Zhi to deduce for a while whether this book had fallen into his hands, and now he had a more urgent matter, he had decided to personally go to Hutou Mountain tomorrow to meet that Yingtao.
At this time, on Hutou Mountain, Yingtao was in a daze in front of a piece of clothing in his room.
Yan Hong originally wanted to ask Yingtao to eat, but seeing him so obsessed, he still chose to leave after lingering at the door for a while.
"I made you a dress for you to try" The most perfect person in the world in memory appeared in front of Yingtao, this person was actually Wen Qianqian, the wife of Lin Jue, the guard of Qingcheng.
"Madam, I ......" Yingtao was still a childish child at that time.
"Looking at you, I think of my brother, it's not too much for my sister to make a dress for my brother, right?" Wen Qianqian smiled slightly, as if she had taken away the splendor of heaven and earth, which made Yingtao blush.
"You see that when you wear this dress, you will be more energetic, and you will not lose face when you serve in front of the master in the future," Wen Qianqian teased.
"Thank you, madam," Yingtao was a little at a loss for a while.
"Thank you, I have something to tell you," Wen Qianqian said again.
Madame's order was, "Yingtao now wants to do something for Wen Qianqian."
"You know that the old man's stomach has always been bad, but he always eats and lives with the soldiers in the barracks, and I can't take care of him, can you help me take care of him?" Wen Qianqian looked at Yingtao very sincerely.
"This is what I should do" Yingtao was the little maid next to Lin Jue, and it was his responsibility to take care of the master's food and clothing, and now Mrs. specially instructed him, which not only made him feel a great responsibility, but also let him know Mrs. Lord's heart for the master.
"Of course, don't tell him about this, or he'll blame me again" Wen Qianqian winked playfully, and Yingtao felt that the air was heavy.
"Of course, you should also pay attention to your body when taking care of him," Wen Qianqian told very modestly.
Yingtao felt very moved by Wen Qianqian's concern, because Wen Qianqian not only did not discriminate against him because of his identity, but also cared so much about himself, such a master is really rare in the world, no, he believes that there is no one else except the lord and the lady.
"I know your situation, although you have been lonely since you were a child, but the Lin Mansion is your home, me and the master are your parents, and in a few years, we will find a family affair for you, so that it can be regarded as comforting your father's soul in the sky."
To this day, Yingtao still remembers what Wen Qianqian said to himself, every word made him feel warm, although in the eyes of others, this little warmth and pity supported him through the darkest time in his life. The Lin Mansion had indeed become his home, and everyone there took care of him, they played together, and he thought he had come to the end of his life, but disaster suddenly appeared when he was most hopeful. At that time, the lord found a girl for himself, and the other party hoped that he could come to the door, so the lord let him leave Qingcheng, who knew that the farewell was forever. Because Lin Jue and his wife died, the other party also abolished the marriage contract, so he not only failed to marry a wife, but also regretted that he could not go to Huangquan with his "family". This is the regret of his life, which naturally makes him hate Xiye and Wen even more.
By chance, Yingtao became Yanguang's son-in-law, and after following his father-in-law to learn the art of war and understand a certain political situation, he found that the defeat of Qingcheng was definitely not so simple, and Daqi not only did not send reinforcements, but should have given up Qingcheng from the beginning. When he learned the news, he hated Daqi even more, and this imperial court, which made the old lady make all the people of the Lin family loyal to him, was the culprit. The betrayal of a friend is always more painful than the wound of an enemy, because he destroys not only the body but also the soul and faith. To this day, he can't imagine how sad the old man was when he chose to die, and perhaps the old man chose to die in battle because he didn't want to face this dirty politics.
"General, the envoy of Daqi has sent a letter" Because the Liukou on Hutou Mountain was originally a regular army, they called the leader a general according to their custom.
"Oh, bring it," Yingtao walked to the door, took the letter, and studied it carefully.
After reading the letter, Yingtao's face smiled, if the messenger arrived tomorrow according to the letter, then he only needed to tell him that the "Mountains and Rivers Record" was accidentally stolen. He wanted to see which of the two was better. Of course, dog-eat-dog is only good-looking if it is quite equal.
"Also, Madame said that if you are done, you will go to the front hall to eat" The subordinate saw that Yingtao finished reading the letter and conveyed Yan Hong's instructions.
"Okay, you go first" Yingtao sent the person away and returned to the clothes.
"Sir, madam, you have heard, now I am also a wife, she is very kind and considerate to me, I want you to witness my happiness, but...... That damn West Night and Daqi shattered all this" Yingtao's eyes were filled with tears, he knew that he was weak and pitiful in front of these two behemoths, so what? Didn't they want to give anything for the destruction of his "home"? This "Mountains and Rivers" is an opportunity, he wants to make the relationship between the two countries ossify again, he is not afraid of any war, and it doesn't matter how many people will be affected? At this moment, he is already extreme, in his opinion, since everything he values most has disappeared, then the life and death of others has nothing to do with him.
"What are you going to do?" As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Zhang Yidao couldn't help but ask, because Lin Xuan, who had always been a model student, asked his master for a few days off for the first time.
Lin Xuan ran in front of the gifts that had already been prepared, and checked in detail again, "Xun Gongzi said that he was going to visit a friend tomorrow", in fact, Lin Xuan himself was a little surprised by Xun Zhi's move, but he thought that Xun Zhi would rather let him suspend school for a few days than take him there, and he definitely had his own considerations, so he didn't ask in detail.
"What exactly?" Zhang Yidao leaned over Lin Xuan's side and asked curiously.
"I don't know," Lin Xuan replied truthfully.
"Who's that guy?" Zhang Yidao continued to ask without giving up,
"I don't know" is the same answer.
"Where's the place?"
"I don't know"
This time, Zhang Yidao was completely angry, "I said are you stupid, you don't know anything and go with Xun Zhi, what if he sells you?" ”
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly and said to Zhang Yidao: "If you buy and sell people, then I will admit it."
Zhang Yidao looked at Lin Xuan's appearance and really wanted to teach him a lesson, but he still held back the fire, anyway, he couldn't let Lin Xuan leave with Xun Zhi in such a daze tomorrow.
