Chapter 277: A Long-Lost Signal
The blazing bonfire, fragrant roast mutton, fragrant river fish soup, and hero wine that is rarely seen by ordinary people, are paired with slightly cold and hard steamed buns. These are the dinners that Zhao Xiaoxi and his party enjoyed on the first night when they first arrived in Western Xia.
The women didn't have to think about it, they acted as full enjoyers, and took a piece of cooked mutton roasted from Zhao Xiaoxi's body. Despite the hot wow wow, the women still felt that the taste of mutton in this atmosphere was delicious that they had never tasted.
Compared with them enjoying these foods in small bites, Zhao Xiaoxi and Duan Yu and his party are relatively bold. The wine barbecue, enjoyed under this white moonlight, also has a hint of the boldness of the prairie man.
Although the guards were not qualified to participate in this kind of banquet, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was their master, still specially roasted a whole sheep for them. After it was fully ripe, it was cut into small portions and divided between the two heavenly guards to be enjoyed by the vigilant guards.
Even if it is this very precious heroic blood, Zhao Xiaoxi was not stingy and gave Tianwei two sheepskin bags. Let them enjoy this delicacy with these guards. It's just that the place where they had dinner was outside Zhao Xiaoxi's group.
The blood of the heroes in two sheepskin bags, shared by nearly thirty military guards, did not make people drunk. In fact, the guards also know that this is more of an affirmation and reward for Zhao Xiaoxi to protect them all the way.
Just when Zhao Xiaoxi was tasting the wine with Duan Yu and the others, Ah Zi, who hadn't seen him for a while, pulled Zhong Ling over. Urging Zhong Ling, he asked Zhao Xiaoxi for this spirit. Seeing that there was excitement, Zhao Mo also seemed very interesting and came over to coax.
Looking at Zhong Ling's slightly excited eyes, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled bitterly: "Ling'er, you don't need me to say, you should know that this kind of wine is very strong." You will not be afraid. Will you not wake up after drinking? ”
Regarding this worry, Zhong Ling smiled and said: "It's okay, with you and Brother Yu here, we definitely don't have to worry about safety." Besides, if a few of us share a bag of wine, we will definitely not get drunk. This wine is in the palace. I've drunk it too! ”
As soon as he heard this, Duan Yu immediately suddenly realized: "No wonder, I think the first few times Aunt Qin said that she wanted to drink, she must have asked for wine for you." I said why does my uncle always smile wryly every time he sees Aunt Qin's palace maid come to carry wine! ”
Hearing these women, they have tasted this kind of heroic blood in Dali. Zhao Xiaoxi also knows that the amount of hero blood he supplies to Dali every year is not much. Even Duan Zhengming, the monarch of Dali, is reluctant to enjoy this wine every day.
Looking at the few bags of wine sent by Wu Wei today. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say anything, and directly handed over half a bag of wine in his hand and said, "Okay, this wine is for you." Remember, though, don't overdo it, we're on our way tomorrow.
In addition, Ling'er, you also have to remember that this is not the Great Song Dynasty but the Western Xia. Even if I'm with your brother, I can't guarantee that I will be able to withstand all dangers. If you're really drunk. When the time comes, there will be an accident, and you won't be able to run if you want to. ”
See the wine bag in hand. Zhong Ling also said happily: "Don't worry! I know how much I drink, and I don't drink this half bag alone. Eating mutton and drinking fish soup always feels a little awkward, but it is more fragrant to eat meat with wine. ”
Get! Dare to love this girl, and there is a bit of a child in the rivers and lakes. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say anything more, and asked the third daughter to carry half a bag of wine with a wry smile. Take it to them and enjoy it. What made him cry and laugh was that Wang Yuyan also came to join in the fun.
As a result, as soon as she took a sip of this wine, Wang Yuyan squirted out directly, and her pretty face was choked red by the wine. Desperately shouting 'so spicy, so spicy'. It wasn't until Mu Wanqing handed over a bowl of fish soup that she eased up a little.
In addition to Wang Yuyan no longer sharing this bag of wine, Mu Wanqing and Zhao Yu both drank a few sips, and there was no similar situation of Wang Yuyan choking on wine. As for Ah Zi and Zhong Ling, they are like men, they eat very happily with a mouthful of wine and meat.
I have long known that Suojiu is Ah Zi's idea, but Zhao Xiaoxi has not revealed her little secret. From what he learned, after being a princess in Dali for so long, Ah Zi's stubborn character has also changed a lot.
Of course, if she is treated as harmless to humans and animals, then she will definitely suffer. In short, in Duan Yu's words, this is a treacherous girl who is behind her back and encourages others to be gunmen. If you really think she is honest, she won't know if she sells people.
As Zhao Xiaoxi and others finished eating a roasted whole sheep, Ba Tianshi and others also knew it. They don't have to act as guards, and they are qualified to stay here and dine together, more because they still have official positions in Dali.
It's just that when they're out of the house, their responsibility is to protect Duan Yu. This time, in order to ensure Duan Yu's safety, they must also be cautious. Therefore, when they had almost drunk it, they stopped drinking the rare wine.
As one of the three princes of Dali, Ba Tianshi is also an important minister who will assist Daduan Yu in the future. When they came out on this trip, they also had the responsibility of teaching Duan Yu. Naturally, it is not good to have a bad thing in front of Duan Yu, the prince, who is greedy for a cup and misbehaves.
Seeing that several women were drinking and their faces were flushed, Zhao Xiaoxi could only look helpless. Fortunately, Mu Wanqing was relatively restrained, and followed Wang Yuyan to place Ah Zi, Zhong Ling and Zhao Ming, who were drinking nonsense, into the tent to rest in advance.
As for Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing, they sleep in a tent at night. Compared to the other three girls, they are about the same age, and they can talk together if they have common words. Mu Wanqing's personality can be chatted with Wang Yuyan even more.
In order to ensure the safety of the women, the tents of Zhao Xiaoxi and others were around their periphery. Even in order to deal with emergencies, Zhao Xiaoxi's tent was set up in a resting place with Wu Wei and others.
Once there is an emergency at night, Zhao Xiaoxi can also wake up Wu Wei in time to get up to meet the enemy. Of course, another advantage is that if you want to steal incense at night, you won't let others hear it, which will make it embarrassing to wake up during the day.
finally reunited with Mu Wanqing and others, and Zhao Xiaoxi naturally wanted to comfort him. At night, Zhong Ling was drunk, and he thought that he would sleep until dawn. Then the only one who can accompany him at night is Mu Wanqing, who is relatively thin-skinned.
In order to ensure that everyone had the energy to hurry during the day, Zhao Xiaoxi discussed with Duan Yu and decided that he and Wu Wei would be in charge of the night duty at night. As for Duan Yu and Ba Tianshi and the others, they had a good night's rest at night to ensure that they could maintain sufficient physical strength during the day.
It is clear that when it comes to Zhao Xiaoxi's cultivation, as long as he meditates for an hour or two at night, he can ensure that he has sufficient physical strength for a whole day. During this time, in order to take care of these younger sisters, Duan Yu and the others were indeed a little exhausted.
Now that they are meeting with Zhao Xiaoxi, they also understand the ability of Zhao Xiaoxi and Wu Wei. With them on duty at night, there is no need to worry about being wiped on the neck in your sleep. After some discussion, Duan Yu was not too reluctant.
As the tent was lit up by fires, the surrounding situation was also clear. In addition, the moonlight is bright tonight, as long as the guards are on a high place, they can also see the situation a few miles away, and they don't have to worry about being touched.
Although the terrain is conducive to spotting enemies, there are no dangers to defend. In this kind of small plain, in fact, if you really encounter enemy attacks, most of them come on horseback. The enemy who plays the sneak attack of foot combat can't sneak over even if you want to.
Every place where it is easy to spot the enemy is guarded by armed guards. Once an unidentified team of horses is seen, or the sound of horses' hooves is heard. It will immediately warn the guards in the rear, leaving time for those in the rear to prepare for a counterattack.
After letting Duan Yu and the others rest, Zhao Xiaoxi deliberately went around to check and determine the light and dark sentinels of Wu Wei. There are also some traps, all of which are in place, so there is nothing more, and they return to the camp to wait for Mu Wanqing's arrival.
You must know that when everyone began to rest, Zhao Xiaoxi sent a signal to Mu Wanqing. This kind of signal is all too familiar to them. At that time, Mu Wanqing still nodded shyly.
It is clear that Mu Wanqing is going to come over, and she will have to wait until Wang Yuyan is asleep. However, Wang Yuyan, who had been on the road for a day today, would not have talked to Mu Wanqing for too long. When Wang Yuyan fell asleep, Zhao Xiaoxi could spend a good night with Mu Wanqing again.
Just when Zhao Xiaoxi was waiting for Mu Wanqing to arrive, Mu Wanqing, who lived in the same tent with Wang Yuyan, chatted with Wang Yuyan a little absentmindedly. Until she felt that Zhao Xiaoxi would definitely wait in a hurry if she continued to talk, and quickly pretended to rest.
Maybe it was because Wang Yuyan, who saw Mu Wanqing asleep and no one to talk to, also quickly slept with Yi. Not long after Wang Yuyan fell asleep, Mu Wanqing, who had fallen asleep before, quietly opened her eyes and observed Wang Yuyan's situation.
After making sure that Wang Yuyan was asleep, she cautiously got up and walked out of the tent. When she walked out of the tent and felt that the temperature outside was obviously a little colder than the tent, she soon saw Zhao Xiaoxi sitting by the fire.
Looking at the smile on the other party's face, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy does this every time, and she acts like a thief every time. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't been alone with Zhao Xiaoxi for a long time, she would definitely not agree to come out at night.
During this time in Dali, Mu Wanqing also had a lot of insomnia at night, thinking about the good and bad of this man. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi this time, although he was not the same as Zhong Ling, he cried and complained when he met, but he was also a little uneasy.
Although she knew what would happen next, Mu Wanqing still sat next to Zhao Xiaoxi. Maybe it was this long-lost embrace, or maybe it was the fire in front of him, which made Mu Wanqing, who felt a little cold before, feel warm in her heart at the moment.
Accompanied Mu Wanqing to chat a little, the pain of lovesickness after separation, and watched the moon hang high. Zhao Xiaoxi also got up directly and said, "Qing'er, let's go!" I have suffered you during this time, and I will treat you well for my husband at night. ”
What is the so-called reward in these words, Mu Wanqing can not know. Even if she is used to Zhao Xiaoxi and talking crazy about this kind of thing, her pretty face still becomes red at this moment, and her eyes are looking around for fear that someone will see all this.
At the moment when Zhao Xiaoxi walked into the tent with Mu Wanqing in his arms, Zhao Xiaoxi, who had begun to be hairy before, suddenly stopped what he was doing. Suddenly, he bent down and stuck to the ground of the tent, and his face began to become solemn! (To be continued......)
