The wind and rain gradually subsided, but those who have experienced the plum rain in Jiangnan know that this is just a short respite, and there will be more wind and rain in the days before the summer. After a few days of wind and rain, water droplets hung on the pine and bamboo in the courtyard, reflecting the bit of emerald green.

The air was filled with a cool atmosphere, and although the midsummer heat did not dissipate, it was always much better than the sultry heat in Sichuan and Shu at that time. Ye Yingwu stretched his waist, and the moon was already in the sky above his head. Wisps of clear light poured on the bluestone slabs, like flowing streams.

The bell had already blown out the lights in the study, and followed closely two steps: "Lang Jun is going to take a bath and rest now?" ”

"It's comfortable to wash, let's go boil water." Ye Yingwu frowned slightly, the air after the rain was very fresh, if Ye Yingwu had just come to this era, I am afraid that he would be moved by this fresh air that he had never seen.

The sound of footsteps outside the door suddenly sounded, and Yang Xu hurriedly came: "Envoy, there is news from Jiangbei that the Tartar scouts have advanced to the south bank of the Great River, and General Su led the various units of the Tianwu Army to hold Tianjia Town and did not dispatch. The urgent reports from Qizhou and Huangzhou should also be on the way. ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned: "Or is it a scout?" No brigade of foot soldiers? ”

"Nope. However, the Jinyi guards in Dengzhou and other places have spread the news that about three or four Mongolian thousand-man teams have been assembled one after another, and they have a great posture of going south. Several Mongolian thousand-man troops stationed in the north of Huangzhou and Qizhou were also ready to go, and if they took advantage of the night to advance, they would probably be difficult to find. Yang Xu was a little anxious, and his tone was fast.

Ye Yingwu nodded slightly: "Ah Shu still doesn't dare to do it after all." ”

"Envoy?" This time it was Yang Xu's turn to be surprised, "The Tartars have already dispatched five or six thousand troops, plus several hundred cavalry teams acting as scouts, how can they not dare to start?" ”

Ye Yingwu smiled coldly: "Could it be that Ah Shu thinks that with the strength of less than 10,000 people, he can shake the Tianwu Army?" The lessons of the previous two successive battles in Macheng and Huangzhou, I am afraid that he knows better than us in his heart. To block these Mongolian Tatars, the two compartments of the Tianwu Army are more than enough. ”

Before Yang Su could answer, Yang Bao and Jiang Tie came together, but compared with Yang Xu, the two were quite calm. Jiang Tie took a step back slightly, and Yang Bao stepped forward and said: "Envoy Qiqi, Jiangbei has sent news that a Mongolian hundred-man cavalry tried to approach Tianjia Town, but it has been repulsed, and the damage on both sides is minimal. ”

"The Mongol cavalry only tried it for a moment, and then retreated." Jiang Tie followed up and added.

Nodding, Ye Yingwu looked at the bright moon and stars in the sky: "While the wind and rain subside, it is reasonable for the Mongolian cavalry to move their muscles." I couldn't stay any longer in a hundred battles, so I dispatched 300 cavalry to cross the river immediately and find out the movements of the Mongol army in the entire Huangzhou and Qizhou! There is also a notification to General Su of Tianjia Town, the sentry cannot relax! ”

"Obey!" Yang Bao and Jiang Tie responded in unison and turned to leave.

Ye Yingwu looked at Yang Xu again: "Inform the Nankang Army in the east, Ezhou in the west, and Xiangyang in the north, although it is still impossible to see what Ah Shu wants to do, but the state capitals cannot relax." Even if they don't listen to us, a notice can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous act. ”

Yang Xu hesitated for a moment and nodded. However, Yang Xu hadn't left yet, and another figure came in a hurry. Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly: "A moment of effort, how can it be so lively here?" ”

It was Guo Chang who came, this absurd Yanei who was once played by Ye Yingwu, now has a more capable look, his miserable white skin is tanned, he opens his mouth and smiles and has white teeth, but he looks more like a young man who grew up in the countryside and mountains.

"Qi Yu envoy, Jiangbei Jinyi Wei urgently reported, the Mongolian infantry team of 1,000 people drove into Huangzhou one after another, the march is slow, according to this way, I am afraid that it will not reach Macheng tomorrow morning. Not to mention Huangzhou. Guo Chang said loudly, "But please give your command." ”

Ye Yingwu mentioned that the big stone in his throat finally landed, and Guo Chang and Yang Xu also showed relaxed looks on their faces. However, Ye Yingwu coughed lightly, and still said cautiously: "The six doors and the Jinyi Guard's manpower can also be sent out, no matter whether Ah Shu wants to hide from the sky and the sea this time, or secretly Chen Cang, we have to keep an eye on him!" ”

To tell the truth, this is really an opportunity sent by Ah Shu to train the scouts of the Tianwu Army and the Jinyi Guard, of course Ye Yingwu has to seize it. Scouts are the nose and eyes of a large army, and sometimes the success or failure of a scout battle can affect the overall situation.

"Okay, it's not too early, the order will be delivered, and you will rest early." Ye Yingwu said softly.

Watching Guo Chang and Yang Xu leave, Ye Yingwu smiled to himself, but this toss had already taken a quarter of an hour, and when he walked from the study to the backyard, the water in the pool had to be heated for the second time.

The bell smiled evilly at Ye Yingwu and ran away quickly. Ye Yingwu looked at the bell with some suspicion, the heat in the pool in front of him was steaming, and the curtains around him were hanging low, but all this could not hide a graceful figure.

Qiqin greeted him with a smile: "What's the matter, it's been delayed for so long?" ”

Stretching out his hand to hold Qiqin, Ye Yingwu smiled: "It's okay, but I'm afraid I can't sleep well tonight." If you're tired, go and rest first, and you can wash yourself. ”

Leaning on Ye Yingwu's broad embrace, Qiqin smiled softly, and her eyes were full of affection, like a glass of wine, tempting: "Since you already want to watch the tide rise and fall with your husband, at this time, how can the concubine escape from the battle?" ”

is different from the usual gentleness, the current Qiqin Jianshui Autumn Pupil is like two flames burning, wanting to melt Ye Yingwu's body and mind. On that day, the style of Lin'an Oiran should have been unreservedly displayed.

It seems that he has never felt this kind of style of Qiqin, Ye Yingwu subconsciously hugged the person in his arms, and the last silk clothes on Qiqin's body also drifted away, the jasper hairpin fell, the black hair was like a waterfall pouring down, and the two of them hugged and fell into the water, causing countless splashes.

After a long time, the water in the pool stopped rippling, the water was already a little cold, although it was the height of summer, but after all, it was after the rain, and the night breeze was very cool, Ye Yingwu kissed Qiqin Qiao lightly, and the beauty was already curled up in her arms, and the blush was not dissipated.

Without saying much, Ye Yingwu carefully wiped the water off the two of them, and then picked up his own lady, who was already weak, and walked straight to the bedroom. And watching him walk away, the bell came in with a group of handmaidens who were also red-faced.

Ye Yingwu casually put on his clothes, his eyes were wide in the night, Qiqin hugged him from behind, and his voice was soft: "Can't sleep?" ”

"Don't dare to sleep." Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly, "No matter how it is, after all, I still can't figure out Ah Shu." A certain is now gambling with him, although he feels like he is about to win, but everything is sudden, and he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case. ”

Qiqin sighed softly and sat up: "It's not like this to go on like this, can you survive a day or two, can you continue to survive?" The body is not made of iron, so let's rest first, what should come will always come, and I can't run away. ”

Turning to look at Qiqin, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile: "You can think about it." It's just that this burden is too heavy, and no one can be sure. The entire Xingzhou, the entire Tianwu Army, the 20,000 army and hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention the entire Jiangnan West Road behind, as well as the entire Great Song Dynasty. ”

Leaned up and kissed Ye Yingwu gently, Qiqin didn't say anything more, just stretched out her hand and held Ye Yingwu's hand tightly: "Then the concubine will accompany you, it's still early, is the husband planning to sit all night like this?" ”

Looking at the eyes that were rippling with soft waves close at hand, Ye Yingwu knew that Qiqin wanted to relax by herself, and then remembered Ye Yinghe's advice and entrustment about the Ye family's heirs, and naturally there was no other way to relieve tension at this time.

When did you become so well-dressed? You have to find a reasonable reason to turn over and get on the horse. Ye Yingwu smiled to himself and pounced straight up.

"You light!" Qiqin smiled and patted Ye Yingwu's back, "By the way, I'll tell you something first, I'll come later." ”

On the arrow, Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly: "What's the matter, so anxious?" ”

Qiqin stretched out her hand and stroked his cheek, knowing that her husband had endured it very hard, she couldn't help but smile: "Bell has taken a fancy to Commander Jiang Tiejiang, I don't know what Commander Jiang thinks." It's just that the husband is interested in threading the needle in this? ”

"You're going to pick the right moment, and you'll say yes to anything at this time." Ye Yingwu smiled heartily, the burden on his heart seemed to be a lot easier, these gods and horses are all floating clouds, it is important to hurry up and get down to business, "Don't worry about this, the roots of the old Ye family still have to rely on us." ”

Qiqin wanted to say something, but she was already deeply kissed by Ye Yingwu, and she could only say twice.

――――――――――――――――――

"Envoy, envoy!" There was a thunderclap cry outside.

Ye Yingwu opened his eyes in a daze, a little sunlight spilled out from the half-hidden window, and there were several hurried voices outside. Then the door was slammed open. Ye Yingwu woke up violently, and casually picked up the quilt and wrapped it around Qiqin beside him.

As for being naked・・・・・・ let's be naked.

It's just that in exchange for it, Yang Xu naturally screamed. And the bell outside the door was secretly glad that although he didn't stop the reckless Yang Xu, he didn't follow and rushed straight in, otherwise he would have seen the beautiful scenery of Jun, but how could he be embarrassed to see people again?

"You scoundrel!" Yang Xu rushed out again in a panic, her pretty face was flushed, and she couldn't help but stumble a little under her feet.

Stretching out his hand and pointing at himself, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You rushed in by yourself in the morning, why do you say that I am a scoundrel?" Wronged! ”

It's just that the bell is very faceless and said from outside the door: "Lang Jun, it's already three poles in the morning, and it can't be regarded as early in the morning." Su Niang also waited in the front yard for a while, but she really didn't see the envoy come out, so she came in recklessly. ”

Three poles in the sun? Ye Yingwu was stunned, and immediately looked at Qiqin, who was hazy and unawakened behind him, the thin quilt was wrapped around his body, outlining a beautiful curve, it was really three poles in the sun・・・・・・ scratched his head with a wry smile, Ye Yingwu said loudly: "That, bell, hurry up and close the door, let Su Niang wait outside for a while." ”

Before the words fell, Ye Yingwu reached out and patted Qiqin's buttocks: "Don't pretend to be asleep, hurry up and wait for your husband to change clothes." ”

Qiqin smiled and said: "Thanks to the husband, the concubine is really weak." The husband should be self-reliant, this can be regarded as self-retribution. ”

"Qin'er, you're not kind." Ye Yingwu smiled and pounced again.

Listening to the sound that sounded again in the room, the bell blushed and frowned: "Niangzi and Lang Jun have been tossing for half the night, why don't they stop." ”

And Yang Xu stomped his feet with hatred: "This lustful guy is so shameless that he ・・・・・・ ・・・・・・ daytime declaration!" ”

The bell smiled helplessly: "What is the important thing about Su Niang?" ”

Yang Xu snorted and walked a few steps away: "What can happen, it's not that this guy is actually alive and well, the Mongolian armies of Ashu have retreated one after another, if there is something big that pierces the sky, wouldn't it have rushed in a long time ago." ”

The bell covered his mouth and smiled: "Then didn't you rush in too?" ”

"That's because your family is chic and talented, Su Niang naturally can't help but want to see it." Ye Yingwu's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Who blamed me just now, I just kissed my mouth, and I saw what kind of big trouble you guys were doing." ”

The bell with his back to him was frightened half to death and hurriedly retreated, while Yang Xu gave him a blank look and handed a secret letter in his hand to Ye Yingwu: "Take a look for yourself, it was sent from Huangzhou this morning, and it has been confirmed in Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Xiangyang and other places." ”

Qiqin stepped forward from behind Ye Yingwu and put on his robe: "After all, it's after the rain, don't get cold, there are so many things to bear." ”

Yang Xu couldn't help but raise his head slightly, among the six doors and brocade guards, only a few women such as her and Qiong Luan were qualified to enter the back house, but even if they entered the back house, they were only in Ye Yingwu's study, so this was the first time that Yang Xu directly faced Qiqin, the famous and mysterious Lin'an Oiran.

It was really the color of the country, but there was no aggressive posture, and there was a soft air between the eyebrows, which was very different from what he imagined, and Yang Xu couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is Commander Yang, Su Niang, right? The concubine is in the back house, but she often hears that she is really a woman. Qiqin smiled lightly, although Ye Yingwu and Yang Xu are not clear about the affairs of the dog men and women, he has already figured out one or two, "Thinking about everything in life, you should be careful, and my sister is also a natural beauty, don't want Yan Qiuhong to fly around." ”

Yang Xu was slightly stunned, and then vaguely understood something, her pretty face turned red, and she subconsciously avoided the gaze of Ye Yingwu and Qiqin.

And Ye Yingwu naturally laughed, and said in a low voice: "You are considerate, aren't you afraid that there will be more people in your family and compete for favor?" ”

Qiqin smiled faintly: "Even if the concubine doesn't help her husband recruit her, her husband won't let it go, why not be a good person when you are a concubine." ”

Ye Yingwu couldn't deny it, looking at the letter in his hand, he breathed a long sigh of relief in the sun, no matter what, Ah Shu was soft again this time. The things that I have been worried about and worried about can be regarded as settled.

The two of them fought for hundreds of miles, and the surrounding state capitals were like facing a great enemy, and now it was finally over. Although Ye Yingwu and Ah Shu did not lose anything, but Ah Shu knew that he had lost, after all, Ye Yingwu guarded Tianjia Town without moving, and the Mongolian army was mobilized several times and eager to try, but he was not tempted to go north, and finally Ah Shu's strategic plan to seize the rear of Xiangyang and the lower reaches of the Han River was also in vain, after all, Ah Shu did not have the courage to let the Tianwu army ignore it, and directly captured Huangzhou, and then launched a large army to besiege Xiangyang.

Ye Yingwu and Tianwu Jun were still like a fishbone stuck in Ah Shu's throat. And Ah Shu and his 150,000 Mongolian army are also like a sharp blade in the dantian of the Southern Song Dynasty. Now both sides are looking at it coldly, silently accumulating strength.

"This toss, I'm afraid Xiangyang is going to be more lively." Ye Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and let the information that Zhang Jinyi Wei did his best to get his hands fall with the wind, "It's finally stopped here for a while, it seems that it's time to meet another person for a while, and I almost forgot about him." ”
