Chapter 961: Midnight Messenger

The saltpeter mine in the 100,000 mountains has been discovered in Dingzhou for a long time, with the smooth progress of the campaign, the technicians transferred from Dingzhou have been staying in Ningzhou, the 100,000 mountains are in obedience, these technicians immediately went straight to the saltpeter mine, Ningzhou Li Sizhi sent a garrison force to meet with the special service of the Supervision Yuan, more than ten days of effort, and began to operate, as for the manpower of the mine, the Qiang people have more manpower, as long as they pay the silver, how much they want.

There is no shortage of good materials for burning charcoal in the 100,000 mountains, and even the kiln is ready-made, and the technicians who rushed from Dingzhou to renovate the cellar immediately came in handy.

There is no iron ore and iron-smelting workshop in Ningzhou, but in Yizhou, after these years of technical guidance in Dingzhou, it can also smelt good steel, Li Qing gave an order, a large number of technicians rushed from the first arsenal immediately took over the entire Yizhou iron field, saltpeter and charcoal transported from the 100,000 mountains in Ningzhou to prepare gunpowder on the spot, and in Yizhou, the first batch of Shenwei cannons have been cast.

It was completely dark when I came back from the saltpeter mine, and the previous freezing rain finally turned into snow seeds, hitting the leaves, and the roof, and rattling, and the firewood in the house burned vigorously, and under the service of the breeze, I took a hot bath comfortably, and sat by the fire again, slowly scalding my feet, and moaning comfortably. stretched out for a long time, watching Qingfeng sit on one side and look at himself with a smile, a pair of feet placed by the fire were steaming, and the shoes that couldn't help but save the breeze should also be soaked at this time, "Come on, come on, let's burn together!" Li Qingdao.

Qingfeng shook his head and smiled: "Don't be, I'll tell them to get another basin!" ＂

Li Qingyi bent down, grabbed Qingfeng's feet, and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't trouble people, come on, just in a basin, burn together, get wet and relieve fatigue."

Looking at Qingfeng's face that was holding his feet, Li Qing couldn't help laughing, took off his shoes for Qingfeng, and suddenly shouted, "God, what's the matter, I don't see you say anything?" "The snow-white socks were stained with a little blood, showing that the feet were worn out.

Hurriedly ripped off his socks, looked at Qingfeng's delicate little feet, and couldn't help but gasp, there were seven or eight blisters large and small, not counting the ones that had been worn out, and the feet were full of blood.

"I walked for a day today, I was careless! Li Qing was full of apologies, "I didn't expect you to be able to walk at all, and it's such a difficult mountain road, so are you, why don't you say it?" Holding Qingfeng's little feet, Li Qing blamed.

twitched his legs, but was held very tightly by Li Qing, Qingfeng gave up his efforts, "It's rare to walk with the general, since we left Chongxian, there are almost no days like this, not to mention that it's just a broken foot, even if the leg is broken, Qingfeng won't squeak."

"You, you're always such a stubborn character." Li Qing shook his head, "The days will be long in the future, and when the war is over, there will be time together.

"What? ＂

"Pick these blisters up! Li Qingdao said: "Otherwise, you won't be able to fall to the ground tomorrow. Come, hurry up, hand me the hairpin." Li Qing looked down at the blisters on his feet, but one hand stretched out.

Pull out the silver hairpin on his head, put it in Li Qing's hand, watched Li Qing hold the silver hairpin, lowered his head and concentrated on picking the blisters on his feet for himself, Qingfeng's nose was sore, and tears suddenly filled his eyes.

"That's it! Li Qing tilted his head, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, backhanded, but inserted the hairpin into his head, and carefully held Qingfeng's feet with both hands, "There is some pain next, but you endure it." After speaking, Qingfeng's feet were slowly soaked in hot water, and then he raised his head.

"Pain, right? You see you're crying in pain! Li Qing smiled: "It's good to be patient, look at it, you look like the frightening president of the Dingzhou Supervision Yuan, the famous white fox?" ＂

Qingfeng looked at Qingfeng in a daze, but the tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow out.

"What's wrong with you? Li Qing finally sensed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

"General, I don't want to be a famous white fox, if I have a choice, I'd rather be a little woman who is always at home waiting for your return! ＂

The smile on Li Qing's face slowly faded, he slowly stood up, stepped on the ground barefoot, walked over, and hugged Qingfeng's head in his arms, "We don't have a choice, Yunxi, I think, if time can be repeated, we will still make this choice, right?" ＂

Wrapping his arms around Li Qing, Qingfeng buried his face in Li Qing's chest, his shoulders shrugged, and tried his best to suppress his voice, yes, even if he did it again, there would be no other choice.

The night is deep, the snow seeds outside the window have stopped for some time, the firewood in the house is crackling, Li Qing half leaned on the bed, looking at the sleeping breeze, listening to her even breathing, but her heart is full of regret, everything this woman hopes for in her heart, but she is destined to be unable to give her in this life.

Knock, two soft knocks suddenly sounded outside the window, "Lord, are you asleep?" ＂

Li Qing glanced out the window in surprise, gently took off Qingfeng's arm holding him, tucked it into his back, and turned over and got out of bed, maybe he was tired from walking too much during the day, maybe he was with Li Qing, which could completely relax Qingfeng's nervous collapse, Qingfeng turned over, and fell asleep deeply.

Walking to the window, Li Qing asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ＂

"My lord, Lord Dingzhou Road sent 100,000 people to deliver an urgent letter."

"What happened in Dingzhou? Li Qing's face changed and he opened the window. Look out the window at the guards.

"I don't know. The Messenger is still waiting ahead. Said that Lord Lu's letter must be handed over to the lord himself."

Li Qing hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and walked to the door, "Lead the way."

Seeing the messenger sitting in the side hall, Li Qing was taken aback, "Wu Gui, why are you?" ＂

Wu Gui stood up, saluted Li Qing, and said, "Lord, Lord Lu is not worried about someone else sending this secret letter, so let me come, and tell me that this letter cannot be seen by anyone except the lord."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing immediately sensed the seriousness of the matter, "What's wrong?" While sitting down, he asked Wu Gui.

Wu Gui's eyes were red, and his voice was a little choked, "Lord, my sister, my sister almost died this time."

Li Qingteng stood up, "What's wrong with Bao'er?" What happened? She is in the palace, what can happen? ＂

Wu Gui took out a letter sealed with fire paint from the package, handed it to Li Qing, and said, "All the things have happened, Master Lu has written them in the letter."

Li Qing glanced at Wu Gui suspiciously, and tore open the fire paint with a bang, and Lu Yiming's familiar font immediately jumped into his eyes.

With a bang, Li Qing overturned the table beside him, anger in his eyes, "Crazy. Lu Yiming did the right thing, Tang Hu also did a good job, where is Bao'er now? ＂

"General Tang sent my sister to my parents' house, arranged for the Dingzhou garrison to be on guard day and night, and no one was allowed to step into the hospital, and at the same time, the Huan Divine Doctor was also taken there." Wu Gui said in a low voice.

Li Qing gasped heavily, "In this way, Bao'er is not in danger for the time being?" Is the fetus in the womb good? ＂

"Doctor Huan said, this time is also a coincidence, if it is two more nights, even if there is no problem with that fall, the Ning Shenxiang in my sister's house will harm the fetus in the womb."

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Li Sizhi and the others hurried over, "Lord, I heard that a messenger came to Dingzhou, I don't know what happened to Dingzhou, does it matter?" ＂

Li Sizhi was disheveled, and it seemed that he had just received the news and hurried over.

Li Qing quietly took the letter into his arms, shook his head and said: "It's nothing serious, uncle doesn't have to worry, so let's do it, anyway, it's almost dawn, I'll leave first, the personal guard camp will follow me, and we will go back to Dingzhou."

Li Sizhi looked at Li Qing, his face was full of doubts, since it was not important, why was he in a hurry to return to Dingzhou? "Then, let's go together! ＂

Li Qing smiled, "No need, uncle, you are tired for a day during the day, it is not too late to rest here and wait for dawn before leaving, oh, by the way, Qingfeng has a foot injury, and it is not suitable to hurry, so let her also recuperate here for two days before leaving."

Li Sizhi still wanted to say something, but just as he spoke, Li Qing had already interrupted him, "Uncle, the settlement of the Qiang tribe in the 100,000 mountains, as well as saltpeter mines and charcoal workshops, these things are very important for our operations next year, tomorrow you and Qingfeng will add up, how can you improve the efficiency a little and produce more gunpowder to supply to the front line?" As soon as the cannon goes off, the gunpowder will be used up like running water, and there must be no shortage of supply. That's it, Wu Gui, let's go."

Watching Li Qing stride away, Li Sizhi's face showed a worried look.

The sky was bright, the breeze stretched lazily, turned over, but touched an empty hand in his hand, opened his eyes, and there was no one around, "I haven't slept like this for a long time!" Qingfeng laughed to himself, got up and put on his clothes, leaned on the pillow and fell asleep for a while, and then got up and began to wash.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Xia Xue called softly outside, "Miss, are you awake?" ＂

"Come in! Qingfeng said: "It's early."

Xia Xue pushed the door in, and Qingfeng asked, "The general went out so early?" ＂

Xia Xue had a strange expression on her face, "Miss, in the early hours of yesterday morning, the lord went down the mountain and went back to Dingzhou."

"What do you say? "Why didn't you notify me?" ＂

Xia Xue lowered her head, "The lord said that Miss was too tired yesterday, so we were not allowed to worry about you, and said that I would let you have a good rest."

"What happened last night? ＂

"I don't know! Xia Xue shook her head and said, "It's just that Captain Wu Gui and Wu suddenly came from Dingzhou yesterday, and General Ranlai decided to return to Dingzhou immediately."

"Something must have happened! The breeze muttered.

"Miss, then let's leave for Dingzhou immediately! "Xia Xue Dao.

Qingfeng shook his head, "Wait a minute, no matter what happens, in the next day or two, there should be news from the Supervision Yuan, and when we figure out the situation, we will go back."
