When I returned to the house, the fat girl told me that Wu Feng was back and was anxious to see me. I took off my robe and handed it to her, straightened my clothes, and walked briskly towards the study.

Wu Feng is so anxious to see me, could it be that the monarch has already decided to send troops to attack Jin?

"General, are you looking for me?" I took off my mud-stained shoes and went into the study with my socks on.

"You're here just in time, come and see Doctor Baili!" Wu Feng beckoned to me.

The Baili clan is the descendant of the Wuqi doctor Baili Xi, and has been a famous family of the Qin State since the time of Mu Gong. In the Qin State, although Wu Feng held military power, he was a Chu person after all, and his foundation was not deep. For more than ten years, he has been able to earn a piece of the world in the Qin State, in addition to the relationship between Gongzili, this Baili doctor is also extremely important to him.

"Hello Doctor Baili!" I bowed on my knees.

"Good, I haven't seen the child grow more and more charming in a few years."

"Brother Xi Ran has won the award, Ah Shi doesn't understand the rules, and I will ask you to discipline you more in the future."

When I was eight years old, when Dr. Baili saw me for the first time, he asked the general for me. In the end, although he was politely refused, as long as he came to the house in the days that followed, I always used the excuse to avoid it. It's a bit embarrassing to avoid today.

"Zizhao, you see, after so many years, this kid still doesn't like me, his brows are so tight!" Doctor Baili looked at me and smiled.

"It's okay if I don't like you, as long as I can be close to your noble daughter." After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed, and I could only laugh a few times.

"Although my family's red medicine has been pampered since childhood, it can be called Shude now that he has grown up. Ah Shi is well-behaved and sensible, and the two of them will definitely be able to support each other in the future. ”

"Just like you and me, we share blessings and hardships."

"Yes, blessings and hardships are the same! Hahaha, seven days later, Baili Mansion will send a car to pick up people, Zizhao can rest assured this time! ”

"There is Brother Ran!"

"Don't worry!"

Doctor Baili seemed to be in a good mood, and although Wu Feng was full of smiles, he always felt a little less angry.

When Wu Feng sent Doctor Baili away, I still knelt on the spot stupidly.

"But you didn't figure it out?"

"Please show the general!"

"I'm going west soon, and during this time, I asked Brother Xi Ran to take care of you on your behalf."

"I don't need anyone to take care of me, I want to stay in the house!" I replied stubbornly.

"The army of Wu is almost to the eastern border of the Jin Kingdom, and the crown prince has also led the army to the battle. In order to prevent the Rong people in the west from taking advantage of the chaos to attack, the monarch has ordered me to lead the army to garrison. As soon as the war is about to break out, I will take all the guards in the house with me, in case there are displaced people entering the house and looting in the turmoil, how can you tell me to leave you here alone? ”

"Then you take me?" I reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his robe, "I'm not afraid of the cold and miserable, as long as I stay with you." ”

Wu Feng sighed, held my shoulders, and said softly: "What stupid things to say, the sword halberd on the battlefield has no eyes, and carrying you will only distract me." Hongyao is the daughter of Baili's, five years older than you. You haven't had any other playmates since you were a child, so you should take this opportunity to meet some noble girls from other families. ”

His expression and tone were unusually determined, and I knew that even if I continued to insist, I would not be able to change his decision.

"I'm leaving in seven days, do you have anything you want to do in the next few days? Tomorrow, I'll take you to Weishui to dig ice? Or, do you want to go hunting in the cliffs? ”

"I don't want to go. When will you be back? "My chest was tight and I couldn't breathe.

"It will take three months at the earliest, and once Qin and Jin start a war, it will be unknown."

"Can't you really take me with you?" I looked up at him aggrievedly.

"A ......"

"Okay, I got it." In the face of the upcoming parting, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, so I had to hold his arm to calm my panicked heart, "Once the soldier is gone, you have to come back as soon as possible, I will wait for you in Yongcheng." In case Sijon comes, you should also be very careful. ”

"Okay." Although Wu Feng smiled, the two sword eyebrows frowned together unconsciously, "On the days when I am away, you take good care of yourself, you know?" Don't ask me to go into battle to kill the enemy, I still have you in my heart. ”

"I know." My nose was sore, Wu Feng pulled out the arm that was held tightly by me, and gently pressed my head: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Wu Feng received the order to the imperial border, so the sacrifice at the end of the year was canceled. The house suddenly became idle, and the servants in the backyard were somewhat lost. At this time, another courtyard of the General's Mansion was lively and busy because of the departure of the head of the family.

You Yu and all the guards are going to travel with the army this time. The soldiers, who had been holding back in Yongcheng for more than half a year, heard that they could return to the border to fight against the Rong people, and they all seemed to be in good spirits.

Yu Di is a junior sergeant in the palace, and it stands to reason that it is not his turn to travel with the army, but I know that he is bent on making meritorious contributions, so before he came to beg me, he had already made Wu Feng extraordinarily accommodating and allowed him to enter the traveling team. Some people have a fire hidden in their hearts, and if they can't burn wantonly on the battlefield, one day they will burn themselves and others.

On the contrary to Yu Di, after hearing that he didn't have to travel with Wu Feng, Wuxian jumped up and down happily. Seeing his happiness, I couldn't help but think, if two years later, he and Yu Di asked me to kill the enemy, what should I do, will I let him go?

No, I won't say yes! Innocence does not need fame and glory in this life, peace and prosperity are enough.

For the next seven days, Wu Feng would come to the courtyard to accompany me whenever he was free, roast the fire with me, and say some inconsequential words. It has only been a few days since he came back from the state of Wu, and now he has to lead troops to garrison the western border, and he seems to have aged several years all of a sudden in the past few days, and even the eyes of me always have a trace of sadness.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and before Wu Feng led the troops out of the city, the carriage of Baili Mansion had already arrived at the door.

Si'er still hasn't come back yet, so the fat girl packed a few clothes for me and went to Baili Mansion with me.

Now, with the only person I need to say goodbye, I don't know how to say it.

"This is the multi-seed fish we caught in Weishui this summer, I took salt and tulip stains, and the yellow seeds in the belly of the dried fish are the most crispy, and it goes well with your chestnut rice. Also, I made this mulberry wine from the mulberry fruit in your yard, so you can taste it too. "I knelt beside Wu Feng and prepared vegetables for him, but his hand holding the food chopstick did not move.

"Seedy fish, chestnut rice, mulberry wine, this meal is what you used to say, 'Zi Gui, Zi Gui, Yunhu will not return?'" Wu Feng turned his head, and as soon as I saw his sad eyes, a layer of mist immediately appeared in my eyes.

Zi returns, Zi returns, Yunhu does not return? The first two words are the name of the meal, but the last sentence was added by myself.

Many years ago, my aunt and I begged for a living, and we inevitably had to eat some rotten and moldy food. Whenever I cried and refused to eat, my mother would feed me while smiling and describing some delicious meals to me. These meals will have a name in her mouth, wine-stained dried multi-seed fish, freshly ground chestnut flour steamed yellow rice rice, and slightly sweet and sour mulberry wine, which is called "Zigui". I knew that she was waiting for my father until she died, but he never showed up. Now that the man in my heart is also going to leave me, when will he return to me?

I bowed my head and wept so hard that tears fell into the glass in front of me.

Wu Feng raised his head and sighed, and took me into his arms: "Xiao'er, you look like this, how can I leave with peace of mind?" I promised you, as soon as the war is over, I will go to Baili Mansion to pick you up immediately. ”

"You're not going to break your word?" I looked up at him with tears in my eyes.

"How could I have lied to you?"

"Well, I believe you." I took a deep breath, took out a dark red sachet from my arms and handed it to him, choked up, and said, "Xisai is freezing in the sky, and Yitan said that it has the function of warding away cold and evil spirits with a little angelica." This spring, I picked madder grass and dyed two feet of red Luo and stayed in the house. I made this sachet the day before yesterday, and this time I can only accompany you on my behalf. ”

"Ink-colored hibiscus ......" Wu Feng gently rubbed the two parallel hibiscus on the sachet with his thumb, and for a long time, his long finger tucked it into his arms, "Now you are at ease?" ”

"Noble girl, the people from Baili Mansion are here again." The fat girl yelled outside the door.

"Go ahead, don't keep the people in their house waiting." Wu Feng let go of the hand that was around me.

I got up and bowed to him, kowtowed, and said, "Farewell to the general, pray for the general's early return!" ”

"Let's go......" Wu Feng lowered his eyes and picked up the red lacquer amphora on the case, raised his head and drank the turbid wine mixed with my tears. Then, don't look at me again.
