Chapter 224 Please, Don't Break It All Six Thousand Words, Big Chapter
On the second day when the Gu Yue family and the Su Yuan family officially decided on a family affair, Wei Jiuxiao left the imperial city with Yu Miaomiao.
This time, they traveled in micro-clothes, and even the guards who followed them changed into the clothes of ordinary families.
Ming Ruyan prepared the carriage, and Yu Miaomiao noticed that the old man in Picasso's painting was also with them.
"Where are we going?" Yu Miaomiao asked Mei Ruhua in private.
"Baijia Town." Mei Ruhua was concentrating on studying the things in his hand, and he couldn't even let go of his gadgets in the carriage, "The prince is going to track down his father's disappearance." ”
Wei Jiuxiao's father has been regarded as a rebel by Fengguo for so many years, and he originally had no chance to turn over, but Wei Jiuxiao's identity is different in the eyes of the little emperor now, and he can sit on the throne to a large extent because of Wei Jiuxiao, so he happily responded to Wei Jiuxiao's request.
The carriage headed north, and it took more than two months to reach its destination.
Yu Miaomiao got out of the carriage and looked around.
Baijia Town is located in a remote area, and it is said to be a town, but it is actually a larger village.
The town is dilapidated and war-torn at first glance.
Many of the houses were charred black from the burning fires.
"This place has been captured by the enemy several times, and then it was recaptured by the soldiers of the Feng Kingdom, so there are fewer and fewer residents here, but everyone who has some ability has fled." Mei Ruhua twisted her beard and sighed.
The temperature in the north is much cooler than in the Imperial City. Sometimes it rains for several days in a row, and the sky is gloomy, and although the rain is not heavy, people will feel uncomfortable when their clothes are wet.
However, none of these posed any threat to Miao Miao.
She is not afraid of hot and cold.
Ming Ruyan sent someone to rent a few vacant rooms in the town early, packed up in advance and waited for them to arrive.
They rested in the town for two days.
This morning, when Yu Miaomiao was still sleeping in the bed, she was dragged out by a pair of big hands.
"When?" She opened her eyes sleepily.
"The sun is on the ass." Wei Jiuxiao's gaze fell on her loose collar, but quickly moved away and threw her clothes over, "Hurry up, I'll be waiting for you." ”
"Wait for me?" Yu Miaomiao's brain was not very clear, "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”
"Go up the mountain."
Yu Miaomiao put on her clothes in a daze, was dragged out of the door by Wei Jiuxiao, and was lifted on the horse.
It wasn't until they got up the mountain road that she understood.
It turned out that the battlefield where Wei Jiuxiao's father disappeared was on the other side of the mountain.
Wei Jiuxiao and the others spent half a day climbing over the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, the mountains on the opposite side are stacked on top of each other, with a thick fog, and a faint sense of foreboding.
"Is it a ghost?" Yu Miaomiao could also sense that the aura here was not quite right.
Mei Ruhua looked at the thick mountain fog in the distance, and sighed, "There have been many deaths here, and I am angry. ”
Yu Miaomiao's gaze turned to Wei Jiuxiao and landed on his left hand.
It was not easy to expel the ghost qi of his left hand, so he won't be contaminated with anything unclean here.
"Don't worry about the prince." Mei Ruhua said proudly, "The prince still has the talisman I refined, and a hundred ghosts will not invade." ”
Yu Miaomiao relieved herself, "What about the others?" ”
Ming Ruyan and they are all ordinary people, and they will inevitably be contaminated by ghosts.
"They all have the charms I drew on them, and this level of ghost energy will be fine."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a shaking of the trees on the opposite side.
"What people!" The guards shouted.
Wei Jiu Xiaole stopped his horse, and Yu Miaomiao stretched out her head curiously to look behind the bushes.
The rustling leaves swayed, and a man with a medicine basket emerged from behind the bushes.
One of the guards jumped off his horse and drew his sword against the man.
The man with the medicine basket on his back looked at Wei Jiuxiao and the others in surprise.
"Who are you?"
Yu Miaomiao saw that the man was covered with a thick felt, and his hair was tied with a wooden hairpin on his head, and he looked like a villager in the town below.
Although the man was held against the guard's sword, there was no fear in his eyes.
"Who are you?" The guard asked the other party, "Why are you sneaking around here?" ”
The strange man looked around at everyone, and when he saw Yu Miaomiao sitting in Wei Jiuxiao's arms, he withdrew his gaze, "I'm a doctor, collecting medicine around here." ”
"Doctor?" Ming Ruyan whispered as if remembering something, "I remember that someone in the town once said that there was a strange doctor living on the mountain, and he knew the location of the battlefield back then. ”
Wei Jiuxiao's eyes moved slightly, and he said to the man, "Do you know that there was a battlefield where you fought with the enemy army back then?" ”
The strange man didn't answer Wei Jiuxiao's words immediately, but looked at him. "There's a lot of ghostly aura there, so you'd better not get close."
"We have people here who are proficient in soul mastery, so you don't have to worry about that." Wei Jiuxiao pointed at Mei Ruhua.
When he saw Mei Ruhua, the strange man's expression froze.
Yu Miaomiao noticed that his face had changed.
"What are you afraid of, we can't harm you." She said.
The man hesitated for a moment, "It's not that I don't want to take you there, it's that our general has a strange temper, and she doesn't like outsiders to enter the camp." ”
"General?" Yu Miaomiao's eyes widened in surprise, "Is there still a garrison here?" ”
The man replied vaguely, "Since you want to go, then come with me, but if the general doesn't like you to stay, please leave quickly, don't make trouble." ”
Wei Jiuxiao's expression was solemn and he arched his hand to him.
The men led the way, and the group followed behind over the hill and into the valley below.
"There's a camp there!" Yu Miaomiao saw some simple stone houses made of stones exposed behind the bushes in front of her.
"Wait a minute, I'll go and show the general." The man said.
Without waiting for Wei Jiuxiao to speak, the man walked quickly into a stone house.
Wei Jiuxiao got off the horse and was about to turn around and pick Yu Miaomiao off the horse, when she jumped down and jumped to the ground easily.
"It doesn't look like it's inhabited." She muttered.
Wei Jiuxiao didn't answer, he just glanced at the ground.
The ground is overgrown with weeds, some of which can reach up to the knees.
Ming Ruyan quietly leaned over, "Lord Wang, do you want me to take someone around for a while?" ”
In other words, he was also uneasy about it.
Wei Jiuxiao was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a man come out of the stone house, followed by a woman in battle armor behind him.
"This is General Bai." The man introduced.
Wei Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at General Bai.
The woman happily hugged her fists to Wei Jiuxiao and the others, "I'm Bai Yue, in fact, I'm just a deputy general, don't listen to Ding Sanping's nonsense, our general has not come back before the battle, you want to find him, you can rest in the camp first." ”
The man known as Ding Sanping walked over with a wry smile. "I'll arrange a place for you to rest, it's a bit messy here, you will just have some."
Yu Miaomiao was still looking at the white general, but Wei Jiuxiao took her arm and followed Ding Sanping to a stone house next to the camp.
"You're going to live here first." Ding Sanping stood at the door and said, "Without General Bai's order, you are not allowed to walk around without permission, if you need anything, just tell me, I will be in the stone house next to you." ”
After Ding Sanping left. Yu Miaomiao looked at the stone house.
There was a lot of dead grass on the ground, all of which had been trampled on, and it felt good to walk on it.
There were no beds in the stone house, and between the two stones were a long wooden plank, covered with a cowhide.
Yu Miaomiao went over and tried to sit on the "bed".
The planks creaked with a cacophony of sounds.
Yu Miaomiao pursed her lips.
With this thickness, it's okay for her to sleep on it, if she changes to Wei Jiuxiao...... It is estimated that it will be broken all at once.
Wei Jiuxiao was not interested in everything in the stone house, he came to the door and said something to Ming Ruyan.
Yu Miaomiao finished "visiting" and followed to the door in the house. I saw that Ding Sanping had placed all the subordinates that Wei Jiuxiao had brought with him in a stone house near the outside of the camp.
"With so many empty houses, it seems that there aren't many people in this camp." Yu Miaomiao muttered.
When Wei Jiuxiao and Ming Ruyan heard this, they glanced at each other.
Yu Miaomiao noticed that their expressions were strange, and she was puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?" ”
"No, the princess has a keen sense." Ming Ruyan said with a smile, "Although this is a camp, it is indeed as the princess said, it does not look like there is a garrison." ”
It's not just these empty stone houses. There were also weeds growing on the ground, and everywhere they showed desolation, and they saw no soldiers or soldiers in the camp.
Not far away, Ding Sanping brought out a small stove, and hung an iron bucket on it, boiling something.
Yu Miaomiao walked over generously, "What are you cooking?" ”
Ding Sanping squatted by the bucket, throwing various sun-dried grass blades or rhizomes into the bucket from time to time.
Yu Miaomiao sniffed with her nose, "This is an herb?" ”
"It's a medicinal soup, for the wounded." Ding San didn't raise his head and said.
Yu Miaomiao rolled up her sleeves happily, "I'll help you." ”
Ding Sanping was stunned, "No." He dodged her hand.
"What are you afraid of, I won't ask you for wages." Yu Miaomiao didn't allow him to object, grabbed the hay in front of him and put it in a bucket.
"No...... Too much. Ding Sanping grabbed her wrist in a hurry.
Wei Jiuxiao couldn't help frowning when she saw Ding Sanping and Yu Miaomiao's hands clasped together.
He was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Bai Yue coming out of the stone house in the distance, and saw Ding Sanping and Yu Miaomiao pulling and pulling, and couldn't help laughing: "Ding Sanping." You're a useless person, and you can't move when you see a pretty girl. ”
Ding Sanping embarrassed Yu Miaomiao, "This girl just wants to help me cook medicine, you don't have to talk nonsense." ”
Bai Yue strode over, the armor on his body emitting a weak white light in the faint sunlight of the deep valley.
"You don't need these activities in the camp, the battle ahead is tight, don't walk around." Bai Yue said to Miao Miao.
Yu Miaomiao looked at the armor on Bai Yue's body, a little envious.
A female general or something, handsome, she also likes this tone.
"General Bai, is the armor on your body made of iron, it's heavy, right?" Yu Miaomiao said and stretched out her hand to touch Bai Yue.
Before her hand touched Bai Yue's body, Ding Sanping suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed her wrist.
Yu Miaomiao was taken aback.
She didn't expect Ding Sanping to have so much strength, and her fingers hurt when she pinched them.
"Let it go!" Yu Miaomiao couldn't help but scream.
"Ding Sanping, you guy is really getting more and more presumptuous." Bai Yue said angrily, reaching out to grab Ding Sanping.
Ding Sanping let go of Yu Miaomiao abruptly, "I was rude just now, I'll go back and prepare the rest of the medicinal materials first...... He hid directly in the stone house.
Bai Yue chased into the house with a black face.
Yu Miaomiao rubbed her wrists, and she was embarrassed to catch up and look at it again.
Thinking about it, Bai Yue must have taught Ding Sanping a good lesson.
Wei Jiuxiao came over at some point, raised his hand and grabbed Yu Miaomiao's wrist, "Does it hurt?" ”
Yu Miaomiao nodded with a bitter face, "Fortunately, I didn't expect this guy to have so much strength, I just wanted to touch the armor on Bai Yue's body, and it wasn't a chest attack, so it scared him." It's not his girlfriend......"
Yu Miaomiao muttered, and suddenly showed a sudden look, "I'll go, I thought of it!" ”
"What?" Wei Jiuxiao rubbed her wrist lightly with her fingers, and the place where Ding Sanping had pinched it was slightly red.
"That doctor, he can't have a crush on General Bai, right?"
Looking at the blank expressions of Ming Ruyan and the others behind her, Yu Miao was anxious.
"Why, you don't believe it!"
"No......" Ming Ruyan and the others were puzzled, "Princess, you said." Where do you want to go? ”
"Oh, I'm not going anywhere."
"Then you just said you were going?"
"I'm going, I'm not going anywhere!"
"Princess, are you going or not?"
Despair, I can't tell these people clearly!
But she dared to bet on five cents of spicy strips, that doctor must be interested in Bai Yue.
At this moment, a dark cloud obscured the sunlight, and the sky over the deep valley was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
Not far away, the figure of a soldier faintly flashed, mixed with the chaotic shouting.
Yu Miaomiao didn't even see where these people came from.
Bai Yue and Ding Sanping came out of the stone house.
"General White!" A soldier who reported the news ran in the distance, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "The patrol has found the enemy, and they are already coming this way!" ”
"Want to sneak attack?" Bai Yue smiled proudly, "The general has not returned before the battle with his troops, we must not lose the camp, otherwise when the general comes back, what will we see him." ”
The soldiers gathered one after another.
Bai Yue lined up his troops and looked calm.
Yu Miaomiao looked at it from afar, envious and nervous.
"Wei Jiuxiao, can General Bai really repel the enemy army?"
They are also in the camp, if there is a clash between the two armies. They will also be caught up in it.
Wei Jiuxiao didn't respond to her question for a long time.
Yu Miaomiao looked up in surprise.
Wei Jiuxiao pursed her lips tightly, and the expression in her eyes was complicated.
"Wei Jiuxiao?" She tugged at him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"It's fine." Wei Jiuxiao came back to her senses at this time, "You go in." ”
"What about you?" Yu Miaomiao tugged at his sleeve and refused to let go.
It's no joke in front of the two armies.
Wei Jiuxiao stood still and didn't move.
At this moment, Ding Sanping walked over, "How many ...... Please hurry into the stone house and take shelter, or...... It's too late for you to leave. ”
"Leave?" Wei Jiuxiao spat out two words from between her lips, sounding a little stiff.
"Not bad." Ding Sanping raised his hand and pointed to the side of the mountain road. "You go along this road, as long as you climb over this mountain, it will be safe, and now while the enemy army has not arrived, you still have time to go, otherwise you will only make trouble for General Bai if you stay here."
In the sky, clouds rolled.
It's like someone has poked a hole in the sky and can collapse at any moment.
Ding Sanping stared at Wei Jiuxiao with a serious expression, and Yu Miaomiao felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, as if Wei Jiuxiao didn't agree to leave. Ding Sanping was going to do something to them.
Yu Miaomiao looked at Wei Jiuxiao's face, and wanted to speak, but felt that it was not suitable.
How could Wei Jiuxiao, such a proud person, allow himself to escape at this time.
Wei Jiuxiao turned his head towards her, "Fish fry." ”
"yes, I understand." Yu Miaomiao greeted him with a smile and hugged his waist, "I know you want to ......"
Go fight, ghost paw, that's a man's fate!
"Let's go."
Belch?
Yu Miaomiao bit her tongue.
She heard her right, that's really it...... Let's go?
What about the heroes who said good? What about men's pride!
Wei Jiuxiao didn't allow her to continue in a daze. Grab her by the arm, lead the group to their horses, and leave the camp along the rough mountain road.
Yu Miaomiao sat on the horse and looked back at the mountain from time to time.
At the bottom of the valley, the clouds gradually expanded, as if to envelop the entire valley.
Faintly, Yu Miaomiao heard the sound of fighting.
Really fought?
She looked down the mountain, trying to see what was going on.
Wei Jiuxiao grabbed the war horse, and everyone behind him also stopped.
The fighting in the deep valley became more and more intense, and the sky was raining fiercely, and even though they were halfway up the mountain, they could still see the silver sparks emerging from the staggering of soldiers.
Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath, and her blood boiled when she saw it this time.
The ancient battlefield is really scary, either you die or I die.
At first, Miao Miao was a little worried that there would be enemies to catch up when they stood here.
But as the rain became heavier, a fire broke out in the camp in the deep valley.
Yu Miaomiao sat on horseback, stretching her neck anxiously to look.
Such a big fire...... Can General Bai really be able to defeat those enemy troops?
It rained heavily all night, but the fire in the deep valley grew stronger and more fierce, and it was not until the sky was light in the east that it gradually went out.
Everyone was drenched in the rain on the mountain all night, and Mei Ruhua couldn't support it anymore, and sneeze from time to time.
Yu Miaomiao is not afraid at all, she doesn't blink when she sits in the refrigerator all night.
Wei Jiuxiao waited until the mountain was completely quiet before pulling the reins in his hand.
"Go down." He spat out two words dryly.
Yu Miaomiao was a little uneasy.
Go back now, will you encounter enemy troops?
Wei Jiuxiao seemed to sense that she was a little nervous, and lowered her head and knocked on the door of her head, "Don't worry, you won't encounter enemy troops." ”
"How do you know there won't be enemy troops?" Yu Miaomiao felt that he was sometimes too confident, but she couldn't help but believe him.
"Because...... There were no enemy troops in the first place. Wei Jiuxiao said inexplicably.
Yu Miaomiao's eyes were dumbfounded.
What is there no enemy army in the first place, why can't you make it clear, bullying her is a fish, is she small-brained?
Everyone returned to the bottom of the mountain, and when they saw the camp, Yu Miaomiao was stunned.
The camp was as quiet as they had been before, and nothing had changed.
The ground was covered with knee-high weeds, and the stone houses were silent in the glimmer of dawn.
Not to mention the enemy, not even half a figure can be seen, there are no traces of a fight on the ground, and last night's fire did not leave any scorch marks here.
"Is it my eyes?" She rubbed her eyes vigorously.
"It's not." Wei Jiuxiao dismounted.
This time, Yu Miaomiao did not jump off by herself, but honestly fell to the ground by him.
When her arm touched him, she felt a chill on his body.
Even if she is not afraid of the cold, his body is usually hot and comfortable to hold, but he looks uncomfortable now.
"Wei Jiuxiao, are you okay?" Yu Miaomiao asked in a low voice.
"Nothing." Wei Jiuxiao walked towards the stone house where Ding Sanping lived before.
When I came to the door of the stone house. Wei Jiuxiao stopped.
"Come out, Dr. Ding." Wei Jiuxiao said coldly.
After a while, Ding Sanping came out of it, his eyes were cold and his expression was haggard.
"Why are you back again?"
Wei Jiuxiao looked around, "If we don't come back, how will we know what you are playing here." ”
Ding Sanping's eyes flashed with anger at first, and then suddenly relaxed.
"Well, I already knew that this day would come sooner or later."
Yu Miaomiao was confused when she heard it in the back.
"Didn't the enemy attack last night? Why is it like nothing has happened here? She asked Ding Sanping.
"Because ......," Ding Sanping's lips showed bitterness.
Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a cheerful female voice in the distance.
"Ding Sanping!"
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Bai Yue walking over here wearing armor and carrying a sword at his waist.
Ding Sanping's lips twitched twice, "This is ...... General White. ”
Bai Yue happily hugged his fist to Wei Jiuxiao and the others, "I'm Bai Yue, in fact, I'm just a deputy general, don't listen to Ding Sanping's nonsense, our general led the troops before the battle and hasn't come back yet." If you want to find him, you can rest in the camp first. ”
Wait a minute, why is this so familiar, didn't Bai Yue already say it once when they came before, why does she look like she doesn't know them now.
Ding Sanping lowered his head and said, "I'll arrange a place for you to rest, it's a bit messy here, and you will have some." ”
Yu Miaomiao was completely on the verge of petrification.
Did she find the time machine, or did there was something wrong with these people, why did they say exactly the same thing as yesterday, and...... Even here everything is the same as yesterday.
Yu Miaomiao looked at Wei Jiuxiao.
But I saw that his eyes were dark, and his eyes were full of sorrow.
A bold thought suddenly flashed through Yu Miaomiao's mind.
Could it be......
She reached out to touch the white moon.
"Stop!" Ding Sanping stopped, his voice hoarse and despairing.
Yu Miaomiao's hand stopped in mid-air.
"Please......" Ding Sanping looked at her beggingly, "don't ...... Don't break it all. ”
Bai Yue said angrily, "Ding Sanping, you guy is really getting more and more presumptuous. ”
Ding Sanping dodged Bai Yue's hand, left a desperate glance at Yu Miaomiao, and hid in the stone house.
Bai Yue also chased in.
Yu Miaomiao followed without hesitation.
Inside the stone house. Only Ding Sanping stood there stupidly.
The white moon is nowhere to be seen.
