Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (7b)

"Cui'er is getting older, too!" Seeing that her hint fell into the void again, Qian'er couldn't help but repeat in a low voice, "She has been with me for so many years, if she leaves all of a sudden, it will be like missing an arm!" ”

"Then you will find her a husband who is close to her, like the wife of a big cow. Feel free to come to our house and talk to you! Li Xu had never had such a place for trivial things in his heart, so he smiled and replied.

"I picked a few for her, and she couldn't look at any of them. You have to marry a responsible hero. Ying'er glanced at her husband with disgust, not understanding why the other party was so unenlightened, "But in these years, there are many heroes, but there are not many who are really responsible!" ”

Li Xu was looking down at a piece of mille-feuille cake, and he didn't notice the change in his wife's demeanor at all. Stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the pastry and put it in front of Ying'er, Wen Yan persuaded: "Then wait a little longer." Sooner or later, you can find the right one. Let's have some supper first! Cui'er specially prepared it for you. In the future, we are really going to get out of the plug, and it will be difficult to eat these Central Plains things again! ”

It is the most central piece of pastry and the sweetest to eat. Qian'er, who was born in the Li family in Hedong, loves sweets, so when the husband and wife sit opposite each other for supper, Li Xu always picks up the most sugar and puts it in front of his wife. Although there is no shortage of these things in the Boling County Princess's house, the taste of the things that the husband brought over with his own hands and the ones that were served in the order kitchen is always a little different.

She took the pastry in her mouth and waited slowly for it to melt in her mouth. When that tender sweetness flowed down her throat and into her stomach, she looked into her husband's eyes and mentioned again, "The concubine has been married to Lang Jun for so many years, and nothing has come out. Although the in-laws didn't say anything, the concubines knew that they were eager to hold their grandson as soon as possible. Lang Jun is still the only concubine by his side, and the concubine knows Lang Jun's affection. But in the eyes of outsiders, it's not a concubine! ”

"Silly girl. We've only been married for a few years. There are some things that depend on God's arrangement, and you can't be in a hurry! Li Xu, who was slow to react, finally understood what his wife wanted to express, put down his chopsticks, and shook his head with a smile.

"But since the concubine is the master of this inner house" Qi'er was upset by her husband's view, and quickly lowered her head, her voice as thin as a gnat.

"What is the lord of the inner house, the lord of the outer house. In my eyes, you will always be your son who has traveled thousands of miles to find me. Li Xu understands what his wife means, he is now a dignified county prince and one of the best heroes in the north of the Great Sui, so the family must show a bit of wealth. The scale of the mansion cannot be small, the pomp and circumstance cannot be small, and the woman in the inner house can't be the only one in the house.

But that wasn't the life he wanted. He wants a life that is much simpler than that. It is already his highest goal in life to be able to protect the people he cherishes and those who cherish himself, and to live this life in peace and stability. Thinking of this, Xuzi stretched out his hand again, pulled Ying'er over, and hugged her in her arms, "Here!" He pointed lightly to his chest, "Here, there are only two places." One is occupied by you, and the other is reserved for Erya. Other people's families have 3,000 fans, which is someone else's blessing. But I'm already full, and one more person comes in, and one more burden is required! ”

Since the two got married, there have been several big cars of whispers between husband and wife. But never before has a word been so fiery as it is today. For a while, the blood veins of her whole body were burned to the heat, and she couldn't help but put her head tightly on it, listening to the solid beating inside with all her energy.

"Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah!" Again and again, like a drumbeat from the depths of the wasteland, expecting a response from afar. The whole world no longer exists, and under the lights, there are only two people, hugging each other tightly and resisting death.

The night breeze shines through the window, sending a rich floral fragrance. The red candle jumped tiredly and went out. In the darkness, there were horns singing in low voices, and they were all clever enough to get around at a distance and not disturb the peace of the hut.

By the time they woke up from their sleep, it was already dark. Looking at the messy table next to the couch and the messy tableware on the table, she chuckled shyly and put her head under the quilt again.

She still has the passion of last night rippling in her, gentle and wild. Sometimes it is like the north wind blowing across Yanshan, and sometimes it is like the spring rain quietly entering the night. It was an evocative passion, and through the rain and wind, she could feel the tenderness in her husband's heart. That tenderness spread throughout her limbs, soothing her body and soul. She hopes that a drop of rain and dew can stay in her body and let a small life slowly sprout.

Li Xu did not have the blessing of sleeping lazy, and the habits he had developed during his perennial military career made him become lively immediately after waking up, no matter how tired he was. "You don't have to get up, remember to have some snacks." While dressing, he advised, "I'll go to the barracks for a round first, and then beat the drums!" ”

Qi'er shook her head slightly, quickly put on her little clothes, and jumped to the ground to help. For trivial things like getting up in the morning and changing clothes, Li Xu doesn't like to let the slave and maid do it. This is not a habit that a noble family should have, but Ying'er obeys her husband's wishes and does it herself every time. In her eyes, it is also a kind of happiness for husband and wife to be able to comb each other's hair, dust off each other, and pull the folds of their clothes. At least, that's what she can do for her husband with her own hands.

"Be careful, it's no better here than Boling, it's very cold on the ground!" Xuzi glanced at Yu'er's bare feet lovingly and ordered. "Kick your shoes on yourself first, and then help me. Put on the fur fur on the clothes box at the head of the bed, and in the morning, it can block the cold somewhat! ”

She stuck out her tongue and listened to her husband's orders with great enjoyment. When she covered her body tightly, Xuzi lined it and wore almost the same clothes.

Ying'er silently combed her husband's hair. Then she called a servant to bring warm water and help her husband clean his face and rinse his mouth. Then put on the military uniform that the generals wear every day, and carefully fasten each stumbling armor.

"Almost, there may not be a war today. If I can come back sooner, I'll come back sooner! Xuzi smiled and patted Qian'er's hand, ready to say goodbye and go out.

"Lang Jun be careful in everything! The Turkic wolf is ambitious, and his actions may not be in line with common sense! Ying'er followed her husband for a few steps and whispered.

"I know that!" Li Xu stopped and turned around, and glanced at his wife again, and he found that Qian'er frowned slightly, as if she had something to say. "Do you have anything else to do, I'll leave if it's okay!"

"Second sister had a letter yesterday!" A hint of panic instantly appeared on Qi'er's face. This is what she wanted to say to her husband last night, but before she could start, the whole person was engulfed in flames on her husband's body. In the morning, I thought about it again, but I didn't know how to speak.

"What's going on over there. Can you hold on? For Wan'er, Xuzi has always been grateful in her heart. He knew that if it wasn't for Wan'er's secret help, it would never be possible for Ying'er to come to his side safely.

"It's not a military thing!" Qi'er gently tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes and pulled Xuzi back into the nest of the two. "The second sister has always been clear about public and private affairs, if there is something to discuss with you in military affairs, she will write to you directly! It's a private matter, so look for me first, and then tell you through me! ”

Li Xu was inexplicable when he heard it, but out of the protection of his wife, he smiled and agreed: "If you can do something, let's help!" There are still some gold beads at home, if you need to make a statement to the Tang King, you can prepare it for me first, and I will copy it again when I come back in the evening! ”

"No, not these!" Listening to her husband's refreshing answer, Qian'er's expression was even more twisted. She respects Wan'er, because the other party is the only sister in the Tang family who regards herself as her own sister. So whatever the other party asked, she was unwilling to refuse. But what my sister is asking for now is very difficult to do.

"So what's the matter!" Li Xu frowned first, and then laughed heartily, "The second sister is the commander of the women's army, and the generals under her command are no less than mine." His husband Chai Shao is also a well-known hero, and anyone has to weigh it when he says a word."

"The second sister asked me to help her find the red whisk!" Biting her lower lip hard, she finally said what she had been hesitating about.

"Red Whisk! Didn't she return to your second sister's army? Li Xu immediately put away his smile and asked in surprise.

If there is any living young woman in this world other than Ying'er who can make his heart move, Red Whisk may be the only one. Her maturity and sophistication, strength and bravery, beauty and wit all left a deep impression on Li Xu. Especially after many years of experience in the folk bottom, she has a very peculiar style, which is almost exactly the same as Li Xu's own style.

But whether it was Xuzi, who was in the pain of losing his wife and child at that time, or Xuzi, who later returned to Boling and regrouped, he never thought of taking the red whisk into his arms. It is difficult for Xu Zi to say exactly what it feels like to the red whisk. If the red whisk is compared to a bouquet of mountain flowers, he would rather enjoy it quietly than transplant it home and spend time with it.

"Didn't reply. The second sister had always thought that she had come to us. That's what Red Whisk told her! She sighed and shook her head slightly.

Regarding the grievances and grievances between Hongfu and Li Jing, Wan'er has been told in detail in her previous letter. To be honest, Yu'er has grown so big, and I have never seen a man like Li Jing. Although most of the monarchs of the Tang Mansion were ruthless and unrighteous, no one could easily make promises and owe people favors like Li Jing. Then he easily turns his face, eager to erase the person who loves him deeply with his past vows.

From a man's point of view, you can interpret Li Jing's behavior as chaos and abandonment, or as righteousness and annihilation. Li Jing, who can kill his relatives, still has to pray in front of Tang Gong to avoid death in the end. Maybe Wan'er was right when she commented in the letter, that person only has merit in his heart, and he can't tolerate anything at all except fame!

So she knew that she was lucky to find a good home that others couldn't cultivate even if they had eaten fasting and recited Buddha for several lifetimes. The husband also has a utilitarian heart, but he does not regard fame and fortune as the whole of life. From a woman's point of view, she sympathized with Hongfu's experience and hated Li Jing's coldness. But sympathy is sympathy, and when the second sister very tactfully asked herself in the letter to persuade her husband to take in Hongfu, she still wouldn't be happy in her heart.

This is also the reason why she persuaded Xuzi to take a concubine the night before. If her husband accepts Cui'er, it will be logical to accept Red Whisk again. Anyway, if he can't give birth to a child in the future to continue the Li family's incense, this affection is destined to be divided, and it is much better to give more to his intimate girl than to give more to the strange red whisk. Even, Qian'er left a space for the second sister in her imagination, she knew that the second sister had never let go of Li Xu, although the second sister and Li Xu had almost no possibility of coming together.

"If she comes, she should come to the army to find me!" Li Xu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he said worriedly. In the days when he was together, he had studied martial arts with Red Whisk. It was concluded that if they fought in front of the formation, they could slash the red under the horse within five faces. But if you just fight alone, Red Whisk's skills cultivated by walking the rivers and lakes are not easy to defeat. Running high and low, dodging and dodging, getting close to entanglement, anyone who wants to hurt the red whisk, even a veteran like himself who has rolled on the head of the knife, needs to take half a life.

With such good skills, he should have been able to reach the army safely a long time ago, right? Unless something happens to him on the way. But Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Saishang, how can he find her?

Seeing her husband's frowns, Yu'er hurriedly spoke out to share her worries. "Lang Jun, don't worry too much, I've already arranged for someone to look for her. Even if you can't find anyone, you'll find her whereabouts! ”

"Arrange it as you please!" Li Xu also sighed and said gloomily. If she finds her, she will be picked up and stuffed. The military affairs here are busy, and after a few battles, the mood is naturally good! ”

"But the second sister, the second sister means" Qian'er lowered her head and kept twisting the carpet with her shoes, "The second sister hopes that I can be sisters with Hongfu, saying that Hongfu only knows two men in her life. One is Li Jing, and the other is "

"What words!" Li Xu couldn't laugh or cry. He thanked Wan'er for caring about him, but he didn't want Wan'er to be so lenient. "You know!" While shaking his head, Li Xu pointed to his chest, "I told you yesterday that there is no room for other people here."

The husband and wife smiled at each other, and just wanted to say a few thoughtful words to make each other happy. Suddenly there was a shout from outside the door, "Who's there, come down quickly!" Protect the commander and catch the assassins"

"Assassins?" Li Xu quickly turned sideways, blocked Qi'er behind him, and then kicked half of the door into the air. The crisp morning breeze blew in and swept away the heat from the room. Through the thin morning light, Li Xu saw Zhou Daniu holding a strong bow and pointing an arrow at the roof. At the same time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps on the rooftop, and several guards shouted and pounced on a target.

"I'm coming!" Finding that the surrounding situation had been controlled, Li Xu shouted loudly. One step out of the door, snatched the bow and arrow from Zhou Daniu's hand, and turned around lightly in mid-air, as soon as the person landed, the arrow was already pointing at the beam.

There were several figures swaying vaguely on the ridge of the roof. Li Xu looked closely and could tell that it was three guards who were chasing and killing another assassin. The windless assassin was extremely agile, and with a few ups and downs, he had already thrown the guards away.

Eighty steps, the breeze in the southeast, the light was slightly dim, and with the bow in hand, Li Xu seemed to be a different person in an instant. There is no longer a trace of tenderness in the body, and there is only a cold murderous aura. At this distance, almost no one could escape his feathered arrows. The assassin who was running away seemed to sense the threat from afar, and hurriedly glanced at Li Xu, then let out a soft cry from his mouth, shook his hand and threw out a long rope, wrapping around a big tree near the roof at his feet. The whole body rose into the air like a bird, and quickly disappeared under the nearby eaves under the cover of the branches.
