Chapter 930: The Messenger
In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.
Since she made it clear to Ru Yu, Yun Jiao's life has been a lot easier, and she has never asked Ru Yu about Yun Shu's future.
I only knew that Yun Shu was still at Ru's house, and she didn't know anything about it, she just waited for her brother and sister-in-law to come back.
On this day, she went to the imperial capital to get cat food, because in Zhuangzi, the shop could not send it so far, so every half a month or so, she would come to get cat food.
The silver that Qin Nanfeng handed over, eight taels had already been eaten, and she continued for another year.
Mama Li said that it was too troublesome, and it cost money, and she also tried to get some fish soup and rice for eight taels to eat, but it was very mouthful, and every time it just smelled, it would rather be hungry than taste a bite.
Mama Li muttered to it angrily for a long time: "You, you, it's the girl who spoiled you, you are more delicate than people!" ”
She took the cat food and wandered around with her, intending to buy some more things for her daily needs, and went back.
Passing by the tea shop on the side of the road, I saw a bunch of people in front of the shop, which was very lively.
She looked curiously, and saw that it was a storyteller, and it seemed that what he said was quite interesting, otherwise she would not have gathered so many people.
She was interested, and she stopped to listen for a while.
She never saw Ru Yu looking at her not far away, he knew that she would come to fetch food for Baliang once every half a month or so, and she waited early every time.
Mr. Storyteller is talking about how the enemy general of Dongyue Kingdom who killed Zhao Zhongyong is very good, and what he said is as if he had seen it in person.
Yun Jiao listened for a while, felt a little bored, and wanted to leave, so she heard the storyteller wave his fan and say: "It's this general, who led the troops to conquer my Dayuan Dynasty last month, so he ordered someone to be beheaded on the march!"
In the darkness of the night, the man rode a horse and carried a gun, and rushed into the enemy camp alone, three in and three out, and if God helped, he forcibly took the head of the enemy general! Hanging on the gate of Fengqing City, it has been more than half a month! ”
"You said that Feng Qingcheng's head was the enemy general who killed General Zhao?"
"Three in and three out, who is that, so brave?"
In the audience, someone asked.
Mr. Storyteller smiled proudly, raised his hand and patted Xingmu: "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition!" ”
"Cut!"
Lowering his head, a lot of sighs sounded.
"Old man, you're making it up, aren't you? I can't make it up anymore, so I plan to go back in the evening and continue to make it up, and I'll tell us about it tomorrow? ”
"That's it, the enemy's head has been hanging for half a month, and there are more legends, and no one knows who killed it!"
"Legend has it that it was a night attack, and no one could see what that man looked like, but no matter what, I think it must be a good boy from our Great Abyss."
The storyteller was not in a hurry, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No matter what, General Zhao sacrificed his life for the country and was a hero to all the people of my Dayuan, and the enemy general died so miserably, it can be regarded as avenging General Zhao." ”
"That's it."
There was a chorus of harmony in the crowd, and the people slowly dispersed.
Yun Jiao listened, sighed, and lost the mind to buy things, and slowly walked in the direction of the city gate.
Ru Yu followed her from a distance, and sent her to the east gate until he reluctantly stopped, and he looked at the place where she disappeared with a complicated expression.
"Young master, let's go back, you still have a lot of business to do today." Xiaoman reminded behind.
"Hmm." Ru Yu nodded.
Yun Jiao returned to the small courtyard, always thinking about what the storyteller said, as well as everyone's discussions, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Pu Jia could see that something was wrong with her.
"Pu Jia, you say." Yun Jiao looked into the distance, with some hope in her eyes: "Could it be him, still alive?" ”
"Girl......" Pu Jia saw her like this, and her heart couldn't bear it.
"Apart from him, who else will remember General Zhao's hatred?" Yun Jiao's quiet way.
"However, the third aunt saw it with her own eyes...... Pu Jia didn't want to say it, but she couldn't let the girl think about the impossible.
Yun Jiao lowered her head, looked at the jade bracelet in her hand, and said nothing.
Pu Jia said again: "What's more, after so long, if Young Master Qin is still alive, how can he not come back to see the girl?" ”
Yun Jiao was a little stunned, yes, if he was still alive, it had been so long, and according to his temperament, he would not not come back to see her.
"Girl, come and give me a hand, I can't twist it alone." Mama Li greeted her at the well.
The weather is getting colder, and the clothes are thicker, but they are far from being wrung dry by one person.
Yun Jiao knew that Mama Li was trying not to let her think cranky, so she sighed in her heart and walked over with a little smile.
In the blink of an eye, it was half a month.
When Yun Jiao entered the Imperial Capital City again, she found that everything was different, the market was clean everywhere, and the street vendors, who had occupied the road, had all retreated.
Pu Jia inquired and told her that it was the envoy of Dongyue who came to visit and talk about peace between the two countries.
In the past few years, there have been constant disputes at the junction of the two countries, with each other winning and losing, and it is only the people on the border of the two countries who have suffered hardships, as well as the generals and soldiers who have fought in the war.
This time, the general of Dongyue was beheaded in his own camp, and his head was also snatched away, the army was leaderless, the army was in turmoil, and the Dayuan army took advantage of the weakness to enter and capture several cities in a row.
In the past month, Dongyue's army has lost more than half of its vitality and its vitality has been greatly damaged, so he sent an envoy to negotiate peace, saying that he was willing to send the four princesses to make peace.
Today is the day when the envoy of Dongyue comes to the imperial capital, and when the envoy and Dayuan settle a family affair, the next time they will come will be the four princesses.
Yun Jiao listened and nodded, no matter what, for the border generals and the people of the two countries, this is a good thing.
She went to the shop to get cat food as usual, and held the cat's food in her hand.
"Let's go quickly, lest I have to wait for the messenger to enter the city, and I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time." Yun Jiao urged.
Pu Jia agreed, and the master and servant got out of the shop and were about to hit the road.
On the avenue, a group of officers and soldiers came in a hurry.
"The messenger has entered the city, and the idle people are waiting to retreat!"
The crowd gathered around the roadside to watch the excitement, and it was rumored that the messenger was a woman and her husband.
Everyone wanted to see what this woman looked like, and to say that such a woman who showed her head was extremely rare in their abyss.
However, Dongyue is different from Dayuan, the number of men in Dongyue is not as good as that of women, and all talented women will be used.
I don't dare to say that it is entrusted with heavy use, but women can be regarded as having a place in the court where men are in power.
Legend has it that this woman is not simple, she is the daughter of the enemy general who was killed, she is resourceful, she goes out with her father all the year round, guards the border passes, is a strategist with the army, although she has no power to restrain the chicken, but she can strategize and win a thousand miles.
Yun Jiao couldn't avoid it, so she had to take Pu Jia and stand on the side of the road at the door of the cat food shop.
"Yun Jiao." Ru Yu walked towards her with Xiao Man.
