Chapter 45: Calculation
Feng Xianji felt that he was stunned, looking at this unfamiliar name that could also connect with that familiar face. Is it because there is an identical "phoenix" character? "Feng" is the surname of southern Xinjiang, what is he excited about?
"Fengyu." He pondered it twice in his heart, but finally felt that his idea was too outrageous. With a chuckle, he looked up at the envoy opposite, and said, "It is indeed sincere, but why should this king believe you?" It's just a contract that could be torn up at any moment. ”
Yun Di smiled and said, "The contract restricts people's hearts and morals. If you are not sincere, even if you sign a hundred or a thousand copies, it is useless. But if it is sincere cooperation, even if the prince only verbally agrees today, he will definitely choose the prince's side without hesitation when he encounters a dilemma in southern Xinjiang. ”
"Who do you mean by that?"
"Lady."
"She gave you the right to make promises?"
Yun's smile narrowed slightly, his face suddenly became pious, and he said, "No, this is the original words of the female monarch, and it is just a paraphrase below." ”
Not only Feng Xianji, but everyone in the hall was also deeply shocked. In this troubled world, the trust between people has long collapsed, and the old people still have to face scrutiny.
Feng Xianji squinted, and a strange sense of familiarity revealed in his heart. I can't say that he is ugly, but I just feel that the female monarch in Yunzhi's mouth seems to trust him too much, isn't she afraid of luring wolves into the house?
"Lord Wang, General Lei's soldiers and horses are almost in Lidu, what do you think?" Yun Di reminded with a smile, "In order to avoid handing over, why don't you make a decision early?" ”
Feng Xianji said, "I'm not busy, since it's cooperation, then I have to sit down and talk." This king happens to be free recently, so he can go to Lidu in person. ”
As soon as his words fell, the smile on Yun Zhi's face appeared a little sluggish, and it quickly flashed over, if it weren't for Feng Xianji's poisonous eyes, I am afraid that he would have missed it.
"That's fine."
Feng Xianji sent someone to take the cloud down to settle it, and at the same time, he personally wrote a letter to bring to Lei Dui.
Wen Ruyi Ke said: "The prince really wants to cooperate with Southern Xinjiang?" ”
"Everyone has given in to this kind of thing, if this king insists on attacking, won't it seem too aggressive?" Feng Xianji said playfully.
"When did you ever care about that?"
Feng Xianji wrote the letter, handed it to the guards on the side, and said, "Hurry up, don't bring the words of the truce when there is a fight on the other side." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will never sleep and deliver the letter as soon as possible!"
Feng Xianji nodded casually, looked at Wen Ruyi who was standing aside, and thought that the words of the two had not finished talking, so he continued, "Trust aside, the conditions given by Nanjiang are enough for this king to be tempted." ”
I don't know how this southern Xinjiang female monarch can grasp his mind so accurately, it's really strange. He is indeed good at fighting and winning big battles, but it doesn't mean that he likes to watch his soldiers die in vain. Since there is a peaceful solution, and it is definitely in his favor, why not try it?
"Aren't you afraid of that lady's deception? What if she deceives us, women are the most fickle. "Wen Ruyidao.
"She also has a way to cure her when she becomes the king, what are you afraid of." Feng Xianji said indifferently, "This king has more choices than her, she can't afford to lose." ”
Wen Ruyi nodded, indeed.
A long, long time later, Feng Xianji remembered the bold words released today, and he actually felt that his face was a little painful, and he was in pain.
As soon as the people sent out by Feng Xianji were halfway there, Lei Dui's side had already arrived near the Lidu City in a hurry, and set up camp.
The four cities of Lidu were closed, and the guards on the city walls had increased more than ten times compared to usual. This is an emergency response to the war, and it is also a disguised way to tell the people in the city that there is going to be war.
The people of southern Xinjiang have not seen such a wartime state for many years, and they vaguely remember that the last time Lidu closed the city was the disaster that destroyed the country. Of course they panicked, the memories of the war were so painful, and the older ones still remember the scene of purgatory with fire and corpses everywhere.
Feng Yu led people to patrol the city, she was wearing a red armor, her long hair was tied up and fluttering behind her, sassy and neat. The soldiers went door to door and told them that it was best to go out less until the ban was lifted, and that if they really wanted to go out, they would also invite the young and middle-aged people in the family to come out, so that the old and weak women and children could stay at home with peace of mind.
"Xiao Chong, come back quickly!" A middle-aged woman leaned against the threshold and shouted outside.
The child lay on the ground digging out the ant nest, and played happily while agreeing, and had no intention of going back.
Feng Yu saw it, walked over and squatted beside him, and said, "Your mother told you, don't you go back?" ”
The child lay firmly on the ground, without raising her head, and said, "I'll be back later, she hasn't started scolding me yet." ”
"Quite experienced."
"That's it." Xiao Chong raised his head proudly and glanced at the woman beside him, "Who are you?" Why are you talking to me? ”
Feng Yu got up, hugged her shoulders and said, "It's going to be a war, hurry home and don't make your mother angry." ”
The direction in which she was standing was backlit, and the child couldn't see her face, but felt that she was a very temperamental sister, and she was still wearing armor, and she was much taller for a while. Xiao Chong threw the stick and got up, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Sister, do you think I am qualified to be a soldier?" ”
"You?"
"I'll be ten years old soon!"
Feng Yu smiled and said, "Ten years old, still digging out ant nests? ”
The child blushed and said awkwardly, "No one plays with me, so I have to have fun by myself." ”
Feng Yu took a step forward, rubbed his head, and said, "Little brat, hurry up and go home." There are adults in war, and you don't need your little arms and legs. ”
"Don't underestimate people, my eldest brother is a soldier, and my eldest brother also went to the battle with Daxia more than ten years ago!" was probably underestimated, and the child immediately thought about other signs, and said excitedly, "He was a soldier more than ten years earlier than you, and he is very powerful!" ”
Feng Yu's smile faded, and said, "Then what about your eldest brother now?" ”
The child stretched out his hand and scratched his face, "It's not here, I never came back after following the Xu family army in the last battle." ”
Feng Yu's throat was astringent, and her heart felt numb as if it had been clamped by a hand. She half-squatted down, took Xiao Chong's hand, and said, "Then you can't go, you have to stay at home with your mother and do your filial piety for your eldest brother." ”
"My mother said, my eldest brother died for our southern Xinjiang, and he died ......" The child tilted his head, as if he was pondering the words and as if he was recalling the words of the adult, and he was stuck there for a while.
"Die as you deserve!" He suddenly understood, and nodded firmly, "I also want to be like a big brother, for our southern Xinjiang to go out!" ”
Feng Yu hugged him in her arms, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she just wanted to hug this child.
"Y-What are you doing!" Xiao Chong panicked, "Men and women don't kiss, don't be like this......" At the end, his face turned red, his hands and feet trembled, and he felt that this woman was too strange, and he knew that he shouldn't talk to her.
"Xiao Chong, live well, living is the best thing to do for our southern Xinjiang."
"Huh?"
Feng Yu let go of him, ripped off a piece of cyan jade pendant on his body, and said, "You take this, if you don't know what you want to do after you are twenty years old, you can take this to the government to find me." ”
Xiao Chong pushed it away and said embarrassedly, "Don't, my mother said don't take other people's things." ”
"This can help you become a soldier." Feng Yu smiled and winked at him.
Sure enough, Xiao Chong's heart was moved, and he looked at Yu Pei hesitantly, "Then, then I'll keep it for the time being, and I'll pay you back later?" ”
"Okay."
The child happily showed a mouthful of white teeth, looked at it a few times, and looked up, "Sister, who are you?" Is it a big official? ”
"It's okay." Feng Yu patted him on the shoulder and helped him brush away the dust he had just picked up the ant nest, "Anyway, it's no problem for you to be a soldier." ”
"Xiao Chong, don't hurry back yet! Wait for the old lady to bring you the food, right? Xiao Chong's mother had a very loud voice, and when she roared, half of the birds in the tree were startled.
Xiao Chong stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm really angry now, I have to go." ”
"Go ahead."
Xiao Chong smiled and took two steps backwards, waved the jade pendant in his hand, and said, "Sister, wait for me to come to you!" ”
