Chapter 90: Cooking wine and getting drunk in the wind
Su Liruo suddenly opened her eyes, she looked up and saw Feng Xuanyu holding the maple leaf to look at it intently, she smiled softly and said, "You're back!"
Feng Xuanyu put down the maple leaf and stared at her with a loving gaze: "How could Ruo'er think of carving words on the maple leaf?"
"It's still Ruo'er that the prince understands!" Su Liruo glanced at the neatly arranged maple leaves on the table, and she smiled: "I actually know that these two lines of poetry are not bad at all!" I used to see the maple leaf embroidery on the Butterfly Love Flower Essay, and I thought it was interesting at the time. The day before yesterday, I saw the leaves falling all over the garden, so I picked up some to try. ”
"Does Ruo'er know what the maple leaf means in the Moon Country?" Feng Xuanyu asked with a deep gaze.
Su Liruo shook his head blankly, a pair of crystal clear eyes staring at him suspiciously.
Feng Xuanyu took her hand, led it to the window, pushed open the window frame, and the back yard, full of maple leaves, bloomed like fire in late autumn.
"Red beans are acacia, and maple leaves are parting." Feng Xuanyu raised his eyes to look at the maple leaves in the garden falling and said in a low voice.
"What a beautiful mood!" Su Liruo sighed, her eyes overflowed gently, immersed in the deep affection of that life, lovesickness, and love, but she couldn't withstand the red dust, and her heart was broken. "I really want to embroider all the maple leaves and carve out the comfort that can relieve the pain of lovesickness and the pain of parting!"
"What did Ruo'er say?" Feng Xuanyu gently hugged her into his arms and said with a wry smile: "You have read all the poems since you were a child, how can you not know that only the pain of lovesickness cannot be solved?" Only the pain of parting cannot be comforted! ”
"Although I know, I always think about how to resolve this pain, so that the lover can finally become a family." Su Liruo wrapped her hands around his waist and closed her eyes to listen to his heartbeat. She whispered: "Yu, if one day, we also experience such pain, those maple leaves are a consolation left by Ruo'er..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Feng Xuanyu covered her mouth suddenly, and a burst of pain appeared in her heart for no reason. "I'm not going to let that happen, never!"
Su Li suddenly unfolded a bright smile like a child, and bit his fingers mischievously, then let go of his teeth, blinked a pair of clear eyes, and said: "I heard that only after experiencing the pain of lovesickness and parting is the most beautiful love in this world, the most bitter infatuation..."
The more Feng Xuanyu listened, the more irritated he became, he couldn't bear to reprimand her, so he leaned down and grabbed her lips fiercely, blocking her words.
"Uh..." Su Liruo let out an exclamation, and the words behind him disappeared instantly. She was angry and funny: he was so scared? It's just a casual talk, and he can't listen to it! She struggled twice, and he firmly held the back of her head, unable to move.
After making sure that she was quiet, Feng Xuanyu left her lips, and when she saw her dissatisfied, she softened her face and said, "Remember, don't talk nonsense in the future, otherwise, I will punish Ruo'er severely!"
Su Liruo pouted displeasedly: "Ruo'er tried her best to give the prince a surprise, why did the prince ignore Ruo'er's intentions?" Still punishing Ruo'er? ”
"If you're in the mood, how can I ignore it!" Feng Xuanyu saw that she was angry, and said with a smile: "I just don't like the metaphor of the maple leaf, and Ruo'er says something sad, I really can't listen to it!" As he spoke, he cupped her face with both hands and said solemnly: "Ruo'er, we have experienced too many pains and hardships, it's enough, I just want to be with Ruo'er in the morning and twilight, and it is enough to join hands with Bai Shou!"
Su Li looked at him fixedly, and suddenly understood the worry in his eyes, as well as the faint fear. Her heart swelled with strange emotions, and even her heart was a little choked, and she nodded lightly.
Feng Xuanyu said softly: "Ruo'er thinks it is interesting to engrave words on the maple leaves, and occasionally use it to spend time in your spare time, don't take it seriously!"
"Okay." Su Liruo smiled and said softly: "If the prince feels that the maple leaf metaphor is too sad, if you keep it as a thought, you will find some more auspicious meanings to give to the prince in the future."
Feng Xuanyu felt more grounded in his heart at this time, in fact, even he didn't understand, what was he afraid of? She's always there, facing him day and night. All the previous misunderstandings have been solved, and all worries have been dissipated. But there was a faint fear in his heart for no reason, as if he would lose her fear at any moment, especially when he saw her tattooing on the maple leaf, although the poetry was good, but it still couldn't drive away his fear.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that all the sensitivity and panic came from the bond in his heart!
Feng Xuanyu held her hand: "Let's go!" It's past lunchtime, Ruo'er should be hungry! ”
He walked lightly out of the room with her.
Western suburbs, Wolf Hidden Mountain.
The night was dark, the heavy pressure pressed the tent, and the soldiers fell asleep with the late autumn mountain wind, and the sound of even snoring came and went.
A black shadow swept by, nimbly dodging the sentry and running out of the barracks, quickly disappearing into the night.
On a low hill, a pigeon fluttered away, its white feathers swept away against the wind, like a dazzling and shining star in the middle of the night, bringing a glimmer of hope to those in the dark.
The black shadow stared at the white ethereal that was fading away, then turned and jumped down the hill, disappearing into the endless mountain forest.
About an hour later, the smoke of the silent military camp filled the entire barracks, and a group of sentries at the gate of the training camp fell to the ground, and the patrol posts were also paralyzed.
Lin Quan was the first to wake up, he was choked by a puff of smoke, and shouted: "Second brother, get up quickly!"
It was Chu Ao who was in the same tent as Lin Quan, he was confused, patted his not very sober head, and said, "What's the matter, big brother?"
"Something's wrong!" Lin Quan grabbed the teapot on the table, shook his hand and poured it on the top of Chu Ao's head. "Wake up!"
The tea that had been cold overnight instantly woke up Chu Ao, who was shaking his head, and he took a handful of herbal tea on his face, "What's going on?" Before he could finish speaking, he choked on the smoke and coughed violently.
"Someone did something, everyone was so happy last night, they actually let people take advantage of the loophole, I'm afraid that the grain and grass in the rear camp will be lost!" Lin Quan said as he tore down the curtain of the tent, divided it into two, and poured the remaining tea in the teapot on the curtain. threw a wet curtain to Chu Ao, covered his nose and mouth, and said in a muffled voice: "The smoke is so big, but no one notices it, it should all be on the road, I'll go and inform the trumpeter, you hurry up and take a look at the third and fourth."
Chu Ao took the wet curtain to cover it, nodded, and quickly stepped out and pushed the curtain into a tent next to him, in the tent blanket, only Yao Fang was asleep, and Zhou Shen was nowhere to be seen!
Chu Ao was taken aback, and hurriedly pushed Yao Fang, seeing that he seemed to be hangover and not sober, thinking that he was greedy for a cup last night, in a hurry, he saw that there was still half a bucket of water in the washing barrel on the side, and lifted it and splashed it on the tent carpet to the sleeping Yao Fang.
A burst of cold to the bones, Yao Fang jumped up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Ao holding the barrel with an angry face, and he was stunned: "Second brother, why are you so angry?"
"I'm afraid that the grain and grass in the rear camp will be burned by the gangsters, by the way, what about the third child?" Chu Ao threw down the barrel and said in a deep voice.
"What? How can this be? Yao magnified and exclaimed: "Third brother? I really don't know where the third brother went? ”
At this time, an emergency horn sounded, spreading to every corner of the barracks.
Chu Ao and Yao Fang looked at each other, jumped out of the tent quickly, and ran towards the horn.
Suddenly, Yao Fang paused, stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Ao, he was stunned, stopped, and looked at Yao Fang's gaze. The two bright lanterns hanging at the entrance of the barracks clearly illuminated a burly figure, bowing his head and shaking the fallen sentries one by one, and snorting with his hands.
This person is Tie Kui Fist Zhou Shen!
"What are you doing?" Chu Ao asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Shen was startled, suddenly turned around, and said tremblingly: "Second brother, fourth brother."
Yao Fang's face was cold, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "What are you doing here when you're not in the tent?"
"Second brother, fourth brother, you see, the sentry and the patrol have been put down, I'm afraid there are spies in the camp!" Zhou Shen said urgently.
"How do you know there are spies in the camp? Why did one person sneak up to the sentry station? Yao Fang took a step forward and said coldly.
Zhou Shen was stunned: "How can the fourth brother say this?" What sneaky? I got drunk last night, and woke up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, but found that the smoke was filled, and I was only blamed for being in a daze, thinking that the autumn sun was falling and frosting, and I didn't take it to heart. When I came back, I tripped and fell and woke me up, only to see the sentry and patrol fall to the ground..."
"If you're awake, why don't you go to the place of smoke first? Wasted time here? Have you turned a deaf ear to the emergency horn? Yao Fang sneered.
"What do you mean? Suspicious of me? Zhou Shen's face changed greatly, he was simple, not good at words, and had a rough temper. was questioned sternly by Yao Fang, and couldn't help but be furious: "Bastard, how can Lao Tzu be that kind of despicable villain!"
Yao Fang sneered twice, his eyes were full of doubt: "You are extremely close to those two people all day long, who knows what's safe?"
"You..."Zhou Shen almost jumped to his feet in anger.
"Enough!" Chu Ao shouted: "Go to the point of troops to concentrate first, and talk about it later!"
Yao Fang snorted coldly and turned away, Zhou Shen stared and followed angrily, Chu Ao had a deep face, feeling that things were very strange, I am afraid that it would not be as simple as burning grain and grass.
Sure enough, there were not many soldiers concentrated, only one-third, and all of them were hanging their heads and ears, and their spirits were wilting.
Lin Quan's face was grim, and he paced back and forth on the military platform, and the ten trombonists blew in unison, shaking through the barracks.
Chu Ao and the three of them went to the military platform, and as soon as they stood down, they saw Naluo and Zhijian returning with dozens of people.
Lin Quan waved his hand, and the sound of the horn stopped in an instant. Naluo took a few steps forward, jumped onto the point platform, and said in a low voice: "Deputy General Lin, just now I went to the rear camp to inspect, the grain and grass are intact, but more than a dozen purebred horses in the stable have been stolen, and the smoke should be caused by the special smoke on the rivers and lakes." These fatal thugs are so bold that they are actually eyeing the training camp! The soldiers in the battalion inhaled the smoke and fell asleep, and no one in the battalion noticed it. ”
Lin Quan was stunned for an instant: the grain and grass were not damaged, and the horses were lost. These dozen or so horses are tributes from outside the Yuanfan Loulan domain, and they are precious and rare breeds, and Emperor Entropy originally planned to keep the horses in captivity in the palace stables. However, the Loulan envoy told him that this purebred horse is a sacred horse galloping on the grassland, with a brown body, smooth and soft hair, a healthy and beautiful body, and a tireless journey of thousands of miles every day.
Emperor Entropy thought about it and prepared to banish these horses to Qiyan Mountain, but the king of Yi proposed to place these horses in Wolf Yin Mountain.
If you want to sharpen the courage of the horses and stimulate their domineering spirit, the Wolf Hidden Mountain Barracks is very suitable, which can not only stimulate their heroics, but also integrate the morale of the military camp.
The said Emperor Entropy frequently bowed his head, so he ordered the horse to be placed in the Wolf Hidden Mountain military camp for training. At that time, Captain Jiang was ecstatic, thinking that the foreign horses stationed in the Wolf Hidden Mountain military camp were like a tiger with wings, and immediately bowed to thanks, saying that he would do his best to train the horses to become a divine horse, glorify the big moon, and consolidate the foundation for thousands of generations.
Just because some time ago, Jiang Taiwei took advantage of the help to encircle and suppress Qi Yanshan to win, and then asked the king of Yi for a lesson in the way of soldiers, the king of Yi was also generous, without saying a word, he sent two young masters to the military camp, it is said that they trained in the capital to subdue the barbarian wild herd has their own set of Qimen escape techniques. Therefore, the plan to train the horses was put on hold for the time being.
Sure enough, Naluo's thaumaturgy was very powerful, which impressed Lin Quan, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel that Yueyi Villa was worthy of being full of talents, and the hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Zhou Shen was even more impressed, and he lamented the setback of fate with Naluo all day long, and actually staggered to Yueyi Villa and returned to the military camp. caused Yao Fang to be angry and dissatisfied, accusing him of being ungrateful, if it weren't for the Tai Lieutenant, then he would be today, the two often quarreled because of this, Chu Ao persuaded them, and said that his mouth was dry and his heart was anxious, but it was to no avail.
The day before yesterday, the training of the strange array of the art of war taught by Naraku was completed, thinking that during this period of time, the whole battalion was training day and night, Lin Quan couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of hundreds of generals, and finally agreed to relax for a day and celebrate the success of the formation. Yesterday, each team of soldiers enjoyed three altars of wine, which caused the cheers of the whole battalion to shake through the Wolf Hidden Mountain. Lin Quan couldn't have imagined that he was so happy and sad!
The whole battalion drank and talked until the evening was disbanded, and it was expected that something happened in the middle of the night, and the tribute horse was lost! If Emperor Entropy investigates, he should be punished for the crime, thinking of this, Lin Quan was in a cold sweat. Although he was born in a reckless background and ranked in the rivers and lakes, he had followed Captain Jiang for many years and stayed in the military camp for a long time, so he naturally understood that the laws were strict, and they could never be solved by the pleasure of the rivers and lakes.
Chu Ao also gasped, seeing Lin Quan's depressed expression, he naturally knew that this matter was not trivial, and he had no idea for a while.
"The horse was stolen?" Yao Fanghu glanced at Zhou Shen suspiciously: "Big brother, this matter is definitely not something that can be done by just the gangsters in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that there will be a traitor in the camp, and the inside and outside should cooperate and let go of the horses."
"What mole? Bastard stuff! Zhou Shen glared and said angrily: "You make it clear, who should cooperate with the outside and let go of the horse?"
"What are you excited about? If you are innocent, you should not be angry, don't you want to cover up, for fear of involving the people behind the scenes? Yao Fang looked at each other coldly, and there was an allusion in his words.
Zhou Shen was furious, shouted wow, grabbed Yao Fang's neckline, lifted it hard, lifted his feet off the ground, and actually hung in the air. That Yao Fang was originally short, and Zhou Shen was tall and thick, so the disparity was so great, even if Yao Fang's face turned purple, he couldn't wait to use Feiyun's legs and step on him. However, Zhou Shen's arms are extremely strong, so that Yao Fang is almost out of breath, and he can still make Feiyun legs there!
Chu Ao stomped his feet anxiously, he knew that Zhou Shen was simple and short-tempered, he was by no means a vicious person, and he would not want to conspire. At this time, I was afraid that I would be angered by Yao Fang's words, and I was dizzy. He shouted loudly: "Third child, stop quickly!" Don't be confused. ”
Zhou Shen is full of brute strength, but he attaches great importance to righteousness, and he hates cunning people the most in this life, and suffers from them. Yao Fang is short and good at argumentation, and often reprimands and argues, which makes him dumbfounded and powerless. At this time, he was already furious, where could Chu Ao's words be heard!
At this time, one-third of the soldiers gathered in the field saw this scene, although they were confused, and because they were far away, they didn't know why they clashed, but they all looked puzzled and guessed what was going on?
Naluo approached Lin Quan's side and said in a low voice: "Vice General Lin, this matter must not be exaggerated, the military camp has a large population, and the fish and dragons are mixed. If it is preached by ill-intentioned people, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will investigate and blame it, won't you follow the wishes of others, borrow a knife to kill people, blame you, and even the captain! ”
Wake up with a word! Lin Quan suddenly came back to his senses, nodded solemnly, raised his eyes to look at them, and said sharply: "Third child, Hugh is unreasonable!" Despise military discipline, stop quickly, big brother will call the shots for you! ”
When Zhou Shen heard this, he hesitated, his chest rose and fell, and it could be seen that he was still angry.
Nai Luo flew in front of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said resolutely: "Brother Zhou, let go quickly, Nai believes in you!"
Zhou Shen's nose instantly became sore, his eyes were red, and as soon as his hand was loosened, Yao Fang pounced, fell to the ground, grinned when he fell, and cursed Zhou Shen in a low voice. Chu Ao stepped forward to help him up and scolded: "You, you, who made you annoy him with your words?" Our brother has been married for many years, don't you know what his temperament is? Ask for yourself! ”
Yao Fang was scolded, so he had to bow his head and hum and touch his neck, thinking that he was almost strangled by Zhou Shen, he couldn't help but spit: "Damn!"
Lin Quanshen frowned, and waved at the shriveled and scarce soldiers in the field: "Disperse!"
