In the black-lacquered Cloud Pavilion, the charcoal fire in the brazier had already burned to ashes, five or six plates of melons and fruits were laid in front of a row of mad spiritual seats, and a few candles were glowing and hot silently.

Huaiyu, dressed in white, knelt motionless in front of the spiritual seat, his eyes unfocused, quietly looking ahead.

It wasn't until the candle burned out and the sky grew brighter that she moved her eyes and stood up very slowly with her pestle on the ground.

It rained heavily last night, and today the sky is clear, Huaiyu heard the footsteps outside, and said loudly:

"Come in!"

Ah Wei appeared in the house quietly: "Girl, the secret line has come to report, the Qiang people captured Xinxiang in the east yesterday, and there are less than 100,000 of the 200,000 Huyou troops left, and they are retreating to Xiangcheng. ”

"This posture, Xue Yao is going to flee all the way north to Kyoto!"

Huaiyu gently twisted the unlit candle dripping from the candlestick, and thought for a moment: "Ah Wei, let's give him a robbery!" ”

Ah Wei said: "This matter is not difficult, I can do it with He Zhao." ”

"No, although Xue Yao was defeated by the Qiang people, he was extremely brave, and the Qiang people only wiped out half of his troops with the strength of the whole country in this battle, which should not be underestimated."

Huaiyu said in a deep voice: "I want to meet him in person!" ”

The Huyou army is stationed in Xinxiang all the year round, and the army is self-sufficient in food, when Yundu fought a war, Xinxiang and Yundu were only a few hundred miles, Gu Yanhe sent people to borrow food from him many times, but Xue Yao refused to lend a helping hand!

Huaiyu smiled coldly: Today he should also taste the taste of despair.

Ah Wei said that first, he didn't want Huaiyu to rush to Xiangcheng and go into battle in person, but when he saw Huaiyu say this, he had to nod and continued: "There is news from Kyoto that the Queen Mother will celebrate her seventieth birthday next month, and the emperor will hand over the matter of organizing her birthday to the banquet prince. ”

Huaiyu was stunned.

Over the years, the Queen Mother has really loved Zhao Yan, but on the Queen Mother's birthday, there are concubines inside, and Honglu Temple outside, how did Zhao Yan get in?

I'm afraid it's not good!

"Rest assured, the young lady has already prepared, and there will be nothing wrong." Awei said with relief.

"Hmm."

Huaiyu replied lightly, bowed slightly to Xiao Liu, who had just entered the house, and instructed Ah Wei: "Hurry up and inform Zhao Yan of the news that Xinxiang has been broken and that I am determined to go to Xiangcheng." ”

Ah Wei replied "yes", but did not go down immediately, and stood still hesitantly, as if he had something to say.

Huaiyu looked at him strangely, and he finally spoke: "The girl doesn't write a letter and send it to Kyoto together?" ”

What is there to write about this? A few words of the matter.

Huaiyu took the steaming ginger soup brought by Xiaoliu and drank it in one gulp: "There is not much time, hurry up and prepare, let's set off." ”

Ah Wei quit the Cloud Pavilion in disappointment, and every time he sent news to Kyoto, as long as there was a letter written by the girl herself, the banquet boy would be happy for a long time......

Hey, Yan Gongzi, his subordinates have done their best.

Ah Wei looked up to the sky and sighed, fortunately, he didn't have to go to Xiangcheng with the girl for this news, fortunately, he had to go to Xiangcheng with the girl this time, and he didn't have to face the face that sank instantly after Yan Gongzi found out that there was no letter from the girl.

Ah Wei's thoughts were unaware, she handed a sealed letter to Xiao Liu, and explained: "Send this to the government and hand it over to Wang Wu in person." ”

Xiao Liu took the letter: "This Wang Wu is really a man who has accumulated virtue in his previous life, and he suddenly changed from Pingzhang County Order to Yundu Mansion Yin, when I saw him a few days ago, his face was so bright that he smiled, and the corners of his mouth hung on his ears." ”

Huaiyu said: "Although he is occasionally a little unreliable, he does have some skills in terms of management, which is why I asked him to be the Yin of Yundu Mansion." ”

"That's a bit unreliable? I've never seen someone that old cry in front of you at every turn. ”

Huaiyu looked at the gentle and smiling Xiaoyanagi in front of him, and remembered that when he was a child, he had to go to the Feihong Pavilion every month, and Xiaoyanagi would cry and not let him go.

"Huh? Sister Xiaoyanagi, it's okay for others to say this, but if you say it, why does it sound a little wrong to me? ”

Xiao Liu's face flushed: "Then I can't compare to Lord Wangfu Yin!" ”

As she spoke, she trotted out with the letter, leaving Huaiyu with a back.

Huaiyu shook his head, these two are not reliable.

After Xiaoliu ran away, Huaiyu walked to the spiritual seat and put on a few sticks of incense, stood in a daze for a while, and then hurriedly walked out of the Cloud Pavilion and returned to the Yun family's courtyard.

"Huaiyu."

Huaiyu turned around and greeted softly: "Second aunt morning." ”

"Are you going out?"

"Well, go to Xiangcheng and come back in a few days."

Second Lady Duan couldn't bear it, and said with concern: "Be careful in everything, don't work hard." “

Huaiyu nodded lightly: "Aunt don't worry." ”

Second Lady Duan wanted to say something more, but she couldn't say anything.

She knew that Huaiyu had secretly organized the old Gu family army in the wind and rain over the years, and practiced day and night in Pingzhang County.

In the winter of the eleventh year of Youqing, the Qiang people in the south invaded in a big way, and King An in the north rebelled, the world was in flames, and the court lacked generals and few soldiers.

I want to go to Xiangcheng today, and the meaning is self-evident.

Seeing Huaiyu like this, Second Mrs. Duan only hated that she had only read and embroidered since she was a child, and she didn't know any martial arts.

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Huaiyu gently held Second Lady Duan's hand: "I'm fine." ”

She was as calm as water, and her tone was firm, as if the sky would not let her fluctuate at all, seeing that Second Lady Duan was distressed, but a smile appeared on her face, and she pulled out her hand and shook Huai Yuhun is calloused hands.

"Well, my aunt knows. I'll go and prepare some dry food for you, and I'll eat ...... on the way."

Before she could finish speaking, she quickly turned around, quietly wiped the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes, and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Huaiyu stared at the back of his hand for a moment, there seemed to be a warm temperature of his second aunt on it, Huaiyu pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a very shallow smile, which he couldn't find at all if he didn't look closely.

"What are you doing in a daze?"

A clear voice came, and Duan Qinqin put a grin on Huaiyu's shoulder: "I saw Brother Awei hurriedly went to the school field, it seems that you want to raise troops to fight?" ”

She didn't wait for Huaiyu to answer, and said excitedly: "I guess, you're going to Xiangcheng, right?" ”

"You're quick enough to hear from you."

Duan Qinqin smiled "hehe": "Is it okay to take me?" ”

Huaiyu took down the hand she put on her shoulder, shook her head and said, "You haven't even been proficient in the stick technique I taught you in the summer, don't think about it!" ”

Duan Qinqin didn't follow, and kept shaking Huaiyu: "I'm proficient now, I don't believe I practice for you, and I exercise every day, and I will definitely not drag you back...... Take me, will you take me? ”

This noisy sound disturbed Huaiyu helplessly.

"Go pack your things and leave in a quarter of an hour."
