Since the West Flower Hall talked to Xue Yao that day, Xue Yao was busy with military affairs, Huaiyu finally cleared up, and secretly wrote a reply to Zhao Yan.

The people who are looking for the wild goose tower brought back the news from Kyoto this time, the queen mother's birthday banquet, last year's rebellion against King An actually presented a delicate gold-inlaid phoenix as the queen mother's birthday gift, who expected that everyone was amazed, and when they came to watch, the phoenix launched a poisonous needle from the mouth, which happened to shoot at the center of the queen mother's eyebrows.

The whole dynasty was in an uproar, and King An was so rebellious, it was really hateful!

Emperor Long Yan was furious, vowed to capture King An alive, and ordered the ministers to discuss and come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible, but King An'an's troops were as solid as a rock in the northern area of Dayou, and they encroached on seven or eight cities in the north of Dayu with the momentum of breaking bamboos, and at this time they had already attacked Jiangcheng, which was less than a thousand miles away from Kyoto.

On the other hand, Dayou's soldiers were so frightened by King An's might that they retreated again and again, and several times they directly gave up resistance and gave the city to King An empty-handed.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no one who can lead the troops to retreat from the enemy!

It's ironic.

The Queen Mother was killed by a poisoned arrow, Zhao Yan must have been very sad, Huaiyu frowned, quickly wrote a few words of comfort, and felt that it was not sincere enough, and crumpled the rice paper irritably, still on the side.

Zhao Yan's letter was very few words, not a word about the things that happened in Kyoto, nor did he talk about the fact that he took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Jiangcheng, but just told Huaiyu to add more clothes when the weather was cold.

There is also a painting attached, on which are a few blooming wooden hibiscus, Huaiyu knows that this is the hibiscus in the yard where Zhao Yan lived when he was a child, this Zhao Yan, is this telling himself that "the hibiscus flowers in the yard are blooming"?

Huaiyu remembered that she went to the Feihong Pavilion that year, and the first letter she received from Zhao Yan had only one sentence on it: "The pear blossoms in the courtyard have bloomed." ”

Later, when she went home, she complained to Zhao Yan that he only said that the pear blossoms were blooming, and she couldn't imagine how beautiful the scene was, Zhao Yan smiled and said to her: "Then I will draw it and send it to you next time." ”

In these years, he has been far away in Yundu, although Zhao Yan often brings letters, but this is the first time to send paintings.

Why did you suddenly bring such an extra painting?

Huaiyu stared at the painting on the table, looked at it carefully, I have to say, this painting is very good, the hibiscus stands by the water, the sparkling flowers and shadows, the contrast is beautiful, the crimson petals are distinct, the flowers are clustered, Huaiyu seems to be able to smell the fragrance of flowers in the painting.

Hey?

What's this little thing with rounded corners on the side?

Huaiyu noticed a light-colored rounded corner in the upper right corner, reached out and stroked it carefully, wondering in his heart: Is this a round of moon?

Zhao Yanxin is really like a needle under the sea.

A good picture of waterfront hibiscus, adding a moon here, it looks a little nondescript, but fortunately, this moon is painted very lightly, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully.

Huaiyu carefully put away the painting, re-laid the rice paper, dipped it in pen and ink, leaned over and quickly wrote a few words, and then gently blew the ink that had not dried, folded it and put it in the envelope.

"Xiaoyanagi, go and call Awei."

Xiao Liu answered the call and left, and after a while, Ah Wei came.

"Girl, are you looking for me?"

Huaiyu handed the sealed letter to Ah Wei: "Next time Xunyanlou sends a message to Zhao Yan, bring this letter with you." ”

Ah Wei couldn't help but be happy, took the letter, carefully put it into his arms, and said, "I'll let someone send it immediately, why wait until next time!" ”

Before the words fell, he couldn't wait to get out of the house, and Ren Huaiyu didn't look back no matter how he called behind.

"Is this a rush to reincarnate?" Xiao Yanagi smiled, "Brother Awei is becoming more and more like a child. ”

Huaiyu nodded and asked Xiaoliu: "I just remembered to ask you, why did you come from Yundu?" What happened to my aunt and uncle? ”

Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "There is nothing to do at home, it was Aunt Yun who asked me to send you two sets of winter clothes, and asked when you will go home?" ”

Go home?

Huaiyu was stunned.

Although Xinxiang was occupied by the Qiang people for less than two months, Xiangcheng was very close to Xinxiang, and the Qiang people would attack Xiangcheng sooner or later.

Even if Wu Yin didn't plead repeatedly, Huaiyu would not withdraw from Xiangcheng.

If the Xiangcheng is also taken away by the Qiang people, the clouds will be difficult to protect themselves.

"Aunt Yun guessed that you were going to stay in Xiangcheng this winter, so she specially asked me to come and take care of you." Xiao Liu walked to the window and pulled the window together, "On such a cold day, there is not even a brazier in this room, and Brother Zhao and Brother Ah Wei are men after all, Miss Qinqin Biao can't take care of herself, and you are a person who doesn't care about this, without me in front of you, I don't know what it looks like to be pitiful." ”

Huaiyu took a book and sat on the couch diagonally, chattering by the little willow catkins.

Koyanagi was busy, and after a while, the cold room gradually warmed up.

Huaiyu is not afraid of the cold, but it seems to be so warm and mellow, it seems to be good, she yawned and turned a page of the book.

When Huaiyu was a little drowsy, Wu Yin's voice came from outside: "Miss Xiaoliu, is Miss Gu here?" ”

Before Xiaoliu could answer, Huaiyu came out of the inner room.

"Wu Taishou came to me at this time, is there something?"

Wu Yin sincerely made a big salute to Huaiyu and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just to thank Miss Gu for saving her father's great kindness." ”

"Oh, Wu Taishou, please sit down and drink tea." Huaiyu also sat down at the table, "It's just a courtesy, Wu Taishou doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Wu Yin said: "For the girl, this may be just a gesture, but for Wu, this is a great kindness!" ”

Huaiyu lowered her eyes and looked at the steaming tea in the cup, she actually didn't do anything, it was all done by Zhao Yan, to rescue a death row prisoner from the Tianzi Prison safe and sound, but it was really not as simple as a gesture, but Zhao Yan did it, but he did not bring the Tiger You Army under his banner as planned.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Yan was like a patron saint, on the surface, he was ashamed to say that he wanted to protect him, but in fact, he was silently protecting himself.

"Miss Gu?"

Huaiyu came back to his senses: "How is the army's food and grass prepared?" ”

Wu Yin saw that she suddenly changed the topic, and only said in her heart that Huaiyu was really a husband, but she didn't say anything to save people! Therefore, he no longer mentioned the matter of Fang Cai, but said: "These days, I have followed your orders and transported a total of 100,000 stone grain and grass to Changping Pass, which is guarded by special elite soldiers and can be escorted and put into use at any time." ”

Huaiyu said: "The Qiang people are going out of the country this time, we must be prepared for long-term battles, and the more heavy and daily necessities such as grain, grass, and medicinal materials, the better." ”

"Wu understands." Wu Yin replied, "It's just a little unclear, how can the girl be sure that the Qiang people will attack Changping Pass first?" ”

Huaiyu looked at Wu Yin with an inexplicable expression.

"There is news from Kyoto that the Qiang people have colluded with the Yan army."
