After eating early in the morning, Duan Wang Ye and Su Jiuling came out of Duan Wang's Mansion with a horse, and not long after the two of them went out, they heard someone calling him behind them.

Duan Wang Ye looked back, it turned out to be Mu Chen and Bian Juman.

The curtain dust is dressed in a blue trimmed geometric brocade robe, covered with a cute onion sleeveless armor, and the hair is tied with a silver hollow pattern jade crown, giving people a sense of grandeur and heroism; Bian Juman beside him wore a red pomegranate brocade skirt, with a comb of fragrant buns, bright small yellow roses, and a glutinous ice seed yang green inlaid with white gold flower-shaped bead earrings.

The perfect facial features are modified by the long and fresh earrings, which makes Bian Juman look more beautiful, and at the same time does not lack the sense of purity that a girl should have.

Duan Wang Ye walked up to them with a smile, and after taking a look at Bian Juman's dress, he felt relieved in his heart, as if he saw his daughter who had worked hard to raise for many years suddenly grow up and marry a woman, he said: "Give Juman to you, not only General Bian can rest assured, but this king is also relieved." ”

The two men looked at each other very tacitly, and Mu Chen hugged his fists and said, "Lord Wang, take care of yourself on the road!" Say hello to my father-in-law for me, Makuchen will definitely love Juman for the rest of his life, and please rest assured that my father-in-law! ”

At this time, Bian Juman's face was slightly red, and he said softly: "Lord Wang, when the prince arrives at the front line, say hello to my father for me, and say that I am doing well now, and Brother Chen also takes good care of me, so that he doesn't have to worry, we will wait for him to return safely." The prince also took care of himself all the way, won the battle as soon as possible, and returned safely. ”

Duan Wang Ye nodded, smiled and patted Mu Chen's shoulder, the farewell between men, everything is better than words, many words that need to be explained to Mu Chen, and finally passed on to Mu Chen by this beat. He turned and mounted his horse in a dashing manner, and looked back at the two of them with a faint smile.

Su Jiuling slowly stepped forward, standing in front of Mu Chen and Bian Juman, about the red medicine, he thought about it and finally chose to tell Mu Chen, Su Jiuling smiled faintly and said: "Yesterday, the father and mother of the red medicine girl came to the shogunate to look for her in person, she went back to her hometown with her parents, and the red medicine girl asked me to bring you a message, wishing you a happy new marriage and an early birth to a noble son." ”

Su Jiuling lied and did not tell him the news that Hongyao had died, firstly, because Hongyao was just a maid in the eyes of Mu Chen after all, and the weight of life naturally did not attract his attention; The second reason is that now is the time for Mu Chen and Bian Juman to get married to Yan'er, if they tell him about it, it will only increase their sadness, and it may even affect the relationship between the two as husband and wife.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Jiuling came up with a compromise idea.

Mu Chen was surprised at first, and then said calmly: "I originally wanted to keep her by her side for a few years, and when she has more money in her hand, she will have more choices in the future, even if she doesn't go back to her hometown, she won't live a life of eating and sleeping in the open, I just planned to give her a salary increase, but I didn't expect her parents to find here so soon." In this case, I also hope that her parents can not blame what she did before, and I also hope that Hongyao will live a good life in the future and find a good family to marry. ”

When Su Jiuling heard this, her eyes dimmed, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

He remembered the conversation between the two of them on the mountain half a year ago, she said that she died on the wedding day, so she was wearing a wedding dress, and soon after she arrived in the world, she fainted because she was almost struck by lightning, and when she woke up, she had become a human being, and when the shogunate saw her wearing a wedding dress, they decided that she had escaped from marriage.

However, she did not tell everyone the fact that she wore a wedding dress before her death, so she would wear a wedding dress after her death, and she did this, first, no one would believe her words, and everyone would only think that she was making all kinds of excuses to extricate herself; The second is that no matter how much she says, it won't change anything, and besides, she is not familiar with them, so there is no need to tell them about her private affairs.

Therefore, since Hongyao entered the shogunate, she has silently endured the ridicule and ridicule of others.

"You've thought so much about the Red Medicine Girl, she'll be very grateful to you." Su Jiuling smiled faintly and said softly.

Duan Wangye, who was not far away, heard a trace of imperceptible desolation from Su Jiuling's words, and he said secretly: The friend who died yesterday was the maid next to Ah Chen? That little girl, cute, seemingly well-behaved and obedient, but in fact a little naughty little girl with red medicine?

When Duan Wang Ye thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, after all, she was still a fifteen-year-old girl; However, he didn't expect Jiuling to be so sad about that girl's affairs, which really exceeded the ordinary situation!

Su Jiuling remembered that she said that she couldn't escape into the way of reincarnation, so she could only stop at Nai He Bridge, so after coming to the world again, she cherished the opportunity to live very much, hoping to live here until she was old, and then she had no regrets when she arrived at Nai He Bridge.

However, she suddenly disappeared like this, and everything that happened in the past was like a dream.

The little girl who was once vigilant when she saw him, when she slowly got acquainted with him, confided in him, and when the relationship between the two gradually approached, he didn't say a word of hello, and left like this for half a year.

When they said goodbye, the distance between the two was also widened, and everything seemed to return to the scene when they first met her, and she treated him politely and distantly.

Su Jiuling's feelings for Hongyao are complex and contradictory, he is a mature man, he never believes in love at first sight, and it is impossible to lend a helping hand to the opposite sex for no reason, or approach the opposite sex; However, all of these things happened, all the things he didn't believe happened, just because he met a woman named Red Medicine.

If you say that you like her, Su Jiuling doesn't want to believe it, after all, the time between the two is limited, and Hongyao is at most a lovely girl, whether it is facial features or personality, it seems that she does not meet Su Jiuling's requirements; However, he always approached her, intentionally or unintentionally.

If you don't like her, you can explain it. If a man falls in love with a woman and doesn't see him for a few days, he will miss it, and although Su Jiuling has also thought about red medicine within half a year of separation, the number of times is only a handful; From this, he came to the conclusion that he had no affection for her, and that he would approach her only because he pitied her.

The strange feeling in his heart sometimes makes Su Jiuling feel irritable, and he also thinks about escaping, he believes that as long as he stays away from the red medicine, the strange feeling will disappear.

He did it, but he didn't quite do it.

Su Jiuling was extremely remorseful, if time could be turned back, he would definitely not do this!

Su Jiuling hummed lightly.

He had never been to the Nai He Bridge when he was alive, and he didn't know what life was like at the Nai He Bridge?

Su Jiuling remembered that Hongyao had said that the bridge was dark and dark, a place without light, a place with monotonous colors.

At this moment, he has never been so eager to remember the past as he is now, in that case, he will know the life of Nai He Bridge, and in that case, he will be able to recall the encounter with Red Medicine at Nai He Bridge.

However, even if he didn't know the real life of Nai He Bridge, Su Jiuling could guess the eerie horror there by imagination, what he really wanted to know was whether Hongyao was good at living there, however, as soon as this idea came out, Su Jiuling immediately refuted the past, a gloomy and terrifying place, a colorless place, a place with only ghosts and no humans, how could he live well?

Along the way, Duan Wang Ye didn't know how many times he secretly looked at Su Jiuling, Su Jiuling couldn't stand it, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Is there something on my face?" Why does the prince keep staring at me? ”

Duan Wang Ye looked ahead, looked at the wide avenue, and said with a smile: "This king and you haven't ridden a horse like this for a long time, but I just remembered the things of my childhood, and I just missed it a little!" ”

"The prince went this time, is he planning to come back after the battle?" Su Jiuling asked.

"On the one hand, this king went to deliver food and grass to the soldiers on the front line, and on the other hand, to understand the current situation on both sides of the enemy; Nine years ago, after the invasion of foreign enemies, the people in the border areas have lived a miserable life, during this period, we have fought countless times, but we still cannot completely expel the foreign enemies, they still come to provoke us from time to time; Especially this time, the time to play is even longer......"

"The soldiers of the steppe, good at riding and archery, and brave and good at fighting, combat ability is also relatively good, if the two sides face off with the same strength, we are probably not the opponent of the other party, and we have always been numerically superior to fight against them, although the number of wins during the period is the majority, our losses are also serious." Su Jiuling analyzed.

"Therefore, the purpose of this king's visit this time is to see their power with his own eyes, and if he can learn something from them, and then apply it to our soldiers, it will be a good idea."

"Listen to the prince, the other party's strategy and tactics this time are different from previous wars?" Su Jiuling asked.

"Well, this time is more inscrutable than the previous strategies and tactics, not only have there been changes in the arrangement of troops, but even the riding and archery techniques that they used to be good at using are not commonly used, and they are always elusive and catch us off guard."

"It seems that the other side is good at using guerrilla tactics, always elusive, mainly to drag down the physical strength of the opponent's soldiers, and when you are tired and do not move, you only need to send a small force to easily win; This group of people is indeed cunning! ”

"General Bian also used the same tactics to infiltrate the foreign enemy's army, intending to come with a surprise attack and wipe them out, but the effect was not ideal, they not only sent people to strictly guard them, but also impenetrable, our side has not yet penetrated, and was discovered by their people."

Su Jiuling has been sending Duan Wang Ye to the city gate, he didn't see the vehicles transporting grain and grass along the way, nor did he see the soldiers, Duan Wang Ye saw Su Jiuling's puzzled appearance, and explained with a smile: "The men and horses of the reinforcements and the men and horses transporting grain and grass set off last night and early this morning respectively. ”

Su Jiuling sat on the saddle, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Lord Wang, don't pass by, take care on the road!" If there is an emergency on the front line, if Jiuling can help, please ask the prince to fly the pigeon in time to pass the book to Jiuling! ”

Duan Wang Ye clasped his hands into fists, his handsome face always had a smile on his face, he turned around, waved his long whip, and the horse galloped on the dirt road, raising a cloud of dust behind him.

Su Jiuling stopped quietly in the distance, until he couldn't see the figure, he clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the horse moved forward.

He did not return to the city, but went out of the city.
