Chapter 168: After the Storm
The hazy sky seemed to have signs of clearing, and after listening to the tragic situation of the Huainan Army, Nan Jinyu's mood seemed to be brighter.
"Defend the city as originally planned, and no one will be allowed to enter without an order from His Royal Highness the King of Qin."
Nan Jinyu held back a smile and said seriously.
The too delicate voice in it sounded unprovoked and feminine, thinking that this little Yu Gongzi, who could work hard for His Royal Highness King Qin, must have an ulterior relationship with King Qin, Mu Bai was relieved.
"Yes! Mu Bai obeyed! ”
"The city gate in the east is all dependent on the Mu guards, if there is a crisis situation, it is extremely necessary to notify the night ghost as soon as possible, and all the affairs of Luo County are in his full control."
Nan Jinyu thought for a while and added, if something really happened, it would naturally be more reliable to listen to the night charm, and he was only suitable to be a lonely and unknown strategist.
Mu Bai was stunned when he heard this, and a little smile appeared on his face, "Yes!" Please rest assured. ”
The footsteps outside faded away, and Nan Jinyu found that Xiao Chen's shadow was no longer on the couch in the inner room.
As soon as she turned around, the whole person, almost covered in frost and snow, stood behind her, looking at her quietly, and although she spoke painfully, there was a little joy on her face, as if she was praising her ability.
"Why did you go down again?"
Nan Jinyu sighed, raised his hand to help him, but he retreated back to avoid it, a pair of demonic eyes mixed with silver luster, like the aurora on the horizon of the snow-capped mountain, transparent and clear.
"I'm afraid of you, being bullied."
Xiao Chen moved his eyebrows, slowly drifted back to the inner room, and lay down on the couch as if he was fine, looking as usual on the surface, but in fact, the clothes on his body had been soaked with sweat again, and then frozen into frost.
“……”
Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, wanting to say something but didn't know where to start.
Forget it, according to this guy's stubborn nature, even if she knocks someone to the ground, he will still worry about whether he is injured.
West City Gate of Luo County.
Tsing Yi and Yebai made up for a short sleep, and then they took things to the city gate non-stop, and they rushed back to rest after they finished work last night, and they have not seen the tragic situation of the Huainan Army at this time!
"Hey, hey, Bai Guard, have you heard, the Huainan Army was ordered to camp by the heroes of the green forest last night, and today it is not dawn to squat under our city gate and cry the city, I heard that the ancestors are eighteen generations have given greetings......"
The guards smiled and gossiped, these big officials from Yanjing were all characters who couldn't be provoked.
For example, the white master in front of him, what he likes is the cold-faced little guard with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes next to him, these two people are crooked, ouch! What an eye-opener!
"Where are there so many greetings, I can't find them in three generations, let alone eighteen generations!"
Yebai raised his eyebrows, and the baby face with small dimples smiled a little penetratingly.
"Isn't it, two generations are enough to choke......"
Tsing Yi yawned and answered, if they only scold their mother, they will die on that mouth sooner or later, besides, those rabble are already unknown, and it is His Royal Highness's mercy that he didn't want their lives.
"Ahem, cough, ahem!"
The little guards who started the topic were so embarrassed that they almost choked themselves out, anyway, these young men only care about whether the silver army is paid or not, whether the winter clothes are enough, where can they care about what the big guys do!
He didn't hear anything, he didn't hear anything......
"Send someone to carry things up the castle tower, let's go meet those grandsons!"
Yebai patted the guard's shoulder, almost scaring the other party into kneeling on the ground, but fortunately he was helped by Tsing Yi who followed him.
"Stand firm, Luo County has no county order, you are the backbone of this Luo County."
After Tsing Yi finished speaking, he went up to the city tower without looking back.
"Sister is so sassy!"
Yebai smiled and made a lip gesture at Tsing Yi, but in the end he didn't say anything, but in the eyes of others, the two broken sleeves were flirting again.
“……”
Tsing Yi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly turned his eyes, something in his heart had changed.
The chief guard of the West City Gate of Luo County is a sleek old man, and since the disaster relief convoy entered the city, all the dispatches have been subject to the post station, and it is also his order not to open the door in the morning.
"The White Guard is here! What do you want the brothers to do today? ”
The guard stepped forward with a waist and looked at Yebai and Tsing Yi for a few seconds, but he opened the conversation box as if nothing happened, without the slightest fuss.
"I'm not going to do anything today, just guard the city gates."
Yebai replied with a smile, looked down from the city tower, and turned his eyes on the Huainan army who was shrinking at the corner of the wall and refused to leave, and took it back as if nothing happened.
"That'...... The people who are down here ......"
Guard Zhang nodded knowingly, knowing that he had made the right bet.
Although the Huainan Army is a rabble that was put together temporarily, they are all natives of Huainan, why were they taken to camp overnight?
This is simply an insult to IQ, don't think about it, there must be someone who deliberately did it, so he put peace on the big man in Luoxian County, and sure enough, it was very reasonable......
"Huh? Is there anyone here? Where? Recently, I have not adapted to the water and soil, I can't eat or sleep well, and I have been rushing to work day and night for disaster relief, and my eyes are not good! ”
Yebai yawned, and the smile on the baby's face suddenly stopped, and his tone sounded playful.
"Yes, yes, yes! What the white guard said is very true, where is there anyone now! A few days ago, the displaced people all received the winter supplies and resettlement silver and left, and the remaining surrounding refugees also left overnight last night, and now there is nothing but some naked wild cats and wild dogs barking, which is really worrying. ”
Captain Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and echoed again and again, not feeling that he would let people hear what he said too loudly......
"Oh? The homeless left overnight? Why is that? ”
Yebai pretended not to know, looking like I believed everything you said, and he was just a guard who came and went through the motions, not caring about the suffering of the people.
"I heard...... Last night, someone found an animal infected with the epidemic in the Huai River, and everyone was afraid after experiencing the flood, and regardless of whether the rumor was true or not, they left Luoxian with their families overnight and dispersed in a hurry. ”
Captain Zhang said in a colorful manner, and from time to time he glanced under the city wall, and caught a glimpse of the resentful eyes of some unclothed soldiers, and understood something in his heart.
Cattle in the Huai River...... It's these big soldiers who rush to find fault for the sake of profit, right?
As for the play of contracting the epidemic, it is indeed sung very timely, if it is one step slower and someone takes the lead, some things in Luoxian County will not be hidden, and it will be Luoxian County and those people who are bewitched by others who will suffer!
"Oops! So scary? Is there an animal in the Huai River? ”
Yebai pretended to be surprised and deliberately raised his voice.
His surprised tone and exaggerated look really angered the trembling soldiers under the city, but it was a pity that they were even wearing clothes that they were wearing in the morning at the bottom of the city, not to mention weapons.
"It's really strange to say, although the Huai River has a lot of mud and sand, it has always been the lifeblood of the people along the river, and it is likely that there are infected animals infected with epidemics in it......
Captain Zhang tried his best to cooperate, looking like you can't see the facts if you don't talk about the adults, you are really a powerful actor.
"Today, this day...... Going to change, right? ”
Tsing Yi, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but listen to them playing Tai Chi back and forth, and coldly interrupted the conversation between the two.
"How?"
Yebai stepped forward, with a smile on the baby's face, and his eyes swept over the people in the city one by one, but he didn't find the ones who were the leaders, so he inevitably felt a little pity.
If they had been served last night, they would have been able to sit back and relax!
"Look at the clouds in the sky, there will be rain in the middle of the night tonight, and it's almost winter."
Tsing Yi pointed to the sky in the distance, the girl had taught her to see the changes in the sky, although it was not as elaborate as the Qin Tianjian, but she had tried many times and it was very accurate.
"So ......"
Yebai glanced at the chief guard and said with a smile: "We'll come back later in the evening and buy some winter clothes for everyone." ”
"Yes! Thank you for your concern. ”
Guard Zhang glanced at the materials that had been prepared but did not throw down the city gate, and understood a little in his heart.
Those who dare to take advantage of the fire to rob those who have crooked minds will not only not be able to please them, but they may also lose half their lives, this time it is just a warning to make them so embarrassed, if they really do it, the consequences will be unimaginable......
It was getting late, and the soldiers outside the West City Gate who had scolded their mothers for most of the day and then had hoarse voices formed a circle one by one, like lost dogs that had been beaten by frost.
Yebai and Tsing Yi came out of the room after dinner and reappeared on the castle tower.
"This day is really changing!"
Captain Zhang couldn't figure out their way, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything about distributing supplies, even if a few of these people in the city froze to death in the middle of the night, it was not something they could put their beaks on.
"Really! This day has changed! ”
Yebai sighed with emotion, his expression was extremely relaxed, and he watched the sunset as if no one was around. Eighth Library
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has ordered that since it is rumored that infected livestock have been found outside Luoxian County, the city gate will be temporarily closed and not opened, and winter clothes and resettlement grain will be put into the displaced people outside the city at regular intervals every day, and those who dare to disobey the order will be dealt with according to military law."
After Tsing Yi finished speaking, he handed a colored feather order to the chief of the guard, and took a step back slightly.
Captain Zhang looked at the feather order lying in his palm in shock, and immediately understood that he had been acting crookedly these days, and he had actually exchanged for the rumored Qin Wang Yu Order, and the enthusiasm and excitement that had been worn out by the world were stirred in his heart.
"Your subordinates, your subordinates, thank you King Qin for your trust!"
It is rumored that King Qin Yingwei used the feather order to send a message, and if an outsider holds a feather order, he can use this as a proof to ask the shadow guard to do things for him, as long as it is not a matter of harming heaven and reason, he will respond to his request!
"Your Highness said that the guards of Luo County have worked hard, and when the disaster relief is completed, they will definitely ask for a reward for your meritorious deeds."
Tsing Yi is still expressionless, it is impossible for His Royal Highness to take care of this, but the girl told them to do this, naturally it is also to stabilize people's hearts, this is a more gentle strategy.
"The lower officials don't dare! His Majesty will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations and defend Los Angeles! ”
The captain of the guard said in a deep voice, and the soldiers around him saluted one by one when they saw this.
These people have been guarding this city for decades, and this kind of feeling is not something that the rich officials of the county government can understand.
"Remember your words today, whether Luo County can survive the disaster safely depends on you."
Yebai tilted his head, and his opinion of Nan Jinyu changed again.
This is what Night Charm always said to him means that winning people's hearts is higher than martial arts, right?
"Ah...... Sneeze! ”
As soon as Nan Jinyu, who had been busy for most of the day, rested, she felt the tip of her nose itching, and after sneezing a few times, she sat at the table with tears in her eyes, a little doubtful of life.
Before, she always felt that Xiao Chen, the prince, was not too easy, and there was still time to tease her every day, but now that it has only been a few days, she is so tired that her hands and feet are sore and bitter, if he still needs to recuperate for a few days, she really wants to just pick and stop!
"Got a cold?"
The person on the couch in the inner room moved slightly, and his voice was a little tired.
The frost and snow on his body had melted a lot, but there was still some cold in the air, like it had just snowed, and it was cold to the bone.
"Ah, I'm fine, maybe I'm allergic."
Nan Jinyu shook her head, took a towel and wiped her face, feeling that her sleepy face had recovered a little before continuing to go back to the table and sit down.
"That's it for now, don't worry about the rest."
Xiao Chen couldn't bear to see her tired like that, but he had other thoughts in his heart.
After all, he never thought that there would be someone to do his thing, and he did it well, although at first she was really slow to write, but after a few days, it was now very neat.
"That's not good, there are so many left, if you don't deal with it today, what if there are more tomorrow?"
Nan Jinyu waved her hand, anyway, it's boring to just stay like this except for eating and sleeping, and finding something to do can be more fulfilling.
"Ming'er ......"
Xiao Chen wanted to speak and stopped, originally he wanted to say that after he suppressed the Gu worm back into sleep, his body felt much better, but seeing that she was so serious, he simply forgot it.
"How?"
Nan Jinyu paid attention to his expression and tone, and only thought about work.
"It's okay, I'll be fine in a few days, right?"
Xiao Chen hooked his lower lip, he couldn't live this idle life for many years, so he should be lazy.
"Well, I think you're talking like two people in the morning, maybe you'll be alive in two days......"
Nan Jinyu nodded, and her perfunctory tone sounded a little funny.
"If I hadn't seen you save Yebai with my own eyes, I would probably have to consider whether you were fooling me."
Xiao Chen shook his head, the more familiar she was, the more she felt that this girl's mind was very simple, and what she wanted was just a pure and simple life, so it would seem to be step-by-step.
"Bluffing?"
Nan Jinyu almost jumped up from the chair when she heard this, but thinking that he was still a patient, she sat back calmly.
"Your Highness is in the mood to joke, you can do the work of using your eyes and brains if you want to, right? I'll deal with these for you today, so you'll have to do it yourself! ”
Xiao Chen's originally happy face instantly darkened when he heard the words, but he couldn't refute her by half a word, as long as he said sullenly: "Oh." ”
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
Those who could only gag a few days ago have recovered most of their spirits in the past few days, except for the loss of three success forces affected by the epidemic has not recovered for the time being, Xiao Chen looks at it as if there is no major problem.
Knock knock!
"Master, Nightshade is back."
Night Charm stood outside the door, surrounded by a weathered night shadow, frighteningly silent.
"Come in."
Nan Jinyu came out with the medicine, and Xiao Chen was still in the ear room, so he didn't want to speak.
"Can I go in?"
Without waiting for Nightshade to respond, Nightshade grabbed his wrist and reflexively said.
After all, the door in front of me hasn't been opened for almost a month since it was closed on the first day!
"It's okay, Your Highness's lesions have been removed, if you don't feel at ease, you can not come in."
Nan Jinyu shook her head, after all, it is a disease with a very high mortality rate, and it is not a bad thing to be cautious.
"Your Highness, this is ...... Is it already? ”
Night Charm cried with joy, covered her face and turned her back, not wanting the people around her to stand still, just looking at him quietly.
"Well, well, it's okay if you have antibodies thoroughly, you won't be contagious."
Nan Jinyu slightly hooked the corners of her lower lip and deliberately teased them.
"Woo...... Wow! ”
Outside the door, the night ghost suddenly burst into tears, and the man who had always been known for his sophistication and ruthlessness cried like a three-year-old child.
"Ahem! Am I in trouble? ”
Nan Jinyu stuck out her tongue at Xiao Chen, who came out when she heard the sound, and handed him the cold medicine, her face a little worried.
"It's okay, come and sit down, and tell me what it means to have antibodies."
Xiao Chen took the medicine cup, pulled her to the table with one hand, and looked diligent and eager to greet the student.
“……”
Nan Jinyu was speechless for a moment, this demon always pulled her to ask a lot of strange things when she came in, she is not an encyclopedia, how can she know everything?
Outside the door, the Night Shadow, who was completely empty after crying, was still in a daze, and turned around and bumped into the person standing behind him, only to realize that the Night Shadow was still there.
"Finished crying?"
The voice of the night shadow is muffled, and he has been running around for days, and he can't take care of resting and eating, so he naturally looks haggard, and when he comes back, he hasn't cried yet, this guy is crying like this?
"Hmmm......"
Ye Mei raised her hand to cover her face in embarrassment, not wanting that the person opposite had already handed over a handkerchief, a clean gray linen handkerchief, and it was as stiff as his person when she looked at it.
"It's okay, it's all over."
Night Shadow patted him on the shoulder, pushed the door and walked in, leaving the stunned Night Charm alone, and Nan Jinyu and Xiao Chen, who were staring at him in shock.
This, this, this...... What the hell is it?
Does Nightshade care about people? Are the words so timely and considerate?
OMG!
"Subordinates, see master! The subordinates came back late, please punish His Highness. ”
Night Shadow stood in front of the door, his mind full of the man crying like a child outside the door, and his heart was like ten thousand ants crawling, driving him to want to run out.
"Can you punish you now?"
Xiao Chen came to such a sentence inexplicably, which was not at all like what he would usually say.
