Chapter 254: Knowing of the War
"Hey, come over for dinner later, I'll make your favorite bamboo shoots and roast pork." Aunt Osmanthus responded politely, and when she saw her son walking with Yun Yao to the West Courtyard, she couldn't say anything more.
Although Qiu Yue was careful to hide her own affairs, Qingqing and Xia He also faithfully did not tell her, but when she was an embroidery girl, she always had no one in her eyes, and she had a bad relationship with everyone, and some people still spread some gossip.
Although the rumors are chasing after the wind, but Qiuyue's body is not right, there is always a three-point truth.
This rumor spread back to Lijia Village, and the idle villagers began to point fingers at Qiuyue, and some people ran to ask Qingqing and Xia He. Although Qingqing Xia He refused to say it, their little girls would not deceive people, and there would always be some clues in their demeanor, and the rumors would spread even more fiercely.
Aunt Osmanthus listened to these rumors, and then quietly looked at Qiu Yue's demeanor and gait, and couldn't help but believe it, and regretted what happened in her heart. knew that this was the case, why did she break up her son and Xiaoyun. Fortunately now, neither side is settled.
Aunt Osmanthus sighed and took the things she had divided into the house, and said straight in her mouth: "Da Niu, this kid, it's really heartbreaking!" The two dogs have hired daughters-in-law in the neighboring village, isn't our big cow much better than him? ”
Li Xin was a little annoyed when he heard too much, and choked: "You don't have to worry about it, hurry up and make dinner." ”
"How is this idleness? You don't care about your son's marriage, don't you allow me to take care of it? Aunt Osmanthus knew that she was wrong, so she stopped talking after arguing, put the little girl on the kang and told her to play by herself, so she went to fetch the ingredients and prepare dinner.
Yun Yao followed Da Niu to the West Courtyard, and those royal city guards also consciously followed.
The bull arranged for them to guard the door, and then walked into the hall on their own. Yun Yao had a headache when she saw the people in the courtyard, and it was difficult to drive them away, so she had to ignore them first and follow the big cow into the house.
Xueyin became lively again after leaving everyone, she affectionately grabbed Da Niu's arm and shouted, "Brother Da Niu, do you miss me?" ”
Da Niu scratched his head and laughed, and said, "Xueyin, don't make trouble, I have something to say." ”
"Mmmm, let's go inside, I've brought you dried meat." Xueyin pulled Da Niu into the back room, took out a large bag of dried meat from the small bag she was carrying, handed it to Da Niu, and diligently helped him open it, saying, "Taste it, this is my favorite taste." ”
The big cow couldn't resist Xueyin anyway, so he had to take the dried meat and stuff it into his mouth, and threw another piece to the red heart at his feet. Seeing that Yun Yao also came in, he went to close the door and said solemnly: "You can't stay here, it's better to go back to the Goddess Palace as soon as possible." ”
"What's wrong?" Yun Yao was taken aback by his seriousness, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Da Niu repeated what he had just heard, and persuaded Yun Yao: "The Divine King Palace somehow has to get along with you. Originally, they were still worried about the prince's bad face and clearly killing you, but now that the two sides have torn their faces and are about to start a war, they will be even more unscrupulous in doing things. ”
"Ever since I came back, I've been feeling that there are people around me, I'm afraid it's someone from the Temple of the God King. You can't stay here, so it's better to move to the Goddess Palace as soon as possible. ”
"What are you afraid of, they can't catch me." Yun Yao shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I'm just coming back to see you, and I'll be back soon." Liangyu is afraid of the cold and wants me to take him there for the winter, and I want to ask if you want to go with you. ”
If there was no matter of the Divine King Palace, it would be really difficult for Da Niu to leave home during the Chinese New Year, but now that something like this has happened, he really can't stay at home if he leaves Yun Yao alone.
Hearing that Yun Yao was leaving, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, you wait for me, I'll go and tell my father and mother, let's leave early, the village may not be safe now." ”
The pursuit of the God King Palace, Yun Yao is really not afraid. With Xueyin here, as long as someone wants to be unfavorable to her, Xueyin can immediately teleport away with her, or hide directly back to modern times, and no one can find her.
What she is worried about now is Xiao Chuhan.
Where is this man's intelligence? Didn't he still deceive himself before? I haven't seen him for a few months, how did he become stupid?
The goddess said goodbye in the palace without saying goodbye, it turned out that he was going back to prepare for the war.
What can I do? It's already been beaten, and it's too late to say anything. National events are not child's play, although Xiao Chuhan is only the king of Xiliang, he is actually equivalent to the king of a country, and his every move may be related to the life and death of millions of people.
Yun Yao is a modern person, although she has not read for a few years, she has always studied Chinese history and world history, and knows the cruelty of war. In the event of a war, it is still the ordinary people who suffer.
Thinking of the conversation between the two that day, Yun Yao made things coherent.
The Great Elder ordered him to arrest himself and send him to the Divine King City, and he also wanted to raise taxes by 30% to Xiliang, but he refused to agree, and he refused to be wronged and begged to marry Yan Ji to ask the Great Elder for peace, so he could only go to war.
Da Niu was not there, there was only Xueyin in the house, and Yun Yao had to nag at Xueyin.
"Well, why is this man so shafted? If you are asked to marry, you will marry first, it is better than fighting. What now? ”
Xueyin has been nagged to death by her for the past two days, and she has said similar things over and over again, and she has long been tired of hearing them, and she has to be comforted by her words.
"Master, don't worry, Xiao Chuhan is not an impulsive person, he must be measured in his actions. Maybe we'll win? Then he wouldn't have to marry someone else. ”
"What does it matter to me whether he marries someone else or not? I don't like to fight, a lot of people will die! Yun Yao held her cheeks and sighed.
"You can't help it if you don't like it. It's the Divine King Palace who has been taking the initiative to find trouble with us, if you don't beat him, he still wants to beat you, it's better for us to do it first. Xueyin said a few words, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Master, do you want to go and have a look?" I haven't seen a real battlefield yet. ”
Thinking of the bloody scene she saw on TV, Yun Yao hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, it's terrible, I don't want to watch it at all." ”
One of the reasons why Xiliang started a war with God King City was for the master, but now the matter is getting bigger, and the master may not be able to hide it. Xue Yin was worried, and she didn't have the leisure to care about Yun Yao's little hypocrisy, and her mind was full of things about her own evolution.
We can't delay any longer, and we must collect all four jade hooks as soon as possible.
Xueyin was in a hurry to return to the Goddess Palace to find Nangong Mo, and seeing that Da Niu had gone and hadn't come back, she was a little anxious. She stood up and looked out, pricking up her ears to listen to the movement next door.
Da Niu returned home and saw that the old lady was cooking in the kitchen, so he went to the back room to find Li Xin first.
"Dad, something happened in the royal city, I'm afraid I can't celebrate the New Year at home. You stay at home with your mother and don't go anywhere, just wait for me to come back. ”
The Chinese New Year is a big event for the people, and when he heard that his son was leaving at this time, Li Xin was a little anxious.
"What's the matter? Can't spend years at home? You are the eldest son in the family, and you are the candidate for the next village head, so many things are inseparable from you. ”
Da Niu hesitated, but he still didn't dare to tell Li Xin about the war. Dad is just an ordinary person, knowing too much won't do him any good, so let's let him spend the New Year in peace.
He only shook his head and said, "It's a matter in the royal city, Xiaoyun will be in some danger, and I have to follow to protect her." After I leave, if a stranger comes to the village to inquire around, Dad, you can tell the big guy, just say that you don't know, and don't say anything else. ”
Seeing that Da Niu had made up his mind, Li Xin couldn't insist any longer. He only told him repeatedly: "Be careful yourself, and pay attention to safety." Your mother and I are both old, Erniu is still young, our family can't live without you! ”
Looking at Daddy's premature face and gray hair, Da Niu was sad for a while. When he was seriously injured and abandoned, it was because he couldn't rest assured that his father and mother couldn't get out, so he struggled desperately to come out. Now that his father and mother have not enjoyed his blessings for a few days, he is leaving again.
Da Niu took out a piece of silver from his waist bag and stuffed it into Li Xin's hand, and said, "Dad, this is the money I got from hunting a few days ago, you can keep it." This winter is cold, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go out in a few days. You go to the city earlier to buy some meat and vegetables, get the New Year's goods, and don't go out again before the beginning of spring. ”
Li Xin hid the silver in his pocket, took Da Niu's hand and asked, "When are you leaving?" I'll ask your mother to make some dry food for you to bring, and then I'll give you the winter clothes prepared for the New Year. ”
Da Niu wanted to follow Yun Yao to the Goddess Palace, find a place where no one was and teleport away, and he didn't need any winter clothes and dry food. He shook his head and said, "Don't want those, you use it for yourself first." It's cold, and I need a lot of firewood, so I'll go and chop some for you. ”
The big bull went out with an axe and saw, and the sound of snow was heard by everyone over there.
"Master, Brother Da Niu has gone to chop wood, let's go and have a look." She took Yun Yao's arm and begged.
Yun Yao was bored sitting idly, Qingqing and Xia He were working in Fang Liangyu's embroidery workshop, and they wouldn't come back until the New Year, and there was no one to chat with her here.
"Let's go out for a walk." Yun Yao walked out with Xueyin, and the guards hurriedly divided a few people to follow, and the others continued to guard in the courtyard.
Da Niu had already said that there were suspicious people in the village snooping, so Yun Yao didn't let them follow, and asked them as he walked, "Is your news reliable?" Are we really at war with God King City? ”
An outward-looking guard took a step forward and replied, "Reliable, we listened to Mayor Fang." The prince ordered him to protect the safety of the county lord, and any news was delivered urgently for eight hundred miles, and it would definitely not be wrong. ”
Xiao Chuhan, he has fought with the God King Palace, and he is still worried about his safety? Yun Yao's heart softened, and her gaze softened.
I was angry with him again that day, and I was so angry that he hurried back to Wangcheng overnight. He's not cured yet, and I don't know what is going on now. Why don't you sneak over and have a look someday?
The big cow was chopping wood at the bottom of the mountain, and Yun Yao also walked down the mountain with a team of guards. She only thought that there would be no danger in the remote village, but she didn't know that someone had been lurking in the mountains for a long time.
