Ming Qiang was looking forward to Ming Yuechen's reaction.

Panic, or consternation, did not show on Ming Yuechen's face.

He was listening to Mingqiang tell stories, and he was not listening to Mingqiang talk about herself.

"You have been in the Eastern Dawn Imperial City all these years." Ming Yuechen ignored Ming Qiang's smile, and he opened his mouth to himself, "If you can understand these things, your status should not be low, and it has something to do with Prince Dongshu?" ”

The smile on Mingqiang's face gradually faded.

Ming Yuechen knew that he had guessed correctly, and he continued: "You defected back then, and it was also for him?" ”

Ming Qiang pursed her lips and looked at Ming Yuechen with a complicated expression, and after half a ring, her gaze returned to indifference again, her body tilted, and she lay down.

As long as the events of the year were mentioned, Ming Qiang kept silent and didn't say a word.

Ming Yuechen didn't think that he could have the ability to make Ming Qiang speak, so as soon as Ming Qiang lay down, he got up and turned to leave.

Ming Yan sat outside waiting for him, staring at the soup cup in her hand and didn't know what she was thinking, when she heard the door opening, she looked up at Ming Yuechen and smiled at him: "How is it?" ”

Although he was smiling, Ming Yuechen could see that Ming Jiang was very lonely.

She and Ming Qiang were originally her closest people, but now. It seems to be far away from her again.

Ming Yuechen bowed slightly, and naturally took the soup cup in Ming Jiang's hand, there was nothing in his hand, but Ming Jiang didn't have the calm appearance before he came, sighed, turned his back and walked forward: "I left some for you, go back and drink." ”

After speaking, he fell silent, and suddenly there was no topic.

Ming Yan turned his face sideways to look at Ming Yuechen from time to time, and was swept away by Ming Yuechen, and was a little embarrassed to dodge the cover of his gaze.

Saying that she is not curious and doesn't want to know is naturally false, Ming Yuechen was raised by her, and now she suddenly learned that he and Dongshu have an inextricable relationship, Ming Yan has mixed tastes in her heart, and it is very unpleasant.

She was afraid that what Ming Qiang said would make Ming Yuechen have demons, this child has been sensible since he was a child, but because he is too sensible, he likes to carry many things by himself.

After walking all the way, Ming Yuechen didn't have the intention of mentioning it, and Ming Yan didn't want to ask, so he gave up first.

Fortunately, not long after returning from Ming Qiang, Jiang Tingye and Qi Dao came over together, saying that they had found a team of soldiers and horses outside, and they should have gone outside to inquire about the news, but as soon as they came back, they realized that something was wrong with the border city before they got close, and they were about to observe and decide whether to continue forward, but they were caught by Jiang Tingye.

Jiang Tingye was very excited, now one more captive is considered a credit, he is too lacking in credit!

The team was stripped clean, tortured one by one, and then imprisoned in a prisoner camp.

The people of the border city were worried about the burning and looting of the Great Jin Dynasty did not come, they only occupied a piece of the south of the city, and the rest of the place was still left for them to live, in the first few days, the old people were still trembling and did not dare to move, and then probably saw that the Great Jin army did not plan to slaughter the city, and the older people dared to come to the army to say, they had no food, when the war was fought, all the supplies in the city were handed over to the army, they waited for the army to issue rations every three days, before saving food, now it is really nothing, The child is so hungry that he cries, there is really no way.

Ming Qiang was captured, Song Zhuoao fled, and no one cared about them.

This matter was reported layer by layer, and when it came to Qi Dao, he remembered that there were too many trivial things, and he forgot about these defenseless women, children and old people.

There are no more strong men in the border cities, and all those who can go to the battlefield are on the battlefield.

Knowing that there was going to be a war, those who had a little money were all sorted out and went to the direction of the imperial city, young people joined the army, the family could have more rations, and the place to live could be better, now that the border city has fallen, there are still left, and it looks pitiful, Ming Yuechen has too many things, and he didn't even take care of it.

In the prisoner camp, I don't know how many of them are their children and relatives, these things can't be thought about, the war is so cruel in the first place, and if you don't kill indiscriminately, it is already the lowest limit of the Great Jin.

If it was the Great Jin Dynasty that was defeated today, Song Zhuoao would not have such good intentions.

As long as the captives are willing to surrender, it is still possible to reunite with their families in the future, so no one in the prisoner camp in the border city made trouble, and they knew that their family was still alive and well outside.

Jiang Tingye didn't find a lone team outside at night, ten days have passed, because of the rations distributed by the Great Jin, the streets can occasionally see the people of Dongshu walking around, some are going home to get things, some are just simple big children with small children running around, curious and scared, they know that someone is gone, but they have not seen the bones and blood with their own eyes, in the world of children, they still can't understand what war is.

They just think there are too many unfamiliar faces in the city.

When Jiang Tingye came back, he was riding on a high horse, and a round and dirty ball rolled in front of him from the side of the path, Jiang Tingye tightened the reins and looked sideways.

In the shadow of the alleyway, the face of half a boy was exposed.

His face, hands, and clothes were as dirty as the ball, and there were quite a few people behind him, pushing him, probably trying to get him to come forward and pick it up.

After a while, Jiang Tingye saw a lot of round heads sticking out.

After they saw Jiang Tingye at night, they didn't move.

The people behind him were going to pick up, but Jiang Tingye stopped him, he felt that he was probably too bored waiting for news, so he wanted to tease the children in the border city.

He turned over and dismounted, picked up the small ball in front of him, squatted down slightly, and waved to the child over there: "Do you want it?" ”

The little boy's eyes lit up, and after running forward two steps, he was frightened back by the soldiers wearing armor and swords behind Jiang Tingye, and he hid back in the alley, blinking and staring at the ball in Jiang Tingye's hand.

Jiang Tingye turned around and asked the soldiers to step back a little further, and then raised the things in his hand: "Come here and get it!" ”

He waited patiently here for a while, and the little boy over there finally stepped out again, he first walked a few steps, and after making sure that the people over there were not moving, he trotted to Jiang Tingye, carefully stretched out his hand, and took the dirty ball.

Jiang Tingye stared at him and whispered, "Where do you live?" ”

The little boy raised his hand and looked in a direction, Jiang Tingye didn't look at it, and he didn't know when he saw it, he just asked casually, nothing special.

"And where do you live now?"

The little boy turned around and pointed to the position behind him: "There." ”

He can't say why, the child's world is very simple, Jiang Tingye helped him pick up the ball, and let those terrible people stand farther away, as it should be, the child thinks that he is a very good person, and when he meets a good person, he naturally musters up the courage and wants to ask if he has a stomach.

Jiang Tingye bowed his head and was about to get up when the little boy suddenly said, "My lord, are you done fighting?" ”

He didn't seem to know whether the soldier in front of him was from Dajin or Dongshu.

Jiang Tingye stopped his figure: "Yes, it's over." ”

"And when will my brother come back?" The little boy looked expectant, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, when they repel the army of the Great Jin, everyone's father and brother will be able to go home, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give us meat to eat and give us money to spend, my brother said, when the battle is over, there will be money to send me to study." ”

He said it very seriously, and completely believed Song Zhuoao's casual and passionate words.

The things he was looking forward to should not be there, Jiang Tingye stared at him, he didn't know what to say, he was silent for a while, and the little boy said again: "Commander Ming is also gone. ”

Jiang Tingye raised his eyebrows: "Have you seen her before?" ”

The little boy nodded: "Before, Commander Ming brought people to send us things, Commander Ming was good to us, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very powerful when he first came, and Commander Ming protected us." ”

A child does not lie, he sees what he sees in his eyes and hears in his ears, and he speaks it.

When Song Zhuoao first came to the border city, it seemed that the reputation was really not good, but Mingqiang was very popular with the people, and even such a young child knew her.

Jiang Tingye felt a different feeling in his heart, he was originally going to leave, but now he was not in a hurry to leave, he pulled the child over to his side, and his movements were gentle, making him feel more warmth: "Does the prince listen to Commander Ming's words very much?" ”

The little boy didn't quite understand what Jiang Tingye meant by being obedient, so he replied according to his understanding: "I heard grandpa say that Commander Ming is the prince's side concubine." ”

This is a bombshell, the little radish head knows a lot, Jiang Tingye's eyes lit up, and he stared straight at the children who were about to come over and want to come over.

He hooked the corners of his mouth and said to the little boy, "Have you eaten with your friends?" ”

The little boy shook his head.

Jiang Tingye laughed: "I'll take you to eat delicious food, eat meat, okay?" ”

The word meat is simply a fatal temptation.

After eating dry buns for so many days, no child can stand such temptation.

Jiang Tingye smoothly brought this group of children to Mingyi.

Qi Dao refused to participate in such a thing, Jiang Tingye also felt that he had better not come, a stinky face was fierce to death, and when he came, he didn't scare all the children into crying?

Qi Dao doesn't have the same knowledge as him, this matter is troublesome, who likes to do it, coax children? Don't think he's going to do it.

However, things were a little simpler and smoother than Jiang Tingye thought.

The children had seen Song Zhuoao from afar, and Ming Jiang and Jiang Tingye were fine when they were inside, but as soon as they saw Ming Yuechen come in, several children stopped eating.

They nervously stood up and knelt down and kowtowed to the movements that the adults had taught them countless times before.

The mouth shouted: "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Ming Yuechen's face changed, and he raised his head and asked Ming Jiang and Jiang Tingye for help.

Jiang Tingye's eyes rolled, and he pushed Ming Yuechen out of the door, so that he could withdraw after showing his face, and leave the rest to her.

Ming Yuechen probably knew what kind of medicine Jiang Tingye was selling in the gourd, he pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and left with a somewhat ugly face.

In the afternoon, Jiang Tingye learned a lot of news that Ming Qiang refused to disclose based on the children's gossip testimony.

When he sent the children back to the alley, he told them not to mention today's events to the adults in the family, otherwise there would be no meat to eat next time, and their father and brothers would not be able to go back.

It's best for children to be bought, and it's best to intimidate, Jiang Tingye said a word, a group of children scattered as birds and beasts, and they all closed their mouths, today's incident has become a secret between them, and they will not mention it to others again.

From the children's oral accounts to piece together the possible events of the year, everything has an eyebrow and a source, and it is no longer as helpless as a blind man touching an elephant.

When Qi Dao and Ming Yuechen listened to Jiang Tingye retell the story of the information he and Ming Jiang asked, the expressions on their faces were wonderful.

Ming Yuechen was a kind of forbearance and restraint, and Qi Dao was completely speechless.

After listening to Jiang Tingye's words, Qi Dao squeezed out a cold snort from between his teeth: "This is a so-called woman who gets carried away for love, she is really irrational." ”

After speaking, considering that Ming Jiang was here, Qi Dao swallowed back all the words that followed.

He really can't think of any exploration mood for Ming Qiang, in his opinion, a traitor is a traitor, if it weren't for Ming Qiang, she would have died a long time ago, who cares why she defected back then?!

Qi Dao took a deep breath, still didn't want to get involved, he just wanted to know when Qi Ying's instructions would come, so after saying that, after being silent in the room for two seconds, Qi Dao found an excuse to get up and leave.

Ming Jiang was silent for a while, she clenched her fists when she stood up, and Jiang Tingye was so frightened that she jumped forward to persuade her: "Aunt Jiang, after all, so many years have passed since this matter, she was still young back then, and her brain is not clear, but if you go to beat people now, it will be inevitable. Some of them have passed, and she is still hurt, and besides, she is also at this time, not good-looking Aunt Jia. ”

Ming Jiang was stunned, and after reacting to what Jiang Tingye was thinking, he laughed angrily: "You think I'm going to beat someone?!" ”

Jiang Tingye picked his head: "If you don't fight, then you can't fight. Nature is the best. ”

Minghua tugged at the corners of her mouth, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows: "I'm just going to talk to her." ”

After speaking, he strode forward: "Don't follow." ”

Jiang Tingye's voice chased behind: "Aunt Jia! There's something to say! Don't do it! ”

Ming Jiang didn't look back.

Jiang Tingye snorted twice, leaned over to Ming Yuechen's side, and pestled him: "You say, a character like Aunt Jia, no man can get into her eyes in her life, how can her own sister be like this." Not clear-headed? Still fancy a man like Song Zhuoao? Don't say that Aunt Jiang is angry, this is going to be replaced by my sister, and the skin is all picked up for me! ”

Ming Yuechen lowered his head and ignored him.

Jiang Tingye frowned, a little displeased: "What are you doing with a lost face?" It has nothing to do with you.,You put on this face.,I don't know if I think you have any empathetic experience.。。 ”

Before Jiang Tingye finished speaking, Ming Yuechen suddenly stood up straight, he glanced at Jiang Tingye, and then walked straight away.

Jiang Tingye was stunned by his glance, and by the time he reacted, Ming Yuechen had already walked out a long distance.

Jiang Tingye touched his head and said irritablely: "What a tantrum with me!" ”

That glance made people panic.

What did he say wrong? Nor is it? This man is really. More and more eccentric.

Jiang Tingye muttered, it's not fun to find yourself, where is there someone who has a cold ass and has to catch up? He didn't go, so he turned around and headed for the makeshift exercise ground.

It's been a few more days since we last met.

Ming Qiang's injury has improved, when Ming Hua came in, she lazily raised her eyelids, but her heart was full of chuckles, thinking that Ming Yuechen had told Ming Hua the previous story, otherwise, the person who came to see her again should be Ming Yuechen.

Her heart sank because of Ming's next words, and then another emotion rose.

"You're married to Prince Dongshu?!" Mingjiao was furious, and she came to ask Mingqiang for a definite answer.

Ming Qiang raised her eyes to look at her, obviously she didn't expect Ming Jiang to suddenly ask this sentence, the whole person froze in place, her stunned expression paused, and it fell into Ming Yan's eyes, which was already a tacit acquiescence.

Ming Yan was speechless for a while, full of anger in her stomach, and when she came to her, she only asked such a sentence.

I have the rest to say, but I seem to think that this is enough for only this sentence.

She stood for a moment, then turned around and found a stool to sit on.

The two sisters both withdrew their gaze and looked into different distances, their eyes were not intertwined, and there was still only strangeness and embarrassment in the air.

Mingjiao is waiting for Mingqiang to speak, at least. After she asked this sentence, there was a little bit of explanation.

But no, Mingqiang still insisted on herself, she didn't say anything, even if the default was so obvious, she still didn't say a word about the past.

She didn't mention it, so she could only talk about it herself.

"You defected back then, just for such a man who left you on the battlefield?!"

"Let me guess, when you and Song Zhuoao met each other, they were always hidden, you didn't expect him to be Dongshu's person, right?"

"Why leave suddenly? Something happened to him? Or did something happen to you? ”

Ming's voice was clear: "Or both?" ”

Mingqiang pursed her lips, and her whole person trembled slightly.

"Are you pregnant?"

Ming Xuan's last words fell, and she raised her eyes to look at Ming Qiang, and from her suddenly pale face and suddenly clenched fingers, she could see that she had guessed correctly.

She and Song Touao fell in love.

During the march, she turned out to be pregnant.

Mingyi stood up quickly, and the stool fell down, making a dull sound.

At this moment, she didn't know whether she should blame Ming Qiang or not.

She's just... It was among my sister and my own children that I chose the more vulnerable one.

Ming Jiang will not necessarily die or lose without reinforcements.

But if her children had gone to the battlefield once, they would have died.

The situation back then would only be worse than she thought.

Mingjiao took a deep breath, she wanted to question, and even more wanted to scold, but when the words came to her mouth, only a weak pleading remained: "Mingqiang, it's all now, are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?" Now that it's been like this, don't you really regret it? Is it really worth it? Turn back, Mingqiang, it's time to turn back! ”
