Chapter 280: An Unspeakable Secret
After practicing light skills on the water for a while, Xia Chutao felt that he had already achieved something, and he felt that he should be able to let Peony teach him something deeper, but for such a period of time, Xia Chutao has not found Peony.
"It's weird, where did the shopkeeper go?"
Xia Chutao sat in his room, just biting the fruit and eating it slowly, the clouds outside the window slowly moved over Xia Chutao's eyes, everything looked quiet and beautiful.
"Today's food was also brought to you."
Li Huanling came in as usual without saying hello, still holding a large pot of food in her hand, every day and every day, even if the peony did not come forward, everything in the peony pavilion was running as usual.
Xia Chutao looked at Li Huanling,
"I've been delivering food lately, are you busy?"
Li Huanling gave the food to Tao Baihao at the beginning of Xia with her hands and feet, as if she had taken the time to return to her.
"Hey, you don't know what you've been here all day long, and there's been a lot of people coming in the building lately. The shopkeeper is not there, and almost everything in the building is on me. โ
This is true, although Li Huanling looks like a maid, she is the most neat and clean hand and foot in the building, and she is also the most trustworthy of Peony.
Many people say that if the peony stops doing it one day, the most likely person to take over the peony's hand is Li Huanling, so the second-in-command after the peony is Li Huanling.
"Speaking of which, it seems like there have been a sudden increase in people lately."
Xia Chutao happened to be able to see the situation downstairs clearly upstairs, and she vaguely felt that there were indeed more people who had come to Cliff City recently, and she could often see pedestrians coming and going downstairs.
"What's going on? I don't think I've seen that many people in the past. โ
"It's almost a war."
Xia Chutao was stunned, and the food she was holding in her hand was not fragrant in an instant, she looked at Li Huanling fixedly, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
"What? Fight? โ
"yes."
Li Huanling also rarely caught a good time to rest, so she simply rested directly at Xia Chutao's place first, so she sat down next to Xia Chutao with a plate.
"It seems that you don't know about this matter yet, there is going to be a war again, and it is clear that it has only been a long time since Beizhao and Dawan were born."
At the beginning of summer, the peach couldn't eat what was in his hand anymore, and slowly took off the food from his mouth.
"When?"
Li Huanling glanced at Xia Chutao, it seemed that she had really been in the room for too long, and she didn't know anything.
"It's lonely and unheard, this is what the emperor just said a few days ago, and he is already preparing. I heard that in a month, the general will go to the battlefield again. โ
Xia Chutao's heart was very complicated, why did he rashly decide to start a war with Beizhao at this time.
At the beginning of the summer, Tao stayed in Beizhao for such a period of time, and he could be regarded as seeing some of the situation in Beizhao.
Although Beizhao is not as rich in materials as Dawan, it is strong and strong, and the army is even more elite. Now at this time, Dawan went to fight with Beizhao, and he couldn't get a little benefit at all.
Even if you can take a small advantage on the battlefield, it may be the price of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000.
"If you start a war at this time, there will be no harm but no benefit."
Xia Chutao thought for a while and couldn't help but say so.
But Li Huanling on the side didn't understand this, and looking at Xia Chutao's anxious appearance, she was very puzzled.
"It's not because the Beizhao attacked Yuecheng for no reason a while ago, I heard that it was Tianwei who was angry, so this is the decision to fight the Beizhao and make them suffer."
"And what are you worried about, do you know our general?"
Xia Chutao watched Li Huanling describe the appearance of the general to herself, she was completely a girl who was longing, and even her eyes were shining.
Xia Chutao: It seems that Fu Rin has quite a lot of female fans.
"I don't know, what kind of person is the general?"
Xia Chutao held back her smile, but at this time, she remembered to make fun of Li Huanling.
"I had the pleasure of seeing it when the general came back a few years ago, and I saw it very clearly."
Looking at Li Huanling's proud appearance, Xia Chutao also came to the beginning and asked.
"Oh? How's that, tell me? General Su Wen is very majestic, and he hasn't seen it yet. โ
"Hey, don't say it, it's really majestic, wearing iron armor, a red cloak, a sash in his hand, and a sword. The most important thing is that the general's face is simply too manly, especially the bearded ....."
"Poofโ"
The soup that Xia Chutao had just drunk into her mouth couldn't help but squirt out, and she looked at Li Huanling, who was also looking at her sluggishly, in amazement, Li Huanling didn't seem to understand why Xia Chutao had such a reaction.
"What are you doing?"
Li Huanling blinked.
"Beard?"
Xia Chutao laughed a little breathlessly, she had been with Fu Rin for so long, when had she ever seen Fu Rin have a beard.
"Yes, the beard here, but even if it is professional, it still can't hide that handsome face."
Li Huanling said and compared, according to what she said, the beard of "Fu Rin" she saw was already in her heart, such a long beard, no matter how you look at it, it will not be Fu Rin.
"What are you laughing at, I'm not wrong, you laugh at me like this, as if you've seen a general."
Li Huanling frowned a little displeased, very dissatisfied with Xia Chutao's performance.
"No, no, I haven't seen it."
Xia Chutao held back her laughter and waved her hand, knowing that if she continued to laugh like this, she would inevitably be beaten by Li Huanling.
"So what are you laughing at, what's so funny."
Li Huanling pouted, retracted her gaze, and smiled again.
"I see that you seem to be very worried, you can rest assured of this, our general has never suffered defeat in a war, such a character is really powerful."
Li Huanling said, just holding her chin as if she was fantasizing about something, Xia Chutao looked at her like she was about to flow down.
"I also heard that the general loves one of his little ladies very much."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Chutao,
"It seems to be the same surname as you, and the surname is Xia, saying that it is a husband and wife who are deeply in love, alas..... If only I could marry such a man, the family and the country are not wrong, a great hero, a good husband..."
Xia Chutao listened next door, I don't know why she was obviously praising Fu Rin, but she was goosebumps when she heard it.
"This Xia Xiaoniang is right in front of you, hahahaha."
"Little Peach, you're quite famous."
"Li Huanling didn't expect that this was the closest time she was to the general."
It is difficult for Xia Chutao to describe this feeling of living in other people's descriptions, so she can only branch Li Huanling Dao.
"Oh, I know, don't I think that fighting a war is the worst thing for ordinary people, and I also know that our general has not tasted defeat, and he will definitely be able to return triumphantly this time."
When Li Huanling heard Xia Chutao say this, she seemed to be a little satisfied in her heart, and stood up holding the plate in her arms.
"It's pretty much the same, you have a good rest, I'll go ahead and get busy."
After Li Huanling left, Xia Chutao's whole person quieted down, and began to think about this matter carefully, always feeling that something was wrong.
Li Huanling also said just now that the emperor attacked Beizhao because of the Yuecheng incident, but Xia Chutao knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with Beizhao at all.
That's obviously because.... Zhao Yufeng.
Xia Chutao remembered very well that those people were also Dawan people at all, but Xia Chutao Dao didn't understand why Zhao Yufeng and the group of Beizhao people wanted to do such a thing, and why they led the Beizhao and Dawan to start a war.
Xia Chutao slowly lay down, looking at the clouds floating outside, thinking about this question very seriously.
But for some reason, she was sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
......
"Ahh
I don't know how long it took, but Xia Chutao was woken up by a strange sound.
She was still facing her window, but it was already dark at this time, and the evening breeze that occasionally blew in was chilling.
Xia Chutao listened carefully, only to find that there seemed to be a faint sound of a woman's moaning in the evening breeze, which sounded like it was very painful.
"What's that sound?"
Xia Chutao glanced at the sky outside, and often at this time it was time for him to go out to practice, so this was the first time Xia Chutao had heard such a voice, and it was still a little scary just listening to it.
Xia Chutao continued to be quiet and listened for a while, and then she felt that this voice seemed to be a little familiar....
"Why is it so like the voice of a peony?"
At the beginning of summer, Peach's heart sank: Peony, what's wrong?
It sounded as if it was a sound that could only be produced by gritting its teeth desperately as if it were suffering great pain.
Xia Chutao immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately got up from his bed, and then directly opened the door and walked towards the fifth floor.
Peony usually explained that he was not allowed to go to the fifth floor, but at this time, Xia Chutao couldn't care so much.
She quickly ascended the stairs, and then stood in the empty hallway on the fifth floor.
On the quiet fifth floor, between the empty corridors, the sound of peony moaning is even clearer, and the peach at the beginning of summer is numb when she listens to it.
At the beginning of summer, Tao remembered where the peony's wing was, so she quickly came to the peony's room, and at this time, the moaning was also put to the maximum.
"Peony!"
Xia Chutao directly opened the door in front of him, but when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, Xia Chutao's eyes were straight.
