168 His past
At this time, Lu Wuxian took his small medicine box and opened the curtain and walked in.
"Go to bed and lie down, you have suffered a lot of injuries along the way, I heard the emperor say that you have a scar on your hand, I will see if I can help you heal."
He gestured toward the bed, turning his head and fiddling with his medicine box.
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced back at him, and instead of lying down, he lifted the curtains wider and lay on the side, feeling the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
The weather in April and May is not too hot, but the temperature from afar is not negligible, and even the wind blowing in is blazing.
"Don't look at it, this war is already inevitable, even if the emperor does not ally and does not send troops at this time, it will not be long before it may be an alliance between Nanming and Yue."
Lu Wuxian came over with a bunch of medicine bottles.
"Beigong Yu said that he disturbed Chu Muruo's ...... that day," Xia Xiaoxiao paused, "The assassin of the welcoming team is someone sent by Helian Chi, how could Chu Boyuan join forces with Helian Chi?" β
Putting down the curtain, Lu Wuxian was already in front of him, rolled up his sleeves and lay down, saying that Lai Helian Chi might be the most cunning one, first he made peace with Nanming Guo, and then he prevented the strong power in Nanming Guo from blocking Chu Muruo's good deeds, it is estimated that he is not sure whether Chu Boyuan will attack him in the future, after all, now just a Beigong Yu is also a little headache for him.
"The princess of the Yue Kingdom has married to Nanming, on the surface, the two countries are already on the same side, and the assassins of that day all died in the hands of the Beigong Pheasant, and none of them lived, even if Chu Boyuan knew, there was no evidence that this thing was done by Helian Chi, if it was beneficial to Chu Boyuan, he had no reason to refuse to join forces with the Yue Kingdom when the war started."
Lu Wuxian looked at the long scar on her hand that almost cut the entire forearm, and glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao in shock, "How did you get this injury?" Can you make such an ugly cut on your arm? β
"When I just escaped from Yong'an Temple and hid in Beigong Yu."
Xia Xiaoxiao also took a look, at first she felt very ugly when she looked at it, but now the scar has almost fallen off, and the newly grown flesh is uneven, she is a little used to it. In fact, it doesn't matter if it can be cured or not, it is said that how can people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes not be stabbed? Although her scar is not cut by a knife, it is also a bit symbolic.
"You are doing it yourself, I reminded you before, Beigong Pheasant Li didn't have a good calculation in his heart from the day he returned to the palace, but you are okay, Baba's self posted it."
Lu Wuxian adjusted the wound medicine in the bowl, glanced up at her and continued, "That's because the emperor can't rest assured of you, and when he knew about it, he ordered that nothing about the departure of Beigong Pheasant should be mentioned in the palace." β
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't turn his head and snorted coldly, "He's worried that I'll run away." β
Lu Wuxian didn't bother to argue with her, the cold medicine was filled with bitterness in the air, and it was smeared on the scar little by little, although it didn't hurt, but it was still very uncomfortable, as if it needed to be applied in many layers, and after each coat, Lu Wuxian had to turn around and adjust the medicine again, and sometimes add some other ointments, Xia Xiaoxiao still didn't trust him, "Although this scar is ugly, don't waste my hand if you don't heal it by then." β
"When I was practicing medicine to save my life, maybe I was still playing in the mud somewhere!"
Lu Wuxian hated others questioning his medical skills the most in his life, and glared at Xia Xiaoxiao fiercely at the moment.
"As long as you are still a doctor to save your life? I followed Beigong Yu all day long, and I didn't see that you had any doctor's heart. β
"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can ask the emperor, when the emperor's life was hanging by a thread, I pulled him back from the ghost gate, otherwise how could you have a day like today without worrying about eating and drinking? β
Lu Wuxian looked proud, Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Beigong Yu? β
Lu Wuxian realized what he had said, and the hand holding the medicine spoon paused, "Hmm." β
"Heh, I didn't expect Beigong Yu to have a time when he needed someone to save him."
Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly became interested and rubbed up, "You talk to me?" β
"What kind of person do you think, the emperor?"
Lu Wuxian glanced out, Beigong Yu was still discussing with the soldiers, this tent was specially arranged for Beigong Yu by General Ji before, a safe place in the entire army station, even if someone sneaked up from the rear, they couldn't come here, even the defense was the strictest, and now there were two soldiers left outside the tent.
"I can't tell, there's too much bad water in my stomach."
Xia Xiaoxiao thought about it and said honestly, she had never seen Beigong Yu through, he hid everything in his heart, just like Duan Jinyun's matter at the beginning, in fact, he had known it for a long time, but he had always regarded it as an outsider, but if it weren't for him, Duan Jinyun would not have fallen into his hands.
"In your eyes, you can guarantee that Beigong Pheasant is not filled with bad water in his stomach?"
Lu Wuxian glanced at her, "What you see is only after the emperor became the crown prince." β
Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the palm-sized side hall she had been to, and Beigong Yu lived in that place before he became the prince.
"The Emperor...... Presumably, you also know the matter between the emperor and Duan Jinyun, Duan Jinyun jumped off the moat at the beginning, in fact, part of the reason was that Concubine Chen was a hindrance in it. β
Another layer of medicine in his hand was adjusted, Xia Xiaoxiao consciously lay down and let his arm lay flat on the edge of the bed, and repeated, "Concubine Chen? β
"The biological mother of the emperor and Beigong Pheasant."
Applying a small medicinal spoon to the scar, he really looked like an old doctor with deep medical skills in his hands, Xia Xiaoxiao listened while quietly looking at the top of his head in a daze.
Twenty years ago, Duan Jinyun was pregnant with an heir almost at the same time as Concubine Chen, but at this time Beigong Chengyan rebelled, Concubine Chen thought that she was carrying Beigong Chengyan's strength, so she made a plan to make Duan Jinyun germinate the idea of suicide, but she didn't want Beigong Chengyan to do the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to give him death, Beigong Yu had been living in the side hall before becoming the prince, and had never had a grudge with anyone, but he was assassinated shortly after Beigong Pheasant disappeared, and he happened to meet Master Jingfa at that time and saved him from that person's hands. Lu Wuxian happened to complete medicine at that time, and Beigong Yu became the first person he saved.
When it was said that Beigong Yu was dying due to the assassin's slander, Lu Wuxian couldn't help but be speechless, Beigong Yu was hit by two swords at that time, one sword was almost the heart on the chest, and the other was next to the ribs next to the lungs, both swords were almost killed, when the Pure Law Master found him, he had just been thrown off the cliff, at that time he was not the prince, no one cared about life or death, even if he returned to the palace, he would not live for two days at most, Lu Wuxian was a little afraid when he thought about it now, if it wasn't for his luck at that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull him back from the ghost gate.
Xia Xiaoxiao had seen Beigong Yu injured, but she had never seen him fall, Lu Wuxian told her that she couldn't imagine how many injuries there were, but she didn't expect that Beigong Yu had been so embarrassed, just like she and Ji Xiaoer at the beginning, no one cared about life or death, which time was beaten and didn't get up on her own? Even the money for the doctor's medicine was stolen from others.
Lu Wuxian gave her the wound medicine over and over again, and wrapped several layers of gauze, "This matter is estimated to be the master of the Pure Law, the emperor and I know about it, I tell you that if the emperor knows about this matter, the emperor will have to kill me." β
"Who doesn't have a down-and-out moment? It's not something to be seen by, what can't be said to be so secretive? β
Because the gauze on her hands was wrapped in layers, she was a little unaccustomed to it.
"Seven or eight years have passed since this incident, at first I thought it was Duan Jinyun's hands and feet, but now it doesn't seem like that, in the past few years, the emperor has occasionally asked me to investigate some news, but in the end, no clues have been found, this matter is unknown for a day, it is a knot in the emperor's heart."
He packed up his things and began to tell her some words not to touch the water, Xia Xiaoxiao got up lazily and sighed, "What a person who holds grudges." β
"The emperor has done everything so far is not just for his own selfishness, the secrets hidden under the totem are by no means as simple as you see, since the emperor wants you to stay by his side, you must know something, the emperor can go from a down-and-out prince who no one cares about to the emperor who now holds the power of the world, this is not an overnight thing, I don't want anyone to become a stumbling block for him, Xia Xiaoxiao, I don't know what happened between you and Beigong Pheasant, but that person, sooner or later, is the person who will face the emperor with a sword, what to do, You'd better think it through. β
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced out, beckoned to Lu Wuxian, he came over, Xia Xiaoxiao whispered in his ear, "Wouldn't it be good if you thought of a way for me to go to a place where there is no Beigong Yu?" β
Lu Wuxian took a step back and looked at her and smiled, "Then he will really kill me." β
Carrying the packed medicine box and walking outside.
Xia Xiaoxiao naturally didn't really have the idea that Lu Wuxian would help her, he was Beigong Yu's person, he would do whatever Beigong Yu asked him to do, and he wouldn't disobey his orders if he wasn't let do it.
How? Is it her turn to think about this kind of thing? Isn't everything she does now under Beigong Yu's control?
Lu Wuxian didn't like her, and she could see that sooner or later, Beigong Yu and Beigong Pheasant would face each other with the sword, but isn't this situation similar now? Beigong Pheasant Li has become a person from Nanming Kingdom, Beigong Yu is the emperor of Yue Hua, the interests between the two countries are either allies or enemies, but now there is only one way of hostility between Yue Hua and Nanming Kingdom, she is just a powerless little woman, what can she do except watch them fight?
It is said that the red face has been a disaster since ancient times, and Xia Xiaoxiao has not rarely seen two brothers in the royal family who will turn against each other because they fall in love with a woman at the same time, which will eventually lead to the dispute of gunpowder and war, but she Xia Xiaoxiao is not a red face, and they have nothing to do with her from the beginning of this war, not to mention that these two men may never have had a heart for her, even if they have a heart, the conflict between them has been there from the beginning.
Fortunately, the bandaged bandage did not affect the activity, picked up the pen from the bookcase and began to walk on the white paper, wherever she went, it was just to be able to save her life and live a chic life, so what should she do next?
She didn't know it herself.
Continue to play the little abacus of running away? It is said that the whole world is not the king's land, Xia Xiaoxiao always thinks that Beigong Yu can't cover the sky with one hand, now they are on the territory of Yueguo, they are at war, and they are not safe, Nanming Kingdom, Wu Kingdom is now on one side of Yue Kingdom, if Beigong Yu wins this battle, his next target will definitely move to Yan Yanxing's head, and it is also not safe, Nanming Kingdom, Nanming Kingdom now has Beigong Pheasant Li, she doesn't want to go to that place again, but to several countries that are temporarily relatively stable, that is, Chaoyang Kingdom and Jin Kingdom, These two countries are allies under Beigong Yu, and after experiencing Beigong Yu's spirit of patiently riding a coachman to catch her, Xia Xiaoxiao does not doubt that he may really cover the sky in these two countries.
So where else could she flee to?
At that time, Xia Mansion couldn't tolerate her, she ran out with a temperament, once she only stayed in Yue Hua's capital, but she also knew that the outside world was so big, Xia Xiaoxiao always felt that the world was big, and there would always be a place for her to go, but now she knew that the world was big, and there was really no place for her.
Just like she once thought, there are so many men in the world, without Beigong Yu, she can always find a hero in her mind, and only now can she see that there are so many men in the world, and there is really no hero who only belongs to her.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
Approaching the center of the Yue Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom is already in a precarious situation, Beigong Yu has captured the two main cities of the Yue Kingdom in a row, and the remaining fortress has been stalemate for ten days.
Yue Huaguo has spent 20 years in the hands of Beigong Chengyan, there have been two major wars in the past 20 years, one is that Beigong Chengyan led the troops to force the palace, that is the civil war of Yue Huaguo, and the other is the foreign war launched by Nanming State shortly after Beigong Chengyan ascended the throne, although the war was big, but Yue Hua's losses were not as serious as imagined, and finally ended with the defeat of Nanming in exchange for Yue Hua's 20 years of stable life.
In the middle, there are constant small wars, and the Japanese and mountain bandits often stir up the turmoil in Yue Hua's country, but like today, the war between countries, not to mention the war of annihilation, Beigong Yu is also the first time to encounter it, at the beginning, some small frictions between Yue Hua and Yue Guo and other wars were led by Beigong Ji himself, winning and losing, and never gave Yue Guo a real fatal blow, perhaps this is the reason why Yue Guo's ambitions are spreading more and more.
Beigong Yu only arrived in the camp for only three days, first cut off the grain and grass of the Yue country, and then lured the troops in, and took down nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in Helian Chi with one blow, if it were not for the sudden rebellion of the Wu State in the middle, there was no need to doubt that this victory was inevitable, but it was also because of the Wu State, Beigong Yu cut off the grain and grass of the Yue State This delaying strategy did not last long, as long as the Wu State has been providing it from the side, the longer this battle drags on, the longer it drags on, the more it drags on for Beigong Yu, the more unfavorable it is for him, he must take the army of the Yue State in the shortest possible time.
When Beigong Yu came back from the tent, Xia Xiaoxiao was lying on the bookcase and fell asleep, holding a wolf pen in his hand, Beigong Yu pulled out the drawing paper that she was pressing, and the painting was still that person, and it was clear that they all looked the same, but under Xia Xiaoxiao's pen, he could accurately know that the person Xia Xiaoxiao painted was Beigong Pheasant.
Somewhat annoyed, she crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the fire candle and burned it to ashes, took the pen she was holding in her hand and knocked it her head with the barrel of the pen, "Diao Nu, where is it your turn to sleep first before I come back?" β
It was really not light, Xia Xiaoxiao almost bounced.
"Why did you come back?"
Xia Xiaoxiao subconsciously woke up to the previous painting, but only saw the paper ashes scattered on the desktop.
"Go, get me some hot water."
Beigong Yu threw the pen on the bookcase, turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed to wait for her, rubbing his eyebrows, Yan Yanxing suddenly changed his camp on the surface, the blow to him on the surface was small, and it was big to shake the military heart, Qiao Yishen and him are still in an alliance relationship, he has sent someone to inform Qiao Yishen of his next plan, as long as Nanming still does not make a move in the next few wars, he is sure that he will be able to attack the capital of Yue in less than seven days, but in case Qiao Yishen also has a change there......
Xia Xiaoxiao had already brought in the hot water and put it on the stool, complaining, "Why do I do chores for you wherever I go?" β
He held out his hand, "Don't forget, you're my maid wherever you go." β
Xia Xiaoxiao untied the ties that bound his sleeves, and pulled the sleeves to his arms, "I'll serve you, at least you have to give me some money, so that I can still have some savings for retirement in the future." β
"I'll raise you." Beigong Yu stared at her and suddenly laughed, "What's more, which one of the things you eat now is not given by me?" β
"! It's all my own savings! β
Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but burst out with a dirty word, Beigong Yu's face immediately darkened, and her wet hand only pinched her face, "Who taught you to say these dirty words?" Who taught you to speak to me like that? β
"It's you who put all the bargains on yourself! You've taken all those years of my savings! The reverse has always been my loss! β
Xia Xiaoxiao's cheeks were pinched by him, and he resisted again and again, and was stained with water.
Beigong Yu let go of her and glared at her, he forgot that Xia Xiaoxiao was a little bully when she was on West Street in the capital before, what kind of swear words she couldn't scold? It's just the silver she's saved...... It's not a small penny!
"I always say that I didn't treat you well, and when I return to the palace, I will give you a golden palace, so that you can see who else in the palace can have this honor besides you."
Xia Xiaoxiao's face had two more red marks that he had pinched, and Beigong Yu laughed lowly.
"I don't want to be honored, at most the Golden Palace will take a look, and you can't move it, you might as well exchange that thing for silver and give it to me, at least enough for me to eat for several lifetimes, and by the way, thank you for my children and grandchildren!"
Xia Xiaoxiao also laughed stupidly, thinking about how much it would cost if a whole golden palace was converted into silver? It's really enough to stone her, if Beigong Yu throws so much silver to her, then she must be the first person in history to be stoned to death by money, right?
Just thinking about it, Beigong Yu's hand suddenly came over from one side, he was sitting, she was standing, his forehead was against her chin, and he exhaled lightly to her neck, "Xiao Xia'er, go back to the palace and treat you well." β
Before Xia Xiaoxiao could wipe off the water on her hands, she pushed his shoulder, but she didn't push it, and after pushing it again, it still didn't push, and the watermark on her hand got on his clothes, and it was a little wet, "Beigong Yu, what are you doing here?" You have your Xia Yingxi, I have my Jianghu knight, don't you think you are like this now, in fact, it is a little cruel? β
"Huh?"
Beigong Yu raised his head and happened to see Xia Xiaoxiao's somewhat red eyes.
"Although I am sisters in Xia Yingxi, they don't look alike, at least I think you shouldn't be like this when I just fell out of love."
Xia Xiaoxiao endured it, but she still couldn't hold back, tears came down from the corners of her eyes again, and Beigong Yu's face was in front of her, but in such a night, the candlelight shone on his angular face, and what appeared was the appearance of Beigong Pheasant.
"Beigong Yu, I don't need you to be good to me, I don't even want you to be good to me, I used to be unclear, now I think about it, it was a mistake from the beginning, if it wasn't my fault at that time, I wouldn't have ...... if it wasn't my fault at that time."
Beigong Yu's lips suddenly covered at this time, cold and cold, just swallowing Xia Xiaoxiao's crying words.
When Xia Xiaoxiao reacted, it was too late, Beigong Yu was like a hungry beast at this time, his hand pressed the back of her head hard, tearing and biting on her lips, Xia Xiaoxiao saw anger in his eyes again.
Even a kiss is domineering, but he will only do this way, he doesn't expect Xia Xiaoxiao to completely forget about Beigong Pheasant in such a short period of time, but he can't tolerate Xia Xiaoxiao treating him as Beigong Pheasant every time he sees him, he is not so generous.
Beigong Yu's breath was permeated in her lips and teeth, and it wasn't until she struggled so much that Beigong Yu slightly loosened her lips, "From now on, if you recognize me as Beigong Pheasant again, I always have my own way to let you remember who is who!" β
Beigong Yu bit her lip fiercely, Xia Xiaoxiao almost cried out in pain, "Beigong Yu, can't you say anything well!" I think it's been a long time since you've had a woman's true nature exposed! β
Xia Xiaoxiao wiped her lips vigorously, broke away from his hand around her and jumped back two steps, looking at him as if he was guarding against a fierce beast, worried that although he would pounce on her and eat her, the previous depression turned into a knot, who made the two brothers have to look so similar? It's as if she's willing to confuse them!
Beigong Yu got up and took two steps, grabbed Xia Xiaoxiao and picked her up and walked to the bed, "You also know that I haven't touched a woman because I have been looking for you for a long time?" β
One of his faces became even darker, as soon as Xia Xiaoxiao's words came out, how could it be like he Beigong Yu was a pervert who couldn't do without a woman?
Xia Xiaoxiao sighed in his heart, "Beigong Yu, you can't do this!" This is the barracks! β
"What's wrong with the barracks? I'm a human being, and I'm a man! Beigong Yu sneered.
