Chapter 180: The Old Affair of Women
The horse is the most boring and boring, coupled with the rush on the road, the wind is slow and powerful, and there is almost no chance to talk to Wen Moqing, often choking on the wind as soon as he speaks, and he has to swallow many words back into his stomach.
That copper brand is undoubtedly a mystery, but what makes Yan Li even more curious is the warmth and ink.
A foreign language that only a few people can read, a unique mysterious copper brand, how can these secrets be understood so thoroughly? Why does he know the age of the ninth year of junior high school? Copper branding, the ninth day of the first year, and the biological parents of the ninth year, what is the relationship between Wen Moqing and them?
The closer you get to him, the more questions you have, and the less clear you are.
In fact, Yan Liwu hated this feeling very much, although Wen Moqing didn't deliberately hide anything from her, and he didn't need to tell her everything about himself, but she just felt uncomfortable, as if she was separated from him by a veil and a chasm, which was the last thing she wanted to see after deciding to leave Wen Moshu.
"Tired?" Seeing that Yan Li's face was not good, Ye Ling Xi couldn't help but be a little worried.
Wen Moqing, who was riding the horse in front, glanced back at it, and slowed down slightly: "It's almost here, you can see the gate of Anzhou City after passing this post station - find an inn after entering the city, I will tell you what you want to know." β
Originally, he was still a little bored when he was worried, but when he heard Wen Moqing say this, he was a little more relaxed for no reason, and rushed to the front with a hard grip on the horse's belly, and turned around to give Wen Moqing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Wen Moqing sighed, her face was a little lazy, but there was a hint of a smile hidden in her eyes.
Ye Lingxi couldn't understand what these two people were communicating without saying a word, and only felt that Yan Liwu was indeed in a much better mood than when he first left the imperial capital; After taking a closer look at Wen Moqing, he suddenly found that this special son seemed to be a little different from the first time they met, and there was more tenderness in his overly calm inky eyes.
"It's more effective than taking medicine......" Ye Lingxi was stunned, and sighed with a faint sigh.
Yan didn't hear it when he walked away from worry, but Wen Moqing turned around when he heard it, his eyes swept shallowly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Heart disease, naturally need heart medicine." β
"Then are you her heart medicine? It can't be toxic, right? Ye Ling Xi twisted her wrist, her eyebrows raised, "You are Senior Brother Bi Xiao, she can't blame her for anything, I'm different, if you dare to bully Li Wei, I will be the first to come to you to trouble." β
"Whoever dares to bully her, I'm the one who is going to find trouble."
After all, there is a layer of relationship between Wen Moqing and Ye Ling Xi, and they are not familiar with each other, but it is rare to have the same goal at this moment, and when they heard the two behind them chirping and chatting for a long time, they turned back in surprise, and the two of them were like old friends, and they had nothing to talk about, and they were so intimate that they were jealous.
"Avoid him, this man has a black belly." Yan Liwu did not hesitate to pull out the horse and turn around, grabbed Ye Lingxi's sleeve and pulled it forward.
"Is there one? I didn't find it, but I thought he was funny, nice person. Ye Ling Xi moved his eyes, smiled and grinned close to Yan Li's ear, "If I want to choose a husband, I will choose him like this, he can go to the hall and make trouble, and he will not be bored at any time." β
Yan Liwu gasped and twisted Ye Ling Xi's nose fiercely: "No shame, I was still peeking at Boss Jun a few days ago, and now I am worried about the pot?" Your eyes are glued to Boss Jun and you don't want to move, I can't wait to eat him alive, don't think I don't know anything. β
"I ......" Ye Ling Xi choked, and didn't say a reason for a long time, and her cheeks with a healthy complexion gradually turned red.
Seeing that such a guess was true, Ye Ling Xi was really moved by Jun Wunian who caught her with one move. Yan Liwu didn't know whether to be happy or worried about the sworn sisters, and when she found out that Ye Ling Xi paid special attention to Jun Wunian in the old mansion outside the imperial capital, she was faintly uneasy, for fear that Ye Ling Xi would also be involved in a complex and treacherous power struggle.
However, Yan Liwu also understands that it is difficult to change if she likes someone, and a tenacious character like Ye Lingxi, who is not afraid of hardships and dangers, even if she is told Jun Wunian's complex identity, it is impossible to stop the heartbeat - the three sisters who married Jin Lan because of their similar temperament are also stubborn in their attitude towards love.
Such as Bi Xiao's insistence on Wen Mohong, and her inseparability to Wen Moshu but turned around categorically.
The brief episode did not affect the pace of the three of them, and in the afternoon, the three people who finally entered Anzhou City settled down in an inn to rest, and after several days of traveling, they were finally able to eat a hearty meal, at the cost of paying for their worries.
"I have earned a total of so many taels of silver in the Imperial Medical Pavilion, and you are embarrassed to let me pay for it, have you made your face inlaid with iron and thickened with cotton?"
found that the money bag he kept by him appeared wonderfully in Wen Moqing's hand, and wonderfully changed from tinkling to empty, Yan Li couldn't wait to pounce on Wen Moqing and grab Wen Moqing's face full of flowers, but Wen Moqing didn't dodge or dodge, only one hand restrained Yan Li's worries with his teeth and claws, and his face was full of honesty and integrity: "It's just borrowed, and I will pay you back in the future." β
The tens of thousands of taels lent by Jun Wunian have all been lost, and she still expects Wen Moqing to repay this little money? Unless there is a landslide and the ground is cracked, and the stream flows backwards.
Yan Li, who knew that the money would not come back, endured the heartache and glared at Wen Moqing fiercely, gritted his teeth, and grabbed Wen Moqing's sleeve: "You use the money, you also eat the meal, as the saying goes, the hands are short, the mouth is short, you should always be respectful to me in the future, I can't ask anything more perfunctory, otherwise you will pay back the money quickly." β
"If you want to ask, why are there so many conditions?" Wen Moqing left the dinner table with his worries, hesitated for a moment, and looked back at Ye Ling Xi, "You can come too, there are some things, you and General Ye should also be prepared." β
Ye Ling Xi was not interested in the secret hidden in Wen Moqing's body, he didn't know what was drunk with the snow moon building and the ninth day of the first month, and he didn't plan to participate in the Q&A between Yan Liwu and Wen Moqing, and suddenly heard him say that the matter might be related to himself and his brother, and couldn't help but be stunned, driven by curiosity and worry about Ye Haochuan, he followed Wen Moqing to the upstairs room.
"It's a long story about copper branding, I'll explain it as clearly as possible, and I'll ask if I don't understand anything after I finish speaking." Wen Moqing carefully groped for the copper soldering and placed it on the table, his fingertips caressing the intricate carvings, and his gaze fell into the depths.
Yan Liwu and Ye Ling Xi sat next to each other, Xu was infected by Wen Moqing's sudden and serious attitude, the two of them listened quietly without saying a word, and under the table, each stretched out a hand and held it nervously.
"The word on the brass is not the name of a person, but the name of a team, although it has been some years now, but its fame is so great that the night general who has been dealing with soldiers and wars all year round should have heard of it." Wen Moqing glanced at Ye Ling Xi, and his tone became more and more solemn, "This army has made great contributions to my Great Abyss, and it is also an immortal legend in the Western Regions, but it is a pity that its name has been deliberately erased and hidden, so that after just more than ten years, many people have forgotten, or do not know that there is such an army and some legendary people, only those who have experienced the beacon fire and smoke in the Western Regions still remember its name, the Women's Army." β
Ye Ling Xi frowned and thought back, and suddenly gasped: "Women's Army, isn't that the rebel army who was killed by the first emperor?!" β
"Rebels? Who did they betray? The harsh salutation made Wen Mo unhappy, and a sneer appeared on his slightly gloomy face, "The women's army only relies on two hundred and thirteen heroines to dominate the west and guard the frontier for my Dayuan. They don't need a soldier or a salary from the imperial court, although they are of a different race, they guard the land of the great abyss and protect the people of the great abyss in front of the iron walls in the west of the great abyss, which is something that the imperial court can't do at all. If they are rebels, who in the abyss would dare to claim loyalty? β
Seeing that Wen Moqing seemed to be really angry, Ye Lingxi became more and more uncertain about his position, and his suspicious tone was cautious: "But it is a fact that the first emperor sent troops to kill them, and it is also known that the women's army rebelled in the south. My brother said that an old general who once taught him how to manage the army participated in the counterinsurgency back then, and the women of those women were more fierce than the other, and even the old general was cut by them, and he still has sequelae! β
"You only know that they rebelled, but why did they rebel? What reason does a loyal soldier who has guarded the frontier for many years have to ruin the reputation accumulated by blood and sweat? When listening to the remarks of others, who has ever traced the truth of the year? β
In Ye Lingxi's impression, although Wen Moqing is not easy to approach, she will not be so aggressive, and a series of questions seem to refute her speechlessly before she is satisfied.
It's just to talk about what I've heard, as for such a-for-tat? With grievances and incomprehension, Ye Lingxi silently looked at Yan Liwu, as if she wanted to count this blame on her.
"You know the Women's Army very well?" Receiving the silent gaze from Ye Lingxi, Yan Li sighed worriedly, so he had to take over the errand of calming down and asking in detail, and went to ask Wen Moqing, who was obviously in a stinky temper.
"I don't know a little, I know a little bit about it." Wen Moqing groaned slightly, his expression was slightly gloomy, "That's it, it's better for me to talk to you alone about this matter, if you think you should tell General Ye about something, you two can find time to communicate privately." β
"Then I'll go outside and buy some things first, and find out about the situation by the way."
Ye Lingxi was not angry because of Wen Moqing's sudden cold treatment, but followed his words to find a reason for himself to leave, and before leaving the room, he did not forget to secretly squeeze his eyebrows at Yan Li, and his mouth moved lightly.
Yan Liwu could see it clearly, and couldn't cry or laugh at the four words squeezed out of Ye Lingxi's lips - what should she do for herself? Are you entangled with Wen Moqing?
That's death.
After closing the door, he let out a long breath, and looked at Wen Moqing with a sad voice, and a little dissatisfaction could be vaguely heard in his tone: "How many identities do you have?" It always feels like you or someone who knows you has some little-known insider information from time to time, and each one is enough to surprise people. β
"That's because you don't know me well enough." Wen Moqing's gaze moved from the copper brand to Yan Li's worried face, three points of joke, seven points of seriousness, "I remember when I was trapped in the underground palace, someone seemed to have said that if she could escape death, she wanted to know more about me." Now that you have this opportunity, do you want to stick to it? Explain in advance that the closer you get to me, the more dangers you may encounter and the more disappointments you may get. β
At that moment, she was a little confused, but after a short thought, she still chose to nod firmly.
There was no reason for this, she just paranoid that she believed that Wen Moqing would never let her downβeven if he really had something to do with the so-called rebels.
