Chapter 035: Brother and Sister of the Night Family
The woman looked behind Yan Liwu, took a deep breath, and said with a happy face: "Brother! ”
"If you can finally sleep for a while, can't you stop and stop?" Dissatisfied muttered to herself, the man who grabbed her wrist at the last moment.
"General, this woman didn't listen to persuasion, she had to break into the camp to find you, but she was injured when we stopped her, so my aunt and grandmother taught her a lesson." The woman hadn't said anything yet, but the soldiers were the first to complain, and they deliberately pretended to be pitiful for being bullied.
"What nonsense! It's clear that you hit people first, I can see it clearly! Unexpectedly, the woman did not complain, but stood on her side and told her what had just happened, and at the end she hugged her seriously, "I lost, thank you for your mercy." ”
Yan Liwu was a little crying and laughing, this experience was really inexplicable. First I was inexplicably forced to fight, then I was stopped inexplicably, and now I am inexplicably thanked by the person who jumped out inexplicably......
How could she not find a little initiative?
The wrist that was grabbed suddenly loosened, and the man standing behind Yan Liwu took two steps forward, and tapped a finger on the woman's forehead: "Ling Xi, you forced people to fight again, right?" After speaking, the man turned around and smiled apologetically at Yan Li: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my sister has this problem, and when she sees someone who is good at kung fu, she wants to compete, and she doesn't listen to how many times she says." ”
Yan Liwu waved his hand, with a little doubt in his eyes: "It's okay...... You're the Night General? ”
"Well, you're looking for me?" The man nodded.
It took a lot of effort, but I finally found the right owner. Yan Li let out a long sigh of worry, and his face was full of worry: "I am one of the prisoners exiled with the army, and now there is a child there who has no salt because of lack of water and food, and there is only one breath left, I am here to ask the general for some dry food and salt, and I did not mean to make trouble." ”
"Salt?" Ye Haochuan scratched his head in a daze, "Can you get sick without salt?" I think I have a lot of dry food, so why can't I have enough? ”
The soldiers around you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke, only the woman frowned, and glanced at the soldiers with disdain: "Then you still need to ask?" It must have been the guy in charge of grain and salt who seized it privately. Brother, I told you to find a trustworthy person to take charge of the baggage, what are you thinking about? ”
Salt mining is not easy and very expensive, and even with a large amount of military salaries, the conscription is still very limited. Yan Liwu could see that the two brothers and sisters of Ye Haochuan did not know about the shortage of food for the exiled prisoners, so it must be that the people involved secretly swallowed it for personal gain, and it was impossible to put an end to this kind of thing at any time.
Ye Haochuan groaned for a while, and nodded earnestly to Yan Liwu: "This is my sister, Ye Lingxi, trouble the girl to run one more time and take her to see the sick child." I will deal with other matters immediately, and ensure that there will never be another such thing as prisoners' food being detained, and I will ask the girl to apologize to everyone on my behalf. ”
It was a rare thing for the general to apologize to the exiled prisoners, but it also showed that Ye Haochuan was not a bad person, at least in his eyes, those exiles were no different from their lives.
Yan Li was worried about the child's condition, and he didn't have time to say anything more to Ye Haochuan, so he took Ye Lingxi and a large bag of dry food, salt, green vegetables, and herbs and went straight to the rear of the army, tossing for most of the night, the child's illness finally improved, and he slept quietly in his mother's arms after drinking some green vegetable porridge.
"Usually my brother and I walk in front, and I rarely come here, but I didn't expect you to be bullied like this. This group of brutes, who usually looks like a dog, actually did such unscrupulous things behind their backs, fortunately you came in time, otherwise my brother's reputation would have been ruined by them. While sitting at the edge of the camp to rest, Ye Ling Xi snorted and scolded in a low voice.
"It's the same everywhere, especially in times of war, who doesn't want to leave a way back for themselves?" Yan Li sighed long, "Fortunately, General Night is a good person, I thought it would be difficult to ask for food and salt, but I didn't expect General Night to be so generous and give it directly, otherwise that child would not know how much he would have to suffer." ”
Ye Ling Xi looked at the moon with his cheeks, and suddenly felt a little sad: "My brother and I have depended on each other since childhood, begging all the way for a living, and I know best what it feels like to be hungry." When I looked at that kid just now, I thought he was very happy, at least he had his parents and people like you who did their best to help them...... Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you what your name is! ”
"I ......" Yan Li hesitated for a moment, and smiled stiffly, "Call me Red Lotus, they used to call me that when I was in the Qinglou." ”
Ye Ling Xi turned his head and looked at Yan Liwu in surprise: "Have you been in the Qinglou?" No wonder, you are so good-looking, I am still thinking about why such a beautiful person would be in the army, because he was convicted of being a secret prostitute? After a pause, Ye Lingxi smiled heartily: "It's okay, it doesn't matter what your identity is here, you have good kung fu, you are beautiful and kind, I like you a lot." ”
The words were separated from the sorrow and returned with a light smile, and the heart was full of emotion.
Ye Haochuan and Ye Lingxi, the two brothers and sisters, are people with real temperament, simple likes and dislikes, and a simple and simple personality, compared with her who doesn't even dare to report her real name, it is really too bright.
Of course, even if she was given another chance, she would still choose to hide her identity, after all, Qinglian King Yu Yuanguo was a special existence, and probably no one except the first emperor wanted to see her live in peace. Yan Liwu didn't want to worry about herself because of her identity that had nothing to do with her, and before she was discovered, she would be the "Red Lotus" from the Qinglou.
"Hey, who taught you kung fu? It scared me just now, and suddenly it turned from defensive to offensive, and I didn't even have time to react. After saying a few words, Ye Lingxi turned the topic to the contest just now.
"It was taught to me by the proprietress of the Qinglou, for self-defense. Actually, just now I broke the cauldron and removed all defenses to hit you, if that blow was blocked by you, I would be the one who lost. Yan Liwu replied modestly, and suddenly remembered the question that puzzled her, "Why do those soldiers call you aunt?" How can there be such a generation in the army? ”
Listening to Yan Li's worried question, Ye Ling Xi burst out laughing: "Where are the generations, they were forced by me." I often catch them to compete in martial arts, and if they win, I wash their clothes, and if they lose, they have to call me my aunt and grandmother. There are only six people in the army besides my brother, don't care if I call my aunt and grandmother, now counting you, there are eight in total, and I have to work harder to practice. ”
There is a black line at the end of the speech.
It seems that Ye Lingxi is a hard-core woman who does not lose laughter, no wonder Ye Haochuan took her with her to the battlefield, in addition to their appearance, even the bravery of the two brothers and sisters is extremely similar, which is really enviable.
"Red Lotus, in the future, you can come to the front army to accompany me, you can usually learn from each other to relieve boredom, and you can ...... by the way" Halfway through the words, Ye Ling Xi seemed to be a little hesitant, and his face gradually turned solemn, "Come with me and protect my brother." ”
"Protect the Night General? What, he's in danger? Looking around at the surrounding barracks, he was quite puzzled.
Ye Ling Xi nodded silently, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it with his hand, not knowing where the stone fell. Looking at the direction where the stone disappeared, Ye Lingxi said with a serious face: "This military camp seems to be strict, but it is not, it is easy for people with ulterior motives to come in, just the last time I went out, my brother was assassinated twice in the military camp." The reason why I forced those soldiers to compete everywhere was to select someone with better kung fu to protect my brother closely, so that I could feel a little more at ease. ”
Who would want to harm a good general who has made great contributions to the country?
Yan Liwu looked around again, and I didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but I began to feel that the military camp before dawn was a little gloomy.
"You don't understand what the court said, anyway, you can help me protect my brother, and I will definitely not treat you badly when I go to the exile place." Ye Ling Xi pretended to blink mysteriously, but she couldn't help but hurriedly reveal the little "secret" that made her proud to Yan Liwu, "Every time there is a prisoner exiled with the army, my brother will try his best to find a good way out for those poor people, which has never been treated in other armies. ”
Yan Liwu smiled dumbly: "If you do this, you are not afraid of the emperor's punishment?" ”
"What is there to worry about? The emperor wants to rely on my brother to defend the territory for him, and those prisoners live and die in the court and are insignificant, as long as there is no trouble, which one is not turning a blind eye? The first emperor favored the demon girl to make a mess in the world, the people were not happy, and he still had the heart to take care of those poor people, and he was a fool like my brother. ”
Although his words were full of complaints about Ye Haochuan, Ye Ling Xi's face was full of pride, which showed that he was very supportive of Ye Haochuan's actions.
Yan Liwu laughed at Ye Ling Xi's words, not because she wasn't interested or anything, but because the judgment about the Qinglian King made her feel a little dazed - if the body she was using now really belonged to the Qinglian King, then should she bear these curses, resentment, and countless heinous crimes? If Ye Lingxi knew her name and identity, would she still talk to her like this?
Responsibility and responsibility, she never wants to think about these annoying complications.
As a reward for Ye Haochuan's brothers and sisters, Yan Liwu moved to Ye Ling Xi's tent after the little boy recovered from his illness, and patrolled through the army every day, and accompanied Ye Ling Xi in the evening. Half a month later, the army gradually approached the northern territory, and the smell of war quietly spread, and the tension spread little by little.
In the atmosphere of the approaching smoke, volumes of letters were sent back to the imperial capital one after another, and Fengluo City.
At night, it is still a beautiful woman's soft words, warm and fragrant, but the place of pleasure has been replaced by a more luxurious and warm place, the emperor's bedroom.
Princess Changyun of Qingyue Kingdom, who was promoted from an unknown palace concubine to a five-grade concubine at an astonishing speed, is already a frequent visitor to the palace, and the palace concubines and eunuchs don't understand why a woman with an ordinary appearance can be so favored by Wen Jingyuan, but the reality is in front of her, since Princess Changyun was crowned as Concubine Yun and has the qualifications to enter the palace to serve, Wen Jingyuan has never been fortunate to any other concubine.
"The emperor is tired?" After two clouds and rain, Concubine Yun pillowed in the crook of Wen Jingyuan's arm, gasping and asking softly.
"I'm really tired, and I'm so busy during the day." Wen Jingyuan turned over to face Concubine Yun, his fingers hooked the slightly rounded white chin, and there seemed to be some reluctance in his eyes, "It's the third watch, do you want to go back?" What can I do to keep you here for the night? ”
