Chapter 228: Buying a Homestead
(Cat flutter Chinese) "See Miss Orb," the guards saluted in unison
Baozhu bowed indiscriminately, retreated in fear, was stopped by a stone, fell to the ground, and the two porcelain vases in his hands almost fell
"Be careful not to break it," Yun Xiao held her up, "Treasure bead, you have to cherish the ice muscle scars, which are rare in the world, and it is difficult to buy them with money, and the pharmacists of the pharmaceutical are weird and choose people to sell them, and only Brother Rui in Dongchen has got it, do you know how much silver a bottle of medicine is used for?"
Yun Xiao whispered
"Ahh......h
Three new bamboo houses were completed These three bamboo houses are much larger and stronger than the old bamboo houses
The weather is too hot, the air is steaming like a fire, seven or eight guards have been busy all morning with the yard and building fences, and the sweat has already soaked through their clothes, everyone went to the waterhole to take a shower, and after lunch, they found a shaded place next to the prince's bamboo house to lie down and take a nap
Li Yang and Xiao Yi divided into two routes, each with a team of men and horses to find the trace of the prince Li Yang led most of the people of the Zhao Wangfu to search for salvage in the river downstream, and learned the news that the prince was alive and well, and found Qingzhuling under the scorching afternoon sun
"How is my father's health and how is the state of the imperial court?" asked Xuanyuan Rui while lying on the bed
"The emperor's condition is stable," Li Yang reported to Xuanyuan Rui about the recent situation of the imperial court, and then said, "Lord Wang, the rebels of the Duan clan united with the 500,000 army of the northern kingdom to attack our capital with a powerful offensive, General Yun was wounded by an arrow, and the battle situation in the north is in crisis."
"General Yun is seriously injured"
"Unconsciousnessed, dying"
Xuanyuan Rui sat up nervously The enemy army invaded the territory in a big way, and the main general was seriously injured and fell into a coma What a crisis this is
"Ahem......" Yun Xiao was shocked to hear that she was choked on the tea, covered her mouth and coughed and asked, "My brother is injured"
"Xiao'er, calm down," Xuanyuan Rui took the teacup in Yun Xiao's hand and handed it to Xiao Yi, looking at Li Yang solemnly, "Go on"
The military situation is urgent Yun Xiao had to suppress her worries about her brother and listened to Fu Yan's report in shock
"The traitor of the Duan clan was chased by General Yun and fled to the border The thief's heart is not dead Wandering out of the country to lobby for help Finally said that the ambition of Ran Bei is still nearly 60,000 left The northern army has sent more than 400,000 troops Nearly 500,000 troops The forward has attacked several cities in a row Unstoppable At present, it has reached the Zhucheng Pass The two armies have lost the command of the general in front of the formation If this line of defense is broken through, the Ran army will definitely smash the heart of my Dongchen "
"How can the regent say yes" Xuanyuan Rui frowned and stretched out his hand to point at Fu Yan, as if pointing at the regent
"The regent wants to conquer the north in person, but even if he has a martial arts, he can't help the enemy's 400,000 army Suffering from no soldiers in his hands is mobilizing the defenders of various states and counties I have been anxious for a few days General Shi is guarding the capital on your orders and does not dare to leave without permission and is waiting for your orders."
Xuanyuan Rui didn't ask any more questions, and immediately decided, "Spread the king's order to return to Beijing immediately"
"Obey," Li Yang responded
At the time of the national crisis, when the Dongchen Dynasty was in danger of life and death, Xuanyuan Rui was anxious and returned to his heart like an arrow, and immediately dressed up and said goodbye to Huizhu
"Master Huizhu, I just learned the news brought by my subordinates, the traitors have united with foreign warriors to invade my Dongchen territory, the war in the north is critical, I will immediately go north to resist the enemy and defend my home and country."
"Master Xuan, your body has not healed yet, how can you go to the battlefield to fight" Huizhu was surprised, this son was seriously injured and couldn't even walk steadily, so he had to travel a long way to defend against foreign invaders
"The family and the country are in danger, I still care about the body, as long as there is still a breath, I will fight with all my might, I would rather die than be a slave to the country," Xuanyuan Rui's sonorous words were low and powerful
"Xuan Gongzi worries about the country and the people, regardless of his personal safety, saves the country and saves the people from fire and water, which makes the poor and the nuns admire" Huizhu no longer persuaded anything, and looked at him with reverence In the past few days, Huizhu has already tasted some clues from Xuan Gongzi's words and deeds This Xuan Gongzi is by no means an ordinary rich son
"Brother Rui"
Yun Xiao called Xuanyuan Rui to his side, stretched out his hand to dress him up, and whispered, "Your body is not as good as before, you must not lose your mind on the battlefield, and charge into battle The power of a general lies in his courage and good fighting, and the greatness of a commander lies in his victorious resourcefulness I hope you are a great commander and use your wisdom and mind to turn the tide."
"Well said, Xiao'er's words can be called an ancient saying, which makes me suddenly open my mouth, borrow Xiao'er's auspicious words, I will definitely win a big victory, completely drive out the invaders, and keep the territory of Langya."
"I believe you will win," Yun Xiao nodded tearfully
Yun Xiao was extremely worried in her heart Remind him not to ignore the weakness of his body Recklessly fight and easily lose his life Even if he is worried about his body and reluctant to leave him Yun Xiao will not hold him back because of his own personal feelings
Xuanyuan Rui stepped forward to the battlefield to defend his family and the country, this time he was risking his own martyrdom Even if it was so dangerous, Xuanyuan Rui could not only take care of his own injuries and illness, but watched the country perish Yun Xiao knew that even if he wanted to, he couldn't stop it
"I will take your words to heart" Xuanyuan Rui looked at Yun Xiao deeply, his eyes flashed with affection, and the two stared at each other, all love and reluctance were in silence
"Master Huizhu, Xiao'er will stay in Qingzhuling, I will leave a few people to protect her, and then take her down the mountain on the day of triumph, please take care of the master."
Xuanyuan Rui hugged his fist to Huizhu and entrusted his beloved With his departure, he was most worried about Yunxiao's safety and must not let her have such a tragic incident as jumping off a cliff again
"Master Xuan, don't worry, Qingzhuling is located in the mountains, and few people come here Miss Yunxiao is very safe to stay in Qingzhuling Gongzi Xuan doesn't have to worry about the future "Huizhu looked at Xuanyuan Rui's eyes with great admiration
"Please" Xuanyuan Rui gave a deep bow and turned around to arrange
"Li Lin"
"Subordinates are in," Li Lin stepped forward and replied
"Li Lin, your martial arts are the highest, I ordered you to bring eight guards with excellent martial arts to stay and protect Miss Yun."
"Subordinates obey orders" Li Lin bowed down to receive the order
"Situ Yu, Xiao'er's daily life is all up to you, you are responsible for the purchase, be careful, don't be lazy and perfunctory, the more extravagant, the better."
"The subordinates understand," Situ Yu bowed down to receive the order
Xuanyuan Rui told Baozhu again, "Baozhu and Xiao'er will come back for your brother's victory and take you back to the house together."
"You don't have to worry about the treasure bead, I'll settle her well" Yun Xiao took care of it, and the life-saving benefactor dared to slack off
"Master Huizhu, please ask me again, there will be a period later," Xuanyuan Rui said goodbye to Huizhu and walked out of the courtyard
"Brother Rui, take care" Yun Xiao was discharged from the hospital and sent her off, tears faintly welling up in her eyes
Xuanyuan Rui stopped, pulled Yun Xiao's hand and held it in his palm, and whispered: "Xiao'er, the most worrying thing about this king is that you must not leave Qingzhuling, never go home to visit your parents, and don't go back to the capital to show your face, in short, you must not reveal your identity, live in seclusion in Qingzhuling, and wait for me to come back."
Yun Xiao stood on the hillside and didn't look back until she saw the figure of the group in the dense forest below the mountain
Li Lin is strong in martial arts and is extremely serious about the responsibility of guarding, leading several guards to closely guard Qingzhuling
Yun Xiao thought about it for three days and finally decided the direction she was going to go Secretly found Situ Yu and said that she wanted to live in seclusion Situ Yu was overjoyed and immediately escorted Yun Xiao away
On this day, it was Situ Yu's turn to be on duty for the night
Yun Xiao took Xiu Mu and quietly left Qingzhuling under the escort of Situ Yu
The three of them walked out of Qingzhuling overnight At a junction leading to the town, Yun Xiao stopped and wanted to change the image of Baozhu's nun First use a veil to cover Baozhu's eye-catching bald head and ugly face, and then tie a belt around her waist to reveal the woman's plump body Completely break away from the nun image and then wipe dust on her face
Situ Yu bought a carriage and three horses in a small town, rode one by himself, and the remaining two pulled the cart, Yunxiao and Baozhu bought some dry food, food, water bags, and clothing and supplies, and the three of them changed into ordinary clothes in the car, and the people and horses had their stomachs full, and then ran to the southeast without stopping
A few days later, the carriage drove into the city of Wuxi and stopped in front of an inn
Yun Xiao grabbed the jewel that was about to get out of the car and pressed her to the seat, "Jewel, your head is tightly veiled, it's too conspicuous, don't come out of the car, Situ and I will go in first, open the room, you will not attract too many people's attention if you enter the room directly."
"Okay, I'll take care of the carriage, don't let people drive the carriage away," Baozhu rolled her eyelids, and she was forced by Yun Xiao to cover her head and face all the way, and she was going to suffocate to death on a hot day
"Don't forget to take the medicine, heal your face quickly, I'll get you a wig and put it on, and you can be a normal person, and you have to be a ghost for a few days," Yun Xiao hooked the corner of her mouth, patted her on the shoulder, and then got up and got out of the car
"Guest officer, please come in" Xiao Er welcomed Situ Yu and Yun Xiao
"Open two first-class rooms" Situ Yu set up two rooms, sent Yun Xiao into the room, and went out to pick up the treasure bead
Yun Xiao took a shower and lay on the bed thinking
If there is a suitable house near Wuxi City, then settle down on the shore of this Taihu Lake, if the house here is not easy to find, the guest house is too eye-catching, you must leave as soon as possible, set off as soon as possible and continue to go south, go to Qiantang (Hangzhou) to find a house to live in seclusion, in short, the farther away from the capital, the safer
Lying down and resting for a while, Yunxiao went downstairs to talk to the shopkeeper to learn about the listing
"I'm tired of asking the shopkeeper"
"What is the lady asking?"
"Shopkeeper, may I ask if there is a house to sell in the city" Yun Xiao saw that there was no one next to him and asked the shopkeeper
"The girl wants to buy a house"
"Yes, don't have a small courtyard, at least one or two suites, the room is a little more spacious, not necessarily in the suburbs of Wuxi, on the shore of Taihu Lake, the environment is the best tranquility."
"This ......" The shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at Yun Xiao's ordinary clothes, lowered his head and continued to write something into the account book, saying very indifferently, "Jianye has a good house to sell."
"Oh Jianye how far away from this" cat fluttered in Chinese
