Chapter 73: Mountainside Explanation

After Liu Yi left, Xu Mengmeng returned to his tent, and after discussing with Jinchen, he walked out again and sat down on a grass at the back of the hillside upstream of the stream.

"Miss Zhao" heard footsteps behind her, Xu Mengmeng turned her head to look back, and was a little surprised to see that it was Zhao Qianrou.

Zhao Qianrou walked to Xu Mengmeng's side and sat down, and Yuqin silently walked away when she saw this.

"The general is here late at night, but what is there to worry about?" Zhao Qianrou's hand pinched the skirt tightly, forcibly suppressing the tension in her heart, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Worried?" Xu Mengmeng muttered in a low voice, shook her head with a chuckle, and then turned her gaze to her: "Miss Zhao shouldn't have come here by accident, right?" I don't know what it means to come to Ning late at night? ”

Hearing Ning Jun's words, Zhao Qianrou's hand holding the skirt tightened a little, and a wisp of crimson also climbed on her originally white cheeks, like a tempting peach, but unfortunately no one could see it in the dark night.

"I heard that Commander Liu asked you to compete tomorrow?" Zhao Qianrou asked after taking a deep breath, her voice was still as soft and gentle as ever, and if she listened carefully, she could still hear the worry in her words.

"Well, we are both military generals, and it is common for military generals to learn from each other!" Xu Mengmeng pretended to smile easily.

"General Nanin, be careful!" Zhao Qianrou held back for a long time before she said such a sentence.

Xu Mengmeng nodded, and the entire hillside fell into silence again.

"Thank you for the wood carving I received last time!" Zhao Qianrou bit her lip and took the lead in breaking the silence between the two.

"A little thing, not enough to worry about, speaking of which I am a little curious, I don't remember how deep I had a friendship with Miss Zhao before, if the last Chinese New Year's Eve was a chance encounter, then now I came here and followed Miss all the way, I don't know why?" Xu Mengmeng's sharp eyes exposed outside the mask looked at her sharply.

"If you just appreciate the general, do you believe me?" Zhao Qianrou's originally lowered head was raised suddenly, and Xu Mengmeng's eyes were full of indifference and sincerity.

With such a pure look, Xu Mengmeng subconsciously tilted his head to the other side, and did not speak for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I scratched the general! In the future, Qianrou will never scratch again, farewell! A knife-like pain spread out from her heart, Zhao Qianrou only felt that her eye sockets were hot, and her throat was also blocked, she struggled to get up and turned her back to the person next to her and wanted to leave.

"I believe you, in fact, I can feel that you have no ill will towards me, and even have some concern, although I don't understand the reason, but thank you! Miss Zhao is a smart person, and now the battle for the storage position is becoming more and more fierce, Ning has fallen into a quagmire, and Miss shouldn't have anything to do with me! Xu Mengmeng stared blankly into the dark distance and whispered softly.

"I understand that I won't bother the general again after I go back this time! It's just that now Qianrou still has something to ask for, can you tell me about Rongcheng? Hearing Xu Mengmeng's words, Zhao Qianrou's footsteps paused, and after thinking about it, he turned to look at the person sitting on the grass and said.

Ning Jun, do you know? This may be our last chance to talk! So please don't rush me away so quickly, okay?

"Sit down!" Xu Mengmeng sighed, stretched out his hand and patted the place where Zhao Qianrou had sat just now, with a few wisps of rich remembrance in his eyes, looked into the distance, and said softly:

"A few months ago, I passed through Cloud City, and it happened that there was recruiting troops, and because my family had always been willing to protect the Eastern Jin Dynasty, I went to register......

In fact, fighting alone, I am not Ye Ting's opponent, the reason why I agreed to his challenge and forced him to make that oath was just to delay time, and the reason why I was able to defeat him in the end, although it was because of the convenience of the weapon, in fact, it was not because of the mercy of his men! ”

Xu Mengmeng sighed and narrated without any external matter, Zhao Qianrou stared at her side face and listened quietly, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the light of the stars and moon fell straight down, hitting the two of them, and even the surrounding air added a wisp of warmth.

"How did the general know that reinforcements had arrived?" When Xu Mengmeng finished speaking, Zhao Qianrou asked the doubts in her heart.

"Actually, it wasn't the reinforcements that arrived from other places, when I went to Yuncheng to raise food, I ordered someone to secretly go to Nan'an County, which is adjacent to Yuncheng, to send a letter of help to King Nan'an, and it was actually King Nan'an's private soldiers who rushed over at that time.

Although the private soldiers of the king of Fan were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission, the king of Nan'an was very patriotic and would come to the rescue, but his private soldiers were not allowed to leave Nan'an County, for fear of being found out and causing trouble, so in the letter sent in advance, I discussed that their soldiers would not enter Rongcheng, and would camp outside the city, and then secretly retreat, and when they were about to arrive, they would light a beacon to show me.

And when Ye Ting challenged me, I happened to see their beacon smoke standing on the tower, so I accepted his challenge. ”

"Because the reinforcements are the military horses of the king of Nan'an, if the two armies are fighting, this secret will definitely be difficult to keep, so in fact, you know that you are not defeated by Ye Ting, and you deliberately fight with him, and try to win him, just to give him an excuse to retreat!" Zhao Qianrou continued.

"Well, first send the excuse to them, and then inform him that our reinforcements have arrived, and Ye Ting has no intention of attacking the city, so naturally he will not insist on attacking the city again, and then the Nan'an private soldiers will leave food and retreat openly as its local reinforcements, and then everything has been arranged when the imperial court sends Zhu Ping over!"

Hearing the person next to him tell all this in a cold and calm voice, Zhao Qianrou only felt a thrilling feeling. Then I thought that this truth may be one of the few people who know, does that mean that I also have a lot of weight in his heart?

"Okay, it's late at night, I'll send you back!" After the story was told, Xu Mengmeng had to go to the camp to patrol again, so he got up and said.

On the way back, neither of them said a word, it was late at night when they returned to the camp, except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone else had already slept, and when they parted, Zhao Qianrou stuffed something into her hand, and then turned around and entered her tent.

After patrolling around, Xu Mengmeng returned to her tent, spread out the hand she was holding tightly, and in the moonlight, a delicate purse lay quietly in the palm of her hand, and when she opened the purse, there was a box of healing ointment, looking at these, her eyes were a little complicated.

She is not a little girl who is ignorant of the world, and she knows a little about emotional matters, at this time, no matter how dull she is, she guessed Zhao Qianrou's thoughts, she doesn't understand that she is not A Zhao, how can she provoke a cousin by mistake?

What she couldn't figure out was why Zhao Qianrou had her heart for herself? However, fortunately, she has already been engaged to Sima Zhao, and she also said that she will not bother herself in the future, so she still ends everything here as soon as possible! The Fifth Prince and Wang Gang are the only two people in the Baifu unjust case, and it seems that they will find a breakthrough from them as soon as possible!

Tossing and turning all night, Xu Mengmeng basically didn't sleep very well, and got up early and went around again. Maybe he was really tired, and on the second day of the hunt, Sima Wei only let his personal Fu Gonggong pass on the words of free hunting of the ministers, and he stayed in his tent and never came out.
