"Where did you go?"

I sat in the dark and asked.

Takeled by my voice, Wooton Ray hurriedly grabbed the thing and withdrew his hand.

"Princess?!" His voice was full of horror.

I blew on the fire and raised my hand to light the lamp.

The lights lit up the tent, and a warm yellow glow shone on Wooton Ray's hands. The light of the fire gradually changes as the wick burns.

He held a stack of letters in his hand.

It was these letters that made Wooton Ray sneak out of the barracks and hide them with a humble heart.

"What's that?" I asked.

Wooton stood there as if he had done something wrong, and said, "Yes." ”

"What letter?"

"Family letter ......" Woo Dunley hesitated for a moment, and presented the thick stack of letters in his hands.

Letter?

Not an epistle to the Northern Regions?

I took it and flipped it over.

None of the letters had been opened, and the wax on the seals was intact and there were no signs of tearing. It's just that the letters seem to have passed through the hands of several people, and after a long journey, they have come here, and many of the corners of the letter are drenched in the rain and are crumpled.

There were more than a dozen copies of the letters, thick in one stack, and the names of different people were written on the envelopes, but Wootonley's name was not the only one in them.

I asked, "What about yours?" ”

Wooton Ray gloomed: "I ...... My parents died when I was a child, and I have not yet married a wife and have no family letters. ”

I took out a letter, opened it, and looked at it.

It was written to the wife of a young soldier.

The soldier chose to join the army and embarked on a journey, only to find out that his wife was pregnant before leaving. In such a farewell, the child was already babbling, but he had never seen it. The handwriting in the letter is beautiful, and the small characters are written all over the letter, from the child's teething to walking, and then to speaking, all the interesting things are in the letter.

There are no flaws, it looks like it's just an ordinary family letter.

I opened a few more copies at random, and they were all of this kind of content.

There are sisters who come to report the news, there are mothers who accept an outer room so that he don't have to worry, and there are those who run businesses to make money...... In short, it's good news.

I was puzzled: "It's just a family letter, so why sneak around?" ”

Wooton Ray hesitated for a moment and said, "If the soldier is too homesick, he will not be interested in the battlefield." Letters were given as a reward for their meritorious deeds, and only when they were rewarded could they write home. These letters were transported by traffickers who traveled through mountains and rivers to collect no money, but only to ask for the safety of the soldiers. If the princess wants to punish me, punish me alone, and don't blame these soldiers! ”

Blame?

I can't sigh too late, where will I blame him?

I thought he was secretly exchanging letters with the Northern Regions, and there was some collusion in secret, but the truth of the matter was so embarrassing.

I carefully put back the letter I had just opened, and planned to seal it with a candle.

Wooton Ray stopped me: "No need to seal it." I have to go through a letter and make sure there are no problems in it before I can give it to them. ”

"You've got a heart." I shook my head and said, "It's not a good rule, if they don't let go of their thoughts, how can they devote themselves to the battlefield?" Won't anyone persuade Yun Han? ”

Wooton Ray: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the barracks, and I am just a small commander, and I have no say in this kind of matter. Since it is a rule set by the great general, we can only obey it. And it is true that many soldiers have worked hard to write letters to their families. ”

I suddenly wondered, "Who gave you these letters?" The route of the march is classified, how does the messenger know where you are? ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
