Chapter 720: Twin Town Again
I heard that today is the day of the emperor's personal expedition, and the shopkeeper thought that it must be the emperor who went out of the city, so he quickly knelt down and saluted.
Waiting for the soldier to pass by the door of the store, the shopkeeper raised his eyes again, and there was still the guard in front of him just now.
A group of people and horses marched forward in a mighty way, heading towards Tianhe City, no one deliberately cared, there was one more person on the way, he was mixed in the crowd, and behind him was the carriage that escorted grain and grass.
Only one of the soldiers beside her looked at her twice, and saw that she was handsome, extremely thin, and wearing the clothes of the palace guards, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you follow us to Tianhe City, do you also want to go to the march to fight?" ”
Seeing his appearance, it is estimated that he has not yet arrived on the battlefield, and a gust of wind will blow him away, so how can he talk about marching and fighting?
Xia Yinhuan smiled and hurriedly lowered her head, for fear that others would see that she was a daughter: "I'm not going to Tianhe City, but to Twin Town to do some things, which was ordered by His Majesty." ”
When he lied, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, the only thing he knew was that he passed through Twin Town from the capital to Tianhe City, and he didn't know the other place names at all.
"Oh, I see." The soldier also smiled shyly, scratched the back of his head as he spoke, and said with emotion: "If you want to get to Twin Town, it will be at least tomorrow morning." ”
"You know the Twins?" Xia Yinhuan couldn't help but be curious, remembering that the last time they went to Twin Town, they hadn't heard of Twin Town before, but they didn't expect this little soldier to actually hear of Twin Town.
"Of course I do! Because I'm from the Twin Towns. The soldier smiled faintly and looked into the distance, as if he was looking in the direction of his hometown.
Most of the people in this army came from all over the world, gathered from all over the world, Xia Yinhuan understood that it was not easy to be a soldier, and it was a time of war every year.
The march was a very boring thing, and she had nothing to do so she chatted with the shy soldier, who looked like he was in his early twenties, and already had some scars on his face, not ugly, but a symbol of service to the country.
"How long have you been in the army?" Xia Yinhuan asked, always feeling that she should have a relationship with someone so that others would not suspect her identity.
"I joined the army at the age of twelve, and I should have been seven or eight years now!" The soldier smiled at her embarrassedly, he himself couldn't remember how many years he had been in the army, practicing day after day, and he had been fighting for years recently, and he didn't even have time to return to his hometown.
Xia Yinhuan couldn't help frowning when he heard his words, when he was twelve years old, it was the time of innocence, but he was still an ignorant child and had to live a difficult life in the army.
"Don't you have any other friends?" Looking at his appearance, he is always weak and weak, not at all like a person who marches and fights, but like a little brother next door, who should not be good at talking to people.
The soldier really shook his head, sighed and looked at the blue sky, and his voice was sentimental: "No, I am the only one who joined the army in the same year, and most of them have died on the battlefield, and only the clothes and mounds brought back to their hometowns." ”
Xia Yinhuan couldn't understand his feelings, after all, she hadn't experienced such a thing at all, and she couldn't understand the feeling of living in fear day and night.
I couldn't help but be silent, in troubled times, how many people can be comfortable, and how many of the 20,000 horses accompanying him have the same fate as this soldier, I'm afraid there are countless of them!
It was a day to go, and at night the 20,000 troops were ordered to rest, Xia Yinhuan's legs were numb, and he sat on the grass beside the road rubbing his sore legs and feet.
She only now understands that every time Cang Linchen takes her out on an expedition, she will always stop and let her rest, it turns out that Cang Linchen is accommodating her, and without her existence, Cang Linchen actually doesn't rest day and night.
"If you're thirsty, drink some water." The soldier looked at her sweaty head, smiled kindly and handed the water bladder in front of her: "I'm afraid the guards in the palace have never been treated like this, look at you like a woman, you must have never suffered in the palace." ”
"You're a woman!" When Xia Yinhuan heard this, she pretended to be angry and glared at him, took the water bladder, raised her head and poured it violently, but she drank too violently, which choked.
"Look at you, drink so fast as if who's going to grab it from you?" The soldier laughed when he saw her like this, and it was the first time a soldier had seen a guard like him.
Xia Yinhuan wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, raising her eyes to look ahead, and she couldn't see the figure of Cang Linchen at all.
Don't know what he's doing now? Just thinking that the soldiers in front of her stood up again and began to walk forward, she was not far behind, and immediately stood up and followed the team. She knew very well that if she didn't follow closely, someone would notice her, and then her identity would be revealed.
There was no rest all night, and the soldiers were a little tired from the march, and I don't know who started singing in the army, so everyone sang along.
The sound was loud, and for a time it overpowered the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of armor rubbing became the only tune that came into the ears.
Xia Yinhuan had never heard the songs they sang at all, and the first time she heard it, although the tone was a little lame, she thought it was not bad to drink it.
He couldn't sing, so he clapped his hands along the road, playing the rhythm, and the sleepiness was dispelled a lot.
Another night passed, and it was a little cold to walk around at night, but Xia Yinhuan endured it, and as the soldiers said, the sky was gray and bright the next morning, and they arrived at Twin Town.
Compared with the last time, the streets of Twin Town were lonely and empty, as empty as an abandoned town, how could there be as lively as when the twin flowers were in full bloom, there were so many people standing on the street, watching the officers and soldiers overwhelm and hid in the house.
Everyone knows that there has been a war, and Tianhe is not far from the city of Shuangsheng Town, and some people with heads and faces in the twin towns have already moved away from the twin towns and fled to farther places for refuge, for fear of being affected by the war in Tianhe City.
Looking at this bleak scene, Xia Yinhuan's brows furrowed a little tighter, how good would it be if the twin towns were like twin flowers blooming every month.
It's a pity that the twin flowers are only in full bloom for half a month, but unfortunately even if the twin flowers bloom at this time, I'm afraid no one will come to enjoy the beautiful scenery here.
War is terrible, it is disgusting, no one likes war, they don't know when they will be able to calm the world, and they don't know when they will be able to return the people to a country where they can live and work in peace and contentment.
She sighed, the army had reached a hill, and at this time someone shouted to stop and rest, and to straighten out.
For a day and a night, everyone never closed their eyes, Xia Yinhuan sat down on the spot, her mind was muddy, and she felt that she could fall asleep even if she was sitting.
"I'm starting to send dry food." Someone said this, and she slowly opened her eyes, only to feel hungry, and her stomach had already growled.
For a day and a night, there was only dry food to feed her stomach, and if Xia Yinhuan was allowed to live this kind of life for a long time, she felt that she would collapse.
Soon after the words were spoken, you were asked to come to them, a general who was distributing dry rations.
The so-called dry food is just two cold steamed buns, when Xia Yinhuan took the steamed buns handed over by the general, she came to wear the clothes of the guards and looked at it twice.
Xia Yinhuan hurriedly lowered her head, and the general didn't say anything, walked past her and continued to distribute dry food.
Xia Yinhuan was faintly weak-hearted, but fortunately, the general didn't ask her some questions, otherwise she would probably be a gangster.
At this time, Cang Rinchen was at the forefront, sitting on a horse and looking at the direction of Tianhe City, the sky had gradually brightened, the sun was shining on the earth, and the fog was gradually dispersed.
However, the sky above Tianhe City was like a lead cloud pressing on the top, and it was extremely dim, and his sword eyebrows were frowning, thinking that there was a war in the direction of Tianhe City, and it was about to touch at this moment.
This has been the case for a long time, and the sky is always chaotic where there is a war, as if there are endless grievances that cannot be dissipated, and the remnants of resentment remain on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, the slave arranged for someone to go down and make some food for Your Majesty, right?" Fallen Leaf asked on the side, a little worried that Cang Linchen would not be able to stand it.
After all, he is the king of a country, and he cannot be compared to these soldiers.
"No need, just give me dry food." Cang Linchen didn't think there was anything wrong with dry food, it was very urgent at this time, so he couldn't stay longer, just eat something to satisfy his stomach.
"This ......" Falling Leaf hesitated a little, but seeing that Cang Rinchen's face was full of thickness, he had to turn around and order: "Did you hear Your Majesty's words?" ”
The general behind them nodded, and one of the generals hurriedly took out two steamed buns from his sackcloth pocket and handed them to Falling Leaves, who then handed over the steamed buns to Cang Rinchen.
Cang Rinchen didn't even look at your steamed buns, he took a bite in his hand, but the fallen leaves knew the taste of the steamed buns, and hurriedly sent the water bladder: "Your Majesty, slow down, drink some water." ”
Cang Linchen took the water bladder and took a sip without saying a word, and then he heard someone whispering behind his back: "How can there be guards in this army?" Is Yu Linwei also going to fight? ”
I didn't pay attention to what they said, and only heard one of them reply: "Impossible, how can there be Yu Linwei in the army, you shouldn't be dreaming, right?" ”
"Really, I just saw a Yu Linwei, with a delicate face, a thin body, and wearing Yu Linwei's clothes, definitely not dazzling me." The person who spoke was the general who had just distributed dry food to Xia Yinhuan, and he swore and swore to the sky.
When Cang Linchen heard this, he turned around in the twilight, and the three souls and seven spirits seemed to have been lost, but he came back to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly scolded: "What kind of person is it?" ”
It is impossible to have Yu Linwei in the army, and when he left the palace, he didn't bring a guard at all, and he was accompanied by only Fallen Leaves.
The only possibility, he had a vague guess, but he didn't dare to believe it or make a decision.
The general didn't expect that Cang Rinchen would suddenly ask a question, he was startled, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Avoidance, the words of the subordinates are true, and I really saw a Yu Linwei when I distributed dry food." ”
"Bring it here!" Cang Rinchen's heart was beating fast, and the general's description gave him a bad premonition.
Xia Yinhuan was sitting on the ground playing with the two steamed buns in her hand, she took a bite, but the dry food was as hard as a stone, and there were several tooth marks printed on the white dough, but she couldn't bite the steamed buns open.
"What the hell is it? Isn't it going to be a stone to hit us? Xia Yinhuan looked at the steamed bun in her hand with a sad face, and she couldn't gnaw on it, how could she eat it?
"Be content, it's good to have something to eat." The soldier next to her said that he took a steamed bun in her hand, broke it in half with a force, and then returned the broken steamed bun to her: "This will be better." ”
The corners of Xia Yinhuan's mouth twitched, looking at the two hard steamed buns, she felt that all her appetite was gone.
But if you don't eat it, you can't do it, so you have to bite a piece gently, chewing it in your mouth like chewing wax, and knocking your teeth like fine sand.
