Chapter 286: The Second Prince is Wise
"Brother Liu's words are too biased, who said that women enjoy leisure, men fight to the border, women weave in their homes, go to farm during the day, spin cotton at night, work hard day and night, and soldiers can have this ...... of food and clothing."
In the dead of night, the bright moonlight sprinkled the earth, and the grassland was silent.
The homesick Xiuxiu was alone holding her cheeks, humming a little song, and looking up at the night sky.
"I wonder how Xianggong is doing? Are there any injuries? Although his own martial arts are world-famous, but after all, the sword has no eyes! Ay! ”
Thinking that Zeng Qingfeng was still fighting a rebellion at the border pass, Pei Xiuxiu was worried.
"I don't know where the master and the others are now? How's the prescription collected? It's really hard for Master to cure my illness. ”
"Will my cold poison be cured? What if I die? ”
Pei Xiuxiu was full of thoughts, and sighed: "What am I thinking about again?" Ay! ”
While Xiuxiu was talking to herself, Ulintanaya came over at some point.
"Sister, what are you doing here alone so late?" Naya asked softly around the veil.
Pei Xiuxiu got up and saluted: "Sister, why are you here?" ”
Naya smiled and said, "I went to the room to look for you just now, and when I saw that you weren't there, I came here, and sure enough, you were sitting here looking at the stars again." Aren't the stars on our steppe particularly beautiful? ”
Pei Xiuxiu exclaimed: "The starry plain is really beautiful!" However, I'm looking at Chang'e and Jade Rabbit, who live in the moon. ”
"Oh? I guess there must be a story in this, my sister knows a lot, can you tell me about it? I love listening to my sister's stories. Naya laughed.
Pei Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, it's nothing, Chang'e's story should be regarded as a love tragedy, Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, the blue sea and the blue sky and night heart." ”
"Talk to me!"
"Good!"
"According to legend, in ancient times, Hou Yi's wife was as beautiful as an immortal......"
Pei Xiuxiu concluded: "Chang'e became an immortal because she took the immortal medicine that the Queen Mother of the West rewarded Hou Yi with and flew down to the moon, and she can no longer be with her husband Hou Yi day and night, I don't know if it's fortunate or unlucky, one of them I think only Chang'e herself knows, after all, she knows the warmth and cold." ”
Naya sighed with deep feeling: "It's so beautiful! If I were Chang'e, I wouldn't eat any elixir, what kind of happiness in the world could be compared to being with my beloved day and night? ”
"That's just as well." Pei Xiuxiu nodded and said: "Sister, the flower Gu insect poison on your face can be completely detoxified after seven more times, and then you will regain your beauty, and when the second prince returns from his victory, you can be together." ”
Naya shook her head sadly and smiled bitterly: "No, it's impossible for me to be with him, I'm not worthy of him." ”
"What is unworthy? Sister, what do you mean by that? Pei Xiuxiu said in shock: "Sister, don't you know how deep the second prince is for you?" He's willing to do anything for you. ”
Naya said lightly: "I know how good he is to me, it's just that five years have passed, and I have been his sister-in-law for five years, and many things are not said to be able to go back." ”
Pei Xiuxiu retorted: "He doesn't mind what else you still mind?" ”
Naya smiled bitterly, "When you really love someone, you want to give him the best things you have." When you can't give it to him, you will feel inferior, you will hesitate, and you will want to watch over him in another way to fulfill him. ”
"What? It's just your personal thoughts. Thinking about it from another angle, the second prince did everything possible to go to the Central Plains to find someone to treat you, and now for you, he and Wu Honglie's army are fighting bloody battles in the city, this true feeling is moving. So sister, stop thinking nonsense, you will definitely be happy. ”
Pei Xiuxiu continued to ask, "Do you know how the second prince describes the two of you?" ”
Naya's soft eyes looked at her like water, as if waiting for an answer.
"He said you are his wind, he is your sand, and when you are together, you are the most romantic wind and sand on the grassland. What a beautiful parable! The fairy couple is nothing more than that! Pei Xiuxiu had an envious face.
Naya looked up at the moon thoughtfully and said, "That's us in the past, we are indeed fairy couples, but it's a pity that ......"
Pei Xiuxiu intimately held Naya's arm and persuaded: "Don't be a pity, I believe in the saying that a lover will eventually become a family." It's been blowing cold for a long time, it's so cold, so cold, sister, let's go back. ”
"Okay." Naya nodded.
The two went back arm in arm like sisters.
Wooler's Department
Wu Honglie was discussing the battle on the Yanji border with the soldiers.
Wu Honglie couldn't hide the anxious look on his face and asked, "How is the battle on the front line?" Has the Yanji side also been lost? How did Yelu Hongliang bring the soldiers? ”
The first general replied: "The loss of Yanji is not the fault of General Yelu, it is said that Xiao Tengchong, who was guarding a place on the Yanji side, led a thousand soldiers to take the initiative to defect to the side of the second prince, and attacked us with the enemy inside and outside, so that the Yanji side was lost in less than a day. ”
Wu Honglie beat his chest in pain and said: "Yanji is an important southwest gateway to my Wule Department, and even Yanji has been lost, how can you make me not sad?" ”
The generals kneeling down at the bottom looked embarrassed, sincerely afraid, and everyone was in danger.
Wu Honglie sighed in disappointment: "We have 60,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and Wu Yafu only has 20,000, why did the city lose in less than half a month after the battle, and if it goes on like this, they will enter my big tent in half a month." ”
The first general spoke: "Chief, although the subordinates of the second prince are only 20,000 horses, they are all brave and good cavalry, not to mention a hundred battles, often out of nowhere, and win with surprise soldiers, we are really not their opponents." In addition, the second prince is a well-known wizard who can lead troops to fight in the Wool Department......"
"Shut up!" Wu Honglie's forehead was bruised, and he roared angrily: "Do you want me to give him the position of leader in front of my eyes?" You want to be a traitor too, don't you? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the leader is angry!"
Wu Honglie, who had a violent temperament, turned around and took off the treasure knife hanging on it, and stabbed at the general who had just spoken with a loud roar.
Bright red blood flowed down the sword, and the general screamed for his life, and the people below were frightened and dumbfounded.
Wu Honglie shouted angrily: "Come on, drag the traitor out!" ”
The big tent of the Chinese army on the border of Yanji
The soldiers who had returned from the victory were eating and drinking, and were holding feasts and carnivals.
Outside the tent, a flaming bonfire burned, and the enthusiastic warriors slaughtered sheep and cattle, feasted on large pieces, and drank merrily.
The cheerful music sounded, and everyone sang and danced to cheer up.
It's not lively!
In the big tent, Wu Yafu sat in the middle, raised his wine glass and toasted to the generals frequently.
Wu Yafu opened his mouth and said: "In the battle of Yanji, General Xiao is the greatest hero, come, I, Wu Yafu, toast you!" ”
Xiao Tengchong was flattered and said respectfully: "Thank you for the kindness of the second prince, Xiao is grateful." Wu Honglie has a violent temperament, he took advantage of the old leader's serious illness to secretly seize military power, mutilate compatriots, and eradicate dissidents. I am only determined to wait for the second prince to return to the grassland, lead us to clean up the people, and regain the position of leader. Xiao is willing to help the second prince, and is willing to die for the second prince. ”
"Well said! Dry! ”
"!"
A general said proudly: "Wu Honglie's subordinates are all a group of rabble, what about 60,000 horses? Will it be our opponent of the God of War team? Hahaha......"
"The defeat is like a mountain, he can't toss for too long, according to the current situation, we will be able to capture Wu Honglie alive in less than a month and rescue the people of the Wu Le Department."
These words caused the generals to smile and raise their glasses to Wu Yafu.
"Report!"
One of his subordinates respectfully knelt on the ground and said, "Second prince, General A Guyan asks to see." ”
When Wu Yafu heard that Ah Guyan, who was on a secret mission, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Hurry up!" ”
Ah Guyan walked in and said, "Second prince, Ah Guyan has come back from his mission!" ”
Wu Yafu happily walked over and patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Good brother, it's hard work, come and tell me how the situation is?" ”
Ah Guyan said calmly: "I found out, the old leader was killed by Wu Honglie, and he did not die of a serious illness as announced to the public. ”
Wu Yafu sneered: "Sure enough, it's not what I expected! For the sake of the leader, my eldest brother has become inferior to a beast, and even his father will not let go. ”
Ah Guyan opened his mouth and said, "Second prince, I will bring back a person from this investigation. ”
"Oh? Who? ”
Ah Guyan shouted, "Bring General Han in!" ”
Han Zhongmin knelt on the ground and shouted, "Meet the second prince!" ”
Wu Yafu looked at him in surprise and said, "Is that you?" ”
"General Han was present when the old leader was killed, so he knew the ins and outs of the matter. ”
Wu Yafu stared at Han Zhongmin cautiously and said, "General Han, as far as I know, you have always been the person next to my eldest brother, how could you betray him?" ”
Han Zhongmin explained: "Back to the second prince, it doesn't matter whether I betray or not, I was originally a person next to the old leader, and all my actions were in accordance with the old leader's orders, and the same is true for being sent to the eldest prince Wu Honglie to monitor him. ”
"So, aren't you Wu Honglie's cronies? But the people around the old chief? ”
Han Zhongmin nodded and said, "It's not just me, the second prince must not know yet, in fact, Nalaba was also sent by the old leader to monitor you." ”
Wu Yafu sneered and said, "I already knew about Naraba, and he took the initiative to tell me. ”
"I see." Han Zhongmin said: "At the beginning, the old leader sent the two of us to you separately to investigate which of you is more suitable to take over the position of leader, and this treatment is ten years." ”
Nalaba got up and knelt down: "Second prince, please forgive my subordinates for hiding the matter of Han Zhongmin from you, I really don't want to live up to the trust of the old leader, so this matter has never been mentioned to anyone." ”
Wu Yafu picked up Naraba with one hand and Han Zhongmin with the other and said, "You are all the most loyal and brave soldiers around my father, how can I blame you?" ”
Wu Yafu said confidently: "With General Han testifying, what else do you have to say when the court fights against Wu Honglie?" ”
"The second prince is wise!"
