Chapter 603: Leave in silence
The soldiers hurriedly agreed, carefully put down the big box, opened the lid of the box, and the contents came into view, Si Qian and Chang Xi were stunned for a moment.
Chang Xi took out a medium-sized medicine bag from the box, touched the lead on the outside, and asked Si Ba:
"Isn't this a black medicine, that's all?" Black medicine is gunpowder packet, because the powder inside is black, like the end of the medicine, Changxi has always been called "black medicine".
"This is enough, Your Highness said, these black medicines are not very powerful, and the siege of the city will definitely not work, there are mountains everywhere here, just blast stones for you, throw stone cannons." This can't be blown up too hard stone, you look at the explosion, don't waste it. ”
"Is that kid from Cangqiu Country so useless?" Chang Xi twisted the lead on the medicine bag and asked suspiciously.
"That kid is just a medicine bag, he doesn't know what kind of medicine he is packing, he has worked hard to make it like this, if it weren't for his hard work to dispense medicine and forget to sleep and eat, His Highness would have cut him down a long time ago. Now the firearms room has been shut down, because the sulfur is gone, and all the sulfur that Lord Changxi has smuggled back from various countries over the years has been exhausted, and there is no sulfur supply in the country, so the firearms room can only be suspended. His Royal Highness said, fortunately, there are not many sulfur mines in Longxi Kingdom, which are generally used in mines and fireworks, and are limited in wars, so you don't need to panic. ”
"I didn't panic." Chang Xipi said with a smile, "It's just that Lord Ben worked so hard to risk losing his head that the sulfur smuggled back from various countries was actually used up by the thief in Cangqiu Country, and the thief hasn't made a result for me, His Highness didn't cut him, but I wanted to take off his head!" ”
"Lord Chang Xi extinguished the fire, and the firearms room was all pointed at the little thief, although the little thief only knew how to pack medicine and didn't understand anything, but his nose was smart, but his brain was not very good." Si Ba said with a little disgust.
"That's just the right time to take it off." Chang Xi flattened her face and said gloomily.
Si Ba smiled, and didn't take his words to heart: "Since everything has been delivered, I will go back first, and His Highness is still waiting for me to go back to my life." Before leaving, I saw Si Jiu, what about Si Jiu? ”
"She's in the tent." Chang Xi replied, seeing that Si Ba turned around to look for Si Jiu, he added, his tone was calm, not sad or happy, "She has been sleepy a lot lately, you go and take a look, maybe she hasn't woken up yet." ”
Si Ba's ankle, which had already begun to turn, stopped, looked at Chang Xi, the smile on the corner of her lips stiffened, and after the stiffness, she still smiled shallowly and turned around.
Chang Xi withdrew her gaze from her back, looked down at the black medicine bag in her hand, thoughtful, but didn't know what he was thinking.
……
Si Ba walked quickly, inquired all the way, and came to Si Jiu's tent in a hurry, opened the tent curtain, and walked in.
Si Jiu's tent was next to the tent, a very small tent, and there was only a small bed in the tent. When Si Ba entered, Si Jiu was really asleep with his clothes as Chang Xi said.
Si Ba's heart sank slightly, and he walked over lightly, walked to Si Jiu's bed, and poked his head out to look at her face.
Even though Si Jiu was asleep, her long hair still covered half of her face, she closed one eye, her breathing was calm, obviously she was asleep, but her skin was still as pale and blue as usual, stiff like a dead man, and there was no ruddy color at all.
At this moment, Si Jiu suddenly opened one eye, and Huo Di sat up.
Si Ba was taken aback by her, and the picture of Si Jiu suddenly waking up was still very impactful.
Si Jiu sat up, calmed down, looked to the side, and found that it was Si Ba standing by the bed, he was startled, subconsciously blurted out, and asked in a panic:
"Why are you here? What's wrong with Your Highness? ”
used a panicked tone, but that face was always as stiff as a white-faced female ghost mask, and the slightly trembling tone was matched with a stiff face, how to listen to it and feel out of tune.
"Your Highness didn't do much, I'm here to deliver weapons for Your Highness." Si Ba dragged a small wooden pier from the side, sat down, replied with a smile, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Si Jiu froze, filtered Si Ba's answer in his mind, and after a few times he understood what she meant, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, you're having nightmares?" Si Ba took a sip of tea soup and asked with a smile.
"Nope." Si Jiu replied in a low voice, because of the mood dropped, her voice became as hoarse as before, "Since His Highness sent you to deliver weapons, you have sent them, don't go back quickly, the army of Long Xiguo here may come at any time, and when the road is blocked, it is difficult to leave if you want to, Your Highness is still waiting for you to go back to restore your life." ”
"I came here on the orders of His Highness to see how you are doing." Si Ba said confidently.
Si Jiu was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Your Highness ordered you?" ”
"Nope. Your Highness, you don't know yet, usually as soft and sweet as a sweet cake, but when you really encounter something, some things that you are used to saying will not be said, if I go back and don't mention that you are safe and sound, she should be unhappy again, I don't want to see her unhappy. Si Ba twisted his shoulders, which had become sour from the long journey, and said in a helpless tone, raising his eyes, glancing at the unfinished wax figure in Si Jiu's hand.
Si Jiu didn't ask any more, she felt Si Ba's gaze falling on her hand, and put the little wax man away.
"And when are you leaving?"
"Finish this cup of tea and leave." Si Ba raised the teacup and replied.
Si Jiu fell silent.
"What the hell is going on with you, I'm close, if you usually woke up?" Si Ba asked casually in a chatty tone.
Si Jiu's eyes were staring away, she rarely looked at people, and after a moment of silence, she replied in a low voice:
"I couldn't sleep for a few days in a row, and I happened to be sleepy, so I fell asleep a little deeper."
"Yes." Si Ba held the teacup, glanced at her, and said nothing.
Si Jiu is a person who is not good at talking, even a person like Si Ba, who has an itchy tongue if he doesn't speak for a day, is only speechless in front of her.
In the silent atmosphere, Siba drank all the cup of tea, and she stood up to go back.
"That's right." Si Jiu suddenly remembered, took out a small burden from the foot of the bed, and stuffed it into Si Ba's hand, "You help me bring it to Your Highness." ”
Si Ba was stunned, looked down, and in the small baggage were two kitten-shaped candles, looking at the fat and stupid form of the two cats, probably based on the big cat.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you brought it to Your Highness when you went back." Si Ba said.
Si Jiu didn't speak, just pushed the burden into her arms.
Si Ba's face finally became serious, she lowered her eyes, and accepted the burden that Si Ba pushed to her. This time she didn't smile anymore, she raised her head and glanced at Si Jiu deeply.
They just glanced at each other, but no one spoke.
Then, Si Ba turned around and went out with Si Jiu's small baggage.
