Chapter Seventy-Eight

"War Dragon, did you say that the two men in black that we captured with great effort were the advance spies of that team of military horses?" Dou Hu sat opposite the war dragon, looking a little anxious.

"So what? Now they are in prison, and there is nothing they can do to report it. With only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if they want to get close to my Qingfeng Mountain for half a step, I'm afraid it's too much to do. After speaking, the war dragon showed a sneer. The incense burner is lit with light and pleasant incense, and the charcoal stove next to it is burning red, making it warm and comfortable to be in the room. The war dragon in a wide robe was half-lying on the couch covered with a thick futon at this time, supporting his chin with one hand and holding a scroll in the other, looking a little lazy.

"We have catapults and ballistas as a precaution, and we think that before the enemy can reach the bottom of the hill, they will be crushed by bows and arrows. I'm afraid that some spies have already secretly infiltrated the mountain, and when the two armies fight, I am afraid that it will disrupt our formation......" Dou Hu said with a frown.

"At present, the barrier of the flood is still there, if you want to go up the mountain, you must first cross the water, and even the two spies with extraordinary martial arts in the prison have not escaped our eyes, let alone other mediocre people." The war dragon replied lightly.

"That way, I'm relieved...... I then went to inform the stewards, that they should quickly pacify their brothers, so that the people of the village would not be panicked. ”

The war dragon nodded, then moved his gaze back to the scroll. If you want the Aomine Cottage to submit to him, let me first test how capable he is......

That night, Ning Yue pulled Xiaoyan into her room, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Sister Xiaoyan, I'...... I have one thing to ask for......"

"Why do we sisters need to be so polite to each other, Sister Yue'er, what do you command, but it doesn't matter!" Grinning.

"Tomorrow evening, I want to go down the mountain......" Ning Yue replied hesitantly.

"Sister Yue'er, the flood has not receded, and there is an ocean under the mountain, why did you go down the mountain at this time?" Xiaoyan put away his smile, looked at Ning Yue seriously and said.

"The commander of the group of soldiers and horses under the mountain, I'm afraid it's my old acquaintance, I ...... I want to ask him for help...... Sister Xiaoyan, don't worry, I will definitely come back as soon as possible, so, when I am not there, I will still have you to take care of Grandpa Yan and Han Yue......" After speaking, Ning Yue lowered her head guiltily.

Looking at Ning Yue with a smile, he said angrily: "In the past, when my brother-in-law went out, the three of us depended on each other and were always safe, so you don't have to worry." It's just that what Sister Yue'er is asking for, can't I or Douhu help them, why do you have to risk your life to go to the barracks to find your old acquaintance? ”

"Sister Xiaoyan, don't be angry, I'...... I want to meet someone...... Just after seeing each other, I came back immediately, and I never stayed for ...... "Forgive me for my selfishness...... Forgive me for not taking good care of you...... But that's my last wish...... I hope you can make it happen...... As she spoke, Ning Yue could no longer control the tears in her eyes, and let them keep slipping.

"Sister Yue'er, don't cry, I promise you with a smile that I will accompany you to the mountain tomorrow." After smiling and comforting a few words, he finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Seeing that Sister Yue'er is so excited, is it because you want to meet your sweetheart?" ”

After Ning Yue heard this, she slowly raised her head, smiled lightly, and nodded silently.

The next day, the sky was clear, and early in the morning, Ning Yue and Xiaoyan led Grandpa Yan and Han Yue for a walk in the forest near the house. After returning to the house for lunch, Ning Yue began to pack her bags in the room, while Xiaoyan sat aside and watched blankly. After the clothes were wrapped properly, Ning Yue walked quickly to the kitchen and began to steam steamed buns for the three of them.

"Sister Xiaoyan, I will make five steamed buns for you, one cage of ten, and when you finish eating, it will be the day I come back." Ning Yue was worried that the three of them would not be able to eat enough after she left, so she hurriedly prepared fragrant meat buns for them before leaving, chatting to meet the urgent needs.

"Sister Yue'er, you are not allowed to lie!" After hearing this, the smile dissipated and said with a smile.

"Never break your word!" Ning Yue smiled back.

"That smile eats three times a day, and she will be able to eat them all in no time!" Xiao Yan couldn't imagine that he could come up with such a wonderful method, and he couldn't help but laugh even more.

At sunset, the two quietly left the house, holding hands and walking slowly down the hill, shoulder to shoulder. The orange-red sunset covers the mountains and forests with a layer of golden veil, birds return to their nests, snakes and insects are hidden, flowers and leaves are dewed, white mist is steaming, quiet and blurred, like a fantasy.

"Sister Yue'er, watch your step...... Sister Yue'er, get closer to me, beware of inhaling miasma......" Along the way, Xiaoyan grabbed Ning Yue's hand tightly, and said a few words from time to time, making Ning Yue feel warm.

Finally walked to the mountainside, the fog dispersed, and the eyes suddenly opened up, Ning Yue hurriedly looked down the mountain, as the people in the cottage said, the flood at the foot of the mountain was pervasive, Qingfeng Village has been reduced to a pool of water, only the scattered few brick roofs above the water surface, can make people believe in the existence of Qingfeng Village. This situation made people feel sad when they saw it, and Ning Yue and Xiaoyan couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.

"Woo...... Sister Yue'er, when the flood waters recede, we will go home...... As long as you tidy up a little, you will definitely be able to return to the way you used to be......" Xiaoyan wiped her tears with her sleeve and said firmly.

"yes...... We will be able to go back to the old days...... There are you, there is me, there is Grandpa Yan, there is Brother Han, and Han Yue......" Ning Yue looked at the turbidity in front of her sadly, and replied softly.

The two cried for a while, then took another step and continued to walk down the mountain. When I walked to the bottom of the mountain, I saw that the path in front of me had been flooded and I couldn't go half a step further.

"Sister Yue'er, there is no way out now, how are you going to go to the other side?"

Ning Yue shook her head and was silent. Before going down the mountain, she had been hoping that at least she would find an unflooded path to the barracks, but now that her hopes were disappointed, she could only sigh helplessly as she watched the smoke rise from the barracks.

"Those...... What is it? Just when the two of them were worried, Xiaoyan suddenly noticed a little light floating from the other side, and gradually approached them, the light flickered and flickered, as if floating in the water, which was very strange.

"It's Krathong!" Ning Yue fixed his eyes and saw that dozens of rustic water lanterns floated along the current, and the light was the candlelight in the water lanterns.

After waiting for a long time, one of the water lanterns finally floated in front of them, and Ning Yue hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but saw a small note in the water lantern. Ning Yue hesitated for a moment before opening the note. I saw a few sentences on the note, and the pen was vigorous, and it was written: First, please invite the big boss of Qingfeng Cottage to come to discuss, and second, please come to meet Yue'er quickly. Sign-off: Qi word.
