Chapter 24: Comfortable
"Aren't you feeling unwell?"
"I've slept and I'm fine."
"If you're well, you have to go back to the palace."
"Then does the emperor let the concubines go back by themselves or send someone back?"
"Naturally, I sent someone back."
Calamus said in a resolute tone: "The concubine will not leave." ”
"It's not negotiable."
Calamus turned to look at him, her eyes glazed.
Sun Wen leaned over to the table and looked at it: "You did this?" ”
"Hmm." Calamus came over and served him a bowl, "There's nothing delicious to eat when marching and fighting, the emperor will take it first." ”
Sun Wen took it: "It's so fragrant." ”
"Taste it."
Seeing that Sun Wen was immersed in eating sweetly, Calamus asked, "Is it delicious?" ”
"I've never eaten such delicious porridge."
"Then the emperor will let the concubines stay."
Sun Wen said while eating, "Do you want to use a bowl of sweet potato porridge to pass the time?" When the day dawns, you can go back wherever you want. ”
His attitude was resolute, Calamus was secretly annoyed, and she still said with a pleasant face: "The concubine really wants to follow the emperor's royal expedition." ”
Seeing her earnest tone, Sun Wen couldn't help but stop: "Tang Calamus, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" ”
Afraid that he would be suspicious, Calamus looked innocent: "It's better to be a concubine to repay the emperor for helping him several times." ”
Seeing her eyes, Sun Wen's tone softened: "Fighting is not what you think, it's really bitter." ”
"Concubines are not afraid of hardship."
Sun didn't make a sound, and suddenly handed over the bowl: "Hold another bowl." ”
Calamus was overjoyed, took it and said: "If the emperor likes it, the concubines will change their tricks every day." ”
"You'd better not be careful." Sun Wen half-jokingly and half-warned, "In case I find out, I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
Calamus half-tilted her head: "Didn't the emperor say that marching and fighting is not as deceitful as the palace Eryu and me, why should the concubines be careful?" ”
"That's for the best."
Sun Wen's appetite was surprisingly good, and he ate a large bowl of sweet potato porridge, and when the sky gradually became clear, the large army quickly packed up and prepared to set off again.
The calamus followed him and was the only sight.
"Put it on." Before leaving, he threw a set of clothes to Calamus, "What does it look like to dress like this?" ”
Calamus looked down at her outfit: "The concubine is dressed very conformistly." ”
"I'm asking you to disguise yourself as a man."
Only then did Irisa react, blushing and picking up her clothes to change.
Sun Wen's clothes looked very long and big on her, and she specially rolled up her sleeves and fastened her belt to ensure that she would not fall off before going out unnaturally. Sun Wen was originally inadvertently pondering, but he followed the sound and looked at the calamus, but he was stunned.
Seeing that he was stunned, Calamus snorted unnaturally: "It's still the emperor who thinks thoughtfully, and women dressing up as men can indeed save a lot of inconvenience." If she could, the concubine would like to ride a horse, which would be more comfortable. Your Majesty, is that okay? ”
His gaze was still fixed on her, a little distracted.
"Your Majesty?"
Sun Wen suddenly said, "You look like her." ”
Calamus frowned faintly: "Who?" ”
"It's my ......"
The guard said outside the tent: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, it's time to go." ”
Sun Wen stood up: "I'll tell you more when I have time." The priority was to drive out the Turks. ”
Under the leadership of Sun Wen, the army of Nanliang galloped straight north, and at a distance of ten kilometers from the Turks, it was a dense forest. Nanliang's army was stationed here.
Next, Sun Wen personally issued orders and implemented the battle plan. Along the way, Calamus followed him and took care of his daily life meticulously. Rest, talking, eating, dressing...... The two gradually formed a tacit understanding.
After a few small fights, the war became more and more urgent, and the battle of life and death was about to begin.
Sun Wen and several generals discussed battle plans in a large tent, while Calamus was outside boiling a large pot of barley tea.
She was already thinking about how to escape smoothly when the time came.
When Sun Wen led the army to exterminate the Turks, it was the best time for her to leave.
A long-planned conspiracy is finally about to come true.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
The people inside walked out, smelled the strong wheat fragrance, and couldn't help asking, "What is so fragrant?" ”
The calamus was scooped out with a wooden spoon: "It's barley tea, and a few generals can taste it." ”
She gave Sun Wen a drink a few days ago, and he liked the taste very much.
Several generals drank a bowl one after another: "The tea brewed by Madame tastes very good." ”
Here, they don't call Niangniang either, but Madame.
Sun Wen finally came out of it and saw Calamus talking and laughing with several generals, and also showed a rare gentleness: "When the Turks are expelled, I will definitely let you taste Madame's tea art." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Someone shouted: "Even if it is to drink the lady's tea, the ministers must bow down and die." ”
They realized that they were between Sun Wen and Calamus, and immediately made an excuse to retreat.
When everyone was finished, Calamus handed Sun Wen a bowl of tea: "Your Majesty, drink a bowl to warm up." ”
When she took the tea bowl, Sun Wen saw that her hands were much rougher, and her whole face was not powdered, but she had an indescribable skillful and gentleness, and her heart moved, and she said, "You have worked hard in the past few days with my imperial driver. ”
Calamus didn't care much, turned around and scooped tea: "The concubines do just the simplest work, and the emperor and his soldiers are really hard." ”
"I didn't expect you to endure the hardships of war."
At this time, Calamus smiled slyly: "The concubine said that it was okay." ”
"Calamus."
Calamus turned her face, a little stunned.
He has always called him by his first name, and this is the first time he has called himself "Calamus".
Sun Wen casually put down the bowl and hugged her from behind.
Calamus hurriedly looked around: "Your Majesty...... will be seen. ”
"When I win, I'll tell you something."
"Okay, the emperor let go first." Calamus covered her mouth, "The concubine feels a little uncomfortable. ”
Sun Wen asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Calamus frowned and stroked her chest: "I feel uncomfortable when I smell the smell of barley tea." ”
"Are you alright?" Sun Wen helped her, "Go first and rest for a while." ”
"The concubine still has to make dinner for the emperor."
"Don't do it, I'll do it. Hengzhu can't do anything today, so it's good for me to relax when cooking. ”
Calamus almost lost her footing: "What? The emperor does? ”
Sun Wen's stubbornness came: "What? Do you think I won't do it? ”
Calamus hurriedly said: "That's not what the concubine meant."
"You wait, I've opened your eyes." Calamus looked at the bowl of black things on the table, and then looked at Sun Wen's face stained with black charcoal, and didn't know how to say for a while.
Sun Wen explained: "I wanted to make steamed eggs, but I didn't know how to burn them. ”
Calamus got up and wiped his face with a handkerchief: "The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and he doesn't need to learn to cook." ”
"If I can't even do small things, how can I rule the world?" Sun Wen took her hand away, "I still don't believe that I can't even make steamed eggs." ”
"It's better for the concubines to do it, the emperor has dinner and rests early, and he will go to war early tomorrow morning......"
"You teach me." Sun Wen said, "You say on the side, I will do it." ”
Calamus knew that he was a character who would not give up until he reached his goal, so he stopped speaking and sighed: "The concubine accompanied the emperor to cook." ”
Walking into the simple kitchen, Calamus was startled again, the smell of burnt was permeated, and the pots and pans were even more crooked, she said while cleaning up: "Steamed eggs first beat the eggs, and then add boiling water mixed with salt......
She wanted to take the eggs again and found a lot of broken eggs on the ground.
looked at Sun Wen, it was rare for him to be quiet and not speak.
Calamus couldn't bear to blame an emperor for being clumsy, and said with a smile: "Let's make the Pope's favorite sweet potato porridge." ”
She taught Sun Wen how to wash sweet potatoes, cut them, wash rice, boil porridge, add sweet potatoes, and add honey......
When he smelled the fragrance of sweet potato porridge, Sun Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect cooking to be such a knowledgeable thing. ”
"It's all about starting from the simplest, learning to fill your stomach with hunger, and then striving for excellence."
Sun Wenle served her a bowl of porridge: "The first time I cook, let you taste the craftsmanship first." ”
Calamus was stunned at first.
Sun Wen couldn't wait to feed her.
"Ahh
He had a disappointed expression: "It's hard to eat? ”
Calamus blew: "It's too hot." After swallowing, she said, "The emperor's craftsmanship is faster than that of the concubine." ”
"Really?"
"Really."
Sun Wen laughed happily, his eyes narrowed, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was particularly crooked.
He had many kinds of smiles, and this one was especially cute today, which made Calamus feel the joy and laugh along.
As she was about to leave, they could finally live in peace for a while.
At night, the two slept together.
Calamus has been suffering from insomnia.
Sun Wen held her hand in the quilt: "Have you slept?" ”
"Can't sleep."
He turned around and hugged her: "Why can't you sleep?" ”
"I'm a little worried."
Sun Wen asked, "Are you worried about tomorrow's war?" ”
Calamus muttered: "Hmm. The concubine hoped that the emperor would return victoriously. ”
Sun Wen did not speak.
After a long time, he said, "Calamus." ”
"Huh?"
He kissed her softly on the neck and whispered, "Wait, I will definitely return victorious." ”
Okay, she said to herself.
She would have hoped for his victory, but not for him to return.
"I want to sleep with you."
"Hmm."
He hugged her whole person in his arms and sighed deeply: "Sometimes when I think about it, it may be a good thing to drive the expedition in person. ”
"Why?"
"Let me and you stop stinging each other like hedgehogs."
Calamus just laughs.
Sun Wen put his hand on her flat lower abdomen, and there was a burst of warmth: "Do you like a son or a daughter?" ”
"Huh?" Calamus blushed, "Why did the emperor ask about this?" ”
He asked, "Do you like a son or a daughter?" ”
"The concubine didn't think about it."
"Then think about it and tell me when you return tomorrow."
Calamus was funny and angry: "What the concubine likes, can the emperor change anything?" Boys or girls, it's more of an opportunity. ”
Who knew that Sun Wen said: "If one doesn't work, it will be reborn, and there will always be one who wants." ”
Calamus laughed out loud.
Sun Wen tickled her: "I'm serious, but you think it's funny?" ”
Calamus dodged: "I have to fight tomorrow, I really don't know why the emperor's spirit is so good." ”
"I'm confident that I can win this battle."
"It seems that the emperor is fully prepared."
The two chatted on and off for a long time, and when Calamus had sleepiness, Sun Wen was about to get up.
He wouldn't let her get up: "It's still early, are you asleep?" ”
The moonlight faintly reflected Sun Wen's figure through the thin curtain on the tent, and when he got dressed, he turned around, and looked at the person on the bed with mang's eyes: "Calamus." ”
"Your Majesty?"
"Wait for me to come back."
Calamus watched him walk out of the tent, and outside there was the sound of trumpets, horses' hooves, and bright torches.
Sun Wen led people to the military camp at the beginning of dawn, and the other party was caught off guard and it was difficult to resist at once.
Nanliang's army was all warriors, with one enemy and ten, the Turkic soldiers all lost their armor and collapsed.
"Your Majesty! I searched everywhere, but I didn't see the Turkic prince Chahar. ”
"Capture the thief and capture the king!" Sun Wen had a solemn face, "Thoroughly investigate every corner, there must be no big fish that slip through the net!" ”
Sun Wen looked around and looked at the blood on the military advisors of Nanliang, which was the blood of victory.
He raised his sword high: "Sergeant Nanliang, unstoppable!" ”
"Your Majesty, look!" The soldier on the side pointed sharply, "The place where Nan Liang is stationed is smoking." ”
Sun Wen rode his horse and frowned tightly: "Fire! That's fire! ”
"Oh no! Someone attacked my Nanliang camp and burned down our tents. ”
Sun Wen suddenly remembered: "Calamus! ”
He spurred on his good horses, galloped his horses, and sweated like rain.
By the time he arrived, the fire was raging.
Without hesitation, Sun Wen jumped off his horse and rushed to the largest tent: "Calamus! Calamus! ”
The fire engulfed every corner, scorching and blinding.
Before he could get there, the roof of the tent collapsed instantly.
"Calamus!"
The soldiers who chased after him stopped him: "Your Majesty, there is fire everywhere, you can't go!" ”
Sun Wen's whole face was sweaty: "She's inside, she's still inside!" ”
Calamus looked down, but the man grabbed her ankle: "Take your life!" ”
She was startled and kicked him away.
The man really had no strength, and he was wounded, and he couldn't speak when he was kicked by the calamus.
Calamus was anxious and afraid, and wanted to run away, but when she saw the horse on the side, she hesitated for a while and leaned down: "Are you okay?" ”
It was a man who turned his face, with blood on his face, apparently seriously injured.
Calamus tempted him: "Can you still ride a horse?" ”
"Water...... I want water......"
Calamus hurriedly went to the river and brought him a pinch of water.
Chahar gradually opened his eyes and saw that it was a strange woman, and grabbed her throat: "Who are you?" ”
He was injured, and Calamus pushed him away with a look of disdain: "Just because you are half dead now, you still want to deal with me?" ”
"You!"
Calamus looked at his horse and said, "Based on your current injury, you shouldn't be able to ride a horse, right?" ”
Never before was so insulted, and it came from a woman's mouth, Chahar held his breath: "What does it matter to you whether I can ride or not?" ”
Calamus took out a silver ingot: "I want to buy your horse." ”
"Don't you think about it."
She shoved the silver into his hand for no reason: "I believe that this silver will be more helpful to you than this horse." With that, she jumped on her horse, held the reins, and swept away.
Chahar clutched the silver in his hand, his face unwilling and indignant.
Bumpy along the way, and didn't know much about the road conditions, Calamus was wary, specially disguised as a man, and was unwilling to stop on the way, and went straight to the south.
