Chapter Eighty-Eight: Take Me Away
It snowed again in the morning, and a thin layer of snow was already covering the wide ground outside.
Finchgrass lifted the curtain and entered the tent.
The girl who was adding firewood to the bonfire greeted her, "Sister, did you say that?" How is it? Did they agree to take their sister to Beijing with them? ”
"It's not so easy," said Finchgrass, shaking her head, and sat down by the campfire, "They said they would report it to General Gui Delang first, and if he agreed, he would give me a ride." ”
She asked, "Where are you going when I'm gone?" ”
"The war continues, I don't even have a place to live, and the young guard will let me take care of my sister, so I have a place to eat and live." The girl bowed her head and said, "In a few days, when the army is out of camp, I will have nowhere to go." ”
Quecao lowered her eyes, the girl had been taking care of her attentively, she was very grateful, but now she couldn't protect herself, and she couldn't take her with her.
There was silence when a soldier outside spoke loudly, "Is the girl inside?" The general has please. ”
"It must be the German general." The girl snorted when she heard this, and said excitedly.
Tianyuan Guowen is weak and strong, and the official residence above the fourth rank can be called a general, and Gui Delang will be ranked from the fourth grade, and he will also be a general.
"I'll go first." Finchgrass stood up, tightened her coat and walked out of the tent.
The flame-burning wood crackled, and the girl blinked, and soon followed.
Following the soldiers through the paths left between the many tents, the grass came to a large tent.
The soldier went to report and led her in.
The warm breeze in the tent was blowing in her face, and when she looked at it, she immediately recognized that the man standing by the sand table was the general who had fainted a few days ago.
She saluted, not speaking first to avoid being abrupt.
"You're going to the capital?" General Lu opened his mouth and said, without raising his head.
"Yes." Grass back.
"It's okay to take you for a ride, but you have to go to the palace with General Ben." General Lu made a request.
Quecao felt her heart throb violently, "Entering the palace? ”
"Meet the Emperor." General Lu said, "You are the only one who survived the impact of that artifact, and the emperor and the civil and military officials need your testimony." ”
With his hands clenched into fists, Quecao said, "It is incumbent on the people's daughters. ”
"That's fine, you go down." General Lu pulled out the flag on the corner of the sand table.
"General, I wonder if you can bring another person?" Finchgrass asked tentatively.
General Lu finally looked up at her, and Que Cao suddenly felt his scalp tighten.
"Okay." General Lu nodded and stopped looking at her.
Finchgrass breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the tent.
I didn't expect to have the opportunity to enter the palace so soon, and I must not miss it this time.
Flying Dragon Country, the capital, the Imperial Palace.
He Lianyue, who was summoned by the emperor, entered the palace from the East China Gate.
Along the way, his emotions have calmed down a lot, although he is not afraid of other people's suspicions, but the face play must be done well.
The father still values the benevolence of the monarch very much, and he doesn't dare to make too many mistakes.
Helian Qian's convoy will enter the palace in another quarter of an hour, because the return is too sudden, and the palace is connected to the wind banquet.
But fortunately, preparations had already begun, from the moment the convoy appeared outside the city to the hour when it entered the palace, the welcoming officials had already knelt down in front of the palace gate to greet them, but they did not lose their royal dignity.
In order to pretend, he also specially waited in front of the gate of the inner palace.
A long drum beat was heard in the distance, and a group of officers and soldiers finally escorted the carriage into the corridor, and walked over slowly, followed by a group of officials.
When he got closer, 'Helian Qian' lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Helian Yue stepped forward and saluted, "The younger brother has seen the imperial brother, and after a long farewell of two years, I don't know if the imperial brother has survived the danger, the younger brother is very worried, and now the imperial brother is finally back!" ”
Helian Qian smiled and raised his hand to help, "The second brother is polite, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss the second brother very much." ”
He Lianyue wanted to say a few more polite words, but suddenly a series of footsteps came from behind her.
"Brother Prince-" The immature child's voice sounded, and the eight or nine-year-old little princess hurriedly ran over with her skirt in one hand and the little black cat in the other.
'Helian Qian' immediately greeted him, "Seventh sister ......"
Before the words were finished, the little princess stumbled and fell to the ground, and the little black cat in her arms jumped out quickly before being pressed, but unfortunately jumped directly in front of 'Helian Qian', and her claws were forceful, leaving three distinct scratches on the back of his hand, and blood flowed.
"The little princess has fallen!"
"The eldest prince has been arrested!"
"Take that beast!"
The eunuchs, palace maids and officers and soldiers in front of the palace gate suddenly became a mess.
Helian Qian' helped the little princess up, regardless of the scars on her hands.
Helian Yue walked over and asked pretending to be concerned, "Is the imperial brother okay?" ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered, "Go and ask for a doctor." ”
The little eunuch answered the call and left.
Helian Yue subconsciously looked at Helian Qian's hand, but her eyes slammed suddenly.
"It doesn't matter." Helian replied to him, not noticing his abnormality.
The thoughts in Helian Yue's heart turned and turned, and her expression became obscure.
Besides, after Bai Zhuo explained what he should explain, he was ready to go back to have dinner with Ning Yunxiao.
He brought delicious snacks to Ning Yunxiao, and when he came out of the restaurant, he saw a stall selling dogs on the side of the street.
Bai Zhuo immediately stepped back, and although he didn't understand what an electric shock was, he felt the same as an electric shock now.
He was afraid of dogs.
When I was young, I took advantage of the inattention of the servants who were waiting, and secretly ran out to play, and was robbed by a big dog in the alley.
He was so scared that he even forgot to run, so he was still a little sensible, and blocked it with his arm when the dog pounced.
It was also thanks to a hunter passing by and shooting the dog to death with an arrow, otherwise he would not have survived to this day.
But although the dog died, he began to have a high fever after he returned, and his body was very weak for a long time, and he had to get cold from the rain and the wind.
Since then, Bai Zhuo has stayed away from the dog, and the scar on his arm slowly fades as it grows bigger and bigger, but the pain that pierces his heart at that time seems to be felt.
The vendor of the stall took out a few white puppies with brown spots from the wooden box, which was the size of his palm, and looked like they had just been weaned.
This one is too different in size from the one that bit him, maybe he doesn't even have teeth.
I'm afraid it will do anything!
Thinking like this, Bai Zhuo instantly felt confident.
A girl from an ordinary family squatted in front of the stall and poked the puppy with her finger, and the puppy immediately hid to the side.
The girl giggled.
The laughter drew a few women who passed by to gather in front of the stall, and they bent down slightly to touch the puppy with a look of affection.
Bai Zhuo turned around and paused for a moment in his thoughts and steps to leave.
These women love puppies no matter how old they are, so ...... Does Ning Yunxiao like it too?
If she is in a hurry, she doesn't even have a living creature by her side, and if she gets her a puppy back, she can still have a way to relieve her boredom.
The more Bai Zhuo thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very good, so he couldn't help but walk towards the stall.
Several women and girls subconsciously looked sideways when they saw someone coming, thinking that it would be a woman, but they didn't want a young man to come.
They were all stunned.
It's the first time I've met such a handsome young man.
The vendor was also stunned, and asked hesitantly, "I don't know what happened to this son?" ”
Buying a dog in the middle of a group of women made Bai Zhuo very awkward, and he pursed his lips slightly with a straight face.
"This, how much money." He glanced at the puppy, and several women retreated a little because of their suspicion, but they whispered quietly, which made him feel like a thorn in his back, and his whole body was uncomfortable.
Without waiting for the merchant to answer him, he squatted down and picked up one of the puppies, kept the money, and hurried away.
"Childe! Son! The vendor shouted in the back, "That's a lot of money!" ”
Bai Zhuo quickened his pace, almost wanting to perform light skills, but did not look back.
The sky gradually darkened, and before Bai Zhuo came back, Ning Yunxiao sat on the earth dragon with a stack of books and picked it up.
After looking around, I wasn't interested in a book, but my eyes hurt.
She took the scissors from the embroidery stand, tore off the thicker blue pages, cut them into fifty equal sheets, and then took a brush and wrote on them, making a simple poker.
In ancient times, there was no entertainment, and when she was bored, she took this poker and was able to count her life for 800 lifetimes.
Just as he was setting up eight doors, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
She guessed that Bai Zhuo was back, but before she could see him clearly, she was attracted by a "whoosh".
What is it?
Ning Yunxiao followed the sound and looked over, and at a glance saw the puppy that was half-strangled by Bai Zhuo and held in his arms.
Because the puppy has just been weaned, it is too small to bark, so it can only pull its four paws and whine in its throat, expressing its dissatisfaction with being strangled.
Bai Zhuo's face was almost blue, and every time the puppy moved, he felt that it would rush up and bite him the next moment.
He couldn't wait to walk up to Ning Yunxiao, and threw the dog out with him.
"Where did you get the puppy, oh my God, it's so cute!" Ning Yunxiao's eyes widened, and she hurriedly reached out to pick it up, and the fluffy puppy landed steadily in her palm, warm.
She immediately smiled, her eyes crooked.
Bai Zhuo saw it, and the unhappiness in Fang Cai's heart immediately dissipated, and it was not in vain that he picked up the dog so far away.
Ning Yunxiao nodded the puppy's nose, looked up and asked, "Where did you get it, did you pick it up?" ”
"Bought it." Bai Zhuo took off his boots, got on the earth dragon, and sat down across from her.
"Bought it? Specially sent to me? Ning Yunxiao asked in surprise.
After speaking, he leaned forward and patted Bai Zhuo's shoulder, "Good boy, which mountain did you go up to, which master did you worship, and finally learned to do what you liked." ”
Bai Zhuo didn't understand what this meant at the first time, and frowned slightly, "Don't you like it?" ”
"I like it!" Ning Yunxiao said, kissing the puppy, "I won't be bored alone this time, just making clothes for this little guy can pass the time." ”
Bai Zhuo suddenly became depressed.
He bought a dog for Ning Yunxiao to bring back, and he wasted so much effort, but the dog fished out a kiss, and he didn't get anything.
"What is this?" He asked, holding the piece of paper and holding it in front of his eyes to look at it.
"Poker." Ning Yunxiao said, "There is time to teach you to play golden hook fishing......
Bai Zhuo didn't understand what poker meant, but he understood the latter sentence.
"Teach me now." He said, quite happy.
Ning Yunxiao pulled the puppy's ears and said without raising his head, "I don't have time now." ”
Bai Zhu stopped.
Ning Yunxiao continued, "What does it eat? Can you eat meat? Cooked rice? Bun? Slim? ”
She looked up, "You didn't ask when you bought it!" ”
"Nope." Bai Zhuo said, a little annoyed.
Ning Yunxiao asked again, "Why?" ”
"Forget." Bai Zhuo thought that he was afraid of dogs, so it would be good if he didn't tie a rope around the dog's neck and drag it back, and asked it what it ate!
Ning Yunxiao grinned, "I'm hungry, you haven't eaten yet, what do you want to eat?" Is hot pot OK? It is just right to eat in winter! ”
"Don't eat it!" Bai Zhuo didn't want to answer, but after speaking, he slammed again, and said slowly, "Eat ......"
