Chapter 2: The Door Covers Dusk

The news was very short, only a few words, but the meaning of it surprised Su Mi.

Mr. Ge and Wen Xian have already set off and started to return to the north!

Breaking away from the shackles of the deep walls of the Great Qi Capital, Su Mi's contact with the outside forces was naturally unimpeded. It had already been accurately reported that Nan Chen's capital had been destroyed by Ni Yuan at the end of March, but the war was not over. Although Ni Yuan's achievements in this battle were brilliant, the results were not very satisfactory. In particular, the regent prince of Nan Chen was supported by loyal generals and broke through the capital, which left a great hidden danger for Ni Yuan's next expedition.

Thinking about the current situation carefully, people can't help but sigh, Northern Qi and Southern Chen, the capitals of the two great powers in the world have fallen into the hands of the enemy, but the emperor is also out of the way, seeking the opportunity to restore the country and counterattack.

It is said that not long ago, an enthronement ceremony was held in Zhan Ye, succeeding to the throne as emperor, and the emperor of Nanchen who fell into the hands of the Qi army was honored as the emperor.

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he immediately issued a document on the restoration of the emperor, calling on the forces of King Qin in all parts of Nanchen to gather troops and horses, and at the same time contacted the mountain tribes in the south to regather forces and prepare to counterattack the capital.

After Ni Yuan led the army into the city, he had been busy rectifying the affairs of the capital and pacifying the people, and he couldn't spare his hands for a while, and he couldn't go south. had no choice but to let Emperor Nan Chen Xin gather forces from all sides and fight hard.

The situation in the south is now at a stalemate.

I remember the last time Su Mi received a flying pigeon from Ge Chengming, saying that he was about to enter the court to meet the new emperor of Nanchendi. Conspiracy countermeasures, I don't know if things have become a thing. This time, Prince Cheng's sudden death also hit Ge Chengming hard. Had to stay in the south for a long time to deal with some business.

Su Mi looked at the date of the departure of the news again, calculated the days the two of them were on the road, and was thinking about it, but heard a loud shout outside.

Su Mi raised his head and looked at it from a distance through the open door. It was their neighbor Pei Shun who was returning from the mountain road.

Hearing his voice, the sister-in-law of the Pei family hurriedly greeted him. "Didn't you say that you were going to visit your sister and brother-in-law at night, why did you come back so soon?"

"Don't mention it, where is there a market, I went to the market in the morning, but I found that the market had long since dispersed. Pei Shun waved his hand and said dejectedly.

"Ah, why did you disperse?" Sister-in-law Pei asked in surprise.

"It's not all because of those barbarians in the capital. Now they are burning and looting everywhere, more fierce than the wild wolves in the mountains, where else would anyone dare to put things in the market? Pei Shun sighed and said, "Didn't you stay in the city and not come out?" Now it's good, robbing everywhere, so that our country markets don't dare to open. "He had taken his prey to the market at the bottom of the mountain to trade today, but he ran away in vain.

"Alas, these brutes. What a wickedness! Sister-in-law Pei couldn't help but say with hatred, and suddenly noticed that Pei Shundi was empty-handed, and couldn't help but change her face, and asked in horror: "What about the goods you brought?" Wasn't Mo also robbed? Didn't hurt anyone, did it? While holding her husband's hand, she looked up and down. When Pei Shun went out, he brought a lot of wild game and mountain delicacies to sell.

"I'm not hurt, don't worry. Pei Shun shook his head and said, "I saw that the market was dispersed, so I simply went directly to my sister's house." Who knows...... Alas, not to mention how miserable. ”

Su Mi remembered hearing Pei's sister-in-law mention that Pei Shun's sister married into a farming village near the capital, and lived a very prosperous life.

"What's wrong?! Isn't my sister's house robbed? Sister-in-law Pei asked nervously.

"Isn't it, the group of heaven-killing Liao troops have all been robbed, there is not a single grain left, and the family is so hungry that they can't open the pot. Fortunately, the seeds in the ground have already been planted, and they have already pulled out green shoots. Originally, my sister said that she would use these to satisfy her hunger first, but her brother-in-law was very stubborn. Death does not allow the family to touch these seedlings. ”

"Thankfully, I made it today. He left all the prey that he wanted to sell, and let them live for the time being. Two or three more nights. I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death. I heard that the nearby Zhuangzi had suffered. If you don't want to, you will kill someone when you pick up a knife. My brother-in-law killed more than a dozen people in their village, and more than a dozen lives! And everything has been robbed, how will I live in the future. I'm afraid that in the future...... Alas, it's better to kill with a knife. ”

"Didn't you say that those Liao troops stayed in the city and didn't come out? There are so many gold, silver and jewels in the city, why do you have to go to our countryside to rob them? Sister-in-law Pei said in horror: "His father, do you think you will grab us?" ”

"We are such a poor village, they can't look down on it......" Pei Shun's voice gradually faded away. The two have come a long way.

Su Mi heard these words in the house, and his heart couldn't help but darken, the Liao army began to act, which was also expected, the weather was cold a few days ago, and the march was inconvenient, and now the spring is blooming, it is the best time to loot and collect grain and grass.

The war in the south is not over, Ni Yuan did not turn his face with the Liao army, the line of Yongzhou must be smooth, if only the army's supply of grain and grass, the Liao army should not be lacking, but now it is going to loot everywhere, it seems that he wants to reserve more grain and grass as soon as possible, and prepare for changes in the situation in the future.

At the beginning, although the fire in the capital was clever, it not only harmed the people in the capital, but also the people in the surrounding countryside and mountain villages, and life was hard.

While thinking about it, there was a sound of "squeak" pushing the door, and Su Mi looked up and saw that it was Qi Hao back.

He was dressed in clean and simple coarse cloth clothes, and for the convenience of movement, his sleeves were rolled up, which was completely the dress of an ordinary hunter in the mountains, but he still couldn't hide his noble and elegant temperament, and he no longer wore a scribe's robe, and the heroism in the elegance was even more obvious, but he still carried two rabbit ears in his hand, but the two rabbits were not dead. Kicking your legs hard destroys the image a bit.

"What are you thinking?" Qi Hao carried the rabbit in his hand into the house and asked casually.

"I'm thinking...... It's no wonder that the little girls in the village like to walk past our door lately. Looking at Qi Hao's outstanding face, Su Mi was naughty in his heart and laughed.

"Don't the lads in the village like to pass by our door?" Qi Hao retorted jokingly.

Su Mi gave him an angry look.

"Nothing to do today, right?" Qi Hao asked, "You didn't look very good just now. ”

"Nothing. Su Mi said, while telling the news he had just heard from Pei Shun.

Qi Hao nodded and pondered for a moment, and said, "This is all inevitable. The Liao army must not be willing to give up the capital like this, and they don't know what kind of big war they will have in the future. At present, the grain and grass reserves in the capital are definitely not more than three months. This is still the result of looting the empty land of the rich families and nobles in the city. In my opinion, even if the roads in Yongzhou were kept unobstructed, with Ni Yuan's cunning and cunning, they would not be allowed to stock up enough grain and grass, and they could only plunder from the surrounding places. ”

Su Mi didn't ask him where such accurate news came from, although the two of them were in the mountains and wilderness these days, they were in constant contact with the outside world. Not only Su Mi, but Qi Hao also has hidden forces in the capital, so he naturally has his intelligence sources.

Su Mi took the little rabbit in his hand and asked, "Why did you catch these two little things back today?" ”

"I can't get anything else, so what can I do. Qi Hao sighed and said, "There are only these rabbits, and it's easier to do." Of course, Qi Hao hunted far more than that, but the rest of the prey, the two of them couldn't use it. Just give it to the people in the village.

Hearing Qi Hao's implicit "resentful" tone, Su Mi couldn't help but laugh "poof".

She remembered that when the two of them tried to make chicken for the first time, they got chicken feathers flying all over the sky, Su Mi was pecked by the chicken several times, and even Qi Hao, the top master, was hit hard, and finally asked Sister-in-law Pei next door to come over to help. I got the chicken done.

After that, Qi Hao no longer dared to fight any animal that needed to be plucked to be able to eat. The pheasants and pheasants in the mountains also escaped.

"I'll come today," Qi Hao smiled, "It's just baked and eaten." "He has some experience in hunting and barbecue, and a rabbit can still deal with it.

"Hmm. Su Mi nodded, turned around and went to the backyard to get vegetables and charcoal.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw another pigeon flying in.

She stepped forward, and the dove cooed twice meekly and softly, and let her pick it up.

Qi Hao, who was dealing with rabbits in the room, also heard the voice and raised his voice and asked, "Who's?" ”

Su Mi looked at the color of the strip of cloth on the pigeon's feet, and sure enough, it was silver-gray, so he smiled and said, "It's yours." ”

said. Took the pigeon into the house.

Qi Hao took it. He pulled out the letterhead and looked at it.

Both of them are currently using flying pigeons to contact the outside world, and the pigeons can't see their faces. The only way to distinguish is the color of the strip of cloth on the pigeon's feet.

Qi Hao's gaze swept quickly over the note, and when he saw it, he paused, and couldn't help but look up at Su Mi, but he immediately lowered his head, and his eyes flashed with a strange look, which was unfathomable.

Su Mi was a little surprised and asked, "What news?" "Could it be related to her?

Qi Hao smiled, "It's nothing, it's just those old news, and the Liao people have started a big search in the capital again." As he spoke, he crumpled the note in his hand with internal force.

Su Mi looked at the scraps of paper scattered on the ground, and didn't say anything, with her intuition, she knew that Qi Hao must have something to hide from her, although she also understood that the two of them had their own forces around them, even if they could completely trust each other, they would not expose all their family backgrounds and secrets, but there was still a depression rising in her heart.

"I'm going to get the food first. Su Mi smiled reluctantly, turned around and walked out of the house.

Qi Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull, and Qi Hao sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Su Mi's bowl.

Su Mi picked it up and took a sullen bite, the aromatic rabbit meat tasted soft and tender, and the roast was just right.

"How? My craft is much better than yours. Qi Hao said with a smile.

"It's okay. Su Mi said noncommittally. Qi Hao's words were a small stimulus for her, after a few months of rural life, her cooking skills were not even as good as the man in front of her, it was really depressing, it was obviously the same at the beginning, could it be that she was not good at these by nature?

"This dish has made progress. Qi Hao took two chopsticks and vegetables, chewed a few bites carefully, and a brisk smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hearing his words, Su Mi glared at him depressedly, reached out and put a chopstick into his mouth.

It's so salty!

But...... It's really a big improvement, at least, this time it's just a little salty, not like before......

Then he remembered that when he cooked rice for the first time, the corners of Su Mi's mouth couldn't help but rise upward, he was really wronged by the prince of Daqi eating such a thing.

"How does it feel to have me, the only prince of Daqi, cook for you now?" Qi Hao took another piece of roasted rabbit leg meat and sent it to Su Mi's bowl, and asked with a smile.

The only prince!? Sensing the meaning of his words, Su Mi was a little surprised.

"Not long ago, Prince Fu, who was hiding in the capital, was also searched and killed, and he was killed by the Liao army. In this way, the sons of the first emperor, and those who have been made princes, I am the only one left. Qi Hao said casually.

Su Mi couldn't help but be stunned for a while, more than a dozen princes and county kings of Daqi all lived in the capital, and this time they were all wiped out. Prince Fu is the seventh son of the first emperor, with mediocre qualifications, and he can be regarded as a rich prince. Thinking about it, he can be regarded as the younger brother of the person in front of him.

"Aren't you sad, they're all your relatives, aren't they?" Su Mi asked unconsciously.

"Why should I grieve for them?" Qi Hao looked at her funny, "When I was young, they only knew how to bully me, dislike me, and despise my bloodline, and I wanted to kill them all at that time." Our royal people, there has never been any sincere family affection at all, the palace is the most ruthless place in the world, only the weak eat the strong, where is the family and the family? ”

"Hmph, then there's no need to be so happy," Su Mi said with a bit of anger: "When they are all dead, it will be your turn to inherit the throne." ”

"That's not necessarily, I knew from a very young age that the nobles of Great Qi would not tolerate a light-eyed person sitting in that seat. Qi Hao said calmly.

Su Mi was silent for a while, Qi Hao's childhood must not have been very pleasant, he is a prince without the slightest background to be able to establish such a force at the moment, she can also imagine how difficult it will be.

"How long are we going to stay here?" Su Mi's mood softened, and she casually changed the topic and asked.

"Of course, it's time for the situation to change," Qi Hao smiled helplessly, "Now according to the power in our hands, we can't be a head-on enemy at all." Whether it is Ni Yuan or the Liao people, they are all lions with heavy troops, and compared with their two male lions, we are just hyenas looking for minced meat. I can only wait and see what happens, and wait for the opportunity to move. ”

“…… Mr. Ge, they will be back in a few days. Su Mi quietly said the news he had just gotten today.

"That's a good thing," Hearing the news, Qi Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and then smiled: "After all, what you get on paper is still too vague, listen to Mr. Ge personally talk about the current situation in the south, and we should plan as soon as possible." ”

"Well," Su Mi nodded, her mood inexplicably dull, perhaps because she understood that once Ge Chengming came here, their days of leisure and peace would be over.

Suddenly, I was a little afraid to count the days when the two of them arrived.
