Volume 2 The Second Drum Watch: The Spring of the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and the Moon are Strong Chapter 138 Only You Can't Bear It (I)
???????โ That's it. Tomorrow at noon, you must wait for my tea cake. Xiao Tao grinned happily, stretched out her hand, and hooked Zhao Kuangyi's hand. The hook hangs up, and it will not change for a hundred years. โ
Zhao Kuangyi indifferently followed Xiao Tao's movements and wrapped his fingers around her. The heart is soft and sour. He didn't know what to be in the mood. If it weren't for Xiao Tao's madness, he and she might not have this quiet time under the candle? But he would rather not have this illusory charm, and he didn't want Xiao Tao to be like this.
Xiao Tao had enough of laughing and playing, and soon fell asleep with Zhao Kuangyi's white robe. Now Xiao Tao's life is simple, eating and sleeping. There is no more tangled thoughts, sympathetic concerns.
After Zhao Kuangyi put out the oil lamp at the head of Xiao Tao's bed, he walked to his bed, and before he could sit down, there was a sudden announcement from the guards outside: "My lord, there is an urgent order." โ
The military orders in the barracks in the middle of the night are generally important matters, and Zhao Kuangyi did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly took off his robe and went out. The guard took an urgent letter and handed it to Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi hurriedly opened the letter by the light of the lamp at the door. The letter was sent by Zhao Kuangyin in the afternoon. Now Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi brothers have launched a platoon around Yingluan Town.
Zhao Kuangyin was in the area of Dongpeizhou, discussing the alliance with Wu Yue, and pinching the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty from the southeast. And Zhao Kuangyi guarded the northwest of Yingluan Town to prevent the army of Jinling of the Tang Dynasty from being sent to Luzhou in the northwest. Converged into one place and invaded from the Hongzhou area.
In the previous battle of Dongpeizhou, Zhao Kuangyin gathered all the elite forces of the Great Zhou and wiped out Qi Zhengxiu. It's just that I thought that the elite of the Tang Dynasty had been destroyed, but suddenly a small force took advantage of its unpreparedness to sneak attack the Zhou army and burned the grain and grass of the Zhou army. Zhao Kuangyin heard that Zhao Kuangyi had robbed the Tang army's grain and grass here, and hurriedly sent a letter to Zhao Kuangyi to send some grain and grass to the military camp in Dongpeizhou.
It also takes half a day to travel from the northwest of Yingluan Town to the fast horse of Dongpeizhou, and Zhao Kuangyi originally wanted to send Vice General Chen and others over. But Zhao Kuangyin asked him to go over in person, and Zhao Kuangyi thought that meeting with Zhao Kuangyin should discuss some important military matters, so he decided to follow Zhao Kuangyin's request and personally escort the grain and grass over.
Zhao Kuangyi did not hesitate, changed into a battle robe, and immediately went out of the camp tent to order 3,000 elite soldiers, escorted the looted grain and grass, and rushed to Dongpeizhou.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Vice General Sun: "No matter what, I must protect Miss Peach, and I will come back as soon as possible." โ
Vice General Sun hurriedly clenched his fists and promised: "Your subordinates will do their best." โ
Zhao Kuangyi did not hesitate any longer, and took advantage of the night to rush to the southeast with elite soldiers carrying grain and grass.
Little Peach had a good night's sleep. When I woke up in the morning, the sound of military training was already heard outside the camp tent. Everything is no different than ever. Xiao Tao stretched comfortably, and when she woke up on weekdays, it was often Zhao Kuangyi who had gone out to train the army, so Xiao Tao was also used to it.
A subordinate came in to serve Xiao Tao after freshening up, and Xiao Tao suddenly remembered that he promised to make tea cakes for Zhao Kuangyi last night, "Ah, the one that has to be done quickly, it's very troublesome." Xiao Tao didn't care that the people were combing her hair, so she jumped up and rushed out of the tent. Only the stunned person holding the comb was left, and only patted his chest: "Fortunately, the comb is not a hairpin, otherwise it is difficult to say if you are stabbed." โ
Xiao Tao's hair was combed in a bun, and the other was combed halfway, and she rushed out like that. The soldiers in the barracks were used to seeing her now, and they didn't dare to talk about it in private, not even to take a second look, in case they were caught by the Jiedu envoy, and they didn't know whether to kick or shoot two arrows.
Xiao Tao ran to the kitchen of the barracks, and as soon as she entered the door, she looked everywhere: "Where is the glutinous rice noodles?" What about tea? Help me find out, I want to make tea cakes for Qi Gongzi. Excuse me, hurry up! โ
The people in the kitchen also knew the weight of the small peach, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly took out the glutinous rice flour and tea leaves. Xiao Tao walked to the stove by herself, found a basin casually, put the glutinous rice flour in it and mixed it with boiling water.
Today's little peach, but the ability to make tea cakes is not as good as before, such as many steps have been forgotten by her. It's either too thin or too hard, and the tea can't be steamed out of green soup, Xiao Tao was so anxious that she walked straight back and forth, and her face was also white with glutinous rice flour: "What can I do?" Qi Gongzi came back at noon, why can't he do it well? What can I do? The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, the more manic I became, my head started to hurt again, Xiao Tao simply covered her head and squatted on the side of the stove, muttering to herself, what to do, what to doยงยงยงยง
The people in the kitchen knew that the little peach was wrong, and they made a look at each other, one walked over and quickly reconciled the glutinous rice flour, and the other hurriedly steamed the tea leaves, and forgot to put the alkali when the small peach was steamed, and the kitchen people helped her with the alkali, and soon the green and moist tea soup came out, and the tea soup was mixed into the glutinous rice flour, and it became a green glutinous rice cake after a while, and then put it in the cage and steamed it was the tea cake.
The cook pushed the little peach and whispered, "Girl, your tea cake is ready, look." It's beautiful. โ
Xiao Tao was still squatting by the stove and pulling her hair, and when she heard the cook say this, she hurriedly stood up, hey, why is the glutinous rice noodles that were still sparse just now so good-looking? Xiao Tao asked curiously, "Did I get it?" โ
The cook hurriedly said, "That's right, girl, you got it, you got it and put it here for a long time." Hurry up and steam it. โ
Xiao Tao turned into a smile at this time, rubbed her hands on the placket happily and smiled: "Okay, good." I said, well, I can make tea cakes, and it's well done. After speaking, he kneaded the glutinous rice into small balls and put them in the steamer, and after a while, a basket of green tea cakes came out.
Xiao Tao went out with the hot tea cake in her hand, and walked towards Zhao Kuangyi's tent as if she was holding the most precious thing, her eyes were full of expectations, and when Qi Gongzi came back, she would definitely feel delicious.
I don't know how long I waited, the sun gradually rose to the highest, and began to go westward again, Xiao Tao waited for sleepiness, slept back and forth several times, and didn't see Zhao Kuangyi come back, I couldn't help but be a little anxious, and ran outside the camp tent several times without seeing it, so I was even more anxious.
Suddenly, I saw Vice General Sun passing in front of the camp, Xiao Tao saw Vice General Sun these days, and she was not afraid, so she went up directly and pulled Vice General Sun's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Where is Gongzi Qi?" Tell me, where is he? โ
Vice General Sun naturally knew that what she said about Gongzi Qi meant Lord Zhao, and it was not easy to poke it, so he was a little embarrassed by Xiao Tao's sleeve, so he hurriedly pulled Xiao Tao's hand down, and said casually: "My lord has military affairs, so I'm out." โ
"Get out?" Xiao Tao was stunned, "When did you leave?" โ
"I left last night." Vice Admiral Sun replied.
Xiao Tao asked again: "When will you come back?" โ
Vice General Sun shook his head, and the adults only said to come back as soon as possible, but they didn't know when they would come back.
Xiao Tao's eyebrows sank, and the floodgates of memory surged over, and she still remembered that Qi Gongzi also smiled and said to her that there would be a reward for guessing the riddle. But when she guessed the riddle and went to him, he left without saying a word.
Now it's like this again, I agreed to eat her tea cake, but I still turned around and left, without saying a word, without saying a word, without saying hello, and leaving without a trace. Xiao Tao's heart was itching like 10,000 ants crawling over, and she began to be anxious and crazy again, and she didn't talk to Vice General Sun anymore, she turned around and hurriedly walked back and forth around the camp, "Qi Gongzi is not coming back, he is not coming back" The voice was full of despair.
Zhao Kuangyi rushed to Dongpeizhou at dawn, put down the grain and grass, and went into the camp to see Zhao Kuangyin. There were only two of his brothers in the tent, and Zhao Kuangyi was not polite, sat by the window and sipped tea, and asked, "What is the second brother looking for me?" But what's important in the army? โ
Zhao Kuangyin also took a cup of tea, walked to Zhao Kuangyi and sat down, paused, looked at him meaningfully and said: "This matter, it is important to say that it is important, it is not important to say that it is not important, it is not important." "Throw yourself around.
Zhao Kuangyi frowned, he didn't know what dumb riddle Zhao Kuangyin played, his heart sank, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Second brother might as well have something to say." โ
Zhao Kuangyin repeated the words again and again before he said slowly to Zhao Kuangyi: "Your Majesty knows about taking in a camp prostitute." โ
"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyi's eyebrows raised, "So what?" โ
Seeing that Zhao Kuangyi's face was not a trace of panic, Zhao Kuangyin knew that his younger brother had made up his mind again, so he had to open the skylight and say something bright: "I know who that camp prostitute is." But the problem is, His Majesty doesn't know where to hear it, and it knows. Last night, he came to me and told me to remember to settle you down, and not to miss state affairs. Although it is not explicitly stated, do you still need to guess what this means? After all, Xue Chan is the queen's own sister, and that girl is a Tang dynasty or a camp prostitute, you are a dignified festival envoy, but the war is imminent, but the camp prostitute of the enemy country is Qing Qing and me, what does Your Majesty think of you? โ
Zhao Kuangyi slowly took another sip of tea, stared at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "What does Your Majesty think of me, what does it matter?" โ
"Fart!" Zhao Kuangyin originally thought that he was talking to Zhao Kuangyi, but he was still angered by his indifferent appearance, "Your career and future are all in the thoughts of Your Majesty, do you say it matters?" How did you become so stubborn now? โ
Zhao Kuangyi sneered and said, "Stubborn? It's time to fight and bleed and rush into the enemy's camp, have I frowned? Meritorious deeds are made by risking their lives, not by women climbing up. I won't let go of the people I want. He turned to look at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "If there is nothing else, I will go first." So saying, he got up and walked out of the tent.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect Zhao Kuangyi to be so decisive, and he was stunned for a while, and it took a while to come back to his senses and slam the table hard: "Bastard!" โ
Xiao Tao nested on the bed of the camp tent, her eyes were swollen into peaches, and Qi Gongzi left without saying a word, fear, despair, like a tide, annihilated her heart again. The sun turned west again, and Xiao Tao sniffed, and tears flowed out again.
was bowing her head and crying, when suddenly a white shirt stopped in front of her, and her voice was deep: "What's wrong?" โ??????
