35. Leave Beijing
"Brothers, it's okay." Ning Qiwei said happily to the sergeants who were still sorting out the scattered places. "You're really radiant, and you're going to be amazed everywhere." Lin Mo didn't know when he had stood in front of Ning Qiwei and said sourly. "What do you mean. Derogatory people don't take you like this. I've just been on the verge of life and death. Ning Qiwei said dissatisfiedly. Do you seem to be someone who is on the verge of life and death? "Why do you keep raising a bar with me?" "I like it." Lin Mo smiled lightly. "You... Too lazy to tell you. Ning Qiwei took advantage of the strength given by the grass to stand up and walked straight to the direction of the tent.
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! Several sergeants shouted loudly outside the tent. Ning Qiwei noticed that it was noon at this time, and her stomach was unconsciously "growling". "General, your meal is here." A soldier walked in with a bamboo basket. Liu Qingyin gently opened the corner of the table full of topographic maps for the army to put bamboo baskets. After the men put the baskets away, they went out of the camp.
"What's so delicious?" Ning Qiwei stepped forward and lifted the basket, there were three large coarse porcelain bowls in it, each bowl was full of white rice, but there was only a handful of mixed dishes on top of the rice, and this small handful of dishes actually contained five kinds of vegetables. Ning Qiwei took the chopsticks, jumped up the dishes in the bowl one by one, put them in her mouth, and chewed them carefully: "It's so salty!" "This is the case in the army, and over time, the soldiers also eat more and more salty. If you can't get used to it, you'll have the gang redo it for you. Liu Qingyin looked away from the book in his hand and said softly.
"No, I'm not that squeamish." Ning Qiwei said with a smile. "Really?" Ning Qiwei reached out to pick up the food in the basket, but was blocked by her other hand. Lin Mo grabbed the chopsticks in the basket with one hand and a bowl of rice with the other. "Wow, why is it so salty." Lin Mo opened his mouth and shouted. "General Liu, let's go outside and eat with the soldiers, it's lively." After Ning Qiwei finished eating, she picked up a bowl of rice in the basket, turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Brothers, give me a seat. It's more lively to eat with you. Ning Qiwei said with a smile. I'm here...", "I'm here...", "I've got it here...", several soldiers waved enthusiastically. Ning Qiwei picked the nearest one and sat down.
The dark night sky turns a deep inky blue against the snow. The lights of the barracks shone on the ground, and the night became exceptionally soft. Ning Qiwei curled up in front of the charcoal brazier with a quilt, and she rubbed her hands to bake the fire. Ning Qiwei stared at the burning charcoal fire and was thinking about something. With a snap, the sound of the charcoal fire burning brought her back to her senses.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Liu Qingyin walked in with a quilt in one hand and a basket in the other. "It's cold, isn't it?" Liu Qingyin put the quilt in his hand on the couch beside Ning Qiwei and said gently. Ning Qiwei pulled the quilt around her body, rubbed her hands, and said, "Yes! Colder than the palace. Liu Qingyin walked to the charcoal brazier, he picked up the charcoal in the basket and added it to the charcoal brazier: "You left here, will you regret it?" ”
Ning Qiwei gently flicked the bangs hanging down in front of her forehead, and said softly: "Even if you choose to leave, you won't have any regrets." Liu Qingyin stopped what he was doing, looked up at Ning Qiwei, then lowered his head, and started the movement in his hand again: "The army will leave the capital tomorrow, I want to ask if you would like to accompany you." ”
Ning Qiwei crossed her hands, she tightened the quilt, pursed her lips lightly, and her voice trembled a little due to mood fluctuations: "Okay, let's set off together tomorrow." Liu Qingyin raised his head and saw Ning Qiwei, who was a little depressed, and he said softly: "Is it warmer now?" "Well, it's much better." The corners of Ning Qiwei's mouth lifted lightly and smiled sweetly. Liu Qingyin stared at Ning Qiwei, who was smiling, a little distracted.
"General Liu, what are you thinking?" Ning Qiwei was still smiling. "Oh, nothing." Liu Qingyin retracted his gaze and lowered his head in disdain. Ning Qiwei felt that the air around her had become not very smooth, Ning Qiwei smiled faintly and said, "General Liu, it's cold outside, you go and rest earlier." "Oh, good. Call me if there's anything. I'm in the camp next door. Rest early. I'm leaving. Liu Qingyin said in a harmonious voice. Good. Ning Qiwei said with a slight smile.
After Liu Qingyin left, Ning Qiwei was in a daze at the dancing flames in the charcoal brazier. Tomorrow, tomorrow I have to leave here. After that, I wandered the world. The queen mother, Yufan, Caiyun, and the palace where I have lived for seventeen years. I really don't want to give up! What will happen to Ning Rong after I'm gone? Will she choose the life she deserves? Prime Minister, Uncle Huang and Liang Rui They should support Yufan to ascend to the throne. There will be a new beginning in their lives.
Ning Qiwei sighed lightly, and she casually pulled the long brocade robe hanging on the chair next to her. With a "shell", a flute grazed the charcoal brazier and fell to the ground under the chair where Ning Qiwei was sitting. Ning Qiwei bent down, she tried to reach the flute, but the fluffy quilt hindered her. Ning Qiwei simply stretched out the quilt, bent down again, and picked up the flute on the ground.
Ning Qiwei turned the flute, she felt that such a thing was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where it came from. A puppet hanging from the flute caught Ning Qiwei's attention. Hehe, isn't this carved in my image! Oh, remember! This was a gift from Liang Rui on my sixteenth birthday. Ning Qiwei teased the puppet and smiled sweetly.
Ning Qiwei thought of something, and the smile on the corner of her mouth condensed: Liang Rui, so what? We won't have anything to do with it anymore. I will be a prodigal son at the end of the world, and he is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army of the Ningfu Kingdom. That's actually a pretty good arrangement. Ning Qiwei wrapped the loose quilt and couldn't help yawning.
"Get up! Get up! They're all gone! You're still in bed. A wicked laugh echoed in Ning Qiwei's ears. Ning Qiwei suddenly opened her eyes and got up: "What, they set off." Why did you wake me up now? Ning Qiwei looked at Lin Mo, who was half-squatting in front of the couch and smiling slightly, only to know that she had been fooled. You... How dare you lie to me. You remember me, Si, I'm cold. Ning Qiwei hurriedly pulled the quilt she lifted.
"Hurry up. Otherwise, we're going to go. When the time comes, you will be left alone, and you will not cry. Lin Mo said with a smile. You're going to cry your nose. He always loves to belittle me. Hum! As soon as Ning Qiwei opened her eyes, she saw this "astronaut", and her heart suddenly became angry. "Hurry up and get dressed and look at your appearance." Lin Mo got up and walked outside the military tent and said with a chuckle. Well, I was sleeping just now, and now, my hair is disheveled, and my clothes are disheveled. Ning Qiwei couldn't help but stick out her tongue and smiled.
Hundreds of horses walked the tree-lined paths, followed by 2,000 elite soldiers. The sound of horses' hooves, the footsteps of the sergeants, and the clattering of the armor resounded throughout the field. Ning Qiwei sat on a slowly walking white horse, and her sleepiness grew. "Hah!" Ning Qiwei opened her mouth, her eyelids were about to close.
"Wait for me! I'm going to Gangnam too. Ning Qiwei was in a daze when she heard Ling Yun's shout. Ning Qiwei woke up suddenly, she looked around and didn't see Ling Yun's figure. "Wait for me. Ning Qiwei heard Ling Yun's voice coming from behind. Ning Qiwei turned her head quickly, and she saw Ling Yun riding a brown horse, galloping among the sergeants, as if in a no-man's land.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun had arrived in front of Ning Qiwei. "Good! You ran away by yourself and left me in the palace. As soon as Ling Yun saw Ning Qiwei, he complained endlessly. Everything is good in the palace! It's not good to keep it. Ning Qiwei said with a smile. That's great! Or you go back with me. Ling Yun said narrowly. Okay, you take me. I'm not going to take you there. Ning Qiwei said deliberately angrily, but couldn't help laughing.
Ning Qiwei and Ling Yun rode side by side, talking and laughing, so happy. "I don't know if I should tell you something." Ling Yun suddenly smiled. "What's the matter?" Ning Qiwei asked with a smile. "Commander Liang learned from the queen mother last night that you had left the capital, and he chased him for more than a hundred miles like crazy, and he didn't return to the city until today's fifth watch." Ling Yun said lightly. The smile on the corner of Ning Qiwei's mouth disappeared, she lowered her head, picked up the fruit in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed slowly: "Ling Yun, did you tell him my whereabouts?" ”
"How can I! You're all quietly leaving. The Queen Mother is still in the dark. Ling Yun smiled. The queen mother doesn't know yet, and that's good! Let her worry less. Ning Qiwei breathed a sigh of relief. They are all good. Besides, I know what will happen to them in the future. I left a few tips for the queen. If necessary, open the corresponding tips, and you can turn evil into good fortune. Ling Yun smiled.
Ning Qiwei smiled easily, she patted Ling Yun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, in the future, we will ride the world and be at ease." "Okay, but I'm hungry now. You have to give me some of the things you have in your hand, so that I can have the strength to ride the world with you. Ling Yun reached out to take what Ning Qiwei was holding. I just won't give it to you. Ning Qiwei smiled and dodged. Ling Yun rushed over to grab it, and Ning Qiwei tried her best to dodge. The two of you fight for me, and they make a mess.
The tender teeth of the grass were faintly visible on the roadside, the thin ice and snow began to melt, and the crisp sound of the stream could be faintly heard. "We'll be in Changzhou for half a day." Liu Qingyin patted the horse to Ning Qiwei's side. Ning Qiwei brushed aside the bangs that hung down to the corners of her eyes, and said in surprise: "Changzhou, the comb grate there is famous all over the world!" Liu Qingyin said with a smile: "Most of the grates are loved by the girl's family, so you also love them." ”
