Chapter 160: Resistance

After dealing with the funeral of the guards who died in battle, Zheng Qingluan suddenly realized that this year's New Year was over.

In the past two days, the snow was heavy, and Zheng Qingluan did not go to the barracks, but hid in the Shuaifu to recuperate. Now the Xiao family army admires this little master from the bottom of their hearts. To be able to lead everyone to win the battle is the ability to achieve such a big victory at a small cost, which is an amazing ability. How can there be anyone in the world who spares his life? If the tactics on the battlefield are used well, there will be no need for everyone to make greater sacrifices. As for the life and death of the enemy, hehe, it is your life and death. Such a general will make the other party tremble, but he is most loved and admired by his own soldiers.

During Zheng Qingluan's aid to Ping'an Prefecture, there was really an abnormality in the Tartars. The two armies faced each other for two days, and the other side retreated. On the one hand, because the original deployment of the Xiao Jiajun was not disrupted, the Tartars found that there was no chance to take advantage of it. On the other hand, Zheng Qingluan's speed of annihilating Beihu was so fast that everyone didn't have time to react. Before the Tartars could start the battle, the opportunity to think they were an opportunity was fleeting. The only way to strike is to strike the army.

After Li Zhiqian and other generals in the army, they also sincerely treated Zheng Qingluan as the commander of the first army.

Zheng Qingluan secretly sighed at such a change, and thought in his heart that soldiers can really only establish their status on the battlefield.

The room is warm like spring, and a few red plums are inserted in a vase of sweet and white porcelain, which has a bit of a dark fragrance floating meaning. Zheng Qingluan was dressed in a coat, leaning on the kang, holding a book in his hand, and looked at it for a while. A green silk fell on the pillow, lining the face white, showing a little weakness.

Baiyi grinned and showed Zheng Qingluan the newly embroidered jacket, the goose yellow jacket and the rose red skirt were beautiful and delicate. But it doesn't fit the mood of today.

Zheng Qingluan looked up and down, "The craftsmanship is so good, it must fit, you don't have to try it." Bother her to make a few darker ones, and don't want any patterns. Plain is fine. ”

"Master?" Baiyi was a little puzzled.

"Relatives or sorrows, others have also sung" Zheng Qingluan put down the scroll in his hand, "I originally planned to be vegetarian for three months." But the border city really doesn't have the conditions for vegetarianism. However, you can still get it in plain clothes. ”

After being stunned, my heart was inevitably sour and soft. The elder has never avoided the young, and the respect has not avoided the lowly, and the master can do this for the dead, which is really commendable.

Therefore, Baiyi went out to explain Baier, and asked Mei Xiang to prepare the meal as light as possible. It didn't take long, seven seven and forty-nine days of vegetarian food, and the Shuai Mansion could still make up it.

Zheng Qingluan's dinner today is dumplings filled with sauerkraut vermicelli.

Qiao Xuan explained on the side, "This sauerkraut was brought by Aunt Wu." It's not like what we're used to eat. Due to the short autumn days in the border city, the cabbage did not grow at all, and it was all large leaves. It may not taste as good as what you're used to. ”

"How big can the difference be?" Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "I'm not a particular person. It's good to be able to eat this bite. In previous years, at home, I also put sauerkraut until the end of the New Year. In February and March, there are no vegetables to fill the stomach. Nothing more than sauerkraut, pickles, pickles. What is there to pay attention to. In this city, I'm afraid that only Aunt Wu can take out two jars of this thing. ”

"Isn't it?" Qiao Shuan said with a smile, "I heard that the dried vegetables in the shop are now the price of two catties of mutton, before I came to the border city, where did I think that it would be so difficult to eat." ”

"It'll be fine next year. Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "When my family has land, the family will plant three or two acres of vegetables, and the ones that can't be eaten will be dried and dried in winter." ”

Zheng Qingluan ate twenty or thirty before putting down his chopsticks. "Eat it too. The taste is not bad. ”

A few of them responded with a smile. It was a good idea to take out the box with candied fruits and put it in Zheng Qingluan's hand, "It's okay to chew two, otherwise there will be no taste in your mouth." ”

Zheng Qingluan smiled. Qiaosu always cultivates some of her little girl's hobbies, intentionally or unintentionally. She accepted the kindness as well. He took the dates and put them in his mouth. Qiaoji smiled contentedly and went to eat.

The wind is more violent at night than during the day.

Zheng Qingluan also couldn't sleep for a long time. The big battlefield in the era of cold weapons, this is the first time she has seen it in her two lives. It is impossible to psychologically not have a shock. To say that she was really upset to burn those 20,000 people to death, that would not be true. Ci is not in charge of the army, she has always kept this in mind. What really makes her sleepless is actually the pressure from her heart. In this era of cold weapons, not only is it cruel to the enemy, but it is not cruel to the Xiao Jiajun? If one is not careful, tens of thousands of people will pay the price of their lives. And this price is really unbearable for her.

The wind swept the snowflakes against the window lattice, and the outside Baiji and Xiushang were already asleep, and there was the sound of long breathing. She rolled over, suppressed the thousand thoughts in her heart, and sank into her dream. In the dream, on the endless sea, there was a huge ship, and the people on the bow of the ship were fluttering, which one was not Xiao Yunfeng?

At this time, the person who was in Qiongzhou, standing at the bow of the boat facing the night breeze, looked a little embarrassed, how could there be Zheng Qingluan's clothes fluttering in his dream.

"Master" Xiao Da stepped forward quickly and sent the cloak to Xiao Yunfeng, "It's windy at night, go back to the cabin." ”

"It's okay" Xiao Yunfeng had a relaxed smile on his face, "These pirates' nests have been lifted by us, and they can't become a climate for the time being." A lot of them were captured, and they also trained their troops by the way, and they have been floating on the sea for a few months, and they have not gained nothing. I just don't know what happened to the border city now?"

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Xiao Da pondered, "The border city is too far away, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip." Fortunately, the sailor has been floating on the sea for the past few months and has fully adapted to it. I was able to fight from a distance, too. The master's plan should be ready to go right away. ”

Xiao Yunfeng nodded, "This time I brought people to the sea, and the supplies we gave were insufficient. It is to develop their ability to survive at sea. Luckily, it didn't disappoint me. Now if these people are thrown on ships, they will not have a problem surviving at sea for a month or two. ”

"But the seafood is also enough to eat. I really don't want to live a second time without water to drink. Xiao complained loudly.

Xiao Yunfeng laughed twice, "Do you think I'm willing, I'd rather go to the grassland to herd sheep and horses than float on the sea to fish." People still have to be down-to-earth to live a down-to-earth life. ”

"This year's year has been spent on the ship. Xiao Da said dissatisfiedly, "Go back and give these monkey cubs two days off." ”

"Cheng," Xiao Yunfeng looked at the coastline in front of him, "I also happened to rest for two days." By the way, look at the news from all sides. When I got home, I first found the news of the border city, and I was not sure. ”

In Xiao Mansion in Qiongzhou, after Xiao Yunfeng washed, he poured two pots of tea and ate four steamed buns before he felt that he had come back to life.

Xiao Da saw that his master's expression was comfortable, so he handed the sorted out news to Xiao Yunfeng with a strange face. Then he asked in a low voice, "Master, I haven't had time to freshen up yet, or you can watch first, and I'll come back later." ”

Xiao Yunfeng glanced at Xiao Da, there must be some bad news. Otherwise, this kid wouldn't be so active in avoiding himself. Seeing what he said, it was indeed pitiful, and the smell of the sea on his body could make people faint. He waved his hand, and Xiao Da rushed out with a brisk step, and disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Yunfeng's face sank in an instant, he was able to hide so simply, it seemed that something was wrong.

He flipped through them one by one, and the more he looked, the darker his face became. Suppress the bandits and burn Beihu, hehe, Zheng Qingluan, you are brave enough

Xiao Yunfeng gritted his teeth for a while, admittedly, Zheng Qingluan's approach was not wrong, not only was it right, but it was also too risky to do it beautifully. Completely put your own life and death out of the way. Why didn't she understand that the Xiao family couldn't afford her to have an accident

He wandered around the room irritably, and it seemed that he had to finish his errand to the south. This girl can't let it go any longer

Thinking of the Zhenbei Army, the Wu family, Concubine Ning, the three princes, and the emperor, his eyes were full of chills. If you want to calculate Xiao Jiajun, this method is too dirty and has no lower limit.

This shameless face made Xiao Yunfeng feel disgusted. He once again doubted whether such a royal family and such a court were worthy of his loyalty.

Breaking his fingers, he lined up the princes one by one, and he really couldn't find a person who looked like a Ming Jun.

Could it be that the Xiao family is going to go on like this forever? Xiao Yunfeng fell into deep thought.

The eldest princess of Jiangyang has not been able to return to Xishan, in her other courtyard. was left in the palace by the emperor on the grounds of cold weather.

Chaohua Palace is the palace where she lived as a child. It's been kept for her.

At one time, she was the pearl of an entire dynasty.

But this honor, this identity, also brought her endless pain.

The honorific title given by the emperor is more like a cage for her. Firmly bound within the walls of this palace, she once again became a trade object sacrificed for imperial power.

She played with the sharp hairpin in her hand, and often wondered if she could untie the rope tied to her son if she cut her throat like this?

No, you can't

But she still has to do something to let this emperor's brother know that his calculations must be cooperated by someone.

The sharp hairpin slashed across the wrist, and the blood dripped down little by little. The apricot-yellow curtain of grace, soaked in blood, reveals a bit of irony.

The eldest princess of Jiangyang watched the loss of blood little by little, and the corners of her mouth pulled into a cold smile. It wasn't until his consciousness was slowly blurred that he threw the hairpin in his hand vigorously and woke up the palace people on duty at night.

She can't die yet, she has to live

But she is not at the mercy of others

The palace man held the palace lamp in his hand, gently approached the bed tent, and waited until he saw the bloody wrist before he let out a shrill and frightened cry.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of the eldest princess's mouth, and she fainted with confidence in the screams of the palace people.

Brother Huang, sister is looking forward to your performance

Before the eldest princess fell into a coma, she thought
