Chapter 51: A detour into the city
The Beiyi grain and grass camp was on fire for a time, and the army was in chaos.
The spring breeze blew, the fire became more intense, and the Beiyi army had no way to start if they wanted to put out the fire, so they could only watch a large number of grain and grass being burned.
Fearing that the Beiyi army would find out their whereabouts, Jiang Luo suggested giving up the horses, and the group crossed the mountains on foot, went around to Yangzhou, and then took a boat to Anzhou first.
Chu Mubei completely agreed with the idea, and everyone let go of the horses, changed into the cloth clothes of the people, bypassed the desert meadow, and arrived at the foot of Fuyu Mountain.
The crowd ran for five days before crossing Fuyu Mountain and arriving in Yangzhou.
Chu Mubei revealed his identity, and the officials of Yangzhou sent ships to send them along the north of the river and rushed to Anzhou.
At this moment, they knew that Beiyi's grain and grass were burned, the army's heart was in chaos, and after the withdrawal of the troops, Jiang Cheng led the soldiers in the city to kill, and the Beiyi army was in chaos, running and trampling, and Beiyi suffered countless casualties.
In desperation, he had to abandon the surrounding towns and retreat to Xuancheng. Beiyi's vitality was greatly damaged, and within five years, he was unable to make a comeback.
The river is long, and five long boats are sailing on the water.
The willows on both sides of the river are still around, and the bright sun is sprinkled on the water, sparkling.
Jiang Luo has seen such a vast river for the first time since she arrived here, she sat on the deck, looked at the scenery in the distance, listened to the sound of water lapping on the embankment in her ears, and her heart was extremely peaceful.
Sister~It's the first time I've seen such a spectacular river~
Jiang Luo lost her mind slightly, she heard Jiang Ran's voice in her ears in a trance, and only when she came back to her senses did she realize that it was an illusion.
She couldn't help laughing at herself for being stupid, how could Xiao Niang and Jiang Ran appear here. After the elder brother and Berning have cleaned up the mess in Liangcheng, they should send people around to look for them.
In the cabin, Chu Mubei changed into a plain robe, held his hair, and the jasper hairpin on his head shone in the sun, which was unspeakably expensive.
He is like a noble son who came out of the scroll, wearing armor is Ling Ling's killing intent, mighty and extraordinary, changing into regular clothes, and having a little more bookish atmosphere, elegant and noble.
Presumably, a character like him is the Confucian general depicted in the history books, elegant and decisive.
He held the teacup against the light and looked at the woman sitting on the deck. Liao Sheng, who joined the army, stood aside, and Han Yang repeatedly told him to pay close attention to this woman's actions before leaving.
He was also full of hostility towards her at first, but since he burned Beiyi's grain and grass, and easily escaped from the Beiyi army's heavy encirclement, he suddenly changed his opinion of her.
"General, this girl is really a fairy character, if there is no her this time, the people of Liangcheng will be miserable." Liao Sheng admired it so much.
Chu Mubei fiddled with the tea cup in his hand, he couldn't see through Jiang Luo's thoughts, and he didn't even know her name after all these days of getting along.
The sergeants all called her a little girl, but she didn't explain, she always had crooked eyebrows and smiling, as if there was nothing in the world that bothered her.
"He's a very smart guy." Chu Mubei praised quite sincerely, he cherished words like gold, and the words of praise really rarely came out of his mouth.
Liao Sheng smiled mysteriously and teased boldly, "My subordinates heard from Vice General Han that there was a little girl named Jiang Luo, and I heard that she was smart when she was a teenager, and she was still your life-saving benefactor." ”
Chu Mubei is undeniable.
He added, "I don't know who is better than that Miss Jiang Luo and this little girl?" ”
Chu Mubei swept his eyes over, and he scratched his head with a sneer, "The subordinates are joking, joking." ”
"Naturally, Miss Jiang is smarter." Chumu North Road.
If someone else said this, Liao Sheng would naturally refuse to believe it, after all, who would be smarter than the mysterious little girl in front of him. However, since it was General Chu himself, he was very convinced, and even looked forward to arriving in Liangcheng as soon as possible to meet the Miss Jiang family that General Chu often mentioned.
Chu Mubei picked up a clean teacup, poured a cup of tea, and walked towards the bow of the boat with his slender slightly calloused hand holding the teacup.
Jiang Luo's gentle eyes just bumped into his eyes, the soft black hair was like a waterfall, and when she wasn't smiling, her eyebrows were always cold, but most of the time she always smiled, smiling, smiling, smiling...... The eyes are faintly detached, and the body exudes an outstanding temperament.
"Drink water." Chu Mubei handed her the tea in her hand, she thanked her softly and took it.
"You don't have any drugs in this tea, do you?" She asked.
Chu Mubei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was joking, so she replied without changing her face, "Let it go." ”
The corners of Jiang Luo's mouth raised a smile, and she squinted slightly at the sun in the distance, the weather was fine, and there was such a handsome man enjoying the beautiful scenery with her.
She took a small sip, the tea soup was slightly bitter, and it was sweet after entering the mouth. She doesn't like it, she still likes flower tea, and after drinking the fragrant flower tea for a long time, the aroma that seems to be there is nothing on her body.
"How do you know the topographic map of Beiyi?"
"It's a secret." She wouldn't say.
Chu Mubei sat down not far from her, and the sun shone on them, enveloping them with a faint light.
"I've always heard you mention Jiang Cheng and Jiang Taishou these days, what is your relationship with the Jiang family?" Chu Mubei asked.
She thought for a moment, "Self is the closest person. ”
"The general came thousands of miles away to support Liangcheng, is it because of the old man?" She asked curiously, her eyes sparkling brightly.
He nodded, "Well, six years ago, the third lady of the Jiang family saved me, and the Jiang family also saved my sister, the benefactor is in trouble, how can I not come to the rescue." ”
Jiang Luo's heart softened for no reason, she put down the tea cup in her hand, and was speechless for a while.
Chu Mubei prides himself on being smart, but he couldn't imagine that the girl with yellow messy hair like a bean sprout six years ago would grow into such a slim appearance in front of him.
"Third Miss, how are she lately?" He wanted to ask Miss Jiang San if she was married, what kind of person her husband looked like, and now she is still living a happy life? When the words came to his mouth, he only asked the word "good".
Jiang Luo said frankly, "It's good, she farms in Jiangjia Village under the rule of Liangcheng, and her life is very comfortable." ”
"If it weren't for this Beiyi invasion, Jiang Taishou would have to serve the country, and they would still be living a life of poetry and wine."
Chu Mubei listened to her words, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile. Poetry and wine are idyllic, but they are like the heart of that little girl.
The night is as cold as water, and he always remembers it vividly.
"What about the general? How have the last few years been? She asked casually, and as soon as the words came out, she felt a little inappropriate, and made up for it, "I asked for the third lady, if she knew that I had seen you, if she asked about you, I should also know how to answer." ”
"I'm fine."
Obviously, as soon as this question was mentioned, the tired look on Chu Mubei's face became more and more obvious. In the past few years, she has also heard about the unpeaceful things in Qinzhou, and the turmoil in Beiling has only subsided in recent times.
She ...... Asked me? Chu Mubei pursed his lips and raised the hand at his side.
Jiang Luo said as a matter of course, "Yes, she always said that she had never seen such a good-looking person as you." ”
