Chapter 3: Gu Liwu disappears

Thinking about it, since Gu Liwu came to Ye Mansion, Ye Sili has never been separated from him, and the farthest distance is only the distance between Yusheng Courtyard and Yulan Courtyard, plus Ye Zhongyao has also been semi-hidden in the court for so many years, and he has accompanied her wholeheartedly. Not to mention Mu Jiufeng, from childhood to adulthood, in addition to following Ning Anhou out a few times, whenever he stayed in Kyoto on weekdays, he must have followed Ye Sili around, but this time the three of them said they would leave, and they were caught off guard.

Although it wasn't their fault, she was left alone in Kyoto......

She grew up in the Ye family, although the elders are protecting her, but she is not a fool, the Ye family has been based in Kyoto for a hundred years, how many children have died on the battlefield, how many children have become victims of the royal struggle, she knows it in her heart, however, there are some things that cannot be spoken, just like my grandfather does not hear about the court now, but he still can't let go of the fierce loyalty of the children of the Ye family, and he is wearing armor again......

The world is dangerous, grandfather, Ah Wei, Nine Winds, and the twilight of spring...... Every one of them has to be well.

This time the expedition is urgent, the war is unknown, Ye Sili is inevitably a little worried and scared, the only hope for Cheng Ri is the osmanthus in the courtyard, it finally bloomed today, but it was washed straight into the bottom of his heart by Mu Jiufeng's basin of cold water!

Ye Sili has an advantage - he is angry. If there are outsiders on weekdays, I'm afraid no one will know whether she is angry or not, for so many years, only the two girls of Junwang, Gu Liwu, Mu Jiufeng and Duchun Lianxia can judge one or two slightly.

At this time, the three of them really knew that the eldest lady must be unhappy.

Mu Jiufeng looked at the two sisters of Duchun and Xia for help, blinking their eyes vigorously, hoping that they could help coax them, which Cheng thought that Duchun and Xia had a tacit understanding at this time, and at the same time lowered his head left and right, looking at his nose and nose, and letting Mu Jiufeng do what he wanted.

Mu Jiufeng cautiously observed Ye Sili's expression and agreed: "Yes, it's blooming." ”

Hearing this, Ye Sili looked up at him again and asked, "I'll wait for them at the city gate, will you go?" ”

"......" Mu Jiufeng dared to hesitate, and immediately replied: "Go, I'll accompany you." ”

Today's weather is good, the four of them found a good teahouse nearby, and chartered the highest and elegant room next to the street, Ye Sili sat by the window, looking down, it was a bustling street, with the sunset, the pedestrians were in a hurry, they should be in a hurry to go home, and the hawkers also began to collect their stalls.

Not far away is the high city wall, the guards at the city gate changed again and again, Xiao Er also came up to heat the tea over and over again, the other three seemed to be a little tired, but they didn't dare to speak, just look at me and I look at you, looking at each other, in the end, Mu Jiufeng really couldn't help it, or said:

"Si Li, we've been waiting all day, why don't you go back today, once there is news from them, I'll notify you immediately, how about it?"

Ye Sili wanted to wait a little longer, but she turned her head to face Mu Jiufeng, and then she remembered that Mu Jiufeng had also been running around for several months, and only returned to Beijing yesterday, but she rested for a night, and today she was called by her to sit for a day, and suddenly apologized, and nodded:

"Okay, I've worked hard for you today, I heard that my uncle and aunt are not very at home these days, why don't you go back to the house with me for dinner, it can be regarded as a belated reception, how about it?"

When Mu Jiufeng heard this, there was no reason to refuse, and immediately followed Ye Sili back to the house, since it was for him to pick up the wind and wash the dust, Ye Sili naturally cooked in person, Mu Jiufeng didn't see it outside, and drove out the twilight spring and summer, rolled up his sleeves by himself, and helped Ye Sili to help.

Ye Sili's cooking skills are first-class, Mu Jiufeng has been away for a few months, and he doesn't want to do anything else, so he is hungry for her first-hand good dishes.

With Mu Jiufeng's help, Ye Sili also quickly prepared a large table of dishes, Mu Jiufeng smelled the aroma of the dishes, and felt that the gluttonous worms in his stomach had long been unbearable.

There have never been many rules in Ye Mansion, Ye Zhongyao has been a horse all his life, and he is not informal, Ye Sili is lively by nature, and he is not as twisted and pinched as an ordinary lady, and Gu Liwu is even more based on Ye Sili's principle. Therefore, the family members of Ye Mansion have never complained, and they do not need to be as frightened as Beppu.

In the days when Ye Zhongyao and Gu Liwu went out, Ye Sili was bored alone, and he had no appetite for eating, and occasionally he could eat a few more bites accompanied by the late spring and summer.

The four of them gathered around the table, and Mu Jiufeng started directly unceremoniously.

"But I'm hungry, I've lost weight in the past few months, it's all because your food is so delicious, but it feeds my taste high, and the food made by ordinary cooks is simply hard to eat!"

After Mu Jiufeng said that, he unceremoniously took a big bite of chicken, not caring at all about his image as a beautiful jade son.

While eating, Mu Jiufeng told Ye Sili about the interesting things he met when he went out this time, which made Ye Sili very unhappy, watching Mu Jiufeng eat and drink nonsense, Ye Sili also had an appetite, and ate a lot.

Ye Sili made a large table of dishes, but it was also eaten clean by the four of them, and the four of them touched their round stomachs, so unhappy.

In the late spring, she got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Ye Sili was still listening to Mu Jiufeng's story.

Suddenly, a person appeared in the dining room, Ye Sili turned her head to look, this person she recognized, it was the guard who had followed Jiufeng since childhood, and was sent out to inquire about the news a few days ago.

"Childe, county lord."

"Motoki, how's it going?" Mu Jiufeng glanced at Ye Sili and asked.

Yuanmu clasped his hands into fists and replied: "Information has just come from the front line, in the previous battle, the king of the county was seriously injured, and Gu Gongzi ......" Yuanmu paused, looked at Ye Sili cautiously, and finally said: "Missing." ”

Boom.

Ye Sili was paralyzed on the wooden chair, and wanted to ask, but his voice was indeed trembling and speechless.

Mu Jiufeng noticed Ye Sili's emotions, got up and walked to her side, patted her on the shoulder gently, reassured her, and asked carefully, "What's going on?" Didn't you say a few days ago that our army had a great victory and victory was in sight? ”

Motoki had to make a long story short:

"Since the county king and Mu Gongzi support the border pass, our army is indeed like a tiger wings, Jiejie victory, recently Gongzi you stabilized the disaster, I am the people's hearts are stable, Qiang Guoding knows that the time has been lost, so they want to fight quickly, how did they seem to go crazy, three days ago the night actually attacked our army camp, our army was outnumbered in this battle, this strong attack, our army suffered heavy losses, the county king was seriously injured, Mu Gongzi was missing."

Ye Sili trembled all over, wanted to take a sip of tea to slow down, his hands were indeed shaking uncontrollably, Mu Jiufeng hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and carefully handed it in front of her, Ye Sili took it, took a small sip, and drank the whole cup with a gurgling voice, and put down the teacup.

After a long time, Ye Sili opened his mouth and asked:

"What are the losses of our army in this battle?"

Mu Jiufeng looked at Ye Sili with some doubts, but he immediately understood.

Yuanmu replied: "According to reports from the front, our army has lost 215 casualties and 3,823 wounded, the camp has been lost, and the city defense has not been broken. ”

Hearing this, Ye Sili let out a long breath, looked at Mu Jiufeng and smiled, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Mu Jiufeng returned to his original position and sat down, Ye Sili poured another cup of tea and drank it slowly, Yuan Mu looked at the two of them in an instant, and they were a little dazed.

"Childe, county lord, who are you?"

Mu Jiufeng smiled, Ye Sili put down the teacup, looked at Yuan Mu with a confused look, and asked funny:

"Do you know how many people each of the two armies sent in this battle?"

Yuanmu blurted out: "The enemy army is 130,000, and our army ...... Seventy thousand. ”

It should be too much to say that 70,000 is still too much, but when the king of the county went on the expedition, the court only sent 30,000 horses, and the remaining 40,000 were still soldiers stationed at the border.

It stands to reason that there are far more than 40,000 soldiers stationed at the border, but if the border soldiers do not have the imperial order, how can they be deployed at will, and this is the imperial order they look forward to day and night...... Hmph, look at this hour, I'm afraid the palace is singing and dancing!

In this battle, the number of the enemy and us was fully doubled, but as soon as the county king and Gu Liwu arrived, they were able to beat the enemy country into a daze.

Ye Zhongyao has been fighting for many years, and the soldiers under his command are all brave and good at fighting, comparable to ordinary soldiers, and they know the roots, they are very familiar, and they cooperate seamlessly.

And Gu Liwu, the folk name of "Young General" is not false.

Although Ye Zhongyao and Gu Liwei have always shirked the official position canonized by the emperor to Gu Liwu under various excuses for so many years, Gu Liwu has not been idle in Ye Mansion over the years.

In the first few years, it was natural that Gu Liwu was defeated, and Ye Zhongyao didn't want to let the juniors a little, every time Gu Liwu was a loser.

But gradually, sometimes the two of them are really difficult to distinguish, every time they lose, Ye Zhongyao has to meditate hard for several days, and later, seeing that Ye Zhongyao is too obsessed, Gu Liwu will put some water without a trace, Ye Zhongyao doesn't know where to go, but the two of them are also happy.

Others Ye Sili may not understand, Gu Liwu is still not clear?

Therefore, even if Ye Sili doesn't understand it anymore, he knows that the strength of the two of them has never been brute force, at least looking at the entire Great Zhou, Ye Sili really can't find someone who can win them in terms of tactical calculations, and Mu Jiufeng naturally knows this.

Ye Sili propped one hand on the table, supported his chin, and said unhurriedly:

"In today's situation, the Qiang State is attacking, it must be full of strength, and in this battle, our army is 'defeated', the people are panicked, and the enemy army is even more proud...... In a big battle, our army sacrificed more than 200 people, but more than 3,000 people were wounded, but the city was not lost at all, and it was ...... Who exactly? ”

As soon as Ye Sili said this, Yuanmu immediately reacted.
