"Si Li, Li Wu has led the army to set off, why are you still here?"

Xiao Ling carried the goose-yellow skirt and hurriedly ran into the Yusheng Courtyard, and saw that Ye Sili was still sitting in the courtyard embroidering, so anxious that she kept urging.

"Got it, got it, I'll be fine right away."

Ye Sili's tone was also anxious, but the work in his hands was serious and meticulous.

Finally, Ye Sili took the scissors, cut the buried thread, picked up the medicinal materials that had been prepared long ago and put them in his purse, and hurriedly ran out of the house.

In the eighteenth year of Xining, in July, there were mountain bandits in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that the surrounding people were not able to make a living, and they fled one after another.

Ye Sili rode his horse and hurried, but fortunately the army was not fast at this time, and finally caught up with Gu Liwu outside the city.

"Ah worry!"

Gu Liwu turned his head and saw Ye Sili chasing after him, and immediately ordered Bai Yi to continue with the army, while he turned around and waited for Ye Sili.

"Ah Li, why are you here?" Gu Liwu was a little surprised.

Ye Sili didn't say much nonsense, and threw the embroidered purse directly to him.

"There are the most mosquitoes in this season, and there is a mosquito repellent medicine in your purse, so you remember to bring it with you."

Gu Liwu put the purse on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and a faint aroma of herbs overflowed, which smelled very good.

"Okay." Gu Liwu put his purse into his chest pocket.

Ye Sili looked at the lightly armed team, but he was still relieved, and instructed:

"I heard that Liangcheng is remote, mostly hilly land, mountain bandits have been fighting with local soldiers all year round, quite experienced, very cunning, you must be careful."

"Okay." Gu Liwu smiled dotingly, touched Ye Sili's head, and suddenly said with some pity:

"It's a long way to Liangcheng this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you on your birthday this year."

Ye Sili didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you have time to write a letter to me, I will also be very happy." ”

"Then it's a deal."

The marching team gradually moved away, and Gu Liwu said goodbye:

"You will go back to the city later, and don't gallop through the streets, pay attention to safety."

Ye Sili touched the horse under his crotch and said, "Got it." ”

"Ah worry, take care of yourself."

Gu Liwu nodded in response, and then rode away.

Twilight Chun accompanied Ye Zhongyao back to the house, and saw Xiao Ling standing at the door of the Yugong Mansion at a loss, Twilight Chun stepped forward and asked:

"Princess, didn't you go with the county lord to see off your son, why are you standing at the door?"

Xiao Ling looked at a horse at the door, then turned his head to look at Yun An, and said very reluctantly:

"Si Li ran too fast on the horse, and I didn't catch up."

“……”

Twilight Spring and Tsui Xia instantly knew that every time they encountered the matter of the son, the county lord ignored it.

Today, I actually rode on the streets of Kyoto, but fortunately, the county lord's equestrian skills were deeply inherited by the son, so nothing went wrong.

The mosquitoes in July are the most annoying, Ye Sili sat on the swing and "snapped" to kill a mosquito.

"County Lord, there are too many mosquitoes outside, let's go inside." Twilight Persuaded.

Ye Sili threw away the mosquito in his hand and asked:

"When do you think Ah Wei will come back?"

"......" Twilight Spring and Chuan Xia looked at each other, and finally Shui Xia said:

"County Lord, the prince only set off today, and he hasn't arrived in Liangcheng yet."

……

Ye Sili sat by the window, staring blankly at the orange sunset, and asked:

"Why don't you have any news yet, I miss him."

Chuan Xia lit incense and put it on the dressing table, and said:

"County Lord, the son has only been gone for two days, you wait."

……

The morning light is shining, the birdsong is crisp, and the air is fresh.

Ye Sili opened the door, stretched, unconsciously glanced in the direction of Yulan Courtyard, turned his head and asked Du Chun, who came out with a basin to pour washing water: "Is there any news of Ah Worry?" ”

Twilight was very helpless, and still replied:

"My good county lord, Kyoto is quite far from Liangcheng, even if you are fast and fast, day and night, I am afraid it will take three or five days, not to mention that Childe has thousands of people on this trip, according to the normal process, it will take about seven days, and today is only the third day, you wait patiently."

……

"Si Li, today you are the protagonist, why are you hiding in Yulan Courtyard alone?"

Xiao Ling finally found Ye Sili and took the birthday gift she had prepared for Ye Sili from Yun An.

"Open it up and take a look, I left it for you."

Ye Sili carefully opened the wooden box, and there was a night pearl with a faint blue light lying inside.

"Wow, this night pearl is so beautiful." Ye Sili showed a joy that he had not felt in the past few days.

Seeing that Ye Sili liked it, Xiao Ling said proudly: "Of course it's beautiful, this is a tribute from the Qiang Kingdom, and this is the only one, I specially asked my father for it, thinking that you must like it." ”

"I like it." Ye Sili nodded again and again.

"You're hiding here." Mu Jiufeng also came over, the folding fan in his hand was smoothly closed, pointed to the two jars of good wine that Yuan Mu was carrying, and said, "The peach blossom brew specially brought to you, I don't know if you still like it?" ”

Peach blossom stuffing?

"Peach blossom brewing in the Drunken Cloud Building?" Ye Sili's eyes widened in surprise.

Mu Jiufeng smiled and nodded.

Ye Sili hurriedly walked over, lifted the lid and sniffed: "Wow, it's really the peach blossom brew of Zuiyunlou." ”

"Didn't the master brewer go back to his hometown? How did you get it? ”

The folding fan in Mu Jiufeng's hand was gently tapped on his hand one by one, pretending to be mysterious: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

Ye Sili hadn't drunk for a long time, and when he smelled the wine, he couldn't help but let Lian Xia take the wine glass, and the three of them sat around the table in the courtyard.

Mu Jiufeng saw that Ye Sili had only been in a moment's time, and he had already eaten two glasses of wine, and hurriedly persuaded him:

"You can take it easy and don't drink too much, otherwise that guy will have to count me down when he finds out."

Hearing this, Ye Sili put down his wine glass.

"I don't know if Ah Yu has a smooth journey."

Mu Jiufeng said with relief: "You can rest assured, in the past, it was majestic to lead troops to fight, but now it is just to suppress a mountain bandit, so don't worry." ”

Xiao Ling glared at Mu Jiufeng, "You can't speak, what do you mean by worrying about it?" ”

"My fault, my fault." Mu Jiufeng can bend and stretch.

"County Lord, Childe sent back a letter."

Qingluo ran into Yulan Courtyard.

Ye Sili got up abruptly and hurriedly took the letter.

"Ah Li's Initiation"

Just looking at these four words, the corners of Ye Sili's mouth couldn't help but rise.

She couldn't be more familiar with this handwriting, slowly unfolding the letter paper, looking at the words word by word, she seemed to be able to see Gu Liwu sitting at the desk and writing letters seriously.

The whole two pieces of letter paper are all telling the thoughts of all the Yugong Mansion.

Ye Sili's eyebrows stretched, the corners of his mouth rose, and his thoughts and worries in the past seven days were comforted at this moment.

"What did you say, you are smiling so happily?"

Mu Jiufeng leaned his head over, Ye Sili folded the letterhead, put it back in the envelope as it was, pointed to the four words on the envelope, and smiled at Mu Jiufeng:

"This is what Ah Yu wrote to me."

“…… Stingy. ”

Xiao Ling asked curiously:

"What can you say about leaving your worries? How are you doing? ”

Ye Sili nodded and said, "Ah Wei arrived in Liangcheng yesterday, everything went well. ”

Qingluo stepped forward again and presented the jade flute with both hands, and said:

"Childe said that today is your birthday, but he is not by your side, so I sent the jade flute back, I hope you can be happier."

Ye Sili took the jade flute in surprise, this flute was brought by Ah Wei since he was a child, and it was very precious, but now he sent it back thousands of miles just to wish her a happy birthday......

Liangcheng Zhizhou prepared early to greet him, and after Gu Liwu arrived in Liangcheng, he immediately arranged his entourage and soldiers, and he was not too polite, and went straight to the topic to understand the current situation of Liangcheng.

"Childe, it's not early today, you have to go to the Liangcheng military camp tomorrow morning, so let's rest early."

Bai Yi sorted out the dossier that Gu Liwu had finished reading and persuaded him.

Gu Liwu closed the topographic map of Liangcheng in his hand, got up and walked outside the house.

He looked up at the starry sky, and the night breeze made his hair move slightly.

Although there is no bright moon in the sky tonight, the thoughts can still cross thousands of rivers and mountains to walk to the person's side.

"The stars are shining tonight."

"Ah Li, happy birthday."

Ye Sili sat on the swing, holding the jade flute in his hand, and laughed stupidly.

In the past few days, she can often receive letters from Ah Wei, most of which are patient, but Ye Sili can read them many times.

"Si Li! Oh no! ”

Mu Jiufeng hurriedly walked into the Yusheng Courtyard.

Seeing him look so anxious, Ye Sili couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and asked cautiously:

"What?"

Mu Jiufeng habitually wanted to find the folding fan, but he forgot to bring it because he was in too much hurry to go out.

"Something happened to Liangcheng."

"......" Ye Sili was stunned, slowly got up, walked in front of Mu Jiufeng, and questioned:

"How is that possible? A few days ago, I received a letter from Ah Yu, in which he said that everything was fine. ”

Mu Jiufeng naturally didn't want to believe it, he was stunned for a long time when he received the news, Gu Liwu was quite experienced in several battlefield battles, plus he was superb in martial arts and far-sighted, how could he lose in Xiaoxiao Liangcheng?

"How many days have you not heard from you?"

“…… Three days" Ye Sili was uneasy in his heart.

When Mu Jiufeng heard this, he had to admit: "That's right, the distance between Liangcheng and Kyoto is very long, and it is normal for the news to lag behind." ”

"I've been inquiring about the news of Liangcheng these days, and today I learned that two days ago, the mountain bandits raided and disturbed the city."

Ye Sili gradually calmed down and asked, "The Holy Lord sent three thousand soldiers and horses to accompany Ah Wei, plus the local army in Liangcheng, not to mention tens of thousands of horses, shouldn't let the mountain bandits make waves like this." ”

"How is Ah Yu now?"

Mu Jiufeng shook his head and said: "According to the report of his subordinates, two days ago, the mountain bandits came to attack, and Li Wei personally led his troops to block the city gate, but he didn't know where the mountain bandits entered the city, and the people fled in all directions. ”

Ye Sili pondered: "Presumably, the mountain bandits also heard that the imperial court sent people to suppress the bandits, and they wanted to give Ah Wei a disadvantage this time." ”

"However," Ye Sili still had doubts: "According to Ah Wei's temperament, he should have made handover arrangements with the city officials on the day he arrived in Liangcheng, how could there be such a mess now?" ”
