Chapter 97: The Benefactor
The ink ingot was held in his hand and slashed, Lu Xiaoqi's head also slammed down, and he slammed his head on the table, making a noise, secretly glanced at Xiao Yichen, sat up straight, and tried to open his eyes, looking a little stupid.
Under the dim candlelight, Lu Xiaoqi really couldn't stand the sleepiness swept over, leaned straight back, and lay on the cushion "fluttering", Xiao Yichen put down the pen and took a look, only to see the person lying there with curled eyelashes, fair skin, and the mustache a little naughty in his mouth, turned over uncomfortably, and continued to sleep very soundly, Xiao Yichen got up and ignored the sleeping person.
After a while, he took a blanket and covered Lu Xiaoqi's body, blew out the candle, went to the couch and lay down, who was chirping in the middle of the night, Xiao Yichen frowned, and saw the little figure lying there in the dark, with his mouth open and closed, thinking that it was a dream, dreaming of delicious food.
Following
The sound of scattered footsteps sounded outside, Lu Xiaoqi was woken up by the sound, rubbed his hands on his eyes, sat up, stretched his waist, saw that there was a table in front of him, and he didn't know when he was covered with a thin blanket, he was shocked, and touched his face, fortunately, the beard was still there, and he leaned out again, and saw that there was no one around, thinking that Xiao Yichen got up early.
took out the bronze mirror from his body and helped his waist, "Ouch, it's killing me." The mirror was in front of his face, he looked at his makeup, his little hand pressed the mustache again, and his hair was not very messy, seeing that Xiao Yichen had not come yet, he quickly combed his hair again, reinserted the hair crown, folded the blanket, got out of the tent, and stretched his waist.
"Yo, awake?" Lin Qi came again with the medicine, "What are you guys doing here?" ”
Lu Xiaoqi saw that all the soldiers were hurriedly carrying things, "Didn't you say yesterday, go back to the capital today, you won't be stupid." Lin Qi didn't forget to make fun of it, and Lu Xiaoqi remembered it, as if he had said it.
Xiao Yichen came out of the tent, "Lord Wang, it's time to drink medicine." Xiao Yichen took the bowl and saw Lu Xiaoqi open his mouth wide, Xiao Yichen smiled lightly at him, "How did you get out of here." ”
Lu Xiaoqi was a little at a loss, I just watched it, there is no one, what's going on? "It looks like you haven't woken up yet, you must have come out of here early in the morning."
It's over, it's over, he didn't see it just now, Xiao Yichen didn't pay attention to Lu Xiaoqi's startledness, turned around and went back to the tent, "No, it's just that our general is not in the mood to pay attention to you now, otherwise your head would not have been here just now." Lin Qi pointed to Lu Xiaoqi's neck, and Lu Xiaoqi subconsciously covered his neck, his back was cold, and he thought to himself, I shouldn't have noticed it, who doesn't tidy up their clothes and hair in the morning.
"Little brother, I haven't asked your name yet, what's your name?" Lin Qi's brain was like being burned, it had been a day and a night, and only then did he remember to ask his name, Lu Xiaoqi pulled the corners of his mouth, "My name is Mo Li." ”
"This name is quite nice, my name is Lin Qi." Lin Qi scratched his head and grabbed Lu Xiaoqi's shoulder, Lu Xiaoqi smiled at him, the tent was collected quickly, and after a while, the dozen or so tents were put away, and the things in the main tent were also removed.
At that time, the whole army was ready to go, just waiting for Xiao Yichen's order, "Go!" ”
At this hour, although the flaming sun had not yet shone directly, the sand on the road was already shining, and the hot air made people feel breathless, and at noon, the willow tree next to it, as if sick, had a layer of dust hanging on its leaves, and it was curled on the branches, and the branches were too lazy to move, and hung listlessly.
Countless cicadas are screaming hoarsely, there is no water on the road, the dry white light, the scorching sun is scorching their bodies, sweat beads are dripping from their foreheads little by little, and the dust on the road is flying high, so high that it is connected with the gray in the sky, forming a nasty sand array, burning the faces of pedestrians, and the dry land is gasping for heat under the tired feet, Lu Xiaoqi is a little unable to keep up with the team, and is left behind, from time to time Lin Qi also drove over and handed him water to drink.
You can't give me a horse, I can't walk anymore, Lu Xiaoqi slumped on the ground with his buttocks, even if the sand on the ground hurts his buttocks, Lu Xiaoqi can't walk, and his legs are straight and weak.
"Driving...... Come, "Get up and get into the carriage." ”
This sentence is undoubtedly the biggest relief for Lu Xiaoqi, he stood up with his hands on the ground, patted the sand on his hands, the carriage stopped for a moment, Lu Xiaoqi got into the carriage happily, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and was really much cooler, and found Xiao Yichen sitting there and chuckled, Lu Xiaoqi didn't forget to say, "Thank you, General." ”
"Hey, when did you say that the prince was so kind, and even let this kid get into the carriage, I really want to go......" Lin Qi still showed a little envy, Ah Wu shook his head and smiled, "You go and ask the prince......
"Hey, don't, I'm afraid that the prince will kick me out." The two of them were joking on their horses, but Lu Xiaoqi, who had just entered the carriage, was not so comfortable, and shrank in a corner a little restrainedly, but his uncompetitive stomach was "growling".
Xiao Yichen, who was originally closed and recuperated, threw a bag of pastries over out of nowhere, Lu Xiaoqi caught it and looked at Xiao Yichen, only to see that he was still with his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened, Lu Xiaoqi opened it and saw that it was mung bean cake, when did this person become so helpful?
No matter, I happened to be hungry, and I didn't eat anything in the morning, Lu Xiaoqi picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, it was delicious, and after eating one and then picked it up, in the carriage, the two didn't say a word, one ate, and the other fell asleep.
In the second half of the day, the sun is not so poisonous, from time to time there will be a small gust of wind blowing, it is quite cool, there are still fifty miles to the capital, at this time it is already night, Xiao Yichen ordered, tonight in the forest to rest, set up tents, those soldiers are still patrolling in an orderly manner, without a trace of slack.
Lu Xiaoqi picked up a branch from the ground, tore the leaves on the branch, the moonlight was bright, the cicadas were chirping, today's night was quite comfortable, everyone was eating around the cauldron, but Lu Xiaoqi was in no mood, getting closer and closer to the capital, the more difficult Lu Xiaoqi's mood became, he didn't return for more than a year, I don't know if my grandmother and brother are okay, and Qiqiao, I am not there, did the subordinates bully her......
Self-blame is born from the bottom of my heart, but I don't regret it, if I do it again, the choice will not change.
However, since you are about to return to the capital, you should also go and see your savior......
