Yun Zhao turned around in front of Wang Yanshu's door for a while and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Yun Zhao entered the door, stood at the door and exhaled, then walked over and showed a smile: "Sir, the roast mutton in Xiangyun City is a must, we won't eat at the mansion tonight, let's go eat roast mutton." ”

Wang Yanshu looked up from the account book. Even if he was in the military camp, the Yun family's property and the necessary interpersonal relationships of the Hou Mansion still had to be taken care of by him.

Yun Zhao's eyes were full of anticipation, and he couldn't bear to refuse. He nodded, "Okay." ”

Roast lamb with juniper wine is the most delicious delicacy in Yuyang City. The steaming mutton is soft and delicious, and the gin wine is slightly spicy and sweet, just to remove the greasy taste of mutton.

Yun Zhao drank a little more, and his steps were a little vain.

They walked side by side under the moon, and the corners of their clothes frequently touched each other with their footsteps.

Yun Zhao was wearing a long red skirt, a light-colored jacket, and a cloak on the outside. The gentleman was dressed in a pale gray robe and a dark robe.

"Sir, I'm overwhelmed." Yun Zhao rubbed his stomach through his small jacket, revealing a bit of naivety.

Wang Yanshu couldn't help but smile and looked at her lovingly. Yun Zhao almost indulged in his gaze and looked away in a panic.

The gentleman finally smiled. I don't know, I thought that this mutton was not delicious, so that Mr. ate bitterly and hated deeply. ”

"The lamb is delicious."

"Then what is the gentleman bothering about?"

He frowned slightly, and sighed lowly: "Every step you take now is on the edge of the knife, I worry about you, and I hate myself for being weak and unable to help you." ”

This is the deepest feeling he has after coming to the southern border, watching Yun Zhao busy day and night, there are too few things he can do.

"Sir has helped me a lot." She smiled lightly, "As long as my husband is by my side, I will feel at ease." ”

Wang Yanshu looked at her face, a little distracted.

Yun Zhao looked far away and saw a pair of men and women on the side of the road opposite. The woman was as delicate as jade, and the man smiled lightly, and I don't know what he said in the girl's ear, which made her laugh.

Yun Zhao raised his chin: "Sir, look, how happy they are. ”

Wang Yanshu looked over, and the soft lights reflected their happy smiling faces, and the light in their eyes was like stars. He frowned slightly, his inner throbbing cried out for his sleeping desires.

"Sir, Yuyang City has always been open to the people, and it is not as strict as Jingzhong to abide by the etiquette and law. Don't be surprised, sir. Let's go. ”

Yun Zhao frowned when he saw him, thinking that he was not used to seeing it, and hurriedly wanted to leave. I saw him suddenly smile, and his eyes were desolate.

At that time, Yun Zhao felt as if he understood him.

The man and woman bought a water lantern and walked towards the river together, their steps brisk, their smiles, and Yun Zhao's gaze involuntarily followed the past.

"Zhao'er likes this place more than the capital?" He asked suddenly.

Yun Zhao hurriedly withdrew his gaze, but didn't know how to answer. She asked, "What does the gentleman like?" ”

She was almost sure that he would choose Handan. But I saw him with a low brow and a light smile: "Here." ”

"I thought my husband would not like the folk customs here."

His eyes turned to the lights and smiling faces on the street, and finally looked at her and shook his head: "I don't like it, I can't." ”

Yun Zhao looked at his bright eyes, and always felt that he was answering one question, and the other question she had asked countless times in her heart these days.

The strength of the wine was a little high, Yun Zhao felt that she couldn't think about it, and her mind was full of his desolate gaze for a moment, like the moon in the sky, lonely and cold, unchanged for thousands of years.

"Sir, how can you be happier?" She was a little depressed, and a feeling of powerlessness filled her heart.

Wang Yanshu stared at her. They stood in the bright light, but they were far away from the lights of ten thousand homes. In this lonely and long life, only they can warm each other.

Yun Zhao thought he wouldn't answer, shrugged his shoulders in frustration, turned around and left.

"At the moment, I'm happy."

Yun Zhao paused, and the noisy voices receded from her ears, distant and hazy.

Then turn the corner and you will arrive at the entrance of the government office. Yun Zhao stopped abruptly in the dark corner and pulled Mr.

They plunged into the darkness together, and Yun Zhao took his hands and encircled him between himself and the wall, breathing and smelling each other in the silence.

"Yun Zhao." Wang Yanshu's voice was a little flustered, but when Yun Zhao heard it, he stopped angrily.

Maybe it's the smell of wine, maybe it's the throbbing that she pressed in her heart and broke through the ground. She stood on tiptoe, poked her head out, and pressed her lips to his.

Wang Yanshu felt trembling for a moment. Her lips were soft and warm, and he could smell her scent, faintly with a fatal attraction.

His lips were cold and trembling. Yun Zhao felt his hand tremble, and then exerted.

She was pushed out of the darkness and fell into the light. She was whipped like a thief in public. Tears gathered in her eyes, Yun Zhao lowered her eyes, and tears flowed down.

"Yun Zhao has offended Mr. after all." She whispered, "I'll go back and copy the book, and Sir will treat me as drunk, forgive me." ”

Wang Yanshu was still standing in the shadows, silent. She ran away with her skirt, went around the corner, and rushed into the door of the house in three or two steps.

He remained in the darkness, silent for a long time.

In the silence of the night, the candles in her room were not extinguished.

In the past, if she made a mistake, her husband would punish her for copying books. After so many years, it has become a habit.

Copying books often calms her mind.

But this night, she copied it over and over again, and all that lingered in her mind was his trembling breathing in the shadows.

Her fingertips could feel the shiver of his skin, his breathing was rapid, and his lips were slightly cold, with a faint smell of wine.

The more I thought about it, the faster I copied it, and when I stared at the words, my thoughts drifted back to that dark corner.

The morning light lit up, and Yun Zhao went to Mr. with a thick stack of paper that he had copied.

Wang Yanshu sat on the Taishi's chair all night.

Yun Zhao knocked on the door, and he moved his stiff lips: "Put it at the door." ”

"Sir, Yun Zhao knows that he is wrong. I beg your pardon, sir. ”

"Hmm."

Yun Zhao bowed his head and bent down to put the paper down. She took a deep breath, got up and left the house, and hid in the Shuozhou camp.

Yun Zhao sat in the camp tent holding the military book in a daze.

The wind ruffled the curtain of the tent and threw in some fallen leaves. The cold wind playfully crept in, and Yun Zhao shrank for a moment. She came back to her senses, put on her cloak and walked out.

Thirteen stood in the doorway, dressed in warm winter clothes.

Yun Zhao came out and took a deep breath of cold air: "This year's winter must be very cold. ”

Thirteen grinned: "If only it snowed." Ruixue is a good year, and next year will definitely be a good year. ”

Thirteen is always so optimistic. Yun Zhao glanced at him and asked, "Have the soldiers' winter clothes and food been paid?" ”

"It's already been sent, don't worry."

Thirteen rubbed his hands and asked, "Master Hou, aren't we going back to the house yet?" ”

Yun Zhao glanced at him coldly.

Thirteen frowned. His eyebrows were short, stubby, like two caterpillars, and they made people laugh.

"You've been living here for a few days, and my husband is still in the house."

Yun Zhao didn't answer his words, and walked forward and said, "Go to patrol the camp." ”

After walking a few steps, a horse galloped outside the camp, and the sentry on the horse held a small red flag and shouted: "Urgent! ”

His voice was high, piercing the silent snow like a thunderclap through the camp. The soldiers who had changed their guards and rested also emerged from their tents.

Yun Zhao turned his head to look over, the camp gate opened, and the sentry rode his horse, approaching Le Ma, and the fallen leaves on the ground rolled up.

The sentry turned over and dismounted, hurriedly ran over, and knelt down in front of Yun Zhao: "Commander, forward reconnaissance, one hundred and fifty miles outside the old mountain pass, the army of Qin and Wu is about 200,000, and they are marching to the old mountain pass in a hurry. ”

Yun Zhao frowned and shouted: "Prepare for war!" ”

In the manager's tent, several generals gathered here. The brazier inside the tent was full of charcoal fire. Several lords were arguing, and Yun Zhao's brain was buzzing.

She rubbed her eyebrows and clapped: "I will lead the troops to the old mountain pass, and Gan Qing will stay at Yuyang Pass." ”

"I don't agree." Gan Qing immediately retorted.

The old mountain pass is not a pass, this is just a break in the southernmost Huayin Mountain Range of Great Chu. Due to the accumulation of rubble, the mountain often landslides, and there is no way to build a pass here, only relying on the natural geographical situation, it can be defended by this 20-meter-wide mountain pass.

To the north of the old mountain pass, there are a hundred miles of wasteland, there are no cities, no people, and naturally there is no fertile soil. More than 200 miles to the north is Yuyang Pass, which is more than 200 miles long and long, there are five cities in the south of Shuozhou, 200,000 soldiers and civilians.

General Gu also retorted: "Master Hou, I don't agree either. ”

General Yu sighed and persuaded: "Master Hou, although the old mountain pass is not easy to attack, it is also not easy to defend. We still have the best defense according to Shunshui City. Several other generals nodded in agreement.

Yun Zhao stood up abruptly, and she pointed to the five southern cities of Shuozhou on the sand table. Shunshui City is the southernmost of the five cities, and the other four cities are slightly north, but there is no dependence, and the five cities are almost scattered outside Yuyang Pass.

"Defending Shunshui City, won't they attack elsewhere?" Yun Zhao glared, "Even if we transfer troops from Jizhou, we only have a total of 130,000 soldiers. Scattered in the Five Cities? Or are you going to wait until the soldiers come to the city, and we will defend them wherever they fight? ”

Yun Zhao's voice fell, and there was silence in the tent. Without sufficient soldiers, it was difficult to defend the southern part of Shuozhou. A Canglin Mountain cut off Shuozhou, protecting the southern border of Dachu, and Yuyang Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it sent the southern part of Shuozhou into the tiger's mouth.

"Defend the old mountain pass, and we will guard the gate of the southern border." Yun Zhao said, "General Gu, you immediately go to Jizhou to transfer troops and prepare to support Laoshankou." ”

General Gu looked at her. There was a kind of murderous coldness on her face, which made people dare not look at her. He arched his hand: "The last general will take the order." ”

"Gan Qing, you are guarding Yuyang Pass. General Yu, you take 5,000 people to Shunshui City in case of emergency. ”

"The last general commands." General Yu should come down. Yun Zhao looked at Gan Qing.

He lowered his head: "The last general will take the order." ”

The thirteenth and the others dispersed before they asked with a bitter face: "Master Hou, why do you have to go to the old mountain pass." ”

"Because it's the most dangerous place in there."

Thirteen frowned. Yun Zhao stared at the sand table and said, "Only when I am there, I am relieved." ”

Lao Yamaguchi is the key to determining the outcome of this game, and if he can't keep it, all his plans will be turned into empty talk.

Yun Zhao didn't have time to say goodbye to her husband, she led an army of 70,000 to the old mountain pass overnight.
