Chapter Eighty-Six: Awakening from a Dream

Three long and one short, and the last slender whistle!

He was overjoyed and hurriedly went to open the door.

"General, my subordinates are late, and I ask the general to punish you."

Xiao Er and Xiao San searched all the way for the mark left by the general, and finally found it here last night.

It's a pity that there are always other people in the house, so as not to startle the snake, and the two of them have been guarding the outside of the house. It wasn't until Fang saw the little lady go out that the two of them dared to show up quickly.

"It's okay, what happened to the thieves' den where the Beidi people are entrenched in Guazhou now?"

"Back to the general's words, the thief's den was destroyed by fire on the second day, fortunately, his subordinates led people to ambush in advance and caught three live mouths, and Xiao Si was still interrogating the three of them."

"Well, that's very good."

Xiao Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this time the injury was not in vain.

"General, my subordinates have another matter to report." Xiao Er's eyes hesitated, and he stopped talking.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Xiao Er gasped, but he still didn't dare to delay any longer.

"General, Madame ran away the day before yesterday and night, and she took all the gold, silver and jewelry from the house. The subordinates sent people to chase after them, but there is no news so far. ”

Xiao Chengyu was stunned, but instead shook his head, depressed in his heart, and smiled bitterly miserably.

Everyone in the world knows that the family style of the Marquis of Wenchang is good, and the lady in the family is beautiful and intelligent, virtuous and virtuous, and is a good match. But the world doesn't know that although Jiang was born rich and noble, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he can't bear the bitter cold and simplicity of this desolate place in the northwest, and he cries and scolds day and night to return to Chang'an.

Now it seems that the Jiang family is still so timid and afraid, which is really despicable.

"General, you haven't appeared in the general's mansion for many days, and your wife is not in the mansion, rumors have spread in the mansion and the city, and the general is asked to return to the mansion as soon as possible to make the decision, and stabilize the morale of the army."

Xiao Chengyu nodded noncommittally, but raised his eyes to look at the warm and bright blue sky.

"Wait a little longer, I'll say goodbye to her personally."

It's a pity that the little lady didn't come back until the sunset.

Xiao Chengyu understood that the matter was urgent, decided not to delay any longer, and left in a hurry after leaving a letter.

When Xiao Chengyu returned half a year later, the small wooden house had been burned to the ground.

He had also sent for information on several occasions that two or three people in the village had indeed seen a strange old man walking with a little lady in a hat and haunting the place. It's a pity that after two or three months, the two of them were never seen again.

The villagers did not know what caused the fire in the mountains. The little lady who once saved his life in the cabin, as if someone had completely erased the traces on purpose, could no longer inquire about any news.

After a long time, he also sealed this short but quiet mountain life in his heart. The only trace of greed left has also been wiped clean, and the dragonflies have touched the water, and the geese have passed without a trace.

The north courtyard is the capital of the palace, the cold night is long, and the north wind is howling.

"Du, Duhu, the wontons are going to be cold......"

Yao Yun stared at him stunned, her rough and burning palm pressed tightly against her cold cheeks, burning her white jade earlobes, the tip of her nose was slightly damp, and her heart was fascinated.

"yes, I'm sorry."

Xiao Chengyu came back to her senses, and finally let go of the wrist that was holding her and the big palm that was close to her face, and even her tone revealed a bit of watery tenderness that she had not noticed. He took a half-cold bowl of wonton soup from her hand and ate it carefully one bite at a time.

Yao Yun was stunned, this was the first time Xiao Chengyu bowed his head to her to apologize.

"Du, Duhu, is it delicious? It's the only thing I've ever done to eat. ”

"Well, it tastes good, I like it."

Xiao Chengyu finished eating a big bowl of wontons, and even drank not a drop of hot soup left, and even smiled at her for the first time, smiling like a spring breeze.

At this moment, Yao Yun was even more angry in his heart, and looked at him inexplicably.

"It's late, let's go back."

He tried to ignore her bewildered and inquiring gaze, and responded softly.

Yao Yun responded with a good voice, only to feel that he was strange all around him, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

She helped him up and walked to the back yard, and the two walked slowly and leisurely side by side, leaving large and small snow marks behind them, string after string, continuously, strolling through the snow, leisurely.

At the beginning of the new year, Xiao Chengyu lived in the capital for seven or eight days for the first time, and there is no sign of returning to the barracks to this day.

This makes some people happy and some people worried!

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xiao Chengyu poured into them, Xue Huai, Xiao Shishi and Yao Mao excitedly circled around him every day, and suddenly wanted to pull him to teach them to practice swords and martial arts, and all of a sudden asked him to tell them interesting stories and anecdotes on the battlefield in the military camp.

What's even more jaw-dropping is that Xiao Chengyu was neither angry nor annoyed, but mingled with them with a smile.

Of course, the one who is sad and depressed is Yao Yun himself.

Early in the morning every day, Yao Yun was forcibly called up by him, and practicing archery became a necessary lesson every day.

A few days ago, she was still enthusiastic and eager to try, and then she was full of disgust and unwilling to try.

Early in the morning of this day, Xiao Er was in the courtyard early.

"Xiao Er's guard, Sister Wei cried a lot last night, Yao Niangzi fell asleep very late, or she would ...... today" Bai Lu laughed a few times, wanting to plead for her own lady.

Xiao Er scratched his head embarrassedly, but he couldn't shirk it: "Lady Bailu, I said that I have to practice hard today, and I bother you to spread it again." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

Entering the room, Yao Yun had already opened his eyes in a daze.

She straightened her arms, her shoulders stiff and sore, as if she had been repeatedly twisted and beaten, as if they were no longer her own.

She rolled over, her lower abdomen aching, and she counted that the days should be menstrual affairs.

"Xiao Chengyu, you bastard....."

Bai Lu lifted the bed curtain and stood on the edge of the bed and bowed his head respectfully: "Lady, Xiao Er's guards are here, the slave maid will serve you to get up and change your clothes." ”

Yao Yun pursed her lips and said unhappily: "I'm tired to death, I just won't go today!" ”

"Lady......" Bai Lu looked at her in embarrassment, "Xiao Er's guards have been waiting for a long time. ”

Yao Yun turned over with a big grin, deliberately drilled into the bed, and said with the quilt stuffy: "If you go and say, just say that I am unwell, so I won't go today." Then he brought me a new menstrual belt, ashes, and cotton. ”

Bai Lu sighed helplessly, it turned out that it was a menstrual affair, and the lady's body was very unhappy every time she came to menstruation, so she had to report to Xiao Er first.

Yao Yun heard that there was no movement outside the house, and breathed a sigh of relief, covering her face and wanting to sleep again.

"Yao Niangzi, Yao Niangzi ......"

Bai Lu's panicked voice was heard in her ears, and someone was pulling her warm bedding.
