Chapter 213: Scarlet (1)

"By the way, how are you going to get in touch with Runtu and them?" Zheng Quqi turned his face and asked the fat man.

Huai Fat Man hurriedly told her: "The commander will notify us by blowing the whistle when the time comes, generally three short whistles are sudden, and three short and two long whistles mean that there is no problem, we will wait at the agreed place, and the commander will take the initiative to contact us at that time."

Zheng Quqi nodded abruptly after hearing this.

Beibei hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, it's good for us to watch from above, why don't you go down to accompany the general first, and we will report the situation as soon as possible."

Zheng Quqi was actually a little worried that Yu Wensheng was alone in the carriage with an injury, she thought about it for a while, "um", and said with a smile: "Okay, it's hard for you to pay more attention, but it's best to take advantage of this free time to take a good rest, and I don't know what sudden situations will be encountered on the next road."

It was the first time that the four of them had seen someone like Madame.

She doesn't look like a general's wife at all, she doesn't have the condescending arrogance of nobles to civilians, nor the estrangement and boundaries brought by her identity, she always has a feeling that makes people feel very comfortable.

Just like familiar relatives and friends meet, chat, talk, laugh and care, they don't have to deliberately approach, as long as she smiles, they have a natural and self-caring impulse to pour out their hearts to her.

But at the same time, she is also an admirable and respectable person, she never flaunts how good she is, but when she is needed, she will be very mature and steady, and invisibly become their backbone.

So, how can a person be so approachable and so amazing?

"We know, thank you Madame for your concern."

Liao Tai and they all responded in unison and smiled back.

With such a general's wife by the general's side, they all began to look forward to the future life in the camp, maybe the little solar energy of the lady will bring different changes to the general.

It will not be the same as before, only cold and cruel, there is no warmth in the barracks, everything is just iron laws and military regulations.

——

Zheng Quqi returned to the carriage and saw Yu Wensheng leaning against the window, with a superior side face, looking at the scenery of the aquatic and weedy wetlands passing by outside the car plainly and deeply.

She immediately went over: "How can you blow a cool breeze when you are like this, in case you ......."

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, just walked past him, reached out and pulled the window shut.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Yu Wensheng looking at her with a strange and strange look.

"It's been a long time since you've smiled at me, didn't you smile when you saw me?"

Zheng Quqi: "......"

laughed before because Wang Zebang said that he didn't like women to laugh, she thought that if she smiled more, he would not be able to stand it, but she didn't expect him to be so able to bear it and keep moving.

It's just that he suddenly wants to see her smile now, he's deliberately looking for unhappiness, right?

She squeezed out a smile, and the little white glutinous rice tooth was in the shape of a crescent: "Is that so?"

"It's not."

Yu Wensheng narrowed his eyes and said directly.

"When is it now, how can I laugh?" Zheng Quqi sat down across from him and put away his smile.

"Didn't you smile a lot when you were up there?" He asked in a calm tone.

Zheng Quqi paused, her eyes rolled around, and she didn't remember if she was smiling just now, and she was laughing very happily, she rubbed her nose: "Did you smile?"

He reassured, "Laughed."

"Still smiling?" She asked again.

"That's right."

"Oh, that's none of my business, someone must have made me laugh, I don't just laugh myself." Zheng Quqi said innocently.

Yu Wensheng smiled softly: "Then I make you laugh, will you laugh?"

Zheng Quqi is sure, he must be sick, otherwise why would he do such a boring thing...

"You try." She replied casually.

However, the "Living Yama" still makes people laugh, and she really looks forward to it.

Yu Wensheng was caught off guard and pulled her into his arms, Zheng Quqi subconsciously stretched out his hand to struggle, but he was firmly locked in his arms.

"What do you do? Let go of me."

She pushed it with her hand, but she felt a wet patch on her palm, and her movements immediately froze: "You, you bleed?"

"Struggle a little more and see if you can make me bleed to death." He heard her exclamation and chuckled lowly.

This madman can still laugh at this time.

Zheng Quqi rolled his eyes, but he didn't move, hug it, hug it, anyway, if you hug it, you won't lose a piece of meat.

"Ruler, there's no time......

He suddenly whispered.

"What?"

We...... Time is running out.

Yu Wensheng rested his chin on her shoulder, but looked out of the car window with a distracted gaze, and then asked with a smile: "Qu Qi, if I die, I will give you all the wealth and land I own, and you will inherit everything I have, okay?"

After Zheng Quqi listened to his words, he was stupid.

Her first reaction was how many families a general's mansion could have, but then she woke up with another palm: "What are you talking about?"

"You like gold and silver, don't you?"

Isn't this just asking her if she likes money?

Zheng Quqi didn't think there was anything wrong with his hobby, so he said frankly, "Yes, I like money, but does it have anything to do with you?"

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and she is not a desperate person, so why should she worry about other people's inheritance?

Yu Wensheng misunderstood what she meant: "You don't like me, don't you even like my belongings?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" She frowned.

Yu Wensheng let go of her, and he looked into her eyes: "I thought you would laugh when you heard this good news, but you are not smiling now because ...... Can't you bear to let me die?"

"No!" She turned her face away.

He turned his face away, and was so naïve that he insisted that she look at him: "You have a hard mouth but a soft heart, what if you are deceived by others in the future?"

Zheng Quqi didn't know what kind of nerves he had, she didn't hide, met his eyes, and said very clearly: "I, Zheng Quchi, have only been deceived by one person in my life, don't really think that I look stupid, I'm really stupid."

Yu Wensheng opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, savored the meaning of her words, and laughed, and the more he laughed, the louder he became.

Thinking that he had just said that she could hear the laughter from the carriage, she quickly blocked his mouth: "What are you laughing at? Be quiet."

Zheng Quqi felt as if he was being ridiculed.

He didn't pull her hand away, but his fingers nimbly hooked the hem of her dress, and took out the thing hanging from her neck, his eyes darkened, and there was an incomprehensible smile on his face: "Wear it well, don't take it off for a moment, you know?"

"What the hell is wrong with you? Is your injury really that serious? Hopeless?" Zheng Quqi let go of his hand, snatched the luan bracelet back and stuffed it into his clothes.

When she saw Runtu and them mention his injury, she didn't seem to be particularly serious and worried, so she thought that his injury shouldn't be a big problem, but how could he be the same as explaining what happened after his death?

Was Runtu deliberately hiding it, or was he exaggerating to deceive her......

"yes, I'm dying, are you happy?"

I'm glad you're a big-headed ghost!

Thinking that she had witnessed the injuries on his body, this was not a lie, maybe he really felt that he was too injured and died soon, and began to give up on himself.

She didn't know how to comfort him for a while, or she couldn't do anything about his injuries.

She took a deep breath and said with a tough face: "Yu Wensheng, you know, I have no heart and no lungs, and I can get by with everything, but I have always been serious and solemn about life, maybe I am naïve and stupid, I hope for peace everywhere, hope."

Everybody can live in a place where there is no war, no killing, no life and death."

After listening to it with a strange expression, he smiled and said, "Sounds ...... It's naïve and stupid indeed."

Zheng Quqi didn't care about his poisonous tongue, how could her lofty ideals be understood by them war maniacs, she only summed up for her previous sentence: "So I would be happy that no one died, including you."

Yu Wensheng didn't feel happy because she said these words, he thought, "In this way, I am no different from other people in your heart......

Zheng Quqi just wanted to reply, but he heard a long whistle from a distance outside.

?——

?——

?、?——

She quickly got up, leaned on the window and looked out: "Yu Wensheng, it's the whistle, it's Runtu They sent a message, but it's ......."

How can it be two long and two short?

Didn't Runtu say before that if there is a situation, it will blow a short whistle three times, and the fat man also said that the whistle of three short and two long means that there is no problem, but now, it is not right, so what do these two long and two short mean?

She turned her head to look at Yu Wensheng, he raised his eyes, understood the inquiry in her eyes, and said, "Two long and two short, representing ......"

He dragged out the long tail note, Zheng Quqi couldn't wait, and asked, "What does it represent?"

Is there a third kind of whistle signal?

Yu Wensheng saw that she was really anxious, and he no longer hung her appetite, and said directly: "It means that they may have been captured by mistake, this is a whistle deliberately issued by the enemy to lure us into the bait."

Zheng Quqi looked at him with a stunned expression.

Isn't this a particularly serious matter? How could he say it in such a breezy tone?

When she looks outside now, she only feels that the grass and trees are all soldiers and dangers.

"Isn't it very dangerous for them to run the soil, is there a lot of enemies in ambush at the ferry now, what should we do now?"

Yu Wensheng took her hand, made her sit beside him, and dropped a bomb again: "Not only the ferry, but the road we came on was already full of enemies."

Zheng Quqi, who was shocked, finally calmed down: "Then aren't we flying now? No, there must be another way."

Yu Wensheng sometimes admires a kind of tenacity in her, others are more and more tense, and even collapse and break in the end, but she is the tighter she pulls and the more fierce she rebounds, and she will never give up hope.

Seeing that she was frightened and panicked, and then sought comfort from herself, Yu Wensheng casually waved away the faint loss and regret in his heart, and said, "On land, they did lay a net of heaven and earth, but in the water, they are not necessarily anymore."

As soon as Zheng Quqi heard that there was a play, her eyes lit up in vain: "Do you have any other preparations at the ferry?" But, however, if they lead their troops to stop us, how shall we rush forward?"

He stood up, took her hand, leaned over and asked, "Before, you didn't say anything, but told me to believe you, and I believed, and now I ask you, do you believe me?"

Zheng Quchi tilted her head, her expression was a little struggling, although she seemed to be easy to mingle with others and put her heart into her heart, but in fact she was not a person who would easily trust others, rather than believing in others, it was better to believe in herself.

But...... Yu Wensheng, a suspicious and vigilant person, could believe her under that situation at that time, if she didn't believe it, she would be too white-eyed wolf.

「…… Faith." She let it go.

She believed him this time, even if the letter was right, the letter was wrong, and she didn't have a chance to try it wrong a second time anyway.

Yu Wensheng smiled and reached out and touched her head, in order to commend her: "That's good."

He took off the red scarf that covered her eyes and tied them to her eyes, and in an instant, her eyes were red.

"If you're scared for a while, close your eyes and believe me, I'll definitely let you go back to Ye."

——

I got out of the carriage and there was a patch of reeds in front of me

The reeds were swamping, and the tide of the ferry rose in the spring, and the water overflowed the reed fields, and there was a large puddle of marsh in front of it, which made it inconvenient for the carriages to continue running on the wetlands.

Yu Wensheng and Zheng Quqi both got out of the carriage and walked forward slowly, only to see the water flowing eastward, the breeze blowing through the river with very fine water ripples, and the surroundings were quiet, and even the white birds that could often be seen on the beachhead were gone.

may be suspicious, Zheng Quqi always feels that in a place where he can't see, in the looming reeds and water, the ambush crowd is slowly approaching.

She nervously grasped the arm crossbow in her hand, which was not a heavy turtle crossbow that was good at long-range shots, and considering that there might be melee combat for a while, she re-opted for a lightweight version of the short arm crossbow.

"Your right hand is broken, and you're still wounded, if there's an emergency, you hide behind me, don't be impulsive." Zheng Quqi whispered to Yu Wensheng.

Yu Wensheng saw her looking around cautiously, and her body was slightly sideways in front of him, just like she thought he was a weak scholar at the beginning, and really wanted to protect him.

Yu Wensheng was happy to see her protecting himself, and he was still holding one of her hands: "Don't worry, although my right hand is broken, don't I still have my left hand?"

Left hand?

Isn't this left hand still unpracticed?

She glanced at him, and saw that Yu Wensheng at this time had put on his mask again, except for the eyebrows and lips that were smiling, the rest of the parts were buried under the mask.

"Don't be reckless, I know that I may not be able to protect you, and you may have to make a move at the critical moment, but at least use one less point of strength is one point, you save some strength first." She taught in a pure manner.

Yu Wensheng accepted well: "Okay."

The four people behind them, Huai Fat Man and Beibei, looked stupid when they looked at the relationship between the general and the general's wife.
