Chapter 3: Mid-Autumn Moon
On the morning of August 15, Lin Xi was just about to arrange a shift change for the sentinels, and Li Kun hurriedly came over.
"General, someone is looking for you."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know, it's a dozen people, wearing black cloaks, and they can't see their faces clearly, I'm afraid it's ...... The comers are not good. ”
"I'll take a look."
Outside the camp, a dozen men in black cloaks stood on either side, making way in the middle.
Although he didn't see their faces, his intuition told Lin Xi that these people were not ordinary.
Lin Xi entered the tent, and there was only one person in a black cloak inside, who seemed to be waiting for him.
"Who is Your Excellency?"
The man took off his hood, revealing the beautiful face under the hood.
"Your Excellency is Lin Xi?" Before Lin Xi could speak, the woman opened her mouth first.
"Exactly. What is Honorable? ”
"The eldest princess of Liaoguo - Yelu Guanyin."
"Celestial Princess? Disrespectful. ”
"I'm here today to ask for someone."
"Oh? Is it for the little princess? ”
"Please General Lin Xi, release the little princess and the two dozen or so guards of the Liao Kingdom." After speaking, Yelu Guanyin clapped his hands, and walked in alone with a box, and when he opened it, it was full of silver.
"This is the ransom, a thousand taels of silver."
"You should be here for those dozen or so masters of the Liao Kingdom."
"Of course, that's the elite of my Great Liao Green Wolf Academy."
"Yelu prolongs her life, her life or death won't be insignificant."
"If you think so, then I have nothing to say, even if it is."
"If I catch her, she's mine, and I don't plan to release anyone as much as I want."
"What did you say?"
"You hear me clearly."
"Dozens of masters of my Daliao are outside the tent, you have to think clearly."
Lin Xi didn't panic at all, and even sat on the chair unhurriedly, looking at Yelu Guanyin with a slight mockery.
"There are more than 1,000 soldiers in my camp, if you kill me, can you still get out?"
Yelu Guanyin smiled and did not speak.
"Also, you don't think that you people can kill me."
Guanyin shook his head and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll have a date later." ”
Yelu Guanyin came out of the tent and found that Liu Feng was waiting at the door with dozens of soldiers and surrounded the door.
"Liu Feng, the two armies are fighting, and they don't come to make it. Since they're here to talk to me, let's get them out of the customs. ”
When Liu Feng heard the order, he had to get out of the way.
Lin Xi said to Guanyinnu: "There will be a period later." ”
Guanyin smiled politely, turned his head with a calm face, and left with someone.
Liu Feng hurriedly ran over: "General, what's the matter?" I felt that these people were not good, so I gathered dozens of soldiers to wait here without asking for advice, asking the general for forgiveness. ”
"It doesn't matter."
"Who are they?"
"They are the people of the Green Wolf Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, and the leader is the eldest princess of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Guanyin."
"What?"
"She wants to ransom those masters, and those people are also from the Green Wolf Academy."
"No wonder they are so powerful, they turned out to be warriors of the Liao Kingdom."
"Looks like you're going to have to work hard again."
"Don't dare, general, please command."
"Liu Feng, you lead a hundred sergeants to the northwest of Shamen Pass, inform Li Kun, let him lead a hundred sergeants, go to the east to return to Yanshan, once a Liao person enters, immediately report to me!"
"Yes!"
"Go ahead."
Liu Feng just wanted to leave, but he didn't know what he thought, so he turned around and smiled bitterly, "General, look, it's August 15, and we can't go back to guard the border, but we also want to eat something good for a holiday, don't we?" General, look......"
Lin Xi laughed: "Haha...... Good! It's just that... We can't afford to let up today. Grant 200 of you a day off on the 16th of August. ”
When Liu Feng heard this, he immediately smiled from ear to ear: "General Xie!" ”
"I know you're tired, but guarding the border is a heavy responsibility, so don't slack off."
"Don't worry, General!"
At night, the moonlight like water is sprinkled on the earth, illuminating the sky and the earth are clear and bright, and everything looks extraordinarily beautiful and peaceful.
Yelu Yanshou lifted the curtain, but was blocked by two spears from the soldiers on the left and right.
"What are you going to do?"
"I just want to see the scenery."
"You can't go out."
"I ...... Well, then I'll just watch it here. ”
When the surroundings were quiet, only the owl occasionally cooed twice. A full moon hung high in the sky, and a layer of clear clouds floated on it, like smoke and mist, in the moonlight.
"Let her out."
"Yes." The two soldiers were ordered to remove their spears and let Yanshou out.
"You? Why are you here......"
"Mid-Autumn Festival, full moon night, who doesn't want to have a festival."
"And what do you want to do?" Yanshou has always had a faint smile on his face, and he doesn't know how much better he looks than the sad face he had been looking at a few days ago.
"Such a beautiful view, would you like to enjoy it with me?" Lin Xichao smiled indifferently at Yanshou, as if he knew what was going on in her heart.
Yanshou nodded, and the smile on his face seemed to be a little brighter.
Under the moon, the two sat on a small dirt slope, and there was still a jar of wine in the middle.
"You know what? Your sister has been here. ”
"Guanyin? What did she come to do? ”
She ...... She wants to redeem you. ”
"Don't lie to me, I believe he is for the twenty or so Liao warriors."
"Your relationship...... It doesn't seem to be very good either. ”
"Sort of. Okay, how happy it is to have a holiday, don't talk about her. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it. Hey, you Liao people, also have the Mid-Autumn Festival? ”
"Still, so...... I thought about coming to Song Realm to have a look, but I didn't expect ......"
Lin Xi smiled helplessly, "That's my mistake." ”
"No, no, no...... Didn't ......" Yanshou shrank to the other side when he heard this, as if he was frightened.
"I'm that scary."
"No...... It's not ......"
"Okay, I'm not a hooligan, what are you afraid of, drink!" As he spoke, Lin Xi poured another bowl of wine for Yanshou.
"Hmm." Yanshou blushed, tilted his neck and drank it all.
Lin Xi said and took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve: "By the way, it's a holiday, I'll give you something small." ”
"This ...... What is it? Yanshou took the cloth bag and didn't open it immediately.
"Let's open it and take a look." After Lin Xi finished speaking, Yanshou curiously reached out to untie the cloth bag.
Inside the cloth bag were two things, a white jade bracelet and a gold necklace.
Yanshou covered his mouth and looked at Lin Xi with some surprise.
"You...... Where did you get it? ”
"I asked someone to go to Cangzhou to buy it during the day, although it can't catch up with the luxury in your palace, but it's barely enough. Do you like it? ”
"Hmm...... Well! Loved ......"
"If you like it, take it."
Got the unexpected joy of longevity, and when wearing the necklace, longevity found that there was a pendant in front.
"This pendant...... What's engraved? ”
"Peony. I originally wanted to buy you a phoenix pendant, but when I asked, the phoenix people didn't dare to carve it, so I could only buy you a peony flower. ”
"Peony flowers? What does that mean? ”
"Peony flowers, that is, gorgeous, rich."
"Oh--that, thank you."
"You're welcome."
"You...... Why did you send me this? ”
"Didn't you say we're friends?"
"We ...... Are you a friend? "Life extension looks a little happy.
"Of course."
“…… Well! Thank you! While prolonging his life and being happy, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
"Oops...... Don't cry, I won't coax a girl. ”
"Mmmm, I didn't cry, I was happy." Yanshou nodded, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes by the way.
"If you want to go back, I'll let you go back at any time."
"I don't want to go back."
Lin Xi smiled: "Okay, if you don't go back, you won't go back." ”
At this time, Yanshou took out her jade pendant from her body, and said with great determination: "You have something to give me, and I don't have anything else, I... I'm giving this to you...... I hope you can protect it well. ”
Lin Xi lowered his head, and suddenly felt some heat in his cheeks, "This...... Okay, I'll take it, thank you, I'll take care of it. ”
"Hmm...... If you don't look ugly, you can take it. ”
"Well, it's not ugly." Lin Xi took it directly.
The two drank under the moon for I don't know how long, how long they talked, and drank until the two jars of wine that Lin Xi brought were all drunk, and then he fell asleep drunk.
Lin Xi's amount of wine was a little better, but it took a lot of effort to carry the longevity back into the account. He went back to his tent in a daze, and fell asleep.
Day 2......
Lin Xi suddenly woke up from the bed: "My God, how long have I been asleep?" ”
Lin Xi came out of the tent and found that the sun was already hanging overhead.
"Oh my god, I slept until noon."
"Eh, General, you're finally awake!"
"Liu Feng? What's wrong? Something happened at the border? ”
"No, no, the border was very calm yesterday. I'll come back early this morning and see that you're asleep, General, so I'll take it upon myself to arrange for a change of sentry or something. Who knows if you've slept until now. But it's good that you're up, General, and I'll be relieved. ”
"Harm, I'm fine, I just drank a little too much yesterday, it's fine."
"General, you've never been drunk before......"
Lin Xi just smiled and didn't speak.
"General, when I was just inspecting the camp, I saw that Yelu Yanshou, and she said that you allowed her to come out, what is going on?"
"I gave her permission to come out and walk around the camp."
"But this ...... Why? ”
"Don't ask, just say it's my order."
"Haha, General, I seem to understand something...... Isn't it true that you're having a holiday with her? ”
Lin Xi nodded, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth.
"Hey--General, I haven't seen you wear a jade pendant before? Hiss...... It's so familiar......" Liu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Isn't this the jade pendant that Yelu prolongs his life!" ”
"Yes, it's hers."
"Oh...... If you don't ask, don't ask, I'm afraid you'll beat me up if you ask again. ”
"Boy, I'm going to beat you up right now!"
