Chapter 42: Xiao Li's Clan

Behind the peace and quietness is that there are a number of soldiers stationed at the border to protect the family and the country and protect the safety of the people.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yunya has been on the expedition for a while, and this time he has learned a lot from the soldiers who have been stationed at the border all year round with Min Shizi on the border of Dongjun Kingdom.

He had to sigh that talking on paper is really child's play, and some things can only be seen on the battlefield.

After they arrived at the border, the soldiers of the Northern Wild Goose attacked once, and after being repulsed by the army led by them, there was no sound, and the 60,000 army was at the border, and one more day of delay would consume several more carts of grain.

Min Shizi also felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and sent an official to make peace a few days ago, wanting to test the intentions of the officials of Beiyan.

But the officials sent to negotiate peace have never returned, and the Beiyanxiang City is difficult to attack, and the terrain is steep, and they do not dare to act rashly.

The two sides are at a stalemate, and things are tricky.

Emperor Yongzhen of Beiyan died three years ago, and Ning Yuqiao, the king of the county, supported Emperor Yongzhen's youngest son Ning Yin, to ascend to the throne.

Ning Yuqiao is both righteous and evil, and the world's evaluation of him is ...... He's a traitor.

Ning Yuqiao supported Emperor Ning Yin to ascend the throne and became a regent above 10,000 people under one person.

Beiyan's government and military power are all in his hands, and the affairs of Beiyan must be approved by him before they can be implemented, this person is smart and cunning, and he is a difficult character to deal with.

Xiao Yunya vaguely felt that Beiyan had harassed the border of Dongjun Country many times, and this matter had something to do with him.

The border environment is harsh, with long days and short nights, very hot days and very cold nights.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up the yellow sand on the ground, and Xiao Yunya raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose to prevent the yellow sand from entering his nose.

A round of golden sun hung in the sky, the weather was very hot, Xiao Yunya had just come down from the city wall, and the heavy iron armor on his body was hot from the sun.

The airtight iron armor sticks to the body, and the heat is unbearable. Xiao Yunya took off the helmet on his head and raised his hand to block the scorching sun above his head, and a gust of wind carried the heat of the sun.

When the soldiers patrolling the city saw Xiao Yunya, they stopped their pace and greeted him.

"Vice Admiral Xiao. ”

Xiao Yunya glanced up and let out a soft "um".

The soldiers went on patrol again.

Xiao Yunya's originally white skin was tanned by the border sun, his complexion was a healthy wheat color, and sweat ran down his cheeks, adding a bit more manly at a glance.

A message has just come to me that the Lord will have something to discuss with you.

He walked in the direction of the tent, outside which stood two soldiers. He took a step forward and was about to lift the curtain of his tent when one of them stopped him.

The soldier squinted at Xiao Yunya, and said in a stiff tone: "The general is discussing important matters with the generals inside, you wait for a while before going in." ”

Xiao Yunya frowned and didn't say much. He took out the token from his bosom to prove his identity and put it in front of the soldier's eyes.

"I'm also a general, and it's General Min who sent a message to me to go back to the tent to discuss important matters. ”

In the army, everyone called Min Yi General Min.

The soldier at the door of the tent glanced at the token in his hand, still blocking him. It's still the same sentence as Fang Cai: "It's all said, the general is discussing important matters with the generals inside, and you will go in later." At this time, even if the king of heaven comes, he will not let go. ”

The soldier's tone was a little disdainful, and he continued: "What's more, you're just a little general, what are you doing here!"

Another soldier took his words and sneered: "This partial general is not stained with the light of General Min! Without General Min, you are nothing!"

Xiao Yunya held the token tightly in his hand, and the corners of his palms were painful.

A cloud of anger slowly gathered in his eyebrows, and he said with a cold face: "Which general are you under it?" ”

The two soldiers didn't look at him in the slightest, and one pressed him to his chest and pushed him aside.

"Let's go, please go to the side, we're busy, we don't have time to take care of you. ”

Xiao Yunya's body didn't move at all, his hand was on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and the green tendons on his hand were beating again and again.

Furious like a beast about to break through its cage, suddenly his hand let go and turned to his tent

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, first the rejection and disgust of various generals for him, and then now he has to inch in, and even the soldiers are rude to him.

Article 1 of the military regulations: It is forbidden for soldiers and generals to fight in private, and violators will be kicked out of the barracks.

For the sake of these people, it's not worth it. One day, he will use his military exploits to impress those who look down on him.

His eyes flashed across his eyes with the faces of his sister and mother. The anger in Xiao Yunya's heart slowly subsided, and only by making military exploits on the battlefield can he give his mother and sister a better life.

In the end, a young woman's face came to his mind, as delicate as a freshly blooming begonia flower, it was Ning Yilan.

The woman was still waiting for him in the capital, waiting for him to go back and marry her.

He put his right hand on his chest, and these were the things that motivated him to keep going.

The thrush is singing in its cage, its voice is loud and crisp, and its head is slightly tilted to look out the window.

Xiao Yunmi sat at the desk by the window, which was lined with colorful paints and a few brushes for painting.

The girl looked attentive, picked up the brush and drew for a while, and then stopped to study the painting seriously.

There is a fan on the table, on which is blooming a silver-red peony that blooms just right, the green leaves are contrasting, and the peony is bordered with silver lines, which contains a different kind of beauty in wanton publicity.

The ink on the painting had not yet dried, and Xiao Yunmi held the brush in his hand and gently swayed it in the brush wash, and the red pigment gently rippled in the white background of the brush wash.

Wash the brush and put the pen away. Pick up the fan on the table and place it on the windowsill, and let the warm sunlight dry the ink on it.

The originally spacious yard was filled with many pots of orchids, with many different varieties, including some rare ones.

There are precious black orchids and rare jade orchids, and many varieties that she has never seen before.

These were moved to her yard by her brother before the expedition, and the brother asked her to take care of these flowers on his behalf, and she went to Jingzhou for more than half a month, and no one took care of these flowers for several days. Probably because of the recent rains, none of these flowers have withered, and they are all vibrant.

There are more of these flowers in the yard, and it looks much more vibrant.

Xiao Yunmi leaned against the window, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a white orchid quietly opening in the yard, the leaves were cyan and the flower bones were snow-white, like an elegant jade boy, and the breeze drifted through the orchid fragrance and refreshed people's hearts.

Xiaoyun had an idea, and saw that the paint on the fan was almost dry, and turned the fan over.

Pick up a brush and dip it in the cyan paint pan to paint on the other side.

Just as she was happy to paint, there was a noise in the courtyard.

"Madame...... Madame, Madame and Miss are resting. ”

"Don't stop me, get out of the way!"

"You little girl, you are just a subordinate! Who gave you the courage to dare to stop Madame!"

......

Xiaoyun slammed the brush on the table with a snap and rubbed his swollen eyebrows.

This voice belongs to Xiao Li's, presumably knowing the news of his brother's expedition.

She stood up, straightened her dress, and walked out.

Xiao Li took Mother Li at the gate of the courtyard and wanted to break in, but was stopped by Ning Zi.

When Xiao Yun came out, she saw Mother Li rolling up her sleeves and waving her hand to hit Ning Zi in the face, but Ning Zi didn't dare to fight back because of Xiao Li's identity. Close your eyes and be mentally prepared to take this slap.

Xiao Yunmi pursed the corners of her mouth, strode forward, and grabbed Li's mother's hand.

A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and her tone was as cold as ice: "My small courtyard is not a place for you shrewd to go wild. She slammed Li's mother's hand.

Mother Li was shocked by her eyes and couldn't help but take a step back.

Xiao Li was not afraid of her, and took advantage of this gap to get into the courtyard.

She stood in front of Xiao Yunmi, clutching her arms tightly, her nails digging into her flesh.

Xiao Li's face turned pale, he had a good time in the village these days, and his spirit was much better than before.

She was plainly dressed, with several old silver hairpins in her bun. There were a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and she looked nervous and said, "What about Yunya? He said that he went to see me for a while, why didn't he come all the time?" The people in the mansion said that he went to the battlefield, do you tell me if this is true?"

Xiao Yunmi's face was as usual, lowered his eyelids, and said slowly: "Brother, he has something to go out for a while, and he will come back after a while." ”

Xiao Li would not believe this, shaking Xiao Yunmi's arm.

The expression was close to madness: "You! It's all you! You killed my husband, and you want to kill my son!"

Xiao Yunmi was shaken by her and took a step back, her body trembling.

At Shangxiao Li's tearful eyes, the flowers choked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

Her voice was hoarse: "Mother, it was my brother's own idea to go to the battlefield, he was not a child, he had his own ideas and things he wanted to stick to. ”

Ning Zi saw that Mrs. was so kind to Miss, and anxiously went to block in front of Xiao Yunmi, frowning and said, "Madame......"

Xiao Li's health was not good, and his emotions fluctuated too much, so he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Xiao Yunmi's eyes quickly caught her, and when Li's mother saw Xiao Li fainting, she was at a loss and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you!"

Xiao Yunmi handed Xiao Li into the hands of Li's mother and asked Li's mother to help her back to the room.

After Mother Li helped Xiao Li away, she turned to Ning Zi and said, "Go and ask for a doctor." ”

Ning Zi knew that Xiao Yunmi cared about Mrs., but she saw that Mrs. was so kind to her own young lady just now, and she was not worthy of Miss in her heart.

"Miss..."

Xiao Yun glanced at her, seemed to know what she was thinking, was silent for a moment, and said: "No matter what, she is the mother of me and my brother, and my brother asked me to take care of my mother before leaving, since I agreed, I must do a good job." ”

Ning Zi bent down and clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes, miss." Then she turned and walked to the door, where she was going to the infirmary to ask for a doctor.
