In the chaos, there was a crisp sound of "pa", and the faces of the hungry people in front of them were red and swollen, and they staggered and paused.
"Do you want to eat?" Changsuo swept over from the porch of the people's house opposite the camp gate, and with a few whips, forced the people in front to retreat again and again, and before the crowd could react, the voice was a series of He continued, "The grain will be delivered in three days! By then, everyone will be able to distribute one hundred catties of wheat!"
When the sound fell, the long rope rolled around the lintel of the gate, and a figure in red landed lightly and delicately in the middle of the field, with his hips on his hips and scolded softly.
"Liar!" The crowd froze, and then the leader yelled again, "Who are you? A bitch is talking such big things!—Do you think we are fools?"
"Crack!" Before the words were finished, the man was whipped violently and fell backwards.
"Bah! How dare you doubt what this girl said? Yutang Jin's family is rich all over the world, can't they feed a mere Yecheng?" Longsuo entangled the troublemaker like a spirit snake, and beat him out. The woman in red with tight sleeves Looking around coldly, the whip in his hand crackled in the air, "I said the food will arrive in three days, so it will definitely arrive!"
"Yutang Jin's family..." The name obviously aroused a lot of excitement among the common people. Everyone began to look at the woman in red in amazement and whispered to each other.
"As expected... His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince married a young lady from the Yutang Jin family?"
"Really? Don't spread rumors to deceive us again..."
"It can't be fake—look at the viciousness of this woman! Girl Jinwu, isn't that the case?"
"I heard that her father, Sea King, is richer than any emperor on land... This is great!"
Prince Xueya looked at the whispering crowd around him, and looked at Jin Bihui with a wry smile—after such a fierce dispute in the morning, he almost forcibly endured the urge to break up with her. However, at this moment, he knew even better that today's Ye City and the Prince's Army cannot do without her.
"Really...really three days later?" Finally, the leader got up from the ground and asked in surprise—it was obvious that Jin Bihui hadn't really used his whip just now, otherwise the sallow-faced starving man would have died. Gone.
Jin Bihui nodded impatiently: "If you can't, I'll behead you!" The whip was wrapped around her arm, and the honey-colored healthy complexion reflected the inch-thick soft whip. With a smile: "Chop off my head!"
The crowd paused a little awkwardly, looked at each other hesitantly, and the resentment finally dissipated a little.
"Thank you."
The crowd dispersed, and standing in Yingkou, Yan Bai finally said something softly, looking at his new wife with complicated eyes.
Jin Bihui snorted: "If you want to thank, thank Sister Wuchen! If I didn't sell her face, I wouldn't bother to take care of your affairs..." As if the anger hadn't dissipated, she whipped the ground with a soft whip resentfully, and raised it all over the sky. fly dust.
However, none of the dust fell on the woman on the street corner. The Crown Princess came to Yingkou at some point, and stood quietly at the street corner, looking at them and smiling. The air is high and elegant, and the dust is elegant. In a place where mobs gathered just a moment ago, there is no fear at all.
Prince Xueya's eyes dimmed for a moment, but before he could say anything, the princess bowed slightly, turned around and left.
Jin Bihui lowered his head, bit the corner of his mouth, and drew messy symbols on the ground with his whip. After a long pause, he quickly said a few words. However, there was no response from Yan Bai for a long time. She looked up at her husband angrily: "Hey, he was talking to you, did you hear me?!"
Prince Xueya was still looking in the direction of the street corner, only to come back to his senses when he heard his wife's loud yelling, his brows were imperceptibly wrinkled, and he asked softly, "What did you just say?"
Jin Bihui was furious, he stamped his feet suddenly, raised his hand and whipped him in the face. Yan Bai saw the coming situation, and neither raised his hand nor dodged - as expected, the whip just touched his shoulder and landed, making a heavy mark on the ground.
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it!——you're so mad at me!"
Prince Xueya looked at her inexplicably and got angry again, the woman in red snorted heavily, turned and left. Frowning, he didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he took Shen Tiexin to the Central Army Camp.
However, Vice General Shen, who has always been dissatisfied with the new concubine, made an exception this time and did not open his mouth to complain. He pressed his sword and walked with his head bowed. After a long while, he suddenly said with emotion: "Actually, he is quite a good person..."
"What did you say?" Yan Bai turned around in surprise and asked the lieutenant beside him.
Shen Tiexin paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "The Seventh Highness really didn't hear it? - No wonder the princess was annoyed, it would be difficult for her to say this kind of thing a second time..."
Prince Xueya was startled, stopped, and asked: "What did she say?"
"The concubine said just now: She was angry for a while in the morning, and her words were too hurtful, but I hope you don't mind." Shen Tiexin also repeated it awkwardly, and suddenly laughed, "Your Highness, you didn't see the concubine just now?" Coy—I don’t know how much effort it took to say this sentence, but if you want her to say it a second time, it’s no wonder she isn’t angry.”
Yan Bai looked at the welt mark on the ground, wondering what to think, and smiled after a long time: "Ah... so? It's really hard for her."
"Actually, Miss Jin's family is quite a nice woman." Apparently because of the scene just now, Shen Tiexin changed his words, and looked at His Highness Seventh Highness with some relief, only to find that he was still a little dazed.
At night, the wind is even stronger, blowing on the body is like a knife.
The guards guarding the night on the female wall were already shivering from the cold, stomping each other's feet non-stop, but the warm air they exhaled had dissipated before it touched the cold hands. Under the cold moon, only the sound of the golden watchman resounded coldly.
In the dark night, I saw a figure like a jumping pill, running from the enemy camp below the city without touching the ground, and climbed up to the top of the Ye city wall without making a sound. The strong wind made the big flag on the city flutter, like a sail full of wind, and the flagpole was bent. The man grabbed the flag with one hand, and then fell to the city without a sound.
Just as the guarding soldiers walked away on patrol, the man jumped off the parapet without taking the steps, fell into the city, and went straight to the place where the Chinese army was located.
"Are you back?" However, just after falling into the courtyard of the Chinese military camp, someone asked softly.
The man was startled suddenly, stood still, and turned his head to look—
The moonlight was very cold, and it made the woman standing under the corridor in the courtyard even colder without a speck of dust. She seemed to have been waiting in the garden late at night for a long time, so that her temples were covered with frost. The wind was blowing fiercely. Standing in the moonlight, she could only hear her soft sigh floating in the wind: "Oh...you always take risks like this, so why not?"
The visitor's hands trembled slightly, and he put the things in his hands under the flowers: "Don't scare you—"
However, under the moonlight, the princess suddenly laughed and shook her head: "Why are you afraid of the head of a loyal minister and martyr? Seventh brother, you really underestimate me." She walked over and held up the blood-stained head , with a dignified expression: "I will definitely have a grand funeral in another day, and I will live up to General Yang's blood."
"It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" Under the moon, Prince Xueya in white asked in a low voice, speechless for a while. Among the millions of soldiers who rushed for hundreds of miles, even Yan Bai, who was superb in martial arts, had a tired face that couldn't be concealed.
"Knowing that you will definitely not leave your brother's body behind and go out to take risks in the middle of the night, I don't feel at ease." Changsun Wuchen said quietly, "I want to watch you come back here. Every time you leave, I worry about whether you will go or not." back."
Yan Bai lowered his head, didn't look into her eyes, and just said indifferently: "Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety in my heart: if I go back and forth alone in the dark at night, I'm sorry King Yonglin can't trap me."
The Crown Princess smiled suddenly: "Yeah... With your skill, where can you go in the world? If it wasn't for assisting Chengde, why bother to support until now—Seventh Brother, in fact, you are already very bitter and tired, right?"
Prince Xueya seemed to be slowly comprehending her words, but it took a long time before he raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "Fortunately, if someone knows the suffering, then it is not suffering..." His smile was very faint, even submerged in the dust between his brows. However, the emotions and sadness in the corners of the eyes and brows are far away and endless.
The eldest grandson Wuchen looked at him steadily, and suddenly there was a light in his eyes. After a long time, he said slowly: "Perhaps, if you were the crown prince appointed by the former emperor, then Liguo is now—"
"Wuchen!" Suddenly, Yan Bai's voice cut off her, coldly without a trace of hesitation, "Don't say any more useless words—it was your father who was the one who made the emperor's brother the crown prince, and you became the crown prince... It's a pity Later, the fate of the country weakened, and you were displaced, otherwise, today you would be the mother of the world."
He paused, then suddenly smiled: "I was born five years later than Brother Huang, no matter how you say it, I will always fall behind him—the only exception is that I knew you before him... But that's another What's the use?"
Princess Changsun lowered her head, and after a long time, she said softly: "It's been seven years... Now, now you are also a concubine."
Prince Xueya's complexion changed, and an unknown look flashed by, as if the red-clothed woman's saucy smile flashed before his eyes, but the loneliness in his eyes was even stronger, and he sighed tiredly: "Yes, There's no way... is there? I'm willing to marry her. "
"Bai, you have worked so hard..." Suddenly, tears welled up in Changsun Wuchen's eyes, she blurted out the unfamiliar name, and reached out tremblingly to touch the frost on his temples, "We, we It was all really hard work.”
