During the winter season, the night is always dark.
Before falling asleep, Rong Xi still felt particularly uncomfortable deep in her throat.
Coupled with the crying and crying just now, there was a slight burning sensation and a little pain.
She begged Mu Huai to let her drink some water, and Mu Huai gave it to her with his own lips, but Rong Xi felt that it was not enough, she endured the thirst and pain, and only quietly went down to find tea after the man beside her was asleep in the middle of the night drink.
Rong Xi felt sore in his heart.
Mu Huai was really a bully tonight.
Rong Xi lit a candle on the crested mahogany candlestick, and there was a faint light in the bedroom.
After Rong Xi drank a few sips of clear water, when he turned back, he could just see himself in the mirror with slightly scattered black hair and swollen eyes.
She walked slowly towards the mirror stand, and covered the thick redness on her neck|neck with her hands, obviously she had begged him not to leave traces here again.
But Mu Huai would lose his mind from time to time, and naturally forget all her requests.
Rong Xi took out the stasis-removing ointment that Ye Yunlan specially prepared for her, and silently wiped it on the red and purple spot. Thinking of Mu Huai's tricks on her today, for a moment, she wished that this person would never come back and die. It's good in Jin country.
Thinking about it, Rong Xi was suddenly taken aback by his own thoughts.
If Mu Huai is really dead...
Rong Xi didn't dare to think about it any further, she kept saying "That's all, that's all."
On the left, however, he is also a person who is going to go to war, with his head hanging on his waist, and then the prince general, once he enters the barracks, the living conditions are extremely difficult.
Rong Xi gradually calmed down, every time after spending time with Mu Huai, she would always quietly drink the Bizi decoction, but today her throat was really uncomfortable, and the thought of those extremely bitter concoctions entering her throat made her feel even more unbearable .
She decided not to drink this child-avoiding medicine tonight.
After a while, it should be fine.
Then he tiptoed back to the bed, and was about to walk past Mu Huai carefully, but found that he had already been awakened by her.
Rong Xi was afraid that Mu Huai would get angry if he didn't sleep well, so he didn't dare to take a breath.
Mu Huai didn't get up, his low and mellow voice still concealed his deep drowsiness, and he asked, "What did you do just now?"
Rong Xi caressed her throat, and said with difficulty: "Nu... Nu..."
Hearing her faltering, her usual soft and waxy voice was slightly hoarse, Mu Huai recalled everything that happened tonight, and his heart felt like it had been gouged out, and the feeling was unspeakable.
Obviously the person next to her was a soft and soft little girl, delicate and fragile like a small flower bone swaying in the wind.
He should have felt pity for her.
But in actual action, it is as vile as a thorny hand.
Unexpectedly, there will always be evil thoughts and desires to bully the weak.
Mu Huai tried to restrain this kind of thoughts many times, but even with restraint, Rong Xi was still bullied into such a miserable appearance.
—"Go to sleep, since your throat is uncomfortable, you don't need to answer."
Mu Huai's voice was faintly helpless, and then he embraced the slightly stunned girl beside him, smelling the fragrance of her body and skin deeply, and said in an inaudible voice: "I won't treat you like this again in the future... "
*****
The wind is cold, and the deep winter is about to pass, and the army of Qi State has returned victorious.
Emperor Zhuang's parent and son, also General Long Xiang, Mu Huai, was originally used as a support for the rear army to escort food and grass.
But no one thought that Mu Huai would make a risky move, and this risky move he made was the key to the Qi army's victory.
Li Rui knew that Jin State had a natural danger that was difficult to attack and easy to defend. He originally estimated in his heart that with Da Qi's national strength, there was a 70% chance of winning the capital of Jin State, but the attack would take at least six months, so the support army and Food and grass must be sufficient.
But Mu Huai's seemingly risky move greatly shortened the time for the Qi army to attack the city.
It turned out that after Li Rui's army arrived at the border of Qi State and set up camp, while he was still rectifying the morale of the army and watching the movements of the Jin army, Mu Huai ordered the two deputy generals accompanying the army to take most of the food and grass to the Qi army camp .
On the other hand, he brought 500 of the most elite soldiers among the 20,000 soldiers, and ventured across the extremely dangerous Mount Ji, which is located on the border between Qi and Jin.
Mu Huai had already memorized the map of Jin Kingdom by heart. Although it was his first time to lead troops into battle, because he was born with a majestic and domineering demeanor, the soldiers under him also sincerely obeyed and surrendered to him.
The hundreds of soldiers he led were all hot-blooded youths, Mu Huai didn't put on airs of a prince, he ate and lived with them along the way, and became one with them, the morale of the troops who followed him was extremely strong.
It only took the seemingly impossible three days to cross Jishan Mountain, and under the guidance of Mu Huai, none of the five hundred soldiers was lost.
After arriving in the country of Ji, Mu Huai led the soldiers to rest, and tried to make them pretend to be a caravan from Maine, and stayed in the capital for a few days.
After finding out the layout of the Jin Palace, Mu Huai ordered the soldiers to regroup and attack the palace at night during the curfew in Jindu.
The first reason is that the Jin Palace is not strictly guarded, and the second is that the monarch of the Jin Kingdom has always believed that the Qi army is still at the border, and it is impossible to let hundreds of thousands of troops cross the dangerous Jishan Mountain within a month.
Who would have thought that Mu Huai, who was on his first expedition, led the elite troops to cross the border first.
There are roughly 3,000 imperial guards in the palace, and they only wear spears on weekdays, because it is not appropriate to wear armor all day long in front of the emperor. The Imperial Forest Army of the Jin Kingdom wore cloth face armor, which could not resist the ruthless sword at all.
Mu Huai's handsome appearance is that of Zhilan Yushu, but with such a gentleman's appearance, he is brave and savage when he kills his enemies. In the flames of the imperial palace, he looks like a Shura God of War who came out of hell.
The pair of deep eyes under his pocket made the imperial guards intimidated, and dozens of them surrounded him, none of them were his opponents at all.
Before the imperial army with arrow feathers arrived, Mu Huai rushed to the palace of the monarch of Jin Kingdom with his troops, picked him up from the bed, and took him as a hostage.
Almost all the troops of Jin State were stationed at the border, and Mu Huai coerced the monarch of Jin State, making him send a letter of surrender to Qi State with trembling arms under the panicked eyes of his favorite concubine.
When Li Rui learned about it, he couldn't help being surprised.
However, it is an indisputable fact that Mu Huai led only 500 soldiers to allow the monarch of Jin Kingdom to surrender.
After Li Rui led his army into the territory of Jin State in a unpredictable way, he occupied the capital of Qi State.
On the day when the Qi army returned victorious, although Emperor Zhuang coughed up blood, he was extremely excited.
Naturally, Rong Xi also heard about Mu Huai's illustrious military exploits in Quyun Palace, thinking that he should return today, his heart throbbed non-stop.
Bianjing is clear and snowy for the first time this day, rime hangs on the branches outside the window, and the air is full of the coldness of cold plum blossoms.
Mu Huai's Xuanguang armor was covered with blood-stained knife marks, when he saw the woman in the palace, he patiently wanted to hug her up, pulled the corners of his lips to her, and said: "Why are your eyes so straight, are you looking stupid? Go prepare water and wait for the Lord to take a bath."
For some reason, Rong Xi's eyes began to turn sore, she resisted the desire to cry, and nodded.
After Rong Xi bathed and washed the man's hair familiarly, she felt a little fortunate in her heart. Fortunately, when he came back, her face was uncovered and she was beautiful.
There was a light green stubble on Mu Huai's chin, and Rong Xi carefully shaved it off. He couldn't rest in Quyun Palace for too long, so he was going to Zirui Palace to attend the celebration banquet.
After he changed into the Yuebai banquet clothes and tied his hair with a sapphire crown, his demeanor was nothing like the ruthless and brave god of war that the palace people had told him about. On the contrary, he looked like the admirable and noble prince in her impression.
Bright and beautiful, lonely and handsome.
Rong Xi thought, Mu Huai is an excellent hero.
Although he had always been domineering and domineering towards her, after getting along extremely intimately day and night, she still developed feelings for him that she shouldn't have.
Especially after not seeing each other for a long time, the feeling became stronger and stronger.
Today's dusk is very beautiful, with a warm orange light, and I don't know if there are too many charcoal fires burning in the hall, but Rong Xi's heart is also warm.
Mu Huai hugged her and sat on the Arhat's bed.
Rong Xi felt that there was a white light flashing in front of his eyes, and clusters of fireworks burst into his chaotic mind, and after bursts of cracking sounds, he was overwhelmed with joy.
Mu Huai's clothes were still neat and tidy, but she slumped on his shoulder, like a kitten that only ate fresh fish, satisfied and obedient.
Seeing her like this, Mu Huai couldn't help laughing, if she couldn't stand it for a while, what a pitiful appearance she would turn into after nightfall.
Then he whispered jokingly: "I'll have more dinner later, and I'll feed you well after I return to the palace from the banquet."
The sides of Rong Xi's ears were itchy, she had little strength, and she was always prone to fatigue recently.
His cheeks couldn't be any more red.
Mu Huai's tone was actually a bit gentle, Rong Xi thought, tonight he will treat Mu Huai as a lover for the last time, and she is a reckless elopement girl.
Just one day like this is fine, on this day she allows herself to sink into this dewy love affair that seems fruitless at first glance.
Tomorrow, she will be that calm and sober Aunt Rong again, she will only have the loyalty of a servant to Mu Huai, and will no longer show any affection for a woman.
One day will be fine.
The corners of Rong Xi's lips twitched slightly, her voice was a little sweeter than usual, she leaned on Mu Huai's shoulder, and whispered back: "Well, this servant is waiting for His Highness to come back."
