Hua Qingxue didn't have any more headaches after waking up.
Because there is a wound on my neck, I can't speak too loudly. It will be very painful if I pull the wound.
In addition, there are some bruises on his elbows, waist and legs, which were injured when Qi Liancheng threw him off his horse.
She was recuperating in Fu Tingye's camp. Some craftsmen familiar with the weapons supervisor came to visit her one after another. Hua Qingxue smiled gently and repeatedly said that she was fine.
When Fu Tingye came back, it was inconvenient for everyone to stay, so they resigned with a wink.
Fu Tingye came over and skillfully raised her face to check the bruise on her forehead.
Originally it was just a bump, but now after two days of care, there are almost no traces.
"When the storm subsides, I will take you back to the city." He said, letting go of Hua Qingxue, and turned around to pour a cup of tea.
Hua Qingxue sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Fu Tingye's back, and asked softly: "Uncle Liu... did something happen?"
Fu Tingye paused slightly while pouring water.
He turned around, handed the cup of tea to Hua Qingxue, and said lightly: "Did the craftsman from the weapons supervisor tell you?"
There were so many people talking. Maybe he spilled the beans when he came to visit her? He originally didn't want her to know about this...
Hua Qingxue took the tea cup, lowered her eyes and watched the light green tea sloshing on the wall of the white porcelain cup, and whispered: "Everyone came to see me, except for Liu Tiejiang, who seemed to be deliberately avoiding me when he spoke. …”
Although she did not witness how Liu Tiejiang was kidnapped by Qi Lianqing last night, she clearly remembered that Liu Tiejiang was also on horseback at that time. The Liao soldier who captured him was shot to death by Fu Tingye with an arrow, and Liu Tiejiang fell to the ground... But, and after
Hua Qingxue bit her lip and looked up at Fu Tingye, "Was he... kidnapped by Qi Liancheng?"
Fu Tingye was slightly startled, "Do you know that person?"
Hua Qingxue nodded, "When we were in Renqiu, he gave me the clothes of the Liao soldiers when we left the city."
Fu Tingye understood that Qi Liancheng's provocative behavior when he left turned out to be a grudge.
"He will not let Uncle Liu go." Hua Qingxue recalled the various atrocities committed by the Liao soldiers in Renqiu City, and her eyes couldn't help but feel sour, "Uncle Liu will die..."
Fu Tingye wanted to comfort her, but he was clumsy and said dryly: "The world is unpredictable, don't think too much, heal your injuries first..."
She knew that things were impermanent, and she also knew that there was nothing she could do about it, but... she still couldn't help but wonder, why did things turn out like this
If she had never taught him the folding and forging method at the beginning, Uncle Liu would not have died... He would still be in Panshui City, living a normal and stable life as an honest and upright old blacksmith.
Tears welled up and flowed down his chin, wetting the skirt of his clothes.
Fu Tingye was at a loss and didn't know how to coax her, "Don't cry..."
"I know I shouldn't think like this..." Hua Qingxue wiped away her tears, which still kept falling, "Even if I don't teach him, I will teach it to other craftsmen in the Ordnance Supervision, including Blacksmith Li, Blacksmith Zhang, Blacksmith Wang... Something will always happen to someone, and I just... I just can't help it... feel uncomfortable... "
Such a living person was taken away like this, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Hua Qingxue didn't need to think about it to guess how the Liao soldiers would torture him! In order to get the folding forging method, they will not show mercy!
She felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't stop crying.
Fu Tingye panicked and stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, but his hand was too strong and the tender skin on Hua Qingxue's cheek turned red. The general hesitated and did not dare to do it again.
"Don't cry..." He sighed helplessly and anxiously, feeling increasingly resentful towards Qi Liancheng.
This man is really cunning. Not only can he speak Daqi Mandarin, but he is also good at imitating local accents. He actually deceived all the people guarding the camp and sneaked into the camp with two "unconscious" Liao soldiers. This shows that he is not only cunning Versatile and extremely courageous.
"General..." Hua Qingxue sobbed a few times, "Can I... stay by myself for a while..."
Fu Tingye was silent and said in a deep voice, "I'm right outside. Call me if you need anything."
Hua Qingxue lowered her head and said "hmm" in a low voice.
…
Qin Laowu passed by the general's camp and couldn't help but take another look.
what happened
Why is the general standing outside? Could it be that...she was kicked out by Miss Hua
Tsk tsk tsk, before we even get married, we are already henpecked!
Qin Laowu's lewd look was noticed by Fu Tingye and he glanced at him coldly.
Qin Laowu quickly shrank his neck, smiled and walked away.
Fu Tingye withdrew his gaze and stood silently outside the camp.
He was worried that Hua Qingxue would become depressed because of this.
Fu Tingye knew very well that although Hua Qingxue could make powerful weapons, in the final analysis she was just a woman, and... a weak and sensitive woman.
She is kind, peaceful, and a bit ignorant like a child. It's not at all as fierce and powerful as the outside rumors say.
Even if an ordinary person was killed, Hua Qingxue would feel uncomfortable, let alone that person was Liu Tiejiang.
When teaching the folding forging method, Tiejiang Liu almost respected Hua Qingxue as his master. The two had close contacts, sometimes even just trying a single detail in the workshop hundreds of times.
Hua Qingxue had praised Tiejiang Liu for his enthusiasm and perseverance in forging in front of Fu Tingye several times. Now that Tiejiang Liu was in trouble because of this forging method, Hua Qingxue would definitely feel sad.
Fu Tingye was wandering outside the camp. He hesitated and wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't think of any way!
Why is it more difficult to coax a woman than to lead soldiers into war? !
Qin Laowu's lewd smile just now suddenly came to mind...
Fu Tingye made up his mind and walked quietly to Qin Laowu's camp.
…
Qin Laowu was standing not far from the camp, chatting happily with a general.
He was probably too engrossed in the conversation, and he just didn't notice Fu Tingye coming over. It wasn't until the other party winked at him that Qin Laowu turned around and looked -
It's the general!
"The Liao soldiers sneaked into the camp, the weapons supervisor was set on fire, and the craftsmen of the iron camp were captured. All these things happened in the camp. Do you still have the intention to chat here? You seem to be in a good mood, huh?" Fu Tingye's face was solemn and his voice was cold. It's like quenching a layer of ice slag.
Qin Laowu looked stiff and stuttered back: "Subordinate... I was just discussing with the general to strengthen the patrol work of the weapons supervisor..."
By the way, I made a few jokes about the general falling in love...
Fu Tingye glanced at them lightly.
Qin Laowu and the general were both trembling.
"Come in with me." Fu Tingye said nothing and turned around and entered Qin Laowu's tent.
Qin Laowu's face turned pale.
The general patted his shoulder sympathetically and encouraged him with his eyes: Brother, hold on!
…
Qin Laowu walked into the camp and carefully observed Fu Tingye's face.
Fu Tingye sat upright with a solemn expression, as if he was deep in thought...
"General." Qin Laowu swallowed unconsciously and asked cautiously, "You came to see my subordinates. What are your orders?"
"Do you still have contact with that Liu family?" Fu Tingye asked.
Qin Laowu was stunned and made a thousand guesses in his mind. He never expected that Fu Tingye would ask him this!
Seeing that he didn't answer, Fu Tingye frowned and said, "Speak."
"General..." Qin Laowu replied anxiously, "In the military regulations... there shouldn't be any prohibitions on soldiers and widows being allowed to interact, right?"
Fu Tingye asked him with a stern face: "I heard that you annoyed her last time and she scratched your face bloody. Why, has she forgiven you now?"
Qin Laowu was shocked!
How did Fu Tingye know this bit of gossip about himself? !
Fu Tingye was already very impatient and slapped the table next to him! Make a banging sound!
"Are you mute?! Speak!"
Qin Laowu trembled and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, there is still contact!"
I thought: Give it a go! He didn't break any military regulations, and besides, none of the men in the military camp had a good relationship outside!
Fu Tingye asked seriously: "Tell me, how do you usually make her happy."
"..." Qin Laowu finally understood that Fu Tingye was frustrated by Hua Qingxue and came to him to learn from him!
"This... When you coax a woman, you have to pay attention to what you want. Some women like beaded hairpins and jewelry, and some women like rouge and gouache. We can't generalize..." Qin Laowu said slowly, looking at his expression.
Fu Tingye raised his eyebrows and looked at him coldly, "Do you have any other lovers?"
Qin Laowu was so frightened that he shook his head hastily, "No, no! I can hardly bear it just by feeding her. How dare I find anything else!"
Fu Tingye's face looked ugly, "..."
I always thought that everyone was living an ascetic life like him, but I didn’t expect that this kid...
He stared at Qin Laowu's beard in silence.
Then why does Widow Liu not mind Qin Laowu's beard piercing her face
With this thought in mind, he subconsciously stretched out his hand -
The hair on Qin Laowu's body stood up!
Damn it! Damn it! The general suddenly touched my face! too disgusting! ! !
Immediately afterwards, Qin Laowu saw Fu Tingye retract his hand and touch his beard, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Qin Laowu thinks Fu Tingye is too weird today! So scary! It’s better to send him away quickly!
"Is the general in trouble about Miss Hua?"
Fu Tingye nodded calmly, "I'm worried that this matter will upset her."
"General, you might as well give him some gifts and give some gifts to Miss Hua." Qin Laowu carefully helped Fu Tingye to check the details, and said while stroking his beard, "Looking at Miss Hua's temperament, she doesn't seem to be a woman who likes gold and silver jewelry... When the general got along with Miss Hua, did she ever mention what she liked?"
Fu Tingye thought carefully.
Hua Qingxue is not a talkative person and rarely mentions her own affairs. However, she is very interested in all kinds of weapons and occasionally chats with him...
"... She seems to like gems." Fu Tingye finally found a clue from the fragmentary memories of daily life, "I gave her the broken heart, and she said the gems on the handle were very beautiful."
Qin Laowu is embarrassed, General, how can you give a knife that has cut off a human head to your sweetheart
"Then prepare some gems for Miss Hua... Well, besides gems, does Miss Hua have other preferences?" Qin Laowu reminded Fu Tingye, "Maybe Miss Hua always wanted the general to do it, but the general failed to do it. Things, such as some wishes and requests, can also be counted."
Fu Tingye's expression became subtle...
"She... always wanted me to shave."
