Although there was suddenly another person on the horseback, Wuyun Taxue still carried Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi steadily into the garrison mansion.
Looking at the sweet backs of the master and son, Baihui and Baihe behind exchanged a look with a smile.
The maids are already used to it. It's not the first time that their grandson has ignored them, and it won't be the last time...
Anyway, with the eldest son here, the imperial concubine is safe and sound, and there is no need for them to be those people who spoil the scenery.
The maids simply slowed down their steps, entering the mansion like snails, protracted several times the distance that could have been covered in a dozen steps, and thoughtfully kept a certain distance from the masters.
As for bamboo, it's a bit ignorant.
In the eyes of Baihui and the others that looked like sharp arrows, he bit the bullet and stepped forward to beat the mandarin ducks, reminding: "My lord..."
Although he didn't say anything, it was equivalent to saying everything.
Xiao Yi glared at Zhuzi angrily, but there was nothing he could do, and said to Nangong Yue: "Ah Yue, Xiaobai and Zheng Shen will come over in a while..."
Before the war ended, Xiao Yi still had important military affairs to discuss with the generals. As soon as he entered the city, he ordered the generals to gather in the main hall of the garrison mansion to discuss the military situation after a stick of incense.
Nangong Yue was a little reluctant, but business matters, only when this battle is over as soon as possible, can Xiao Yi stay with her for a long time.
She smiled on her face, not letting him see anything wrong, and said, "A Yi, hurry up."
Xiao Yi turned over helplessly and got off the horse, and carried Nangong Yue off the horse, followed him to grab Nangong Yue's soft and slender hands, and then walked away slowly, stepping back and forth.
Lily tilted her head unceremoniously and laughed incessantly, laughing so hard that her shoulders shook violently. The son of the world has too many dramas!
Why-
Xiao Yi sighed deeply, and turned his head for an unknown number of times, but at this time, Nangong Yue's figure could no longer be seen from behind. His whole shoulders were slumped, and he looked sluggish.
Just as the bamboo in the back was thinking about whether to comfort the elder son, he saw his elder son turn his face like turning over a book and regained his spirits, and strode towards the main hall.
Xiao Yi had just sat down in the main hall and had a sip of hot tea when General Zheng, Su Yuming and Li Shoubei came together. As for Hua Chuyu, Yu Xingrui and other young generals, they were ordered to clean up the battlefield, track down and wipe out the fleeing Nanliang remnants...
Just after the three veterans greeted Xiao Yi and sat down on the armchairs on both sides, there was a faint coughing sound from outside the hall, "cough cough cough..."
The hall couldn't help being quiet for a while, and everyone's gazes were all turned towards the outside of the hall, and they saw a moon-white figure walking leisurely towards this side. It was hunting, and it looked empty, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.
Seeing the person coming, General Zheng, Su Yuming, and Li Shoubei in the hall all froze. Everything that happened on the battlefield today could not help reappearing in their minds, and their expressions subconsciously became subtle. This Marquis An Yi is really cunning and resourceful, even if veterans like them think they have experienced many battles and have seen countless big scenes, such a character is only seen in their lives...
"Cough cough cough..."
Guan Yubai stopped again, covered his mouth with a moon-white handkerchief, and coughed softly and suppressedly. Xiao Si in the back frowned and looked at his young master, his thin lips tightly pursed into a straight line.
Seeing the other party's weak and powerless appearance, the three generals Zheng and Shen couldn't help but think of what happened to the official, and their expressions became more complicated. Could it be that God is jealous of talents? !
The three veterans were so immersed in their own thoughts that they didn't notice that Xiao Yi's brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry looking at Guan Yubai.
After a while, Guan Yubai finally came to his senses, but his face was still a little pale. He put away his handkerchief and strode towards the main hall.
He walked into the hall, and was about to greet Xiao Yi with fists cupped, when he saw Xiao Yi said worriedly: "Xiao Bai, since you are not feeling well, you should go back and rest."
Of course Xiao Yi knew that Guan Yubai was weak, but since he arrived in southern Xinjiang, the weather here has been mild, and after some adjustments from his grandfather, Guan Yubai's condition seems to be stable. Today, it seems that his foundation is still weak. Too empty to see the wind. Even though the winter in southern Xinjiang is much warmer than Wang's, it's still a bit bleak.
What's more, today's battle seemed to be won easily, but in fact it took a lot of Guan Yubai's mind.
Several veterans in the main hall were stunned at first by Xiao Yi's weird address to Guan Yubai, and then they were all overjoyed.
Is the son of the world planning to stop letting Marquis An Yi intervene in the battle in southern Xinjiang? !
The three of them exchanged glances quickly, and nodded frequently in their hearts.
Your Majesty did the right thing!
Although this Marquis An Yi is resourceful and far superior to others, but this person was sent by the emperor, so it is impossible for him to be of one mind with their Southern Border Army. After sweeping Nanliang out of southern Xinjiang, they and Marquis An Yi might turn from allies to enemies!
Marquis Anyi must not be given the opportunity to develop his influence in southern Xinjiang!
The three of them stared at Guan Yubai, intending to see how he would respond.
Guan Yubai smiled faintly, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, I just blew a cool breeze, so I just coughed a little."
Xiao Yi's brows were deeply furrowed, but he didn't say anything more.
Guan Yubai also sat down on the armchair beside him, with a leisurely demeanor and an elegant and refined posture, which was in stark contrast to the sitting posture of the three veteran Da Ma Jindao.
Zheng Shen and the three originally thought that the son would insist on driving away An Yihou, but they didn't expect the son to give up so easily.
Could it be that the son of the world has any special considerations
General Zheng Shen suppressed his doubts for the time being, and got up to report today's battle situation: "My lord, after preliminary clearing of the battlefield, our army killed more than 400 people, nearly 500 seriously injured, and thousands of lightly injured; About 15,000 people were killed, 4,000 were captured, and the final general estimated that there were hundreds more fleeing tens of miles near Yanding City... The final general has ordered Siming Hua and Yu Xingrui to lead troops to encircle and suppress them."
Xiao Yi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Since the last time he discovered the trail and the Nanliang people stationed at the foot of Yulan Mountain, Xiao Yi led Yao Lianghang to guard it, so the Nanliang team that drugged the Yanlai River and the 20,000 Nanliang people who followed Guan Yubai in Yanding City and Xiao Yi in Yongjia City knew exactly when Liang's army passed through that area. It was as if they had a pair of invisible eyes watching every move of the Nanliang people.
At the same time when the Nanliang army approached Yanding City, Xiao Yi also led an army of 10,000 from Yongjia City to Yulan Mountain via that mountain path...
Sit back and wait!
On one side are the elite troops waiting for work, and on the other side are the defeated Nanliang army whose morale has been broken. Once they confront each other, it is clear at a glance who will win and who will lose.
Xiao Yi defeated many with less, almost wiped out the Nanliang army, and even Mo Keli became a prisoner.
This battle can be described as a great victory!
But just having a great victory is not enough. For Guan Yubai, how to reap greater benefits from this great victory is the key.
Guan Yubai's index finger moved a few times on the small table beside him, and said slowly: "After this battle, Nanliang suffered heavy casualties, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue..."
His gentle and refined voice echoed in the hall. General Zheng, Su Yuming and Li Shoubei were distracted at first, but they were fascinated by it before they knew it...
"Srustling..."
The cold wind blowing outside the hall blows off the lingering leaves hanging on the branches, and the rotten things will eventually be destroyed by some kind of force...
After about a stick of incense, the hall fell silent again.
Xiao Yi pondered for a while, with a serious expression, and said decisively: "Then, act according to Marquis Anyi's plan!"
"Yes, my son." General Zheng, Su Yuming, and Li Shoubei clasped their fists in unison, all with solemn expressions.
Now that the discussion on the battle situation was over, Su Yuming and Li Shoubei retired one after another, leaving only Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai and General Zheng in the hall.
Xiao Yi didn't care about General Zheng, and couldn't wait to urge Guan Yubai: "Xiaobai, you have been tired all day, go and rest quickly. I will let my grandfather go and show you..."
Guan Yubai wanted to say no, but Xiao Si's eyes were like pins and needles, so he could only give in and obediently obey.
Guan Yubai took Xiao Si and left without haste. Looking at the thin back, General Zheng hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help reminding: "My lord, although Marquis An Yi is very intelligent, It's also a double-edged sword, this man's scheming is as deep as the sea, if he can't use it for my southern border, it may become a serious disaster in the future!"
General Zheng Shen understood a little bit in his heart, and understood why the emperor so "easily" wiped out all the official families. The emperor was also afraid that the peerless sword of the official army would hurt his throne one day...
Xiao Yi looked at General Zheng for a moment, he is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, of course he knows the kind reminder in the other party's words, but the other party only sees Guan Yubai's amazing talent, but does not know Guan Yubai's personality .
Since he is determined to let Xiaobai stay in southern border, then this situation must be changed.
He wants to give Xiaobai a world in southern Xinjiang, it can't just be a talk.
"Master Zheng, do you trust me?" Xiao Yi and Zheng Shenjiang looked at each other, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and he seemed to be a bit careless.
General Zheng Shen was startled, and hastily expressed his loyalty: "My lord, the last general will of course trust you."
General Zheng's words came from the bottom of his heart. Ever since the Grand Master led an army to defeat the Nanman Baiyue last year, and now the Grand Master has defended Huiling City for Southern Xinjiang, and recovered Yanding City and Yongjia City. The 20,000-strong army wiped out everything in one go... All the soldiers of the Southern Border Army saw each and every one of them, and they were completely convinced by the son.
Now in the army, the prestige of the prince seems to have surpassed that of the prince, and everyone in the army is very pleased that they have successors in southern Xinjiang.
"Then," Xiao Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, and the smile on his face deepened, "Just trust An Yihou... just like trusting me."
General Zheng Shen couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't hide the shock on his face, the son's trust in Marquis An Yi has reached this level? !
Zheng Shenjiang suddenly thought that the prince had been a hostage in the capital a few years ago, but with the temperament of the prince, he should not just wait silently, right? Besides Princess Yongyang and Fu Yunhe, could it be that Marquis An Yi is also the son's harvest in the royal capital
General Zheng thought more and more, and the more he thought about it, the more startled he became. In the end, even he himself didn't know when he left the defense mansion...
When Xiao Yi came out from the main hall, the sky outside was almost completely dark, and a faint bright moon rose in the night sky in the east, casting hazy moonlight.
Xiao Yi saw at a glance that Nangong Yue was waiting for him not far ahead, her eyes were so soft and focused, as if she had only herself in her eyes.
The moment she saw him, Nangong Yue called out with crooked eyebrows, "Ah Yi."
Xiao Yi walked towards her in three steps at a time, hugged her in his arms, and rubbed her cheeks before he was reluctant to let go. Those bright black eyes were more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky, " Ah Yue, I'm planning to go to my grandfather's place, let's go there together."
"Grandfather probably hasn't come back right now... He is busy teaching those doctors how to make medicine recently, and he leaves early and returns late every day." After a pause, Nangong Yue asked, "Ah Yi, why are you looking for your grandfather?" thing?"
Xiao Yi told her about Guan Yubai's persistent cough just now: "...I originally wanted to ask my grandfather and his old man to help Xiaobai take a look... Ah Yue, why don't you go and feel Xiaobai's pulse?"
Nangong Yue naturally agreed, and immediately ordered Baihui to fetch the medicine box, frowning slightly.
She knows exactly how weak Guan Yubai's body is, but since he arrived in Yanding City, he has devoted all his energy to planning for today's battle. , how many people know the hard work that Guan Yubai has put in...
As soon as she heard that it was about Guan Yubai, Baihui was also a little nervous, and hurriedly took the order to go, with a look of worry hard to hide from her back.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi first went to the courtyard where Guan Yubai lived.
The sky is getting darker, the night is as dark as ink, and the surroundings are silent. There are no insects in the winter night, only the occasional sound of cold wind blowing leaves, flowers and plants, which is bleak and deserted.
Xiao Yi and Nan Gongyue walked through the two verandahs under the moonlight, followed the turn and walked up a bluestone path, and Guan Yubai's yard soon appeared in front of them.
The man's slightly frivolous laughter came from the wind: "Haha, is this really an eagle? Why does it look like a chicken..."
This voice obviously does not belong to Xiao Si, nor does it belong to Fengxing, nor does it belong to Guan Yubai.
It seems to be that Si Lin... Nangong Yue's mouth curled into a smile, and immediately after that, Xiao Si's cold voice sounded again in the yard: "Of course Han Yu is an eagle."
"Really?" Si Lin's tone was a bit playful, "Then I have to see... Whoops!"
Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi looked at each other in dismay, and they walked into the courtyard faster.
Si Lin, who was dressed in black, was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, staring blankly at a gray eagle. Yubai complained: "Yubai, your eagle actually pecked at me!"
Han Yu poked her head out of the basket on the stone table, opened her bright yellow beak, and let out a childish cry, as if she was pleading for Xiao Hui.
Guan Yubai smiled at the corner of his mouth, and was about to speak, but couldn't help coughing twice, "Ahem..."
Xiaosi looked at his young master worriedly, and didn't bother to pay attention to Si Lin. When he saw Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue coming, his eyes lit up immediately, and he stared at Nangong Yue with a burning gaze.
As Nangong Yue walked, she said, "Young Master Guan, let me take your pulse?"
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, and said, "It's just a slight cough." He glanced at Xiao Yi helplessly, and guessed that Xiao Yi called Nangong Yue here to give him a pulse.
Everyone present knew that Guan Yubai's body was three points weaker than that of ordinary people, and there was absolutely no room for any mistakes.
Everyone looked at Guan Yubai with disapproving eyes.
Guan Yubai surrendered and stretched out his left wrist. Nangong Yue sat on the stone bench beside him and stretched out three fingers to feel his pulse.
The surroundings became quiet, and Xiaosi almost held his breath, not even daring to blink his eyes.
Soon, Nangong Yue withdrew her finger and met Xiaosi's worried eyes. She gave him a comforting smile and said, "Young Master Guan just feels a little cold, it's not serious. I'll prescribe a prescription for him and take it first." Three days, three doses a day... "
Baihui didn't know when she arrived with the medicine box. Hearing this, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Baihui served Nangong Yue with pen and ink, while Xiao Yi sat down beside Nangong Yue. When Xiao Hui saw Xiao Yi coming, she shook her wings as if to greet him.
Xiao Yi touched Xiao Hui's body, and Xiao Hui stood there docilely, which attracted Si Lin's curious eyes. This eagle is very arrogant, just now he didn't give himself any face at all, and he actually listened to the words of Xiao Shizi like this
Xiao Yi noticed Si Rin's eyes, thought of something, and said with a smile: "Xiao Rin, didn't you want to settle accounts with Xiao Bai just now? Xiao Hui is my eagle, if you have anything to do, just call me!"
Xiao Lin? Si Lin had goosebumps all over his body. When he heard Xiao Yi call Yubai Xiaobai before, he just thought it was funny, but when it happened to him, he really felt "shudder".
However, Si Lin looked at Xiao Yi, then at Xiao Hui with a calm face, his sword eyebrows were raised slightly, as if he was thinking that since it was Xiao Yi's eagle, why would he be here at Yubai
"Xiao Yi!" Si Lin gave Xiao Yi a nickname in retaliation, "Since it is your eagle, how do you plan to explain it to me?" He looked at himself in self-pity, "Like me Fengshen, handsome and handsome son, even if one hand is disfigured, I don't know how many girls will feel so distressed to death... "
Xiao Si at the side couldn't stand listening any longer, and silently served hot tea to his young master.
Xiao Yi smiled brighter, and said: "Xiao Lin, you bullied my Xiaohui's future daughter-in-law, it just pecked your hand like this, that's considered polite."
Si Lin was a little dumbfounded, is there any reason these days. None of them have a family yet, and this eagle has already booked a child bride
He couldn't help but said: "Yubai, aren't you helping others raise children and daughters-in-law? It's too bad."
This time, Xiaosi finally couldn't hold it anymore: "Han Yu is no longer a child bride!"
Si Lin got excited, and said solemnly: "That's right, you can't be a child bride at all, you should recruit Xiaohui from their family!"
Recruit? ! Xiaosi's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head vigorously, and he was almost misled by Si Lin.
Looking at the two, Guan Yubai's eyes became even more smiling.
Nangong Yue looked at Guan Yubai with a relaxed and relaxed expression at the moment, and couldn't help but think of him who was lifeless and scarred when they first met... How could she have thought that one day, she, Xiao Yi, and Guan Yubai would be able to... Talking and laughing in the distant southern Xinjiang thousands of miles away like today, the fate is really amazing!
Since Guan Yubai was fine, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue didn't stay long, especially Xiao Yi, since he got off the battlefield, he didn't even change his clothes, let alone take a good rest.
Nangong Yue looked at the faint shadow under his eyes, feeling a little distressed.
Outside the courtyard, there are already willow branches on the moon.
Yanding City at night was much colder than in the daytime, but Nangong Yue didn't feel the cold, she only felt that Xiao Yi's big palm was like a stove, continuously emitting heat.
The two walked side by side, and Nangong Yue smiled and listened to Xiao Yi's story about how he was so brave and powerful that he wiped out tens of thousands of enemies, and his eyes were fixed on him like bright stars. In fact, they all knew that an important part of the victory in this battle with such small casualties was to use General Sun Xinyi's plan to assassinate the enemy's general, leaving the enemy without a leader and their morale collapsed.
Thinking of Sun Xinyi, Nangong Yue felt a little heavy in her heart, her steps paused, Xiao Yi looked at her suspiciously, raised her eyebrows slightly to show doubts.
"Ayi," Nangong Yue asked, "how will I deal with Miss Sun?"
Sun Xinyi's collusion with Nanliang, treason and collusion with the enemy is a crime enough to punish the nine clans, and the crime is unforgivable!
However, the Sun family is full of heroes, but because of her own fault, the whole family is stained...
