Collaborating with the enemy and treason, harming the nine tribes.
Once Sun Xinyi's crime is convicted, the merits of Sun Shoubei's entire family are not enough to atone for the crime, and the reputation of loyalty and martyrdom will be wiped out. Even if the emperor wants to pursue it, the nine clans of the Sun family may not be able to escape this disaster.
It's really not worth it to ruin the Sun family for a Sun Xinyi.
But Sun Xinyi not only colluded with the enemy, but even killed her own nephew with her own hands. If she let this go lightly, what's the reason? !
However, Sun Xinyi is the orphan of the Sun family, and the whole city of Yanding is looking at it. If she handles it without giving an explanation, it may be difficult to explain to these unknowing people and the soldiers of the city.
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, feeling somewhat troubled.
When Sun Xinyi was mentioned, a cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he said nonchalantly, "Li Shoubei and Mr. Jing Qian have just looked for me, and hope that I can hand over Sun Xinyi to them, and I agree."
Nangong Yue's heart moved, and she faintly felt that the matter was not as simple as Xiao Yi said, so she blurted out and asked, "How are they going to deal with Miss Sun?"
"Ah Yue, you'd better leave this matter alone, it will stain your ears." Xiao Yi said lightly, "In short, I won't spare her lightly, let alone ruin Sun Shoubei's reputation of loyalty because of her."
Xiao Yi didn't want to talk about Sun Xinyi anymore, so he shook the hands he and Nangong Yue held together, and gave her a dissatisfied look.
Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, and stopped thinking about it, and walked into the room holding Xiao Yi's hand.
As soon as the masters entered the house, Thrush, who had been waiting in the house for a long time, greeted her, and reported that the hot water for bathing and a change of clothes were ready.
Of course, all this was prepared for Xiao Yi.
After the desperate battle in Yulan Mountain, although Xiao Yi was full of energy, his appearance was still beautiful from the neck up, which seemed to be the same as usual, but his body was covered in mess below the shoulders, and there was a lot in his robe and armor. The place was stained red with blood, and the body exuded a strong smell of blood, which made people daunting.
Fortunately, the concubine did not dislike the master. The maids secretly thought.
Nangong Yue personally went to the clean room to help Xiao Yi take a bath and freshen up.
There is no window in the clean room, and an octagonal palace lantern is lit. The candlelight emits a hazy light through the translucent gauze, and the dim yellow halo spreads out round and round, illuminating the small clean room half-bright. dark.
It was steaming inside, and white water mist rose from the huge tub, filling the surroundings. The maid also specially put some mugwort leaves in the tub to wash away the bloody smell on her body. A clean white middle coat was neatly folded and put aside.
Nangong Yue helped Xiao Yi take off his outer robe first, and then reached into the tub to test the water temperature for him. For her, the water temperature was a little high, but for Xiao Yi it was just right.
She was about to turn her head to greet Xiao Yi, when she saw a naked figure jumping into the bathtub with ease.
"Clah la la la..."
Originally, the hot water prepared by the maid just happened to overflow to his chest after he soaked in the tub, which is very comfortable to take a bath in... But Xiao Yi jumped, and immediately a lot of hot water overflowed with a "crash" , water droplets splashing.
Nangong Yue was standing next to the bathtub, her cheeks and most of her clothes were wet by the splashing water unexpectedly. She was wearing a willow dress, and after being splashed with water, the clothes became a little translucent, and the rose-colored bellyband inside the clothes could be faintly seen, revealing a trace of charm.
Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue with a smile, and sighed with feigned regret: "Concubine Shizi, your clothes are wet, how about taking a bath with this son?" He tilted his head, and his long black hair poured down Down, it fell softly on his shoulders and chest, with the ends of her hair hidden in the steamy hot water.
His sparkling peach eyes hooked up, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes, which were more seductive, seductive and seductive.
If this guy is a woman, it should be the reincarnation of Daji, right
Nangong Yue's head was empty, and she was thinking about it.
There was silence in the small clean room.
"soy Mujer?!"
This sound was almost resentful, as if to say, I am by your side, but you are still distracted
Nangong Yue collected herself and looked at Xiao Yi without blinking, her bright black eyes seemed to say, be good, stop making trouble!
Xiao Yi also looked back without evasion, as if he was defending himself innocently, where is he messing around! He wants to take a bath with his concubine, isn't that justified
Nangong Yue continued to look at him, half-closed her eyes, her eyes were extremely determined.
If you take a bath with him, is he bathing, or is he being "washed"
Nangong Yue's eyebrows twitched, she couldn't even imagine her "end"!
After a while, Shi Ziye rubbed his nose dejectedly, and thought: If Shi Zifei can be served and washed, I will be satisfied, if I get angry with Shi Zifei, wouldn't I become a poor little lonely family
"Clatter..."
The sound of water in the clean room sounded again...
It took a long time for this washing, at first there was still the sound of rushing water in the clean room... I don't know when the sound of water stopped, but the maids waited and waited, waited and waited... the masters still didn't come out mean.
This is probably, a little goodbye is better than a newlywed. Thrush silently thought.
Baihui and Huamei were waiting in the main room outside, but they didn't dare to go in...
About an hour later, the food that Huamei prepared was finally a place for heroes to use. After helping the masters put a few simple foods on the table by the window, Huamei immediately stepped back neatly, without daring to glance around .
Even though it was early winter, the house was as hot as a stove.
Xiao Yi ate the gold silk burrito with big mouthfuls, and his smiling eyes fell on Nangong Yue's slightly red and swollen lips from time to time. He was very satisfied like a cat who had stolen a fishy smell, with the corners of his mouth raised high High.
Nangong Yue felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, so she could only passively avoid his sight by eating.
In the inner room, there is silence, only the sound of food chewing, and the occasional rustling of leaves by the cold wind outside.
Xiao Yi finished three gold shredded burritos in one go, but at this time, Nangong Yue had just finished one. She got up and made hot tea for him to rinse his mouth and digest.
The faint scent of tea lingered in the room, and the quiet atmosphere was originally leisurely and leisurely, but unconsciously, there was a little more hesitation.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi's slightly tangled eyebrows, her heart moved, and she said directly: "A Yi, when are you leaving?"
Xiao Yi blinked, and looked at Nangong Yue in surprise. He was still thinking about whether to talk to her tomorrow, lest she worry too much tonight.
Nangong Yue's heart was still a little heavy at first, but seeing his expression, she relaxed instead, raised her eyebrows at him, and gave him a triumphant look.
Is this hard to guess
Although they wiped out the Nanliang army this time, Dengli City has not yet been taken back, and the masks developed by her and her grandfather have not yet been used...
Masks, swamps…
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue felt bitterness in her heart, but it didn't show on her face.
Xiao Yi teasingly stretched out his hand to touch Nangong Yue's hair, as if to say, my stinky girl is really smart!
Nangong Yue twitched her brows speechlessly, and sighed helplessly, do you think I'm Xiaobai Xiaoju at home
Xiao Yi took another sip of hot tea, and when the tea cup was put down, his expression became serious. He walked to Nangong Yue, took Nangong Yue's hand and sat on the Arhat bed, and said slowly:
"Smelly girl, I'm going to war in three days..."
Although she had been prepared for a long time, Nangong Yue's heart still trembled unconsciously.
Three days, only three days, a little earlier than she expected...
Xiao Yi continued: "At that time, Xiaobai will go to Yongjia City to preside over the overall situation. This time, I may not be able to return for at least a month.... You should go back to Luoyue City first." Leave Nangong Yue alone in Yanding City , Xiao Yi was really worried.
Nangong Yue's lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line, vaguely guessing the purpose of Xiao Yi's trip...
She didn't ask any more questions, knowing in her heart that the battle between Nanjiang and Nanliang was going to be next.
No, not only Nanliang, but also Baiyue...
She believed that Ah Yi would win of course!
This vast territory will be A Yi's new world!
All she can do is trust him, and... wait for him to come back.
The inner room became quiet again, Nangong Yue nestled quietly in his arms.
The night gradually deepened.
A night of lingering...
When Nangong Yue woke up, it was already dawn outside, and she was the only one on the bed. She sat up suddenly from the bed with the thin quilt in her arms, almost suspecting that last night was her dream.
"Stinky girl..." Xiao Yi, who was sitting by the window, heard the sound, and it seemed that he was sitting lazily by the window, holding a military book in his hand, with a bit of carelessness.
Nangong Yue stared blankly at the beautiful young man in the morning light by the window. Under the touch of the soft sunlight, his black hair seemed to be shining. At the moment when the two looked at each other, he Laughed.
Seeing Nangong Yue wake up, Xiao Yi casually dropped the book in his hand, strode over to the edge, put his arms around her bare shoulders, and said with a smile: "Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer? Or I will let the servant girl Quickly prepare breakfast?"
It had been a long time since he woke up, and he was a little bored by himself, staring at her peaceful sleeping face for a long time, but still couldn't bear to wake her up.
She is really tired. This kind of fatigue comes from both physical and mental fatigue, so she sleeps so deeply in a light sleep on weekdays...
So Xiao Yi obediently got up by himself, did not go to practice martial arts, and quietly accompanied her.
When his big palm caressed her naked skin, Nangong Yue trembled suddenly, and her eyes that were still a little bit confused suddenly became clear.
Facing his burning eyes, Nangong Yue hurriedly said, "A Yi, I'm hungry."
She was really hungry, unlike Xiao Yi who was so energetic that she was not ordinary, Nangong Yue thought she was just an ordinary person. When she saw Xiao Yi's hair was 80-90% dry but still had a trace of moisture, she knew that this guy had been awake for a long time.
There is really no comparison between people.
Nangong Yue sighed in her heart.
Fortunately, Nangong Yue reacted quickly, and the two finally left the house at half past three o'clock and went all the way to the front yard.
With the expedition imminent, Nangong Yue took him to see the masks that had been made.
The two walked hand in hand, and she said as she walked: "... As of yesterday, about 18,000 masks have been made and dried, and the last batch is still missing..."
During the conversation, the two walked into a courtyard, and a strong smell of medicine came to their faces. In the huge courtyard, there were thousands of white masks hanging on the clotheslines, facing the morning breeze , fluttering, making a rustling sound.
Han Qixia was busy separating some masks that had been stuck together by the wind.
"... Mrs. Lin, look at this insect repellent..."
At a stone table not far away, Guan Yu Bai, who was wearing a fox cloak, was talking with Lin Jingchen. Hearing the movement, the two looked up together. Xiao Yi couldn't help frowning, and after saluting Lin Jingchen, he said unceremoniously: "Xiaobai, you haven't recovered from the cold, why did you come out! Didn't you let you have a good rest? Why didn't you follow the doctor's advice? Woolen cloth!"
Xiaosi on the side nodded secretly, feeling for the first time that this unreliable Xiao Shizi was right.
Faced with several sharp gazes, Guan Yu smiled for nothing, and said helplessly: "...I just have a cold, I drank the medicine yesterday, and today I don't cough anymore."
Guan Yubai's body was always weak, Lin Jingchen only felt that he had no energy to speak today, but he didn't expect him to be sick again, so he simply took his pulse, and after a while he nodded and said: "... Judging from the pulse condition, It's really not a serious problem, but Mr. Guan, the cold wind has picked up recently, so you can't take it lightly."
Guan Yubai nodded in response, and even Xiaosi nodded solemnly behind him.
Hearing what Lin Jingchen said, Xiao Yi always felt relieved, sat down beside Lin Jingchen with Nangong Yue, and asked, "Xiao Bai, grandfather, what were you talking about just now?"
Guan Yubai said with a smile: "I just want Mrs. Lin to help prepare some insect repellent. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in Nanliang. Even a small, inconspicuous ant may be a poisonous ant... Nanliang In Liang, people often lost their lives because they were bitten by poisonous insects and ants."
Guan Yubai's concerns were not unreasonable, Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, and said, "Grandfather, why don't we prepare some medicinal powder, and let those women rush out to make some sachets, put the medicinal powder in the sachet, and hang it on your waist , but it can also have the effect of repelling insects." This sachet does not need to be embroidered, it only needs to be sewn with coarse cloth, and if all the women in the city are mobilized to rush to work, it should take about three days. "It's just that this mask..." If the two sides rushed to work together, they might lose sight of the other.
Lin Jingchen stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Ayi, Yue'er, you see, this is the last batch. Next, we can do our best to make insect repellent."
Nangong Yue couldn't help being surprised. According to the schedule, it would take at least this afternoon to cook the concoction and dry the last batch of masks. I didn't expect my grandfather and the others to move so fast.
Xiao Yi was even more so, he couldn't help but think of what Nangong Yue said to him last night.
Now in less than half a month, more than 20,000 masks that can only avoid miasma have been completed. Xiao Yi can imagine that Nangong Yue, Lin Jingchen, Han Qixia and many others must have put in a lot of energy for this. All this was done before he and the army set off.
Grandfather should have guessed it too. He guessed that he would go out again in the near future, so last night they rushed to work overnight...
Xiao Yi looked around at the masks all over the yard, feeling a warm current in his heart, and subconsciously held Nangong Yue's hand even tighter.
Lin Jingchen looked at the two of them with a smile, and said, "There are not many medicinal materials needed for the deworming medicine. I will go to the medicine storehouse to check it later. It is probably enough. When the doctors come, we can start."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of armor clashing, apparently there were soldiers running in a hurry.
Everyone in the yard followed the sound subconsciously, and saw Zhuzi trotting in with a soldier in iron armor.
"Master, Lord Hou," the soldier ran out of breath and knelt down on one knee to report, "When Colonel Fu led a group of soldiers from the God Arm Battalion to encircle and suppress the remnants of Nanliang, they encountered an ambush..."
Han Qixia gasped, her complexion changed drastically, she hurriedly turned around and interrupted the other party: "Where is Captain Fu now?"
The soldier froze for a moment, then clasped his fists and replied, "Lieutenant Fu is currently in the wounded barracks..."
He still didn't have a chance to finish his words, so Han Qixia rushed out of the yard, her back was gone in the blink of an eye.
There was a silence in the yard, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi worriedly, the corner of Xiao Yi's lips curled up, and he pulled her little hand under the stone table to show comfort.
Guan Yubai seemed to have thought of something, and smiled with great interest.
The soldier who came to report was still at a loss, and was stunned again, then recovered and continued to report: "The three hundred Nanliang remnant soldiers have been wiped out by the team led by Captain Fu! None of our troops were killed, only three More than a dozen people suffered minor injuries…”
Xiao Yi responded, and simply waved his hand to signal the soldier to retreat.
The soldier left in a hurry again, Xiao Yi cast another smug look at Nangong Yue, as if to say, I'll just say, Xiao Hezi is fine.
Last night, according to the last military report Xiao Yi obtained, there were less than five hundred Nanliang remnants fleeing outside.
Xiao Yi asked Fu Yunhe and Hua Chuyu to bring some young generals with potential, such as Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi, out of the city to encircle and suppress the remnants of Nanliang soldiers, so as to accumulate combat experience. This time, the main force to encircle and suppress the remnants of Nanliang was the squad led by these young generals, and the One Thousand Arms Battalion led by Fu Yunhe mainly observed and helped from the sidelines. If their own soldiers were in danger of life, they would immediately send troops to rescue them.
For these young generals, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, most wars have life-threatening risks, but encircling and suppressing remnants is relatively simple, but they can accumulate actual combat experience.
Nangong Yue also shook Xiao Yi's hand as a compliment.
Among the four people present, three of them knew what was going on, only Lin Jingchen was still confused, but felt that something had happened, which made the three young people smile like that.
Meeting Lin Jingchen's suspicious gaze, Nangong Yue covered her mouth and smiled, and said to herself: "Grandfather, he and Sister Xia lived together day and night, and they were as close as grandparents, but they didn't find anything."
Nangong Yue smiled meaningfully: "Grandfather, you have a granddaughter who is about to get married."
Although this sentence did not name the name, the meaning of the disclosure has been clearly revealed.
Lin Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then he understood, raised his eyebrows in surprise, stroked his long beard and thought. After getting along for this period of time, Lin Jingchen can certainly see Fu Yunhe's character, which is enough for him to be a good match. only…
Thinking of the backgrounds of Han Qixia and Fu Yunhe, Lin Jingchen frowned. The two of them were originally well-matched, but Han Qixia's current status was a bit embarrassing. He never cared about these red tapes, but what about the Fu family
Sister Xia called him grandfather anyway, so he should take care of him... But what Yue'er said just now, could it be that she already knew it in her heart? Lin Jingchen glanced at Nangong Yue thoughtfully, thinking: Yue'er has always done things safely, so let's take another look.
Several people discussed the details of the deworming medicine for a while, and then had lunch together, Guan Yubai was driven back to rest by Xiao Yi, while Xiao Yi went to the study by himself. Although the battle was not completely over, in order to boost morale, There must be a reward for merit and deed first, Xiao Yi intends to finalize the list within today.
Xiao Yi turned his head three times at a time, and left reluctantly. Not long after, the doctors also arrived. These days, they have benefited a lot from Lin Jingchen's personal guidance. It is even more energetic to hear that they will start making insect repellents today. As soon as he vibrated, he led the apprentices to get busy.
Taking medicine from the medicine storehouse, drying medicine, making medicine... everything is going on in an orderly manner.
When Xiao Yi finished his work and came to pick up Nangong Yue, it was Shen Shi. Lin Jingchen guessed that Xiao Yi was about to go to war, so he didn't keep them, and waved them away.
Xiao Yi held her hand, his peach blossom eyes sparkled, and he said with a hint of coquettishness in his tone: "...Smelly girl, we..."
Nangong Yue's cheeks became hot, and she said first, "Let's go out for a walk." She made up an excuse, "Let's go to the wounded barracks to see if Sister Xia and Ah He are there."
After finally stealing half a day's leisure, he didn't want to see that unsightly little crane! However, Xiao Yi would never refuse Nangong Yue, so he agreed with aggrieved face.
Anyway, it was just an excuse to go to the wounded barracks, and the two of them were not in a hurry, and strolled casually on the streets of Yanding City.
until…
There was a sound of horseshoes chasing from behind, Zhu Zi came in a hurry, met the disdainful eyes of his family's family, he bit the bullet and replied: "...Master, Sun Yixin said that she has a big secret and wants to exchange her life... She said that the princess was killed by someone, and she knew who the murderer was!"
Of course, there is only one princess in Zhuzi's mouth, and that is Xiao Yi's own mother—Dafang's.
