In May in Tongcheng, there was still bursts of chill.
Yuchen was wearing a thick fox fur cloak, still feeling very cold. Yuchen couldn't help saying: "It's so cold now, and winter is even more difficult. Fortunately, A Chi has stayed here for so many years. This child is really suffering." In fact, it is a good thing for the child to exercise more, just like A Chi's current adaptability ability. powerful. When I arrived at Lion Island, there was no discomfort at all. Like Yan Hengzhong, he fell ill when he arrived at Lion Island.
Meng Nian said: "Actually, I stay here all year round, and I don't think it's a habit." But it's hard for people from the South to get used to it.
Not to mention the South, she has been in Shengjing for several years and is not used to the low temperature here anymore.
Yan Wushuang is in the barracks, and the barracks are not allowed to enter. In fact, women were not allowed to enter the barracks before, but because of the presence of female generals like Zijin and Zaozao, this rule was cancelled.
Yan Wushuang is now working as a errand by Qiu Dashan.
Seeing Yan Wushuang in the clothes of his guards, Meng Nian's eyes shook.
Seeing Meng Nian, Yan Wushuang asked with ill-fated eyes: "Isn't I letting you help Achi? How come to Tongcheng?" After all, Achi is young, and he will definitely take a lot of detours without anyone around him.
"I came with my wife." He didn't expect that Yuchen would risk his life to find Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang was annoyed and said, "Naughty. Where is this place? Could she be able to come?" Wars here all the year round, and life is extremely difficult. Whenever there is a way, people here will choose to leave.
Meng Nian said: "San Ye can't dissuade his wife, so he has to send me to accompany him."
People are here, and it doesn't make any sense to talk about it. Yan Wushuang asked, "Are you from Tongcheng directly from Qiongzhou?" Han Yuxi had arranged so many people along the coast, and he didn't know that Yuchen hadn't been found.
Meng Nian shook his head and said, "No, we went to the capital when we heard the master you were arrested. Only when we learned that you were in Tongcheng, we followed."
"Have you seen Han Yuxi?" His coming to Tongcheng was classified, and he knew that he couldn't count it with a single slap. Meng Nian and Yuchen could know that it was only possible that Han Yuxi had told it, and it was absolutely impossible for them to inquire about it themselves.
Meng Nian nodded.
Although he now knows that Yuxi is not the one that Jacques will report to, but Yuchen, who almost killed Yun Qihao, will certainly not let it go easily.
"What's the price?" The price must be very high.
Meng Nian glanced at Yan Wushuang, and then whispered: "Madam told Han Yuxi about the treasures of the Song family. Then she sent someone to send us to Tongcheng."
"Treasure hiding place? How much gold and silver is hidden?" I want to come with a lot of money, otherwise Han Yuxi would not be so easy to talk.
This, Meng Nian really knows. The main reason was that the money was sent to the Ministry of Households, so I naturally asked the source when I heard about it. Yuxi didn't conceal it either, just concealed Yuchen.
"One hundred and two thousand taels of gold?" Yan Wushuang laughed after speaking, "Han Yuxi is really lucky. He can always make a fortune." First he obtained Ji Xuan's private treasury, and then took the Wu family's wealth. When he got it, he now got the gold and silver hidden by the Song family. It's hard not to be envious.
Meng Nian couldn't help but said, "If the master also has such a fortune, then the world is now yours for the master."
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "I also made a lot of partial wealth, but the roots of the imperial court at that time were already rotten, and no amount of money could be saved." At most, it was just lingering for some time.
The worst thing he did in his life was that he shouldn't kill Zhou Yan himself as the emperor. After taking revenge and making enough money that year, he should return to Liaodong with the army instead of taking over the mess. If he returned to Liaodong, he would have enough energy to manage Liaodong well.
One step is wrong, one step is wrong.
"Don't talk about this, where is the madam?" The matter is over, it is useless to say more.
Hearing living in a rented private house, Yan Wushuang said: "Leave your wife at home alone, what if you run into a bad guy?" Although Yuchen is old, her appearance is basically no woman here. Tongcheng is also easy to attract trouble.
Meng Nian said, "Don't worry, the guards sent by Han Yuxi are still there!"
"You wait here, I'll talk to Dashan." You have to report to Dashan, otherwise Qiu Dashan will be anxious if you can't find anyone.
Most of the houses of ordinary people in Tongcheng are built of stones, and they are not very tall. The windows are not big, so the room doesn't have enough light, and it looks a little dark.
When seeing Yan Wushuang, Yuchen was very happy, and hurriedly put down the water scoop in his hand and greeted him: "Master..."
Looking at Yu Chen, who was wearing a muslin dress and a cyan headscarf, Yan Wushuang's heart flashed with guilt.
"Master, what's the matter with you?"
Yan Wushuang returned to God and said, "Just let the people below do these things."
"It's just a fetch of water." Yuchen is used to it. Although the house is very clean, she feels uncomfortable not to scrub it again. But it’s still very cold here, so you have to scrub the furniture with hot water. Cold water will definitely freeze your hands.
After entering the house, looking at the rooms that were not on top of the bed or the cabinet, Yan Wushuang immediately called Meng Nian: "Go and buy a quilt, and find a few more women to help with chores." I want to be special here. It's impossible to pay attention to it, and I can only try to make Yuchen's life more comfortable.
Along the way, Yuchen was very worried about Yan Wushuang. Now that he is safe and sound, Yuchen is also relieved: "Master, when did you arrive in Tongcheng?"
"We arrived twenty days ago." After saying that, Yan Wushuang said: "It is estimated that there will be war in a few days. You can rest here for a few days, and then set off for Lion Island."
Yuchen shook his head and said, "Where is the master, I will be there." After finally finding Yan Wushuang, how would she be willing to go back.
"It's too dangerous here." Seeing Yuchen insisting on staying, Yan Wushuang had a headache. Why didn't he find Yuchen so stubborn before. A Bao must look like Yuchen at this point.
"It's useless for you to stay here. I live in the army." As a guard, he must stay in the army and cannot get out of the army.
Yuchen smiled and said, "I'm waiting for the master. After this battle, the master can return to Lion Island with me."
After a pause, Yuchen said, "Master, I promised Achi to take you back."
After a long silence, Yan Wushuang said, "Yuchen, I have no plans to go back this time."
Yuchen was shocked: "What do you mean by this master?" Naturally, casualties are indispensable in the war, but Yan Wushuang seemed to be sure that he was bound to die.
Yan Wushuang also told her thoroughly: "Yan Jia Erlang, only those who died in battle, not deserters." This time he came out, he was already dead. If it weren't for Achi and Abao, he would not surrender and would not go to Lion Island. Although he surrendered, deep down in his heart, he never thought of leaving the land that nurtured him. Even if you die, you must die here.
Yuchen's tears fell uncontrollably, but she did not plead. Because he knew that Yan Wushuang's surrender that day led them to leave Shengjing, which was already the biggest concession.
After calming down, Yu Chen said: "Master, even if you really have a case, I will take you back." This meant that I was going to take Yan Wushuang's body back.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "After I die, I will be buried in the ancestral grave of the Yan family." Influenced by Mr. Yun, Yun Qing has especially admired the Yan family since he was a child. After lay down Shengjing, he also went to the Yan family's ancestor tomb to sweep the tombs of the heroes of the Yan family.
Yuchen knew that he could not change Yan Wushuang's decision: "Master, if you die, I will follow you."
"No. If you're gone, what should Achi and Abao do? Especially Abao, if you don't go back within the prescribed time, she will definitely return to the original search. If she has something in case, then we have before It doesn't make any sense to retreat." A Bao's temperament, he couldn't be more clear. Only oneself and Yuchen can stop her.
Yuchen's tears rolled down again.
Yan Wushuang shouted: "Come here, come in with water."
Soon, Meng Nian came back from shopping. Yuchen didn't buy the balm and Huh Soo. There is a shortage of materials here, and there is no balm or soap. I want to know that few women here sell these things.
"The conditions here are tough, you will go down!" Come here, you can't be particular about it.
The daily frequency can be checked, but Yuchen will stop if the meal is not good. Asked the woman Meng Nian invited back to go to the outer courtyard to cook for Duan Xiaohan and the others, and their meal Yuchen took Shixiang to cook by herself.
Because of the limited ingredients, Yuchen only made four simple home-cooked dishes. After sitting down, Yan Wushuang said, "Thanks for your hard work."
"It's not hard at all."
Yuchen's cooking skills are incomparable with the chefs of Deyuelou, and they are much higher than those of military cooks.
However, Yan Wushuang was still reluctant to bear Yu Chen's involvement, and said to Meng Nian, "I will go out and find a cook with good craftsmanship."
Yuchen shook his head and refused: "I don't have anything to do at home on weekdays, so I can pass the time by cooking." Cooking for the beloved is actually a kind of happiness.
After eating, Yu Chen lowered his head and said, "Master, I'm sorry." Meng Nian must have told Yan Wushuang about the Song Family Treasure. She thought Yan Wushuang would question her, but Yan Wushuang didn't mention it for a long time.
Yan Wushuang naturally knew what Yuchen was talking about, and said with a wry smile, "I am the one who should say I'm sorry. Back then, I was so to Zhou Yan and never considered your feelings. You have been tortured all the time."
Having said this, Yan Wushuang sighed and said, "At this point, I am indeed inferior to Han Yuxi."
Yu Chen was sad, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Yan Wushuang suspiciously.
"You may not know that Yu Xiyu and Zhou Xuan are still alive. They were able to survive because they were protected by Han Yuxi. Then the **** asked her that the poisonous woman of the Song family wanted to put her to death, why he still protected her Xi Yu and Zhou Xuan." Zhou Xuan's blood was also bleeding from Concubine Song.
Yuchen really didn't know about this: "What did she say?"
Yan Wushuang said softly: "She said that the child is innocent. Since I wish to conceal Zhou Xuan's identity and let him live an ordinary life, why bother to kill him." Zhou Xuan is innocent, and Zhou Yan is equally innocent.
Thinking of her words scolding Yuxi, Yuchen's face burned panic.
