Chapter 45

Qi Wei led people to welcome the people who transported grain and grass into the city.

After a few days of exhaustion, the soldiers who escorted the grain and forage were also very tired, and they were taken to rest. An Changqing and Doctor Censor were welcomed into the general's mansion to sit temporarily.

The general's mansion was deserted, and there was not even a servant. Only the soldier who welcomed them in poured tea for them.

An Changqing thought he would be able to see Xiao Zhige when he arrived in Yanzhou, but he didn't expect to see even a shadow, so he had to ask the little soldier who was waiting on the side: "Is your prince not in the city?"

The soldier stood up straight and did not look sideways: "The general has led his troops out of the city!"

Unexpectedly, An Changqing frowned and asked, "When will you be back?"

Soldier: "I don't know."

Seeing that the soldier couldn't ask anything, An Changqing had no choice but to give up the questioning, thinking about waiting for the deputy to ask again.

The two sat for a cup of tea before Qi Wei came over.

Because the last batch of food and grass went wrong, this time Qi Wei led someone to personally count the food and grass, and after counting the total, when he found that the number of food and grass was only 20,000 stone, his face was not very good.

He asked for 100,000 shi of grain and grass, but only 20,000 shi came. How long is 20,000 stone enough to eat

The previous excitement and joy turned into solemnity, Qi Wei and several subordinates looked at each other, and finally waved: "I'll ask what's going on!"

For the two adults who accompanied the army to escort food and grass, Qi Wei was still polite. He cupped his hands and said, "The food and forage count is correct, it's just the two adults, isn't that the right amount? The war in Yanzhou is getting tight, and 20,000 stone grains and forage are far from enough."

The imperial censor glanced at An Changqing and said with a straight face: "These 20,000 stone grains and forages were donated by the princess. His Majesty has already read the book handed over by Yanzhou, and the official is here to check Shi Jinzhong's fire for burning grains and forages and the army's greed for money. If it is verified to be correct, we will make up for the lack of food and grass."

Qi Wei hadn't figured out who the princess was, and when he heard that he wanted to check the matter between Shi Jinzhong and the grain and grass, he suddenly got angry: "The evidence is conclusive, what else needs to be checked? Wait for you to check clearly and then allocate the grain and grass, Yanzhou. The soldiers have already starved to death!"

"Qi Wei!"

Suddenly, a majestic male voice came from behind. As soon as Xiao Zhige returned, he heard that the food and grass had arrived, and he rushed over before he could even unload the armor, but he did not want to hear the conversation between Ji Anmin and Qi Wei, the doctor of the censorship, at the door.

Stopping Qi Wei aloud, Xiao Zhige handed the Wujin spear to the soldier at the door and strode inside. No one saw it, and the voice had already arrived: "Master Ji, if you want to check it, you can check it, but this food and grass can't-"

Halfway through speaking, when he saw the person sitting beside Ji Anmin, he suddenly became hoarse.

It took a long time to ask hard: "Why are you here?"

Ever since An Changqing heard his voice, he kept staring at the door, but because there were other people present, it was difficult to lose his temper, so he suppressed and did not get up.

The man lost a lot of weight and was also a lot embarrassed. Xu Shi had just returned from the battlefield, his cheeks and armor were still stained with dried blood. There were more black and red marks on the trouser legs, and when he got close, he could even smell the faint smell of blood.

This is the first time that An Changqing has seen him look like this, scribbled but sharp, his armor soaked in blood, and his eyes like blades.

He was the general who guarded the Great Ye frontier. Also his general.

An Changqing blinked his eyes slowly, his throat was dry, and even his voice was hoarse: "I heard that Yanzhou is short of grain and grass, and I will bring it to you. It's just that I have 40,000 shi, and 20,000 shi. Slow down, Iron Tiger will deliver it later."

Xiao Zhige immediately understood what he meant. He had expected the reaction of Emperor Anqing, otherwise he would not have sent people to Liangzhou and Chenzhou to borrow food. It's just that he never imagined that the princess who was supposed to be waiting for him at Yejing Wangfu would raise food and grass and send it to Yanzhou in person.

He looked at An Changqing carefully, and found that his chin was a lot pointed, and there was still tired blue and black eyes, only the black and white eyes were still clear and translucent. These days when I wanted to escort grain and grass, I didn't have a good rest.

With his throat rolling several times, Xiao Zhige finally found his voice: "First... Please ask Mr. Ji to rest first. The issue of Shi Jinzhong and food and grass will be discussed tomorrow."

Qi Wei still refused to accept it, and hesitantly said: "But the food and grass..."

"The food and grass are here, let the big guy have a full meal first," Xiao Zhige said solemnly without turning his head: "Qi Wei, take someone to send Lord Ji out."

"Fairy Wood"

Qi Wei looked at the general who had suddenly become strange since he came in, but he did not dare to disobey, so he could only ask Ji Anmin to rest first. Ji Anmin knew that the couple must have something to say, so he didn't leave anyone to be disliked, he saluted and went out with Qi Wei.

The people around him were gone, Xiao Zhige took a step forward and subconsciously reached out to touch him. When he saw the blood on his hand, he realized that he had just left the battlefield, his hands were covered with blood stains, and he took it back with a forbearance. , only looked at him deeply: "This way, you have worked hard for you."

"Yeah." An Changqing didn't feel bitter at first, but now seeing him, she pursed her lips aggrieved.

He didn't feel wronged when he was seasick by the water and could only drink rice soup when he couldn't eat.

But now that he saw the person he was thinking about, his grievances rushed up, he threw himself into Xiao Zhige's arms with a sullen mouth, hugged him tightly with his arms, and complained to him with a choked voice: "It's all your fault for not letting me. When I came to Yanzhou, every day I listened to the untrue news that came back, I couldn’t even sleep well…”

Xiao Zhige hugged him tightly, rubbed his chin on top of his head, closed his eyes, and sighed hoarsely: "Well, it's all my fault, I'll take you wherever I go in the future."

An Changqing sniffed in his arms, secretly trying to dry his tears on his sleeves, but instead he was smothered by the bloody smell, and complained dissatisfiedly: "You smell so bad."

He just said so, but hugged him tightly and didn't let go.

Xiao Zhige's eyes showed some helplessness: "I haven't showered for five or six days, and my body is very dirty."

An Changqing snorted, hugged him tighter and whispered, "I don't think you are dirty."

Xiao Zhige's palm fell on his back, soothing him.

The two hugged tightly until the long-separated thoughts were filled, and they parted reluctantly. An Changqing's eyes were still a little flushed, and she turned her face away a little embarrassedly: "Where do you live? I'll clean up first, and I'll tell you about Ye Jing later."

Thinking about Ye Jing, he became a little puffed up, frowned and said worriedly: "I really can't get enough food and grass, there is only so much. I don't know how long I can eat it."

Xiao Zhige had already guessed eight in his heart. Nine is not far from ten, so he was not in a hurry, and took his shoulders and walked out: "Let's not talk about this first, I'll take you back to your room to change your clothes. Have you eaten yet? I'll call someone. I'll cook some porridge for you." He said with a guilt expression on his face: "There's a shortage of food in the city now, and there's nothing good in the General's House..."

"I'm not hungry, I'll just have some porridge."

The two talked in a low voice and walked out side by side. When he walked to the door, he saw Qi Wei standing there looking curiously and excitedly, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them and called out, "General, Princess."

He didn't have time to figure out who the "Prince Princess" was, and after he went out, he asked a lot, and then he realized that the fair and clean-looking little boy turned out to be their general's daughter-in-law!

Although they all knew that the general returned to Yejing and married a male wife, but no one had seen it before. Only now did I know that this princess not only was born beautiful, but also sent them food and grass from thousands of miles away.

That's a real lifesaver!

So after the big-mouthed deputy general Qi made a round of publicity, he was sent as a representative to invite the general and the general's wife to eat together - the food and grass came, and the generals who had been starving for a few days by tightening their belts were finally able to eat a full meal. .

Of course, the point is to see what the princess looks like.

Facing his subordinates, Xiao Zhige immediately turned black: "Didn't I tell you to send Mr. Ji to settle down? Is there anything else?"

Qi Wei was amazed by how quickly his face changed.

Vice-General Qi shrank his neck and smiled bravely: "Rare food and grass arrived, and we won another game. The brothers asked the cook to open a small stove for a good meal, and specially came to invite the general and the princess..."

"No." Xiao Zhige refused without hesitation and waved his hand: "You guys can eat. It's just that Bei Di hasn't retired, so drinking is not allowed."

Qi Wei's face was bitter, who knew that Xiao Zhige didn't even look at him, and went to the backyard with An Changqing.

The General's Mansion is an old house left over from the previous dynasty. It is quite big, but it has not been taken care of over the years, and a huge house has been abandoned. The main house of the main courtyard was also packed out, and Xiao Zhige occasionally came to rest.

There were no servants in the mansion, only a few guarding soldiers.

At first, Xiao Zhige didn't feel anything when he was alone. Anyway, he mostly lived in the military camp, eating and living with the soldiers. Now that An Changqing came, he began to feel that this was also lacking, and that was also lacking.

It's just that the war is urgent now, and it's really too late to buy it for a while.

Knowing that An Changqing loves Jie, Xiao Zhige personally went to carry the wooden bucket, brought hot water and poured it into it. After testing the water temperature, he said, "There is no heater in the room, wash quickly and be careful of catching a cold. Wait until the war is over. , I'll buy what I'm missing. Now I'll apologise to you first."

An Changqing didn't think there was anything. Yanzhou was no better than Yejing, and he didn't come here for extravagant enjoyment. Just seeing Xiao Zhige's embarrassed appearance, he frowned again: "Will the lord not wash it?"

Xiao Zhigor paused for a while, then said nonchalantly: "You are in the house, I will go outside to wash."

But An Changqing clearly remembered that he said that the hot water was still burning, and that he was going to wash outside, mostly with cold water. After hesitating for a moment, An Changqing said, "Will you wash with me, my lord?"

Xiao Zhige stumbled, turned his back to him and said, "I have blood all over my body, and this bucket of water is not enough for me to wash it again."

After saying that, he walked out quickly. An Changqing called out to him without stopping.

After quickly cleaning himself and putting on clean clothes, An Changqing went to find Xiao Zhige.

After asking the soldiers in the courtyard, I learned that Xiao Zhige had gone to the bedroom. The bedroom was separated by two rooms from the shower room. When An Changqing looked for it, he saw that Xiao Zhige had changed his armor and was unbuttoning his shirt, his back to the door not knowing what he was doing.

"Your Highness?" An Changqing said suspiciously, but saw Xiao Zhige put on his shirt quickly, and turned around as usual: "How soon? The porridge from the kitchen hasn't been delivered yet."

"What's wrong with your shoulders?" An Changqing saw the blood on the clothes with sharp eyes, and walked over with frowns, trying to unbutton his shirt to check.

Xiao Zhige held his wrist: "Don't look, it's just a small injury."

"Let me see." An Changqing looked at him stubbornly.

Xiao Zhige couldn't beat him, sighed, and finally let go of his hand: "It's not a serious injury, don't be afraid."

An Changqing carefully unbuttoned his shirt, and saw a slap-length wound from his left shoulder to his chest. If it is longer, it will reach the heart.

"Why don't you go to see the doctor?" An Changqing bit her cheeks hard to restrain the sourness from the tip of her nose.

"I've seen it." Xiao Zhige said: "It's just a flesh wound, it looks scary, it doesn't hurt the bones and meridians, just take medicine every day."

An Changqing glared at him: "Where's the medicine? Did you just prepare the medicine?"

Xiao Zhige let out a "um" in a lack of confidence, and took out a bottle of medicine from the bedside: "I'm about to take medicine, so you're here."

After taking the medicine bottle, An Changqing untied his clothes again, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Don't move, I'll give you the medicine."

He sprinkled the medicine powder on the open wound, Xiao Zhige didn't say a word, but the veins on the side of his neck collapsed. Cover the wound with a bandage.
