After bandaging the wound and putting on his clothes, Xiao Zhige looked as if nothing was wrong. If he hadn't just seen him endure the blue veins on his neck, who would have known that he was injured at this time.
An Changqing looked at it with distress and anger: "Why do you want your main general to go to the battlefield after being injured so badly?"
Xiao Zhige rubbed his hair with a smile: "On the battlefield, there are no guns and no eyes. Who doesn't have injuries? As long as they don't break their arms and legs and can't get up, it's not a serious injury."
Seeing that he was worried, Xiao Zhige said again: "You didn't see Beidi's Great Golden Crow King, I cut off an arm. In order to boost morale, I didn't have to go into battle with one arm. I just beat him up a few days ago. It's a pity that he couldn't bring his head back, otherwise there would be more lanterns hanging at the gate of the city."
An Changqing was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion, "Hanging a lantern?"
Xiao Zhige thought about it for a while, afraid of scaring him, so he explained to him in a more euphemistic way: "Beidi people have committed crimes year after year, and Yanzhou soldiers and people and Beidi people have never died. In order to boost morale and vent the anger of the people, every Behead the head of a Bei Di general and hang it on the city gate."
Over the years, no less than a hundred heads of Beidi generals have hung at the gate of the city. Every year when the war is over, these heads will be taken down and built together with the captured Beidi soldiers outside the city to build a "Jingguan". Shocked Bei Di, and demonstrated the achievements of Yanzhou soldiers. There are piles of fortifications every year, and now there are countless Jingguans two or three feet high outside the city.
An Changqing was stunned to hear this. He had never been out of Yejing in his last life. He could only hear from hearsay about how tragic the border war was. Now listening to Xiao Zhige speak in such a plain tone, I vaguely touch the true and cruel side of the war.
The two armies faced each other, endlessly.
If you want to deter the vicious Beidi people, you can only be more vicious and vicious than them, so that they can be afraid. An Changqing remembered the rumors he had heard in Yejing before. Those literati students always criticized Xiao Zhige for killing tens of thousands of Beidi prisoners for being too brutal. The high-rise buildings in front of the city gate are even more evidence of his bloodlust. However, if these people are allowed to spend a few years in Yanzhou at the border, they may hate the Beidi people even more than Xiao Zhige.
"What if the Ye people fell into the hands of the Beidi people?" An Changqing asked.
"The Beidi people are much more cruel than our methods."
Xiao Zhige's eyes became cold, and he held An Changqing's hands in his palms to play with them one by one: "They call Ye slaves 'human animals', and they are all kept in one place like livestock, men work day and night, women It is for the soldiers to have fun at will. If there is a shortage of food, they will be slaughtered for food…”
He sighed and looked at An Changqing: "That's why I don't want you to come to Yanzhou."
Yanzhou is located at the border, where wind and sand attack in spring and summer, and severe winter in autumn and winter. He also had to deal with Beidi's intruders at all times, not to mention comfortable days, the people in this city were always ready to fight with Beidi people. Everything here is not what he wants An Changqing to see.
However, An Changqing pursed her lips slightly and shook her head: "I'm not afraid."
"Maybe I'm not used to it at first, but I'll try my best to get used to it." An Changqing raised her face slightly and muttered, "And I'm not a pampered noble son."
Xiao Zhige's brows and eyes lit up with tenderness, feeling his dry and rough hands, and said solemnly, "But I can't bear to endure hardship for you."
The man's words were serious and solemn, and the tenderness in his eyes melted away like snow. An Changqing glanced at him and then looked away, muttering inwardly: Why did this person suddenly speak love after not seeing each other for more than a month
Quietly moving his eyes back again, An Changqing coughed, and the tip of his ear was slightly red: "I don't feel pain myself."
After speaking, he glanced at him again, and muttered: "Now I know how the scary rumors of Ye Jing came from. Those people really don't have back pain when they stand talking."
Hearing the injustice in his words, Xiao Zhige smiled and pulled him up: "You don't need to be surprised by what people say. Let's go to dinner now."
Xiao Zhige refused to eat with his subordinates, and called a cook alone to the general's house, cooked meat porridge for An Changqing, and made a few side dishes.
The cook was transferred from the military camp. He is used to cooking large pots of rice, and his skills in making fine small stoves are really average. Fortunately, the dishes are simple, but they can be eaten even if they are not delicious. I was also hungry, but I drank the whole bowl with the porridge bowl.
The rest of the porridge and vegetables went into Xiao Zhige's stomach.
It was not dark after dinner, it was already April, although the weather was not warm, but it was not so dark already. Xiao Zhige thought about it, and simply took him to the street to buy something.
There are quite a few people on the street at the moment. Many people lined up with sacks.
"What is this doing?"
"Line up to receive rice and grain." Xiao Zhige explained: "In the past, there was a shortage of grain and grass. In order for the soldiers to have the strength to fight, these people sent all the grain, meat and milk stored in their homes to the military camp. So they took their money for nothing, so they asked people to register from house to house, and then returned it when they had food."
Although there is not enough food and grass, there are many people who stutter. It is not good for these people to dig the grass roots and chew on the bark, so they evenly distribute a part of the food and grass, so that these people also have stuttering.
An Changqing looked at the smiles on the faces of these people, and seemed to be infected, and smiled: "These people don't seem to be affected by the war."
"Well, they're all used to it. As long as the city isn't broken, life can go on."
The people of the border gates are like the weeds that grow tenaciously in the wind and sand. They are very resilient. As long as the roots are still there, they can always grow upwards.
But after one day, An Changqing felt that he liked it a little bit. He looked around curiously. In addition to the people lining up to receive rice, there were also some small vendors on the street, selling strange things that he had never seen before. Xiao Zhige took him to a street vendor with some clam shells on it.
Xiao Zhige looked at two of them and asked the stall owner, "Is there anything else?"
"Yes." The stall owner looked at An Changqing curiously, took out four more delicate porcelain jars from the cloth pocket under the stall, and put them in front of him diligently: "These jars are the best lamb oil, look Whichever the princess likes, you can choose at will."
"You know me?" An Changqing was surprised. He only left the city gate. How did this peddler know that he was a princess
The hawker smiled: "Everyone knows it. It was General Qi who said it. He said that the princess personally brought us food and grass. He also said that the princess is very good-looking. I can see that I can go out with the general, and look good with the general. Matching, then only the princess."
After all, King Bei Zhan has been in Yanzhou City for so many years, and there are many big girls and little wives who adore him. Yanzhou folk customs are open, and although he always has a dark face, it is not uncommon for him to be bold in hooking up. It's just that none of them were successful.
Over the years, no one has ever seen their generals wandering the streets. Now, it is said that the princess is here, and then I see their generals bring someone to buy lamb oil. Then it's not the princess, who else could it be
An Changqing pursed her lips, squinted at Xiao Zhige, and looked at the porcelain jars curiously: "What is this lamb oil for?"
Seeing this, the hawker introduced him with more enthusiasm.
It turned out that Yanzhou was windy and sandy, and the weather was very dry. Especially in winter, it is so dry that even the skin will be chapped. Therefore, a special kind of lamb oil is produced here. After rubbing it, it moisturizes the skin and prevents chapped. It is basically a must for every household. It's just that ordinary people use inferior lamb oil in mussel shells, and rich people buy superior oil in porcelain jars.
"You are from Yejing, and you are definitely not used to the climate here. This lamb oil needs to be rubbed every day, otherwise the skin should be dry."
An Changqing really felt that the climate here was relatively dry, so he picked up a bottle and asked the hawker how much money.
As a result, the hawker waved his hands again and again: "The princess has sent food and grass all the way. This is a great kindness. This lamb oil is not worth much. You can use it as you like."
Of course, An Changqing couldn't take it for nothing, and he could see it now that the people of Yanzhou were not rich, so he insisted on giving money in the end.
I bought lamb oil and went to buy other bits and pieces. Xiao Zhige didn't let An Changqing take it, he carried it all by himself. If the people of Yanzhou didn't know him, he would look like a servant who went out with a rich boy.
The people had never seen such a general before, and they all cast friendly and curious eyes.
There are also the girls who had previously admired Xiao Zhige. At first, they thought about which male fox spirit was robbing them, but I heard that the princess had brought food and grass to Yanzhou, and when I looked again, I found that there was no male fox spirit, but there was a male fox spirit. A fair and handsome boy. This time, they didn't care about the aggressiveness, and they all blushed and whispered: "Princess is so handsome, it's me... I like him too!"
…
After shopping, the two returned to the General's Mansion with their curious eyes along the way. When they reached the door, they saw Xiao Zhige suddenly stop and said coldly, "Get out!"
An Changqing was puzzled when he saw a few heads pop up from behind the wall on the other side, and one of them he recognized was Vice General Qi Weiqi.
In addition to Qi Wei, there were three other men, all tall and strong, all covered in tendons. They should all be generals under Xiao Zhige.
Seeing that the four of them were looking at him, An Changqing hesitated for a while, then smiled back at them.
The four of them jumped out, headed by Qi Wei, and stood in a row, with smiles on their faces: "I have seen the princess!"
After calling Qi Wei, he said again: "It's so unfamiliar to call the princess! It should be called the sister-in-law!"
After speaking, the four of them called out "I have seen my sister-in-law" in unison.
Xiao Zhige's face turned black at the side: "What are you doing? Leave your posts without permission, and go back to get thirty boards each!"
Qi Wei shrank his neck and begged for mercy: "Don't, we are afraid that my sister-in-law will not be used to it, so we came here to deliver things." He gestured to the back frantically, and saw a few soldiers come over with an ox cart, piled on top of it. A bunch of bells and whistles. An Changqing even saw a hexagonal carved stove.
Xiao Zhige's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand impatiently: "The things are taken, you all get out."
Qi Wei and the others didn't dare to continue to stroke the tiger's beard, Baba stretched his neck and said, "Sister-in-law has something to do, just tell us!"
Before An Changqing could speak, he saw Xiao Zhige pick up the whip from the car and threw it at them impolitely. A few people yelled twice and quickly slipped away.
"Don't you need to leave them for a cup of tea after sending so many things?" An Changqing looked a little embarrassed when he looked at the car full of things, not valuables, but practical ones.
Xiao Zhige's face was still dark, and he was very disgusted with these subordinates: "They are just looking for an excuse to go out and watch the fun, don't worry about them."
Hu Yanxun only retired today, and they had food and grass again. The skin on these people loosened and they began to wander around looking for trouble. Xiao Zhige thought in his heart that he should find something for them tomorrow, but he didn't show it on his face, and said to An Changqing: "First ask someone to move things in, and keep what is suitable for use."
An Changqing gave a "hmm" and went in with him.
…
When things are set up, it is time to rest.
He had only washed during the day, and An Changqing only scrubbed. On the couch, Xiao Zhige had just finished changing the medicine, and was playing with a small porcelain jar containing lamb oil.
Seeing that An Changqing came back from the front room, he patted the warm bed: "Come up."
An Changqing got into the bedding. Although it was spring, the night was still cold. He rubbed his hands and put his feet on Xiao Zhige's legs, just in time to keep warm.
Xiao Zhige squeezed his hand, looked at it carefully for a while under the candlelight, and said, "It's a lot rough."
He opened the small porcelain jar, dug out a piece of milky white lamb oil and rubbed it on the back of his hand, gently massaging each finger until the lamb oil was completely dissolved, and the hand in his palm became delicate and smooth again. . His frowning brows loosened.
An Changqing wiped his face with oiled hands, and said with a smile, "Why do you wipe it for me? You don't wipe it yourself?"
"Sura Wushen"
"I'm used to being rough, so I don't need to wipe."
While speaking, Xiao Zhige dug out one of his feet from the bedding again. An Changqing's feet were whiter than her hands, her feet|toes were tender and round, but the soles of her feet were already dry, and if they didn't care for a while, they would be chapped. He dug out another chunk of lamb oil and rubbed it on his feet. Xiao Zhige massaged the oil away and said, "Buy more cans of lamb oil next time."
An Changqing gave a "uh" and curled her toes: "Will your lord wipe it for me every day?"
He was just joking and saying it casually, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhige to say "um" without hesitation, and said, "I'll wipe it for you later."
The author has something to say: Cowardly: Well, the skin is so tender, it can't be broken.
