The battle between Wen Yantong and Mu Yang finally came to an end with the two sides talking harshly to each other.
On the dinner table at noon that day, there were both fried mushrooms and cold salad, so the two temporarily shook hands to make peace and shared with each other.
That night, Wen Yantong washed her long hair and sat on the side of the bed, and took out a drawing from under the table, which showed the general terrain around Yibei.
Yibei is a big city surrounded by dozens of small counties and towns. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has fertile land.
Wen Yantong calculated the plot of the original book, according to the development of the original text, before the winter, Chi Jingxi fought the enemy three times, each time he won by a narrow margin, and failed to drive the enemy out of Shaojing.
Finally, after the winter, the severe cold brought heavy snow, which caused the enemy's supplies to go wrong on the way, and Chi Jingxi defeated the enemy with all his might.
But Wen Yantong remembered that there was one time when Chi Jingxi had a chance to wipe out the enemy, but because he guessed wrongly their retreat route, he let them escape.
If you can guess the enemy's retreat route at that time, you can leave Yibei before winter comes.
When Wen Yantong was watching seriously, Chi Jingxi knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that her hair was still wet, she found a brocade cloth to wipe it for her without saying anything.
Wen Yantong fiddled with her hair casually, "It's okay, do it quickly."
The weather in Yibei was dry and it was summer, so Wen Yantong didn't bother to brush his hair.
Chi Jingxi said bitterly, "Yibei doesn't need to sing songs. The climate here changes a lot, and the night is cool. If you don't pay attention, you will get sick. When Yang Er came here, he was sick for ten days or so."
"That's because he's stupid." Wen Yantong said silently.
Chi Jingxi smiled and did not refute.
Originally, discipline was strict in the army, everyone had their own things to do, and it was quiet for several days in a row. But after Wen Yantong came, the place became lively.
Chi Jingxi likes this kind of excitement. He used to be a quiet person, because it was easier to concentrate on doing things in a quiet environment, but later found that life would be more interesting if it was lively.
Accustomed to the noisy days, when he returned to the tranquility of the past, he felt very uncomfortable.
Wen Yantong wiped his hair with Chi Jingxi's not-so-gentle technique, pointed to the terrain on the paper and said, "Young Lord, look at what this is."
Hearing this, Chi Jingxi leaned over to take a look, and said, "It looks like a canyon."
"It's a canyon. Take the water from Meimei Mountain and go down to the bottom of the canyon. There is a large area of depression above the canyon. Is this terrain the most suitable for ambush?" Wen Yantong asked.
Chi Jingxi was a little puzzled, looked at the paper, then at her, "How do you know there is a depression above this canyon?"
"I heard what the locals said." Wen Yantong said vaguely.
Fortunately, Chi Jingxi didn't bother to be suspicious of her long ago, and only said, "If there is really a depression, it would be a good place to set up an ambush."
"Look," Wen Yantong said, pointing to the terrain on the paper, "if you attack the enemy from here, they will definitely go to the canyon from this road, because after going out of the canyon, there are mountains and forests, which are easier to hide. You are walking from Meimei Mountain, and the other side of the mountain is the current. Taking a bamboo raft along the water will definitely reach the canyon one step faster than them, and then climb to the top of the canyon... "
"But how can you be sure that they will go to the canyon by this road?" Chi Jingxi pointed at the road under her finger.
Wen Yantong clicked his tongue, "I will definitely go this way, trust me."
"I think your plan lacks rigor." Chi Jingxi said truthfully.
Wen Yantong frowned, "Why are you lacking in rigor? Didn't I explain everything clearly to you?"
Chi Jingxi said, "The enemy's actions are unpredictable. We have to consider multiple ways. If they retreat from another way, isn't that a futile plan?"
Wen Yantong thought for a while and said, "Then this plan can be used as a hidden plan. When you hold a meeting, just talk about other plans."
Wen Yantong is only eight points sure.
Because the key to the success of this plan is heavy rain.
A heavy rain that caused the river to swell and break its banks, causing minor floods. Wen Yantong remembered very clearly that the heavy rain spread all over the Yibei area at the end of autumn.
As long as the heavy rain fills the depression above the canyon with water, people at the bottom of the canyon can be ambushed, so this plan must wait for the heavy rain to come.
Wen Yantong chatted with Chi Jingxi for half an hour, and suddenly felt a little hungry.
Thinking about it, because she had a fight with Mu Yang at noon, everyone usually finished eating late, and they were not hungry when it was time for dinner, so the group didn't eat dinner.
Wen Yantong turned his head and asked Chi Jingxi, "Young Master, are you hungry?"
Chi Jingxi looked down at her, "Are you hungry?"
Wen Yantong nodded, "My stomach is growling."
Chi Jingxi was about to get up, "I ordered someone to prepare meals."
"No need." Wen Yantong gave him a hand and said, "I'll do it, my cooking skills are pretty good."
It's not that Wen Yantong is boasting, but that when she grows up, she basically lives alone, eats too much takeaway, and always has to learn to cook by herself, so she thinks her cooking skills are not bad.
Thinking of the bowl of dark porridge in Nian'an Temple, Chi Jingxi was obviously suspicious, "You know how to cook?"
"Of course." Wen Yantong patted his chest proudly, "Just wait!"
She put on her robe and went out. Chi Jingxi sat in the room for a while, a little absent-minded, but in the end she was not at ease, got up and followed to the dining room.
Wen Yantong knew Chi Jingxi's taste. He occasionally eats spicy food, but usually slightly spicy food, so he decided to make two small stir-fried dishes for him.
The people in the dining room were planning to rest, but when they saw her coming suddenly, knowing her status in the house, they didn't dare to neglect her, and rushed to attack her.
Wen Yantong is quite skillful in cooking, when the onion, ginger and garlic are fried in the oil, the aroma will come out instantly.
When Chi Jingxi came to the dining room, he saw Yantong shaking the spoon like an old fritter, skillfully putting hot dishes on the plate, and quickly preparing the next dish.
He stood by the door and saw her busy, looking very focused.
The servants of the dining room found him and hurried up to worship, but he stopped him with gestures.
Two dishes and one soup are enough for two people. After Wen Yantong prepared the dishes, she realized that Chi Jingxi had been standing at the door for a long time. She suddenly laughed and waved to him, "Master, come quickly."
Chi Jingxi walked in with a smile, "Ready?"
"Come and taste the crystallization of my love." Wen Yantong took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried mushroom, blew it and handed it to Chi Jingxi.
The dishes just out of the pan are steaming hot, and they are delicious just by smelling them. Chi Jingxi opened his mouth to bite the fungus, raised his eyebrows slightly after entering the mouth, and looked at Wen Yantong unexpectedly.
"How?" Wen Yantong stared at him expectantly.
Chi Jingxi naturally did not hesitate to praise, "It's really delicious."
It's not just boasting. Compared with the dark porridge in Nian'an Temple, this dish is obviously more than one level delicious, and it can whet people's appetite all at once.
Wen Yantong happily ordered his servants to bring the food to the room, and the two secretly started a small stove.
Wen Yantong only remembered that Chi Jingxi liked the three dishes she made and ate a lot that night. But what I don't know is that in the second half of Chi Jingxi's life, no one delicious dish left him as impressed as the three dishes that night.
Every time he thinks about it, Chi Jingxi will remember that in the distant Yibei, on this night full of stars, Wen Yantong rolled up his sleeves, his beautiful eyes were full of anticipation, and that mouthful of food was fed into his mouth.
But that night, Muyang was so hungry that he rolled on the bed, and after many days of being honest, he and Wen Yantong unconsciously reached a short-term peaceful coexistence.
In the blink of an eye, it was the hottest time in midsummer, and Wen Yantong felt like he was about to sweat just lying in the room.
The Yibei area is remote, and the people here have long been accustomed to the scorching heat and harsh winter.
Chi Jingxi was afraid that Wen Yantong's body would not be able to bear it, so he ordered someone to pour ice cubes into her room, which made her feel better.
As soon as he went out, the sun was scorching, Wen Yantong didn't even have the energy to bicker with Mu Yang, and wished he could sleep with ice cubes every day.
Move the ice bucket to the bedside every time before going to bed. But Chi Jingxi said that the nights in Yibei were cold, and he was afraid that Wen Yantong would get sick, so he would quietly remove the ice bucket.
The temperature gradually rose, and the days seemed to slow down. Wen Yantong was taken care of very thoughtfully, and sometimes he forgot that this was the war-torn Yibei.
Just when it was stable, the enemy suddenly attacked the city.
On a hot afternoon when the cicadas were too lazy to sing, after Chi Jingxi received the news, he and Fu Zixian left the house in a hurry. Before leaving, he told Mu Yang to take care of Wen Yantong, and the two of them should not run around in the house.
In the past, when Mu Yang was left behind, he was unwilling in every possible way, but now it is different, now there is Wen Yantong. Wen Yantong needs protection, so Mu Yang is willing to stay.
When he walked outside Wen Yantong's room, he learned that Wen Yantong was still sleeping, so in order to prevent Wen Yantong from running around, he simply asked someone to move a chair and sit by the door.
After Wen Yantong woke up from a nap, when he opened the door, he saw Mu Yang sitting on the sidelines, the hair on his forehead was almost wet with sweat, he raised his eyes in a daze, "You finally woke up. "
"What are you doing sitting here?" Wen Yantong was shocked.
"I'm afraid you'll run around." Mu Yang said honestly.
Seeing his stupid appearance, Wen Yantong wished to slap him, and pulled him up, "Are you a pig? Come in!"
Mu Yang still muttered stubbornly, "Why am I a pig? If you ran from Chaoge to Yibei without saying a word, who knows if you will run around when you wake up, it's so dangerous outside now..."
Wen Yantong sighed, pulled him to sit beside the ice bucket, and found that the ice in the ice bucket was about to melt, so he hurriedly asked someone to add new ice.
She unbuttoned Mu Yang's clothes, "Hurry up, take off your coat, it's so hot outside, what if you get heatstroke?"
Mu Yang took off his coat slowly, Wen Yantong took the brocade cloth and soaked it in ice water, wrung it dry and hurriedly wiped Mu Yang's face and neck.
While wiping, she noticed a large patch of red on the back of Mu Yang's neck. She frowned, pulled down her clothes, and suddenly saw dense red spots in the patch of red.
Wen Yantong touched it with his fingers, "What is this?"
