Long Xiyue's nose was sour, her eyes turned red, remembering that Zijuan had grown up with her since she was a child, and she was like a sister to Zijuan, it can be said that Zijuan was one of the few people she could trust in this world, but she didn't expect that she would betray herself.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The matter has come to this, we can only make mistakes, she pretends to be your identity, and goes to Yongdu instead of you, fortunately, there are not many people who have seen your true face, although Wu Jingshan knows that Zijuan is not a princess, but he thinks that you have encountered an accident, and he will never dare to tell the truth." ” Long Xiyue sighed faintly, the development of things had already exceeded her imagination, Hu Xiaotian had done everything he could to rescue her, but people were not as good as heaven after all, it seemed that even he didn't expect it to be the current situation.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm going to wronged you in the past two days, for the time being, I will arrange for you to follow my side to be responsible for guarding, and by the way, help me take care of the horses, Zhanpeng will quietly protect you, and when we leave Nanyang Water Village and go to Yongdu, I will look for a suitable opportunity to help you escape." ” Long Xiyue shook her head and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'm not going anywhere." ” Hu Xiaotian was slightly stunned.
Perhaps afraid that Hu Xiaotian wouldn't understand what he meant, Long Xiyue added: "Where the adults go, the little ones will go there."
She added some dry wood to the campfire, and said softly: "After so many things, the adults are already physically and mentally exhausted, so it is better to go back early to rest, no matter what happens, we will talk about it tomorrow." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, this is the only way for now, the human skin mask that Qin Yutong gave him really came in handy, Long Xiyue not only wore a human skin mask, but also took a voice changing pill, otherwise her soft and glutinous voice would be exposed as long as she spoke.
After taking the voice changing pills, he spoke in a rough voice.
In addition, she tries to avoid talking to others to avoid arousing suspicion.
Before returning to the camp, Hu Xiaotian quietly handed Long Xiyue the unused rainstorm pear flower needle for her to defend herself in case of danger.
It's easy to change her appearance, but it's hard to change her behavior, and Long Xiyue pretended to have an ankle injury.
Walking with a limp, it can somewhat hide her graceful gait.
In order to hide people's eyes, Hu Xiaotian ruthlessly asked her to watch herself outside for the night, Long Xiyue has never suffered such hardships since she was a child, but although she has a gentle temperament, she is extremely strong in her bones, she has not slept for a moment this night, guarding the bonfire, thinking about her daughter's thoughts.
I stayed up all night without sleeping.
The early morning of Nanyang Water Village came very late, the morning fog of the whole Water Village was shrouded, although the river wind was not big, but it penetrated into the mouth of the people's clothing leader, Long Xiyue just dozed off, and was awakened by the biting cold wind, and couldn't help but sneeze twice in succession.
When I opened my eyes, I found that the bonfire in front of me had been extinguished.
Wisps of green smoke rose from the fire, and there was a shabby cotton coat on his shoulders.
She opened the curtain door of the tent, only to find that Hu Xiaotian had already left.
Long Xiyuefang's heart suddenly panicked, she stood up and looked around, but saw Zhan Peng walking over with Xiao Ash, and Zhan Peng smiled at her: "The adult saw that you were asleep and put a cotton coat on you." ” Long Xiyue's pretty face was hot.
Fang's heart is extremely warm, and the brocade clothes and jade food can't compare to the shabby cotton clothes of the lover, she tightened the cotton clothes on her body, and whispered: "Brother Zhan, what do I have to do?"
Zhan Peng said: "Lord Hu has gone to find a place to bury our brothers, you take Xiao Ash to eat some water and grass."
Take it for another walk, don't go far, don't leave my sight. ” Long Xiyue nodded, took the reins from Zhan Peng's hand and went to feed the horse.
Hu Xiaotian was found by Liu Yuncai early in the morning, but Li Shenzhou had already done Tang Boxi's work and agreed that they would bury these soldiers on the spot, but they could not be buried within the scope of Nanyang Water Village, and they needed to find another place outside the Water Village, Tang Boxi asked them to leave the Water Village three miles away.
In fact, there is wasteland everywhere outside Nanyang Water Village, Hu Xiaotian called Zhou Zhou Mo together, the two borrowed two horses from Water Village and left the Water Village, all the way to the west, and found a barren grass mound three miles west of Water Village, Hu Xiaotian turned over and dismounted, and tied the horse to a crooked neck pine tree.
Zhou Mo also followed his pace, the two walked to the grassy hill, raised their eyes, but saw that the Yongjiang River was still shrouded in white mist, and the Nanyang Water Village was not far to the east, but because of the morning fog, they couldn't see the outline of the water village.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's right here, far enough away from Nanyang Water Village, and when the weather is fine, you should be able to see the other side of the Yongjiang River from here, and that side is the territory of our Dakang." ” Zhou Mo nodded, and said solemnly: "I don't know when I will be able to return their bones to their hometown." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "When did the eldest brother become so sentimental, they still have a place to bury their bones, if we make a mistake, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find a place to bury." ” Zhou Mo couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say this, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "If such a big thing happens, we can still come here alive, which is enough to prove that your life is big enough." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not too bad, at least we are all alive."
"If there are still some regrets, then the biggest regret is that Zhou Mo didn't have time to escape smoothly with Long Xiyue, and was discovered by Yongjun halfway and had to accompany them to Yongdu.
Zhou Mo said in a low voice: "Someone is coming" As soon as his words fell, Hu Xiaotian also heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and soon a group of figures appeared under the grassy hill, but it was Liu Yuncai who came with a group of Dayong soldiers following their footsteps.
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "General Liu, are you in a hurry to follow because you are afraid that we will escape?"
Liu Yuncai said: "Father-in-law Hu is our Dayong's honored guest, why do you want to escape?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "Just kidding." ” Liu Yuncai said: "General Li asked me to pick up Lord Hu back, saying that there is something important to discuss." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Okay" Liu Yuncai said: "Gonggong Hu has chosen a good cemetery" Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Good luck, can General Liu say something auspicious early in the morning." ” Liu Yuncai said with a smile: "I'm stupid, it should be Gonggong Hu who helped those dead choose a good cemetery" Hu Xiaotian said: "I think it's okay here, it meets the conditions of General Tang, it is three miles away from Nanyang Water Village, and the terrain is higher, even if the water level rises in the future, it will not be able to flood here, and the souls of those brothers can still see their homeland here."
What does General Liu think?"
Liu Yuncai said: "Gonggong Hu thinks it's good, let's go back and talk to General Tang." ” Hu Xiaotian glanced at Zhou Mo, and the two got on the horse and followed Liu Yuncai and his party back to Nanyang Water Village.
Just enter the gate of the water village, the sun rises from the east, the morning fog dissipates in a short time, the sky is clear, blue like a pure sea, no wind and sand, no haze, the undulating pine forest on both sides of the Yongjiang River, revealing the crispness of washing, the sun is very warm, in the distant sky, vaguely see a few thin clouds like light yarn.
The smell of plants and damp mugwort was in the air, and it didn't smell good.
Smoke rose from many places in the water village, and soldiers were making fires to cook.
Hu Xiaotian saw dozens of wooden boxes stacked in his camp, all of which were dowries salvaged from the river.
The Dayong soldiers had strict military discipline, and no one tampered with their belongings.
Wu Jingshan, the secretary of the Dakang Rites Department, was counting the items on the spot, and after this catastrophe, there was no way to recover all the items, and the dowry was only one-third of what they brought.
Hu Xiaotian came to Wu Jingshan's side and said, "Lord Wu, how is the situation?"
Wu Jingshan smiled bitterly: "I found some luggage and dowry, but most of them are still lost, and I don't know how to explain to Your Majesty in the future." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently: "Money is something outside the body, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess is safe and sound, we will not be dishonored." ” Wu Jingshan had a bitter face, he knew that the current princess was also an impostor, Hu Xiaotian's hand could be described as a dangerous move, if someone saw that it was wrong, then how many heads they had would not be enough to cut off, but at the moment there was only this way, if they said that the princess was dead, there was no chance that they would see the sun tomorrow.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Open all the boxes, dry them well, and rearrange them by the way." ” Wu Jingshan nodded and told those warriors to hurry up.
At this time, Li Shenzhou and Tang Boxi came over together, Hu Xiaotian and Wu Jingshan stepped forward together, bowed and said: "General Tang and General Li, thank you for saving your life." ” Tang Boxi's attitude seemed to be much better today, and when he saw Hu Xiaotian, he laughed and said: "Father-in-law Hu, I drank too much last night, and I hope to take care of me when I don't go anywhere, I am a rough person, you must not be like me." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "General Tang is too polite, I like your straightforward and bold temperament the most, nothing can compare to your life-saving grace to us." ” Li Shenzhou smiled slightly, looked at Wu Jingshan and said, "Is Lord Wu well?"
Wu Jingshan said in fear: "It's much better, I'm ashamed to say it, I'm old, my body is weak, and the old man had a splitting headache yesterday, so I didn't go to see the two generals, and I hope the two of you don't blame." ” Li Shenzhou said: "Lord Wu is a well-known Confucian in the world, and Shen Zhou has admired him for a long time. ” Wu Jingshan said modestly: "Where do you dare to be, General Li is both civil and military, and the old man has been famous for a long time." ” Obedient and listening, Hu Xiaotian heard that the meaning of Li Shenzhou's words was clearly to go to Yongdu with them, and he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and said with a smile: "Is General Li going to Yongdu with us?"
Li Shenzhou nodded and said, "I asked Lord Hu to come back to discuss this matter, I just received an order from the Seventh Prince, asking me to escort Princess Anping to Yongdu as soon as possible." ” Whether there are a hundred monthly passes or not, the third update has been sent, the recent update has been slow, and it takes a process to pick up the character, and the octopus understands that I have never left, and I hope you will not give up the unfinished future
