It was more than half an hour after Mrs. Qiao returned to Qiao's house. Her two children were waiting for her in the hall of the main courtyard. As soon as she returned, both of them eagerly welcomed her.
Qiao Shenyu was wearing a lake dyed gold robe, with black hair tied high with a white jade clasp, and was dignified; Qiao Ruolan was dressed in bright satin, pink and purple lace, with long pommel and pomegranate beads on the temples trembling slightly with her style.
Every time she looked at these wonderful children, Mrs. Qiao felt comforted. Her husband is so incompetent that she can only rely on this pair of children.
"Mother," Qiao Shenyu said after saluting, "what does uncle say?" His eyes were burning at Mrs. Joe.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at Qiao Shenyu and did not answer immediately. She went in until she sat down on the top of the chair. Then she nodded slowly: "I will take the horse myself. Can your uncle not agree?"
"That's nature." Qiao Shenyu kneaded his shoulder for Mrs. Qiao attentively, "uncle, he has always been closest to your mother."
Mrs. Qiao patted her son's hand and earnestly admonished her: "brother Yu, the last time you strove the people in Southwest China, your uncle was upset. This time, I also talked about it, and then I made your uncle nod. Yu Ge'er, you have to be good at this job. Let your uncle see what you can do
"Don't worry, mother." Qiao Shenyu confidently held his head high. "Can't you trust your son?"
Mrs. Qiao looked at her son with a smile, and her expression was very kind: "brother Yu, my mother is waiting for you to earn a military merit." Step down Tian Detao!
Qiao Shenyu was in high spirits. He seemed to have seen the day when he returned to his hometown. He clasped his fist and said, "mother, I'll go down to prepare for it."
Qiao Shenyu quickly stepped down, and Qiao Ruolan on one side had been holding back for a long time.
Seeing her brother go far away, she bit her lower lip and asked anxiously, "mother, he Did he ever... " She was embarrassed to twist the veil, face pan peach blossom, eyes in the wave light flow, the lip corner of the affectionate look is clearly moving the heart.
Ah, Mrs. Qiao sighed in her heart. A daughter has just grown up in my family. It seems that her daughter is really interested in the comfort marquis.
Madame Qiao hesitated for a moment, but she still replied, "I asked your uncle. The comfort Marquis has not married yet." Even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't hide it.
Hearing this, Qiao Ruolan was ecstatic. Her eyes were full of dazzling splendor. The corners of her mouth were cocked up and her heart beat like a deer.
"Sister LAN," said Mrs. Qiao, frowning and gently persuading her, "listen to my mother. I think it's wrong for her to be at ease. Although he is of high position and weight, his body is not good at first sight..." In the future, there will be less fun in the boudoir. What's more, if you die young, how can you leave orphans and widows?! "Sister LAN, my mother is for you. My mother has already inquired about it. The third master Fu has made great achievements this time. He is also the emperor's nephew. His future will be limitless, and the Marquis and worship will be in the near future... "
But before Mrs. Qiao finished speaking, Qiao Ruolan stood up with a trace of impatience on her face and said, "mother, my brother is going to leave in a few days. I think you are busy with trivial matters and have many things to prepare for your brother. Your daughter will not disturb you." With that, jorolan left without looking back.
Mrs. Joe's eyes widened in disbelief, and her heart went straight to her head. If Joe dared, she would have turned her face on others. It's my own daughter!
My daughter has been obedient since she was a child and has outstanding talent and learning. She never let herself worry. Unexpectedly, mother and daughter have such a big difference in marriage!
Mrs. Qiao's chest heaved violently. She could not help complaining to mother Hu: "the old saying is very good. Children are in debt. You can't come without debt."
"Ma'am, the Lord of ease is the Savior of the girl. No wonder she..."
Mrs. Qiao was also very grateful for the comfort Hou, but this gratitude disappeared as early as Qiao Ruolan's obsession. She said coldly, "I don't know what kind of poison did the comfortable Hou put on her sister LAN." His daughter is really fascinated by him!
Mammy Hu was smiling, but she didn't dare to agree.
Mrs. Qiao pinched her handkerchief, frowned and said, "no, I'm going to fix the marriage of sister LAN."
"Ma'am, but the battle ahead is not over, and I don't know when Mr. Fu will be back..."
After mother Hu mentioned this, Mrs. Qiao could not help but feel annoyed and said, "just now I should ask the Lord when the third master Fu will come back." Master Fu San is such a good son-in-law. Xiao Fei can't take it away.
But in the end, Fu Yunhe has to wait for Fu Yunhe to come back to make a difference. At present, she still has to help her son prepare the luggage for going out.
Mrs. Qiao personally took people to Qiao Shenyu, helped to sort out the things, and ordered the maid and wife to prepare this and that. After nearly an hour's work, she managed these trivial matters.
When she came back to her house and took a breath of hot tea, she remembered that she would talk to Qiao Xingyao about her son's going to Huiling city."Purple perilla, go and see if the master is back?" Said Madame Qiao, turning her head.
The round face maid with a blue-green Tuzi's round face suddenly shrank, her eyes twinkled, and she bent her knees and said, "madam, master The master went to Aunt Yu. " Since her aunt Qiao Yiu had been in hsingmen for a month and a half, she had been loved by her aunt.
"This fox charmer!" Mrs. Qiao threw the tea cup out of her hand. The porcelain pieces splashed and the hot tea spilled all over the floor
I don't want to talk about Qiao's house.
Since the great victory came from the front, there are many families who want to send their children to Huiling city for military exploits. For a time, all the residences in Luoyue city are busy, and they are busy with human relations
When Qiao Shenyu arrived at the camp of Luoyue City three days later, he saw two familiar faces in his entourage.
Qiao Shenyu's face became stiff for a moment. He said to them as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Chang!"
The two men were Yu Xiufan, the fourth son of Yu Jiangfu, and Chang Huaixi, the fifth son of General Chang's residence. Obviously, these two people want to go to Huiling city for military merit. They are shameless! I can't be compared with them!
Qiao Shenyu vowed in his heart.
What do you think in the bottom of people's hearts and don't mention it, but on the surface, they are all happy.
Not long after, Li Xiaowei arrived. Seeing that there were three or four more carriages in the team, and all of them were the private property of these childish brothers, he became angry and ordered everyone to carry only one package of luggage, otherwise he would not go.
As a result, all the carriages were left behind, and the three men, with only a few changed clothes, went on the road in a hurry.
Li Xiaowei led the logistics camp to set out in a mighty way.
When they arrived at Huiling City, it was a few days later. Qiao Shenyu thought that he could finally have a good rest. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaowei got Xiao Yi's military order from the situ Garrison and rushed to yandingcheng. Qiao Shenyu could only follow them on.
A group of people finally arrived at yandingcheng when the sun set in the west the next day.
As soon as they heard that they were coming to deliver grain and forage, the guards at the gate checked the token and immediately opened the gate to meet them.
"Li Xiaowei," Shouzheng said excitedly, "I'm looking forward to you. Those damned Nanliang people who occupied Yanding city were both slaughtering and looting. Now the people in the city are waiting for the supplies you brought with them to help them in an emergency... "
In those dark days, the common people were simply miserable. Although the shiziye ordered people to send some grain and grass to Yanding city after he killed Yanding City, the food and grass were all saved by the southern Xinjiang army and Huiling City, which could only last for a few days Fortunately, there is food and grass at last! Seeing these grains and grasses, Shouzheng's heart is a burst of happiness, yandingcheng finally survived!
Business matters. Li Xiaowei and Shouzheng entered the city without saying a few words. Qiao Shenyu rode behind Li Xiaowei and looked around carelessly. Yanding city was depressed and dead, emitting a sense of lethargy.
Yesterday, Qiao Shenyu saw that in addition to entering and leaving the city, all the other affairs in the city were in good order. He thought that Yanding city was almost the same. However, he did not expect that yandingcheng was in such a depressed state. Many houses were dilapidated, and there were still dark red blood stains on the walls and the ground. The smell of blood lingered on the tip of his nose.
Qiao Shenyu coughed uncomfortably and adjusted his posture slightly on the horse's back. He felt like a needle in a needle. If it was not for the sake of military merit, he would not have been able to stay.
A group of people soon arrived outside the garrison house. The soldiers were on standby outside the garrison house, while Li Xiaowei and three young princes were welcomed into the garrison house.
Finally, we can have a rest. Qiao Shenyu yawned lazily and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li Xiaowei, shiziye is waiting for you in the study. Please come with me." A soldier led Li Xiaowei to his study in a hurry.
Qiao Shenyu thought that he was also Xiao Yi's cousin, so he also wanted to follow him to say hello. However, a man with a general appearance stopped him and said, "Mr. Qiao, Mr. Chang, Mr. Yu, and Yan Dingcheng are now in full swing. It was just when he needed manpower that the prince learned that the three princes were coming and ordered him to pass military orders to them."
Qiao Shenyu was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi's military orders came before he could breathe. Is this too urgent? Although he came to take advantage of his military exploits, he also wanted to take a rest for a few days
Yu Xiufan couldn't wait to ask: "big brother Well, I mean, I don't know what you want from the son of heaven? "
Chang Huaixi on one side looked at Yu Xiufan quickly and kept silent. He was also brought up in Luoyue city. Naturally, he knew that many famous dandies like Yu Xiufan used to follow shiziye, calling each other brothers and following him as his leader. And Qiao Shenyu is Xiao Yi's cousin. That is to say, he is the only one of the three who has no relationship with shiziye.
General manager Jing Qian said: "three young masters, when the city was attacked on that day, both our army and Nanliang people were killed and injured. Many corpses were distributed outside the city. If they are not handled in time, the decay of the corpses will easily pollute the water source and lead to the epidemic. Shiziye has ordered all the officers and the people of the city to search the city for several days, and basically clean up and burn the bodies in the city. Now the bodies outside the city are being cleaned up, which bothers the three young masters. "Clean up, burn bodies?!
The corner of Yu Xiufan's mouth took a puff, and his handsome face almost collapsed. He said in his heart: big brother is really not friendly No way, big brother's order, no matter how miserable it is As a matter of fact, burning corpses is a very easy job, although it's disgusting. Yu Xiufan has some hair in his heart and can only comfort himself constantly.
Chang Huaixi's face is not very good-looking, a turbid gas stuffy in the chest, almost blurted out: by what?!
He is a general of three generations, and has served under the old prince since his grandfather. Is it not to humiliate himself when he gives him such a cheap job?
Chang Huaixi clenched his fist. After all, he didn't say anything. He watched Yu Xiufan and Qiao Shenyu without any trace.
Qiao Shenyu's whole face was frozen. He could not believe his ears. His face was white and blue, and he could not hide the disgust in his eyes.
"Brother," Qiao Shenyu said to the chief executive, "can I see Yi first The son of a generation? " He thought that when he met Xiao Yi, he would change his job for himself!
Who would have thought, just now the genial King Qian general manager changed his face in an instant, a pair of single eyelid thin eyes were murderous, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
"Mr. Qiao," Mr. Jing Qian's voice was so cold that he almost fell into ice. "What I said just now is shiziye's military order! Don't you want to disobey the military order
Disobeying military orders?! Qiao Shenyu's pupils shrank sharply. Last time, because of the matter of pacifying the people in Southwest China, he had received 30 army sticks. He was beaten to pieces and lay on the couch for more than a month.
Qiao Shenyu gave a dry smile and quickly changed his mouth: "how can it be?! How can I disobey the military order. "
Yu Xiufan secretly held back a smile. He saw that although Qiao was the cousin of his eldest brother Xiao Yi, he didn't know much about his heart. Although he liked to play, he said nothing about business. But Qiao Shenyu had to hit the edge of the knife! What a pity!
Chang Huaixi half droops his eyes, and his eyes flash a touch of violence. I guess he wants to give them a bad power, right? Hum, I see the move is!
Without paying any more attention to Qiao Shenyu, Jing Chang directly said, "three young masters, please follow me down..."
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi have followed up. Although Qiao Shenyu is unwilling, he still takes this step after biting.
General manager Jing Qian personally led three people out of the city from the south gate. At this time, the sky was already yellow, and only the West sky left a touch of red.
A huge wooden platform has been built on an open space outside the city.
In the distance, I just saw a line of five soldiers escorting this carriage to this side. As the corpse came closer, I could see that the corpse was more and more thick
When the cool night wind blows, the stench will come face-to-face and diffuse around, making people nauseous.
Qiao Shenyu's face was as white as paper. His stomach was tumbling and he almost didn't vomit.
"Dada Da..."
All was quiet, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of wheels as the carriage advanced.
The soldiers stopped in front of the general manager. The commander in charge of the team came forward and said, "Mr. Qian, the body within a mile has been cleaned up. Is it..."
During the conversation, when the carriage stopped at the rear, we could clearly see a miserable corpse piled on it, dripping with blood. It was hot in southern Xinjiang. Most of the corpses had rotted. We could clearly see countless white maggots wriggling between clothes and flesh, and there were flies all around, making a "buzzing" sound.
Qiao Shenyu's ears were buzzing. He couldn't hear anything.
"Vomit --"
he could no longer restrain his nausea and turned to vomit madly in the grass
Looking at Qiao Shenyu's vomiting, Chang Huaixi's eyes flashed a touch of contempt, and forced to suppress the nausea in his heart.
"Ouch I'm sorry... "
For a moment, only listen to Qiao Shenyu's vomiting sound in the air.
After a while, Xiao Yi in the garrison house learned what happened at the gate of the city.
“…… That Mr. Qiao is not as good as a woman or a child. " King Qian said, "according to the end will see, he will not last a few days to come to you to say goodbye." In recent days, there are many old and weak women and children in Yanding City helping to clean up the corpses in the city. Who is as delicate as Mr. Qiao? "The other two childres seem to be OK for the moment." I just don't know what will happen when I do it.
Xiao Yi picked up a smile from the corner of his mouth and went to the window to look out into the sky in the south.
With his distance and angle, we can not see the gate of the city, but we can see the white smoke rising and rushing into the night sky crazily
It must be the burning of corpses outside the city
Since he settled in Yanding City, he has to burn his corpses at this time every night. Thousands of corpses have been found. Most of them can't identify their identities, and there is no time to identify them. The corpses must be burned as soon as possible!This is war, cruel and helpless.
Xiao Yi looked up at the night sky for a long time and then said, "don't pay attention to them. Even if anyone wants to go back, he has to finish the work for his son of heaven."
When Qiao Shenyu, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi arrived, Xiao Yi got the news. Obviously, these three people were brought here by their families to do some military merit.
Of course, Xiao Yi knows that this kind of thing can't be avoided. However, if you want to make military achievements, you have to pay something. Whether it is Yu Xiufan or Qiao Shenyu or Chang Huaixi, as long as they have the ability, he is welcome!
In this city, a lot of things are waiting for people to do.
"Yes, Prince." General manager Jing Qian takes orders with his fists in his hands and retreats respectfully.
Xiao Yi stood still at the window for a moment, then turned to the book and sat down to deal with his official business.
Each time a city is recovered from the enemy's hands, it represents not the end, but the beginning of hardship.
The former prefect and garrison of Yanding city had already been sacrificed when the city was broken. Xiao Yi recently promoted one of his five grade Wude generals who had made great contributions to guard Yanding city. However, the post of prefect needs to wait for the imperial court's approval. I'm afraid it will take some time for the new magistrate to take office. Now he has to deal with all the little things in the city.
repairs the walls, rebuilds the household lands, counts the storehouses, replaces the two city officials, and disposes the southern cool descending soldiers. Xiao Yi is so busy with all kinds of affairs that he can only comfort himself and wait for Xiaobai to come.
This night, after Xiao Yi finished his work, it was already the second watch.
Looking at the early days, the bamboo outside the study finally couldn't help but go into the room and advised: "Shizi, it's time for you to rest..." After that, he added, "if you are tired, the princess will be worried."
Xiao Yi ignored him and wrote hard. After writing two sheets of paper, he stopped writing and handed it to bamboo, saying, "go and send it to shizifei!" A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled in the candlelight.
Bamboo doesn't need to read the letter. You can also guess that his son-in-law is playing coquetry with his son's concubine in the letter. He took the letter, answered with a smile, and went down briskly.
Thinking of his smelly girl, Xiao Yi had a good night's sleep. The next morning, as usual, he heard the chicken dance, played a set of fists, and then bathed and changed clothes.
Then, he was surrounded by a group of generals to inspect the city defense of Yanding.
After the renovation in the past few days, many gaps in the city walls have been repaired. The color of the old and new stone bricks is significantly different. It is like a garment that has been repeatedly repaired, showing a sense of vicissitudes after a disaster.
They walked along the city wall. After a while, they saw many soldiers in armor repairing the city wall. Some of them built bricks and some made mud. Some people also came to help, and from time to time they made clanging sounds.
As he walked, Li shoubei reported: "shiziye, when the city was attacked that day, many of the city walls were damaged by the catapults, which had been repaired for several days. At least half of them had not been able to repair them. I'm afraid we need more manpower. In terms of bricks, at the end of the day, I will try to find a few houses without people in the city, and tear down their walls to rescue them. "
Xiao Yi looked at Mr. Jing Qianzong: "can you send out people there?"
General manager Jing Qian quickly replied: "Shizi, the body has been cleaned up. In two days, you can send another 100 or so people to repair the city wall."
Li shoubei pondered for a moment and then said, "in this way, the city wall should be repaired in five days."
In the words, the gate appeared in the public's view. There were two long lines near the gate. The people were all dressed in rags and in poor shape. At a glance, most of them were old and weak.
Seeing Xiao Yi's eyes looking over there, Li shoubei explained: "Shizi, the grain and forage were delivered yesterday, so he immediately ordered people to start distributing rice at the end of the inventory."
At that time, Nanliang people slaughtered the city for three days in Yanding city. They killed most of the young and middle-aged people in the city, leaving only the old and the weak and the disabled as their driving force. Many women in the city suffered cruel and inhuman injuries, unable to be humiliated and committed suicide.
Often see these poor people, the soldiers are filled with righteous indignation, empathy.
Zheng Shen, who had a big beard, said indignantly, "it's still too cheap for those Nanliang people!"
"Yes Fu Yunhe wrung his wrist and said, "if it hadn't been for our magic arm crossbow, we wouldn't have let that Icarus escape on that day Elder brother, this magic arm crossbow is really a sharp weapon. Let's prepare more. " With that, he looked at Xiao Yi with burning eyes.
In the two wars of recovering Yanding city and Yongjia City, the divine arm camp and the divine arm crossbow played an important role. Xiao Yi also wants to expand the establishment, but the problem is, he has no money! The three thousand people's holy arm camp almost used up all the food cities that stinky girl had granted her.
Unfortunately, the officers and men did not know. They all saw the power of the magic arm crossbow. Therefore, Fu Yunhe's saying was a continuous response.
"If we set up another two magic arms camp, we will beat the hell out of those Nanliang dogs!" Zheng Shen will interface way, voice unconsciously raised, eyes just on the front of a three or four year old boy.The boy's black eyes are round and his mouth is slightly open. It seems that he is frightened. In the blink of an eye, his eyes are full of tears
The old woman, worried about the child's head, looked down at the boy's right hand
The boy's other hand tightly held the old woman's skirt, his lips shriveled, as if he were about to cry in the next moment.
Zheng Shen was stiff all over. He did nothing at all.
Fu Yunhe on one side grinned hard and frowned at Zheng Shen impolitely, as if to say, who made you look fierce and still frighten people outside!
