Chapter 207

The Qian family arrived at the barracks smoothly.

As soon as she arrived at the military camp, Mrs. Qian immediately ordered Qian Qi to take people to save xiaobaoshan. She must ask Qian Qi to take people himself. There must be no accident in xiaobaoshan.

Qian Qi and others met Xiao Hei in confusion on the road.

At that time, Xiao Hei was on his way. He didn't know whether to advance or retreat. He was afraid that Qian Qi would scold him for being timid and retreat. He was afraid that Xiao Baoshan had been killed and he couldn't resist so many dead people himself.

Therefore, at the sight of Qian Qi, Xiaohei, a big man, couldn't help crying: "General Qian, General Xiao, he... I'm afraid..."

Knowing that he could not delay, Qian Qi immediately said, "where is he, take me immediately."

However, there were only a few corpses in a pass where the fight was going on, and the horses in Xiaobao mountain were there, but Xiaobao mountain could not be seen.

Next to this path is a high Gobi cliff. I don't know if Xiaobao mountain has fallen below.

But today, with the heavy rain, steep cliffs and the scouring of rain, Qian Qi can't let his men go down to find Xiaobao mountain at risk.

We had to go back to the camp first, and then go to the foot of the mountain by another way to find Xiaobao mountain.

……

Today's Baoning city is very lively.

Ye Xiaoxian, who lived in the post station, also knew that gongs and drums were noisy outside.

It is said that Qian Qi's troops are stationed.

Although the new emperor did not investigate Qian Qi's responsibility, he gave Qian Qifeng a great general for the western expedition, but Qian Qi still didn't dare to leave too many soldiers. He only left his Qian family army, and other reinforcements transferred from various places let them return to the submarine.

"Leaf, leaf, Qian Jiajun's people are coming. Let's go and see if Baoshan is inside!" Li Hongmei is very excited.

Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Baofeng are also very excited and want to pull Ye Xiaoxian.

Liu Yuanwai, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu were all in high spirits.

Ye Xiaoxian felt uneasy and uncomfortable. At the same time, she had a little temper.

She's a divorced person. If she sees him, what will she say?

If Xiao Baoshan, as they said, had to give him a divorce in order to protect her, it would make sense. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if Xiao Baoshan really wanted to divorce her and she returned?

Ye Xiaoxian smiled and said, "I'd better not go. You go."

"Why not?" Li Hongmei asked.

But then I thought, that's true. Although Ye has always regarded himself as the person of the Xiao family and has always protected the Xiao family, Baoshan was so excellent that anyone with a little self-esteem can't swallow it.

Well, let her do it.

Li Hongmei said, "OK, wait at home for the leaf. If I see Baoshan, I'll press him back and ask him to apologize to you in person, and then eight lift the sedan chair to marry you back!"

After that, Li Hongmei took Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Baofeng and left, and the rest followed.

The post house is empty.

……

On that day, Baoning city was crowded with local people and newly relocated refugees.

First, I was curious about the new general. Second, I felt that with the entry of Qian's army, Baoning city would be more peaceful and full of hope in the future.

Li Chengyi and Li Chengru are also at the gate of the city, ready to welcome the Qian family army.

By the way, there is xiaobaoshan, which has made great achievements in war.

However, they saw Qian Qi and his family's carriage from a distance, but they didn't see xiaobaoshan.

Outside Liu, they began to talk: "why don't you see Baoshan? Don't you say he is a big general? The big general should have been in the front."

"It's not in the carriage, is it? You see, there's a carriage."

"Are the family members in the carriage? Why is Baoshan in there?"

"Maybe he suffered?"

"Don't worry. Anyway, we're all in town now. If there's really no news, let's ask childe li... Oh, no, seventh Lord."

Everyone thought it was reasonable, so they looked at Qian's army being welcomed into the city.

……

Ye Xiaoxian was very nervous in the post house. She was on pins and needles, neither sitting nor standing.

She also looked at the window from time to time. The window was facing the street. She could just see the large army entering the city. At that time, her heart beat a few times.

The first is the sixth Lord, and Li Chengru, followed by several generals. It should be Qian Jiajun.

However, I didn't see xiaobaoshan.

She was a little lost.

Why didn't Xiao Baoshan come back with him? Was it not that something delayed the way? Or was he hurt and sitting in the carriage?

If he gets hurt, is it... Serious?

Ye Xiaoxian is not due to wishful thinking.

Later, the street gradually quieted down, and then I heard Li Hongmei and them coming back.

Ye Xiaoxian immediately sat down and pretended that she had just been doing sewing, ignoring what was happening outside.

As soon as Li Hongmei came in, she said, "it's strange that she didn't see Baoshan and didn't know if he came back."

Others say the same. They say they ran away in vain.

Ye Xiaoxian thought: I know. Anyway, I pretend I don't care.

So she asked lightly, "really? Maybe it was really delayed?"

Li Hongmei said again, "no, I'll go to ask childe Li later. Childe Li must know where Baoshan is."

……

However, Li Hongmei hasn't gone to find Li Chengru, but Li Chengru came by himself.

Li Chengru has been living in the palace these days. After changing his clothes, he is no longer disheartened. He looks more noble.

However, since he entered the door, he has been losing his face. He seems to have something to say, but he can't say it.

Also, he looked at Ye Xiaoxian sympathetically from time to time.

Ye Xiaoxian is still calm, but Li Hongmei can't wait.

Li Hongmei couldn't wait to ask: "Duke li... No, seventh Lord, have you seen our treasure mountain? That's... The one you've always wanted to kill. Now you know, he's not a traitor. The sixth Lord said he wasn't, and the imperial court pacified him. No one should bother him now? But why didn't he come back with him? Won't he be detained in the capital? Still Was he caught halfway? "

Li Chengru looked at them, but he couldn't bear to speak.

After a while, he was cruel and looked at Ye Xiaoxian: "something happened when Xiao Baoshan came back. I'm afraid he can't come back."

"Ah, what happened?" Li Hongmei's lips are shaking.

Ye Xiaoxian's hand was shaking too. She couldn't stop shaking. She couldn't calm down at all.

Li Chengru said, "Xiao Baoshan escorted the Qian family back and was ambushed in Da'an. In order to protect the Qian family, he was knocked down on the cliff and Gobi. The Qian family army couldn't find his body for two days and nights. Now his life and death are unknown."

Li Chengru said that the Xiao family were all stunned, and ye Xiaoxian even turned her lips white.

A feeling of grief that has never been experienced surges into all parts of the body, and there is a general pain in the heart. At the same time, it seems that something in the body is forcibly pulled away and sinking.

She was an orphan in her last life. She never experienced family affection or life and death. Before she crossed, the old director of their orphanage lived well.

But now in this life, for the first time, it was her husband.

Although there is a written divorce, but... To put it mildly, I have loved after all.

Ye Xiaoxian stayed for a long time. She couldn't cry. She didn't know what to do or say. She was just in a daze.

During this period, Li Chengru seemed to come and say something to her, but she couldn't hear it at all. Liu Qianqian also came and shook her. She didn't respond.

If the numbness in front has been pretended, now she is really numb.

She went back to bed blankly and lay down. Then she didn't know what happened next.

……

Ye Xiaoxian lay down without food or drink for two days. It's no use shouting.

Li Hongmei's tears dried up. As soon as she went out, she told people about her fate. She had died of two sons. The first was sick, the second was strong, and she was still a general, but she didn't enjoy her children's and grandchildren's happiness, so there were no two.

She has been holding Xiao Baofeng, worried that Baofeng will come next.

She also loves Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye looks strong at ordinary times, but who doesn't know it's loaded. Xiaobaoshan was missing in the past, missing is not death, and there is hope to see you again. Now people are dead, they really can't see it.

There are wild animals in the suburbs of Da'an county. Qian Jiajun's people can't find it. It's possible that the body was eaten by wild animals.

Thinking of this, ye Xiaoxian felt that a heart seemed to be dug by people.

Fortunately, Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Baofeng have reason. They know to bring them water and rice and coax Li Hongmei to eat more.

But they really have nothing to do with Ye Xiaoxian.

It was also at this time that they found that the sister-in-law loved her second brother more than expected. She was really a woman with deep love and righteousness.

Just when everyone was worried that ye Xiaoxian would starve herself alive, she was better again.

She got up, went to the post office to ask for food, took it back to her room and ate it.

She thought clearly: whether Xiao Baoshan is dead or alive, she lives by herself.

People can't be sad all the time. Besides, she is a divorced woman. There is no reason to be sad for her ex husband all the time, even if he is an indomitable man.

There are not many such men, but she has met and fallen in love. She should be grateful for the beautiful days with him. That's enough.

……

Two days later, the interior official who brought them to the post house came and said that he wanted to arrange tribes for ye Xiaoxian and them.

Although everyone lives comfortably here and has food and shelter, they all rely on the face of Xiao Baoshan and Li Chengru. Now it's time to work in the tribe. It's impossible to raise idle people in Baoning city.

Internal officials gave them several choices, because Baoning county has a wide area, just like modern western Xinjiang. Walking in western Xinjiang for a day, you can almost experience several seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Ye Xiaoxian vaguely remembers that she once saw a documentary about the local conditions and customs at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. If Baoning city is a modern western Xinjiang, she can go there.

She remembers that there are high mountains and green grass. The snow on Tianshan can melt into a river. They can herd sheep and cattle at the foot of the mountain, grow grapes and apples, raise honey, grow garlic, potatoes and rape flowers.

The place was as beautiful as fairyland, and she had been longing for it for a long time.

So she asked the internal official if there was such a place in Baoning city. The internal official knew as soon as he asked: "Oh, you mean Tianshan tribe. How did you know there?"

Ye Xiaoxian said, "it's what the city people said these two days."

The inner official said, "it's a good place, but it's a little far away, and the people there are fierce. I don't know whether to exclude foreigners or not?"

Ye Xiaoxian said with a smile, "I hope I can integrate into it."

"It's all right. If you can't melt in, you can send someone back for help. We'll arrange another place for you. You are the family members of General Xiao. We can't treat you badly. However, Baoning city can't compare with Jiangnan and the capital. It's really poor here. Don't mention you. Even the six princesses and the family members of the rich general have to go to the nearby tribes to help. The sixth Lord praised your family for being sensible with General Qian yesterday. "

Ye Xiaoxian said with a smile, "that's right. After all, it's the people who have a big general at home. We can't hold back."

After discussion, the interior officer told them to pack up and set out.

Liu Yuanwai and Liu Qianqian also follow Ye Xiaoxian. Along the way, they have seen Ye Xiaoxian's viability. She is also a relative of xiaobaoshan. They will not suffer if they follow her.

Tianshan tribe is really far away.

Although the interior official sent a carriage to Jia, they walked day and night before they arrived.

At first they passed the plain, then the depression.

It's not like Qinghe County here. Qinghe County is either mountain or water, but the plain here is endless. After arriving at the mountain depression, I found that there are high mountains here, especially the distant Tianshan Mountain. There is snow on the Tianshan mountain that hasn't melted for many years. It looks very handsome.

It's not cold yet, so the grassland is yellow and green. In the distance, cattle and sheep are eating grass. Occasionally, the herdsmen can hear their songs.

When you broaden your horizons, your mind will grow larger.

Even Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu lamented that this place is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Qinghe County. If they can save enough food here, they will stay here all the time.

Wang Mudan, Chen Ju and others also feel that people can't be in one place all the time. They feel beautiful when they go out more.

Only the old man Xiao scolded: "it's really getting farther and farther. How can the bones be transported back when they get old and die?"

No one paid any attention to him.

……

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a tribe. A man riding a tall horse came out to meet them from a distance.

This man speaks Chinese. The internal official introduced that this man is a local patriarch named Mahal. He often goes to the city to do business with people in Daqi Dynasty, so he knows how to speak Daqi words.

The internal officer handed them over to Mahal, told Mahal a few words, and then left.

Mahal is about 40 years old, with dark skin, a small hat on his head and colorful robes, just like those in Xijiang.

However, Mahal looks like a human being. When the internal officer was there, he was respectful to a group of people. Now as soon as the internal officer left, the smile on his face stopped.
