Uncertain Chang'an

After Xiao Wuding arranged for someone to investigate, he went back to the room, and Fei'er came to deliver the medicine after a while.

"General, Your Highness wants you to drink while it's hot."

Xiao Wuding looked at the pitch-black medicine bowl in front of him, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, he picked it up with one hand, and drank it down in one gulp.The sour and bitter taste spread in her mouth, but she acted as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Madam Fei'er, please thank Your Highness for me."

Fei'er took the medicine bowl, saluted and withdrew without any abnormal behavior.

As expected of the people around her, even Mo'er was shocked at the time, and did not act abnormally afterwards.Xiao Wuding reached out and poured himself a cup of tea to dilute the taste in his mouth. Although the medicine was bitter, it was far worse than the medicines she drank in Kunlun.

When she was rescued back to Kunlun, her body was covered in bruises, and her face was no exception.She really walked away from the gate of hell, and her face was seriously injured. She had wrapped it in gauze for several months, and when she unwrapped it, there was already another person in the bronze mirror.She didn't let the scars on her body be removed, in order to remind herself not to forget that nightmare.

She always feels guilty towards Zhou Jinhe, and what she says is more or less true, comforting herself that she can lie less and lie less, but she doesn't know that when such true and false words are mixed together, fabricated lies are the most deceptive.

Sitting in front of the desk, he wrote a letter to his senior sister about the past few days. Zhou Jinhe's room could be seen through the window. Xiao Wuding lowered his eyes, with a dark expression, and wrote: Negative Qing, why are you so involuntary now, so deceiving her, death will not help."

Zhou Jinhe's body is still not well, and he has been lying on the bed without strength.Just after lunch, Fei'er reported that General Xiao was coming.She waved her hand, still leaning against the bed, and said softly: "Let her in." Since she is a woman, she doesn't have to pay too much attention... Besides, she saw her when she was in such a mess, so why bother? Sticking to this moment makes yourself uncomfortable.

"See Your Highness." Xiao Wuding was dressed in white, still looking like a handsome young man.

"The general doesn't need to be polite, but there is news?"

"Yes." As she spoke, she consciously stepped forward to Zhou Jinhe's bed, and handed the letter in her hand to Zhou Jinhe, "Is Your Highness feeling better?" Why did she look energetic yesterday and question herself, why is she still like this now? As sleepy as he was, Xiao Wuding frowned slightly, and there was just the right amount of worry between his brows and eyes.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that once I relax, I can't lift up my strength. Fortunately, with you here, I can lie down with peace of mind." Zhou Jinhe reached out to take the envelope, answered her with a smile, and asked: "Wen Miss Yuan gave it?"

The corner of Xiao Wuding's mouth was slightly raised, and he joked: "Senior sister has ordered the Linyi branch, and if there is any news, please pass it on. Your Highness is so beautiful, even my senior sister can't help but fall in love with him."

"I don't know when General Zhenbei is still so talkative?" Zhou Jinhe couldn't laugh or cry, and joked: "Why don't I go back to Beijing to express my admiration to Miss Wen Yuan, and see if she is willing to be half the master of the Princess Mansion?"

Well, the sweetheart and the senior sister see each other right?Xiao Wuding shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "There is no man in this world who can match the looks of these two heavenly beings."

"The general deserves the prize, and the general is even more so. Where can I find a man who is more heroic than the general in this world?"

Xiao Wuding pretended to be serious and thought: "Well, it makes sense, how about marrying a beautiful girl in the future?"

Zhou Jinhe burst out laughing, he was so busy, he stopped laughing for a while, opened the letter in his hand, and sighed: "I can't be as poor as you, I almost forgot the business."

Xiao Wuding shrugged and readily accepted the pot.Seeing Zhou Jinhe's expression gradually serious, he said again: "I don't pay attention to those idiots, please rest assured, Your Highness."

Zhou Jinhe frowned, although Xiao Wuding said so, the situation in front of him was not optimistic. "I thought the bandits could only have a few hundred people at most, but these days there are thousands of them? The soldiers who bought food have not come back, and now there are only a thousand people available. Although the general is invincible, Mengshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Think about it." Winning is not an easy task either. It is not worth losing one of the elite soldiers under the general's command in this mountainous place."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the marching and fighting is still tiring, and it is really my fault that His Highness is hurting your spirits. Your Highness can rest assured, within ten days, I will take the leader of the bandit and tie Wu Yi here to make an apology to Your Highness! "Xiao Wuding raised one corner of his mouth, full of confidence.Seeing her like this, Zhou Jinhe looked very much like when Chang An once said that he would help her take the world, he was full of confidence and a little arrogant, as if the world was nothing but the fruit from the tree she often climbed, and it was easy to get.The same is true for Xiao Wuding, those thousands of bandits seemed insignificant to her, but suddenly she was a little dazed that they were so similar...

Wu Yi lived in fear these days on the mountain, Yang Yong saw him so uneasy, he just felt that his elder brother was an official and a fool, he was so timid.

Yang Yong drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp, patted Wu Yi on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Brother, don't worry, the soldiers of Linyi Mansion couldn't fight back when my younger brother was only a few hundred people, now there are thousands of brothers, I'm afraid Is he a mere Xiao Wuding? He came down from the battlefield, but I, Yang Yong, am not a vegetarian either! Who has never killed anyone?! Brother, you can live here with peace of mind!"

The head of the family has spoken, and the people below responded naturally, shouting: "That's right! The head of the family is so brave and mighty, I'm afraid that Xiao Wuding will fail!"

"It doesn't matter what General Zhenbei or General Zhennan is, it won't work when it comes to our Mengshan Mountain!"

"Hey, I've seen that Xiao Wuding, who is white and clean and looks like a woman, far worse than our head!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter, causing Wu Yi to shake his head again and again, and sighed and went back to the room.After all, Mengshan won't stay for long, but he doesn't dare to go down the mountain easily... The news probably spread to the capital long ago. In order to protect themselves, the group of high-ranking officials may have sent many people to secretly watch him.. ... In Mengshan, he can live a few more days.

Yang Yong didn't care about Wu Yi so much, he didn't bother to comfort him, he still drank and ate meat with a group of brothers, chatting and laughing very comfortably.

"Report—the boss! Then Xiao Wuding led his troops to the village five li away from the mountain, and now he has sent people to fight at the foot of the mountain!" Everyone was drinking vigorously, and a small soldier came in to report.

Yang Yong laughed. He really said that Cao Cao was here. He put down the wine bowl, got up and picked up the two axes and said, "You're coming soon! Brothers, let me go and have a look!"

"Yes!" A group of people answered, took their weapons and followed them outside.When I arrived at the lookout point and looked down, I saw that the village was indeed not far from the foot of the mountain, but it seemed that there were not many people, only about a thousand, and they were all wearing the armor of the Dingbei Army, and there were no soldiers from the Yizhou Prefecture.

"Heh, this kid is brave enough. Thousands of people want to capture Mount Meng? Brothers! I will go down the mountain with Big Brother to meet Xiao Wuding!"

"Yes, big brother!" A group of people responded, and there was a sense of unanimous response. After speaking, Yang Yong led the people to the gate of the village, not wanting to be stopped by Wu Yi in a hurry on the way.

"Little brother! What are you doing!"

"What are you doing? Of course I'm going to meet Xiao Wuding! Big brother, you can stay at ease, little brother will come whenever you want!"

"Hey, I can't go, I can't go!" Wu Yi was sweating anxiously, stopped him, and said: "He broke the court of the Huns with [-] soldiers! Are you brothers better than the Huns! There is still more to guard Mengshan." There is a glimmer of hope, if you go down, you will die! You listen to the elder brother, don't go down the mountain!"

"Why can't my brothers compare to the Huns!" Yang Yong was not happy when he said that. His brothers have followed him through life and death for so many years, and they are all top-notch men. Why can't they compare to the Huns? !

Wu Yi also realized that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly corrected his words: "No, no, brother, of course, you don't mean that the brothers are inferior to the Huns, but it's better to wait until the soldiers at the foot of the mountain are tired, and then go down to deal with them. Waiting for work with ease will get twice the result with half the effort."

"That's reasonable, then I'll listen to my elder brother!" After he calmed down, Yang Yong shouted to the brothers behind him: "Brothers! Let's continue drinking and let them dance! We'll clean them up when we're full!"

"yes, Sir!"

A group of people returned to the lobby, Wu Yi heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked down at the village commander and sighed.

Zhou Jinhe followed Xiao Wuding to the camp, but he didn't want General Xiao to be so calm and in the mood to play chess with her.

"General, the people have arrived!"

"Well, take it there, and make sure to protect them." Xiao Wuding's expression remained unchanged, looking at the chess game in front of him, he thought for a moment and then dropped a sunspot.

The soldiers retreated in response, Xiao Wuding raised his mouth slightly, raised his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's not good to be so distracted."

Zhou Jinhe looked down at the chess game, the black pieces had already firmly suppressed the white pieces, and she lost.

"You are merciless at all, you really killed every piece of armor." Shaking his head helplessly, he put down the chess pieces held by his fingertips, and said, "What's the point of letting the common people come?"

"Your Highness, have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War?"

"I have read it, but I don't think it's too late for the general to be so proficient...'Ten surrounds it, five attacks it, and doubles it divides'. The general wants to disintegrate from the inside?" Zhou Jinhe said, suddenly Thinking of a paragraph, it suddenly became clear.

Xiao Wuding kept the chess pieces, looked up at Zhou Jinhe, his eyes were full of admiration, and said: "Yes, Your Highness is really smart, and you can see through it. A few days ago, there was a famine, and many people had to go to Mount Meng. Now that the disaster is over, let us Their family shouted at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time promised to let the past go, presumably many people will repent and come down the mountain."

"The general is very strategic, let's play another game, this time I'm going to be serious." Zhou Jinhe frowned, and also stretched out his hand to collect the chess pieces. With Xiao Wuding like this, she really doesn't have to worry.

"It's exactly what I want. Why don't you add a lottery, and if you lose, how about going back to Beijing for a meal?"

"Why not?" Zhou Jinhe smiled, tilted his head and said, "Fei'er, bring some refreshments." She was worried a while ago, and she didn't have much use for lunch. Now she's relieved, she's really hungry .

At the foot of Mengshan Mountain, guarded by a team of soldiers, hundreds of people were shouting the names of their relatives to the mountain, which made half of the people on Mengshan Mountain confused.
