Food and Garden [Rebirth]

"I have a token from the king, how dare you stop me?"

"Except for the general's token, we don't listen to anyone. This is King Ning's camp, and no one else is allowed to enter."

"You are so courageous! I am the side concubine of Ning Wang, who was appointed by the king!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Qi Muyan lifted the curtain of the tent, and saw a woman wearing a black cloak.

This is a barracks full of men, and this color is particularly prominent.

"Su Yue, why are you here?" He looked shocked.He didn't expect that the side concubine who came with the imperial envoy was actually Su Yue.

"Your Majesty specially appointed me to take care of King Ning's daily life. After all, in a military camp full of men, there are no women who are as careful and considerate." After a pause, Su Yue looked at the person in front of her, "I have been unable to find you, Since you are not in the capital, I guessed that you came to King Ning, and I asked you to introduce me to King Ning, but you refused, and now I am still King Ning's side concubine."

As long as you find a way to give birth to a boy and a half girl, you will surely have a stable position. Although the other party is the wife, but has no heirs, life may not be easy in the future.

Qi Muyan just thought for a moment, then took out a jade pendant, put it in the opponent's hand, "Here it is for you."

Su Yue looked at the jade ornament in her hand, this man knows now that he wants to please her?Her face was full of disdain, "This one is really ordinary, my family is much more expensive than this one, I don't need it."

She was just about to return the jade pendant, but the other party said, "This belongs to King Ning", making her withdraw her hand and look at the things in her palm again.

"You can't stay here." The soldier standing at the door forcibly separated the two people and drove the other person three feet away.

With an angry expression on Su Yue's face, she glanced at the jade ornament in her hand, why could that person stay inside all the time, but she couldn't even get close...

Her eyes darkened, she turned and left angrily.

-

There is one more week until New Year's Eve.

Checking the accounts at the end of the year, the former small store has opened two branches in the past six months, and the business has been good. If you don't make reservations in advance, there is no place at all.

Wang Cui has been optimistic about the appearance, and will open a new one after turning over the year.In this store, there is Qi Muyan's shares, so in just one year, Qi Muyan has a considerable amount of private money.

He has nothing to do every day, whether in the company or at home, he is busy researching dishes, and the rest of his time is spent playing the piano.

Only in this way can he let himself stop thinking about it.

Du Xichuan went on a business trip and hadn't come back for eight days. The other party said that he would come back to celebrate the New Year, but he didn't know whether that person would come back.

The two hadn't been in touch for seven days, and they had lost contact since the day after the other party left.

Qi Muyan always had the feeling that that person might not come back again.

He thought of the scene when the two met for the first time. He fell asleep on the balcony, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the man downstairs looking at him with burning eyes.

Chen Weimeng asked him to go out to play, he just thought for a moment, then agreed to go together.

At the end of the year, there are various celebrations in the bar. Qi Muyan is allergic to alcohol, so he can't drink, the shaking is shameless, and the colorful lights, he quietly watched from the side.

"Why do you have such an expression? You are very attractive. If a piece of paper is blank, most people will have the urge to dye it!"

Chen Weimeng hugged Qi Muyan, "Come on, tell my sister, did you quarrel with that old man? Did he bully you?"

Qi Muyan's eyes widened, and he looked at the other party in disbelief.

"I've known it for a long time, but it's really nothing, just look at those." Chen Weimeng casually clicked on a few people, "They all like men, don't worry about it, they like the same sex, don't they grow three?" Eye!"

Qi Muyan: "..."

"Actually, I heard that I like you, so green and tender, but if you don't like me, I won't force it. If you don't get along well with that old man, I'll introduce you to some who are the same age as you, so that you can compare There is no generation gap."

Qi Muyan shook his head like a rattle, "It's better not to."

He really had no choice but to be with a man other than Du Xichuan. He couldn't even think about it. If Du Xichuan hadn't forced him to live together, with no way out, he had no choice but to try to understand each other. Get in touch with the other person, otherwise, he probably won't take the initiative to like that, even if he is still of the same sex.

Du Xichuan was an exception.

At that moment, a man came to Qi Muyan's side, "This is my business card, can you give me my phone number?"

It was the first time Qi Muyan encountered such a strike-up, and he was stunned there.

Chen Weimeng grabbed the business card in that person's hand, threw it away without even looking at it, "What do you mean, didn't you see me? Are you looking for a beating?"

The man looked surprised, and then walked away in disgrace...

"Tsk, you're quite dedicated. Then don't look terrified. Others will think I'm abducting you if they don't know." After a pause, Chen Wei suddenly pulled Qi Muyan up, "Come out and play, don't be unhappy, let's go dance .”

"No, I want to go back." Qi Muyan smiled apologetically, "I'd better go first."

He didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. The music in his ears was too loud, and the shaking crowd would only make him feel worse.

Chen Wei shrugged his shoulders fiercely, "Alright then, I'll take you back."

Teenagers really don't fit in here.

Qi Muyan returned home, but there was still no one there, even Xiao Chuan hibernated and stopped moving.

There is less anger here.

He lay alone in bed and it took him a long time to fall asleep.

---

The imperial envoy handed over the memorial overnight and went back. King Ning forgot to neglect his duty. He knew that the other party had committed a crime at night, so he did not go to the rescue unless he raised the alarm.

Such a decision is suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

That city, after receiving the military order of martial law, did not receive reinforcements. After the soldiers on the city wall resisted for three hours, the city was broken.

The iron hooves came one after another, and there was a lot of crying and shouting at that moment.

The ending was no different.

When the news spread in the army, everyone talked about it, and they were unwilling to believe that King Ning was treasonous.

Serving as a soldier is to defend our home and country, and prevent our compatriots from being trampled by iron hooves.The lives of those 1 people were on everyone's minds, but even so, no one questioned the command of the general.

After Suyue confessed to Qi Muyan, it was the jade pendant that the other party gave her with a hint on it, and she told the minister who came with her.

Angrily, Xi Chuan dragged him out, then threw him on the ground with a cold face.

"General, what should he do with it?" Someone asked.

"Forty whips."

Everyone's eyes widened. Forty military whips, even the strongest soldiers can bear it. At least two people have to lie on the bed. This weak young man, if he can't stand it halfway, he will... …

Xi Chuan took the whip from the executor, "I'll beat it, you guys get out."

The jet-black whip was infiltrated with oil, and each whip seemed to be able to pierce the bones, causing the limbs to curl up in pain.

There was no way to hide, so he didn't hide. Every time he received a whip, he wanted to pass out at any time, he gritted his teeth and fought hard.

---

"You'd better call out and let people outside know that you did something wrong."

These were the last words in my ears before waking up.

Qi Muyan sat up from the bed, thinking of the dream just now, the pain was so real, he had just endured this whip, and the next whip came down again, it seemed endless.

He picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number, but it was still not in the service area.

He lay on the bed and forced himself to sleep again, wondering what had happened.

---

"You finally woke up?" He opened his eyes again, it was already the third day of being punished.

Standing by the bed was a lieutenant who was often by Xi Chuan's side.

"The general just gave you ten lashes, and you passed out. Later, the general received the [-] lashes as a punishment for you. He said he would punish you by himself, so he had to double it. He was given a total of sixty lashes. If the person holding the whip is not ruthless, he will be dealt with as a crime of favoritism, sixty lashes, just like this, and this suppresses the criticism of the military."

Qi Muyan rolled his eyes and didn't speak.

"Do you feel that you have done too much, if it were someone else who reported the news, you would have been beheaded long ago."

"I know, that city... You are blaming us for not taking action, but it cannot be saved. That city is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Three years ago, when we all went there, King Ning asked the city residents to move out, saying that there was a huge threat. Risk. Everyone who relocates will get money. Many people move out and come back for this subsidy. If you don’t take your own life seriously for the sake of money, you can’t blame others.”

Qi Muyan closed his eyes, still not speaking.

"You sent out the news to put the city under martial law. Seeing the tenacious resistance, the enemy knew that we had spies who had infiltrated the army. Since then, they have taken precautions. Our deployment for many years has come to naught. Half a month ago , since you came, our food and grass have been cut off, and we can't last for ten days now. King Ning sent 3000 elite soldiers to cross the snow mountain between the two countries and sneak attack from the enemy's rear, but after this In the first battle, the enemy took precautions and withdrew for more than 5000 miles overnight. Of the 5000 elite soldiers sent by King Ning, only [-] survived over the snow-capped mountains. More than [-] elite troops died on the battlefield during the loss. Instead, he died on a snow-capped mountain, unable to even collect the corpse, in order to go around the enemy's rear and attack them unprepared. If it wasn't for a critical moment, King Ning would not have made such a decision. Those soldiers had followed him for more than ten years But now, the enemy army is now retreating for [-] miles, and the death of more than [-] people on the snow-capped mountains has become meaningless. If he doesn’t punish you, how can you convince the crowd? I don't know how long the long-term war will last, and where can I find food and grass to support it until then?"

"If the supply of food and grass is not enough, it will inevitably reduce the morale of the army and may cause a mutiny. It is already winter and there is no food and grass. How will an army of 10 people survive this winter?"

Qi Muyan was stunned, "Then, where is he?"

"King Ning is in the tent next to you. You persuade him. He has been sleepless for several days. Fortunately, it is winter, and the whip wounds on his body will not fester. If you can’t bear it, the wound won’t heal, you’re afraid you’ll get sick for a long time, he’s the commander in chief, safety is the most important thing, so don’t get angry with him.”

"I don't know, how can I tell him, what will I do if there is no food...?"

"What else can we do? The class teacher will return to the court, but if we leave, the dozen or so cities on the border may suffer."

"I don't know... I didn't do it on purpose, I just don't want them to die like this..." Qi Muyan was in a mess. This time, he did something completely wrong.

"Although you sent the news, you can't blame you this time. The minister who came this time is from the King of the Night. He and King Ning have been at loggerheads. As early as when you handed the jade pendant to Princess Ning, he had already He sent out the news, saying that the enemy army was attacking the city, otherwise it would have been too late. He was just trying to get a copy from King Shen Ning in the memorial. He punished you, firstly because you really violated the military regulations, and secondly because You don't trust him, but you trust a woman who just arrived."

Although the other party said so, Qi Muyan didn't feel any good at all.

He never saw the other person again, and he realized later that if that person didn't want to see him, he wouldn't have met him even in a camp, and he still went to bandage his injuries every day.

Five days later, food and grass were in short supply. At this time, there was news from the capital that the king had passed away. Before he died, there was a will that the Night King would inherit the throne.

When King Ye succeeded to the throne, the first edict he issued was to force the prince who was outside the capital to come back alone to meet the new king.

Everyone knows that this decree is to go down to Ning Wang Xi Chuan and return without bringing an army. He is afraid that he will go there with his life and come back with his life.

If you don't go, you will openly resist the decree, and if you don't obey the new king, it will inevitably be true.

In order to get rid of the troubles in his heart, the new king ignored the war, even if he cut off a dozen cities, he would not hesitate to pay no matter how high the price was.

Xi Chuan ignored the will of the new king, and most of the generals in the army were his confidantes, and they only listened to his orders.

Occasionally, those who had other opinions were sent back.

In addition to marching and fighting, King Ning also negotiated with several nearby city lords or princes about borrowing food and grass.

King Ning refused to return to the capital. The new king has already announced to the whole country that King Ning has the heart of disobedience, and since the army on the battlefield only obeys King Ning's dispatch, they have all become unrighteous men.

The hero who served the country and family became a traitor in an instant, but this battle must continue.

Most people are wise to protect themselves, and dare not offend the new king, nor the powerful Ning king, so every time they come, they treat each other with courtesy, but if they mention the matter of borrowing food and grass, they will Find a way to shirk.

But a few days later, when King Ning received a message from a city lord, saying that he was willing to lend grain and did not want to enter the city to negotiate, he was ambushed.

So far, his death is unknown.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, this news was blocked, and two teams of people went to find out the news, but they never returned.

-

Qi Muyan opened his eyes, he had a severe headache, looked at the phone on the table that kept ringing, and he realized that it was already dawn.

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon.

It was Chen Xuanxuan who called. The phone stopped ringing for less than two seconds, and then rang again quickly.

Qi Muyan just pressed the answer button, and the voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiaoyan, listen to me, don't worry, something happened to Du Xichuan, and now he is in the hospital, and his condition has been stabilized." After a pause, Chen Xuanxuan said again, "But he hasn't woken up, it's been two days gone."

"where is he?"

Chen Xuanxuan reported a place name. It was a country famous for its mineral resources. In addition to its rich resources, another feature was its extremely chaotic law and order.

"I'm going to see him." Qi Muyan didn't ask the reason, his first thought was that he wanted to go to that person's side.

Chen Xuanxuan was not surprised at all, "I'll help you arrange it, but this time, you have to be mentally prepared. He suffered a severe blow to the head. The doctor said that he didn't wake up within a week, and the chance of him waking up in the future is very small."

"What exactly happened, why did it become like this..." Qi Muyan murmured in a daze, and he felt that all the voices in his ears became mysterious.

When people left last time, they were obviously fine.

"You were shot in the dark. You haven't read the news. The chairman of the Du family has entered the hospital and has issued a notice that he is critically ill. Some people probably can't wait to make a move. There are many people who want Du Xichuan to die outside, but really. Few dare to do anything, so it's easy to check. Of course, it can't be ruled out that it's Du Xichuan's personal grievances, he has made too many enemies and is too ruthless."

"He...how is he now?"

"I was shot in the chest, avoiding the internal organs, and shot in the leg. Of course, I probably won't be limping. The main reason for the coma is that the head was hit, and there was a blood clot in the skull, but the position was not good. Then perform surgery, I will finish your formalities within two days, and I will go with you."

"it is good."

After Qi Muyan hung up the phone, he felt restless. Is this an omen, or a pure coincidence.

What happened to the person in the dream, and whether he escaped safely.

As for Du Xichuan, what about him now.

No matter who it is, he doesn't want the other person to have trouble, he wants to be able to touch the person's body with his hand.

-

Two days later, Qi Muyan followed Chen Xuanxuan out of the country.

The place where the accident happened is a region with a very corrupt government, and the investment environment can be called harsh. People who come to invest must bring bodyguards, otherwise they are likely to be robbed.

The frequency of robberies in this place is very high. People with a little money and status will wear firearms, and even the police don't care much.

Stray bullets are commonplace here.

Du Xichuan's condition was unstable, his head was injured and he couldn't move casually, so he was not transferred back to the domestic hospital.

Qi Muyan has met the two assistants that Du Xichuan brought this time. During the year of the college entrance examination, he had been an intern in Du Xichuan's office for a summer vacation.

The two assistants were also taken aback when they saw Qi Muyan. They naturally knew the relationship between the other party and the boss, so they let him go without asking any questions.

During Du Xichuan's rescue, two waves of people came to the Du family, but they didn't even meet each other, even the relatives of the patient.

Du Xichuan's two assistants were very reliable. After he apparently fell into a coma, they took full responsibility to prevent anyone with evil intentions from taking advantage of it.

Qi Muyan looked at the person lying on the hospital bed, but his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

He wanted to wake up the other party from his deep sleep like every time before.

Chen Xuanxuan was also very depressed. She had always been an indestructible person, but suddenly she was lying here vulnerable and living on infusions every day, which made him very uncomfortable.

He suddenly understood that this person was also flesh and blood.

Du Xichuan is two years younger than him. He is only 29 years old this year, not yet thirty. He always ignores the other party's age habitually.

I asked the doctor about the situation face to face, and it was almost the same as what I said on the phone. Now it depends on whether the person can wake up, and the brain is injured. The situation can be large or small, and it is unpredictable.

After sitting for a while, Chen Xuanxuan asked the two assistants to go out with her, giving them a chance to get along alone.

Qi Muyan and Du Xichuan are unmarried lovers, and the situation is different from the beginning. It's not Du Xichuan's unilateral, but the two people have the same heart.

Qi Muyan looked at the person on the hospital bed, he sat on the hospital bed, and gently hugged the person in his arms.

When the nurse made the ward rounds at night, she found that no one was in the ward. The patient's shoes were still under the bed, but the person just disappeared out of thin air.

She searched the room several times, and then went to the attending doctor anxiously.

-

Qi Muyan made people lie in the hot spring. The water here has healing effects. He didn't know if it would be effective for Du Xichuan. He just wanted to make people wake up quickly, so he wanted to try it.

He hardly had time to think about how to explain to others in the future, the two disappeared out of thin air under the eyes of so many people, bringing Du Xichuan into the space.

He didn't want Du Xichuan to have something to do. Compared with the other party's safety, nothing was important.

The two of them stayed in the space for two days, and there was a wooden house with basically everything.

Qi Muyan would help people to soak in the hot spring during the day, and then help people to bed to rest at night.

The scars on Du Xichuan's legs and chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye every hour, but he did not wake up, as if he was really asleep...

Every day, Qi Muyan would find fresh fruit, and then squeeze the juice into the other person's mouth. There is a lot of aura in the space, so relying on the juice every day can support a person's survival in a short period of time.

He suddenly felt that if the other party was not awake, it didn't matter where he was, even if he was always in the space, he just looked at the other party, stayed with the other party, and waited for the other party to wake up.

Just the two of them.

But after thinking about it, if something happened to Du Xichuan, he would not be willing to let the person in charge of this matter just let it go.

Qi Muyan thinks of many things every day. He has lived for three lifetimes, and he has never been so awake for a moment as he is now.

The fragments of those memories flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously wondered if he had met this person from the very beginning, would there be nothing left behind.

If he could become stronger, would he be able to protect this person's safety? His mother has passed away, and a person cannot be resurrected after death. He doesn't want himself to face that situation again.

He was sure that there must be some kind of connection in it, but now, he couldn't solve this mystery for the time being.

Every day is infinitely stretched, becoming extremely long and difficult.

He couldn't imagine what he would do if this person didn't wake up, would he wait with faith, or would he have an emotional breakdown one day.

Qi Muyan once again helped the man to the edge of the hot spring, he took off Du Xichuan's clothes, and let the other party's limbs be soaked in the water.

Then hug the person from behind to prevent the person from sliding into the pool.

This person is still in a deep coma, even if he is drowning, he will not be aware of it.

The other party was a grown man, so it was very difficult to hold him back like this. Every time he would sweat profusely, his arms were sore and numb.

But he doesn't want to let go.

Feeling the person in his arms move, Qi Muyan thought it was his hallucination, until the person's hand in the water held his hand.

The two people interlocked their fingers.

On the seventh day, Du Xichuan finally became conscious, and opened his eyes a few minutes later.
