Minister

16【Six Years of Jiankang】

'Little Sheep' obediently read a book all night on the stool, and left in the morning exhausted.The girl in purple squinted her eyes secretly and looked at the door - I heard that Tan Hualang came to fight because he was underappreciated, if he could use his hands to assassinate Wang Yunyi, how wonderful it would be?Hmph, just pretend to be noble, you are not my girl's opponent yet.

Wei Chi followed behind Xu Yue with red eyes, yawning once in a while.Seeing that he was about to fall off the horse, Xu Yue couldn't help but turn around and beat him.

"It might be Chunshun..." Wei Chi rubbed his eyes.

Xu Yue shook his head, it's already May... still spring sleepy.

In the evening, Wei Chi tethered his horse and walked towards the Chinese army in a daze. He was staggering but bumped into someone...

"You..." Wei Chi grabbed the man's arm to keep him from falling.

Seeing that she was actually hit by that 'little sheep', the girl in purple was about to take this opportunity to hold the underappreciated Tanhua Lang to have a heart-to-heart talk, but she saw this man blinking his eyes and squeezed out two sleepy tears hanging on his eyelashes...

"It's you..." Wei Chi's eyes were no longer in control, the bed... the bed, he stood up and let go, and went straight to his tent.

It's not the smell of sweat, but a faint scent of green grass... The girl in purple froze for a moment, why was she thinking about this?Looking back, the man had already staggered into the tent without turning his head.

After Wei Chi gave Chen Hu an order not to eat dinner, he hurriedly took a shower and rolled into bed.Sleeping in the middle of the night, I was awakened by hunger. I guess it would be dawn soon, and I was going to sleep with my head covered again, but I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it for a moment, and my throat seemed to have a hand stretched out.After wriggling for a while, it was really uncomfortable, so I just got up and put on my clothes, washed my face casually, and left the tent to rush to the camp.

When I walked out, I realized that the moon was not yet westward, and it was still early before dawn, and the cold night wind was blowing straight into my neck.Wei Chi quickly turned up his collar and ran to the nearest kitchen.The guy on duty in the kitchen fell into a drowsy sleep. He looked like a senior official, so he had to get up muttering, took the key, and took the cake for Wei Chi.After leaving the kitchen, Wei Chi went around to the back of the house again, reached into the sack and touched it, and found a round one. He thought it was a persimmon, but when he looked in a place with light, he found it was an eggplant—why are eggplants in the north round? of! ?Why do you care so much?Hurry up and pass the cake to the hungry hand at the throat!

After the injury recovered a bit, the girl in purple was driven back to the carriage outside the tent by Ning Yuan.As soon as Wei Chi got out of the tent, she woke up sleeping in the carriage, and secretly opened the curtain to look, only to see that Wei Shenling was leaving in a hurry... I don't know where he was going to do some important business.Could something be wrong?In less than a quarter of an hour, the man came back again, so dark that he couldn't see clearly, his posture was a bit strange, a bit...strange...well, as if he had been poisoned by something.

"Uh!" Wei Chi was desperately smooth, huh?Why did that vixen come here?Still concerned, as if I was going to die, Wei Chi pointed to himself: "choked... choked on... water! water!"

The girl in purple took a look through the lantern in her hand... This man's mouth full of cake crumbs...

"There is water in the carriage, and I have chains on my hands, so I can't walk." The girl in purple shook the iron chain on her wrist, and the iron chain made a crisp jingling sound.

Wei Chi quickly waved his hand, signaling her to keep her voice down. Ning Shen led this person to not sleep well, if he wakes him up... this is the middle of the night, the lonely man and widow, who are lucky not to choke to death on the cake today, will inevitably be choked to death by him in the future." Sting" to die.Wei Chi tried his best to get into the carriage to find water, but he couldn't see it clearly. After touching for a while, he finally found the kettle, and he didn't care to get out again, so he started drinking on the spot.

The girl in purple sneered, these stinky men... hum.

Wei Chi finally got over the difficulty, and breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize his predicament, he quickly straightened his hair, wiped his mouth secretly, and then came out tremblingly.

"Your health is alright?" the girl in purple smiled gently.

"I was rude just now." Wei Chi felt a little blushing.

The girl in purple smiled slightly, and pointed to the corner of Wei Chi's mouth.Wei Chi wiped it for a long time but couldn't find it. The girl in purple stretched out her hand. Wei Chi was about to hide, but he felt a little heat at the corner of his mouth, and his jade-like fingers flashed past his eyes.The dim yellow lantern flickered feebly, but the dim yellow light just reflected that sweet smiling face. In fact, she was really smiling. Sweet, like the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the south of the Yangtze River, white and soft, it melts in the mouth, and the sweetness is soaked from the tip of the tongue to the heart.Wei Chi smacked his lips, bowed apologetically, and was about to step aside.

"My lord apologized and haven't thanked you yet..." The purple-clothed girl dodged sideways and stood in front of Wei Chi.

"Thank you!" Fox girl, I have to go back to sleep next time, I will not accompany you, Wei Chi also flashed.

"Oh, Mr. Wei, which pot of water did you drink? This is from the ditch to wash your hands!"

Wei Chi was stunned for a moment, the dirt ditch full of snakes and insects appeared in his mind, he felt his belly churning, and was about to vomit, but he heard the person behind him bent over with a mischievous smile.

"You cried like that yesterday, but you laughed today? Why, aren't you afraid of death?" Wei Chi was annoyed.

"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today, anyway, if you're going to die, it's okay to laugh." The girl in purple wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Actually, it might not kill you." Wei Chi sighed, this woman was left behind by him because of his talk, and everyone didn't know who she was, and no one wanted to do anything to her: "Although you look suspicious, but after all, you are a Girl, I really don't believe that Mo Nan uses women as spies."

"What do I look suspicious about?" The girl played with the chain in her hand.

"Your Chinese is fluent." Wei Chi turned his head and glanced at the woman: "It's nothing more than being fluent, but the words are correct, and you must have hired a good teacher. This is not something a business woman would do. The business girl can only mix a dialect at most. Your words are authentic Beijing accent, which is more accurate than some officials. Are you some kind of noble from Monan? Nobles can be spies? A joke. If it weren’t for you The rear army released rumors that some troops were going to Ulanqab, I am afraid that General Wang would have let you go long ago."

"Let me go? That General Wang?" The girl sneered: "In the eyes of you Daqi people, he is a good general, but in the eyes of our Monan people, he is simply a murderer! How do people in Xilin Gol die? of? Don't you see?"

Wei Chi suddenly felt a chill, and the fog became thicker, so thick that he couldn't see the woman's face clearly: "Are you from Xilin Gol?"

"Ah..." The woman laughed dryly, "Why would I tell you this..."

"What? Do you think I'm a murderer?" Wei Chi was very upset when he heard that.

"Did you not kill someone in Xilin Gol? Did you really not kill someone?" The woman asked coldly.

Wei Chi was taken aback, feeling a little guilty, the war-weary words he said to Lu Shengduo that day came back to his mind, but unfortunately, this time he wanted to find some reasons to excuse himself.He wanted to speak, but felt that what he wanted to say was actually what Lu Shengduo said to himself.

"Actually... I believe you." The girl suddenly softened her tone, and slowly approached with a lantern: "I believe you have never killed anyone."

"..." Wei Chi was a little overwhelmed by this weird conversation. Before he knew it, the sweet breath mixed with the thick fog covered his whole body. Whether he was accused or comforted, there seemed to be something in his heart. This joint has been being pulled by this woman...

"You..." The girl in purple felt that this man seemed a little stunned. An ordinary man would have shown his flaws long ago, but this one, apart from being able to see that he doesn't like killing people, can't see any clues in his personality... so This still needs to be tested again.

The girl in purple was about to open her mouth again when she saw the man in front of her suddenly snatch the lantern from her hand and it went out.

"Don't talk!" Wei Chi put down the lantern, then pulled the girl in purple and hid in the shadow behind the carriage: "Don't move!" Wei Chi's hands tightened tightly, the gap is very narrow, and the person in his hands seemed to be struggling , He simply became cruel, stuffed people in, and squeezed in himself.

"Huh?" The girl in purple was startled!Just when he was about to struggle, he was pushed by this man, and almost fell down. He was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't feel that he was acting frivolously, and it was not easy to get angry.

Wei Chi held the purple-clothed girl's shoulders tightly, and was extremely nervous. Hearing the footsteps, there were at least three soldiers who came over.Just when she was afraid, she found that the iron chain in the girl's hand was still on the carriage post, because it was pressed tightly by herself, the chain was almost stretched.Wei Chi moved in embarrassment to make the girl's hand feel better.The girl in purple didn't have that many thoughts of dying or living, but her wrist was being strangled, and she was gnashing her teeth, but seeing this thick-handed and thick-footed guy, she moved by herself to make room for her to feel better.The two of them huddled in the small gap in such a state of embarrassment, waiting for the slow-moving soldiers to pass by.This man smells pretty good. The tip of the purple girl's nose is facing Wei Chi's collar. There is no disgusting smell of sweat, but there is a faint fragrance. It is not appropriate to say that it is a fragrance, but it is nothing to sniff it carefully. The taste is like clear water, which makes people feel comfortable and lovely.

Three or four soldiers walked over slowly, the sheepskin lanterns in their hands were shaking, Wei Chi was terrified by the dazzling light, and his heart was shaking accordingly - how could he be so confused!It's only ten steps away from the military tent. If you have the time to hide, you might as well run back!What is being caught now?Woah!I really can't wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River!What did Lord Ning say?Beauty trap!Could it be that he was caught in some kind of beauty trick, he would faint when he talked with this woman, and he couldn't think through such a simple question.Ridiculous, did she put some medicine on her body?Make people dizzy when they smell it?Wei Chi sniffed secretly... He didn't smell anything, but the girl behind him didn't have the reserve of a woman from the Central Plains at all, and she got closer and closer to him... It seemed like a beauty trick, Wei Chi curled his lips in disgust, no wonder Mr. Wang severely criticized Ning Yuan that day, it seems that there is really a reason for the incident.At that time, she looked quite innocent when she fell asleep. I didn't expect that she was such a person... Hmph, no matter whether she is a spy or not, it's better not to keep this kind of person in the team. Someday, talk to Mr. Wang and let her go. Let's go, girl...

The purple-clothed girl's hands were sore, she was scolding Wei Chi in her heart for not taking care of her, and she would have a guilty conscience if she wasn't a thief.Although this man doesn't have any strange smell, but the mouthful of cake scum... Well, after thinking about it, I feel disgusted, and I want to back off, but the gap is too narrow, and I can't move it away after a few moves, so I have to keep silent in my heart. I wrote down a sum, waiting for you to fall into my hands, hum!More than throwing you out to feed the dogs?Too cheap for you!

The soldiers finally walked away... Wei Chi heaved a sigh of relief, and moved out of the crack... He didn't know that the person behind him had silently made a wish to deprive him of the honor of being chewed by dogs.

This stinky man finally got out!The girl in purple swallowed a breath of anger, and rubbed her slightly swollen wrist... She didn't know that the person who was helping her in front of her had completely designated her as a "vixen", and was about to drive herself away like a fly.

"Fortunately Master Wei is astute." The girl in purple's frail, still-shocked appearance aroused pity.

"I was abrupt just now..." Wei Chi bowed modestly, with a distinguished figure and a gentleman's demeanor.

Wei Chi didn't want to say any more, and hurried back to the military tent. Just as he fell into bed and wanted to close his eyes, he touched a straw from the top of his head... and threw it far away!hateful!Just now, I actually carried a straw to be a modest gentleman!

The girl in purple was suffering from the cold hands and feet, and didn't bother to talk anymore, she climbed into the carriage and was about to sleep, but she took out a round ball from the carriage, and took a look out of the carriage, it turned out to be an eggplant! !nausea!It must have been left by that stinky man!To let such a person in!Throw it far away!Just now I thought he smelled good? ? ?get out!asshole!

Before warming my feet to sleep, I heard the clock knocking outside the tent.Wei Chi shrank back into the depths of the quilt, sighed, and got up anyway.After hastily eating breakfast, he was ready to go to Mr. Xu's place, but he was taken aback when he paid the bill. At some point, the thin morning mist became extremely thick, and the whole valley seemed to have fallen into the clouds. Those big mountains seemed to be hidden in an instant, and when I looked up at the sky, I couldn't even see the shadow of the peaks.Wei Chi rubbed his hands, took the lamp handed over by Chen Hu, and hurried to Master Xu's tent.

Xu Yue was already fully dressed and was standing at the door waiting for someone. When he saw Wei Chi coming with a lamp, he went up to meet him: "I don't think we can leave today!"

"Can't this fog clear?" Wei Chi's hometown is deep in the mountains, and this kind of thick fog is often seen, but it will clear at noon.

Xu Yue nodded: "The mountain road here is blocked, and it will be good if the fog clears tomorrow. If we must march today, it will be easy to get lost. If we deviate from the main road, it will be difficult for us to get out of this broken mountain ditch. It will be even more troublesome at that time." !"

Wei Chi was a little anxious: "This fog won't last forever, right?"

"It really depends on luck. If the fog doesn't disperse, we will definitely not dare to march!" Xu Yue sighed: "This ravine is very mysterious. Many merchants who walked along the road lost their way and ended up rotting in this ravine. Li! This terrain is called "ghost hitting the wall" in our Chinese, and it will be troublesome if you encounter it!"

Wei Chi couldn't help shivering. He had heard of the ghost hitting the wall. Since even Xu Yue didn't dare to take the risk, he didn't dare to do it himself. In the end, he reported his idea to Wang Yunyi.Although Wang Yunyi was in a hurry, he didn't dare to order the march. After hesitating for a while, he had to order to camp for a day.

After leaving the big tent, Xu Yue patted Wei Chi on the shoulder: "Master Wei, there are few things today, I can do it by myself, your complexion is not good, it is better to take a rest for a day."

Wei Chi touched his cheek unconsciously: "No, it's just darker...how could I be so delicate."

Xu Yue shook his head: "Young people, don't try your best. Don't look at me as old, but my body is better than yours. Don't compare with me. There is still a long way to go. Go and rest for a day. General Wang is not in a hurry. You are in a hurry. What?" After saying that, he shrunk his neck and pouted at the person in the big tent behind him who was walking away in a hurry.

Wei Chi was amused, and he thought about it for a while. He was grateful for Mr. Xu's consideration for the younger generation, so he didn't refuse too much, and was going to go back to rest.Just as Chen Hu was about to pack his luggage, he received an order to set up camp for a day, so he hurriedly made the bed again.Sure enough, after a while, Wei Chi was seen coming back wrapped in a cloak: "My lord, the bed is ready!"

Wei Chi smiled and nodded, this Chen Hu must have heard something last night... Sitting on the bedside, he really felt a little dizzy, it seems that he was really overtired recently.

When Wei Chi woke up, it was already noon, but the fog didn't mean to disperse at all. The whole valley was still gray, and people who were ten steps away couldn't see their faces clearly.It's strange that I still feel a little dizzy after lunch... Could it be that I haven't slept enough after sleeping for so long?Wei Chi was too lazy to go out, so he just nestled in the tent and read a book. He felt dizzy even more, and his stomach hurt after he fainted...

Is it possible to rest and rest and get sick?Wei Chi was helpless.

"How about Mr. Wei go out for a walk?" Chen Hu came over to persuade him: "This tent is full of panic."

Wei Chi lost his book and lay down for a while, but he really felt that the tent was a bit stuffy, anyway, he had enough lying down, so let's go for a walk!

The grass has become wet and slippery, and after walking a short distance, the boots got wet and felt uncomfortable on the soles of the feet, so they thought about walking back, passing a pile of firewood, and took a stick to scrape the mud on the boots , who would have thought that when he bowed his head, he would feel dizzy and dizzy, and watched himself fall onto the firewood pile!I wanted to reach out to hold a pile of firewood - but when I touched a pair of warm hands, I fell into the man's arms before I had time to think about it.

"Who!"

"I!"

Wei Chi raised his eyelids, there was a thick white mist behind that person, the mist made her lavender robe extraordinarily elegant, and the moment it touched her warm palm, it seemed that dizziness was relieved many.

"Wei Canling..."

A word of Wei Canling made Wei Chi sober up a lot, and he hurriedly struggled to stand up, but the man just didn't let go.

"Wei Shenling... the little girl also knows some medical skills, why don't you let me show you." Then he put on Wei Chi's wrist.

"Don't!" Wei Chi managed to gain a firm foothold, but the woman took a step faster. Wei Chi felt his wrist tighten, and then suddenly loosened.

"You!" The woman's voice was no longer sweet, and there was a hint of surprise in the chill: "Two inches of floating pulse..."

Floating pulse?Wei Chi broke free abruptly.

"You are a woman!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Chi was startled by these words, and became more sober: "Aren't you locked in the carriage? How did you come here? Are you trying to escape?"

"Master Wei! You are a woman!" The purple-clothed girl changed from her gentle and delicate appearance in the past, and every sentence got to the point.

"It's inexplicable! A mere captive, talking nonsense!" Wei Chi secretly clenched the dagger at his waist.

"Hehe, what's the point of sophistry? As long as you take off your clothes, what can you cover up? I don't dare to boast about anything else, but this medical skill is not fake!"

"Who are you?!" Wei Chi held the dagger, his palms sweating.

"I should ask who you are." The woman in purple looked at Wei Chi arrogantly: "If you want to keep your identity, this girl can show you the way."

"..."

Taking a sneak peek, the man seemed to be a little shaken, and the girl in purple suppressed the tension and excitement in her heart: "Tell me, is Wang Yunyi going to Bayantala..."

As soon as the words fell, the cold dagger was stuck to the neck. The person who was flustered and a little bit at a loss just now returned to his coldness. can see...

Who is this man?How could he care about such a thing... Wei Chi's heart was in his throat, and his identity was known by such a person... It stands to reason that he should kill her immediately!If you don't do anything at this time, you will become a fish on someone else's chopping board!

"I'm not threatened by you..." Wei Chi withdrew the dagger slowly: "If you want to say it, you can say it."

"..."

"Da Qi's army does not lack me as a leader, and the Da Qi court does not lack me as a candidate." At the moment when he was about to start, Wei Chi suddenly felt tired. The past 17 years had been too tiring.

"If you don't tell me! I'll tell you! Then don't regret not killing me!" The purple girl's eyes turned red, and she grabbed Wei Chi by the neckline.

At this moment, Wei Chi could see clearly that this seemingly weak and sweet woman was actually as tall as her.

"Go ahead and talk..." Wei Chi slapped the woman's hand off, and put the dagger back into the scabbard.

"You are not afraid of death?"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" You forced yourself for 17 years, why?

17 years!

The life he longed for, the feeling of being respected by others...how could he lose it so easily...Wei Chi suddenly felt ashamed.
