Minister

Chapter 17

17【Six Years of Jiankang】

The girl in purple was taken aback by the question, but she allowed this man to walk away!The white mist quickly covered his back... Oh, no, it was her... I didn't expect that she was a woman...

Just now she was in a hurry, killing her would not gain any benefit, the purple-clothed girl took a deep breath, raised her trembling hand and rubbed her neck.This person has been selected by Tanhua. According to the laws and regulations of their country of Qi, this person should be a serious scholar, but judging from his brutal appearance just now, he looks a bit like a killer... Touching his heart, he was still jumping.Don't be afraid, this heavy fog is not something Qi Jun can handle...if the gods bless it, it can be delayed for a few days.That person lives in the military commander, so he should be able to see all the secret letters of the military case, even if he can't see it, he can steal it.Now that he has entered Qiying, he has lost contact with his own people for a long time. I don't know what happened to Wulanchabu.It was already a mess before leaving, what is the situation at this time... Hey, I have planned all kinds of things but my luck is so bad, I can meet the Qi army on such a path, and almost suffer.The dozen or so people who traveled with me are all close friends who have been with me all the year round. This time they risked their lives to take them away from Ulanqab, but they didn't expect to harm them.Before leaving, I received an urgent secret letter from Bayantala. Bayantala is located in the south of the permafrost desert. February to May is the season for blowing sand. Since the war started in February, food has become increasingly scarce. Others The tribe's attitude is also ambiguous. If Wang Yunyi's reinforcements are added at this time, it will be difficult for Bayantala to survive May!

The etiquette in the Central Plains is strict, and this person was almost frightened out of his mind just now. He wanted to take advantage of her panic and force her to be obedient, but he was clever when encountering serious things!After this time, it will be even more difficult to trap her... But in this army, how much help and trust can a woman of a foreign race get?Those few young junior officers are nothing more than those with a little bit of official position are so smart, I'm afraid they won't fall for their little tricks.Wei Chi, and only that Wei Chi, still has the capital to blackmail her. If she still cherishes her life, she should cooperate with him.

The woman in purple clenched her hands... It's okay, that person will come back to me, for sure!

Wei Chi rushed a few steps angrily, stopped to think about it and panicked, ran a few steps and then felt something was wrong, quickly slowed down and tried to calm down, pretended for a while but felt that it was not like it, what if he was with someone at this time I am afraid that my voice will shake when I say a word.Why didn't you kill her just now?How did you escape?What was the reason for being so angry just now... Wei Chi stomped his feet.After ten years of studying hard in the cold window and suffering so much, it is not for such a tragic squandering today! ... regret it.

That woman is definitely a noble person!Otherwise, she wouldn't be risking her life to ask about Bayantala!Wei Chi rubbed his temples, this is the end of the matter, don't worry about gains and losses anymore!Desperate?Not necessarily... If she reported to Wang Yunyi rashly, even if Wang Yunyi believed it, he would not be distracted from dealing with him at this time, let alone he wanted to save face for the Hanlin Academy.Spreading rumors?I'm afraid that no one believes that a woman can win the prize.What's more, how can she, a prisoner of war, know that I am a woman?Two-inch floating pulse?There are a few people who can understand what she is saying... I can't understand anyway.As long as it can be exchanged with her... The exchange is... If she wants to hide something... I will deal with it at that time.

Wei Chi patted the back of his head. It's been so many years, but he still can't change his bad character...What are you doing with yourself... Do evil, do evil!What to do now...

When it was almost dark, Wei Chi walked back to the tent and secretly observed the attitudes of the people around him... There was nothing abnormal, it seemed that his deduction was correct, the mysterious woman didn't want to hurt both sides.

After all, what is in your hands is only my identity, and what is in my hands is your life!

Seeing Chen Hu coming up to meet him, Wei Chi took a deep breath and smiled at him as usual: "When will the dinner be delivered?"

"If you go back to my lord, I'll be here in a while." Chen Hu looked at the lord's expression getting worse: "Sir, do you want to invite the doctor from the Central Pharmacy Bureau to come over? Your lord's face is so pale..."

Wei Chi felt his eyelids twitch when he heard the word doctor: "No need! It's just a cold! I also know some medical skills, so I can take care of it myself!!"

Chen Hu was taken aback: "The villain is just talking... If you don't invite me, I won't invite you..."

"Okay... Let's go to bed and rest..." Wei Chi realized that his tone was wrong just now, so he quickly covered it up, only looking forward to eating and going to bed quickly.I've never been so scared when I grew up... don't make any trouble today.

"Except for General Wang who called me, everyone else said I was asleep." After thinking about it, he added.

In the early morning of the next day, while Chen Hu was still asleep, he heard Wei Chi banging in his tent.

"Are you up yet?" Chen Hu hurriedly put on his clothes.

"Ah..." Wei Chi chirped, "Ah, no, get up at night, don't get up when you fall asleep, I lit the lamp..."

Chen Hu thought for a while, and decided to lie down obediently.It wasn't until Maoshi that I found out that Mr. Wei was no longer in the tent. He didn't know when he left, and even the quilt was straightened...Huh?Chen Hu scratched his head, is there some important military matter?I don't know if Master Wei had breakfast...

The fog... was getting thicker, and it was difficult to see people ten steps away.

Wang Yunyi was so angry that he dropped his cup and ordered Xu Yue to come up with a solution before tomorrow.Xu Yue lowered his head and said nothing, he is not God, even if he wanted to get rid of the fog, he would not be able to do that... After Wang Yunyi scolded Xu Yue, he turned back to Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan knew that Wang Yunyi was just Crazy, not sophistry, just listened coldly.Wang Yunyi was furiously cursing, when he looked back, he saw Wei Chi's head shaking at the door.

"Come in!!!" They came at the right time, and these two old fritters didn't accept the call at all!

Wei Chi shrank in and cupped his hands: "General Wang... Morning."

"What a fart!? Is the fog blinding your eyes?"

Maoshi... It would be midnight if it was any earlier. Wei Chi saw Xu Yue's face, and knew that it was Wang Yunyi who was looking for faults.

Seeing Wei Chi hang his head, Wang Yunyi questioned the army's food, horses and military discipline all over in one breath, and Wei Chi would give him a good reprimand if he squeaked a little.

Sure enough, I was still too young, so I answered whatever I asked... Seeing Wei Chi's flustered look, Wang Yunyi felt relieved a lot.

"Who is guarding those unused armors behind the army? How many of those lead sheets and iron chains are there? How many of those blank certificates of grain registration that Du Qihuan showed you last month? Your subordinates are in charge." What are those military officers doing recently? Why do I keep seeing them wandering around? I have already said that the military letter for the rear should be handed over to me before noon. Is it so difficult for you to copy the letter? I know you Finding the way outside! It’s not that there is no document for you! You don’t know how to copy it early and let him send it over!? Your attitude is doomed to defeat! We fight to fight time! How do you treat us as Wang Jiajun... ..."

"General Wang!!" Wei Chi yelled suddenly, so loud that even Ning Yuan raised his head.

"..." Wang Yunyi was very surprised, this brat actually dared to interrupt himself: "Say! What's the matter!"

"General Wang..." Wei Chi's face turned pale for a moment, "General Wang... Your servant... I want to relieve you..."

"..."

"..."

Xu Yue peeked at Wei Chi's face, and he could find such a reason... more and more Wang Jiajun's demeanor.

"Bastard!!" Wang Yunyi yelled loudly: "Du Qihuan! Come in for me!"

Du Qihuan, who was snickering outside the tent, turned cold. Wei Chi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. It's been an hour, and it's time to change someone.Looking back, I saw Xu Yue winking, feeling depressed-I didn't lie...I really wanted to relieve myself...Really.Xu Yue continued to raise his eyebrows - you kid is still sophistry...

Wang Yunyi was about to start scolding, when he suddenly saw these two people eyeing each other in private, he couldn't help shouting: "You two get out!!"

Wei Chi heaved a sigh of relief, he even forgot to do the arch, and hurried away.

"Where is Master Wei?" Xu Yue walked out of the big tent, stretched his waist, and asked the guards in front of the tent.

"Here..." The guard was about to point, but he didn't know whether it was the fog or Mr. Wei slipped too fast... he had already disappeared.

"Could it be that you really want to relieve yourself?" Xu Yue muttered, and finally turned to look for the master in charge of military discipline: "It's foggy today, no one is allowed to leave the camp!! Anyone who violates the order, beheaded!"

Chen Hu wondered if Mr. Wei was a little upset, why he still didn't come out after hiding his head behind the screen for so long.

"Is your lord having a stomachache?" Chen Hu finally decided to ask.

"No...no" Wei Chi replied in embarrassment. It's been a while, so let's just leave now.

"I'm going out to do some errands." Wei Chi thought for a while, but it's better not to procrastinate.

"Just now there was an order from above saying that the fog is thick and everyone is not allowed to leave the camp."

"I see, I'll be back before dinner. When the clerk comes, give him the stack of letters on my desk, and tell him to come and get them every day at noon!" Wei Chi said while putting on his cloak.

"My lord, wait a moment!" Chen Hu lit a sheepskin lantern and handed it over: "It's very foggy today, my lord should light a lamp. Although this light can't illuminate the road, it can prevent people from bumping into you." Tighten Wei Chi's cloak.

"En." Wei Chi touched the flint in his arms, and took the lamp.

If it wasn't for a war, this place would really be a fairyland. Wei Chi looked into the depths of the mountain. To prevent the soldiers from getting lost, torches were lit all around the camp. Caught the fireflies in the mosquito net.There is nothing to go shopping in this foggy day. The soldiers who usually like to come out to bask in the sun and chatter would rather hide in the tents and rest. Holding a sheepskin lantern, it seemed that Chen Hu was right. If such a thick fog didn't light a lamp, people wouldn't even know it hit them.

After walking around in circles, Wei Chi blew out the lamp in his hand, and sneaked back to Ning Yuan's camp. After hesitating for a moment, he still arched his fingers and knocked on the small window on the carriage.

"Who?" That sweet voice.

Wei Chi took a deep breath: "I am Wei Chi."

There was silence in the carriage for a long time, and finally the man opened the curtain and jumped out of the car.Wei Chi was afraid of being bumped into by someone, so he grabbed the man's arm and ran away.

"Are you not afraid of threats? What are you doing running so fast?" The woman in purple rubbed her arm coldly.

There are too many soldiers in the rear, too many officers in the middle army, and the former army can't go there. After thinking about it, Wei Chi chose a stable...

"I'm just talking casually, but you hold grudges in every sentence. Since each of us has something in the other's hands, we might as well avoid some detours and directly put forward conditions, so as to save some time and go back to sleep." Wei Chi found Hua Leopard, pretending to pick up straw to brush its back.

"... Are you going to Bayantala?"

"This can't be said." Wei Chi added: "I don't know anything about military affairs, so don't ask."

The woman in purple sneered: "Don't talk to the military... You really are not sincere."

"It's not without sincerity. I can't exchange the lives of so many soldiers for my own life." Wei Chi said very seriously: "So, I won't talk about military affairs, this is the principle."

"Then why should I listen to you? After all, it's you who have the handle on me." The woman in purple sat down leaning on a rock.

"Let me remind the girl," Wei Chi stopped his hands, "If I hadn't helped you that day, you might have been feeding maggots in the ravine long ago."

"..."

"I saved you, and that's the condition of the exchange. Also, I don't see much of a grip on me. Even if you tell Wang Yunyi, he may not kill me as you wish. You can still see me after so many days. Come out? That General Wang is not an idiot."

"Are you threatening me in reverse?" The woman in purple cut off the straw in her hand.

"That's not true, I'm just analyzing the current situation for the girl, so that you don't get flustered and make the wrong move..."

The woman in purple ignored Wei Chi's sarcasm: "You don't say anything, what am I going to give you back? I don't have time to waste time with you."

"Maybe remind the girl that the only thing separating us now is the word "position". If we can exchange positions with each other, maybe there is a possibility of cooperation," Wei Chi pointed to himself and then to the other party: "Who am I? Who are you? This matters."

The woman in purple thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Actually, you have already guessed nine points of who I am, and I have also guessed nine points of who you are. Although that point makes you and me uneasy, it needs to be pierced to find out." Progress, in fact, it doesn’t matter.”

"You are an aristocrat from Monan, absolutely!" Wei Chi said, "Report directly to your family."

"The eldest princess of the Monan royal family, Saul Hahan." The purple-clothed woman said lightly: "What about you? Daqi's Tanhualang, I heard that you were thrown into the army because you were unappreciated. Some people say that you are your King Yan." My favorite man, come and tell me how you, a girl, became a man's favorite."

princess!Wei Chi turned his head secretly, thinking it was just the daughter of some city lord... Swallowing the spittle in his throat, the reason for this must be too big!

"The King Yan of Daqi knows my identity. I did pass Tanhua. I originally planned to spend two years in the court before returning to my hometown. But in the end, the officials became obsessed and decided to make some military achievements so that I could be promoted."

It turned out to be a real flower!Saul Hahan was stunned for a moment. He thought it was a trick of the Daqi royal family, and the spies sent by the vassal... turned out to be the real thing.

The two were silent for a moment, thinking about their own concerns. At least one thing is certain now. Judging from their attitudes, cooperation is not impossible, although they seem to be on opposite sides.

"I'll come to you in two days. Do you want to stay with Ning Yuan or change your guard?" Wei Chi blinked.

"No, that idiot is not bad. I've been too busy to pay attention to me recently... You can't give me what I want most, so don't use these petty profits to talk to me."

Seen through, Wei Chi secretly kicked away the stone at his feet: "One more thing..." Wei Chi blushed: "I came last night... I had my period..."

"Message???" Saul Hahan began to laugh with his mouth covered, squatting on the ground and laughing, then he covered his stomach and beat the pillar beside him to laugh.

"Keep your voice down!" Wei Chi looked around in horror.

"Hahaha... You are really having a menstrual event... Hahaha, if I tell Wang Yunyi about this, I don't know what will happen... Hahaha!" The so-called two-inch floating pulse is a sign that the menstrual event is coming. It's also a coincidence, even if Saul Hahan is proficient in medical skills, it is still difficult to detect a man and a woman from his pulse. Although Wei Chi is handsome, he does not look feminine at all. Saul Hahan didn't think in that direction at first, but Who would have thought that when she was experiencing her menarche, how could a man have such obvious femininity?

"If you dare to do that, I will kill you now!" When Wei Chi's teacher was nagging her about medical skills and pharmacology, Wei Chiquan ignored it, and almost forgot it after memorizing it. Now I really want to slap myself... …

"Hahaha, you won't." Saul Hahan stood up: "If you could do it cruelly, you would have done it long ago, don't you think so?"

Wei Chi was out of breath.

Wei Chi's face turned even redder: "Have you laughed enough?...I still have something to ask..."

Seeing Wei Chi's serious look, Saul Hahan thought that there were still important conditions to discuss, so he finally stopped laughing and motioned to speak quickly, speak quickly.

"That thing... How to use it... Well, it's that..."

Thinking about it, Saul Hahan laughed so hard that he couldn't even stand up, and squatted on the ground to rub his stomach.

Wei Chi was so regretful that his intestines were green. He didn't tell her if he knew about it. He thought she could help... He knew about this before, but unfortunately those who knew his identity were all men, so he couldn't teach them.A few days ago, I felt unwell and thought I was sick, but when I woke up last night, I found some blood in my pants.

Seeing that the person in front of him was really going to become angry from embarrassment, Saul Hahan barely supported the pillar and stood up: "Looking at your embarrassment, relieved my anger!"

Wei Chi looked at this woman's humble appearance and thought to himself: Why did I come here to beg her? ? ? ? ! ! ! !

"I just said... No matter how I provoke you, you don't even look at me, so you are also a woman." Saul Hahan hummed.

"..." Could it be that you were... seducing me a few days ago?This time it's Wei Chi's turn to turn his face away and snigger, hahaha... But hold back, there is still something to ask at this time, so don't be too arrogant.

Seeing Wei Chi turn his head away, Saul Hahan thought she was shy, too, how could the little girl not panic when it was her first menstruation?I don't know what kind of background this person is, but he wants to pretend to be a man and go out of the world, saying that he is young and old, but after all, he is still a 17-year-old girl who doesn't even have a female family member to teach him the ways of the world, which is quite sad.For the sake of colluding with "big things" in the future, let the adults teach you a thing or two today...

"Oh... so that's how it is." The few ropes that had troubled Wei Chi for a long time last night were finally tied in the correct knot in his mind.Thank you, His Highness Chen Ang, who knows everything, for being able to stuff such things into her luggage. If you have time, look through it carefully, maybe you can even find some "things" that you don't know...

Because of his shyness and anxiety, Wei Chi's nose was sweating a little.Saul Hahan turned his head to look at her, um, at this moment, she really looks like a woman.Looking closely at his eyebrows and eyes, it is really much slender than that of a man. If it weren't for her men's movements and demeanor, it is almost not difficult to see that this is a woman in disguise.

"Why do you want to be a man?" Saul Hahan blurted out without thinking.

"Oh?" Wei Chi still silently thanked Chen Ang in his heart: "What did you say?"

"I said!" Saul Hahan paused: "I said, why don't you be a good woman and be a man!" Take a closer look. Dressed in a shirt and skirt, and a phoenix snail like a moon bun, a golden twisted silk lantern hairpin inserted obliquely, coupled with those tinkling pendants of various colors, she is a top-notch lady.

"Look." Wei Chi stepped on the stone: "I don't want to bind my feet, it's as simple as that."

After the master sat down, the five-year-old Wei Chi went down the mountain with his teacher. Since he had been a young monk, he naturally didn't bind his feet.The teacher looked at Wei Chi's pair of heavenly feet and shook his head. It stands to reason that they have to be wrapped up. How can they get married if they don't?Wei Chi refused to live or die. He had seen girls with bound feet in the village before, and none of them had fought to the death. Some little girls could not sleep all night because of the pain. The adults had to carry the children to the well and sit with their legs hanging down. In the well, it is better to suffer from the cold of the well water.A little older, Wei Chi relied on his big feet to crawl all over the mountain, and those girls' feet were beautiful, but they could no longer walk properly...

The teacher said that if you don't want to bind your feet, you have to study. Originally, he said it casually, but who knows that this girl just became addicted to being a student, and she just put on a square scarf and became a scholar.

How are you going to behave in the world with this neither male nor female appearance in the future?The teacher let out a long sigh... Wei Chi thought, if I let you taste the taste of bound feet, I am afraid that you would also be willing to live a lifetime without being a man or a woman...

It was only then that Saul Hahan realized that the three-inch golden lotus of the Daqi woman had to be wrapped tightly to get out: "You are really simple..."

"Yes, I am very simple. It is simple because I have enough confidence to deal with all crises. People who speak out are often not because of courage, but because of strength." Wei Chi pointed to himself: "I am such a person .I'm a small leader right now, but it won't be forever. You have ambitions, and so do I, so we'll have a great time working together...if it's as simple as you."

"That's right." Saul Hahan patted his sleeves and stood up: "However, speaking of cooperation, I think it's more like collaborating."

Wei Chi smiled: "What should I call you in the future? Do I call you Your Highness Princess Saul Hahan? Or call you Embarrassed Girl?"

Saul Hahan thought for a while: "I made up a random name when I met Wang Yunyi. You can also call me Qi Qige."

"Qiqige? What does the name mean?"

"Hmm..." Saul Hahan turned his head and thought for a while, "It means the shepherdess." It's quite suitable for this little sheep like you.

Wei Chi read it silently - I thought it meant hen...

Wei Canling of Daqi met Qi Qige, a girl from Monan who was ordered to feed the horses in the stable. Under the supervision and guidance of Wei Canling, the captive girl Qi Qige completed the work. Her task of feeding the horses.

"Miss Qi Qige, I'm leaving, you have to feed the horse carefully, or I will deal with you according to the law!" Wei Shenling warned solemnly.

"Follow your lord's order, little girl dare not be lazy..." Miss Qi Qige was very respectful.

Seeing Saul Hahan's serious look, Wei Chi held back a smile and walked out of the stable. This man is also a fine man, if his past is not too bad luck, the two of them should not be enemies.It would be terrible if I really let a fool know my identity, because I can't kill him, and if I don't kill him, I'm afraid that the fool will do something wrong with good intentions.This fine person, as long as she still has something she can use...she will definitely not let the wind leak.She will definitely need me... Wei Chi smiled secretly, he has read all of King Yan's secret letters, he knows all about General Wang's military cases, princess, it's just right for you and me to cooperate.

When walking back to the central army, the sky had already darkened slightly, Wei Chi took out the flint and lit the lantern.

Xu Yue searched for Wei Chi all afternoon, and asked Wei Chi's primary school and clerk, but they all said they didn't know his whereabouts, so don't get lost, right?Xu Yue wiped his sweat, seeing that the sky was getting darker, he became more and more anxious.Chen Hu beside him suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the faintly bright ball of light in the distance: "Isn't that Mr. Wei?"

Hearing the shout, Wei Chi looked up, and Master Xu's white beard and Chen Hu's ax eyebrows clearly came into view: "The fog seems to have lightened!"

Xu Yue came forward to greet him: "Where have you been wandering! According to this posture, you can march tomorrow, and you quickly hand over those broken things about exploring the road to me. Du Qihuan is still waiting for you in the big tent." work for him!"
