Broken Iron Clothes

=====================

Yuan Mucheng passed Xu Yixu as if there was no one around, and walked straight to Jiang Shiqing.He pulled out the knife and shook off the mud above it, then clamped the blade between his left arms and wiped it off without any fuss, and then put the knife back into the sheath.

"Go home." He stretched out his hand to Jiang Shiqing, with a slight smile on his face.

Jiang Shiqing reached into his palm, and all the defenses he had set up before were melted away.But after the ice edge turned into spring water, it flowed to one place alone, not wanting to pass through the barren land at all.

Xu Yixu endured his thirst, and seeing the two holding hands getting tighter and tighter, he laughed mockingly: "Yuan Mucheng, stop your ruthless efforts first, don't go to the Western Realm once, but in the end it is They were carried back."

Yuan Mucheng didn't take it seriously, but just used his thumb to wipe off the little mud stains on Jiang Shiqing's forehead, and said with a smile: "Xu Siye is so strong, I have to die after you to be happy, don't I?"

Fingers climbed from the palm to the wrist, Yuan Mucheng pulled Jiang Shiqing closer with a little force, and took him away in his arms.

The itching in my heart accumulated a lot, and the pain came out. Xu Yixu didn't have the heart to be hypocritical anymore, turned his head and said coldly: "I have no ability to kill you, how can you kill me?"

Yuan Mucheng snorted: "I didn't kill you purely because of the law, but don't forget who you were originally. If Xu Bing fell for the crime, even if you quit and made a second contribution, Yan Youqian dare to use you with confidence in the future." ?"

He lowered his head and rubbed Jiang Shiqing's earlobes as if to relieve his addiction, and said to Xu Yixu softly: "You have always been the only one who has no ability."

Xu Yixu smiled: "Why don't you think about it, what if I am Yan Youqian?"

"Yuan Mucheng, just wait, there are things you can't do anything about."

The movements of Yuan Mucheng's hands were slightly sluggish, and his heart was a little more irritable. He had no intention of talking to Xu Yixu again, and without stopping, he took Jiang Shiqing and walked away.

Xu Yixu stood alone in the shadow of the forest, staring straight ahead boringly, his eyes became more and more cold.

After returning to Jiang Zhai, Yuan Mucheng leaned against the pillar of the corridor alone, taking advantage of the time between the Zhongding Mountain Range Clinic, feeling the wolf teeth on his neck in a trance.

Gu Nanxing came from behind him and knocked on the pillar with his knuckles.

Yuan Mucheng turned his head slightly, and two wine jars bumped into his eyes. Gu Nanxing passed by him immediately, turned around and raised an eyebrow at him backwards, and pointed to the roof.

Yuan Mucheng understood, straightened up lazily and followed.

The wine from the jar was poured straight into his mouth, and after overflowing the corner of his mouth, it trickled down his chin to the skirt of his clothes, and the wet clothes clinged to his skin, sticking heavily.Yuan Mucheng pulled his clothes out a few times, then sat and looked at the distant twilight covered by the pavilion.

Gu Nanxing touched him lightly with the wine jar in his hand, and asked, "When are you going to the western region?"

Yuan Mucheng took a sip and said, "I don't know yet, but it shouldn't be long."

Gu Nanxing looked into the distance, and said flatly, "Take me one."

Yuan Mucheng turned to look at him and asked, "What are you going to do, fight?"

"That's right," Gu Nanxing said with a smile, "Could it be that I still go drinking with you? You are so beautiful."

Yuan Mucheng kicked him: "Get out, can you choke to death if you speak seriously?"

Gu Nanxing took the kick with a smile, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he became serious: "It is also Feng Han who led the big people into Yingzhou, and the blood debt I want to collect from someone Gu is part of him." share."

Yuan Mucheng didn't answer, just passed the wine jar in his hand to his eyes, and shook it at him again, Gu Nanxing laughed, and bumped against him perfunctorily.

"Hey, let me ask you, you are gone, how do you plan to settle Huaichuan," Gu Nanxing asked, "Take it with you?"

Yuan Mucheng shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Huai Chuan's body hasn't recovered yet, it's too dangerous to follow me around."

Gu Nanxing sighed: "I'm still naive, thinking that this time Dali can win."

The hem of the clothes was so heavy that it pressed down on his chest, so Yuan Mucheng magnified the thoughts that were already hidden in his heart, and felt oppressed.

Because what Xu Yixu said was right - there are some things that he can't do anything about.

"No matter how many soldiers Feng Han's private army has, even if he burns his army rations, he can turn his head and ask Da Mo for help. As far as I know, Da Mo can raise nearly 20 troops at least. Da Li Although there are 60 troops, excluding the Weiming Army and the troops scattered in the camps of various states, there are a total of 35 people guarding the city, but the city is the capital of the emperor after all, and we need to keep enough troops. I can fight this time. The maximum number of troops taken away is less than 20."

"What if we ask for help from the camps in various states?" Gu Nanxing asked.

Yuan Mucheng said: "Dali has a vast territory. On the one hand, the military supplies of the camps in various states are supplied by the imperial court, but most of them are the same as those in the western region. They rely on the local grain fields specially reclaimed for the army. If the camps in various states come to reinforce It’s okay to be close, but when the distance is far away, soldiers and horses rushing along the way not only consumes manpower, but also consumes material resources. Basically, nearly [-]% of the military rations that can be carried along the way will be consumed. In the end, these reinforcements still have to eat the food provided by the rear. , once the battle line is stretched, I'm afraid even food will become a problem, so Dali needs to be able to afford so many talents to ask for help. After all, food transportation also needs to be consumed, so it's not that easy.

"So right now we can only ask for help from the nearest Yuzhou camp, but the land in Yuzhou can't produce much food a year, and it's barely enough to maintain the daily life of the people, and it can't afford the army at all, so the difficulty of Yuzhou camp is to eat enough We can only rely on the imperial court for food, and when it is more urgent, we usually allocate food from the official warehouse in Aozhou first, but not long ago, Yuzhou began to hoard supplies, so it should not be a problem to deal with this battle."

But even so, in order to protect the northern border, the Xuanhe army that can come to support is at most [-], or even less.And I don't know how long this battle will last, but Jiang Shiqing has less than a year to wait.

Yuan Mucheng drank a few sips of wine sullenly, and fell into melancholy again, but Gu Nanxing grabbed his shoulders.

"It's hard, brother, then I have to tighten my belt, and I must not compete for your food," Gu Nanxing sighed again, "But you say that you are alive, and you are tired of thinking about how to eat and drink. If you panic, who would like to fight all day long?"

Gu Nanxing shook his head thinking, and glanced at Yuan Mucheng: "Anyway, I'm not happy, what about you, General?"

"My heart is more turbulent than that of Vice-Vendor Gu," said Yuan Mucheng, pretending to be a slut, and turned to tease Gu Nanxing, "By the way, Lao Gu, what do you call me when I go to the battlefield? ? At that time, nodding and bowing will be considered commonplace, why don't you get used to it in advance?"

Gu Nanxing laughed contemptuously: "Heh, now I think of taking advantage of me, I'll let you do it."

He withdrew his hand and elbowed Yuan Mucheng, and said, "Don't interrupt, we haven't said anything yet, what about Huaichuan?"

Yuan Mucheng gradually put away his smiling face, and said seriously: "I originally wanted him to go to Yuzhou to wait for me, but with the news of the war in the western region, I am afraid that the northern region will not be stable. The old man wants to guard the northern region, and it is inconvenient for the elder brother to move with the army. Eldest sister is worried, most likely she will go west with the reinforcements Xuan and the army, if Huaichuan goes to Yuzhou, without elder sister to take care of her, I am afraid that he will be uncomfortable, and more importantly, I am afraid that the northern border will not be safe."

In case the Wu Sen Department and the Ba Lang Department took advantage of the situation, the northern border would soon become a battlefield, but he could not take care of both ends in the western border. He had to think about the worst outcome before making plans.

As Yuan Mucheng thought about it, his heart became even more confused.

"Thinking so much, have you asked if they want to go to Yuzhou to wait for you?" Gu Nanxing said, "Don't look at him as the deputy owner, but he can be regarded as a family leader. There is a small one, no less worried than you."

As soon as he heard that the family was leading the way, Yuan Mucheng suddenly realized that Gu Nanxing clearly had a lot of unfinished "housework", so he stared sideways at that person several times.

Gu Nanxing felt that the gaze was provocative, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"What are you doing?" Gu Nanxing asked.

Yuan Mucheng rested his elbows on his raised knees, gaining more confidence to interrogate others: "What are your plans, Mr. Lin Meng still wants to stay by Huaichuan's side, so I don't ask, but Ji Dong doesn't care, good friend Don't worry about it?"

Gu Nanxing laughed out loud: "It's really good, you, every time I talk to you, I always bring things to me."

"Okay," Yuan Mucheng nodded, but his eyes swept away from somewhere, "I can't ask this question, so someone will naturally ask."

With that said, he got up on his own, lowered his head and smiled at Gu Nanxing meaningfully, then turned his head and walked away stepping on the tiles.

Gu Nanxing raised his voice and said, "Leave now?"

Yuan Mucheng turned his back and waved at him, then jumped off the roof.

Gu Nanxing sighed at the almost dark sky, raised his head and drank the wine in the altar, and then looked down at somewhere below and laughed helplessly.

-

Yi Qinchen clenched the blind stick in his hand and walked slowly under the eaves of the corridor.

The shadow cast by the flames on the wall was elongated and slender, walking alone in the corridor, and suddenly a figure followed him quietly, walked a few steps behind him, and then clung to him, pulling the two shadows together. The gap between them was instantly squeezed.

Yi Qinchen was forced to stop, and the back of his hand was wrapped in the man's warm palm.

Gu Nanxing hugged him behind himself, leaned his head against his forehead and let out a low laugh: "Why do you like to eavesdrop on people's conversations so much?"

Yi Qinchen was dumb for a moment.

Gu Nanxing didn't say anything, just leaned against him lightly, grabbed the fingers in his palm, and started playing like a child.

After a long silence, Yi Qinchen asked, "Where are you going?"

Finally, when the man opened his mouth to break the ice, Gu Nanxing acted badly, pushed the man to the wall, hugged him against the wall, and held those legs around his waist.

He touched the waist, leaned closer, bit the skirt of the shirt with his teeth, and sucked on the exposed skin.

Yi Qinchen panted in a low voice, tightened his fingers, and grabbed his hair.

"Don't make trouble."

Gu Nanxing raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a serious tone, "It's not a mess, it was you who made the trouble yourself."

As he said that, his hands moved towards the heels of his legs, doing dirty tricks through his clothes.

"Nonsense." Yi Qinchen bit his lower lip until it turned red, feeling a little ashamed.

The exposed collarbone in the messy skirt is taking shape with the breath, and the fine sweat falls on it, revealing a little crystal, which is very attractive.

Gu Nanxing pressed against him with a little more strength, kissed his shoulder all the way, and pushed the shirt completely off his shoulder.

As long as he thinks about Yi Qinchen's majesty in front of his subordinates in the past, but now he looks so reserved, Gu Nanxing can't help being excited, full of desire to put it down.

He leaned his face closer and said slowly: "It is clear that the leader eavesdropped on me first, and then questioned me, and now he hooked me with his body. With so many debts, where should we start?"
