Chapter 156 The Eve Before the Expedition

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, now I think of Zhaoren's expression when he danced the sword, I want to laugh. Tomorrow, I will go to the battlefield. This joke will last me for several months!"

After Wei Yueyan finished speaking, the carriage suddenly fell silent, only the sound of the coachman driving the horse and the rough sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the streets of Jinling City could be heard.Ling Qiufan didn't say anything at all, just listened quietly, but Wei Yueyan suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"General?" Xu Shi was silent for a long time in the carriage, Ling Qiufan turned around and his pair of autumn water eyes were reflected under the bright lights of Jinling City at night, making him even more affectionate.

Wei Yueyan, however, closed her eyes to shut out the beautiful scenery, as if she would sink in if she just glanced at it, the self-control she was always proud of was fragile and vulnerable, she didn't know what she would do things come.

All the way to the general's mansion in silence, the old housekeeper went forward to count the precious utensils given by the imperial court at the farewell banquet today and the gifts presented by a group of ministers. Yue Yan's saber was about to be nursed and maintained before the expedition, but when he was about to leave, Wei Yueyan called to stop him.

"Jian Sui, be careful."

Zhan Jin nodded, "The general will give instructions every time, and the subordinates know about it."

Wei Yueyan waved his hand, "I'll go to the arsenal to take a final look. We're going to go to war tomorrow, so don't make any mistakes at the last minute. Everyone work hard tonight."

"Yes, General." Zhan Jin clasped his fists in response, and left with his sword in his hand.

Wei Yueyan turned around and told Ling Qiufan, "Go with Lushen first, go to bed early, I will sleep outside tonight so I won't disturb you."

Ling Qiufan nodded, was about to go back to the house but was stopped by Wei Yueyan.

"lady."

"What's wrong? General." Ling Qiufan turned around as he said.

"I... I'll take you back to the house."

Ling Qiufan's heart skipped a beat, but he nodded without saying anything.

In the armory, Zhan Jin led a row of servants on duty to stand with their heads bowed for training, while Wei Yueyan was furious.

"How many times have I said, be careful of Jiansui! Don't you still know the meaning of this Jiansui after so many years?!" Wei Yueyan wrapped his left arm around his chest and rested his forehead with his right hand, looking extremely angry. Except for the better mood after the flower viewing feast, the rest of the time was not peaceful.No one knows better than her what the nature of this battle to suppress chaos in southern Xinjiang is. It is extremely dangerous for a lieutenant to insert a ghost in it, and southern Xinjiang is where she almost died. However, Jiansui was broken again at this critical point.

Although Wei Yueyan didn't believe in ghosts and gods very much, it was the first time that things went wrong so soon, so people couldn't help thinking about it.

Fortunately, the expedition is going to be tomorrow, if it were Wei Yueyan who was in normal times, he would be able to carry two dead bodies out now.The two servants who were kneeling on the ground already had several obvious scars on their bodies, but they all lowered their heads silently, as if they knew that they had touched their own general's scales this time, and it was not unfair to suffer this time.

Wei Yueyan continued to count the weapons, so he didn't get entangled in this matter.Let Zhan Jin take the broken and scattered sword spike and put it on the Arhat bed outside the dormitory, and she went back to repair it by herself after a while.

Zhan Jin held the sword as if she was holding some precious glazed treasure, and came to the door of the dormitory with the slowest and most careful steps in her life, thinking that Mrs. Zhongtian should have fallen asleep already, so she didn't knock the door, and lightly Gently pushed the bedroom door open and tiptoed in.

"Who is it?"

A cold female voice came from the inner room, and Zhan Jin was so frightened that he almost gave up his sword.

"Zhan Jin? Why are you here so late?"

"Ma'am?" Zhan Jin squinted his eyes while holding the sword, and saw Ling Qiufan came out wearing a middle coat with the candlestick in his hand.Ling Qiufan has always been the most courteous person, even for an absolute confidant like himself and Lvchen, he will definitely wear a simple bun, put on a robe and come out, tonight this is not normal for one or two , Zhan Jin suddenly felt emotional.

"Madam, it's so late, you haven't rested yet."

Ling Qiufan put the candlestick aside, gathered his clothes, and used his hands to pull the black hair that was hanging on his shoulders, trying not to look too wanton, "I couldn't sleep, I heard the voice and thought it was the general, so I came out to have a look. "

Zhan Jin exhaled, and carefully placed the sword tassel and sword in his hand on the Arhat's bed while talking, "The general is still in the armory, he may be back very late, madam should go to bed early." He said, "If the general comes back soon and finds that his wife is still awake, he must be worried."

Ling Qiufan didn't respond to her words, but instead focused on the things Zhan Jinjin put down, "What is this?" She took a candle from the high platform next to her and walked up to illuminate Luohan's bed in a circle. Answered at the same time.

"Oh, madam, this is the sword that the general never leaves. The sword spike was unintentionally scattered by two servants just now... The general asked his subordinates to put it in the house, and she will repair it by herself later." Zhan Jin said again. Sighing, "Actually, I can't blame those two servants. This sword was left by the old master to the general. He has followed the old master for decades. The sword is a good sword, but how can Jiansui have such a long lifespan. Above The entangled rope has long been loose, and the two servants are just unlucky, so if they don't let go sooner or later, it will fall into their hands."

"Has the general lost his temper again?" Ling Qiufan asked after observing Zhan Jin's expression.

Zhan Jin originally didn't want to mention this to make his wife worry, but now that Ling Qiufan has seen it, he no longer hides it.After all, it is the most stupid performance to hide things in front of a person who is not weak in observation, sensitive and thoughtful.

Ling Qiufan pondered for a moment, then said: "You don't have to worry, I'll take a look later."

Hearing Ling Qiufan's words, Zhan Jin was startled and quickly persuaded: "Oh, ma'am, I can't help it. The general has a very special feeling for this sword tassel. This tassel should have been replaced long ago. When we first followed the general, we did not. I have tried to persuade you several times, but the general is very obsessed..."

"I understand." Ling Qiufan curled the corners of his mouth and comforted him: "I know it well, thank you for reminding me."

At this point, Zhan Jin couldn't say anything more, so he left the dormitory after saluting.If the general came back later and found out that Zhan Jin had lingered in the wife's room for a long time in the middle of the night, according to the stimulation the general received tonight, he might be able to wring her head off.

------------

Wei Yueyan returned to the dormitory exhausted all over, and when he entered the door, he kept his movements as light as possible, and when he closed the door and sat on the arhat bed outside, a thin layer of sweat broke out from his freshly bathed body.She wasn't in a hurry to see Jiansui's condition. When she was physically and mentally exhausted to a certain extent, things outside her body would not override her instincts to control her heart, and would only speed up the destruction of her spirit.

In fact, she knew very well what she was bothered about all day, not because there was a ghost planted by the court in the lieutenant this time, but because she was afraid that tonight would be the last night she could see Ling Qiufan.

She used to see those soldiers who were summoned to join the army not long after they were newlyweds. She knew better than any generals who enjoyed a generous military salary what it meant to be "poor bones by the Wuding River, like people in a girl's dream." Going out is a farewell preparation, no one knows when the invisible hand of fate will take your life away.

She is not afraid that she will face death, she is just afraid that her Qiu Fan will become a poor person like that old lady Xi.

Wei Yueyan lost her mother when she was very young. Although she knew how hard widowed women are, she had never seen them before.Knowing that she met Granny Xi that day, she and Ling Qiufan later brought her to the mansion to take care of her, and every time she passed that small room, she would see an elderly woman sitting on a wicker chair in the yard, staring at the sky with empty eyes, Holding a sachet of unknown age in her hand, shaking it again and again, the days of living alone are the same every day, as if she would not resist even if she were to die at this moment.

She didn't want Ling Qiufan to become like this, even though she knew that Ling Qiufan's affection for her was far from that deep.

Wei Yueyan laughed at herself, sat inside, and lit the candle to repair the tassel left by her father.Suddenly she frowned, brought the candle closer, and squinted her eyes to lift up the tassels. The golden silk thread was wrapped around the bright red tassels, as if it had never been unraveled and was always intact.

Wei Yueyan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly rushed into the inner room holding the tassels, and saw a lamp in the green gauze cabinet, like a bean, the light was not bright or dark, the golden toad spit out fragrant mist, and there was a figure sitting on the heavy curtain after.It's like wandering into a fairyland by mistake, seeing the immortal Gushe at first glance.
