You worship me, I will soar

The four of them stopped when they walked to the crowded market. The border gate was close to the barbarians and Xixia, and the things they sold were very distinctive. Ye Xixi was unconsciously attracted and couldn't stop watching. They watched with gusto, and it was the first time they went out for a walk after they came to the border.

"Eh..."

A woman wearing ragged and old clothes accidentally bumped into Li Yang, and hurriedly lowered her head to apologize: "My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

Li Yang helped her politely, and said nonchalantly, "No problem."

The woman seemed to be in a hurry, so she apologized a few more times, and left in a hurry.

Ye Xixi saw her in a mess, so she couldn't help asking: "Why is she dressed in such shabby clothes?"

Li Yang sneered: "This is the border gate, there are constant wars, and there are many refugees fleeing into the city. Do you think everyone is as ignorant of the sufferings of the world as you are?"

It was only then that Ye Xixi realized that there were many refugees and beggars around. He was used to seeing prosperity in the capital, but this was the first time he saw such poor people. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable and didn't speak.

He didn't refute, but Li Yang gave him a strange look.

The four said they were out to survey the terrain, but they walked around for a long time unconsciously, and finally climbed up to Chongqi Mountain until noon.

Ye Xixi turned left and right on the mountain a few times to carefully observe the terrain on the opposite side of the mountain. The terrain was just as the spy said, and there was nothing wrong. Ye Xixi felt that she might be thinking too much.

Chongqi Mountain was indeed very high as Xu Ling said, and several people were tired after climbing up the mountain. Li Yang and two other soldiers sat on a smooth boulder to rest.

The breeze on the mountain blows away the heat of midsummer, and the scenery in the distance is so beautiful that Ye Xixi can't help but look up.

As a result, Ye Xixi finally noticed the abnormality after sweeping his eyes. The place Ye Xixi felt weird looked from the front as a small road sandwiched between two mountains, but from this angle, he found that there was a place on the side that could hide thousands of people. If the enemy army ambushes there, it will definitely kill our army by surprise.

Ye Xixi thought about it, there might be something wrong with the spy, and he didn't say anything about such a dangerous position.

With a serious face, he stared there for a long time.

Li Yang noticed, followed his gaze, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Ye Xixi withdrew his gaze and shook his head lightly. He had to go back and tell Ye Wangxi to make a decision on this matter. He kept quiet for now. He rubbed his hungry belly and asked, "Do you have any silver taels?"

When he was at home, the money bag was always placed with the boy, and he just bought it at the front, and the boy paid the bill at the back, so he never had the habit of carrying a money bag, and it was only now that he remembered that he didn't bring a money bag.

Li Yang gave him a disgusted look, and curled his lips: "I brought the money bag."

Ye Xixi rubbed her nose, a little embarrassed: "I'll pay you back when I get back... I'm treating you today."

After talking, the four of them went down the mountain, and Ye Xixi led them straight into the most gorgeous looking restaurant, and said boldly: "I'm treating guests, you can eat whatever you want."

Li Yang raised his eyebrows: "I'll pay, you treat?"

"...I will pay you back."

Ye Xixi finished muttering softly, coughed, and called Xiao Er to order a table of dishes. The four of them were all hungry, so they just buried their heads in eating, and swept away the table of dishes.

After drinking and eating, he sat down to eat, and then summoned the waiter to pay the bill, but Li Yang stretched his hand into his arms to dig out, his face changed, and he dug carefully again, paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "... The purse is lost."

Everyone was shocked, and at the same time thought of the woman who bumped into him before.

Li Yang asked the two soldiers: "Have you brought any money?"

The two soldiers took out their money bags, and the sum of one piece was only two taels, not even half of the meal money.

Seeing this, Xiao Er became anxious: "Are you trying to get free food?"

A little soldier was also anxious: "We are soldiers, how could we eat you for nothing?"

Xiao Er snorted: "Then you guys should pay, even soldiers have to pay!"

As Xiao Er spoke, he yelled, drawing the big guy's attention, and the owner of the restaurant also ran over: "What's the matter?"

As soon as Xiao Er told him about the matter, he immediately called the nursing home with a dark face and stopped several people.

Li Yang blushed: "You let me go back to the barracks to get it, and they stay here."

Ye Xixi glared at him: "Why don't you stay here?"

The boss's face was ugly: "How long have you been here and back, and the restaurant has already closed when you come back, so I don't care if you have another dinner."

Li Yang frowned: "Then what do you say?"

The boss couldn't think of a way for a while, Ye Xixi thought about it, and suddenly said: "Can I pay you a picture for the payment?"

Xiao Er laughed disdainfully: "Your broken painting is worth the good wine and food on this table? Are you dreaming?"

The boss raised his hand to stop him, and said to Ye Xixi: "Draw first, I'll take a look."

Ye Xixi nodded, the boss sent someone to send a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and everyone around came to watch Ye Xixi paint.

Ye Xixi's movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, done in one go.

The boss frowned at first, but unknowingly his brows widened, and in the end, surprise even flashed in his eyes.

After a while, the brushwork gradually took shape. In the picture, a carp rises vertically on the river surface, which is really lifelike.

The boss is a person who knows how to paint, and his eyes light up when he looks at the painting.

Although Li Yang and the two little soldiers didn't know how to draw, they could see that the carp was alive, and everyone around them were amazed.

A little soldier couldn't help sighing, "Why is this just like being alive?"

Ye Xixi finished the last stroke, took out her seal and stamped it on the bottom of the painting, then smiled triumphantly, spread out the scroll, and said, "How about the carp jumping over the dragon's gate?"

The boss was very satisfied, and couldn't help but praise: "Good!"

During the border wars, literati seldom came. The boss was very pleasantly surprised to get such a painting.

"Will it pay for the food and drink?"

The boss smiled and said repeatedly: "It's worth it! It's worth it!"

Ye Xixi was in a good mood, and re-wrote a plaque for the boss. Not only did he draw well, but he also wrote good calligraphy. Compared with Ye Xixi's calligraphy, the restaurant's previous signboard was really horrible. The boss immediately Someone changed it.

The boss was very satisfied and gave a series of thanks. Not only did he waive the previous food and drink fee, he also gave away a lot of food and drinks, and also gave Ye Xixi some silver taels, and sent several people out of the restaurant along the way.

Li Yang and the other two soldiers looked dumbfounded, and one of them was full of admiration: "Young Master Ye, you are too good. The money you earn now is enough for my family's expenses for a year."

Ye Xixi waved her hands nonchalantly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Li Yang looked at him smiling like a peacock with its tail open, and it was the first time that he didn't feel disgusted. This Ye Xixi's personality is as annoying as his appearance is attractive. What's more, after getting in touch with him, he doesn't seem to be that annoying. .

Ye Xixi gave the purse to Li Yang, pretending to be casual and said, "Make up for the money you lost today."

He knew that Li Yang's family was not rich.

Li Yang refused immediately without thinking: "No need."

"You lost your purse because you came out with me. I should compensate you."

Li Yang still refused: "It was my own carelessness, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ye Xixi frowned slightly: "If you didn't come out with me, you wouldn't be targeted by that woman. Hurry up, don't be a big man."

Li Yang was silent for a moment, took out some and returned it to Ye Xixi, leaving only a small amount: "There are not so many taels in the money bag, these are enough."

Ye Xixi nodded, without arguing with him, she casually distributed the rest of the silver to the refugees and beggars around, and took the food back.

When they returned to the barracks, Ye Xixi dug out pig's trotters and beef from the things they brought back, and the rest made a fuss at the three of them: "Take the rest away, share it with the big guys, I don't want it anymore .”

The two soldiers immediately looked at the pile of things in surprise. There was still a lot of food and wine there: "Is it really for us?"

Ye Xixi gave a soft "hmm".

One of the soldiers suddenly lowered his head guiltily, and said, "Master Ye, I was wrong before, I shouldn't have talked about you behind my back."

Another soldier also apologized: "We were wrong."

Ye Xixi waved her hand nonchalantly, and left with her trotters and beef in her arms. The military rations are running low recently. Even General Ye Wangxi hasn’t eaten delicious food for a long time. Ye Xixi is full of satisfaction and only thinks about tonight and Ye Xixi Wang Xi ate a good meal, not in the mood to listen to their apologies.

Li Yang looked at his walking figure, his eyes flickered, he opened his mouth and said nothing after all.

Ye Xixi happily walked in with the delicious food in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw Ye Wangxi holding Yingfeng with a dark face, not knowing where she was going.
