Yunqi Jiangxin

Since Rong Xun left the palace at the age of nine and went to the army, all he heard and saw was war all day long, and when he went out occasionally, it was mostly like the two days before, seeing how difficult the people's livelihood was, and feeling guilty and suffering.

This time, after repelling Chi Xi severely, and meeting Zhang Bei again, he felt better. Only then did he realize that the early spring beyond the Great Wall is actually a large piece of beautiful scenery. Seeing greenery everywhere, the spring breeze is loose, Zhang Bei has a youthful and mad attitude, Ren Ma'er trotted, with a pair of eyes drifting over from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would get lost, he couldn't help but become more happy, thinking that he would accompany this curious little brother to find a treasure and have fun.

Seeing Rong Xun relaxed, Zhang Beidi ran to his side with an expression of "I want to chat, but I'm afraid of offending the prince".Rong Xun couldn't help laughing, and asked first, "Where is the ancestral home of Shaodong's family?"

Zhang Bei Yile, "You let me call you Brother Rong, but you still call yourself Young Master?"

"...Then what should I call you? Zhang Bei? Or your name?"

"The next word is Mujiang, that's what my mother called me when she was alive."

When Rong Xun heard this, he didn't expect the two to be so similar in life, so he said in a bit of shock, "I don't want to remind you of your sadness." Seeing his concerned expression, Zhang Bei said lightly, "It's okay, my mother has been gone for many years, and I will Gradually forget, Brother Rong doesn't need to blame himself."

Only then did Rong Xun let go of his uneasiness, and continued to chat: "Where did Mu Jiang's ancestral home come from?"

"Ganzhou, Dasheng is to the south, has Brother Rong been there?"

"No, but speaking of it, I've always heard that people in the south are as delicate as jade carvings, and I thought they must be weak. Then I slowly changed my mind. Now that I see Mujiang, I realize that I was completely wrong."

"...It turns out that Brother Rong also judges people by their appearance."

"Haha, yes, I didn't know until a few soldiers from Jiangnan, who usually look amiable and immature, are more ruthless than those from outside the pass. "

"Why don't people say Southern Barbarians, right?"

"No, no, no, he is a real warrior!" Rong Xun said with a smile, "If the people in Jiangnan are so brave, Dasheng must last for a thousand years without any problem."

It was an unintentional statement, but Rong Xun somehow remembered what Zhang Bei said that day, and asked, "Mujiang, you came from the south, can you see the current situation in the south? Are the people still happy?"

Zhang Bei thought for a while, and said: "There are some floods, Brother Rong is at ease to defend against the enemy, the court is already governing."

Rong Xun nodded, looked at Zhang Bei sternly and said, "Mujiang can go back this time and serve his father with peace of mind. I will definitely keep Dasheng safe and not let your father worry about your safety."

Zhang Bei's eyes darkened, he lowered his head, then suddenly raised his head to look in front of him after a while, and said, "Brother Rong, does that look like a piece of wormwood?"

Rong Xun nodded, looked around and saw the silence around, and walked to the pile of wormwood first, and the others also got off their horses and looked around.

After a while, Zhang Bei saw a shallow hole dug by someone in a hidden corner. There seemed to be a dark burden in the hole. He got down on the ground without hesitation, and stretched out his hand to explore it.

Rong Xun was also watching him digging with curiosity, but when he heard something, he stood up and blurted out, "Watch out for the northwest direction!" The accompanying soldiers immediately put their hands on the swords around their waists.

Zhang Bei immediately stood up with his hands back, and looked northwest. Sure enough, he saw a small group of people hiding in the grass in the distance, next to a tree that was not too big or small, but the grass in early spring could not hide them. Realizing that Rong Xun had seen him, two people simply stood up, talking to each other in low voices, the atmosphere froze for a while, and swords were on the verge of breaking out.

"Your Highness, there are about ten of them. They are Chixi's clothes, but their appearance and appearance don't look like those of the Chixi tribe." A soldier with excellent eyesight approached Rong Xun and said in a low voice.

Rong Xun observed for a while, then nodded: "They have horses, swords and arrows, I think they are more like bandits." Rong Xun tilted his head back, and said to Zhang Bei who had been standing behind him: "Get on your hands in a while, you and Lai Sheng immediately get on your horse and run to the city."

"...Brother Rong plans to fight them?"

"No, they are fully equipped. Although we can win these people, I am worried that they have support not far away."

"I don't think they are easy to get along with." Zhang Bei said softly. Rong Xun saw that he was very observant at a young age, and thought that if Big Brother Shi was here, he would try his best to keep him as a soldier. Thinking of this, I felt a little happy in my heart, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, you won't be afraid if you try hard, but I think they must also be afraid that we have support behind us, so it's better to make them suspicious of us."

Zhang Bei didn't understand Rong Xun's meaning for a while, he saw Rong Xun suddenly got on his horse and took a few steps towards those people, looking quite provocative.Only then did he suddenly realize that he turned around and untied a delicate hard bow from his own horse, got on the horse and walked to Rong Xun's side, raised his hand and put on the bow, and an arrow roared out, shooting straight into the tree trunk where the other party was standing.

As expected, the other party was vaguely disturbed, Zhang Bei looked at Rong Xun, and said, "I'm not good at aiming. I heard that Brother Rong is very good at archery. Show them your skills, and you will surely scare them away."

Rong Xun knew that Zhang Bei wanted him to kill the other party alone, and made it clear that he was provoking and luring the enemy, so he didn't speak, but he didn't shoot the bow again.This time, the other party seemed to have fallen for the trick, a man who looked like a leader waved at his accomplice, and ran away with the men.

Rong Xun drew his bow and did not dismount. He turned his head and told a soldier, "Go back to the city as soon as possible to report the situation, and ask Chen Rushan to strengthen the patrol outside the city tonight. I will be back later."

The soldiers took orders to go, Rong Xun looked at Zhang Bei, and said gently: "Look, the outside of the city is not as safe as you think, get on your horse and follow me back."

Lai Sheng led the horse in a panic, but Zhang Bei dismounted suddenly, lay down again, and immediately pulled out a dark bundle from under the haystack. When he opened it, it turned out to be a few pieces of silver ingots wrapped in oiled paper. He chuckled lightly. Standing on the horse, he threw the burden skin back and forth into his arms, and raised the silver ingot in front of Rong Xun, saying: "Thank you, Brother Rong, for saving your life. I promised that the baby will be returned to Brother Rong, why don't Brother Rong treat me to dinner tomorrow?" !"

Rong Xun Yile: "Yes, yes, the money is mine, how to spend it is up to you." Then he said: "Just now you shot an arrow, you look like a practicing family, I didn't expect you to be good at bows and arrows."

Seeing Rong Xun looking at his bow, Zhang Bei untied it with a laugh and handed it to him, asking, "Why didn't Brother Rong just kill a rogue?" Most of them were forced by the war, not all of them were evildoers."

While talking, he took the bow and arrow, examined it carefully, and found that it was a high-quality recurve compound bow. The bow body did not have any decorations, but it showed a simple and simple atmosphere. He could not help but praise: "Good bow!" He turned his head again Looking at the silent Zhang Bei, he praised: "Good skill."

Then Zhang Bei said: "I have been fond of this since I was a child. My father hired a master to teach it. In the past two days in the city, I heard that Brother Rong is the best bow and arrow. Prince Akanishi's eyebrows are taken from someone's head without going forward, I really want to see it with my own eyes."

"It's not that amazing, it's just a coincidence. If you practice hard for another two years, I'm afraid you will be better than me." Zhang Bei laughed, put away his money, and said, "I really want to go to that battlefield with Brother Rong and fight side by side once."

Rong Xun smiled, but he thought in his heart that fighting side by side is of course heroic, but the last thing he wanted was for the flames of war to spread, and Zhang Bei, who was originally living and working in peace and contentment, had to go to the battlefield.

The two were talking, and they had arrived outside the city not long after.Shi Chuanhai had already galloped over on his horse from a distance, and was obviously relieved when he saw Rong Xun, and asked repeatedly if there was a fight or if there was any injury.

Rong Xun answered repeatedly that there was no fight, no injuries, and he turned back to ask the soldiers to nod their heads to testify. Shi Chuanhai then gave up, and turned his head to start educating Zhang Bei.

Since Zhang Bei saw Shi Chuanhai's worried look just now, he knew that he might have gotten into trouble, so he didn't speak any more, and listened quietly, but he couldn't stop apologizing from the sidelines, which could be regarded as turning things off.

On the second day, Rong Xun dragged Shi Chuanhai to practice with Zhang Bei—when he knew that this meal was Zhang Bei's last meal in Bianzhou, Rong Xun fell silent for a moment, and when he came to the army himself, I have never seen anyone younger than myself, and secondly, I have seen Zhang Beilu's good archery skills, and I want to learn from them twice.

Seeing his depressed appearance, Shi Chuanhai kept bringing food to Rong Xun while talking to Zhang Bei.Zhang Bei probably seldom parted, didn't know what to say, and ate the dishes casually.It wasn't until the end of the meeting that Rong Xun was asked if he could write a letter. Rong Xun nodded quickly, then frowned and said, "Of course I can, but the letters in the army are complicated and sometimes they are lost..."

Zhang Bei smiled and said, "It's okay. There is a firm in Bianzhou that we have regular contact with. I will send the letter together with the firm's documents, and then I will ask them to forward the letter so that it will not be lost."

After dinner, Rong Xun sent Zhang Beilai to the ferry in the south of the city, and said goodbye for a long time.

Zhang Bei got on the boat and lifted the anchor. Rong Xun watched the boat move, waved his hand before turning and leaving.

On the boat, Zhang Bei kept looking at Rong Xun's back until he could no longer see it. Lai Sheng suddenly walked over and handed him something, which was the dark furoshi that wrapped the silver ingots the day before.

"Young master, the six princes are as careful as dust, yesterday..."

Zhang Bei turned his head and glanced at Lai Sheng. There was no trace of childishness on his face. Lai Sheng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This subordinate has overstepped."

Zhang Bei took the furoshiki, and Lai Sheng had already cut the extra part. The small side in his hand could feel the strangeness of the interlayer when he squeezed it carefully.He walked into the cabin and didn't speak again.

When Rong Xun returned to the barracks, he saw a row of carriages with the flag of Renxintang. The military doctor had already counted the medicinal materials, and he was obviously very satisfied with the quantity and quality of the medicinal materials.

More than two months later, three small boats with the banner of "Renxintang" docked at Bianzhou Ferry, and soon, several carts of medicinal materials were delivered to the Dasheng Military Camp.Rong Xun looked at the letter he just got in his hand, the corners of his lips naturally smiled, and the smile grew stronger.
