After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

During these two months, Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu have not been idle. From time to time, they will send some soldiers to the city to harass them. Most of the time, they just stay in their tents and do nothing. Are you planning something.

For this reason, Huyan Yangxia, the city guard general of Chongping County, also took the initiative to send troops to test many times, or tried to break through, but they were basically blocked in the end.

The two sides went back and forth and tried to stalemate for more than two months.

During this period, Qi Zizhen also received several letters from Ning Qingwei.

The first time was not long after arriving in Chongping County, Ning Qingwei wrote to say that the first battle report had spread to the capital, but several officials under Guan Wang's influence impeached them for privately mobilizing troops.

However, Emperor Hongchu's response to this matter adhered to his usual Buddhist style, and he said casually, "I will not accept the order of the emperor outside", and taking back Fengshu County was regarded as making up for it.

Emperor Hongchu didn't announce the matter of the tiger talisman, obviously because he was afraid of King Guan's current power, fearing that King Guan would be wary of him because of this.

The second letter was not many days after the first letter, and the general content was that the attack on their valley had also spread to the capital.

This time Guan Wang did not use the method of direct impeachment, but asked an official of the Ministry of War to report the situation of the attack, but the report emphasized the loss of troops.

Emperor Hongchu didn't seem to care too much about it, and like a loving father, he jumped out a few good words from the official, and praised Song Yaoxu, who is the prince, for his good reaction ability.

Ning Qingwei paid special attention to Guan Wang's expression in the court hall, guessing that he should have vaguely felt something was wrong.

For this reason, he avoided Guan Wang's eyeliner and went to find Emperor Hongchu again in private, and decided that in the future, if there was anything unfavorable to Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu in the court, he would first come forward to defend, so as not to prevent Guan Wang Premature detection.

After the second letter, before the third letter came, Qi Zizhen heard that the Southwest General of Wumeng had taken action.

The general who was expelled from Fengshu County by Tang Leyuan had previously returned to Southwest Town, where the Southwest General of Wumeng Kingdom was stationed, and the Southwest General who had been standing still in July gave him [-] troops to station in Lingchao and Wumeng country borders.

But after that, they didn't see any actions. After discussing with Song Yaoxu, Qi Zizhen decided to ignore them for the time being and concentrate on solving the immediate matter first.

In addition to the news from the capital and the southwest town of Wumeng, Qi Zizhen and Tang Leyuan also had several correspondences, and each time Tang Leyuan was either fighting or on his way to a fight.

Tang Leyuan wandered all the way in the border cities of Wumeng Kingdom, plundered by surprise and then ran away. It can be said that there is no shortage of military rations, water sources and soldiers. It is not that Mongolia has never done this kind of thing to the Ling Dynasty border before.

After two and a half months, Tang Leyuan and the others wandered around four or five cities, and his reputation gradually spread in Wumeng.

No one can figure out the rules of his fights, so most of the cities on the border have begun to take precautions, fearing that this "lunatic" from the Ling Dynasty will appear in their own cities in the next moment.

On August 23th in the [-]rd year of Hongchu, Qi Zizhen released a bird near the forest, and when he turned around and returned to the tent area, he saw Wei Lingshen carrying a new letter to the commander's tent.

During the period when they were stationed, Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu often shared the same camp on the grounds of discussing plans, and most of the time they were in the commander's tent.

Over time, Wei Lingshen also got used to looking for someone first directly at the handsome account.

This time what Wei Lingshen brought was the third letter from Ning Qingwei, more than a month had passed since the last time, Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu almost couldn't wait to take it apart and read it.

Compared with the previous two times, which mentioned the affairs in the court, the content of this letter is slightly different. It involves Qi Zishan's initiative to ask Ning Qingwei for feedback.

According to Qi Zishan's description, it seems that King Guan and Song Jiqi have started to conspire since the last time King Guan asked the people from the Ministry of War to report the attack on their valley.

And because Song Jiqi still trusts him quite a bit, Song Jiqi seldom avoids him in the previous conspiracies, and sometimes even uses his identity to do so, but this time the situation is different.

Guan Wang and Song Jiqi seemed to be hiding from him and plotting something else.

Qi Zishan was able to ensure that his identity as an undercover agent had not been exposed, and according to his secret observations, the number of King Guan and Song Jiqi going out together or going out alone increased a lot, obviously something happened.

Regarding this, Ning Qingwei also dedicated his mind and time to observe, and found that Song Jiqi was still hanging out with a group of cynical dudes, while Guan Wang often went in and out of the prime minister's mansion.

Qi Zishan is the second son of the prime minister's mansion, and Song Jiqi and Guan Wang deliberately avoided him, so the conspiracy this time is very likely to be related to the prime minister's mansion.

Just in case Ning Qingwei did not inform Qi Zishan of this matter, he only mentioned it in detail in the letter sent to Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu.

So far, Qi Zizhen is still the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion, and the original prime minister Qi Yuan's attitude towards Guan Wang's lineage is to wait and see.

From this superficial point of view, it can be speculated that King Guan might want to win over the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but why did he keep Qi Zishan out?If you really just want to win over, Qi Zishan is the best breakthrough.

Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu couldn't figure out what Guan Wang wanted to do for a while, and after thinking for a while, Qi Zizhen wrote a reply letter. The contents of the letter first included their recent situation, and then they could only trouble Ning Qing about Guan Wang. Wei pays more attention for now.

After writing the reply, Qi Zizhen dried the ink on the letter paper, then folded it neatly and put it in the envelope, and handed it to Wei Lingshen very solemnly.

Wei Lingshen was used to his sense of ritual, and after receiving the letter, he suddenly remembered something, took out another letter and said: "By the way, the friend who delivered the letter said that this one must be delivered in person. In Xiaozhen's hands, even His Highness can't take it for him."

The envelope he took out was not much different from the previous ones, except that a small pattern was drawn with a cinnabar pen on the outside of the envelope, which looked like a bowl.

Seeing the small pattern, Qi Zizhen coughed lightly against Song Yaoxu's curious eyes, took the envelope calmly and thanked him.

After completing the task, Wei Lingshen didn't stay any longer, and left the camp after saying goodbye.

Qi Zizhen was afraid that Song Yaoxu would be curious about the contents of the letter, so he also pretended to resign calmly.

Song Yaoxu looked at his obviously uncomfortable appearance, laughed lightly after a while, rubbed his head and joked: "Zizhen and the national teacher have a little secret, I'm so sad."

"I can't see it at all." Qi Zizhen muttered, but he didn't avoid Song Yaoxu's hand stretching out to his head.

Fortunately, Song Yaoxu was not that inquisitive person, so he smiled again and stopped asking, and let him go back to his tent to read private messages.

After Qi Zizhen simply took his leave, he strode back to his camp, sat at the table and solemnly opened the letter, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was reading some confidential documents.

Then he began to look carefully, and the first thing he saw was the title specially capitalized and bolded by the National Teacher-"Detailed Explanation of the Making Guide of Longevity Noodles".

The following content is the detailed method of longevity noodles, from the preparation of raw materials to kneading and cooking of noodles, and even how to set up a pot and light a fire under marching conditions.

At first glance, it seemed that he even wanted to fly over and teach him every step.

At the end of the letter, Ning Qingwei specially attached a few words, to the effect that a peace talisman was attached to the letter as a gift to His Highness, wishing His Highness a safe 23-year-old birthday.

Qi Zizhen pinched the peace talisman poured out of the envelope with a little reluctance, but finally decided that if he could really make a bowl of longevity noodles, it would be Song Yaoxu.Give him the peace charm before the poison test.

According to their original plan, they will officially attack Chongping County within two days. If something goes wrong with the coach at this time, he can't afford it.

The time of this letter arrived coincidentally, today is actually Song Yaoxu's birthday.

He carefully read all the procedures and methods, and took the various raw materials and pots and pans brought by the friend who sent the letter to Wei Lingshen before, and went to a small hidden space behind his camp. Follow the steps and try a little bit.

Then he tried it, and he tried it until it was close to dinner time.

Qi Zizhen squatted on the ground and looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him that had become a lump of noodles without any appearance. He wanted to pick up a branch and draw circles on the spot.

Just in case, he actually asked Wei Lingshen's friend to bring enough raw materials to make three servings of noodles, but now it took him a whole day to make this one serving, and the result was still so dismal.

Qi Zizhen was very sad, so sad that Song Yaoxu didn't even want to make a sound when looking for him. He squatted on the spot and hugged his knees, stretching out his hands to pick off all the weeds within his sight.

Like an abandoned child, no matter how you look at it, how pitiful it is.

When Song Yaoxu came all the way, what he saw was the messy appearance of him squatting on the ground, surrounded by broken grass and scattered flour pots and pans.

He couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but stepped forward and squatted beside him and asked, "What is Zizhen going to do?"

Qi Zizhen was still holding a piece of grass in his hand, and said quietly: "I made noodles, but I failed."

Hearing his words, Song Yaoxu happened to see the white batter-like thing in front of him that night, wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to say it tactfully, and finally simply shifted the topic to his motives.

"Why didn't Zizhen want to eat noodles with me? I'll do it."

He raised his hand and rubbed Qi Zizhen's head, and after thinking about it, he swallowed back the sentence "don't ruin your stomach like this".

Then he got up and sorted out the remaining ingredients beside Qi Zizhen, guessing that he could just make two more, scooped up a ladle of water and washed his hands, then asked, "What kind of noodles does Zizhen want to make?"

Qi Zizhen looked up at him, and said sullenly, "Longevity noodles."

Song Yaoxu froze for a moment, turned his head and saw Qi Zizhen's cheeks bulging slightly, looking very depressed.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he asked unconsciously, "Zizhen knows that today is my birthday?"

In the Ling Dynasty, longevity noodles were basically made only on birthdays, and Song Yaoxu’s birthday was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-], usually to show the prince’s closeness to the people. Previously, his birthday was postponed by one day to spend with the people during the Mid-Autumn Festival. .

It can be said that apart from himself and the national teacher who has all the birth dates of the royal family, no one should remember that his real birthday is on August [-]th.

Seeing his expression, Qi Zizhen nodded and said, "I happened to see it once when I was helping the national teacher sort out the history books in the national teacher's tower, so I wrote it down."

After speaking, he fell into gloom again, and continued: "I obviously followed the steps that the national teacher said, and I don't know why the result still failed. Your Highness treated me very well before, so I also want to try to be able to do it." Do something for His Majesty."

Hearing his faint tone, Song Yaoxu paused for a long time before going back to squat down in front of him with a chuckle, met his clear eyes, bent his eyes and smiled: "Zizhen has done a lot for me, It's up to me to tell you that.

"Doing food is one of the few things I can do for you, so don't compete with me."

He raised his hand and gently pinched Qi Zizhen's cheek, the smile in his eyes was gentle and dazzling.

Qi Zizhen was dazed for a moment, and when he raised his head again, he saw that Song Yaoxu had skillfully started scooping up the flour for kneading.

Compared with his careful and hurried work all day today, Song Yaoxu's movements are as smooth and beautiful as flowing clouds and flowing water, and every step seems to be familiar by heart.

Qi Zizhen unknowingly stared at him as he finished the two bowls of hot longevity noodles, and at the end, he didn't forget to break some chopped green onions and sprinkle them on as a garnish.

The light longevity noodles were still steaming, and the aroma from the noodles made Qi Zizhen's stomach growl.

Song Yaoxu laughed softly, and after cleaning up the messy ground, he said softly: "Okay, let's go inside and eat, starving for too long is not good for your health."

After speaking, he went straight back to Qi Zizhen's tent with two bowls of noodles.

Qi Zizhen, who had been squatting for a long time, felt a little numb in his feet. After a while, he hurriedly followed, and the gloom before was swept away.

Obviously there is a Highness who is so good at cooking, and if he uses longevity noodles as a gift, it is not a trick, why do he abuse his hands and Song Yaoxu's stomach like this.

Sure enough, it is more suitable for him to sit and wait to eat.

Qi Zizhen, who was used to taking care of him, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. After walking into the tent, he sat down to eat noodles with Song Yaoxu with peace of mind.

The hot noodles were eaten together with the soup, which immediately relieved his physical and mental exhaustion from the whole day.

His stomach was full, and his brain also became flexible, and he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, His Highness is good at cooking, and I am good at music, why don't I play a song as a birthday present for His Highness?"

Song Yaoxu naturally would not refuse him, and nodded with a smile.

Then Qi Zizhen found his bamboo flute, and found a piece of rice paper to compose a short piece of music impromptu.

After he roughly had a score in his mind, he began to play it slowly.

A melodious and soft tone slowly flowed out from the bamboo flute. To keep on guard, Qi Zizhen was still wearing military armor. The soft warm light shone on the armor, as if blending with the tone in a trance.

The gentle music is clear and clear, like a clear and sweet spring water, refreshingly sweet, softly enveloping everything.It is also like the sunshine in spring, warm and dazzling but not too hot.

Just like Song Yaoxu himself gave Qi Zizhen the feeling.

Coming from the spring day, melting the wind and snow, crushing the ice and cold, gently holding his hand and telling him that there is still a thriving life waiting for him.

Qi Zizhen couldn't compose a complete piece of music in a short period of time, Qi Zizhen just played a short section, and when he raised his head again, he saw a lot of heads talking at the door of the tent at some point, all with tears in their eyes.

He was a little confused, then turned his head to look at Song Yaoxu, and saw that Song Yaoxu's eyes were full of distress.

Qi Zizhen: "...?"

Could it be that he was seriously injured while playing a tune, or got a terminal illness?
