After the salted fish is married

92. Night out

Ji Tan played in Wenzhang Garden for a whole day, and he reluctantly left Wenzhang Garden until the rain stopped in the evening.When he left, he brought a large box full of meat rolls and a large bucket of lobsters that Yan Xining had prepared for him.

Ji Tan turned her head three times at a time: "Sister-in-law, I will come to you after I have memorized the essay requested by the Taifu."

Yan Xining frowned: "Okay, go back and study hard. Let your third brother tell me what you want to eat."

Seeing Ji Tan climbed into the carriage back to the palace, Yan Xining breathed a sigh of relief.Taking care of children is really tiring. Even though Ji Tan is very good, he still feels more tired than before.

He rubbed his sore shoulder and asked casually, "Has the lord not come back yet?" After going out in the morning, Ji Song didn't come back all day, which is rather strange.

Steward Leng stood behind Yan Xining with his hands down: "Report to the princess, the prince has already returned."

Yan Xining was a little surprised, Ji Song has come back?He didn't even know.But thinking of Ji Tan jumping up and down, Yan Xining understood what Ji Song did.Although Ji Song is Ji Tan's elder brother, he has nothing to say to Ji Tan.

After a pause, he asked, "Is he still busy?"

Butler Leng smiled and said: "I should be done with work at this point." Seeing Yan Xining turned around, he hurriedly said: "Princess, if the prince sees the concubine right now, he will be very happy."

Yan Xining raised her brows slightly: "Okay, I'll go and have a look." The guards and butlers in the palace seemed to be very happy to see him go to Ji Song, I don't know if this would make them happy.Anyway, there's nothing else going on now, so it's okay to go and have a look, not to mention he still has something to say to Ji Song.

Ji Song was not in the main hall, when Yan Xining found him, he was picking loquats with a long bamboo pole.The luxuriant loquat trees covered most of the courtyard. There were rockery and rocks in the courtyard before, but when I saw it this time, the landscaping in the courtyard turned into a flat grass.

Ji Song's wheelchair moved freely on the grass. After a day of rain, there was no water on the ground, but there was a lot of water on the loquat tree.He tapped the branch with a bamboo pole, and the bean-sized water droplets fell down.When the water droplets on the leaves stopped ticking, he raised the bamboo pole and stretched it towards the loquat branch on the branch.

The loquat branch was clamped in the bayonet in front of the bamboo pole, and it broke with a slight turn.A bunch of pure white loquats were easily picked by Ji Song and placed in a bamboo basket on the side. After picking a bunch, he continued to aim at the next target.

Yan Xining took a closer look, isn't this bamboo basket specially made by Wenzhang Garden to hold loquats?During this time, whenever he finished eating the loquat, new loquats would be delivered to him.Did Ji Song pick all the loquats he ate?

Steward Leng seemed to have seen through Yan Xining's doubts, and he said softly: "In the past, the loquats in the mansion would be sent to the palace as tributes to all the empresses, but after knowing that the princess loves loquats, the prince picked all the loquats from the tree by himself. Sent to Wenzhang Garden."

Yan Xining had mixed feelings in his heart, he stood quietly under the eaves and looked at Ji Song.Ji Song raised his head with a concentrated expression, the arc of his jaw was tense, and the corners of his lips were slightly straightened.Because of his upward movement, his sleeves slid down to reveal his sharply defined arms.Following his movements, strings of white jade loquats were gently placed in the bamboo basket.

Loquat is a kind of delicate fruit, and if it is slightly bumped, there will be ecchymosis on the peel.However, the loquat with ecchymosis will not be kept for so long.Even if he does it himself, there is no way to guarantee that every loquat fruit is intact.

But so far, every loquat he has eaten is extremely clean, and there is no trace of ecchymosis on it.At first he thought it was because of the superb craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the mansion, but now that he saw Ji Song picking loquats, he realized that what he ate was not superb skills, but careful treatment.

Apart from his parents, Ji Song is the third person who is willing to carefully pick loquats for him.It would be a lie to say that he was not moved, Yan Xining swore that from now on Ji Song would be one of his best friends in Chu Liao.

Yan Xining stood for a long time before Ji Song found him: "It's just in time. The freshly picked loquat tastes better than before." The more mature the loquat, the better the taste.

Ji Song didn't notice this detail before, and he didn't know which string tasted the best until he tried it himself.

Yan Xining walked down the corridor quickly: "Baiyu loquats are already sweet, and every bunch is delicious."

Ji Song leaned the bamboo pole in his hand against the fence, he lifted the bamboo basket and put it on his knees, then picked off a loquat and peeled the fruit carefully: "Xiaoqi is gone?"

Yan Xining pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly towards Wenzhang Garden: "Yeah, it's been a day of trouble. By the way, I have something to tell you. Xiao Qi said that he saw Blue Wind on a snowy day."

Ji Song shook his hand, and the half-peeled loquat rolled out of his hand and hit the ground heavily, smashing out a puddle of juice.When Yan Ke and the others escorted him to the capital last year, there was a rare heavy snowfall in the capital.Before that, there had been no snow in the capital for several years, and Ji Tan said that he had seen snow, it must have happened last year.

In other words, when he arrived in the capital, Xiao Ling was also in the capital.But where did Ji Tan see Blue Wind?

Ji Song's eyes were serious: "Did he say where he saw Cang Feng?"

Yan Xining comforted: "Xiaoqi doesn't remember, he said he will think about it hard, and if he thinks of it, he will tell us as soon as possible."

Ji Song nodded slightly and relaxed, then picked another loquat and peeled it carefully: "Children are forgetful, so what they say may not be taken seriously. But if he really remembers, maybe he can be of great help."

Yan Xining said softly: "I think so too. I think Xiao Qi doesn't see many people, if I can find out where Xiao Qi went when it snowed last year, maybe I can find out the news of Master Blue Wind. "

Ji Song replied, "Yes."

Yan Xining comforted: "Don't worry, as long as the master of Blue Wind is in the capital, he will definitely show his feet."

Ji Song just finished peeling a loquat fruit, and he handed the flesh to Yan Xining's lips: "Yes, as long as he is still around, he can't run far."

Yan Xining took the loquat and threw it into her mouth, the sweet juice immediately swept through her mouth.Coupled with the infiltration of rainwater, today's loquats are cooler and more refreshing than in the past: "Yes! Find him and ask him, and the matter will be revealed."

Ji Song said softly: "Ah Ning... I may be busy in the next period of time."

Yan Xining responded casually: "Well, you should focus on your business, and if you need me, just speak up." Although he is incapable of writing, he may not be able to help much.

Ji Song's eyes were gentle: "You don't need to do anything." As long as Yan Xining is by his side, he will feel more at ease.

In the next half month, Ji Song was indeed very busy, but Yan Xining felt that Ji Song's busy content had nothing to do with the errands of the Ministry of Industry.Because Ji Song always left work early, and then plunged into Fuliuyuan.

Ye Linfeng lived in Fuliuyuan, at first Yan Xining thought that Ji Song went to Fuliuyuan to heal his legs, but he soon realized something was wrong.He saw with his own eyes that carts of herbs were being delivered to the Fuliu courtyard, and the herbs were piled up into hills.

The taste of these herbs is completely different from those that Ye Linfeng worked on in Wenzhang Garden before. The taste of the previous ones was bitter, and he didn't want to eat after smelling it.And these herbs in Fuliuyuan have a faint herbal fragrance.As soon as he smelled it, he couldn't help but start to feel sleepy.

Because of the large amount of herbs, Ye Linfeng couldn't do it alone, so Ji Song sent the guards in the mansion to help.The guards covered their mouths and noses with cloth strips soaked in water. They were divided into two shifts and worked day and night.

Yan Xining felt that something was wrong just by taking a glance, because he saw murderous intent from the guards.Logically speaking, treating Ji Song's leg is a joyful thing, why are the big guards looking ferocious and murderous?

Moreover, Ye Linfeng's expression was not quite right. When he was tinkering with medicinal herbs in Wenzhang Garden, although he talked a lot, he was calm and relaxed.However, during this period of time when he was supervising the guards' manipulation of medicinal herbs, he always gritted his teeth angrily, and his attitude towards Ji Song became visibly visibly worse.

Those who didn't know thought that Ji Song owed him 80 million and hadn't paid it back.

Ten days later, the scent of grass and trees lingering in Fuliu Courtyard disappeared, along with most of the guards in the mansion and Ye Linfeng.The next day, Bai Tao carefully told him that when he got up last night, he saw guards wearing armor and holding torches in the corridor across the lake, and each of them was holding a wine jar in their hands.

Yan Xining told Bai Tao seriously that no one should say anything about this.He felt that Ji Song was doing something big, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.He believed that after the dust settled, Ji Song would tell him the whole story.

After a few days, Ji Song disappeared, and Yan Xining didn't see him after getting up, and he didn't see him after waiting all day.

Bai Tao looked at the dark courtyard: "Young master, don't wait, the prince may not come back for dinner today because of something."

Yan Xining pursed her lips, usually when Ji Song didn't come back for dinner, the butler would have to call, but today no one informed him.Seeing the food on the table gradually losing temperature, Yan Xining had no appetite: "You should eat first."

At night in early June, the wind is warm on the body.After Yan Xining strolled around the courtyard, she walked towards the Tingsong Tower.But Ji Song was not listening to Songlou, so he had no choice but to turn back.

Sitting under the eaves and looking at the lights on the eaves opposite the lake, he felt sour and couldn't tell what it was like.Since when did he get used to having an extra pair of chopsticks when eating?Get used to saying a few homely words with him every day.

In fact, Ji Song's not coming back is a good thing for him. Didn't he expect Ji Song to move away quickly?Isn't it just as he wants now?

But Ji Song suddenly didn't come back for dinner one day, but he found that he didn't even know where to send the food.

Yan Xining chuckled, he felt that Ji Song was the husband who went out to hang out after get off work and never came home, while he became the wife who cooked dinner at home and waited for her husband to come home.

This thought made him laugh dumbfounded, he rubbed his face: "What are you thinking? You already have a little time to lie flat, what other small plane do you want?"

93. Night trial

Liaoxia is the largest country in the northwest of Chu and Liaoxia. The people of Liaoxia grew up on horseback. They are good at grazing and raising fat and strong cattle and sheep, which can be sold for a good price in trade.However, they have the disadvantage of nomads - no arable land.

No arable land means no food, so when the harvest season comes, Liaoxia people will secretly enter the territory of Chu and Liao to burn, kill and loot.In the past hundreds of years, every year Liaoxia survived the cold winter and thrived by relying on the grain they plundered.

But not this year.Ever since Liaoxia soldiers ambushed the third prince of Chu and Liao, Ji Song, in the frontier, the Chiling Army has gone crazy.

It stands to reason that Liaoxia soldiers have an absolute advantage in winter combat. Their horses are stronger and they are more familiar with the surrounding environment... However, after several battles, the red-eyed Chiling Army killed several Liaoxia generals in succession.

In previous years, the Chiling Army would still keep prisoners of war, but this year, no one was left alive wherever they went.They withdrew after the fight, neither staying nor looting, and several tribes in Liaoxia were wiped out in a few months.

If this continues, the Chiling Army will point their finger at Liaoxia King's Capital sooner or later.Heerba, the leader of Liaoxia, was discouraged, so he hurriedly asked his eldest son and general Mo Le to come to Chuliao to discuss peace.

Mo Le held back his anger, and since the day he left the capital, he has not stopped cursing: "A group of cowards, the Chu Liao people are a little bit more powerful, and they will be scared out of their wits. They are silent, drinking the fine wine I took from me, sleeping on the woman I took captive, and now we are overwhelmed by Chiling Army, they are going to send me to embarrass myself!"

There were all kinds of swear words mixed in, and the guards outside the tent were used to it.But Mo Le cannot be blamed for this. Now the leader of Liaoxia, Herba, is old, and his three sons are fighting openly and secretly for the position of leader.If you don't discuss and fight for Liaoxia's breathing opportunity, I'm afraid that Liaoxia will completely collapse due to internal and external troubles.

As the main envoy of this peace negotiation, Dunba only sneered after hearing Mo Le's scolding: "Idiot."

This peace negotiation is very important. If it goes well, he will reach an armistice agreement with Chu Liao.When he returns to the capital, he will be the next Khan.How could that brainless Moller know his strategy?In exchange for Chu Liao to calm down his anger with Mo Le, this transaction is worthwhile.

Dunba took a big gulp of water and wine: "Huo Tu never dreamed that I would cut off his right arm and right arm like this. They will never understand that governing a country never depends on bravery, but strategy."

The beauties rushed over from left to right: "Your Highness is wise and mighty, you are right."

Dunba put down his wine glass and hugged them, the smell of wine gushed out of his mouth, he was drunk: "Changjiaguan is ahead, after passing Changjiaguan, it is not far from the capital of Chu and Liao. I heard that the kings of Chu and Liao are prosperous and prosperous. This king will take you around the beautiful scenery of the capital."

The beauties giggled: "The capital of Chu and Liao is full of beauties, don't let the beauties of Chu and Liao fool you when the prince is gone."

Dunba's hand touched Meiji's soft and slender waist: "How could it be? Chu Liao's beauties are as docile as sheep, and this king is a wolf, so naturally he likes beauties who are as fierce as she-wolves!"

Seeing that Dunba was about to roll with the Meijis again, at this moment Meiji let out a "beep", and they passed out before they could say anything.Dunba was taken aback and just about to shout out, when he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside the dental tent.

Dunba drew out his long knife and rushed out of the dental tent, but before he opened the curtain, his eyes went dark, his feet softened, and he fell straight forward like a wooden stick.

Not long after Dunba fell down, the curtain of the dental tent was lifted, and the visitor was dressed in Liaoxia's service, covering his mouth and nose with a wet towel.The leader was Yan Ke, and when he saw Dunba lying on the ground, Yan Ke was very excited: "Your medicine, Doctor Ye, is really powerful. There are so many people, and you completely knocked them down so quickly."

A tall and thin figure flashed behind Yan Ke: "Of course, you don't want to see who prepared the medicine."

Although his face was covered, he knew who it was when he heard the old voice.Ye Linfeng was really worried about these little bastards, they were carrying medicine that could bring down more than 2000 people, if they made a slight mistake, they would be the ones who were brought down.So Ye Linfeng followed them to Changjia Pass, stood on the upper hand and sprinkled the medicine prepared for more than ten days with his own hands.

A few days ago he was busy refining medicine, and these days he was traveling all day and night, Ye Linfeng's eyes were dark and dark.He glanced at Dunba with disgust: "Who is this? He looks really ugly."

Yan Ke took out the long knife by his side. If it didn't cause the two countries to go to war with the knife, he would definitely stab Dunba in the heart: "This turtle grandson is the heart of the three sons of Herba. The one with the most sons, it will be no good to keep him."

Ye Linfeng said casually: "Then what are you waiting for? Keep him for the New Year? Stab him to death."

Yan Ke had a bitter face: "Do you think I don't want to? But the master said, only Mo Le will be arrested, and everyone else will be let go."

Ye Linfeng said leisurely, "Then is there Mo Le here?"

Yan Ke looked around: "No."

Ye Linfeng raised his foot and kicked: "Without Mo Le, why are you dawdling here? This medicine is only for a quarter of an hour!"

Yan Ke bared his teeth and ran away with his head in his arms: "Senior, don't hit me, I'll go find it." Fortunately, there are not many tooth tents in the mission. Since there is no Mole in this tooth tent, there must be some in the other two tooth tents. he.

Seeing Yan Ke slipping out of the tent, Ye Linfeng squatted down and pulled the braids on the back of Dunba's head in disgust: "What kind of braids do big men have? It's so ugly." As soon as the words fell, Dunba's two braids left the back of his head.

After scolding Dunba for a while, Mo Le finally calmed down. During this time, no matter how much he abused Dunba, he ignored him, which made him a little frustrated.Because of this, he and Dunba did not deal with each other.

He turned around in the tent, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.Just as he was about to take a sip of the water and wine, the smell of green grass entered his nostrils faintly.Moller sniffled: "Where's the grass?"

Then his eyes went dark, his body softened and he fell unconscious.

When he woke up again, he was hungry.His hands and feet were restrained, and a black cloth was covered in front of his eyes. Mo Le wanted to swear, but something was stuffed in his mouth, and he could only make a meaningless "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

He didn't know where he was or how long he had been locked up.When he heard footsteps in his ears, he shook his limbs and struggled violently.

Finally someone pulled out what was in his mouth. Mo Le moved his jaw and cursed: "I am Mo Le, the general who protects the country of Liaoxia! How dare this little thief attack me!"

Mo Le scolded a lot of dirty words in Liaoxia dialect, but no one around him paid any attention to him.After a while, he heard the sound of wheels rolling, and at the same time someone roughly tore off the black cloth in front of him.

The stars were flying in front of Mo Le's eyes, and he had never felt the sun so dazzling.When his vision returned to clarity, his pupils shrank violently: "Ji Rongchuan! It's you!"

Ji Song nodded slightly: "Long time no see. General Mo Le, I have invited you here to ask you something."

Mo Le chuckled, and looked at Ji Song's legs mockingly: "So the rumors are true, and Ji Rongchuan, the mighty God of War in Chu and Liao Dynasties, has become a useless person. You also have today, cool! It's so cool!"

Hearing this, Yan Ke and the guards burst out with anger: "What did you say?!"

Ji Song raised his hand to stop them: "This king wants to ask, did you instigate the cronies around you to attack me during the Shizihe battle that day?"

Mo Le said disdainfully: "Our Liaoxia army has strict discipline, and my cronies will of course listen to me."

Ji Song was not in a hurry: "Then let me ask you, how did you know that I would appear in Shizi River that day?"

Mo Le's eyes were contemptuous: "Why should I tell you that you are just a defeated general. I advise you to let me go obediently. This time I am an envoy for peace negotiations. Liao Xia came to Chu Liao with sincerity, but the envoy was rejected by Chu Liao. The person detained, the rumor will definitely make you look good."

The guards drew their swords out of their sheaths in anger, but Ji Song's lips twitched slightly, and he unhurriedly drew out his bow and arrows with his backhand: "General Mo Le, you got two things wrong."

The sharp arrow was set on the bowstring by Ji Song, and as Ji Song spoke, the bowstring was pulled away a little bit: "The first thing is that when the two countries have been fighting for a long time, the two sides sent missions to reach an agreement, which is called peace. Among them When one side puts down face and goes to another country to beg for a truce, this is not peace negotiation, it is begging for mercy. Only the loser will beg for mercy."

Mo Le was so angry that a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat: "You!"

Ji Song continued to speak slowly: "The second thing, what happened to the Liaoxia mission has nothing to do with me. I'm just a disabled person recuperating in the capital, and your peace mission is still hundreds of miles away."

After saying this, the bowstring in Ji Song's hand was fully drawn, and Ji Song slightly adjusted the direction of the bow and arrow, aiming at Mo Le's left leg: "Who saw this king kidnap you?"

Looking at Sen Leng's arrow, Mo Le panicked: "You, how dare you!"

Ji Song smiled slightly: "Why don't I dare?"

After the Liaoxia people captured the soldiers of Chu and Liao, they tortured them [-] times, so why should he be kind to the generals of the enemy country?

Ji Song let go of the bowstring, and the vibrato of the bowstring did not stop, and Mo Le's screams had already rang out: "Ah!!" A series of cursing followed, but most of them were in Liaoxia dialect, and the people present couldn't hear it well. very clear.

The feather arrow pierced Moller's thigh bone, and Moller's left leg drooped in a strange posture. He couldn't control his body and fell down, but the iron chains on his arms bound him tightly.

Mo Le's eyes flickered, and he wanted to faint, but even this humble wish could not be fulfilled.He didn't know what Ji Song's people smelled to him, but his chaotic mind came back to life.

He panted heavily, this time he finally learned to look around.This sight made him feel cold, and he found himself in a room without windows, which looked like a dark room.If there is no one to rescue him, he will never be able to escape for the rest of his life.

Ji Song drew out the feathered arrow again: "General Moller, since I couldn't stand up, my temper is very different from before. I don't have that much patience now, so I ask again: how did you know that I would appear in the Shizihe?"

Mo Le was still struggling: "I am the General Protector of Liaoxia! How dare you treat me like this!"

Ji Song smiled slightly, his eyes filled with coldness.After the bowstring trembled, Mo Le's right leg was broken by a feathered arrow, and he almost passed out with a scream.However, there was another choking smell in his mouth and nose, and Mo Le could only wake up with a rough pant.

His legs were all broken, and the severe pain made him sweat, and his clothes were drenched in a short while.His legs were unable to support his body, his arms were turned blue and purple by the iron rope, and his chest hurt so badly that he couldn't breathe.

Since his birth, when did Moller taste this kind of taste?He was always the only one who inflicted violence on others, but when it was his turn, he couldn't bear it for a quarter of an hour.

Ji Song drew the feathered arrow again: "Can you answer me now?"

Mo Le's face was pale, and his hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his face.At this moment, he really wanted to maintain his integrity as a soldier and the majesty of his great general protecting the country, but the words he blurted out fully expressed his fear and fear at this moment: "It is my confidant, Tutland, who can say that you are For the exact information from the army, you will appear in Shizihe!"

Ji Song's eyes were like knives: "How do you determine whether the news is reliable?"

Mo Le's voice was hoarse: "Totland said that the news was passed on by the spies buried long ago by our Second Highness, there is no mistake!"

Ji Song breathed a little faster: "What is the spy's name?"

Mo Le couldn't help crying: "I don't know, just a spy, how could I know his name. We ambushed you in the Shizi River that day, and our whole army was overjoyed. How could you care so much! You killed Come on, don't torture me!"

The light in Ji Song's eyes dimmed, and a faint disappointment appeared in his eyes: "The last question, is Totland one of your cronies, and is he among the peace negotiators this time?"

Moller was in so much pain that he whimpered: "No, Totland stayed in the army, he didn't come."

The smile on Ji Song's lips disappeared completely, and the longbow in his hand was drawn into a full moon again.Moller panicked: "I told you everything I know! You don't believe what you say! You are despicable!"

There was the sound of the bowstring trembling, and Mo Le felt severe pain in every part of his body, and he passed out with a scream.

Ji Song's eyes were cold, and he slowly put the feathered arrow between his fingers back into the quiver: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, don't you understand this truth?" His feathered arrow is very precious, and he has to save it for the next interrogation.

Yan Ke mocked: "Hey, return to the general who protects the country. It only took two arrows to get all of them." He was poured with pepper water back then, and he survived several rounds anyway.

Putting the longbow back behind him, Ji Song felt a wave of fatigue sweeping over his body. He whispered to the guards, "Let the brothers rest well. Watch him and don't let him die."

Yan Ke and the others clasped their fists together: "Yes! Master."

Ji Song's nose was lingering with the lingering smell of blood, and in the enclosed space, this smell made him sick.He doesn't want to stay here, he wants to go home.
