Cannon fodder beauty master awakens

After Pei Xiangyun finished speaking, he added as if he was afraid that he would disagree: "I know you don't trust me, but isn't this the best choice right now?"

Jiang Yi took a deep look at him, and said neither good nor bad: "We'll talk about it when we go back."

The wing room that Shou Chen arranged for them was in the state capital, and under such an urgent situation, he was able to prepare all the fragrances and maids in the house, which was really difficult for him to flatter.

Looking at the row of five good-looking maidservants, Jiang Yi almost laughed angrily.

He waved his hand to let them go out, closed the door with a cold face, and then took off his outer robe and sat at the desk studying ink and writing with a pen.

Pei Xiangyun followed behind him and whispered, "Master..."

Jiang Yi ignored him, carefully finished writing the letter, and called the waiter outside, asking him to take it to the post station and send it back to Yandu as soon as possible.

After finishing all this, he raised his eyes and looked at Pei Xiangyun: "What did you just say?"

Pei Xiangyun said softly: "Students say that students are best at leading troops in battle. If Master can't find someone to be the leader, you might as well consider me."

The aroma in the room is too strong, which makes people feel a little headache.

Jiang Yi gently pressed his forehead: "You also know that I don't trust you."

"But I can assure you..." Pei Xiangyun said hurriedly, "I won't have second thoughts, I really want to help you."

"help me?"

There was no emotion in Jiang Yi's voice: "This is no joke."

"Guess why one or two of them run faster than anyone else? If this is a good job, they will definitely rush to do it. Right now this battle is not easy at all. It is not as simple as you think. It is not the same as in the previous life." the same."

Pei Xiangyun said softly: "How do you know if you haven't tried it? I..."

Just want to share your worries.

As long as I can help you, no matter how difficult it is, I am willing.

"Why?" Jiang Yi asked him, "Don't tell me the righteousness of the family and the country, I don't believe you understand this."

"I really don't understand."

Under the warm yellow candlelight, he suddenly had the illusion of gentleness in Pei Xiangyun's eyebrows.

"But I want to help you..." His voice was very soft, "Maybe I still can't understand everything you said, but I just want you to stop worrying, that's all."

Jiang Yi stared at him for a long while, "I won't forgive you, and you don't have to..."

"I'm not using this to threaten your forgiveness."

Pei Xiangyun lowered his eyes: "I'm stupid, so it's useless to stay by your side. Now that I finally got the chance to share Master's worries, how could I not seize this opportunity?"

"But if you are in danger, I won't save you..." Jiang Yi whispered, "You should also understand that I will definitely not choose you between the common people and you."

Pei Xiangyun's heart was unavoidably sour for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"I know, Master..." he said, "It doesn't matter, I did all this voluntarily, and there will be no complaints in life or death."

-

On the second day, the retreating Longxi Army ushered in the city.

The situation of the Longxi Army was much better than Jiang Yi thought, at least not everyone was seriously injured.Only a few were wounded, and most of the soldiers still retained their basic combat effectiveness.

Old General Zhang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, had a scar between his browbones, and his whole body exuded a sense of hostility. When he saw Jiang Yi, he softened a little, and before he got off his horse, he asked, "Have you found the defenders?"

Jiang Yi glanced at Pei Xiangyun: "My student volunteered to defend the city, but I couldn't stop him, so I stopped."

Zhang Rong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and patted Pei Xiangyun on the back: "My boy, I did not misread you that year!"

In fact, I was wrong.

He has been walking on the edge of the so-called "smooth road" for so many years, but if he doesn't pay attention once, he will completely fall into the same abyss as in his previous life.

"If Xiaowei Guan hadn't brought 1 people to support Ningbei, Longxi would have stopped them outside Yuzhou City."

Rong Zhang was still brooding over the withdrawal of troops, and cursed in a dirty manner first: "You bastard foreigners, it's hard to tell them to be arrogant once."

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Lieutenant Guan led troops to Ningbei? What happened to Ningbei?"

"It is said that there are large-scale horse bandits haunting, and there are a lot of people..." Zhang Rong said, "After receiving the letter, he left in a hurry."

Jiang Yi pressed him, "Have you read the letter..."

"Look..."

Zhang Rong sighed softly: "Lao Mei's youngest daughter had an accident in Yandu a few days ago, he was depressed for several days and couldn't even go home, it's really..."

"Was the letter written in his own hand?"

Zhang Rong looked at Jiang Yi with some doubts: "Why do you say that? Although I am a rough person, I can't even recognize the handwriting, right?"

I can't tell...

Jiang Yi remembered what Pei Xiangyun said about the "personal letter" that happened to be in his account in his previous life, but he didn't continue to think about it.

The two of them talked with the state shepherd of Yuzhou all afternoon, and carefully marked on the map the places outside Yuzhou where troops could be deployed.

Jiang Yi was pretentious, he hadn't had a good rest the night before, but now his nerves were tense, and his forehead was aching.

Although Zhang Rong was old, he was a military commander after all, with much better physical strength than him, and even had the time to ask the servant in the dining room to bring him two taels of liquor.

The dinner in the evening was made by the Chinese dining room of the state mansion. Perhaps because Jiang Yi scolded him the day before, he didn't spend extravagantly because of the arrival of a distinguished guest, and only set up a table of home-cooked food.

Rong Zhang opened the wine seal: "At this time three years ago, I went back to Xiangzhou and stayed for a while. The peach blossoms were in full bloom. I don't know if I can catch up after the fight this time."

Pei Xiangyun picked up the chopsticks and moved his hand, and said softly: "Is the general also from Xiangzhou?"

"That's right..." Zhang Rong smiled, "I went to Yandu with his father, his father went to catch the exam, and I went to join the army. Decades have passed in a flash."

Pei Xiangyun looked at him without blinking: "And then?"

"You're a weird kid."

Rong Zhang was a little surprised: "When I told Su'er these things in the past, Su'er would cover her ears and run away, but you are willing to listen."

The corners of Pei Xiangyun's lips were slightly raised, and he only said that he admired the old general's youthful demeanor, but in fact he was very clear about what he was thinking.

Perhaps it was because of the deep crimes he committed in his previous life. He went to Xiangzhou every year, but he couldn't see the peach blossoms every year. After repeating this four or five times, his heart was ashamed, and he no longer expected to see the April Fangfei in the world.

But now when Zhang Rong mentioned the past, he clearly never went to see the peach blossoms in Xiangzhou, but there seemed to be a burning mountain in front of his eyes, and his heart beat faster and faster, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

It's rare that someone is willing to be the listener of these old stories. Zhang Rong started talking, drunk and talked with Pei Xiangyun for a long time.

Until the drunkenness surged, the whole person leaned over the table, but still murmured something reluctantly.

"A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, Yan Ran is not reined in, and there is nothing to do... People can't sleep, and the general's white hair is crying for his husband."

Pei Xiangyun coughed lightly: "The general is drunk."

Jiang Yi didn't move his chopsticks much tonight, just propped his cheeks to listen to Zhang Rong's memories of the past, and occasionally interjected a word, feeling a rare peace in his heart.He called the servants waiting outside the room and asked them to bring the old general back to his room and settle him down.

The lights flickered, and there were only the two of them in the room.

"Actually, he is sad."

Jiang Yi said softly: "He has a high spirit. He has never fought such an aggrieved battle in the defense of Longxi for so many years, and this time it is true that there are some heavy casualties... He is very uncomfortable."

Pei Xiangyun rubbed the porcelain cup with his fingertips, and said softly after a while: "Master, I'm sorry for the general."

Jiang Yi pressed his knuckles to the end of his eyes, and raised his tone slightly: "Huh?"

"Did I in my previous life..."

Pei Xiangyun licked his lips, his voice became softer and softer: "Did I hurt him?"

In this life, he originally thought that he would also drift away from the crowd like the previous life, but he never thought that along the way, besides the teacher, he would gradually blend into the world of mortals and start to care about the feelings of others.

Without these experiences, he might also feel that the death of one or two Han generals has nothing to do with him.

But as long as he thought about how sad Zhang Su would be if Zhang Rong died, he would no longer be able to stand on the sidelines as indifferently as in his previous life.

Pei Xiangyun wondered in confusion, has he changed?

Is such a change okay?

He had never experienced such a feeling before, so he was extremely flustered and confused, as if he had more concerns behind him, and he had affection for everything in the world.

"You did harm him in your previous life..." Jiang Yi whispered, "Don't you remember? The Longxi barracks were annihilated because of your betrayal, and Zhang Rong died in battle. The general's wife, a general's wife, resolutely died in love, leaving only one Zhang Su, who just turned 12, was separated from his servants during the war, and his life and death are uncertain."

The porcelain cup in Pei Xiangyun's hand touched the rim with a "click": "I didn't know that at the time."

"Yeah, you don't know how many people you have killed. If you had always stood with the people of Uz, I would never scold you like this. But you were picked up by me and raised by me, but in the end there was nothing Stab me with guilt, and I won't forgive you until you die."

Jiang Yi chuckled: "You're sorry for Lu Yifeng and Zhang Rong, why don't you feel sorry for me?"

Pei Xiangyun raised his eyes suddenly, and caught the sadness that flashed in his eyes: "No, I don't think so."

What he is most sorry for is the teacher.

"Master, I have a lot to say to you..." He approached the man unconsciously, "But I know it's not the time to say it, so I'll tell you slowly after everything is over, okay?" good?"

Jiang Yi looked into his deep black eyes, neither said "yes" nor "no", but said softly: "It's late at night, go back and rest."

After he finished speaking, he got up to leave, but someone grabbed his sleeve: "Master..."

The wolf cub looked at him fixedly, he couldn't tell what emotion was in his eyes: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."

Jiang Yi gently pulled the sleeve away from his hand: "You should worry about yourself."

"If the city is not defended, you don't have to live." He said lightly.

"Then I kept it?"

Pei Xiangyun's eyes were very bright, and he asked him with some expectation: "If I hold on, can I go to see the peach blossoms in Xiangzhou with Master this year?"

Just like the promise we made, let's go to Xiangzhou to see the peach blossom together, is that okay?
