Chapter 167

Caisang let the soldier who sent the letter into the courtyard: "my brother is working hard. Come in and have a cup of tea and some snacks. The princess also wants to inquire about the general's situation. "

Murong Zhining returns to the courtyard with the letter and sits down on the chair. She hurriedly took the hairpin to open the wax seal on the envelope and took out the neatly folded letter paper. The letter paper is surrounded by exquisite watermark patterns, sending out a light floral fragrance. Murong Zhining laments the delicate thoughts and romantic feelings of chiyun Yuexuan.

Murong Zhining, with a smile on her lips, looked down at the lines of running script on the paper, and said in a low voice with an expression: "Ning'er, my wife: she left her beloved wife for several days, but fell ill with acacia. Taste the delicacies of yaochi, sleep on the jade pillow of Lantian instead of sleeping. Playing the piano and the sound is disordered, holding the brocade and the quilt is colder. I sigh for my husband that acacia is the most bitter in the world, and parting is the worst! Every time I remember Ning'er's smile, it seems like years. Ning'er, what I want from my heart, from my feelings, from my dreams, from my soul. If you want to tell lovesickness to the strings, they will be solemn and sad. But teach the fish and wild geese to spread their love. The fish can't bear the weight of the ruler and dive, and the wild geese can't bear the weight of the brocade book and fall. Thousands of words, to say still rest! Only wish there would be no more wars in the world. I would like to hold my son's hands and carry him to Haoshou. F: xuanzi. "

Murong Zhining pastes the letter paper on her chest with crimson face. A tear rolls down her cheeks and onto her lapel.

Yang suo'er stuffed a white handkerchief into Murong Zhining's hand: "suo'er has no culture and doesn't know a lot of big words, but listening to the princess reading the general's family letter, he can feel the general's deep love for the princess. The princess must have been moved by the sweet words in the general's letter. Suo'er really envies the princess. She has both a beautiful appearance like a fairy and a brilliant and exquisite heart. The general is a rare love in the world. Only the general is worthy of the princess. "

Murong Zhining said with a smile: "where is this sweet talk? This is clearly full of bitterness. But this is the most moving love words Ning'er has ever heard. "

Caisang brought a big vase with all kinds of well cut wild flowers in it. Caisang smiled and put the vase on the stone table beside Murong Zhining: "I asked the messenger to eat and rest in the room. I saw that in order to complete the general's task, he came to Chongde without stopping. He was exhausted. This is a wild flower picked by the general himself. It has not been rubbed at all. It looks like it was just picked. The general also picked a big bag of monkey dates for the princess. He must be thinking about the princess's love for sugar gourd. I'll boil a pot of sugar juice and make a plate of sugar hawthorn for the princess. "

Yang suo'er said with a smile, "it turns out that Hawthorn has such an interesting name? It's called monkey jujube. Suo'er also likes sugar gourd. My family used to be poor. My father was reluctant to buy it for suo'er, so he bought the old farmer and sold the rest of the monkey dates. He made sugar gourd for suo'er himself Suo'er still remembers how he bent over and cooked maltose carefully The sugar gourd made by my father is the best thing that suo'er has eaten. " Yang suo'er choked.

Murong Zhining gently grasps Yang suo'er's hand: "all the people in the world are just passers-by, doomed to get together in a hurry. Suo'er just needs to keep his father in mind. Man's body is only a temporary place for the soul to live in. To abandon it must be a better place for the soul. If you are destined, you can be his daughter in the afterlife. He just changed a place to exist, silently waiting for the next life, and then to be your father. "

Yang suo'er nodded his head desperately: "in fact, after so many years of hard work, his father was already overburdened. He kept it from suo'er, but suo'er knew that he was seriously ill. In order to take care of suo'er, he is struggling to support My father has suffered all his life, but he hasn't had a good day. He saved a little money and was reluctant to take it to buy medicine. He said he would leave it to suo'er for dowry He is out of the sea of misery, and suo'er shouldn't be sad. "

Murong Zhining pulls Yang suo'er to sit beside her and gently wipes her tears: "suo'er, do you know? I really envy you. I was taken away from my father and mother when I was young. I didn't enjoy my parents' love until I grew up. Even if my father and mother can give me thousands of prosperity, they can not make up for my missing childhood. Suo'er, you are really happy. You have such a good father and such a good childhood memory. "

Picking mulberry to a plate of sugar hawthorn, gently put on the stone table: "princess, come to taste the honey fruit made by picking mulberry. By the way, what's in the general's letter? What happened to the broken city? The general also brought me a letter, which only contained a dozen words: all is well, take good care of the princess, take good care of yourself, don't read it. They are all people who want to be friends with each other. Look at general chiyun's mind Suo'er, you can also taste the sugar hawthorn

Murong Zhining's eyes brightened: "Wow, picking mulberry, the sugar Hawthorn you made, red and gorgeous, the sugar coating wrapped outside, crystal clear like glass, looks very attractive. Well, it's much better than the candied gourd bought on the street. " Murong Zhining stabbed a sugar hawthorn with a sharpened bamboo stick and handed it to Yang suo'er: "suo'er, would you like to taste it too, to see if there's any dad who makes it delicious?"

In Yang suo'er's eyes, he was surprised in tears: "sister Caisang, the sugar Hawthorn you made is so delicious. It's better than my father's. Our family is poor and has no money to buy sesame seeds. Those with sesame seeds are more fragrant. "

Murong Zhining nodded her head: "well, it's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious Hawthorn before! Picking mulberry, if we don't have a meal, we'll make sugar hawthorn and sell it. You do it. I take it to the streets. The signboard is the general's invincible sugar gourd. "Caisang laughed and said: "the princess thinks it's delicious, because the fruit was picked by the general himself. The princess ate in her mouth, full of the general's love. If the princess wants to sell sugar gourd, the business must be so good that he can't say anything. If the general just goes to pick monkey dates, he will be dead tired on the mountain. "

Murong Zhining happily ate hawthorn, and suddenly silence: "general chiyun and the general didn't mention the siege in the letter. There must be something wrong with it. There must be something wrong with it. Caisang, you call the soldier who sent the letter. I'll ask him. "

Caisang nodded: "he's resting for a while, and he should be breathing slowly. I asked him just now. He didn't say anything. I'll call him now. "

The soldier stood in front of Murong Zhining with prudence: "Princess Qi, the little one is specially responsible for delivering letters and intelligence, and is not on duty beside the general, so he knows little about the situation in the barracks. I'm going to leave now. The general has told me. After delivering the letter, I'll hurry back to reply. I can't stay. "

Murong Zhining smiled: "you sit for a while, have a cup of tea and have some snacks. I'm going to write back to the general. "

Murong Zhining finds a piece of pink paper in the study, asks Caisang to study the ink, and answers a letter to chiyun Yuexuan.

Murong Zhining handed the envelope to the soldier who sent the letter, and handed him a new embroidered silk handkerchief: "please give this to the general, that is, I embroidered it for him. By the way, how many miles is it to the general's garrison? How long does it take to ride? "

The soldier replied, "it's more than 200 Li. I rode out in the early morning and came here nonstop. It took me five hours. If it's a carriage, I'm afraid it'll take a day or two. Princess, I'm leaving now. The general is waiting for my life to be restored! "

Chiyun Yuexuan is standing in the camp, staring at the city sand table on the desk. Wu Siyuan is standing beside him, both of them are frowning. Around the sand table, a dozen generals, big and small, were surrounded.

Chiding Yun Yuexuan was silent for a moment and said: "the general does not agree with the strong attack. With our troops, although the city can be broken within two days after the strong attack, the general never kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred. I have been waiting for five or six days, and I don't care how many days I have to wait. That Tan Zhenqing, this general understands him most, again sleeps on him a few days, he certainly cannot sink gas, disordered square inch

Wusi said: "at the end of the day, he will also know that the general's strategy is to seek stability and minimize his own casualties. However, in Yongning City, the land is barren and the people are poor. The food and grass provided by the army can last for five days at most. As the general also knows, several counties around here are not rich, and we can't get food at all. If we don't break the city as soon as possible, I'm afraid it's not tan Zhenqing, but we ourselves. "

"The most hateful thing is that Tan Zhenqing cheated the grain stored in the nearby counties into Yongning city before the festival change. General Ben estimated that the food in his hand was enough for him to fight for half a year. I don't know how many troops there are in this city. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. If you want to win Yongning, at least I will lose tens of thousands of soldiers. No, my general's achievements in war have never been earned by the withered bones. Let me think about it again. There must be a plan to break the city with the least loss. "

Wu Siyuan frowned: "or, ask the princess for a plan to try? The general said that the princess had a lot of tricks

Chiyun Yuexuan shook his head: "I don't want to save face for myself, general? Let the princess break the city again, isn't this general disgraceful? It's not that our general is headstrong. The fire attack method is feasible. But there are many close friends of our general under Tan thief. They are also intimidated by Tan thief. If we break the city by force, how many brothers have we hurt? The general wanted to burn his food and let him surrender himself, but he didn't want to hurt the soldiers and their families in the city. Let me think about it again, general. We have enough food and grass in Fuling pass. Fuling is only a hundred miles away from here. Food and grass are basically guaranteed. "

Wu Siyuan said with a smile: "it was a very serious thing, but at the end of the day he would not smile kindly. The general is so affectable that he is afraid that the princess will steal your limelight. "

Chiyun Yuexuan said with a smile: "xiaowuzi, you don't know what it's like to have a stronger lady than yourself? Last time I broke the city of Wuzhou, you were not there. My little lady took the city down without any effort. If general Ben let her steal the limelight again, he will only look up to her for the rest of his life. You can step back. I'll think about it in the evening. You should have faith in our general. Don't be discouraged. Go back. "

Chiu Yun Yuexuan sent all the people away and sat at the desk and said to himself, "Ning'er, I miss you so much! I'm so contradictory. I want you to give me some advice for me. I'm afraid you'll make me lose face. Alas, I miss my little lady so much. Why hasn't the messenger come back? I'm so worried about this general... "

Chiyun Yuexuan is frowning. There is a bodyguard report outside the tent: "the soldier who sent the letter to his wife came back."
