Chapter 707 The complaints of several recruits
Xi Yu didn't say much anymore, and the two of them fell into silence again, and the air around them seemed to become a little solemn.
After a while, Cao Rui seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Xi Yu, opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak but stopped. Xi Yu noticed his strangeness, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What?"
Cao Rui hesitated for a moment, finally shook his head and said softly: "Nothing."
After Xi Yu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. He turned around and said with a smile: "Cao Rui, I wish you a prosperous business."
After hearing this, Cao Rui's face first showed a hint of surprise, and then was occupied by a complicated expression.
His lips trembled slightly, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, as if thousands of words were blocking his throat, and he was at a loss for a moment.
Cao Rui stood there blankly, staring at Xi Yu's back as he gradually walked away, and nostalgia and gratitude appeared in his eyes.
He thought silently in his heart: "This blessing is too heavy, too heavy..."
It was not until Xi Yu's figure disappeared from the end of his sight that Cao Rui slowly withdrew his gaze and sighed deeply.
On the other hand, a new day has arrived quietly.
Zhao Yun woke up from his sleep and suddenly felt uncomfortable as if he was gnawing by millions of ants. His brows were furrowed, his face was pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down his forehead.
At this moment, the little girl hurriedly appeared beside him with medicine and said crisply: "Zhao Yun, the lady said it very clearly yesterday. You must apply the antidote on time. This is for you."
Zhao Yun grinned in pain at this moment, and had no time to say anything. He quickly grabbed the medicine bowl and raised his head to drink the antidote. After drinking it, his body couldn't stop trembling, and soon he began to sweat, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water.
Next, Zhao Yun could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and cursed: "That Mrs. Hua Yue is simply crazy!" His voice trembled with anger, and his eyes were full of resentment.
When the little girl heard this, she just sneered and didn't talk to each other.
After a while, Mrs. Hua Yue actually came here in person.
When Zhao Yun saw her, he was like a ignited explosive barrel and insulted again: "You vicious woman, if you do such a despicable thing, you will be punished!"
Mrs. Hua Yue's face darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she soon returned to calm and looked at Zhao Yun coldly.
Mrs. Hua Yue said coldly: "Today I will send someone to report the information to Xi Yu and ask Xi Yu to get the money as soon as possible."
When Zhao Yun heard this, he sneered and said, "The Prime Minister was not in Youzhou at all, but went overseas. Even if he found someone to report the information, it would be useless."
Mrs. Hua Yue was stunned at first, then said, "There is no hurry, I will continue to care about your money for food. Then I will ask Xi Yu twice as much as possible."
After saying that, she burst into laughter, her laughter sharply and harshly, as if it was about to penetrate human eardrums.
After laughing, she mocked Zhao Yun again: "If you think a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, Zhao Yun, why don't you commit suicide? Why don't you have the courage?"
Zhao Yun was so angry that his face turned pale, his eyes were looking at her fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You woman with a scorpion heart, don't be arrogant, one day you will get retribution!"
Mrs. Hua Yue glanced at Zhao Yun contemptuously, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, just with your current appearance, you still dare to speak wildly? Wait for the money to be redeemed by Xi Yu."
Zhao Yun clenched his fists tightly, and the blue veins on his arm burst out, and he roared: "Don't be too proud, the Prime Minister will definitely not let you go!"
Mrs. Hua Yue didn't care, twisted her waist and turned away, and said as she walked, "Then I'll wait and see who doesn't let anyone go."
Zhao Yun looked at her far away back and sweared in his heart that if he had the chance to escape, he would definitely make this vicious woman pay the price.
The flames of anger and indomitableness burned in his eyes, and he could only endure it secretly and wait for the turn of opportunity to come.
On the other side, Tuoba Yu had been living in the old man's house. After several days of time and night, she gradually learned that the old man's name was Wan Henghua.
Tuoba Yu said with a heart of sorrow: "Uncle Wan, I really hope to recover my memory as soon as possible and figure out my life experience."
The old man looked at her lovingly and comforted her: "Child, you don't have to worry about this, just live here with peace of mind. I will treat you like my biological daughter."
After saying this, the old man couldn't help but sighed long, his eyes became distant and sad, and he slowly said, "Oh, my miserable daughter is no longer alive. If she is still alive, she should be the same age as you."
Next, the old man's eyes flushed and tears rolled down. He sobbed like a child, muttering his daughter's name.
When Tuoba Yu saw this scene, she felt very unbearable. She gently held the old man's hand and comforted her softly: "Uncle Wan, don't be too sad. The deceased is gone. I will always be with you in the future."
Her eyes were filled with concern and sympathy, and her voice was as soft as the spring breeze.
After hearing Tuoba Yu's comfort, the old man's mood eased a little, but he still choked and said, "Child, you are such a caring person."
Tuoba Yu continued to comfort the old man, handed him a handkerchief, and stayed patiently by his side until the old man's mood gradually calmed down.
Xi Yu came to the temple again, and his brows frowned and his steps were a little heavy.
I kept thinking about a question: Tuoba Yu is gone, should he mobilize someone to search for it?
But later I thought about it carefully, if the other party really hid on purpose, even if he sent someone to find it hard, what effect would it have?
When he came to the Buddhist temple unknowingly, he saw Ouyang Linlin chanting Buddha's name quietly.
He couldn't help laughing, and saw Ouyang Linlin's face was quiet, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was muttering something, and she looked very enjoyable.
Xi Yu walked into the Buddhist temple lightly, afraid of disturbing Ouyang Linlin.
He stood quietly aside, looking at Ouyang Linlin's pious appearance, and the annoyance in his heart disappeared a little.
After a while, Ouyang Linlin slowly opened her eyes and saw Xi Yu standing there, a smile of surprise appeared on her face, and said, "Why are you here?"
Xi Yu walked forward and replied with a smile: "I came here unknowingly. Seeing that you were so focused, I didn't make a sound."
Ouyang Linlin stood up, gently brushed away the dust on her body, and said, "Just just chanting Buddha's name, my heart was particularly calm, as if all the troubles in the world were gone."
Xi Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "From your appearance, it really means being transcendent to the world."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a peaceful atmosphere filled the Buddhist temple.
Next, Xi Yu frowned slightly, with a very strange expression on his face, and asked in confusion: "Didn't Xiaohong accompany you to chant Buddha's name? Why didn't you see her?"
Ouyang Linlin shook her head gently, raised her lips, and said helplessly: "That girl Xiaohong can't stand it at all. After reading a few words, she muttered back to her room."
After hearing this, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "This little girl is still so impatient."
Ouyang Linlin responded with a chuckling: "She is by nature lively. It is really embarrassing her to sit here quietly and recite the Buddha's name."
The two of them talked about Xiaohong, and the atmosphere in the Buddhist temple became more relaxed and pleasant.
Then, Xi Yu smiled and said to Ouyang Linlin, "Then I won't bother you anymore. You continue, I'll go back to the room first." After that, he turned around and left.
On the other hand, Chachatu received news that after the efforts of the soldiers, many new soldiers have appeared.
Although many new soldiers were forced and reluctant, the situation now forced to train.
After receiving this news, he was very happy. His originally frown brows stretched out instantly, his lips raised, and he laughed loudly: "Haha, that's great! In this way, our strength will greatly increase!"
Then, his willful gaze became greedy, and he continued to call on several imperial concubines and continued to carry out the lewd and extremely happy things.
Several imperial concubines rushed over with a look of flattery or helplessness on their faces.
Chachatu lay on the couch, and took one of the imperial concubines into his arms, and started to tease him freely.
At this time, outside the court, a loyal old minister was so angry that he stamped his feet and said anxiously: "If this continues, the country will not be a country!"
However, Chachatu completely ignored the opinions of the outside world and was still immersed in his extravagant pleasure.
On the training ground, the newly enlisted soldiers were all frowning and complaining in private."
What's this? We were forced to come, what kind of combat effectiveness can we have?" a soldier said indignantly.
"Oh, there's no way, let's wait first and see what's going on." Another soldier sighed helplessly.
At this time, the general in charge of training came over and shouted loudly: "Everyone is cheering me up. Who dares to be lazy? Military law will deal with it!" The soldiers had to cheer up and continue training.
In the training ground, although the soldiers were unwilling to do so, the training was still underway.
A young and energetic recruit was whipped by the general for irregular movements. He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger and reluctance.
At the same time, Chachatu's absurd behavior in the palace continues.
Several imperial concubines were beside him and forced to smile, but their hearts were filled with fear and disgust.
Some upright ministers in the court gathered together and discussed countermeasures with concern.
A minister said heavily: "If this continues, the country will be in danger. We must find a way to persuade Your Majesty."
Another minister shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty now does not listen to the loyal advice and rash advice, just because he will cause trouble."
Everyone fell into silence, the atmosphere was depressing and heavy.
In the camp far away, the beaten recruit quietly conspired with several companions. He lowered his voice and said, "You can't live like this. We have to find a way to get rid of this predicament. Even if the border is strictly investigated, we have to find a way. We can't wait for death here in vain."
A slightly timid companion looked embarrassed and said in a trembling voice: "But if you are caught, it will be a dead end!"
The recruit stared at him and said sternly: "You are willing to be treated as a pawn here and be at the mercy of others? Maybe one day you will die on the battlefield and not even have a complete body."
Everyone was silent, and they were struggling and struggling in their hearts.
After a while, another companion lowered his voice and said, "Or why we should observe secretly first, look for opportunities and loopholes, and then make plans."
Everyone nodded, thinking that this might be the safest way at present.
The recruit clenched his fists and secretly vowed that he would find a chance to escape.
Xianbei.
On that day, Hong Gang came to Tuoba Tianlong with a serious expression.
He observed in secret without hesitation, and saw that Tuoba Tianlong's complexion was indeed a little bad, which was obviously inseparable from the medicines he took.
However, if you don't look carefully, it will be difficult for ordinary people to notice.
Hong Gang bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Chief, I propose to organize a hunting activity, which can exercise everyone's skills and add some supplies to the tribe."
When Tuoba Tianlong heard this, he showed a very satisfied expression on his face. He waved his hand and said heroically: "Okay! Since that's the case, then I'll call on everyone to hunt together tomorrow!"
When Hong Gang heard Tuoba Tianlong's decision, an extremely excited smile suddenly burst out on his face, and an excited light flashed in his eyes. He quickly bowed and bowed, his tone full of gratitude: "Thank you, the leader! The leader is wise!"
Tuoba Tianlong nodded slightly and said with a majestic expression: "Go, go and tell everyone, and then be prepared."
Hong Gang saluted again and responded: "Yes, leader! I'll do it now!"
When he turned and retreated, his steps seemed particularly light, and he secretly thought about how to tell everyone the good news and how to carefully prepare for the hunting activity so that it can proceed smoothly.
Hong Gang was in a hurry and soon told many people about the hunting.
When everyone heard this news, their faces were filled with joy and cheered.
After completing the task, Hong Gang returned to his tent.
He sat leisurely on the chair, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, the smile on his face became brighter and irrepressible excitement in his eyes.
He thought to himself with smugness: "Haha, Tuoba Tianlong, this idiot, doesn't know that his life is coming soon. In the near future, he will die of poison, and all this will be under my control."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, the laughter was filled with insidiousness and greed.
On the other side, Xi Yu returned to the guest room and saw Xiaohong standing there slightly crampedly.
As soon as Xiaohong saw Xi Yu, she immediately bowed to Xi Yu respectfully, lowered her head, and said timidly: "Prime Minister, I really don't want to chant Buddha's name there. I don't have that perseverance. I hope the Prime Minister will not blame him."
After saying that, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Xi Yu's face, feeling uneasy.
Xi Yu looked at Xiaohong gently, with a comforting smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. This thing is about fate and cannot be forced. How could I blame you?" But he thought in his heart that this little girl was honest.
After hearing this, Xiaohong finally fell to the ground. She raised her head, a grateful smile appeared on her face, and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister for being magnanimous."
Xi Yu sat down, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he stared at Xiaohong carefully. His focused eyes made Xiaohong feel incredible, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Xi Yu suddenly asked, "Xiaohong, you are at the age of getting married. Are there any men you like?"
Xiaohong's face turned red with a "swish" and like a ripe apple. She lowered her head, fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her hands restlessly, and said coquettishly: "Prime Minister, why did you suddenly ask such a question? It's so embarrassing!"
But in my heart, I felt like a deer bumping into a mess, and I was in a panic.
Seeing this, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be shy, I'm just caring about you."
Xiaohong raised her head and said firmly: "Prime Minister, I really don't have a man I like, and I don't plan to get married, I just want to serve the lady for the rest of my life."
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said earnestly: "Xiaohong, it is natural for men to marry when they are married when they are old, so how can you say that you don't marry if you don't marry?"
Xiaohong stomped her feet, her face flushed with anxiety, and said coquettishly: "Prime Minister, don't say anything more, I'm going to run out."
Seeing Xiaohong's appearance, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, don't say it anymore, don't scare you away."
But he thought to himself that he would definitely discuss this issue with Ouyang Linlin when he had time.
Xi Yu's smile that had just been restrained faded again, and his thoughts suddenly floated to Dongfang Hong and Wenxuan.
He sighed in his heart that he hadn't contacted them for a long time, and he didn't know if they were okay.
Thinking of Wenxuan, I seemed to say that if I can’t find a suitable man, I won’t get married.
Xi Yu couldn't help but shook his head gently and thought to himself, "Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
Thinking of this, Xi Yu's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
Xiaohong suddenly looked pleaded, grabbed Xi Yu's sleeve tightly, and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, please, don't discuss this issue with the lady. I really don't have such an idea. The lady treats me like a sister. If I ask me to leave the lady, it will be even more uncomfortable than taking my life and will make me worse than death."
Tears flashed in her eyes, and her expression was extremely earnest.
Xi Yu looked at Xiaohong like this, sighed and said with emotion: "Oh, Xiaohong, your loyalty to Ouyang Linlin is really rare. Although you and Ouyang Linlin are nominally master and servant, they are actually deep sisterly love. It is really her luck that Ouyang Linlin can have a maid like you by her side."
After saying that, a hint of praise appeared in his eyes.
Xiaohong stared at Xi Yu closely, her eyes full of eagerness and expectation, and emphasized again: "Prime Minister, you must promise me that you must not mention this matter to the lady."
Xi Yu smiled helplessly and comforted: "Okay, okay, Xiaohong, I promise you that you are. Please relax."
Xiaohong then breathed a sigh of relief, her expression on her face slightly relaxed, and she said softly: "Thank you, Prime Minister, Xiaohong is very grateful."
