After putting down the dishes in their hands, the three of them exchanged some pleasantries, then asked the girl in front of them to bring up a box, and then they spoke again.

"Then I will call you sister in a friendly way. Sister, in addition to wanting to get to know and get close to you, I also want to thank you on behalf of my brother and General Wu Ya for your care."

This thank you was without beginning or end. Yu Lian looked at Duan Concubine with doubts. It would have been fine if she just gave the gift, but now that it was given the name of gratitude, it was difficult for her to ask others to accept it.

"Sister, where did these words come from? You and I are strangers to each other. My brother is far away on the battlefield. How can I thank you if I haven't even seen him in person?"

Duan Concubine did not answer for a moment, as if she was thinking of her deceased father and brother. Now her eyes were red, her throat was congested and she was speechless. She just asked the slave in front of her to open the box and show it to Concubine Duan. Think about it.

You'll know it at a glance.

Huayue took it, glanced at the items inside, and suddenly said "Huh" in surprise, and hurriedly showed it to her master.

"Master, look, if I remember correctly, these must be the heart armor and knee pads that you personally sewed for the second master at the beginning of last year!"

Yu Lian hurriedly took it out and took a closer look. She saw that the stitches and patterns were indeed made by her own hands. The outside was woven with leather, and the inside was made of soft gold wire specially made by someone, and then attached with a layer of hard pottery armor.

It is resistant to sword puncture and is light and close-fitting. Wear this inside and wear the Eight Banners unified armor on the outside. Even if it is hot, it is absolutely safe.

Fucheng said in letters more than once that this thing had prevented disaster for him, but how could this thing appear in Duan Bin's hands? Thinking about what Duan Bin had just said to thank her for her blessing on behalf of her brother, Yu Yan had some guesses.

"Sister Duan, Xie Fucheng gave this thing to your brother, but I saw that this heart armor is not complete anymore. This thing has not played its due role. How can I and Fucheng

I can deserve this thank you from my sister."

"Without the company of General Wu Ya, he probably wouldn't have lived long enough to die for his country. Without your protective armor, he wouldn't have been able to go home or see me.,,,,,,

,"

"This war was all about self-care, but General Wu Ya was so loyal and kind that he took care of my second brother. Gradually, my second brother came out, and there were more and more letters from home."

However, we are all descendants of the Eight Banners. There are traitors like Boren, and there are real heroes like the Dong family father and brother. The traitors are still enjoying themselves, but the real heroes have buried their bones in the battlefield, causing their loved ones pain for a lifetime. It’s true.

It makes people sad and angry.

Yu Lian did not dare to say directly that a hole two fingers wide was opened in the center of the armor. Looking at the degree of damage to the armor, one could tell that most of the people wearing the armor at that time were in bad condition. Both Duan and his brother were in trouble.

Death in battle, how could she elaborate on this and reveal the scars of a person?

These women in the harem, although their fathers, brothers or family members are more or less in the army, but because their status is not low, most of them are high-ranking generals in the army, they are not expected to have to charge into battle again and again, so the women have nothing but worries and concerns.

How much worry.

Some arrogant people not only do not care about the safety of their father and brother, but also care about their achievements. They only hope that they will make more military exploits so that she can gain glory and wealth based on their illustrious military exploits.

"Sister, please don't say this. I am really grateful to my sister for the heart armor. I am grateful to General Wu Ya for his gift. My father and elder brother were killed in the battle last year. They were generals heading south. They met on the way.

He fell down and died."

"I was anxious to see my second brother, so I rode on horseback all night and led people to meet him. Fortunately, I passed by and was able to see my second brother for the last time. He was seriously injured, and his face was gray and almost breathless. When he knew I was coming, he was forced to

Please tell me not to forget the kindness between you and General Wuya."

"The military doctor took a look and found that he was blessed by the heart armor given to him by General Wu Ya before setting off. This allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. However, he was too seriously injured and could not be cured by the military doctor. He had to accept the concern of the county king.

At such a critical moment, we sent out personal soldiers to escort my second brother and several other injured generals back to Beijing for medical treatment."

Looking at the tattered appearance of the armor, if it had been worn on Fucheng that day, Fucheng would have died.

Because of Fucheng, she was able to understand the Duan concubine's emotions very well. Calculating the time, before Fucheng gave the heart armor to the second brother of the Dong family, it was the time when he was recuperating after rescuing Prince Cheng from serious injury. If

Fucheng had not been injured before, so he must have fought side by side with the second brother of the Dong family.

At this point, Duan Concubine couldn't help it anymore. She covered her face and gritted her teeth and cried bitterly. Her usually straight back bent down in front of others for the first time. Everyone present heard this and shed tears.

Duan Bin remembered her second brother's state at that time, and suddenly her nose felt sour again: "I heard from the people who followed my second brother that my second brother seemed to have lost his soul since then. He devoted himself to killing the enemy. In order to avenge his father and brother, he

Even without caring about his own life, he always rushed to the front and penetrated deep into the enemy's territory."

"At that time, the second brother was ordered to go to King Chengjun to report the military situation. Before he returned, he heard the news that his father and brother were killed in the battle. He was hungry and tired and fainted immediately when he heard the news. When he woke up again, he had received the imperial order.

The old troops of my father and brother were brought under the command of King Chengjun, and my second brother became a comrade of General Wu Ya at that time."

Duan Bin held back her tears and looked at the brown blood stains on the armor that could not be washed away. She felt sad and seemed to be remembering something through these traces. She was a strong person. She did not shed tears after all, but looked at the jade with red eyes.

Smile slightly.

"However, things are unpredictable after all. Who would have thought that a traitor would appear from the Wang Jia family who betrayed the country and sought glory. Thousands of soldiers were imprisoned because of this. My second brother was one of them. He was stabbed several times, and there were also wounds on his shoulders and legs.

With dozens of arrow feathers embedded in him, those who rescued him couldn't believe he was still alive."

Fucheng just saved his life due to an injury. How could he be complacent about it? How could he feel at ease and accept favors from others? Yuqian touched the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief and couldn't help but stand up and hug Duanbi in her arms.

Here, the little girl is only fifteen this year. I really don’t know how she survived.

"Don't say any more words of gratitude from now on. If Fucheng can give this life-saving thing to your second brother, then he really treats your second brother as his own brother. From now on, we will get along like sisters.

Sincerely."

Duan Concubine came here today with a grateful heart. However, in addition to this grateful heart, she also wanted to find a backer. After all, fighting alone in the palace will never succeed. Even if she has no desire to compete for favor, she can only

Afraid of getting involved in unwarranted disputes.

She no longer had the support of her biological brothers, so she thought of relying on her second brother's relationship to get her concubine to get closer to her. In addition to the armor, she also had a letter in her arms, which was a belated letter from her second brother.

, it just writes about his brotherly relationship with General Wuya.
