250. Chapter 250 The Northwest Army is a trump card
The night is quiet at first, and people have fallen asleep.
The quiet and peaceful night sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with twinkling stars, which is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
Xia Chuyi was sitting on the roof. She was only wearing a thin black dress and her black hair was half tied. Her petite figure showed a rare feeling of weakness.
Lin Shengqin stepped on the tiles to the roof, walked to her and sat down next to her.
Seeing her turn back to look at him, he touched his nose awkwardly: "What? You can sit on this roof, but I can't?"
Xia Chuyi lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "Young Master Lin, your awkward temperament has not changed at all."
"I didn't..." Lin Shengqin wanted to retort, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that his eagerness to clarify actually confirmed Xia Chuyi's words.
Seeing the person next to him lowering his eyes and smiling softly, he suddenly felt funny too. He looked at the distant sky and said, "Isn't it cold?"
Xia Chuyi shook his head gently: "When I was in the Imperial Master Academy, I practiced in the cold pool. The water can freeze your toes. Compared with here, it is as warm as spring.
Why is it cold?"
Lin Shengqin couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.
At first, when he met Xia Chuyi in Yecheng, who had transformed from a five-spirit waste body into a thunder attribute, he thought it was God's favor and favor. He also felt a little unfair.
But even if you are extremely talented and don’t work hard, how can your level soar thousands of miles out of thin air?
She has the divine artifact of heavenly fire, which she risked her life to obtain. She has strong spiritual power, which is the result of her hard training.
It has always been the case that you reap what you sow. He has nothing to say about her being able to achieve what she has today.
Sometimes I find it ridiculous. At that time, I even asked stupidly, who will be more powerful ten years from now.
In fact, when she is moving towards the goal she wants with all her heart, many answers are already self-evident.
"Have you had a hard time this year?" He felt his mouth was a little bitter, and it seemed that even the words he spoke had a bitter taste.
Xia Chuyi tilted his head and looked at the sky, pursed his lips and smiled: "As long as you live, what kind of life is not hard? But there are a lot of friends who sincerely care for me with me, and I feel that in this world,
I can't find anyone happier than me."
Oh, that means you are living a good life.
Lin Shengqin lowered his eyes somewhat sadly, half of his backlit face was half-shadowed by the starry moonlight, making it look more and more three-dimensional.
After Xia Chuyi finished speaking, he didn't hear any sound. He turned his head to look at Lin Shengqin and smiled with his eyes widened: "What about you? How have you been this year?"
Lin Shengqin sighed: "It's not bad. After I came out of home, I traveled around. Later, I accidentally met the old general Wang Ke of the Northwest Army. He asked me to join the army and taught me his lifelong skills, fighting skills, and military strategies.
As for me, let me lead the army well. Naturally, I dare not live up to his expectations. I have spent the past year suppressing chaos and bandits and training soldiers. I have not been idle for a moment, but I have lived a fulfilling life."
When Xia Chuyi heard this, he nodded and said: "It's a good thing that a thousand-mile horse can meet Bole. People have entrusted such a big burden to you. If you don't do it well, you will not only make others disobey you, but also have a negative impact on General Wang's lifelong reputation."
Influence, you should work harder."
"Ha, it made me look like a playboy before." Lin Shengqin finally couldn't help but laugh after hearing Xia Chuyi's heartfelt, young man-like words.
Xia Chuyi couldn't help but glared at him angrily: "You used to be arrogant. If you don't come out and see the outside world, how could you be the person you are today? Besides, I'm not wrong."
Seeing that Lin Shengqin was completely speechless, she became more and more convinced that he was acquiescing to her own point of view.
As everyone knows, what can make a person speechless is not only words, but also the demeanor of every move and the eyes that unconsciously reveal coquettishness.
He turned his head and looked forward, not daring to look at Xia Chuyi again: "Well, you are leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes," Xia Chuyi couldn't help but sigh, "We must rush back to Yancheng, return this troublesome identity to the emperor, and then quickly stay away from that place of right and wrong. Otherwise, we may be punished.
He was involved in some kind of power conspiracy, and I don’t know how he died in the end.”
Lin Shengqin tightened his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then where are you going?"
"I don't know, there is nowhere in the world for a little girl like me." Xia Chuyi stood up and made a hug gesture towards the sky, with a pure and sincere smile on his face.
Lin Shengqin didn't know why, but when he saw her like that, he felt like she was going to float away in the wind, like a bird that could never stop without feet, flying with all its strength, not knowing where it would go.
That posture is free and lonely. Behind all the prosperity, she is a light swaying alone in the darkness, with only one shadow dancing.
On the first day of Xia Chu, I stood on the roof and felt the coolness of the night wind. I looked at the dark and silent streets and said with regret: "It's a pity that I finally came to such a beautiful place, and all I can think about are those skeletons and rotting corpses."
I haven’t even visited the night market. It will take at least a long time for this place to return to its previous appearance.”
Lin Shengqin still had to stay in Cangzhou City to deal with the aftermath of Cangzhou and Liuzhou. After returning today, he had already issued many remedial measures. Ting Yan said hurriedly: "A notice has been posted today, and people have been sent to the streets to go door to door.
Notices have been sent door to door, and it should not take more than two days to restore the situation."
"Well, I believe you." Xia Chuyi smiled and sat down next to him, turning his head to look at Lin Shengqin.
Lin Shengqin felt his eyelids twitch inexplicably, and asked with some anxiety: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xia Chuyi chuckled: "I just feel weird."
"What's weird?"
"It's strange that you, a general in charge of almost the entire Northwest Army, would come here personally to handle these matters. Did General Wang ask you to come?"
Lin Shengqin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes sharpened, and he said with a solemn expression: "The old general said it is not good for me to stay in the army at this time."
"Old General Wang is a smart man. Now the seven major families... well, the Wei family is destroyed, and the Queen Wei can no longer cause trouble. At best, there are only six major families."
Xia Chuyi said and couldn't help but chuckle meaninglessly.
"The six major families, the Shen family, which relies on the Wei family to survive, will definitely be scattered. They must either quickly attach themselves to the Lu family and the Qin family, or they will not be able to escape the fate of being exterminated. The Ye family, the Bai family, and the Yuwen family
, basically they are not in charge. Nowadays, the Lu and Qin families are fighting fiercely for power. Your Northwest Army is a trump card, and no one will want it."
Lin Shengqin nodded: "The old general said so too."
"Did the old general tell you, what would you do if the Xuanyuan Dynasty collapsed?" Xia Chuyi looked at Lin Shengqin and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Should you... go north?"
Lin Shengqin frowned, and after a long while he relaxed, then smiled: "You are a smart man, I should be glad that you were not born a man."
Xia Chuyi admitted without any shame: "That is."
Lin Shengqin wanted to laugh looking at it.
"Why are you laughing? I am telling the truth. Moreover, intelligence does not distinguish between men and women. We women can also do things that men can do, including marching and fighting. So I reject what you just said.
Say it again."
Xia Chuyi shook his head and said seriously, waggling his index finger as he spoke. He looked serious, but it made people want to laugh inexplicably.
"Okay, okay, I'll say it again. Thanks to Yushi Xia for not coming to the army to compete with me for a job, otherwise I wouldn't even know where I would be..."
This was the first time that Lin Shengqin had shed his burden and said these words to Xia Chuyi so calmly. In fact, aside from the face that had always been indelible, the two of them were not so at odds with each other as soon as they met.
Xia Chuyi also smiled triumphantly, flicked her hair on her forehead, and raised her chin at him: "Lin Shengqin, this is the first time I feel like you look like a man."
Lin Shengqin frowned in mock anger: "Were you not a man before?"
"That one..."
"What is that?"
"Well...the night is beautiful today. Look, do the stars look like a spoon when connected together?"
Xia Chuyi quickly covered her mouth, stood up, and prepared to grease her soles and run away.
Lin Shengqin stood up slowly and couldn't help but smile: "Wait a moment, I will take you somewhere."
"No, I'm going to bed. Master told me that going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health!"
…
"Where are we going?" Xia Chuyi asked Lin Shengqin with a curl of his lips as he looked at the quiet street.
That's right, in the end she couldn't bear the curiosity that could kill a cat, so she put Ningshen incense in Chang Huan's house to prevent him from not sleeping well and running around after her. And she was so pissed.
Followed Lin Shengqin out of the city lord's mansion.
Lin Shengqin answered the question that Xia Chuyi had asked a dozen times with the same sentence: "We'll be there soon. Well, isn't this it?"
As he spoke, he stopped in front of a house, went up and knocked on the wooden door.
It had ordinary brick walls and tiles, and it didn't even have a name. It was a very ordinary house, nothing special. Xia Chuyi tilted his head and looked at Lin Shengqin, wondering what trick he was playing.
Just when I was wondering, I heard a "creak", the wooden door was opened a crack, and an inquiring look came from inside: "Who is it?"
"Uncle, I am Lin Shengqin from the Northwest Army. I'm sorry to bother you so late."
The names of Lin Shengqin and Xia Chuyi have been famous in Cang and Liuzhou recently. As soon as they came, they quickly solved the haunting incident that had troubled the people for half a month. Everyone's impression of them was that they were the saviors.
ah!
The old man quickly opened the door and welcomed the two people in: "This is General Lin. If you are not far away, please come in quickly!"
Lin Shengqin turned around and waved to Xia Chuyi, who was still stunned outside: "Why are you still standing there? Come in quickly!"
