Thinking about it, since Gu Liyou came to Ye Mansion, Ye Sili has never been separated from him. The farthest distance is only the distance between Yusheng Courtyard and Yulan Courtyard. In addition, Ye Zhongyao has also been half-hidden for so many years.
Tang, wholeheartedly accompanying her. Not to mention Mu Jiufeng, since he was a child, apart from following Ning'an Marquis on a few far journeys, whenever he stayed in Kyoto, he would definitely follow Ye Sili around, but this time
The three of them left as soon as they were told and were caught off guard.
Although it's not their fault, she was left alone in Kyoto...
She grew up in the Ye family. Although her elders protected her, she was not a fool. The Ye family had been established in Kyoto for hundreds of years. She knew very well how many children had died on the battlefield and how many children had become victims of royal struggles. But
, there are some things that cannot be spoken, just like my grandfather now doesn't hear about the affairs of the court, but he still can't let go of the brave loyalty of the children of the Ye family, and once again wears the armor...
The world is dangerous. Grandfather, Ayou, Jiufeng, and Late Spring Huanxia...each of them must be well.
This expedition was urgent and the war was unknown. Ye Sili was inevitably a little worried and scared. The only hope he had all day was the osmanthus plant in the courtyard. It finally bloomed today, but Mu Jiufeng was the one who gave him a cold water.
It goes straight to the bottom of my heart!
Ye Sili has one advantage - she doesn't show her anger. If there are outsiders around, no one will know whether she is angry or not. For so many years, only the prince, Gu Liyou, Mu Jiufeng and Mu Chunhuan have been the only ones.
Xia Liangtou can make some judgments.
At this time, the three of them truly knew that the young lady must be unhappy.
Mu Jiufeng looked at the two sisters, Munchun Huanxia, for help, blinking his eyes, hoping that they could help coax them. Unexpectedly, Munchun Huanxia had an even better understanding at this time, and at the same time, he turned his head left and right.
The right ground was lowered, and Mu Jiufeng looked at his nose and heart, letting Mu Jiufeng take care of himself.
Mu Jiufeng carefully observed Ye Sili's expression and agreed: "Yes, it has blossomed."
Hearing this, Ye Sili looked up at him again and asked, "I'll wait for them at the city gate, will you go?"
"..." Mu Jiufeng didn't dare to hesitate and immediately replied: "Go, I will accompany you."
The weather was good today. The four of them found a nice teahouse nearby and booked a private room that was the highest and next to the street. Ye Sili sat by the window and looked down at the bustling street. With the setting sun, pedestrians walked a little bit.
I was in a hurry, probably rushing home, and the vendors also started to close their stalls.
Not far away was the high city wall. The guards at the city gate changed one after another. The waiter also came up and heated the tea over and over again. The other three seemed a little tired, but they didn't dare to speak.
You looked at me and I looked at you, glaring at each other. Finally, Mu Jiufeng couldn't help it anymore and said:
"Sili, we've been waiting all day. Why don't we go back today? Once there is news about them, I will notify you immediately. How about that?"
Ye Sili wanted to wait a little longer, but she turned around and faced Mu Jiufeng. She then remembered that Mu Jiufeng had also been traveling for several months and just returned to Beijing yesterday. However, he took a rest for the night and was called by her today.
After sitting there for a whole day, Lai Ku suddenly felt a little apologetic, nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work today. I heard that my uncle and aunt are not at home very much these days. How about you go back home with me to have dinner, which can be regarded as a belated refreshment?"
When Mu Jiufeng heard this, there was no reason to refuse. He immediately followed Ye Sili back home. Since he was here to help him, Ye Sili naturally cooked the food himself. Mu Jiufeng didn't show up either, and drove the late spring and summer away.
He walked out, rolled up his sleeves, and helped Ye Sili do it.
Ye Sili's cooking skills are first-rate. Mu Jiufeng has been away from home for several months and has nothing else to do but covet her delicious food.
With Mu Jiufeng's help, Ye Sili quickly prepared a large table of dishes. Mu Jiufeng smelled the aroma of the dishes and felt that he could no longer hold back the greed in his stomach.
Ye Mansion has never had many rules. Ye Zhongyao has always been informal in his military life. Ye Sili has a lively nature and is not as coy as ordinary young ladies. Gu Liyou follows Ye Sili as his principle. Therefore, Ye Mansion
The servants have never complained, but there is no need to be as frightened as Beppu.
During the days when Ye Zhongyao and Gu Liyou were out, Ye Sili was bored by herself and had no appetite for meals. Occasionally, she was able to eat a few more bites in the company of Late Chun Huanxia.
The four of them gathered around the table, and Mu Jiufeng started without any hesitation.
"But I'm so greedy. I've lost weight in the past few months since I've been out. It's all because of the delicious food you cook. It actually improves my taste. The food cooked by ordinary chefs is simply unpalatable!"
After Mu Jiufeng said that, he took a big bite of chicken without any courtesy, not caring about his image as a handsome young man.
While Mu Jiufeng was eating, he told Ye Sili the interesting things he met when he went out, which made Ye Sili very unhappy. Seeing Mu Jiufeng eating and drinking, Ye Sili also gained an appetite.
I ate a lot afterwards.
Ye Sili cooked a large table of dishes, which were all eaten by the four of them. The four of them touched their round bellies and felt so happy.
In late spring and summer, Huan Xia got up and put away the dishes. Ye Sili was still listening to Mu Jiufeng's story with her head tilted.
Suddenly, a person appeared in the dining room, and Ye Sili turned around to look. She recognized this person. He was the guard who had been with Jiu Feng since he was a child. He was sent out to find out information a few days ago.
"Young Master, Princess."
"Yuan Mu, how are you?" Mu Jiufeng glanced at Ye Sili and asked.
Yuanmu clasped his hands in his fists and replied: "Information just came from the front line. In the previous battle, the county king was seriously injured. Mr. Gu..." Yuanmu took a breath, looked at Ye Sili cautiously, and finally said: "
Missing."
There was a roar.
Ye Sili slumped down on the wooden chair and wanted to ask, but her voice was trembling and she could not speak.
Mu Jiufeng noticed Ye Sili's mood, stood up and walked to her side, patted her shoulder gently to reassure her, and asked carefully: "What is going on? Didn't we say that our army won a victory a few days ago?
Is victory in sight?"
Yuanmu had to keep the story short:
"Since Prince Mu and Duke Mu supported the border, our army has become more powerful and won a great victory. Recently, Master, you have calmed down the disaster situation, and the people of our country are at peace. The Qiang Kingdom must have known that the opportunity had been lost, and wanted to win a quick victory. Unexpectedly
They seemed to have gone crazy. They actually attacked our camp three days ago. Our army was outnumbered in this battle. However, our army suffered heavy losses during this attack. The prince was seriously injured and Mr. Mu disappeared."
Ye Sili was trembling all over and wanted to take a sip of tea to calm down, but her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Mu Jiufeng quickly poured a cup of hot tea and carefully handed it to her. Ye Sili took it and took a sip.
He took a small sip, drank another whole cup, and put down the tea cup.
After a long time, Ye Sili asked:
"What are the losses of our army in this battle?"
Mu Jiufeng looked at Ye Sili with some confusion, but he immediately understood.
Yuanmu replied: "According to reports from the front line, our army has sacrificed 215 people and injured 3823 people. The camp has been lost and the city defense has not been broken."
Hearing this, Ye Sili took a long breath, looked at each other and smiled at Mu Jiufeng, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Mu Jiufeng returned to his original position and sat down. Ye Sili poured another cup of tea and drank it slowly. Yuan Mu was a little confused when he saw the two of them calm and relaxed in an instant.
"Young Master, Princess, what are you doing?"
Mu Jiufeng smiled, Ye Sili put down the teacup, looked at Yuanmu's confused look, and asked funnyly:
"Do you know how many people each army sent to this battle?"
Yuanmu blurted out: "The enemy's army is 130,000, and our army... is 70,000."
It is said that 70,000 capital should be more than 70,000. When the prince went on the expedition, the imperial court only sent 30,000 horses, and the remaining 40,000 were soldiers stationed at the border.
It stands to reason that there are far more than 40,000 soldiers stationed at the border, but how can the border soldiers be deployed at will without the emperor's order, and this emperor's order they have been waiting for day and night... Huh, look at this hour, the palace is probably singing and dancing.
!
In this battle, the numbers of the enemy and ours were twice as large. However, as soon as the prince and Gu Liyou arrived, they were able to defeat the enemy.
Ye Zhongyao has been fighting for many years, and the soldiers under his command are all brave and good at fighting. They are comparable to ordinary soldiers. They know the basics and are very familiar with them. They work together flawlessly.
And Gu Liyou, the popular name of "Young General" is not false.
Although Ye Zhongyao and Gu Liyou have always used various excuses to shirk the official positions conferred on Gu Liyou by the emperor over the years, Gu Liyou has not been idle in Ye Mansion these years. Ye Zhongyao is a martial artist who cannot stay idle here in the capital.
So he took Gu Liyou with him to practice martial arts every day. When they had nothing to do, they would fight on the sand table, determined to compete.
In the first few years, Gu Liyou was naturally the loser. Ye Zhongyao didn't want to give in to his juniors a little bit. Gu Liyou always lost every time.
But gradually, sometimes it became really difficult for the two of them to tell the difference. Every time he lost, Ye Zhongyao had to think hard for several days. Later, seeing that Ye Zhongyao was too obsessed, Gu Liyou would let some water go without leaving a trace, and Ye Zhongyao
I don’t know where it is, but the two of them enjoy it endlessly.
Ye Sili may not understand others, but doesn't Gu Liyou still understand?
Therefore, even if Ye Sili doesn't understand, he still knows that the strength of the two of them has never been brute force. At least looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, Ye Sili really can't find anyone who can win over them in terms of tactical calculations.
, Mu Jiufeng naturally knows this.
Ye Sili put one hand on the table, supported her chin, and said unhurriedly:
"In the current situation, the Qiang country must have made great efforts to attack forcefully. However, our army was 'defeated' in this battle. The people were panicked, and the enemy army was even more proud. At first glance, our army was indeed extremely defeated, but
In fact... in a great battle, our army sacrificed more than 200 people and injured more than 3,000 people. However, the city was not lost at all. Who lost...?"
When Ye Sili said this, Yuanmu reacted immediately.
