After the box was opened, what came into view was a neatly folded object.
Chang Suining took out the thing curiously, his eyes moved accordingly, and after unfolding it with both hands, he discovered that it was actually an armor suit.
But it is impossible for ordinary armor to be folded like this. This thing is light and soft yet extremely dense. Chang Sui Ning looked at it carefully, his eyes were slightly bright. The method of making this armor is extremely exquisite, both in terms of material and weaving hooks.
Something she had never seen before.
She looked at it carefully for a while, and felt that she couldn't put it down. After a while, she sat down, put down the armor temporarily, and opened the letter.
The letter is Cui Jing's handwriting. Just like the person, it is not only the handwriting, but also the content of the letter - what it says is very concise, and only half a page of letter paper is written in total.
He first summarized the matter of annexing the state in two sentences, and explained that he would rush to the north after handling the matter of annexing the state.
Then he asked about Chang Sui'an's recovery from his injury.
I thanked her in another sentence and said that I was lucky to have her write to remind me.
Then he told her that this armor was generally indestructible by swords, guns and arrows, but it was also lightweight and could be worn close to the body when outside to avoid the risk of critical injuries.
Finally, he told her that there was another list attached to the envelope. On it were the people who knew him in the Yangzhou rebellion army. They were all trustworthy people. Chang Kuo also knew about it, but just in case, he still made a list with her.
,in case for need.
This concise letter ended here. Chang Suining went to check the envelope again and saw a list of names in it.
When she was looking at the list, A Dian walked in from outside, followed by several cats, who came to ask for water from Xi'er.
Xi'er smiled and teased him: "It seems that the little raccoon slaves are not so easy to teach, but they have exhausted the teacher."
As he spoke, he handed over the tea: "General, please drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
A Dian thanked her, took the tea and drank it down.
When he put the tea cup down, he saw the armor and said, "Isn't this Yanling chain mail? Why are you here?"
Chang Sui Ning looked at him after hearing this: "Do you recognize this armor?"
"Of course, this is Xiao Jing's wild goose feather armor." A Dian said, picked it up, and said to her: "I heard that a very powerful craftsman killed five hundred wild geese and stripped off the most beautiful parts of them.
With the hard feathers, I killed two cows and took away their strongest sinews to make this armor!"
Chang Sui Ning was stunned.
It sounds really cruel.
But to put it mildly, it was indeed her dream love.
A Dian continued: "I also wanted one before, but I heard that the craftsman is no longer here, and other people's craftsmanship is not as good as him, so this wild goose feather armor is the only one in the world!"
Chang Suining was a little surprised, is this the only one?
Indeed, not only is this armor made of special materials, but it also has copper and iron as hooks. Each piece is very fine and thin, and the weaving technique is also very rare. It would be difficult to imitate it without an armor maker teaching the making method.
As A Dian said, he compared the armor in front of him and wondered: "But why does it look so much smaller?" He compared it in front of him, like a big, strong doll with a strong hanging in front of him.
A small bag that can only be worn when the moon is full.
After Chang Suining heard this, there was nothing he didn't understand.
Even A Dian reacted quickly and suddenly realized: "Oh! I know, it was Xiaojing who made it smaller, and now it is given to you to wear, right?"
He widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Little A Li, Xiao Jing, he likes you so much! He even gave you the goose feather armor!"
The word "like" in his mouth was very simple and pure, but Chang Sui Ning was stunned when he heard it.
This Yan Fei Armor was only one piece, but he gave it to her as a gift, and had already made it smaller beforehand, so he wouldn't give her a chance to return it.
"Put it on quickly and try to see if it's awesome or not!"
When Chang Sui Ning was lost in thought, A Dian had already arrived in front of her, and he couldn't wait to put the wild goose feather armor on her body, then pulled her up, held her shoulders and turned her around.
"It's really majestic!" A Dian said with bright eyes: "Little A Li, if you put on this wild goose feather armor, you might also be able to become a general!"
Chang Suining subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the bronze mirror placed in front of the dressing table.
The girl in the mirror has her hair in a bun, beads and flowers, and a skirt. She is covered with a silver and bronze armor. She looks a bit nondescript, not majestic, but quite funny.
The girl in the mirror couldn't help but smile at herself.
Chang Suining put one hand on the cool armor and lowered his eyes to look at the list in his other hand.
He didn't say or ask too many questions, but he knew what her heart wanted and what she wanted to do next.
"Girl, there are many letters in this box!"
Xi'er's voice sounded, and Chang Suining looked back.
Any more letters?
Xi'er took out the pile of letter paper from under the armor and handed it to her girl.
Chang Sui Ning was attracted by the wild goose feather armor at first glance, and for a moment he didn't notice that there were still these letters at the bottom of the box.
When I saw it at this time, I felt it was very strange. These letters were stacked one by one and were not put into envelopes. There were wrinkles on the surface, as if someone had crumpled them into a ball and then unfolded them flat.
What's even more strange is that... although the handwriting is also Cui Jing's, the contents of each letter are similar. The beginning of each letter is almost the same, and they are all addressed to her.
Chang Sui Ning was puzzled and did not bother to take off his armor. He sat down and looked at each one carefully.
As you continue to read, it is not difficult to find that none of these pieces of writing paper have been completed, and they were all discarded by the person who wrote them in the middle of writing.
So, these are all discarded letters written by Cui Jing?
A dozen or so of them all?
The first letter she read explained in detail the causes and consequences of the Bingzhou Rebellion, and his suspicion that what Xiao Chuan said might not be all true.
In the second letter, she asked whether she had adapted to Xuanzhou, whether it was a hard journey, whether it was more boat rides or carriages and horses, whether the injury on her arm had healed, whether Senior A Dian was well-behaved and sensible when away from home...
The third one detailed that although he had worn the Yan Fei Armor, he had Yuan Xiang wash it clean over and over again, and he personally remade it overnight. He expected it to fit roughly so that she could wear it with peace of mind...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fourth picture, the fifth picture...
The tenth picture, the reply is very late, don’t blame me, the war has just ended, all the previous letters were intercepted by Xiao Chuan’s subordinates, I just saw the letter today...
After reading this sentence, Chang Suining realized that this guy had actually lied... Didn't the original "serious" letter say, "Fortunately, she wrote to remind me"?
As a result, when he saw her letter, the battle was clearly over!
How could there be such a strange thing in the world that would rather make up nonsense than say thank you to others?
Chang Suining finally turned to the last page.
There is something different about this piece of paper. In the previous ones, I at most stopped writing in the middle of writing, but this one didn’t stop writing enough. I crossed out the last two lines with pen and ink. Perhaps the person who wrote the letter felt that these two lines were very important. inappropriate.
But the content of the two crossed-out sentences is not difficult to identify. What is written on it is that we will rush to the north soon. From then on, the distance between the north and the south is getting farther and farther. I hope that we will be reunited soon. Please take care, Looking forward to seeing you again. Winter has arrived, so we need to keep warm, drink more hot food, wish you a good winter, and hope that your eyebrows will relax.
After reading it in his mind, Chang Suining blinked slowly.
Isn't this... well written, why do you have to cross it out and discard it?
"... Governor Cui actually sent so many letters to the girl?" Xi'er was amazed.
Chang Sui Ning, who had been reading for half an hour, subconsciously looked at the last letter.
It was indeed written by him, but as for sending it away...it probably wasn't his intention.
She had just thought that he was too concise for what he was.
so……
Simple right?
Yes, after all, I paid for it with the lives of more than ten useless letters.
Chang Suining tapped the pile of letter paper with his finger and asked A Dian curiously: "Does Governor Cui always make drafts when he writes letters to others?"
A Dian was squatting aside and taking turns grooming several cats. Hearing this, he raised his head, reacted for a while, and then shook his head: "I've never seen it before!"
Chang Sui Ning also felt that it shouldn't be the case. If he had to be so entangled every time he wrote to someone, he wouldn't have to do anything else.
When he came up with the strategy to lure the snake out of its hole in Bingzhou, he might not have spent as long as he spent on these letters.
At this time, I heard A Dian say in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course Xiao Jing writes you so many letters because she likes you!"
Chang Suining paused slightly as he clicked on the letter.
If we follow A Dian's theory, he writes so many letters to her because he "likes" her, but then discards them after writing them because he doesn't want her to see them, then it's because... he doesn't want her to know that he "likes" her. "Her?"
Or is it because he learned that she is Li Shang that he considers every word like this, not knowing how to get along with her?
It should be noted that there are many types of "like". It has always been very common to "like" her. Even she liked herself, but which kind of like did he like?
Chang Sui Ning was tired from reading the letter, so he put his chin up and began to think.
The like of "a close friend who can be used at both ends"?
The love of "spreading blood together on the battlefield and cherishing each other"?
Or, "Cui Jing Shuzi, does he want to mess with my ambitions"?
She dared to think more about this last level, but she felt it was inappropriate to jump to conclusions, lest she end up with a bag under her eyes.
People's hearts are unpredictable. Only the person who wrote the letter knows the answer best. Chang Sui Ning stopped thinking about it and just put the letters back in the box.
"Ning Ning, I heard that there was a letter from Governor Cui?"
Chang Sui'an's voice came from outside through the bamboo curtain.
After receiving Chang Suining's voice in response, the sword boy just pushed Chang Sui'an in.
"Ning Ning, what did Governor Cui say in the letter?"
"..." Chang Suining glanced at the small box and felt that if he recounted everything one by one, he might not be able to finish it before dark.
She picked out the serious and concise letter and talked to Chang Sui'an.
"In spite of his busy schedule, Governor Cui still cared about my injury..." Chang Sui'an regretted: "Nowadays, there are rumors everywhere about the merger of the two states... If I could have set out with Xuance's army, I would have been better.
How nice.”
"Brother, if you can take good care of your muscles and bones, you will have many opportunities in the future."
Chang Sui'an: "Now I am following the doctor's orders as military orders!"
"But Ning Ning... what are you wearing?" Chang Sui Ancai took a closer look and said, "armor coat?"
Chang Suining was about to answer him when he suddenly heard Chang Ren's voice from outside: "Girl, Lao Kang is here!"
Chang Suining's face straightened: "Invite people in."
The "Lao Kang" in Chang's mouth is one of the veterans of the Chang family, and he is also the leader in sending money and food to the military camp this time.
Lao Kang, who was nearly sixty years old and still very nimble on his legs, walked in quickly and saluted with fists in his hands: "Girl, sir!"
"Why did Uncle Kang find this place himself?" Chang Sui Ning immediately asked, "But is there something different about Dad?"
She had previously agreed with Lao Kang and the others that after they saw Chang Kuo, they would send a letter to her, but when they didn't see the letter, they arrived at this time. Obviously something was wrong.
"Yes." Lao Kang's dusty face looked tense: "I was waiting for this trip, but I couldn't see the general."
"Have you not seen Dad?" Chang Sui'an suddenly stood up from the wheelchair: "What's wrong with Dad?"
"We followed the girl's instructions, took the documents from the Ministry of Revenue, and escorted the money and food to the military camp. We wanted to see the general, but the people in the military camp refused to allow me because the general was recovering from his injuries and no one was allowed to disturb him.
See you soon!"
They tried to negotiate with the people in the military camp for a long time, but the other party refused to let go no matter what. In the end, they even laid out military regulations, saying that if they continued to be stubborn, they would be punished according to military regulations.
Lao Kang and others had no intention of starting a dispute at this juncture, so they could only take a step back and let them help pass a message to Chang Kuo.
The other party agreed perfunctorily, and it was still unknown whether he would comply with the request later. Lao Kang sensed something was wrong, so he left his men nearby to continue to inquire about the information, and he quickly came to Xuanzhou to inform the girl about the matter.
Chang Suining frowned: "What about Uncle Chu and the others? We couldn't see them either?"
Lao Chang also led a group of personal soldiers, with Chu Xing as the leader and nearly a hundred people. They couldn't all be "recuperating", right?
Lao Kang: "I have privately inquired with a familiar captain. Lao Chu and the others were ordered to deal with the Xu rebels in the Sizhou area. They have been fighting for many days and have not yet returned."
"Then does this famous captain know what is going on with my father?"
She had heard from Li Lu before that during the battle at Duliang Mountain, her father was injured by an arrow when he broke out to save Li Yi, but it was not serious. How come he could not even see anyone?
"This person has not seen the general for several days. He only knows that Li Yi has people stationed outside the general's tent, claiming that no one is allowed to disturb the general's recovery. Only medical officers and soldiers delivering food come in and out every day."
Chang Suining's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly: "I'm afraid Li Yi is putting his father under house arrest in the name of recovering from his injuries..."
House arrest is still the best possibility.
"Li Yi is the commander-in-chief and Dad is the deputy commander. Why would he do this?" Chang Sui'an was shocked and confused: "Is it a disagreement, or is it because he resented Dad for preventing him from returning to the Huainan Palace?"
Chang Suining also told him some things on the way to Xuanzhou.
Chang Sui Ning didn't waste any more time guessing. She stood up and walked out. She raised her hand to remove the armor from her body and held it in her hand: "Uncle Ren, please quickly prepare horses and dry food for me and Her Royal Highness to say goodbye."
After that, you will immediately follow me to Shouzhou."
Shouzhou is guarding the Huai River, which is where the rebel army is currently encamped.
"Ning Ning...!" Chang Sui'an hurriedly followed.
Hearing Chang Suining come to say goodbye, behind the bead curtain, the salty plum in Princess Xuan'an's hand fell with a "clack".
