Section 14
The invaders of the territory.
Zhang Jian choked, and swallowed the sentence "It's better to be punished". After all, he was also playing around in officialdom, and quickly changed his tone:
"Why don't you search again"
Suddenly in his mind, Zhang Jian's ghostly added another sentence: "The minister is willing to take the order and go to the border to search!"
Murong Xiu opened his eyes and carefully examined the affairs of the Privy Council standing next to him. Although Zhang Jian had always been at odds with those old officials, his face was warm and friendly. He is smart and loyal.
After a long silence, Murong Xiu dismissed all the palace members, and then slowly opened his mouth.
Zhang Jian stood next to Murong Xiu and listened respectfully. The more he listened, the more sweat on his forehead.
Helian Rongchuan stepped out of Yan Changqing’s room and didn’t know how far he had walked. He suddenly heard Helianjue scream:
"Second brother, what's wrong with your face?"
Helian Rongchuan reacted with a touch of his face and a scarlet hand. Only then did he feel a pain in his forehead. After being dragged back to the hut, Helianjue started looking for medicine to dress up in a hurry, and said angrily:
"Usually you have a slippery tone, and you can be said to be alive if you die. Why did you become a saw-mouthed gourd when you met that great beauty general, can't you explain it?"
"explain?"
Helian Rongchuan still had the resentful look in Yan Changqing's eyes when he looked at him just now, and said:
"What's the explanation? He's getting angry right now. It's useless to say anything, only a few more sword holes in his body."
He Lianjue almost memorized it in one breath:
"Then you have to explain. You have to tell him that Prince Dongyun originally ordered that none of the twenty boats stayed. It was you who knelt in front of the Prince's Palace, and had been beaten by your elder brother more than 80 whips. His skin and flesh were rotten, and he was given an exemption from death. He stayed up for two days and nights without eating or drinking, just to rush over as soon as possible and keep him safe!"
Helian Rongchuan shook his head, a faint guilt flashed across his eyebrows:
"But I didn't keep it. At that time, your life was hanging by a thread, and I had to hurt him."
He Lian Jue lowered his eyes and suddenly thought of something. With a sudden "Ouch", he hurriedly uncovered He Lian Rongchuan's upper body clothes, revealing mottled and piercing scars on his back. Because it was not treated in time and was soaked in water, most of these deep welts turned into black purple, the skin was open and fleshy, and some of them even became pus. What is even more shocking is that not only the back but also the chest and chest is a bloody hole that is not deep or shallow. The flesh and blood half turned out, it is the scar left by the arrow that I received last night.
He Lianjue gasped, "You—what did you do!"
Helian Rongchuan hurriedly said in a low voice: "Small voice, don't make any noise, Changqing rests."
As he said, he looked up at a few bald beams and rafters on the roof, and muttered to himself:
"It's a broken house, and it's louder and you can hear it next door. It's really not a good place for Changqing to heal your wounds... Hiss! Hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
He Lianjue couldn't laugh or cry, and while giving him medicine, he said, "Would it be better for people to know? Maybe they will forgive you when they see your hurt and feel weak."
"Forgive me?" Helian Rongchuan chuckled, but his face was a little gray: "Changqing's heart is very soft. It's a pity that now he can only wish to kill me with a sword."
Helianjue sighed again, and hurriedly gave Helianrong Sichuan medicine, while wrapping white gauze, said: "I don't understand this. According to your style of second brother, I thought you rushed over here on purpose, just to be straightforward. Tie him and take it away."
"Tied away? How should he look at me when he wakes up?"
Helianjue was taken aback, but couldn't answer.
"He must hate me to death." Helian Rongchuan murmured:
"I don't want him to hate me."
That's why he thought of pretending to be hit by an arrow, to force Yan Changqing to abandon the boat and escape with him. He thought that in this way, Yan Changqing would not hate himself.
He Lian Rongchuan was used to the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife and looking for gold in his bones. The benefits he seeks have never been for himself or for others, but never for the so-called country. Therefore, he never thought that someone could regard the important responsibilities the country entrusted to him as important.
In order for his soldiers to use sharp and strong swords, and for his country to become stronger, some people can give up everything without hesitation and fight with their lives.
Thinking of this, Helian Rongchuan couldn't help smiling a little bitterly. With so many plans, he finally made things go in the worst direction.
Helianjue looked at Helian Rongchuan's silent profile and stopped talking. In her eyes, Helian Rongchuan has always been unscrupulous, it seems that he can't do anything, he frowns, and he can't put anything in his heart. It was the first time that she saw her half-brother, who worked so hard for a person.
It seemed that her eldest brother, who was the prince at the time, had expected it to be true. The robbery was to kill the ship in one fell swoop, leaving the general for his life, and there was bound to be endless troubles.
Ten days later, Yan Changqing's injury gradually healed a lot, but the numbness in his right shoulder remained unresolved, and occasionally dull pain. Helian Rongchuan visits him regularly every day, delivers water, food, tea, and medicine. He is extremely courteous, and he always comes up to say something if he has nothing to do. However, Yan Changqing was determined to treat him as air, and didn't even look at him, let alone speak.
Ignorance and indifference made Helian Rongchuan feel very uncomfortable, but never said anything.
Yan Changqing would go out every day, and go further day by day, but he would come back every day at sunset.
Helian Rongchuan knew that the reason he didn't run away was to find the missing snow quenching stone of the twenty ships.
The sun was shining on this day, and as soon as Yan Changqing walked out the door, he heard a loud noise not far away. saw a group of half-person-tall children around a big elm tree that four or five people could not hug each other. Everyone had a small bamboo basket slung in their hands, all looking up. Several milk dolls who had just learned to walk were also held in their arms by their mother-in-law. While sucking their fingers, they waited for curious eyes to look at the tree.
"Aniang, when will my brother get rid of the yuqian?"
"Don't worry, don't worry." The village woman holding the child looked up with some worry: "Amao, be careful."
It turned out that there was a boy about seven or eight years old on the tree, who was keeping his balance with his arms outstretched, tremblingly stepping on the branches, as if trying to climb something. After hearing the village woman’s words, he glanced down, standing so high, the people under the tree became slap-sized, he was not afraid, just responded with a grin, turned and jumped onto another slender branch. .
A dozen children under the tree were urging like sparrows:
"Hurry up, my mother is still waiting for the pot!"
Suddenly it was quite lively.
It was spring when the young green elm leaves were new, and two bright rays of sunlight leaked under the huge canopy, gently leaning on Yan Changqing's eyelashes.
After being looted to Qixia Village for a few days, Helian Rongchuan secretly sent someone to monitor him, but he did not restrict his actions. It's just that Yan Changqing wanted to retrieve the Snow Quenching Stone, and never calmed down to look at this small village on the border between Yan Kingdom and Dongyun. Although the village is dilapidated, it is quite peaceful. The green hills and white clouds, the gurgling water, the small and small cottages scattered like dots at the foot of the mountain, the Chaimen is half-covered, and the dogs and chickens hear each other. It's just that, whether it's the frolicking crowd in front of you, the smoky cooking smoke not far away, the mooing calls of cows, these noises and joys seem to be far away from him.
Turning around and about to leave, Yan Changqing suddenly heard a creak behind him, and saw that the child named Amao was about to fall from the half-broken elm branch under his feet!
"My son!" The village woman holding the baby suddenly screamed.
Yan Changqing was taken aback, and he didn't want to fly onto him, and grabbed A Mao's arm. But at the same moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain flashing like lightning from the wound on his right shoulder, and his wrist loosened uncontrollably.
not good! Yan Changqing opened his eyes wide, seeing Ah Mao about to slip off his wrist——
Between the sparks and flints, a figure suddenly passed by, grabbing Ah Mao's wrist and holding his waist firmly with the other hand.
It is Helian Rongchuan.
Yan Changqing slowly fell to the ground, his face cast abruptly from Helian Rongchuan's hand, and he turned and left.
The Amao mother hurriedly hugged the child, stunned, her knees softened, and she fell to her knees in front of Helian Rongchuan and Yan Changqing with a plop, and kowtowed her head when she hugged the child who was so frightened and crying, "Thank you, two gods, Thank you two gods!"
Yan Changqing calmly said, "I'm not a god, and I don't have the ability to save you. Don't thank me."
Amao’s mother was very shocked. She only saw two fairy-like figures, one after another supporting her child in the air, like a fairy descending to the world, and she could only stop them at this time. Knocking his head to thank you, tears rippling, and can't say anything else.
It’s just that Ah Mao was courageous. He didn’t feel scared when he fell from a tree. He only found it fresh and interesting. He was so courageous that he pulled the corner of Yan Changqing’s clothes and grabbed Helian Rongchuan’s hand with a look of excitement. Turning back to his little friend and said:
"Look at it, look at that! These two fairy elder brothers can actually fly!
Just now, the dozen or so children surrounded by the tree, like ducklings with fresh fishes, their eyes brightened, and they hurriedly ran over with short legs to surround the two, one by one with excited smiling faces. Twitter:
"I saw it! Really can fly!" A little girl in a thin red shirt suddenly rushed over to hold Yan Changqing's calf and didn't let go. Regardless of Yan Changqing's cold face, she exclaimed excitedly: "This big brother flies the highest. !"
"Who said that this big brother is the best!" Another chubby little girl pulled Helian Rongchuan's hand, pouting her mouth, and said, "Your big brother was still hugged by my big brother. Woolen cloth!"
Can Xia is like blood 3
A group of children keep arguing over Helian Rongchuan and Yan Changqing who is more powerful. Even though Yan Changqing had a straight face, he didn't have a hard time breaking away the chubby little paws that were tightly clasped on his legs. He didn't want to go, nor did he keep it. It was quite a bit embarrassing.
Helian Rongchuan was about to say, "Come, come and come are all gone" to relieve him, but he heard a milky and milky childish voice suddenly popped out of a group of chirping little dumplings: "Oh! It's better to let these two gods." Big brother, help us go up the tree and pick elm money!"
When these children heard it, they fryed the pot even more. They excitedly shook the arms of Yan Changqing and Helian Rongchuan, and raised their heads one by one, and said coquettishly, "Big brother, help us!"
"Big brother is the best, he will definitely be able to pick a lot!"
"Big brother is the best!"
Helian Rongchuan hugged a little fat girl who was hanging around his leg, and rubbed her little yellow hair with his hands, and said: "I can help you, but this big brother is on him There is an injury, can you let him go, okay?"
The little fat girl looked at Yan Changqing reluctantly. A child doesn't know how to look at his face. He is really a little reluctant to let go of this big brother who looks very powerful, and said pitifully with a pouting mouth:
"Woo, then... let this big brother accompany us to pick up elm money below, okay?"
Helian Rongchuan smiled and hugged the little fat girl, and said to Yan Changqing, "Then this big brother is willing or not?"
Yan Changqing: "..."
Helian Rongchuan curled up the corners of his mouth, leaped gently onto the big elm tree, and shouted down: "Children, take the elm money."
After a stick of incense, the noise under the big elm tree finally gradually stopped. Every child's small bamboo basket was stuffed with bright yellow and green elm money, and they scattered again and again. Yan Changqing bent down, picked up the last bunch of elm money and put it into the little fat girl's small bamboo basket, clapped his hands, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the crying village woman just now.
This village woman is the mother of A Mao and that little fat girl. She also slung a large basket on her arm, covered with blue floral cloth, and the exposed corner was piled with strings of tender yellow elm coins. She rubbed her hands with embarrassment and blushed earnestly. :
"Two nobles saved my Ah Mao's life. I'm the old man and I don't know what to thank. Why don't you ask them to have lunch at my house as a thank you?"
Yan Changqing didn’t finish saying “No need”, so he was hugged by Amao and the chubby girl, the larger one hung his arm, the smaller one hugged his leg, and the two were leaning back. The very similar little red face, looked up at him pitifully. Helian Rongchuan had never seen Yan Changqing helplessly entangled by a little baby like this, clutching his stomach and smiled:
"I don't see that Master Yan still likes the baby doll so much, hahaha, I think if you don't agree, this little baby will definitely not let go."
There was an enthusiastic invitation from a village woman before, and two fat dolls were forced to act like a coquettish and cute. Yan Changqing was dragged into the farmhouse of Amao's family in this way.
Although it is a hut built with thatch, bamboo and mud mixed with mud and stone, the room is quite clean. The floor is swept with a broom, and there are still thin broom marks. The little fat girl sat beside Yan Changqing with a bit of a twist, seemingly afraid of Yan Changqing's cold face, but she kept peeking at Yan Changqing.
Helian Rongchuan likes this clever little girl very much, put his arm around her, and said, "Eh eh, chubby girl, what are you looking at?"
The little fat girl is only three or four years old. When asked this way, she lowered her head shyly, pointed her little finger at Yan Changqing, and said, "I'm looking at that big brother."
"Isn't I your big brother, why don't you look at me?" Helian Rongchuan grabbed the chubby girl's tender little face and asked casually, but his eyes were not looking, and he sat coldly and drank. Yan Changqing of tea.
The little chubby girl was frightened by Helian Rongchuan's deliberately frowning and angry, tears burst into her eyes, her small mouth flattened honestly, and she said, "Because that big brother looks good."
Helian Rongchuan gently squeezed the chubby girl's cheeks with both hands, and teased her with a rough voice deliberately: "Then am I not good-looking?"
The little fat girl glanced at Helian Rongchuan with tears in her eyes.
In fact, Helian Rongchuan looks very beautiful, with a straight brow bone, a straight nose, and healthy wheat-colored skin. Whether viewed from the side or from the front, the facial contours are very deep and handsome, with a little wild and unruly, and very male aggressive charm. It’s just that this kind of look is not appreciated by three or four-year-old female dolls, especially Helian Rongchuan is still so fierce that her face hurts, so in the heart of the little chubby girl, Helian Rongchuan’s image has dropped a bit. .
In the eyes of this little baby, it was Yan Changqing's handsome and youthful face, which made it easier to get close to.
Although that face is cold now, it seems a little unhappy. But when was picking up Yuqian money, this elder brother was still very gentle to her.
So the little chubby girl snorted abruptly, grieving and crying, and said loudly to Helian Rongchuan: "Huh, you are a big ugly monster, that brother is a beautiful fairy!"
cough.
Yan Changqing choked slightly, and put down the tea cup with a calm expression.
Here Amao Niang has already prepared her food quickly. As soon as the bamboo steamer was opened, there were four large bowls of steamed soft elm coins wrapped in cornmeal and flour in the steaming white steam. The emerald green shallots and garlic on the side of the table were freshly ordered from her vegetable garden with Amao’s request. She neatly washed these ingredients with spring water and chopped them up, and then poured them with vinegar and her own freshly ground sesame oil to mix, a fresh, spicy, hot meal wafting out.
Helian Rongchuan looked sideways, and there seemed to be waves floating in his dark brown eyes. He rubbed the corners of his eyes, and saw that Ah Mao had already placed a big bowl of steamed elm money in front of Yan Changqing, offering treasures, and said, "Big brother, eat first!"
Helian Rongchuan curled his lips: "I have no conscience."
Amao Niang has brought a few more bowls here,
