Meng Hetong was silent for a long time, and then took a deep breath, with a look of sadness on his face.
Seeing Meng Hetong's expression, Xu Yanquan couldn't help but joked: "Why, do you think it's hard at the border and regret coming here?"
Meng Hetong didn't even raise his eyes: "What's there to regret about this? Someone will always come! I just feel that the return date is long, and I don't know if it will delay my wedding date!"
Xu Yanquan and Xie Suyu looked at Meng Hetong at the same time, their eyes full of disgust. Even Xie Suyu, who had always been good-tempered, couldn't help but cursed: "I, a newlywed who got married soon, didn't say anything, and you haven't even gotten married yet. People, what nonsense are you moaning about here!"
Meng Hetong, who was moaning in vain, raised his head and looked up at the sky: "You are still newly married. You have been together for a year. What kind of newlywed do you think you are? You are called a little separation is better than a new marriage. It is not good to be together every day because you are tired of it! Separate for a while, They won't be thinking about you until they go back!"
Xie Suyu remembered that when she went to Hangzhou to handle a case before, when she came back, her wife was indeed taking care of her inside and out, and her eyes were shining when she looked at him. During that time, Xie Suyu felt that he was back with the family. The time when my wife first met.
Looking at Xie Suyu's expression, Meng Hetong knew that what he said was the truth, and couldn't help but laugh: "Look, Your Highness, your own expression has betrayed you. How can you who are married understand this?" It’s the bitterness of someone who has gone through so much trouble to get married, only to have to face a postponement of the wedding date!”
"When I return to Beijing, I must tell Mo Mo about your moaning and groaning appearance, so that she can see what kind of bitch her future husband looks like!" Xu Yanquan glanced at Meng Hetong, and then He took a sip of the wine in his hand and said, "I don't know if Mo Mo might break off the engagement with you because he dislikes you!"
"Of course not!" Meng Hetong looked at the stars in the sky and couldn't help laughing, "Your sister has a really stubborn temper. Tell me, if she really doesn't want to marry me, how could she? You just let go because of such a small threat. After all, your sister also likes me!"
Xu Yanquan naturally understands that Xu Qingmo is his biological sister. No one knows his sister better than him. With Xu Qingmo's temperament, if she is determined not to marry and Meng Hetong forces her, now Meng Hetong, this boy It's impossible to sit here and chat with them. Xu Qingmo might be stabbed to death some night!
"You won't be unable to catch up!" Xie Suyu put his arms around Meng Hetong's shoulders and comforted him softly, "If you don't believe in yourself, is it possible that you still don't believe in Marquis Ning Yuan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise not far away. Xu Yanquan immediately picked up his sword and stood up. Sure enough, the next moment there were shouts: "The city is under attack. The enemy is attacking the city. Quickly gather for defense!"
Meng Hetong glanced at the wine in his hand and poured it into the fire. Immediately, the bonfire burst into flames more than half a meter high. Meng Hetong picked up his sword and followed Xu Yanquan toward the city wall: "This welcome ceremony is really awesome. So grand!”
Xie Suyu also wanted to follow, but was stopped by the guards who came over: "Your Highness, you are only responsible for escorting the army rations. All you have to do is protect the rations!"
Xie Suyu glanced at the two people walking towards the city wall, looked back at the guards, and then led a small group of people directly to the granary. The people in the border town were in chaos. Northern Xinjiang suddenly tore up the treaty and threatened Princess Zhaoyang to attack the city. The temporarily closed city gate trapped many ordinary people who came to do business in the border town.
But even though they are common people in border towns, the population in Northern Xinjiang is sparse, and all the people are soldiers. Even women and children can be struck twice with a knife, so these ordinary people are also being detained as their last bargaining chip. .
However, there are also some people who escaped and hid in dark corners to survive, and these people are likely to become internal agents during the siege in Northern Xinjiang. During the siege, the barracks and city walls will be in chaos. At this time, if someone comes to set fire to their granary, then this battle will not need to be fought, and it will be declared a failure directly.
So although Xie Suyu wanted to go to the city wall to see what the enemy generals who were attacking the city looked like, at the moment, protecting the safety of the granary was obviously more important.
Meng Hetong climbed onto the city wall and looked up. There was a whole field of fire in the distance. He couldn't see the figures clearly and didn't see them coming forward. They were just standing there.
Xu Yanquan felt a little strange: "Didn't you say siege the city? Why didn't you come up?"
Fang Cheng rushed over in a hurry, his eyes still green and black: "It has always been like this during this period. They often lead people to encircle and suppress us in the middle of the night, but when they see the torches on our side light up, they can't stop. Then they stayed there until dawn, and then they all left again!"
Meng Hetong looked at the fatigue in Fang Cheng's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever sneaked out to see it?"
"At first, I thought it was strange, so I sent people to investigate. They were indeed soldiers from Northern Xinjiang. Because of my suspicion, the brothers who went out to investigate were injured!" Fang Cheng I feel a little guilty when I mention this.
"General Fang is just doing his job well, there is no need to feel guilty!" Xu Yanquan comforted.
Meng Hetong stood there, feeling strange no matter how he looked at it.
Let's talk about this person. No matter how well-trained he is, he is still a human being. If he is a human being, how can he be able to remain motionless?
Meng Hetong's eyesight was quite good, but he couldn't see clearly what was so far away in the dark night. He just kept staring at a torch. Except for the occasional flame blowing when the wind blew, the torch did not move at all. action, but looking at that height, it's clearly like he's holding his hands up.
He held his hands high like this for more than half an hour. If he were a real person, he would really be looked down upon.
"I think it's a bit like borrowing arrows from a straw boat!" Meng Hetong leaned into Xu Yanquan's ear and said, "Look at that hand, it's been held up for so long without moving, it's definitely not a human!"
"Do you want to take a look?" Xu Yanquan looked at Meng Hetong and directly stated his plan.
"Master Hou, no!" Fang Cheng quickly stopped him.
"Master Marquis, Master Marquis, I am a charge general now. I slipped out from the side door and went over to see if it was really a decoration. We don't need to play with them like this!" Meng Hetong looked at Fang Cheng and said softly. .
