Jiang Sheng will definitely be a good candidate to lead the army in war from now on!
After Li Yuan and Wang Jingyao arrived at the inn three miles south of the city, they saw at a glance that the accompanying Imperial Army had set up camp in an orderly manner, and Liu Jiangsheng was leading the two sergeants to practice in the autumn wind, and the other sergeants also started During the shift patrol, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Li Yuhou!"
"Li Yuhou!"
Wherever Li Yuan passed, the sergeants looked at him in awe. He waved his hands with a smile, and everyone continued to perform their duties.
Liu Jiangsheng, who was sweating profusely, trotted over and asked nervously: "Brother Yuan, how is the situation in the city?" Then he looked behind Li Yuan and asked doubtfully: "Mess Yao is not back?"
"It's always inconvenient for women in the military camp. She said she wanted to catch up with her mother and catch up on old times, so I agreed."
At the same time, Li Yuan looked back at the inn where there were many soldiers. He knew in his heart that Wang Jingyao must still be worried at this time. As the saying goes, it is hard work, so it is better to let her have a good night's sleep first.
Then he said to Liu Jiangsheng: "I have a general understanding of the situation of the Wang brothers..." Li Yuan took the trouble to repeat it to Liu Jiangsheng. After all, it is difficult to predict what will happen in two days.
Liu Jiangsheng listened for a long time, his face became more and more gloomy, and finally said in a low voice: "This younger brother of the Wang family is indeed restless, but the root cause is still the scourge of Ma Liu! If he is kept, I don't know how many people will suffer! And I don't know the governor of Chuzhou. , How worthy is it that these thieves are causing trouble right under your nose! There must be something involved here!"
Li Yuan stared at Liu Jiangsheng in surprise for a moment. He had never thought that his brother, who was always honest and talkative, would rarely make such remarks. He waved his hand in front of Liu Jiangsheng's eyes and said with a smile: "Jiang Sheng, what you said today really surprised me! Then tell me, what does this Chuzhou governor have to do with Ma Liu?"
Liu Jiangsheng scratched his head and replied: "I don't know what the relationship is."
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "Then what do you think should be done next?"
Liu Jiangsheng unexpectedly gave a stern look: "Brother Yuan, didn't you just say that Mr. Xu will come to look for us in two days? If there is news about Ma Liu by then, We must seize this scourge and show it to Governor He! By the way, find out the boss behind it! My brothers and I are waiting for your military orders at any time!"
Li Yuan nodded, patted Liu Jiangsheng's breastplate and said with a smile, "Well done! It seems like you didn't do this for nothing!"
Liu Jiangsheng was praised, so he naturally laughed innocently again, then bowed his hands to Li Yuan, then turned around and continued to practice with the sergeants.
At night, Li Yuan was worried and couldn't sleep. It wasn't that the guest rooms in the inn were a bit shabby, but that he wasn't sure whether he could save Wang Jingguo this time. After tonight, there were only four days left. At the moment, he only hoped that what Xu Kuangheng said was true and that he could really bring news about Ma Liu. At the same time, I don’t know if Luo Erhu has arrived in Yangzhou...
With a "squeak", Wang Jingyao gently walked out of the door. The recent experience was like a nightmare, lingering in her mind all the time. And today has been a big ups and downs, and it still feels like I'm in a dream, and I haven't fully come back to my senses.
She looked at the dim moonlight in the night sky and let out a long sigh. Her parents and uncle, who were once the closest to her, passed away one after another, and her younger brother suffered another disaster. She felt like the clouds in the sky, which would be easily dispersed sooner or later. And Li Yuan reappeared, using his familiar hands to pull himself out of the quagmire again. I also fantasize about it, will these hands reshape my life? It seems that as long as you stay by his side, those upsets will go away from you.
It's a pity that I am no longer the same person I used to be, and Brother Yuan is not the same person I used to be. At dusk, Wang Jingyao heard from Liu's few words that Li Yuan would marry Miss Zhou in the near future. She wanted to be happy for Li Yuan, but for some reason, she couldn't laugh no matter how hard she tried.
Wang Jingyao, you are just a rootless tree, so why should you expect to be planted in his heart?
While there was still some light, Wang Jingyao raised her hand to take off the crescent bead flower on her head, and held it under the moon with both hands. Those memories of the past were her few remaining treasures...
"Can't you sleep?"
Wang Jingyao turned around hurriedly and saw Li Yuan walking towards her with a smile. In a moment of panic, the pearl flower in his hand fell to the ground.
Li Yuan bent down, with the moonlight shining on him, he gently picked up the crescent bead flower, and said with a smile: "My mother gave this to you, keep it well."
Wang Jingyao quickly took it, but did not reinsert it into her bun. Instead, she held it tightly and showed a forced smile to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was looking at her face carefully and was speechless. Wang Jingyao hurriedly touched her already washed cheek subconsciously, frowning slightly, as if she remembered the scene when Li Yuan kissed her in front of Wang Jingguo today, and her eyes suddenly became panicked.
"You are indeed as beautiful as before." Li Yuan saw the sadness and panic in her eyes, then stepped forward, hugged Wang Jingyao and said softly: "I have never forgotten you, and I will never forget you in the future. Jingguo If he is your brother, he is also my brother. You don’t need to worry."
Wang Jingyao's heartbeat was beating fast. She was the same age as Li Yuan and had already passed the age of ignorance. Hearing the meaning of Li Yuan's words, he hid his crimson face on Li Yuan's chest and just said: "Brother Yuan, I will definitely repay you for everything you have done for me."
"No need." Li Yuan responded casually, but he hugged her tighter. His eyes just stayed on the imperfect waning moon in the sky, as if it would become round after a few more glances.
But then I heard Wang Jingyao whisper in her arms: "Aunt Liu said that you are getting married, it is the young lady of the Zhou family... I am very happy. If my brother is safe and sound, I will I will repay you. After that, I will lead my brother to live peacefully..."
These nonsense words made Li Yuan frown slightly and couldn't help but say: "What are you doing? Do you think I will ignore you after I get married? Or do you think I will dislike you? I will not you?"
Wang Jingyao pursed her lips, sighed for a while and said: "Brother Yuan, my life is not good, don't delay your future because of me..."
Li Yuan lowered his head and was surprised to find that his clothes were stained with tears. He hugged Wang Jingyao tightly and said, "How could you miss my future?"
At this time, he couldn't help but think that it wasn't my mother who told her about me marrying Miss Zhou. This Yao girl misunderstood her mother's intention? It's really heartbreaking how she, who is obviously cheerful and loves to laugh, has become so ashamed of herself.
Li Yuan looked into Wang Jingyao's eyes with emotion, and said sincerely and firmly: "Since you have met me, you are destined to have a good life. I will take you back to Jinling and give you a title! As for Miss Zhou, I will meet you She said. Do you believe me?"
Wang Jingyao seemed to be stunned for a while, then gently put her hands on Li Yuan's broad shoulders, stood on tiptoes, and a refreshing fragrance immediately came.
The moon was waning in the sky, and it was so quiet that the only sound was the heavy breathing of the two people.
