Chapter 151 Consumption

Yunliu finally got her wish and was eunuch in Shenxi's tent for the first time since the southern expedition.

With this night, it seems that the hard work of the journey is nothing. She even feels a little bit of gratitude in her heart, feeling that she is finally no longer lonely, with the warmth of her family and the care of her lover... From any perspective, Chen Xi is considered a perfect man.

Yunliu couldn't imagine what would happen in the future. She knew that it was very likely that she would lose Chen Xi's favor in a few years. She could only take advantage of her youth and attract more attention from Chen Xi. She cared most about having the status of Chen Xi's concubine, giving birth to a son, and having a place to read and read, and having a good time.

As for Chen Xi's love, it was a kind of happiness like in the clouds. She dared not ask for too much, and she was also a very easy woman to be content.

After a little excitement, Yun Liu fell asleep peacefully, but in the middle of the nightmare, she was so scared that she screamed in surprise by the sudden nightmare. When she sat up in sweat, she found that Chen Xi was no longer in her tent, and she suddenly lost her appearance. It was a fear of gain and loss, and she was worried that everything in front of her was like an illusory cloud of smoke.

Just when Yun Liu was at a loss, the curtain of the tent opened and someone came in outside. Because the night was dark, she couldn't see who the person was, but her voice was extremely familiar: "Why, have you had a nightmare?"

It's Chenxi.

Hearing this voice, Yun Liu felt relieved. She wanted to say something, but found that she was in front of Shen Xi in such a private occasion, and she couldn't even say a word. She hoped to get the mercy of Chen Xi, and she was not qualified to seek love as her identity.

"Um!"

Finally, Yun Liu could only nod and replied slightly.

Chen Xi sat down beside the bed and explained: "I got up in the middle of the night and urinated. I went out and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you... Don't worry, dreams are contrary to reality. I see bad things in my dreams, but reality must be very good, so you don't have to worry, sleep well!"

Yunliu had never heard Chen Xi talk to people so casually. What she now felt was a kind of considerate care. Chen Xi used to only appear in front of the Shen family's female family, but now, Chen Xi finally regarded her as a person by her pillow and no longer kept people away from each other as before.

Yun Liu said: "I've... been asleep almost all the time, can I accompany you... huh?"

As soon as Yun Liu said this, a huge feeling of fatigue suddenly surged and she couldn't help but yawn. Unfortunately, she had already said half of the words, and it was not appropriate to take them back.

Chen Xi noticed her condition, grabbed her hand gently, and whispered: "If you are sleepy, keep sleeping. I am not sleepy at all now... Maybe these days are always because I am hiding and coming out at night, making me a little like a night owl. The deeper the night, the better the spirit. You are different from me. You are already suffering from severe sleep. If you rest more, you will be more energetic to do things tomorrow!"

Yunliu tried hard to look at Chenxi. In the dim light, Chenxi's face seemed extremely deep. Yunliu couldn't help but feel admiration, but then she felt that this man was far away from her heart.

She couldn't help but think of Xier. She finally got what she wanted, but Xier was still lonely. She felt guilty and felt that she had snatched away what should belong to her sister and was sorry for her friend's trust. She always wanted to speak for Xier, but she was afraid that Chen Xi would blame her, and then she lost trust and favor for her.

Yunliu asked, "Sir, you still have to review the official documents so late?"

Chen Xi smiled and patted Yun Liu's back of the hand: "I said that I am a night owl and I will rest during the day tomorrow. We will be stationed outside Linguicheng for a while, so we don't have to think too much about it for the time being. We can slow down the eradication of the rebels. I think they dare not attack the camp, so why not take the opportunity to relax."

“Can you relax at this time?”

Yunliu could not understand Chen Xi's mentality. She was in the same era as Chen Xi, but her thoughts were very different. Chen Xi cared about psychological adjustment and knew how to combine work and rest. Yunliu put too much pressure on herself, and everything was around others, but she didn't think much about herself.

Chen Xi covered Yunliu with a quilt and stood up: "Go to bed, remember to change into men's clothes tomorrow morning. You came out of my slept account, no one dared to say anything. Your performance has been outstanding recently. Everyone thinks you are an indispensable person around me. Since you went to the battle, you have made the most contributions, but I can't show you the best!"

Yunliu was a little shy: "Sir, I'm sorry!"

Chen Xi stared at her stern face and glared at her dissatisfaction, making a sound of "Huh?" from her throat. Yun Liu then reacted and called her respectfully: "Master!"

The name exit, she was so shy that she was extremely shy. She closed her eyes slightly and her head drooped. The feeling of living with Chen Xi at night made her heart beat faster, and an unspeakable pleasure hit her heart.

Chen Xi said: "That's right. I know what you are thinking. You feel that it's not worth it for Xier, but what I want to say is that you and Xier are different in many aspects. I appreciate you more among you, so I accepted you first. As for when you will accept Xier, it depends on luck, alas!"

"I haven't figured out some things yet. For the family, I feel that I have not done enough and don't want to involve more people and things. You take good care of yourself first and don't have to feel guilty about Xier!"

Yun Liu looked a little confused, and didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head slightly to indicate that he had heard Chen Xi's words.

Chen Xi did not continue to speak, and left the tent while the night was dark, headed to the central army's tent, and processed the official documents at night.

...

...

Chenxi stationed troops in the suburbs of Linguicheng, where the capital of Guangxi Province is located. Here, Chenxi does not have to worry about the rebels' attacks for the time being, and does not rush to lead troops into the city. He was suddenly much more relaxed.

For him, the errands sent by the court were basically completed, and he would not consider completely eliminating all the rebels. He would not be able to solve all ethnic minorities in the southwest for ten or eight years. It would be better to deal with matters based on appeasement from the beginning.

After all, Chenxi grew up in western Fujian, and there are many ethnic minorities there. In order to prevent ethnic disputes, the people have created some unique buildings in the local area, such as earthen buildings and earthen castles.

The day after Chenxi arrived in Lingui, the Sansi Yamen still sent people out of the city to contact each other. This time the supplies sent to comfort the soldiers were relatively abundant, but Guilin Mansion was originally in the adjustment period after the siege, and the materials were scarce. It was not easy to send some, so it was not easy to ask for too much.

Su Jingyang and Wang He went to take over. After returning, they both ran to Chenxi to complain. There was a very difficult thing, which was that the military supplies were consumed sharply. Because the supply lines from Jiangxi and Huguang to Guangxi were long, Chenxi could not get support from Guangxi, so it was difficult to raise troops.

"...Sir, if you continue to waste this, I'm afraid the army's food and grass will last for less than ten days, and the soldiers will not be able to go to the battlefield if they were hungry! If I had known this, I would have transported more people here!" Su Jingyang complained that he was hindsight and never considered the actual situation.

Chenxi Road: "Transportation? How to transport? Can we supply food and supplies in Huguang and Jiangxi? Now the whole country is tightening its belt and raising funds to repair the damaged Great Wall and city walls in the northwest. It would be good to have food to eat. Let me know with the soldiers, since we don't marching now, we will reduce the food rations as appropriate. During the day, we can organize fishing and hunting in the river to supplement consumption."
