Chapter 50 @050

The Great Zhou sent troops in the morning and fought fiercely for a day. At dusk, Nanping County was finally recaptured.

After a brief rest, Jing Yi sat upright in the lobby of the prefect, listening to his subordinates report on the casualties of the two armies in this battle. She had just returned from patrol and was wearing armor stained with the blood of the enemy. There was also a blood mark on her left face. Other people's face stuck to her jade-white face, which made this handsome and elegant prince-in-law exude a hideous and terrifying pressure for the first time.

General Liu and others were listed on both sides of the lobby. If they had only admired the extraordinary talent of the prince-consort before today, they had witnessed the prince-consort taking the lead with a silver spear, or taking off the enemy's sword or piercing the enemy's throat. The gun was fierce and brave, and it was hard to stop it. At this moment, they were already admired by the prince-consort.

He is worthy of being a descendant of the Xiao family and a direct disciple of the Duke Xu Guang!

Faced with the admiring eyes of the generals, Jing Yi ignored it and stared at the subordinates who were replying in the middle. She knew the situation best. Jing Yi had to force herself to concentrate on other things, otherwise once she relaxed, she could not help but think about the souls under the gun. When she thought about it, her hands could not control themselves.

Dali sent 8,000 elite troops to stay in Nanping County, with another 20,000 reinforcements, hoping to encircle and suppress the soldiers of the Dazhou who were sieging the city. Jing Yi personally led 10,000 soldiers to attack the city, and sent General Liu to fight against Dali reinforcements head-on, and then asked Hu Wu to lead 5,000 cavalry to the back of Dali reinforcements to cut off his retreat.

Compared with the casualties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nearly 30,000 soldiers in Dali were wiped out, and only more than 6,000 surrendered soldiers were left.

Is it kill or accept?

Jing Yi looked at her grandfather accustomed to her, but she didn't expect that this time, her grandfather secretly gave her a wink.

Without questioning, Jing Yi said coldly: "All prisoners will be killed without any slightest."

The messenger took the order and left.

After arranging the other generals' errands, Jing Yi spoke to his grandfather alone: ​​"Grandpa, why did you hint me?"

Are you afraid of her wife's kindness?

Xu Guang laughed and patted his grandson-in-law on the shoulder and said, "I will tell you to go and rest first."

Jing Yi was confused, but the elders didn't say it, so she could only wait. The guards in the backyard were ready for the things they needed to take a shower. Jing Yi first wiped off all the blood on her body outside, and then sat in the bathtub and closed her eyes tiredly. As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind came to her mind. The first person she killed in this life appeared.

That was a general in Dali, and the first time the coach of her was the head coach. During the battle, the enemy's contempt and grinning smile on the front of the city tower, and behind them were many soldiers of the Great Zhou cheering for her. In order to establish her authority, Jing Yi did not have the qualification to be timid and hesitant, and took the opponent's life in two moves and locked the throat with one shot.

Jing Yi didn't look at the man more, but she remembered that when the other party held the gun head under the gun before he died, the tremor from the gun rod was like a wave of blood, clearly conveying the passing of a life. There were other people, the enemy or the soldiers of the Great Zhou, whose eyes were horrified before he died, their arms that were chopped away, and their heads...

After a tummy rolled in her stomach, Jing Yi quickly jumped out of the bathtub, grabbed the bathrobe and put it on her body while running to the clean room, vomiting and retching. There was nothing in her stomach, and she only had one breakfast today, but she felt uncomfortable with retching and her legs gradually became weak.

Jing Yi fell to the ground, his eyes dazed.

A general was in great success and thousands of bones were bleak. She felt uncomfortable for the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and for the thousands of Dali soldiers. They could not decide whether to fight or not, and they could only obey the mercy of their respective emperors. If the Dali royal family had no ambitions, the soldiers of the foreign race would not have to die in a foreign land, and their families would not have to cry. If... her father had the virtue of a wise ruler, he would have been able to recruit wise men and enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the great Zhou would not have dared to covet even a mere Dali.

But she was just a general, and what she wanted to do was to attack the enemies who invaded the Great Zhou and harmed the people of the frontier.

After sitting in a daze for a moment, his body regained his strength, Jing Yi washed his face and ordered someone to serve food.

Only when you are full can you have the energy to continue doing what she should do.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, there is a letter coming to Pingcheng." Halfway through dinner, the guard walked to the front of the door.

Xu Guang, who was eating at the same table, smiled.

Jing Yi's cold expression couldn't help but ease a little. He was embarrassed to read the letters at home in front of his grandfather. He temporarily put them in his sleeves. After dinner, he went to the study room alone and pinched out a few thick pieces of letter paper from the envelope. After more than a month, the two of them would read letters every five days, and each time Xiao Ting sent a thick letter.

At the beginning, I asked her how she was doing recently, and the latter was full of daily chats.

"... Last time I told you, does the second girl from the shopkeeper of the wonton shop like you very much, and she wants to be a concubine for you. She is not even afraid of the princess and mothers. You must be very happy, right? Hahaha, Bai Gaoxing, a dark and tall rice-carrying worker came to eat wontons yesterday. The second girl secretly glanced at her several times, but she thought the other person was poor and didn't want to marry. I gave the rice-carrying worker twenty taels of silver. The second girl immediately agreed. She got married on the 10th of May and said she would invite me to a wedding banquet. How about it, your concubine ran away with someone else. Are you very angry?"

Jing Yi couldn't help laughing. After she came here, she quickly recovered two counties. The people of Yunzhong praised her very much. Xiao Ting went out for a walk without any trouble. Hearing those praises, he was honored at first, but later accidentally heard some girls joking about each other that they liked the prince-consort. Xiao Ting's tone changed, and he turned around and mocked her.

However, Jing Yi did not expect that Xiao Ting would even join in a marriage.

"...It's warm here. Just at the end of February, the peach blossoms in the yard were blooming. Mrs. Li made a plate of peach blossom cake in the kitchen, which was better than the ones in Beijing. I asked Mrs. Li if she wanted to go to Beijing. She didn't go there for two taels of silver a month, and said she wanted to coax her grandson at home. Since she didn't go, I had to learn from her how to make osmanthus cake. It tasted okay. Do you want to eat it? I'll make it for you when I want to eat it..."

Seeing this, Jing Yi's heart felt soft, but Xiao Ting said after a few lines: "Did you take it seriously when I said I would like to make osmanthus cake for you? I dreamed, I learned it to honor my grandmother. I traveled thousands of miles to the clouds, but you threw me here alone. I'm already generous enough if I don't beat you. I still want me to make pastries for you? Old... I haven't tasted your skills yet!"

Jing Yi still laughed, she could make pastries...

After reading a few pages of letters, Jing Yi gradually forgot the blood of the battlefield. After reading it again, when he saw the peach blossoms, Jing Yi felt aroused his heart, put the letter paper in his arms, and went to visit the house of the former prefect. After some bloodbathing, there were traces of fighting everywhere in the house, but the flowers and trees in the garden were basically intact. As expected, the peach blossoms and crabapples were all in bloom.

Jing Yi looked back and confirmed that no one was there, so he picked a peach blossom and hid it in his sleeve.

~

The letters from Jing Yi and Xiao Ting were all delivered by the old people brought by Xu Guang. The horse's hooves were so fast. After a while the next day, Xiao Ting received a reply from Jing Yi. Except for an inexplicable peach blossom, there was still only a thin piece of letter paper:

"Nanping County has been recovered, don't worry.

The peach blossoms in Nanping are also blooming, and I don’t know if the taste is the same as that in Pingcheng.

I heard that the princess had learned these pastries before she left the house, so I dare to ask which one of her favorite dishes."

In just three lines of characters, there are several cakes and foods commonly used by the empress dowager and the empress. When the princess learns to cook food, she must choose pastries and delicacies that cater to the elders such as the empress dowager, and learns to be filial to him. Xiao Ting often goes to the palace. When he sees that the pieces Jing Yi lists are all the favorites of the empress dowager, he guesses the intention of the teaching nanny.

Xiao Ting suddenly felt sad, as if he saw Jing Yi, who was twelve or 33 years old, was forced to learn something that was obviously not to her true preference with other princesses. Although she was a princess, she had lofty ambitions that were not inferior to men. Her hands should have held a pen and gun rather than fiddling with needles and threads, and was accustomed to making soup.

So when replying, Xiao Ting spoke in a bad tone: He doesn't like it, don't worry about fighting, don't think it's useless.

Jing Yi received the letter and was a little confused and didn't understand where he provoked him again.

But Jing Yi knew what Xiao Ting wanted the most.

In mid-March, the Great Zhou recaptured all five counties occupied by Dali. In mid-April, Jing Yi led his troops to capture two fortress cities in the northern border of Dali. Just when Jing Yi attacked the main city of Fengyang County, the largest county in the northern border of Dali, Dali surrendered to Qihe. Jing Yi first captured Fengyang City before temporarily rescheduling and ordered people to take Dali envoys to the capital to meet the sage.

Once the envoy leaves, it will take at least half a month before the capital will be sent to southern Xinjiang.

On the evening of the eighth day of the lunar month, after asking for instructions from my grandfather, Jing Yi secretly left Fengyang City and headed straight for Pingcheng 400 miles away. He rushed to Pingcheng overnight, took a short rest on the way, and finally arrived at Pingcheng before dark on the 9th day of the lunar month. The Great Zhou Dynasty was victorious, and the city was full of festiveness, and the shouts of the hawkers were louder than usual.

Jing Yi let out his horse and walked slowly. On the way to Xiaoting's villa, I don't know how much praise she praised her. These people gave all the credits of all the soldiers on her. Jing Yi was ashamed of it, but the people were just like this. When the general won a battle, they praised the general. When the general retreated step by step, the people scolded the general. Few people would analyze the reasons for the victory or defeat.

Xiao Ting lives in Fuhu District, and the streets are clean and elegant.

The guard was Xu Guang's secret guard who recognized Jing Yi and opened the door directly.

Jing Yi came quickly and whipped her horse. Now she was close, but she didn't know how to face Xiao Ting who had been separated for more than three months, and her pace was slow. However, this was a small house, only a few dozen steps from the front yard to the back yard. Jing Yi walked around the back yard and saw the quiet scenery of the courtyard. Just as she was about to find someone, a little maid walked out of the main hall.

The maid didn't know Jing Yi. There was a strange man in the lady's yard, and he had a cold face, which was particularly scary. The maid screamed "Ah" and blocked the door and shouted "boys". Those servants were Xu Guang's subordinates, and none of them showed up. Xiao Ting was lying on the couch and was shaking his fan. He heard that there was a thief, so he rolled over and walked to the window to look out.

As a result, as soon as he looked through his head, he met the "thief" who had already walked into the yard. He was wearing a dark summer robe, with a slightly dark face but extremely handsome, and a cold expression, but he wanted to take off her clothes immediately and fiercely...

"Pu" dropped the fan, Xiao Ting jumped off the ground with a man's agile posture, without even wearing shoes, and ran out barefoot. Jing Yicai stepped into the main hall, and Xiao Ting rushed out like a wind. Jing Yi subconsciously stabilized the lower plate, and then when Xiao Ting rushed in front of him, he grabbed Xiao Ting's raised legs with both hands, and his figure was as stable as a rock.

The movement was too big, and the little maid secretly glanced in. When she glanced, her cheeks turned red!

The lady is usually a bit unfair and likes to tease her, but she never thought that the lady would hang on a man in broad daylight, cross her legs around her waist, hold her neck, and kiss her mouth on her own initiative... It's even more impatient than street bullies bullying good women!
