Chapter 70 Relentless pursuit
The bed collapsed!
In the middle of the night, Xu Buling held two wooden boards and squatted in the boudoir, gently repairing the silly wife's embroidered bed.
Ning Yuhe was worried about being discovered, so she returned to her yard early; on the carved soft couch in the boudoir, Xiao Xianger and Zhongli Jiujiu were wrapped in spring quilts, lying together like caterpillars.
Xiao Xiang'er only showed a charming face, and her apricot eyes were a little disappointed. She still complained: "What a broken prince's mansion? The four of them collapsed. I have never seen such a bad furniture since I was a child. It's really an eye-opener~"
Zhongli Jiujiu was embarrassed and paid attention to the outside: "You whisper softly, let people discover it, sister, I will have no shame to live..."
Xu Buling looked a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but talk when he was scolded by his wife. He honestly repaired the bed and hugged the two of them and put them back. He wanted to continue, but was kicked out by the frightened Jiujiu with his legs.
Xu Buling knew that he had treated his wife badly, and lay down on the soft collapse in disappointment. He closed his eyes and narrowed his eyes for a while, and the sky became dark.
I didn't sleep well last night, and Xu Buling was embarrassed to wake up the two people who had just fallen asleep. He got up and put on his clothes lightly. After washing and having a meal, he came to the meeting hall and started handling business with the early royal family think tank.
The 50,000 army is not too many, but it is definitely not too many. There are also engineers, civilians, pack horses, etc. behind them. There are two servants in each cavalry, and the actual number is definitely more than 50,000. Just the logistics of food and grass, and the marching dispatch will take several days to prepare, and there will be no mistakes.
After the negotiation, it was already noon. Xu Buling took his spare time and arrived at the sea of flowers outside Suzhou City.
In mid-February, under the soothing of the spring breeze, the sea of flowers by the Yuanyang Lake looks almost the same day. At this time, all the flowers bloom and you can smell the fragrance of flowers half a mile away.
When he arrived in the sea of flowers, Xu Buling had not yet walked to the wooden house, he was on the terrace of the wooden house far away. Cui Xiaowan, wearing a warm yellow skirt, held a small wooden stick in her hand, and hurriedly scolded:
"Don't bite it, why are you so fierce..."
On the edge of the terrace, the little black dog and the big yellow dog hid in the corner with horror in their eyes and shivered. They stood up against the corner of the wall, tilted their heads and waved their claws and kept waving.
The big white goose that recovered from the long journey, waving its big wings, biting one of Ah Huang's hind legs fiercely, and dragging it outwards, looking like a rich family who forced a snatch of a private girl. The scene was terrible.
Cui Xiaowan was not very brave, and she was holding a small wooden stick but didn't dare to hit her. She hid behind the recliner, with a little angry eyes, but she had no choice but to wave the small wooden stick helplessly:
"If you bite again, I'll stew you later, I'll tell you seriously..."
Xu Buling was amused and laughed at this scene, so he quickly jumped onto the terrace and lifted Prince Bai who was acting violently.
The little black dog and Ah Huangru were pardoned and rushed into the puppy kennel just built next to the wooden house, and even brought the fence door.
When Cui Xiaowan saw Xu Buling coming, the annoyance on her face subsided and she said with a crisp voice:
"Hey, where did you find the goose? You are not obedient at all. I came here yesterday afternoon and started chasing the dog and biting it. I was afraid that it would bite the dog to death and dared not sleep."
Xu Buling threw the big white goose into the sea of flowers and smiled and said, "It can't bite Ah Huang to death, just make a joke. A girl as weak as Yufu can calm him down. If you hit him a few times, he will not dare to be fierce."
Cui Xiaowan didn't know Song Yufu and said softly: "Is it your woman's goose? Then you can't stew it anymore. I still want to stew a pot of goose soup."
Xu Buling waved his hand quickly: "You can't stew it. If you stew it, Yufu will definitely stew me. It's good to keep it as a playmate."
When Cui Xiaowan saw that the big white goose was helpless outside the dog cage, she put it aside for a while. She leaned against the wall, ran back to the wooden house, took the teacup and teapot from it, took out a plate of melon seeds, sat down next to the recliner, raised her hand and pointed to another recliner:
"Xu Xian lifted Bai Snake's quilt and saw what did he see?"
Judging from this anxious look, I obviously waited for a whole day.
Xu Buling sat on the recliner and continued yesterday's topic: "I saw a big white snake with a thick waist, covered with white scales and red fangs, which scared Xu Xian to death and his soul was scattered, and he swallowed on the spot..."
The spring breeze blows in the sea of flowers, and the wind chimes at the eaves make a crisp sound.
Cui Xiaowan sat on the side of the lounge chair, pouring tea and peeling melon seeds. She listened to Xu Buling's serious statement just like yesterday, and sometimes asked a few questions that she didn't understand.
But Xu Buling was about to lead the army to fight and could no longer drink tea and tell stories as slowly as yesterday. When it comes to the White Snake stealing fairy grass to save Xianxian Xu, he did not leave the introduction and left the suspense, and said:
"Miss Cui, yesterday, the emperor rushed to Chang'an City. The emperor urgently summoned the Xiliang army into the pass and quelled the rebellion of the three kings in the east and pointed out that I would take charge. I am afraid that I will leave Xiliang and enter Guanzhong in the past two days. I will not be able to tell you this in a short time."
Cui Xiaowan was mentally prepared, but she was still a little disappointed in her eyes. She withdrew her gaze, leaned on the recliner, and turned to the sea of flowers outside:
"War is to avoid fighting. I know the importance of it. Just don't be as good as the emperor."
Xu Buling shook his head and said, "The Emperor and I are not the same type of people. We care more about our family members. However, no matter how fast the rebellion is, it will take a lot of time. It takes more than one or two months to march from Suzhou to Chang'an. We will meet the soldiers of the three kings in the east and conquer each other's cities and villages. Then the time is not accurate. It takes as long as one or two years, and it is possible for seven or eight years. Miss Cui..."
Cui Xiaowan Zhanyan smiled and said, "You just need to fight with peace of mind, don't worry about me. I've been in the mountain for so many years and it's the same here."
Xu Buling seemed a little hesitant, but Cui Xiaowan liked to live alone, so he didn't want to say much, and said with a smile:
"Then I'll try to go and go back as early as possible."
"Well, go to you... it's not right. I hope the young master will return in triumphantly."
"Haha, I'll borrow the auspicious words of the girl."
Xu Buling smiled, but didn't stay, so he got up and jumped off the terrace, walking towards the periphery of the Flower Sea.
Cui Xiaowan leaned on the lounge chair and watched the figure in white gradually drift away. She felt that the scene was a bit similar to that dusk in the canyon. Her smile gradually faded away, but she didn't say anything.
After Xu Buling walked far away, he turned around and raised his hand to say goodbye.
Cui Xiaowan also raised her hand and shook it. After Xu Buling disappeared at the end of the sea of flowers, she stood up. As usual, she picked up a small hoe and shovel and began to organize the endless sea of flowers outside the terrace.
But not long after, Eunuch Jia, who was fishing by the Yuanyang Lake, walked back, stood behind Cui Xiaowan, and looked in the direction where Xu Buling disappeared:
"War is not a day or night. I'm afraid it's hard for girls to wait for this trip."
Cui Xiaowan didn't look up and dig the flower seedlings seriously: "What am I waiting for him to do? If you are bored, you can go to find my mother and Miss Ning, or tell stories to that girl Jiujiu, and go to hot springs to take a lot of things to do."
Eunuch Jia put his hands together and shook his head, "He took away all the women around him, and left you here alone."
Cui Xiaowan paused and turned her head: "Why did he still bring women when he goes out to fight?"
Eunuch Jia was a little helpless: "I don't know either. After everyone left, we were left with two dogs and one goose, which seemed to be meaningless. Miss Cui, do you think you will go back to Youzhou or follow me?"
Cui Xiaowan was silent for a moment and inserted the small shovel on the ground, feeling a little unhappy: "I thought he left all his family in Suzhou, but I said that just now, because I was afraid that he would make things difficult for him. I had already told him that I would not leave, so I couldn't go back on my word. What should I do now?"
Eunuch Jia understood the meaning and sighed softly: "I'll think of a solution. I originally wanted to bury it in this place, but it seems that there is no chance."
"Just come back after the war~"
