The duckweeds penetrate the green brocade pond, and the summer orioles are chirping thousands of times on the roses. No one is watching the light rain all day long, and the mandarin ducks are bathing in red robes facing each other.
In the misty rain, Dou Rong and Xu Ziling stood side by side at the window, looking at the empty courtyard, silent for a long time.
On the night of their wedding, Han Qing led his troops out to put out a fire and stayed out all night. Then he only stayed for two nights when he came back, and then he was ordered to rush to Dengzhou to organize coastal defenses.
In the blink of an eye, less than half of the summer has passed, and the day when the couple can reunite again is still far away. To say that I have no regrets in my heart would be deceiving both others and myself.
"I should have insisted on disguising myself and followed him." Dou Rong patted the window edge with her hand and regretted in a low voice, "Back when I was in the Zhenrong Army, I followed him all day long, and Li Dujian didn't say anything. He broke the rules. Now that he is in charge of an army alone, there are even more rules!"
"Lang Jun is afraid that my sister will be in danger." Xu Ziling is older than Dou Rong, but she considers herself to be her younger sister. She sighs and explains softly, "In addition, Lang Jun's age and qualifications are not as good as those of General Li. In the military, , you must first take the lead in obeying the rules, and only then can the soldiers obey the orders and prohibitions."
"What qualifications do those people have to be dissatisfied? In terms of military exploits, none of them can match Lang Jun. In terms of skill, even if ten of them are tied together, I'm afraid they can't beat Lang Jun's spear and cavalry!" Dou Rong bit her silver teeth lightly and continued to murmur in a low voice. .The yearning on his face is far more than the regret.
Deep down in her heart, she didn't know that Xu Ziling's words made sense. When her husband went into battle with 20,000 hastily gathered troops and grain men, he must put the rules first in everything. Otherwise, just relying on With a certain title of prison official and more than 80 direct veterans under his command, how could all orders be carried out unimpeded?
However, the truth was the truth, but she couldn't bear it. Her husband was about to lead a hastily assembled team to fight against the powerful enemy, but she could only hide at home and sit there.
Especially compared with the past when the two fought side by side on the Yongxing Military Road, the gap between them was not as big as it was before. It made her miss the days when they relied on each other even though they were precarious.
"Of course they can't compare, but they have an excuse, and they do it in disguise!" Xu Ziling also knew that Dou Rong told herself this because she was too lonely, and it was not because she was really dissatisfied with Han Qing. Therefore, if you want to explain it, , there is no sentence at all. "In addition, sister, if you follow Lang Jun to Dengzhou, what will I do? If you are kidnapped by the thieves again, it will inevitably distract Lang Jun."
"We can change into men's clothes together and serve as his soldiers. I will be responsible for protecting you, and you will be responsible for taking care of your husband!" Dou Rong gave the answer smoothly without thinking, "This way, we don't have to be here every day. You are thinking about his safety. And if he is tired, you can rub his shoulders or play the piano to soothe his spirit."
"Hmm..." Xu Ziling's eyes instantly flashed the scene of the couple, playing the piano and singing in the midst of thousands of troops. Immediately, there was a hint of fascination in his eyes.
Legend has it that when the champion Hou Huo Qubing led his army deep into the Huns, he was accompanied by beauties. However, he did not delay him and went straight to the lair of the Huns.
And the beauty who accompanied him must have been filled with peace and pride in her heart to be taken by such an incredible hero.
Just as he was fascinated, Dou Rong's voice came to his ears again. It was more of a temptation than a discussion, "What do you think, the two of us have changed our servant's clothes and go to Dengzhou to find him? As long as we
If we do it carefully, who else in the army can find out whether we are male or female?"
"Isn't this bad?" Although Xu Ziling was older, she was far less thoughtful than Dou Rong. She was stunned and shook her head hesitantly, "Unless we can avoid seeing Lang Jun, he will definitely recognize him. Then he will recognize him.
, how could he not be angry?"
"You're angry, don't you know how to make him happy?" Dou Rong glared at her and scolded her angrily, "When he's at home, you always have a way to make him happy. How come you can't do anything at the critical moment?"
"I, I'm not, not..." Xu Ziling immediately blushed and waved her hands eagerly, "I, I..."
Of course she has plenty of ways to make Han Qing happy. However, those methods are, at best, part of the boudoir fun between husband and wife. How can they be used when her husband is really angry?
"Okay, I'm not complaining about you. I just think that we can't just sit at home!" Dou Rong also knew that her words just now were a bit reckless, so she grabbed Xu Ziling's hand and explained in a low voice, "Otherwise, no matter what happens over there,
It would be three days before the news, good or bad, reached home. We wanted to share it for him, but we couldn't. Besides, if we didn't go, there might be other women who would risk their lives to break into the military camp.
, fight side by side with him.”
"You mean Ye Qinglian?" Hearing Dou Rong's last words, Xu Ziling immediately lost her shyness. Her eyes were full of vigilance.
Qingzhou City is only as big as a palm. How could what happened outside on the wedding night never reach home? What's more, Han Qing is still following Dou Sha like a tail?
And having lived with Ye Qinglian like sisters for seven or eight years, how could Xu Ziling have no understanding of her temperament.
He really doesn't care about the world's eyes and secular etiquette, and only acts based on personal likes and dislikes. Although in Ye Qinglian's heart, she wishes someone would send troops to destroy the Song Dynasty court. But when it comes to Han Qing, she may not stand with the enemy.
side.
Although Han Qing was afraid that she would be in trouble, so he took the initiative to give her a sum of money to let her leave Jingdong East Road. She herself would not necessarily stand by and watch.
"I am willing to be your sister because you would rather bang your neck against the blade than drag Han Lang down!" Dou Rong changed her innocence from before the marriage, sighed again, and shook her head gently, "
However, I don’t want the person who was chasing me and Lang Jun, who wanted to chop us to death on the spot, to enter this house. Zi Ling, don’t laugh at me for being petty. I never feel wronged in my heart.
He even put on a smile."
"I know, it would be the same if my sister and I were to get along with each other!" Xu Ziling was stunned and nodded guiltily.
In order not to embarrass Han Qing, she spent a lot of time on Dou Rong. Dou Rong seemed to be moved by her sincerity and accepted her easily.
Looking back now, I am afraid that Dou Rong suppressed her grievances in order not to embarrass Han Qing at the beginning. In fact, it may not be that easy to believe her sincerity.
"If you don't go, I will go by myself. Anyway, my grandfather is here to take charge. As long as you don't go out easily, the thieves will never dare to come to the house!" Dou Rong suddenly let go of her hand, with a long-lost expression on her face.
Decisive. "When I followed him, I didn't follow the rules. Now, I don't believe it. After we get married, he is willing to see me hiding at home all day long, never leaving the door, never taking a step forward."
"I, I..." Xu Ziling's heart suddenly became very confused. She was worried about the consequences of disobeying her husband's instructions, but also couldn't help but face the temptation of all wind and rain with her husband.
Just when he was hesitating, he saw that Dou Rong had turned back to the bedroom and started to pack her clothes for going out. She gritted her teeth and followed quickly. "I, I don't trust you going out alone. I have to follow you.
you!"
Dou Rong turned her head and smiled at her. In an instant, the expression on her face was as bright as spring.
