Seeing Xue Xichen's dull and quiet face, she didn't know what she was thinking. Du Ziying gently pressed Xue Xichen's shoulder and asked her with her eyes. Xue Xichen showed a soft smile to Du Ziying. "I'm fine. It's just that. But suddenly I remembered some past events..."
When Feng Qingge heard this, she couldn't help but look at Xue Xichen, staring at her suddenly sad face. She suddenly wanted to know in her heart whether her sadness at the moment was because of him...
Du Ziying was the first to break the strange silence. He took the initiative to speak. "Guys, I just heard Xue'er say that you are looking for me. Why, I have met a few of you."
Xiao Liuyue smiled and said: "When we first entered Baidi City, we heard about the reputation of General Du. It was like thunder. We admired it in our hearts. We really wanted to make friends with General Du. I heard that Miss Xue'er knew General Du. That's why I wanted Miss Xue'er to be a middleman. .”
"Haha." Du Ziying laughed and said humbly, "Where is it? It's just a false name. You three are too polite. I hear their accent. They don't sound like locals. I don't know where they come from."
"Jiangdu."
"It turns out that the three of them are from Jiangdu. The city of Jiangdu is well-known as a fertile place in the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangdu has outstanding people and many strange people. I think the three of them are full of square courtyards, high-spirited, ambitious, and extraordinary. I believe they must be great. It has a background."
"Hahahahahaha." Xiao Liuyue laughed. "It turns out that General Du can read faces. I wonder what General Du thinks the three of us do." He picked up the wine glass and drank slowly.
"Well..." Du Ziying also picked up the wine glass, played with her fingertips, and answered nonchalantly. "This Mr. Feng is red-faced, domineering, well-spoken, and full of energy. He looks like an official. And he is a big shot. Official."
"Oh." Xiao Liuyue smiled. "What about Mr. Leng?"
"This Young Master Leng sits like a bell and stands like a pine. He has sharp eyes and a majestic demeanor. He behaves like a military man. If my prediction is correct, Young Master Leng should belong to the Ministry of War. His official rank is above the second rank. He is probably a general."
"Haha. Interesting. Then General Du, look at me."
"This young master is not easy to guess." Du Ziying looked at Xiao Liuyue seriously for a long time, shook her head and sighed. "Young Master Xiao is unrestrained and unrestrained. His speech and behavior are informal. He does not look like someone who has entered the court as an official."
"He is a doctor." Xue Xichen muttered.
Xiao Liuyue looked at Xue Xichen with interest. "How does Miss Xueer know that I am a doctor?"
"You have the fragrance of herbs on your body. It's not intentional. It's the result of playing with herbs all year round. It's easy to judge." It's a waste of words. If I didn't even know this little habit of yours, I would be your junior sister for nothing.
Xiao Liuyue accepted Xue Xichen's argument. He said: "Miss Xue'er is right. I am just a doctor who plays with herbal medicine."
"It turns out that Mr. Xiao is a doctor." Du Ziying suddenly realized and said with cupped hands. "Disrespect. Disrespect. Mr. Xiao. Xue'er was saved by Mr. Xiao when she was in danger. Xue'er was safe and sound. Ziying would like to thank Mr. Xiao for this."
Xiao Liuyue waved her hand. "Where are you? General Du is too polite. Doctors have the duty to treat illnesses and save people. They don't need any reward. Besides, Miss Xue'er was saved by Qingge. Liuyue doesn't dare to take credit."
Xue Xichen joked: "General Du, one person here is an official, one is a soldier, and one is a doctor. Do you think something good will happen if they get together?"
Du Ziying was stunned. Leng Junyi was stunned. Xiao Liuyue laughed. Feng Qingge shook her head repeatedly. "Xue'er, your little mouth is really poisonous." Even so, she was full of doting and not angry at all. mean.
Xue Xichen narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "Smart people are not tired of talking to smart people. You guys have come all the way. It must not just be to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Baidi City. As soon as you arrived in Jiangdu, you asked to see Du by name. General, could it be that this westward journey is related to the northwest military defense?"
"Miss Xue'er has such sharp eyes." It was a sincere admiration. At the same time, it also made Xiao Liuyue wary. How could such a powerful woman hit the mark with one word and be the thing in the pool.
There is something in Xiao Liuyue's words. "Miss Xue'er, as the saying goes, women don't discuss politics. The smarter a woman is, the more she should know how to hide herself. Are you right?"
Xue Xichen raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Xiao, what you said is wrong. You are not from the court. Xue'er is just chatting with the officials here. How can we talk about political affairs?"
Xiao Liuyue raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Miss Xue'er is right. Liu Yue made a mistake. Miss Xue'er seems to have her own unique views on the northwest military defense."
Xue Xichen supported her chin with one hand and said with a smile: "I guess they must have come here for the unique 'rain of flowers' on the tower of Baidi City. My guess is not wrong."
Xiao Liuyue smiled and said: "Miss Xue'er is very smart. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
"Oh. The sky is full of flowers and rain." Du Ziying drank a glass of wine and laughed loudly. "So you are interested in 'the sky is full of flowers and rain'."
Leng Junyi said: "The northwest fortress. Baidi is naturally dangerous. The terrain of Baidi City is dangerous. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is also a 'rain of flowers' in the city tower, which frightens the enemy. This 'rain of flowers in the sky' is originally a sign on the city tower. The secret door mechanism. When the mechanism is triggered, thousands of arrows will shoot out. They are as thin as ox awns. They cover the sky and the earth. They look like heavy rain from the sky. They are as fine as weaving. No one under the city tower can be spared. Hence the name."
Xiao Liuyue said: "I heard that there was no such mechanism on the tower of Baidi City originally. Later, General Du was promoted to the deputy commander of the city gate army. He specially asked craftsmen to build this mechanism. The first time the 'Rain of Flowers' was used. In the battle against the Hu people two years ago, General Du destroyed 30,000 enemy troops without using a single soldier. It can be called a miracle in the history of war. So far, the "rain of flowers in the sky" has become famous all over the world. It has never been seen before. Dare to invade Baidi City."
"I am indeed very interested in the 'Rain of Flowers in the Sky'." Feng Qingge said immediately. "If General Du allows me, I would like to see with my own eyes the power of the Rain of Flowers in the Sky."
Du Ziying said leisurely and slowly: "Do you know the origin of 'Rain of Flowers in the Sky'?"
Everyone shook their heads. Their interested eyes were fixed on Du Ziying without blinking.
Du Ziying said slowly under the gaze of everyone: "The designer of 'Rain of Flowers' is a man with an eccentric personality, an eccentric temper, and eccentric behavior. His name is Han Qiulin. I wonder if you have ever heard of it."
Cold autumn forest.
Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi looked at each other. They had never heard of this sentence before. Xiao Liuyue pondered. He said: "Han Qiulin... I seem to have heard this name somewhere... He is from the Wushuang sect. "
Hearing this, Xue Xichen raised her head and glanced at Xiao Liuyue.
"As Mr. Xiao said, Han Qiulin is a member of the Wushuang Sect. However, the fact that Han Qiulin is a member of the Wushuang Sect is not widely known to the world. Most of the people who know this are people from the Wushuang Sect. It seems like... ..." Du Ziying chuckled. It sounded like a two-thirds calculation. "Young master Xiao is also a person from the Wushuang sect."
