Chapter two hundred and thirteen: Fanwai - Qingye Yuwang (3)
"Oh, this girl, how much wine did you drink yesterday? Why are you still sleeping?"
Mei Shiniang put the half-year-old Xiao Qingze in her arms on the bed and went to pull Xiao Qingyu who was buried in the quilt.
Xiao Qingyu was woken up by Cheng, frowned, put his hands on his eyes to block the light, and muttered: "Mom, just let me sleep for a while. I have spent the past two days dealing with those bandits.
Yes, I’m exhausted.”
Mei Shiniang reached out to take off her hand and pinched her face: "Do you still want to follow your grandfather back to the camp?"
When Xiao Qingyu heard this, she immediately opened her eyes and sat up from the bed. She said excitedly: "Auntie, are you saying that my grandfather has given me permission to return to the camp?!"
Seeing how Xiao Qingyu sobered up as soon as she heard that she could return to the camp, Mei Shiniang smiled and poked her forehead with her finger: "There is a war ahead today. Originally, your grandfather would stay in the mansion for two days, but now
We are about to set off to go back, and you happen to be going back with me. You came back after destroying two flags yesterday, and I think your grandfather has already calmed down."
Mei Shiniang patted her again and said, "But don't make your own decisions in the future. It's taboo to mobilize troops without permission. Your grandfather's punishment for you this time is quite light. Your father will take all the blame."
If you get hurt, please take care of me and feel sorry for your father. If you make a mistake next time, you will get the blame yourself, do you understand?!"
"I know, grandma!"
Xiao Qingyu happily jumped up from the bed. Xiao Qingze, who was sitting on the bed, was knocked down by her actions. In anger, he stretched out his hand to hit her.
Xiao Qingyu smiled happily, hugged his half-year-old brother, kissed him twice, jumped out of bed, got fully dressed in a few moments, and simply tied his hair into a big ponytail. He quickly washed himself and ran out the door.
Mei Shiniang looked at her furious appearance, smiled and shook her head, picked up Xiao Qingze and followed her out.
As soon as Xiao Qingyu arrived at the gate of Xiao Mansion, he saw the soldiers in the mansion preparing some supplies for transportation.
She ran out of the corridor with her spear in hand. She originally wanted to show off in front of Xiao Yan, but thinking that her father had been punished for her, she decided not to be too arrogant.
Xiao Qingyu walked aside, waited for them to pack their things, and then followed them back to the border camp.
"Hey, Second Prince, why are you here?"
At a glance, Xiao Qingyu saw that the prince whom his mother asked him to meet yesterday was also standing silently aside.
Zhao Yelin just saw Xiao Qingyu running towards him from a distance. When he heard her inquiry, he said: "Go to the camp with General Xiao."
After hearing this, Xiao Qingyu smiled, clenched his fist and hit his shoulder: "You are so thin-skinned and tender, so you should stay in our Xiao Mansion. It is not as comfortable in the military camp as in the mansion."
Zhao Yelin said: "Then why are you going? You are a woman."
Xiao Qingyu raised his chin and said with a stern expression: "What's wrong with the woman? There are many men in the military camp who can't compare to me. I will be a general in the future!"
Zhao Yelin looked at the girl's energetic look, her clear eyes flashing with a shimmer, and her energetic appearance, which made him feel better unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Xiao Qingyu looked at the silent young man in front of him, reached out and patted his shoulder: "An aunt from my Mei family is a forward in the northwest. If my mother-in-law hadn't been pregnant with my brother, she would also be leading troops in the camp now.
!There are many female generals in our Xiao family camp."
"Okay, female general, everything is ready. Let's set off with us quickly." Xiao Yan came over, smiled and rubbed her head.
"Okay!" Xiao Qingyu turned around neatly, and the long ponytail held up Zhao Yelin's cheek, carrying a light scent of honey locust. Zhao Yelin raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Qingyu's cheerful back, and followed him.
Go up.
In less than half a day, Xiao Qingyu followed a group of generals to the camp.
However, it had only been a few days since he had seen the yellow sand in front of him, and Xiao Qingyu missed it very much.
She watched her grandfather and father enter the camp. She saw many foreign soldiers in several places in the camp. They must have important matters to discuss. Usually, she had nothing to do with her at this time. Her grandfather did not allow her to inquire about the military situation, saying
She is still young.
She was about to walk away and ride a horse outside for a while when she saw Xiao Tong turning around and waving to her: "Qingyu, come here."
Xiao Qingyu's eyes lit up and she walked up to Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong patted her on the back and took her into the military camp.
"You are now fifteen, have you decided that you want to be a female general in the future?"
Hearing Xiao Tong's inquiry, Xiao Qingyu nodded fiercely: "Of course I want to! I am also willing to let me guard the border for the rest of my life!"
After hearing Xiao Qingyu's words, Xiao Tong looked solemn, but his eyes were also full of love. He put his arm around Xiao Qingyu's shoulders and led her into the camp.
"Then from now on you will stay with me. You don't have to avoid me anymore. It's time to teach you some military affairs. Just stay with me and watch and learn well."
"yes!"
Xiao Qingyu stayed in Xiao Tong's camp all afternoon, watching him discuss military matters with the generals.
She listened carefully and wrote down everything.
Xiao Qingyu saw that the second prince Zhao Yelin was also in the camp. Although he was a spectator like her and could not say anything, she found that the generals, including her grandfather, would look at him from time to time, and even sometimes ask
his opinion.
Wasn't this second prince here demoted?
Although Xiao Qingyu had an unruly temperament and was a bit careless, she was still smart. She felt that the second prince was not disliked by the emperor as they said.
If he hates being thrown to the border, he will not be exposed to military affairs.
There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers at the border. If a prince who has been reviled and despised takes control, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In the evening, Xiao Qingyu came out of the camp. Just as she was about to go back to her tent to have a good meal and then patrol the camp to train her soldiers, Xiao Tong stopped her.
"Qingyu, the second prince will be under your command from now on. You can lead him."
Xiao Qingyu looked at the young man standing next to Xiao Tong and pointed at himself: "Me? Grandpa, I'm just a little captain, he is the prince."
Xiao Tong smiled and said, "Do you want me to promote you?"
Xiao Qingyu chuckled: "I didn't say it, my grandfather said it himself."
Xiao Tong: "In this camp, except for me, there is no one greater than you. I don't care about you. You are already the king and hegemon in the camp. Your position is just a false name for you."
Hearing Xiao: "Okay, I'll leave the second prince to you, you have to take good care of me, you know?"
After that, Xiao Tong thought about the wild nature of his granddaughter, and said again: "You can do whatever you want in the camp, but you can't take the second prince outside the camp, you know?"
Xiao Qingyu listened to Xiao Tong's instructions and responded: "I know General Xiao, I have followed you for half a day to listen to the military plan, and I have been very hungry for a long time."
Xiao Tong patted the second prince and said, "Take the second prince to have a meal with you."
"Okay, Second Prince, come with me."
Xiao Qingyu looked at Zhao Yelin standing there without moving, and directly reached out to pull his arm: "It's so annoying."
Xiao Tong watched his granddaughter leaving with the second prince for a long time, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Thinking of the emperor's instructions to him and the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago, he slowly exhaled.
Xiao Tong thought of his granddaughter's temperament, and gradually tightened his grip, and finally turned around and entered the tent.
It all depends on God's will. If Qingyu can fall in love with the second prince, it would be best. If not, then he cannot disobey the Holy Will.
All this is for Beiyuan. In the face of justice, all Xiao Tong can do is to fight for her to spend more time with the second prince before she knows these arrangements.
This way, after she develops a good impression of the second prince, she won't be too repelled by their arrangements.
Xiao Qingyu took Zhao Yelin to have a meal. Zhao Yelin originally thought that Xiao Qingyu was going to take her to his camp, but unexpectedly he went directly to the place where the soldiers were eating.
It was time to eat now. Zhao Yelin watched the soldiers holding bowls and eating around the campfire, all sitting directly on the ground.
"Uncle Chen, have you left any meat for me??"
Xiao Qingyu walked to the big buckets containing food and said to the cook in charge of the soldiers' meals.
"Keep it, keep it! There is braised pork tonight, and I've left a bowl for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen!"
Xiao Qingyu took a sea bowl, filled a bowl full of rice himself, and scooped a few spoonfuls of vegetables into the bowl.
"Here." Xiao Qingyu handed the dish to Zhao Yelin.
Zhao Yelin took it, and Xiao Qingyu looked at him and said: "The food here is definitely not as good as the palace, but since you are here, you can only condescend to the lower level."
Zhao Yelin said: "The meal is very good."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Qingyu smiled, filled herself a bowl of food, picked up the braised pork that Uncle Chen left specially for her, and took Zhao Yelin to sit down in front of a bonfire.
"Boss!" Several soldiers sitting by the campfire shouted when they saw Xiao Qingyu.
Xiao Qingyu smiled and waved to them. These were the soldiers under her command. She didn't like them calling her captain, so they called her boss directly.
Her father was particularly disgusted, saying he sounded like a bandit leader.
Xiao Qingyu himself felt very domineering.
It was the first time for Zhao Yelin to sit on the floor and eat, holding such a big bowl. He was not that delicate. Although these big pot dishes tasted good, they were not bad either.
He watched Xiao Qingyu chatting with the soldiers. As they were talking, she began to speak vulgar words. She was a fifteen-year-old girl, and she had learned the way of speaking from the rough and tumble among the generals.
Looks like.
When talking about rising, Xiao Qingyu danced and danced, completely integrating with these soldiers.
"Damn, the ambush battle last time was obviously very good. I had to complain. Now it's better. He also got a beating himself."
"It's okay, boss. I just heard from Erzhuzi that General Xiao has promoted you. From now on, you can take us out to kill the enemy in an honorable manner!"
Xiao Qingyu picked up the kettle on his waist and touched it to them: "Yes, from now on I can lead my troops to the front to kill the enemy, and I no longer have to stay behind to pick up leftovers!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Qingyu and the soldiers laughed together.
"Come, Second Emperor..."
Xiao Qingyu turned around, ready to clink the "cup" with Zhao Yelin, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't know his name yet. He couldn't keep calling him the second prince, right?
He had left his grandfather to take care of him, so he was his soldier, so he could no longer act as a prince.
Zhao Yelin looked at Xiao Qingyu's hesitant expression and knew what she wanted to ask.
