Feng Yu wasn't sure whether Xie Xun was really angry or not.
"Why are you angry?"
"Think for yourself!" Xie Xun said with a sullen face, lying in the third girl's beautiful nest to catch up on his sleep. Since the death of his family, he had never had a good sleep, and his body and spirit were stretched to the limit.
Qiuxiang and Chunlu laid a thick mattress on the carriage for Fengyu's comfort when traveling, and to prevent Fengyu from getting too hot, they spread a thin bamboo mat on the mattress. Xie Xun lay on the bamboo mat, breathing lightly,
There was a hint of blue and black under his eyes. Nuanyang said that Xie Xun had been as busy as a spinning top since he came to Ningzhou.
From Kyoto to Yancheng, he hardly had a good night's sleep. He would always wake up halfway. When he arrived in Ningzhou, he had to deal with military affairs, deploy troops and generals, and the senior generals repeatedly contradicted him. She had a cold war with him, and Xie Xun could hardly get a good rest.
, the second young master was in the Yamen, forgetting to sleep and eat, and Xie Xun was in the army, so why not.
His injury had not yet healed, so Feng Yu pulled the thin quilt over his waist and abdomen and asked softly, "Is it because I ignored you that you are angry?"
Xie Xun snorted coldly and remained silent. The colder he became, the sadder she became. Although she had a cold war with Xie Xun, she didn't want Xie Xun to be sad at all, and she couldn't bear to say harsh words to him, but she couldn't compromise easily.
They were really treated as his dodder, and they almost came to a dead end.
Feng Yu scratched her heart and lungs. The breeze blew up the car curtains, and a little halo of light fell on his face. Feng Yu lowered her head and kissed his exhausted lover, "Zhixu, I like you so much. Go to sleep well."
Xie Xun was already immersed in a dark and sweet dream and could not hear the sweet words of the third girl. His breathing was slow and long. Feng Yu took the bone fan beside him and gently fanned him.
Zhixu, don't be angry.
Whatever you want, I will give it to you. You once said, I will do whatever I want. Don’t be afraid. You will always support me from behind.
Me too!
Just keep walking forward and leave your back to me, and I will support you.
Everyone in the Ningzhou Railway Cavalry Army has dry food and water in their luggage, which can guarantee three days of dry food and water, and they will not stop on the way.
Xie Xun only slept for two hours when he was woken up by a nightmare that almost crushed Feng Yu's wrist. Feng Yu was so painful that she was sweating and couldn't bear to push him awake.
When Xie Xun opened his eyes, they were filled with scarlet red. His body was convulsing and struggling, as if he was shouting something, but he couldn't make a sound due to the extreme pain. The halo of the setting sun reflected in his eyes, which was extremely frightening. He was momentarily stunned.
It's unclear whether it was a nightmare or reality. He pressed Feng Yu tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to crush her bones. His voice was hoarse and desperate, "Don't leave me, Ayu, don't leave me..."
Feng Yu felt great pain in her heart. She kissed his chin over and over again in his arms to soothe his emotions. Her heart was sour and unbearable.
He always came to look for her late at night, sitting by the warm bed and staying with her until dawn. She thought Xie Xun was afraid that she would leave without a word, and became obsessed with keeping her in his sight.
It turned out that he woke up from a nightmare and was afraid of losing her, so he guarded her. What was he dreaming about? Did he dream that she also left him?
That night in Kyoto hurt Xie Xun far more than they imagined.
Feng Yu put her hands into his wet hair and moved up to kiss him. She clumsily comforted the scarred boy and kissed him over and over again.
"Zhixu, I'm here!"
Do not be afraid!
The warm and lingering kiss brought Xie Xun back to the world from hell. He kissed her deeply, rubbing his fingers heavily on her lower back, instinctively wanting to catch her in his arms. The vigorous young man fell into a deep sleep.
The body that had just woken up was stiff and swollen under the stimulation of lust.
Feng Yu struggled with her face red and her ears red. Xie Xun bit her lip and pressed her hard on her neck. His heavy breathing dyed her ears red, so red that they dripped with blood. Xie Xun licked her earlobe and held it in his lips,
Nibbling lightly, Feng Yu struggled in his arms like a dehydrated fish, and Xie Xun held her waist tightly.
"Don't move!" His voice was deep and hoarse. Feng Yu didn't dare to move anymore, and she let him hold her obediently. Xie Xun's rapid and heavy breathing slowly calmed down, and the heat in his body gradually cooled down. He still held her.
, his big hand stroked down her neck gently, as if he was apologizing, but also as if he couldn't help himself.
"What kind of incense did you use?" Xie Xun placed a few kisses on her neck like a wolf sniffing its prey.
"It's made with Qiuxiang and Chunlu." Feng Yu was so nervous that her spine was numb and her head was spinning, "Do you want it?"
Xie Xun, "..."
Feng Yu covered her face in embarrassment, what was she talking about? A muffled smile came from her chest, shaking in waves. Feng Yu was slightly startled. She raised her eyes and saw the smile in his eyes. It was very faint, but unmistakable. Feng Yu was red.
He rolled his eyes and wiped away his sweat with his fingers, without asking him what nightmare he had, "You've been asleep for two hours, do you still want to sleep?"
Xie Xun thought of the scene in his dream and his smile faded. He did not dare to sleep again. Xie Xun hugged Feng Yu and sat up, lifting up the car curtain with his long fingers.
The sun is sinking over the mountains, and darkness is approaching.
"Feiying, order the three armies to rest for a moment."
"yes!"
Feng Yu looked at his cold side face, thinking of the pain and silent cries he felt in his sleep, and hesitantly thought, should she give Xie Xun a little more time?
Those invisible injuries have been hurting Xie Xun's heart.
She wanted to stay in Jinzhou, but did she also want to give Xie Xun some time? Feng Yu looked at Xie Xun's back and thought it was time for her to have a good talk with Xie Xun.
Xie Xun, Feiying, and Nuanyang were looking at the map. The march of fifty thousand soldiers was not too slow. After three days of marching, they should be able to reach Yunzhou in the Twelve Prefectures before dawn.
"Pioneer to explore the road and send a message to the governor of Yunzhou."
"yes!"
Feiying ordered a thousand pioneers to go to Yunzhou, "Master, the governor of Yunzhou is a relative of the Lin clan. His name is Lin Jingshan. He has not been out of the fifth service. According to his seniority, I will call you my little cousin."
"How old is he?" The Lin clan has too many relatives, and Xie Xun has never fully recognized them since he was a child. Except for his maternal grandfather, he is not familiar with the rest of the clan.
"Thirty-two." Fei Ying said, "His wife's family is the Zhou family, and they are related to the Yuwen family. I wonder if they will stop us."
"There are three thousand people in Yunzhou's city defense, what can they do to stop me?" Xie Xun sneered.
The fastest way to go from Ningzhou to Jinzhou is by water, from Ningzhou to Yancheng, then up Beihe, all the way to the west. The straight line distance between Jinzhou and Yancheng is exactly the center line of Yanyang. Beihe is the defense line of Yanyang Zhongzhou, with 80,000 troops stationed.
Zhongzhou increased its troops to defend and Jiangnan kept watch on each other. Ningzhou's attempt to leave from Beihe would definitely lead to a counterattack from the Zhongzhou garrison. They would not just watch 50,000 Ningzhou cavalry march from their doorstep to the Beihe port. This was an obvious demonstration and a bit bloody.
Even the generals couldn't bear it. Xie Xun didn't want to go to war with the Yuwen royal family yet, so he had to abandon Beihe and go from the east of Ningzhou to Jinzhou. Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing also built a grain and horse road along the east, that is, they avoided Beihe and built grain in the rear.
road.
The grain and horse road in Ningzhou for hundreds of years has been from Lanzhou Port in the south of the Yangtze River to Yancheng and then to Ningzhou. This is the Lanning grain and horse road in Yanyang. Bandits and bandits do not dare to rob the army. Beihe is also escorted by the Zhongzhou Army, so this is the most convenient road.
, is also the safest grain and horse road. Now only a new grain and horse road can be opened from Twelve Prefectures.
Kyoto has given an order to Zhongzhou to close the Beihe grain and horse road, and only allow merchants to travel. It is difficult for large armies to travel along Beihe. The road from Ningzhou to Twelve Prefectures is mountainous. The grain and horse road should avoid Xishan and Huashan, and try to build it on flat land, which is suitable for
Horse and carriage.
Feng Yu crossed the Liangma Road and bypassed Xishan and Huashan. Whether it can be built still requires Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing to bring specialized craftsmen for surveying and on-site inspection.
Xie Xun also wanted to take this road himself.
Yunzhou was the first time they came to the city after rebelling from Yanyang. The attitude of the twelve states depends on Yunzhou. If Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing's team did not follow the official route, they should not have arrived in Yunzhou yet. (official road and grain
Tao generally do not run parallel.)
When Xie Xun returned to the carriage, Feng Yu had also rested. She was not too hungry after having lunch before getting into the carriage. She had to march all night and could not sleep well in the carriage. Chun Lu was afraid that she would be hungry at night, so she wanted to give her some food.
She cooked some hot porridge to keep warm.
The weather was too hot, and Feng Yu didn't want to light a small stove on the carriage, and the quarter of an hour was too short to prepare meals. She didn't want to delay the march, so she ate dry food and butcher shop with everyone. Qiuxiang talked to Feng Yu about two things while eating dry food.
The gossip between Young Master and Xie Xun.
When Xie Xun returned to the carriage, the three girls were gnawing on the dry and old beef jerky like little hamsters.
"Zhixu, have you made the second young master vomit blood?" Feng Yu was shocked, "Hello..."
She touched Xie Xun's displeased eyes, recalled his sinister face when he left the city, and was sensitively aware that she should not mention the second young master.
"Okay, keep talking!" Xie Xun rolled up his sleeves in a leisurely manner, "Do you feel so sorry for my second brother?"
