When he opened his eyes, he was confused for a moment, staring at Wang Li's face, as if he didn't recognize him.
"Wang Li?" he said.
Wang Li blinked: "Hey."
Wu Ya'er smiled and let out a long breath, feeling the bright and dazzling sunshine in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Wang Li said, "Why are you sleeping so hard? You can't even wake up even if you scream."
Hu Aqi poked his head at the side and said, "You must be tired."
Wang Li said: "Crows can also be tired? This is the first time I have seen it."
Wu Ya'er was still lying down, and slowly put his arms behind his head. Listening to the two of them talking, it was like hearing beautiful music, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Why are you still laughing?" Wang Li and Hu Aqi finished arguing and turned around to see the confused question.
Wu Ya'er said: "You speak very nicely, and I am very happy to hear you."
Hu Aqi also stood up and looked at her: "Are you sick? Are you talking nonsense?"
Wu Ya'er laughed heartily.
Wang Li sighed angrily: "Get up quickly, I really thought I was traveling around the mountains and rivers, and my trip was delayed. Be careful that the queen will kill you!"
Wu Ya'er's smile grew even stronger when he heard the word "Queen", he got up and got out of bed without saying anything, opened the door, and the excitement outside the door also rushed in.
The horses neighed, the guards moved around, the smoke billowed out, and the food was fragrant.
"Ah, you're awake, the clothes are here."
"Come on, the food is ready, come and eat."
The village women in the courtyard greeted each other, there were clothes and robes in baskets, food on the table, chickens croaked and dogs barked next door, and children ran past playing around outside the door.
Wu Ya'er took a deep breath of the noise and walked into the yard, put on warm clothes, and took the big bowl of soup and rice.
After leaving the mountain village far away, Wu Ya'er still looked back.
"Crow, you are really weird." Wang Li asked, "What happened?"
Wu Ya'er looked away and said: "It's okay, I just had a dream."
Wang Li rolled his eyes: "What a sweet dream?"
Wu Ya'er was silent for a moment: "It's not a sweet dream, it's a nightmare."
A very scary dream. In the dream, everyone died. My mother died at the bandit's place, and the others... were killed by him.
Everyone in this village is dead, killed by him.
And the people in Dou County...
Wu Ya'er looked ahead, and the city of Dou County was faintly visible. The road was bustling with people and traffic, and there were many people in the fields busy with the autumn harvest.
Everyone in this city was also killed by him.
In the dream, he stood in a pool of blood, with corpses everywhere and fire everywhere.
Later, he fought everywhere. During the battle, Wang Li died, Hu Aqi died, and finally he also died.
In that dream, there was Xiang Yun, Qi Shan and Li Mingyu, but she was not there, whether it was Mrs. Chu or the eldest lady of Jiannan Road.
"Hey, wake up." Wang Li's voice shouted in his ear, "It's almost done. How old are you that you can still be scared by nightmares?"
Wu Ya'er smiled, yes, luckily he woke up, he woke up, the nightmare is still a dream no matter how scary it is.
Hu Aqi asked: "Should we go directly to the city?"
Wu Ya'er looked at the city gate in the distance, then looked in another direction: "Let's take a look at the military camp first."
"You are about to revisit your old place." Wang Li laughed and raised his whip to urge his horse, "Go and see the place where crows are trained as little soldiers!"
Wu Ya'er and Hu Aqi also urged their horses, and the road was filled with dust and smoke.
But unfortunately, the military camp now is different from before. There is no Minzhuang and Xinding camp, and there are not as many people in the military camp as before.
"The main military camp is in Guangzhou Prefecture." A soldier guarding the gate said, "We only have reserves here."
Wang Li regretted: "Then we won't recruit new recruits."
The soldier guarding the gate smiled and said: "It would be great if we don't recruit new people. It means that we have enough troops and we won't kill so many people."
Wu Ya'er smiled and nodded, looking at the broken arm of the gatekeeper, but his posture was still upright, and the sword and gun held in one hand was strong and strong.
"The people you are looking for may not be on our side anymore." He continued, "The soldiers who left Dou County may not be in the Dou County military camp. There has been a lot of mobilization in the past two years."
Wu Ya'er said: "We are just asking. We met here by chance. They became soldiers, and we went to do business. We parted ways as soon as we met at the city gate."
The guard at the gate shouted, "What should I say?" Several people came from inside and called the guard's name: "...Have you sent the latest official documents from the government? How many winter clothes have been prepared for this year?"
The gatekeeper stood solemnly and said: "Not yet, we have already sent someone to ask."
The few people over there said this and looked at Wu Ya'er and the others, their eyes scrutinizing.
Wu Ya'er had already turned around when they spoke, and pulled Hu Aqi, who was watching the fun, "Let's go."
Hu Ah Qi turned around with an ooh and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Wang Li made a sound, recognizing the person, and was about to say hello, but saw that the two people had turned around, so he could only follow him hurriedly, and asked Wu Ya'er: "Why are you in such a hurry? I know this person. He was in Anton.
He and I..."
Behind them, those people walked to the door and asked the gatekeeper: "Who is it?"
The guard said: "Master Zhou, we are a few businessmen. They said they were visiting their old places and visiting friends. They also wanted to enter the military camp to have a look, but I didn't let them in."
Zhou Shi looked at the backs of those figures, frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Dahei?"
Hearing this shout, Wu Ya'er ran away, followed closely by Hu Aqi. When Wang Li saw it, he quickly started running too...
"Hey!" The voice behind him shouted even louder, "You guys!"
They were very fast and ran out of the guarded area in a blink of an eye, mounted their horses and galloped away.
The gatekeeper held his weapon tightly with one hand: "Sir, what's wrong? Do you want to pursue me?"
Although these people ran fast, they never thought of running out of Dou County.
Zhou Shi shook his head: "No need." Looking at the invisible figure from behind, "It should be someone I knew before."
The guard guard breathed a sigh of relief and whispered again: "They said they were looking for someone, are they looking for you, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Shi said: "It's a lie to find people, and they don't dare to come to me."
It did sound familiar, and the gatekeeper couldn't help but ask: "Who are they?"
Zhou Shi glanced over there and said: "Desert."
Deserter! The gatekeeper was immediately disdainful: "You look fierce and fierce, but your good qualifications are really wasted."
"Although it has been a long time," Zhou Shisurong said, "but if they dare to come to me, they must first be dealt with by military law."
.......
.......
The magistrate of Dou County hurried outside the city, but he still didn't have time to see Governor Wu. He could only look at the retreating army and the tall crow's head flag in the army.
"Why did Governor Wu leave so quickly?" He asked uneasily, "Is there something wrong with us here?"
Magistrate Wei smiled and said: "If there is really a problem, Governor Wu will not leave."
That's true. I heard that the two inspectors Liu and Zhang sat there and watched the murderous heads before leaving.
"Dudu Wu is going south." Magistrate Wei gave him another relief, "I have a date to go, but I just stopped by to see us."
The magistrate of Dou County breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried, and watched Wu Yaer's army send off with a smile.
The Jiangnan Road side also knew about the large army's crossing the border in advance. Although the scouts reported that Wu Ya'er's army would not stop, and no state officials and generals were seen here, Li Minghua still came here to take a look in person.
Standing high on the hillside, I saw a large number of soldiers and horses, like a rushing flood, without stopping at all.
"Miss Minghua wants to meet her brother-in-law," the maid A Liu who was following her said with a low smile, looking at the soldiers and horses rolling away, "This brother-in-law is a bit rude."
"Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense." Li Minghua said.
A Liu stuck out his tongue. Since the Queen revealed her identity, the world has had many questions and curiosity. For example, there is still no accurate explanation of her marriage to Wu Ya'er. Some are true and some are false...
Jiannan Road has not expressed any opinions.
Silence is denial.
Li Minghua glanced at her: "I mean, I am the elder sister, she is the younger sister, and she is also the brother-in-law."
Aliu chuckled.
I really didn't expect that the queen turned out to be the eldest lady. When he heard the news, Li Minghua was also shocked.
She thought carefully, but she couldn't remember what kind of person Li Minglou was. In her memory, the eldest lady was vague.
She always thought that Li Minglou was hiding in Jiannan Road and living in a high-rise building away from the world. Unexpectedly, Li Minglou was always in front of her, around her, everywhere.
When she returned to Jiangling Mansion and sat in her study, Li Minghua was still in a daze. It had been more than two years, and whenever she thought of Li Minglou, she felt confused.
It’s incredible no matter how you think about it, but at the same time, you think everything is natural. Li Minglou is Li Fengan’s daughter...
Li Minghua laughed to himself, was she right? Even without Li Fengan, Li Minglou was still different from them and other young ladies.
She looked at the pile of letters on the desk, opened one at random, and frowned as she read it, did Li Minglou look like what was in the letter? She used to feel warm and sweet when she read it, but now she always feels sore after reading it...
...
After revealing his identity, Li Minglou wrote her a letter, asking her with a smile how she felt, and said if she wanted to be an official, and if she wanted to, he would give her money, otherwise there would be no sisterhood.
Li Minghua rummaged through Li's house and found a box of jewelry... Mrs. Li hid it when she escaped from Jiangling Mansion. They were all sent by Li Fengan as a filial piety. They are yours anyway, so I will give them to you.
After receiving the jewelry, Li Minglou gave her a letter, saying that this was the last letter.
"Ms. Minghua, let's see each other through official documents in the future."
After this letter, there was no correspondence between them for two years. The imperial court sent troops and horses. After half a year of consolidation and rearrangement, inspectors came over to verify and reassign officials at all levels.
The inspector named Liu Fan, after a series of inspections and visits, and some questioning of her, finally gave her the seal of Jiedushi and allowed her to temporarily control Jiangnan Road.
Next, Li Minghua was busy arranging the governors of various states in Jiangnan Province and dealing with people's livelihood matters. He even forgot that the queen was Li Minglou.
Li Minghua looked at the seals and letters on the desk, and then at the piles of court documents. What kind of person was Li Minglou?
"Miss, if you are curious," A Liu said from the side, "you can go and have a look."
Since the Queen is the eldest lady of Jiannan Road, it is natural for Li Minghua to go to Beijing to visit her.
Li Minghua shook his head: "Next year, regular subjects will be held, and it will be time for Jiedu Envoy to enter the Academy of Music. See you then."
As they were talking, a tinkling sound came from next door...
That's Li Minghua's bedroom.
When Li Minghua comes to the government office, he does not bring many maids with him.
A Liu immediately ran over there, with Li Minghua following closely behind. Through the door and window, he saw a tall figure with his back turned, holding a teapot and drinking water...
A Liucai was about to shout, come quickly, there is a thief! Li Minghua had already recognized it and spoke first.
"You can't just enter the Yamen!" she said, "I won't do it next time."
He turned back to his beard, swallowed the tea, and stuffed a snack on the table into his mouth to chew.
"This shabby place is too shabby. There is nothing to eat in the kitchen." He complained, "Hurry up and call me a table."
Li Minghua waved his hand to A Liu, who bowed his head and retreated. After retreating, he came back to his senses and saw Li Minghua enter the room again...
So, did he mean to wave his hand to ask her to call the table? A Liu was puzzled, but decided to act as he was told.
"Where have you been in the past two years?" Li Minghua looked at him, "You don't seem to be living a good life."
"What are you looking at? Am I more graceful?" said Xiang Qiubeard, "I'm going to chase my head."
Huh? Li Minghua looked at his head.
"I mean the heads I cut off." He made a noise to Qiubeard, put down the teapot, patted the snack residue on his hands, pinched off a half-opened narcissus hairpin on the table and put it on his temples, raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "
You should know, right? I am the one who killed Xiang Yun, Xiang Qiubeard."
