After dressing up the wound and putting on his clothes, Xiao Zhige looked as if nothing had happened to him. If he hadn't just seen his neck burst out, who could see that he was injured.
Seeing this, an Changqing was distressed and angry: "how can you hurt so badly that you, the chief general, have to go to the battlefield?"
Xiao Zhige rubbed his hair with a smile: "on the battlefield, there is no eye for swords and guns. Who is not injured? As long as you don't break your arms and legs and can't get up, it's not a serious injury. "
Xu saw that he was worried, and Xiao Zhige said, "you didn't see the great king Jinwu of Beidi. I cut off his arm. In order to boost his morale, you still have to fight with one arm. I hit him the other day. It's a pity that he didn't get his head back, otherwise there would be more lanterns at the gate of the city. "
An Changqing listen to Leng Leng of, don't understand a way: "hang lantern?"
Xiao Zhige thought about it for a moment, afraid of scaring him, and explained to him in a more tactful way: "the people of Beidi have been attacking for many years, and the soldiers and people of Yanzhou will never die with the people of Beidi. In order to boost the morale and vent the indignation of the people, every time the head of a general of Beidi is cut off, it will be hung on the gate of the city. "
Over the years, there have been no less than 100 heads of Beidi generals hanging at the gate of the city. At the end of the war every year, these heads will be taken down, and together with the captured Beidi soldiers, they will build a "Jingguan" outside the city, so as to frighten Beidi and show Yanzhou's achievements. Every year, there are countless Jingguan two or three feet high outside the city.
An Changqing was shocked to hear that he had never been out of Yejing in his last life. He had only hearsay about how fierce the border war was. Now, listening to Xiao Zhige's narration in such a plain tone, I vaguely feel the real and cruel side of the war.
The two armies fought each other endlessly.
If you want to frighten the fierce Beidi people, you can only be more fierce than them to make them afraid. An Changqing recalled the rumors he had heard in Yejing before. Those scholars always criticized Xiao Zhige for killing tens of thousands of Beidi captives in a cruel way. In front of the gate of the city, Jingguan Gaozhu is the evidence of his bloodthirsty. However, if these people were allowed to live in Yanzhou for a few years, they might hate Beidi people more than Xiao Zhige.
"What if ye people fall into the hands of Beidi people?" Asked an Changqing.
"The Beidi are more cruel than we are."
Xiao Zhige's eyes were cold, and he held an Changqing's hands in his hands and played with them one by one: "they called the slaves of ye people 'human animals'. They were all kept in one place like livestock. The men worked day and night, while the women were for the soldiers to have fun. If there is a shortage of food, it will be slaughtered as food... "
He sighed and looked at an Changqing: "that's why I don't want you to come to Yanzhou."
Yanzhou is located at the border. It is attacked by wind and sand in spring and summer, and it has a long winter in autumn and winter. We should always deal with the invasion of Beidi, not to mention the comfortable days. The people in this city are ready to fight with Beidi people at any time. Everything here is not what he wants an Changqing to see.
However, an Changqing slightly pursed her lips and shook her head: "I'm not afraid."
"Maybe I'm not used to it at first, but I'll try to get used to it." An Changqing slightly raised his face and muttered, "and I'm not a spoiled young master."
Xiao Zhige's eyebrows and eyes rippled with tenderness. Feeling his dry and rough hands, he said in a deep voice, "but I don't want you to suffer."
The man's words are serious and solemn, and the tenderness in his eyes melts like snow. An Changqing and he looked at each other, and then moved his eyes away. He murmured in his heart: how can this man suddenly say love words without seeing him for more than a month?
Quietly moved his eyes back, an Changqing coughed, ear tip slightly red way: "I don't feel bitter on the line."
Then he glanced at him again and muttered, "now I know how the frightening rumors of Yejing come from. Those people really don't have back pain when they stand and talk. "
Hearing the injustice in his words, Xiao Zhige laughed and pulled him up: "there's no need to comment on the unexpected. Now go to dinner first. "
Xiao Zhige refused to have dinner with his subordinates. He called a cook to the general's house alone, cooked some porridge for an Changqing, and made some small dishes.
The cook was transferred from the military camp. He was used to cooking a large pot of rice. He made a fine small stove. The skill was really mediocre. Fortunately, the dishes were simple and tasteless, but they could also be eaten. In addition, an Changqing was hungry and drank a whole bowl.
The rest of the porridge and vegetables went into Xiao Zhige's stomach.
After dinner, it's not dark. It's April now. Although it's not warm, it's not so early. Xiao Zhige thought about it and took him to buy something on the street.
There are quite a lot of people on the street at the moment. Many people are lining up with sacks.
"What is this doing?"
"Line up for rice." Xiao Zhige explained: "in the past, there was a shortage of food and grass. In order for the soldiers to have the strength to fight, these people sent their food, meat and milk to the military camp. At that time, there was no food, and it was not easy to take them in vain. So they asked people to register from house to house and return them when they had food."
At present, although there is not enough food and grass, there are many stuttering people, and it is not good to let these people dig grass roots and gnaw bark, and then a part of the food and grass is even out, so that these people can stutter.An Changqing looked at the smile on these people's faces, and seemed to be infected, with a smile: "these people do not seem to be affected by the war."
"Well, they're used to it. As long as the city is not broken, life can go on. "
The common people at the border are just like the weeds growing tenaciously in the sand. They are full of toughness. As long as their roots are still there, they can always grow upward.
After a day, an Changqing felt that she liked it a little. He looked around curiously. In addition to the people queuing up to get rice, there were also some vendors on the street, selling strange things that he had never seen. Xiao Zhige takes him to a stall where there are clam shells.
Xiao Zhige looked at two and asked the stall owner, "is there anything else?"
"Yes." The stall owner looked at an Changqing curiously, took out four exquisite porcelain cans from the cloth pocket under the small stall, and put them in front of him politely: "these cans are the best lamb oil. You can choose which one the princess likes."
"Do you know me?" An Changqing is surprised, he just came out of the gate, how does this peddler know that he is a princess?
The peddler laughed: "everyone knows. General Qi said it. She said that the princess herself had sent us food and grass. She said that the princess was very pretty. I see that if I can go out with the general, and if I'm handsome enough to match the general, it's only the princess. "
After all, the northern warlord has been in Yanzhou City for so many years, and he has a lot of love for his big girls and little wives. Yanzhou is open to the public. Although he always has a black face, it's not that he has no courage to hook up. It's just that none of them succeeded.
In these years, no one has ever seen their general wandering in the street. Now first the princess came, and then the general brought people to buy lamb oil. Who else could it be?
An Changqing pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Zhige, then curiously went to see the porcelain pots: "what's the purpose of this lamb oil?"
The peddler introduced him with more interest.
It turns out that Yanzhou is windy and sandy, and the weather is very dry. Especially in winter, if it's very dry, even the skin will be chapped. So here is a kind of lamb oil, which can moisten the skin and prevent chaps. It is essential for every household. It's just that ordinary people use the second-class lamb oil in clam shells, and rich people buy the first-class oil in porcelain cans.
"You're from Yejing. You're not used to the climate here. This lamb oil needs to be smeared every day, otherwise it should be dry enough to peel."
An Changqing really felt that the climate here was relatively dry, so he picked out a bottle and asked the vendor how much silver.
As a result, the peddler waved: "the princess sent food and grass from afar. This is great kindness. The lamb oil is not valuable. You can use it if you like."
Of course, an Changqing couldn't take it for nothing. Now he can see that the people in Yanzhou are not rich, so they insist on giving money.
I bought lamb oil, and went to buy other small things. Xiao Zhige didn't let an Changqing take it, but he carried it all by himself. If the people in Yanzhou didn't know him, he looked like a servant who went out with a rich man.
The common people had never seen a general like this before, and they cast a kind and curious look one after another.
There were also girls who had been in love with Xiao Zhige. At first, they thought which male fox spirit was fighting with them. As a result, they heard that the princess had sent food and grass to Yanzhou. When they looked again, they found that there was no male fox spirit, but there was a white and handsome young man. At that moment, I couldn't take care of the aggressiveness. I blushed and whispered: "the princess is really pretty. If I were you I like him, too
……
After shopping, they went back to the general's house with curious eyes. When they got to the door, they saw Xiao Zhige suddenly stop and said coldly, "get out of here!"
An Changqing was puzzled when he saw that several heads appeared behind the wall on the other side. One of them he knew was deputy general Qi Weiqi.
In addition to Qi Wei, there are three other men, all tall and strong, with tendons. They should all be the generals under Xiao Zhige.
Seeing that the four were looking at themselves, an Changqing hesitated for a moment and gave them a smile.
The four men sprang out, led by Qi Wei, and stood in a row with a smile on their faces: "I've seen the princess!"
After calling Qi Wei, he said, "it's strange to call a princess! It's called sister-in-law! "
After that, they called out "I've seen my sister-in-law".
Xiao Zhige's face turned black: "what are you doing here? If you leave without permission, go back and get 30 boards each! "
Qi Wei shrunk his neck and begged for mercy: "no, we're afraid our sister-in-law is not used to it. We've come here to deliver things." Say madly make a sign toward the back, see a few small soldiers drive an ox cart to come over, there is a pile of fancy things on top. An Changqing even saw a stove with six corners carved out.
Xiao Zhige's face softened a little, and he waved his hand impatiently: "I've accepted it. You can go away."
Qi Wei several people also dare not continue to stroke the tiger's whiskers, Baba stretched his neck and said: "sister-in-law has something to do, just tell us!"
Before an Changqing spoke, he saw Xiao Zhige pick up the whip on the car and throw it at them impolitely. Several people screamed twice and ran away quickly."Don't you need to keep them for tea after you've sent so many things here?" An Changqing looked at the car full of things, not valuables, but they were all practical, so she was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Zhige's face was still dark, and he disliked these subordinates very much: "they just find an excuse to go out for a stroll, and don't care about them."
Today, after retiring from huyanxun and having food and grass, these people's skin became loose and began to wander around looking for things. Xiao Zhige thought that he should find something for them tomorrow, but he didn't bring it out. He said to an Changqing, "let's ask someone to move things in first, and those that are useful will stay."
An Changqing gave a "hum" and went in with him.
……
It's time to have a rest after the things are settled.
During the day, she just washed, and an Changqing just scrubbed it. On the couch, Xiao Zhige had just finished changing his medicine. He was playing with a small porcelain jar of lamb oil.
Seeing an Changqing coming back from the ear room, he patted the warm bed: "come up."
An Changqing got into the bedclothes. Although spring is coming, the chill is still heavy at night. He rubbed his hands and put his feet on Xiao Zhige's legs to keep warm.
Xiao Zhige squeezed his hand, looked at it carefully in the candlelight for a while, and said, "it's a lot rough."
Then he opened the small porcelain jar, dug out a piece of milk white lamb oil, rubbed it on the back of his hand, and massaged every finger carefully until all the lamb oil melted away, and the hand in his palm became delicate and smooth again. His frowning brow was released.
An Changqing wiped the oil on his face with his hand, and said with a smile, "how can you wipe it for me? Don't you wipe it yourself? "
"I'm used to it. Don't rub it."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhige dug his foot out of the quilt. An Changqing's feet are whiter than her hands. Her toes are soft and mellow. She just feels that the soles of her feet have dry lines. If she doesn't care for a while, she will be chapped. He dug up a large piece of lamb oil and put it on his feet. Xiao Zhige massaged the oil away and said, "next time, buy more cans of lamb oil."
An Changqing let out a cry, and his feet curled up: "does the Lord wipe it for me every day?"
He was just joking and said it casually, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhige to give a "um" without hesitation and say, "I'll wipe it for you in the future."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
After dressing up the wound and putting on his clothes, Xiao Zhige looked as if nothing had happened to him. If he hadn't just seen his neck burst out, who could see that he was injured.
Seeing this, an Changqing was distressed and angry: "how can you hurt so badly that you, the chief general, have to go to the battlefield?"

Feeling his dry and rough hands, he said in a deep voice, "but I don't want you to suffer." The man's words are serious and solemn, and the tenderness in his eyes melts like snow. An Changqing and he looked at each other, and then moved his eyes away. He murmured in his heart: how can this man suddenly say love words without seeing him for more than a month? Quietly moved his eyes back, an Changqing coughed, ear tip slightly red way: "I don't feel bitter on the line." Then he glanced at him again and muttered, "now I know how the frightening rumors of Yejing come from. Those people really don't have back pain when they stand and talk. " Hearing the injustice in his words, Xiao Zhige laughed and pulled him up: "there's no need to comment on the unexpected. Now go to dinner first. " Xiao Zhige refused to have dinner with his subordinates. He called a cook to the general's house alone, cooked some porridge for an Changqing, and made some small dishes. The cook was transferred from the military camp. He was used to cooking a large pot of rice. He made a fine small stove. The skill was really mediocre. Fortunately, the dishes were simple and tasteless, but they could also be eaten. In addition, an Changqing was hungry and drank a whole bowl. The rest of the porridge and vegetables went into Xiao Zhige's stomach. After dinner, it's not dark. It's April now. Although it's not warm, it's not so early. Xiao Zhige thought about it and took him to buy something on the street. There are quite a lot of people on the street at the moment. Many people are lining up with sacks. "What is this doing?" "Line up for rice." Xiao Zhige explained: "in the past, there was a shortage of food and grass. In order for the soldiers to have the strength to fight, these people sent their food, meat and milk to the military camp. At that time, there was no food, and it was not easy to take them in vain. So they asked people to register from house to house and return them when they had food." At present, although there is not enough food and grass, there are many stuttering people, and it is not good to let these people dig grass roots and gnaw bark, and then a part of the food and grass is even out, so that these people can stutter.An Changqing looked at the smile on these people's faces, and seemed to be infected, with a smile: "these people do not seem to be affected by the war." "Well, they're used to it. As long as the city is not broken, life can go on. " The common people at the border are just like the weeds growing tenaciously in the sand. They are full of toughness. As long as their roots are still there, they can always grow upward. After a day, an Changqing felt that she liked it a little. He looked around curiously. In addition to the people queuing up to get rice, there were also some vendors on the street, selling strange things that he had never seen. Xiao Zhige takes him to a stall where there are clam shells. Xiao Zhige looked at two and asked the stall owner, "is there anything else?" "Yes." The stall owner looked at an Changqing curiously, took out four exquisite porcelain cans from the cloth pocket under the small stall, and put them in front of him politely: "these cans are the best lamb oil. You can choose which one the princess likes." "Do you know me?" An Changqing is surprised, he just came out of the gate, how does this peddler know that he is a princess? The peddler laughed: "everyone knows. General Qi said it. She said that the princess herself had sent us food and grass. She said that the princess was very pretty. I see that if I can go out with the general, and if I'm handsome enough to match the general, it's only the princess. " After all, the northern warlord has been in Yanzhou City for so many years, and he has a lot of love for his big girls and little wives. Yanzhou is open to the public. Although he always has a black face, it's not that he has no courage to hook up. It's just that none of them succeeded. In these years, no one has ever seen their general wandering in the street. Now first the princess came, and then the general brought people to buy lamb oil. Who else could it be? An Changqing pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Zhige, then curiously went to see the porcelain pots: "what's the purpose of this lamb oil?" The peddler introduced him with more interest. It turns out that Yanzhou is windy and sandy, and the weather is very dry. Especially in winter, if it's very dry, even the skin will be chapped. So here is a kind of lamb oil, which can moisten the skin and prevent chaps. It is essential for every household. It's just that ordinary people use the second-class lamb oil in clam shells, and rich people buy the first-class oil in porcelain cans. "You're from Yejing. You're not used to the climate here. This lamb oil needs to be smeared every day, otherwise it should be dry enough to peel." An Changqing really felt that the climate here was relatively dry, so he picked out a bottle and asked the vendor how much silver. As a result, the peddler waved: "the princess sent food and grass from afar. This is great kindness. The lamb oil is not valuable. You can use it if you like." Of course, an Changqing couldn't take it for nothing. Now he can see that the people in Yanzhou are not rich, so they insist on giving money. I bought lamb oil, and went to buy other small things. Xiao Zhige didn't let an Changqing take it, but he carried it all by himself. If the people in Yanzhou didn't know him, he looked like a servant who went out with a rich man. The common people had never seen a general like this before, and they cast a kind and curious look one after another. There were also girls who had been in love with Xiao Zhige. At first, they thought which male fox spirit was fighting with them. As a result, they heard that the princess had sent food and grass to Yanzhou. When they looked again, they found that there was no male fox spirit, but there was a white and handsome young man. At that moment, I couldn't take care of the aggressiveness. I blushed and whispered: "the princess is really pretty. If I were you I like him, too After shopping, they went back to the general's house with curious eyes. When they got to the door, they saw Xiao Zhige suddenly stop and said coldly, "get out of here!" An Changqing was puzzled when he saw that several heads appeared behind the wall on the other side. One of them he knew was deputy general Qi Weiqi. In addition to Qi Wei, there are three other men, all tall and strong, with tendons. They should all be the generals under Xiao Zhige. Seeing that the four were looking at themselves, an Changqing hesitated for a moment and gave them a smile. The four men sprang out, led by Qi Wei, and stood in a row with a smile on their faces: "I've seen the princess!" After calling Qi Wei, he said, "it's strange to call a princess! It's called sister-in-law! " After that, they called out "I've seen my sister-in-law". Xiao Zhige's face turned black: "what are you doing here? If you leave without permission, go back and get 30 boards each! " Qi Wei shrunk his neck and begged for mercy: "no, we're afraid our sister-in-law is not used to it. We've come here to deliver things." Say madly make a sign toward the back, see a few small soldiers drive an ox cart to come over, there is a pile of fancy things on top. An Changqing even saw a stove with six corners carved out. Xiao Zhige's face softened a little, and he waved his hand impatiently: "I've accepted it. You can go away." Qi Wei several people also dare not continue to stroke the tiger's whiskers, Baba stretched his neck and said: "sister-in-law has something to do, just tell us!" Before an Changqing spoke, he saw Xiao Zhige pick up the whip on the car and throw it at them impolitely. Several people screamed twice and ran away quickly."Don't you need to keep them for tea after you've sent so many things here?" An Changqing looked at the car full of things, not valuables, but they were all practical, so she was a little embarrassed. Xiao Zhige's face was still dark, and he disliked these subordinates very much: "they just find an excuse to go out for a stroll, and don't care about them." Today, after retiring from huyanxun and having food and grass, these people's skin became loose and began to wander around looking for things. Xiao Zhige thought that he should find something for them tomorrow, but he didn't bring it out. He said to an Changqing, "let's ask someone to move things in first, and those that are useful will stay." An Changqing gave a "hum" and went in with him. It's time to have a rest after the things are settled. During the day, she just washed, and an Changqing just scrubbed it. On the couch, Xiao Zhige had just finished changing his medicine. He was playing with a small porcelain jar of lamb oil. Seeing an Changqing coming back from the ear room, he patted the warm bed: "come up." An Changqing got into the bedclothes. Although spring is coming, the chill is still heavy at night. He rubbed his hands and put his feet on Xiao Zhige's legs to keep warm. Xiao Zhige squeezed his hand, looked at it carefully in the candlelight for a while, and said, "it's a lot rough." Then he opened the small porcelain jar, dug out a piece of milk white lamb oil, rubbed it on the back of his hand, and massaged every finger carefully until all the lamb oil melted away, and the hand in his palm became delicate and smooth again. His frowning brow was released. An Changqing wiped the oil on his face with his hand, and said with a smile, "how can you wipe it for me? Don't you wipe it yourself? " "I'm used to it. Don't rub it." As he spoke, Xiao Zhige dug his foot out of the quilt. An Changqing's feet are whiter than her hands. Her toes are soft and mellow. She just feels that the soles of her feet have dry lines. If she doesn't care for a while, she will be chapped. He dug up a large piece of lamb oil and put it on his feet. Xiao Zhige massaged the oil away and said, "next time, buy more cans of lamb oil." An Changqing let out a cry, and his feet curled up: "does the Lord wipe it for me every day?" He was just joking and said it casually, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhige to give a "um" without hesitation and say, "I'll wipe it for you in the future."
