1279 Chapter 585

When the sky lit up, the entire Yanding City was still silent, but the courtyard where Nangong Yue lived in the garrison mansion was already busy and noisy.

Early in the morning, before Nangong Yue had breakfast, Han Qixia hurried over and brought a bowl of thick brown concoction.

Naturally, this bowl of concoction was not for Nangong Yue.

"Yue'er, take a look, grandfather said that the recipe this time should be about the same..." Han Qixia eagerly brought the wooden tray with the medicine bowl to Nangong Yue.

Seeing that Han Qixia was holding the big bowl full of concoction and walking like a fly, Nangongyue couldn't help but feel a little nervous for her. She let out a sigh of relief until she put down the tray. The change is so great!

"Sister Xia, sit down quickly." Nangongyue took Han Qixia's hand and sat down, not ignoring the shadow of fatigue caused by Han Qixia's eyes.

Since Mo Xiuyu came back two days ago, Nangong Yue and Lin Jingchen have started to adjust the recipe of the concoction.

This concoction will be used in the Southern Border Army. If the soldiers feel unwell, it will affect the war with Nanliang.

Until last night, they still scrutinized and negotiated until midnight before they dispersed...

It's not even Chen Shi, but the concoction has already been boiled. Nangong Yue counted the time, presumably grandfather and sister Xia woke up early, and they were busy before dawn.

Nangong Yue didn't say thank you. Given their relationship, it was too polite to say thank you. You just need to keep a lot of things in mind.

Nangong Yue settled down and focused on the bowl of concoction in front of her, watching its color, smelling its fragrance, and eating its taste... She pondered for a moment, her face showing joy, and said, "Sister Xia, it's just right, this is just right. It will do it once!"

Han Qixia is also happy.

Nangong Yue pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Baihui, you can send this concoction to the official son, and then put up a notice in front of the garrison, and recruit some women to help." The next step is to make a large number of masks. , the women recruited last time were not enough.

"Yes, Concubine Shizi."

Baihui led the way, she walked out on the front foot, and Lily and Thrush came in with the food box on the hind foot.

Han Qixia didn't notice at all, her mind was still immersed in the concoction, and she added, "Yue'er, about the medicine..."

"Sister Xia," Nangong Yue interrupted Han Qixia with a soft voice, "It's not in a hurry... You haven't had breakfast, have you?"

She sounded like she was using a questioning tone, but she looked at Han Qixia with a very sure look in her eyes, and she could see Han Qixia's face showing embarrassment - needless to say, the answer was obvious.

Nangong Yue sighed in her heart, and hurriedly gestured to Thrush Mei with a wink.

"Lily, take some porridge to grandfather's place." Nangong Yue instructed, grandfather's temperament makes it easy to forget to eat and sleep when he is busy.

Lily responded swiftly and hurriedly went.

Breakfast is as simple as ever, just one bowl of porridge and two dishes of side dishes, but today there is an extra golden burrito...

As soon as they saw the golden burritos from the north appear on the dining table in the southern border, Nangong Yue and Han Qixia's expressions were a little subtle, and a faint feeling of homesickness lingered in their hearts.

The two of them left the capital for different reasons, but they had one thing in common—

They have no regrets!

The two girls looked at each other, smiled relievedly, and recalled the long-lost taste with the golden burrito.

The taste of this golden burrito is actually good, Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Thrush explained on the side: "Prince Prince, Chef Liu in the mansion has learned a few dishes from the Royal Capital for the guests from the Royal Capital. Today, I specially made this golden silk cake for you to try..." Actually, it was A few maids thought about Nangong Yue's lack of appetite recently, so they specifically asked the chef if he would make Wangdu's snacks, but the chef really knew how to...

Han Qixia nodded and praised: "This chef's craftsmanship is good, I'm going to learn from him someday, and I can make it for my grandfather in the future..." As she spoke, another figure appeared in her mind, and he should like it too. ?

Nangongyue was sitting next to Han Qixia, and naturally noticed the subtle change in her expression. She knew it in her heart and deliberately said, "Thrush, you ask the cook to make some and send it to Master Fu." She also glanced at Han Qixia with a smile. With a hint of ridicule.

"Yes, Concubine Shi." Thrush bowed his knees and gave orders, a smile that could not be concealed on his face.

Seeing this, a faint blush appeared on Han Qixia's pretty face again. She ignored Nangong Yue and lowered her head to focus on the food.

Nangong Yue also took it as soon as she saw it, and had breakfast.

Both of them had good appetites and ate the breakfast at this table.

At this time, Baihui, who had gone out to run errands, also returned. The master and servants went to the west room. This room is not big. It is a small study room that Nangong Yue specially ordered the maids to clean up. It is the place where she reads books and manages.

Baihui waited on the pen and ink, and they continued to discuss the unfinished business before breakfast.

Han Qixia was full of words for a long time, and as soon as she sat down, she asked, "Yue'er, how are we preparing the herbs now?" .

Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Zhou Dacheng's biography of flying pigeons says that the medicinal materials we want have already been prepared... I also plan to ask An Yihou to borrow a few more military doctors from the army to help." Masks, any girl or woman who knows how to order a female celebrity can help, but pharmaceuticals are much more meticulous and trivial, and you must hire someone who understands medicine.

Seeing that Nangong Yue had already made a fuss in her heart, Han Qixia felt relieved and said, "Yue'er, my grandfather said the same thing." This kind of concoction is related to the military situation, and it is not easy to hire a doctor in the city at will. The most suitable candidate is a military doctor.

The two carefully discussed the matter of making the concoction, from collecting the herbs, concocting it to making the concoction, they planned to divide it into several steps, and each step was carried out separately to improve efficiency.

Baihui wrote the notes on the side, and skillfully compiled several concise lists, which were then reviewed by Nangong Yue and Han Qixia.

This busyness, the time passed very quickly. Seeing that noon was over, thrush came in, and was about to remind the two masters to have some lunch, but did not want to welcome an uninvited guest in the house——

The concierge sent someone to report that Sun Xinyi was here.

Baihui thought that the day before yesterday, Concubine Shi said that Sun Xinyi would come to greet him soon, and she did!

After a while, Sun Xinyi, who was dressed in plain clothes and dressed elegantly, came one after another under the guidance of a little maid.

Sun Xinyi saluted the two of them gracefully and gracefully, with a smile on her beautiful face and a gentle and elegant expression.

"Miss Sun, no ceremony." Nangong Yue raised her hand politely and motioned for Sun Xinyi to sit down.

Han Qixia bowed thoughtfully in return.

That day, after she and Sun Xinyi broke up in the garrison mansion, the two met again in the wounded barracks the next day. At that time, Sun Xinyi apologized to her in private, saying that she was confused for a while...

This did not make Han Qixia feel relieved, on the contrary, she felt that there were many distractions in this person's mind. She felt a little sigh in her heart, and couldn't help sighing for the deceased Sun Shoubei and Mrs. Sun. She only hoped that the whole family of Sun's heroes would not be white jade because of Sun Xinyi's misbehavior.

However, even if Han Qixia thinks that Sun Xinyi should not have a deep friendship, after all, after the other party is loyal and loyal, he should not be less polite.

Sun Xinyi was well aware of Han Qixia's estrangement, but she was still generous and sat down opposite Han Qixia as if nothing had happened, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

Thrush quickly served the refreshment, and Sun Xinyi smiled and said her intention: "Prince Princess, Miss Han, take the liberty to visit, please don't take offense if you are rude. Yanding City is often infested with poisonous insects this season, and Xinyi is sewing these days. I bought a few sachets, and put some insect repellent herbs unique to the Yanding City area in them, which were specially sent to the two of you."

While speaking, her maid Caiwei took out two sachets, one was rose red and the other was green lotus, she respectfully presented the former to Thrush, and the latter to Han Qixia.

As soon as you know the color, you know that it is the fabric that Sun Xinyi specially selected for Nangong Yue and Han Qixia, and carefully sewed it.

Nangong Yue looked at the sachet in her hand, which was embroidered with a pair of delicate pomegranates, symbolizing more children and more blessings - this grandson really has a heart.

Nangong Yue played with it for a while, then gave the sachet to Thrush and put it away, and praised with a smile, "Miss Sun's craftsmanship is really good."

Hearing this, Sun Xinyiti's heart in mid-air suddenly let go. She was originally worried that Han Qixia would slander herself in front of the princess by relying on her friendship with the princess. Fortunately, the princess is sensible and magnanimous.

Sun Xinyi felt at ease, and even her slender waist straightened a lot because of this, and she said: "Prince Princess, when Xinyi just came, I saw you recruiting women on the notice board in front of the gate of the garrison. Helping make some female celebrities, Xinyi also wants to give it a try..." As she said that, her expression revealed a trace of sadness and sadness, "My father and mother died for Yanding City, Xinyi is only a girl, and can't be on the battlefield as a Parents and brothers want to take revenge, but they also hope that they can do their part for Yanding City with their meager strength, and hope that the prince and concubine will be fulfilled."

Nangong Yue smiled slightly, and readily agreed: "It's very good for Miss Sun to have such a heart. Now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, so I'm welcome."

Following that, she turned her head and instructed Baihui, "Baihui, tell Miss Sun what to make."

Baihui naturally bowed her knees.

done! The smile on Sun Xinyi's mouth became even stronger.

She is a prostitute, and she has been good at observing words and expressions since she was a child, and she is likable.

From the first time she came to greet Nangongyue, Sun Xinyi began to wonder what kind of temperament she prefers. Seeing that Nangongyue and Han Qixia were on good terms, she even tried her best to make her behavior resemble that of Han Qixia...

Han Qixia is gentle, and she has to be more gentle than her;

Han Qixia is simple, and she has to be more simple than her;

Han Qixia is harmless, she will be more harmless than her...

Sure enough, Concubine Shizi has become more kind to herself in recent days.

One day, I will be able to replace Han Qixia's position, and then...

A bright light flashed in Sun Xinyi's eyes.

Nangong Yue smiled lightly, and a trace of loneliness crossed the corner of her lips. After a few casual greetings, she asked Baihui to take Sun Xinyi down. ... Half an hour later, Sun Xinyi took some gauze to leave.

The master and servant walked back to a two-way yard on East Street.

After the Southern Border Army recaptured Yanding City, they packed up and let them live temporarily.

President Jing Qian and Sun Guarding are on good terms, and he treats Sun Xinyi like his own junior. When she saw that there was only one maid named Caiwei next to her, she came to ask if she wanted to send another maid over to avoid any grievances. she. However, Sun Xinyi refused obediently and sensible, and expressed righteously that he would share weal and woe with the people in the city, insisting that it was enough to have Caiwei.

Mr. Jing Qian, a big man, naturally didn't bother about these trivial matters, so he didn't mention it any more, and only sent some rice grains every few days.

Therefore, in this yard, except for a rough old woman who comes to help do some cleaning every morning, there are only two masters and servants, Sun Xinyi and Cai Wei.

But today, when Sun Xinyi entered the room, she found that there was another person in the room, like a ghost, silent.

A dark-skinned, thin man was sitting at the table, looking at Sun Xinyi coldly.

"..." Caiwei, who was behind Sun Xinyi, was so frightened that her eyes widened instantly, and she almost screamed out loud. She hurriedly covered her mouth.

Sun Xinyi's pretty face was also pale, and she told Cai Wei reluctantly, "Go and watch outside."

"Yes... girl." Cai Wei responded sternly, glanced at the man, and was frightened by the other's cold eyes, she shrank back, and ran to the yard in a panic.

The man sneered, sat in the same place calmly, and let the maid run out helplessly, not afraid of the other party going to rescue soldiers.

Sun Xinyi gritted her teeth and finally asked, "You... what do you want?" Her hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

The man raised his eyebrows and asked straight to the point, "Miss Sun, is the concubine Shizi in Yanding City now?" With a hint of disdain and ridicule.

It turned out that his goal was the imperial concubine... Sun Xinyi's heart was lowered a little, and she nodded.

"Looks like you've already met Concubine Shizi?" The man in black squinted his triangular eyes and asked again thoughtfully.

Sun Xinyi felt her heart lifted again, but she could only nod her head again.

The man touched his chin full of stubble, and then threw a series of questions: "Tell me about the temperament of Concubine Shizi, how many guards are by her side? What about the relationship between Prince Zhennan and her..."

Hearing this question after another, Sun Xinyi's heart sank completely, and an ominous feeling arose spontaneously, but she was already deep in the mud and could no longer climb out...

After a stick of incense, the man quietly climbed the wall and left. From the beginning to the end, except for Sun Xinyi's master and servant, the whole street did not know that there were uninvited guests here.

That day, a gray carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew out from a corner of the city... That night, the carrier pigeon flew into a mansion in Dengli City.

The black-faced deputy general of Nan Liang, Conan Li, immediately presented the secret letter brought by the carrier pigeon to the coach Ikaluo.

"Master, this is a biography of flying pigeons sent from Yanding City!"

Ikaluo nodded slightly, this flying pigeon passed the book at the right time.

Early this morning, he had to report that Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan, led the army to Yongjia City. This move was full of fighting spirit. Presumably, after the other party encamped and mobilized the army, they would officially attack Dengli City.

After a few months of armistice between the two sides, the war will finally reignite. Ikaluo has no fear in his heart, only expectation, and even blood boiling.

Although he did not expect Xiao Yi to be the first to send troops, the timing was really good!

It is now in mid-November, when the blooming of Qianmanlan is the most vigorous, which means that there will be more pollen falling.

And what he has spent months arranging will be the key to dismantling the Southern Border Army!

In this battle, Nanliang will win!

Ikaluo quickly took the letter and looked down at ten lines. His eyes quickly paused on the words Zhennan Prince Consort, and a stern look flashed in his eyes...

When the prince and concubine Zhennan first arrived in Yanding City, she was quite low-key, and the spies almost looked away, but it was obvious that she was a flamboyant woman, and she made a big splash in Yanding City for a few days without any security. He recruited women to do some strange female red, and this flamboyant, naturally, he could not hide the spies he placed in Yanding City. He had obtained the flying pigeon biography a few days ago and knew about it.

The last time they were in Luoyue City, they tried their best to kidnap the prince and concubine of Zhennan, but they suffered heavy losses... In the end, the nine kings were captured, and Yanding City and Yongjia City were captured by the other side in one fell swoop. Kalo still gritted his teeth in hatred even when he thought about it.

This time it was her chance to hand it over.

Although according to his original plan, this battle can also be won, but with the Prince of Zhennan in his hands, it might be smoother. So, Ikal immediately let the spy continue to inquire...

Ikaluo quickly read the letter in his hand, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just like the news from Luo Yuecheng, Xiao Yi and his concubine have a good relationship. Last time, Xiao Yi dared to use the Nine Kings as a shield to attack Yanding City. This time, he will let Xiao Yi experience it. It's called "returning the way of the person to the body of the person"!

Not only that, but there is good news that he didn't expect...

Conan, who was bowing to the side, saw that the coach was in a good mood, and said boldly: "Master, that woman that day was finally useful, and she didn't save her life in vain!" He clasped his fists and said diligently, "The handsome is really wise!"

At the beginning, in his opinion, such a weak woman could be killed with one slash or sent to the red tent. I didn't expect this woman to have such a use!

Ikaluo put the letter on the desk and said meaningfully: "If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game! Sometimes a small inconspicuous chess piece will play a crucial role in the chess game. important role..."

Conan Li could not understand.

Ikaluo said again: "...Xiao Yi hurriedly ordered someone out of the city to escort a group of important things to Yanding City a few days ago. If my expectations are not bad, it should be a group of iron arrows, Conanli, I want You rob it!"

"Iron arrows?! Iron arrows for a repeating crossbow?" Conanli blurted out in shock, his face not very good-looking.

I don't know who actually designed such a terrifying repeating crossbow, which can be called an invincible weapon. If the entire Southern Border Army could be equipped with this kind of repeating crossbow, their Nanliang Army would definitely lose.

It's just that the iron arrows used in the repeating crossbow require a lot of iron ore, and the Southern Border Army must not be equipped with such repeating crossbow soldiers on a large scale...

The iron arrow is not only the advantage of the repeating crossbow, but it is also the biggest disadvantage of the repeating crossbow.

Conan calmed down and asked respectfully: "Master, how did you know that these items are iron arrows?" He also read the secret letter from the spy, and there was no mention of iron arrows in the letter. matter.

Ikaluo smiled calmly, and said, "Xiao Yi led his troops on an expedition, but left his God Arm battalion in Yanding City, why do you think? In all likelihood, there is something missing..." What is it? Naturally, it is the iron arrow that the God Arm Camp lacks the most! "It's a pity that Xiao Yi can never wait for these iron arrows."

"Commander, leave everything to the end general!" Conan said eagerly, his eyes emitting bloodthirsty rays of light, almost impatient. They have been suffocated for a long time. The Southern Border Army robbed them of two batches of food and grass, and also killed many of their soldiers in Nanliang... The new hatred and the old hatred add up, and it should be calculated!

Ikaluo remained silent, got up and walked to the map on the wall, looking at the terrain near Yanding City, his eyes first fell on Yulan Mountain in the south of Yanding City... This trail is the key to the next step. It doesn't work yet, so...

His gaze shifted to the left, and stopped on a swamp a dozen miles southwest of Yanding City, with a decisive light flashing in his eyes.
