Xiao Si carried the fat pigeon and walked inside, blocking Xiao Hui's line of sight. Then he took out some grains from a jar, sprinkled them on a table, and let the fat pigeon peck at them. Gone to eat.

"簌簌猌..."

The sound of swaying branches and leaves mixed with the vibration of wings came from outside, and then a gray shadow landed on the window sill. A pair of sharp eagle eyes first looked at Guan Yubai, and then looked at Xiaosi, or rather, the fat pigeon next to Xiaosi.

The fat pigeon that was pecking seemed to have been frozen instantly. Its chubby body was motionless and it did not dare to eat anymore.

Speechlessly, Xiao Si turned around to meet Xiao's gray-gold eagle eyes, squinting slightly, and the threat was clear.

Xiao Hui looked at him nonchalantly.

At this time, Guan Yubai looked up and happened to see this scene, and couldn't help laughing. Xiaosi and Xiaohui are really enemies.

Xiao Si did not miss the slight smile on his young master's lips, and he had the answer in his heart: It seems that what came from Nanliang was a good news. Finally, Prince Xiao did not let the young master waste all his efforts!

Suddenly, Xiao Hui and Xiao Si moved at the same time. The former flapped his wings and flew away, while the latter moved his ears alertly. He looked out the window again and saw a black shadow turning lightly from the eaves above. Down.

The next moment, there was a sleepy and handsome young man by the window. It was a winter night and the weather was still a bit cold, but the young man only wore a thin black robe, with his long black hair hanging loose. Looking down, it looks a bit unruly.

Looking at Xiao Hui's flying back, Si Lin complained: "It would be too disrespectful to run away as soon as you see me."

Little Si felt that Xiao Hui had done a good job, and the corners of his mouth curled up invisibly.

Si Lin propped up the window sill with his right hand, quickly rolled over from the window and entered the room. Then he leaned on an armchair by the window and yawned lazily: "Yubai, I just heard There is a carrier pigeon flying over." As he said this, his eyes fell on the fat pigeon behind Xiaosi and raised his eyebrows, "Is there any news from Xiaoyi?!"

Guan Yubai smiled and said nothing, and handed the silk paper in his hand directly to Si Lin.

Si Lin glanced at it casually, raised his eyebrows, and asked in fear of chaos, "Where should we fight next?"

Xiaosi couldn't help but glare at him.

For this battle, the young master has been thinking so hard that he has not gone to bed on time for several nights. The winter in southern Xinjiang is much warmer than that in the capital, so the young master should take good care of himself!

Si Lin casually put down the paper, waved his fingers and said, "Xiaosi, you don't know your young master very well. Your young master was born to live on the battlefield. During those years in the royal capital, Qingxian is Qingxian, but he is not as energetic as he is now."

Xiao Si’s lips pursed into a thin line.

Indeed, in the short half year since he came to Southern Xinjiang, the young master has indeed worked a lot hard and lost some weight, but his slightly pale face is full of energy, making Xiao Si feel like he has returned to the prosperous days in Western Xinjiang. .

"So..." One moment, Si Lin looked serious, and the next moment, he smiled unbridled and said, "Yubai, who do you want to kill next?!" Assassination is quite interesting.

Xiao Si's full of emotion was suddenly interrupted, and his face suddenly turned dark.

Guan Yubai smiled and shook his head, then said: "Xiao Si, help me grind it."

All the four lost cities in southern Xinjiang have been recaptured, and the stragglers have been almost wiped out. If these tens of thousands of troops continue to stay in the four cities of Dengli and Yongjia, it will only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Xiao Yi can't go back yet and has to delay some time for him.

It’s time for the army to “return triumphantly”!

……

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, lights and flowers are scattered along the stars.

Folklore says that this day is the day when the stars descend to the lower realm.

Early in the morning, the sound of galloping horse hooves woke Luo Yuecheng from his deep sleep with a good news.

As a fast horse galloped past, the people of Luoyue City became excited and lit firecrackers to celebrate this great victory.

After Dengli City was recaptured, Yikaluo was defeated and fled in an attempt to make a comeback. The southern Xinjiang army, under the leadership of the crown prince Xiao Yi, launched a frantic siege against him. Now, the Nanliang army was defeated and retreated to the territory of Baiyue, leaving only hundreds of remnant soldiers wandering around. It is no longer possible to make any waves in southern Xinjiang.

This also means that the battle with Nanliang is finally over!

And the army will return in triumph today.

The good news was immediately delivered to King Zhennan, who was in a good mood and sent it to Bixiaotang.

Nangong Yue held the good news in her hands, with an unstoppable smile on her face.

Xiao Fei, who came here specially to have breakfast with Nangong Yue, was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Is the eldest brother coming back?" If the eldest brother can come back before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he can also spend the Yuanxiao Festival with his sister-in-law!

Speaking of the Yuanxiao Festival, Xiao Fei couldn't help but think of last year. If her eldest brother hadn't saved her, she would have been gone. It’s been a year...

After hearing this, Nangong Yue put down the good news, her eyes dimmed slightly, and disappeared in a flash.

Neither Zhennan King nor Xiao Fei knew that Xiao Yi was in Nanliang now. I am afraid that he would not be able to come back with the army this time.

Nangong Yue did not explain, but just said: "Your eldest brother will be in Lili later. Yanding and other four cities are in dire straits and are waiting to be revitalized. Your eldest brother is the heir apparent and will not come back until the military affairs and people's livelihood have been settled. ”

Xiao Fei was a little surprised, and her original action of stroking the orange cat paused.

"Meow——"

The little orange on Xiao Fei's knees made a dissatisfied cry and raised its round little head. Xiao Fei hurriedly started moving again, stroking the orange cat's back and smoothing its fur. Xiaoju lay down again with satisfaction.

Facing Xiao Fei's worried gaze, Nangong Yue smiled slightly, "The war is over. Your eldest brother will be back sooner or later, so there is no rush now."

Sister-in-law is really reasonable! Xiao Fei couldn't help but muttered: "Brother really made a profit."

The maids waiting on the side couldn't help but purse their lips and chuckle, feeling that the eldest girl was right!

Nangong Yue's eyebrows were crescent, and she said in a good mood: "Baihui, go and ask Zhu Xing to find out when the army will return. Huamei, please go to Lin's house and tell your grandfather and Xia the good news. Sister."

The two maids were ordered to retreat.

Nangong Yue stood up with the good news and said, "Sister Fei, let's go over and tell my grandfather the good news, so that he can be happy too!" The only person that Mr. Fang cares about the most is Xiao Yi!

Xiao Fei responded.

She was about to put down Xiao Ju on her lap and let him sleep here, but Xiao Ju, the cat uncle, was not happy and protested "meow meow meow", so Xiao Fei had to hold it with difficulty. Get up and take them to Tingyuge together.

When Mrs. Fang saw the good news with his own eyes, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a smile and he kept saying hello.

Nangong Yue explained on the side that Xiao Yi expected to return to Luoyue City later, and then said jokingly: "Grandpa, it's all thanks to you this time. If it weren't for those iron arrows you went to, our Southern Xinjiang Army and Nanliang would not be able to fight against each other. I'm afraid this battle won't be over so quickly, so you should be credited with this military achievement! Sister Fei, don't you think so?"

Nangong Yue deliberately made Mrs. Fang happy, but Xiao Fei considered this issue seriously, nodded vigorously and said: "Sister-in-law, you are right. When eldest brother comes back, he must tell his father. Just talk about it."

Looking at her serious look, Nangong Yue and Mrs. Fang looked at each other and smiled. Mr. Fang stroked his beard and smiled boldly. He looked a few years younger.

Even the little maid serving in Tingyu Pavilion has a smile on her lips. Every time the Crown Princess and the eldest daughter come over, the old man will be in a particularly good mood.

Amidst the laughter and laughter, another little maid hurried into the room, bent her knees and said: "Old Master, Grandma Chu is outside asking for an audience."

Aunt Chu? Xiao Fei pursed her lips and couldn't help but think of what happened on the second day of the second grade, her face was as dark as water.

Mr. Fang frowned. Of course he still remembered the nanny next to his daughter, who came from the Fang Mansion as a dowry back then.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma Chu came to visit him. At that time, he heard that she had returned to Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and Old Man Fang was in a good mood to see her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came, she bowed and said righteously that the Crown Princess was young, did not understand the rules and etiquette, was a bit arbitrary by nature, and could not listen to the old man's kind words, so she came specifically to ask to see her, and wanted him to treat her as an elder. Come forward and give a good warning to the Crown Princess.

Mr. Fang didn't take it seriously. His grandson-in-law had always done things safely. There was no need for a slave girl who relied on her elders to tell her what to do. He scolded Aunt Chu for a few words and dismissed her casually.

But Grandma Chu is also stubborn. In the past few days, she has come to Tingyuge once a day to ask to see Mr. Fang. However, Mr. Fang refused to see him, and today is no exception.

"Let her go back." Mr. Fang said calmly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

The little maid hurriedly responded and left. The little maid had already guessed that Mrs. Fang would not see Aunt Chu, but Aunt Chu was really difficult to deal with and insisted on passing the news herself.

Bixiao Hall is so big, and Aunt Chu doesn’t avoid others. She comes to listen to the affairs of Yu Pavilion every day, and the news has already reached Nangong Yue’s ears. However, out of respect for the other old man, Nangong Yue Let the old man handle it himself.

You are just an old servant.

At this time, the little orange on Xiao Fei's knees finally woke up. After yawning, he easily jumped to the ground and called out "meow meow meow" a few times, as if to say, I'm hungry. , is there anything to eat?

Mr. Fang is very familiar with the two cats raised by Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, especially this orange cat. Xiao Fei came to play chess with him every day, and this orange cat often came with her. When it barked, Mr. Fang knew that it was hungry and hurriedly ordered the little maid to prepare fish for it.

Being interrupted by Xiao Ju, the three of them forgot about Grandma Chu in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Xiao Ju was satisfied with his meal, Mr. Fang remembered another thing and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, Sister Fei, come with me. Grandpa has got some good things recently..."

Mr. Fang showed a mysterious smile. He made a gesture, and the little maid serving in the room pushed his wheelchair towards the study.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei exchanged confused glances and followed side by side.

Mr. Fang asked the maid to push his wheelchair behind the carved mahogany desk, then took out a red lacquered wood box from the side and placed it on the desk.

Judging from the crashing sound the box made when it fell, the contents of this box were quite heavy.

Seeing the curious expressions on Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei's faces, Mr. Fang smiled proudly and opened the box in front of them...

Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she and Nangong Yue looked at each other, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law blurted out at the same time: "The Three Treasures of Seal Stone!"

The so-called "Three Treasures of Seal Stones" are Tianhuang Stone, Chicken Blood Stone and Hibiscus Stone.

These three types are treasures among seal stones, each with its own characteristics. Tianhuang stone is warm and noble, hibiscus stone is bright and pure, and chicken blood stone is beautiful in color and quality. It is difficult to distinguish between the three.

Mr. Fang stroked his beard and smiled so much that the smile lines on his face were squeezed together, and he was in a good mood. Even if there is a treasure, someone must know the goods.

His box contains not only the Three Treasures of Seal Stones, but also several of each type of seal stone. It may seem like a box of stones, but in the eyes of knowledgeable people, it is priceless!

"Ah Yue, sister Fei, you two can pick one of these seal stones I just got recently and carve a seal on them, right?"

Around the Chinese New Year, Old Mrs. Fang received many gifts from relatives of the Fang family and the stewards below, including these seal stones. As soon as Old Mrs. Fang saw them, he knew that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei would like them. Sure enough!

"Grandpa, my grandson-in-law is not going to be polite to you!" Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Grandpa, I heard Ayi say that you know stones best, how about you help me pick a seal stone?"

Old Master Fang agreed. He took out a few seal stones from the box and put them aside. He murmured: "Ayue, you have a gentle temperament, so Tian Huang Stone is more suitable for you."

As he spoke, he picked up one of the translucent Tianhuang stones. It was delicate, warm and smooth. When it was placed in the sunlight, one could see faintly detailed textures.

Old man Fang said with satisfaction: "Ah Yue, what do you think of this place? You can carve a cicada as a seal button, and the texture of the stone can match the texture of the cicada's wings."

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also came over to look at the pattern of the field yellow stone. Xiao Fei couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, grandpa has a great idea. I happen to want to learn seal cutting recently. Can I draw a cicada for you according to the stone pattern?" "Said, Xiao Fei was already gearing up and couldn't wait.

Nangong Yue agreed with a smile. Seeing this, Xiao Fei hurriedly ordered the maid to serve the pen and ink, and couldn't wait to draw on the other desk in front of the window...

Mr. Fang and Nangong Yue looked at each other and both laughed, knowing that Xiao Fei might have forgotten to pick a seal stone for herself.

Nangong Yue then suggested: "Grandpa, why don't you choose one for Sister Fei as well."

Mr. Fang glanced at Xiao Fei. Under the warm winter sun, Xiao Fei's profile looked so soft, as crystal clear as the dew on that winter morning.

Mr. Fang took out a piece of hibiscus stone from the box. It looked like jade but not jade, clear and bright, delicate and pure, clean and self-sufficient...just like Xiao Fei.

Mr. Fang and Nangong Yue looked at each other and smiled. Nangong Yue said again: "Grandpa, A Yi's seal carving skills are pretty good. When he comes back and carves the seal for me, can I show it to you?" ”

"Ayi can also engrave seals?"

Mr. Fang raised his eyebrows with interest and chatted with Nangong Yue about his grandson with great interest.

The atmosphere in the small study room is warm and peaceful.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, news came from Zhu Xing that the army would arrive at Luoyue City on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Fu Yunhe would also return with the army.

Nangong Yue immediately took Xiao Fei to Lin's house and handed the good news to Han Qixia.

Han Qixia was indeed overjoyed, and she happily discussed with Xiao Fei the matter of going to welcome him that day. They also decided to book a seat at the Zuixiao Tower at the gate of the city, so that they could see with their own eyes the grand occasion when the army entered the city.

Nangong Yue looked at Han Qixia with a smile, feeling happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

Amidst the ardent expectations of the whole city, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was the day of the Lantern Festival. Originally, Luoyue City was filled with a strong festive atmosphere, and the people in the city knew that some soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army were returning to the city in triumph today. The people spontaneously gathered near the city gate, waiting for the soldiers. return with glory.

On the street opposite the city gate, the restaurants and shops on both sides were crowded with people. The people were all eagerly waiting for it. It was even more lively than the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Guards in armor stood along the street at ten paces, blocking the enthusiastic people on both sides of the street.

The sun was rising slowly in the eastern sky. Halfway through the hour, I could vaguely hear the rumble of footsteps mixed with the sound of horse hooves heading this way...

In Zuixiao Tower near the city gate, Han Qixia, Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni were sitting in the elegant seats facing the street on the second floor of a restaurant, facing the window, looking eagerly from the window towards the city gate. All the girls were affected by today's atmosphere, and everyone's eyes were shining like gems.

"Sister Xia, third sister, it's Chenshi now." Xiao Fei looked at the sky and said, "I heard from my sister-in-law that the army should arrive between Chenshi and Sishi..."

Han Qixia responded, her face slightly red, she lowered her head and looked out the window, and a voice in her heart sighed and said: Cousin He will be back soon.

At this time, Xiao Ni seemed to see something and stretched her neck to look down.

When Xiao Fei was about to ask, she saw Xiao Ni look back at her and said: "Sister, Sister Xia, I saw Miss Gu is here too, I'll go say hello."

Han Qixia didn't know Miss Gu, but Xiao Fei remembered Xiao Ni's savior. Now, it was appropriate for Xiao Ni to say hello.

"Third sister, go ahead." Xiao Fei nodded slightly.

After Xiao Ni got up, she straightened her skirt and walked out of the elegant seat. She saw Miss Gu wearing a blue brocade t-shirt walking towards the third floor at the courtesy of the waiter. go.

"Miss Gu!" Xiao Ni hurriedly called to the other party and stepped forward quickly.

"Miss Xiao San," Miss Gu turned to follow the sound and smiled gently, "I didn't expect that the girl is here, what a coincidence. Miss Xiao San, I have booked a private seat on the third floor. Miss, why not Come with me and talk about it?"

Xiao Ni naturally agreed and followed Miss Gu to a private room on the third floor.

After the waiter served hot tea and snacks, he left.

After Xiao Ni took a sip of hot tea, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Miss Gu, I need to thank you again for your life-saving grace today."

Miss Gu, who was holding the teacup, looked up at Xiao Fei, raised her right eyebrow slightly, and asked: "Miss Xiao, is it possible that your asthma..."

Xiao Ni nodded and said: "Probably because of the winter, my asthma has recurred several times in the past few days, but I'm fine after taking the girl's medicine. Miss Gu, your family medicine is really It's effective." As she said that, she bowed cautiously and said, "Xiao Ni would like to thank you."

"Miss Xiao San, there is no need to be polite." Miss Gu supported Xiao Ni with a smile, and then changed the subject, "Miss Xiao San, my sister was supposed to accompany me today to watch the army return in triumph, but her body The discomfort didn't come, and I fell in love with the girl. How about she stay here and talk to me?"

Xiao Ni was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile, then turned to tell Sang Rou: "Sang Rou, go down and talk to the elder girl."

Sang Roufu accepted the order, closed the door of the dining room and retreated.

"Miss Gu, your sister..."

Xiao Ni wanted to greet Miss Gu’s sister, but she stopped abruptly mid-sentence. She seemed to smell a familiar fragrance, a fragrance like gardenia...

Following that, a cold feeling came from deep in her heart, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"Huh-huh-"

Xiao Ni's breathing began to become heavier, longer and deeper, as if her body was not her own.

Her body went limp and fell to the ground, hunched over with her chest in her arms. She hugged herself with her arms and almost curled up into a ball. She was trembling all over, like a fallen leaf trembling in the cold wind.

Her asthma attacks again!

Xiao Ni's mind went blank and she couldn't think. She could only say in pain: "Miss Gu... Ma... please... call my maid... over."

Miss Gu stood up and walked to Xiao Ni, squatted down, looked at her gently and said, "Miss Xiao San, don't worry, I have medicine with me."

Xiao Ni's dark eyes lit up, like a dying person grasping the last straw, and murmured: "Medicine...medicine..."

But Miss Gu smiled, her gentle smile with a hint of interest, and she nonchalantly played with the white jade plum blossom pendant hanging at her waist.

Xiao Ni's heart sank instantly. Thinking of the fragrance of gardenias and the other party's attitude at the moment, she still didn't know there was a fraud in it...

Miss Gu stood up, looked down at Xiao Ni, and said slowly: "I have a lot of medicine, and I can give it to you, but..."

Xiao Ni's body trembled even more, her eyes fixed on the string of white jade plum blossom pendants.
