[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 149 [English]

Chapter 144 Jiuli

Xiao Chiye hurried back and rested for the night. He would have to get on his horse and return after midnight tonight.he The schedule was tight, and these two days were saved with great effort. In order not to delay the transportation of baggage to the battlefield, I ran for eight or nine days in a row, just to see Shen Zechuan.

But who thought he would be so angry?

Xiao Chiye held up Meng, took off Meng’s anklets and put them on again, causing Meng to flap his wings and lose his temper.Xiao Chiye also lost his temper and became annoyed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Ji Gang strolled back with the bird cage and was surprised when he saw Xiao Chiye. After hesitating for a moment, he came in anyway.Xiao Chiye bowed to his master, he was so tall that Ji Gang, who was standing on the edge, had to look up at him.

“The war in the north is tense,” Ji Gang said, handing over the birdcage, “Your master must have fought hard.”

Xiao Chiye hung up the birdcage and said, “It’s hard work. Master is thinking about you and will mention it from time to time.”

Ji Gang put his hands behind his back and said, “I have never fought in a war, so I am of no use. Do you have something important to do when you come back in such a hurry?”

Xiao Chizhi thought that he had nothing to do yet, so he responded: “I have been given the space in the Beiyuan Hunting Ground. The Forbidden Army plans to stay there. I will come back to ask Lan Zhou about the progress. When the time is almost up, I will arrange for someone to come over.”

Ji Gang knew that these things were discussed in detail by the others, so he nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

Xiao Chiye rarely met Ji Gang and took the opportunity to say, “Did Lan Zhou fall ill on the way to Chazhou? Master, he was picky. When he was at home, you kept an eye on him. He picked up a little bit of everything and was willing to take medicine when he was sick. When he went out to do things, everyone listened to him. No one was watching him, so he dared to pick.”

As soon as Ji Gang heard this, he remembered it and said, “I wanted to say he yesterday!”

“He gave you a diversion,” Xiao Chiye finally stopped fussing, raised his arms and walked away, “he has a guilty conscience, and he definitely doesn’t dare to mention it to you.”

Ji Gang nodded and felt something was wrong, so he asked, “Why are you guilty? Is there anything Chuan’er is hiding from me?”

“Yes,” Xiao Chiye frowned slightly and said, “he made such a large incision on his left hand, and the return journey was long, and the medicine was not changed frequently on the way. When I watched it last night, my palms were soaked with sweat.”

Ji Gang’s expression changed, and he asked: “Where is he?”

“Sleep,” Xiao Chiye paused for a moment, then continued, “I slept late last night and was very tired. I felt tired when I woke up this morning. From now on, Master will still have to keep an eye on him, lest he doesn’t take his body seriously. I am far away from the north, so many things can only be left to his own devices. He said in the letter, if he wants to hide it from me, I won’t know anything.”

Ji Gang straightened his body and said, “I have to watch him and change his dressing.” After thinking about it, he sighed again, “I didn’t raise him in the temple before, and the doctors we hired were all useless. I don’t see why. He’s body is no better than others. The longer it goes, the harder it is to take care of him. You also know, heWhen I entered the capital, I was first punished by the imperial edict, then beaten by the imperial staff, and then kicked by you…that kick was so cruel!If it hadn’t been for the secret help of the old acquaintances of Jinyiwei, Chuan’er would have suffered a lot of losses at that time, and I took medicine to cover up people’s eyes.Now I am worried day and night, just because of fear.”

Xiao Chiye was silent for a moment, then suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down.He held his head on the ground solemnly and kowtowed to Ji Gang.

Ji Gang was immediately shocked and said, “What are you doing?”

In this posture, Xiao Chiye said to the ground: “Six years ago, I rode in Zhongbo. I hated Shen Wei the most. I despised him for abandoning the city and fled, and I was afraid of the Queen Mother supporting a puppet, so I kicked Lan Zhou in the palace. Master is right, I kicked him hard at that time, because I wanted to kill him.”

Ji Gang choked for a moment, and was afraid that Shen Zechuan in the room would hear him, so he stopped talking and sighed heavily.

Xiao Chiye calmed down for a while and then said: “Lan Zhou is ill now. It’s my fault. The doctor at Zhongbo is not good enough. I have already asked Master Yideng. When the war eases after this autumn, my master will also come and check his pulse. Even if Lan Zhou is difficult to take care of, I have to take care of him. But I am far away in Libei now. I can’t delay my troops and deliver food. I can’t see him.”, I am not at ease.There are too many things like this in Chazhou. I have no relatives or friends in Zhongbo, and only Master can entrust me to him.Master, Lan Zhou encountered a disaster when he was young, and he likes to hide his hurts and pains, but he treats you as his father. As long as you are by his side, he will always take care of you.I have no other request. I just ask you to scold him a few times so that he can understand his mistakes and understand his pain.Next time you do something like this, you will slap me, Xiao Ce’an!”

Ji Gang stayed where he was in astonishment, feeling that something was wrong with his words, but for a moment he couldn’t tell what was wrong.he looked at the window, and there was the sound of a tea cup tapping gently inside the bamboo curtain, but there was no movement at all.

After catching all the frogs in the pond and having dinner, the yard was very quiet.

Xiao Chiye went to take a bath after dinner, and Lang Tao Xuejin and Meng were both fed.Shen Zechuan fished out a handful of newly planted Jiuli Xiang from under the eaves of the station. There was no one else in the courtyard. In the afterglow of the setting sun, some refreshments were placed on the small table under the eaves.Shen Zechuan sat down and stared at the setting sun in the distance.

Xiao Chiye came out soaked in water and squatted behind Shen Zechuan while wiping his hair.Shen Zechuan grabbed Jiuli Xiang and turned around.Xiao Chiye bowed his head and kissed Shen Zechuan.The setting sun is orange, the world is silent, and even the wind is very sensible, leaving this square inch of courtyard to the two of them.

Shen Zechuan suddenly turned around and threw Xiao Chiye down under the eaves.Xiao Chiye leaned half against the door frame, hugged the person tightly, pressed the tip of his nose against Shen Zechuan’s cheek, and said angrily: “You pressed me and hurt me.”

Shen Zechuan picked up the broken one and said, “I’ll touch it and see.”

Xiao Chiye didn’t let him look, but grabbed Shen Zechuan’s wrists and pulled them towards him.He has a strong body, and it is not difficult to support Shen Zechuan at all. He only supports one leg, and even sitting down looks uninhibited.The two of them stayed together from dusk to dark.

In fact, Xiao Chiye has been unhappy for the past half month.

The Sha San Battalion captured by the Forbidden Army was given to Guo Weili. When Guo Weili came to hand over, he met Gujin. Both sides disliked each other, and there was friction among the soldiers below.Xiao Chiye swallowed his breath and took over Wu Ziyu’s position in Bianbo Camp, but escorting supplies was far more difficult than imagined.He was ordered around by the generals of the major camps at the battle site. When he retreated to the big border, he had to report everything to Xiao Jiming in detail. After leaving the military tent, he had to deal with merchants from Luoxia Pass and even Huaizhou. He often drank wine all night, mounted his horse and rushed to another camp before dawn.

But he didn’t plan to tell Shen Zechuan any of these things.

Xiao Chiye thought of the long tune of Hongyan Mountain. He couldn’t sing it, so he could only hum it playfully.Shen Zechuan rested his head on someone, clutched the hem of his clothes, closed his eyes and slept in the fragrance.Xiao Chiye hugged Shen Zechuan, humming that it was almost time, picked him up and took him back to the house.

Without letting go of Shen Zechuan’s fingertips, Xiao Chiye leaned over and blew into his palm, squatted down and looked at it for a moment, and said, “I’m still angry.”

Shen Zechuan half-opened his eyes, poked Xiao Chiye’s cheek, and whispered, “Don’t be angry.”

“You will lie to me, you…” Xiao Chiye was speechless for a moment, “The second young master is so easy to deceive? You can bully the innocent young master.”

Shen Zechuan suddenly lay down on his stomach and faced Xiao Chiye head to head.

Damn, this look.

Xiao Chiye could only swallow his anger, pinched Shen Zechuan’s cheek, and said hoarsely: “Just try to be coquettish with me, it’s no use, Shen Lanzhou. If you stab yourself next time, I will disappear in Libei. I am no longer there, do you remember?”

Shen Zechuan nodded honestly.

Xiao Chiye came closer, knocked Shen Zechuan with his forehead, and said, “I’m leaving.”

Shen Zechuan didn’t let go and said, “When will you come back next time?”

Xiao Chiye couldn’t answer, so he touched Shen Zechuan’s cheek with his fingertips and said, “As soon as possible, there are a lot of things to do. It will be easier in autumn.”

It was midnight. Shen Zechuan loosened his fingers and looked at Xiao Chiye.

Xiao Chiye had never found it so difficult to stand up. He quickly tied on his arms and put down the bed curtain. Finally, he lowered his hand and scraped the tip of Shen Zechuan’s nose and said, “Sleep well, Lan Zhou.”

Lang Tao Xuejin left the city at night and flew northward following Xiao Chiye.

Chenyang had already met him halfway. Xiao Chiye had to sleep for a few hours when he arrived at Bianbo Camp, and then went north to the battle site.At the same time Xiao Chiye left Cizhou, a donkey entered Zhongbo.

The donkey was carrying a man. The man was lying down and could not tell whether he was alive or dead.Several hungry cat meows came from the cuffs. The man struggled to open his eyes, looked at the dark road ahead, and closed them again.
