Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 204
"Uncle and Brother Zhen just left for a while, so I thought I didn't find you."

Yuan Chun's voice came from behind the screen, and there was a hint of joy in the gentleness.

Obviously going out of the palace to play siege put her in a good mood.

"If you know you can still come, let them wait."

Although it wasn't far from here, Feng Yibo still had a dull pain in his inner thigh after riding a horse for a while.

As soon as his butt touched the stool, he wanted to relax, and when he heard the words, he got up quickly and replied:
"Let the empress wait for a long time, and I hope you will forgive me!"

"Heck! You're just sitting there, and I never blamed you."

Seeing his restraint, Yuan Chun couldn't help chuckling twice, and said again:

"It's rare to be able to go out of the palace again, so I wanted to meet my family, but unfortunately neither my father nor Baoyu followed, so I called you to talk to each other."

After a long time, I made up the numbers?
Hearing the ease in Yuan Chun's words, Feng Yibo was no longer restrained.

At the moment, his legs are slightly separated, and he is actually sitting on the stool.

Like chatting about family affairs on weekdays, he smiled and said:
"So that the empress can know that I have just returned from overseas, and I haven't had time to go to Rongfu to meet the old lady, let alone my uncle and brother Bao."

After a pause, he added:

"Surely Uncle and Brother Zhen have already talked about it?"

Yuan Chun seemed to like this atmosphere very much, and his words were more cordial, saying:

"On the contrary, they are all very good. I also said that Baoyu has also improved recently. He has begun to love brothers and is getting closer to Brother Huan."

Baoyu and Jiahuan?
Feng Yibo was taken aback when he heard the words, and then echoed with a smile:
"Brother Bao was closer to his sisters at first, but now he is closer to his brothers. Obviously he has grown up."

It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, and Baoyu was brought up by Yuanchun when she was a child.

Therefore, looking at Baoyu really looks like a child raised by himself.

Yuan Chun would naturally like to hear such words.

Hearing this, I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, saying:
"Yes, in a blink of an eye, Baoyu will be thirteen, so it's time to arrange a marriage for him."

Just after finishing this sentence, Yuan Chun suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Speaking of marriage, I heard from my mother earlier that your marriage with Big Sister Xue is scheduled for the fifteenth of this month, but is there still time?"

After Feng Yibo came back, before Emperor Jingshun decided to fight, the marriage was already agreed upon.

Mrs. Wang happened to be entering the palace at that time, so she mentioned this matter.

Now when it comes to Baoyu's marriage, Yuan Chun naturally thinks of Feng Yibo in front of him.

Feng Yibo didn't think too much, he just smiled and replied:

"September 25th was previously set, but now that there is a siege, it is changed to September [-]th, and it is too late."

Because the siege was delayed, Yuan Chun didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he just said:

"It's a lot of trouble."

Feng Yibo naturally wouldn't show any dissatisfaction at this time, and took the opportunity to express his opinion:

"It's not less than ten days and a half months. Kuang is so lucky to be honored. It's something no one else can ask for."

"Feng Yuan is blessed with holy grace, so he should focus more on state affairs, and not worry about some family matters."

These words are extremely thoughtful, and no one can find fault.

Yuan Chun's shadow on the screen moved slightly, apparently nodding, and she said again:
"I've made a note. At that time, I will ask the Holy Majesty for an order for Big Sister Xue."

This is a promise she made a long time ago, and naturally she will not forget it.

Feng Yibo was also delighted when he heard the words, and immediately got up again and said:
"Thank you, ma'am!"

The two of them were like this, chatting about the daily life of each other.

Feng Yibo is well-informed and his words are thoughtful.

There's nothing he can't say.

Just like a qualified fan.

The chatting of Yuan Chun was very lively, and it took almost half an hour before I knew it.

Feng Yibo felt that it was almost done, and was about to stand up and leave.

But suddenly he heard the sound of people shouting horse neighing outside.

Yuan Chun also heard it, and immediately ordered:
"Eunuch Lao Xia, go and see what's going on outside, so don't disturb Sheng Jia."

"Yes!"

Xia Shouzhong immediately responded and went out to check the news.

After only going out for a while, he turned back and shouted:

"Something has happened! The Tartars are coming!"

Xia Shouzhong's face was full of panic, he didn't even salute, and he said anxiously:
"It's said outside that someone from the capital informed that Gubeikou is about to pass through!"

"what?"

Yuan Chun behind the screen suddenly stood up and said in disbelief:
"Has Tatar cleared?"

Feng Yibo on the side was also secretly surprised, thinking about what to do with him.

I heard Xia Shouzhong said anxiously at this moment:
"It's about time! The Holy Majesty has already returned to the capital first, so I'll ask someone to prepare the car, and your empress will follow me!"

Gubeikou is [-] miles northeast of Huanghai Iron Net Mountain.

If it is really cleared by the Tatar cavalry, you will be here almost instantly!
No wonder Emperor Jingshun was in a hurry to leave.

If it is later, Dawei may have more Jingkang affairs!
But even if he leaves, he should at least bring Yuan Chun with him!
Feng Yibo was still thinking about something, Yuan Chun had already changed into casual clothes under the service of the maid.

Before he could take off the phoenix crown, he rushed out.

At this moment, another eunuch came to report, and as soon as he entered the room, he said:

"I'm telling you, Ma'am, just now someone reported that the Tatar army is attacking Gubeikou, and they may not be able to defend it!"

"Where is the Holy One now?"

Yuan Chun obviously didn't believe that Emperor Jingshun would leave her and return to Beijing alone.

If it were true that she was captured by the Tatars, Emperor Jingshun would lose face even if he returned to Beijing.

And when she thought about it, it was undoubtedly safest to be beside Emperor Jingshun at this time.

Unfortunately, let her down.

The little eunuch thought she was worried about Emperor Jingshun, and immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Holy Majesty is being protected by the Forbidden Captain Long, and he has already left on horseback first!"

Most of Long Jinwei are descendants of aristocratic families, so they are naturally divided into several factions just like their parents.

Most of the Long Jinwei who followed the emperor this time were new nobles.

Just like that Qiu Peng.

Only now did Feng Yibo understand, no wonder Emperor Jing Shun left without Yuan Chun.

Now it seems that they are likely to throw it away on purpose!
Fortunately, there are still many founding figures in the team, and Yuanchun must not be ignored.

It's me, I'm afraid no one will take care of it.

Thinking of this, he quickly saluted:

"Your Majesty, don't delay, just follow them!"

Just as Yuan Chun was about to speak, someone shouted outside the tent:
"The carriage and horses have been prepared for the empress, please get on the carriage quickly!"

The palace people in the tent suddenly became chaotic, several court ladies surrounded Yuan Chun and left.

Feng Yibo also hurried out.

I saw that the outside was already chaotic, and everyone was running around.

Obviously the emperor is gone, and there are no leaders walking here.

The only good thing is that although the outside looks chaotic, most people are still used to it and didn't come to Yuanchun to disturb it.

Because the horse he tied outside is still there.

Here Yuan Chun was getting into the car, and Feng Yibo went to lead the horse.

Just as he was about to untie the reins, he paused.

Then he turned back to the tent and went around behind the screen to glance around.

When I saw that there were tea sets and pastries on the table over there.

There are still a few water bladders under the table, but most of them have been deflated.

Apparently it was the water used to make tea just after entertaining them.

He stepped forward and pulled off a dress with dragons and phoenixes hanging on the side.

Knowing that it belonged to Yuan Chun, but couldn't care less about other things.

Wrap the pastry and three water sacs with water, holding the four corners together.

Just make a package.

Leaving the wide sleeves behind, he twisted them again.

Put it on your back and tie it to your chest.

From here to the capital, although it is only a hundred miles, there is no guarantee that the road will be smooth.

It is best to bring some dry food and water by your side.

It's troublesome to say, but it only took Feng Yibo a moment.

When he came out, Yuan Chun's carriage had just set off.

Feng Yibo was not in a hurry, so he rode his horse and followed the carriage to the outside of the camp.

Along the way, it has already been flying like a chicken and a dog.

Fortunately, everyone knew Yuan Chun's driver, so no one dared to stop him.

When I was out and about, I found that the outside was already in a mess.

After walking out for about a cup of tea, I passed by his big tent.

He dismounted again to fetch something.

But he found that the place had been searched in a mess, but fortunately he found what he needed.

His gold sore medicine and badger seed oil were not taken away.

It doesn't matter anything else, it's fatal without the ointment.

If it weren't for the burning of the inner thigh, he would have galloped away long ago.

When he came out, he was not in a hurry.

When he thought about it, it was not so easy for the Tatar cavalry to break through.

Even if he really breaks through, he still has a horse.

Most people who can run this trip.

Except for the big tent, they left the camp completely.

All the way there are people in a hurry.

Feng Yibo also followed the crowd and walked forward.

Not far away, he caught up with Yuan Chun's carriage again.

The little eunuch who was driving the car was in a panic, and the car was about to fly upside down.

There is a woman at the car window who is holding the car window and looking out.

Who else but Yuan Chun?

Suddenly seeing Feng Yibo approaching, she exclaimed:

"Feng Yuan?"

Feng Yibo looked around looking for his reputation, and seeing Yuan Chun still wearing a phoenix crown, he responded with a smile.

"Miss."

He rode his horse over, drove alongside the carriage, and asked:
"Why are there not many people around the empress to serve you?"

"I left...too quickly, they all scattered."

Yuan Chun had a look of horror on his face, and asked:
"Can you come with me?"

She was bumped and her speech was broken.

But the pleading in his eyes was extremely obvious!
"This……"

Feng Yibo hesitated for a moment, then thought that he would not be able to walk fast at all.

I was about to slow down and ease the pain in my thigh.

Immediately nodded, smiled and said:
"Okay, I will escort the empress back to the capital together."

"A word is settled!"

With his own people by his side, Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forehead?"

Why are you still being relied upon?
Feng Yibo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then saw her looking at him expectantly.

Nodding helplessly, he replied:

"It's a word."

They walked a few miles, and the pedestrians around them had been left behind.

Just at this moment, I heard screams behind me!
There is also a faint "rumbling", thunderous sound!

Oops!

Feng Yibo, who was still holding on to luck, felt his heart sinking at this moment!
Because he knew that the Tatar cavalry might really break through!
From Gubeikou encountering Tatar customs, to inform the capital, and then send a letter from the capital.

There are at least three hundred miles back and forth!

Hurry up, it only takes half a day.

In other words, Gubeikou may have only been guarded for half a day?
This is ridiculous, right?

Feng Yibo was about to hit the horse, get out of here quickly.

At least he has a horse, which is faster than walking behind.

The chances of escape are extremely high!
But the little eunuch who drove Yuanchun obviously also found the Tatar cavalry!

In a panic, there was a "bang".

The carriage turned over!

"Ah! Help!"

Yuan Chun's exclamation came from the carriage.

Feng Yibo only hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and reined in.

It wasn't until he went over to pull Yuan Chun out from the car window that he noticed that the leg of the horse pulling the cart was broken.

The little eunuch who was driving the car was also thrown far away, moaning in pain and powerlessness.

At this time, people kept running towards this side, Feng Yibo didn't have time to think about it.

He quickly helped Yuan Chun onto the horse, and sat on the back of the saddle with one leg.

Without a saddle, he couldn't sit securely, so he could only hug Yuanchun tightly.

When Yuan Chun was held in his arms, his whole body froze.

But thinking of the urgency of the matter, he didn't care about being shy, and said quickly:

"Quick, go! They're coming!"

At this time, shouts and killings were heard from behind, Feng Yibo looked back, and there were already cavalry rushing here!

He hurriedly urged the horse to run, and there were occasional walkers along the way, all of which were thrown behind him one by one.

I ran like this for a long time, not only did I hardly see anyone on the road.

Even the road can hardly be seen.

Because it was already dark.

Feng Yibo didn't sit on the saddle, he just sat on the side.

Wrapping Yuanchun with both hands, he held the reins again.

The posture is very awkward.

The pain in the inner thigh was unbearable again, so he slowed down the horse.

Feng Yibo hesitated for a moment, then adjusted the horse's head again.

If you keep walking along the road, maybe you will be overtaken.

It's better to dodge first and let Ma Xie rest.

"Where is this going?"

Yuan Chun couldn't help becoming more nervous when he saw that Feng Yibo was not following the right path.

Feng Yibo even felt her trembling, and quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, let's hide for a while, and continue our journey in the daytime."

Today is August 24, and although the sky is full of stars, it cannot illuminate.

The two groped and came to a ruined wall somewhere.

Feng Yibo tied up the horse, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and found a corner with a roof that could leeward the wind.

Yuan Chun was highly nervous all the way, and only now relaxed a little, feeling tired and hungry all at once.

"Goo~"

Although the night was not deep, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.

Yuan Chun's stomach growled, and he suddenly felt the extreme feeling just now.

Feng Yibo unwrapped the package on his back, took out the pastry and water bag, and said:

"Young lady, eat something first."

Seeing that Yuan Chun didn't move, he added thoughtfully:
"Don't worry, this is taken from your account."

Yuan Chun was a little surprised to take it, and after a taste, it really was a pastry from the palace.

He took another two sips from the water bag.

He couldn't help but admire Feng Yibo's foresight.

In such a mess, he also thought about food and water.

It's not like myself, spreading the panic to the people below.

If he hadn't urged him so hard, those court ladies and eunuchs would not have separated from him.

Feng Yibo also ate some pastries and drank some water.

After thinking about it, I put the remaining pastries and water sacs into my own package.

Handing the clothes to Yuanchun, he said:

"Your Majesty, the night is as cold as water, wrap yourself in this."

Yuan Chun took the clothes, but didn't look at them carefully.

He groped and leaned against the corner.

She was highly stressed today, and by now she was exhausted.

After a while, the person leaned there and fell asleep.

Feng Yibo thought for a while, and leaned against her.

It was very cold, and he shrank slightly.

In the middle of the night, it was even colder.

He curled up for a moment, and was suddenly awakened by the pain in the inner thigh.

Before I knew it, a waning moon had risen in the sky.

Borrowing the moonlight, Feng Yibo took a look at Yuan Chun.

Seeing that she was breathing steadily, she was obviously asleep.

He moved away, gritted his teeth and took off his pants.

Fumbled for golden sore medicine and badger seed oil.

"Hi~!"

After taking the medicine, he felt much cooler, Feng Yibo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Yuan Chun heard the voice in a daze, thinking that Feng Yibo was injured and didn't say anything.

Immediately moved over, wanting to help.

The moonlight was hazy, and Yuan Chun was sleepy too.

In short, it is not clear at all.

She could only vaguely see Feng Yibo's outline, and immediately stretched out her hand to pull it.

Feng Yibo was crossing his legs, drying the wound on his inner thigh.

Unprepared, she turned around as soon as she was pulled.

Yuan Chun thought he was injured, so he reached out to help.

But she slept in a daze, and couldn't see clearly at all, so she frowned and squinted.

The night is hazy, sleepy eyes are hazy, and I still can't see clearly.

While stretching out his hand, he moved his head closer, wanting to take a closer look!
The jade hand is slightly cool, under the moonlight.

Yuan Chun looked confused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his red lips opened and closed.

"hiss!"

Feng Yibo couldn't help but move his waist.

"Well?"

Yuan Chun's eyes widened suddenly.

"Guru~"
