Chapter 307
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jin Xi looked at the dozen or so full boxes on the ground, looking and looking again and again, feeling that she was not fully prepared.After checking the list for a while, I returned four or five things and went in, still looking uneasy.

Qin Xiao sat on the Luohan couch in front of the window, holding the rosters of the generals of each battalion in his hand, but kept his eyes on the little woman.Seeing her standing in the cage all over the floor, looking uneasy, Qin Xiao put down the roster.Leaning sideways on the Kang table, resting her head on her hands, she concentrated on watching her toss the things in the box back and forth.

The picture in front of him became more and more familiar, and it was gradually superimposed with the picture deep in his memory. The long-lost warmth made Qin Xiao sigh in his heart.

Before my father went out every time, my mother helped my father prepare his luggage like this.A pair of clothes, a pair of shoes, and even a pair of socks have to be tangled for a long time.Every time, I packed more than a dozen boxes and cages so that my father could take them with me.

My father promised well, but in fact, when he went to the expedition, he only picked the most important things to take with him, and left the rest in the yamen.Fighting a war is not traveling in mountains and rivers. When you are desperate, the enemy will not be merciful because you are well dressed.

What's more, what Shen Dayou pursues is that before the enemy, the general should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.Ordinary soldiers carry a burden and go into battle on two feet. As a commander, he drags a few carts of luggage, which is unreasonable!
He didn't understand what his father was doing at the time, so if he didn't take it, he told his mother not to prepare it.Isn't this a matter of one sentence?

What's more, my mother knew that my father would not take these things out of the city, but she still prepared extremely meticulously, and even woke up in the middle of the night because she was struggling with whether to bring more thick robes or more thin robes.

All kinds of puzzles when he was young, now he understands everything.

"Xi'er..." Qin Xiao called out shyly, watching Jin Xi turn his face away and wait for him to finish, he didn't know what he wanted to say.

"What do you want to tell me?" Jin Xi didn't wait for his next words, walked slowly through the cage, walked up to him, and gently held Qin Xiao's hand.

The woman's hand was very soft and cold, and the cold fingertips rested on his hand. The cold feeling penetrated to the bottom of his heart. Qin Xiao subconsciously clasped Jin Xi's hand in the palm of his hand, and tightened it a little. My calm mind suddenly became confused, I didn't know whether my desperate decision was right or wrong.

Qin Xiao pulled both hands of the woman up and held them in his palms, kissed them lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to tell you, just remember one sentence, don't wrong yourself at any time. Don't worry about me , eat well, sleep well, gain weight and wait for me to come back!"

There were many candle shadows, and the orange light and shadow dyed Qin Xiao's dark eyes with warmth. Recently, after running around all day, his cheeks became thinner, his outline became more distinct, and his expression became sharper.Without anger and prestige, the whole person is a little more mature and stable.

Jin Xi raised his eyes and looked at him, with reluctance written all over his head and toes, but he had to suppress this emotion, and hummed with a strong nasal sound.

She turned her face away quickly, not wanting Qin Xiao to see the water in her eyes.As a woman of Marquis Qingyuan, she must not let her weakness hinder a man's progress.

"Ah Xiao!" Clearly yearning for the warmth of his palms, Jin Xi was afraid that standing beside him for a while would make her cry, so she quickly withdrew her hand and opened the box closest to her, "This box is some ready-made medicines. Liuying Pills, Bupleurum Powder, Yunnan Baiyao, and these medicinal wines for treating traumatic injuries... I have divided up the best prescriptions for each of them, and the prescriptions are also included. In case of discomfort, it is also an emergency."

"Okay!" Seeing the woman shrugging her shoulders and her nasal voice becoming more and more serious, Qin Xiao's palms were clenched into fists, and he forcibly choked out a good word.If he said one more word, he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave.

"In Kucha, there are four seasons in a day, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge. I boiled these supplements to regulate temperature and regulate qi, and I boiled them into ointment. Looking back, I will ask Zhou Qingniu and others to make water for you to take."

Knowing that there was a military doctor accompanying her, most of the things she had prepared were useless, so Jin Xi went to the famous Xinglintang pharmacy in the city and prepared dozens of copies of all kinds of patented medicines, and put them in boxes.

In addition to just in case, it is more at ease.

In the dead of night, Jin Xi told him everything he could think of. He nestled in Qin Xiao's arms and struggled for a while, then got up and brought the sable cloaks Qiu Shi sent to him, bowed his head and said, "This is Zhao Fuqiu. Sent by Madam!"

"It's rare that Mrs. Qiu has the heart, so put it away first!" Qin Xiao glanced at it as he spoke.

The five fur cloaks of the same style were all made of solid mink, two pure white, two pure black, and one dyed withered grass color.Not to mention the shiny and soft texture, the most rare thing is that there are no fancy parquets. The lining is also plain duo satin, and it is one size shorter than the usual leather cloak, which is most suitable for wearing on horseback.

I didn't expect Mrs. Qiu to understand this!Qin Xiao sighed casually, then sat up straight suddenly, "Give me a try!"

Jin Xi shook off the fur cloak with complicated emotions, and waited for him to put it on.Looking at the slightly skinny leather cloak, Jin Xi was speechless.

"Is this from Mrs. Qiu?" Qin Xiao took off his leather cloak and glanced at Jinxi indifferently.

"You don't believe me?" Although her eyes were light, they pierced Jin Xi's body like needles. Her nose was sore, and the tears she had endured for a long time flowed down, but it was not because of reluctance but because of grievance.

She is not a fool, how could she fail to see that the leather cloak was made according to Zhao Tingxuan's figure.Zhao Tingxuan, as the son of a family, naturally had some unwritten rules about his clothes, even if he was keeping his filial piety for the elder Zhao Ge, he would not wear such an extremely plain leather cloak, let alone it was specially worn for marching.

Apparently this was the luggage he had prepared for his mission to Kucha, and because of various accidents he couldn't use it, so he forwarded it to Qin Xiao.She understood better that even though it was Qiu Shi who came forward to deliver the clothes, it was Zhao Tingxuan's intention behind the scenes.

If she wanted to get rid of herself, she didn't need to take out these leather cloaks, but just changed the size of Tang Tiancai's old leather cloaks.But Tang Tiancai's leather cloaks had been worn for several years, and the skins were all tanned and not warm at all. She couldn't bear to let Qin Xiao suffer, so...unexpectedly, he even suspected her!

Qin Xiao was taken aback, he didn't expect such a violent reaction from the woman he said casually.Quickly said: "I didn't mean that, don't think about it!"

"Then what kind of eyes did you use to look at me just now?" Jin Xi grumbled, unwilling to let go.

"I was wrong, it's all my fault, I'll always look at you like this from now on!" Qin Xiao hurriedly apologized, and even put on an affectionate posture while speaking.

He admitted that he felt a little uncomfortable when he realized that the clothes were sent by Zhao Tingxuan.But he didn't mean to doubt the woman, he just felt that Zhao Tingxuan's mother-in-law was too careful, and such a small matter was always on her mind, so how could she become a big weapon?After thinking about it, I realized that Zhao Tingxuan was a wicked person, and whenever he found an opportunity, he would go to the little girl, but he didn't have the guts to speak out.

But these words can't be confessed to a woman, and it will definitely cause another disturbance, so I just use coaxing directly.

"I know you're talking nonsense!" Jin Xi laughed through his tears, although he still felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want to argue with him about such things before leaving.

The night of parting was doomed to sleeplessness, Jin Xi leaned against Qin Xiao's arms, and wanted to keep her eyes open and look at him all night.But was coaxed softly by Qin Xiao, and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing her tightly sleeping by the sleeves of her tunic, frowning tightly, and her frightened and uneasy appearance made Qin Xiao feel great pain.

For the whole night, Qin Xiao leaned over the woman without moving, staring blankly at her face.Not only do you want to imprint her whole person in your mind, but also engrave her mood in your bones.

Thousands of thoughts fluctuated in his mind, until the sky turned slightly blue, and he finally made up his mind.

Gently pulled out the arm numb from Jin Xi's pillow.Turned over and got out of bed, sat at the table and spread out a pen and paper.

The Xiangzhu pen, which is usually light as a feather, is now as heavy as a thousand weights. It hangs in the air for a long time before it falls, and solemnly wrote the sentence "Xi'er, my wife". When he froze, a dot of ink fell from the end of the pen, instantly drying up the paper.

Qin Xiao silently lifted up the paper and lit it close to the candle.Only when the good Chengxintang letter paper was turned into ashes inch by inch, did they spread out another letter paper.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and things can be seen clearly without candlelight.

Qin Xiao finally picked up his pen again and started writing letters.Every time I write a word, the expression on my face becomes more painful, and the fingers holding the pen holder become stiffer.As I was writing, my hand that had never trembled while holding a sword was so trembling that I couldn't hold the pen.

There was a soft sound of leather-soled riding boots touching the brick floor from far and near outside, Zhou Qingniu squeezed his throat, and yelled softly from the door, "Master Hou should go..."

Qin Xiao fought with his hands, as if he had been awakened, his whole body froze.Taking a deep breath, he wrote quickly.

After I finished writing, I didn't seem to dare to read the above content.He quickly picked it up and shook it against the wind twice, and the ink was half dry, so he folded it and stuffed it in an envelope, sealed it with wax paint, and wrote Jin Xi's name on the outside of the envelope with a very solemn expression.

She stared blankly at Jin Xi's name on the letter for a long while.Then he took another piece of paper, pondered for a while, wrote a few words on it with a pen, stuffed it into a bigger envelope together with the sealed letter just now, and sealed it again with wax.

Qin Xiao got up, put on his clothes and walked to the bed, gently touched Jin Xi's face, then lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips.

It was as light as a feather, but Jin Xi sat up all of a sudden, and saw Qin Xiao standing by the bed neatly dressed, his eyes turned red, "Ah Xiao!" biting his lips desperately, not letting himself rush over, Not letting myself cry out, it took me a while to say in a changed voice: "You will succeed soon, go back early!"

Qin Xiao turned around abruptly, and when he walked to the door, he let out a heavy 'hmm'. The thick nasal sound made Zhou Qingniu who was standing outside the door tightened his heart, Master Hou is... crying?
Jin Xi sat on the bed blankly without moving. Qin Xiao said last night that she would not be allowed to see her off.She wants to be an obedient woman and stay at home waiting for him to come back.

In fact, even if Qin Xiao didn't tell her, she wouldn't go see him off, because...she was afraid!
Afraid of the parting scene, afraid that his back would drift away, but she could do nothing but stay where she was, watching helplessly...

She got up, took a bath, changed her clothes and accessories very carefully, went straight to the Buddhist hall, and respectfully put three pillars of fragrance in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva who had just been invited back, and put her palms together and prayed: "May the Bodhisattva bless..."

At the same time, outside the Wuwei gate, Zhao Tingxuan, who accompanied the prince to see the army off, was called aside by Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao looked at him with complicated eyes, and after a long time, he took out an envelope sealed with wax paint from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Tingxuan...

 Can you guess what was written in Uncle Qin's letter?Why did Mao want to hand it over to Zhao Tingxuan?whee……
