Chapter 79

Linglong and Ling’er took the people from the courtyard, and helped Xi Yue prepare two large bags of luggage-a change of clothes, a refreshment water bag, and broken silver jewelry… Eliminate one and a half of them in a word:

“There are dry food sacs in the army, so please bring a change of underwear and a bit of broken silver. It will only take three or five days to get to Xiaoyan City without accident. It is inconvenient to carry too much luggage.”

I searched around again, wondering: “Second Miss’s bows and arrows, domain diagrams, writing on paper, pen and ink, and military leather pouches, where did you put them?”

Everyone: “……!”

Linger ate and said, “Do you still need those things?”

Guangzuo was speechless for a while: “Second Miss, where is the small warehouse, you take me there, let me clean it up.”

Linglong led him to the utility room.

Guangzuo started to draw things: the domain map, paper, pen and ink, and put them into the leather bag; the bow and arrow were carried, and they could be fixed on the saddle when going out; he also took a lot of standing wound medicine.

Ling’er squeezed her handkerchief and was a little bit sceptical. With so many of them, they didn’t even think about the second Miss.

“Guangzuo, along the way, the safety of the second Miss is entrusted to you…”

Linglong worriedly exhorted: “You must keep the second Miss, and come back safely!”

Guangzuo smiled slightly: “Don’t worry…Second Miss, it’s much stronger than you think.”

Carrying a bunch of things to go out, Xi Yue was already wearing armor and waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard. Gong Jiu didn’t see it. Guangzuo walked quickly over: “Second Miss, didn’t you say that Mr. Gong is also with you?”

“…” Xi Yue glanced at the red bat that was pierced in her cloak: “He…he will follow one step later, let’s set off first.”

“Second Miss, the third aunt is here!”



When Xi Yue turned her head, she saw An’s being rushed by Ru’er.

“Sanyi Niang, didn’t you say that you were unwell a few days ago, why did you come here specially?” Xi Yue hurried forward, holding An’s other hand, and let her sit down on the stone bench in the yard for the time being.

An’s pressed her mouth with her kerchief, calmed down the cough that he wanted to burst out because he was walking in a hurry, and laughed: “Second Miss is going to go far, so no matter how she has to come and send her second Miss. Second Miss, you go, If you fall into evil on the road, my aunt can’t help you at all, only…”

She took off a necklace from her neck. The pendant was a small jade Buddha with some warmth. She pulled Xi Yue’s hand and placed it in her palm:

“Only this is the ornaments that the monks had asked for in the past, and the eminent monks opened them up. Miss, take it, and keep it safe!”

“Sanyi Niang…”

An’s put her five fingers together and held the necklace: “My auntie has already placed the second Miss, and she looks like the second Miss is as important as the third Miss, and the second Miss refuses to accept it. Is it because she dislikes her aunt?…”

Xi Yue felt hot in her heart and bowed her body to salute: “Given the elders, I dare not give up. Sanyi Niang, thank you for your kindness!”

Let Ling’er and Linglong help immediately, lift off the cloak, remove half of the armor, put the necklace close to the neck, and reorganize the clothes.

An’s looked at her with a smile, and took a large bag of things from the other maid who had brought it, and handed it to Guangzuo: “This is the dried meat and some snacks that my auntie specially baked. Let’s take it on the road. It’s not good to keep eating corn cakes when you’re away from home.”

Xi Yue’s eyes lit up: “The third aunt still understands me!”

She has the best bite of sweets. In modern times, I am afraid of gaining weight and dare not eat more. In ancient times, the conditions were limited and there was no pursuit. The small snacks made by An’s are rare to her appetite, but I am embarrassed to always go for it.

After all, it is laborious and time-consuming to do this kind of things, and An’s health is not good. Unexpectedly, An’s knew her preferences a long time ago, and specially sent this big bag.

Seeing her, An’s eyebrows were curled with a smile, and he was also happy:

“Auntie is best at making desserts, but unfortunately your third sister is addicted to spicy food. Thanks to the second Miss, you have room for auntie’s craftsmanship. When the second Miss comes back, auntie will make more for you!”

Xi Yue took her arm affectionately: “Then I will wait for my aunt to do it later—”

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, he said straightforwardly: “Auntie, after I leave, if anyone troubles you, just ask someone to tell the outside courtyard to Guangyi, or tell Ling’er and Linglong: I leave the manpower, they will Help you.”

An’s patted her hands: “Don’t worry… After so many years, the aunt has survived and brought up your third younger sister… The aunt is not as useless as you think. You, the watery girl in the yard, my aunt will help you take care of her.”

Xi Yue didn’t know whether she was speaking or not, and smiled: “Okay, Sanyi Niang, please help me take care of them! They are young and don’t understand a lot of things, so you can help me with more guidance.”

It was not early, and everyone reluctantly sent Xi Yue to the back door of the mansion. Guangyi and Guangchen led a healthy horse and waited there. He picked up the baggage that Guangzuo was full of and bound them on the backs of two horses.

“Second Miss…” Zhuang’er tugged at Xi Yue’s cloak, “Second Miss, you have to come back early!”

Xi Yue rubbed her head: “Okay! You have to eat more–really, it’s still bean sprouts after raising you for so long. I don’t know, I think your second Miss treats you badly!”

He twisted her cheeks, turned on the horse with a smile, and took Guangzuo, and galloped away. There were tears in the eyes of a few people pretending to be missing.

There must be many more situations for her to travel abroad in the future, Ling’er and the others… let’s get used to it as soon as possible!

“Second Miss, Xinwan households are escorting grain and grass. They are already waiting outside the city gate to the north.”

Away from Xi’s mansion, seeing Xi Yue slowing down the reins, Guang Zuo Ce immediately moved forward and bridles with her. Xi Yue nodded, touched the mane of her mount, and moved north.

Arrived at the city gate, I saw banners spreading, and a long line of mule carts stretched for several miles, with no end in sight; on both sides of the mule carts were heavily armed light cavalry. Xin Chuan sat in a temporary tent set up on the side of the road and waited. When he saw Xi Yue, he frowned first:

“Second Miss, why did you arrive at this time? Change to the battlefield, such a delay in the war, I don’t know how many times your head has been chopped off for a long time!”

Xi Yue was not angry: “It seems that Xin Wanhu didn’t make an appointment with me, right?”

“Speaking of which, I’m still the second Miss’s cousin…”

Xin Chuan tugged stiffly: “Second Miss, you don’t need to be so polite from now on, just call me cousin!”

Xi Yue sneered, just about to express his sarcasm, Guangzuo, who was following, gave her a wink, she endured it, and didn’t say it. Xin Chuan did not expect her to bow her head honestly, got up and took her out of the tent, pointed the mule cart and the cavalry team and said:

“This time the Young Mansion sent a thousand people to escort five hundred stones for grain, five hundred stones for grass, and five hundred mule carts. Among them, there were six hundred civilians and only four hundred combat troops. The situation is huge. I hope that the two Miss and I work together to complete this task!”

“…”

After Xi Yue listened to his series of data, his mind began to be confused again. Mental calculation for a long time:

One stone in ancient times seems to be equal to one hundred and twenty catties in modern times? In other words, they escorted 120,000 catties of grain and grass this time!

Heaven–How much did Xi Gui trust her and send her to participate in such an important logistics task? !
