The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 338: Mentioning the past

The team walked ten miles out of the city gate, and exciting slogans were still ringing behind them.

With the support of the people, everyone seemed to have the courage to overcome everything.

The land of Daliang belongs to the people of Daliang. The barbarians from the northern border, don’t even think about setting foot in Daliang!

……

The march is boring.

At the beginning, there were people seeing him off on the roadside.

Gradually, the surroundings became more and more desolate, and not even a living creature could be seen.

We started late on the first day, so we quickened our pace.

Even so, by the time they set up camp, they had only walked 40 miles.

The signalman in front gave the signal for rest, and everyone stopped and waited on the spot.

Ye Xinran's carriage was sandwiched in the middle of the team.

As soon as the carriage stopped, she got out immediately, squatted on the side of the road and started retching!

"vomit!"

The feeling of nausea accompanied by physiological tears made Ye Xinran look very embarrassed.

Ding Qiao squatted beside her, gently stroking her back while handing her a water bag: "Master, drink some water to calm down."

Ye Xinran wiped her eyes, picked up the water bag and drank two sips of water, before she finally recovered a little.

"This road is too bumpy. Can you bear it, young lady?"

Ding Qiao began to worry.

Ye Xinran didn't expect that she would get carsick while riding in a carriage.

I had ridden in a horse-drawn carriage many times in the city before, but I didn't feel carsick at all that time.

Now that I think about it, it’s probably because the roads in the city are smoother and I haven’t sat on them for such a long time.

"fine!"

Ye Xinran took a breath and said, "You may not be used to it on the first day, but you will get used to it slowly."

The ordinary soldiers in the team were not familiar with Ye Xinran, but they had all heard of her. The woman who came with them was the one who made the seasoning packets for them.

Because of this relationship, seeing Ye Xinran in pain, several soldiers came up to ask about Ye Xinran's condition.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Ye Xinran thanked everyone who showed concern for her.

After a while, the soldiers behind ran up. They moved quickly and in unison, and soon formed a circle around the baggage wagon to protect it.

Zhang Qian was impressed and said to Ding Qiao, "Prince Rui is strict in managing his army, just like General Xiao."

Ding Qiao nodded. "I heard that Prince Rui and General Xiao were both disciples of Mr. Bai Zhen. Although they were thousands of miles apart and had not seen each other for a long time, they always appreciated each other."

Ye Xinran understood.

It turns out that King Rui and Xiao Huaian's father were fellow disciples.

No wonder they have so many ties.

"When Xiao Huaian's father was in trouble, didn't King Rui plead for him?"

Ye Xinran asked.

He had seen how Prince Rui and the Emperor got along.

The emperor trusts and relies on Prince Rui very much.

Ye Xinran believed that if Prince Rui had given his full support when the incident happened, the Xiao family would not have suffered the tragic disaster of being wiped out.

"We were all in the northern border at the beginning and didn't know what was going on in the capital."

Zhang Qian said, “But I heard that Prince Rui had asked the emperor for mercy, but at that time Prince Rui didn’t have as much power as he does now.

Moreover, this matter involved the former crown prince's attempt to usurp the throne, and the emperor was very angry at the time.

It is said that Prince Rui knelt outside the study for three days and three nights, but the emperor did not summon him. "

In just a few words, Ye Xinran could already imagine the complicated situation at that time.

The emperor held great power and had the power of life and death at his disposal. One wonders what Prince Rui felt when he saw the people he wanted to protect being killed one by one.

……

The sky has darkened.

Not far away, the fireman was busy cooking.

The flames jumped, and thick smoke drifted towards the sky.

They are still relatively safe within Daliang.

After dinner, everyone spread out the mats they carried on their backs on the ground and lay down on the floor.

Ye Xinran and his friends have a carriage.

She and Ding Qiao could curl up and lie flat in the carriage, but Zhang Qian could only put a wooden board on the edge of the carriage and lie on it.

Although Ye Xinran had prepared herself mentally before leaving home, now that she was really on the road, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to home.

I don’t know whether my mother sent Ning Yuer and her son to jail.

No one knows where the village head and his men are now!

If you calculate, the Chinese New Year is only half a month away. Can they get back to Yunbian Village before the Chinese New Year?

Can they reach northern Xinjiang before the Chinese New Year?

The more thoughts in her mind, the more she couldn't sleep.

After turning over for the third time, Ding Qiao finally couldn't help asking, "Master, is it too cold to sleep? Let me cover you with my quilt."

As Ding Qiao spoke, she actually sat up and tried to cover Ye Xinran with her quilt.

Ye Xinran quickly refused: "It's not cold, it's not cold, I'm holding a heater in my arms!"

"Are you homesick?"

As a woman, Ding Qiao can most easily understand Ye Xinran's mood.

Ye Xinran nodded, "A little bit."

"or……"

Ding Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "This time, Zhang Qian and I will go to Northern Xinjiang for you.

We are used to traveling around the world, and this kind of life is really too hard for you, young lady."

Ye Xinran shook her head and said sincerely: "Ding Qiao, I am not acting on impulse. I have my reasons for going to Northern Xinjiang this time.

Although I cannot tell you the reason now, I know that there are some things that no one else can do except me. "

The "some things" Ye Xinran mentioned refers to her own space.

With the space, she can at least protect the safety of the food under extreme conditions.

But Ding Qiao thought of another thing.

“I know

The master's medical skills are the best.

But the power of one person is limited after all. To put it bluntly, the master can save a dying emperor, but may not be able to save many injured soldiers.

Master, please don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Ye Xinran knew that Ding Qiao was comforting her.

She was afraid that when she really went to the battlefield in the future, she would feel helpless and blame herself when faced with many injured soldiers.

"Don't worry." Ye Xinran comforted, "I understand all these principles. I won't embarrass myself.

Ding Qiao, you are really a very thoughtful person.

Have you been with Xiao Huaian since you were a child? "

"Yes!"

Ding Qiao quickly replied, "Zhang Qian and I are both orphans adopted by General Xiao. Because we are about the same age, we were arranged to serve our master.

Although we were his attendants at that time, General Xiao let us practice martial arts and study with the master, treating us like his own children. The master treated us like friends. "

"Then tell me, what kind of person was Xiao Huaian when he was a child?"

Talking about her childhood, Ye Xinran suddenly became interested.
