Chapter 4 first quarter

Shangyang Pass, the station of the supply camp of the Lower Tang Dynasty. Lu Guichen came in carrying a roll of marching quilt, and threw it on the flat and soft kang covered with straw: "The general said, from today onwards, you will live here and take care of the princess exclusively." Pointing to a barracks inside: "There is also the man inside. He has broken several bones, and the medical officer has helped him align the bones and tie them up. Remember not to let him move too much." The tall and bright woman was standing against the wall in fear, her hands clinging tightly to her thighs on both sides.She had already changed out of her torn dress, but her hair was not combed properly, and her dark eyes showed fear and vigilance, unlike before she was released from the underground warehouse, she was quiet at that time, those women She didn't even yell when they jumped on her and beat her. I don't know if she was dumbfounded or completely forgot to be afraid.

"Don't go out and walk around. This is the center of the supply camp. It is surrounded by large carts and the guards have also sent extra manpower. General sergeants are not allowed to enter or leave here. The general is worried that the princess will be harassed, so he made such an arrangement on purpose." Lu Guichen saw that she was not moving, so he went to help her shake off the quilt, "I was also assigned to patrol, but I will come back at night. If you need anything, you can tell me." He paused: "But now there are too many wounded, and the supplies are very scarce. When the Li army retreated, they burned a lot of luggage and food. In a few days, the supplies will not be able to keep up. I am afraid that there will not be enough bread."

The woman came up with her head down, snatched the quilt from Lu Guichen's hand, and spread it out by herself.She is skilled in movements, far from being comparable to a noble boy like Lu Guichen who was raised by others. "I forgot again, what's your name?" Lu Guichen scratched his head. "My surname is Ye, Ye Jin." The woman said in a low voice, "My lord, please call me A Jin. You are a noble man, and you can't work for lowly people like us. Don't do it next time." "What's the difference?" Lu Guichen was stunned for a moment, and comforted her, "It's not a big deal. I heard that you are the daughter of Master Ye Zhengshu, the chariot captain who used to guard Shangyang Pass? You also come from a family."

"Yes." Ye Jin said softly. Lu Guichen felt that there was nothing else he could say to this woman, so he turned his head and approached the room, where Ji Ye was looking up at the roof, helplessly motionless.Lu Guichen had something on his mind, and seeing his friend's appearance, like a little wild animal being tied down on the ground, he felt a little more relaxed, and couldn't help smiling. "I don't need any care!" Ji Ye couldn't help saying loudly, "It's fine for me to stay like this!" "What the general said was not my idea." Lu Guichen pressed his index finger on his lips to signal him to speak in a low voice, "Don't yell, Princess Xiaozhou is resting in the opposite room now, don't disturb Her Royal Highness."

"I'm just asking why I want to live with two women?" Ji Ye was angrily. Lu Guichen scratched his head: "Actually, what the general said was..." "What did the original words say?" "The original words are because you can't move now, so it's safer to arrange the princess and the people who serve the princess here..." Ji Ye's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Guichen puzzled. "...This way you won't be attracted to the princess' peerless appearance." Lu Guichen continued. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and went out, closing the door behind his back.He knew that even if he stayed, he wouldn't hear anything good.

Lu Guichen turned around and was about to go out when he suddenly heard Ye Jin asking in a low voice behind him: "Why do you believe me?" Lu Guichen was stunned for a moment. From the first time he saw Ye Jin, he never seemed to have doubted this woman. Maybe it's just that her eyes are a bit like Ji Ye's, or maybe it's because she's so quiet that she doesn't seem to be in any danger at all.Now when Ye Jin asked, he realized that this woman was considered half an enemy, and he wanted to leave the immobile Ji Ye and the young princess under her care. "If you really want to harm Her Highness the Princess, you don't have to wait until now, right?" He paused at this point, "And it's true that there are no suitable people..."

"Those people all..." Lu Guichen glanced at the barracks where Xiaozhou was resting, and lowered his voice: "Dead. The subordinates of General Cheng and General Fei became angry and killed the few remaining people. We sent people there later , there are twelve corpses below. Only Mrs. Shuang's body has not been found, but now her whereabouts cannot be found." "I don't know if I will have the chance to meet my father." Ye Jin begged in a low voice. "Sure," Lu Guichen nodded, "I heard that Lord Ye Zhengshu is fine now, but I don't know where he is placed. I'll go to the general and ask for you."
