Shu Blossoms

Chapter 18 Timing
The sun slanted westward and gradually sank, and the interior of the house also darkened.

Zheng Wei pretended not to notice their abnormality, went to the desk and twisted a wick, and took the oil pot with the other hand, but it was empty after shaking it.

She looked back at Tuoba Yu suspiciously, and shook the bronze oil pot in her hand at him.

Tuoba Yu was embarrassed and turned to look at Xia Houqing.

Xia Houqing said expressionlessly: "It's used up."

Zheng Wei nodded and said, "Send someone to get some more. It's really uncomfortable to talk like this."

Xia Houqing didn't move, looked at Tuoba Yu for a while and then said, "No more."

Tuo Bayu was a little embarrassed, "How do I know that such a big pass is short of light and oil, and the slaves who cook these few days are extravagant."

In addition, he lit the oil lamp all night, but he ran out of oil in three days.

In fact, Tuobayu and other Xianbei people like meat, but where can I find some minced meat in this military camp, it is good to be full.

Those slaves naturally put more oil in order to make their meals less soupy and less watery. Unexpectedly, they used up all the oil used by Muling Pavilion for ten days.

In fact, not only the oil, but also the food was not much. Although there were not many people brought in, they could not bear the food.

Zheng Wei was speechless, she thought that Tuobayu could lead someone to guard Muling Pass alone, she thought she was resourceful, but after eating like this, no matter how you look at it, it looks like she is reckless!
Wasn't the Great Wei Emperor afraid of delaying the fighter and losing his son?

In fact, Tuobayu is also very angry. On weekdays, he only cares about charging and fighting, and he doesn't care about these trivial things.

In the past, Xia Houqing took care of these trivial matters for him.

According to Xia Houqing's plan, this matter would not have reached this stage.

But Xiahouqing is Han Chinese, in fact, it has never been accepted by the Xianbei people. Before in Dawei, because of his father's reputation, and Tuobayu also trusted him, no one dared to make him stumbling.

But in the current situation, everyone's minds are actually tense, and the rations are not allowed to be full, so naturally some people are dissatisfied, and they stumble and provoke him openly and secretly, and naturally they will not submit to his control.

In this way, things were messed up. Xia Houqing tried to solve it at first, but after seeing that it was really impossible, he told Tuobayu the truth.

Zheng Wei coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room, "Second question, if the vanguard comes, no matter how long you can resist, will you survive in the end? Or are you ready to die?"

The voice fell, but there was still silence in response to her.

Zheng Wei didn't expect them to answer, she just wanted to add fuel to the fire among them, so as to disrupt the enemy's position, she could take advantage of it.

"The third question is that the vanguard army is too late. Where did they go? Have they bypassed Muling Pass?"

Finally, as soon as this question came out, Tuoba Yu couldn't sit still any longer, and straightened up immediately.

"Who are you? Why do you know so much?"

There was no more lightness on his face, and a dangerous light flashed in his narrow eyes.

"I'm a little clerk's girl, but who can say that girls are ignorant?"

After asking what to ask, Zheng Wei also knew that there would be no other gains, so he said boringly: "After talking for so long, I think you won't give me some food and water, can I go back?"

Tuobayu also knew that he couldn't ask anything in such a painless manner. He didn't want to use any means with the porcelain doll for the time being, so he could only signal Xia Houqing to send her back.

"She is by no means a clerk's girl."

Xia Houqing came back and said decisively

"It's my fault. I think that the vanguards don't know these female relatives. We want her to be who she is at that time!"

Tuoba Yu said in a deep voice.

In this room, not long after Zheng Wei was brought back, someone actually gave her food and water.

Only her portion is stingy enough.

Liao Wennan and He Li were a little surprised. She didn't know how to explain the preferential treatment. She smiled helplessly and put the food into her sleeve pocket.

She thought that she didn't know if she would have food in the past few days, so she kept it for emergency.

Then Zheng Wei took the bowl of water and took a few sips before handing it to Liao Wennan.

Seeing this, Liao Wennan took it and drank a little from the other side of the bowl without being pretentious.

The rest is left to He Li.

On the contrary, this seven-foot man was a little embarrassed.

Zheng Wei quietly told Liao Wennan and He Li what she knew, and now there is no one else to discuss.

When she was at home before, Zheng Wei was the one who was protected. As long as those noble ladies from aristocratic families didn't play on her head, she would be too lazy to make up her mind.

Maybe it's because God saw that she had been living too comfortably these years, and she has been tossing her hard these days.

Zheng Wei felt that she was really tired.

She also told Liao Wennan about the abnormality she found.

Zheng Wei felt that not all the defenders of Muling Pass had been killed before. She heard a moan of pain when she walked through a door.

Liao Wennan pondered for a moment and felt that it was possible: "General Han certainly cannot delay Qingzhou's fighter opportunities because of these few people. If you want to come to Tuobayu, you must have more chips."

"But there are too many chips, and they don't have enough manpower. It's easy to get into trouble." Zheng Wei answered, "The most urgent task is to find a way to know where the sergeants are and what their condition is."

Liao Wennan looked down at He Li, "I don't think it will be better than him. Without combat power, no matter how many people are in vain."

"Otherwise, I'll find a way to explore." Liao Wennan lowered his voice and said after a long while seeing Zheng Wei's contemplation.

Zheng Wei was surprised.

Seeing this, Liao Wennan suddenly had a gorgeous smile on his face, Zheng Wei was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but look at him carefully.

Looking at Liao Wennan's beautiful appearance, she couldn't help but think of a pre-Qin poem she had read before, in which it was written: adding one part is too long, subtracting one part is too short; powder is too white, and Shi Zhu is too red; The eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like white snow; the waist is like a tuft, and the teeth are like shells;

Although Liao Wennan was a little embarrassed at this time, he still looked like the beauty who came out of the book.

A thought flashed through her mind, Zheng Wei lowered his head and glanced at Liao Wennan's hand, although it was a little rough, there were faint calluses between the fingers, but the fingers were round and slender.

She pretended to hold it inadvertently, weak and boneless, not as well-defined as ordinary men.

In the past, she always thought that Liao Wennan was like those smeared young men in Kyoto.

But after thinking about it today, I realized that there are many differences. Liao Wennan never wears rouge, nor does he incense incense, but the kind of charm on her body, even if she deliberately hides it, it will occasionally reveal it.

Maybe she guessed the truth.

Zheng Wei reached out and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, rubbed his hands back and forth, and then smeared it on Liao Wennan's cheeks. After looking at it, he still felt dissatisfied, and continued to apply it back and forth until it covered the entire face. When she could no longer see her charming little face, she let go of her hand with satisfaction.

Liao Wennan was taken aback by her action, but he understood what she meant in an instant, his heart warmed slightly, and he smiled at her again.Zheng Wei only felt that the pupils were splendid, and the waves were clear.

With a solemn face, she lowered her voice and warned: "This matter is a long-term plan, you are not allowed to laugh at people again."

After two days like this, only on the first day they were given a pot of black and yellow paste soup, and each person only got a little bit.

The next day there was only water.

In the past two days, I could often hear the commotion outside, and Zheng Wei felt that Tuo Bayu and the others had not eaten.

Maybe the time they were waiting for is coming!
