Chapter 176 The flexible fat man

The two people who came on horseback looked quite interesting.

One person's skin is as white as snow, wearing a white cloak, he is quite fluffy, sitting on a horse, like two people, like a cotton candy that has just been blown, in this world of ice and snow, it almost blends into the background One.

As for the other person, his face was as black as coal.Duan Yi carefully confirmed that there was no crescent moon mark on his forehead, and then he was relieved.Fortunately, this is a normal world.

When Marshmallow saw Su Yun, he rushed over joyfully like a puppy that had been off the rope. He stretched out his hand and pulled Su Yun off the horse.

"You boy, why did you disappear without saying a word! I couldn't find it anywhere, and I thought you were dead. I didn't expect that you would learn how to shoot a spear. Have you lost all the sword skills I taught you before?"

As he spoke, he pushed Su Yun away, looked him up and down, and nodded.

"Good boy, he's much stronger than before," he said, pointing to Heitan who was silent beside him, "Song Cheng, he's also good at wielding a gun. After your father found out, he was specially asked to come here."

"Su Yun! I told you, the envoy's only son. When he was a child, I often took him to play in the army and taught him swordsmanship. You know General Cui, so I won't talk about it."

Marshmallow said happily, obviously very happy to see Su Yun again.

As he said, he nodded slightly at Duan Yi, "This should be Mrs. Duan San, right? I'm Zhao Chuanshen in Hongzhou."

The name is not convincing at all.

Duan Yi moved her eyes and cupped her fists at Zhao Chuanshen, "Jincheng Duan Yi."

Zhao Chuanshen didn't say much, he patted Su Yun's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile, "The military situation is urgent, let's set out first, and we will talk about the past later. The little prince is the commander of our army, why don't you follow Zhao to the former army among?"

"Your father is afraid that you will be unfamiliar. Most of the people sent here this time are those you have met when you were young. Moreover, with Song Cheng here, he can also teach you marksmanship."

Su Yun glanced at Duan Yi, and shook his head decisively, "Uncle Zhao, don't bother me, it will delay the march. I'll just go with Duan San."

Zhao Chuanshen didn't force himself, he smiled and walked towards the Su family's army.

Duan Yi got on the horse and looked at him. Although Zhao Chuanshen looked like a giant, his movements were extremely flexible. With just a light tiptoe, he floated onto the horse like a feather.

This is a very flexible fat man.

Duan Yi thought, and patted her horse away.Although the two armies moved forward together, they were clearly separated, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

Zhao Chuanshen came several times and asked Su Yun to join the Su family army, but he refused all of them.

A group of people marched at high speed, and when they stopped to repair and set up camp, the Jiangnan East Road was already one step away.

Duan Yi sat in front of the fire and handed the wine beside him to Cui Zigeng.

The camp was quiet, except for the patrolling soldiers, the others had already entered the tents and fell asleep.

She woke up hungry in her sleep and went out to look for food, but she saw Cui Zigeng sitting by the fire.

Cui Zigeng took a sip from the wine sac and turned the steamed bun in his hand. His technique was very good, the steamed steamed bun was baked until it was browned, exuding a tempting aroma.

He handed the skewer in his hand to Duan Yi, "It's baked, and I added my secret spices on it, it's very fragrant."

Duan Yi took it and quickly took a bite, it was so hot that she stuck out her tongue, she leaned over, grabbed the wine bag next to Cui Zigeng, took a big sip, and then she recovered, and continued to eat.

"Cui Zi is more selling buns, selling and boasting", really fragrant!Duan Yi sniffed.

Cui Zi looked at it even more, hooked the corners of his mouth, he turned the fire in front of him, and added two more firewood.

"Didn't you ask me that day? About Xuan Yingjun, about my father and brother."

Duan Yi regained her energy and nodded, "Last time you didn't say anything, but you were interrupted by the messenger. These days, we are on the road non-stop, and I didn't find the right time to ask you."

"You have reached the two borders. If your brother is not a fool, he must have reacted. I am afraid that if we don't have to go to Suzhou, we will have to hand over soldiers in these two days. Knowing ourselves and knowing each other is invincible, and I didn't mean to spy on you private matter."

Cui Zi shook his head, "It's okay."

"Didn't I say last time that my mother didn't come from a small family, but she had a marriage contract with my father before, and she was a well-matched person? If you know something about the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, find an old man from the past to inquire about it. able to know the identity of my mother."

Duan Yi was taken aback for a moment, for so many years ago, she had devoted herself to martial arts and infrastructure construction, and she really knew almost nothing about the secrets of the royal family.

She doesn't know, but she can guess.

"Your mother is a member of the royal family of King Zheng's line?" Duan Yi thought, and shook her head again, "No, the time is not right."

"Chen Heqing is not much older than me. He is the posthumous son of King Zheng. You are a generation behind us in your age, and your mother is not implicated by King Zheng."

Duan Yi explained to herself.

"Your age? A seniority difference?" Cui Zigeng's voice became deeper and deeper, with a bit of danger.

Duan Yi was not afraid at all, "Grandpa, think about when you were invincible with a long sword, I was still a little girl who didn't even know martial arts. Calling you uncle is not an exaggeration."

"If you got married earlier, I would be able to enlighten your son now. There is nothing wrong with being old, at least you eat a lot of salt, so don't be sad."

Cui Zi took a deep breath, "You are so young, why don't you ask someone to feed you?"

Duan Yi chuckled, "I think so, but no one would dare!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a pickle on the side of her mouth...

Duan Yi's face was like a pickle, she moved her head away, "You said that you are a general anyway, the future king of Jiangnan, why is it either a steamed bun or a pickle, you can't even see a meat flower."

Cui Zi raised his eyebrows even more, and took the pickle back, "Didn't you dare to eat it if someone dared to feed it?"

Duan Yi cleared her throat, and said nonsense with a thick old face, "Kids are very picky eaters."

Cui Zigeng's lips turned up, and even the tear mole under his eyes seemed to be smiling. He opened a steamed bun he baked for himself, put the pickles in it, and ate it slowly.

Seeing that he was eating well, Duan Yi poked his head, Cui Zi raised his hand behind his head, and brought out a small jar with a pair of chopsticks in it, obviously the pickles were inside.

Duan Yi picked up the chopsticks, took one of them, and stuffed it into her steamed bun. This time, it became even more delicious.

"Speaking of my mother, she should be King Zheng's aunt. Have you ever thought that when the sun goes down, boating on the lake, there should be gold waves? It shouldn't be a normal thing? The late emperor was not a stupid person, why did he take it as auspicious , favor King Zheng?"

Duan Yi looked at Cui Zigeng. Cui Zigeng told her this story, saying that his mother told him.
