Chapter 249 Candlelight at Night

Chapter 2 Seventy Candlelight at Night

Sun Jiayao entered the role very quickly. She regards this place as the novice village in the game, and Chang Bubai and the others are NPCs. She has already started to enjoy the queen's treatment.

Of course there are good food and wine, Mr. Zheng has already ordered his servants to make them, and Chang Bubai has prepared more.

Originally, their family planned to have a concubine for their second son Chang Weina today, and all the dignified people in the village were invited, and the food and drinks were ready-made.

Soon, the banquet was set up in the gazebo, but only Jiang Xiaobai, Sun Jiayao, Chang Wei and the eldest lady were eligible to sit inside and enjoy it.

The others were all spectators, and they could only stand a dozen meters away, holding torches and watching in awe.

After tossing and tossing for a whole day, Jiang Xiaobai was already so hungry that his heart was on his back, so when the food and wine came to the table, there was a gust of wind and clouds immediately.

Sun Jiayao is similar, she has been on a hunger strike for three days in order to protest her mother's forced marriage, and she broke her fast today, regardless of her image as a girl, she ate with her cheeks open.

This is a pain for the eldest lady and Chang Wei, they lived in a time when they paid great attention to table manners, and they have never seen such a scene of eating and drinking.

Chang Wei was not far behind. Although he didn't know that he had become the deputy head, he had already been transformed by the Gate of Time and Space. He naturally developed a sense of closeness to Jiang Xiaobai. Although he didn't dare to do so, he also I don't feel particularly awkward.

But the eldest lady is uncomfortable. She has been pampered and pampered all her life, and the few times she meets at the table are all gentle and elegant people, who pay attention to eating slowly and demeanor. When she saw Jiang Xiaobai grab a chicken leg directly At that time, I was so surprised that I almost fainted.

Is this a god, is this an expert, and the driver at home doesn't eat like this.

Fortunately, this tormenting process was not very long. It only took Jiang Xiaobai and Sun Jiayao more than ten minutes to eat a full meal, and the speed slowed down and became much more elegant.

"Ma'am, don't be ridiculous, I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten all day!" Jiang Xiaobai put down the chicken legs, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and said, "Pack up and go back to Yizhou tomorrow, the old man is here Waiting over there."

"Master Bao, the woman is just about to talk about this." The lady said cautiously: "The Jin soldiers occupied Yizhou City, killed the Jin people, and killed the Song people. How can the Song and Jin countries give up? With the large army encircling and suppressing, Yizhou will become a place of war, it is not safe!"

This was also what Jiang Xiaobai was worried about, and asked, "Song is going to send troops?"

The eldest lady glanced at Chang Wei and said, "Today is Mr. Chang's day of great joy, but his elder brother Du Yuhou couldn't come back to congratulate him. I heard from Mr. Chang that it is time to prepare for war."

Chang Wei said: "Master, my brother recently received an order to transport food and grass for the army, so he can't come back."

Looks like there's going to be a real war.

Jiang Xiaobai asked: "Your brother wants to command an army to attack Yizhou?"

"My brother is leading the Xiang army, so how can he be qualified to fight the enemy?" Chang Wei said, "I heard that a general surnamed Li will lead the army this time, and he will lead the [-] imperial troops stationed in Baozhou to wipe out the enemy." bandit."

"1 people, return the forbidden army?" Jiang Xiaobai was startled.

Where did the 1 forbidden troops come from the small Baozhou City? Using [-] people to attack Yizhou City, which is only defended by a few hundred people, is it too much of a fuss?
Chang Wei said: "Baozhou was originally a border city. In the past, if it was to defend the Liao people going south, there were many troops stationed there. Years ago, the Song Dynasty joined forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom, and the army went north to attack Youzhou. After failing, they retreated. They have been stationed for almost a year. gone."

It turned out to be like this, Jiang Xiaobai asked: "Do you know when they will send troops?"

Chang Wei said: "How can a small person like me know about important military and national affairs. But according to my brother, the gentlemen in the city haven't even prepared the departure fee, and it may take a few days before they can leave."

"Departure fee?" Jiang Xiaobai heard such a term for the first time.

Chang Wei said: "The master has lived in the fairy world for a long time, and he doesn't understand the rules of the mortal world. The soldiers of our Song Dynasty are different from the Liao and Jin people. They will not go to the battlefield without the starting fee."

There is still such a tradition, Jiang Xiaobai is greatly moved, no wonder the Song Army's combat effectiveness is low, and they will not go into battle without paying. Is this still a soldier?

But this is a good thing for Jiang Xiaobai. The longer they delay, the better prepared Yizhou City will be.

It would be best if they never got together the starting fee, then Jiang Xiaobai wouldn't have to meet Song Jun's swordsmen.

Seeing what Da Furen means, she is not willing to return to Yizhou for the time being, because she is really afraid of war.

It doesn't matter if you don't go, you can send someone to Yizhou to deliver the letter, just don't worry Wei Qiuyue.

After eating, Jiang Xiaobai called Chang Bubai and Zheng Yuanwai over again, and had a brief chat.

Looking at the nervous eyes of these two old guys, Jiang Xiaobai was sure that they had already regarded himself and Sun Jiayao as gods, and would never dare to take revenge on Da Furen and them again.

This is the best way, Jiang Xiaobai ordered Zheng Yuanwai and Chang Bubai to go back and quickly prepare money, food and houses, so as to entertain the eldest lady and the servants she brought, if they dare to neglect, they will not forgive them.

Best, Jiang Xiaobai ordered Chang Wei to come to the gazebo every morning, afternoon and evening to stay for a stick of incense.

As for what to do, Jiang Xiaobai didn't say anything, but Chang Wei almost knelt down and kowtowed in excitement.

I came back from the dead, the pockmarks on my face disappeared miraculously, and my lame leg improved rapidly. This is the fairy fate!

Waiting for the call of the gods here, that is the blessing of the previous dozen generations!

Finally, at around ten o'clock at night, Jiang Xiaobai dragged the reluctant Sun Jiayao through the second and third gates and returned to the living room.

As soon as he landed, Jiang Xiaobai noticed something unusual.

It was a moment of silence, but there was a red light shining in the direction of the master bedroom on the north side, and the low cry of a woman kept coming.

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback: "Who?"

Sun Jiayao frowned, and said disgustedly: "Don't pay attention to her, she's a fake merciful cat. She must think that I'm dead, and I won't be able to earn the gift money, so she's sad."

"That's your mother?"

Jiang Xiaobai knew that Sun Jiayao's mother and daughter depended on each other for life, and her mother was not there during the day when the house was burned down, so she should be back now.

That's not good?
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and walked towards the bedroom.

The door of the bedroom had been burned, leaving only a black frame. With the help of the faint light, Jiang Xiaobai found a gray-haired old woman kneeling on the ground, facing the twisted and deformed anti-theft window in front of her. talking about something.

In front of the old woman, three candles were lit in a row, and fruit cakes were placed beside the candles, obviously offering sacrifices to the dead.

"Jia Yao, mom is wrong, mom shouldn't force you!" The old woman with disheveled hair kowtowed to the window sill.

Sun Jiayao also came to the door of the bedroom, and said coldly: "Now I know I was wrong, why did I have to marry that old man?"

"Jiayao!" The old woman turned around, with an ecstatic expression on her face, and rushed towards her with open arms: "My daughter, we finally meet in hell!"

"Tick tick..." The moment the old woman raised her arm, Jiang Xiaobai was shocked to see the blood gushing out continuously.

"not good!"
